The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In He Lianfang's house.

Zhao Yao and He Lianfang are fighting in front of the sand table.

In the past two years, Zhao Yao's military skills have improved a lot, but he is still no match for He Lianfang.However, He Lianfang couldn't beat Zhao Yao as easily as in the beginning.

He Lianfang sat drinking tea, while Zhao Yao stood in front of the sand table and resumed their battle just now.

After each battle, Zhao Yao will review and reflect.

In the past two years, Zhao Yao has learned the art of war with He Lianfang.However, because of his young age, he was unable to practice on the battlefield.

After Zhao Yao finished his reflection, it was already noon, and the housekeeper had already prepared lunch.

The master and apprentice discussed the art of war while having lunch.

After lunch, Zhao Yao pushed He Lianfang to the yard to bask in the sun.

The wheelchair that He Lianfang is making now is improved by Zhao Yao, and it is lighter than the old wheelchair.He Lianfang didn't need others to push him, and he could sit in a wheelchair and go to the yard to bask in the sun.

Zhao Yao stood behind He Lianfang, with his hands lying on the back of the wheelchair, his face raised, his eyes squinted to enjoy the warm sunshine.

"There are no clues about the death of the former empress." He Lianfang said in a flat tone.

"I guessed it would be like this." Zhao Yao was not surprised by this result at all, "How could Mrs. Laozhen Guogong leave a clue to threaten her daughter, she must have completely destroyed all the evidence."

"However, I found some interesting things." He Lianfang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an intriguing smile. "Many years ago, the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion expelled many servants, saying that these servants stole from the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion."

Zhao Yao propped his face with his right hand and said, "If I'm not wrong, these servants were killed when they were expelled from the Duke's Mansion, and none of them were left behind."

"That's right, among these servants, there are the old servants of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. They have been serving the Duke of Zhen's mansion for a long time, and they are also the people who serve by the wife of the old Duke of Zhen." He Lianfang said in a deep voice, "Old Mrs. Zhen Guo not only killed them, but also killed their whole family, leaving no one behind."

Zhao Yao gasped in shock after hearing this: "So vicious?"

He Lianfang sneered and said, "Which of these aristocratic families is not vicious and vicious."

"That's the person who served them all their lives, not only killed them, but also killed their whole family." Zhao Yao frowned, and said with a calm face, "It's really heartless and cruel."

"So far, no fish that slipped through the net has been found."

Zhao Yao sighed solemnly: "Oh, I'm afraid there are no fish that slip through the net."

"Lao Zhen Guogong's wife is smarter than Empress Xie, and also more ruthless than Empress Xie." He Lianfang said expressionlessly, "If she hadn't died, I'm afraid Concubine Rong would have died long ago."

"Second uncle, you underestimate my father." Zhao Yao said, "If the old Mrs. Zhen Guogong is still alive and she interferes with the affairs of the father's queen's palace, after the father finds out, she will have no choice but to die, and then thank you. The Queen will also be deposed."

He Lianfang heard what Zhao Yao said, looked at him jokingly and said, "It seems that you really believe in your father's methods."

"It's not that I don't believe it, but that my father's methods are not bad." Zhao Yao snorted, "Playing tricks, playing tricks, and playing tricks, there are few people in this world who can beat father."

He Lianfang said with a look of disgust: "This is true, your father is despicable, treacherous and treacherous."

Zhao Yao: "..." Second uncle, are you praising the emperor?
"I believe that the aristocratic families must have planted eyeliner in the harem, and then my father pulled out all of these eyeliners." Zhao Yaochang propped his face with his left hand, and said in a lazily tone, "These aristocratic families want to be in my father's eyelids." It’s impossible to play tricks on the ground.”

"Your boy is just like your father."

"Second Uncle, are you praising me, or are you mocking me?"

"What do you say?"

"I just thought you were praising me." Zhao Yao said, and suddenly remembered another thing, "Second Uncle, there is still no clue to the secret of the Pei family's deserted house."

