The emperor's disposition is as light as a weight, it can be said that silence is better than sound, and some people are happy and some are sad.

Recently, there has been an increasing number of secrets about Yang Zhi's construction of caves and hoarding of ordnance and materials on the islands off the coast of Shandong. Even though the emperor was vigilant, he was a little unimpressed. As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue have converted to the territory, the coastline under the jurisdiction of Great Xia has greatly expanded, and Great Xia has no time and is unable to take care of it at present. Wouldn't it be better to pretend to be deaf and dumb and let Yang Zhi control the maritime trade routes in the rich land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

The secret message to Yang Zhi did not mention a word about the turmoil in Jinan, and the reply was simple and neat: I am very relieved. With my back, just rest assured to do it.

Ma Cheng understood the emperor's temperament and understood the rules of the palace. On weekdays, when the courtiers come to see or come to the door to announce the decree, the reward of three or five hundred taels is still calmly received, and thousands of taels are very hot, if there is no acquiescence of the emperor, they dare not accept it easily.

The five thousand taels of silver was unceremoniously accepted, no matter how Zhao Dang asked, he refused to say a word more: "Thank you for the generous reward, please don't let the Sprinkle family be embarrassed." ”

Ma Cheng said goodbye and came to King Kang's Mansion, and his style was the same as that of King Kang's Mansion in Ning, except that King Kang Zhao Dang only rewarded three thousand taels, which was equivalent to a playback.

When I arrived at King Fu's Mansion, it was a different scene.

It is said that ginger is old and spicy, and King Fu has long held the mind that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. In case the emperor's brother investigates deeply, your precious son is the mastermind, and my brother and I are only an accomplice at best. The worst result is nothing more than pushing out the self-proclaimed Ding Shiquan as a scapegoat. Now that there is no evidence and it is a big New Year, is it possible that you really want to start to rectify your son and brother-in-law?

King Fu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he did not open the palace until he reached the age of sixteen. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is small with Ma Cheng. The two have been dealing with each other for decades and have a very close relationship.

Among the many princes and dignitaries. King Fu's net worth is the richest, and he has always been generous and generous. As soon as we met. The palace housekeeper was very familiar with giving Ma Cheng a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, and everyone in the entourage had a reward of 200 taels.

King Fu didn't ask Ma Cheng's intentions, and pulled Ma Cheng's dry hand like a chicken claw, and pulled him to his seat: "Old Ma, there are many good things in this palace, but it's a pity that you are in the deep palace, and it is difficult to use them." Saving a few more silver to keep for the elderly is more practical than anything else. You're also an old man, so let's warm up with a glass of wine first! ”

King Fu chattered like a homely talk. Ma Cheng couldn't refuse, so he had to drink a glass of warm rice wine. But after all, the business is important, as soon as he put down the wine glass, he got up solemnly and said: "Lord, the Sprinkle family is ordered to announce the oracle!" ”

According to common sense, King Fu should kneel and listen to the oracle. Zhao Xing couldn't even afford it, so he took a glass of wine and said, "This is not the Golden Palace, why are you doing all this false work?" If the royal brother has anything to say, just say it! ”

And the light and the dust. Is that really the case? Ma Cheng sighed secretly in his heart, and said expressionlessly: "The emperor's edict: The Jinan Customs Branch Office has made Su Ziming's assassination attempt unsuccessful, and the matter is small but big. The emperor's younger brother has been idle for many years. so that ambitions cannot be carried out. If you feel that life is too good and lonely, you might as well go to Shandong to investigate the case in detail and worry about me! ”

The Emperor's words were extremely serious. Replace it with someone else. You might be scared out of your pee. What does it mean to be full of ambition and not to be able to do it? What does it mean to live too well? What does it mean to be lonely? The emperor just didn't point at King Fu's nose and scolded: I have been an emperor for nearly thirty years, and you are never convinced. It doesn't stop. I can get used to you, or I can trample you to death! Thoughts on brotherhood. You'd better be honest with me!

