"I heard that Loulan...seems to be raising an army. The situation has already become like this."

"Yes."

Chen Bo frowned.

"I heard that after something happened to the Ninth Prince here, Loulan wanted to raise an army."

"There are always some frictions with our Yongzhou border."

"When I think about this, I feel upset."

"It's just that our Ninth Prince is ill, and now is indeed a breakthrough."

"..."

Chen Zhining touched his chin. "Just because Lao Jiu is sick, does that mean everyone takes him so seriously? Wasn't it the same when Jiang Zhao wasn't around?"

"You don't know that?"

Chen Bo smiled and said, "In the eyes of the people at the border, Jiang Zhao is their heaven, an existence like no other."

"In today's Zhou and Song dynasties, this is an era of strict hierarchy. In this case, the prince represents the master in people's hearts."

"In our dynasty, the monarch governs the people and has always instilled in them that... the monarch is the supreme Son of Heaven."

"What is the Son of Heaven? He is the son of Heaven. So the monarch and the royal family are the Heaven in their hearts."

"Now that Jiang Zhao is sick, the world in their hearts has collapsed."

"If the heaven in their hearts is not a good heaven, but a heaven with harsh and cruel officials that make their people live in misery, they may not think it is a big deal, but... since Jiang Zhao came from Kyoto, he has been caring for the people at the border."

"Moreover, he took out all his money to set up schools for children at the border, built orphanages for orphans at the border, and a nursing home... and gave porridge to the people. These actions let us know that the Ninth Prince is a very good prince. He is the Rongbao Prince respected by our people."

"In that case, her popularity at the border is still quite high."

"Since his voice is so loud, the blow to the people will be great."

"He has been here for two or three years. If he falls, the blow to the people... will be no less than if General Wei were killed. This is the honor that comes with the royal status."

"..."

"I see."

Chen Zhining nodded thoughtfully.

Because of ideological indoctrination, ancient people had a natural filter for Jiang Zhao.

For example, after a person is born, his parents at home constantly instill in him ideas and concepts - you have to take care of your younger brother, and in the future, help your younger brother get married and buy a house, and these are all your responsibilities.

This is what you should do. If you don't do it, you are unfilial.

So you naturally became Voldemort.

But after you come into contact with the outside world, you realize that he is not the good brother who loves you, but the Voldemort who is ridiculed by everyone.

It turns out that outside, my own betrothal gift is not the money for my younger brother to marry his wife.

It’s not the money my brother used to buy a car.

You can also hold your own betrothal gift in your own hands.

Then you suddenly realize: it turns out that your parents have been lying to you, they are just telling lies.

The environment in which I live is wrong.

But...the key point is that the ancient people had no access to more correct ideas.

Due to the times, their thinking is backward.

Otherwise, how can we say that this is a feudal society?

Therefore, they have this filter for Jiang Zhao, and it cannot be changed.

So...the soldiers and generals of Loulan used this filter to attack the people of Yongzhou.

Chen Zhining frowned, "Did His Majesty say anything about how to change this situation?"

Chen Bo said: "His Majesty didn't say anything, but just handed me a secret letter, saying that if the situation becomes more serious, he will ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince to come and guard the border."

"???"

"Your Highness the Second Prince is coming?"

Chen Zhining twitched his lips and couldn't help but ask, "What can the Second Prince do?"

"Your Highness, if he was really a useless person who could be helped, he wouldn't have been a prince for so many years."

Especially...when compared with the brainless Third Prince and Fourth Prince.

No matter what, the second prince will be promoted to a prince.

He has been a prince for so many years, and when the prince was short of people before, he could not do anything. He was even more cowardly than the ninth prince who pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger. He was simply a supporting role. It can be seen... that he is a complete waste.

"I don't know."

Chen Bo smiled and shook his head, "Perhaps His Majesty has his own plans."

Chen Zhining touched his chin and said, "That makes sense. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

"Alas, I just hope Jiang Zhao can get better soon."

Chen Zhining frowned, "Let's look for more doctors."

Chen Bo asked again: "Are the four children doing well in Kyoto?"

Chen Zhining replied, "Everything is fine."

Then, suddenly, they heard a commotion outside.

"what happened?"

Chen Bo asked outside.

After a while, Songzi was seen rushing over.

He said hurriedly to Chen Bo and Chen Zhining: "It's bad, it's bad, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince...he..."

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, he seems to have no breath left!"

"!!!"

"what?!"

Chen Zhining pretended to be horrified and rushed over with Chen Bo!

......

Kyoto.

The emperor has been in a bad mood recently.

He was absent-minded when he was reviewing memorials.

There were no other palace maids or eunuchs in the imperial study, but the emperor felt inexplicably irritated.

He glanced at Li Haitang who was grinding ink carefully beside him, pursed his lips, and went up to scold him.

"Look at the ink you grind. Why isn't it as dark as before?"

"what!"

When Li Haitang heard this, his face turned bitter. He quickly knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake in a weak voice.

"It was my fault..."

"I didn't grind the ink properly, I deserve to be beaten."

As he said this, he slapped himself in the face.

What does it matter if the ink is black or not? This ink has always been the same black as before! Why is the emperor now... looking for trouble? !

But the emperor is in a bad mood now, and it is normal for him to look for trouble and want to scold others to vent his anger.

The eunuch knelt on the ground sighing and hitting himself twice. Then he heard the emperor speak impatiently.

"Hey, that's enough, why do I feel annoyed just by seeing you?"

"Hurry up and get out."

"Yes."

Li Haitang hurriedly rolled out as if he had been pardoned.

After he closed the door, he sighed and said to the eunuchs below.
