"You know better than I know how much benefit the new salt can bring." He Lianfang put her hand on the brazier to warm up. Although the winter in the swamp mansion is much warmer than the winter in the capital, He Lianfang injured her body in her early years, and she is afraid of the cold in winter, so she must bake a fire to keep warm when the weather is cold.

Zhao Yao naturally knew in his heart the huge benefits brought by the new salt. He frowned slightly and said, "The fourth brother and the starling brother will not fight my idea of new salt." ”

"What about King Dai and King Jing?" He Lianfang reminded Zhao Yao, "They are short of money. ”

Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "They are short of money and have nothing to do with me." Besides, I am not close to them, and even if they have the idea of beating me up for new salt, it is up to me to ignore them. ”

"They can't come to Ming, but they will come to Yin."

"Can they still grab it?" Zhao Yao was not afraid of the acting king and King Jing, "Besides, my father has already sent someone to make new salt in other places, and the new salt made by me next year will become worthless." ”

"You should know their methods in your heart." He Lianfang felt that Zhao Yao couldn't rely on himself in Lingnan, thinking that he would be safe and sound away from the capital. "Even if they can't come up with the idea of new salt, what about glass and mirrors?"

Zhao Yao's eyes were sharp, and his tone was cold: "If they really beat my idea, then don't blame me for being rude." "He's not a soft persimmon, let them handle it.

"When you send the glass and mirrors to the capital, all kinds of calculations will follow." He Lianfang took the tongs and flicked the charcoal fire in the brazier, "You have to be ready." ”

Zhao Yao bowed his head slightly and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, I know it in my heart." "He really didn't worry about the calculations of King Dai and King Jing at all. Even if he is not in the court, but the fourth brother and the starling brother are there. They will stop the conspiracy of the DPRK and China for him.

"You have been coming to the Swamp Mansion for a while, and you have done a lot of things during this time, have you ever thought that what you are doing cannot be hidden from King Wei?"

When Zhao Yao heard He Lianfang say this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a dark expression: "Second uncle, what do you mean?" ”

"Do you think you can hide these things from King Wei in the Swamp Mansion?" He Lianfang said with a faint expression, "There are Southern Wei people in the Swamp Mansion, you won't forget it, right?" ”

Zhao Yao's brows furrowed, "What I'm doing now, even if the people of Southern Wei know about it, even if the starling brother knows, it's nothing." "What he's doing now doesn't involve secrets that can't be known.

"What about the future?" He Lianfang said, "You should know the skills of the Southern Wei people. ”

"Second uncle, do you mean to kill the Southern Wei people sent by Starling?"

"You don't want to kill?" He Lianfang meant to take advantage of the fact that the Southern Wei people didn't know anything at the moment, and quickly get rid of them, so as to save a lot of dreams at night.

Zhao Yao didn't say anything.

"You want your starling to know what you're doing in Lingnan?"

Of course Zhao Yao didn't want to.

"Second uncle, even if I kill all the Southern Wei people in the Swamp Mansion now, will no Southern Wei people come to the Swamp Mansion or go to other state capitals in Lingnan in the future?" The corners of Zhao Yao's mouth raised a wry smile, "Could it be that once they come, I will kill them once?" ”

He Lianfang said expressionlessly: "The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty can't stay. ”

"At present, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty have not done anything unfavorable to the Great Zhou and the people." Zhao Yao sighed lightly and said, "Besides, I don't have the ability to kill all the Southern Wei people now." "Even if he has the ability to kill all the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty, he will definitely alarm the starling at that time, and the starling will still know everything at that time.

"Actually, I already knew that what I did couldn't hide from the fourth brother and the starling brother." Zhao Yao knew in his heart that the things he did could only hide from the fourth brother and the starling for a while. After waiting for a long time, the fourth brother and the starling brother will definitely notice that what he is doing is not simple. "Then again, if the fourth brother and the starling brother can't find out what I did, then the fourth brother and the starling brother are too stupid."

"At the beginning, I asked you to distance yourself from the King of Chu and the King of Wei, but you didn't listen." He Lianfang had long warned Zhao Yao to keep him away from the kings of Chu and Wei. "You've been pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of them, and when they realize that you've been cheating on them, what do you think they'll think?"

Zhao Yao defended himself stiffly: "I didn't deceive them, and I didn't pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of them, I just didn't tell them something." ”

He said again: "Besides, the fourth brother and the starling brother also have a lot of things to hide from me, so let's count it as half a catty and eight taels." ”

After listening to Zhao Yao's quibble, He Lianfang said sarcastically unceremoniously: "What's the use of you telling me what you say." ”

"Even if the fourth brother and the starling brother quickly find out what I did, they shouldn't turn against me." Zhao Yao didn't have the confidence to say this, "I don't compete with them for the throne." ”

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao, who was deceiving herself, with a smile: "Do you think your good fourth brother and starling brother will think like you?" ”

"Second uncle, I believe that the fourth brother and the starling brother will not doubt my intentions." Zhao Yao's expression suddenly became very serious, "I believe in the friendship between our brothers. ”

"Friendship?" He Lianfang was amused by Zhao Yao's words, he sneered, "The friendship between your brothers is full of deception, do you think your brotherly love is stronger than Jin?" ”

Zhao Yao was speechless when asked by He Lianfang.

