Chapter 224: Father and Son under Imperial Power
But since the task cannot be shirked, this matter cannot be abandoned halfway, since these two fathers-in-law refused to tell each other, Zhang Zhaoyi asked Shen Hun to help inquire and see if there were some older female officials in the palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Soon, Shen Hun helped her find out.
"That person's surname is Li, everyone calls her Thirteen Niang, she retired three months ago and returned to her hometown, when she was young, she was the emperor's personal palace maid, and later she was in charge of the grandmother, and when she retired, His Majesty also rewarded her with a set of houses and hundreds of taels of gold and silver." Shen Hu reported in a low voice.
Zhang Zhaoyi immediately perked up.
Women are always easier to talk to each other, and she is more confident in Thirteen Niang's attitude.
Due to the lessons learned from the previous two failures, this time Zhang Zhaoyi personally wrote a letter to invite Thirteen Niang and invited her to meet in a teahouse in the capital.
This is a sincere letter, and Zhang Zhaoyi was moved by those words when she read it again.
She believed that Thirteen Niang would also be moved by her letter, and she was very sure of this when she handed the letter to Shen Hu.
Early the next morning, the person who renovated the dormitory arrived, and stood respectfully on the side of the garden waiting for Zhang Zhaoyi's instructions.
"The walls of the bedroom are all painted purple, and the chairs, tables, and desks are all painted purple." Zhang Zhaoyi instructed.
Immediately when they were instructed they were given the command to do it.
Zhang Zhaoyi said to Shen Hun again: "Give me all the sheets, quilts, and pillows to purple." ”
"Yes." Shen Hun led the order to retreat.
Zhang Zhaoyi took out one of the beauty secrets/recipes provided by the jade-faced Xiangjun and said to another personal palace maid: "Go and prepare this." ”
The palace maid also hurriedly went out with the secret formula.
Zhang Zhaoyi retreated left and right, sitting quietly in the living room alone, the voice and smile of the jade-faced Xiangjun appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.
Jade-faced Xiangjun must have been a amorous woman when she was young, right?
Zhang Zhaoyi couldn't help but silently imitate her gestures.
In the evening of this day, the prince's eyeliner, Ling's father-in-law, informed the prince that Zhang Zhaoyi secretly invited Yumian Xiangjun into the palace to teach beauty techniques and room/middle/surgery.
When the prince heard this, his face immediately became solemn.
It is not difficult to imagine that Zhang Zhaoyi did this for two reasons: one is to compete for favor, and the other is to be instructed by others.
As a result, Queen Jingzhuang's life in the harem was not easy again.
"Your Highness, what do you think we're going to do next?" Father-in-law Ling asked cautiously.
After all, if Zhang Zhaoyi is allowed to go on like this, it will definitely be unfavorable to Queen Jingzhuang.
The prince said calmly: "At this time, we must calm down, so let's pay attention quietly as usual." ”
Grandpa Ling sighed: "Your Highness, you are too calm. ”
If it were another young man, I was afraid that I would really not be able to bear it.
"You have to do it if you want to get to the big fish." Prince Road. His purpose is to end the pot with a pot, and even the person behind it will be found out at that time.
Because of this, we can't mess around at this critical moment.
Grandpa Ling nodded.
The crown prince leaned closer to Gonggong Ling and said, "Have you found a suitable candidate to put next to Zhang Zhaoyi?" ”
Father-in-law Ling hurriedly replied: "Recently, I have been looking for a suitable person, and I haven't found a suitable candidate yet. ”
It is not so easy to find someone who is familiar with the situation in the palace, but also smart enough not to arouse Zhang Zhaoyi's suspicion.
The prince also understood that it was not easy to find such a person, so he said: "Don't look for it, find a way to buy one from her existing personnel, you pay attention to see which one is more suitable, and then we will pay a high price to buy her." ”
Father-in-law Ling hurriedly said, "Yes." Then he took his leave.
The prince got up and walked to the window and stood with his hands in his hands, his mind slowly drifting to the nine heavens outside the clouds.
can't let Zhang Zhaoyi succeed in competing for favor, but he can't break this matter from the beginning, this degree of control is very hot. Although he is a calm and accustomed person, he will inevitably feel turbulent in his heart when facing this matter. However, he was not afraid, let alone retreated, on the contrary, he felt a new momentum.
Looking back on the past ten years of the State of Cao, the border wars continued, the major murders accumulated more and more, the phenomenon of traitorous ministers in power became more and more obvious, and there was always gunpowder smoke in the harem, although compared with other dynasties, it was not impossible to praise, but these phenomena still made the prince smell danger.
Perhaps these looming dangers are an opportunity to force Akami to pay attention to these things.
The crown prince Zhao Yuliang did not ask Imakami if he liked the throne, but he still got the answer from some events and details.
Some people know what they want at a very young age, and some people need to go through exploration and scrambling all the way to understand that Imakami and the prince both belong to the former, but the two have very different attitudes towards this matter.
It is precisely because of each other's different political philosophies that father and son are used to burying a lot of things in their hearts, so they still have a mind that no one can figure out.
A faint sadness suddenly welled up in the prince's heart, not because of the difference between father and son, but only for his father, who was the king of a country.
Sometimes, the prince wants to turn a blind eye and ignore many things that he knows are wrong, but in the end he still can't do such numbness, he still can't help but intervene, just to keep things from getting worse, just for the sake of the benevolence and conscience in his heart.
These are actually things that will cause the emperor to misunderstand, but he has done a lot all along. Because of this, the contradictions between him and the emperor are accumulating more and more.
There are some things that I just don't explain when I want to explain them and find that the explanation has lost its meaning, and it is difficult and infuriating to explain it to someone who doesn't understand me at all.
The crown prince remembered a conversation with the emperor in the Yinghua Palace a few months ago, which was the only real conversation between their father and son, but the content of the conversation was about Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, at that time, Jinshang made it clear that the prince was not allowed to deal with Guo Mao privately, otherwise he would be unkind to the prince.
Now, the crown prince vaguely sensed that these looming dangers might be related to Guo Mao, so he couldn't sit idly by anyway.
Then, there is still no way to further improve the relationship between father and son.
The prince smiled wryly.
"Your Highness, it's time for dinner." The princess's gentle voice came from behind the crown prince.
The prince turned around and saw the princess walking slowly towards him.
Since her belly was already very large, the crown princess had a hard time walking.
The prince hurried forward to help her.
