Chapter 313 Officially Ended
Power is not something that can't exist in one mountain with two tigers. After all, Xiao Yuan and Jin Zekang handled the situation very well when they were evenly matched.
But the prerequisite is that both of them do not have too much ambition and are not stubborn and selfish.
It is not impossible to cooperate in business, but it is obvious that the brothers Jin Zeyu and Jin Zekang are not suitable for sharing power.
Even though Jin Zeyu's throne was given to him by Jin Zekang, Jin Zeyu trusted Xiao Yuan more than his biological brother over the years.
It’s not that he can’t tell the difference between inside and outside; on the contrary, this child is too smart.
For thousands of years from ancient times to the present, there have been eunuchs who have abused their power and controlled the government, but no eunuch has ever ascended the throne.
It was impossible for Xiao Yuan to have a son. He just adopted a little eunuch as his adopted son. He didn't need to bear the blame for plotting to usurp the throne.
But his royal brother is different.
His royal brother only appears to have no son, but it is hard to say whether he has an illegitimate child secretly or will have a son in the future.
Once he had it, how could he let his brother take the throne instead of giving it to his own son?
When his father passed away, he said that his elder brother could dethrone him.
He had finally risen from a nobody to the emperor, so how could he be willing to fall back into the status of an idle prince?
He might not even be able to become a prince of leisure. As a deposed emperor, the best outcome for him would be lifelong imprisonment.
Although this possibility is very small, it is not impossible. Jin Zeyu has had this idea in his mind since he was a teenager.
That's why he was extremely reluctant when Xiao Yuan resigned.
Even though he knew that the Marquis of Zhenguo had a good relationship with his royal brother and might not necessarily stand on his side, he still hoped that there would be such a big Buddha to keep the court in check.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
Xiao Yuan withdrew and his brother stayed, and the conflict between them became more and more prominent.
Jin Zekang was too lazy to care what the little emperor thought. Half a year after Xie Zhuo left, he left a letter for Jin Zeyu and left.
He discussed this with Yu Hui before leaving.
This departure meant he was leaving the capital forever, and to save face for everyone he planned to fake his death.
He has been claiming to be sick for the past six months and has long since let it be known that he is not in good health, so I don't think anyone would dare to lift the lid of his coffin.
As for the emperor, he left a letter.
As an elder brother, I have already made enough concessions. Unless that kid suddenly becomes stupid, he won't reveal it.
After all, Yu Hui is the widow of the Regent Prince, so Jin Zeyu should treat her well even if she stays in the capital.
Yu Hui had no opinion on Jinzekang's decision.
Two people have been married for ten years and have spoken no more than a few hundred sentences.
They were just a couple in name only, and it was good enough that the other party could tell her that he was considering her.
When Jiang Xinyu and the others left, she knew this day would come soon.
It's also good to go to Quanrong, where it's freer than in the capital. If it weren't for her mother's family, she would have planned to settle there with Alan.
Jin Zeyu is still rubbing his hands and is eager to compete with his royal brother as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Unexpectedly, this person directly cut off his source of trouble.
He didn't believe a word of the news that he died of illness, but the letter he received shortly afterwards confirmed it.
Knowing that his brother had faked his death and would not play with him anymore, Jin Zeyu felt mixed emotions, feeling relieved yet depressed at the same time.
As everyone was about to leave, Jin Zekang didn't even think of saying anything angrily or scolding his brother for being ungrateful.
Instead, he analyzed the problems between the two of them in the tone of an elder brother.
The letter was very touching. The reason for faking his death and leaving was that he didn't want Jin Zeyu to compromise himself for the sake of power.
In order to seize power and compete with his brother, an emperor reluctantly married a bunch of daughters of powerful officials whom he disliked.
This is not what his brother wants to see.
Jin Zekang's wave of family affection chicken soup was not in vain. Even when someone later reported to the emperor that Bao Beibei, a princess of the Eighth Route Army, occupied a large fiefdom and was suspected of rebellion, Jin Zeyu ignored it.
He knew that the land did not belong to Bao Beibei, but was a way out left for him by his royal brother.
Zhenguo Hou also went there after he retired and returned to his hometown.
They were all people who had done him favors, and now that they had left the center of power, he couldn't just kill them all.
Some relationships are just like that, those far away are fragrant, while those close by are smelly.
When Jin Zekang had the ability to change the emperor, he chose to give in, which brought back all the good memories that Jin Zeyu had of his brother.
In power struggles, admonition and instruction can be misinterpreted as reprimand.
After the separation, the punishment he had received in the past turned into the elder brother's wish for his younger brother to succeed.
Not only was Yu Hui, the widow of the Regent Prince, treated well, but even Ye Xiaohezhang, who remained in the capital, was still valued and not suspected.
