The first time Zheng Rui saw King Huai in his memory was at the palace banquet in Yufeng's tenth year. At that time, Concubine De was lingering on the sickbed and did not attend. Now he was only eleven at that time, but he led Zheng Rui, who was younger than him.

At that time, Zheng Rui fell into the water, and he was already looking stupid, and Concubine De's body deteriorated after Zheng Rui fell into the water, and the Song family also retreated back to Jiangling from the Jiangnan Turtle, only guarding the ancestral tomb and ancestral house. Concubine De has lost her grace, and the attitude of the queen mother is not cold, Shuyun Palace is said to be Concubine De's resting place, but it is just equivalent to a cold palace.

Two princes who do not have a sacred heart, although the palace people are not slack, but the snub is always indispensable.

Jinshang took Zheng Rui to sit in a remote place, just waiting for the palace banquet to disperse, so that he could go back to Shuyun Palace to see Concubine De.

As a prince who was already stupid in the eyes of the world, Zheng Rui just hid behind Jinshang, looking at everything at the palace banquet with numb and empty eyes. When he was shaking his mind, he heard a voice say: "Why don't you see the two children from Concubine De?" ”

Although Zheng Rui didn't dare to follow the sound, he could guess that the one who could say this must be today's protagonist King Huai.

This palace banquet was originally for the purpose of carrying the king to catch the wind and wash the dust. King Gainhuai won a complete victory in southern Xinjiang, not only recovering the cities lost during the turmoil of the previous dynasty, but also forcing the southern Xinjiang countries to become vassals of the Great Zhou Dynasty and signing a century-old tribute agreement.

King Huai is an important minister of the clan, and now he is in the limelight for a while.

Although he is a very human minister, Zheng Rui does not have any sense of oppression when facing him, he only feels that he is gentle and amiable, more like an ordinary elder.

King Huai looked at Zheng Rui for a while. Only then did he say with regret: "I hugged you on the day you were one year old, but now it's a pity." ”

At this time, Zheng Rui, who was already mentally exhausted, just smirked at King Huai.

"Brother Huang, Ah Rui was very clever when he was young, and now this is really heart-wrenching, but the Imperial Doctor has seen it well?" King Huai pulled Zheng Rui to him, and asked Emperor Yufeng, who was sitting on it.

After Zheng Rui was stupid, Emperor Yufeng also pitied him for a while, but he never lacked a diligent son in front of him, so he gradually faded away. Seeing King Huai asking. He only replied with a smile: "The imperial doctor has already seen it." There is no improvement. Today is to wash the dust for the fourth brother, don't mention such a thing again. ”

Just as Zheng Rui sneered in his heart, he heard King Huai say: "The younger brother brought two people back from southern Xinjiang, but he knows some Qihuang techniques." Otherwise, let Ari come to my house and let them see. ”

Emperor Yufeng glanced at King Huai seriously at this time. He didn't care: "In that case." According to the words of his brother. After speaking, he said to Zheng Rui, "Ah Rui, your imperial uncle cares about you so much. Don't bow to him yet! ”

Zheng Rui just laughed a few times, and the look of innocence on Emperor Yufeng's face flashed, and he waved his hand to let people lead him down.

Then King Huai really brought the two doctors from southern Xinjiang to diagnose Zheng Rui's pulse, but they were also insulators. After seeing it a few times, there was still no improvement, and King Huai stopped mentioning this matter.

Zheng Rui thought that this chapter would be over, as an elder, King Huai may only be sympathetic to sigh like this. But he also grew up under the fall of the palace, so he naturally knew that the battle in the palace was unusual, and he could be burned at any time.

But within two days, he saw Princess Huai standing in the side hall of Shuyun Palace, and reprimanded a slave in Shuyun Palace with an angry face: "The master is the master, and the slave is the slave." I don't care who's behind you, if you mess me off, don't blame me for tearing her face. ”

After a period of time, the palace people in Shuyun Palace have really settled down a lot, and with the support of King Huai and his wife, the life of Concubine De's mother and son has been much better.

Concubine De once mentioned that King Huai was willing to support their mother and son because he owed his maternal ancestor the favor of the Song family in Jiangling. But human favor is human favor, and in the face of absolute interests, human favor is nothing. What's more, when the Song family retired, Concubine De was weak, and King Huai turned his face and didn't recognize people, what could Concubine De do with him?

After getting married today, Zheng Rui also moved out of the palace together, and since then, he has often stayed in Huaiwangfu with the benefit of being stupid. Not only King Huai, but even the prince Zheng Bin never gave him any face.

Zheng Rui also felt that this imperial uncle was really as glorious as the world said, loyal to the monarch and loving the people, and kind-hearted.

But the truth is often not as he thinks, from now on to contact his grandfather Song family, and after getting manpower and ciphertext from the Song family, Zheng Rui gradually realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

King Huai really asked for a great favor from the Song family, and left the handle in the hands of the Song family. The love and support over the years is just to stabilize the Song family and find greater benefits from the two brothers.

However, perhaps Concubine De didn't know the secret either, or maybe she passed away too suddenly and didn't tell the two brothers, and King Huai hadn't gotten any useful information from the two of them over the years. Zheng Rui, who learned the truth, carefully recalled what King Huai had inadvertently asked before, and only then did he understand the many temptations in between.

