Chapter 111: Where to return at the end of the world
"Young Master Nai!" Zhao Yue was respectful to a thin man in a green robe, but a reluctant smile appeared on his face, and he was even more helpless and worried.
The person with a rather elegant demeanor in front of him is Naraku!
"Sir!" Naraku also looked modest, bowed his head, and said with a smile: "But back from the palace?"
"Uh..."A trace of panic flashed in Zhao Yue's eyes: his every move, he knew very well, if it went on like this, wouldn't nothing escape his eyes? This man is terrible! After thinking about it, he knew in his heart that he couldn't hide it, so he had to nod slowly and said, "Exactly!"
"Congratulations, sir! The prince is now upright, understands the overall situation, and weighs the pros and cons. It has only been more than a month since he participated in politics, and he has won the support of many ministers in the court. It's not in vain Mr. Wang's years of hard work..."Naraku's voice was gentle, but his eyes were extremely sharp, as if to penetrate his thoughts.
Zhao Yue sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that there was no way to avoid it, and said shamefully: "Young Master Nai praises falsely!" Zhao was ashamed. If it weren't for Nai Shao's clever plan to turn things around, how could Zhao be virtuous? After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "Thanks to Miss Su's generosity this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to his senses."
"Oh..."Naraku smiled meaningfully and said, "So Mr. Su, I have to thank Miss Su very much!"
"Yes, yes." Zhao Yue bowed his head frequently, but his face was filled with guilt. "Don't worry, Miss Su lives in the Splendid Garden, composes music and music on weekdays, and lives in a simple place. During the time when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was participating in politics, he was busy with affairs, and rarely logged in to the other garden to disturb Miss Su! ”
"Sir, bothered!" Naraku hid his smile and said solemnly: "You and I take what we need, each for our own master, and I hope that Mr. will remember the agreement between you and me, never forget the original intention, and act prudently!"
"Zhao doesn't dare! Always keep in mind that it was just a mistake at the beginning, and I was ashamed of Miss Su, so ... Shameless to face, please forgive Nai Shao. Zhao Yue shook his head slowly, quite helpless. Although the little girl accompanies the prince, she lives in another garden, and the little girl and Miss Su are also teachers and friends, and they have a close friendship with each other, and they are like sisters, and they will definitely live up to the trust of the young master. ”
"Since the gentleman knows in his heart, then... Excuse me, sir, please! Naraku clenched his fists and smiled, turned around and floated away.
"Nai Shao's words are heavy!" Zhao Yue looked at Naluo's lean and thin back and disappeared in the west wing, and his hanging heart slowly relaxed, and scenes that made him miserable gradually appeared in front of him......
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhao Zimo hijacked the tribute halfway and pretended to be an envoy to go to the Moon Kingdom, after Emperor Zhen learned about it, he was furious, and the ministers of the court and the central government impeached the prince for many crimes, especially the shocking matter of Li Moxiao's abolition of concubines and concubines.
Zhao Yue saw that Emperor Zhen was furious, and left his seat angrily, leaving the Manchu ministers sighing and beating their chests: so let the prince mess around, I am afraid that the court will be useless and the court law will be ruined.
Zhao Yue thought that his children were also involved, although Emperor Zhen and the ministers of the court did not know the inside story for the time being, but the paper could not contain the fire after all, he was secretly worried, trembling as if walking on thin ice.
The courtiers took turns to come to the door, and they worked hard to mobilize Zhao Yue to admonish the prince, how could the prince set up by the day country over the past generations be so absurd? not only dismissed the concubine and dismissed the concubine, but also did something shocking to the world for a woman: robbed the tribute halfway, pretended to be a messenger to go to the Moon Country, how could such absurdity bear the burden of the country? Take on the great responsibility of the world? took advantage of the fact that the matter had not been hyped up by people with ill intentions, and gave it a handle, which became the laughing stock of all countries. Hurry up to protect the face and reputation of the whole country, abolish the position of the prince, and set up another prince.
It turns out that the imperial family of the day country has ancestral teachings, if the prince is not wise, the resourcefulness is insufficient, and the ambition to find another great bird can be abandoned.
