Chapter 227: The Cards

Zhao Mo hurriedly replied: "Since the demonstration to my father that day, it was a fake letter that was framed and dismantled by his handwritten letter and then beaten together, and the letter was scattered. My father ignored www.biquge.info pen "Fun", so I put all the fragments away, and now I have brought them back. If your uncle and grandfather want to see it, I'll bring it to you. ”

He paused for a moment, and said with some uneasiness: "Am I too reckless? If the letter has not been destroyed, it can still be used for the emperor to see......

Qin Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you can just go back and give me the things, but you don't have to rush for a while." Don't worry too much about you destroying that faith. The letter is very delicately made, and you believe what I say, but your father may not believe your speculation unless he saw it with his own eyes. Besides, your father and son didn't plan to sue the emperor in the first place, but just made a more fake letter and let the King of Liao throw himself into the net. The framed letter is of no use to you, and you have been careful to keep it. Moreover, even if the faith is scattered, it does not mean that it is useless. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "Grandfather, are you planning to put the letter back together by yourself?"

Zhao Mo also looked at Qin Bai with great surprise: "If this is the case, uncle and grandfather are really amazing!"

Qin Bai said with a smile: "I learned some framed fur when I was young, and I can barely eat in a small city in the northwest, but I don't dare to compare with those masters." But I can give it a try, if it doesn't work, let's talk about it for the time being, but as long as I can make half of the original letter, it will be enough to win the emperor's trust. Of course, even if I fail in the end, the emperor will not disbelieve me. It's just a family conversation, and I'm not trying to sue anyone. ”

Although Qin Bai said it lightly, Zhao Mo still had great confidence in him. Besides, the original intention of their father and son was not really to let the father and son of the King of Shu suffer any serious punishment, just to let him throw a mouse trap and stop using tricks against Zhao Shuo.

But seriously, Zhao Mo felt in his heart that as long as the King of Shu did not dispel the idea of putting his youngest son on the throne, or his father Zhao Shuo did not give up the fight for the throne of the emperor, the struggle between the two of them would never stop. Compared with the ruthlessness and conspiracy of the King of Shu, will his father Zhao Shuo really be his opponent?

Zhao Mo also told Qin Bai and Qin Hanzhen about the worries in his heart, and said: "It's not that I'm not optimistic about my father, and it's not that I'm afraid that my father's accident will affect me, but the King of Shu acts...... If you don't do it, if you do, you will often have a lot of implications, and you don't care about whether innocent people will be involved. The father had concerns, but the king of Shu did not, if he really made a desperate bet, how many people would suffer? Such a heart, even if it was not for him to sit on the supreme position, it would inevitably make people tremble. I have never seen the young son of the King of Shu, I don't know his talent and knowledge, I don't know his temperament. Outsiders talk about how shrewd and powerful the King of Shu is, and the young son of the King of Shu is very popular with the nobles in the palace. However, the prince of a country, or even the king of a country, is never pleasing to be competent. In the future, if the youngest son of the King of Shu is really allowed to succeed to the throne, who will really hold the power? With that person's heart, what will the Jiangshan Sheji become?"

Qin Bai listened with a serious expression, and said solemnly: "Good boy, what you are worried about is also what I am worried about. The emperor Shengming naturally knows how to choose the best candidate for the prince. Rest assured. ”

Zhao Mo smiled bitterly and was silent for a while before saying, "Uncle and grandpa, it's not that I'm not worried, but ...... I don't understand what the emperor wants to do. Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still there? Why does the emperor allow so many clans to compete for the so-called title of imperial heir? If he says which son and nephew he has a crush on, he has never been sure. The previous said that he valued my father, and it did not stop my father from marrying the Wang family. The Wang family was building momentum for my father outside, and the emperor didn't seem to care at all. The king of Shu brought his son into Beijing and said that he would let his youngest son succeed the royal family, but the emperor neither denied it nor snubbed my father, and seemed to be conniving at the king of Shu to build momentum for his young son. What does the emperor really want? Which one does he really like?"

Qin Bai said lightly: "Why do you ask like this? Now that the crown prince is still here, which one can the emperor fancy?"

Zhao Mo hesitated for a moment: "Having said that, but ...... I always feel that the emperor seems to be ...... Some people sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight...... "From the standpoint of the royal family, it is not incomprehensible to do this." After all, any father who sees so many nephews looking forward to the early death of his own son, so that they can inherit the family business, will be very annoyed, and he will be happy to ask these nephews to kill each other. But...... Isn't this not good for the crown prince? If you really force the clan to be anxious, one or two of them are confused, which is not good for the crown prince, so what can we do?

Qin Bai didn't answer, he picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and put it down again: "What does the emperor think, I don't know." But no matter which son and nephew the emperor admires more, he will not mention anything about succession at the moment. Moreover, the prince's position is not idle, and it is difficult to determine the candidate if he does not observe the last few years. Presumably your father understands this, so he is not in a hurry. You don't have to worry, the emperor is watching it, and he won't let the clan make too much trouble. ”

The gloom on Zhao Mo's face failed to disappear by half a point, but he still responded obediently "yes".

Qin Bai smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, since the emperor left your father to train in the court, it means intentional cultivation." As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, no matter whether he has a relationship with the East Palace in the future, the emperor will give him a proper arrangement, and he will not suffer a loss. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and replied again: "Yes!" This time, the voice was finally a little louder.

