Chapter 226: Birthday Gift

Emperor Jiayou was wearing a homely yellow robe, lying on the couch and reading a book, describing him as a little haggard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing Song Yanzhao coming in, he put down the book and beckoned, "Yanzhao is here, come and talk." ”

Song Yanzhao hesitated and paced slowly, "What's wrong with my grandfather these days?

Emperor Jiayou sighed, and Song Yanzhao found that the wrinkles between his eyebrows were as deep as mountains and rivers, and the hair on his sideburns was all white.

His heart was a little uncomfortable.

"I'm old, I'm old, I'm dizzy when I see a lot of twists and turns, and when I get up in a hurry, my eyes are dark, I faint, and I've rested for a few days, and I'm much better. Emperor Jiayou sighed.

The corners of Song Yanzhao's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

It's only the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and the dynasty hasn't started yet, so where will there be so many twists and turns.

Seeing that he bowed his head and was silent, Emperor Jiayou smiled and lifted the quilt covering his body, "If you lie down for a long time, your body bones will be numb, help me get up and walk." ”

Song Yanzhao silently stepped forward to help Emperor Jiayou's arm and supported him to walk around the hall twice.

Probably really lying down for a long time, Emperor Jiayou walked two laps, and his breath was a little unstable, and his breathing was heavy Song Yanzhao's eyes flashed inexplicably, and his grandfather was really sick.

"Sit down and rest for a while!" Song Yanzhao helped Emperor Jiayou sit down and poured him another cup of tea.

Emperor Jiayou took the tea, and the smile in his eyes floated, "The day after tomorrow is your birthday, what gift do you want, tell your grandfather." ”

Song Yanzhao is the birthday of the sixteenth day of the first month, and every year Emperor Jiayou will prepare his birthday gift early and reward it early in the morning.

"Grandfather, I'm seventeen, not when I was a child. Remembering that when he was a child, when he was a child, he pestered Emperor Jiayou for a birthday gift, the corners of Song Yanzhao's mouth curled, and a warm smile appeared.

Emperor Jiayou smiled and patted his hand, "I have loved you since I was a child, and you loved to stick to me when you were a child, I naturally love you a little more, no matter how old you are, the birthday gift that should be prepared for you, I will not forget it, if I don't have anything I particularly want this year, I will make my own decisions!"

"Grandfather, just give me a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, don't bother too much. Song Yanzhao heard what Emperor Jiayou had to say, and he was busy sloppy.

Emperor Jiayou didn't allow him to be vague, "That's not good, after this birthday, you will be seventeen, and you are an official errand again, how can you reward it casually, I will reward you with a daughter-in-law this time, how about it?"

Song Yanzhao's face changed, and he looked at Emperor Jiayou, "Grandfather, don't be joking!"

Emperor Jiayou looked at him with a smile, with a touch of scrutiny and a touch of severity in his smile, showing that he was not joking.

The smile on the corner of Song Yanzhao's mouth froze.

"The queen has a niece and granddaughter, and the crown princess also has a niece, who is the same age as you, you will see you another day, and set your life's events, and save your mother from always entering the palace. Emperor Jiayou took a slow sip of tea.

Empress Qin's niece, the niece of the crown princess, Song Yanzhao frowned, and instantly understood that Emperor Jiayou was testing him.

His heart sank in an instant, bitter and astringent.

His grandfather, whom he has always loved in his heart, has always looked like an ordinary grandfather in front of him, but he is actually the master of this world, Emperor Jiayou of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Song Yanzhao realized this very clearly for the first time, but it made his heart ache suddenly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that it meant nothing.

"Grandfather, I have never met the niece of the Empress and the niece of the Crown Princess, and I do not want to marry either of them. ”

The smile on Emperor Jiayou's face faded, he didn't speak, he just stared at Song Yanzhao faintly, and the majesty of the emperor gradually emanated.

Song Yanzhao's eyes were lowered, but he didn't have the slightest intention of compromise.

Emperor Jiayou threw the tea cup on the table, and the porcelain touched the Nanmu table, making a crisp jingle sound, which was very abrupt in the quiet hall.

Song Yanzhao's hand shook in his sleeve, and suddenly said, "Grandfather, I entered the palace for a few days in a row to report something to you." ”

Emperor Jiayou's eyes flashed, and there was no smile in his eyes, but he didn't answer Song Yanzhao's words, "What if I must reward you with one of them as a birthday gift?

Is this to order him as an emperor? Song Yanzhao's heart was astringent, and he knelt down, "If you only use your majesty's identity to order your ministers, the ministers will not dare to resist the order, but the ministers are still short on errands, and they are unworthy, so they really can't afford to be rewarded by your majesty!"

Song Yanzhao paused, his voice a little hoarse, "If Your Majesty is using the identity of your grandfather to order Yanzhao, then Yanzhao implores you to take back your fate." ”

"You ........." Emperor Jiayou's face sank, and he slapped the table heavily, wanting to reprimand Song Yanzhao, but he was a little reluctant, and sighed with a complicated expression after a while, "You get up, what are you doing on your knees!"

Song Yanzhao stood up silently.

"By the way, you just said that you have something to report, what is it?" Emperor Jiayou was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, his tone no longer having the anger just now.

Song Yanzhao hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke, "It's the bloody case of the former Jiangning County Commander Zhang Wenbo's family that the minister reported before. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Jiayou raised his eyebrows, but his tone was calm and unwavering, and he couldn't hear joy or anger, "Tell me, what did you find?"

"The minister has found important witnesses in this case and has been arrested in the prison of the Shen Criminal Division. ”

"Really, who is so daring?" asked Emperor Jiayou.

Song Yanzhao raised his head, looked at Emperor Jiayou with burning eyes, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, "Donggong Wupin Zhan Shi Zhao Yang." ”

Emperor Jiayou's expression changed, he stood up, and looked at Song Yanzhao fixedly, "What did you say? Zhao Yang? How could this matter involve him?"

Song Yanzhao was silent, but a chill gradually appeared in his heart.

Emperor Jiayou lingered in the palace for a moment, then turned around and asked Song Yanzhao, "Have you interrogated Zhao Yang?

Song Yanzhao's hand subconsciously shook it, but the expression on his face did not change, "I tried it, but he didn't confess." ”

Emperor Jiayou's eyes flashed, and the expression in his eyes was complicated and indisputable, "He, really didn't do anything?"

Song Yanzhao's expression was a little hesitant.

"What did he say?" Emperor Jiayou stared at Song Yanzhao tightly.

Song Yanzhao shook his head, "Zhao Yang's tone was very tight, and he didn't say anything, but last night, Zhao Yang died in the dungeon of the Shen Criminal Division. ”

After saying this, Song Yanzhao looked at Emperor Jiayou with a fixed expression.

Emperor Jiayou frowned, "Dead, what's going on?"

"Judging from the scars, it's hanging!" Song Yanzhao spit out a sentence.

"It seems that he committed suicide in fear of sin. Emperor Jiayou said quietly for a while.

Song Yanzhao's face changed, and he gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhao Yang will not, it is too strange for him to die at this time, it is obvious that someone does not want him to speak." ”

Emperor Jiayou stood in front of the table, leaned forward, and stared at Song Yanzhao across the table, with a solemn expression, "Who are you suspicious?"
