Chapter 618： It's impossible not to go

Chapter 618: I can’t go without going

King Qi glared at Xiao Yu, "I am the only legitimate son like you!"

“I have spent so much effort to cultivate you carefully since childhood.”

“If you enter Beijing, will I still dare to make a move?”

Xiao Yu smiled at King Qi and said, "My father is very affectionate, and my son is very pleased."

 King Qi kicked him, "Don't be so glib. Tell me, what should I do?"

Xiao Yu's eyes fell on the edict on the table, "What else can I do? If I don't arrive in the capital by the time limit, I'm afraid Zhu Yiwei will come to pick him up."

“How can your father watch his son being kidnapped by Zhu Yiwei?”

King Qi slapped the table, "If that's the case, I'll really rebel!"

Xiao Yu shook his head, "Father, you must not risk the disapproval of the world."

“Isn’t it just a matter of going to Beijing as a pledge? I’ll just go.”

King Qi had nothing to do, and he couldn't really rebel now. He walked around behind the desk and said, "Damn it, Xiao Shuo. He doesn't even think about rescuing the disaster and appeasing the refugees. He knows how to torment these ministers all day long. What's going on?" Misplaced!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Father, you must calm down. This drought has been going on for two years. This is the third year. King Dai and King Jin have not received any taxes for two years, let alone this year. I'm afraid Not even a penny of taxes can be collected, and their life is difficult. The emperor is not only unsympathetic, but also issued an edict to reprimand them. Who knows how long they can endure it. "

King Qi narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, "My son is right."

After he finished speaking, he sighed again, "You are going to the capital. If your mother and concubine find out, I don't know what will happen. Alas, it will be a headache."

Xiao Yu cupped his hands and said, "Father, don't worry, I will comfort my mother and concubine."

King Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

“Go and tell your mother-in-law properly.”

Xiao Yu exited, walked slowly, and returned to his yard first.

Gu Fei was waiting for him, and she hadn't finished speaking just now.

Xiao Yu came in, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he grabbed her hand, "There is bad news."

“The emperor issued an edict, saying that we, the royal children, are arrogant and extravagant, and let the princes of the vassal princes from all over the country come to the capital to study.”

Gu Fei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Reading?"

“Is it because I’m asking you to come to Beijing as a pledge?”

Xiao Yujun showed a wry smile and nodded, "If you follow me, you will suffer again."

Gu Fei shook his head. No wonder all the vassal kings rebelled against him in the last years of the British Dynasty. This emperor was too arrogant in his actions.

Although in other dynasties, there were cases where the son of a vassal prince came to the capital as a hostage, but to make it look good, they would give people an official position in the capital, which was nominally allowing you to come to the capital to be an official.

Now this emperor not only refuses to grant him an official position, but even reprimands him for being such a coward. At least he can give him some face so that everyone can step down.

Besides, there is no reason for all the princes and princes to come to the capital. This clearly means that I don't trust you princes. I am afraid that you will rebel. I will use your sons as hostages.

Who can feel happy about this!

Xiao Yu took her hand and said, "Go to the concubine and have dinner with her. You have to talk to her about this matter."

As the two held hands and went out, Gu Fei suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where is Dugu Yin?"

Xiao Yu said casually: "The mother-in-law arranged a courtyard for her to live in."

"I'm afraid she will have to live in the house for a few more years. After she has become a filial piety, we will find a family for her."

Gu Fei nodded and said nothing.

The two of them entered the princess's house. The princess came in when she saw her son and daughter-in-law holding hands. She smiled and said, "You're just in time, the food has just been passed around."
