In the past few days, Zhao Yao has been a little worried. It's the birthday of the Eighth Prince soon, if it's just an ordinary birthday, Zhao Yao doesn't have to worry about giving any gifts. But this year's birthday is the coming-of-age ceremony of the Eighth Prince, so it's not good to give an ordinary birthday gift like in the past. Back then, during the coming-of-age ceremony of the four princes, Zhao Yao made a quyuan plough and gave it to him.

Zhao Yao originally planned to make something similar to Quyuan plough and give it to the Eighth Prince, but the Eighth Prince did not have a fief, and it would not be useful to make this kind of thing for the Eighth Prince. Also, if he really made something similar to a qu yuan plough and gave it to the starling, it is estimated that the starling would immediately dedicate it to the prince, and then help the prince earn a wave of fame.

In fact, Zhao Yao had already thought about what gift to give to the Eighth Prince a year ago. At that time, he thought that after the eighth prince became an adult, he would be "assigned" by the emperor to a desolate place. He thought of several places for the Eighth Prince, such as the northern border, or remote places such as southern Xinjiang.

If the fief of the Eighth Emperor is in these places, then he will make a waterwheel and give it to the Eighth Prince, so as to solve the problem of irrigation of the Eighth Prince's fief. However, now that the Eighth Prince has no fiefdom, he doesn't have to go to the places he envisioned. Then the waterwheel he had thought of before would not be delivered.

Zhao Yao has been thinking about what the Eighth Prince needs, but after thinking about it, he feels that the Eighth Prince does not lack anything.

"Tongxi, what do you say starlings lack?"

"What is missing from His Royal Highness Eight?" Tongxi was stunned by Zhao Yao's question, and he asked with a blank face, "Your Highness, why are you asking this?" ”

"It's the starling's birthday soon, and I'm thinking about what gift to give the starling." Zhao Yao frowned, his expression was very entangled, "It's better for you to help me think about what gift to give." ”

"Yes, it's the birthday of His Royal Highness soon." Tongxi pinched his chin and seriously helped Zhao Yao think about what gift to give.

"What do you think starlings need most?"

"Your Highness, do you still need to think about it, Your Highness the Eighth must need ...... the most" Tongxi raised his index finger and pointed to the sky.

When Zhao Yao saw Tongxi's action, he instantly understood what he meant, and then the expression on his face froze.

"This gift...... I can't deliver it. ”

"Your Highness, it seems that His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness needs this thing the most, and the other things, His Royal Highness should have them." Tongxi thought for a while and suggested Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, why don't you send something to His Royal Highness at will." As long as it's something you send, His Royal Highness will definitely like it. ”

Zhao Yao glared at Tongxi fiercely and said, "This year's birthday is a coming-of-age ceremony for starlings, can I give something casually?" Besides, when the fourth brother had a coming-of-age ceremony, I made a qu yuan plow and gave it to the fourth brother. Now it's the starling's turn, I can't favor one over the other, otherwise the starling will be angry and jealous. In his heart, the fourth brother is as important as the starling brother, and there is no higher or lower. If the birthday gift he gave to the starling was not as good as the fourth brother, then he would be so sorry for the starling.

"Yes, the plough you made is a great gift." Tongxi said, "Then you can make something similar to Quyuan Plough and give it to His Eighth Highness, isn't it okay?" ”

"It's easy to say." Zhao Yao said angrily, "Starling doesn't have a fief, and it's useless for me to give him something like a Quyuan plow." Starling may also give it to the prince's brother. ”

Tongxi felt that what Zhao Yao said was very right. He racked his brain for a while, but he didn't come up with anything good.

"Your Highness, the slave maid can't think of it, you better think about it yourself."

Zhao Yao listened, gave Tongxi a very disgusted look, and immediately waved his hand to Tongxi like a fly.

", don't disturb me thinking."

Tongxi rolled slowly.

Zhao Yao propped his face, wrinkled his nose, and meditated.

Things that are too practical, such as waterwheels, cannot be given to starlings for the time being. When the starling has a fief in the future, he will make it and give it to the starling. When the starling has a fief, maybe the starling will sit on the throne at that time, and then the whole world will be the starling's, and he will make the waterwheel and give it to the starling at that time. Or maybe starlings will not have a fief in this life.

If you can't do practical things, you can only send things that are not very practical.

There are too many things that are not very practical, so I can't give starlings a bells and whistles.

Zhao Yao scratched his head worriedly. In the past few days, he was so worried that he was about to scratch his head bald.

Why don't you make a fun thing for the starling and make the starling happy?

Belch...... This is far worse than the fourth brother's curved plow.

You can't favor one over the other.

He'll have to think about it.

