Because of the stirrups, Zhao Yao became famous.

He, the Ten Princes who had no sense of existence, appeared for the first time in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. However, too much attention does not.

As Liang Zhaoyi expected, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would not think that Zhao Yao was a prince worthy of support because he made stirrups.

The ministers had several requests to support the prince in advance; The first requirement: the prince himself is favored by the emperor, or is deeply used by the prince. The second requirement: the prince himself has the ability. The third requirement: the prince's maternal grandfather has a certain amount of power. The fourth requirement: The prince's mother is also favored by the emperor.

Zhao Yao didn't have any of these four requirements.

Of course, there are special exceptions.

Some ministers will support powerless and helpless princes, such as the Eighth Prince.

On the surface, none of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty supported the Eight Princes. In fact, compared with Zhao Yao, the life experience of the eighth prince is even more ...... In the eyes of many people, the eighth prince came from a humble background, because his mother concubine was just a palace maid. Even if she died, the emperor did not posthumously seal her.

The idea of the ministers who support the Eight Princes is very simple, the Eight Princes who do not have any power are easy to handle, and the most important thing is that the Eight Princes have to rely on them if they want to succeed.

In addition to the Xie family, the Wang family, the Xun family, the Yuan family and other major valve families in the capital, there are many famous families below. These famous families also have ambitions, and they don't want to be subservient to King Xie and his family all the time. They also want more power, and they want their families to flourish.

Now that the court is controlled by King Xie's family, it is difficult for these families to get a little bit of it. If they want to gain more power and surpass King Xie's family, there is only one way, and that is to stand and support a certain prince in advance and support the prince to become the next emperor.

From the Dragon's Skill will give them supreme power, and they will be at the top of the family.

Obviously, Zhao Yao and the Eighth Emperor are in a similar situation, they are not favored by Emperor Wu of Zhou, and they do not have maternal power. In fact, Zhao Yao has two advantages over the Eighth Prince; First, his mother Liang Zhaoyi is still alive. Liang Zhaoyi is Zhao Yao's weakness, and he can use Liang Zhaoyi to threaten Zhao Yao, but the ministers did not support Zhao Yao. The second is that Zhao Yao is not smart, he doesn't like to read, and he was disgusted by Emperor Wu of Zhou for being stupid. The prince who is not smart is better to handle.

Although Zhao Yao had more "advantages" than the Eighth Prince, the ministers did not choose him because he was too young.

The young prince is better manipulated. When he succeeds in ascending the throne, he will become a puppet emperor. This is actually one of the biggest advantages, but it was not possible during the period of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

First of all, Emperor Wu of Zhou was upright and in his prime, and it was impossible for him to live for more than a few years. Secondly, the other sons of Emperor Wu of Zhou were all about to reach adulthood. If you support the prince who is too young, it will be too late.

The age of the eighth prince is just right, neither young nor old. He is still a few years away from adulthood. In these years, there are a lot of variables, and they can do a lot of things. Maybe by the time the Eighth Prince reaches adulthood, the cannibalism of the previous princes will be over, and they won't need to spend too much effort to succeed at that time.

If it was Zhao Yao, when the imperial brother in front of him finished fighting, he was not yet an adult when he sat in that seat. It should be said that this is a good thing for the ministers who support him, after all, it is better to manipulate him. However, this is not the case. If there is no adult prince on the throne, it is impossible to let only the ministers who support him control the government, and there will be other ministers to help manage the government.

The first emperor once set a rule that if a young and underage prince ascends the throne in the future, there must be three parties to assist the government. One of these three parties is the minister who supports the prince, and the other two are important ministers such as the prime minister and the princess, as well as the general who has military power.

For ministers from wealthy families, they were reluctant to share the administration with the other two parties, so the princes they supported could not be too young. The Eighth Prince is the best candidate for them. This is the reason why Zhao Yao does not have a single minister to support him.

Whether there are ministers supporting him to compete for that position is not important to Zhao Yao at all, and he is not uncommon.

Making stirrups didn't make any difference to his life. He's still the same as before. However, his reputation for not being smart has changed for the better.

He went from a stupid prince to a prince who was just not smart enough to read.

There is another thing that Liang Zhaoyi expected, that is, the soldiers' impression of Zhao Yao has changed a lot, and they have begun to have a good impression of him.

With the advent of stirrups, the biggest benefit is the soldiers.

Of course, it is just a good feeling, and the soldiers will not support Zhao Yao because of the stirrup.

