The eighth prince was named King of Wei. Because he wanted to stay in the capital to assist His Royal Highness the Prince, he did not give him a fief for the time being.

A month after he was crowned King of Wei, he married Xie Ning, the daughter of the Xie family's side branch, as the princess. On the day of his wedding, Zhao Yao went with him to greet the bride.

Because of the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Zhenguo Mansion, King Wei's wedding was very lively and grand. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that King Wei's wedding could not be lost to the King of Chu, so he deliberately supported King Wei.

After King Wei got married, he continued to work by the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As his ability to do things is getting stronger and stronger, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo also pay more and more attention to him. Now he has become an indispensable confidant by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's side.

Not long after he got married, he was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Shu to visit the soldiers of Zhenshu.

Previously, in the early dynasty, the emperor wanted to send people to visit the soldiers of Zhenshu. So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recommended the King of Wei, and the emperor agreed.

Knowing that the King of Wei was going to Shudi, Zhao Yao of course wanted to follow, but the emperor did not agree.

Before the King of Wei set off for Shu, Zhao Yao deliberately went to the Wei Palace.

Since the King of Wei got married, Zhao Yao rarely went to the Wei Palace, after all, the young couple had just gotten married, and it was when the newlywed Yan'er was married, and his little uncle often went, which disturbed them too much. He's not a man who doesn't have the sight to see.

"Starling, you traveled a long way to Shudi, is it okay?" Zhao Yao was worried that the body of the Eighth Prince would not be able to withstand the hardships of the long journey, "Also, the weather over there in Shu is different from that in the capital, I see that the climate in Shu is hot and humid in the local chronicles, can you adapt to it?" He was also worried that the starling would not be able to adapt to the soil. A few months ago, many of the soldiers who went to Shu could not adapt to the weather in Shu, and there was a situation where they were not adapted. I heard that some soldiers died because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.

"The eldest brother was also afraid that my body would not be able to withstand the long journey, so he specially called the imperial doctor to check my pulse, and the imperial doctor said that my body is very good, and there is no problem in going to Shudi." King Wei stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhao Yao's head, and said with a smile on his face, "My body has improved, thanks to your Ten Perfection Pills." ”

"Since the Imperial Doctor said so, then I am relieved." It seems that the effect of the Ten Perfection Tonic Pill is very good, and it can make the starling go all the way to Shu. "However, starling, you'd better bring some medicine to cure water and soil."

"It's ready." Seeing that Zhao Yao was so worried about him, King Wei's eyes were warm, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

"Starling, this is your first time going far away, of course I'm worried." However, having said that, a few days after the starling got married, the prince's brother asked the starling to go to Shu and let the eighth sister-in-law stay alone in the empty boudoir, isn't it a little good.

King Wei said with a soft face: "I'll be fine." ”

"Starling, if you go to Shudi, do you want to go back to Beijing with General Zhang and them?" There are not a few months left until the end of the year. The fourth brother and General Zhang have recovered most of Shudi, and after a while, it is estimated that they will be able to completely capture Shudi.

"Well, I should come back with General Zhang and them." King Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Starling won't forget to give you delicious food and fun from the Shu area." ”

When Zhao Yao heard this, his eyes instantly became shining, and he said with a happy face: "I knew that Starling loved me." ”

King Wei looked at Zhao Yao, who was full of joy, and teased him: "Shall I bring you a Shu cook?" ”

Zhao Yao listened, nodded again and again, and said in a very excited tone: "Okay, okay, I heard that the food over there in Shu is very delicious, starling, you bring back a cook for me, then I can eat authentic Shu dishes." ”

Wei Wang Fangcai's words were just a joke, but he didn't expect Zhao Yao to take it seriously. He smiled helplessly at first, and then said, "I'm afraid one is not enough, I'll bring a few more back to you." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yao snapped his fingers and said, "One makes Shu dishes, one makes Shu snacks, and the other makes Shu snacks." As he spoke, he raised three fingers towards King Wei, "Starling, you have to bring back at least three cooks for me." ”

King Wei raised his hand and gently tapped Zhao Yao's forehead, and said with a smile: "I don't think three is enough, otherwise I will bring you ten." ”

Zhao Yao grinned and said, "Starling, you brought me back a hundred cooks, and I don't have too much." ”

King Wei was made to laugh and cry by Zhao Yao's "shameless" words: "I can't bring back a hundred cooks." ”

"Actually, it's enough to bring one back." Zhao Yao said, suddenly remembering that there were many insects in Shudi, and reminded King Wei, "Starling, there are many strange and dangerous insects in Shudi, be careful when you go." ”

King Wei nodded his head and said, "I know." ”

Zhao Yao told the King of Wei again, and then left the Wei Palace.