After thinking about it for a long time and not coming up with a good idea, Zhao Yao decided to give up thinking tonight. Wait until tomorrow when you leave the palace to find the second uncle and see if there are any good things there are in the second uncle. If the second uncle doesn't have any good treasures, he will make it himself.

Zhao Yao called Tongxi in and waited for him to bathe.

Tongxi asked him if he had thought of what to give, and he gave Tongxi a big white eye.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yao left the palace and went to find Liang Run.

After listening to Zhao Yao's words, Liang Run immediately thought of a good thing.

"There really is, I received it from southern Xinjiang."

When Zhao Yao heard this, a pair of eyes instantly lit up, and a look of expectation appeared on his delicate little face.

"What's that?"

"You wait." Liang Run went to the warehouse, and when he came back, he held a brocade box in his hand, a small brocade box.

Zhao Yao stared straight at the brocade box in Liang Run's hand with a pair of eyes, and asked expectantly, "Second uncle, what is it?" ”

Liang Run opened the brocade box, and what it contained was not a jade pendant, nor a jade bead, nor a rare treasure, but a pill.

A thumb-sized black pill!

Zhao Yao's eyes widened, and he looked at Liang Run in disbelief. He pointed to the pills in the brocade box and asked in disbelief, "Second uncle, is this what you said to be a good thing?" ”

Liang Run smiled mysteriously: "Yaoyao, don't underestimate it, it's really a good thing, and it's a good thing refined by Miao Jiang." ”

"Miao Jiang?" As soon as Zhao Yao heard the word "Miao Jiang", all kinds of treacherous and dangerous things appeared in his mind. "Second uncle, this can't be a Gu pill, right?"

Seeing that Zhao Yao was crooked, Liang Run smiled helplessly: "No, there are no Gu pills in this world." ”

"Miao Jiang has it, they are the best at cultivating Gu." Zhao Yao has never been to Miaojiang, but he has read a lot of stories about "Gu" in the script and local chronicles.

"I remember you said your starling's body is weak, right?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Yes, the starling has not been in good health since he was a child. ”

"This is a tonic, which is refined from the unique medicinal materials of Miaojiang, and it is said that it is more tonic than ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum." Liang Run carefully picked up the pill and handed it to Zhao Yao's nose, "You ask, there is a refreshing fragrance." ”

Zhao Yao sniffed it, it was really. This fragrance has the scent of medicine and the scent of flowers.

"Second uncle, where did you get this medicine, is it reliable?"

"I got it from a doctor on Miaojiang's side, don't worry, it's absolutely reliable." Liang Run knew what Zhao Yao was worried about, and said to him with a smile, "This medicine is really a tonic, and it can't kill people." ”

"Second uncle, you just said that it is better than ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum?"

"That's right."

"It's useless for that starling to eat it, he can't make up for it, otherwise he would have eaten ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to replenish his body." Starling's stomach is really very fragile. It's not okay to eat things that are too good, and it's not okay to eat things that aren't flattering.

"Don't worry, if you take this medicine, it won't be useless." Next, Liang Run explained to Zhao Yao in detail what medicinal materials were in the pills in this lesson. The medicinal materials he said are all unique to Miaojiang, and there is no one in the Central Plains. Every time he talks about a medicinal material, he will explain what the medicinal material does.

Zhao Yao didn't know much about medicinal materials, and after he listened to it, he only felt that this pill was powerful.

"Is it so powerful?"

"It's so powerful, this is the medicine made from the ancestral prescription of the Miao doctor's family, you can rest assured and boldly take it to the Eighth Prince."

"Okay, I'll give it to Starling." Maybe this medicine can really make Starling's body better.

"By the way, this medicine has another effect." Liang Run hurriedly added, "This medicine can also detoxify. ”

"Detoxification?" Zhao Yao was stunned, "Can any poison be cured?" ”

"It's not that all poisons can be cured, but they can alleviate the toxicity." Liang Run explained, "Of course, poisons that are not very toxic can be solved, like poisons that are highly toxic, they can only be relieved and let the toxicity break out slowly." ”

"That means that if I get caught in the crane top red, I won't die immediately, and it will take a while before I die, right?"

Liang Run frowned when he saw Zhao Yao taking himself as an example, and quickly spit out a few mouthfuls: "Bah, bah!" Childlike words! He hurriedly said to Zhao Yao, "Yaoyao, you spit out a few mouthfuls." ”

Although Zhao Yao felt that it was unnecessary, he still obediently did it.

"Bah, baba, childish words."

"Don't say these unlucky things in the future."

"Second uncle, I'm just giving an example, do you think what I just said is right?"