Emperor Zhen was brave and good at fighting, mighty and outstanding, and stood out among several princes as the prince, but because of a thought, he sent troops with resentment, and as a result, he was defeated by Yan Xingchen, so that the day country served the moon country for many years and was protected by the moon country. This humiliation, like a stabbing throat, made Emperor Zhen remember to discipline himself and abide by it. Therefore, there is no one in the harem concubine Liao Liao, and the heirs are withered, only Li Moxiao has one son and three princesses.
There is also a clear provision in the ancestral training of the day kingdom that if the reigning emperor has an heir who is not up to the task, he can also be degraded to a concubine and praise a close relative.
Emperor Zhen had four imperial brothers, the eldest imperial brother Mingrui Gong, the second imperial brother Wenkang Gong, the third imperial brother Pingxu Gong, and the fourth imperial brother Qingze Gong.
Ming Ruigong died young, had no children under his knees, and married a daughter far away. When Wenkang Gong was a teenager, he experienced a love catastrophe, realized the red dust, and escaped into the empty door. Although the two of them are still holding the title of duke, they are already like a dream, and everything is empty.
Ping Xugong fought bravely back then, but he was not calm enough and too reckless. And Qing Zegong likes to stay in the wind and snow, and let go of the flowers. Therefore, Emperor Zhen won the brave and unscrupulous Three Emperor Brothers, the Four Emperor Brothers who were dissolute, and he was honored as the crown prince when he was still young.
However, no one could have imagined that the mediocre martial artist Pingxu Gong was actually vigorous, the mansion was shining, and he had six sons and four daughters under his knees, all of whom were brave and strategic, ambitious, and women did not let their eyebrows be shaved. In particular, the youngest son, Luo Wang Li Zhenchen, is the brave champion of the three armies, and he is angry.
Qing Zegong was merciful all his life, and he was merciful everywhere, but he never married a concubine or concubine, and he had no heirs under his knees. When I was young, there were often famous singers or fireworks women who came to the door and cried, saying that they were pregnant with the flesh and blood of the four princes, and the Qing Ze Gong scattered them with money and treasures, and laughed over, neither investigating the truth of the matter, nor letting the flesh and blood recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. Over time, no woman wanted to enter the Qingze Mansion, and since then, the courtyard has been deserted and quiet. Qing Zegong, who has entered the prime of life, has a pure heart and few desires, and almost does not go out, cutting off contact with the outside world. At the beginning of Emperor Zhen's ascension to the throne, he was summoned many times, and he refused to enter the palace on the grounds of concentrating on cultivation. Emperor Zhen had no choice but to be free with his uninhibited temperament.
It is said that Li Zhenchen, the king of Luo, has been repelling the Huns since the northern border, guarding Puyang City, Emperor Zhen praised the residence of King Luo, and recalled him to serve in the court, and his momentum is close to Li Moxiao.
This time, Li Moxiao's absurd behavior undoubtedly increased Li Zhenchen's popularity many times, and his supporters were even more unscrupulous in asking for the abolition of the crown prince and the outstanding Li Zhenchen.
Emperor Zhen was not only angry with the prince's reckless rebellion, but also worried that if this continued, it would be difficult to block the mouths of the people, and he would not be able to suppress the ministers' inclination towards King Luo, which would inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the opposition.
The anxious Emperor Zhen asked Zhao Yue's opinion many times and asked him what good plan he had? However, Zhao Yue, who has always been resourceful, was helpless this time.
Zhao Yue faced the courtiers with both soft and hard, so he had to keep silent, and he was unmoved even if the courtiers wore out their mouths. In the face of Emperor Zhen's monstrous anger, he stubbornly advised Emperor Zhen not to be impatient, the prince is kind and pure in nature, talented and intelligent, and he is by no means a mediocre person. Just because he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he has collected thousands of favors, he doesn't know what human suffering is? Although the prince's actions are extremely absurd, they can also temper his heart, correct his arrogance, and eliminate excessive extremism.
Emperor Zhen sighed deeply when he heard this: "I hope so!" Although his tone was relaxed, his frowning brow did not stretch.
Zhao Yue secretly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally persuaded Emperor Zhen's anger. However, those courtiers were not easy to fool, they all thought that Zhao Yue was pedantic, rigid and stubborn, so stubborn, even if the prince was not abolished, it was not appropriate to assist the prince.