Qin Hanzhen looked left and right, looked back and forth at his grandfather Qin Bai and his cousin Zhao Mo, and suddenly clapped his hands vigorously, attracting the attention of both of them: "Okay, now that the gossip is over, let's talk about business, right? Cousin Zhao has not been lazy these days? Have you finished the homework that your grandfather assigned you? If you don't finish it, I won't follow it." ”

When Qin Bai and Zhao Mo heard this, they both laughed dumbly. Qin Bai scolded with a smile: "Has Guanglu completed his homework, and what does it have to do with you?"

Qin Hanzhen pouted: "Of course it has something to do with me." I am a good student who studies diligently every day, and Cousin Zhao should be like me. There's no reason for me to stay at home, bury my head in the sea of books every day, and if I relax a little, I will be punished by my grandfather for endorsing and copying books, and Cousin Zhao goes out to visit relatives, doesn't have to go to school, is lazy and doesn't do homework, and my grandfather won't punish him when he comes back!"

Zhao Mo showed a big smile on his face: "Cousin, don't worry, I have done all my homework, if there is something missing, or if I don't do it well, I will be criticized by my uncle and grandfather, I will be punished willingly, and I will never be treated more favorably than you." ”

Qin Hanzhen actually just wanted to change the dull atmosphere in the room, and seeing that Qin Bai and Zhao Mo were both smiling, she also giggled.

While he was talking, Niu came in from outside the door, and when he saw Zhao Mo in the house, his face was also surprised and happy: "Yo, Guanglu is back?" You've been gone for so many days, but you've worried us badly. ”

Zhao Mo hurriedly got up and stepped forward to salute her, but she stopped her, holding her hand and looking up and down: "Good boy, you have only been there for a few days, why have you lost a lot of weight?

Zhao Mo couldn't help touching his face, and said with a smile: "Are you really thin?" The food in the Liao Wangfu is mostly according to the tastes of the prince, the princess and the second and third uncles, which I am not used to, while the cooks in my father's mansion prepare meals according to my stepmother's preferences, which is not quite the same as my taste. Maybe it's because of this that I'm losing weight, right? But after all, I don't want to say much, I can eat a little more if I can eat, and I can fill my stomach. ”

Liaowang's Mansion is Zhao Mo's grandfather's home, and Zhao Shuo is his biological father, in the mansion of these two people, Zhao Mo actually feels that he is under the fence, and he doesn't even dare to ask for what kind of food to eat. It's just four words, it's really sad to say. Qin Bai and Qin Han's true ancestors and grandchildren were sad to hear it, and the Niu family was even more distressed.

She took Zhao Mo's hand and said, "Good boy, I have wronged you." Without his mother's care, he couldn't even eat peace tea and rice. Don't worry, there's still my aunt and grandmother here. Now that you're home, you don't have to worry about anything. What do you like to eat, just say it, and your uncle and grandmother will make it for you!"

Zhao Mo smiled: "I don't have anything to be picky about, I just think the small dishes that my uncle and grandmother often cook are very good." At the beginning, I was not used to eating, but after eating too much, I became a little addicted. I can't eat for more than ten days, I think strangely. ”

Niu likes spicy food, and most of the side dishes she often makes are made with Qin pepper. Knowing that Zhao Mo liked it, she was even happier in her heart: "What's so difficult about this? There is no need to alarm them in the big kitchen, the cooks in the big kitchen are not doing well. We have a small kitchen in this courtyard, and I will ask you to do it. I'll eat it at noon today!I'm going to feed you all over again!"

As he spoke, Niu was busy calling Mama Hu and gave a lot of instructions. Qin Hanzhen was listening to her order, and she was a little greedy when she heard it, and she also asked for an order. Niu said with a smile: "Let's add these things for lunch first, if you want to eat, let's talk about dinner." Qin Hanzhen had no choice but to agree.

Mama Tiger smiled and went to the small kitchen, and Niu stayed in the house to talk. With her present, it is naturally impossible to talk about the position of the emperor's heir. Qin Bai called Zhao Mo to go to the study to check his homework, and Qin Hanzhen stayed to accompany Niu's family to talk about homely gossip.

Qin Hanzhen asked Niu's family: "I came here early in the morning, and I heard that my grandmother went to Songfeng Hall, and I thought you were going to talk to your uncle and grandmother." I didn't expect you to go and didn't come back until lunchtime. What the hell are you talking about, and what are you talking about?"

Niu waved his hand: "It's just to talk about some family things." Later, a few concubines in the courtyard of the eldest sister-in-law came, saying that they wanted to play cards, and I thought that I hadn't played for a few days, so I followed a few games. Who knew that the shrew in the second room was also here, and she also wanted to play a game. I thought that if I could win her a few bucks, it would be a breath. Unexpectedly, the shrew was very stingy, and the Cheng Ri family said that she was the daughter of the imperial merchant and had a rich family background, who knew that I had only won a few hundred dollars, so she shouted, and she actually had the face to say that I wanted money for death. It's just a few hundred dollars, and if she can't bear it, don't come to play!"

Qin Hanzhen heard it strangely: "The second room is so stiff with the long room and the third room, and the second uncle and grandmother actually come to play cards with you?"

Niu pouted: "Where does she really want to play? It's true to come to find out the news, otherwise where is it so easy for me to win so much money from her? Isn't it because she is absent-minded? Unfortunately, the eldest sister-in-law and her daughter-in-law are all very shrewd and completely unfooled by her." She ran for nothing, and she lost a lot of money. ”

Qin Hanzhen listened curiously: "What news does she want to inquire about?