He Lianfang shook her head and said: "No, everyone who knew about the Pei family's situation back then is dead, and now no one knows what secret treasure the Pei family has."

Zhao Yao scratched his face and said, "Then we can only wait for Dingyuan to recover his memory." Dingyuan has not recalled anything important so far.It is unlikely that the memory will be completely recovered in this life. "Does Han Zhong know anything?"

"Han Zhong only knows that the Pei family left behind a treasure, but they don't know what the treasure is or where it is." He Lianfang raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Perhaps the treasure left by the Pei family is a gimmick."

"It's not impossible." Zhao Yao had no hope for the treasure left by the Pei family.

"By the way, Han Zhong is ill and will die soon."

"real or fake?"

"He is dying, and his sons in Shu are fighting for his place."

Zhao Yao's eyes lit up, and he said with joy, "Then now is the opportunity to attack Shu."

"With the stupidity of Han Zhong's sons, there is no need to send troops to attack Shu, they will finish the game by themselves." He Lianfang said mockingly, "They are already fighting among themselves."

"Infighting?" Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a strange look on his face, "Second Uncle, did you and Royal Father secretly contribute to the flames?"

He Lianfang didn't answer Zhao Yao's question, so Zhao Yao waited for him to acquiesce.

"Shu is a good place, and there are a lot of delicious food there."

He Lianfang glared at Zhao Yao, and said angrily, "You know how to eat."

Zhao Yao asked back of course: "Is there anything more important than delicious food?"

He Lianfang: "..."

"I know that there are many treasures in Shu, but these treasures have nothing to do with me. I'm thinking about what they do, rather than delicious food."

"You can see it."

"Even if there is internal strife in Shu, Shu will not be finished in a year or so." Zhao Yao guessed, "At least it will take three to five years."

"Almost." He Lianfang suddenly asked with a half-smile, "Which of Han Zhong's sons do you think will cooperate with Da Zhou?"

Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Eldest son."

He Lianfang asked, "Why the eldest son?"

"Because he is the son of Han Zhong's original wife, and he has not been favored, so he has been living a miserable life all these years." Han Zhong has five sons, the eldest son was born to him and his original wife.It stands to reason that Han Zhong should attach the most importance to the eldest son, but the fact is the opposite.

Han Zhong was married back then, and the eldest son did not take his surname.His first wife died of illness within a few years after giving birth to his eldest son, and then Han Zhong took over as his stepwife, and his son has taken his surname since then.

It is said that Han Zhong's original wife is a very capable woman, and her ability is higher than that of Han Zhong.When she was alive, Han Zhong was very afraid of her and hated her.

Hate the house and Wu, how could Han Zhong like the eldest son.

When the original wife was alive, Han Zhong would still pretend to like the eldest son.After the death of his first wife, Han Zhong never concealed his dislike for his eldest son.

For these years, Han Zhong's eldest son lived very aggrieved in Shu.However, he always had a sigh of relief in his heart, and wanted to take back the inheritance rights.The land of Shu belonged to his maternal ancestor's family, and it must not be taken away by Han Zhong and the others.

"That's right."

"However, it is difficult for the eldest son to live in other fraternities. If he wants to take back Shu, he can only cooperate with Da Zhou." Zhao Yao said, "Father and the others are waiting for the eldest son to ask for help, but before the eldest son asks for help, father The emperor's people will definitely add fuel to the fire."

"If it were you, what would you do?"

"Of course I did the same thing as my father." Why not do it if you can regain the land of Shu without a single soldier.

"Have you ever thought about going to the barracks?"

Zhao Yao was taken aback by He Lianfang's sudden question: "Go to the military camp?"

"Yes, have you thought about joining the army?"

"Second uncle, do you want me to join the army?" Zhao Yao never thought about joining the army because he was too young.

