Not long after the news of the death of the two sons of the Yuan family returned to the capital, Mr. Meng was about to leave the capital and go to the next stop, Liangzhou, to continue lecturing.

The fact that Mr. Meng is going to Liangzhou to give a lecture is not a good thing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King. Although so far, they don't feel that the King of Chu will pose a mortal threat to them, they are still afraid of the King of Chu.

Originally, the king of Chu had a high reputation in the hearts of literati and students, but now Mr. Meng is going to Liangzhou to give lectures, which will only make the king of Chu have a higher and higher status in the hearts of scholars.

If Mr. Meng goes to Liangzhou to meet the King of Chu, then the King of Chu will replace His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the hearts of the world's scholars, which is very unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Prince. It is also not a good thing for His Royal Highness the Acting King.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King did not want Mr. Meng to go to Liangzhou to give lectures, and they did not want Mr. Meng to fulfill His Royal Highness the King of Chu. So, they wanted to prevent Mr. Meng from going to Liangzhou. As long as it doesn't hurt Mr. Meng's life and makes him sick or injured, then his old man can't go to Liangzhou for the time being.

Just when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King were thinking about how to prevent Mr. Meng from going to Liangzhou, the emperor issued a holy decree asking Shen Hu and Chu Ying to lead troops to escort Mr. Meng to Liangzhou.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King had any ideas in their hearts, and the Emperor had already expected them. The Emperor deliberately warned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King in the early court. It probably means that if Mr. Meng has an accident on the way to Liangzhou, then the murderer is you.

The emperor also warned them that Mr. Meng was the only great Confucian in the world. If something happens to his old man, the consequences are not something they can afford.

Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious, and the hearts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King were uneasy.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King naturally pretended not to understand, but they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts. With the emperor's warning, how dare they make a move against Mr. Meng.

Before Mr. Meng left the capital, Zhao Yao received a letter from the King of Chu. In the letter, the king of Chu repeatedly apologized to Zhao Yao, and repeatedly warmly invited Zhao Yao to go to Liangzhou as a guest.

Zhao Yao originally planned not to go to Liangzhou, but for the sake of his fourth brother's "low voice" begging him, he reluctantly agreed to the fourth brother once to go to Liangzhou to see him and his little nephew.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that no matter what His Royal Highness the King of Chu begs you, you won't go to Liangzhou?"

Zhao Yao was a little embarrassed by Tongxi's words. He rolled his eyes, and said with some emptiness: "I didn't go to Liangzhou to see the fourth brother, but to see my little nephew." The little nephew said in the letter that he wanted to see me very much, and he wanted to see me in his dreams, how could you bear to refuse. ”

He kindly reminded Zhao Yao of one thing: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that the emperor won't let you go to Liangzhou?" ”

When Zhao Yao heard Tongxi say this, he immediately remembered that there was such a thing, and the smile on his face froze.

Tongxi couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness, although you can't bear to refuse Your Highness's request, the emperor will definitely not let you go to Liangzhou." ”

Zhao Yao: "......" how did he forget about this matter.

"No, I'll go and beg my father, and I will beg until my father agrees to me."

"Your Highness, it's not the slave who hits you, the slave feels that no matter what you ask, the emperor will not agree." After Tongxi finished speaking, he added, "You also know that the emperor has always been hard-hearted. ”

Zhao Yao: "......" Tongxi is not wrong at all, his father has always been hard-hearted.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor has always liked to bully you, and the more you ask the emperor to agree to your going to Liangzhou, the more the emperor will not agree." Although the emperor loves His Royal Highness, he also loves to bully His Highness.

Zhao Yao's face instantly darkened: "What you said is so right, with my father's bad temperament, the more I beg him, the more he will bully me." "How did he forget about it.

