In fact, Zhao Feng and the others can do a lot of business now, whether it is the Shen family's fabric business, Chen Rou's bookstore business, newspaper business, or Chen Man's own catering business, they can all run it. .
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu thought more deeply, that is, when other new businesses appear in the future, they can directly make a name for themselves without having to work hard to get those people to accept them.
Zhao Feng did not participate in these matters. After all, Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu were already very mature operators. He only needed to give them simple guidance.
After arranging things at home, Zhao Feng went directly to Zhou Kang's mansion.
When the wedding was held before, Zhao Feng could see that there seemed to be some sadness hidden in Zhou Kang's expression, but Zhou Rui only sent someone to deliver a gift and did not come over.
So Zhao Feng planned to come over and ask to see what happened.
Arriving at the living room of Zhou Kang's house, the servant poured tea for Zhao Feng and asked Zhao Feng to wait here for a while. Zhou Kang quickly walked over from the side.
Seeing Zhao Feng, Zhou Kang laughed instantly.
"Mr. Zhao, as a newlywed, you are not at home to spend time with your newlywed wife. How come you have time to come to my place?"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but waved his hand: "Your Highness, please stop joking. My wife is a workaholic just like my wife."
"Now two people are thinking about how to move my business to the capital!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kang said with some surprise.
"Really?"
"Mr. Zhao, if you move all your businesses to the capital, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money!"
Zhao Feng nodded. In fact, what those people said before were right. After all, the capital was the lifeblood of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was connected in all directions. Information from all over the world could be collected, and their goods could also travel to all corners of the world.
Otherwise, the Shen family would not have come directly to the capital after resuming business.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Feng asked Zhou Kang with some doubts.
"Your Highness, when I saw you attending my wedding banquet, your brows were furrowed, as if there was sadness between them."
"And the eldest prince didn't come to my house at that time. Did something happen?"
After hearing this, Zhou Kang sighed softly and said to Zhao Feng apologetically.
"Mr. Zhao, on your wedding day, I failed to control my emotions, and you found out."
"You are right. My eldest brother and I have been upset about something recently. It is because some ministers are always admonishing that it is time to establish a crown prince. However, the position of the East Palace is unresolved, so the battle for the crown prince's position has become It’s getting more serious.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng asked with some confusion.
"But His Majesty is still in good health today. Why are you in such a hurry to establish a crown prince?"
Zhou Kang shook his head, looked at Zhao Feng and said.
"Those people are drunkards who don't care about drinking."
"Once the crown prince is established, the other adult princes will be crowned kings!"
Zhao Feng immediately understood that those officials did not care about the candidate for the position of prince, but wanted to see who was not qualified to inherit the position of prince.
Because according to the usual way of handling this situation, if there is still no way to select a candidate to be the prince, the royal family will usually compromise and make several of its princes kings.
Although this will not affect the popular candidates competing for the crown prince, it will make it clear to the ministers who is not qualified to inherit the crown prince's position, and the battle will slowly become clearer.
You should know that Zhou Zhen, the current emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, has a total of 13 sons. Except for the third prince who is always in the army, the other princes are all in the capital.
The eldest Zhou Rui is already 22 this year, while the youngest is still in his infancy.
But each of these thirteen princes has a supporter!
Among them, those who support the second prince are the most, followed by those who support the fourth prince, and those who support the eldest prince Zhou Rui are the least.
Therefore, if several princes are crowned kings, the officials who support them will turn to support the other princes, which will make the battle clearer.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng sighed lightly.
"I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to solve!"
Zhou Kang nodded and said very seriously.
"This is just one of them. What's more important is that some officials want my eldest brother to be crowned king!"
"They even thought about the king's title. They want my eldest brother to be the king of happiness!"
Having said this, Zhou Kang gritted his teeth angrily.
"What King Anle is, doesn't he just want my eldest brother to voluntarily give up the position of prince?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng looked at Zhou Kang with some surprise.
"Your Highness, actually I have always been confused about something in my mind."
"Now that there are no outsiders here, I can just ask you, don't you have the desire for the throne in your heart?"
Zhou Kang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then turned his head, looked into Zhao Feng's eyes, and said very seriously.
"If I say no, you won't believe it, but I know that my eldest brother is more suitable to be the emperor than me!"
Zhao Feng looked at Zhou Kang with some surprise and couldn't help but ask.
"Why?"
Zhou Kang sighed softly.
"Mr. Zhao, in your opinion, what kind of person am I?"
Zhao Feng frowned slightly and spoke carefully.
"It is said both inside and outside the court that His Highness the Fourth Prince is an extremely intelligent and benevolent prince."
Zhou Kang nodded and said with a smile.
"Yes, I am compassionate. This is a nice way of saying it. But if it's not a nice way to say it, doesn't it mean that I have a cowardly character?"
Zhao Feng was a little embarrassed. In fact, everyone inside and outside the court knew that the fourth prince Zhou Kang was a very kind person.
If these princes were allowed to leave the palace together and there were beggars on the road, they would immediately ask the fourth prince Zhou Kang for alms.
Zhou Kang shook his head and continued.
"I know things about my own character, and that's why those guys support me."
"But what the Zhou Dynasty needs now is not a benevolent monarch, but a decisive and decisive king who can turn the muddy water of the Zhou Dynasty into crystal clear!"
"Regardless of the situation inside and outside, if it were me, I might only be able to keep the Zhou Dynasty safe and secure, but if it were my eldest brother, he would definitely be able to sweep both the inside and outside and clear out the government and the opposition!"
Zhao Feng suddenly looked at Zhou Kang in shock and asked with great suspicion.
"I didn't expect that His Highness could give such a high evaluation to the First Prince?"
Zhou Kang nodded vigorously.
