So even though Shanshui Village is extremely remote, the villagers will talk about it for days on end.
But after the discussion, everyone went back to doing what they were doing, and they never talked about it again unless it was something important. After all, the distance between the emperor and the people was too great, and there was nothing left to discuss.
Shui Qing searched through all her memories, but all she knew was that the new emperor had ascended the throne; she knew nothing else.
Was the new emperor very old when he ascended the throne?
Fan Jin knew that Shui Qing had misunderstood, which was a great disrespect, but it was fine in their own house. He reminded her, "The new emperor is still young."
Shui Qing remained silent. Since the new emperor was young and unharmed, why was he so nervous?
"The new emperor wants to reduce the power of the princes!" Fan Jin lowered his voice, but didn't hide it from Ling Ran, so Ling Ran heard him too.
He strode over, looking surprised and uncertain, and asked, "Is it true? Are you sure?"
Fan Jin recounted what had just happened: "When I was escorting the old village chief back, Changlin happened to be returning from the academy. He said that the imperial court intends to weaken the power of the princes, and perhaps it has already begun."
It was because I chatted with Li Changlin for a while that I was delayed in getting back.
Upon hearing about the reduction of the power of the feudal lords, Shui Qingxin raised her hand.
Throughout history, weakening the power of regional warlords has always been a major event, one that could easily trigger war!
After all, he was a powerful regional king who had money, grain, and manpower at his disposal. Who would be willing to hand over all of his wealth, grain, and manpower?
It's too easy to reverse!
In times of war, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most.
Unfortunately, her entire family now belongs to the common people.
One second she was thinking about how to make life better for her children, the next she was thinking about saving her own life!
Nowadays, the requirement is that good or bad doesn't matter; life is the most important thing.
She suddenly remembered the lockers in the mall, which could be used to store things and carry them with her. If the vassal king really rebelled and war broke out, lockers would be a must-buy!
However, it's too expensive. My current money is only enough for two cubic meters, which can't hold much. I need to earn more money quickly...
In an instant, Shui Qing had already thought of many possible scenarios. After considering her options, she asked firmly, "Is the capital of the Ming Dynasty in Jinling City?"
Where is the most powerful rebellious prince?
God help me, please don't let it happen in the south, otherwise if a fight breaks out, they'll definitely suffer here.
Fan Jin was stunned. Chang Lin was just a student at the academy; how could he know these things?
Which powerful vassal kings were far beyond the knowledge of ordinary people like them.
After asking, Shui Qing understood.
Yes, let alone the teenager Changlin, how could even an adult like Fan Jin know?
"The Wild Goose King of Beidu." A voice of certainty came softly.
Shui Qing and Fan Jin both looked toward the source of the sound.
It's Ling Ran!
That makes sense, though. Let alone their family being from Shanshui Village, no, in the entire Guangning Prefecture, there are probably few people more familiar with the situation above than Ling Ran.
Shui Qing quickly waved to him, and after he came over, she asked, "Quickly, tell us what you know. Don't worry, we promise we won't tell anyone!"
Ling Ran chuckled.
He trusted them as much as they trusted him.
That's why he spoke up, and he was prepared for the questions they were going to ask.
"The current emperor's father died early, and the late emperor, who was also his grandfather, directly passed the throne to him. The Prince of Yan is his fourth uncle."
When the grandfather passed the throne directly to his grandson, Shui Qing's mind went blank for a moment, and something gradually became clear.