"You also know that my grandfather, the Song family, was the money bag of Jiangnan in the previous dynasty." Zheng Rui smiled bitterly at Gu Qingwan, "The government of the previous dynasty was corrupt, and the vassal kings were self-respecting and independent, and the taxes were heavy, but the silver fell into the hands of the vassal kings. My great-grandfather was also a far-sighted person, taking advantage of the turmoil and quietly hiding a sum of money. ”

Gu Qingwan's eyes lit up.

Zheng Rui was amused, patted Gu Qingwan's hand, and said, "When I knew about this matter, it was already the seventeenth year of Yufeng. King Huai didn't know what method he used back then, and he got half of the tens of millions of furniture. If it weren't for the help of these money, he would not have won the battle in southern Xinjiang for four or five years. ”

"Although the Song family has declined since then, in the end, he has a handle on him, and he naturally wants to protect me and the imperial brother." After a pause, Zheng Rui's voice took on a bit of astringency, "Besides, he is still thinking about the other half of the furniture, maybe he wants to find out something from me and the imperial brother." ”

Gu Qingwan thought for a while, and then asked, "It stands to reason that from the words of you and the imperial brother, it is better to find the Song family directly." Moreover, when the Song family went into hiding, and King Huai was cooking with blazing oil, he didn't have to worry about having no means to let the Song family tell the truth. ”

"That's what you're thinking." Zheng Rui shook his head, with a slight smug look on his face, "Fang knows that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Song family has been planning for many years before taking the initiative to hand over power and return to seclusion, which is a world of difference from being forced to surrender." ”

Gu Qingwan couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship.

The Jiangling Song family is a family that has lasted for hundreds of years, and before handing over power, it must have a complete self-protection method. As everyone knows, there are many pairs of eyes staring at the Huaiwang Mansion cooked in fire and oil in this world, and it is clear that the Song family will show a lot of horses' feet, and I don't know if the Song family has any tricks, so it is not a wise move at all.

"Besides, my grandfather once mentioned it to King Huai." Zheng Rui smiled slyly, "The other half of the silver money is left for me and the imperial brother, and the mother concubine has passed away, I am already stupid, he naturally thinks that the imperial brother knows the whereabouts of this silver coin." He didn't want to start with the emperor's brother, so he used me as the starting point. ”

"It is also the layout of the grandfather, although it is dangerous, but with the support of King Huai, the imperial brother and I can survive." Zheng Rui's voice cooled again, "Before learning the truth, my brother and I were really grateful to him, and we were afraid that he would protect us and lay the foundation for the future." ”

The Song family revealed to King Huai that the money belonged to the two grandsons, but they never revealed a little bit of information about the silver money to Concubine De. It is naturally easier to deal with two stunned boys than to deal with a family that is dead but not stiff, so before taking out the whereabouts of the money, King Huai will inevitably keep the Zheng Rui brothers safe.

After Zheng Kai opened the mansion to live in another place, the Song family secretly sent someone to contact him.

Although Zheng Rui's grandfather has passed away, he still expected what would happen more than ten years later, which can be described as far-sighted.

Gu Qingwan could understand the sadness and resentment in Zheng Rui's heart.

Concubine De is the chess piece of the Song family to show loyalty to Emperor Yufeng, and the love between husband and wife is naturally not comparable to the benefits of the world. And Emperor Yufeng is a cold-hearted person, except for some intentions for the prince before he ascended the throne, the rest of his sons are just idle to tease and tease, appease the harem and show his love to the world and courtiers.

Xu is Zheng Rui has suffered too many grievances in front of Emperor Yufeng after being "stupid", so when King Huai appeared as a loving father, Zheng Rui was not without emotion.

The more things he longed for, the more bitter he felt when he was destroyed, and after learning that King Huai's various things were just acting, Zheng Rui would be even more disappointed in his heart.

King Huai wanted the remaining money, but the purpose was not to fill the treasury at all, but for his own personal interests. If such a large sum of money wants to be swallowed in one bite, if it is used to raise soldiers and grain and grass, it is really a hidden danger. It can be seen that King Huai is indeed not small.

"Is he already suspicious?" Gu Qingwan was speechless after hearing this, and it took a long time for her to say this.

Zheng Rui raised his eyebrows, but his expression was not surprised: "How do you know?" ”

"From the moment you mentioned that you blocked the capital but still let the remnants of the ruling mansion escape, I felt that something was wrong." Gu Qingwan said slowly, "This bureau has been laid out for a long time, and you and the imperial brother have been secretly planning for a long time, so it stands to reason that they should be unable to escape." If you escape, it's obvious that there are ghosts on our side. There is no possibility for us, and it is even more impossible for Chen Guogong's Mansion, only Huaiwang's Mansion. ”

"It was precisely because he knew that you and the imperial brother were suspicious of him that he let Zheng Xuan go, at least to bury trouble for you, and he could also fish in troubled waters."

Seeing Zheng Rui's gaze falling deeply on her face, Gu Qingwan tilted her head unnaturally and asked, "This is just my family's words, I don't know if it's right?" (To be continued......)
