The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 58: Understanding the People's Sentiments

Chili oil?

Yun Ting was at a loss, not knowing what this thing was.

"What a bunch of nonsense!"

Yun Ting let out a cold snort, looking at Yun Zheng with a warning expression. "I know you've just achieved merit and are basking in favor! But you'd better know your place! You may be proud now, but when Father Emperor forgets about you in a while, hmph..."

The words that followed, Yun Ting did not say.

But the meaning is self-evident.

"Fourth brother, you're confused again, aren't you?"

Yun Zheng slowly stood up and walked in front of Yun Ting, staring at him intently, making Yun Ting feel inexplicably uneasy.

"What are you doing? Stay away from me!"

Yun Ting scolded with irritation.

"Oh, I just want to remember the sound of Fourth Brother's voice and his smiling face!"

Yun Zheng wrinkled his nose and sighed.

"Voice and... smile?"

Yun Ting's forehead throbbed with veins as he coldly asked, "What, do you want to kill me?"

Isn't the sound of their voice and the appearance of their smile meant for the dead?

This dog thing!

Relying on the merits they've earned, they actually dare to speak to me like this at a time when they are favored?

"Fourth brother, why do you say that?"

Yun Zheng looked at Yun Ting innocently, "Fourth Brother, have you forgotten? Father has decreed that after my wedding, I must go to Shuo Bei! I'll remember your voice and smile first. If I die in Shuo Bei, when I reach the underworld, I can often think of your voice and smile..."

Yun Ting's face twitched slightly.

Why does that sound so creepy?

Who the hell misses him?

"Don't mention anything about her voice, image, or smile to me anymore!"

The veins on Yun Ting's forehead throbbed as he said with a dark expression, "The sounds, looks, and smiles are meant for the dead!"

"Ah?"

Yun Zheng feigned surprise, then quickly put on a shy expression, "Fourth Brother, my literary talent is lacking, I don't really understand these things, so please don't take it to heart! Anyway, the meaning is just this..."

Yun Zheng spoke with such genuine emotion that Yun Ting's expression softened slightly, and he said with a hint of bitterness, "Father is currently so fond of you; how could he bear to send you to the North?"

"Fourth brother, please don't comfort me anymore." Yun Zheng gently shook his head, "This matter, Father Emperor has issued a decree! If I don't go to Shobei, wouldn't that be defying the order?"

"Stop pretending to be confused here!"

Yun Ting coldly snorted, "I'm afraid Father Emperor will issue an edict again, not allowing you to go to Shuo Bei."

Yun Ting is now extremely jealous of Yun Zheng.

God knows how this useless person could have such good luck?

Just by reading a broken ancient book, I achieved three accomplishments in a few days.

Why does such a good thing never happen to me?

"Since it is an imperial decree, how can it be changed at a moment's notice?"

Yun Zheng gently shook his head, "Fourth Brother, I understand. Father Emperor gave me the authority to privately recruit soldiers because he wants those men to be my personal guards, to accompany me to the North..."

"Ah... this..."

Yun Ting paused slightly, unable to help but begin to ponder.

It seems he has a point if he wants to say it that way!

Is Father Emperor really determined to send the sixth prince to the North?

"Old Six, don't overthink it."

Yun Ting patted Yun Zheng's shoulder, putting on a display of deep brotherly affection, "You're about to get married soon, so let's talk about it after the wedding!"

When he spoke these words, Yun Ting suddenly froze.

What's going on?

Aren't I here to put an end to the recent arrogance of the sixth brother?

How did I end up comforting him instead?

"Mm mm, thank you, Fourth Brother."

Yun Zheng nodded and enthusiastically said, "Fourth Brother, why don't you all join us for a meal! The chance to have a meal with Fourth Brother is one less every time I get to do it."

"No, no!"

Yun Ting waved his hand, "You all eat, we'll just go to the other side!"

