Needless to say, His Highness King Qiong still told Yang Xuan and Mr. Lu about this matter.
The two of them had similar reactions to his, and they were all numb at the time.
The previous news was that the emperor was critically ill. Why did the emperor come to Shaozhou in a blink of an eye?
The most important thing is, will he come to Qiongzhou?
This burden is too heavy and they cannot bear it.
But when the emperor said he wanted to come, they couldn't refuse. They couldn't say that it was too chaotic outside and the palace was also chaotic, so you should just go back to where you came from.
The two looked at each other. Since the matter was a foregone conclusion, they should quickly find a solution.
"How long will it take for the city wall to be completed?"
Mr. Lu replied: "It will take half a month to complete."
"Assemble all the workers to build the city wall. We have to catch up on the progress. It's only four or five days' journey from Shaozhou. We strive to complete it within ten days."
Mr. Lu nodded: "There is no problem with this matter, but the emperor is here, where should the emperor be arranged?"
Yang Xuan and His Royal Highness Prince Qiong looked at each other: "Besides Prince Qiong's Mansion, where else is there any other suitable place?"
"But this Prince Qiong's Mansion..." Mr. Lu shook his head: "It's too shabby, and there are many family members in the mansion."
Yang Xuan said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Prince Qiong's Mansion is located in a remote place and the surrounding area is empty. We only need to build a few more watchtowers to prevent anyone from sneaking in. As for His Highness's family members, we can only feel aggrieved and find another place to live.
.”
After this problem was solved, Mr. Lu raised a new question: "As for Qiu Zhizhou and Commander Xue, the news cannot be leaked to them yet. They are with us at the moment, but it is too big for the emperor to come in person.
, it’s hard to guarantee that no one will be tempted.”
"Yes, yes, this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential. The fewer people who know about it, the better." Yang Xuan said, "The guards of the palace also need to be strengthened. This can be selected from those brought by Dong Tianbao."
Mr. Lu nodded: "This matter can be left to Mr. Yang's eldest brother Yang Xiao to take full responsibility. The emperor is here in person and there should be guards around him."
Yang Xuan slapped the armrest of the chair: "I said that when Lu Jingliang came with so many people, I thought he was afraid of death. It turns out that this kid came to beat the front station. This kid is very good at pretending to be stupid. I was deceived by him at the time.
Already."
This discussion lasted until late at night.
Among them, the most discussed question was why the emperor appeared in Shaozhou, thousands of miles away, and why he came to Qiongzhou.
The court situation was already in chaos. If the princes, vassals, etc. found that the emperor was missing, they would not be able to raise an army and rebel.
"Tell me, why did my father leave the palace?"
His Royal Highness King Qiong frowned. Usually it was a big event for the emperor to leave the palace, let alone this situation.
The pot of tea brewed earlier was already bland and tasteless. Mr. Lu poured out the tea leaves, washed them, replaced them with tea leaves, and brewed another pot of tea.
The three of them were silent and looked at him. After he made the tea and poured tea into the three cups, His Highness King Qiong said: "Is it because the palace is too dangerous, so Father
Did you find an opportunity to leave the palace to take measures?"
Mr. Lu immediately shook his head: "The situation should not be so critical yet. I guess the main reason why the emperor left the palace is to solve the current situation. After all, the prince controls the government. If the emperor makes a move in the palace, the prince is desperate.
, is very likely to take risks."
His Royal Highness King Qiong suddenly realized: "What Mr. Lu said is reasonable. If my father is in the palace, if the prince is cornered, it may threaten his safety."
Yang Xuan also nodded: "What Mr. Lu said is probably true, but the matter should be more than that simple. Otherwise, it would be enough for the emperor to leave the palace. Why come so far to Shaozhou, and also come to Qiongzhou?
A lonely place."
The two looked at Yang Xuan: "Then Mr. Yang thinks..."
"There must be reasons that we don't know about." Yang Xuan pondered for a while and said: "Do you think it is possible that the emperor's move will break the situation not only in the palace?"
"Not just in the palace?" His Royal Highness King Qiong murmured to himself, with doubts on his face.
Mr. Lu also frowned in thought, but soon he showed a surprised look: "Mr. Yang, you mean that the emperor wants to solve all problems at once?"
"Is the Emperor fishing?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.
What kind of fish is fishing?
The emperor's initial idea was to let the prince succeed to the throne, but the prince suddenly turned against him, exposed his true nature, and even put the emperor under house arrest. Given the emperor's character, he naturally gave up the idea of the prince succeeding to the throne.
Since the emperor wants to change the heir, he needs to go through some tests to see the level of the other princes, and at the same time clean up the court.
For example, Qi Party, Chu Party, Zhejiang Party; such as King Yan and King Ning.
Because if the new emperor ascends the throne, these guys will inevitably make some changes. If the new emperor cannot suppress these people, the Dasheng Dynasty will fall apart.
As for why the emperor wanted to come to Qiongzhou, he clearly wanted to give King Qiong a platform and give him a chance to seize the throne.
After listening to the two people's analysis, His Royal Highness King Qiong pointed at his nose: "Father, you actually intend for me to succeed to the throne?"
The two of them nodded, and Yang Xuan said: "The emperor is fishing, isn't it to catch out all these guys who may cause trouble? The emperor is missing, how can they not cause trouble?"
His Royal Highness King Qiong sighed: "I didn't expect that my father could do so much for me. I really deserve to be a son of a human being."
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes: "The Emperor is not sure that it is you yet. Besides, if you have that ability, the Emperor doesn't have to do it so thrillingly. Besides, the Emperor is for prosperity, not just for you.
"
Mr. Lu drank the last cup of tea with a slurp: "Mr. Yang's analysis, although it is not right, it is not far off."
What Yang Xuan was thinking in his heart was that the emperor, this old yinbi, must have thought this way, to clear all obstacles for the new emperor so that he could ascend the throne.
He is the most averse to turbulent situations. After all, his business will be easy to do only if the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
…
The next day, Lu Jingliang went to visit Qiu Jun and Xue Xian. When they saw him, they were surprised at first, but soon turned to warm reception, because Lu Jingliang said that he came to Qiongzhou to inspect and wanted to visit Qiongzhou Island.
Make some investments.
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes at the side, what the hell did you invest in? This guy is clearly here to attract firepower, so that others will think that the guards of Qiongzhou Mansion suddenly became nervous because of his arrival.
After all, he was on the front line, and that's what he did. He didn't dare to let the emperor come unless he understood the situation clearly.
Qiu Jun and Xue Xian took Lu Jingliang around Qiongzhou Mansion very politely.
Pointing to the three large communities in the south, he told Lu Jingliang that they were the Workers' New Village, which was built only after His Royal Highness Prince Qiong came. All the people living in them were hard-working workers.
He then pointed to the street where the government office was originally located and told Lu Jingliang that there were not even ten shops on this street before, but now there are all kinds of shops.
There are also newly reclaimed rice fields, which were proposed by Yang Xuan to return to farming. They are now lush and green. The tropical climate here can achieve three crops a year. Soon, Qiongzhou Prefecture will not only be self-sufficient in food.
, and can even be exported to make a profit.
Finally, Lu Jingliang came to the military camp. The soldiers in the military camp were undergoing daily training, singing military songs and kicking goose steps. They were vigorous and full of morale.
