The Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan was sitting on the house like ants on a hot pot at the moment.

Cho Yun-hee has been gone for two days, and it is said that today, tomorrow at the latest, should get news of him.

Are you right or wrong?

The sky darkened little by little, and Zhao Yuanyan's heart also dimmed, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, he shouldn't have lied to the official family that the Nine Dragons Jade Wall was broken, but he secretly handed over the Nine Dragons Jade Wall to Zhao Yunxi.

What kind of prince will Xiangning have? A sentence ignited Zhao Yuanyan's ambition when he was young.

On that day, the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan criticized Zhao Yunxi and Ye Pei with righteous words, and everyone thought that King Yan was righteous, but Taizong's favorite youngest son, the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan, was so unruly and high-spirited when he was young!

When Taizong was in power, his favorite was this youngest son, who was nearly 20 years old before he was allowed to leave the palace and establish a mansion, known as the "Twenty-Eight Taibao". Therefore, Zhao Yuanyan is very arrogant.

At that time, the first emperor Zhenzong was seriously ill, and all political affairs were handed over to the queen Liu E to deal with, and Zhao Yuanyan was quite dissatisfied with this. In addition, there is a precedent of Taizu and Taizong's "brother to brother", Zhao Yuanyan is not without ambition to take over the throne.

Besides, the royal brother has no children, so it is too logical for him to take over. Since then, Zhao Yuanyan has been staying in the palace on the pretext of taking care of the imperial brother.

There are also such voices in the court, and the Queen's Party, the Royalist Party and the Eight Kings Party have formed factions, arguing every day, and the party is fighting for the Japanese drama.

Liu E knew Zhao Yuanyan's thoughts, and was on guard everywhere, and informed the then capital minister of the matter to find a way to prevent Zhao Yuanyan from seizing power.

One day, Li Di, the deputy prime minister who was living in the big house, saw the little eunuch carrying a copper basin to wash the eight kings, and he thought about it. Li Di put the brush in his hand in the copper basin and asked the eunuch to bring the basin of water to the eight kings.

Zhao Yuanyan saw that the noodle washing soup served was slightly black, thinking that someone was going to poison him, he was terrified, and returned to the palace overnight.

This incident made Liu E laugh at him for being cowardly as a mouse, and even more contemptuous of him.

After seeing Zhao Yuanyan's ability clearly, Liu E forced Zhao Yuanyan step by step, asked him to hand over his rights, and then further suppressed the Eight Kings Party, and demoted Zhao Yuanyan's cronies to a bitter cold place, Zhao Yuanyan knew the cruelty of politics even more.

Once, the Eight Princes' Mansion caught fire and spread to Ouchi, and Liu E immediately used this as an excuse to demote him to a knighthood, and even did not let the Third Division allocate funds for him to rebuild the mansion.

Zhao Yuanyan had no choice but to live in the house of Shi Baoji, the commander of the horses, and endured all the hardships under the fence.

After that, Zhao Yuanyan painfully changed his past, was deeply obscure, and pretended to be impotence for ten years before he could be saved.

For so many years, he suppressed his inner desires and forbearance, he was afraid of Liu E, and he also knew her methods, and he didn't dare to compete with it.

But what about his own son? He looks down on himself, says he is a coward, he is incompetent, where does he know the cruelty of politics? But the unburned flame in Zhao Yuanyan's heart still scorched him, making him want to make a last fight.

"Maybe the eldest brother will succeed, even if it doesn't work, as the son of the prince, does she dare to kill him?"

Zhao Yuanyan paced back and forth in the mansion, and instructed the deputy chief Zhao Ji, "Go outside the mansion to see if the eldest prince has returned, and then observe and observe what is wrong outside the mansion." ”

Waiting for Zhao Ji to come back and reply: "Lord Wang, the eldest prince hasn't come back yet, it's already curfew, if you come back, you can do it."

It's tomorrow morning. It's quiet outside the house, and there's nothing out of the ordinary. ”

Zhao Yuanyan nodded, thinking: "No news is good news!" Then he instructed Zhao Ji, "I will go to the court tomorrow morning, and you will gather the soldiers of the palace to stand by in the palace." ”

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded, knowing the master's intentions, "Lord Wang, please rest assured, it has been prepared for a long time!" ”

------

At ten points on the fifth watch of the next day, Zhao Yuanyan, the eighth king, wore court clothes and came to Daqing Hall to participate in the court meeting.

Because of the special status of the eight kings, the official family allowed his edict to be nameless, praise and worship, enter the court without trend, and go to the palace with a sword, Zhao Yuanyan was also very conscious, and rarely participated in court politics on weekdays, only symbolically attended when Shuo and Wangda.

When the court meeting was dispersed, a little eunuch ran to Zhao Yuanyan, "Eight kings, please stay, the Queen Mother specially invites you to go to Chonghui Hall to speak." ”

Zhao Yuanyan "chuckled" in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, nodded and smiled at the little eunuch and said, "Please lead the way." ”

Chonghui Hall is next to Baoci Palace, because the Empress Dowager Liu E needs to deal with political affairs, the court ministers are in Chonghui Hall when they meet alone. When Zhao Yuanyan entered the palace, he saw the Empress Dowager Liu E sitting in front of the case to deal with official business.

Zhao Yuanyan paid a big salute to the Queen Mother, "Minister Zhao Yuanyan visited the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother a thousand blessings and peace!" ”

Liu E said with a smile on her face: "Uncle praises and worships no name, does not enter the court, and can not bow when he sees the official family, why bother to worship me, he bothered me in vain." Give me a seat! ”

"Niangniang is an elder, so she naturally deserves the worship of her ministers."