King Fu knew very well in his heart that the emperor's dictation was both an explicit and stern warning and a trap. He is absolutely not allowed to be impulsive, and there is no second way to go except to bow his head and give in. The weather is cold, the New Year is approaching, the road from Chang'an to Jinan is far away, not to mention the investigation of the case, it takes three or four months to go back and forth, not to mention the situation. King Fu has always been pampered, a lot of old people, at this time to go to Shandong to "investigate the case", what are you kidding? But King Fu also knows very well the emperor's brother's character, as long as he dares to push his mouth against the cow, I'm afraid he will really have to go to Jinan for the New Year!

No matter how familiar Ma Cheng is with King Fu, it is impossible to fabricate a reply for him out of thin air. King Fu held his breath for a moment, and said helplessly: "The emperor admonished, and the ministers were afraid. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace. The younger brother is old and frail, and he is unable to take on this important responsibility, and he hopes that the emperor will be compassionate. ”

Hearing that King Fu's reply was quite decent, Ma Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The reward of this carefree prince is not easy to take, and after finishing the official article, he consciously talked about the general situation of going to Ning Wangfu and Kang Wangfu. King Fu didn't seem to pay much attention, but casually asked about the emperor's daily life recently.

The emperor's physical condition and daily life have been regarded as confidential matters since ancient times. King Fu and the emperor are brothers, Ma Cheng thought of this, and it was not easy to push the plug perfunctory, only briefly replied a few words, and then hurriedly left.

King Fu watched Ma Cheng leave, with a cold smile in his eyes and whispered: "Brother Huang, thanks to you, I can live enough in this life." But what about you? See how long you can last! ”

After King Kang Zhao Dang received the concert sent by Ma Cheng, he discussed with his confidant Li Zuo as the first time.

"It seems that my father is suspicious of me, thinking that this king did it!" The turmoil in Jinan, Zhao Kang has heard about it for a long time. I didn't want to do anything about myself, but I just gloated on the wall. At this time, he asked worriedly: "Does this king need to defend himself?" ”

Li Zuo's scheming may not be much inferior to Ding Shiquan, and it didn't take much effort to sort out the context. Shaking his head, he said: "At first glance, the prince is indeed suspicious, no wonder the emperor is suspicious." This time, there was neither a holy decree nor an oracle, and Gonggong Ma also went to King Ning's Mansion and King Fu's Mansion, which is enough to show that the Sacred Heart is illuminated. The Qing is self-purifying, and if the prince defends himself, it will become darker and darker in the eyes of outsiders, which will make the emperor look down on him. ”

Zhao Dang said uneasily: "According to Mr. Wang's opinion, what is the intention of my father?" ”

Li Zuo groaned: "The emperor is to make the prince feel at ease, and the second is to implicitly beat, in order to make the prince settle down." Not long after the emperor rewarded Niangniang, this time he saw through the tricks of King Ning and King Fu in vain trying to blame. Now it seems that the prince has a slight upper hand in the emperor's mind. Because of this, the prince needs to be more cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and must not let people grasp the slightest handle. ”

"That'...... What does the gentleman mean is that this king should have no such thing and don't have to do anything? ”

Li Zuo nodded and said, "In fact, the prince didn't do anything this time!" Now it should be King Ning who feels a headache, and it is definitely not the prince. During this period of time, the prince only needs to abide by his duty and do his best. With static braking, wait and see what happens, that's the best. ”

Zhao Dang relaxed at this time, and made a vague promise: "I still have to rely on Mr. Daxue's talent, and the king of Japan will not be disappointed." ”

is also a confidant of the prince, and Ding Shiquan's situation at this time is very different from Li Zuo. Zhao Dang has been worried for many days, and today he finally waited for a result. Behind the stack of concertos, there seemed to be a number of clear faces: the emperor's contemptuous sneer, the Fu King Zhao Xing's panic wiping cold sweat, the smug of King Kang Zhao Dang, the disdainful mockery of Yang Zhi, and the ridicule ...... of the Zaifu ministers.

All this made Zhao Dang almost suffocated, ashamed and indignant. After sitting for a long time, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, threw a stack of pieces in front of Ding Shiquan, gritted his teeth and said, "If Mr. doesn't dislike it, just keep it and wipe your buttocks!" ”

Of course, Ding Shiquan would not touch his head at this time, and said with a sneering face: "The prince is angry." It's a long time to come! ”

What the master and servant never expected was that the emperor's disposition only made them feel comfortable, but the "New Year's gift" brought by Yang Fatal was shocking! …… It's even a little disgusting. (To be continued......)
