The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 291

It was night, in the study of the two princes' mansion in Liangzhou.

The King of Chu was sitting at his desk, busy with official duties.

"Knock knock knock..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.Then, Wei Mian's voice was heard: "Your Highness."

The King of Chu said without raising his head, "Come in."

Wei Mian gently pushed the door open, and walked in lightly.He first bowed to the King of Chu, then took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to the King of Chu with both hands.

"Your Highness, a letter from His Highness Ten."

Hearing that it was Zhao Yao's letter, King Chu immediately put down the pen in his hand and took the letter from Wei Mian.When he took the letter, there was a look of surprise on his face, and he smiled and said, "Why is the letter so thin this time?" Why does it feel like there are not many sheets of paper.

Normally, the letters Zhao Yao wrote to the King of Chu were all thick stacks, which contained at least twenty or thirty pieces of letter paper.Sometimes one envelope cannot be packed, so two or three envelopes are used.This is the first time I have received such a thin letter.

"The servant is also wondering." When Wei Mian got the letter, he saw that it was from His Highness the Tenth Highness, but found that the envelope hadn't puffed up. He was surprised, thinking it wasn't a letter from the Tenth Highness, and he specifically confirmed it. , found that it was indeed a letter from His Highness the Tenth Highness.However, this time His Highness wrote a lot less letters than before, which is not like His Highness's style.

The King of Chu opened the letter with a smile and found that there were only five pieces of letter paper inside.His heart sank slightly, why did the tenth brother only write five?Did something happen to the tenth brother?
With worry in his heart, he hurriedly looked down at the letter.A few words were written on the first letter paper, and the summary was "Fourth brother, you didn't allow me to go to Liangzhou to see you, I am angry!", "Fourth brother, we have only been separated for a few years, and you don't love me." Am I the younger brother, am I no longer your baby brother?", "Fourth brother, you hurt my heart too much."

After reading the first letter, King Chu unconsciously showed a helpless and doting smile.

"This tenth brother..." He thought that something happened to the tenth brother, but he didn't expect the tenth brother to be angry.

On the second letter paper, there was only one sentence repeatedly: "Fourth brother, I'm angry!"

The king of Chu smiled in his heart and said: I can see it.

On the third piece of letter paper, there was a sentence written in huge characters; "Fourth brother, you don't love me anymore!", followed by an emoji rolling on the ground and crying.

The king of Chu said in his heart: The painting is quite similar.

On the fourth piece of letter paper, there was still a sentence written in huge characters: "Fourth brother, you have been in chaos and abandoned!"

The King of Chu stretched out his hand to rest his forehead, and said helplessly in his heart: Tenth brother, that's not how you use it when you start chaotically and end up abandoning it.

On the fifth piece of letter paper, a sentence was written very forcefully: "Fourth brother, I want to break up with you for a month!".Below this sentence, there is another sentence written in normal characters, "Fourth brother, even if you beg me to visit you in Liangzhou, I will not visit you. Hmph, do it yourself!"

After reading the letter written by Zhao Yao, King Chu couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha..."

Wei Mian, who was standing by the side, saw King Chu laughing, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what did His Highness Ten write?"

"The tenth brother is angry and wants to break up with me." King Chu said, and handed the letter in his hand to Wei Mian to read.

After Wei Mian finished reading it, he burst out laughing: "Your Highness, Your Highness Tenth is really too cute and fun."

The King of Chu said amusedly and dotingly: "It can be seen that the tenth brother is really angry."

"Your Highness, the Tenth Highness will break up with you for a month, so it can be seen that he is really angry." Wei Mian sighed in his heart, the Tenth Highness is really too interesting.However, thanks to the letter from His Royal Highness, the prince laughed.During this period of time, some things happened, and the prince was always in a bad mood, with a sullen face all day long, which frightened everyone.

Neither the concubine nor the little highness could make the prince smile, and only the tenth highness was able to make the prince laugh.The prince's smile just now seemed to sweep away all the haze of this period of time.

"The Tenth Highness has never said anything about breaking up with you. This is the first time that the Tenth Highness has said that he has broken up with you. It can be seen that the Tenth Highness is really angry with you." Wei Mian said, holding up the last piece of letter paper, "Look how hard the Tenth Highness wrote this sentence." So hard that the ink seeped into the back.

