It's another spring and autumn year.

In the spring, the capital finally warmed up, but it didn't take long for it to rain. During this period of time, it has been rainy and rainy, and the weather that has finally warmed up has become cold again.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Daiwang's Mansion was even colder than the weather.

The acting princess is no more.

Last year, the acting princess finally gave birth to the eldest son of the acting king. She had a difficult birth during childbirth and almost lost her life, but fortunately, she and her child Fu Da survived, but since then, the princess's body has become very weak.

After giving birth to the child, the acting princess has been bedridden. In order to make the acting princess better, the acting king invited many doctors to recuperate for the acting princess, but it was always ineffective. Later, the king begged the emperor and asked the emperor to arrange for the Xie family's miracle doctor to take the pulse of the princess.

The emperor knew the character of the acting king, if he was not desperate, he would never ask the Xie family doctor to take the pulse of the acting princess.

With the emperor's order, the Duke of Zhenguo did not dare to disobey the order, so he naturally obediently arranged for the Xie family's divine doctor to take the pulse of the princess.

After the Xie family doctor checked the pulse of the princess, he told the princess that the princess was completely injured because of the previous dystocia, and the medicine stone was useless, and the gods were difficult to save. He asked the acting king to prepare for the aftermath for the acting princess.

Of course, the acting king could not accept this result, but all the doctors said so, and he could only accept it.

She knew by herself that after the princess gave birth to her son, she knew that her time was running out. She was able to live so long because she relied on ginseng to hang her life. Now, her body is like dead wood, and no amount of precious ginseng or other medicinal herbs can save her life.

The acting princess knew that she was about to die, so she deliberately bathed and changed her clothes and put on exquisite makeup.

Since giving birth to a child who is sick, the acting princess has not only become weaker and weaker, but her face has become more and more ugly. She once saw herself in the mirror and couldn't believe it was her, because the people in the mirror were as scary as ghosts.

The princess sat on the bed, her spirit and face suddenly improved a lot, and with her delicate makeup, she seemed to be back before she was sick.

The Acting King sat on the edge of the bed, holding the Acting Princess's hand with both hands. He looked at the acting princess with red eyes and tears in his eyes.

Princess Dai is the cousin of King Dai, and the two grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is very good. In the heart of the acting king, the acting princess is very important. Not only because the princess is his childhood sweetheart, but also because the princess is smart and virtuous. Over the years, the acting princess has been helping him with advice and helping him solve a lot of things.

"Cousin, in the future, you have to take good care of yourself and take good care of our son." The acting princess does not regret giving birth to a child for the acting king, let alone losing her life for it.

The acting king held the hand of the acting princess tightly, his eyes full of sadness and reluctance. His voice choked: "Princess......"

The princess reached out and touched the face of the king, and her eyes were full of reluctance.

"Cousin, the happiest thing in my life is to marry you......" Princess Dai said, the light in her eyes slowly dimmed, and her tone became weaker and weaker, she talked about what happened when she and Dai Wang were children, and talked about what they looked like when they first got married...... She said a lot of things.

The king listened quietly while silently weeping.

At that moment, a thunderclap sounded outside the window, and a bolt of lightning tore through the gloomy sky.

The acting princess knew that she was leaving. Before leaving, she used her last strength to hold the hand of the acting king, gasped and said, "Cousin, you must take care of our son, and don't let him be wronged......"

"Okay."

"Cousin, if you can't take care of our son, you can send him to the palace and ask the concubine to take care of him." The acting princess gasped for breath and said with all her might, "Cousin, you have to think twice before acting in the future, you must ask the concubine...... There is also a side princess...... She is a member of the Wang family after all...... You must not be fooled by her...... You must be optimistic about her......" Before the words fell, the acting princess closed her eyes and completely lost her breath.

"Princess! Princess! Princess! ”

The rain outside the window was very heavy, and the acting king in the house cried loudly for the acting princess.

Soon, the palace received the news of the death of the princess.

The eighth prince in the Xingde Palace naturally also received the news.