Year after year, the young emperor grew into middle-aged, holding great power and prestige.
There were beauties in the harem one after another, capable ministers and generals in the court one after another, and he already had more than a dozen princes and princesses around him.
Jin Zeyu was full of energy and ambition at this time, but he also truly realized what it meant to be lonely at the top.
Facing the praises and loving gazes of the beauties around him, Jin Zeyu always felt that these were all so fake.
He knew very well that those people were not concerned about him as a person but about his status as emperor.
In contrast, the teachings and care given to him by his brother the emperor and sister Yu are even more precious.
Sometimes people are just mean.
The longer the time lost, the thicker the filter of the brain becomes. Rice grains become white moonlight, and mosquito blood becomes cinnabar mole.
This can be seen from Jin Zeyu's preferential treatment of Bao Beibei.
With tax reductions and exemptions and bonuses, people who don't know would think that Bao Beibei, a princess with no blood relationship with the royal family, is so favored.
In fact, the letters and gifts sent along with the rewards were all for Jiang Xinyu, Xiao Yuan, and Jin Zekang.
Only when facing these three people can Jin Zeyu regain some of his true nature.
In his letters, he would complain about the stupidity of the ministers, the hypocritical women in the harem, the empress dowager's weakness and lack of progress over the years, and the interesting stories of a certain prince or princess.
This is a side of the emperor's true character that the court officials and concubines in the harem will never see.
But it seemed a little ridiculous to Jin Zekang.
Late affection is cheaper than grass.
If this guy really knew how to repay kindness and valued affection, they wouldn't have had to run away thousands of miles to live in seclusion.
Xiao Yuan ran away one step ahead of the chicken thief and became a good man, and the relationship between the king and his subject was a good story.
I was only a year late and I was targeted everywhere. If it had been three to five years, I guess they would have been at war with each other.
Why is he writing to reminisce about the time they spent together?
No bad people!
However, if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you'd be a bastard.
Jin Zekang is still willing to do it if he can just fool around and produce some worthless specialties to reduce taxes and make them richer.
Writing a few nice words doesn't cost you a penny, but the taxes you save are real money.
When Xie Zhuo faked his death and came here, Jiang Xinyu also felt disappointed with Jin Zeyu.
I originally thought that Beibei was worrying too much, but I didn't expect that she just didn't understand human nature well enough.
How come a child who was so smart, sensible and grateful when he was young has changed?
As soon as he came to power, he started to kill the donkey...
Ugh, you're crossing the river and then destroying the bridge.
She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if they didn't have this escape route.
After Jin Zekang arrived, no one was too lazy to mention that ungrateful little thing.
Today, the Quanrong area is peaceful and prosperous, with strong soldiers and horses, thanks to their management.
This place is like a paradise embedded in the vast grassland, without complicated forces and without decadent and outdated ideas.
Those who migrated here were all disaster victims and few of them could read, so many rules were re-established by the rulers of this land.
Many ideas that are inconvenient to realize in Dajin can be fully experimented here.
The people here can live and work in peace and contentment.
Here, both boys and girls can go to school for free.
The medical care here is no less than that in Dajin...
This article ends here!
From then on, these three strange couples stayed away from the court and lived a free and happy life.
Liu Xu and Jiang Xinyu would occasionally go to Jiangnan to visit Mrs. Wang.
The Qian family's caravans also began to travel to the Quanrong to do business and brought back some news and letters.
After Ye Xiaohezhang's adopted son was admitted to the government, these two also came.
Except for four couples who couldn't have a child, the whole thing could be considered perfect.
As for Jiang Wanqiu, he has no martial arts skills, no connections, and no enough money.
Even rebirth could not change her situation.
In the face of absolute power, any attempt to cut corners is completely useless.
All the maids and old women in the Jiang family have been replaced by people from the Dongchang. They can't even leave the house, so it's useless to know anything.
When Jiang Wanqiu wanted to go out to look for opportunities, Jiang Xinyu let the violent Jiang Quan go back.
Before she left, the family had already killed each other.
Only the foolish Jiang Song survived.
The maid who gave birth to his child did not despise him, and the family of three lived in the Jiang family's house.
Jiang Wanqiu was unwilling to give up until his death, and even wanted to see Jiang Xinyu again and again.
But for Jiang Xinyu, it doesn't matter whether she is the heroine or not. They are not from the same class and it would be cheap to quarrel with her.
The one who lives his life to the fullest and ignores the other person is the real winner.
This is the first time that the stupid author has written an ancient romance novel, so he is mentally prepared for the poor writing and bad results.
Thank you for sticking with me, I feel sorry for your eyes. (_|||)
The stupid author will work harder in the future, congratulations on the completion!
