Chapter 314: An accident goes for the goal
“Brother Xu, it’s because you’ve been studying so hard these days that you haven’t heard anything about it!” The man in green suit smiled, then whispered, “We are now using power to sit on this position. After the late emperor died, the princes began to move.”
“What are you talking about?” The man in blue suit was a little surprised.
The man in green suit said mysteriously, “I heard these words. Didn’t I go to Qing city a few days ago? I just met two drinking officials and heard this from them.”
“It’s terrible, what should we do? If there is a war, the common people will be hurt the most!” The man in the blue suit was panicked and looked like a storm was coming soon.
The man in green suit patted him on the shoulder, “Nothing need to worry about. As long as one remains a monk, one rings the bell. At the worst, we can escape to a safe place, and come back after the war ends, anyway. Who is the emperor has nothing to do with us. As long as the world is peaceful.”
After hearing this, Chu Qingyan felt very emotional. In the minds of ordinary people, the most important thing was to eat enough food, whoever in power could ensure that they weren’t worried about food and clothing, they would support them. This was the sadness under power politics.
“Big Ice Cube, it sounds like Junlan State isn’t a peaceful place.” Chu Qingyan turned to Xiao Xu.
“Well, the emperor of Junlan State has five or six brothers, he used extraordinary means to ascend to the throne. Therefore, his brothers weren’t convinced on the surface. Because he didn’t use the right way to get the throne, so it was difficult to convince the public. So, the late emperor had to put these brothers on the land to appease all the government officials first. When all these were done, the power of the princes had grown stronger. When the emperor died, these princes were restrained by each other, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, these people began to feel restless. That’s normal because that’s politics.”
Xiao Xu didn’t want to explain so much, although the Parenting Scriptures said that girl only needs to know how to play qin, calligraphy and painting, but he still felt that his girl should develop in an all-round way and shouldn’t be restricted to the skills of female boudoirs, so he would explained the situation about Junlan State to her.
