Chapter 167: The Emperor's Father-in-law
It has been nine years since Liang Zhaoyi left home for the draft.
In the past nine years, Liang Shuren and the others have not seen Liang Zhaoyi's daughter once. Although they have been in contact for several years, and their daughter told them that they are doing well in the letter, they are still not at ease.
When their daughter was at home, they loved her in every way, and they were reluctant to let her eat a little and suffer a little grievance. Since their daughter's successful draft, they are not only unhappy, but worried.
The harem is a dangerous place to eat people without spitting out bones and heads. How many daughters died not long after entering the palace, and they were worried all day long at that time, worried that their daughters would be bullied and killed when they entered the palace.
Later, when they received that their daughter gave birth to a dragon son for the emperor, they were even more worried. Their Liang family does not have any power in the capital, and their daughter gave birth to His Royal Highness, but they are afraid that they will arouse the jealousy or jealousy of some high-ranking and powerful mothers, and then their daughter and His Royal Highness will be in danger.
They were worried day and night, even if they would receive the news that something had happened to their daughter and His Royal Highness. However, they have not waited for the bad news in the past few years, which makes them feel a little relieved.
After the youngest son went to the capital, he finally got in touch with his daughter. Knowing that their daughter was doing well in the palace, they felt a little more relieved. However, they were afraid that their daughter would deliberately say that she was doing well in the palace in order not to worry them.
In the past two years, they have received a letter from His Royal Highness, which made them very happy. In his letters, His Royal Highness often told them that their mother and son were living well in the palace, and asked them not to worry about them. However, the youngest son told them in the letter that his daughter and His Royal Highness were not very favored, and lived very carefully in the palace.
When they thought that their daughter, who had been spoiled from childhood to adulthood, was careful everywhere in the palace and inferior everywhere, their hearts were like knives.
His official position is too low, and he is not qualified to enter Beijing, let alone enter the palace to visit his daughter.
Liang Shuren also hesitated for a long time before deciding to ask Taishi Liu about them.
Hearing Liang Shuren's question, Taishi Liu was not surprised at all.
"Zhaoyi Niangniang and His Royal Highness Ten are very good."
"Really?" As soon as Liang Shuren finished saying this, he realized that he was not right to say this, and when he was about to change his words, he heard Taishi Liu say, "Really." ”
Song Dekang on the side said: "His Royal Highness Ten is very smart, and some time ago he made stirrups, a good thing, and the emperor rewarded him with a lot of things. ”
"His Royal Highness Ten ......" Liang Shuren received a portrait sent to him by Zhao Yao some time ago, and the Ten Highnesses in the portrait looked very beautiful and cute, much like his daughter.
"His Royal Highness Ten is very smart and cute, and the emperor loves him very much."
The emperor favors the Ten Highnesses?
Liang Shuren was puzzled, His Royal Highness Ten wrote to say that he and Zhaoyi Niangniang were not very favored, why did Taishi Liu say that the emperor loved His Royal Highness Ten very much? Mrs. Liu is comforting him.
Next, Taishi Liu told Liang Shuren what Zhao Yao had done.
When Liang Shuren heard that Zhao Yao stole He Xiang's orchid to eat, he was stunned.
Song Dekang, who was on the side, slapped his thigh when he heard it, and said with a smile that His Royal Highness Ten did a good job.
Liang Shuren didn't expect His Highness Ten to be so ...... Naughty and cute.
After listening to Taishi Liu and them talk about Zhao Yao for a while, Liang Shuren got up and said goodbye.
After Liang Shuren left, Song Dekang said: "What do you think of the boss, his father-in-law's ability is good, and he is a good official, why don't you promote his father-in-law to the capital?" ”
"The Liang family has been in business for generations, and it is not bad in Yangzhou, but when they go to the capital, they are nothing." Taishi Liu said, "His county order was still bought in the previous dynasty, and he has done well over the years, but he has not made any great achievements." Moreover, it is not a good thing for them to go to the capital. ”
"You don't see it, people miss their daughters." Song Dekang sighed and said, "It is estimated that Liang Zhaoyi has never seen his family since he entered the palace." ”
Taishi Liu glanced at Song Dekang and said, "There are a few concubines in this palace who can see their parents and family. ”
"Can Liang Zhaoyi be the same as other concubines?"
