The question of whether to add pearls to the king soon spread to the capital. Many storytellers kept up with current events and told stories about Prince Gajju from the previous dynasty.
Some storytellers spoke in favor of the former prince Jiazhu, exaggerating the incident. At the same time, they also boasted about the achievements of the acting king, and finally strongly supported the acting king Jiazhu.
Of course, some storytellers did not support the acting king Jiazhu, blaming Prince Jiazhu for the demise of the previous dynasty. They also said that Prince Jiazhu was a provocation to the prince and coveted the crown prince of a country.
The people listened with gusto. Some people think that because he has made great military exploits on behalf of the king, he should be rewarded and given this honor. Some people believe that although the acting king has made many contributions, this is his responsibility and obligation as a prince.
The people also started to argue about whether or not to add pearls to the king.
Not only that, people in the palace are also quietly discussing this matter.
For a time, this matter caused a stir.
In the imperial study, Emperor Zhou Wu was not surprised after hearing Sun Kui's report.
"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, there are more people who support Jiazhu on behalf of the king." Sun Kui continued to report, "They all feel that the king on behalf of him has made great military exploits and deserves to be Jiazhu."
Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up the tea cup, opened the tea lid, and gently rubbed the rim of the cup with the tea lid, "What else?"
"He also said that the prince had not made any military exploits for the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Emperor Wu of Zhou lowered his head to drink tea and accidentally drank the tea leaves into his mouth. He spat it out in disgust and said, "It's really boring."
Sun Kui didn't understand what Emperor Zhou Wu said and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, where is the boredom?"
"Do you think they are really arguing about adding beads?" Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his lips and sneered, "Changing the soup without changing the medicine, you think it's all boring?"
Sun Kui was a smart man and instantly understood what Emperor Zhou Wu meant.
"Then Your Majesty, do you want to stop these rumors?"
Emperor Zhou Wu said with a half-smile but not a smile: "If you don't stop me, I want to see how they will quarrel next."
"Yes." Sun Kui thought secretly in his heart. The ministers were trying their best to decide whether to add beads on behalf of the king, but the emperor regarded this matter as a joke.
Seeing that Emperor Zhou Wu was about to review the memorial, Sun Kui quietly withdrew. As soon as he went out, he saw the little eunuch from last night coming to him with a worried look on his face.
The young eunuch bowed respectfully to Sun Kui first, and then said with a tearful face: "Eunuch Sun, ancestor Lingyun hasn't come back yet." Ancestor Lingyun has not come back since he flew out last night. He originally thought that Lingyun Ancestor would fly back this morning, but he didn't see it flying back until now. "Eunuch Sun, what should we do?"
"Ling Yun will fly back after playing outside, so don't worry."
"However, if the emperor wants to tease Ling Yun, but finds that Ling Yun is gone, then this servant will be the one to blame." The little eunuch looked like he was about to cry. He looked at Sun Kui pitifully, "Eunuch Sun, Please save this slave."
"Our family told you not to worry, so don't worry." Sun Kui comforted the young eunuch, "The emperor won't blame you if he knows that Ling Yun has flown away."
"Really?"
"Really." Sun Kui saw the little eunuch's eyes were red and waved to him, "Just wait for Ling Yunfei to come back with peace of mind."
"Thank you, Eunuch Sun." After thanking the young eunuch, he returned to the side hall and waited at the door for Lingyun's ancestor to fly back.
Ling Yun, who was worried about the little eunuch, was eating snacks leisurely in Kunde Hall.
Liang Zhaoyi not only prepared snacks for Ling Yun, but also prepared some fresh meat, apples and water.
Ling Yun was very satisfied with Liang Zhaoyi's preparation, but he did not let Liang Zhaoyi touch it, let alone take off the letter from his lap.
Except for Emperor Wu of Zhou and Zhao Yao, Ling Yun did not allow anyone else to touch it, not even Liang Zhaoyi.
After Ling Yun had a full meal, he squatted on Zhao Yao's desk, dozing off while basking in the sun, waiting for Zhao Yao to finish school.
At noon, the princes in Wende Hall left school on time.
As soon as the front-legged gentleman left, Zhao Yao, the hind-legged one, ran out in a gust of wind.
Tongxi saw his highness running out in a hurry again, and hurriedly greeted him. Without Zhao Yao's instructions, he hugged him and ran out.
