"Your Highness, this can be your chance to rise… It has been so many years but Your Highness should not have forgotten that the throne should have belonged to you."
The middle aged man was still talking, persuading the young man in front of him to step forward. Fei Yang Kingdom was strong.
But it didn't mean that everyone was listening to Emperor Yang Zhou. There were still some people who were dissatisfied, especially the few people who didn't get any benefit from Emperor Yang Zhou and instead being excluded from many matters. These people hoped that someone could become the emperor instead of Emperor Yang Zhou.
But there were not many people with that qualification. "It's boring." Prince Yang Lu looked at the middle aged man in front of him and waved his hand. "Your Highness…!"
The middle aged man was dragged out by the shadow guard and he tried to plead but his mouth was promptly blocked. The shadow guard quickly dragged the middle aged man out of the Imperial Palace at the fastest speed possible. Prince Yang Lu snorted and then sipped the tea he was holding. This was already the third person who came to him, asking him to take over the throne that belonged to his older brother. He's not stupid.
Emperor Yang Zhou should have been prepared everything before he left and if Prince Yang Lu dared to launch a rebellion, there would be many people stopping him in Cheng City alone. This place has been the Capital City of Fei Yang Kingdom for who knows how many years.
It might look like there were not enough officials because most of them were brought by Emperor Yang Zhou. But those who were left in important position should be people whom Emperor Yang Zhou trusted.
These small fries thought that this was their chance, not knowing that this was nothing more than a trap set by Emperor Yang Zhou for them to fall in. When they dared to show even the slightest bit of intention to rebel, there would be more than enough people to deal with them. "I have no time to play with you."
Prince Yang Lu snorted.
If not because he was already living a comfortable life here, Prince Yang Lu would have followed Emperor Yang Zhou to the new capital city. But right now, Prince Yang Lu just wanted to stay here with his wife and daughter. As for other things…
Why should he care?
"Your Highness, there's another person who come to see you," a manservant came to Prince Yang Lu and knelt down.
These servants were all Prince Yang Lu's people. Over the years, Prince Yang Lu had replaced the people in his residence with his people slowly but surely. It was just to make sure that he had some people he could trust to a certain degree. Of course, he didn't remove the few people whom Emperor Yang Zhou sent to monitor him.
He knew very well that Emperor Yang Zhou would never let him become the Emperor, so some surveillance was necessary. Prince Yang Lu also knew that inciting rebellion or anything like that was basically impossible.
How many generals and soldiers were under Emperor Yang Zhou?
Over the years, Prince Yang Lu had already seen the powerful forces that Emperor Yang Zhou built under him, slowly but surely expanding Fei Yang Kingdom's size and influence. It was to the point that their number of soldiers could supers sShi Long Kingdom in the end.
And these people were mostly under Emperor Yang Zhou.
On what basis should he start a rebellion?
Prince Yang Lu felt that it was boring.
Besides, a comfortable life like this was already very good. He didn't have to do anything and there were people waiting for him. His wife was also accompanying him and play with him from time to time.
Emperor Yang Zhou also didn't let him participate in the politics too much anymore.
Not that Prince Yang Lu would like to either.
"Who is it?" Prince Yang Lu asked. "It's Official Song, Song Chuan, Your Highness," the servant replied. Song Chuan?
Prince Yang Lu knew this name because this was one of the few highest ranked officials who remained behind in Cheng City. If he was not wrong, one of the potential governors of Cheng City was Song Chuan. Some people were not happy about this and might try to make trouble but Prince Yang Lu was not really interested in their play. Since this Song Chuan would be the new governor in Cheng City, Prince Yang Lu still has to maintain basic respect for him. Prince Yang Lu sighed. "Let him in."
He waved his hand and the maidservant on the side quickly refilled the tea and prepared another cup for Song Chuan. In this way, when Song Chuan arrived, a cup filled with tea has been prepared for him. "Your Highness," Song Chuan greeted and cupped his fist before bending down slightly to show his respect. Even if Prince Yang Lu didn't hold any power whatsoever, he was still the prince of Fei Yang Kingdom. His status was actually higher than Song Chuan in name. Of course, Prince Yang Lu had no right to meddle with Cheng City's government because Emperor Yang Zhou didn't allow him to.
"Official Song." Prince Yang Lu nodded in return and smiled. "Please have a seat. This is the new tea produced in Hen Bei Province. Do have a taste."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Song Chuan tasted the tea. It was bitter yet there was a hint of sweetness, which clearly reflected how good the tea is. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is a good tea. It tastes really good."
"Good." Prince Yang Lu smiled and then asked, "May I know why you come to see me, Official Song?"
"Your Highness, pardon me for being presumptuous, but I would like to ask about Your Highness's view of Cheng City." Song Chuan held a polite smile on his face, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
