The grass must be eradicated

Xie Chenke laughed out loud.

"Then you wait a moment, the second brother goes to find the father and comes out later to treat you to a drink."

"good"

Xie Chenyu looked expectant.

As soon as Xie Chenke left, Xie Chenyu's expression changed instantly. He stood upright, his eyes were serious, and there was a strong look of disappointment in his eyes, but also a cold glimmer of success.

He has been able to see into people's hearts for too long, and he understands the meaning of darkness under the lamp.

Since the queen chooses the second brother.

Then his only way out is to follow his second brother and become his most trusted person.

——

When Xie Chenke came back, Xie Chenyu was picking his nails out of boredom.

"Let's go"

"Second brother, are you done?" Xie Chenyu was surprised.

"Yes, my father has approved it. Let's go. My brother invites you to Zuixian Tower. Isn't it your favorite?"

The brothers walked away shoulder to shoulder.

Zuixian Tower is still lively.

Unlike the displaced people outside the city who were sallow and skinny, everyone here had rosy complexions, and some even had bulging bellies, like women who were ten months pregnant.

After arriving at the Tianzihao room on the third floor, it finally calmed down.

Xie Chenke ordered a table of dishes and called four or five little girls who sang songs to play the pipa and listen to music.

"They are all the most famous signature dishes. Brother knows you like to drink the wine here."

He considerately filled his brother's wine glass: "This is drinking, it's impossible without good food."

Xie Chenyu drank happily and laughed heartlessly: "Second brother still loves me."

"When my second brother becomes the prince, I will have someone to rely on."

After all, Xie Chenyu is considered to be the queen's caregiver. Although she is not named, she is closer to her after all.

If Xie Chenke becomes the prince, for the sake of the queen, she cannot treat her brother badly.

What's more, he is just a dandy with no ambition and only knows about romance.

"That's natural, but my second brother has something to say before me."

Xie Chenke suddenly became serious.

"My mother-in-law died after giving birth to only me. I have no biological brothers. You know the position in the East Palace. He is supreme and is admired by others, but also jealous by others."

"I need people to be loyal enough to me."

"If there is a stumbling block, I will definitely eliminate it without leaving any further trouble, even if it is a blood brother."

The meaning is very clear.

He will clear away the stumbling blocks around him at all costs.

Xie Chenyu was stunned, and the hand holding the wine glass froze in place, as if he was frightened.

It took him a while to laugh.

"Don't worry, second brother. Anyone who blocks the way of second brother must first pass through me."

"If nothing else, brother, I have learned a good skill in archery, and I am not a vegetarian."

"That's good"

Xie Chenke suddenly laughed, as if nothing happened just now.

"Come, have a drink and eat. The chefs here come from all over the country and are all famous chefs. Every dish is freshly cooked."

Xie Chenyu then drank the glass of wine with confidence.

Pretending to be casual, he looked out the window. Just like yesterday, there were still hungry people gathered there, and they were still guarded by officers and soldiers.

They couldn't be put into the city.

Every gate in the capital was heavily guarded, and occasionally one or two who entered would be questioned in every possible way, wishing they had asked eight generations of their ancestors before they were allowed to pass.

Occasionally, carriages leave the city.

Hungry people would immediately gather around to try their luck.

It's a pity that not everyone is like Xie Chenyu, who is willing to abandon the nursing home and take the initiative to talk to them in a carriage.

A child as lucky as the rescued baby never appeared again.

Too many people still resign themselves to fate and fend for themselves.

"This group of victims has been surrounding the city gate for several days. They are as annoying as flies. When can I get rid of them?"

"Do you think the second brother doesn't want to?"

Xie Chenke was also very annoyed and took a sip of wine.

"There are so many simple ways. Kill them all, burn them all, starve them to death, die of illness. You can't think of anything you can't do."

"It's a pity that they can't be used. Those beggars are very valuable. They can't be beaten or scolded. They have to give money and food to comfort them."

"Second brother, why don't we just give it to them? What's the point of letting them gather around here?"

Xie Chenyu is "naive" and has an attitude of "why not eat minced meat".

Sure enough, Xie Chenke laughed: "Sixth brother, you are too naive, do you think the Dasheng Dynasty is still as powerful as before?"

"If we had money, this matter would be much easier to handle. The difficulty lies in the fact that the national treasury is seriously in short supply. There is no money and no food, Father."

His brows knitted into knots.

Twenty-two years after his father ascended the throne, he finally exhausted the wealth accumulated by his grandfather.

The prosperous dynasty was nothing more than an empty show, and the gold and jade were ruined on the outside.

All that's left is the empty shelves of the past that can be used occasionally to support face.

"What should we do?"

"Let's find a way to do it." Xie Chenke picked up a piece of seabass and ate it.

The plump bass had tender meat, few spines, and was steamed until it was tender and tender. He took another sip of wine and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

"But fortunately, those victims are not much better than stray dogs. Just feed them as long as they can survive. If you can't drive them away, then kill some of them on the spot."

"If we delay it for a while and get some epidemics, won't it be enough to make more people die and earn more money?"

Xie Chenke was so satisfied that he said this casually.

Xie Chenyu's hands hidden in his sleeves had already been clenched into fists.

Haha, what a great idea.

——

After returning from the house, Xie Chenyu was in a bad mood and stayed alone in the study for a long time without going out.

It was getting dark, and there was a faint noise outside the door.

Xie Chenyu frowned: "What's going on? Who dares to come to the study to make trouble?"

Zhao Hai rolled in, sweating profusely and feeling aggrieved.

"Back to Your Highness, it's Song Liangdi from Bibo Garden. She...she said that Your Highness has had a hard day at work and she wants to deliver soup."

Song Liangdi, Song Liangdi from the north.

He secretly clenched his fists and still called in.

Xie Chenyu had returned to normal when Song Liangdi came in. She was wearing a homely cotton silk robe and sitting at the small kang table, drinking for herself. Two plates of exquisite side dishes were delicious and tempting.

"I knew His Highness was tired."

Song Liangdi smiled gently and virtuously, and came in to put the soup cup on the table.

"Drinking too much is harmful to your health, so Your Highness should drink some black-bone chicken soup. I made it myself. It has been cooked for two hours and the fragrance is fragrant."

Xie Chenyu glanced at her.

"Last night was my impulsive act, you don't need to take it to heart."

"Ms. Lin has always been well-behaved and sensible. If she is sick due to high fever, I cannot ignore her. Please go and see her when you have time."

"What did your Highness say?"

Song Liangdi looked generous.

"I am a noble lady, how can I care too much about a little concubine? Don't worry, I will go over to see my sister when I turn around."
