Who took away my wealth

The fat emperor smiled happily and wiped the mist from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves wrapped in gold thread.

"God's blessing, God's blessing indeed! Doctor Guo, can you please prescribe two decoctions to strengthen the prince's health, so that he doesn't go back again?"

Gu Yu's face was covered with black lines.

Doctor Guo was sweating on his forehead.

It was indeed the first time for him to encounter such a situation. He couldn't explain it, so he used "Tian En" to block it. As for why the prince was awake, no one could explain.

Doctor Guo didn't dare to give a guarantee, so he could only bow his hands in fear: "I can only give it a try."

The emperor waved his hand to let everyone go down, and looked at Gu Yu with a smile, who looked horrified.

"Father...you..."

"Prince."

The emperor's tone was kind and his face was kind.

Such a tone made Gu Yu a little scared.

"Prince, I know more or less what you have been through over the years, and I don't want you to hang out with those dandy boys, but every time you cry and make trouble to follow, and make jokes if you don't let me go. , I can't possibly lock you up, I think you are so stupid, it would be nice to live such a happy life. I am busy with state affairs during this period, so I neglected to go to the small restaurant. I didn't expect that someone would show up. I would take you to that kind of place, I feel sorry for you...

It is a great joy and great blessing for the country that you suddenly recovered so well! "

Why did you suddenly take the sensational route?

Gu Yu pursed his lips and just wanted to comfort the old father when he heard him say:

"Now that your head is feeling better, should we consider adopting the crown princess? Going to a place like Xiaotuaner really doesn't have a good reputation. We should also consider leaving an heir as soon as possible..."

"Isn't this not good?"

Although the image of a beautiful wife and concubine always makes people think about it, Gu Yu really didn't think about it at the moment.

The first priority now is making money.

Make lots and lots of money.

Only when his wallet is bulging can he feel at ease.

He was afraid that the wealth that fell from the sky would disappear one day, so he had to save some money in advance to find a way out for himself.

"You are already this age, and you are not ready to marry a concubine? We didn't talk about it before if we didn't have the conditions, but you should understand now, right?

You see, your brother Chengwang has a son and a daughter! Even your fourteen-year-old brother Xuan'er is already talking about a concubine. You are twenty-five years old this year. When your father is your age, your eldest brother is running behind you!

Could it be that you really like men? "

The emperor pursed his lips, and a trace of concern flashed in his round eyes: "Without descendants, the status will not be so stable."

Back then, the late emperor had three sons, and Gu Xingyun was the eldest.

Unfortunately, one of his brothers died in infancy, and the other married several concubines but could not have a child. The reason why Gu Xingyun was able to ascend to the throne was that he had many children and good fortune.

There was an imperial brother and an imperial sister in front of the prince. In the early years, the eldest prince was killed in a battle while leading an army. The imperial sister also married a neighboring country, and the prince became the eldest among the remaining children.

Come to think of it, the young King Cheng already has a son and a daughter, and even his underage brother has a girlfriend. The prince is still a young boy in his twenties who has never even had his first night, which is really a bit embarrassing.

"Father, I definitely don't like men, I just think it's not appropriate to marry a concubine now."

In the future, he will make money and run away. If he marries a concubine, won't he have to take her with him? My natal family is in the capital, so I feel really sorry to have others leave their hometown.

Besides, Gu Yu doesn't like this kind of arranged marriage in ancient times. He only cares about life experience. What if he marries someone so ugly that he doesn't care about life or death?

He is a face-controller and can't accept that.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"My son's illness has recovered. It's time to study hard and work hard to achieve great results. How can we delay it for the sake of a personal relationship between our children? No, no, father."

The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.

He stared at Gu Yu with approval and said, "The prince is so aware. Yes, if you inherit this position in the future and don't make some achievements, those gossiping ministers will not agree."

Gu Yu followed the emperor's gaze to the seat above.

The hairs on the back stood upright.

Does this fat old man want him to inherit the throne?

That's not what he meant!

"Father, this is not what I mean. I... I mean, I have done a lot of homework in the past. Now I have to read more while my head is clear. As for that position, I think my younger brothers may be more suitable. .”

He would fight for the throne because he was crazy. He had heard too many stories about nine sons seizing the throne. He climbed to the throne by stepping on the bones of his brothers.

He just wants to be a rich second generation, the kind of rich second generation who hangs around waiting to die, eating, drinking and having fun. Isn't it good to just let him stay in his original state?

"Prince, my position has always been reserved for you. Why have I endured so much pressure for so many years? Isn't it because I hope that one day you will wake up and inherit my position? Now, thanks to God's mercy, I can return it to you. If you have a clear head, why would you do this to yourself?"

Gu Yu: "..."

The pie painted by the emperor was so big that it made people choke.

"It's settled. You and your brothers and sisters will go to the Royal Study Room tomorrow to review your books. Don't go outside. Do you hear me?"

Gu Yu opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.

If I had known better, it would be better to act stupid.

Even if the emperor favors the prince again, he must clearly understand the situation and not act too arbitrarily based on his favor.

The royal order cannot be violated.

It's better not to confront the emperor at this time.

"My son... I obey."

"There is also Li Zhichang. Originally, I wanted to give him some punishment, but he has already been beaten up. Besides, he is General Li's son. Let's spare him this time. What do you think?"

Gu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "I will listen to my father's arrangements."

The fat emperor was just afraid of Li Guodong, who held military power.

Forget it, Li Zhichang is much more honest after being beaten like this. Just let him go.

After Gu Yu left, the happy look on the emperor's face slowly faded, his eyes settled, and he called out of the palace: "Eunuch Sun!"

"The slave is here."

"Spread the news that the prince is recovering from illness. Before the court tomorrow morning, I will make sure that everyone in the civil and military court knows about it."

"Slave, let's do it now."

Gu Yu passed by the bustling capital market in a carriage.

It was bustling with people and the smell of fireworks was strong.

He stopped the driver.

Qianru followed from behind and stood by the window: "What do you want to buy, Your Highness?"

Gu Yu lay on the window sill of the carriage, looked around, and raised his eyes: "Qianru, do you have a younger brother?"

Qianru didn't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince asked like this, so she answered honestly: "I have a younger sister and two younger brothers."

"So many children in your family."

"My slave's family doesn't have many children. For families with many children, there are more than a dozen."

"oh oh."

Gu Yu responded, secretly sighing that ancient people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Did they start creating humans when the sun set? No wonder the common people's families were not very wealthy.

The poorer I get, the worse I get, and I fear that a golden phoenix will fly out of my family.

But the more he lives, the poorer he becomes.

"Qianru, when you and your brother are at odds, what do you do to comfort him?"

Qianru smiled and said, "Children are not very good-tempered. Just buy a bunch of candied haws or a candy man and you'll be happy."

"Can you coax a teenager with a candy man or candied haws?"

Gu Yu seemed to be talking to himself, with a slight smile on his lips, "I'm afraid it won't work."

He glanced around and landed on the blacksmith shop at the corner of the street. The short knife placed at the door attracted his attention.

So he got off the carriage and walked over.

The owner of the blacksmith shop saw a well-dressed young man coming in front of the stall. He quickly wiped his hands on his apron and greeted him with a smile:

"What do you want to buy, sir?"

"Do you have a short knife like the one used by nomads? Give me one."
