Chapter Ninety-Two: Secret Conversations
The prince was silent for a long time and did not answer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Qin Bai didn't mean to change the topic, he just sat there quietly, waiting for the prince to give him an answer.
After a while, the prince smiled: "Where is there so much reason......? It's just a matter of falling in love. When I saw him, I felt that it was right for my eyes. He is also a smart and sensible child, so he is naturally more likable than other children. I had nothing else to do in Jinling except for treatment, and I was surrounded by either the imperial doctor or the guards and attendants, and everyone treated me respectfully, but they also kept etiquette. This is the proper meaning, but for me, it is inevitably boring, it is rare to have such a child as Guanglu to talk to me and relieve boredom. He didn't know my identity before, and I got along with him easily, and I didn't have to worry about identity and etiquette. After a long time, I know his life experience, and I will inevitably feel more sorry for him. ”
The crown prince looked at Qin Bai: "Little uncle doesn't have to worry. I know what you're trying to say. That kind of thing, it's not for me to be the master alone, without the nod of my father, how dare I decide privately?"
These words were vague, but Qin Bai already understood, and he said solemnly: "Since Your Highness knows it in your heart, I will be at ease." ”
The prince sighed and said, "The little uncle actually cares about Guanglu, isn't it? The prince of Liao is too much, how can he exile his eldest son for no reason? Guanglu has already come to Jiangnan, and he still has to urge and remind, as if he is afraid that Guanglu will not stay here for a long time. But I don't look down on such acts. In the past, I was not in good health, and if anything happened, sooner or later my father would have to pass on to the throne as a step-heir. If there are cousins in the clan who are of outstanding character and talent, it is naturally a good thing, and I will never have the slightest jealousy. It's just the prince of Liao...... He can't even restrain his inner dependents, and he still has to look at the face of the Yue family, so how can people rest assured that they will hand over the Jiangshan Sheji to him? When the time comes, will it be our Zhao family or the surname Wang who will be in charge of the country?
The prince's thoughts, Qin Bai also deeply agreed. He actually knew in his heart that the emperor's side had already excluded Zhao Shuo from the list of candidates for the emperor's heir, but he had not let outsiders know. If Zhao Shuo can wake up in time and no longer be the echo worm of the Wang family, the emperor may still train him to become the arm of the new monarch and use him more. But if he fails to get rid of the control of the Wang family, then what awaits him is just the position of an idle king.
Qin Bai told the prince what the emperor meant, and said, "Huang Bai has repeatedly suspected Guanglu, but in fact, there is no need. Before we left Beijing, the prince of Liao had secretly written to him, saying that he had no intention of storing the throne, and that he was only seeking the title of the prince. He has now won the position of the prince, and he will definitely contribute to the court in the future to repay the king's kindness. Although this may not be credible, it is probably just a retreat, but it also means that unless the emperor takes the initiative to promote the prince of Liao, the prince of Liao must not openly fight for the throne, otherwise in the eyes of the emperor, he will become a villain who goes back on his word. If His Highness is in danger at this time, it will not be of any benefit to him. However, the Wang family behind him is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take risks. But Guanglu would never have conspired with the Wang family. Huang Yanshi's suspicions are really unreasonable. ”
The prince smiled: "I didn't believe Jin Cheng's words. He doesn't live here on weekdays, and he doesn't get along with Guanglu much, so he doesn't know what the kid is, so he will misunderstand him. After knowing each other for a long time, he will naturally understand that he has misunderstood Guanglu. He paused, "After I leave Jinling, if Jin Cheng is embarrassed again, please ask my uncle to help persuade me more." After the beginning of spring, my uncle wants to return to Beijing, and please take Guanglu back to Beijing. You don't have to worry about his father blaming him, it's all up to me. I'll come to support him, who dares to drive him to Jiangnan again?"
Qin Bai glanced at the prince deeply: "Does Your Highness really want to do this?" I am afraid that in this way, Zhao Mo will be pushed to the cusp, and there will be no way to live a quiet life again. Everyone knows that the prince looks at him differently, what thoughts will Zhao Shuo have?
The prince smiled slightly: "What's wrong with this? He has done a great job for me this time, and he is willing to take risks to deal with the aftermath for me, and I will reward him with a good life." It's just to protect him in the capital. Although I, the prince of the East Palace, have no ability, and everyone can not take me seriously, but I can still protect his child. ”
Qin Bai sighed again, didn't say anything, and instead instructed the prince to pay attention to the trivial matters when going north.
Among this group of people, there are imperial doctors, chamberlains, cooks, and guards, and they are safe in life. It's just that being away from home is not as comfortable as being at home. Moreover, it is still the first month of the year, and there is ice and snow everywhere, and if the weather is to warm, it will have to wait at least until after the beginning of spring in February. The canal was suspended, and the prince had to walk a long overland journey, and he had to suffer a lot.
