Chapter 426: The Paranoid Prince in the Extra Story (6)
Hearing Ruan Yu's words, Ruan Jiuchao asked, "Dad, is there anything else? What else did Brother Xiaozui say?"
Ruan Yu shook his head and said, "Nothing more to say."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Jiuzhao frowned and asked, "How is it possible?! Brother Xiaozui wrote so many words, how could he only say this little?!"
Ruan Yu: "Your brother Xiaozui gave you a lot of gifts, do you want to go and take a look?!"
"Okay." Hearing the word 'gift', Ruan Jiuzhao's eyes widened instantly and he cheered, "Okay."
Jiang Zui brought many new and interesting things from the capital to Ruan Jiuchao.
Just after he finished speaking, Ruan Jiuchao said to Ruan Yu coquettishly: "Daddy, I want to write back to Brother Xiaozui, but I don't know how to write. Can you help me write it?"
"Okay." Ruan Yu said with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
Ruan Jiuzhao held the letter tightly in one hand and pulled Ruan Yu's sleeve with the other hand, saying, "Dad, let's go to the study."
"Okay, slow down."
In the study, Ruan Yu asked, "What does Chao Chao want to write to Jiang Zui?"
"Hmm..." Ruan Jiuchao thought for a long time and said, "Just write...just write...I received a letter from Brother Xiaozui, I am very happy, thank you Brother Xiaozui for the gift, and...and Brother Xiaozui is gone, I have no playmates, I miss him very much."
"That's all?!" Ruan Yu asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"And more!" Ruan Jiuchao suddenly thought, "I want Brother Xiaozui to write to me more often, and also want Brother Xiaozui to always think of me and not forget me."
"That's all." After saying that, Ruan Jiuchao said in a low voice.
Ruan Yu finished writing it quickly.
Ruan Jiuchao looked at Ruan Yu's actions and suddenly said, "Dad, I also want to learn to read. Can you teach me?"
"Why do we have to learn to read?!" Ruan Yu asked.
"Because then I can write to Brother Xiaozui."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Ruan Yu's face froze instantly, and he said awkwardly: "Okay, okay, let's do it another day. I'll ask a teacher to teach you, okay?"
"Yeah, okay." Ruan Jiuchao nodded in response with a smile.
Because the distance between the capital and Fuzhou County was too far, it took Jiang Zui a month to receive the letter.
After reading the letter, Jiang Zui smiled and thought to himself: Fortunately, his wife hasn't forgotten him after all this time.
This shows that he did a good job before leaving.
Jiang Yimo, who was standing by, looked at his brother's smiling face and asked curiously, "Xiaozui, is this the little brother of Ruan Aiqing's family?!"
"Yeah." Jiang Zui nodded and said.
"Since you like him so much, why don't I just transfer Ruan Yu to the capital?" Jiang Yimo suggested.
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Zui immediately retorted: "Don't bother with that, my brother."
Ruan Yu's talents are being displayed in Fuzhou County, so it would be inappropriate to ask Ruan Yu to come back at this time.
In the text, Ruan Yu passed the imperial examination and was assigned to Fuzhou County, a barren land with poor people.
When Ruan Yu took over the mess of Fuzhou County, Fuzhou County was on the sea, and maritime bandits were rampant, often harassing villages and towns along the coast.
The land is not suitable for growing food, and there are various extreme weather conditions, among other problems.
However, after taking over, Ruan Yu transformed Fuzhou County step by step. He first introduced economic crops suitable for the land, then developed the maritime economy, eliminated bandits, and gradually made Fuzhou County wealthy.
This stage is the most critical moment for Ruan Yu.
For the sake of his father-in-law's future career, it would be better for him not to get involved.
Jiang Zui explained: "Brother Huang, what I mean is that Chao Chao is still young, it won't be too late to discuss our affairs later."
"Chao Chao?!" Jiang Yimo's eyes were full of gossip and asked, "You call me little brother Chao Chao, then... did Ruan Aiqing treat you badly?!"
He knew something about Ruan Yu's temper.
Jiang Zui shook his head and said, "No, my father-in-law is still very good."
Hearing Jiang Zui's words, Jiang Yimo was surprised and said, "Father-in-law?! You and the boy haven't even gotten married yet, and you've already called him father-in-law?! Didn't Ruan Yu say anything to you?!"
"Yes." Jiang Zui said calmly: "My father-in-law doesn't let me call him father-in-law, but he calls me by his name, and I call him mine."
"Good boy." Jiang Yimo said admiringly.
When Jiang Yimo and Ruan Yu met, he was assassinated by people sent by Concubine Su and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he met Ruan Yu who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination and saved him.
Afterwards, he chatted with the other party again and found that the other party’s idea was very good.
Then I began to understand it more deeply.
The two became good friends because of this.
He learned about Ruan Yu's actions in Fuzhou County from the secret guards, so he felt that the court was lacking talents like Ruan Yu.
But at this time the political situation had just stabilized and everything had to start over again.
He also needs Ruan Yu to make other counties as prosperous as Fuzhou County.
Nearly half of the people in the court were purged by him.
So, he plans to open Enke next year.
Jiang Zui urged, "Brother Emperor, it's been almost a month. Didn't you say you were going to choose a concubine? Why haven't you chosen yet?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "This...this...I just took office, the treasury is empty, and I plan to hold an imperial examination next year, so the matter of selecting a concubine...is not urgent."
Now that he had achieved his great revenge and his brother was so caring, he had no worries except for a country that had been sick for a long time.
The late emperor had nine sons, two brothers and six daughters.
My brother and daughter are both married.
The fifth prince and the eighth prince were also killed by Jiang Yimo.
Jiang Yimo was killed along with the fifth prince's child, which was a complete eradication of the entire clan.
The Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince, who followed the Fifth Prince, were also reduced to commoners and exiled to the frontier.
The eldest prince died young.
The third and fourth princes did not interfere in the fight for the throne, and they still have not been given titles.
Only the prince's younger brother, the ninth prince Jiang Zui, who was only nine years old, became the King of Freedom.
In just one month, Jiang Zui became a person that everyone in the capital wanted to get close to.
As everyone knows, the new emperor is cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye. He is only very kind to his younger brother, so kind that he allows Jiang Zui to live in the palace.