King Chu naturally saw it.He could imagine the look of the tenth brother when he was angry.His eyes were full of smiles: "He still told me to take care of myself." Tenth brother, how can I take care of myself.

"Your Highness, you haven't seen Tenth Highness for several years. Tenth Highness misses you very much, and you miss Tenth Highness very much. Why don't you allow Tenth Highness to visit you?" Wei Mian didn't understand, "You tell the emperor, The emperor will definitely agree with the Tenth Highness to come to Liangzhou to see you. If you are worried about the Tenth Highness's safety, you can send someone to the capital to pick up the Tenth Highness, or your slaves can go to pick you up."

The king of Chu missed Zhao Yao a lot.After he came to Liangzhou, it was his younger brother Zhao Yao who had been worrying about him.Although he knew from Dou Le that the tenth brother had a good life in the past few years and nothing happened, he was still a little worried.

"Why don't I want my tenth brother to come to Liangzhou to see me, but... a lot of things have happened during this time. When he came, I couldn't take good care of him. Also, the Crown Prince and Dai Wang are very afraid of me. If I let them know that the tenth brother came to Liangzhou to see me, I am worried that they will hurt the tenth brother." If the tenth brother had an accident on the way to Liangzhou, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Your Highness, the crown prince and acting king will never dare to hurt His Highness the Tenth Highness." Wei Mian said, "Although His Highness the Tenth Highness is not favored by the Emperor, the Tenth Highness is the Emperor's own son after all, and the Emperor will never allow the Crown Prince and the Daiwang to hurt His Highness the Tenth Highness." Yes. Besides, His Highness the Tenth Highness is just a child, and there is no threat to the Crown Prince and Daiwang, and they don't need to deal with His Highness the Tenth Highness because of you."

"Really?" The King of Chu felt that the Crown Prince and Dai Wang would attack His Royal Highness.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. If the Crown Prince and Dai Wang really hurt His Highness the Tenth Highness, the Emperor will definitely not spare them lightly. Besides, they don't dare to bear the reputation of hurting the younger brother." Wei Mian said this "Don't worry, don't worry."

The King of Chu thought for a while and said, "Then invite the tenth younger brother to Liangzhou to play in a while."

"At that time, I will go back to the capital to pick up His Highness." Wei Mian said with a smile, "I haven't seen His Highness for several years, and I miss His Highness very much. I haven't seen him for a few years. I don't know how much His Highness has grown up. Have you grown taller?"

"Didn't he write a letter before saying that he has grown a lot taller, and that he will be as tall as me in a year or two." King Chu said so, but in fact he missed Zhao Yao as much as Wei Mian in his heart. "He also said that he looks really good-looking now."

"The Tenth Highness has been good-looking since he was a child, and he is also very cute, especially when he smiles." Wei Mian laughed, "I don't know if the Tenth Highness has poked out the dimple on the right in recent years."

Hearing Wei Mian's dimple poking, King Chu couldn't help laughing again: "I forgot to ask him about that."

"With the presence of His Highness the Tenth Prince, the mood will involuntarily improve." The more Wei Mian talked, the more he thought of Zhao Yao, "The Tenth Prince can always make people happy."

"He always said that he was my pistachio." When it came to the pistachio, the king of Chu smiled again, "He said that without him in the past few years, I must have seldom smiled, and I am old. How old are you?"

"His Highness the Tenth Prince often jokes and laughs at Ten Years Young."

"Yeah, so without him by my side, I'm ten years older." Chu Wang said, "He wrote before saying that if he doesn't come to Liangzhou to see me again, I will become a little old man."

"Your Highness, you should hurry up and write to His Highness the Tenth Highness, and ask His Highness to forgive you." Wei Mian helped the King of Chu with an idea, "I feel that the Tenth Highness is very angry this time, I'm afraid you have to send something to the Tenth Highness , otherwise His Royal Highness will find it difficult to calm down."

Just as King Chu was about to say something, there was another knock on the door, and then the voices of the princess and His Royal Highness were heard.

"come in."

