The eldest prince was also in a difficult situation. If he didn't punish this person today, he might not be able to get through this.
"From my perspective, this person's family is poor. I think they are so anxious because they lack labor. Why don't you all be more lenient with them?"
The eldest prince was sweating. At this moment, he missed his second brother very much. His second brother was quick-witted and could also argue with people. He had once argued with him in the court and left him speechless.
If he were here today, I wonder if this group of people would still dare to put themselves here.
However, the eldest prince did not know at this time that his second brother was also in trouble. He was unable to protect himself and had no time to take care of him.
Kang Nan was determined not to let this man go and insisted on severely punishing him.
"Your Highness, you must give an explanation to those of us working in the mines. As a prince and the first to be crowned king, you absolutely cannot be partial."
The eldest prince had no choice but to look at the man on the ground with a distressed face.
"If that's the case, then what about what you said?"
Kang Nan sneered and glanced at the person on the ground.
He was originally looking for an excuse to transfer the Iron Cavalry today, but was delayed by this person. How could he let him go so easily?
"In my humble opinion, it would be better to punish him with eighty strokes of the cane and send him into exile!"
The people on the ground wailed and looked at the eldest prince in surprise. With his small body, he was going to be sent into exile? Even 80 strokes of the cane would kill him.
Is it possible that after being beaten to death, he would drag his body to feed the wolves?
"My Lord, I did as you said... Ugh!"
The man on the ground was so anxious that he blurted out such a sentence. He was afraid that the eldest prince's men would react quickly and cover his mouth in time, which was enough to arouse Kang Nan's vigilance.
But he didn't say much, but thought about it in his heart.
After a whole day of hard work, the Iron Cavalry finally managed to completely move away.
Why is it that a cunning rabbit has three burrows? Such a large army, in addition to the hiding place of Lao Bie Mountain, can also hide underground.
After Mu Chan came back, he saw the eldest prince sighing, and couldn't help but step forward and ask a few questions.
"Grand Prince, what's wrong with you? You're sighing all the time. Did something go wrong today?"
The eldest prince lowered his head, and his voice was a little muffled.
"That's right. I was worried that Kangnan might become suspicious and stage a show, but he got away with it."
Mu Chan didn't quite understand, but fortunately the eldest prince explained it in time.
"I see. It seems the Crown Prince needs to learn more about employing people. Of course, you should look for someone who values money as his life. And you should also consider in advance whether he will betray you in case of an emergency."
The eldest prince nodded, agreeing deeply. Now that things had happened, he also had a headache.
"Now that it has happened, I have tried my best to make amends. I just hope he won't doubt it."
Now Mu Chan was very curious. How did the eldest prince make up for it?
So the eldest prince patiently explained it, and after all the fuss, the eldest prince was quite smart.
After that man was suppressed, the eldest prince ordered the others to retreat, leaving only Kang Nan.
"General Kangnan, the people here are ignorant. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Kang Nan was completely confused at this time and had no idea what the eldest prince was going to do until the eldest prince began to hint at him.
"Ordinary people are too greedy for money, which is why they have brought such disaster upon themselves. The ministers in the court are the same. Unfortunately, if I want to make it to the end, my subordinates must use both kindness and force."
How could Kang Nan, a man with a long career in government, not understand this? A combination of kindness and force? Could it be that he had deliberately set up this situation to intimidate someone?
"Grand Prince, what do you mean?"
Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, the eldest prince smiled.
"General Kangnan, as the eldest son, I have my own advantages and benefits. You just said that I am the first prince to be crowned king, so I should be the first in the world in the future!"
Kang Nan instantly showed an expression of sudden realization, and immediately knelt on the ground to express his loyalty to the eldest prince.
"I see. It was my ignorance that prevented me from seeing the painstaking efforts of His Majesty Prince Yu."
This time he no longer called him "Prince" or "Your Highness", but cleverly called him "King Yu".
The eldest prince reached out and patted his shoulder, then left without saying anything.
Mu Chan couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"Well, Your Highness Prince Yu is really something. You can come up with such an idea at the critical moment. You made him mistakenly think that you were deliberately making things difficult for him and just wanted to make him your confidant. This move is really brilliant."
The eldest prince sighed. He didn't know if his trick would work. When Mu Chan praised him at this time, he always felt that the other party was teasing him.
"Mu Chan, please stop making fun of me. I don't even know if this method will work. Does he believe it?"
"Your Highness, rest assured. I absolutely believe in the influence. Now that the princes have grown up, it's time to fight for the throne. Many ministers in the court have already begun to take sides. Since this person is so ambitious, he must know a lot about these things. Now that you have done this, he is actually not on guard."
As soon as the second word "struggle for the throne" came out, the eldest prince's face changed with fear, and he hurried forward to cover Mu Chan's mouth.
"My Lord Mu, can you please understand what it means to be careful with your words and actions? You used to be very careful with your words, but now you speak so casually? Can you say that casually?"
Mu Chan didn't care at all, instead he smiled happily.
But since the arrival of the little Qilin, the gap between them and the royal family has really been reduced a lot.
In the past, his father and elder brother were only concerned with being loyal to the royal family. Whenever they encountered something, they always liked to confront it head-on and do it openly.
At that time, Mu Chan was always worried that one day the emperor would become suspicious, because with a tiger standing beside the king, their family would be in trouble.
However, now that Pudong Tailai has become popular, he feels much more at ease and speaks without any scruples.
Although the eldest prince appeared nervous on the surface, he was still very happy to see him being so open in front of him.
After Kang Nan returned, he thought about it and felt that the eldest prince had stayed here for such a long time, maybe he was really trying to win him over, so he was not afraid anymore.
"Come here, go to Hongye Tower and ask if there is anything better recently. Send it to the mansion immediately. This general needs to entertain the distinguished guests."
When the people below heard him say this, no one dared to ask any more questions. Didn't the general say not to do those things some time ago? Why did he change his mind now?
