Chapter 593: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 14
Prince Rong continued, "Brother, I've been thinking that if I were to find someone to help my father, I couldn't just kill them and send their souls to my father. That would be too cruel. So I've come up with a better solution."
The emperor thought to himself, the solution you found is to find a group of monks to chant scriptures?
Prince Rong continued, "So I think it would be a good idea to find some powerful monks to go to the imperial mausoleum and help my father.
Emperor: I knew it would be like this.
But after all, he can be the emperor. He listened to this nonsense reason without any change on his face.
After listening, he took a sip of tea and asked slowly:
"What if these monks have saved my father and the previous emperor?
You also said that they have great magical powers and they do not distinguish between friend and foe when they are trying to liberate the souls of the dead, let alone when they are doing it in our imperial mausoleum.
By then, it’s not certain whether the emperors of the previous dynasty will be safe or not, but I’m afraid that none of our ancestors will be able to escape.
If the house is taken over by someone else, won’t the ancestors inside suffer as a result?”
Prince Rong thought about it carefully, scratched his head, and felt that what the emperor said made sense.
He sat down at the table below, picked up the teacup, took a big sip of tea, and began to think hard.
The emperor didn't say anything, just sat there waiting to see what other ideas his younger brother could come up with.
After a while, Prince Rong suddenly straightened up, his eyes shining.
"Royal brother, why don't we just send the monks to the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty to perform a ritual.
This way I don't have to worry about whether my father and the others are in danger.
Then, we can just let our father and ancestors hide in our imperial mausoleum and not come out."
The more Prince Rong thought about it, the better the idea seemed to him. He was simply a genius.
He originally just wanted to find something for the big monks to do so as not to delay his ghost sister from coming out.
As for what to do specifically, he doesn't care at all.
And he felt that he was not completely fooling around.
If the ghost sister could really tell him what the hard currency of the ghost world is, he could bring more good things to his father and ancestors after he dies.
Thinking of this, Prince Rong showed a happy expression on his face.
The emperor looked at his brother who couldn't hide his true feelings on his face, and not only the corners of his mouth, but even the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.
This younger brother was truly born to enjoy a life of luxury.
Back then, before the fight for the throne, not only he coveted this position, but his other brothers also had their eyes on it.
It was extremely dangerous at that time.
If the princes cannot seize the throne into their own hands, everyone in their respective palaces will have no good days after others ascend the throne.
At that time, Prince Rong was still a child. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day. He knew nothing and naturally avoided the fights between brothers.
At that time, no matter who ascended the throne, as long as he did not commit suicide, he would be established as a model of brotherly love and respect.
Now, the emperor works himself to the bone like a dog every day, while Prince Rong has become the most honorable prince.
In the royal family, apart from the emperor, Prince Rong has the most respected status.
Even the Crown Prince is often inferior to Prince Rong because of their seniority.
Prince Rong only needs to think about having fun every day. If anyone makes him unhappy, he can vent his anger on his brother, the emperor.
As long as it is not excessive, the emperor will agree to his request.
Fortunately, this younger brother is just a child at heart, and he really can't do anything illegal or criminal if you ask him to do it.
The emperor thought about it and felt that asking monks to perform rituals at the imperial tombs of the previous dynasty was not a big deal.
Besides, the throne has only been passed down to the third generation in their family, and some remnants of the previous dynasty still come out from time to time to cause trouble for the court.
Performing a few rituals could also appease the remnants of the previous dynasty and stop them from causing trouble under the banner of revenge.
It can also allow the people to see the magnanimity of the current court. In short, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
As for why Prince Rong wanted to do this, the emperor was too lazy to even ask. He didn't want to hear any more weird reasons.
He had experienced this kind of thing many times before.
So the emperor said: “It is all right to perform a ritual, but we cannot use the money from the national treasury, we can only use the money from the smuggling treasury.
You also know that the emperor’s private treasury is so poor that he can even run horses.
If you can afford the cost of the ritual, I will agree to this immediately."
The ritual can be performed, but the emperor does not want to pay this money in vain. After all, the emperor has no surplus food.
When it came to paying money, Prince Rong became embarrassed.
He also wanted to keep the silver and prepare some more to take with him after finding out the hard currency in the ghost world. He felt it was a waste to spend the silver on such a place now.
Another quarter of an hour later, Prince Rong seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and looked at the emperor with bright eyes. The emperor felt that his eyes were a little dazzling today.
Prince Rong excitedly said, "Brother, I have an idea. Just wait, I'll find a way to deal with this money."
My Royal Brother, once I have the silver ready, how about we send the monks from Pu'an Temple off immediately?"
The emperor leaned back on the dragon throne, nodded, and said, "As long as there is silver, I will immediately issue an imperial decree."
After receiving a positive answer, Prince Rong happily bowed and took his leave.
The Emperor sat on the dragon throne, playing with the handles on his wrist. After watching Prince Rong leave, he casually whispered to the void:
"Go and see where Prince Rong got the silver, and then find out why Prince Rong wanted the monks from Pu'an Temple to leave Pu'an Temple."
A "yes" came from the void, and then the room fell silent again.
Although the emperor didn't want to listen to Prince Rong's nonsense, he was also afraid that Prince Rong was being guided by someone.
Can anyone visit the imperial mausoleum?
What if the feng shui is destroyed?
The imperial mausoleum is guarded by soldiers all year round. No one can enter without the emperor's approval.
Maybe someone took advantage of Prince Rong and asked him to come and make demands.
Another thing is that although Prince Rong has always shown that he has no interest in the throne, he is still a simple and playful person who does whatever he wants.
The emperor also secretly asked people to pay attention to Prince Rong's movements, but who knows if he was showing these for others to see.
So, no matter what the reason is, he has to be on guard!
After all, this is the emperor's suspicion. Even when facing his younger brother who has never posed any threat, he dare not let his guard down.
At the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Zheng Yunxi has been very distressed recently.
Every night when she went to practice, she had to take great pains to find the most secluded place in the mansion.
Every day is like guerrilla warfare, you have to move to another place after each shot.
This was mainly because of Prince Rong, who often went to Marquis Xuanping's mansion at night to look for his ghost sister.
If he couldn't find Zheng Yunxi, he would go down to the lake and circle around among the lotus flowers.
