Chapter 338: Instigation
When Zhao Yan came to the door again the next day, he simply asked Zhao Mo for help. He wants to settle in the capital, he wants to ask for a clan title, and it doesn't matter if it's low. He is still young, and there is hope that his leg will be healed, and there is always a chance to rise again in the future. But he hopes to be knighted next spring and have time to stay in Beijing to treat his legs.
Zhao Mo smiled: "This is not difficult. Since the third uncle has spoken, I will do my best. The level of the title depends on the emperor's will, and it is not something I can control. But it is not difficult to get you into the list of knights of the Mingchun Clan. After the Wanshou Festival, there should be a quasi-letter, you just have to stay in the capital, don't go back to Liaodong with the prince and princess. The Liaowang Mansion is a ready-made residence, but if you are worried that the second uncle will leave people to do things and deliberately hinder your affairs, I also have an idle property here, which can be lent to the third uncle for a year and a half. It's just that the manpower to be called needs to be solved by the third uncle himself, and I will leave a porter at most, and I don't care about the side of me. ”
Zhao Mo left the door RV, in fact, it means to keep his ears and eyes. But when Zhao Yan heard it, he felt that this was his calm mind, and he would not place people around him, which meant to avoid suspicion, and he was even more moved in his heart: "I still can't trust you? You will never be a person like Zhao Li." If you are willing to lend me the house, I am already very grateful. Moving out to live can really be quieter, so I don't have to be afraid that someone will plot against me. I'm not going to be polite to you. You and my uncle and nephew have had many conflicts and discords in the past, and now that I think about it, I am narrow-minded, and I was confused by my mother and Zhao Li, and I am dedicated to Zhao Li's position as the son, so I will do everything possible to get along with you. In fact, if you think about it carefully, what kind of grudge can I have with you Lao Tzu? Even if the position of the son of the world can't reach your Lao Tzu's hands, it can't reach my hands either, so why should I have trouble getting along with you for Zhao Li's kind of mean and unkind people? In the past, it was my fault, and the third uncle gave you compensation. ”
But then he made it clear: "Your Lao Tzu is hateful, and I will not make amends to him." ”
Zhao Mo smiled dumbly, waved his hand casually, and made a smile and hatred.
However, he still gave Zhao Yan some ideas: "Even if the third uncle has a knighthood in the future, he can get a sum of money every year, but he may not be able to live comfortably in the capital, and he still needs to have some money or property in his hands." Taking advantage of the fact that the matter has not yet reached the ears of the prince and princess, the third uncle thinks of a way to ask for a few properties and transfer the account directly. Although it is a good thing for the third uncle to be knighted, the princess is biased, and the second uncle is jealous, so he may not be happy to see you get a benefit. The third uncle stayed in Beijing to recuperate, don't really let a few unpredictable subordinates calculate. ”
If Qin Hanzhen was here, he would definitely be able to hear the suspicion of sowing discord, but Zhao Yan was very convinced: "That's right! I have to hold the deed of the subordinate directly in my hand! Otherwise, even if I look at the loyal girl now, who knows if she will betray me because of the deed? The concubine is now biased, and she will definitely be angry with me, maybe she will still think that I am disobedient and want me to suffer some hardships. And Zhao Li...... Hmph, he's already crippled my leg, what can't I do?!"
It's his father, King Liao, who is estimated to be able to ask him for some benefits. Zhao Yan thought about it in his heart, and also thought of an excuse to ask for something. He said to Zhao Mo: "My mother wants to ask me to inquire, how could you make peace with Xiao Wang's family, and what happened to his family recently." Because of this, I didn't hear anything yesterday, and Zhao Li specially ridiculed me. I have to have something to deal with today, tell me quickly, whether it is useful or not, prevaricate them for a while, and then I can use this credit to ask my father for something. ”
Zhao Mo pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell the third uncle, it's just that the third uncle doesn't tell the princess everything, this matter is a bit taboo." So he suspected Xiao Wang's of Lan Xue's sterilization of Zhao Shuo to protect Zhao Qi's status, but he didn't expect to find out that it was Xiao Wang's who was really drugged, and then pulled out that there was someone behind Lan Xue's instigation, plotting misdeeds, etc., probably talked about it, and specially pointed out that when his cousin died, Lan Xue planted the black pot on the head of the concubine of the Liao Wang, so that he was able to stay in Beijing. Xiao Wang was disheartened, and frankly admitted that she did not attack Zhao Shuo's son, and suspected that Lan Xue was the real murderer. If this is true, the step-concubine of the king of Liao is tantamount to carrying the blame.
Although Zhao Yan was dissatisfied with his mother, in the end, he was the biological son of the step-concubine of the King of Liao, and he was furious: "This slut is so insidious! Over the years, there have been rumors about the deaths of Xiao Er and Aunt Sun in the Liaodong Palace. The mother concubine loses her temper every time she hears it! She knew that your Lao Tzu wanted to enter Beijing to succeed the royal family, and she planned to use Aunt Sun's mother and son as a bargaining chip, if you really became a prince, she would directly send Aunt Sun to the palace, and Xiao Er may not be able to be the emperor's grandson, and directly picked the fruit of the Wang family, and the cheaper one is our Liao Wangfu. I didn't expect Aunt Sun's mother and son to suddenly die in vain, and the mother concubine also suffered an injustice, she was suffocated to death, for this, she also investigated repeatedly in the palace, and later found that there was indeed a mother-in-law whose whereabouts were suspicious, and I thought that the Wang family sent someone to do it, plus you had news at that time, saying that the Wang family sent someone to hunt down and kill, and the mother concubine became more and more convinced that it was Xiao Wang's family. At that time, she got along with Aunt Sun's mother and son every day, and it was easy to poison her, but no one doubted her, who would have thought that she would have such great ambitions?!"
