Chapter 172: Conspiracy

Liang Shuren made great contributions to the affairs of Yangzhou and was promoted to Yangzhou Taishou by Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Regarding the promotion of Liang Zhaoyi's father to Yangzhou Taishou, no one in the previous dynasty and the harem cared about it. A Yangzhou Taishou is nothing to the officials in the capital, and a minor official to the concubines in the harem.

The high-ranking concubines in the harem, their fathers and brothers have very high official positions and hold real power. A Taishou of Yangzhou is nothing in front of their father and brother.

Moreover, Liang Zhaoyi's father was promoted to Yangzhou Taishou, and he was not a threat to the concubines in the harem, so naturally no one cared.

However, the people in the Kunde Hall were glad about this.

"It's a good thing that Lord Liang has been promoted to Taishou, as long as Lord Liang's Taishou does a good job, he can be promoted in the future, and then Lord Liang can be transferred to the capital." Yu Meiren was really happy for Liang Zhaoyi, "When Liang Taishou comes to the capital, sister, you will be able to meet Liang Taishou."

Liang Zhaoyi knew in her heart that her father would never be transferred to the capital to join the company. She smiled and said, "I hope to see my father as soon as possible, but it will be difficult for my father to be transferred to the capital." Besides, even if my father can be transferred to the capital in the future, I may not be able to meet him. ”

When the poppy thought of herself, her expression couldn't help but become gloomy.

She is a native of Beijing, and her father has served in the capital, but for so many years, she has not seen her father.

First, because of her low status, she is not qualified to summon her parents and family members to the palace to meet. Second, because of his father's low official position, his mother did not have any edicts, and he could not enter the palace to see her.

Only concubines above the concubine level in the harem are qualified to summon their parents and family members to the palace to meet each other. Only the father of the concubine or above has a high official position, and the mother has a decree.

Like their own low status and their father's low official position, it is impossible to see each other at all.

Yu Meiren sighed faintly and said, "It seems that we will not be able to see our parents and family in this life." ”

Pan Cairen said with red eyes, holding back tears: "I think about my father and mother every day, and I think about it in my dreams. If I don't see my dad again, I'll forget what my dad looks like. "Pan Cairen entered the palace later than Liang Zhaoyi, but it has been six years since he entered the palace.

The poppy's face was full of loss, and she said in a heavy tone, "Me too." ”

Liang Zhaoyi didn't speak, but in her heart, like Yu Meiren, she missed her parents and family every day.

The fifth princess was sad when she saw the poppy, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hold the poppy's hand and say, "Mother, you still have me and Yaoyao." ”

Yu Meiren reached out and touched the face of the fifth princess, and smiled with relief: "Fortunately, we still have you and Yaoyao, otherwise I really don't know how to spend my life in this palace." ”

Liang Zhaoyi saw that Pan Cairen still couldn't hold back, cried silently, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Spring hunting will be in a few days, and we can go out to breathe." ”

Speaking of spring hunting, the faces of Yu Mei and Pan Cairen immediately changed, and they became happy and looking forward to it.

"Yes, we can also go out for a few days to breathe and see the outside world." If there is no spring hunting and autumn hunting, they will not be able to leave the palace in this life, and they will always be locked in this gorgeous "cage", and they will either die of illness or suffocation at that time.

Although Pan Cairen is afraid of seeing people on weekdays, he is still very much looking forward to spring hunting.

"Fortunately, the first queen proposed to let us concubines go with us to spring and autumn hunting."

"Empress Xian really did a lot of things for us." When it comes to the first queen, the poppy is full of gratitude.

"The first queen knows that our concubine's life is not easy, so she thinks about us everywhere." A queen like the first queen who is not jealous of the concubine, but protects the concubine everywhere, and thinks about the queen for the concubine, it is really hard to find time.

The poppy lowered her voice and said, "If it is the queen mother, we will definitely not be allowed to participate in the spring and autumn hunts......

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Liang Zhaoyi.