For Zhao Yao himself, there is nothing to be proud of when he makes stirrups. It was nothing more than the most inconspicuous of the things in his head. However, because of the stirrups, Zhao Yao received some rewards, which still made him happy.

Emperor Wu of Zhou rewarded Zhao Yao with some gold, silver and jewelry, which was exactly what Zhao Yao wanted. However, gold, silver and jewels were the most useless rewards for other princes.

Zhao Yao is still young, even if Emperor Wu of Zhou wants to reward him with something "useful", he can't reward him.

With these rewarded gold, silver and jewelry, Zhao Yao can do a lot of things with them. When he was done, he gave these gold, silver and jewelry to his second uncle.

Alas, what he asked his second uncle to do would cost a lot of money. gave these rewards to his second uncle, and he became a pauper again. Fortunately, he is still young now, and he lives in the palace, so he doesn't need to spend money.

At this time, Zhao Yao was painting the design of the farm in the study of the Kunde Palace.

Liang Zhaoyi sat across from him, punctuating other books.

"It's done." Zhao Yao handed the finished design to Liang Zhaoyi opposite, "Mother, take a look." ”

Liang Zhaoyi took the design drawing, looked at it carefully, and found that the design drawing drawn by her son was very surprised. On the ground, the farm has two floors. These two floors are common rooms, and there is nothing surprising. The surprise was the three floors below the ground.

"How can there be three floors in the underground secret room, and what are they used for?"

Zhao Yao introduced: "The first layer is used for secret training. The second layer is used to put some confidential stuff. The third layer is used to hold and interrogate some important people. ”

Hearing the role of the third layer, Liang Zhaoyi's expression stiffened, and then said helplessly and funny: "You have thought about everything." ”

"Mother, what do you think of this blueprint?"

"Good." Liang Zhaoyi knew in her heart that Zhao Yao was able to draw such a design drawing because of the influence of the memory in the dream.

Zhao Yao put away the design drawings and said beautifully: "Fortunately, we don't need to pay for the construction of Zhuangzi, otherwise I don't know if the gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by my father are enough." ”

He thought that he would be able to rest in a few days, and then he would be able to play outside the palace for a few more days, and he would be in a better mood.

Under Zhao Yao's great anticipation, it was finally his day off.

On the morning of the day of Xiu Mu, Sun Doudou sent a token to Zhao Yao, which was a very beautiful jade plate. The jade plaque is oval, with a dragon carved on both sides, these two dragons are very finely carved, and the dragon scales, dragon whiskers, and dragon claws are carved very meticulously and realistically.

There is nothing else on the jade plate except for the dragon, not even a word "order".

Generally, there will be a "order" on the token, but there is nothing on this jade plate.

"Mother, this is not a token, is it?"

"It's not a token, but it gives you free access to the palace." Liang Zhaoyi advised, "Take good care of it and don't lose it." ”

"Don't worry, I won't lose it." Zhao Yao thought that this jade plate was very valuable at a glance, and he would never lose it, "Mother, then I'll go." ”

"Stay safe outside these days."

"I'll be careful." After greeting Liang Zhaoyi, Zhao Yao took Tongxi out of the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhao Yao was stopped by the guards.

The guards naturally knew Zhao Yao, the tenth prince, but without a token, Zhao Yao, the prince, could not leave the palace casually.

"Your Highness, please show the token."

Zhao Yao took out the jade plate from his arms and showed it to the guard.

When the guard saw the jade card in Zhao Yao's hand, his pupils shrank suddenly, but he didn't show a point on his face.

"Your Highness, please."

Zhao Yao didn't notice the strange appearance of the guard just now, and put the jade card in his arms again, and he swaggered out of the palace gate with Tongxi.

After Zhao Yao left, another guard asked suspiciously: "Boss, what His Highness Ten took out just now was not a token, but a jade plate, which I have never seen." ”

The guard pretended to be flat and said: "It's just a jade plaque that can enter and exit the palace freely, no fuss." ”

Liang Run was already waiting for Zhao Yao not far from the palace gate. When he saw him come out, he hurried the carriage over.

When Zhao Yao and the others got into the carriage, Liang Run took them directly to Dahua Village outside the capital.

Zhao Yao: It's just right that no one supports me, and I'm not unusual.

Many years later.

Ministers: Your Highness, I beg you to ascend the throne!

Zhao Yao: You were dismissive of me at the beginning, but now you have come to beg me to ascend the throne, are you okay?
