Chapter 273: Continuous Urging
When Zhao Mo returned to the main cabin, his expression was very complicated, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, but revealed a bit of mockery.
Qin Hanzhen asked him, "How is it? Did that Chang'er tell you the truth?"
He said. Zhao Mo said lightly, "It's just a scare, and he said it, after all, he's just a coward." ”
Chang'er would say those words to him, simply because he wanted to make him angry, so that he refused to obey his father's orders and returned to the capital immediately. In this way, his father Zhao Shuo will definitely be angry with him. Mrs. Xiao Wang has just given birth and needs to recuperate, and her body is weak. Since Madame is unable to take charge of the middle feed, the family must need someone who can come forward to do it for her. And he, the eldest young master, will not go back to sit in town, Zhao Shuo will be busy with government affairs, and naturally only Aunt Lan will be able to take on such a heavy responsibility. Aunt Lan hopes to be in charge of internal affairs from now on, so naturally she doesn't want anyone to go back to get in the way. Let Chang'er stir up a few words in front of Zhao Mo, which can just separate the feelings between Zhao Shuo and Zhao Mo's father and son.
Although Zhao Mo is the eldest son, he is not treated by his father, and the little Wang family in the main room has a miscarriage, and now in the backyard, only Aunt Lan has a son, who is loved by Zhao Shuo. From now on, this son may be able to replace the eldest brother and become Zhao Shuo's most valued son.
What a wishful thinking!
Zhao Mo was angry and funny in his heart. Lan Xue would have such careful thoughts, it is not surprising that if she were a fuel-efficient lamp, she would not have won against Xiao Wang's family again and again over the years since she entered Beijing, so that Xiao Wang's family fell out of favor with Zhao Shuo day by day, but she and her son became more and more valued. The problem is that Zhao Shuo called his son back, not really for the reason that there was no one in the inner house, but because he wanted to use the friendship between Zhao Mo and the East Palace to get out for himself. Zhao Shuo was so anxious that he didn't even give face to Yongjiahou Qin Bai, which shows how desperately he needs his eldest son. Lan Xue, as his beloved concubine, actually ignored his situation, and blocked Zhao Mo's way for the trivial matter of the inner house fight? Does she know that her actions will hurt Zhao Shuo's interests?
Zhao Shuo's calculations may be clear to everyone in the family, but not everyone may know what he is doing and what kind of situation he is facing. Lan Xue is just an inner house woman, and she may not know anything about the outside world at all. And although Chang'er is Zhao Shuo's henchman, his henchmen are also different from his henchmen. The little guy only needs to help do some rough work, just run errands, and don't need to get involved in anything important at all, and maybe he doesn't know anything about Zhao Shuo's situation. So these two people joined hands and dragged Zhao Shuo back.
Zhao Mo just wanted to mock his father in his heart at the moment, he had great ambitions and ambitions, but he didn't manage the people around him, and the people next to him and his henchmen actually dug up his wall in a daze. Wouldn't it be a joke if one day the wall collapsed because of this? Can he take a look around him, look at his feet, and discipline the people around him before he realizes his ambitions?
After listening to Zhao Mo's narration, Qin Bai and Qin Hanzhen were also a little speechless. What is this called? Zhao Shuo spoiled his concubine so much that the other party lost his brain, and he stupidly and ignorantly dug a pit for his husband, could it be regarded as retribution? Without Zhao Shuo's acquiescence, the Xiao Wang clan would not have repeatedly threatened Zhao Mo's life. Similarly, without Zhao Mo's support, Lan Xue would not have the confidence to plot against the Xiao Wang clan in the main room. There must be a cause and an effect, Zhao Shuo will be pampered by a concubine, and he really can't blame others. This is all connived at by himself.
Qin Bai thought for a while: "Ling Zun, this concubine, I remember that Shaoying mentioned to me in the past that she had a suspicious appearance in Longfu Temple. At that time, we all suspected that she was in collusion with Ling Zun's henchman named Fusheng. It stands to reason that Chang'er is just a small guy, and it is possible that he doesn't know Ling Zun's current situation. Aunt Lan is an inner house woman, and she may not know much about external affairs. But Fusheng shouldn't have been unaware, why didn't he remind Aunt Lan?"
Zhao Mo said: "I also noticed that Chang'er's words are full of untruths. I remember that Lan Fusheng once came to Chengenhou Mansion to look for me, saying that he was afraid that I would not be called, so he wanted to leave Chang'er by my side and wait. I rejected him at the time, and I didn't think much of it. But looking back now, if Chang'er would have obeyed Aunt Lan's orders and done such a stupid thing, she might have been bought by them a long time ago. And Lan Fusheng would recommend Chang'er to me at that time, most likely because of the idea of planting ears and ears around me. He told me that it was because he saw that his father doted on Aunt Lan, and that Aunt Lan had a son. ”
Qin Hanzhen frowned: "What can be rich and noble in the future? The prince is good, your father will be a prince at most in the future, his concubine, his biological mother is still a girl in a room, it would be good to be crowned a county king, even if Chang'er defected to the past? Could it be that this county king can promise him a bright future more than your father, the prince?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "He said, at that time, he didn't know that the prince's illness could be cured, and he thought that my father would definitely be able to enter the East Palace." "If Zhao Shuo can enter the East Palace, he will become the emperor in the future, and whoever inherits the throne among the princes will be the emperor's final say. Even if Zhao Mo is the eldest son, it is useless not to be favored by his father. Even if Zhao Qi is the concubine born to a girl, as long as he has the support of his father, no matter how low his background is, he can be on the throne. When Chang'er said this, it meant that he was betting on Zhao Qi and wanted to win a dragon skill.