"This generation of princesses is finally dead." Yu Haidao, "Her life is really big, she lived for an extra year." "It stands to reason that Princess Dai should have died when she gave birth, but I didn't expect her to have a big life, so she survived and lived for one more year.

A playful smile rose at the corner of the Eighth Prince's mouth, and said, "The acting princess is dead, and there will be a good show to watch next." ”

Yu Hai smiled: "Finally, there is a good show to watch." As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hai remembered another interesting thing, "Your Highness, I heard that the princess of Annan Kingdom is clamoring to make peace with King Zheng. "King Zheng is the third prince, last year the third prince came of age and was named King Zheng, and his fief was in Jiaozhou. However, King Zheng has not yet traveled to his fiefdom.

Not long after King Zheng was crowned king last year, he married Princess Zheng and Princess Side. Because he had just gotten married, and Princess Zheng was pregnant, he didn't leave to go to Jiaozhou.

Concubine Shu and the Wang family were dissatisfied with King Zheng's fiefdom. They didn't expect the emperor to let King Zheng go to Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou is a very small state, and it is not rich, and the most important thing is that it is a little far away from the capital and a little close to Shudi.

In the eyes of Concubine Shu and the Wang family, Jiaozhou is a poor and remote place, where are they willing to go to such a poor place to suffer. The most important thing is that Jiaozhou is too small to be of much use.

The Marquis of Anyang and Concubine Shu begged the emperor in every possible way, hoping that the emperor would keep King Zheng in the capital for two more years. The emperor did not agree at first, but thought that the acting king would still stay in the capital, so he had to agree to King Zheng to stay in the capital for two more years.

After King Zheng became an adult, although he did not go to the fief, he also began to officially go to court. However, he does not have a real position as a king. He was just an ornament in the court for the time being.

The emperor was very dissatisfied with the fact that King Zheng used unruly means to marry the princess of Annan. At that time, the emperor reprimanded King Zheng for being a person of improper mind, and said that he had lost the face of the royal family.

Because of this matter, the emperor did not arrange for King Zheng to do things.

In fact, before the three princes were crowned kings last year, the emperor thought about canonizing the three princes as county kings, not princes. Later, under the persuasion of He Xiang and Liu Taishi, he changed his mind and named the third prince as the prince.

Concubine Shu and Marquis Anyang also knew that the emperor was angry about the princess of Annan, so they didn't dare to seek a real job for King Zheng for the time being.

They begged the emperor to keep King Zheng in the capital, just to serve King Zheng in the future. They believed that when King Zheng's child was born, the emperor would be angry with King Zheng, and then they would seek a real job for King Zheng.

"The princess of Annan originally liked the third child, she was lost by the third child, and was forced to marry the third child, she naturally had resentment in her heart, and she was naturally dissatisfied with the third child." Of course, in this matter back then, the eighth prince sent someone to secretly help, otherwise the third prince would not have succeeded at that time.

"Your Royal Highness, who does the princess of Annan Kingdom like, could it be the emperor?" Yu Hai felt that his guess was right, "Also, it is better to be the emperor's concubine than to be King Zheng's side princess." ”

"No, the princess of Annan has a fancy for the fourth child."

"What?" Yu Hai was shocked, "Is it the Fourth Highness?" ”

The eighth prince nodded his head and said, "It's the fourth." ”

Yu Hai opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said with a look of disbelief: "How can it be the Fourth Highness?" ”

The eighth prince sneered: "Women like the face of the fourth child, and it is not strange that the princess of Annan Kingdom takes a fancy to the fourth child." ”

"Your Royal Highness is not as ......good-looking as Your Highness" Yu Hai realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth, and then knelt on the ground to plead guilty to the Eighth Prince, "The slave deserves to die, ask His Highness to punish him." ”

The eighth prince was not angry, and raised his hand to Yu Hai: "Get up." ”

Yu Hai heard that the Eighth Prince was not angry, and breathed a sigh of relief in the letter.

"Your Highness."

He stood up and said, "Your Highness, since the princess of Annan Kingdom likes the Fourth Highness, we might as well make use of this matter to make some articles." ”

The Eighth Prince asked, "What article?" ”

"Your Highness, in a few months, the Fourth Highness will be crowned king, if we don't make a fuss, maybe the emperor will give the Fourth Highness a good fief."