When Emperor Zhen saw that the courtiers impeached Zhao Yue, he changed the topic vaguely, with an ambiguous attitude, and temporarily suppressed the courtiers' admonitions.
At this time, Li Moxiao came back!
Emperor Zhen never expected that Zhao Yue's words would come true, and the prince not only restrained his temperament, but also was calm and capable. There were also two handsome young men with him, who said that they were personal guards and assistants.
Emperor Zhen was skeptical, but when he saw that the prince was diligent and encouraged, he was naturally overjoyed, and he didn't care about investigating the origin of the two people around him.
Soon, Li Moxiao won back the support of some old ministers in the court, and the supporters who originally supported King Luo gradually weakened.
Although the undercurrent of the government and the opposition was temporarily calmed, Zhao Yue was worried, because he knew that the reason why Li Moxiao changed was because of Su Liruo. And Emperor Zhen is still in the dark, Zhao Yue is secretly worried, if one day, Emperor Zhen knows the truth, how will things end?
It is said that a few days after Li Moxiao came back, a gentleman and elegant man came to the Zhao Mansion, and he asked to see Zhao Yue, and immediately went straight to the point and showed his identity.
Zhao Yue heard his identity, his face was solemn, and he asked after a moment of silence: "Although Zhao has never interacted with people in the rivers and lakes, the reputation of Yueyi Villa is spread all over the world, and no one knows who knows!" The owner of that Yueyi village is even more miraculous and legendary, and Zhao is deeply sorry that he did not have the opportunity to get acquainted. Today, I am fortunate to see the young master of Nai, and I have my wish for admiration! But I don't know what advice the young master Nai has in the house, Zhao listens! ”
It's Naraku! With an unfathomable smile on his face, he quietly listened to Zhao Yue's praise and remarks, and only after a while did he slowly speak: "Mr. is too famous!" I came to disturb Mr. this time, but I really had to do it, just because I was entrusted by the king of Yi to come to your country to protect Mr.'s righteous daughter... Miss Sue..."
He said slowly and gently, but Zhao Yue was terrified when he heard it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Why did Young Master Nai say this?" Zhao is stupid, and he still hopes that the young master will make it clear! ”
Nai Luo laughed dryly, then walked closer to Zhao Yue's side and said in a low voice: "Mr. has always been wise, how can he be a fool." Mr. used a strategy at the beginning, which not only stabilized the uproar of the government and the opposition, but also cut off the prince's unbearable thoughts, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. In this way, it has also achieved a good relationship, and the fairy-like couple of King Yi and Miss Su is indispensable. It's just that... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't understand Mr.'s good intentions, so he pretended to be a messenger to escort the tribute, and broke into the palace at night to take Miss Su away, and after failing, he robbed Miss Su by unbearable means. I don't know what Mr. thinks about such a ridiculous behavior of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
Zhao Yue's face changed greatly, his heart was flustered, and he forced himself to calm down and said: "Young Master Nai, isn't it that the king of Yi has misunderstood His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Sir!" Nai Luo squinted, flashing a sword-like light, which made people tremble, and he coldly interrupted Zhao Yue's words and said: "The prince is on this trip to the Moon Kingdom, and the son-in-law of Mr. is also going with him, and now he is following the Prince of the Moon Kingdom." What he knew was that the prince of the day country abandoned him, and those who didn't know thought that Mr. had different intentions. If Emperor Zhen knew, he was afraid that Mr. would be speechless, and Mr.'s son would be difficult to protect himself, in case... The king of Yi suspects that he has a bad plan, and he may be a spy sent by the Sun Kingdom, so isn't that..."
"Young Master Nai!" Zhao Yue was shocked, and knew in his heart that Nai Luo was prepared, he clenched his hands tightly, and said tremblingly: "Young Master Wangnai is benevolent and merciful, and Zhao is grateful!"
"Well said! Say! Naraku smiled slightly, and her gaze gradually softened. Mr. is a wise man, you and I join forces, each for their own masters, mutually beneficial, so that Mr. will have peace of mind, and his family will not be implicated. ”
"Young Master Nai, please say, Zhao is willing to hear about it!" Zhao Yue lowered his head and pondered, paused, and said sincerely.