Qin Bai himself has a lot of experience in long-distance travel, so he can naturally teach the prince a lot of tricks. He even planned to take a copy of the travel medicine reserve he had prepared and present it to the crown prince, just in case.
When the prince and Qin Bai were talking in the study, Qin Jian was pulling Zhao Mo to whisper in a corner of the small garden.
Qin Jian complained: "You are really crazy! Why do you say those words? If you say it, you can't go back, so many people have heard it! How do you know that no one among them will spread these words to your father's ears? Although he is not good to you, he is still your father after all." If he just banishes you and ignores you, you can live a quiet life for a few years. But if he holds a grudge against you and has the heart to torment you, how can you resist it as a son?!"
Zhao Mo just smiled: "It's not a big deal." He doesn't remember to hate me, and my situation is no different. Besides, the people I want to denounce are all henchmen of the Wang family. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if these people have no control, he will not do anything to them. If these people are not clean in the first place...... That's what do they have to do with me?"
Qin Jian sighed and sighed, and also complained a little about Huang Jincheng: "Uncle Jin Cheng doesn't know what's wrong, he doesn't care about that Li Yanchao, but he has to get along with you." Aren't you just an uneasy father? That's not what you want, so why does he have to think badly of people?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "It's not unreasonable for him to think so." ”
Qin Jian gave him a blank look: "You still speak for him." You don't have any bad intentions at all, but he targets you everywhere, and you say that he is not unreasonable. Are you so angry that you're confused?"
Zhao Mo glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Where did Qin Jian understand his thoughts? He had just confessed his thoughts in front of the crown prince, but it was intentional, and the purpose was not so simple. The prince was treated in Jinling, and with the rejuvenation of Dr. Ye's skillful hand, his health has obviously improved. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is rumored to be so sick that he can't even get out of bed and can't even be seen by outsiders, can actually play around lively, and his temperament, knowledge and talent are stronger than ordinary people - at least Zhao Mo thinks he is stronger than his father. Such a crown prince, after returning to the capital safely, is naturally in a stable position. Where else is there anything about the succession of the emperor?
Father Zhao Shuo's extravagant hopes are destined to fail, but fortunately, he has already won the name of the prince of Liao, and he has shown the emperor that he has "no intention" to compete for the prince, and it will not be a problem to be a virtuous king under the prince in the future. The prince treats his nephew very well now, as long as the prince does not suspect him, there will be nothing wrong with his father Zhao Shuo. Zhao Shuo is an indecisive person, but he also knows how to judge the situation and will not do anything that angers the will of the superiors.
As for the Wang family, Zhao Mo sued the Wang family in front of the prince today, if the Wang family is honest in the future, if they are not honest, can the prince still allow them to covet their position again and again?
Zhao Mo knew that his biological father was unreliable, and now that he could form a good relationship with the prince, his life would definitely be better in the future. He has no ambitions, just wants to have a peaceful life in the future. It would be more appropriate if he could get a good clan title when he grew up. As for the position of the grandson of the Liao king, he didn't bother to fight for it.
He does have some impure thoughts in this matter, Huang Jincheng is suspicious of him, naturally it is not unreasonable, but he will never be unfavorable to the prince.
Zhao Mo retracted his thoughts and continued to listen to Qin Jian, who was still making amends for Huang Jincheng: "Uncle Jin Cheng doesn't know what's going on lately, it seems that he is always in a bad mood. I think it's probably his niece's family that's going on in trouble, right? A few days ago, I was living in Qinzhuang, and I heard that Zong Fang Ke had an awkward quarrel with his mother's family with his aunt. Her mother's father and brother returned to their hometown in Yangzhou to visit relatives a few years ago. She didn't agree to this, but her mother's father and brother ignored her intentions, so they went without permission, and they didn't go to the sect house to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year. Aunt Keyong has been a little yin and yang these days, I heard that she often sends people to Uncle Jin Cheng to make noise, and Uncle Jin Cheng is probably annoyed by her, so he doesn't have a good face for others. This time he was really wrong, he can't turn a corner, I'll make you a compensatory for him first, don't be surprised. When he wakes up in the future, he will naturally understand that he was very wrong. ”
Zhao Mo smiled: "This is not necessary. In fact, he is also responsible, even if he thinks a little wrong, it is because he doesn't know my temperament. I didn't blame him. In my opinion, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can trust me, that will be enough. I knew his identity before, but I still pretended not to know, which was rude. But His Highness did not care about me, and said many words to reassure me, and my heart was glad. ”
He sighed: "I think I used to think too much, so I suffered from gains and losses, and repeatedly did stupid things. My third cousin cleared me up and made me understand my mistakes, and now I finally made the right decision. I'm in a good mood now, Brother Jane, you really don't have to worry about me. ”
Qin Jian was surprised: "Did you really tell the third sister about it? What does she know as a little girl? You are too bold! What if she tells His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Zhao Mo smiled: "She won't." She knows what to say and what not to say. ”
