For some unknown reason, the thirteen-year-old Crown Prince had an inexplicable trust in Su Jingchen.
The companions of the Crown Prince on this journey noticed that he consulted with Su Jingchen before making any decision, which made them quite critical of the Crown Prince.
Even though he was young, as a Prince, shouldn't he have his own opinions, rather than being led around by a Salt Transport Envoy?
This Yangzhou is not Su Jingchen's domain; above him is Second-rank Cao Yunsi, Master Zhao. The fact that the Crown Prince valued Su Jingchen more than Cao Yunsi Master Zhao made many people criticize.
In the path of officialdom, not doing wrong is better; doing less means fewer mistakes. Su Jingchen understood this well, but he could not bring himself to ignore the displaced citizens of Huainan.