Princess Chu had a big belly, she walked in with her son in one hand and a food box in the other.

Seeing this, Wei Mian hurriedly saluted Princess Chu and His Royal Highness, and immediately took the food box from Princess Chu.

King Chu stood up, supported Princess Chu to sit down on a chair beside him, and then picked up his son.

"Why are you here?"

The little bun said softly, "Mother said Daddy is hungry, so let me bring food to Daddy." He said, pointing to the food box in Wei Mian's hand, "Daddy, hurry up and eat."

"Okay, Daddy eat." King Chu looked soft, and his tone was full of affection, "Thank you, little bun, for bringing food to Daddy."

"Daddy, you're welcome."

Wei Mian opened the food box and took out a bowl of soup and two plates of dim sum inside.

The king of Chu sat down with the little bun in his arms. He drank the soup for his son.

As soon as Princess Chu came in, she found that King Chu's brows had stretched a lot, and his complexion had changed a lot. He seemed to be in a good mood, so she asked, "What were you talking about just now? You look very happy?"

The King of Chu smiled and said, "We were talking about the tenth brother just now."

Wei Mian on the side added: "Princess Wang, the Tenth Highness has sent a letter."

Princess Chu knew that the relationship between King Chu and Zhao Yao was very good, and that the two brothers often wrote letters.

She asked curiously, "What did Brother Ten write?"

Wei Mian of the Chu Dynasty cast a look, Wei Mian understood, and immediately gave the letter written by Zhao Yao to Princess Chu.

"Princess, you will know when you see it."

Princess Chu couldn't help laughing after reading the letter written by Zhao Yao.

"My lord, what did you do to make the tenth brother furious, so angry that he wants to break up with you?"

Sitting in King Chu's arms, Little Baozi looked at his father with big black eyes, and asked, "Daddy, why did you make little uncle angry?" Everyone knew and remembered Zhao Yao, the little uncle who often gave him fun things.

"Before the tenth brother wrote to me saying that he wanted to come to Liangzhou to visit us, and asked me to tell my father that I didn't agree, so he became angry." King Chu said helplessly, "I didn't expect the tenth brother to be so angry. .”

"Daddy, why don't you agree to my little uncle coming to see us?" Little Baozi looked at King Chu with reproachful eyes, "I want to see my little uncle."

"My lord, why don't you agree to the Tenth Highness coming to Liangzhou?"

"A lot of things have happened during this period, and I'm worried that someone will harm the tenth brother."

Concubine Chu understood what King Chu meant, she frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness is right to be worried."

"I'll be busy after a while, and I'll send Wei Mian back to the capital to pick up my tenth brother to play." When the King of Chu thought of Zhao Yao's angry appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "I have to ask my tenth brother to come to Liang." Otherwise, the tenth brother will break up with me for the rest of my life." Although the tenth brother said in the letter that even if he begged him, he would not come to Liangzhou, in fact, the tenth brother wanted him to beg him to come to Liangzhou.

"I'll send someone back to Beijing with Wei Mian to pick up the tenth brother." Princess Chu said, "I just want to send some things to my mother and concubine and my parents."

"That's fine." The King of Chu said again, "The tenth brother is angry. I'm thinking of giving him something to make him happy. Do you have any suggestions, Princess?"

"You can give the tenth brother some delicious and fun things." Princess Chu said, "My lord, let me help you prepare."

"Okay." Most of the things that were given to Zhao Yao before were prepared by Princess Chu.

"By the way, didn't you send some good materials a while ago, and give them to the tenth brother and Liang Concubine as well." Princess Chu said again, "Why don't you let the embroiderer in the mansion make some clothes for the tenth brother? clothing?"

"Let's send the material." Chu Wang said, "I don't know if the tenth brother has grown taller during this time."

"The tenth brother is growing taller, maybe he has grown taller during this period of time." Princess Chu thought of Zhao Yao's face, and said with a chuckle, "I haven't seen you in the past few years, the tenth brother must be getting better and better. It looks good."

"When he comes, if you praise him for his good looks, he will be very happy, and he will like you very much as sister-in-law, and will say that you have good vision."

