Ever since Yaoguang Yue returned from worshipping ancestors at the Temple of Heaven, common people have been spreading the story that Yaoguang Yue is the reincarnation of an auspicious sign.
For a time, this became the topic of discussion among the people after dinner, and there was even a storyteller who made a rhyme about this incident.
Those who were cured of their illnesses naturally set up longevity tablets at home.
At the same time, the second prince and the third prince also heard about this while they were far away in the disaster area, and they couldn't help but feel happy.
"Second brother, I have to admit that our father is truly powerful. Right now, when the common people in the mortal world mention our little sister, their faces are filled with admiration."
The second prince smiled. At this moment, he was writing a letter, hoping to send it back to the palace as soon as possible to seek the emperor's help.
"Father's methods are indeed brilliant, and we must not fall behind. Now that the disaster area has stabilized, I am preparing to write a letter, asking Father to bring my younger sister to the disaster area to reassure the people."
The third prince was still a little confused. What was the point of coming to the disaster area at this time?
"Things in the disaster area have stabilized, the disaster has passed, the epidemic has been suppressed, and the price of herbal medicine has returned to normal. If I come here again at this time, it will not only increase the danger, but also be of no use!"
After hearing his confusion, the second prince shook his head and said that he needed to look at the matter from another angle.
"Third brother, if this epidemic spreads without restriction, what do you think will happen to us?"
The third prince stroked his chin, thought for a while, and then said it tentatively.
"The people will be killed and injured, they will be dissatisfied with the court, and perhaps rebellion will occur. There will be problems in the market, the treasury will be empty, and other countries will take advantage of the situation!"
After he relied on himself to push step by step to the critical point, he immediately frowned. Now he understood what his second brother meant.
"Second brother, do you mean that many countries may be watching us right now?"
The second prince nodded, finished writing the letter in his hand, simply dried it, stuffed it into the envelope and sealed it.
"Indeed, and I suspect someone is watching us right now. Previously, you sent troops to besiege Wanhe Mountain. Although there were no casualties, the news eventually got out. I wonder if you have noticed that there are fewer people from the underworld in this city recently."
The third prince felt a little depressed when he thought about this matter.
These people in the martial arts world only valued the so-called brotherhood of the martial arts world. They did send people to surround Wanhe Mountain, but they did nothing and even helped them rescue their mountain master.
As a result, those gangsters didn't distinguish right from wrong and beat their own caravan half to death.
Of course, he also knew that Wen Xiuting was involved in this, but if it weren't for those gangsters who acted without knowing right from wrong, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
"They are just a bunch of Jianghu people. Do we need to be so afraid of them? I am getting angry when I mention these Jianghu people."
"Some time ago, news came in from various merchant caravans that they were all robbed for no reason by a group of jianghu people. They weren't looking for money or to kill people, but simply to cause trouble for me. All of those merchants have suffered losses."
The second prince couldn't help but sigh at this time. It was he who asked his third brother to do this matter. Now that there has been a loss, he cannot escape the blame.
"This matter was not considered carefully by my second brother at the beginning, and now it has implicated you."
The three brothers used to dislike each other because of the fight for the throne, but now that they have a common enemy, they have become united against the enemy, and the third prince looks even more carefree.
"That's fine. I have many merchants under my name. If you want to rely on these caravans to make me lose money, you can dream on!"
"That's true, but they are all just people from the Jianghu. They will all disperse in a short time. What I am worried about is the Chixiao Kingdom."
The secret infiltration into Tangxi City some time ago was indeed a wake-up call for the two brothers.
Especially after Tang Xicheng left, he quickly got rid of the people they sent to follow him, which made the two brothers even more uneasy.
"The Chixiao Kingdom is indeed the most likely to attack us. Second brother, aren't you afraid that those people from the Jianghu will move into the Chixiao Kingdom in search of peace?"
The second prince nodded. This was exactly what he was worried about. Those people from the martial arts world were nothing when the dynasty was stable.
But if it happens during wartime, these people, each with their own unique skills, can suddenly appear and assassinate enemy generals, which is enough to cause headaches for a while.
"There are many talented people in the martial arts world. If a war breaks out in the future, it's easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it's hard to find good generals. If they are assassinated by this group of martial arts people again, then one or two of them will be a loss to the court."
"You're calm and composed, and meticulous on the battlefield, but when it comes to governing a country, you're not as good as my second brother. You always say my second brother is just seeking fame and reputation, and is good at winning over scholars and intellectuals, but you don't realize that such people can play a greater role at critical moments."
In the past, if the Second Prince had said this, he would have been retorted by the Third Prince.
But today he had to listen, because what the second prince said was indeed something he had never thought of, but it was also something he had experienced before.
"Second brother is right. This king is convinced!"
When the Third Prince said this, his tone was full of dissatisfaction, but the Second Prince knew that he did not interrupt him, but listened patiently and responded, which was enough to prove that he had listened.
"Actually, Second Brother did this for your own good. You were always looked down upon by the ministers in the court because of your merchant status, so you joined the army to save face. Second Brother knows that you were once assassinated by people from the underworld while in the army."
The third prince had not expected this. When he heard him say this, his eyes widened immediately.
"How do you know this? Even the Emperor didn't know about this at the time."
The second prince smiled, and there was a hint of pampering on his face.
"You're just being stubborn and refusing to say anything, aren't you? Besides, you were wary of me and my brother back then, weren't you?"
The third prince scratched his head and turned away without daring to say anything. At that time, he was indeed strong-willed and was indeed on guard against his two brothers.
But at that time, he really didn't think that his two brothers would do something bad to him. He was just worried that they would laugh at him.
"You knew about this, so why didn't you send someone to hunt me down when I rushed back to Beijing overnight? And I even met a miracle doctor on the way who gave me a life-saving medicine. Could it be you who did this?"
The second prince smiled when he heard this. He really wanted to take the credit, but he shook his head.
"I don't know anything about the miracle doctor. I just sent some people along the way to help you cut off the enemy's pursuit. As for the miracle doctor, it might have been done by my eldest brother."
At this time, the two brothers did not notice that while they were saying this, they had gradually changed their self-references to you and me.