Zhao Mo said: "Ordinary girl, even if she is a little ambitious, where did she get such a big courage? Where did she come from so many means and subordinates? Moreover, she and her father's henchman Lan Fusheng in the past are actually brothers and sisters, who has heard of her in the palace for many years? She entered the mansion because my mother saw her on the street that she was beautiful, but she was down, so she kindly bought her into the mansion to be a rough little girl, and later saw that she was clever in handling things, so she was promoted step by step. Now that I think about it, she will happen to appear in the place where my mother passed by when she went out, and I know that my mother has always been kind-hearted, and the things she has done after entering the mansion are even more in line with my mother's wishes, and if it were not for Lan Fusheng's help, it would never have been so smooth! After these two brothers and sisters entered the mansion, they climbed up the palace so deliberately, and they still had a lot of money and manpower under them, where did they look like they were born in a down-and-out countryman?"
Zhao Yan heard that something was wrong: "What's the matter, do you suspect that there is something wrong with their origin?!"
Zhao Mo lowered his voice: "Back then, the prince held the military power of Liaodong, and from time to time there were small-scale battles with Beirong, I have some doubts, will they have something to do with Beirong?"
Zhao Yan was taken aback: "What?!"
Zhao Mo spread his hands: "Although a few years ago, there were people from the Shu Wangfu who infiltrated Liaodong and framed the Liaowangfu in Liaodong, but that was a few years ago, unlike this Lan Xue and Lan Fusheng brother and sister, who have been lurking for more than ten years! This is clearly a dead man! It is by no means the courage that ordinary girls can have. Not to mention the people behind them, there are nearly 100 of them just after I found out. With my father's current situation, where is it worth a feudal palace to send hundreds of dead soldiers to calculate his back house? If it is said that the people of Beirong are doing it, there is a certain possibility. Lan Xue is indeed not on the stage, but she was very favored a few years ago, and my father was also very favored in front of the emperor. Now that I think about it, if Lan Xue hadn't been lowly and pregnant, Xiao Wang's family would have suppressed her, as long as Lan Xue was given a chance, she could enter the palace and see nobles, God knows what she would do in the palace?!"
Zhao Yan was drenched in a cold sweat when he heard this: "Don't scare me! A girl, she ...... What can she do?!"
Zhao Mo sighed: "It's good that she doesn't have a chance, otherwise...... No matter which noble person in the palace has a good one, we are in the Liao Palace, I am afraid that we will not die well!"
Although Zhao Yan has a ruthless temperament, he still knows that he is afraid, thinking about the hints in Zhao Mo's words, he can't stop being scared. He hurriedly grabbed Zhao Mo's hand: "We have to kill that slut quickly!" You Lao Tzu is stupid, if he is confused by that slut again, how many lives can we have to be affected by him?!"
Zhao Mo shook his head: "Now that Lan Xue is old and decrepit, and she has made a big mistake, it is impossible for her father to spoil her anymore, and now she is left to fend for herself in the backyard, it is also for the sake of the third brother." But we can't say anything about it. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have spoken out my doubts. I don't have evidence, but let outsiders know that there may be a Beirong female spy in my father's backyard, let alone my father, I'm afraid that even the Liao Wangfu will not be good. You must know that Lan Xue and Lan Fusheng, brother and sister, had been in the Liao Palace's Mansion for many years! God knows if the few times when the prince led his troops to fight Beirong were defeated because the two brothers and sisters heard some news from the palace?"
Zhao Yan let go of his hand and was stunned when he heard it. It turns out that the crisis of the Liao Wangfu has already existed?!
He hurriedly asked Zhao Mo: "How many people are there now? Except for Lan Xue who is at your Lao Tzu's place, where is Lan Fusheng? What about his accomplices? Can you kill everyone?!"
Zhao Mo said: "Lan Xue...... She won't have a chance to leave the house again, and I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on her. Lan Fusheng...... I can probably guess where he is. Now is not the time for others to startle the snake. In the future, if I have the opportunity to kill my mouth, when I need the help of the third uncle, I will definitely speak. Then he approached Zhao Yan and lowered his voice, "It's just that the princess and the second uncle are there, and the third uncle had better not reveal it." It would be terrible if they mistakenly thought that this was a lever to remove my father from the position of son, and sued me in a confused manner. I'm afraid that the palace is waiting for a good reason to remove the Liao Wangfu. ”
Zhao Yan suddenly nodded solemnly: "I understand." I won't tell them!" He smiled mockingly, "My mother is already confused, Zhao Li is stupid, how can they know, this is not your Lao Tzu's business alone, it is the crisis of our Liao Wangfu?!"
After a pause, he hesitated: "But where is my father...... I'd better say it. Not to mention anything else, if someone really stole secrets back then, they had to sweep the traces clean. ”
Zhao Mo nodded: "Third Uncle think about it." There is also the origin of Lan Xue and Lan Fusheng, which also needs to be investigated. We have to confirm whether they are Beirong people or not, and how did they enter Liaodong with so many accomplices? The prince guarded Liaodong and put so many Beirong spies in the pass, and it was also a sin to say it. It's inconvenient for me in the capital, but in Liaodong, I believe there is nothing that the prince can't find out. ”