"You have learned the art of war with me, but you have never practiced it. You should go to the battlefield to practice." He Lianfang said, "There will be a war between the Great Zhou and the Huns sooner or later, and Lingnan will not always be peaceful. You should go to military school to learn Really capable." Actually, the purpose of He Lianfang sending Zhao Yao to the barracks was not what he said.His real intention was to let Zhao Yao go to the military camp to subdue those soldiers.

"Didn't your friends join the army?"

"Yes." Zhao Yao's four younger brothers were a few years older than him, and they all joined the army last year.

"Second Uncle, even if I want to go, I can't go now." Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "I'm too young now, Father will not allow me to go."

"I didn't ask you to go now, but I asked you to go in a few years." He Lianfang said, "In four years, you can go to the military camp." At that time, Dai Wang entered the military camp when he was 12 years old. , and then made great military exploits.

"Okay, I'm willing to join the army in four years, if the emperor agrees at that time." Compared to studying in the palace, he would rather go to the military camp to hone his training.

He Lianfang said with deep meaning, "He will agree."

"Hopefully." Zhao Yao didn't hold out much hope.

The two chatted for a while and then played chess.

He Lianfang played chess and asked Zhao Yao what he thought the emperor gave General Lu's daughter to the fourth prince in marriage.

Zhao Yao said that the emperor asked the fourth prince to come forward, and for checks and balances.

"There is one thing I forgot to tell you."

Zhao Yao raised his eyes and looked at He Lianfang curiously: "What is it?"

He Lianfang said casually: "Princess An Nanguo's ancestral family has gold mines in their territory."

"What, Gold Mine, is it true or not?" Zhao Yao said with a puffy face, "Second Uncle, why didn't you tell me before?"

"forget."

Zhao Yao: "..." Second Uncle, you didn't do it on purpose, did you?

"Does the royal family of Annan know about this matter?"

"I don't know, the princess's maternal ancestral family concealed this matter." He Lianfang said calmly, "They did not mine this gold mine."

"Why is this?"

"I don't want others to know about it." He Lianfang continued, "The gold mine they discovered is very large. Once excavated, it will be known by the royal family, and the royal family will take it for themselves."

"Can they resist digging?"

"The princess's ancestral home also has a gold mine, but it's very small, and the royal family knows about it." He Lianfang played with the chess pieces in his hand and said casually, "They donate a lot of gold to the royal family every year."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't expect Princess An Nanguo's maternal ancestral family to be so rich."

"The princess's maternal ancestral home is related to the royal family of the Pyu Kingdom."

"I know this. The princess's maternal ancestral family is married to the royal family of the Pyu Kingdom." Zhao Yao asked, "Is there any shameful thing between them?"

"Piao country has more copper mines than Annan country, do you know?"

It was the first time Zhao Yao heard about this kind of thing, and he said with a look of astonishment: "Really?"

"Really, there are many precious stones and jade in Pyu country." He Lianfang said in a seductive tone, "The rice in Pyu country is also three crops a year."

"I know this. The rice in several countries near An Nanguo is basically harvested twice or thrice a year."

After Annan Kingdom became a vassal state of Dazhou, it would pay a large amount of grain to Dazhou every year.

The weather in Lingnan is similar to that in Annan, and rice in Annan can be grown, but only twice a year.Since last year, Annan country's rice has been planted in Lingnan, and the harvest is very good.

"As long as the miasma in the Pyu country is resolved, the Pyu country can be included in the bag." He Lianfang smiled meaningfully at Zhao Yao, "Funan, Luzon, Johor and other countries can also be included in the bag."

"Second Uncle, are you asking me to personally lead troops to shoot them down?"

"I mean your fleet is ready."

"However, father has not lifted the sea ban yet."

"Soon." He Lianfang said very firmly, "You can prepare in advance."

"I didn't hear any rumors, how did you know, Second Uncle?"

He Lianfang said calmly, "Guess."

Zhao Yao was dumbfounded: "..."

"You start preparing now, there is still time."

