The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The second son of the Yuan family, named Yuan Qiong.Some time ago, I went to the Western Regions to check the business. On the surface, it was like this, but in fact, I secretly went to the Xiongnu to meet King Youxian.

What Xiaoqing told Zhao Yao a few days ago was actually this matter.

"Your Highness, who killed it?" Although Tong Xi had never met the second son of the Yuan family, he had heard about him.He is a well-known romantic figure in the capital, and he is the ideal husband in the hearts of many boudoir women.He doesn't like being an official, he only likes to do business, and he is very good at doing business.It is said that he is in charge of the Yuan family's business.Today, the Yuan family's business is very large, not losing to other aristocratic families at all.

Zhao Yao asked back, "What do you think?"

Tong Xi quickly thought of something, and a horrified look appeared on his face: "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince sent someone to kill him, right?"

Zhao Yao nodded with a sullen face, but did not speak.

Tong Xi quickly covered his mouth with both hands, a terrified expression appeared on his slightly delicate face.

It turned out to be His Highness the Eighth Prince!

Oh my goodness, His Highness the Eighth Prince, he...he...

"Your Highness, why did His Highness the Eighth Prince kill Yuan Jia Erlang?" Tong Xi was full of confusion, "Did Yuan Jia Erlang offend the Eighth Highness? Does the Eighth Highness know Yuan Jia Erlang? Do they have any intersection?"

Zhao Yao guessed: "Myna and Yuan Jia Erlang should not have any intersection."

"Then why did His Highness the Eighth Prince kill the Erlang of the Yuan family?" Tong Xi was full of doubts, "If there is no grievance and no enmity, why would you kill someone?" He felt that the Eighth Highness was getting more and more scary.

Zhao Yao said solemnly: "Revenge."

"Revenge?" Tong Xi asked with a look of surprise, "Your Highness, didn't you just say that His Highness Eighth Highness and Yuan Jia Erlang had no intersection, why did Eighth Highness seek revenge from Yuan Jia Erlang, and what did Yuan Jia Erlang do that made Eighth Highness want to kill him?"

Zhao Yao tapped the table with his right index finger, muttering, "Revenge for the Southern Wei Dynasty."

"Southern Wei, what does this have to do with Southern Wei?" Tong Xi became more confused the more he heard.

Zhao Yao asked: "Do you still remember the incident when the Yuan family framed the Pei family and caused the whole family to be executed?"

Tong Xi nodded, and said: "I remember, I still remember, Your Highness, you said that Concubine Pei's grandmother was from the Southern Wei Dynasty. At that time, Pei's family was ransacked and beheaded, and there was another reason for this. But, what does this have to do with the Eighth Highness killing Yuan's Erlang, and the Eighth Highness is not from the Southern Wei?"

"You are stupid, what is the relationship between the starling and the Southern Wei Dynasty now." Zhao Yao rolled his eyes and said happily, "Mynah and the Southern Wei Dynasty are now in a close cooperative relationship, so naturally they want to avenge the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty."

"That's right." Tong Xi suddenly looked around, looking alert and cautious, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, is the Eighth Highness going to kill all the Yuan family?"

"The Southern Wei Dynasty began to get revenge, and they would definitely not let the Yuan family go, but with the means of Bai, they first killed the Yuan family Erlang, and then they would kill the eldest son of the Yuan family, that is, Yuan Yuan." Zhao Yan measured, "The eight brothers first killed the two most important people of the Yuan family. One was revenge from the Yuan family. Do it, he should collapse the Huns out of the Yuan family at the right time. "

"The Yuan family deserved what they deserved." However, His Highness's method was really terrifying.Tong Xi suddenly thought of the sixth prince, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, will His Highness the Eighth Prince kill His Highness King Han?"

Zhao Yao frowned when he heard Tong Xi's question, and then said with a heavy face, "It should be."

Tong Xi gasped in fright.He stammered and said, "His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince really wants to kill, kill, kill His Highness King Han..."

