Chapter 141: The Hatred of the Acting King
The next day, Zhao Yao took Tongxi to the Dragon Protector Temple.
When he came to visit the Eighth Prince in the Dragon Protection Temple, Zhao Yao did not tell him in advance.
The Eighth Prince was very surprised when he saw him: "Tenth brother, why are you here?" ”
"Of course I'm here to see you, Starling." Zhao Yao walked to the side of the bed and looked at the face of the Eighth Emperor Prince carefully, it was much better than when he left before, and his face was a little bloody, not as pale as before. The spirit is also much better. "Starling, how are your injuries?"
"It's much better." The Eighth Emperor was seriously injured because he saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so the medicines given to him were all excellent medicinal materials.
"Starling, does your wound still hurt?" Zhao Yao wrinkled his little face and said in a sympathetic tone, "Starling, you have been drinking medicine every day for a while, and you are dying of bitterness." ”
The Eighth Prince chuckled and said, "I'm not you, I'm not afraid of drinking medicine, and I'm not afraid of bitterness." Besides, if I don't drink medicine for this injury, it won't get better. ”
Zhao Yao gave a thumbs up to the Eighth Emperor and said with a look of adoration: "Starling, you are not afraid of the bitterness of medicine, it is really amazing, the younger brother admires." After speaking, he clenched his fist towards the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince was amused by Zhao Yao's tricks: "You, ......"
Yu Hai brought Zhao Yao snacks and tea from Hulong Temple, and said respectfully: "Your Highness Ten, take a sip of tea and eat some snacks." ”
Zhao Yao immediately gave Yu Hai a bright smile: "Yu Hai, you still understand me." ”
Yu Hai was infected by the smile on Zhao Yao's face, and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Ten, if it's not enough, the slave maid will go and get some more." ”
"Okay, good, after leaving the Dragon Protection Temple, what I crave the most is the dim sum and fast food of the Dragon Protection Temple." Zhao Yao couldn't wait to pick up a piece of dim sum and eat it.
Seeing Zhao Yao's happy and happy face, the mood of the eighth prince changed a lot better.
After eating several pieces of dim sum in a row, Zhao Yao stopped and continued to say to the Eighth Prince: "Starling, you are not here, I am so bored in the palace alone." Also, I'm so lonely studying alone, when will you come back? ”
"When the eldest brother finishes praying, I can go back."
"I originally wanted to stay with you, but my father didn't agree." When he mentioned this matter, Zhao Yao's little face puffed up angrily, "With my intimate brother with you, your injuries will heal faster, but my father didn't agree, so he insisted that I go back to study." I haven't read for a while, and I can't run books, which is really annoying. ”
"Why do you want to accompany me, you don't want to study." The Eighth Prince unceremoniously pierced Zhao Yao's careful thoughts.
Zhao Yao immediately reached out to cover his chest, pretending to be hurt and sad.
"Starling, how can you say that about me, you hurt my heart so much......"
Yu Hai and Tongxi, who were standing on the side, almost couldn't help laughing when they saw Zhao Yao's contrived appearance.
The eighth prince smiled helplessly and dotingly: "Living treasure! ”
Zhao Yao laughed twice and said, "Starling, without me by your side, you are also very boring." ”
The Eighth Prince nodded again and again, and said seriously: "Well, it's very boring. ”
"I knew it." Zhao Yao smiled very proudly, "Starling, you can't do without me." ”
"Yes, yes, I can't live without you." The Eighth Prince then asked Zhao Yao about his situation in the palace during this period of time.
In fact, the eighth prince knows everything about what is happening in the palace.
Zhao Yao did not hide it from the Eighth Prince, and told the Eighth Prince what he had done in the palace during this period of time, as well as what he had heard.
"Alas, the fourth brother is immersed in history cultivation all day long, and he can't play with him if he wants to."
At the mention of the Fourth Prince, a touch of coldness crossed the Eighth Prince's eyes, but he did not show it on his face.
"After a while, I'll go back to accompany you."
"Starling, you still have to recuperate after you return to the palace, and you can't go to Wende Hall to study for the time being." Zhao Yao lay on the side of the Eighth Prince's bed, holding his little face in both hands, and said with envy in his tone, "Starling, I really envy you for not having to study...... Before he finished speaking, his little head was gently beaten down by the Eighth Prince.
"What are you thinking about all day?"
"Starling, I didn't say I wanted to be hurt like you." Zhao Yao said with great ambition, "Although I don't want to study, I won't be stupid enough to get hurt just because I don't study, and then drink medicine every day." I'd rather read a book than drink medicine. ”
"That's good."
"By the way, starling, everyone is saying that the second brother is going to marry a nun as a side concubine."
The eighth prince pretended not to know anything and asked, "What's the matter with marrying a nun?" ”
Zhao Yao sighed in his heart: Starling's acting skills are really ...... There's a word called "Perfection".
He guessed that Kong Taichang's youngest daughter secretly became a monk in Bodhi Nunnery, and the starling brother deliberately leaked it out to let the second brother know.
"It's Kong Taichang's youngest daughter who secretly became a monk in the nunnery...... "Since the eighth prince pretended not to know anything, Zhao Yao could only tell him about it carefully.
"So, everyone is rumoring that the second brother is going to marry a nun and marry a side concubine." Zhao Yao said, "The third brother and they also laughed at the second brother, and then the ninth brother knew, and the ninth brother almost fought with the third brother." ”
"You're not being implicated, are you?" The Eighth Prince didn't care about the dispute between the Nine Emperor Princes and the Third Prince, but was worried that Zhao Yao would be implicated in their dispute.
