Chapter 137: The Current Situation
As soon as she walked in, Liu Yingrong hurriedly greeted her, grabbed Mrs. Liu's arm and complained, "Mother, where have you been today?" Why are you only coming back now? ”
"Naturally, there is something to do when you go out for your mother, but you came today because that kid made a mistake again?" Mrs. Liu's tone was very bad, in the end, she was born ten months pregnant in her belly, and she was raised to such a big age, she basically guessed what was on her mind.
Liu Yingrong's face stiffened, and she said coquettishly, "What's the matter, he was recently sent by the emperor to run errands, and he hasn't been at home for four or five days, and his daughter is really bored at home, so I thought I would come and see you to chat with you!" ”
Mrs. Liu looked at her, and when she saw that her expression did not change in any way, she breathed a sigh of relief.
patted the back of her hand and whispered, "There happened to be something today, but I told you to wait." ”
Liu Yingrong went back to her parents' house today, but she didn't dress up solemnly, and the bright yellow flowing dark flower skirt with a smoke shirt looked pretty and lovely.
She smiled sweetly, "It's not in the way, I heard that my father has been very close to the Seventh Prince recently, does my mother know what's going on?" ”
Mrs. Liu remained silent, and said lightly, "It's just that something happened to your father that day, and the Seventh Prince helped him by passing by, and you also know that your father pays attention to cause and effect when he does things, so it is convenient for the Seven Princes to get acquainted with each other." ”
Liu Yingrong thought for a while, and then changed the topic, "I see, it's cold outside, my daughter helped you in, I heard that Gao Yunxuan recently came out with a new snack, and my daughter specially sent you some, do you want to taste ......it?"
"You have a heart." Mrs. Liu bowed slightly, but she was not interested in Gao Yunxuan's dim sum, thinking about what her daughter was doing when she came to inquire about the affairs of the Seventh Prince.
The two talked about something in the living room, and Chen Xiyun came over in the middle, and was pulled by Liu Yingrong to talk for a while, knowing that it was almost evening before leaving.
Liu Dexing stayed in the teahouse for a day, he also completely talked about things with Zhao Kuangyan, and only after getting acquainted did he know that the ideas and thoughts of the two were extremely consistent, and they laughed together when they talked about the excitement, and the people who matched their three views would not get tired even if they stayed for three days and three nights, but in order to prevent people from having a heart, in the evening, the two finally said goodbye in the teahouse.
Along the way, Liu Dexing hummed a little song happily, but when he arrived at the house, he found that Mrs. Liu's face was not quite right, so he asked, "Madam, what's wrong, could it be that you went to the palace for a banquet today and was wronged?" ”
Mrs. Liu glanced at him angrily, "You will guess blindly, the Seventh Imperial Concubine is very good, and the cooked dishes are also very delicious, I am too late to be happy, how can I be wronged?" ”
"Then why are you still putting on such a look? Why? It's better to say it, and the old man helps the lady think of ideas. ”
Mrs. Liu sighed, "It's not because of your precious daughter, today she came back to ask the concubine, why did the lord get so close to the Seventh Prince recently, if the concubine was her own daughter, she would not have chosen to marry King Jing in the first place!" ”
Liu Dexing stroked his beard, "Madame, do you mean that someone is behind her?" ”
"But no, the concubine suspects that it is the King of Jing, has the lord heard that the King of Jing and the prince are quite close recently?"
"Naturally, I heard about it." Liu Dexing sneered, "This prince is also a brainless man, he is surrounded by useless people, everyone in the whole capital knows that this King Jing is not doing his job, he thinks about flowers and grass all day long, he really has the ability to accept them together!" ”
Liu Dexing is very disdainful of the prince's personality, when His Majesty has not yet established a prince, he is diligent and very likable, and everything is done beautifully, but in the past few years, it seems that he has changed people, not only began to form a party openly, but also secretly moved a lot of tricks.
Some time ago, although His Majesty's poisoning is still under investigation, it has nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, His Majesty is not a person who remembers the old love, and has given him so many opportunities, but he is still unrepentant, as one of His Majesty's henchmen, Liu Dexing has long known the news that the prince is going to be deposed, and now among the many brothers, the second prince Zhao Yicheng and the fourth prince Xiao Ziqin have performed extremely well in recent years, so they are within the scope of the test.
In June last year, Zhao Yicheng went to Shanshui to deal with floods, and solved the problems of decades by replacing the previous "blocking" with "sparse", which attracted the people in the area to come spontaneously to thank the Holy Grace and accumulate a good reputation for him.
Although Xiao Ziqin is not so good, but he has also assisted Zhao Wenlong of Dali Temple to crack a lot of difficult cases, he is good at finding some clues that are easy to be ignored by ordinary people, quick thinking, and still often go to Marble to read the files, and try the cases that were previously recorded but have no clue one by one, which has caused many people to cheer loudly for him.
These two people should be said to be extremely outstanding in their talents and hearts among the many princes, and if they are re-established, these two must be in the scope of consideration.
And the seventh prince Zhao Kuangyan was originally within the scope of the prince's consideration, but he took the initiative to ask for the crown, which was tantamount to giving up the competition for the throne and doing things for the royal family wholeheartedly, which surprised His Majesty.
This time, he made a great contribution to the defeat of Beiyi, and His Majesty also talked about what kind of rights should be given if he wanted to be crowned king, so the matter was shelved.
And Liu Dexing's task is to test whether Zhao Kuangyan is in line with the position in the emperor's heart.
However, Liu Dexing was conquered by him after only a few days of getting along, although he knew it in his heart, he was still ready to wait.
Mrs. Liu has been familiar with all the forces in the DPRK and China for decades, and Liu Dexing does not hide her various secret visits with His Majesty, that is, Mrs. Liu has a thought in her heart.
"Then where is Mr. Xu's plan?"
Prime Minister Xu Wenyang and Liu Dexing were former classmates, but not many people knew about this matter, and the two never had any contact with the DPRK and China, so officials naturally could not associate the two together.
The position of the secretary is already eye-catching, if he is good friends with the prime minister again, then it is no wonder that some people will think about it, and it is also to let His Majesty relax, the two usually only communicate by letter, and there are no opportunities to meet a few times throughout the year.
"I have already sent him a letter a few days ago, and he agrees with His Majesty's decision, and vaguely revealed a trace of the prince's recent movements, and asked the old man to tell the seventh prince to be careful."
"Could it be that the prince wants to ......?" Mrs. Liu was frightened by her own thoughts, this is in the capital, is it possible that he dares to do it?
Liu Dexing narrowed his eyes, "Although I don't know what is going on, it's better to be careful." ”
Mrs. Liu had to nod when she heard this.
When Zhao Kuangyan arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Lin Qingqing waving to him expectantly, and immediately dispelled most of the depression in his heart.
He rolled over and dismounted, hugged her, and asked, "Ma'am?" Why don't you wait in the house for your husband, although it is already spring, but the temperature will not be too high these days, it is better to pay attention. ”
Lin Qingqing leaned on his chest, the trace of uneasiness in her heart finally dissipated, since Mrs. Liu left, she had inexplicable palpitations in her heart, as if something was going to happen, how could she be okay at home?
Then this matter can only be on Kuang Yan, she hurriedly found Baishuang to find him, he didn't reach her heart for a moment, and finally he was really worried and waited at the door, seeing the familiar voice in the distance, he put his heart down, and finally came back!