Starling is going to leave for Shu tomorrow, and he won't stay tonight to disturb Starling and sister-in-law.

Walking out of the Wei Palace, Tongxi glanced at Zhao Yao strangely: "Your Highness, didn't you have something to invite His Royal Highness the King of Wei to bring to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, why didn't you tell His Royal Highness the King of Wei?" ”

"I wanted to say it, but I didn't dare to say it." Zhao Yao rode on the horse and said helplessly, "It's not that you don't know that the relationship between the starling and the fourth brother is not good, if I ask the starling to bring a message to the fourth brother, what do you think the starling will think?" ”

Tongxi forgot about this stubble, and when he heard Zhao Yao say, he remembered it.

"The slave forgot that His Royal Highness the King of Wei and His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not deal with each other."

"Brother Prince must have known that the relationship between the starling and the fourth brother was not good, so he deliberately sent the starling to Shudi." Of course, it is very likely that the starling himself took the initiative to ask to go to Shu, because there are many Southern Wei people in Shu.

Starling went out this time, but I am afraid that the main purpose is not to go to Shudi, but for certain things. He always felt that Starling was going out to do something big this time.

"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and His Royal Highness the King of Wei have met, they won't fight, right?"

"No, the fourth brother and the starling brother don't even want to say a word to each other, how can they fight." The fourth brother and the starling brother are really tired of each other, don't talk about it, it's just a look, they don't want to give each other, as if they will be blind if they look at each other.

"Then after His Royal Highness the King of Wei goes to Shudi, will he secretly speak ill of His Royal Highness the King of Chu and give His Royal Highness the King of Chu small shoes to wear?" His Royal Highness the King of Wei went to Shu, not only to visit the soldiers of Zhenshu, but also to monitor His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Who knows." Zhao Yao sighed slightly and said, "I can't ask about the matter between the starling brother and the fourth brother. He didn't dare to mention the fourth brother in front of the starling.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei and His Royal Highness the King of Chu are all good to you, and if something happens to any of them, you will be sad." Tongxi also sighed, "I hope His Royal Highness the King of Wei and His Royal Highness the King of Chu can be well, so that Your Highness, you don't have to be embarrassed." ”

"Hopefully." I hope that after the starling brother goes to Shudi, he will not do anything, so that the fourth brother will not be able to fight with peace of mind.

Zhao Yao went to He Lianfang's house and told He Lianfang about the distress in his heart.

After He Lianfang heard this, she glanced at Zhao Yao, who had a tangled face.

"Your starling is the prince's person, of course he went to Shu for a purpose, and it is impossible not to do anything."

"What will the prince ask the starling brother to do, sabotage the fourth brother's actions and let the fourth brother defeat the battle?" After the fourth brother went to Shudi, he has been winning battles, and he has never lost a battle, which is really powerful, not at all like the first time he went to the battlefield to lead troops to fight. The minister who supported the fourth brother was boasting about the fourth brother's ability to lead troops to fight some time ago, and the fourth brother was talented, both civil and military, most like his father when he was young.

To tell the truth, this is a little embarrassing, because the ministers who support the acting king are blowing the acting king in this way, saying that the acting king is completely his father when he was young, and he is carved out of a mold. Let's not talk about what my father was like when he was young, the second brother and the fourth brother are both the sons of my father, isn't it normal for them to look like my father.

Although he has always felt that his father is a stinky fart, he has to admit that his father was very powerful when he was young. To be honest, whether it is the second brother or the fourth brother, they are not as good as their father when they were young.

"The prince doesn't have the guts." He Lianfang said mockingly, "If the crown prince asks the king of Wei to do something to sabotage the war in Shudi, I'm afraid he, the crown prince, won't want to do it." ”

"Also, the prince's brother should ask the starling brother to secretly collect some rumors about the fourth brother's badness, or make up some non-existent things to frame the fourth brother." Zhao Yao frowned and guessed, "After the fourth brother returns to Beijing, then give the fourth brother a settlement after the autumn." ”

He Lianfang said: "The speculation is good. ”

Zhao Yao suddenly sneered and said, "If the prince's brother hits this idea, then he will miscalculate." With the temperament of the fourth brother, he will never give people the opportunity to find mistakes. "The fourth brother is steady and careful. When he learned that Starling was going to Shudi, he wouldn't be unguarded.

"Then it depends on whether King Wei has the ability to find fault."

Hearing He Lianfang say this, Zhao Yao's heart couldn't help but tighten. He was worried that He Lianfang would ask him about starling, but he didn't expect He Lianfang to ask, which made him feel relieved.