Liu E said again: "Uncle, there are no outsiders today, only about family life, regardless of court affairs." ”

Zhao Yuanyan sat down stiffly, and then said, "I listen to my sister-in-law." In my heart, I felt more and more ominous, gradually approaching.

Liu E seemed to ask casually: "Uncle is Gui Geng this year?" I saw that my uncle had gray hair on his head. I only remember that when I entered the palace, I heard the palace people say how the 'Twenty-Eight Taibao' was. You were peerless at that time, and your story was passed down into a myth by the palace people, and I don't know how many palace maids wanted to get your favor. ”

"To make the mother smile, the minister didn't change things when he was young, he only knew how to be merry and happy, and he didn't know how many disasters he had caused. Only the sister-in-law tried her best to defend the minister, teach the minister, and let the minister understand many truths. ”

"Look at what my uncle said, if we are placed outside the palace, we will be close relatives, can we help each other? I remember that you took a fancy to a palace maid beside the first emperor that year, and forced you to go, which made the first emperor very unhappy. If I hadn't been there to speak for you, the first emperor, although his temper was mild, would have punished you severely.

You are too used to that concubine, watching the play play with gunpowder caused the house to catch fire, and even extended to the Baowen Pavilion in the Ouchi, but it burned a lot of treasures of the first emperor, and the first emperor was distressed! ”

Liu E said it as casually as chattering, but Zhao Yuanyan listened to it like a man's back.

Zhao Yuanyan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law has a good memory, you still remember all these disasters caused by the minister, and the minister is ashamed of himself." ”

"yes, we were all young. How can a young man not make mistakes? Now that we're all older, it's time to watch the kids play. It's just the experience of people who have come over, and it is necessary to talk to the children about it, and don't let your children eat the losses you suffered when you were young! ”

"Sister-in-law is teaching!"

"The first emperor no

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Here, only one of the people in this generation is still in good health, so I naturally want to take care of you more. The official family is from the Eight Princes' Mansion, no matter what, it is also fate with you, and now you are at the top of the prince, but I still want to give you more titles, which has shown your different noble status! ”

Zhao Yuanyan didn't expect Liu E to say such a thing, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "The minister has no merit and will not ask for any gifts." ”

Liu E shook her head and said, "Uncle is too humble, don't shirk." Ye Pei was ignorant that day and made a mistake in your house, and I heard that my uncle criticized her harshly. Shouldn't your righteous practice of destroying relatives be admired by all the people and passed down for centuries? ”

Zhao Yuanyan heard Liu E mention the events of the year again, and he already had four or five fears in his heart, but he didn't know what Liu E wanted to do, so he had to comply and say:

"The lord of Le'an is smart and wise, and now he is personally instructed by the Queen Mother, and in the future, he will understand the righteousness more than the ministers."

Liu E smiled, summoned the eunuch who had announced the edict and said, "Read! ”

The eunuch of Xuanzhao read aloud: "The eight kings Zhao Yuanyan listen to the seal!" Zhao Yuanyan quickly knelt down and accepted the order.

"The edict said: Shengde opens the auspiciousness of the world, and Yanqing Heng is because of Zuze. The holy pilgrimage is a book of meritorious service, and the pursuit of beauty must reach the ancestors. However, the eighth son of Taizong, Yan Wang Yuan, is filial piety, benevolent and lixin, but now he is the Taishi and the general of Tiance, and he is presented to Xuzhou and Yanzhou as the ...... of the two states of the state.

Zhao Yuanyan was also overjoyed and surprised in his heart, he is now ranked first among the princes, plus the prince, the general, and the state pastor, not to mention the Song Dynasty, there is no one in history who has many honors in one.

Zhao Yuanyan kowtowed and thanked him, "Chen Yuanyan bowed to thank Longen!" ”

When Zhao Yuanyan received the holy decree and got up, Liu E said again: "Uncle is now above 10,000 people, and he must lead the people to be a teacher." There are also a few sons of the family who have become adults, and they should be sealed one by one.

It's just that I heard that the eldest brother Zhao Yunxi was not in good health, he went to Chuzhou to practice, and now he has returned to Beijing to recuperate and die, and I should posthumously give him the status of the prince back then.

Besides, he has made a contribution to the official family, and he has recovered the Nine Dragons Jade Wall lost by the official family, which is really a great achievement. As he spoke, he showed the Nine Dragons Jade Wall to Zhao Yuanyan.

Zhao Yuanyan saw that the jade wall appeared intact in Liu E's hands, knew that the matter had been revealed, and heard the news that Zhao Yunxi had died of illness, and his heart was completely cold.

He failed, completely failed, and took his own son's life, how remorseful he was! For a while, Zhao Yuanyan was in a hurry, a mouthful of black blood gushed out, and he fainted.

Liu E smiled silently, and said to the eunuch beside her: "The eight kings have always been in poor health, and they can barely cope with the affairs of the court.

Alas, I am also soft-hearted, so you can carry the eight kings and the decree back to the palace together. I grant that the eight kings do not need to come to the court in the near future. ”

When Zhao Yuanyan was sent back to the palace, he also came back with the holy decree of conferring Zhao Yunxi, posthumously presenting him as the Marquis of Boping, the history of Bozhou's defense.

Zhao Yuanyan's other three sons were also married by officials, and it can be said that the Yanwang Mansion was beautiful at this time.

Zhao Yuanyan opened his eyes again, and it was already a day later, and Zhao Yunxi's body had been sent back.

Zhao Yuanyan looked at the red-eyed princess Zhang beside him, his chest was extremely stuffy, thinking that another mouthful of black blood gushed out.