Although he didn't know why He Lianfang was so sure, Zhao Yao believed in He Lianfang's judgment.

"Okay, I'll write to my uncle and ask him to start preparing for the sea."

"The doctors sent to Lingnan to study the miasma have gained some results, and they have a way to deal with the miasma. You can send people to Pyu country now."

When Zhao Yao heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Second Uncle, I thought you asked me to help Princess An Nanguo."

"How can you help, let your fourth brother marry her?"

"I can't help that. Fourth brother won't marry her."

"You can help her make peace with King Zheng."

"What can I do..." Before Zhao Yao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the incident a few years ago, and his expression became subtle in an instant. "Second uncle, how do you know that I have a solution?"

"Tong An is an eunuch next to you."

Hearing what He Lianfang said, Zhao Yao instantly understood what he meant.

"You really can't hide anything from Second Uncle."

"King Zheng has something in your hands."

"Second Uncle, don't you know?" Zhao Yao thought He Lianfang knew.

"I haven't checked King Zheng." He Lianfang didn't pay attention to King Zheng, because King Zheng would not pose a threat to Zhao Yao. "He's not worth my sending someone to investigate him."

"Well, the third brother has a problem. He likes to torture and kill people." Zhao Yao's face became very ugly when he mentioned this matter, "He likes to use various methods to abuse eunuchs and maids. He was beaten to death."

He Lianfang looked surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

"Tong An was almost beaten to death by the third brother..." Zhao Yao told He Lianfang about Tong An in detail.

After hearing this, He Lianfang scolded coldly, "Bastard!"

"Second Uncle, are we capable of dealing with Third Brother and the Wang family?" In the past two or three years, Third Brother has been beating eunuchs and maids more violently in private, killing many people.

"Your father won't touch King Zheng for the time being, otherwise King Zheng won't just face the wall and think about it for a month if he beats your fourth brother." He Lianfang said, "King Zheng is an important chess piece against the Wang family."

"That's it, then we'll just have to wait."

"Although King Zheng can't be touched for the time being, we can give him some suffering."

"Second Uncle means..."

He Lianfang said something softly to Zhao Yao, after Zhao Yao listened, there was an expression of admiration on his face.

"Second uncle still has a way."

The master and apprentice chatted for a while about the affairs of the court, and then they talked about the affairs of Lingnan.

In the past two years, the people sent by Zhao Yao have thoroughly figured out the situation in Lingnan.With the help of He Lianfang, the Lin family has already taken refuge in Zhao Yao.

In the past two years, Zhao Yao ordered the Lin family to do some things.The Lin family's ability to handle affairs is good, and they did well what Zhao Yao told them to do.

"It's a pity that I can't go to Lingnan now." Zhao Yao can't do many things if he doesn't go to Lingnan himself.

"What can you do in Lingnan now." He Lianfang cast a sideways glance at Zhao Yao and said, "You little baby will only be underestimated if you go to Lingnan now."

"That's right." Zhao Yao felt a little headache when he thought of the barbaric villages in the south of the Five Ridges.He had to join the army, otherwise he would not be able to deal with the people in those villages when he went to Lingnan.

"Before you go to Lingnan, you should not do too many things, or you will be self-defeating." He Lianfang warned Zhao Yao, "When you go to Lingnan when you become an adult, then do what you want to do."

Although the ministers of the DPRK and China will not set their sights on Lingnan, An Nanguo is next door to Lingnan.If there are too many changes in Lingnan, the Annan Congress will notice, and when the time comes to report to the court, the ministers in the court will know.

Before Zhao Yao goes to Lingnan as an adult, Lingnan cannot become a fertile land, otherwise Lingnan will be contested by the princes.

The second watch is here.

He Lianfang: There are many treasures in foreign countries like Piao, don't you want them?

Zhao Yao: I can't refuse the temptation, I want it!

He Lianfang: When you grow up and go to Lingnan, you can shoot them down.
