Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14756 Thoughts
Decai said in a deep voice: "I believe that the prince will understand. Everything your majesty has done is for the empire. Your Highness should be clear about this." Decai knew very well that everything Zuoqiu Wen did was to make the Star Empire better than before. Zuoqiu Zheng should understand this. If Zuoqiu Zheng could not even understand this, he would really not be worthy of being the prince of the Star Empire.

Zuo Qiuwen said in a deep voice: "Send a thousand ghost guards to follow Zheng'er. We must not let anything happen to him. Next, we will see how those noble families perform. But before they decide the winner, I think Zheng'er should be safe, but we can't bet on that."

Decai responded, Zuoqiuwen let out a long breath, then said: "I don't know what will happen when Zhenger goes to Fu Guangxing this time, well, just treat it as a training for him." Decai didn't say anything, and Zuoqiuwen started to deal with his documents again.

Zuo Qiuzheng's Prince's Mansion has its own administrative system, and there are quite a few officials, like Du Wei and others. In fact, each of them manages quite a few people. Those people are all officials of the Eastern Palace. These people are actually like a small court. The reason why Zuo Qiuzheng does not usually meet so many officials is because there is no need. People like Du Wei are just responsible for managing those officials, so it is enough to meet them, and there is no need to meet all the officials. This time Zuo Qiuzheng is going to Fu Guangxing, of course it is impossible to bring all of them with him. Although these people are officials of the Eastern Palace, they are also officials with records in the empire. Zuo Qiuzheng directly sent them back to the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Personnel will reassign them jobs.

Of course, if any of these people really wanted to follow Zuo Qiuzheng, they could write a letter themselves asking to follow Zuo Qiuzheng. But now Zuo Qiuzheng had obviously lost power, and those officials certainly didn't want to follow Zuo Qiuzheng anymore, so naturally no one wrote a letter. So Zuo Qiuzheng sent them directly back to the Ministry of Personnel, and he was preparing for his own departure.

Other people in the East Palace didn't know about this, so many servants and maids were dismissed. However, the Crown Princess and her companions still had to follow Zuo Qiuzheng. Zuo Qiuzheng asked them to pack up their things. Fortunately, it was very simple to pack up now. There were many space equipments in the Crown Prince's Mansion, and they could put all the things in them, which would make it convenient for them to leave. On the other side, Dewey and Li Mingde also gathered together and went to Dewey's house together.

When Madam Ru saw Li Mingde coming, she quickly asked him to sit down. Li Chengyang was also there. Du Wei asked them to sit down and then said to Li Chengyang and Madam Ru, "Chengyang, Mom, I have something to tell you. The crown prince was impeached today. His Majesty has issued an order to let the crown prince serve as the governor of Fuguang Star and leave the capital star within ten days. We have decided to follow the crown prince to Fuguang Star, so we must prepare immediately because we will leave soon."

Li Chengyang and Madam Ru were both stunned, and then Madam Ru's face changed. She had lived in the Du Mansion for half her life and knew something about the affairs in the court. She knew very well what it meant for the prince to be convicted, and to have to support Guangxing as the governor, which almost meant that the prince would never have the chance to sit in that position again. For them, this was almost like the sky falling.

Madam Ru said quickly: "What should we do? Are you all going to Fu Guangxing? What about us? Do we have to go too? Let us go too. If we don't go, there will be no one to take care of you when you get there." Madam Ru did not cry or make a fuss. She was also a person who had seen the world. She knew that at this time, it would be no use to say that she would not go with the prince, so she did not say those words.

When Li Chengyang heard what Madam Ru said, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and Li Mingde said, "I plan to let Cheng Zhen stay. After all, most of Chengyang's business and connections are here. Let her stay to look after the business, and her mother will stay too. I will follow the prince, and after we get there, we will try to slowly transfer the business over. What do you think?"

Dewey said in a deep voice, "I don't think it's necessary. Let Chengyang stay. Mom, you stay too. We can just follow the prince. You don't have to follow. We don't know what the situation is there. But in the future, you must act low-key here in the capital star. After all, we are now without a backer, so we should keep a low profile. Mother, don't go to the Du family in the future, otherwise, we will still be looked down upon by them. People like us are too close to the prince. We can't come out of the prince's mansion. Even if we come out of the prince's mansion, no one will dare to use us. So we must follow the prince. If something happens to the prince, we can only be a rich man in the future. So the business here is very important to us in the future. You can be said to be our last retreat, and you must guard this retreat well." Dewey had already made plans for the worst.