By the time the fourth prince walked out of the door of Wende Palace, Zhao Yao's figure had long disappeared.
"Your Highness, what happened to His Majesty Tenth? I saw him running out in a hurry just now?" The person who spoke was the fourth prince's personal eunuch, Wei Mian.
"It's okay." The fourth prince chuckled in his heart. The tenth brother was afraid that the ninth brother would pester him after school and continued to show off the second brother's affairs. "let's go."
The eighth prince and the ninth prince walked behind the fourth prince. The Ninth Prince grabbed the Eighth Prince and continued to talk about his brother's great achievements, and also said that his brother should add beads.
After walking out of the door of Wende Hall, the ninth prince "reluctantly" let go of the eighth prince.
The eighth prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He finally understood why the tenth brother was so afraid of Zhao Xun showing off his victory on behalf of the king.
"Your Highness, Your Highness asked your servant to tell you that he is going back first." Yu Hai said, "He also said that you have worked hard."
The eighth prince smiled helplessly and asked Yu Hai: "What happened to the previous king Jiazhu in the morning?"
Yu Hai lowered his voice and reported to the Eighth Prince: "It was the ministers of the Prince's Party who proposed to give the Prince a bead. He said that the Prince had great military achievements and should be given a bead. However, the Prince's party did not agree..." Yu Hai told what happened in the morning. He told the Eighth Prince everything about it.
What happened in the court this morning has long been spread in the palace, and Yu Hai can find out with a little inquiry.
"Prince Jiazhu?" the eighth prince sneered, "I wonder if it was Marquis Xuanping's idea or my heroic second brother's idea?"
"Your Highness, do you think the Emperor will agree?"
"My father's thoughts are unfathomable. I don't know if he will agree. However," at this point, the eighth prince smiled meaningfully, "I hope my father will agree. This way, when we become adults, we can be crowned kings." Maybe I can add beads too.”
On the other side, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh princes were also talking to their mother and concubine about adding beads on behalf of the king.
The third prince and the others naturally wanted Emperor Wu of Zhou to agree to add beads on behalf of the king. On the one hand, the acting king Jiazhu will intensify the competition between him and the prince, which is a good thing for them. On the other hand, when they grow up, they can also be Princes of Gajru.
The matter of adding pearls to the king, apart from being detrimental to the prince, is also a good thing for the other princes.
In the Kunde Hall, Zhao Yao did not discuss the issue of Jiazhu on behalf of the king with Liang Zhaoyi. As soon as he came back, he went to find Ling Yun and couldn't wait to take his second uncle's reply letter from Ling Yun's lap.
Zhao Yao's second uncle said in the letter that his uncle's stay in Qingzhou was going well. He had already found a restaurant and was preparing to buy it. When things in the restaurant are settled, my uncle will write to him.
The second uncle also mentioned another thing in the letter, saying that his grandfather would soon be transferred to Guangling County in Yangzhou to be the county magistrate.
"What did your second uncle write?" Liang Zhaoyi walked in and asked.
"Second uncle said that uncle's stay in Qingzhou was going well." Zhao Yao handed the letter in his hand to Liang Zhaoyi, "Concubine, look at it."
Liang Zhaoyi reached out and took the letter. After reading it, she frowned slightly and said, "Dad is going to be transferred to Yangzhou?"
"The chaos in Yangzhou has not yet been quelled, so how could my grandfather be transferred to Yangzhou?" Zhao Yao also felt strange in his heart, "Did the transfer order of my grandfather come from my father, or from my grandfather?"
"It shouldn't be an order from your father. After all, your grandfather is just a small county magistrate." Liang Zhaoyi guessed, "It should be a normal exchange." Officials of the same level in the Great Zhou Dynasty would exchange each other and go to the other party's place of employment. .
"The rebellion in Yangzhou has not yet been quelled. It would be dangerous for my grandfather to take up a post in Guangling County, Yangzhou at this time."
"Your great-grandfather has some business dealings in Yangzhou and has some friends. They will help your grandfather." Liang Zhaoyi is not very worried about her father's safety. "Besides, the chaos in Yangzhou should be settled soon. Your grandfather They'll be fine."
"Well, everything will be fine in Yangzhou soon." He didn't know why he had a feeling that the war in Yangzhou would not be settled soon.
