When the Third Prince arrived at the Hundred Flowers Festival, he naturally saw the daughters of these merchants.

It turns out that this so-called Hundred Flower Festival is not for viewing flowers at all, but for viewing beautiful flowers.

Although the Third Prince felt that he was selling his body before, after attending this meeting and meeting these beauties, he felt that it was nothing.

In fact, this is also because after these merchants become rich, they naturally want to marry some beautiful women.

The children born to these beautiful women will naturally improve their appearance gradually.

Moreover, now these merchants want their daughters to marry into the families of officials, so naturally they choose those beautiful daughters.

Therefore, when the Third Prince saw so many beauties, he felt comforted.

The Prime Minister was accompanying him, and was originally worried that the Third Prince would lose his temper and that he would need to persuade him properly.

The third prince, who had never expected to see these beauties, could not even walk.

The third prince was very proud at this time. Although he was not in the capital, so what? He was still living a happy life and even these beauties took the initiative to throw themselves into his arms.

When the merchants saw the Third Prince's expression, they knew something was going to happen.

After a while, they all found excuses to leave, leaving time for the Third Prince and these beauties. Since everyone had outstanding looks, the Third Prince naturally considered their family background. After all, at this time, only those who could help him were the most valuable.

None of the merchants who could participate in the Hundred Flowers Fair would be eligible, but the Third Prince still chose the daughters of the families with the highest rankings.

All in all, the Third Prince was very satisfied with this Hundred Flowers Beauty Pageant.

Because the Third Prince had made the choice, the merchants behind these women also began to strongly support the Third Prince and gave him large amounts of gold and silver.

The third prince also used these gold and silver to raise his own army.

Now the third prince and the prime minister are making intensive preparations.

The previous nursery rhyme is just the first step.

Just to build up public opinion first.

This preparation will take some time, and the Prime Minister calculated that the time should be about right.

What they had envisioned before was to spread this nursery rhyme to as many places as possible.

Maybe these ordinary people are not aware of these nursery rhymes for a while, but they can subtly make them feel that their lives are so hard now because the emperor has angered God.

"Something bad has happened!" However, on this day, a man dressed as a guard rushed in front of the prime minister.

At this time, the prime minister was discussing the migration of troops with the third prince.

Being interrupted suddenly, both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's the rush? What happened?"

The third prince asked somewhat displeased.

The guard who came to report knelt on the ground and said, "There are songs posted on the city wall outside. I took a closer look and found that it was the nursery rhyme you asked us to spread before. It was hung on the city wall. It also said that if anyone hums it, they will be guilty of conspiracy to rebel!"

When these words were spoken, the Prime Minister and the Third Prince were shocked. They both felt a little scared, thinking that they were exposed.

"Do you have a wanted portrait?" the Prime Minister asked hurriedly.

The guard shook his head and said, "There is no wanted portrait, but the nursery rhyme is no longer circulated in the city."

The Prime Minister and the Third Prince frowned slightly.

If this nursery rhyme doesn't spread, then using other means will only make it more conspicuous.

"It's just a few nursery rhymes, how could they be discovered so quickly?" The third prince said with some doubt.

"It seems that the reaction speed of the capital is faster than we thought. Now that the nursery rhyme has been exposed, I'm afraid they will soon follow the clues to investigate..."

As the prime minister spoke, he paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

"Since we will find out here sooner or later, we need to move the troops as soon as possible. Let's go south. There are mostly deep mountains and old forests over there. There must be some places suitable for Tibetans..."

Although the prime minister was looking at the third prince when he spoke, the third prince could also hear the unquestionable tone in the prime minister's voice.

In the face of such sudden changes, the Third Prince did not insist on making the decision, but listened obediently to the Prime Minister.

Even if the third prince wanted to travel light.

But before that, in order to win over merchants for marriage, he picked four concubines.

I definitely can't just leave like this in vain.

If he left without taking these new beauties with him, it would be ok if he said the timing was abnormal because the time was short, but I'm afraid these merchants would be able to figure out something fishy.

By then, the nutritional supply may be cut off.

So even if the third prince wanted to escape, he had to pretend that he was planning to travel.

With his four concubines, his pace was naturally not fast.

In desperation, the Third Prince had to let the Prime Minister go ahead and at least take the troops to find a place to hide.

As for the third prince, he and his concubines dressed up as wealthy businessmen and went sightseeing every day.

It's quite pleasant.

In comparison, the third prince arrived about ten days later than the prime minister and his men.

And these ten days are enough for some people to do something.

The people sent by Zhao Ji had already traced back to the place where the third prince and his men had been.

But now the building is already empty.

But Zhao Ji didn't take it to heart. After all, if these two people were so easy to catch, there wouldn't have been a loophole that allowed them to escape.

"If you can't catch him then, just patrol the south. It just so happens that some of the officials on the man's side are dishonest. If you encounter any problems, I will allow you to execute them first and report later..."

Zhao Ji had said these words to several officials who were investigating matters in the south. With the support of the Regent, these officials were naturally more decisive in their actions.

Having these county governors and city lords cooperate along the way has indeed improved efficiency a lot.

Of course, they have also encountered some short-sighted officials. If they encounter such people, the inspection team sent from the capital will be in big trouble.

I've heard before that this kind of inspection team also found a lot of things when passing through the suburbs of Beijing.

A riot was almost prevented at that time.

So over time, the official positions in these inspection teams have become the most enviable positions.

Because after that meritorious service, the late emperor had given these people special privileges.

But most of them are monetary rewards.

After the court session, Zhao Ji pulled at his cloak, feeling that it was unnecessary in this weather.

But there were many people in the palace who wanted to give gifts, so Zhao Ji had no choice but to get himself an outfit like this and wear it to show off in the streets, just to tell those who wanted to give gifts: "I have everything I need now..."
