Zhao Yan looked coldly at the situation when his mother and brother got along, and he only felt that it was extremely unsightly.

Obviously, he should be his mother's favorite son, but now, only Zhao Li is left in his mother's eyes. And the culprit of all this is Zhao Li's ruthlessness!

After the Liao King gave the girl a rambling order, he looked back at his wife and children, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Chen family's family is too low. Even if Chen Liangdi once gave birth to a royal grandson, the child had already died, and she was never pregnant again. In the past, the Chen family was only dependent on the Tang family in order to gain a foothold in the court. But since Chen Liangdi gave birth to a grandson, but the crown princess has not been pregnant for a long time, the Chen family has become more and more arrogant, and they are not willing to listen to the instructions of the Tang family. After so many years, the emperor and grandson are gone, and the Chen family has not been promoted, which has made the Tang family even more disgusted, and few of those civil officials take their family seriously. Li'er is also the prince's concubine, how can he be so aggrieved and marry their daughter's wife? Even if there is a Chen Liangdi in his family, she is just a concubine in the East Palace! What kind of person is on the card? Some of the famous families in Beijing are suitable ladies. Princess, will you think about it again?"

The step-concubine of the king of Liao said to him angrily: "Could it be that I am willing to wronged my son? Isn't this all for the position of the prince? Although the daughter of the Chen family is from a lower background, it is almost the same to be a house-filler. As long as you can become in-laws with the Chen family, and then ask Chen Liangdi to say good things in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, you must abolish your eldest son who has no interest! That evil obstacle once thought about the position of the prince, and when I heard that it was related to the case of King Ninghua some time ago, the East Palace must be extremely disgusted with him! With Chen Liangdi talking about it for us, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not speak up to the emperor? As long as we can take back the position of the prince, it will not hurt for Li'er to be a little more general in marriage. Besides, I won't marry him Zhong Wuyan back, it must be a beautiful concubine!"

Zhao Li also smiled and said to his father: "Father, don't worry, my mother will not wronged me, although the daughter of the Chen family is a little worse, but now the position of the son is more important, as long as I can take back the position of the son of the world and marry Zhong Wuyan, in fact, I am also willing, and it is a big deal to take a few more beautiful concubines in the future." When this daughter-in-law marries back, as long as things go well, I will look at Chen Liangdi's face and coax my daughter-in-law for a few years. If she can satisfy us, then let her always be the wife of the prince of the Liao Palace, and it is okay. But if she can't satisfy us, in a few years, let her die of illness in Liaodong, and her mother's family is in Beijing, what can she know?" he turned his head and smiled at his mother, "When the time comes, my mother must marry me a daughter from a real family!"

The step-concubine of the king of Liao smiled: "What's so difficult about this? As long as you sit on the throne of the prince of the king of Liao, which daughter of the family you want to marry can't succeed? That is, now, you are not in the throne of the prince, and outsiders will look down on you, so you will not be able to marry a suitable person." ”

Zhao Li also felt that this was the case, but he was still a little dissatisfied: "Those things that look down on people with dogs' eyes! Even if I am not the son of the world at the moment, I am also the son of my father and the prince! Why do they look down on me?!"

The step-concubine of the king of Liao hurriedly comforted her son: "It's okay." Those people have no eyes, so we don't have to deal with them. When you are crowned the son of the world, those people will naturally have nothing to say, and they will turn around to curry favor with you!"

Zhao Li laughed when he heard this, and his expression was quite proud.

Zhao Yan poured cold water at this time: "It may not be difficult to abolish the prince, but it is not easy to make the second brother the son, right? It's only been a few years? Could it be that the mother and the second brother are counting on the people of the court to forget all about the past?"

Zhao Li's face suddenly drooped, and he turned around and said to his younger brother in a cold voice: "Zhao Shuo has committed the great crime of rebellion, and he should have been abolished! The elder and the youngest are orderly, and he will count me as the eldest after that, and I am a descendant, if you don't make me the son of the world, who will you appoint? Is it difficult to establish you? You are not innocent, and you are embarrassed to laugh at me? You don't look at what you are like now! I haven't heard of the prince of the prince's mansion being a cripple!"

Zhao Yan's face suddenly darkened, and his left hand subconsciously pressed his left thigh, only to feel that his knee was still aching. He sneered: "No prince of the prince's mansion is a cripple, but no prince of the prince's mansion is a sinner who has been in the prison of the Zongren Mansion! Is it possible that my brother thinks that it is still five years ago? You have such a stain on you, and you still expect to be the son of the world? I think you might as well expect your mother to give birth to a younger brother earlier, so that you can compete with Zhao Shuo for the position of the prince! Otherwise, Zhao Shuo will certainly not be treated by the emperor and the prince, but he has a good son, maybe the emperor will abolish Zhao Shuo's position as the son of the prince and set up a grandson, it is unknown. Anyway, it's not our turn, what are you proud of here?!"

"You!" Zhao Li suddenly turned around and stood up, and was stopped by his mother, the step-concubine of King Liao, shouting loudly: "Okay! Shut up for me! The brothers should get along in harmony, what are you arguing about?!"

