Chapter 218 Calling Father

Capital city.

The news of the smallpox outbreak in the suburbs of Beijing quickly spread throughout the capital.

Rumor has it that even the Empress Dowager contracted smallpox.

Suddenly, people in the capital were in panic.

Many people wanted to flee the capital as quickly as possible, but found that the city was under martial law.

At the same time, the prices of traditional Chinese medicine and rice in the capital city soared, which made the people panic and cried out that they could not afford to live.

It wasn't just the people in the capital who were shocked.

Even the nobles in the capital were in a panic.

They were the first to feel the ripples beneath the calm surface of the capital.

Especially the three scoring champions have been performing mediocrely recently.

Obviously something big is going to happen.

and……

A smallpox epidemic broke out in Princess Anle's villa outside the capital, but their children were also there.

Doesn't this mean that their most proud heir and daughter will also be infected with smallpox?

As a result, these wealthy families became even more anxious.

While I was anxious, I also subconsciously found a way out for myself.

Now they finally understand.

His Majesty Chu Yingrui wants to weaken the power of the three princes, but the three princes are not willing to surrender. Now that there is an epidemic in the capital, I am afraid that someone will soon take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble.

It will soon be unsafe to film in the capital.

I'm afraid that what happened eighteen years ago will happen again.

How will they stand this time?

Someone began to contact the three princes.

Someone began to secretly contact several princes.

Of course, there were also people who expressed their loyalty directly to Chu Yingrui.

For example, the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Marquis Zhongyong: "Mother..."

The Grand Princess said: "Go ahead and protect His Majesty. As for the house, I'll be there. No one dares to touch the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion... Take Xie Ze with you. Listen more to your son and His Majesty, and I'll be relieved."

For example, the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhen put on his armor again, "Madam..."

Zhou Qiongying: "Go ahead and protect His Majesty. I and Zhuoran are at home... As for you, listen to His Majesty more and take Yuansong with you. As long as you are obedient, I will be relieved."

then……

The loyal and brave Marquis and Jiang Zhen, who fought side by side again, always felt a little awkward when they met again.

They are invincible generals on the battlefield, so why do they make the women at home so worried?

However...

My wife is right!

…

…

In the capital, every family began to prepare for the upcoming changes.

In the palace, Chu Yingrui was somewhat excited to see Chu Wuxiang.

"Wu Xuan, I knew you would be fine!"

When Chu Yingrui heard that there was a smallpox outbreak in Princess Anle's villa, he was extremely anxious.

The biological son he had finally found was such an outstanding one.

How...how did this happen?

Chu Yingrui wanted to rush to the villa immediately.

But...reason told him no.

This matter must have been the work of the three princes.

And soon after, the news from Chu Wuxiang also confirmed this.

But what made Chu Yingrui happiest among the news from Chu Wuxun was... Chu Wuxun said that Jiang Yueyao had found a way to cure smallpox.

After seeing the news, Chu Yingrui drank a whole bottle of Shenxianzui.

Smallpox, a cure has been found!

Chu Yingrui didn't doubt the fairy's ability at all.

But seeing his healthy son at this moment, he was still a little excited.

"Your Majesty, let's get down to business."

Chu Wuxun pushed his father away with an expressionless face.

Although... Chu Yingrui had been very enthusiastic towards him when he was King Jing, but... ever since Chu Yingrui knew that they were father and son, he always felt even more enthusiastic.

Every time we meet, we hug each other, hold hands, etc...

Chu Wuxun said...it would be better to be King Jing.

Chu Yingrui looked at Chu Wuxun with an abandoned look.

Whose unlucky child is this?

Why can't I understand my old father's feelings?

However...

It's time to get down to business.

Chu Wuxun: "Your Majesty, have all the people in the palace been vaccinated?"

Chu Yingrui: "Who have these families in the capital contacted recently? Have you investigated them all?"

Good guys, the father and son spoke at the same time, but they were talking about two completely different things.

But these are also the two topics of today.

After Chu Wuxeng brought back the vaccination method, he immediately arranged for someone to bring cows back to the capital and secretly vaccinated the people in the palace with cowpox.

Of course……

People from the Jiang family and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion were not left behind either.

As for Chu Wuxun himself... after the vaccination, he secretly brought a team of black-armored guards back to the capital, and has been quietly investigating these powerful families in the capital.

The power of the three princes is not to be feared; what is to be feared is the human heart.

People in the capital were worried that the rebellion of the kings eighteen years ago would happen again, but Chu Yingrui was even more unwilling to see such a thing happen.

so……

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get a good look at the hearts of people in the capital.

The father and son told the same story.

Chu Yingrui sighed.

"Alas, although I knew from the fairy's voice that this day would come, I never thought it would come so soon."

Chu Wuxun had no expression on his face.

"Perhaps it's because Your Majesty has put too much pressure on them. Two of the three princes have had their fiefs changed, and their entire families have moved to the capital. During this period, the personnel of the six ministries have frequently moved... Even if the three princes were blinded by the benefits of seizing the throne before, they can now see that Your Majesty is using it to weaken their strength. The officials they have finally placed in the court over the years have been pulled out one by one during this period. It would be strange if they were not anxious."

Chu Yingrui sighed again, "Alas, as expected, I am really too good."

Chu Wuxun had no expression on his face.

ε=(′ο｀*)))

After the father and son looked at each other, Chu Yingrui suddenly laughed.

"Wu Xie, let me test you. What do you think Chu Tianming would do?"

Chu Wuxun spoke without even thinking.

"They will definitely start with you, Your Majesty. After all, Your Majesty fought your way to the top in the bloody rain. With you, the Chu State has a pillar of support... So, if they want to disrupt the court and define you as a tyrant, they must first immobilize you."

"They probably don't know that we already know that Chu Tianming is the grandson of Prince Yong, so... they must let Chu Tianming take action against you."

"Method? Most likely poisoning."

Chu Yingrui was a little disappointed that he didn't get Chu Wujin's exam, but also a little proud.

He is worthy of being the child that I raised myself, worthy of being his child.

It's excellent!

that is……

"Wu-Heng, you are already my biological son, why do you always call me Your Majesty? You should call me Father!"

Chu Wuxun: "Your Majesty, I'm used to it."

Chu Yingrui: "Then get used to calling me father again. Come on, call me father, father!"

Chu Wuxun: “Yeah.”