"So, Your Highness, you can't go to Liangzhou, unless Niangniang agrees to let you go." The correspondence gave Zhao Yao an idea, "You go to ask the emperor, it is better to ask the mother." ”

Zhao Yao glanced at Tongxi, and said angrily: "Do you think that begging for a mother is easier than begging for a father?" "The mother concubine looks gentle and gentle, but the mother concubine is more hard-hearted than her father.

"Then Your Highness, you should still die."

"No, I'll have to try." Zhao Yao suddenly thought of Mr. Meng, and said with a light in his eyes, "I can go to Liangzhou with Mr. Meng, maybe my father and mother will agree." ”

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being with Mr. Meng? Are you sure you want to follow Mr. Meng all the way to His Royal Highness the King of Chu? ”

When Zhao Yao heard Tongxi ask, a picture appeared in his mind, and then he was frightened. He instantly looked like a frosty eggplant, and said dejectedly: "I can't go with Mr. Meng. ”

"Your Highness, the eldest son and the second son of the Yuan family are dead, and now the atmosphere in the capital is so weird, the slave maid thinks that the emperor will never let you go to Liangzhou." Tongxi said, "The slave maid thinks that Liangzhou is not necessarily safe. ”

"Alas......" Tongxi said very reasonably, so Zhao Yao was very melancholy.

"Your Highness, you should stay in the capital honestly." Although the atmosphere in the capital is not very good, it is safer to stay in the capital than to go far away. If His Royal Highness had any accident on the way to Liangzhou, he would be to blame for his death.

Zhao Yao puffed out his face and said, "I don't want to stay in the capital, I want to go to Liangzhou to play." "He's grown so big, he hasn't been outside the capital. Obviously, Da Zhou is so big, but he has been trapped in the capital.

"Don't think about it."

"No, I'll still ask, otherwise I won't give up." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he went to the imperial study with a fierce attitude. Seeing this, Tongxi hurriedly chased after him. "Your Highness, you wait for me."

After the emperor received the letter from the king of Chu, he had been waiting for Zhao Yao to come to him. As he expected, his youngest son came to him.

Zhao Yao entered the imperial study and saluted the emperor in a proper manner: "The son has seen his father's ......."

Before his words could be heard, he was interrupted by the emperor. Then he heard the Emperor say, "Don't even think about it." ”

Belch...... He hasn't opened his mouth yet.

"Father, what did you say?" He had to pretend he didn't understand.

The emperor said to Zhao Yao with a kind face: "I will not agree to you going to Liangzhou. ”

Zhao Yao: "......"

"The fourth brother wrote a letter to me, hoping that I would agree to let you go to Liangzhou." The Emperor smiled and said, "I don't agree, so don't even think about it." ”

Although he had known that the emperor would say this, he still couldn't help but feel angry when he heard his father say this.

"Why can't I go?"

"There's no why." The emperor deliberately angrily said to Zhao Yao, "If you can't go, you can't go." ”

"Father, why are you so angry?" Zhao Yao's small face turned into a pufferfish, and he looked at the emperor with fierce eyes.

"Also, you don't want to sneak away from home and go to Liangzhou." The emperor guessed Zhao Yao's careful thinking very accurately, he pretended to be vicious, and warned in a solemn tone, "If you dare to sneak away to Liangzhou, the consequences are not something you can bear." ”

Zhao Yao was so frightened that he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but he still stiffened his neck and said: "Father, I am eleven years old, I am half an adult, why can't I go out, you went to the battlefield with the imperial grandfather when you were eleven years old?" ”

"You can compare with Lao Tzu." The emperor glanced at Zhao Yao up and down, and said in a very disgusted tone, "Lao Tzu was half a head taller than you when he was eleven years old, and he was stronger than you. Before Lao Tzu went to the battlefield, he took a group of brothers to fight bandits, can you? ”

"How do you know I'm not good?" Zhao Yao retorted, "You let me go, and I'll prove it to you." ”

"I want to use the method of agitation to provoke you." The emperor saw through Zhao Yao's little trick at a glance, "You are still very tender." ”

was seen through, and Zhao Yao didn't feel embarrassed. He continued: "You didn't let me try, how do you know that I can't do it, you have the ability to test me." ”

The emperor said very ruthlessly: "Don't take the test, Lao Tzu has no time to take care of you, where can you go coolly, don't bother Lao Tzu." ”

Zhao Yao ran to the emperor angrily, angrily took away the fold in the emperor's hand, and slammed it on the imperial table very hard.

