Chapter 457 Must agree to one condition

"The Western Territory is often harassed by bandits. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Most of the bandits in the western border are Xiongnu. Only by defeating Hu Yanping and winning a great victory in the northern border, which will seriously damage the Xiongnu's vitality, can they put aside their wolfish ambitions."

"In recent years, there have been constant floods in the south. Some officials have suggested building dams, while others have suggested that the people migrate to areas with less water. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Neither is advisable. The south is a land of fish and rice, and the people have long been accustomed to it. A hasty migration will cause panic and dissatisfaction. As for building dams, it is not a fundamental solution. The only fundamental solution is to build a canal to divert the water."

"There is corruption all over the country. How can we stop it?"

"Greed is human nature. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It cannot be eradicated. Only by making the inspectors honest can corruption be controlled."

In order to test Xiao Yu's ability, Taifu He and Xiao Yu talked about the government affairs and the people's livelihood, from civil officials and military generals to gentry and county officials. Everything he thought and thought shocked Taifu He.

The idle prince who had been suffering from illness for many years was actually well-informed about all the major and minor political affairs in the country.

Xiao Yu allowed Master He to look at him, and slowly tasted the Pu'er tea in the cup. The fragrance entered his stomach, and he said, "Good tea."

After a long while, Master He asked in confusion, "Your Highness has such insights and has spent so much effort to plan just to push Prince Jing to the throne?"

He didn't believe him.

Xiao Yu is the prince.

With such insights and extraordinary talents, how could he be willing to do things for others?

Xiao Yu put down the white porcelain teacup, which was slightly whiter than his own, and tried to stand up by holding on to the armrest of the chair. Seeing how hard he was struggling, Yan Qing reached out to help him.

"No need." Xiao Yu said with difficulty, and stood up tremblingly and with difficulty.

Yan Qing did not retract his hand that was about to touch Xiao Yu's arm. He understood Xiao Yu's thoughts in his heart, and he supported Xiao Yu with his hand.

The prince wanted to tell Tutor He about his illness to dispel Tutor He's doubts.

Xiao Yu almost used up all his strength to stand up by holding on to the back of the chair, and tried his best to control his breathing, adjust his steps, and stand steady.

"Your Highness, you..." Xiao Yu's look shocked Master He.

He only knew that Prince Su was suffering from a chronic illness and that he would not live long. It seemed that the rumors were not false.

Things that are easy for ordinary people are extremely difficult for Xiao Yu.

After adjusting his breathing, Xiao Yu handed his hand to Yan Qing, using it to stand up, with a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"Even if you send me to the palace now, I can't walk to the throne, so you can rest assured, Master."

Seeing Xiao Yu's frankness, Master He's originally hesitant heart settled down. He looked at Xiao Yu with cloudy eyes and said solemnly: "This old minister agrees to the prince, but the prince must agree to one condition of this minister."

"Master, please speak."

"Prince Jing can only be the crown prince, Your Majesty cannot help him usurp the throne! If Your Majesty agrees to this, I am willing to lend a helping hand."

His eyes, full of traces of time, stared at Xiao Yu, waiting for his reply.

Xiao Yu looked at Master He and promised, "Only change the crown prince, not the emperor."

After saying that, he took Yan Qing’s arm and walked out with heavy steps.

Watching Xiao Yu walk out of the study, besides feeling regretful, Master He actually felt a little excited.

Prince Su is indeed as wise as the rumors say. He can make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand. If he wants the world, others can only give it up.

If he becomes emperor, how prosperous Daning will be!

Outside in the corridor, Yan Qing asked Xiao Yu: "My Lord, if Master He knew that the final crown prince was not King Jing, would he regret it?"

Xiao Yu said, "No. Master He defended the prince because he had been taught by him since he was young. As for King Jing, he had never been in his eyes."

Yan Qing nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and asked Xiao Yu: "Does the prince want to take medicine?"

Xiao Yu just stood up with great effort, and he didn’t know if the poison would take effect again.

"Well, take one."

He still has a lot of things to do, and he will live well until he gets the other half of the herb.