"Brother Six is ​​the hope of the Yuan family. Killing Brother Six will deal a big blow to the Yuan Family." Zhao Yao guessed in his heart that after Yuan Han died, it would be Brother Six's turn next.

Tong Xi turned pale with fright, "Your Highness, does the Eighth Prince really dare to kill His Highness King Han?"

"Why don't you dare?" Zhao Yao asked back, "Do you think myna is a coward?"

"No, I just think..." Tong Xi couldn't come up with it for a while, he struggled and said, "I just think His Highness Eighth Prince is a bit scary to kill someone." The Eighth Prince has always been a good brother in front of His Highness, and when he suddenly learned that His Highness would kill someone, besides being afraid, he felt a little unacceptable.

"It's not that starlings killed people by themselves." Zhao Yao said with a deep expression, "This is just the beginning."

"Your Highness, it was right for you to decide to go to Lingnan." Tong Xi suddenly felt emotional.

Zhao Yao knew what Tong Xi was thinking, and said angrily, "Otherwise, why do you think I promised my second uncle to go to Lingnan, a place where no shit is possible."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he hadn't replied yet, so he sat back in a hurry and picked up a pen to write.After writing the letter, tie it on Xiaojin's leg and ask Xiaojin to give it to He Lianfang.

He Lianfang was reading a book, when she heard Xiao Jin's cry, she hurriedly removed the letter from her lap.

Zhao Yao wrote in the letter: He speculates that Yuan Jia Erlang was killed by Uwe and the Southern Wei people, and they will kill Yuan Han next time.Next, is King Han.

His guess was the same as He Lianfang's guess.

He Lianfang was just about to reply when a figure appeared quietly.The movement in his hand paused, and then he took the letter from the hand of the person who appeared out of nowhere.When he read the letter, he smiled inexplicably: "Interesting." After finishing speaking, he instructed the figure, "Follow the princess of Annan Kingdom, if she is in danger, save her."

The figure said hoarsely, "Shouldn't you just take her away?"

He Lianfang said: "No, save her when she is in danger and despair, and then escort her back to An Nanguo."

The figure nodded, and then asked: "What about King Zheng?" King Zheng is the third prince.

"Keep watching, don't startle the snake." He Lianfang ordered again, "Keep an eye on An Nanguo."

"Yes, my lord."

The figure waited for a while, and seeing that He Lianfang didn't order, he disappeared without a sound.

He Lianfang wrote down the news she had just received and asked Xiao Jin to give it to Zhao Yao.

After Zhao Yao read the letter, his face changed drastically again.

Seeing this, Tong Xi's heart skipped a beat, and then he showed a look of panic: "Your Highness, the eldest son of the Yuan family must have been killed too?" Did the Eighth Highness kill Jingyanghou's two sons all at once?

"No, Princess An Nanguo has escaped from the third brother's mansion." Mentioning the third prince, Zhao Yao showed disgust unabashedly.

"What did His Highness King Zheng do?" Tong Xi guessed with horror on his face, "Didn't you whip the princess who abused An Nanguo?"

"It's possible." Zhao Yao raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "With third brother's brutal temperament, he can't do anything."

"Princess An Nanguo is so pitiful." At the beginning, Princess An Nanguo was drugged by His Royal Highness Zheng Wang and lost her body, so she was forced to marry His Royal Highness Zheng Wang.She married His Royal Highness Zheng Wang as a side concubine, and her life was very unhappy. Before that, she wanted to reconcile with Zheng Wang.Now, being abused by His Royal Highness Zheng Wang, he had to escape from Zheng Wang's mansion.His Royal Highness Zheng Wang is a beast.

"Second uncle said that he would send someone to help her secretly and escort her back to An Nanguo safely."

"That would be great." Tong Xi muttered suddenly, "It would be great if His Highness the Eighth Highness could kill His Highness King Zheng." He still remembered that Tong An was tortured by His Highness King Zheng and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well.

"The starling won't touch the Wang family for the time being, so I won't be cruel to the third brother for the time being." He wants to do something.

