Every time Hsu Fengnian took a step forward, Wei Wei and the one surnamed Zhao would take two steps back, until there was nowhere to retreat. Xu Feng came to the window and happened to see the Heir Apparent of the King of Jing An and his retinue jump into the water. Hsu Fengnian narrowed his eyes, feeling deeply moved. At that time, Zhao Heng, the sixth prince, had the greatest influence. The Empress Dowager regarded this filial son the most highly. The faction of relatives and the leaderless civil officials hit it off. And it was at that time that Zhao Heng wrote the poem, "Raise an army of a million to drive away the mang slaves, immediately erect a monument on the first peak." That time could be said to be the most glorious period of Prince Jing 'an's life. Who would have thought that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? The second prince, who was originally the least favored, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was unknown how he obtained the full support of the eunuchs, chamberlains, and military generals. First, he secretly detained the Empress Dowager, then he launched a series of assassinations. Several powerful relatives died in one night. The posthumous edict appeared again. It was clearly written that the previous Emperor wished for the second prince to ascend the throne. The second prince rightfully sat on the Emperor's throne and became the current Emperor. The eight princes contended for the throne, causing a disaster. In the end, only one of the former Crown Prince died. In fact, in the eyes of those with discerning eyes, this could be considered as His Majesty the Emperor being merciful and lenient. It was much better than the deaths of all the princes and grandsons of the previous dynasties. Zhao Heng and the other princes were successively conferred the title of Vassal Kings, each having their own fiefdom and military power. Although the 《Vassal Laws》 was extremely harsh, Prince Jing' an, Prince Jing 'an, Prince Zhao Heng, Prince Huainan, Prince Zhao Ying, and the other weaker vassal kings did not utter a single word of complaint that reached the ears of the people under the heavens. Although the 《Vassal Laws》 was extremely harsh, Prince Jing' an, Prince Jing 'an, Prince Zhao Heng, Prince Huainan, Prince Zhao Ying, and the other weaker vassal kings did not complain at all.
As for how the master and servant would go to Xiangfan, this was not Hsu Fengnian's concern. After thinking for a while, he turned to Ning Emei and said, "Kick the Huang Tou Lang who fell into the water again. One ship cannot carry so many people. Let the general of the ship take them to Mount Lao. Wang Linquan will be in charge of receiving them. When you kick their butts, don't forget to mention that there is good food and drink at Mount Lao. I have done my best."
Ning Emei accepted the order and left. When the young ladies of the noble families of Qingzhou heard the words of the Beiliang heir, they could not help but laugh. They looked at each other and laughed. To them, the Beiliang heir and the Beiliang heir were people far away in the sky. No matter how much they struggled in the imperial court, they would not be implicated. The Green Party had never participated in direct battles with the vassal kings. The Green Party was known as the best in the imperial court. If not for this, why was the Green Party the only one in 30 provinces? The Beiliang heir in front of them was rather interesting. Even though on the surface he was slapping the face of the Qingzhou Navy, he was secretly targeting the Jing 'an Palace. As a result, the Green Party, who kept a clear distance from the King of Jing' an, Zhao Heng, felt much more at ease. They guessed that the ancestors would not be angry. It was true that the noble families of Qingzhou were united, but it was obvious that Wei Chong's family was going to be abandoned. Rather than being dragged into the water, it was better to drink tea and enjoy the scenery on the side. To be on the same boat as the Beiliang, His Royal Highness, and enjoy the scenery, how big of a gimmick would it be if word got out?
Hsu Fengnian finally came back to his senses. He walked to the corner, picked up Zhao Heng, and threw him out of the window. He fell into the water with a howl. He then said to Wei Wei, who looked like he was going to trap the beast and fight to the death, "Let's use the ship and bring it outside of Xiangfan City, and we'll write off all our grievances. How about it?"
Wei Wei, who had long given up all hope and was prepared to fight to the death, was first stunned. Then, his pockmarked face was filled with joy. With a plop, he knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground. In a trembling voice, he said, "Thank you, His Royal Highness!"
Hsu Fengnian used his foot to step on Wei Ejiao's head and scolded jokingly, "You blind thing. I heard that you've been racking your brains to become sworn brothers with Li Hanlin. Don't you know who he's been taking the blame for all these years?"
Although Wei Wei was kneeling and had his head stepped on, his heart felt more and more at ease. He raised his head and smiled flatteringly, "It's all my fault for not recognizing Mount Tai."
A man who knows when to yield and when to stand tall. This was true on and off the bed. Even if it was someone like Wei Wei who only knew how to be an unscrupulous hedonist, there were masters in all three professions. Most of them were able to do something of their own.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Get up. A man has gold under his knees. What's the matter with kneeling in front of me?"
Wei Wei carefully stood up. Just as he let out a sigh of relief, the Beiliang heir's next sentence brought him back to his original state. "Your archery is not bad. It's said that you practiced it by killing women. Go, shoot an arrow at the son of the governor. If you kill him, I'll introduce you to Li Hanlin. If you don't kill him …"
Wei Wei was silent.