"The prince asked the King of Wei to go to Shudi, and there is another purpose." He Lianfang didn't continue, but raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Yao.

When Zhao Yao heard this, he reacted quickly and said: "Let the starling inquire about the situation in Shu, see if he can pocket Shudi, and then send his people to Shudi." ”

He Lianfang bowed slightly: "Not bad." ”

"Shu is a piece of fat." He had read the local chronicles about Shu before, describing Shu as the land of abundance. Shu is rich in products and is not lost to Liangzhou at all. Not only that, but there are many things in Shu that are not found in other places, such as a lot of iron and copper in Shu. During the years when Shu was occupied by Han Zhong, Han Zhong minted a lot of weapons and coins in Shu. The coins used in Shu are not the literary coins of the Great Zhou, but the coins minted by Han Zhong.

"The country of abundance is naturally not bad." He Lianfang said, "The geographical location of Shu is also very good, and it is difficult to be detected by people to do some things secretly in Shudi." ”

"My father should not reward my royal brothers with Shu as a fief." Zhao Yao speculated, "It's not easy to take back Shu Land, and my father will definitely send someone he can trust to take over Shu Land." ”

"Your father should send someone to assist Han Zhong's eldest son in managing Shudi, and he will also send troops to garrison Shudi." He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao and asked, "Who do you think your father will send to Shu to assist Han Zhong's eldest son, and who will be stationed in Shu?" ”

"I want to think about it." Zhao Yao thought about it seriously and said, "I think that in addition to sending people he can trust, my father will also send officials from the family to Shudi." As for who to send to Shudi, it must be General Zhang's people. ”

With his father's bad temperament, he would never let go of such a good opportunity to let the family eat dog. For the families, Shu is also a piece of fat, and they want to swallow it directly, without giving any family a chance.

After listening to this, He Lianfang reminded Zhao Yao: "You said one less person." ”

"One less person?" Zhao Yao was puzzled at first, and then reacted, "Second uncle, do you mean that the father emperor will arrange for the fourth brother's people to go to Shudi?" ”

"That's right."

When Zhao Yao heard this, his brows tightened, and his face changed greatly: "If that's the case, then the fourth brother ......" Speaking of this, he paused, and then continued in a somewhat heavy tone, "The crown prince and the acting king will really not let go of the fourth brother." ”

"Do you think the crown prince will join forces with the acting king to get rid of the king of Chu?"

"No, the crown prince and the acting king will not join forces." Zhao Yao felt that He Lianfang's words were a little terrifying and scary, "They are mortal enemies, how can they join forces." They will only sit idly by and watch one side deal with the fourth brother, and then take advantage of the other party's inattention to poison the other party and get rid of the fourth brother together. "Getting the crown prince to cooperate with the acting king is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

He Lianfang asked, "What do you think the King of Chu will do?" ”

"Fourth brother...... Zhao Yao pinched his chin, thought for a while and said, "Actually, with the fourth brother's temperament, he is unwilling to fight with the prince and the acting king." Rather than fighting for power and profit, he prefers to do practical things to make the people live a good life. ”

"If you say so, I'm afraid that the King of Chu won't be able to fight the crown prince and the acting king."

"That's not going to happen, although the fourth brother doesn't like to play with power, it doesn't mean that he won't, on the contrary, with the fourth brother's intelligence, he is very good." Zhao Yao was full of confidence in the King of Chu, "The fourth brother really fights with the crown prince and the acting king, and he will never lose." ”

"You have faith in the King of Chu."

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Of course I have confidence in my fourth brother. ”

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao and asked with interest, "What about King Wei?" ”

Zhao Yao, who had just drunk the tea, was so shocked that the tea choked into his throat when he heard He Lianfang's question, and then coughed violently: "Cough cough ......" What he just heard.

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao with some disgust, and then continued to ask, "What do you think of King Chu compared to King Wei?" ”

The second uncle knows about the starling?! How did he know it, and when did he know it?!!!

Wait, he never seemed to have mentioned the starling in front of the second uncle, the second uncle he ...... He, he, he......

He Lianfang saw Zhao Yao's shocked expression on his face, and mocked: "Do you think that if you don't talk about King Wei, I don't know." ”

Zhao Yao's expression froze, and he looked at He Lianfang in a daze.

He Lianfang looked at him and didn't speak.

Zhao Yao came back to his senses and asked with a shocked face, "Second uncle, how did you know?" ”

He Lianfang looked at the surprised Zhao Yao with idiot eyes: "Why do you think I don't know?" ”

Zhao Yao sighed in his heart, he always thought that if he didn't say it, the second uncle would not notice the starling who had no sense of existence. Now it seems that he was naïve.

