In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the imperial edict came.
Yu Zhi looked at the writing and jade seal mark on it and sneered.
Jiang Qing explained: "Your Majesty intends to promote you to six levels in a row. This has never happened in Chu for thousands of years. It is normal for the ministers to object. The position of Zuo Deputy Governor has been vacant for a long time, and many people are watching. I had this position, but now it’s been taken away by you.”
Yu Zhi turned around and glanced at Shang Fang's sword again. There was only one so-called Shang Fang's sword. Seeing it was like seeing the Emperor of Chu, with the power to kill first and then kill.
It is common for the imperial censor of the capital to carry a sword and hunt on behalf of the sky. However, Yu Zhi is the youngest person in the past who holds Shangfang's sword.
"There must be many people who are dissatisfied with the fact that you have taken the position of Zuo Vice-Captain at such a young age. Some trouble will soon come to your doorstep." Jiang Qing reminded, but there was also a sense of fun in the show in his voice.
Yu Zhi glanced at Jiang Qing, picked up Shang Fang's sword and said with a smile: "I heard that Shang Fang's sword can kill first and then show off. Mr. Jiang, what will happen if I kill all those who are causing trouble for me?"
Jiang Qing shuddered, and the scene of heads falling to the ground suddenly appeared in his mind.
He thought about it carefully and nodded secretly in his heart - this boy can really do it.
"Master Jiang, don't be nervous, I was just joking." Yu Zhi said with a smile. "I am the most kind person."
Jiang Qing warned: "This is Kyoto, not the north where you can do whatever you want. If you get into big trouble, even the teacher can't save you."
Yu Zhi responded, and then he asked again: "Is this really what Li Xiuyuan said in court?"
Jiang Qing nodded and asked curiously: "What grudge do you have with Prime Minister Li that makes him target you like this? If it's a trivial matter, I can resolve the grudge between you and Prime Minister Li. If it doesn't work, there is still a teacher. Prime Minister Li will always give you some help. What a respect for the teacher."
The guilt mentioned by Li Xiuyuan was still not included in the imperial edict.
Xiao Yuande needed Yu Zhi's sword, so naturally he couldn't let the "sword" go away in anger.
Yu Zhi smiled inexplicably, waved his hand and said: "There is no grudge. In a while, Prime Minister Li and I will become a son-in-law. This time, I will just treat him as an old man and forgive him for once."
Jiang Qing was confused when he heard this. What is the relationship between a father-in-law and a son-in-law? Li Chuchen is the crown prince who is destined to be the prince. Do you still want to steal your wife from the prince?
Before Jiang Qing could speak, Yu Zhi held the Shang Fang sword in his hand and walked towards the outside of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The imperial edict did not say when Yu Zhi would set off south, so Yu Zhi was not in a hurry.
The bandits in Nanzhou Prefecture had been causing trouble for several months, so he was allowed to continue causing trouble.
Passing by Baiweiju, Yu Zhi stopped and glanced at the plaque of Baiweiju.
Li Qingru said that this is an industry under Jiang Xiyue's name.
After Yu Zhi found out, he could no longer be interested in eating. He is a scoundrel and cunning, but he also has a bit of backbone. This is not much strength, but it is enough for him to hold back his appetite.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is childish, but this is also the atmosphere Yu Zhi is expressing himself.
Baiweiju is already full of guests. The chaos two days ago did not make the business worse, but actually made it better.
The conversation at the dinner table changed from the fire at Youquan Villa to the chaos two days ago, and the mysterious Princess Chu.
Yu Zhi just wanted to walk away, but saw someone blocking him.
"Brother Yu, long time no see." Xiao Jinghong continued to act like his idle prince and knew all about Kyoto's delicacies.
Yu Zhi looked at Xiao Jinghong and remembered that Xiao Jinghong had given him an oiran in Yihong Mansion. The oiran seemed to be named Zixun.
"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yu Zhi saluted.
Until now, Yu Zhiren didn't know whether Xiao Jinghong was an enemy or a friend. If it were an enemy, it would be far more terrifying than someone like Xiang Jinghao.
Xiao Jinghong said with a smile: "Brother Yu, why are you so outspoken? I, the idle prince, do not have such a noble status. Just be more casual between you and me."
Yu Zhi smiled and said nothing, and then listened to Xiao Jinghong continue: "Brother Yu, why don't we go in and have a drink together? In this hot season, Baiweiju's iced sour plum juice is particularly good at relieving the heat."
Yu Zhi shook his head and said to Xiao Jinghong: "Your Majesty, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Saying that, Yu Zhi walked around Xiao Jinghong and walked away.
Jamel Xiao shook his fan and looked at Yu Zhi's back with a faint smile in his eyes. He was always like this, always smiling and making people feel like spring breeze. But also because he often smiles like this, this smile always gives people a feeling of hypocrisy.
"Your Highness, Yu Zhi is going to Nanzhou Mansion in the near future. There is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den there, and he may not be able to come back," Meng Duanzhang said.
Xiao Jinghong said with a smile: "According to Jing Hao's temperament, Yu Zhi will definitely die in Nanzhou."
Meng Duanzhang also smiled. "The Crown Prince of Chu acted too arrogantly. I guess the fire in Youquan Villa was also the handiwork of the Crown Prince of Chu. Murder and arson are not counted, and Fu Taining was asked to take Yu Zhi back to Kyoto. It was too deliberate."
Jamel Xiao laughed and shook the fan gently in his hand. "Han Yang is still investigating. It is estimated that Fu Taining will not survive, and Han Yang will soon find Jing Hao. Haha, what a stupid guy. What Yu Zhi said is right, Jing Hao just has a good father. .”