"The servant girl believes that His Highness King Zheng will have retribution. When the princess of Annan Kingdom returns, she will definitely seek revenge from His Highness King Zheng."

Zhao Yao felt that Tong Xi's idea was too true, so he threw cold water on him and said, "What do you think a princess can do?" Maybe Princess An Nanguo would be sent to Dazhou and back to the third brother after returning.

"Your Highness, will you let His Highness King Zheng go like this?"

"If Princess An Nanguo is smart, then she understands that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." Zhao Yao felt that Princess An Nanguo was not a smart person.When she returned to China, nine out of ten she would not be loved by her father and brother.If she can't get the protection of her grandfather's family, then she can only be sent back to the third brother.

If her maternal grandfather's family kept her, she should endure it for a while, and then plan how to get revenge on the third brother.If she seeks revenge on third brother impulsively, there will be no good results.

Zhao Yao thought for a while and felt that Princess An Nanguo would act impulsively.In order to punish the third brother, and also for the gold mine of Princess An Nanguo's maternal ancestral home, he had to write to his second uncle and ask his second uncle to send someone to help Princess An Nanguo formulate a revenge plan.

After Zhao Yao finished writing the reply, Tong Xi reminded him that it was getting late and asked him to rest quickly.

Thinking of going to see Mr. Meng tomorrow, if he kept yawning because he was too sleepy, it would be too rude and disrespectful to Mr. Meng.He obediently went to rest.

At this time, Jingyang Hou learned that his second son had been killed, his body shook violently, and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he held the table in time.

"Who killed it?" Jingyanghou said with a sullen face and a sinister tone, "Who dared to kill Erlang?"

The housekeeper of the Yuan family reported truthfully: "The owner of the family is a Hun."

"Huns?" A look of suspicion flashed across Jingyanghou's eyes, and then he asked sullenly, "What Huns?"

"I don't know which tribe it is at the moment." The housekeeper of the Yuan family said, "It is definitely the Huns."

The Marquis of Jingyang had all sorts of guesses in his mind, the court of the Xiongnu?A member of King Youxian?A member of King Zuo Xian?Or people from other tribes?
It can't be the right virtuous king's person.King Youxian had a close relationship with their Yuan family, so it was impossible to kill Erlang.

As far as King Zuo Xian is concerned, he probably doesn't know about their relationship between the Yuan family and King You Xian.However, King Zuo Xian should know Erlang's identity, so it is impossible to kill Erlang.

People from the royal court of the Huns are also unlikely, but not impossible.They knew Erlang's identity, so they might be ruthless and provoke Da Zhou.

People from other tribes are very likely.Their Yuan family's business in the Western Regions is very big, which makes some Huns jealous.

"Patriarch, why don't you write to King Youxian and ask him to help with the investigation?" The housekeeper suggested, "If King Youxian investigates, it will be faster than our investigation."

"You're right." Jingyang Hou was too angry and sad, so he didn't think of asking Youxian King to help him investigate.

When Jingyang Hou just picked up the pen and was about to write a letter, he found that his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't write at all.He asked the butler to write the letter for him.

After the housekeeper finished writing the letter, Marquis Jingyang asked him not to tell his family about Erlang's accident for the time being.Wait until Erlang's body is brought back, and then tell the family.

Seeing that Jingyang Hou seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, the butler comforted him, "Patriarch, please pay attention to your body."

"Tell Da Lang about Erlang's murder, and ask him to go to the Western Regions to bring Erlang back." When Jingyanghou said this, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said with a choked voice, "Let him go to see King Youxian."

"Yes, master."

Jingyang Hou Chao waved to the butler, who hurriedly retreated.

After the housekeeper left, Hou Jingyang could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, and wept silently.

After the butler left the study, he sent out the letter that Jingyang Hou had just written.

The letter was sent out of the capital that night, but it was intercepted just as it was sent out of the capital.The messenger was also knocked unconscious.When he woke up, he had a forged letter in his hand.He could only obediently listen to the other party and continue to deliver the letter.