"No, I saw them arguing and stayed away." Zhao Yao said, with a frightened look on his cute little face, "I met my second brother in the palace a few days ago, and my second brother's face was so smelly and scary, and his eyes were cold when he looked at me, as if I owed him a lot of money." ”
"When you see him later, stay away from him."
It's strange that the acting king can have a good face during this time.
Since he returned to Beijing after his victory, he was first ridiculed by the Duke of Zhenguo at the celebration banquet that he could not give birth to children. Then, it became a joke in the whole capital. Unexpectedly, this matter has not subsided, but Kong Taichang's youngest daughter secretly left home. She would rather be a monk than marry into the Daiwang's mansion, which is tantamount to humiliation for the Daiwang, and then he became a joke in the whole capital.
Although Emperor Wu of Zhou has not yet issued an order to release Kong Taichang and his family, nor has he said that Kong Taichang's youngest daughter will be vulgar and continue this marriage contract, everyone speculates that Kong Taichang's youngest daughter must be vulgar and then continue to marry the acting king.
Kong Taichang's youngest daughter is about to be married, according to the previous intention of Emperor Wu of Zhou, as long as Miss Kong and Xuan, she will marry the acting king immediately. But Miss Kong became a bald nun, and if she marries into the palace immediately, then she is going to marry the acting king with a bald head, isn't this marrying a nun.
Thinking of the picture of the acting king marrying the bald-headed Miss Kong, the ministers and the people couldn't help but want to laugh.
If it weren't for the usefulness of the Kong family, the acting king would never let go of Kong Taichang's family.
During this time, he has been laughed at, and the acting king has a fire in his heart.
Seeing that the acting king had a gloomy face, the Marquis of Xuanping hurriedly comforted him and said, "Your Highness, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." ”
"Patience! Endure! Endure! What kind of joke is this king made of?! The acting king roared angrily, "Ever since this king came back from Liangzhou, he has been laughed at. ”
The acting king walked around the study in a rage, and roared again: "This king is a joke now, a big joke! ”
The prince of Xuanping Hou said angrily: "It's all the public pollution of the town. ”
"Kong Taichang, their family doesn't know what to do!" Xuan Pinghou slapped the armrest of the chair fiercely, "It is an honor for their family for his youngest daughter to marry His Royal Highness!" ”
Thinking of Kong Taichang's family, the acting king was furious, and his face became distorted and hideous, "This king can't wait to kill them!" "From childhood to adulthood, the acting king has always been the pride of the sky, and he has never been humiliated like this." This king doesn't need the help of their Kong family to get that position, this king is fed up, this king will ask his father to kill them! ”
"Your Highness!" Xuanping Hou grabbed the acting king who was about to rush to the study, "You calm down!" ”
The acting king shook off Xuanping Hou's hand, "I can't calm down!" Didn't you see the way everyone looked at me, it was a mockery, when did this king suffer such an insult?! ”
"Your Highness, it won't help you to ask the emperor to kill Kong Taichang's family now." Marquis Xuanping grabbed the acting king again.
"If you don't kill their family, it's hard to solve the hatred in the heart of this king!" The acting king now hates Kong Taichang's family very much.
"Your Highness, listen to me, there is still a way to save it."
"What's the other way?"
"Your Highness, you sit down and calm down first."
"Uncle, how do you calm me down?" The acting king said with anger on his face, "This king is calm enough, otherwise this king would have killed them a long time ago!" ”
Marquis Xuanping had no choice but to press the acting king hard, "Your Highness, even if you want to kill Kong Taichang's family, you have to kill it with dignity, and you have to take back your reputation!" ”
The acting king became a little calmer because of this sentence. He looked at Xuanping Hou and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?" ”
"Your Highness, there are many ways to kill Kong Taichang's family, you can't kill them in a moment of anger." Xuanping Hou said warmly, "You have to make sure that everyone can't make mistakes, and you also want everyone to think that you understand righteousness." ”
The acting king was confused by Xuanping Hou's words, and asked with a blank face: "What do you mean?" ”
"Your Highness, you can't suffer this grievance in vain." Xuan Pinghou's expression suddenly became serious, "You must get this account back from Kong Taichang's family!" ”
When the acting king heard this, a fine light burst out of his eyes.
"Uncle, how do you ask for it?"
"Your Highness, you need to act in a play."
The acting king asked suspiciously: "Acting, what kind of play?" ”
Marquis Xuanping leaned into the ear of the acting king and whispered something.
After hearing this, the acting king's expression became excited, and he immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha...... Okay, this king will play another scene! With that, he stood up and said, "This king will go to his father now." ”
"Your Highness, wait." Marquis Xuanping called the acting king, "Your Highness, you must do this in front of all the ministers." ”
"In front of the ministers?"
Xuanping Hou said meaningfully: "Yes, tomorrow morning, you will help Kong Taichang's family intercede in front of hundreds of civil and military officials." ”
The acting king instantly understood what Xuanping Hou meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow morning, this king will intercede for Kong Taichang's family, and implore his father to dissolve the marriage contract." ”
"Uncle, you still have a way."
Xuanping Hou sighed lightly and said: "The emperor gave you Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to marry, and I was happy for a long time, but I didn't expect this matter to develop like this." ”
The acting king smiled and said: "The shame that this king has suffered during this period of time, this king will let the Kong family return it a thousand times." ”
