The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 167 The Emperor's Father-in-Law

Nine years have passed since Liang Zhaoyi left home for the draft.

In nine years, Liang Shuren and the others never saw Liang Zhaoyi's daughter.Although they have been in touch in the past few years and their daughter told them in the letter that they are doing well, they are still worried.

When their daughter was at home, they loved her in every possible way, and they were reluctant to let her eat a little and suffer a little grievance.Since their daughter's success in the draft, they are not only unhappy, but worried.

The harem is a dangerous place where people can eat people without spit out their bones.How many daughters disappeared shortly after entering the palace. At that time, they were worried all day long, worrying that their daughters would be bullied and killed when they entered the palace.

Later, when they heard that their daughter had given birth to a dragon son for the emperor, they were even more worried.Their Liang family did not have any power in the capital, and their daughter gave birth to His Highness, so they might arouse the jealousy or resentment of some high-ranking empresses, and both their daughter and His Highness would be in danger.

They were worried day and night, fearing that one day they would receive news that something had happened to their daughter and His Highness.However, they have not waited for the bad news in the past few years, which made them feel a little relieved.

After the younger son went to the capital, he finally got in touch with his daughter.Knowing that their daughter was doing well in the palace, they felt more at ease.However, they were afraid that their daughter would deliberately say that she was doing well in the palace in order not to worry them.

They were very happy to receive letters from His Royal Highness in the past two years.In his letters, His Highness often told them that their mother and son lived well in the palace, and told them not to worry about them.However, the youngest son told them in the letter that his daughter and His Royal Highness were not favored very much, and they lived very cautiously in the palace.

When they think of their daughter who has been petted since childhood and is always careful and inferior to others in the palace, they feel like a knife is piercing their hearts.

His official position is too low, and he is not qualified to enter Beijing, let alone enter the palace to visit his daughter.

Liang Shuren also hesitated for a long time before deciding to ask Taishi Liu and the others.

Hearing Liang Shuren's question, Taishi Liu was not surprised at all.

"Mistress Zhaoyi and His Royal Highness are fine."

"Really?" Liang Shuren realized that what he said was wrong just after he finished speaking, and when he was about to change his words, he heard Grand Master Liu say, "Really."

Song Dekang on the side said: "His Highness the Tenth Highness is very smart. He made a stirrup a while ago, and the emperor rewarded him with many things."

"His Highness the Tenth Prince..." Liang Shuren received a portrait sent to him by Zhao Yao some time ago. His Highness the Tenth Prince in the portrait looks very beautiful and cute, much like a daughter.

"His tenth highness is very smart and cute, and the emperor dotes on him very much."

The emperor dotes on His Highness the Tenth?
Liang Shuren was puzzled, His Highness wrote a letter saying that neither he nor Empress Zhaoyi was favored very much, why did Taishi Liu say that the emperor loved His Highness very much?Master Liu was trying to comfort him.

Next, Master Liu told Liang Shuren what Zhao Yao had done.

When Liang Shuren heard that Zhao Yao had stolen He Xiang's orchids, he was stunned.

Song Dekang on the side slapped his thigh straight after hearing this, and said with a smile that His Royal Highness did a good job.

Liang Shuren did not expect His Royal Highness to be so... naughty and cute.

After listening to Taishi Liu and the others talking about Zhao Yao for a while, Liang Shuren got up to leave.

After Liang Shuren left, Song Dekang said: "What do you think the boss thinks? He is a good old man, and he is a good official. Why didn't he get promoted and transferred to the capital?"

"The Liang family has been doing business for generations, and it's not bad in Yangzhou, but it's nothing when they go to the capital." Taishi Liu said, "His county magistrate was bought in the previous dynasty. Great work. Besides, it is not a good thing for them to go to the capital."

"You didn't see it, he misses his daughter." Song Dekang clicked his lips and said, "It is estimated that Liang Zhaoyi never saw his family again after entering the palace."

Grand Master Liu glanced sideways at Song Dekang and said, "How many concubines in this palace can see their parents and family members."

"Can Liang Zhaoyi be like other concubines?"

"It's because it's different, so the emperor won't transfer Liang Zhaoyi's father to work in the capital." Grand Master Liu said with a deep expression on his face, "Didn't you see that the emperor is protecting them?"