The Eighth Emperor asked with interest, "Which state do you think Father Emperor will give to the fourth child?" ”

Yu Hai replied without hesitation: "Liangzhou." ”

"Why do you think it's Liangzhou?"

"Liangzhou is one of the most important state capitals, and Liangzhou is rich in products, the emperor will not rest assured that such an important place in Liangzhou will be handed over to the five princes and the seventh princes." Yu Hai analyzed, "In addition, in the past two years, the emperor has taken a fancy to the Fourth Highness, and the emperor will definitely hand over Liangzhou to the management of the Fourth Highness." ”

After listening to Yu Hai's analysis, the eighth prince gave Yu Hai an appreciative look.

"That's right, my father will hand over Liangzhou to the fourth child to manage."

"Your Highness, you must not let the Fourth Highness be in charge of Liangzhou." Yu Hai hurriedly said, "Once Liangzhou is the Fourth Highness, the Fourth Highness will be a very big threat to us in the future. "Among so many princes, only the four highnesses pose the greatest threat to your highness. It is best for them to get rid of the Four Highnesses before they are fully fed.

The Eighth Prince naturally knew this, but he couldn't touch the Fourth Prince now.

"As soon as we do the fourth, we will be exposed."

Yu Hai didn't think of this: "What His Highness said is true. There was a hint of unwillingness on his face, "Your Highness, are we going to watch the fourth prince take charge of Liangzhou?" ”

The Eighth Prince said in a calm tone: "The fourth is not our opponent now. ”

"Your Highness, Liangzhou is a very important place......

"Liangzhou is better for the fourth child than for King Zheng." Although the eighth prince has been secretly fighting for that position, it does not mean that he only has power in his heart and no people. On the contrary, he had a people in him.

"Your Royal Highness, it is impossible for the emperor to give Liangzhou to King Zheng and them." Yu Hai thought to himself, the emperor wanted to reward Liangzhou to the four princes, and I was afraid that no one could stop it.

"The fourth child and I don't have river water for the time being, so there is no need to meddle in his affairs." The Eighth Prince said in a serious tone, "Until the crown prince and the acting king are not defeated, we must not be exposed." ”

"It's the slave who is careless." Yu Hai said, "Your Highness is still wise. ”

"Early tomorrow morning, you will send me a tribute to the king's mansion."

"Yes, Your Highness."

In the Kunde Palace, Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao also learned about this matter.

Since last year, everyone has been passing on the princess's poor health. The imperial doctors all said that it would be difficult for the princess to survive next spring, and now it is really said by the imperial doctors.

Liang Zhaoyi sighed softly, her tone full of pity: "The acting princess is also a poor person. ”

Zhao Yao couldn't understand: "Is it worth it to lose your life in order to have a child?" "If it were him, he would never let his princess give up her life to give up her life.

"Most women in the world think it's worth it." Liang Zhaoyi told Zhao Yao, "You go to the palace early tomorrow morning to mourn." ”

"I see." Zhao Yao sighed, "Why bother. ”

Seeing that his son didn't understand, Liang Zhaoyi said to him gently: "A few years ago, the acting king was ridiculed by the courtiers and the people because he had no heirs, and the acting princess was also blamed by everyone. Besides, Princess Dai loves King Dai deeply, how can she bear to be ridiculed by the world all the time. ”

She added: "Even if she knew in advance that she would die because of giving birth to a child, she would have no hesitation to give birth to a child for the king." ”

"It's not the fault of the princess that she can't have children." Zhao Yao shook his head and said with a disapproving face, "I don't approve of such behavior. "When a person dies, there is nothing. People don't die, and they still have a chance to give birth to children in the future.

Liang Zhaoyi smiled slightly and didn't say anything more about this topic. Changed the topic and talked about the matter of the four princes.

"This year, the four princes are adults, have you thought about any birthday gifts for the four princes?"

