Chapter 48: The Son of Heaven's Retribution

A few days later, Xiao Zhen got a clear decree and was appointed as the water supervisor of the capital, the water platform of the capital, and the fifth grade.

The official position is not high in Tokyo, but he is in charge of the entire maritime affairs. Moreover, he was originally a prince, and the title has reached the prince, and the official product is secondary.

After getting off the court, Xiao Zhen went straight to the Jinyun Palace where his biological mother, Concubine Shu, was. His father ordered him to take office within three days, and he had to say goodbye to his mother.

Concubine Shu's surname is Cui, she is forty and three this year, but she is still beautiful, and she doesn't know how to maintain it, she looks like Xiao Zhen's sister. Her maiden family is the Qinghe clan, although it is only a branch. Before being included in the palace, he had a marriage with the little general surnamed Fu. It's a pity that General Fu Xiao died in the war to pacify the barbarians in the south, and when the Emperor Taishang assigned the current saint to pay for Fu's relatives, the emperor took her who was only sixteen years old and had a reputation for guarding the door directly into his own arms, in the way of real dragon meat.

According to the secret royal family secrets that circulated secretly, before the emperor ascended the dragon throne, he once went to Qinghe to do business, met Cui Shufei, and fell in love at first sight, and the relationship between the two was already unclear. At that time, although the battle for the throne was not clear, the arrogant Concubine Cui Shu was optimistic about her sweetheart.

As for the death of General Fu Xiao, it is also inextricably linked to the emperor. At that time, the barbarians in the south rioted, and when the imperial court sent personnel to the border to pacify, there was no matter of paying the little general. It is the fifth prince, that is, the current saint strongly recommends General Fu Xiao to be his lieutenant.

People who have seen the body of General Fu Xiao said that General Fu Xiao died a strange death, judging from the shape of the wound and the part of the injury, the arrow came from his own sergeant...... The meaning alludes to the fact that the emperor is the wife of the snatcher, regardless of the overall situation of the country. Regardless of the country's social affairs, regardless of morality and morality. actually put a cold arrow in the despicable back on the battlefield, or to his own lieutenant!

It's simply that. Shameless!

But in any case, Concubine Cui Shu started from the prince's concubine, moved to the palace with the emperor's accession to the throne, and rose step by step to the head of the concubines, and almost became the queen.

It is said that the emperor is unlucky, even if it is a peerless beauty, there is a way to be a flower without a hundred days. But. The tough Concubine Cui Shufei is an exception, and it is a miracle that she has been favored in the harem for more than 20 years. Or, it can be called wonderful. If she is said to be dignified and generous, it is just knowledgeable, but she is an arrogant and domineering, flamboyant and high-profile, so this grace brings out more sincerity and is even more rare.

And years of cruel palace fighting. Although Concubine Cui Shu had three sons and two daughters, only the Nine Emperor Princes survived with all beards and tails. The eldest and fourth princes both died before they were one year old, and the two princesses did not live past the age of five.

Cui Shufei's biggest enemy is the Empress Xiao, no matter how much she is favored. But it can't occupy the right position. Finally, the Xiao family passed away in the fourth year of Qicheng, but the Hou Party is still there. So the emperor was forced to promise not to establish the queen again, and the second prince of the queen, King Jing Xiaozhong, was the most legitimate candidate for the crown prince.

Obviously, her son is better. is obviously more favored by the emperor! Why! Just because she is not a wife, her son has to fall behind? When the emperor gave a commoner reckless girl to the emperor's ninth son. Cui Shufei felt that her son had no hope of owning the world. Let alone. Rumors began to circulate outside that the emperor was finally tired of her, and marrying King Jin was a sign.

However, she has been fighting all her life, relying on grabbing, and desperately struggling to come over, how can she be restrained?

When Xiao Zhen walked into the Golden Cloud Palace, he saw such a picture. The concubine was still radiant, like a goddess, but her face was gloomy and cold, and she walked around on the high platform alone, looking restless.

Next to him, several palace maids and eunuchs stood with their heads down, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Mother." Xiao Zhen shouted, giving a slight salute.

Cui Shufei's beautiful eyes lit up and stretched out her hand to Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen hurriedly walked up the steps, and Concubine Cui Shufei grabbed her son and walked into the house, while giving a series of instructions, "Quickly put the snacks and tea that King Jin likes." Then go to the imperial dining room and let them add a few dishes that King Jin likes to eat, and King Jin ate here in the palace at noon today. Remember, don't use well water to hold watermelons, it's already autumn, and you can't eat too cold ......"

The palace maids and eunuchs were turned around, and soon there were no others outside the main hall, except for Cui Shufei, who was a personal girl from childhood to adulthood, and now she has been promoted to the Zhao family. And when the mother and son stepped into the threshold, the Zhao family stayed outside the door, which was a bit of a husband.

Concubine Cui Shufei pressed her son to sit on the edge of the collapse, the motherly expression on her face dissipated, her posture stood straight, her expression was majestic, and she asked bluntly, "Did the emperor really send you to Dongjin?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Zhen is colorful, and his sitting posture is also unusually upright.

The mother had high requirements for him, and the education he received since he was a child was very strict, even cruel. If you do something wrong, you will be punished in many ways, including starving for days. So in front of his mother, he formed an instinct, and he would never be slack and relaxed.

"How could he do this!" Cui Shufei gritted her teeth and said.