Zhao Li complained to her: "Mother, what do you think the third brother said? He is the same mother as me, but instead he wants to laugh at me and say good things about Zhao Shuo's father and son, where in the world is there a younger brother like him? ”

The step-concubine of the king of Liao frowned and reprimanded lightly: "Okay, this is your own brother, he is young and ignorant, what do you care about you? If he doesn't come with him, will he be asked to marry the daughter of a rich man over there in Liaodong? Or let him marry the daughter of a subordinate official of the palace?!"

Zhao Li pursed his lips, glanced at his younger brother with an unkind expression, and turned his head away with a sneer.

The anger in Zhao Yan's heart is getting stronger and stronger. He knew that his mother would definitely protect his brother, because although his brother had a stain on his body, he was a man with sound limbs and healthy health, unlike him, who had become a cripple because of falling from a horse! Not to mention whether it would be his turn to be the son of the world, he was afraid that it would be difficult to guarantee that he would be able to get a better title in the future.

And all this was caused by Zhao Li! If he hadn't tricked him into riding a horse outside the city, how could he have fallen off his horse? He had already had people check the horse he was riding at that time, and someone had someone do it in the saddle. It's a pity that when these evidences were brought to his parents, they said that he was thinking too much and was not willing to punish his brother at all. He also understood that it was because he was crippled, and they only had Zhao Li, a healthy son, left, and didn't want him to make any mistakes. But he is also their son, and he was once very favored by them, is he sacrificed in vain?!

Originally, if he hadn't broken his leg and became a cripple, he would have been more sure to win the position of the son of this world. He didn't rebel, and he didn't stay in the prison of the Zongren Mansion, even if he had made a little trouble, he was still young at that time, and the consequences were not serious, it was nothing. When the first two elder brothers could not become the prince of the Liao Wangfu, he, the youngest son, could not have been more justifiable, but who knew that everything was ruined by Zhao Li! If the elder brother did not mean it, Zhao Yan really didn't believe it. Otherwise, their brothers have been out of harmony for a few years, and Zhao Li wants to take revenge on him, so he will do it a long time ago, and he will not wait until his father, the princess, and the princess will now mention the matter of changing their sons, and then set a trap for him. Zhao Li was obviously afraid that his younger brother would rob him of the throne of the world, so he made a poisonous move!

Zhao Yan hated it in his heart, he glared at his brother fiercely, then looked at his mother with disappointed eyes, then turned around and limped out.

The King of Liao frowned and said to his second son: "Why are you so mean when you talk to your brother? You know that he has been injured in the leg, and his temper is a little strange. If he says two cool words, it will not be of much trouble to you, so why should you bother with him? If you ignore him, he will find it boring, so he will naturally stop talking. It's like this now, and the good brothers are all out of their hearts. When you inherit the palace in the future, don't you need a trusted sibling to help you?"

Zhao Li complained: "Father, he was the one who denounced me back then! If it weren't for him, how could I be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion? You said that I was mean to him, how could he have ever had a brotherhood with me? You don't need to say it anymore, I have the heart to be a good brother, but when I meet such a vicious and ruthless brother, I dare not get close to him, for fear that when he will calculate me again, I will never be able to turn over." ”

The step-concubine of the King of Liao protected her son: "Don't talk about Li'er, the prince." Although Yan'er is pitiful, this is not a reason for him to disrespect his brother. Yan'er always felt that Li'er hurt him when he fell off the horse, but you and I both know that it was really an accident and had nothing to do with Li'er!"

Does it really have nothing to do with Zhao Li? King Liao himself didn't dare to pack tickets. It's just that he looked at his wife's loving expression when she looked at her second son, and he knew that he couldn't persuade her. He sighed and said nothing more

He went out of the house, called a confidant, ordered the other party to look for Zhao Yan, and then stayed by Zhao Yan's side to stare at him, waited for him, and persuaded him to go back to the main courtyard before eating.

When the little guy left, he called the steward again, and suddenly saw that the head of the palace in the capital and several stewards with heads and faces had changed, except for the steward of the porter and the inner kitchen, he almost none of them could be named, so he had to let each of them introduce themselves, and talk about their respective origins and relatives and friends. In this way, after more than half an hour, the King of Liao finally figured out who there were in this palace now.

Some of them have just been transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for less than a month. The King of Liao asked who those people belonged to and how they were assigned to the Liao Palace, and then he was very surprised to hear the name of his eldest son, Zhao Shuo.

These people were reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs by Zhao Shuo, the son of the King of Liao, pointing out that the Liao Wangfu in the capital was short of manpower, and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some people to make up for it. The people sent by the internal affairs office according to the rules only arrived half a month ago, and now they have just recognized the roads and servants within the palace, and they are immediately asked to start doing things, which is actually a bit reluctant, and they can only practice in less important matters first. Fortunately, Zhao Shuo, the prince of the world, has always trusted them very much, and is willing to put them in good positions, and gradually began to learn the way of stewardship and housekeeping, otherwise they would not have sat in their current position so quickly.

Some of them also mentioned that the prince Zhao Shuo had been living at home before, but the grandson Zhao Mo moved out and lived in the house he bought in Beijing.

King Liao had already thought that there were so many people in the palace, and he was afraid that he would have a relationship with his eldest son. He was angry in his heart, thinking that Zhao Shuo was calculating him. He immediately called his subordinates: "Go and call Zhao Shuo to me!"

The subordinate was a little trembling: "Go back to the prince, the prince...... He is not in the palace, he ...... He's moved back to his own house. ”
