Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chen Zhongshu shook his head, ”This is Your Majesty’s family affair; this old servant wouldn’t dare to comment excessively.”

”Speak if I ask you to,” Emperor Yanping said dissatisfied.

Chen Zhongshu was all good, with just one flaw – his excessive caution.

But it was precisely because of his caution that he had gained Emperor Chengping’s trust and now could be relied upon by Emperor Yanping to serve by his side.

Chen Zhongshu considered for a moment and then said, ”If Your Majesty has no intention of sparking a rivalry between the princes, then it would be best to have Prince Ning leave the capital to take a fief.”

Emperor Yanping let out a long sigh, ”Then let him be assigned a fief.”

”Convey my decree, due to Prince Ning’s unbecoming conduct, he is to be confined for three months to reflect upon his actions. After three months, he will leave the capital to take up his fiefdom!”

”Yes, Your Majesty!” Chen Zhongshu complied.
