"Heart..."

Jiang Xiangyang couldn't continue after just saying one word.

Xing Yuanzheng couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, couldn't he even deal with him?

It's ridiculous that he is still thinking about how to remind him surrounded by the emperor's guards, but it seems that it is not necessary now.

"What did you want to ask when you came to me this time?"

Xing Yuanzheng didn't want to mention this sad thing again, so he asked directly.

Seeing that he did not continue the topic, Jiang Xiangyang also breathed a sigh of relief and turned the topic back to the right track.

"I mainly want to know why the emperor suddenly called me back to Capital City."

"I don't know the specific reason. It's just that Crown Prince hasn't been seen in public recently, and the emperor is also very distressed that Fourth Prince has been busy opening a store and doing business in Capital City recently. For a prince to actually go into business, it seems a little unprofessional.

And Fifth Prince has been imprisoned in the prince's residence for committing a crime some time ago. Judging from the emperor's intention, it seems that he is preparing to be imprisoned for life."

Xing Yuanzheng replied that his words were well explained.

After receiving this news, Jiang Xiangyang began to think about it.

He has great confidence in Xing Yuanzheng and feels that it is impossible for him to betray him, so what he said must be true.

Crown Prince has been away from home for a long time, which coincides with the news that he is seriously ill.

While Fourth Prince is doing business, Fifth Prince is also useless.

Second Prince was addicted to monasticism in his early years and followed a Daoist Master to travel around the world.

Third Prince is doing nothing, indulging in wine pools and meat forests all day long.

The remaining princes are too young.

No matter how you look at it, they are not the right candidates to entrust Imperial Throne!

Therefore, when Jiang Yunsheng asked him to come to Beijing this time, it was most likely that he was entrusted with Imperial Throne!

Jiang Xiangyang showed a smile. It seemed that the dragon robe he had prepared in private would be put to use soon.

"Okay, Yuan Zheng, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly when I come... after that!"

Jiang Xiangyang patted Xing Yuanzheng on the shoulder and drew a big pie for him.

Xing Yuanzheng twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a somewhat sarcastic smile, but Jiang Xiangyang, who was immersed in fantasy, did not notice it.

Next, Jiang Xiangyang asked some questions about Capital City, and Xing Yuanzheng answered them half-truthfully.

After the conversation, Jiang Xiangyang left. After he left for a while, Imperial Palace's imperial guards came and took Xing Yuanzheng away.

In addition to Xing Yuanzheng, Jiang Xiangyang asked several of his deeply buried secret sources to ask those questions, and the answers they got were pretty much the same.

This allowed Jiang Xiangyang to put down his last suspicion. He couldn't have had so many hidden clues dug up!

Jiang Xiangyang, who had not rested for several days, returned to the other courtyard and had a good rest. In the afternoon of the next day, he took Concubine Prince Xin and Heir Apparent to the Imperial Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Palace, he heard the eunuch saying to him:

"Your Highness Prince Xin, Empress Empress said that she has not seen Concubine Prince Xin for a long time, and she would like to invite Concubine Prince Xin and Heir Apparent to go to her place for a chat."

Jiang Xiangyang nodded, and then went to Hall of Diligent Governance alone.

When he arrived at the door of Hall of Diligent Governance, the eunuch announced and he walked in.

Then he saw Jiang Yunsheng sitting at his desk reviewing memorials.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Jiang Xiangyang saluted and greeted.

"The emperor's brother is exempt from the gift. Judging from the emperor's situation, it seems that he has been living quite well in the past few years?"

Jiang Yunsheng joked that the two of them seemed to be good brothers who had not seen each other for many years, but in fact they had their own secrets.

"Brother Huang is joking. It's just that Ba-Shu is no better than Capital City after all. Capital City's feng shui nourishes people! Looking at Brother Huang's current state, it's no different from when he left Capital City!"

Jiang Xiangyang sighed with emotion.

"Then the emperor brother will stay at Capital City from now on and don't go back to the fiefdom, how about that?"

Jiang Yunsheng suddenly said this.

Jiang Xiangyang was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately. He couldn't figure out whether this was Jiang Yunsheng's test or what it meant.

"Brother Emperor, what does this mean?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply asked directly.

Jiang Yunsheng smiled, which made Jiang Xiangyang's heart tremble.

"I just want to ask, does the emperor think Capital City is easier to treat or Ba-Shu?"

Jiang Xiangyang was silent for a moment and said:

"Although Capital City is easy to treat, the emperor is already used to being at Ba-Shu."

Worried that this was a trap set by Jiang Yunsheng for him, Jiang Xiangyang said this.

"But I think the emperor should think that Capital City should be treated better. After all, there are so many acquaintances of the emperor in Capital City. Even after he went to the fiefdom, he still remembered him and wrote letters to him from time to time."

Jiang Yunsheng dropped a bomb directly.

"Brother Imperial, you have misunderstood!"

Jiang Xiangyang choked and didn't know how to answer.

"Oh? Is it a misunderstanding? Then please explain to me, the emperor brother, why you have such close contact with me Right Commander-in-Chief Xing Yuanzheng?"

Jiang Yunsheng knocked on the table and said calmly.

Xing Yuanzheng! Was their meeting last night discovered? Or did Xing Yuanzheng betray him?

Thinking of all the things that were wrong with Xing Yuanzheng last night, Jiang Xiangyang felt that this possibility was very high.

He panicked.

"Brother Emperor, when I was in the capital, I became a good friend with Mr.

At this time, Jiang Xiangyang was very fortunate that there was no special conversation in their letters, most of them were greetings, and the really important news could only be understood by them.

"Oh? Is that so? What about the others? Emperor brother, how are you going to explain?"

As he said that, Jiang Yunsheng clapped his hands, and people came out one after another from behind the screen. The leader was none other than Xing Yuanzheng.

Jiang Xiangyang took a closer look at those people and found that they were all his hidden connections in Capital City. After counting them carefully, there were actually many of them.

"You actually betrayed me?"

Jiang Xiangyang looked at Xing Yuanzheng and said in disbelief.

"No, that's not right, even you can't possibly know so many hidden clues about me!"

Soon, Jiang Xiangyang overturned his guess.

Seeing Jiang Yunsheng call out so many people, Jiang Xiangyang was heartbroken. Although he didn't know what kind of method Jiang Yunsheng used, but he could find out so many hidden clues, and it was useless to refute him.

"Your Majesty, your brother is really beyond my expectation! I am obviously far away in Ba-Shu, but in this Capital City, your shadow is everywhere, which really surprises me!"

Jiang Yunsheng sighed with emotion.

"Oh, so what, I haven't found you yet. Tell me, do you want to deal with me like this?"

Now that Jiang Yunsheng already knew it, he didn't bother to pretend, he walked directly to a stool aside and sat down, just looking at Jiang Yunsheng.