The sound of a bang scared Sun Kui, who was standing aside.

The emperor reached out and pulled Zhao Yao into his arms, let him lie on his lap, and then raised his hand and slapped his youngest son's ass a few times.

Where is Zhao Yao's opponent of the emperor, he struggled desperately and did not break free, and was slapped a few times.

"Stinky Father, let me go...... Itchy...... Hahaha......"

The emperor reached out and scratched Zhao Yao's armpits, and Zhao Yao, who was scratching, laughed and begged him for mercy.

"Father, I was wrong, you can spare me." Zhao Yao is not afraid of being beaten, but he is afraid of itching.

The emperor then stopped and let him go.

Zhao Yao lay on the emperor's lap, opened his mouth angrily and bit his thigh hard.

The emperor gasped in pain: "Hey, stinky boy! The emperor reached out and pinched Zhao Yao's mouth, "Are you a dog?" ”

Zhao Yao shouted twice at the emperor "Wang".

The emperor was amused by his two dog barks, and scolded with a smile: "Son of a dog." ”

"Father, if I were a dog, what would you be?"

"Stinky boy, you are not too daring, you dare to scold your son."

"I'm going to Liangzhou to see the fourth brother!" Zhao Yao suddenly said very loudly, startling the emperor.

The emperor grabbed Zhao Yao's nose and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu said, you can't go." ”

"Father, you ......" Zhao Yao was just about to say something, but his small mouth was pinched by the emperor, and he couldn't say a word.

The emperor's face changed, and he suddenly became very stern, and his tone was very serious.

"I'll say it one last time, don't go!"

Zhao Yao didn't dare to say anything more when he heard the emperor say this, but his expression was still very unconvinced, and his eyes were still staring at the emperor.

The emperor patted Zhao Yao's face and unceremoniously ordered the guest: "Get out." ”

When Zhao Yao was leaving, he pulled the emperor's face angrily, and then ran out of the imperial study quickly.

The emperor laughed helplessly and scolded: "Stinky boy! ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid looks at His Royal Highness Ten and wants to go to Liangzhou to find His Royal Highness the King of Chu, why don't you agree to His Royal Highness Ten Highnesses?" Sun Kui thought to himself, if the emperor was not worried about the safety of the Ten Highnesses, he could send someone to escort the Ten Highnesses. Besides, hasn't there been a secret guard secretly protecting the Ten Highnesses all along?

The emperor said in a deep tone: "He can't go to see the fourth. ”

"Why can't you see His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" Sun Kui didn't understand what the emperor meant.

The emperor glanced at Sun Kui and did not speak.

Sun Kui's scalp was numb by this look. He hurriedly lowered his head and pleaded guilty: "The slave and maid are talkative, please forgive the emperor." ”

The emperor retracted his gaze, picked up the fold that had just been taken away by Zhao Yao, and continued to look at it.

Zhao Yao did not succeed in the emperor's place, and ran to ask Concubine Liang again. No matter how he begged, Concubine Liang never agreed to let him go to Liangzhou.

Although he had already guessed that this would be the result, Zhao Yao was still very angry in his heart.

Concubine Liang knew that her son was scheming and didn't agree to him to go, he would find a way to go by himself, so she had to threaten him.

"If you sneak to Liangzhou behind my back, I won't recognize you as a son!"

Zhao Yao saw that Concubine Liang was not joking, but very serious. He couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Concubine Liang blankly.

