Since King Wu returned to Chang'an, he has been staying in the palace. Queen Zhou has arranged everything inside and outside the palace. If he said he had any temporary arrangements, Queen Zhou would not believe it.
Of course, it is not ruled out that King Wu has arranged everything in advance, but based on Queen Zhou's understanding of King Wu, he does not seem to be someone who can do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself...
"Who is behind everything?"
What is certain is that everything done by the servants in Prince Wu's palace was not without purpose. The court was now in chaos. Ten people were randomly picked out and questioned. They were absolutely determined to get this bastard Prince Wu out of Chang'an.
.
The Li Tang Empire was founded on commerce. It can be said that everyone from street vendors to court officials attached great importance to the interests of their own shops. However, King Wu was eyeing the lucrative drug store business. They had such a violent reaction.
Within reason.
"But Queen Mother, the reaction of the courtiers is becoming more and more intense. If we suppress it forcefully, there may be something wrong..."
In the Manna Hall, the prince sighed softly, his face becoming increasingly gray.
Although His Majesty was ill and ordered the Crown Prince to supervise the country, the courtiers knew what was going on behind the scenes. In terms of direct descendants and elders, if Empress Zhou hadn't been killed halfway, the position of Lord of the East Palace should actually have been King Wu.
Yes, it's a pity that King Wu's mother was forced to die, and Queen Zhou's power became more and more powerful, so he took advantage of this.
In terms of ability, he was far behind the King of Wu. As a merchant alone, the King of Wu could do very impressive things. You can imagine his methods.
"Why is the prince so flustered? After all, the medicine shop is a small matter. How can those courtiers still force the palace? For these days, they can't stand what King Wu is doing. After a while, they will naturally become quiet. In comparison,
Next, I care more about who is planning this..."
Through the mouth of the courtiers, the unreasonable matter of King Wu's return to the capital was brought to the court with ulterior motives!
After all, the Li Tang Empire had always stipulated that the adult princes and princesses must leave the capital to go to their respective fiefdoms. Except for the two sons of Queen Zhou and the underage princes and princesses, the rest have basically left Chang'an. Now only
King Du Wu was an exception, and the courtiers were naturally unhappy.
What's wrong with the nobles of the Tian family? These rules were set by your ancestors. Even if you are a prince, you must abide by them even if you are the emperor!
"What the Queen Mother means is..."
"We will wait and see what happens. In addition, please inform King Wu and ask him to come forward to suppress this matter. If the servants in his house refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, I would not mind giving them some discipline."
"yes."
The prince nodded and left the Manna Hall with a hint of bitterness.
Ask yourself, Li Chengxu is obviously the prince, but he is a little afraid of his royal brother, King Wu. He doesn't know why, but just looking at King Wu's eyes, he feels as if his underwear has been seen through, which makes him very uncomfortable.
.
But it was his mother's order after all, so the prince did not delay and went to the Yuanshui Palace where King Wu temporarily resided.
As soon as he entered the door, a strong strong wind blew in his face. The eunuch beside the prince quickly took action and stopped a Cuju that was only a few inches away from the prince's face.
"Bold! The prince is here! Who dares to make a mistake!"
"Xiao Anzi, go down, the emperor is just playing Cuju, why are you so nervous?"
The prince's face was pale, and there was sweat on his forehead, but he still forced a smile and waved his hand.
Then, the King of Wu noticed the prince and quickly made a courteous salute and said: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the prince is here, and I am not far away to greet him."
"Brother, you are just joking. We are all family members, so there is no need to be polite."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the etiquette cannot be abolished. I don't have to care about it, but the people outside are staring at the Prince right now, so you can't care less about it."
"This... what King Wu said is reasonable, but he was negligent."
The prince nodded, and his aura changed instantly. Although he was still a little guilty, he still looked a bit like an emperor.
"King Wu, how many years has it been since you last seen me?"
"It's been nine years."
"Has it been nine years..."
Hearing this, the prince sighed deeply.
Back then, when King Wu's mother and queen were alive, it could be said that she was loved by three thousand people, and King Wu naturally became the most powerful prince. As early as that time, the Li and Tang Empire had not yet established a queen, and when there was no East Palace,
Everyone felt that King Wu and his mother were the masters of the Harem and the East Palace.
After all, at that time, the Li Tang Empire was not as worried about internal and external troubles as it is now. The demonic way had only just penetrated and had no rights. At that time, Concubine Zhou and Li Chengxu could only rely on others.
It was at that time that the current prince Li Chengxu was running behind King Wu all day long. From that time on, a huge psychological shadow deeply enveloped Li Chengxu.
No matter what he studies or does, he will never be as good as Li Chengren. Although the two brothers are very close to each other, it seems that there is a natural chasm called talent between them, which is constantly eroding Li Chengxu's little self-esteem.
This situation did not improve until the Queen Mother of Wu passed away, Concubine Zhou became the queen, and he naturally took the position in the East Palace. However, by that time, the twelve-year-old King Wu had already left Chang'an with Li Yuechan.
So today, when the two brothers reunited after a long separation, Li Chengxu suddenly discovered that he was still the little follower who followed Li Chengren back then. Just a look from King Wu would make him so nervous that his body would tremble.
"King Wu, you don't seem to have changed much after all these years."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed a lot and is now more sharp."
"King Wu doesn't like Gu's change?"
"It's not about whether you like it or not. Now you have become the prince. It is reasonable to have such a change. Rather, I am very happy. The follower back then has grown up without knowing it. I'm sorry, I'm rude.
Please punish me, Prince."
"It doesn't matter."
The prince shook his head, put Cuju under his feet, and said with a smile: "It's rare for King Wu to be so elegant, why not play a game with King Wu alone?"
"His Royal Highness is willing to show favor, which is naturally very good."
So King Wu lost, completely.
After all, the prince has master-level cultivation. Every time he volleys, Cuju is like a cannonball blasting towards King Wu. Just stopping Cuju has already left King Wu covered with bruises. How can he fight back?
"Your Highness is indeed very capable."
"I have taken advantage of the realm and can do countless things."
"The level of your realm is also a matter of personal ability. How can you take advantage of it? Your Highness, I have also played Cuju. I'm afraid it's not that simple for you to come today, right?"
Putting away the tattered Cuju, King Wu slumped down on the bench. The severe pain in his body made him a little unsteady, so he could only sit down.
"I came here today to do something." This chapter has been completed!
