The Third Prince’s Mansion.
Yun Li was very annoyed that Yun Zheng was named king.
He is still just a prince!
Yun Zheng actually transformed himself into the King of Jingbei?
So when they see Yun Zheng in the future, they will have to call him Prince?
Thinking about this, he felt worse than if he had eaten a fly.
"No problem!"
Xu Shifu smiled and comforted Yun Li, "It's not easy to be the King of Jingbei! Just think of it as a title bestowed upon him posthumously by the Emperor!"
This is not difficult to see.
Anyone with a little bit of intelligence could see that Emperor Wen was mentally prepared for Yun Zheng to die in battle in Shuobei.
...
...
Otherwise, why would there only be a title but no prince’s ceremonial guards?
At the very least, we should build a palace for him, right?
Yun Zheng went to Shuobei before, perhaps to escape for his life.
But now, the battle of Shuobei is inevitable. With Yun Zheng's low ability, going to the battlefield will be a death destination!
"I know!"
Yun Li said with a dark face: "But I can't kill this bastard with my own hands. I feel very suffocated!"
"It's OK for him to die. There's no need for him to die in your hands."
Xu Shifu shook his head and said, "The most important thing for you now is to seize the position of Crown Prince. Everything else can be put aside!"
The position of crown prince!
When Yun Li heard these four words, he felt a headache.
My father has not yet appointed a crown prince.
I don’t know what my father is thinking.
Apart from myself, who else can be qualified to be the crown prince?
Yun Li rubbed his head and asked Xu Shifu, "How do you think our father will test us? The Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away now. Do you think our father will use the Mid-Autumn Festival to test us?"
Mid-Autumn Festival was the most likely time that Emperor Wen would use to test them, as he could think of.
In the past, the Mid-Autumn Festival was always celebrated with competitions on poetry, songs and the like.
I don’t know what this year will be like.
"Don't try to guess what His Majesty is thinking."
Xu Shifu shook his head gently. "Anyway, you only need to remember one thing. Before the position of Crown Prince is decided, you must be lenient to everyone. No matter how His Majesty tests you, you must not have any crooked thoughts like last time. You must let His Majesty see that you have really changed!"
Even these old foxes couldn't guess what Emperor Wen was thinking.
What’s more, it’s Yun Li?
Instead of guessing, it is better to do your best.
Yun Li thought about it, and then asked unwillingly, "Is there any way to teach Lao Liu a lesson before he goes to Shuobei? I really can't bear not to avenge him for hurting me!"
"you……"
Xu Shifu choked slightly and suddenly became very angry.
So, all he said for so long was in vain?
Yun Li still wants to cause trouble for Yun Zheng?
Is it worth it for him to give up the position of crown prince for a dying man?
For a moment, Xu Shifu wanted to slap Yun Li twice.
You are such a grown-up, but don’t you understand that a little lack of patience can ruin great plans?
Just when Xu Shifu was getting extremely angry, someone from the mansion suddenly came running over and said, "Your Highness, someone from the palace has come to announce the decree!"
Announce the decree?
Yun Li's heart moved.
Could it be that he wants to make himself the crown prince?
No, definitely not!
If you want to make me the crown prince, you should announce it in court!
But what else could there be besides this?
With a heart full of doubts, Yun Li walked out quickly.
The person who delivered the imperial edict was still Mu Shun.
After Yun Li knelt down, Mu Shun read aloud: "The emperor has issued an order: Third Prince Yun Li must prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and there must be no mistakes..."
Preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner?
Yun Li was a little confused.
Weren’t the Mid-Autumn Festival banquets in previous years organized by the Imperial Household Department in the palace?
How can we get him to organize it this year?
What's so great about preparing for such a crappy Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?
Even if you want to test his talent, there's no need to use something as trivial as preparing a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, right?
"I accept your order and thank you!"
Yun Li received the order and asked Mu Shun with confusion, "Mr. Mu, why did the emperor suddenly think of asking me to prepare a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? What is there to prepare for this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?"
Isn’t the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet all about eating, drinking, reciting poems and composing couplets?
If they are exhausted, they can just find some palace maids to dance to liven up the atmosphere.
It's just a trivial matter. Once it is arranged, someone will do it. What else do we need to prepare?
"I don't know."
Mu Shun shook his head gently, "Your Majesty's thoughts are beyond the reach of this old servant."
"Okay! Thank you, Manager Mu."
Yun Li had no choice but to look at the reward and personally escort Mu Shun out of the house.
After returning, Yun Li immediately found Xu Shifu and asked him about the matter.
Xu Shifu couldn't figure out Emperor Wen's intention for a moment, but he felt that this matter must not be that simple, so he just asked Yun Li to start doing this first while he thought about it.
Maybe this matter will determine whether Yun Li can become the crown prince!
He told Yun Li to do it well and not to make any mistakes!
Later on, we can also let Concubine Shu test Emperor Wen's attitude.
"All right!"
Yun Li nodded, "Then I will start preparing for it now."
Yun Li was a little depressed.
What is this?
Even if I am asked to raise military supplies and equipment, at least I can test my abilities.
No matter how lively a shabby Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is, what kind of ability can it demonstrate?
…
At Yun Zheng’s residence.
The original plaque of the Sixth Prince's Mansion has been replaced.
It became the Jingbei Palace.
However, it is just a royal palace in name only.
Its specifications cannot be compared with a real royal palace.
As for the guards and servants, there was no increase in them either.
But to Yun Zheng, it doesn’t matter.
No matter how big the palace is, he can’t take it away!
Just having the title of King of Jingbei is enough!
Once you arrive in Shuobei, this title will be very useful!
"Sell the gifts you received yesterday as soon as possible. Just keep a few decent ones."
Yun Zheng gave instructions to Ye Zi in the inner court.
The value of those gifts has been roughly calculated.
Converted into silver, it would be almost one million taels.
Adding the wealth and property bestowed by Emperor Wen today and the dividends from Zhang Xu, he earned nearly two million taels of silver in just two days.
I have to say that the Dagan Dynasty was truly wealthy.
No wonder Bei Huan always wanted to take over the Da Gan Dynasty.
However, for a large army, this amount of money is not enough to spend.
He heard from Xiao Dingwu that the annual military expenditure was 30 million taels of silver!
Moreover, it wasn't during wartime!
In wartime, it is possible to double it!
"Shouldn't Luoyan be asked to handle this?"
Ye Zi gave him a blank look.
"She's not in a position to do that."
Yun Zheng shook his head, "You should do it! I trust you to do it!"
"But I can't stay in the palace forever to do things for you!" Ye Zi lowered her eyebrows and said, "You and Luo Yan are already married, there is no reason for me to stay in your palace..."
She originally stayed in Yun Zheng's house on the pretext of helping Yun Zheng with all the arrangements for his wedding.
But now, this reason no longer works.
It is no longer appropriate for her, a lady personally appointed by the emperor, to stay in Yun Zheng's mansion.
"Does this require any reason?"
Yun Zheng didn't take it seriously and said casually, "It turned out like this during our wedding. Luo Yan was in a bad mood and got herself drunk. Is it okay for you, her sister-in-law, to stay and accompany her?"
Ye Zi was slightly stunned, bit her lip and said, "Do you really want to keep me in your house forever?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Yun Zheng laughed and said with a double meaning: "Don't even think about running! You can't get away!"
Ye Zi naturally heard the other meaning behind his words, and immediately glared at him with a red face, then stood up and walked out...
