Chapter Seventy-Six: Awareness

After listening to Zhao Wei's words, King Guangping took a long breath.

Zhao Wei secretly looked at his expression, and his heart was full of thoughts, although he knew that King Guangping couldn't see it, he still didn't have the courage to look at the other party directly.

Today, he was ordered by his grandmother to go to the palace of Guangping to "visit the prince", but this was just a disguise, and his purpose was to convey the words of his grandmother to His Royal Highness the King of Guangping.

Now that the King of Guangping has stabilized his injuries and submitted a letter requesting abdication, the palace has begun to inspect the princes, and what the King of Guangping has to do is to recuperate as low-key as possible, and avoid meeting with the clan, courtiers and nobles as much as possible. Although the small second room of the Zhao family has been far away from the imperial court, but yesterday has been to the Guangping Mansion once, the old lady of the Zhuguo General's Mansion went to the Zhao family, and the Zhang family came again, which is too eye-catching, and even the Zhuguo General's Mansion is more and more suspicious. Now there are not one or two people staring at the Guangping Palace.

But if it's a child's contact, it's much more natural. Boys of the same age, with similar temperaments, come to the door every day to play with each other, which is a normal thing.

Zhao Wei secretly glanced at King Guangping again, if his grandmother explained to him, he was familiar with it before he went out, except for King Guangping, he couldn't mention it to anyone. In fact, he didn't understand the meaning of his grandmother's words very much, Zhu Lifei had a problem, and she had intentions for the back position and storage position, he understood this, but there may be people behind Zhu Life, what does this mean? Didn't Zhu Lifei want to put the six princes she gave birth to on the throne of the prince? Who else could be behind her? The Zhu family? The Zhu family is not a climate, it can't be the emperor, right?

But. These thoughts would never have been brought up in front of the King of Quang Binh or anyone else, and if there was anything he did not understand, he would rather go home and ask his grandmother quietly.

Zhao Wei thought wildly. King Guangping had already settled down and said with a smile: "This king knows, thank you Old Madam Zhao for reminding me, you go back and let your grandmother rest assured, although the rest of the matter is handed over to this king, your ancestors and grandchildren can go back to the south with peace of mind." ”

Zhao Wei's expression suddenly relaxed, and his face also showed joy: "Yes." Your Highness, I will definitely tell my grandmother. ”

King Guangping nodded with a smile and asked, "Zhen'er is outside?" Young Qingyue's voice sounded outside the door: "Yes." Father. Then he squeaked open the door and walked in. King Guangping said to him: "Take Brother Wei down to play, so you can greet him, don't slack off." It's rare to have a friend of the same age. ”

Gao Zhen blinked and looked at Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei gave him a smile back. The two little boys seemed to have a heart in their hearts, saluted the king of Guangping together, and went out happily.

Mr. Zhou turned out from behind the screen, walked forward and closed the door, turned around and walked to the king of Guangping and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what Zhao Gongzi said is ......."

King Guangping nodded: "We have long found out that there is something wrong with Concubine Zhu, and at that time we thought that she just had extravagant hopes for the rear position. There is also a selfish desire to send the six emperors to the throne of the prince, but she is just a palace concubine. There is no foreign aid in the court, and the mother's family is not angry, all they are fighting is the favor of their father, but their father has never even given her the position of concubine, she can't become a climate, so I don't pay attention anymore, I really didn't expect that there might be someone behind her. ”

Zhu Lifei said that she was the daughter of the former dynasty, but she came from the end of the branch of the Zhu family, and her grandfather was a very inconspicuous child of the clan even if she was in the previous dynasty, and it can be said that except for the surname "Zhu", there is no difference from ordinary people. Although because she entered the palace as a favorite concubine, her family is still a little decent in the remaining Zhu clan, but it is just a little decent. None of the descendants of those former vassal kings looked at them in their eyes, and all they thought about was how to use Zhu Lifei's favor in front of the emperor to seek power and profit for the Zhu family.

It's a pity that the emperor is not confused, firmly remembering the legacy of the first emperor, and still adopts the policy of semi-captivity and half-stocking for them. As long as they are honest enough, they have no problem if they want to be officials or rich people, spend all day drinking, fine clothes and food, call slaves and maids, and do whatever they want. But once they have the slightest bit of dishonesty, they want to overthrow the dynasty, restore the glory of the past, or do evil, fish and meat in the township, then they are sorry, among the people around them, maybe there are secret agents sent by the imperial court, who have not taken any actual actions, and they have become prisoners of the ranks, and their lives are difficult to protect, let alone wealth.

If Zhu Lifei's son becomes the prince, these people may be overjoyed, but it is unthinkable for them to take a big risk for this. Zhu Lifei's favor did not let them get benefits, how could they be willing to give up their good life for Zhu Lifei? These descendants of the Zhu family are not people who can unite to work hard for something, even now, they have never stopped infighting, and they cannot become Zhu Lifei's backing.

