Chapter 308 Mud
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Prince Jingbei's Mansion.
After Xie Jingyu got off the carriage, he helped Shen Wan down, and the gatekeeper's shoulders were shaking.
There is no Crown Prince who cannot be separated from the Crown Princess for even a moment. If there is a war at the border one day and he is away at the border for a year or two, won’t the Crown Princess miss him to death?
The two of them strolled back to Zhaolanxuan. Just as they entered the courtyard, they heard footsteps behind them. Chen Ping looked back and said, "Master, the young master of Linjiang Marquis and his men are here..."
Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu stopped and saw Prince Yuzhang and Chu Yang Zhao Ang walking towards them. They looked very dignified and pleasing to the eye.
As soon as he stepped forward, Chu Yang gave Xie Jingyu a bear hug and said, "Good brother, thank you for thinking so highly of me..."
Chu Yang was full of gratitude, while Prince Yuzhang and Zhao Ang looked unhappy. "We are all brothers, but Brother Jing Yu only respects Chu Yang and looks down on us?"
Shen Wan, “…???”
Xie Jingyu said, "Let's go to the study and talk about it."
Prince Yuzhang and his men politely saluted Chen Wan, then walked to the study arm in arm.
After entering the study, seeing Chu Yang's excited face, Prince Yuzhang and Zhao Ang couldn't help but want to beat Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu said, "Going to Jizhou is full of dangers. This is not a place for you to go for fun."
Chu Yang put away his playful heart and became serious, "I know that the emperor's token is not given casually."
That was a token that could allow him to execute first and report later, something that even his father didn't have. Just based on this token, he knew that the trip to Jizhou would not be easy.
He usually goes out early and comes back late to play. No matter what he does, his father is worried and thinks he is unreliable. But his father doesn't find anything for him to do. What else can he do if not play?
He was bored every day and looked for fun everywhere. He didn't expect that his father didn't trust him, but Xie Jingyu trusted him very much. He persuaded the emperor to arrange such an important task for him right away. He knew that he could be reborn with the wrong father, but he would never make the wrong friends.
Chu Yang felt relieved when he thought of his own father’s constipated face and the way he wanted to hit him but couldn’t.
Well, the emperor summoned the Marquis of Linjiang. When the palace servants went to the Marquis's mansion to deliver the message, the Marquis of Linjiang was beating his son, making him jump up and down. The reason was that the Marquis's wife was urging him to get married. She brought a bunch of portraits of ladies from wealthy families for Chu Yang to choose from. Chu Yang didn't like any of them. The Marquis of Linjiang was so angry that he said, "Be so picky. Think about whether you are worthy of the girl."
Chu Yang replied, "You're not worthy of it, so why are you showing it to me?"
"How dare you talk back?!"
Chu Yang hid behind the wife of Linjiang Hou and complained, "Mom, Dad won't even let me speak. Please take care of him."
The angry Marquis Linjiang picked up a feather duster and beat his son.
In the middle of the fight, the emperor summoned him. Linjiang Hou angrily threw the feather duster to the ground and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."
When the Marquis of Linjiang entered the palace, he heard that the granary in Jizhou had been burned, with hundreds of thousands of dan of grain and fodder destroyed. He thought the emperor was asking him to go to Jizhou to investigate the robbery, so he immediately said, "I will go to Jizhou to investigate this matter."
The emperor said, "I didn't ask you to go."
Shouldn't you let him go?
Why did the emperor call him here to talk to him about this?
Marquis Linjiang asked, "Then why did the Emperor ask me to enter the palace...?"
The Emperor said, "The Prince of Jingbei recommended your son. I asked you to come here to ask him to investigate this matter."
Marquis Linjiang, “…???”
Is he dreaming and hasn't woken up yet?
Such an important matter, can it be handed over to his son?
Even if the emperor trusts the Prince of Jingbei, he cannot believe everything the Prince of Jingbei says.
Linjiang Hou said, "The Jizhou granary flooding case is no small matter. My son has never done a single serious job in his life. We absolutely cannot hand it over to him. I'll take care of it..."
"Marquis Linjiang shouldn't underestimate his son."
The emperor threw the token to Marquis Linjiang. The four big words "As if I were here in person" on it almost blinded Marquis Linjiang's eyes.
Marquis Linjiang left in the middle of the fight. Chu Yang wanted to leave the house, but his wife wouldn't let him. So he had to stay in the house and couldn't go anywhere.
When Linjiang Hou left, his face was stinky, and when he came back, his face was even stinkier.
When Lady Linjianghou saw this, she asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Seeing his son's nonchalant expression, he said, "You don't stand properly, you don't sit properly, stand still!"
Chu Yang twitched his lips and stood still.
Linjiang Hou threw the token to him. Chu Yang took it and looked at it back and forth in disbelief. "Dad, the emperor trusts you so much that he even gave you a token like this?"
Really, I can't bear to beat my son at all.
"This is given to you by the Emperor!"
Chu Yang's eyes widened, and he reached out to touch his father's forehead, "Dad, did you take the wrong medicine?"
The wife of the Marquis of Linjiang also said, "What nonsense is the master talking about?"
Marquis Linjiang clutched his chest and said, "The Jizhou granary was burned. The Prince of Jingbei recommended this bastard to the Emperor, asking him to go to Jizhou with the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion to assist the Yun family in disaster relief. He gave him this token so that he could secretly investigate the Jizhou granary case."
The wife of the Marquis of Linjiang said, "Isn't this a joke? How can our son investigate such a serious case?"
Marquis Linjiang said, "I might not be able to find out even if I go, but the emperor trusts the prince of Jingbei and told me not to underestimate this bastard. What can I do?"
"Pack his luggage."
Chu Yang looked at the token in his hand and smiled from ear to ear.
Lady Linjianghou was worried and warned, "Don't lose the token."
Linjiang Hou responded with an angry voice, "If you dare to lose it, I will break your legs!"
Xie Jingyu thought so highly of him, so Chu Yang put the token in his pocket and was about to go and thank Xie Jingyu. On the way, he met Prince Yuzhang and Zhao Ang, and told them that he was going to Jizhou. Prince Yuzhang and Zhao Ang were not convinced, and then they came to Prince Jingbei's Mansion together.
Prince Yuzhang complained, "Jizhou is so dangerous, and you trust Chu Yang to go alone. Why don't you let us go with you?"
Xie Jingyu said, "It's best if you three don't work together."
Prince Yuzhang asked, "Why?"
"Separated we are invincible, united we are nothing but mud. Don't you know that?"
Chu Yang, “…”
Zhao Ang, "..."
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Prince Yuzhang wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't know whether they could be invincible individually, but when the three of them got together, they were really a mess.
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Nothing to say.
Chu Yang said, "I'll go, that's all. What do you want me to do with Young Master Du?"
Xie Jingyu said, "This journey is dangerous. The son of the Left Prime Minister is the amulet I found for you. If you make good use of him, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Although I believe you can solve this case, please do not put yourself in danger and make sure you return safely."
Chu Yang said, "Since you trust me so much, I will get to the bottom of this case even if it means I have to overturn Jizhou."
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Let's have a good drink at Deyue Tower tonight as a farewell party for me."
Xie Jingyu looked at Chu Yang, "Why are you going to Jizhou so early?"
Chu Yang was a little confused, "Aren't we going tomorrow?"
"Departure in seven days."
Chu Yang's eyes twitched, "Then my father asked my mother to pack my luggage..."
Prince Yuzhang patted Chu Yang on the shoulder and laughed, "Your father says he won't let you go, but in fact he can't wait for you to leave."
