At this time, the coachman next to him continued to speak to Hou Fangyu.
"You are from Jiangnan. You don't know how good the Crown Prince is. It's not surprising. After all, the image of His Royal Highness in the newspapers in Jiangnan is not very positive. Those scholar-bureaucrats and dog officials, because His Royal Highness touched
For their own interests, they will try their best to discredit His Highness the Crown Prince!"
As he spoke, the coachman's tone was filled with resentment.
Upon hearing the coachman's words, Hou Fangyu flashed a wry smile in his eyes.
In fact, he is the one with vested interests, but to be honest, he is pretty good and has never attacked His Royal Highness, although he also feels that some of His Highness's policies are inappropriate.
But he felt that there was a high probability that this was not the idea of His Highness the Crown Prince, but that there must be a treacherous minister around the Crown Prince!
When he came to Qingzhou this time, he wanted to see the corrupt official with his own eyes, wanted the prince to be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, and wanted to try to persuade the prince.
But right now, I haven't even met His Highness the Crown Prince yet, and I am almost convinced by the carriage driver in front of me...
For a moment, Hou Fangyu's expression was a little complicated.
He didn't know what to say!
Outside the window, everyone on the road was smiling, and the coachman was still chattering about the good things about His Royal Highness. They drove for a long time.
The carriage was not slow at all, and it took only half a day to reach Qingzhou Prefecture from Dengzhou Prefecture.
"Guest, where are you going? I might as well send you there directly!"
After entering the city, the carriage driver spoke enthusiastically to Hou Fangyu.
Hou Fangyu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the carriage driver in front of him and said, "Then please take me to the Prince's Mansion!"
"Prince's Mansion???"
Hearing Hou Fangyu's words, the carriage driver was slightly stunned. He glanced inside the carriage in surprise.
"It seems that the guest is also a person of status!"
"What's your identity?"
Hou Fangyu had a wry smile on his face and said to the coachman in front of him.
"Haha! People without status don't dare to go to the Prince's Mansion! Moreover, the distinguished guest has a bookish attitude, and at first glance he is a talented scholar with a wealth of knowledge!"
The carriage driver smiled and said to Hou Fangyu.
With that said, he drove slowly and started walking down the street.
"Dear guest, the Prince's Mansion has arrived!"
After the two chatted for a while, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a mansion.
"The one in front is the Prince's Mansion. Because the area in front of the Prince's Mansion is a bit narrow, His Royal Highness has stipulated that you cannot go down the alley in front!"
The coachman looked at Hou Fangyu in front of him with a trace of apology in his eyes and said.
"This is the Prince's Mansion????"
Hou Fangyu looked at the coachman in front of him with an unbelievable look in his eyes.
"yes!"
The carriage driver smiled, looked at Hou Fangyu in front of him, and said with emotion in his eyes: "His Royal Highness is really an immortal king. In fact, he has always had money under his command. If he wants to build a
No one would object to the relatively luxurious Prince's Mansion.
I even think that His Highness the Crown Prince should do this, but no matter how the ministers or the people try to persuade him, His Highness the Crown Prince just refuses!"
As he spoke, the carriage driver had a wry smile in his eyes. After sighing slightly, the carriage driver showed a sigh in his eyes. He looked at Hou Fangyu in front of him and said, "Even the Huangming Zhicheng University has been built far away.
The prince's mansion is so gorgeous that it is not even as good as the mansions of ordinary rich families!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that he does not want to build a mansion for himself. Firstly, it will waste people and money. Secondly, the Ming Dynasty is still in the most dangerous time. He must work hard to reunify China as soon as possible. Living in such a house is to return to China as soon as possible.
Forbidden City!”
After saying peace, the coachman showed emotion in his eyes.
Hou Fangyu on the side had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
If we talk about this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks quite like His Majesty!
Your Majesty also has such a character!
Just in terms of ability, His Royal Highness is far superior to His Majesty!
Of course, Hou Fangyu only dared to think about this kind of thing in his mind and did not dare to say it out loud, even if it was true!
"Thank you very much!"
Hou Fangyu got out of the carriage and paid the carriage driver one tael of silver.
The coachman weighed the small scale he carried with him and found that it was indeed one tael of silver!
A smile finally appeared on the coachman's face.
"Guests don't need to say thank you, I should thank you! If you see His Royal Highness, kowtow for me more! Thank you!"
"good!"
Hou Fangyu nodded, and the coachman left quickly.
Pressing the coachman's back, Hou Fangyu's eyes flashed with emotion.
He turned around and walked towards the Prince's Mansion on the side.
"Who??"
As soon as Hou Fangyu reached the door of the Prince's Mansion, he was discovered by the guard at the door.
Several guards had stern expressions in their eyes, glaring at Hou Fangyu who was standing aside.
"Everyone is in Xiahou Fangyu. My father is Hou Xun, the former Minister of War. I would like to see His Highness the Crown Prince! Please let me know!"
With sincerity in his eyes, Hou Fangyu spoke to the surrounding guards.
After hearing Hou Fangyu's words, several guards around him looked at each other.
The son of the former Minister of War, with this status... To be honest, he has reached the threshold to be able to ask for an audience with His Highness the Crown Prince!
"Hou Fangyu, right? Do you have proof of identity?"
The guard looked calmly and asked Hou Fangyu in front of him.
There was a hint of hesitation in Hou Fangyu's eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Hou Fangyu took out a seal from his body.
"This is a seal that my father often used before..."
Of course, Hou Fangyu had some considerations about proving his identity, because his father, Hou Xun, liked to use this seal before he was imprisoned, so Hou Fangyu took out this seal.
The guard took the seal from Hou Fangyu.
"Wait here!"
The guard said casually to Hou Fangyu in front of him.
"Yes! Sir!"
Hou Fangyu stood there with a respectful look on his face.
Soon, the guard quickly walked into the mansion and came to the study.
Zhu Cixiang was discussing government affairs with Taoyao.
"Your Highness! A man named Hou Fangyu, who claims to be the son of Hou Xun, the former Minister of War, is asking to see you outside the mansion! This is the token he gave to prove his identity!"
The guard respectfully handed the seal to Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"Former Minister of War?"
When Taoyao heard the guard's words, she was slightly stunned, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
"Hou Xun? The Minister of War who stood still and watched the fall of Kaifeng?"
Zhu Cixiang's eyes were dull, and he glanced at the seal in the guard's hand.
