Episode 28
Concubine Jing understood that Mr. Su was Lin Shu.She solemnly told Prince Jing that Mr. Su was a sincere person, and she should treat him more kindly than others, and never forget her support.She also specially made a double portion of snacks and ordered Prince Jing to bring one portion to Mr. Su.A series of doubts led King Jing to confirm that there was something strange in Xiang Di Ji. He repeatedly studied it, but could not find the key, which made him confused.
Prince Jing was granted the title of Prince and received a five-bead crown, which was only two beads away from Prince Yu. There were new changes in the political situation, which made Prince Yu very angry.Mei Changsu continued to confuse him and said that it was a good thing for Prince Jing to grant the title, saying that the prince was about to be deposed and the emperor needed a new balance.King Yu expressed annoyance that he had spent ten years fighting against the prince and got nothing, so he had to continue fighting against King Jing. Mei Changsu comforted him and said that King Jing could not compare with the prince.King Yu left Su's house with deep thoughts.Mei Changsu knew that he would never be able to fool King Yu this time, so he began to increase his vigilance.
The fourth sister was gentle and considerate, and successfully got close to Tong Lu, making him fall in love with her and fall into a beauty trap.
After Prince Jing granted the title, he told his mother and concubine to be careful.At this time, rumors spread in the palace that King Jing was not inferior to King Yu, and in some aspects was even better than King Yu.The queen was furious, and King Yu also began to doubt Mei Changsu.
In the court, King Yu and King Jing have started fighting.King Jing studied government affairs, neglected food and sleep, and made rapid progress.One day, Shen Zhui visited Prince Jing's Mansion at night and informed that five states had been hit by drought and locust plagues this year, resulting in no harvest.In the past, the crown prince and Prince Yu competed to be the person in charge of disaster relief. Their purpose was not to save the people from disaster, but to divide the relief funds.Every time they provide disaster relief, the disaster area will be starved to death and mobs will break out because less than 30% of the relief funds fall into the hands of the victims.Shen Zhui implored Prince Jing to be the person in charge of the disaster relief work.
The next day, King Yu and King Jing argued endlessly in front of Emperor Liang about who should go to relieve the disaster.King Yu had no choice but to donate his money to help the people. The incorruptible King Jing was too short of money to compete with him, so the disaster relief project fell into King Yu's hands.
After leaving the palace, Shen Zhui angrily told King Jing that he hoped a thunder would fall from the sky and hit King Yu on the head.Prince Jing went to the Su Mansion to seek advice, lamenting that he was incompetent and quite frustrated.Mentioning Shen Zhui's words during the conversation, Mei Changsu said jokingly: There is a thunder on the way.