"Yes, and if it is a chronic poison, it can also alleviate the delay in the outbreak of the poison." Liang Run closed the brocade box, and then pushed the brocade box in front of Zhao Yao, "It's right that you gave this medicine to the Eighth Prince." ”

"This medicine is so amazing." Zhao Yao picked up the brocade box and put it in his arms, looked at Liang Run and asked, "Second uncle, is there any medicine left?" ”

"I only have this one." Liang Run guessed Zhao Yao's careful thoughts, and said with a smile, "It's useless for people with good bodies to take this medicine." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yao thought that this medicine was so magical, so he and his mother would also take one.

"This medicine is useful for people who are not in good health." Liang Run said, "You often tell me that your starling is not in good health, so I asked Doctor Miao for this medicine." ”

"That's why." Zhao Yao said gratefully, "Second uncle, thank you." "On the birthday of the starling, he will give this medicine.

"What are you polite to me?" As soon as Liang Rungang finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and his face became a little strange, "You give the Eighth Prince this medicine, will the Eighth Prince take it, after all, the origin of this medicine is unknown to him?" ”

"I'll watch the starlings eat it." With the starling's temperament, maybe he really won't take this medicine of unknown origin, but if he stares at the starling and eats, the starling will have to eat it if he doesn't eat it.

"This medicine is really a tonic, I hope the Eighth Prince will not misunderstand your mind." Liang Run was afraid of Zhao Yao's kindness, and was questioned by the Eighth Prince, and then broke Zhao Yao's heart.

"It's okay, even if the starling doesn't mind believing me, it doesn't matter." Zhao Yao didn't care about this, "As long as the starling's body gets better." Besides, I have a clear conscience. ”

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Liang Run couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately smiled dotingly: "Yes, you have a clear conscience." "Yaoyao, this child, as long as he is good to him, he will be twice as good to you, and he will be unconditionally good to you. I hope that the Eighth Prince will not break Zhao Yao's heart. "By the way, you have to send this medicine in advance, not on your birthday."

Zhao Yao asked with a puzzled face, "Why is this?" ”

"It's unlucky to send medicine on your birthday, so you have to send it in advance."

"Ah, is there anything else?" It was the first time Zhao Yao had heard such words.

"Sending medicine on your birthday is equivalent to sending you sick, understand?" Liang Run suggested to Zhao Yao, "You'd better give the medicine to the Eighth Prince in these two days." ”

Although Zhao Yao didn't believe in this very much, but the second uncle said so, for the sake of starling, he should send it in advance.

"I'll give it to Starling today." Starlings eat a day earlier, and their bodies will be better sooner.

Liang Run didn't say anything about it anymore, and talked to Zhao Yao about Lingnan.

Zhao Yao listened very carefully. After listening, I made a few suggestions to Liang Run.

After having lunch with Liang Run, Zhao Yao went to find He Lianfang.

When He Lianfang saw that he had arrived, she handed him the military report that had been sent back from Shudi.

After reading the military report, Zhao Yao's face was full of joy and pride: "The fourth brother is really powerful, and he won the battle again." "Since the fourth brother went to Shudi, he has been winning battles, and he has won every battle very beautifully. Not only that, but he personally led every battle, and did not ask Zhang Gong for help.

Since the king of Chu won the first battle, Zhang Gong fought separately from him. Zhang Gong has also been winning battles.

"According to the current situation, the fourth brother will soon be able to recover Shudi." At present, the fourth brother and General Zhang have recovered half of Shu. At their current speed, it won't take half a year to completely recover Shudi.

"If nothing else, your fourth brother will return to the court at the end of the year." He Lianfang said with a deep meaning, "After your fourth brother returns to the capital from Shudi, it will be difficult for him to return to Liangzhou. ”

"I guessed it too." After the fourth brother recovered Shudi, it was impossible not to return to Beijing to report to his father. As long as the fourth brother returns to Beijing this time, it will be difficult for him to leave. "It is estimated that my father will not let the fourth brother return to Liangzhou." When the fourth brother came back from Shudi, a three-legged situation was completely formed in the court. In order for the fourth brother to succeed to the throne smoothly, the father must hone the fourth brother. Leave the fourth brother in the capital and let him fight with the prince and the acting king. If the fourth brother can't fight the crown prince and the acting king, then he is not qualified to inherit the throne.

"When the fourth brother comes back, the capital will be really uneasy." Now there is an undercurrent surging, but it has not yet been revealed on the surface. When the fourth brother comes back, this illusion of calm and calm will be completely broken, and there will be stormy waves at that time. "However, I really didn't expect that there were so many Southern Wei people in Shudi."