Saying this, Yun Ting beckoned a few people to go to the other side.

Eating with these two good-for-nothings, he finds it embarrassing!

If Lao Liu were to suddenly say a few more things later about remembering his voice and smile, he would feel quite creeped out!

As soon as a few people sat down, they eagerly began to ask Yun Ting questions out of curiosity.

"Fourth Prince, has His Majesty really issued an order for the Sixth Prince to go to the North?"

"The north is now a time of great turmoil; if the Sixth Prince goes there, isn't he just courting death?"

"Yes, I heard that His Highness the Sixth Prince made the national master of Beihuan so furious that he spat blood. If His Highness goes to Shobei, Beihuan will definitely do everything possible to take His Highness's life..."

A few people were filled with curiosity, continuously discussing among themselves.

Although their voices were not loud, the people around could hear them clearly.

At this moment, more people began to discuss this matter.

Yun Zheng's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

This is exactly the effect he wanted!

It's just that I want to spread this matter through these people's words!

To use public opinion to pressure Emperor Wen, forcing him to allow him to go to the northern frontier!

"Your Highness, are you really going to the North?"

At this moment, Zhang Xu quietly asked again.

"Well, this is the Emperor's decree."

Yun Zheng nodded seriously, "Forget it, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's continue discussing the collaboration."

As he spoke, Yun Zheng began discussing the matter of cooperation with Zhang Xu again.

Zhang Xu scratched his head, feeling secretly doubtful.

Isn't he going to the North to hunt?

What business are you still partnering with yourself in?

Did he want to earn a little more money to leave more inheritance for Shen Luoyan?

I'm sorry, but it seems you haven't provided any source text to translate. Please provide the text you'd like me to translate, and I'll be happy to assist you!

For the next two days, Yun Zheng practiced martial arts in the mansion in the morning and spent the afternoons hanging out with Zhang Xu.

Over the course of two days, Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu came up with quite a few fun gadgets.

The Da Qian Dynasty's disdain for strange and clever techniques was even greater than that of ancient Huaxia.

Many playthings that were common in ancient Huaxia were absent during the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, Yun Zheng had his reservations, and what he produced were merely trivial distractions that led to a loss of ambition.

Kites, the Huarong Road puzzle, shuttlecocks, and cuju, all of them were created.

Don't be fooled by how fat Zhang Xu has become; this guy is truly a hands-on expert.

Many things created by Yun Zheng can be improved slightly to become even more useful.

Zhang Xu also followed Yun Zheng's suggestion, producing multiple items at once to sell.

After all, most of the things they created are not very technically sophisticated and are very easy to replicate.

Only when others are absent can they make a fortune.

Once others have replicated it, they won't be able to make much money anymore.

In Yun Zheng's words, if you're going to eat, you should fill up with the first bite!

Just as Yun Zheng was about to leave, Zhang Xu called out to him.

"I'm going to the Qunfang Garden tonight to attend a poetry gathering. Your Highness, would you like to join me?"

Zhang Xu's eyes blinked vigorously, wearing a lewd smile.

In the past couple of days spent together, Zhang Xu realized that Yun Zheng was simply to his taste.

Unknowingly, Zhang Xu had come to regard Yun Zheng as his best friend.

"This..."

Yun Zheng hesitated slightly, "I'm about to get married, going to a brothel doesn't seem right, does it?"

"Ah, what's the big deal?"

Zhang Xu waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "Your Highness has been secluded in the palace for too long; you really need to pay more attention to the people's feelings and understand their hardships!"

What the hell!

This guy actually dared to say what I wanted to say?

This guy is not unlearned at all!

Clearly, it's a genius!

"Cough cough..."

Yun Zheng coughed lightly twice and nodded, saying, "What you say makes sense. This prince should indeed go and understand the people's sentiments, and by the way, appreciate the talents of our great Qian's scholars!"

"Yes, yes..."

Zhang Xu nodded repeatedly..