Concubine Liang said in a solemn tone: "I didn't laugh with you. ”

"Mother concubine......" Zhao Yao didn't understand why Concubine Liang said such a thing? He just wanted to go to Liangzhou to see the fourth brother, and he didn't want to do anything bad, why did the mother concubine say such a serious and scary thing about not recognizing his son?

Concubine Liang didn't speak, and looked at Zhao Yao with a straight face.

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of something, and his face changed.

"Is there something wrong with Liangzhou?"

"No, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is fine."

"Then why are you ...... the concubine" Today's concubine is so abnormal, he has never seen such a concubine.

"I don't worry about you going to Liangzhou." Concubine Liang softened her face slightly, "What is the situation in Beijing now, you don't need me to tell you, you should understand that I really don't feel at ease when you go to Liangzhou at this time." "Of course, that's not the reason.

"Mother, then you don't need to scare me into saying that I don't recognize my son."

"Don't scare you, you won't be obedient, I don't know what kind of character you have." Concubine Liang warned Zhao Yao again, "I'm not joking with you, if you dare to go to Liangzhou secretly, I don't want your son." ”

Zhao Yao: Something is wrong, something is very wrong.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Zhao Yao: "......"

"Mother, you're like this, where do I dare to try." Zhao Yao asked again, "Mother, is the fourth brother really okay over there?" ”

"It's fine."

Zhao Yao's face was full of suspicion: If the fourth brother is really okay over there, why is the mother's attitude so strange? Is the mother hiding something from him?

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really fine, if you don't believe it, you can go and check."

"Then the concubine, you ......" Even if the concubine didn't worry about him going to Liangzhou, she wouldn't say such a shocking and scary thing. He intuitively felt that the concubine had something to hide from him, and it was not small. "It's not that there's something wrong with the fourth brother, is there something going on in the capital?"

Concubine Liang said: "I don't know if there is an accident in the capital, but I don't allow you to go to Liangzhou." ”

"Mother, do you have something to hide from me?"

Concubine Liang smiled: "Can I still hide something from you?" She said, glancing at the row of sparrows standing on the windowsill.

Zhao Yao thought the same, but he still felt a little abnormal.

"Okay, I just don't worry about you going to Liangzhou, there is nothing else." Concubine Liang stretched out her hand and nodded Zhao Yao's forehead, "The situation in Beijing is not very good now, and what is the attitude of the crown prince and the acting king towards the king of Chu, don't you know?" Do you think I can rest assured that I can let you go to Liangzhou? ”

"I'm not going."

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Concubine Liang was relieved.

"Wait for two years, you will grow up a little more, and then you will go to Liangzhou again."

"Okay, then I'll wait another two years." Although Zhao Yao felt strange in his heart, he didn't talk about it anymore, and changed the topic to talk about the death of the two sisters-in-law of the Yuan family. Then, he talked about the imminent killing of King Chen.

"Mother, does my father know about this?"

Concubine Liang was slightly stunned, then shook her head and said, "I didn't ask." ”

Zhao Yao looked at Concubine Liang and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Looking at her son's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Concubine Liang knew what he wanted to ask.

She smiled softly at Zhao Yao: "Your father and I will only meet at the end of the month, and I rarely meet your father on weekdays." "Obviously living in a palace, but Concubine Liang and the emperor rarely meet and talk." When your father came, I rarely asked him about the court, after all, the harem can't interfere in politics. ”

"Mother, your father and the emperor ......" Zhao Yao didn't say any more, but Concubine Liang understood what he wanted to say, "Your father is very good to me, and I am very satisfied now." ”

Hearing Concubine Liang say this, Zhao Yao didn't say anything more.

"Yaoyao, there is a saying you must know, whether your father is facing me or you, his first identity will always be the emperor, the emperor of the Great Zhou, and the emperor of the people, so in your father's heart, the Jiangshan Sheji and the people are the most important." Concubine Liang's tone was very solemn, "If in your father's heart, the personal feelings of children come first, then your father is sorry for the people of the Great Zhou." ”

Zhao Yao understood what Concubine Liang meant, and nodded lightly.