Li Mingde also nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, but I think we should slowly transfer our business to Fuguang Star. It's far away from the capital, so there won't be so many dignitaries there, and we don't have to worry about offending anyone. We can also use our power in Fuguang Star to find some good business there for our future. You should also know that His Highness's situation is actually very dangerous now. No matter which prince comes to power in the future, I'm afraid he won't let His Highness go easily, and we really have to prepare for the worst."

Hearing what Li Mingde said, Dewey fell into silence, and then he said, "Let's talk about it after we arrive at Fuguang Star. Mom, you stay here first. Chengyang, if you have time, please help me take care of my mom." Li Chengyang nodded, and Li Mingde stood up and said, "Let's go back first. I still have to pack my things. You should pack your things too. After we pack our things, we will go directly to the East Palace. I don't think it will be possible for us to live there for the next few days. After all, there are a lot of things to pack in the East Palace. We'll leave first." Dewey nodded, and then he sent Li Mingde and Li Chengyang out the door.

After the two men left, Dewey couldn't help but sigh. He sensed some changes in Li Mingde's attitude. He was already making arrangements for his retreat, and was ready to use the last bit of power in his hands to gain benefits for himself. He didn't want to do this, but Li Mingde wanted to do this. Dewey had no choice but to persuade him slowly.

Madam Ru then said, "Wei'er, what's going on? Why was the prince suddenly convicted?"

Du Wei smiled bitterly and said, "The prince did not listen to our advice and reached out to the prince's six generals. He also wanted to control some of the military governors, and he used poison to control those military governors. Today, this matter was exposed by Zhang Ruyi, the head of the Zhang family, and he also produced evidence, so the prince was convicted. This time, the prince may not have a chance to turn over. What Uncle Li said just now is right. We must also make plans for the future. If we don't handle it well, this matter will implicate us. Even if we are not convicted, we may not be able to be this official. But now if we leave the prince, we will not be able to be this official immediately. No one will dare to accept us, so we can only follow the prince. I am the first one to follow the prince because there is no better choice."

Madam Ru nodded and then said, "You did the right thing. The prince has been convicted, but you can't leave now. If you leave now, your reputation will be ruined. If something happens to the prince in the future, you can help him deal with his funeral and then come back. By then, you'd better have a good reputation. So I support you. I will pack your things now. Just like your uncle Li said, you can live in the East Palace for the next few days."

Dewey and his colleagues have a place to rest in their office in the East Palace. Sometimes when they work too late, they can also live in the office. After all, their office is completely separated from the harem of the East Palace, so nothing will happen.

Du Wei didn't say anything else and started packing up. On the other side, Li Mingde and Li Chengyang were also walking home. Li Mingde frowned and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a change. It seems that our plan has failed. We must tell the Elders what to do next. I was thinking about whether I could borrow the power of the prince to remove the poison from our bodies, but I didn't expect that the prince would be in trouble now. We have no chance and can only follow the Elders. But you must think carefully about your marriage with Du Wei. Once the prince is in trouble, Du Wei will be nothing. It would be a big loss if you marry him."

Li Chengyang smiled bitterly and said, "If we break up now, my reputation will be ruined. No matter how bad Du Wei is, he is still a disciple of the Du family. Once my reputation spreads, it will be really over. Father, do you think we have a chance to support Du Wei's development in the Du family? If Du Wei develops well in the Du family in the future, his role may not be less than it is now."

Li Mingde was also very troubled. In fact, the affair between Li Chengyang and Du Wei had already spread in the upper circles, like a legend. Now everyone knew that Li Chengyang and Du Wei had a good relationship and they were even at the stage of discussing marriage. If Li Chengyang broke up with Du Wei, then Li Chengyang's reputation would really be over. For those big families, no one would look for a woman like Li Chengyang to be their daughter-in-law, so Li Chengyang really had no way to separate from Du Wei.

Li Mingde said in a deep voice: "Let's report the matter to the Council of Elders after we go back, and then we can talk about it. Your idea is not bad. If Du Wei can really gain a foothold in the Du family, then his future development will not be bad. But in this way, we will have to invest more, and we don't know whether the people in the Council of Elders will agree. I'm afraid the Council of Elders don't know about this matter. We must report it as soon as possible. The prince can't be counted on here. We must never let the Council of Elders down, otherwise we will really be finished."
