Chapter 106 Helian Renxin's Back-up Plan
At this time in Yu's study, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Lin were waiting for the return of the Emperor of Great Chu.
The Great Chu Emperor finally escaped from the Ninghe Palace and headed towards Yu's study.
As they walked, he asked Meng Quande, "Do you know what this is about?"
"I heard from the Crown Prince that there was news from the Marquis Dingguo, but he didn't say anything specific, only that he would report it to His Majesty." Meng Quande explained, "Lord Lin said that there was a letter from the Dali Kingdom."
The Emperor of Great Chu probably understood what was going on, and he quickened his pace.
"Your Majesty, after the morning court today, I received a secret letter from Marquis Dingguo, saying that Helian Renxin contacted him, and Marquis Dingguo wrote to ask whether I should cooperate with him." The prince knew that his father was busy with state affairs and there were many things going on in the harem, so he did not delay and reported the business directly.
The Great Chu Emperor nodded and said, "You have been solely responsible for this matter from the beginning. You can handle it on your own."
Now, the Emperor of Great Chu has handed over many memorials on hand to the Crown Prince for processing. He handles state affairs very much in line with his own wishes. In fact, by comparison, his current ability even surpasses that of his younger self.
I have to say that this son of mine and Qingya is very outstanding and is a very suitable crown prince.
Qingyan is a person of good character, and with Qingyan's guidance, he will be fine.
When Prime Minister Lin saw that the Crown Prince's affairs had been reported, he spoke up, "Your Majesty, I also received a letter from the Dali Kingdom today. The Dali Kingdom wrote to ask for your Majesty's permission, saying that they want to send an envoy to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday in May. I would like to ask Your Majesty if it is possible."
The Great Chu Emperor laughed upon hearing this: "Lord Dali is thoughtful. I approve it."
Speaking of the Dali Kingdom, the Emperor of Great Chu thought of Concubine Wen again. It had indeed been a long time since he had visited her Hanguang Palace to visit her and her son. It was time to make a trip.
After all, we have come all the way to this great Chu State, so we should pay more attention to them and their son.
But for some reason, I thought of Concubine Ning who had just had a miscarriage, and I couldn't help but feel a headache.
As for Helian Renxin, after receiving the advice from Marquis Dingguo that day, he suddenly seemed to wake up. He calmed down and returned to the country, and devoted himself to being a subject to Helian Hengxin.
Helian Hengxin was naturally worried, but he did not dare to attack Helian Renxin easily.
He summoned his uncle He Bakui to the palace and asked, "Uncle, what do you think should be done with Helian Renxin now?"
Although He Bakui was not Helian Hengxin's biological uncle, he could not ascend to the throne without He Bakui's help. Now Helian Hengxin relies on him very much and he has become the prime minister.
However, He Bakui now holds a high position and has his own selfish desires. He is not as honest with Helian Hengxin as he was back then.
What's more, as soon as Helian Zhuli entered the territory of Yuefeng Kingdom, she secretly contacted him.
He Bakui has always been known for his lustful nature. Helian Zhuli claims to be the most beautiful woman in Yuefeng Kingdom. When He Bakui heard that it was Helian Zhuli who wanted to meet her, he hurried over to meet her.
Helian Zhuli dressed up carefully before going to meet He Bakui.
When He Bakui saw Helian Zhuli throwing herself into his arms, he could not resist.
What was even more unexpected was that Helian Zhuli actually proposed to be He Bakui's secret lover.
He Bakui was a simple-minded person to begin with, and although he was confused, Helian Zhuli's words quickly convinced him.
"My Lord Prime Minister, now that my father has passed away and my brother has lost the throne, I, a weak woman, have no one to rely on," Helian Zhuli wiped away her tears delicately, "Now the emperor is probably hating my brother and me, I am really... really scared."
"We can only rely on the Prime Minister. If we can get the Prime Minister's help, my brother and I can live safely in Yuefeng Country."
"My brother and I don't have any other requests now. We just hope to live a stable and prosperous life."
Helian Zhuli softened He Bakui's heart with just a few words. He immediately held her in his arms and said generously, "Don't worry, since you are my woman, I will never let you down in my position of being second only to me."
And in his arms, Helian Zhuli's eyes couldn't help but flash with calculation.
Therefore, when dealing with Helian Hengxin's question, He Bakui's answer was more selfish: "Your Majesty, although Helian Renxin has no one to rely on now, the world is now stable, so we can no longer call for war and kill him. It is better to take him in and use him for our own benefit."
Helian Hengxin frowned when he heard this. This statement was not in line with his uncle's simple and rough character, and he began to feel doubtful.
Then he continued to test, "What do you think we should do, uncle?"
"In my opinion, Your Majesty might as well give Helian Renxin the Prince Ren Palace and allow him to participate in politics, but just give him some unimportant tasks to do, and at the same time send someone to closely monitor him."
"If this is the case, then it is the utmost kindness to the King, and those ministers who supported him in the past will have nothing to say."
"This way, we can also stabilize the court."
Naturally, these words were revealed to He Bakui openly or secretly by Helian Zhuli.
But Helian Hengxin thought it made sense: "I didn't expect that my uncle would be so successful now. With my uncle, I feel that I am not alone."
He Bakui has always been a rough man, and now that Helian Hengxin praised him so much, he couldn't help but feel proud: "Your Majesty is making progress, and as a minister, I must keep up with your Majesty's pace."
With He Bakui's recommendation, Helian Renxin was able to smoothly enter the court and participate in politics.
Helian Renxin also changed his previous domineering attitude. Just when the ministers thought that His Royal Highness Renwang would embarrass His Majesty in the court, they did not expect that he would be so respectful to His Majesty.
Of course, a minister who used to follow Helian Renxin found the king and said, "Your Highness is the legitimate bloodline of our royal family. Now that you have returned to the country, why don't you compete with Helian Hengxin?"
"Your Majesty, we are willing to serve you like dogs and horses." There were people who came with the minister and expressed their loyalty to Helian Renxin.
Helian Renxin waved his hands and smiled, "Now that the overall situation has been decided, since Helian Hengxin can be a good ruler of this country, I am willing to be loyal to him."
After saying this, he took two steps outside and looked into the distance: "This time, I have been to the Great Chu Kingdom and I deeply feel that the prosperity of the Great Chu Kingdom is far better than that of my Yuefeng Kingdom. The right thing is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Now that Helian Hengxin has ascended the throne, I am unwilling to be reborn as a charcoal."
After saying this, he bowed to several ministers and said, "I also ask you to help Helian Hengxin for the sake of my father's face. I am also willing to work with Helian Hengxin to create prosperity for Yuefeng Kingdom."
Naturally, these words were passed to the palace by the spy that Helian Hengxin had planted next to Helian Renxin.
For a moment, Helian Hengxin was a little confused. Could it be that his useless brother really changed his personality after his trip to the Great Chu Kingdom?