Liang Zhaoyi warned her: "I don't want to live anymore, I dare to say that about the queen." ”

Only then did the poppy realize that she had just said something she shouldn't have said. There was a hint of panic in her eyes, and she quickly said, "I am...... I don't dare anymore. ”

Seeing that the poppy was scared, Liang Zhaoyi hurriedly slowed down her tone: "In the past few days, the queen mother has been in a bad mood, we have to be careful." "A few days ago, the queen mother and the town of the country had a big quarrel, and I heard that the queen mother smashed a lot of things. So far, the anger of the queen has not disappeared, in addition to the eunuchs and palace maids in Zhaoyang Palace who have been punished, many people in other palaces have also been punished. "Besides, beware of the walls with ears." Although the Kunde Hall is located in a remote location, and no one has come to the Kunde Hall to inquire about the news, what they say may be spread out.

Yu Mei and Pan Cairen hurriedly nodded: "Sister, we will be careful in the future." ”

Liang Zhaoyi nodded her head, didn't say anything about it, and continued to talk about the spring hunt.

The site of the spring hunt was in the eastern suburbs of the capital, where there was a royal enclosure left over from the Zheng dynasty. After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many things left over from the previous dynasty or the Zheng Dynasty were used, such as the imperial palace, the royal courtyard, the royal enclosure, etc. However, the royal enclosure came in handy after Emperor Wu of Zhou ascended the throne.

When the first emperor was in power, his health was not very good. At that time, there were a lot of things, although he left most of the political affairs to Emperor Wu of Zhou, who was still the crown prince at the time, but there were still many things that he needed to deal with as an emperor.

At that time, the first emperor was too busy to go out hunting, and the royal enclosure in the eastern suburbs had been idle. In the third year of Emperor Wu of Zhou's ascension to the throne, the royal enclosure in the eastern suburbs came in handy.

Spring hunting and autumn hunting were proposed by Song Dekang, and Emperor Wu of Zhou felt that it was good to resume spring hunting and autumn hunting, so he agreed.

Now, spring hunting is the most important activity in spring after spring ploughing.

The spring hunt is held to get everyone active, after all, it has been nesting all winter.

Although it is said that spring hunting, spring hunting is not the same as autumn hunting.

Autumn hunts are held in autumn for harvest. And the spring hunt is held in the spring, not really for hunting, but for "play". Of course, hunting is also required, but the number of hunts will be limited, unlike autumn hunting, which is unrestricted.

The Spring Hunt was held for three days, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could bring their families to participate. The concubines of the harem can also participate. Of course, men and women will be separated.

In the past few days, Zhao Yao has been counting the days with his fingers, hoping that the spring hunt will come sooner.

At noon, after school, Zhao Yao was not in a hurry to return to Kunde Palace, nor was he in a hurry to go to Lanyuan Pavilion to find the fourth prince, but was called away by Mr. Xiao.

Mr. Xiao found an arithmetic book from elsewhere. Ever since he knew that Zhao Yao was interested in arithmetic and had a talent for arithmetic, he had been helping him find books on arithmetic.

Seeing that Mr. Xiao was so attentive to his love of arithmetic, Zhao Yao's heart was full of emotion and gratitude.

"Thank you so much, sir."

"Nothing, you don't have to care." Although Mr. Xiao's face was still expressionless, his eyes looking at Zhao Yao were very kind. "After reading this book, you can tell me again."

Zhao Yao was also polite: "Okay." ”

"It's not too early, you can go back to dinner quickly."