"Then when the tenth brother comes, I will praise the tenth brother properly." Princess Chu only met Zhao Yao after she married the king of Chu.Before they left the capital, Zhao Yao often went to Chu Palace, and it was only then that Princess Chu became familiar with Zhao Yao.She likes the younger brother Zhao Yao very much, he is lively, cute and playful. "My lord, how is the tenth brother?"

"Very well, nothing happened."

Princess Chu knew that King Chu always missed Zhao Yao who was far away in the capital, "That's good."

While eating supper, King Chu told Princess Chu and Xiao Baozi about Zhao Yao.

Xiao Baozi listened very carefully, his eyes sparkling.

The person he most resembles seeing is his little uncle, and he has been waiting for his little uncle to come and play with him.Well now, the little uncle is really coming to play with him.

"Daddy, when little uncle comes, I can give up my room to him, and I can sleep with him."

"Okay, when little uncle comes, let him sleep with you." King Chu patted his son's little head and said, "Your little uncle will be very happy."

"Daddy, when will the little uncle come?"

"In a few months."

"It will take so long, can little uncle come tomorrow, I want to see little uncle tomorrow." Little Baozi said with a puffy face.

"Little uncle is in the capital. It's far away from us. We won't be able to arrive tomorrow..." King Chu patiently asked his son why the little uncle didn't come until several months later.

After Xiao Baozi heard this, although he was a little disappointed, he was more looking forward to it.

The king of Chu saw that it was getting late, so he asked Princess Chu to take Xiao Baozi back to her room to rest, and he had to continue to deal with official duties.

Princess Chu knew that King Chu had a lot of things to do during this period, so she didn't wait to disturb him for long.Before leaving, he told King Chu to rest early.

After Princess Chu left with her son, King Chu immediately became serious and asked Wei Mian about other matters.

At this time, Zhao Yao, who was far away in the capital, sneezed several times in a row.

"Your Highness, you won't catch the cold, right?" Tong Xi said nervously, "I will ask the small kitchen to cook ginger soup for you."

"No, I'm fine, I didn't catch a cold." Zhao Yao pouted and said, "The fourth brother must be talking about me. I don't know if the fourth brother realizes his mistake."

"Your Highness, you have written letters to break off relations with His Highness King Chu. His Highness Chu must have realized that he was wrong." Tong Xi thought that His Highness Chu would find it funny when he received His Highness's letter. I will write a letter to apologize to you, and maybe I will give you something to make you happy."

Zhao Yao snorted arrogantly: "Don't think that I will forgive him if you write me an apology letter! Don't think that I won't be angry if you give me something! I am very angry this time, and I can't be coaxed casually .”

"Your Highness, if His Highness the King of Chu really begs you to go to Liangzhou, will you really not go?"

"No, I told fourth brother to beg me, but I won't go either." Of course, if fourth sister-in-law and little bun invite him to Liangzhou, he will definitely go.He quickly thought of what the emperor said before, and his face immediately collapsed, "Father does not agree with me going to Liangzhou." The stinky father refused to let him leave the capital to go to other places.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu begged the Emperor, and the Emperor also disagreed?"

"I don't agree, my father said that I am too young and won't let me travel far." Zhao Yao became angry when he mentioned this matter, "I am already 11 years old, how can I be a child. Besides, my father When I was 11 years old, I went to the battlefield with Grandpa Huang to kill the enemy, so why do you say that I am a child at 11 years old."

"Your Highness, if the Emperor disagrees, then you really can't go to Liangzhou."

"The stinky father won't let me go, so I will go secretly." Zhao Yao said rebelliously, "I have already thought about it. After Mr. Meng leaves, I will ask my second uncle to help me get rid of the father sent by my father." Follow my hidden guards, and then I leave the capital without anyone noticing."

Tongxi was surprised: "Your Highness, are you going to sneak away?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "That's what I planned."

"Your Highness, it's not the servants who hit you. I'm afraid you won't be able to sneak away."

"Why?" Zhao Yao said with a puzzled face, "With the help of my second uncle, I will definitely succeed."

