When Old Madam Zhao heard this, her face was a little unnatural: "Why are you always so interested in things in the palace?" ”

"Grandmother." Zhao Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You also know that I am a playful person."

In the past two years, where are there any places in the imperial capital that I haven't been?

It's only inside the palace, and I've only been there once, so I'm naturally curious. ”

Old Madam Zhao paused and said: "The palace, in addition to the splendor, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother eat well, live well, and dress well.

The rest of the concubines can only live a good life when they are favored.

When we are not favored, we might as well be at home. ”

Zhao Yan nodded, and asked tentatively: "Then the former emperor and the current majesty, do you have a good relationship?" ”

She felt that there should be an article here.

Think of the first emperor, who had two sons and also set up a crown prince.

How could this throne be the turn of His Majesty today as a brother?

If the emperor thought about the country, he was afraid that his two sons would not be able to use it, so he deliberately wanted to pass the throne to his brothers?

She thought it was unlikely, where was there such a person?

It is more likely that His Majesty has now taken the throne that would have belonged to his nephew.

But what is the relationship with Zhou Yu, she can't figure it out.

"How do you ask this?" Old Madam Zhao raised her eyes to look at her.

"Just curious." Zhao Yan smiled: "There are not many emperors who have passed the throne to their brothers since ancient times.

I think the emperor is very remarkable, and he must be a wise and martial figure. ”

"The former emperor is indeed wise and martial, and he also values love and righteousness." Old Madam Zhao showed a little memory on her face.

Zhao Yan sat up straight, looked at her and said, "Grandmother, I am sincere about my father's affairs, right?"

You old man should also show some sincerity, I just want to hear interesting stories, this little request is not too much, right? ”

Her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, her little face was smiling, and she didn't look like a mustard.

Old Madam Zhao thought that her son still had to count on her to save her, so she saw a bit of threat from her smile.

"Actually, so many years have passed, and now the world is stable, so it's nothing to tell you." She hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that this matter can only be known to you and me, and it's here when I say it here."

Remember, you can't mention it to a third person. ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, even if I say it, it's been so many years, who wants to listen?" Zhao Yan smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and she was well-behaved and clever.

Old Madam Zhao said: "You asked me before, whether your grandfather has to be reused by the emperor first."

I'm telling you, it was true for a while. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yan looked at her with a look of deafness.

"The emperor valued love and righteousness, but there was no room for sand in his eyes." Old Madam Zhao said slowly: "Your grandfather, who was greedy for other people's money and beautiful daughters, wanted to marry a flat wife because of the favor of the emperor.

I cried with Concubine Li, and your grandfather was reprimanded by the emperor, and he was also demoted to his official position. ”

"And such a thing?" Zhao Yan showed a novel expression: "I haven't heard my grandmother mention it before. ”

"Do you think it was easy for my grandmother when she was young?" Old Madam Zhao seemed to sigh with emotion, smiled and continued: "Your grandfather lost his official position, so naturally he couldn't marry a flat wife.

Since then, he has resented me and ignored me.

As for me, I won't go to him.

But what I never expected was that he would hold a grudge against the emperor because of this.

Later, the former emperor still reused him, but he secretly helped His Majesty today.

At that time, His Majesty was an idle prince, and he did not compete for fame and fortune at all. ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, she understood a little that His Majesty's so-called "idle prince" should be just a pretense.

He should be ambitious, and only take the idle prince as a name to make people let down their guard.

Old Madam Zhao continued: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and no one can see the thoughts of His Majesty today.

Later, he united your grandfather, and a couple of military attachés, do you understand? ”

There are some things that she can't say clearly.

But the meaning is clear, what else can the joint military attache do?

Kill the king and seize the throne.

"Hmm." Zhao Yan nodded slightly, and then hesitated: "Then speaking of which, is it ...... grandfather to pass away unexpectedly?"

Is it related to the struggle for imperial power?

Old Madam Zhao sighed: "Speaking of this, well, in fact, the truth is also very simple.

He couldn't be loyal to the former emperor and helped Jinshang get the throne, so Jinshang naturally suspected that he would treat him like the former emperor in the future, and when he was suspicious, he felt suspicious everywhere.

As the days passed, the gap between the monarch and the ministers became deeper and deeper, and His Majesty finally couldn't tolerate him. ”

Zhao Yan nodded: "I see." ”

Similar to what she thought, emperors were all sitting on that throne, and everyone seemed to covet his place.

