As soon as he said this, everyone understood the emperor's meaning.
The position of the capital magistrate was second only to the governor and was very important.
They were responsible for the security of the capital and the safety of the imperial city. They also had the power to judge, resolve, and investigate cases. Therefore, the person who could take on this important role must be the emperor's most trusted person.
The emperor appointed Prince Xian as the capital magistrate to pave the way for him to take over the magistrate's position in the future.
This meant that he no longer trusted Magistrate Zhang.
A few officials knew that Magistrate Zhang was Chu Xuanchen's man. If Magistrate Zhang fell from power, Chu Xuanchen's power would be greatly weakened.
"This son thanks Imperial Father for his kindness." Prince Xian hurriedly thanked the Hongyuan Emperor.
"Your Majesty is wise." The others also hurriedly praised the emperor.
Anyone who could be the capital magistrate would have the chance to be the crown prince in the future. This was because several previous emperors of Chu had held this position when they were still princes.
From this, it could be seen that the emperor valued Prince Xian very much and wanted to train him to be his successor!
"Magistrate Zhang, Liuyun is still a newcomer. In the future, I'll need you to take care of him." The Hongyuan Emperor looked at Magistrate Zhang and narrowed his eyes meaningfully.
Magistrate Zhang's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly got up and cupped his hands, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This official will do my best to take care of His Highness."
"Wang has just entered the official career and there are many things that I don't know. I'll have to trouble Magistrate Zhang to teach me." Prince Xian smiled.
"You flatter me. Your Highness is very talented and knowledgeable. I heard that although Your Highness was ill before, you were quite proficient in the laws of the Chu Kingdom and the strategies to govern the country. It is this official who should ask Your Highness for advice." Magistrate Zhang cupped his fists and said.
"Wang used to be in poor health and liked to read to pass the time. That's why I know a little about these things. Now that my body has recovered, Wang also wants to do his part for Chu. "Prince Xian smiled.
At this time, Royal Prince Shunyang saw that everyone's attention was on Prince Xian. He secretly glanced at Yun Ruoyue and turned to slip away.
"Stop!" Suddenly, Yun Ruoyue shouted.
Royal Prince Shunyang turned around and saw Yun Ruoyue coldly glaring at him.
"Royal Prince, you just lost and haven't paid me the money you owe me. Where are you going?" Yun Ruoyue walked over and pulled Royal Prince Shunyang over.
"I, I want to go to the outhouse, can't I?" Royal Prince Shunyang said shamelessly.
"Oh? That's fine, but when are you going to pay me back the money you owe me? "Yun Ruoyue asked lightly.
"I don't have money right now. I'll give it to you when I have money," Royal Prince Shunyang said impatiently.
"A dignified Commandery Prince dares to act shamelessly in front of the Emperor. I don't believe that you can't even take out fifty thousand taels of silver. You're clearly trying to renege on your debt!" Yun Ruoyue said coldly.
"Yun Ruoyue, what do you mean? Do you think I will cheat you of your fifty thousand taels? You look down on me too much. If you didn't say this, I would immediately give you the money. You look down on me like this. Even if I had the money, I wouldn't give it to you, "Royal Prince Shunyang said angrily.
"Impudent!" Emperor Hongyuan heard this and his face immediately darkened.
His eyes were malicious and deep, and his anger surged. Royal Prince Shunyang was so scared that his legs went weak and his scalp went numb.
"Imperial Prince Feng, how did you teach your son? How should you punish your son for this? "Emperor Hongyuan suddenly looked at Imperial Prince Feng and shouted.
This Royal Prince Shunyang didn't give him, the Emperor, any face. He was sitting here, but he still dared to act shamelessly.
Imperial Prince Feng had just been drinking with Imperial Prince Shunyang and the two were drunk. When they suddenly heard the word 'impudent', they woke up in fright.
