Qin Hanzhen looked at Zhao Mo dumbfounded: "This ...... Is this caused by the dispute between the imperial heirs and the crown prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already decided to pass the children of the successor clan?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "If the East Palace has no heirs and does not accept newcomers, then sooner or later someone will mention it again." Now that the gossip is so loud that even if I repeatedly deny it, not many people want to believe it. At the beginning, several cousins said that they had no intention of saving the throne, and they didn't fight openly and secretly? My father also said that he never had the idea of entering the royal family, but do you think ...... How many people out there would believe it?"

Therefore, Zhao Mo was affected by his father and cousins. In fact, he really had no intention of being the heir of the East Palace, but everyone thought he was pretending to be fishy.

Qin Hanzhen still felt a little ridiculous: "If it is really the Liao Wangfu framed by the people in the clan, it would be too exaggerated to make such a big posture." If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not mention the succession, and the emperor does not mention it, will that person have to wait stupidly all the time? Not to mention anything else, for the sake of selfish interests, he can collude with the enemy country and kill innocent people at will, how can such a character and heart be worthy of being the prince of a country? If such a person is really put on the throne, it is better to let you go up. "At least Zhao Mo won't betray the country.

Zhao Mo paused and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not very old, but the Crown Princess and Prince Liangdi are not young, and their health is not too good. Expecting them to add more children to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid it will be difficult for some strong people. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deeply felt that his wife and concubine had not left him for many years, and his life was not easy, and he was unwilling to accept any new people, and hoped that the heir would be born by the crown princess. But let not force all things in the world. The crown princess and the crown prince Liangdi have been tolerated for several years, but there has been no movement. There is no heir in the East Palace, which will only make the world unstable, and for the sake of the overall situation, it is very important to enter a newcomer. ”

Qin Hanzhen was silent, lifted the chopsticks, and gave Zhao Mo two chopsticks side dishes, the same sour and the same spicy, in fact, he didn't eat much on weekdays, but he still ate it silently, and then wrinkled a bitter face, drank the remaining mutton soup in the bowl, and went to pour tea for himself.

Qin Hanzhen said slowly: "A few years ago, in order to compete for the royal heir, the children of the clan have already fought twice, and it is very reasonable for you to have such a guess." However, this may not be the only answer. Unless that person really has inside information, knows that the prince intends to choose an heir, and regards you as the most threatening competitor, he does not hesitate to hook up with the Beirong people, and risks being accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. You can't completely rule out the possibility that the other party may be the enemy of the Liao Palace. For example, the Shu Wangfu and the Liao Wangfu have a feud. At the beginning, they wanted to threaten the Liao Wangfu to frame your father, so as to eliminate the rivals for the throne of the young son of the King of Shu, but you were not fooled, but instead took their army, and put the Shu Wangfu in trouble. Now that the Shu Wangfu is ruined, if the prince of Shu hates you, it is also human nature. He may retaliate against your father. ”

Zhao Mo took a sip of warm tea, and had to admit that Qin Hanzhen's words made sense. The prince of Shu may not be without suspicion.

He said slowly: "The prince of Shu now lives outside the palace with his wife and children, and he is free to move, and there is no shortage of people around him. Although the land of Shu is no longer owned by the Shu Palace, he should still have a lot of money in his hands, and the concubine's dowry is also very rich, and he returned all of them when he was pardoned. If it is financial, material and human resources, the prince of Shu can set this trap. He can't let people know that he is behind the trouble, and it is estimated that it is because once outsiders know that he reported the Liao Wangfu, they will guess that he is taking revenge. But...... There are a few points here that don't make sense. First, the prince of Shu is just a frustrated person in the clan, and it is true that he has a noble background, but what power can he have now? Beirong secret spy has been in Dazhao for many years, it is impossible not to know his situation, so why should he believe him?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "Second, the prince of Shu and His Royal Highness the crown prince are the same generation, of course it is impossible to succeed the prince as an heir, and he has only one son under his knees, and he is the descendant of the sinner King Shu, what qualifications do you have to fight for the position of the emperor's heir?

Zhao Mo smiled: "This really doesn't make sense. However, if you think that he is taking revenge on the Liao Wangfu and my father, and not for the throne of the emperor, then it makes sense. Maybe he still has an ally, and that ally is the one who really wants to seek the throne?"