"Ah, there are still a few months before the fourth brother's birthday, what's the hurry." Speaking of the fact that the fourth prince was about to become an adult and become king, Zhao Yao's little face showed a reluctant look, "After the fourth brother is crowned queen, is he going to the fief immediately?" ”

"Probably not." Liang Zhaoyi said, "After King Zheng became the queen, didn't he go to Jiaozhou?" ”

"That's because the third brother dislikes Jiaozhou and is not willing to go, but the fourth brother is different, the fourth brother once said that when he is crowned king, he will go to the fief immediately." Zhao Yao said, sighing faintly, "I'm afraid that the fourth brother has been preparing to go to the fiefdom since last year." Now the fourth brother is waiting to be crowned king. He felt that the fourth brother couldn't wait to go to the fiefdom for a long time.

Liang Zhaoyi asked: "Reluctant to the four princes?" ”

Zhao Yao nodded vigorously: "Reluctant, very reluctant." ”

"If you are reluctant to let go to the Four Princes, you can ask your father to go to the fiefdom of the Four Princes for a period of time in the future." Liang Zhaoyi suggested.

Zhao Yao pouted and said, "Will the stinky father agree?" ”

Liang Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Maybe I will agree." ”

"Then I'll beg to see it then." Zhao Yao stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with a bitter face, "Mother, I want to grow up again, but I don't want to grow up." When I grow up, the fourth brother and the starling brother will leave me. If I don't grow up, I will stay in the palace for the rest of my life. "He is really reluctant to give up the fourth brother and the starling. Fortunately, after the fourth brother left the capital, there was still the starling brother. It's just that he can't wait a few years, and the starling is going to be an adult king and go to the fiefdom.

"There is no feast in the world that will not be dissolved." Liang Zhaoyi gently comforted Zhao Yao and said, "The fourth prince hasn't left yet, before he leaves, it's good for you to accompany him well." ”

"That's all it can be."

"The fourth prince treats you well, you should give him a big gift before he goes to the fiefdom."

"A big gift?" Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Liang Zhaoyi meant, "Then I have to think about it." ”

Seeing that her son understood what she meant, Liang Zhaoyi didn't say anything more. She continued to sit in front of the loom weaving.

The loom that Liang Zhaoyi is using now is a new textile machine made by Zhao Yao last year.

The new textile machine is not only lighter and easier to use than the old textile machine, but also better than the cloth woven by the old textile machine, and the speed of weaving is faster than the old textile machine, and it also weaves more cloth than the old textile machine.

The new textile machine made by Zhao Yao has been used in various parts of the Great Zhou and is deeply loved by the people.

The emergence of the new textile machine made Zhao Yao, the tenth prince, "popular" among the people.

Now, when the people mention the Ten Princes, they will praise him.

Zhao Yao didn't think anything about it. He felt like he was just doing what he had to do.

Before, the ministers thought that Zhao Yao was a stupid prince, but now the ministers don't think so. Although the Ten Princes are still not smart in reading, they are very talented in doing things.

In the past few years, the things made by His Royal Highness Ten have been more amazing than the same, but the ministers still think that he has no future, and they are still unwilling to support him, on the surface.

The ministers admitted that what Zhao Yao made was very useful to the people, but they still looked down on Zhao Yao because they felt that what Zhao Yao made was useless to them.

Most of the ministers in the court are selfish, and they only serve as officials for their own glory and glory, not for the benefit of the people. The lives of the people are not important to them. Therefore, no matter what Zhao Yao does, they will not change their minds to support the Ten Princes.

Zhao Yao is not uncommon with the support of ministers. If the ministers support him, it will be a bad thing for him.

Nowadays, most of the ministers in the court still support the crown prince and the acting king, but some of them support the four princes. At present, there are more ministers supporting the four princes than King Zheng.

Although the situation in the court has not yet reached the point of a three-legged stand, when the fourth prince becomes an adult, it is very likely that there will be a three-legged situation.

The first day of next month will resume two shifts.

Zhao Yao: The fourth brother is going to leave the capital as the king, and he is reluctant to do so

It's the last two days of this month, old iron, ask for a monthly pass!
