Looking at the piles of rewards, Zhang smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, but he didn't forget to tell his grandson in front of the palace envoy that he must continue to work diligently in the future, and not be proud because he was praised by the emperor.

Zhao Wei naturally had to make a humble gesture enough, and stuffed a flat purse into the palace envoy, so that people could touch the small pile of papers inside, and then sent people away happily.

Coaxed her in front of the Zhang family, Zhao Wei turned around and pulled Zhao Xiu to whisper: "Tell my sister to say right, no matter whether the emperor really suspects our family in his heart, as long as we don't make mistakes, he just thinks about it." I have done my errand well, and everyone knows my merits, and no matter how unhappy he is, he can only reward me, and he must reward me generously. ”

Although Zhao Xiu had this conjecture for a long time, he was not as sure as him: "How does my brother know that the emperor is not happy to reward you?" ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "The palace envoy who came here today has never been used in front of the emperor, but is just an ordinary deacon and eunuch." If the emperor was willing, he would never let such a person come with a will and a reward. I'm afraid that the emperor is unhappy and has to reward him, so he will point to someone casually, and think that after outsiders know, they will probably take this reward lightly, so that I have no face, right? ”

Zhao Xiu was so funny when he heard it, what did the emperor think in his heart? As long as he rewards something, and it is indeed a rich and good thing, then no matter whether the eunuch who issued the decree is used by the emperor or not, this dignity will not be discounted. Actually make a fuss about such small details, do you dare to be a little more atmospheric?

No matter what the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family think about this reward from the emperor, it is always a decent joy to receive a reward. Zhao Wei didn't want to hide it from people at all. But he didn't intend to show off, so he went to the yamen the next day and still acted as usual. He also went to thank Shangshu of the Criminal Department for saying good things for him in front of the emperor.

He behaved like this, and there was nothing that the criminal department did not boast about, even those who hated him in their hearts for being young and noble and having holy favors, they couldn't help but say sourly: "If you are young, you will be a man, and the emperor will appreciate him." "The daily office correspondence between the six ministries continued, and soon even the officials of several other ministries knew about Zhao Wei's good reputation. Several old scholars and waiters are both openly and privately. All of them have to praise "Jiannanhou is really a young talent". When the emperor heard the wind, his heart was even more uncomfortable.

It was obviously a young talent who had helped him ascend to the throne, so why couldn't he be loyal to him?

Then the emperor remembered the news he had received from the Empress Dowager's palace. The eyes of the royal brother King Guangping have indeed been much better, it is said that now the King of Guangping can see something vaguely, and when the weather is good in broad daylight, he can go out of the house for a walk without help! This is still the news that the Queen Mother got when she sent someone to the hot spring Zhuangzi last time. There may be more progress now. And so on. Sooner or later, King Quang Binh's eyes will return to their normal appearance, and at that time, will he have thoughts about this throne again?

The emperor felt that if he was replaced by a brother of the same country, it would be impossible for him to have no ideas in his heart.

From the time of the emperor's grandfather's lifetime, King Quang Binh was recognized as the crown prince. Before he was injured and blind, even if the first emperor was confused, he would love Zhu Lifei and her youngest son. I never thought about changing the prince. It is said that Zhu Lifeen mentioned that the first emperor turned his face at that time. I didn't set foot in her palace for half a month, but later Zhu Lifei knew that she was afraid, and she tried her best to coax the first emperor to turn around, and then she regained her favor. From then on, she no longer dared to talk about the throne of King Guangping in front of the first emperor, but instead colluded with King Ying - or fell for King Ying - to black hand King Guangping, so that he lost the qualification to become the heir to the throne, and then the matter was done.

However, the first emperor still did not explicitly say that he wanted the king of Guangping to abdicate and make way for Xian, without him, the latter's position was set by his Lao Tzu, he obviously did everything against his Lao Tzu's wishes, but he still wanted the world to praise him as a filial son. King Guangping didn't open his mouth, who dared to ask him to retreat? It's just that King Guangping himself knows what is going on, his eyes can't see, he can't be a member of the court, even if no one urges him to abdicate, the court will not continue to recognize him as a prince, so he took the initiative to abdicate, but pushed his younger brother to the position of the crown prince.

Without his support, as well as the desperate planning of his subordinates, the fourth son of the first emperor who was still King Le'an at that time, and the current emperor, who had received the education of King Xian since he was a child, how could he sit on the throne so easily? At that time, he even entered the ministry to study, and he had to help King Guangping with great effort. Later, even if he became the prince in peace, he was far inferior to his brother in terms of ability, ability, ability, experience, and personal charm. At this point, just by looking at the expressions of the people in the palace recommended by King Guangping, the emperor could guess it. If it weren't for the fact that he was far less capable than his brother, how could he easily fall into King Ying's trap and almost be blocked in Jiangnan and couldn't go back? Later, the palace mutiny was quelled, the mess was cleaned up, and it was the elder brother who did everything for him. Without this blind brother, he might not have been able to sit on the throne.

The emperor knew very well in his heart that his ability was not as good as that of his brother, and his reputation was not as good as that of his brother, and even his experience in governing was not as rich as his brother. As long as King Quang Binh does not have the weakness of being unable to look at, the important ministers of the court will definitely think that he is a more competent emperor than himself. He could only desperately learn what he should learn, and at the same time carefully watch out for those powerful officials in the court, trying to be a competent monarch. He must be extremely vigilant about people and things that may threaten him.