Hearing Taishi Liu's words, Song Dekang finally realized.

"It really is."

Taishi Liu didn't talk about it again, and turned the topic back to Yangzhou.

Song Dekang listened carefully.

The discussion between the two did not end until Haishi.

"It's a pity." Song Dekang sighed suddenly.

Grand Master Liu paused for a moment when he picked up the teacup, and then asked suspiciously: "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity we're not in the capital." Song Dekang's expression turned mean, "These days, there must be a good show in the capital, but it's a pity we can't see it."

Taishi Liu nodded and said, "It's a pity."

"I really want to see the faces of those aristocratic families in the capital. It must be very exciting." Song Dekang said, "The boss's move will definitely scare the aristocratic families in the capital."

"This effect is what the emperor wants." Taishi Liu finished drinking tea, stood up and said, "Tomorrow is still busy, go back and rest."

"Old Liu, will you go to prison tomorrow, or should I go?" Song Dekang chased after him and asked.

"Don't you really like supervision and beheading? You can continue to supervise and behead."

"No, I'm tired of being imprisoned and executed for the past few days." Ever since these aristocratic families in Yangzhou were arrested, Grand Master Liu began to convict them one by one.They have committed too many crimes, and they are all serious crimes.Emperor Wu of Zhou directly ordered Liu Taishi and Song Dekang to be executed in Yangzhou.

Of course, not everyone was punished on the spot in Yangzhou.More than a dozen people were escorted to the capital, where they will be executed.

These dozen or so people are the patriarchs of Yangzhou aristocratic families.The crimes they committed are too numerous to record and must be executed in the capital.

One of the most important reasons for carrying out executions in the capital is to let the aristocratic families in the capital watch.

"There is one thing that I don't understand." Song Dekang asked in surprise, "Why didn't the boss take Dong Jin back to the capital for execution?"

"A small rebel, taking him to the capital for execution is giving him face." Grand Master Liu sneered, "Is he Dong Jinpei?"

Song Dekang nodded and said, "He is not worthy." Thinking of his previous interrogation of Dong Jin, Song Dekang always felt that Dong Jin had concealed something, but no matter how hard he and Grand Master Liu pressed him, Dong Jin would never speak again.

"Old Liu, what do you think that son of a bitch Dong Jin is hiding?"

"If you have concealed the real mastermind behind the scenes, what else can you conceal?"

"Who do you think is the real behind-the-scenes mastermind who has the ability to make Dong Jin work so hard for him and be so loyal?" Song Dekang crossed his arms and said as he walked, "When I arrested him, he was obviously in a panic. She looked shocked, as if she couldn't believe that she was betrayed."

"You said that he knew he was betrayed by the mastermind behind the scenes, but still kept it a secret for the mastermind behind the scenes. What is he trying to do?"

"It's very simple. He has important people in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes. Once he confesses the mastermind behind the scenes, his important people will die."

"Even if he keeps secrets for the mastermind behind the scenes, his important person will die." Song Dekang said, resting his right elbow with his left hand and pinching his chin with his right hand, "If he has no use value, then his important person will also die." There is no need to stay in this world. You say, doesn't he know this?"

"So what if you know." Taishi Liu said with a sneer, "He knows in his heart that if he doesn't speak out, then his important people still have a chance of life. If he speaks out, then his important people will undoubtedly die."

"That's right." Song Dekang asked again, "Old Liu, who do you think is behind Dong Jin?"

"do not know."

"Old Liu, with your intelligence, it is impossible not to know." Song Dekang guessed, "The people behind Dong Jin must be from the capital, but I don't know if it is the Wang family, the Xun family, or the Yuan family, or It's the Yu family..."

Taishi Liu ignored Song Dekang's words, walked into the yard where he lived, and closed the door in front of Song Dekang.

Song Dekang's nose was almost pinched by the door, and he was so angry that he knocked on the door a few times.

At this time, the deputy general came over and said, "General, there are several people in the prison clamoring to see you, saying that they don't want to die, but also want to make meritorious deeds and tell you something."

Song Dekang said impatiently: "These sons of bitches are endless, and I still have to sleep."

Taishi Liu: The emperor loves His Highness the Tenth Highness very much.

Zhao Yao: Why don't I know?
