Chapter 280 Cause and Effect Loop

"Brother Jin, is there something wrong?"

Chu Muyun looked at Su Jin and saw that he had a serious expression, a frown on his face, and a look of uneasiness in his eyes. He couldn't help but start to worry himself.

Su Jin's eyes never left the courtyard wall. He said slowly, "This felled willow tree is more like a signal."

"Muyun, do you think Yin Hongzhi is making any moves?"

Su Jin turned to look at Chu Muyun, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

When Chu Muyun heard Su Jin mention Yin Hongzhi, all sorts of information about him instantly surfaced in his mind, and he couldn't help but ponder. "Yin Hongzhi still has three thousand death warriors under his command. We have too few brothers in Qizhou."

"I have reported the situation, but have not alerted them yet."

"Brother Jin, are you saying... Yin Hongzhi is desperate?"

Su Jin nodded slightly, his expression serious, and gave a decisive order: "Muyun, go and notify all the Jinyiwei and soldiers from all the counties in Qizhou to gather in Linzi County."

"Okay, Brother Jin." Chu Muyun responded without hesitation.

"I'll tell General Ling to be careful. Qizhou is the fiefdom of the King of Qi after all. Their power is deeply entrenched here. Be careful."

As Su Jin spoke, she sorted out her clothes and prepared to take action.

"I understand, Brother Jin, don't worry!"

After Chu Muyun finished speaking, he hurried away, his figure quickly disappearing in the distance.

In the Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian, wearing a dragon robe, sat in front of the imperial desk, writing in his hand the imperial edict regarding the establishment of the crown prince and the restoration of the title of the retired emperor. However, he paused slightly, as if thinking about something.

After Fang Xuanling gave his report, he walked in with steady steps.

"Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling saluted respectfully.

Li Chengqian nodded gently. Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Chengqian, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Your Majesty, I have something I don't understand. The Crown Prince and the Empress are both in Xianyang now. This is illogical!"

"I wonder when we'll get to Chang'an?"

There was worry in Fang Xuanling's eyes. He was really worried that this unruly thing would cause trouble inside and outside the court.

The news that the Queen gave birth to a child yesterday spread like a gust of wind throughout Chaoyang in just one afternoon.

After Li Chengqian came back, he excitedly told all the officials that he wanted to appoint a crown prince, but the key point was that the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince were still staying in Xianyang.

The Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne. Normally, he should be stationed in Chang'an, leading the government and setting an example for the world.

Your Majesty is not the late emperor, why does he let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stay in Xianyang?

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince grew up in Xianyang this time, future dynasties might follow suit. Wouldn't that disrupt the royal regulations and court etiquette?

The impact is really bad.

So Fang Xuanling thought it over again and again and decided to raise the issue and discuss it with His Majesty first. Otherwise, His Majesty would be under tremendous pressure when facing the questions of the ministers when he went to court.

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Chengqian sighed helplessly, shook his head slowly, smiled bitterly and said: "Prime Minister Fang, you are one of us."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Is it that I don't want to bring it back?"

"Prime Minister Fang, honestly tell me, if you were me, could you bring me back?"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth but only uttered the word "this..."

Li Chengqian continued, "I know this is not a good idea. The Supreme Emperor insists on keeping the Crown Prince in Xianyang, saying he's still young and should be sent back to Chang'an when he's older. How can I object?"

"The Queen gave birth yesterday and is weak. She cannot travel by boat or carriage. I will let her rest for three months before returning to Chang'an."

"But Prince, I can't guarantee it!"

"Isn't Lord Wei also in Chang'an? Can't he persuade Your Majesty?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Chengqian was silent, his heart filled with bitterness.

Wei Zheng did try to persuade them, but those old ministers had received benefits from the retired emperor and were all completely submissive.

They all felt that there was nothing wrong with letting the Emperor take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Chengqian himself also felt that this was not a big deal. After all, from the perspective of family affection, it was equivalent to an elder brother taking care of his grandson.

But in this royal family with complicated etiquette, there are many hidden dangers.

Li Chengqian remembered what Li Shimin said when he came back.

"I will not let you take my grandson to Chang'an! I want to teach him myself.

"Chaotang, you take care of it!"

You keep talking about how much pressure you were under when you were in Chang'an. Can't you bear some of it now?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed in his heart, this is the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is inevitable.