Naraku secretly admires his calmness, and he deserves to be the mentor and advisor of the current prince of the Sun Kingdom. "Sir, rest assured, I will never recklessly disturb the power of your country, but only temporarily live in Mr.'s house and disturb the time for a year. During this time, you must know Miss Su's situation and actions, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must stay away from Miss Su and not disturb Miss Su, otherwise don't blame her for punishing her. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is embattled, and the government and the opposition are in crisis, and Mr. must be very anxious, and he is willing to work with Mr. to share worries and solve problems. ”
Zhao Yue raised his head and sighed, every step was chaotic, he had always been cautious, but he still fell into the handle, thinking of his beloved son who was far away in the Moon Kingdom, his heart was up and down, his hands were behind his back, his brows were tightly locked, and he was pacing in annoyance.
Naraku understood his thoughts, and stepped forward and said with relief: "Sir, don't worry, as soon as the time is over, I will leave immediately, and I will never disturb Mr."
Zhao Yue suddenly stopped, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Young Master Nai, Zhao is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the dog is in a foreign country and is in a worrying situation, how can he not worry about it?" If you can keep him safe and sound, then Zhao has nothing to worry about! ”
"What's so hard about that?" Naraku laughed and said, "As long as Mr. doesn't violate your agreement with me, your son will be safe and sound!"
"Really?" Zhao Yue was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "The prince..."
"This prince is not the prince of the other, he is young, wise and brave, and his spirit is extraordinary, and he will definitely have a great achievement in the future." Naluo said: "The prince treats Mr.'s son like a brother, a brother and a friend."
"So... I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse! Zhao Yue still couldn't let go of his hanging heart, and after speaking, he became worried again: "Young Master Nai asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to disturb Miss Su, I'm afraid this matter is beyond Zhao's control..."
"If the gentleman is sincere, there is no difficulty." Naraku raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a smile.
Zhao Yue's heart was stunned by Naluo's eyes, remembering that his daughter had mentioned it when she came back the day before yesterday, Su Liruo was waiting for his visit, he listened, and his heart was also shocked.
Zhao Yue's thoughts gradually returned, and he suddenly smiled bitterly: Nai Luo is forcing him step by step, he has no way to avoid it, and he has been delaying this period of time, and he has never been able to hide. It's just that I don't know if Zijin lives up to his trust?
Splendid Garden.
Su Liruo played a song, looked up and glanced at Bai Guansheng, but Bai Guansheng frowned, sometimes shaking his head and sometimes nodding, and suddenly fell into contemplation for a while.
If Su Li saw that he was demented again, she knew that a certain rhythm did not match the trick he had developed, and she called softly: "Senior!"
Bai Guansheng turned a deaf ear, scratched his head in annoyance, waved his hand helplessly, and sighed and stroked his beard in contemplation. Suddenly, he jumped up and slapped the back of his head, his eyes flashing, as if he had figured out something? But soon, he shrugged his head again, denied what he had thought before, picked up the score, and stared at it with his eyes like a torch. For a long time, he squatted down and held his cheeks in contemplation, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
Su Liruo smiled helplessly, knowing that he was in a stalemate and would definitely not be able to get out of the predicament for a while, so he got up and walked out of the room. As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw the heroic Zhao Zijin with high hair and a handsome light blue dress, reflecting her fair face and delicate eyebrows, what a personable young man!
Su Liruo was amazed in her heart, smiling, and staring.
"Sister Ruo!" Zhao Zijin's cheeks were crimson when she looked at her, and he walked quickly to her, and said coquettishly: "It's been a month, if my sister is not used to Zijin like this?"
"Although I'm used to it, I'm still shocked by Zijin." Su Liruo smiled and said, "Come, accompany me to the garden!"
"If my sister is coaxing Zijin." Zhao Zijin pouted, but his heart was beautiful, and his face was happy. She reached out and grabbed Su Liruo's arm, leaned on her shoulder, and asked as she walked, "Master is stuck in Sister Ruo's music score again, right?"
Su Liruo bowed her head slightly, smiling silently.
"Sister Ruo, today I overheard about the king of Yi, and when the prince arrives at the court, I will come over in a hurry..."Zhao Zijin tilted his head, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said.
Su Liruo's heart was shocked, her body stiffened, and she suddenly stopped.