"Fortunately, your grandfather still has a conscience, and he begged Your Majesty not to implicate the people in the family, and he also knows that it is not easy for me to take your father alone." Mrs. Zhao sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for your mother's ......"

She suddenly stopped when she said this, and glanced at Zhao Yan's expression.

Zhao Yan smiled casually: "It turns out that my grandfather still has such a past, and if my grandmother doesn't say it, I will never know." ”

Mother?

The old woman didn't say anything, so she thought she didn't know?

At the beginning, if he hadn't met her mother, how could Zhao Wenjun, a beast, have the ability to support such a big family?

It was his mother who gave him the silver to make this family better and better.

But later, in order to wait for fame and fortune, he gave away his mother.

Is Zhao Wenjun still a man?

He's not even a human being!

"It's all in the past, you listen to this, you just know it, don't say it." Mrs. Zhao told her.

She can actually not tell Zhao Yan.

She didn't want to tell Zhao Yan either.

However, Zhao Wenjun is in prison at this time, and if she doesn't please Zhao Yan, how can Zhao Wenjun come out?

"Grandmother, don't worry." Zhao Yan said with a smile: "You also know, I don't interact with people much on weekdays, where does anyone say these words?" ”

Old Madam Zhao smiled and nodded.

The two grandparents sat and talked for a while, looking at it quite a bit of warmth and harmony, if you don't know, when you see this scene, you think that their ancestors and grandchildren are so harmonious.

*

Zhao Wenjun has been locked up in prison all night.

He was unkempt, his face was stained with unknown dirt, and he looked embarrassed and haggard.

Yesterday, Jing Zhaoyin interrogated him.

He didn't admit anything.

He didn't know where he had exposed his stuffing, so he asked Qu Shouting to grab the handle.

He thought about it, how can Zhao Ruxiu say that she is also the daughter-in-law of the Dingguo Mansion now, and the Dingguo Duke should not ignore him, right?

and King Yong.

On that day, Jiang Qingrou went back and said that Princess Yong threatened her with greed for ink to build a bridge and silver, and asked her to marry Zhao Ruxiu to Luo Shimou.

He later went to meet His Royal Highness King Yong, and naturally offered his sincerity.

His Royal Highness King Yong won't forget it so quickly, right? He should now be regarded as a person of King Yong.

He waited bitterly that King Yong or the Dingguo Mansion would send someone to inquire about the situation.

From early morning to noon, he didn't see anyone, not only King Yong and Dingguo Gong didn't come to this trip, but even Jiang Qingrou didn't come to see him.

He was nervous and depressed.

At noon, the jailer brought some rancid rice and vegetables, where could he eat?

He just sat in a daze in the straw-paved sleeping place.

"Zhao Wenjun, someone is visiting!"

The jailer came over and shouted in a rough voice.

Zhao Wenjun was overjoyed, he thought that Jiang Qingrou was visiting him.

Unexpectedly, the person who came turned out to be Zhao Yan.

Zhao Wenjun's bright eyes dimmed in an instant, and he didn't know what expression to face Zhao Yan for a while.

He never thought that he would be in such a situation, and the first person to visit him turned out to be Zhao Yan, and his mood was extremely complicated for a while.

"Father." Zhao Yan stepped forward with a smile and called him as always.

Zhao Wenjun turned his eyes away with shame, pretending to be casual and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Grandmother doesn't worry about you, beg me to come and see you." Zhao Yanxing had a little smile in her eyes: "Of course, my brother also begged me."

Father should still remember that there is a son of Fuxuan, right? ”

"Nonsense." Zhao Wenjun's face became even more unnatural.

At the beginning, Fu Xuan's leg was useless and became a disability.

Zhao Yan took him out of the house.

As a father, he didn't care about Fuxuan later, so he is naturally a little ashamed to talk about it now.

"Father doesn't care about Fu Xuan, but Fu Xuan is worried about his father." Zhao Yan looked at him with a smile across the fence: "Before I came, Fu Xuanqian told him and instructed him."

I must think of a way to get my father out. ”

She said this, and she didn't go to see Fuxuan before she came.

However, even if she didn't go, she knew that Fuxuan would definitely beg her.

As she said, Fu Xuan still has a deep admiration for Zhao Wenjun.