"This is a reuse of the resonant, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Zhen didn't expect her mother's reaction to be so big.

"It's disqualifying you from competing for the throne completely! to make way for that incompetent wreck. Cui Shufei was furious, "Slap and give a sweet date, look at you and be complacent." ”

"Mother!" Even if he knew that there were people guarding the door outside, the palace was heavy, and he was not afraid that outsiders would listen to these words, Xiao Zhen still lowered his voice, "Don't underestimate water transportation, you can prosper the country or destroy the country." How could his father be wise, how could he create a powerful force before the crown prince was appointed, so that the future emperor would be constrained and cause internal affairs to be uneasy? ”

"He just saw that you were kind!" Cui Shufei sneered, "Even if that wretch wins the world, you can't control it, but you hold the most important lifeline, how can you not protect Da Zhao at that time!" Giving grace first, then reaping profits, is his usual style! ”

"Mother Concubine, my father is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and now he is the age when he knows the destiny of heaven, and his health is still very good, so he will not be determined as the prince so early." Xiao Zhen sighed, "In the world, there are capable people living in it." The father and emperor worked hard, just to let Da Zhao prosper, how could he be handed over to the incompetent? ”

"The emperor's heart is unpredictable, what can't you?" Cui Shufei's eyes shone. Staring at his son, "Remember when you were five years old?" I asked you then. Whether you want to be the emperor in the future or not, let you think clearly. Once you have decided, you can't turn back. You thought about it for three days and told me you wanted to ascend to the dragon throne. Since that day, I have been planning for you. At this time, seeing that the party is weak, don't you be so unproductive, okay? You went to Dongjin, far away from the center of the court, away from your father, what can I do as a woman? There's a wind and grass. It's too late for me to look for you again! ”

Erchen felt that his father had a plan in his heart, and at this time, his wife was eye-catching. The most important thing now is to handle the affairs of shipping well and enrich the national treasury. Isn't this a test for his father to his son! If you do it well, it will be a great contribution to my Da Zhao, and what reward or decision will my father do will really justify! Mother, you have been with the king for almost 30 years, why don't you understand! ”

"That's it alone." Cui Shufei flicked her sleeves violently. "Who asked him to book you such a room before! Don't you know that your father is the most important person. He may reuse capable people, but he will never distort the so-called orthodoxy. If it weren't for that, how could that wretch be held so high? The wreckage in her mouth refers to the second prince Jing Wang Xiaozhong born by the former queen.

King Jing is this person. It is really worthy of the word "medium" in the name, and his actions are very mediocre, not outstanding and inconspicuous. But it doesn't drag its feet too much, if it weren't for identity. There is almost no presence. The mother concubine was very wary of King Jing, because she felt that the dog that would bite people did not bark.

"So. If you marry a commoner, you are destined to no longer be able to fight. In addition, he sent you to the beach, and the high position seemed to be compensated in advance, so how can I rest assured! Cui Shufei snorted heavily, "You have to understand, as long as you walk on this road, you can't stop, and there is no turning back when you open the bow, because you either win or die!" ”

For more than 20 years, she has been rampant and domineering, if her son can't ascend the throne, once the emperor collapses, she will have no way to live in the harem, because there are too many people who have offended. Perhaps, it will not be a good death, and it is very likely that he will be forced to be buried. She is not afraid of death, nor is she ruthless to the emperor, but in her life, what she hates most is to be at the mercy of others!

"I won't marry her, don't worry." For some reason, Xiao Zhen felt that his heart was gradually getting cold, not beating as warm and gentle as in front of Liuli, "I also told her clearly." ”

"What? What did you say? And what did she say? Cui Shufei was surprised.

"She agreed, and she didn't say a word." Xiao Zhen also stared at her mother, "She is a trustworthy person, she can find Ruyi Langjun in two years, and she will never stalk her sons." So, you don't have to bother getting rid of her. ”

Cui Shufei was stunned.

It took a long time before he slowly said, "You know? ”

"Mother, the assassination at Dongjin Port is not clever." Xiao Zhen smiled helplessly, "I don't even need to investigate, just ask anyone who knows my itinerary that day, and nine times out of ten it has been concluded that it was the concubine who made it." The mother concubine doesn't know martial arts, so naturally she doesn't understand, there is a difference between pretending to assassinate and really asking for human life, see it. Even if all the clues are involved in the second emperor brother in the end......"

"It's the bad thing that doesn't work." The so-called unsuccessful refers to Xiao Yu, "You didn't report to your father?" ”

"Erchen has his own rhetoric, and he didn't mention the second emperor's brother, because his father won't believe it, but will be suspicious of Erchen." Xiao Zhen was very sober and not as excited as his mother, "After all, the second emperor brother is the son of his father, because the eldest emperor died early, the second emperor brother is like the eldest son, and the father is distressed." What the mother and concubine did, the sons and daughters knew, and the father was so shrewd, how could he not know? He didn't expose it, he just didn't want to deal with it, he really stabbed it, what did he want his father to do? Mother, don't ruin your long-standing relationship with your father. ”

The assassination tied Liuli's life and the suspicion of the second emperor's brother. It's just that this trick is not very clever.

"Also, don't touch the glass again." Xiao Zhen finally said, a little warning.

"You have a crush on her?" Cui Shufei raised her eyebrows, and she was inexplicably surprised.

"I'm not going to marry her." The answer is not what is asked, but it hides deep helplessness and regret.
