Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

However, Emperor Jingwen’s attitude was very firm. He would not say it.

Ye Shuo didn’t mind: “If you don’t want to say it, then I’ll say it for you.”

After saying this, Ye Shuo wrote the first line of words.

“I wish to inherit your throne…”

When he heard the first few words, the veins on Emperor Jingwen’s head began to throb wildly.

Ye Shuo seemed not to notice and continued: “I haven’t seen you for a few days. I miss you so much.”

“…Stop!” Emperor Jingwen couldn’t bear it any longer and gritted his teeth to call for a stop.

“What the hell did you write?!”

“A family letter, isn’t that how a family letter should be written?” Ye Shuo said as if it was a matter of course.

Who writes a letter like this? The words used are so artificial and… disgusting.

Emperor Jingwen’s face turned green, as if he had eaten something indigestible.

Seeing that he was about to continue, Emperor Jingwen made a prompt decision: “Give me the pen.”

Ye Shuo looked embarrassed: “Ah? Dad, this is not good, right?”

Emperor Jingwen stood up and said, “Bring it here!”

When Emperor Jingwen sat there instead of Ye Shuo, he realised that the paper was empty and there was clearly nothing written on it.

Looking at the mockery in his youngest son’s eyes, what else could Emperor Jingwen not understand?

Ye Shuo took a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, he said slowly: “Since you care, why don’t you say it clearly?” Guessing all the time will only hurt others and yourself.

Emperor Jingwen tightened his grip on the brush, his face was serious and looked exceptionally handsome.

People who care about their reputation are generally like this, which shows that being too shameful is not a good thing.

Seeing that he was about to get angry again, Ye Shuo didn’t dare to provoke him again and quickly stepped aside.

“You keep busy, keep busy. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I’m leaving now. See you tomorrow, Dad!”

After saying this, Ye Shuo immediately ran away.

As an emperor, Emperor Jingwen would never bow his head first. The crown prince could not guess what he was thinking, so he was naturally anxious.

But in fact, the difference between father and son is just a step. The problem is that no one is willing to give them this step.

Everyone knows it, but no one wants to.

After a whole stick of incense had passed, Emperor Jingwen finally made his first move.

“I wish to inherit your throne…”

“…I have a lot of thoughts about the trip to Liangzhou. I will personally remove all the officials in the southern bureaucracy. After this incident, I hope my son will think carefully in the future and not believe in the slander of villains. People with high status can be feared but not relied upon. Those who can be feared should be upright and behave themselves. If you fail to follow the teachings of the past, your crime will be greater than that of others. As the crown prince, you must be even more cautious. You should remember this lesson and never make the same mistake again.”

After half an hour, Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath, put down the pen, waited for the ink to dry, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the person next to him.

“Go and deliver this letter to Bingzhou and give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

The man was startled at first, then said, “Yes!”

I just hope that the crown prince can listen to me.

Looking at the sky that had already turned dark, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but sigh.

At night, before going to bed, Ye Shuo heard the sound of horse hooves and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s better to talk about it out loud. Only by talking about it out loud can the problem be solved fundamentally. Otherwise, it will just be scratching the surface.

In a blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

Ever since the people of Liangzhou City knew that they were the Ninth Prince’s brothers, the attention paid to the fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth princes when they were active in the city suddenly increased greatly. At the same time, they also saw how comfortable their younger brothers’ lives were outside.

No wonder he was so unwilling to go back, he is really cool.

In Liangzhou City, the prefect was his sworn brother, the people in the underworld recognized him as their leader, the businessmen and wealthy people greeted him with smiles, and even the women who came and went frequently flirted with him.

There’s no way, not only men like women, women in the world also like men. Although they cannot express their preferences openly due to etiquette, the frequent glances back cannot deceive people.

I don’t want to take this kind of beauty home, but it would be nice to be able to take a few more glances at her on the street.

It wasn’t so obvious in the past when they were in Shangjing. The noble ladies in Shangjing City, firstly, seldom went out, and secondly, they knew clearly his identity. They thought that marrying a prince who only doted on them but had no ability would not be of any benefit to the family.

However, despite this, many people were still tempted. After all, even though the Ninth Prince was notoriously arrogant and debauched, just looking at his face would make people feel much better even if they just put it at home.

Unfortunately, before the noble ladies had a chance to act, Ye Shuo was summoned back to the palace by the emperor, and then he disappeared. It was really a pity.

The fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth princes only heard about this after Ye Shuo left. For a whole month after Ye Shuo left, he was the only topic of conversation in the capital. Upon inquiry, they found that most of the information was spread by women. Then the fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth princes realised that their ninth brother was so popular.

Then the Fourth Prince couldn’t help but start worrying about his marriage.

“If I remember correctly, you will be twenty soon, right? How come you haven’t met the girl you like yet?”

“…Oops.” Upon hearing this, Ye Shuo was stunned and slammed the fan in his hand.

“I had forgotten about it.”

Ye Shuo had lived such a comfortable life in the past two years that he completely forgot to pay attention to other things.

Seeing this, the fifth prince couldn’t help but say something sarcastic: “Be careful, father will just point someone to you when the time comes.”

Ye Shuo paused: “No, not really…”

Although he said this, Ye Shuo was unsure in his heart. Let alone, this could really be possible.

Sometimes, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

After several days of investigation, Emperor Jingwen finally breathed a sigh of relief after carefully browsing through the things presented by his subordinates.

Although his son was indeed involved with the prefect of Liangzhou, it was not what he thought.