"It's because it's different, so the emperor won't transfer Liang Zhaoyi's father to the capital to take up a post." Taishi Liu said with a deep face, "Don't you see that the emperor is protecting them?" ”
Hearing Taishi Liu say this, Song Dekang reacted.
"Really."
Mrs. Liu didn't say anything more, and turned the topic back to Yangzhou.
Song Dekang listened carefully.
The discussion between the two did not end until the end of the day.
"It's a pity." Song Dekang suddenly sighed.
Taishi Liu paused as he picked up the teacup, and then asked suspiciously, "What is the pity?" ”
"It's a pity that we're not in the capital." Song Dekang's expression became shy, "In the past few days, there must be a good show in the capital, but unfortunately we can't see it." ”
Taishi Liu nodded and said, "It's a pity." ”
"I really want to see the faces of those families in the capital, it must be very exciting." Song Dekang said, "The boss's move will definitely scare those families in the capital." ”
"That's what the emperor wants." After drinking tea, Taishi Liu stood up and said, "I'm going to be busy tomorrow, go back and rest." ”
"Lao Liu, tomorrow the prison will go, or will I go?" Song Dekang chased after him and asked.
"Don't you really like to be beheaded, you can continue to go to the jail."
"No, I've been in prison for the past few days, and I'm annoyed." Since these families in Yangzhou were arrested, Taishi Liu began to give them a certain crime. There are so many sins they have committed, and they are all serious crimes. Emperor Wu of Zhou directly ordered the execution of Liu Taishi and Song Dekang in Yangzhou.
Of course, not everyone is punished on the spot in Yangzhou. More than a dozen people were escorted to the capital, where they were executed.
These dozen people are the heads of the Yangzhou gate valve family. The crimes they committed were too numerous to mention, and they had to be executed in the capital.
One of the most important reasons for the execution in the capital was to let the family of the gate valve in the capital watch.
"There's one thing I don't understand." Song Dekang asked in surprise, "Why didn't you say that the boss didn't take Dong Jin back to the capital for execution?" ”
"A small rebel took him to the capital for execution, and that gave him face." Taishi Liu sneered, "Is he Dong Jinde?" ”
Song Dekang nodded and said, "He is not worthy." Thinking of the situation when he interrogated Dong Jin before, Song Dekang always felt that Dong Jin was still hiding some things, but no matter how much he and Taishi Liu asked, Dong Jin never spoke again.
"Lao Liu, what did you say Dong Jin's turtle grandson was still hiding?"
"What else can be hidden from the real mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Who do you say is the real mastermind behind this, who has the ability to make Dong Jin work so hard for him and be so loyal?" Song Dekang clasped his hands on his chest and said as he walked, "When I arrested him, he was obviously shocked, as if he couldn't believe that he had been sold. ”
"You said that he knew that he was sold by the mastermind behind the scenes, but he still kept it secret for the mastermind behind the scenes, what are you trying to do?"
"It's very simple, he has any important people in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes, and once he confesses to the mastermind behind the scenes, his important people will die."
"Even if he keeps it a secret for the mastermind behind the scenes, his important person will die." Song Dekang held his right elbow with his left hand, pinched his chin with his right hand and said, "He has no use value, so there is no need for his important person to stay in the world." You say, doesn't he know this? ”
"I know." Taishi Liu said, letting out a sneer, "He knows in his heart that if he doesn't say it, then his important person still has a chance of life." If he speaks, then his important person will surely die. ”
"Yes." Song Dekang asked again, "Lao Liu, who do you say is the person behind Dong Jin?" ”
"I don't know."
"Lao Liu, with your cleverness, it's impossible not to know." Song Dekang guessed, "The people behind Dong Jin must be from the capital, but I don't know if it's the Wang family, or the Xun family, or the Yuan family, or the Yu family......"
Mrs. Liu ignored Song Dekang's words, walked into the courtyard where he lived, and then closed the door in front of Song Dekang.
Song Dekang's nose was almost caught by the door, and he was so angry that he knocked on the door a few times.
At this time, the adjutant general came over and said, "General, there are several people in the prison who are clamoring to see you, saying that they don't want to die, and they want to make meritorious contributions to the crime and tell you something." ”
Song Dekang said impatiently: "This group of turtle sons is endless, and Lao Tzu still has to sleep." ”
Taishi Liu: The emperor is very fond of His Royal Highness Ten.
Zhao Yao: Why didn't I know?
In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass!