"Yaoyao, in the future, when you become an adult and go to Lingnan, you have to put the people of Lingnan first, you know?"

Zhao Yao nodded obediently: "Mother, I know." ”

"Your father may not be a good husband or a good father, but he is a good emperor." Concubine Liang's tone was filled with pride and pride, "To be a good emperor, the first thing to give up is the personal relationship of your children." If the emperor cares too much about the personal affairs of his children, then the people will suffer. Your father promised your grandfather to protect and take care of the people of the Great Zhou, so that they would no longer live in misery like the people of the previous dynasty. ”

She said again: "Your father gave up a lot of things in order to be a good emperor, and forced himself to be ruthless. ”

Zhao Yao complained in his heart: So what's so good about being an emperor.

"How your father will treat King Chen is not something you and I can ask."

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Mother, I understand." He mentioned the matter of the sixth brother, not to help the sixth brother, but to know his father's attitude towards the sixth brother's imminent murder by the Southern Wei people.

Concubine Liang saw that Zhao Yao knew what she meant, so she didn't say anything more. Changed the topic and talked about the five princesses.

The fifth princess went back before giving birth and did not stay in the palace to give birth. The princess who marries out can let her go back to the palace to raise the baby for a few months, which is the greatest grace, and it is impossible to let her stay in the palace to give birth.

Before leaving the palace, the fifth princess had a big quarrel with Yu Mei, and the quarrel was very fierce. She also had a tire gas because of this, and almost had an accident.

Some time ago, the fifth princess gave birth to a daughter smoothly. Yu Meiren was worried about her and kept asking Zhao Yao to visit her.

Zhao Yao went there a few times and carefully inquired about the physical condition of the fifth princess. The fifth princess hurt a little bit when she gave birth, and she needs to make up for it, and nothing else.

Concubine Liang and Yu Meiren have been sending tonics and supplements to the five princesses non-stop, and the body of the five princesses has only been raised.

The fifth princess's mother-in-law and husband did not have any dissatisfaction with her giving birth to a daughter, on the contrary, they liked it very much, but the fifth princess herself did not like it.

After she was out of confinement, Zhao Yao went to see her and saw her unhappy, thinking she was postpartum depression.

He knew about postpartum depression from Zhao Yao in his dream. He was worried that the fifth princess was depressed after giving birth, and he was afraid that she would do something that would hurt herself or her child, so he repeatedly told the husband of the fifth princess to take care of her carefully. Unexpectedly, the fifth princess was depressed, not because of postpartum depression, but because the second princess was pregnant again. For this reason, Zhao Yao scolded the fifth princess severely, but the fifth princess not only did not appreciate it, but also scolded him for being nosy, which made him angry.

"Mother, the matter of the fifth sister, let's not worry about it anymore." Zhao Yao said angrily, "If we continue to manage it, the fifth sister will hate us to the core, so let her do it." ”

"Your mother and concubine Yu ......" Concubine Liang sighed softly, "Alas...... I feel sorry for her......"

"Alas......" Zhao Yao really can't do anything about the fifth princess. He persuaded and scolded, but to no avail.

"If you have time, you should go and see Xiao Wu, otherwise your mother and concubine Yu will have trouble sleeping."

"Okay, I'll go see it tomorrow."

After Zhao Yao talked to Concubine Liang for a while, he returned to Xingde Palace.

As soon as he returned, he was called over by the Eighth Prince.

When the eighth prince learned that Zhao Yao wanted to go to Liangzhou, when he saw him, he said, "Tenth brother, you can't go to Liangzhou." ”

Lao Tie, I'm sorry, I'm late to come back today, and it's too late to update the code word, so I'll update it tomorrow.

Emperor: Xiao Shi can't go to see the fourth.

Concubine Liang: I understand.

Zhao Yao: I don't understand.

Do you understand, old irons?

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass!