Most of the money his son earned was invested in the construction of Liangzhou. He used the construction of Liangzhou to drive his business. The two circulated and complemented each other, so he naturally made a fortune.

Emperor Jingwen was unable to judge for a moment whether his son was capable or simply good at spending money, because his son did not do much by himself. He basically spent huge sums of money and then asked others to do the work.

Such extravagance made Emperor Jingwen feel ashamed of himself.

An idea like the Ping An Hotel is not something a normal person can come up with. It is extremely dangerous. It only proves that he is brave and lucky, but nothing else.

The only contribution he made was the cement used to pave the roads in Liangzhou City, which he made himself.

The little bastard has loved playing in the mud since he was a child, and now he has really become famous for it.

Emperor Jingwen wanted to praise him, but the problem was that various gambling methods and rules in his Qinglufang were emerging one after another. Qinglufang would launch a new gambling method every once in a while, such as mahjong and poker. Emperor Jingwen had checked and found that they were also invented by him. Compared with them, cement was nothing.

The little bastard is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart, but he doesn’t use his intelligence in the right way.

In addition, when they went to Qinglufang to capture him before, Ye Shuo left such a deep impression on Emperor Jingwen that Emperor Jingwen really couldn’t believe that he really had any great abilities.

He often goes in and out of gambling houses, and occasionally goes to the music school to hang out with the girls there. He goes hunting, fishing and flower viewing every three to five days. Xiaojiu is still the same Xiaojiu.

These things that were investigated cannot be called secrets. They can be completely regarded as the little bastard’s daily leisurely life. Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but feel relieved while sighing.

Similarly, Emperor Jingwen also discovered a problem. Until now, his son had not become smart. Although he would occasionally go to the music school, he had never asked the women there to serve him. Usually, except for Xiao Luzi, he was surrounded by burly men.

In other words, his son still hadn’t lost his virginity until now, which made Emperor Jingwen wonder if there was something wrong with him.

This discovery made Emperor Jingwen extremely worried.

This kind of thing would be inconvenient even for a biological mother to ask, as it concerned the offspring of his youngest son. Emperor Jingwen hesitated for a long time, and finally, suppressing his embarrassment, summoned Xiao Luzi and asked him a few questions.

But Xiao Luzi’s answer made Emperor Jingwen feel even more depressed.

Even Xiao Luzi said that there has never been a woman around him, which proves that there really has never been a woman around him.

Emperor Jingwen put his son’s marriage on the agenda without hesitation. Even he began to get anxious.

The first person Emperor Jingwen visited was Zhao Jinchuan.

The prefect is also an important official. Under normal circumstances, his status would not be worthy of that of a prince, but in the current situation, it is just right.

When Zhao Jinchuan heard the emperor asking him if he had any unmarried daughters at home, he was stunned. Obviously, he also understood that there must be a deep meaning behind the emperor’s question. In addition, the ninth prince had not yet married, so the answer was very clear.

But unfortunately, it is a little late to bring up this matter now.

After a fierce struggle in his heart, Zhao Jinchuan finally shook his head helplessly: “I do have a daughter, who is now eighteen years old, but… my daughter is already engaged and will be married on the eighth day of the tenth month this autumn.”

You can’t break off the engagement at this critical moment, right? That would be too embarrassing.

Emperor Jingwen had no choice but to give up.

There is no suitable one on Zhao Jinchuan’s side. There is no one in Liangzhou City who is of sufficient status to be a match for the prince.

We can’t really let Xiaojiu marry the daughter of a merchant, what a disgrace that would be!

Ye Shuo was extremely delighted to hear the news.

Ye Shuo thought that the matter was over, so when Emperor Jingwen decided to set off, he followed him.

“What are you doing here?” Emperor Jingwen frowned.

Ye Shuo was stunned: “Why can’t I come?”

Isn’t it about the Southern Tour? In Ye Shuo’s eyes, Southern Tour = Inspection = Travel, and he also wanted to see what the ancient emperors’ Southern Tour looked like.

“Dad, you have confiscated all my shops. What am I still doing staying in Liangzhou City?” It would be too cruel for him to watch the change of ownership of Qinglufang with his own eyes.

“you–“

Before Emperor Jingwen could finish his words, Ye Shuo squeezed forward.

Normally he wouldn’t come when he was called, but now he came even when he was not called. Emperor Jingwen felt a headache looking at his little son who was always so rebellious.

But since he was already on the boat, Emperor Jingwen would not chase him off, but only reminded him: “You can follow along, but remember not to cause trouble.”

What does “making trouble” mean? When has he ever failed to keep his promise?

And what’s with the cheap dad’s coaxing tone?

Although he was complaining in his heart, Ye Shuo nodded hurriedly.

Looking at their naive younger brother, several princes couldn’t help but shake their heads.

At the same time, on the other side, Emperor Jingwen’s letter finally arrived in Bingzhou after many twists and turns.

When the prince heard the news outside, he was startled and subconsciously took the letter.

Then, the inky black words above came into view——

“I have given a lot of thought to the Liangzhou trip. I will personally remove all the officials in the southern bureaucracy one by one. As the crown prince, you have violated the teachings of your ancestors, and your crime is greater than that of others. I hope you will think carefully.”

‘As the crown prince, you have violated the teachings of your ancestors, and your crime is greater than that of others.’

If he wasn’t extremely disappointed, my father would not have used such words. And the purpose of my father’s trip was indeed me.

If the crown prince still had a glimmer of hope before, now he can no longer deceive himself.

After repeatedly confirming that it was undoubtedly Emperor Jingwen’s handwriting, the prince’s face turned pale.