"If you really believe in the kings of Chu and Wei, you won't be deceiving them all the time." He Lianfang sharply tore apart Zhao Yao's self-deception, "You should have told the King of Chu and the King of Wei about all the things you have done over the years. As he spoke, his tone became aggressive, "But, would you like to?" Do you dare? ”

Faced with He Lianfang's aggressive questioning, Zhao Yao couldn't say half a word.

"Zhao Yao, you said that you did so many things for self-preservation, how many people do you think will believe it?" He Lianfang continued to ask, "King Chu and King Wei, will they really believe that you have no intention of taking the heir?" You hide that they've done so much, even more than they do, do you really think they'll believe you? ”

Zhao Yao continued to be silent.

"Everything you have done over the years has been done for the sake of winning the heir in anyone's eyes." Of course, He Lianfang knew that Zhao Yao had no intention of winning the heir, and the reason why he was so persistent was actually for another purpose. "When the King of Chu and the King of Wei find out what you have done, they will only think that you are pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and that you are unfathomable."

Zhao Yao looked at He Lianfang silently. After a while, a wry smile appeared on his face: "Second uncle, what do you want to say after you say so much?" ”

He Lianfang put away Fang Cai's sharpness, and asked rhetorically as usual, "What do you think?" ”

"Second uncle, you know that I don't have the heart to win the heir, and I don't want to be the emperor. The reason why I've done so much over the years is to be able to live freely. "If he wants to live freely, he has to plan everything for himself, so that no one can help him.

"I know what's the use." He Lianfang poured cold water and said, "Your imperial brothers won't believe you. ”

"Even if the fourth brother and the starling don't believe me in the future, think that I am a scheming person, and turn against me, then I will admit it." Zhao Yao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I believe that I will see people's hearts for a long time, and when the fourth brother and starling brother wait until the future, they will believe that I really don't have the heart to win the heir, and they will not pose a threat to them." ”

"Zhao Yao, if it's you, you know that your younger brother who has always cared for him is not only not stupid, but far-sighted. He went to Lingnan to cultivate his own power, and then his power grew stronger and stronger, would you feel at ease? He Lianfang's tone became sharp again, "Will you always believe that he has no intention of rebellion?" ”

"I ......"

"On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to sleep soundly." He Lianfang said in a cold tone, "Even if your good fourth brother and starling brother have a big heart and believe in you, will their son trust you?" Will the ministers of the court believe you? ”

"Second uncle, before I was in the Swamp Mansion, you told me about this matter, and successfully persuaded me to agree to secretly raise 100,000 private soldiers." Zhao Yao stared at He Lianfang suspiciously and puzzledly, "Second uncle, you are now rehashing the old words, what do you want me to do, do you want me to raise another 100,000 private soldiers?" ”

"Zhao Yao, the purpose of what I just said to you is to remind you that if you don't want to take the heir, it doesn't mean that you won't get involved in the succession. It's true that you're not involved now, but you'll be forced to get involved in the future. He Lianfang said again, "Sometimes, you will even be forced to take the heir, because if you don't fight, you will die." ”

When Zhao Yao heard this, his heart sank suddenly, and his face instantly became cold.

"Zhao Zheng loves you, but can he protect your mother and son for the rest of your life?" Now that he has come to Lingnan, He Lianfang does not plan to turn a blind eye to what he did in the capital before, he has to add to the fire. "Zhao Zheng will be old and sick, what will happen to Concubine Liang in the palace at that time?"

Zhao Yao's face was as gloomy as water when He Lianfang said this.

"I'm telling you this, not to let you go to win the heir, but to let you always be ready to take the heir." He Lianfang said in a slow tone, "When you are forced to take the heir, you will not be helpless." ”

After Zhao Yao heard this, his expression became strange: "Second uncle, didn't you just say that what I have done over the years looks like I am winning the heir, so what else do I have to prepare." ”

"I mean your heart." He Lianfang pointed at Zhao Yao's heart with tongs, "Your heart is not ready to take the heir at any time." ”

"I didn't plan to fight for that seat, and my heart certainly wasn't ready."

"Then you can prepare now."

Zhao Yao: "Second uncle, I don't think it will come to this point. ”

He Lianfang laughed angrily at Zhao Yao's words: "Zhao Yao, are you deliberately pretending to be naïve with me, or do you want to keep deceiving yourself?" ”

Zhao Yao's face became stiff, and he smiled awkwardly: "Second uncle, your words tonight are particularly sharp." ”

"If I don't wake you up again, you won't have a good life until next year." He Lianfang gently knocked Zhao Yao's head with the tongs, "Don't cover your ears and steal the bell anymore." ”

Zhao Yao said helplessly: "Second uncle, you are really my good second uncle." ”

"Being in the royal family, there are a lot of people who can't help it, and there are also a lot of people who have to do it." He Lianfang's tone became gentle, "You should know it in your heart. ”

"Alas......" Zhao Yao let out a long sigh, his face full of melancholy. It is because he knows everything in his heart that he will always deceive himself.

"In the future, I will wake you up from time to time." Now that he has come to Lingnan, the matter of winning the heir should be put on the agenda, and he can't let Xiao Shi, a kid, wander around.

Zhao Yao: I really don't want to take the heir, let alone be the emperor, why doesn't anyone believe me?

He Lianfang: Ghost letter.