"Your Highness, the second uncle can help you get rid of the hidden guards, but if you don't return to the palace for several days, the emperor will definitely find out that you have sneaked away, and the emperor will definitely send someone to arrest you." Tong Xi analyzed, " With the methods and abilities of the hidden guards, they should find you soon and catch you back, then the emperor will definitely beat you in anger."

(⊙o⊙)...

It hadn't occurred to him.

Zhao Yao lay down on the table dejectedly, and said a little hopelessly: "So, I can't sneak away?"

"Yes, you should stop thinking about it." Tong Xi said, "It's getting late, Your Highness, you should wash up and go to sleep."

"Father's hidden guard is really annoying." Zhao Yao knew that as long as he left the palace, the hidden guard would follow him.Although he had never seen those four hidden guards since he was assassinated by Concubine Ying in the Taoist temple, he knew that the four hidden guards must have been by his side in recent years.

"Your Highness, the emperor sent secret guards to follow you to protect you."

"But with them here, I can't escape." Zhao Yao curled his lips unhappily and said, "I still want to run out of the capital and go to many places to play."

Tong Xi thoughtfully did not expose Zhao Yao's small thoughts of wanting to go to Liangzhou, "Your Highness, if you really want to go out to play, you should obediently ask the emperor to agree, otherwise you will not be able to go anywhere."

"I beg my father, hehe..." Zhao Yao sneered, "It's better to beg God."

"Your Highness, I'm going to listen to Mr. Meng's lecture tomorrow, so you should hurry up and get some sleep."

Zhao Yao stood up and stretched.

"You have to go to bed early, otherwise you will wake up early tomorrow, and you will definitely feel sleepy when you are listening to school."

"Your Highness, this servant will prepare a pot of strong tea for you tomorrow morning, and drink a few more sips of strong tea when you are sleepy."

"Okay, you prepare it for me." Zhao Yao said again, "You can go to Yu Hai later and ask him to prepare some more food for me tomorrow morning. I want to eat more, so as not to be hungry when I am studying." Most of the time, Zhao Yao ate breakfast and dinner with the Eighth Prince.

"The servant will go right away."

Zhao Yao didn't say anything, turned around and went to the ear room to take a bath.

When he came out of the bath, he crawled into bed and slept.While sleeping soundly, he felt something nagging his face and calling his name in his ear.

Zhao Yao opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a Haidongqing lying on his chest, staring at him with a pair of small round eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and raised his hand to touch Hai Dongqing's head.

"Xiaoqing, why are you here?" Xiaoqing was the Haidongqing he gave to the Eighth Prince. "Did something happen to my starling?"

Xiaoqing said: [Someone wrote to the eighth prince, his name is Ji Bochang. 】

Zhao Yao got up, leaned against the head of the bed, and asked with doubts on his face, "What did Ji Bochang write?"

Xiaoqing was illiterate, so she could only tell Zhao Yao what she heard.

【The Eighth Prince said that the matter was done successfully. 】

"It worked, what happened?"

【The eighth prince and Yu Hai didn't say anything. 】Xiao Qing tilted her head, and continued: 【The Eighth Prince and Yu Hai are very happy. 】

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Yao asked, "Did the starling mention anything about the Southern Wei Dynasty?"

Xiaoqing said: [No. 】

"What did the starling ask Ubi to do?" Zhao Yao muttered, "What the starling told Ubi to do must not be a trivial matter."

[I didn't say, I don't know. 】Xiaoqing is very smart, as long as it is what the eighth prince said to Yu Hai, it can probably remember it, and then pass it on to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao kissed Xiaoqing's head, and said with a smile, "I don't know it's okay, the starlings will definitely mention it later, and you will tell me when you hear it."

Xiaoqing nodded and said: 【Okay. 】

Zhao Yao yawned: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to continue to sleep, you can find Xiaojin to play by yourself." Xiaojin is the golden sculpture that Liang Run gave to Zhao Yao.

Xiaoqing rubbed Zhao Yao's face with its small head, and then flew away to play with Xiaojin.It and Xiaojin like to catch and play at night.

Zhao Yao lay back under the quilt again, opened his mouth and yawned again, muttering: "What is myna doing again?"

　Thank you very much for the monthly tickets of the veterans, bow and thank you!
　　In the new month, we still have to rely on the support of veterans.