"Sir, then I'll go first." Zhao Yao had just taken two steps, and suddenly remembered something, and walked back to Mr. Xiao, "Sir, do you have any friends who are willing to be Mr." ”

"Mr. Doing?" Mr. Xiao asked with a puzzled face, "Who to teach?" ”

"That's right, I have a friend who wants to ask my husband to go to the health hall to teach those orphans to read." Zhao Yao said, "There are many children in the health hall who want to study, and my friend wants to find a more reliable gentleman to teach them. ”

Mr. Xiao asked suspiciously, "Your friend?" ”

Zhao Yao looked at Mr. Xiao, hesitated in his heart, and then raised his right hand to his mouth, and whispered to Mr. Xiao: "Actually, it's my second uncle, he wants to find a reliable gentleman to teach those children in the health hall." You also know that very few gentlemen are willing to go to the health hall to teach orphans, and even if they do, they will not teach well. ”

"Your second uncle?" Mr. Xiao was shocked, and then said with admiration, "Your second uncle is really a good person. ”

"Sir, don't worry, my second uncle will give you monthly money."

Mr. Xiao said, "I'll help you ask." ”

"Sir, be sure to find someone you can trust." Zhao Yao scratched his head and said, "Also, can you hide that my second uncle invited someone." ”

Mr. Xiao did not ask why Zhao Yao wanted to hide his second uncle. He nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"And ask your friends to help keep it secret."

"Okay."

Seeing that Mr. Xiao didn't ask him why he wanted to keep it secret, Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Sure enough, Mr. Xiao is reliable!

"Thank you so much, sir." Zhao Yao bowed gratefully to Mr. Xiao.

Mr. Xiao hurriedly helped Zhao Yao up: "His Royal Highness Ten is serious. After he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yao looking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes, and then he heard His Royal Highness Ten say, "Sir, when I grow up and go to the fief, do you want to go to my fief to teach?" ”

Mr. Xiao was stunned for a moment when Zhao Yao's question was asked, "Go to your fiefdom to teach?" ”

Zhao Yao nodded again and again: "Well, when I grow up and become king, I want to invite you to teach in my fiefdom." ”

He added, "Sir, it's still too early for me to grow up, so you can think about it slowly." ”

Seeing Zhao Yao's expression of seriousness in inviting him, Mr. Xiao also said very cautiously: "I will consider it seriously." ”

"Then sir, I'll go first, and you can go to lunch." After Zhao Yao saluted, he left the Wende Hall in a hurry.

He didn't go back to the Kunde Hall for lunch, but went directly to Lanyuan Pavilion to find the four princes to have dinner together.

When the fourth prince saw Zhao Yao holding an arithmetic book in his hand, he knew that it was given to him by Mr. Xiao.

"Tenth brother, your bow and arrow are ready, you can take it to the martial arts arena in the afternoon to try." The fourth prince specially found someone to make a bow and arrow for Zhao Yao.

When Zhao Yao heard the words of the fourth prince, he showed a look of surprise on his face: "My bow and arrow are ready?" Fourth brother, did you make me a bow and arrow? ”

Wei Mian on the side said: "Your Highness Ten, Your Highness of my family specially made a bow and arrow for you. ”

"Fourth brother, there are bows and arrows in the palace, why did you make bows and arrows for me?" Zhao Yao asked puzzled.

"The bows and arrows in the palace are not specially made for you, you have no problem using them for practice on weekdays, but hunting is not very good." The Fourth Prince explained.

"Is that so?" Zhao Yao never noticed this, after all, he used the bow and arrow he practiced very smoothly on weekdays.

"Your Highness the Ten, when you hunt, not only will you be able to shoot your prey well, but you will not be able to strain your shoulder." Wei Mian added, "If you take the bow and arrow you practice on a daily basis to hunt, it is easy to strain your shoulder. ”

Zhao Yao smiled sweetly at the fourth prince: "Thank you, fourth brother!" ”

The fourth brother is so good, even this little thing has been considered for him.

"Fourth brother, when I hunt a fox for you, I will thank you for giving me a bow and arrow." Zhao Yao said confidently.

The fourth prince smiled slightly: "Then I'll wait." ”

At this time, somewhere in the capital, a group of people were plotting something.

"Is the paddock arranged?"

"It's arranged, and nothing goes wrong."

"That's good."

"You can rest assured that this operation will be successful."