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "This kind of speculation is endless." Who else in the clan has close contacts with the prince of Shu now? Even the Shanyang Wangfu is avoiding him, and that is still the former diehard loyalist of the King of Shu. He usually goes in and out of the palace more, and often goes to greet the queen mother, the emperor and the prince. His children are all raised in Cining Palace, and it is normal to enter the palace more. But I really can't figure it out, I have done so many bad things in the Shu king's family, and even the crown prince was almost poisoned by them, how big the royal family must be to succeed the grandson of the king of Shu as the emperor's heir? From this point alone, the son of the prince of Shu is completely disqualified, no matter which family is chosen, it will not be his family's turn. Not only that, I think it is impossible for the Shu Dynasty to gain real power and get in touch with the government, and I don't know how many years later it will take for the descendants to have a chance to come out. Thinking about it this way, is it possible that the prince of Shu is dizzy, so he will let go of the hard-won peaceful life now, but he has to go to the troubled waters of the dispute between the emperor and the heir? Whether he wants to fight for himself or help others to fight, the risk is too great, right? The return is not high. Even if the new heir ascends the throne as emperor, it will have to wait until several decades later. As long as it is not a plot to usurp the throne, who will openly reuse the Shu family?"

Zhao Mo nodded while listening: "Cousin is right. In this way, if the prince of Shu really wants to participate in the battle for the emperor's heir, whether it is to let his son go to the throne or help someone else's son, it would be stupid. ”

Qin Hanzhen persuaded him: "If you don't feel at ease, just send a few people to keep an eye on it." He is different from other clans, he has been raided, the previous territory is in Shu, and there is not much property in the capital, and the things on the surface are checked as soon as they are checked, and the things in the secret, pay attention to the whereabouts of him or his subordinates, it should not be difficult to find out. Few of the servants waiting for his family now came from Shu, and most of them were made up in the capital after being pardoned, and they were basically assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When it comes to enemy countries, I estimate that if the prince of Shu really has dealings with the Beirong people, it is impossible to send these loyal subordinates to contact. In this way, there are not many people who can come in handy. If you keep an eye on it for a while, you should be able to find out something. ”

Zhao Mo said: "It's not good for me to investigate this matter personally, it's okay to send a few people to follow it secretly, but if someone finds out, it will be troublesome." After all, I'm just a clan, and my fiefdom is far away in Suning, unless I have an errand for the city guard or the secret spy department, I am unknown. Although the prince of Shu had parents and brothers who were convicted, he himself had been pardoned by the emperor. Now there is no clear evidence to prove that he colluded with foreign private affairs, and if I act rashly, it is easy to attract the dissatisfaction of the Queen Mother. The rebellion of the Shu Palace, as well as the affairs of the Tu family, the Queen Mother did not intercede for them, which can be said to be well understood. Now that her old man has pity on the children of the prince of Shu, the emperor and His Royal Highness the prince naturally want to give her this face, so it is not too embarrassing for the prince of Shu. ”

Unless he could get clear and unequivocal proof, it would not even be convenient for him to raise his suspicions to the emperor. Especially for something like this involving the dispute between the emperor and the heir, even if he repeatedly stated that he didn't want to succeed to the East Palace, he had to avoid suspicion as much as possible.

As soon as Zhao Mo said this, Qin Hanzhen understood his difficulty, and sighed: "Then forget it." Anyway...... Most of the Beirong secret spies have fallen into the hands of the secret spy department, and after interrogation, some useful clues can always be interrogated. If you pay attention to the leaders of the Beirong secret spies, I don't believe it, I really can't catch the pigtails of the mastermind behind the scenes!"

If it is not the prince of Shu who is found out in the end, then it is naturally better, there is no need to worry about anyone's face, just report the evidence to the top, how to deal with it, it is up to the emperor to decide.

But if it is the prince of Shu who is found out in the end, then with the temper of the queen mother, she will definitely not protect him anymore. Her old man probably pitied the suffering children, but what happened to the prince of Shu might not implicate the women and children. With the queen mother here, what does it matter if the emperor spares two children? The king of Shanyang is alive and well, and it is regarded as the emperor's benevolent living signboard, and it is not a big deal to add two more pro-signboards.

Zhao Mo nodded and said with a smile: "I also think that I have spent so much effort to prepare, how can I still lose to deal with that group of spies who have tricks repeatedly? When the people who wanted to calculate me behind their backs saw this situation, they were so embarrassed that they wanted to vomit blood, right? Without this, I would not have had such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”

Qin Hanzhen was funny when he heard it, and stuffed him with a peeled orange: "Where, after the meal, add more vitamins...... Ahem, eat more fresh food, meat and vegetarian food are good, it is good for your body. ”

Zhao Mo took the orange with a smile and ate it: "It's so sweet!" and stuffed a petal of orange into her mouth. The tips of her fingers touched her lips, and she only felt smooth and soft, and her heart couldn't help but waver. It's a pity that Qin Hanzhen was taken aback by him, and immediately reached out to cover his mouth, otherwise he really wanted to let his fingers stay on it for a while longer.

Qin Hanzhen didn't expect his sudden attack, but she also felt that this thing was ordinary, just chewing on that orange clove, she couldn't help but wrinkle her facial features. This orange is clearly sour, where is it sweet?!

Zhao Mo just smirked and continued to eat oranges, using the hand that gave Qin Hanzhen the oranges, feeling that the more he ate, the sweeter it became.
