Chapter 187: The Last City of the Ming Empire (Part 4) (1/2)

Tang Tong suddenly smiled slightly and said, "If this imperial edict is kept for four hundred years, it will definitely be very valuable. I wonder who will get it in the future."

Hou Fangyu and Chen He did not understand what Tang Tong meant by his sudden words, but they did not need to understand. For Hou Fangyu, as long as Prince Tang was happy, it was all that mattered. As for whether the imperial edict was valuable or not, it had nothing to do with him, Hou Fangyu. When Chen He saw Tang Tong smile, he also felt happy.

Tang Tong did not agree to what was written in the imperial edict, nor did he refuse what was written in the imperial edict. In fact, Chen He did not complete the task given to him by Emperor Chongzhen, but being able to escape the current hurdle and live a few more days was also a blessing. Especially when Chen He was saying goodbye to Tang Tong, Tang Tong asked Hou Fangyu to take Chen He to meet the Crown Prince of Dali. This made Chen He feel unexpectedly happy. Of course, Chen He's joy was not because he was loyal to Dali, but after knowing the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would have the opportunity to express his loyalty to Emperor Chongzhen when he returned to the capital. With the intelligence Chen He developed in the palace, he knew how to say this and how to let His Majesty the Emperor know how he had worked hard to find out these things for Dali.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a prisoner of Tang Tong, he lived a very good life. Compared with the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not have to worry about being killed after the city was broken. Without these worries, he could enjoy his life more comfortably. Before Jinling City was captured by Tang Tong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince collected many beauties from Jiangnan. Although they were not inferior to the concubines around his father in appearance, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not have high requirements. He was still young and was at an age full of curiosity about the opposite sex. In some aspects, his aesthetic views were not exactly the same as those of adults. As long as the woman was beautiful and attractive to men, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be interested in her.

Of course, if there is a woman who can be as beautiful and charming as Concubine Tian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would certainly like her more, but he is only a crown prince of a royal family in the period of decline, and there is an emperor above him. It is not easy for a truly stunning beauty to fall into his hands. He is also a person who is easily satisfied under the crown prince, at least now it is much better than when he was with his father. This kind of free life is enough for him.

When Chen He was walking on the road, he was still thinking about how to comfort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had become a prisoner. However, after seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chen He was a little surprised, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was now rosy-cheeked, white and plump, and did not look like a prisoner at all. When watching Chen He asking him to salute, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still holding two beauties and laughing there. Seeing this situation, Chen He didn't know what to do. He was just a little eunuch and had no knowledge. But Hou Fangyu was a scholar and had much more knowledge. Seeing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did, he couldn't help but applaud His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom in saving his life. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that people cannot help but be helpless, but few people can understand the wisdom of that A Dou. As the saying goes, "Happy here, don't miss Shu." People like Hou Fangyu naturally know who is foolish and who is smart.

Now, the unruly and unruly behavior of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also done for Tang Tong to see. At least in Hou Fangyu's mind, this great His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this just to save his own life under the nose of Prince Tang. He was hinting to Prince Tang that his His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a person with no ambition and would not pose a threat to him. As a member of a royal dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's behavior was undoubtedly the smartest way.

The Crown Prince of Da'an was not a fool. On the contrary, he was well-educated and had some scheming. After falling into Tang Tong's hands, he knew what he should do. No matter for his own life or for the Da'an Dynasty, he had to save his own life first. Without his life, everything was empty. In addition, the Crown Prince was originally a lustful man. Unlike his father who could control himself, his behavior became more and more lewd.

Chen He came to see him. The Crown Prince knew that his life would be reported to his father by this little eunuch. However, at this time, his father was far away in the capital, in the last isolated city of Dali. He could not even take care of himself, so how could he take care of his son? Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion, he had to draw a clear line with this little eunuch Chen He. He did not want Prince Tang to know that he still had Dali in his heart.