Early the next morning, when the Eighth Prince woke up, Yu Hai handed him the letter from Marquis Jingyang to King Youxian.

After the Eighth Prince read the letter, his face was gloomy and cold.

"Marquis Jingyang and King Youxian are really good brothers!"

Yu Hai was frightened by the eighth prince's stern look, and felt trembling in his heart, he dared not speak out.

"Tell Uwe not to do anything for the time being, and continue to lure the snake out of the hole."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Eighth Prince put this letter away, it will be very useful in the future.

"Your Highness, His Highness the Tenth Highness told the maidservant last night that he will not have breakfast with you today. He wants to sleep late, and then he will follow the emperor to see Mr. Meng."

The Eighth Prince's gloomy face turned bright in an instant, and he smiled slightly: "I guessed that he wouldn't come to have breakfast with me."

"Your Highness knows Tenth Highness."

The eighth prince simply finished his breakfast and went to the Chengguang Hall to attend the morning court.As soon as he arrived at the side hall of Chengguang Hall, he was surrounded by a group of ministers.

These ministers support the prince, and they have a good relationship with the eighth prince on weekdays.They hurriedly asked the eighth prince, why did the emperor not bring the crown prince to see Mr. Meng, but brought the tenth prince?

The Eighth Prince was not surprised that the ministers knew that Zhao Yao was going to see Mr. Meng.He hurriedly said that it was because Zhao Yao made printing techniques and Quyuanli and other things.

The ministers didn't believe this, because they didn't think Zhao Yao's creation of these things was any great, and it was not worthy of Mr. Meng's special opinion on him.

The Eighth Prince sneered in his heart, a bunch of idiots!
After a while, His Highness the Crown Prince came down and asked the Eighth Prince the same thing.

The Eighth Prince told His Highness the Crown Prince exactly what he had just said to the ministers.

After hearing this, His Royal Highness was also a little skeptical.However, after he thought about it, apart from this reason, the tenth brother had nothing to make Mr. Meng specially summon him.

When Dai Wang heard it, he unceremoniously mocked the prince.Said that the prince boasted that he was brilliant, but Mr. Meng never saw him. He was not as good as the tenth brother who was not smart in reading.

The prince was not angry, but praised Zhao Yao for the benefits of the country and the people. He also said that Mr. Meng cared about the people, and it was normal for him to see Zhao Yao.

Following the words of the prince, Dai Wang also praised Zhao Yao, saying that Zhao Yao had done a lot of things to benefit the people at a young age, but the prince, as the heir of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had not done anything for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The ministers who supported the king immediately flattered the king, saying that the king had been helping the great Zhou to quell the chaos all these years.Thanks to him, the people of Dazhou can live a stable life.He also said that Dai Wang has made great contributions, and Mr. Meng should pay a visit to Dai Wang.

Those who supported the prince immediately fought back, saying that Dai Wang was not good at studying and had no literary talent at all.If he meets Mr. Meng, he may not understand what Mr. Meng is saying.

Then, without any accident, the prince's people and the king's people quarreled again.

He Xiang, Grand Master Liu, and Shen Hu drank tea and watched a good show.

After the emperor learned of this, he was not surprised at all.He would be surprised if they weren't arguing.

"Your Majesty, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Dai Wang be jealous of His Highness the Tenth Prince?"

"They don't take Xiao Shi seriously, so they won't be jealous of Xiao Shi." The emperor's tone was sarcasm, "If one of them was called to meet by Mr. Meng, they would be jealous."

"Then His Royal Highness will be fine." After Sun Kui finished speaking, he felt inexplicably sorry for Zhao Yao.

The emperor put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said, "Go to court."

He had just walked a few steps, and said to Sun Kui: "Tell your apprentice to go to Xingde Palace and wake up that brat Xiao Ten." This brat Xiao Ten must be sleeping late.

Sun Kui said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yao, who originally planned to sleep until Sishi, was woken up early by Sun Doudou and Tongxi.After he finished his breakfast, he followed the emperor to Taixue to meet Mr. Meng.On the way to Taixue, