Chapter 109: The Three Princes Enter Beijing
When Zhao Kun heard that there was nothing abnormal in Jiangnan Province, he laughed out loud: "It seems that these outlaws are quite capable of doing things." ”
A white-clothed scribe sitting next to him said with a smile: "This is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was far-sighted and transferred these outlaws early, otherwise it would really take a lot of effort to deal with the Cui family." ”
Zhao Kun sneered: "The Cui family is the phoenix with the hair, this prince and Cui million have said it several times, but this guy doesn't get in the oil and salt, then it's no wonder to me." ”
The white-clothed scribe is Song Kui, the thinker next to Zhao Kun, don't look at the name is a little reckless, the person looks polite.
"His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the dynasty, and the day he will ascend to the throne in the future, he will naturally have the endless glory and wealth enjoyed by his Cui family, such a simple truth is known to fools, can't this Cui million think?"
"I don't think it's that I can't think of it, it's that he's still fantasizing." Zhao Kun snorted: "Do you think that you can break your wrist with His Highness by colluding with Zhao Hong?" ”
"Hmph, what this prince can't get, no one can think of it, even if I destroy it, I won't let anyone else get involved!"
Looking at Zhao Kun's hideous face, Song Kui couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly stood up: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, for people like the Cui family, how to treat them a long time ago." ”
Zhao Kun glanced at Song Kui with satisfaction: "Your Song family is loyal to this prince, and this prince knows this matter in his heart. ”
Song Kui hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please be clear, our Song family has no second thoughts about His Highness." Wherever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince points out, our Song family will fight, and everything is based on the needs of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Zhao Kun nodded with satisfaction: "Where is Zhao Hong now?" ”
"It should have been back."
Zhao Kun's eyes narrowed: "Should it?" ”
Song Kui's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Weichen is guilty!" ”
"Inquire about Zhao Hong's whereabouts clearly, and then let that group of outlaws hurry back to the East China Sea!"
"Don't worry, the prince, I'll do it."
......
Outside the imperial city, Zhao Hong, the third prince in civilian clothes, raised his eyes to look at the city gate, and made a few gestures to the people around him, who scattered and walked towards the imperial city with the flow of people.
Zhao Hong turned around and walked to a corner of the city wall, and after a while, a carriage drove over: "Get in the car." ”
Zhao Hong got into the carriage, and the carriage walked towards the other gate of the imperial city.
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city were just about to come forward to check, but they were directly stopped by the commander beside him: "Things that don't have long eyes, I didn't see whose carriage belonged to, and I didn't let it go!" ”
The coachman in the carriage casually threw over a piece of gold: "Drink tea for the brothers, remember a little, be strict with your mouth." ”
A few of the soldiers immediately smiled hippie.
The carriage drove smoothly into the city, and Zhao Hong in the carriage said with a smile: "It's also about making money, why do you have to go through this Xihua Gate?" ”
Sitting in front of Zhao Hong was a woman in a goose-yellow palace dress, with exquisite appearance and noble status, and her gestures had a strong charm.
"The general guarding the city of Xihua Gate is my brother, and Donghua Gate is the prince's person, do you dare to enter from there?"
Zhao Hong smiled: "What don't you dare, can't I go back to my own home?" ”
"The prince's people are now all over the city to inquire about your news, if you enter through the Donghua Gate, then the prince will know your news as soon as possible."
Zhao Hong sighed: "Lime, does my father know about the matter of Qiantang County?" ”
Lime shook his head: "Your Majesty has been in retreat during this time, and everything in the outside world has been handed over to the prime minister and the crown prince. ”
"The prince only took advantage of His Majesty's retreat to make a move on the Qiantang Cui family, and when His Majesty came out of the customs, everything became a fact."
Lime frowned: "Although the crown prince is in charge of the country, many major affairs in the court are managed by the prime minister, can the prime minister let the prince do nothing?" ”
Zhao Hong's face sank: "What if this matter is done by the prime minister and the crown prince?" ”
Lime said suspiciously: "Aren't the crown prince and the prime minister not dealing with each other?" ”
"That's because there were no common interests before, and once the two sides reached an interest, the enemy became an ally."
"The Cui family's destruction is a conspiracy between the prime minister and the prince to deal with me together."
Lime looked at Zhao Hong, who had a solemn face: "Since you know this, then you dare to come back to the capital?" I think I should send you out now. ”
Zhao Hong smiled: "Why do you want to leave, the Cui family has been wiped out, in their eyes, I am just an eagle without wings, what can I do if I toss again." ”
"But you still have military power in your hands, aren't you afraid that they will move your military power?"
Zhao Hong looked at the lime with a concerned face, and said, "Military power has always been something that the prince wants to fight for, but it is not something that he can touch now." ”
"After all, the prime minister won't let him grasp the military power so easily."
Lime nodded: "I understand, the relationship between the prime minister and the crown prince is just a relationship of mutual use. ”
"The prime minister wants to use the prince to weaken your ability, and the prince also needs to use the power of the prime minister to do some unruly things, and of course, the two of them are currently in a cooperative relationship, and the target is me."
Lime looked worried.
Zhao Hong lay on the side and said with a smile: "Don't worry, things haven't reached the point of tearing your face yet." ”
"The prince has already sent someone to destroy the Cui family, and you still say that it's not time to tear your face?"
"Don't you really like that woman named Cui Yingluo? Isn't this the right opportunity? ”
Zhao Hong shook his head: "I used to like her, but now that she is married, as for her husband, it is estimated that I should not provoke her." ”
"And the most important point is that the Cui family has no value to me now, without the wealth of the Cui family, I can't sit still, I need to develop other families."
Lime wanted to speak and stopped, she really wanted to ask what was the matter between Zhao Hong and Cui Yingluo, what was the reason for her hard work to go to Qiantang County to plan for so long?
Zhao Hong looked at the lime, pondered for a moment, and said, "I want to see the queen." ”
"You want to see the queen mother?" Lime shook her head and said, "No, as soon as you appear now, you will be immediately monitored by the crown prince and the prime minister's people, so what's the use of you even if you see it?" ”
"Besides, you don't know what the queen is doing to you, in my opinion, the prince is much more favored than your own son."
Zhao Hong smiled wryly: "After all, it's my mother's, you can't provoke our relationship so blatantly." ”
Lime said: "I'm telling the truth, besides, you know better than me what the queen thinks in her heart." ”
When the carriage arrived at a courtyard, Lime was the first to get out of the carriage: "Come down." ”
This is?
Zhao Hong looked at the courtyard in front of him and was shocked: "This is not the imperial grandmother's courtyard?" ”
Lime nodded: "Well, the old ancestor wants to see you." ”
"Want to see me?"
For this mysterious grandmother, Zhao Hong also met when he was a child, and now twenty years have passed, Zhao Hong has always thought that the imperial grandmother had passed away when he was young, who knew that he was still alive, and he also wanted to see him by name.
Looking at Zhao Hong's puzzled expression, Lime said, "Do you think the imperial grandmother doesn't know anything?" ”
Zhao Hong was stunned: "What does the imperial grandmother know?"
Lime said: "Everything in the imperial city and even in the world, the imperial grandmother knows. ”
Zhao Hong was suddenly dumbfounded, for this imperial grandmother who has more legends than reality, all he knows is that he once hugged himself when he was a child.
But if he was still alive, wouldn't he be more than 200 years old?
Can there be more than 200 years old in the world?
Zhao Hong walked into the courtyard under the leadership of Lime, the small courtyard was quiet, not far away there were a few maids sorting out the flowers, plants, and some were pruning branches, and the courtyard was full of lively scenery.
But none of them were men.
Could it be that the imperial grandmother doesn't like men? Or are the eunuchs already resting?