The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty can really hide, they have been hiding in Shu for decades. Moreover, the power of the Southern Wei people in Shu is not small. Many of them were wealthy merchants in Shu, and some were officials and soldiers in Shu. Although they have not reached the level of single-handedly conquering the sky in Shudi, they can definitely affect the situation in Shudi.

He Lianfang frowned slightly and said, "I also underestimated the skills of the Southern Wei people. ”

Zhao Yao sighed: "No wonder the previous dynasty wanted to destroy the entire Southern Wei clan. He now suspects that even if there is no loss of the jade seal of the country, the previous dynasty will find an excuse to destroy the Southern Wei Dynasty.

"With the methods of the Southern Wei Dynasty, maybe there are also their people in the capital family, and they are deeply hidden."

Second uncle, you guessed it. There is indeed one of them in the capital, and that is the starling. Starlings are really well hidden.

"If you don't get rid of the Southern Wei Dynasty, your Zhao family's country may be pried away by them."

Listening to He Lianfang's cool words, Zhao Yao thought of the relationship between the Eighth Prince and the Southern Wei Dynasty, and couldn't help but worry in his heart. If it is the starling brother who takes the throne in the end, maybe the country of their old Zhao family will really change their name and surname.

"Father will not let the Southern Wei people mess around." The father should have known about the existence of the Southern Wei people. However, I shouldn't know the relationship between the starling and the Southern Wei people, after all, the second uncle doesn't know about the starling.

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao meaninglessly, and suddenly asked, "If you are the last to take the throne, how do you deal with the Southern Wei people?" ”

"How could I possibly be on top."

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao and said, "I mean if." ”

"Well, that's a real problem." Although it was an if, Zhao Yao still thought about it seriously, "If they obediently serve Da Zhou and have no other thoughts, then I will reuse them and let them use their wisdom." If they have a different mind, then ......" At this point, he paused and said no more.

He Lianfang asked, "So what?" ”

Zhao Yao said in a calm tone: "Then kill them, like the previous dynasty." ”

His answer surprised He Lianfang very much. He Lianfang thought that Zhao Yao couldn't bear to destroy the entire Southern Wei clan.

"Are you really going to destroy the entire Southern Wei clan?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Yes!" Although it was too cruel to the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty, it was not cruel to the people of the entire Great Zhou. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have finally lived a stable and good life, and I feel that no one will be allowed to destroy the stability of the Great Zhou, causing the people to be ruined and their wives to be separated. ”

He also said: "It is worth sacrificing a few people in the Southern Wei Dynasty in exchange for the stability of thousands of people in the Great Zhou!" ”

He Lianfang was slightly stunned, and then smiled with satisfaction and relief: "That's a good point!" "This kid is really good material to be an emperor.

Zhao Yao was a little embarrassed to be praised: "I'm just talking about it casually." ”

He Lianfang told Zhao Yao about the situation of the Southern Wei people in Shu again, and the more Zhao Yao listened, the more frightened he became.

Zhao Yao did not stay to have dinner with He Lianfang, but went to the mansion of the Eighth Emperor and had dinner with the Eighth Prince.

After dinner, Zhao Yao gave the medicine that Liang Run gave him to the eighth prince. He introduced the ingredients and effects of this pill to the Eighth Prince in detail.

He also repeatedly assured the Eighth Prince that this medicine was really useful and not a deceptive medicine.

After hearing this, the eighth prince asked Yu Hai to pour him a glass of warm water.

Yu Hai saw that the Eighth Prince was going to take the medicine sent by Zhao Yao, and he was a little anxious, and hurriedly reminded the Eighth Prince: "Your Royal Highness ......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he received the cold eyes of the Eighth Prince, which frightened him and immediately shut his mouth. He didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly poured a glass of warm water.

The Eighth Prince took the warm water brought by Yu Hai and drank the pill sent by Zhao Yao without hesitation.

Zhao Yao looked shocked. He originally thought that the Eighth Prince would question it and would not take this medicine immediately, but he didn't expect the Eighth Prince to take it without any hesitation.

"Starling, aren't you afraid that I'm sending poison?"

The Eighth Prince smiled: "You won't." "Everyone in this world will harm him, but the tenth brother will not.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince trusted him so much, Zhao Yao only felt that his heart was hot. Although he told his second uncle before that he had a clear conscience, if the starling really suspected that the medicine he sent was not good, he would feel uncomfortable. However, he won't blame the starling.

"Starling, I promise you, this medicine really works for you. After a while, you will feel that your body is slowly getting better. ”

The Eighth Prince smiled gently: "I believe in you." "The only person in this world who can make the Eighth Prince believe unconditionally is Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao: Starling ┭┮_┭┮

Eighth Prince: The tenth brother won't harm me!

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