Meng Duanzhang didn't answer, thinking in his mind that this was what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince complained about about Prince Zhao.
He has been with Xiao Jinghong for many years. If King Zhao is like King Chu, Xiao Jinghong in front of him will definitely make great achievements in the court.
"Sir, let's continue drinking."
...
...
As Yu Zhi walked, he thought about today's imperial edict.
This imperial edict is Xiao Yuande's sincerity. He gave Yu Zhi the power to kill first and then report later, and handed over everything in Nanzhou Mansion to Yu Zhi, allowing Yu Zhi to stir up trouble in Nanzhou Mansion.
But neither the official position of Zuo Fudu, nor Shang Fang's sword was Yu Zhi's talisman, but instead his life-threatening talisman.
The only one who can protect Yu Zhi is Yu Zhi himself.
Walking to the door of Qiu Mansion, Yu Zhi saw an acquaintance - Jiang Xiyue.
Yu Zhishu turned a blind eye and walked straight past Jiang Xiyue and entered the Qiu Mansion. There was resentment and doubt in his heart, but the resentment eventually overshadowed the doubt, making him choose to ignore Jiang Xiyue.
"Yu Zhi!" Jiang Xiyue shouted towards Yu Zhi's back.
But her shouts didn't make Yu Zhi stop.
Yesterday, her invitation was rejected by Qiu Ruoruo. I just sent it to Qiu Mansion today, and it must have the same result.
Jiang Xiyue didn't understand why Qiu Ruoruo, who was right in her eyes, or Yu Zhi, who felt friendly when they first met, "turned against each other" in just a few days.
Qiu Ruoruo happened to walk out of the house, holding Jiang Xiyue's greeting card in her hand.
Qiu Ruoruo stretched out her hand to stop Jiang Xiyue and said coldly: "Princess, please stop."
"Ruoruo, it was Hao'er who was impulsive and reckless in Baiweiju. I apologize to Yu Zhi on behalf of Hao'er." Jiang Xiyue said sincerely. During the past two nights, what appeared in her dreams was the lonely figure of Yu Zhi when she left Baiweiju.
When I met Yu Zhi once, she always felt cordial and happy. But in just two days, she felt heartbroken.
Qiu Ruoruo handed over the greeting card and said, "You saw it, he doesn't want to see you."
Jiang Xiyue said: "This is all a misunderstanding. I think Hao'er..."
"Is there a misunderstanding?" Qiu Ruoruo's eyes were like two ice holes, "Princess, you might as well recall carefully what you did to your child nineteen years ago! Dao Tongtong does not want to meddle. Whether it is you or the King of Chu Your Majesty, none of us can reach such heights. Please don’t come here again, Princess."
After saying that, Qiu Ruoruo walked towards the mansion.
And Jiang Xiyue was thinking about Qiu Ruoruo's words, nineteen years ago...that was a very distant time, and it was also a sadness that she didn't want to recall.
"Madam..." the slave said with concern.
Jiang Xiyue was confused, but also learned the key from Qiu Ruoruo's words.
Nineteen years ago, my child... was that my dead child?
"Little slave, go back."
...
"Brother Xiaoyu, I want to go too!" Yu Lan hugged Yu Zhi's arm and said coquettishly.
When Yu Zhi said he was going to Nanzhou Prefecture, Yu Lan wanted to sign up. And Yu Lan was immediately severely rejected by Yu Zhi.
"This trip is dangerous. You little girl will stay in Kyoto to take care of your mother-in-law." Yu Zhi said.
Grandpa was right, His Majesty still sent Brother Xiaoyu to Nanzhou... Qiu Ruoruo also said: "Brother Xiaoyu, what are your plans for this trip?"
Yu Zhi said: "Ruoruo, you are not allowed to follow me. I am enough for this trip."
"Okay." Qiu Ruoruo rarely objected. "However, you can bring Wang Dafu with you. This man is smart and may be able to help you in Nanzhou official circles."
Yu Zhi thought about it for a while, this unlucky old Wang... "I'll think about it."
"Brother Xiaoyu... I really want to go to Nanzhou, just take me with you!" Yu Lan said sweetly.
Yu Zhi warned impatiently: "Shut up. If you keep talking, I will send you back to Beiliang Mansion."
Ning Huan suggested in a reasonable manner: "Lanlan, if you want to go to Nanzhou Mansion, I can..."
"Get out!" Yu Lan vented his anger on Ning Huan.
The innocent Ning Huan looked confused, not knowing what happened.
As for the so-called preparation, Yu Zhi would naturally not break into Nanzhou Mansion like a stupid man.
Now, he knows his life is precious. This life is not only his, but also the hope of Li Haomiao who fled thousands of miles from the north and brought him back to Nanzhou. It is also the flame that Li Qingru worked hard to preserve.
"Tong'er, you will live in Qiu Mansion and stay with Ruoruo and Yu Lan. You won't be bored."
Li Wantong also wanted to follow Yu Zhi to Nanzhou Mansion, but she knew that there was nothing she could do to help.
Lao Huang also echoed: "Miss, this boy is more comfortable on his own. Complete the task earlier and return to Kyoto to marry you earlier. If you are worried that this boy will be seduced by a woman from Nanzhou Prefecture, why don't you go south before he goes south? The marriage is settled. I, Lao Huang, was the first to agree."
"I, Yu Lan, was the second one to agree." Yu Lan was the first to join in the fun because he couldn't do anything.
"I, Qiu Ruoruo, am the third one to agree!" Qiu Ruoruo raised her hand and shouted.
Ning Huan raised her hand weakly and said weakly: "My fourth..."
Li Wantong saw the crowd making noise and was not shy. He looked at Yu Zhi and said, "Yu Zhi, let's get married!"