As soon as he was about to speak, he heard He Lianfang say, "The King of Wei has close contacts with the Southern Wei people, do you think I won't be able to pay attention?" ”

Zhao Yao stiffened, and then smiled curtly: "I really thought that second uncle, you didn't know about the starling, after all, the starling brother was with the prince." ”

He Lianfang felt that she was underestimated by Zhao Yao, and laughed angrily: "Do you think I look like a stupid person? ”

Zhao Yao hurriedly shook his head: "It's not like that." After speaking, he hurriedly said, "I'm a stupid person, I even thought that you didn't know, second uncle." "The second uncle has been investigating the affairs of the Southern Wei people, with the means of the second uncle, how can it be almost the unclear relationship between the starling and the Southern Wei people.

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao coldly and asked, "Come, tell me why you are hiding the matter of King Wei." ”

"This ...... It's a long story. ”

"Let's make a long story short."

Zhao Yao saw He Lianfang's eyes staring at him coldly, if he didn't say it, he wouldn't let him go. He could only tell He Lianfang the reason for concealment.

After He Lianfang heard this, she unceremoniously sarcastically mocked Zhao Yao: "You really defend your starling." ”

Zhao Yao sat down obediently like a child who made a mistake.

"I'm either defending starlings, or I'm ......" he didn't know what to say. These things that starlings did are all my guesses, and there is no evidence, so I can't say. "To be honest, he still has no evidence that starlings did those things.

"Since you don't have evidence, why do you think that King Wei did it?"

"I didn't suspect the starling at first, I thought that the starling was really attached to the prince, and then the prince was assassinated, and the starling was seriously injured in order to save the prince and almost died, which made me suspect the starling." Zhao Yao told He Lianfang about his original suspicions.

"You're on the alert."

"Second uncle, I really don't deliberately hide it from you, you never tell me about starling, how can I mention it to you." Zhao Yao lowered his head and poked his left index finger with his right index finger, "I thought you didn't look down on starling, if I told you about starling, you wouldn't believe it." ”

He Lianfang sneered twice, of course he didn't believe Zhao Yao's words.

Zhao Yao was seen by He Lianfang's sharp eyes, and he smiled at He Lianfang flatteringly: "Second uncle, if you mention starling to me today, won't I just tell you." ”

He Lianfang glared at Zhao Yao and didn't bother to hide anything from him.

"Say, what else have you guessed."

"The people of the Southern Wei unconditionally support the starlings in their struggle for ......the throne," Zhao Yao told He Lianfang about some of the things he had guessed about the King of Wei without any concealment. Of course, it also includes the fact that Uwei is a native of the Southern Wei Dynasty.

After He Lianfang heard this, she was shocked. He didn't expect Zhao Yao to guess everything the Eighth Prince did just through suspicion, and he guessed all of them correctly.

Seeing that He Lianfang looked at him with a strange look, Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, what's wrong, did I guess wrong?" ”

"No, you guessed it all." Although He Lianfang's expression was as usual, she was very shocked in her heart. "Your starling is from the Southern Wei Dynasty."

"What?" Zhao Yao stood up in shock, and said with a shocked expression, "How can Starling be a native of Southern Wei?" ”

"Your starling's biological mother is from the Southern Wei Dynasty."

Zhao Yao looked stunned, and his tone was full of disbelief: "Starling's biological mother is an ordinary palace maid, how can it be a native of the Southern Wei Dynasty?" ”

"She is from the Southern Wei Dynasty, and she was specially sent to the palace in order to climb onto your father's dragon bed, give birth to a dragon son, and then ascend to the throne." He Lianfang said, "Otherwise, why do you think the Southern Wei people unconditionally assisted the King of Wei and did so many things for the King of Wei." ”

Zhao Yao said with a sudden expression: "No wonder, I've been wondering why the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty support starlings so much. He always thought that the Southern Wei people supported the starling, in addition to the intelligence and means of the starling, he also liked that the starling did not have any power support. Now it seems that he thought it too simply.

Wait, the reason why my father doesn't like starlings so much is because myling's biological mother is from the Southern Wei Dynasty?

"Second uncle, does my father know that Starling's biological mother is from the Southern Wei Dynasty?"

"Do you think your father won't know?"

"Sure enough!"

"When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, in addition to the biological mother of the Eighth Prince, there were other Southern Wei people in the palace." He Lianfang continued, "In the years when your father was on the throne, in addition to being busy with national affairs, he was also busy purging the Southern Wei people in the palace. ”

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of another very important thing. He was shocked and asked, "Does my father know about the starling?" ”

Old irons, I'm sorry, I'm not satisfied with the chapter I just wrote, I deleted it all, and I will rewrite it tomorrow, and I won't update it tonight.