Among Zhu Lifei's own relatives, only one brother is an official, and her brother was originally promoted from the fourth rank in the flag guard, but his strength is not good, so his colleagues look down on him. When King Guangping was still the crown prince, just in case, people kept an eye on him, so he easily demoted him back to the sixth grade, and found an inconspicuous and unimportant position in the city defense and stuffed it in, and there were people staring at him all the time, and he also couldn't produce any young moths.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Lifei still dares to think about the rear position and storage position, if she is not a fool, it means that she does have this confidence.

King Guangping can be sure that it will never be the emperor who gives her this confidence, so who will it be?

He was a little uneasy, so he asked Mr. Zhou: "The standard-bearer Wei Commander, who promoted Zhu Lifei's brother that year, really has no connection with the Zhu family, right?" ”

Mr. Zhou nodded: "He was transferred to Liaodong shortly after that, so when our people got Brother Zhu Lifei down, he didn't stop him, and he didn't ask about it afterwards." He paused, "This person should still be in Liaodong at present." ”

King Quang Binh remembered a name: "Hong Wencheng...... He is the ...... of the old department of Zhao Jungong"

Mr. Zhou said: "Hong Wencheng, the former standard-bearer Wei Commander, at that time he was already a third-grade person, and he was also quite important in front of the emperor, and suddenly asked to be transferred back to Liaodong, many people were surprised. He said that he couldn't let go of the frontier, couldn't let go of his old comrades, and the emperor felt his loyalty and bravery, so he let him go back. His Royal Highness should have seen him when he sent troops to Jinzhou in the spring. Speaking of this, he frowned: "Strange, with this person's qualifications and skills, shouldn't he have only been promoted one level in five years?" Transferred from the capital to Liaodong, it should have been promoted one or two levels. ”

King Guangping's eyelids jumped: "His grade is there, if he rises further, he is a commander, he is a general, and he is going to go to the battlefield." ”

Mr. Zhou paused: "The duties of the commander are to train soldiers, manage tuntian, and ...... Although the power is not as good as the commander, the real power is not to be underestimated, once there is a business trip, when fighting against the Qing army, our army will be in danger. ”

The King of Guangping curled the corners of his mouth: "Such an inconspicuous and dewy person, but he can arrange manpower as he wants...... You send someone to Liaodong to check if Zhao Jue's promotion has anything to do with him, and whether he has had any dealings with Zhao Jue over the years. ”

Things seem to be right, if this person is the person who colluded with King Ying in the old department of Zhao Jungong, then the person who instigated Zhu Lifei to fight for the prince behind his back is King Ying! How did he deceive Zhu Lifei? Since he can't be the queen, and the six princes can't be the princes, then find a way to solve all the adult princes, and only one of the six princes is left, even if he is young, he is the only candidate for the crown prince. But if at this time, it was revealed that this qiē was a conspiracy between Zhu Lifei and the six princes, how could the emperor set up this little son again? The prince is gone, who can the emperor find to inherit the throne? Will anyone raise the question of brother to brother?

King Guangping sneered, he didn't know if the arrow he hit in Jinzhou City was related to Hong Wencheng and Zhao Jue who were also in the city, he only knew that whether it was Zhu Lifei or King Ying, he would not allow their conspiracy to succeed!

Zhao Wei didn't know about this, he played with Gao Zhen for a while, and after another boxing competition, he broke up and went home amicably. He reported the words of King Guangping to his grandmother one by one, and saw that most of the gloom on his grandmother Zhang's face disappeared at once.

He was a little curious, and quietly asked Zhang: "Grandmother, who is the person behind Zhu Lifei?" What exactly do they want to do? ”

Zhang gently patted his grandson's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not your child's business, forget about it quickly, and don't tell anyone when you go home." ”

Zhao Wei obediently agreed, and asked again: "Grandmother, are we going home?" King Quang Binh told us to go home with peace of mind, so when will we go back? ”

Zhang smiled: "It's still hot at this time, are you so anxious to go back?" ”

Zhao Wei nodded vigorously: "I miss my sister, I still have homework, Mr. assigned me to write the article, I have finished writing, I have finished practicing, and I still have some experience, I want to go back as soon as possible to ask Mr." Jingli is not interesting, although the prince of Guangping is very good, but he also seems to have a lot of troubles, and I am embarrassed to always disturb him. ”

"Oh?" Zhang originally wanted to ask the prince what was going on, but after thinking about it, he felt that the matter of the prince was worried about by the king of Guangping and his wife, so why should he ask more? He said no more, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, in three days, let's set off." You can go back to your room and tell your subordinates to pack their bags. ”

Zhao Wei happily responded and ran back to his yard. Zhang sat in the hall and thought carefully about the things in Beijing, sighed, and planned to send someone to greet her relatives and friends tomorrow, saying that she was ready to leave. As the old lady of the General Zhuguo Mansion said, the situation in Beijing is becoming more and more incomprehensible, her family is old and small, it is better to leave earlier, didn't you see that the old girlfriend came to the door yesterday, and today she went out of Beijing to Xishan for the summer?

The Zhang family summoned the people in the house and announced the decision, and Lu Dashou and his wife reacted very fiercely.

Lu Dashou just changed his face and asked, "Why is the old lady in such a hurry?" His wife blurted out directly: "The old lady is leaving now, what about the title?" Don't you want a knighthood? (To be continued......)