It's just that in this way, the time is not right, right? Chang'er and Lan Fusheng became accomplices, it should be much earlier than Zhao Mo went down to Jiangnan, otherwise Lan Fusheng would not have placed him next to Zhao Mo at the beginning. Chang'er is lying!
Zhao Mo said: "I guess it's not exactly lying, it's just that there are more lies than the truth." Lan Xue wanted to fight for the power of Zhongfu and plot against Xiao Wang's family, most of which was true, but I didn't bother to pry Chang'er's mouth open and let him tell more truths, so I asked him directly where Lan Fusheng was? Lan Fusheng was by my father's side, and he had always been in charge of all the affairs of the inner court, even if there was no female dependant in the family to preside over Zhongfu, with him, there would be no big problem. Of course, I knew that he and Lan Xue were most likely accomplices, but Lan Xue was stupid, and he didn't remind him, which was wrong. I suspect something happened to him!"
Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked, "Did Chang'er say what was going on?"
Zhao Mo nodded: "He said it vaguely and vaguely, but he still said that Lan Fusheng was driven back to Zhuangzi in Liaodong for making a mistake not long after the year, and it has been almost two months since he left the capital." I think that Lan Xue instructed Chang'er to do something stupid in front of me, probably on her own, and she didn't discuss it with Lan Fusheng. She didn't know her father's worries, which is why she made such a mistake. I'm going to write a letter to my father, and send my own people to deliver it, so that he knows what kind of goods are around him!" he snorted coldly, "This is also my filial duty as a son." I can't do anything else, remind him not to let the people around him drag him back, beware of henchmen being bought by the woman in the back house, it's still no problem. ”
Qin Bai sighed lowly, and he was even more optimistic about Zhao Shuo in his heart. He is ambitious and incapable, and he doesn't even manage the people around him, so how can he succeed? I just hope that he won't be too stupid and will burden his innocent son.
Qin Hanzhen continued to pull Zhao Mo and asked, "What mistake did Lan Fusheng make, could it be that your father found out that he was suspicious?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "I really can't ask about this." Chang'er only said that he didn't know, everything was done by my father, and I couldn't force him to ask, so I could only let him go down first. But this person, I'm not going to put it back. When I return to Beijing to see my father, I will hand them back to him directly, whether to continue to reuse them or impose heavy penalties, all according to his wishes. ”
Qin Bai groaned slightly: "I'll write a letter to Ling Zun to explain what happened, and save him from misunderstanding that we detained his people." You will also have to write a letter and send it to Beijing when the time comes, but you should stay and take the ship. ”
And so it was settled. The people sent by Zhao Mo set off early the next morning and rode north to the capital on a fast horse. At this time, they were only more than 800 miles away from the capital, and even if the fast horses sent out were not as fast as the 800 miles of the imperial court, it was quite easy to run 2 or 300 miles a day. It is only a matter of five or six days to send a letter back and forth to the capital, and there will be a response soon. Zhao Mo also sent a letter to his people in the capital, asking them to pay attention to the news of Lan Fusheng.
The Qin fleet continued unhurriedly along the canal north, passing through Linqing and then to Dezhou. Qin Hanzhen didn't know if Zhao Shuo had received a letter from his eldest son Zhao Mo, but the letter he sent to urge Zhao Mo to return to Beijing came once every two days, and then he became more and more anxious, almost every day there was a letter, and the tone in the letter became more and more impatient, he seemed to be very angry, and he still had some disrespectful words to Yongjiahou Qin Bai, so he almost didn't say that Qin Bai was not qualified to detain his son and refused to let people go back to fulfill his filial piety.
Qin Bai didn't see it, and he was still calm, but Zhao Mo's face was getting gloomy day by day. He respected Qin Bai in his heart, how could he tolerate his father slandering Qin Bai so much for his own selfishness? And he mentioned such an important matter in the letter he sent back to Beijing, but his father didn't mention a word in the letter, and he didn't even ask why Chang'er didn't go back, what did his father mean by this?!
Zhao Mo said to Qin Hanzhen in private: "I sometimes really wonder if my father has no heart? That Lan Xue clearly harbored evil intentions, and stupidly almost ruined his business, why didn't he say a word to punish her? !
Qin Hanzhen was actually aggrieved for him, but he didn't dare to add fuel to the fire at this time, so he kept comforting him: "He has no vision, no brains, doesn't know your benefits, and doesn't understand your hard work." He was unlucky, and he brought it on himself. You've done your best, you're worthy of him, and you don't need to be angry with him. If you are angry with yourself, your father will not feel sorry for you, and it is you who suffers. ”
Zhao Mo was a little angry, but his face was still tight, and he couldn't be happy.
Qin Hanzhen simply diverted his attention: "My father just sent someone from Guangzhou to deliver a letter from home, and there is a letter specially for me." How about Cousin Zhao accompany me to read the letter?"
But this is not the meaning of the outside. Zhao Mo suddenly softened his face, and showed a little smile: "Then what's embarrassing, that's a letter from my cousin to my cousin - the front cabin is brighter, facing the river, and the scenery is good." Shall we go there and read the letter? Ask the girl for tea and snacks. ”
Qin Hanzhen laughed when he heard it: "Okay!"