What he needs most now is time, and as long as he has enough time, he can train enough manpower to be loyal to only his manpower. When the court is full of his people, and the military and political power is all in his hands, he will no longer have to worry that King Guangping will threaten him. When the time comes, he will definitely treat this royal brother who has helped him a lot. But it's still too early, and the emperor's eyes can't get better, so why can't he give himself a little more time? It doesn't take too long, just ten years, even if it's five years!

The emperor felt in his heart that he was afraid that King Guangping also had some selfishness in his heart, otherwise why would he not stay in Beijing for medical treatment? Could it be that he, who is a younger brother, can still plot against his brother? If the king of Quang Binh was innocent, there would be no need to be so wary of people.

The Emperor secretly gritted his teeth. After thinking about it, I finally decided to take some action.

King Guangping recuperated in the hot spring village and never returned to the capital even during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Only sent the prince Gao Zhen back to the palace once to say hello to the queen mother and the emperor. The queen mother was very concerned about her eldest son, but when she heard that his eyes had improved greatly, she couldn't take care of it much, and told her grandson again and again: "Let your father just take care of his eyes, and when he is cured, he will come back to see me, and I am also happy in my heart." Don't be in a hurry to come back to see me, an old woman. I delayed my own eyes. Gao Zhen naturally agreed.

But now the emperor went to tell the Queen Mother: "The imperial brother has never come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so won't Chongyang come back either?" So how long will he live on the Zhuangzi? My son thinks it's not too cold yet. It is only right to move the royal brother back to the city first. Otherwise, when it is winter, the cold wind is biting, the wind and snow are combined, and the royal brother wants to return to the city again. But it's even harder. Although the palace is not as warm as the hot spring Zhuangzi. But it is not difficult to build a larger warm pavilion, and it is very cheap for the queen mother to visit. ”

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Why bother? The hot springs are warm in the village, and the food is fresher than in the city, so let your imperial brother stay there. Doctor Ye said that it is not allowed to move easily, and it is better not to take risks. She still knows the importance in her heart, her eldest son went to Jiangnan for more than a year, and she will not force him to return to Beijing regardless of her son's health because of a few months of separation.

The emperor said, "Doctor Ye is a miracle doctor. I think there are still some means to do this. If you don't move easily, you must be afraid that the imperial brother will bump into it. But the imperial brother also has a walk in the Zhuangzi on weekdays, right? Tell someone to hit a steady, big wagon. Just sit down and go back to the city slowly. No matter how warm the hot spring Zhuangzi is, you can't let the imperial brother spend the New Year there, right? If you don't move this time, when it snows, the road will be really difficult to walk. ”

The Queen Mother then remembered that in three months, it would be the New Year again. During the Chinese New Year, of course, King Guangping had to return to the capital, and he could not let him spend the New Year alone outside. Some royal ceremonies and occasions are also indispensable for his absence. Although it is a big deal to recuperate and cure eyes, if King Guangping really doesn't even show his face during the New Year, there should be bad gossip outside.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment before she sighed: "Okay, I'll send someone to Zhuangzi tomorrow to ask and see when your imperial brother can move." ”

The emperor showed a smile on his face: "Okay, my son will order the Internal Affairs Office to build a new carriage, which will be bigger and more stable than ordinary carriages." ”

The Empress Dowager's people arrived at the hot spring Zhuangzi and soon met Gao Zhen, the prince of Guangping. After listening to the envoy's intention, he asked the queen mother again about the reason for this thought, and he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, the emperor Longen." This is a long story, Dr. Ye once mentioned the details to me, wait for me to return to the palace in two days, and explain it to the imperial grandmother. There is no need to worry about my father's return to the city for the New Year, and after a while, my father will not have to worry about the bumps on the road. ”

But the messenger was glad, and went back to the palace on the same day to report it. Only the emperor happily sent two henchmen eunuchs, two henchmen guards, and two henchmen to the hot spring Zhuangzi, saying that it was for Dr. Ye, so that he must cure his imperial brother as soon as possible, and also rewarded Dr. Ye with many valuable things, including medicinal materials, treasures, clothing and fur, medical books, pen and ink in the study, and five hundred taels of silver, which is really a generous reward.

It's a pity that Dr. Ye seems to be a person who is not very lucky, and he fell ill in less than two days after receiving the reward, seeing that the symptoms were cold and cough, and fever symptoms, the two imperial doctors surrounded him for a long time, prescribed a prescription, grabbed the medicine and ate it. He was sweating, the fever had subsided, but the illness was getting heavier and heavier, and the whole person was groggy, not to mention treating the king of Guangping, he had to be moved away first, and he didn't pass the illness on the nobles.

When King Guangping heard the news, his expression was indifferent, and he only said: "I am the one who has caused him." ”

Gao Zhen stood aside, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he suddenly smiled for a while, and said, "My son will go back to the palace immediately." Doctor Ye can't hold on, the two doctors are useless, and they can't even cure a minor cold, what use do you want them to do? The son has to go back and beg the imperial grandmother to ask the imperial grandmother to reward two more doctors who are really capable. ”

King Guangping glanced at his son's expression and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Why bother so much? Wouldn't it be better for me to go back to the palace and recuperate? (To be continued......)
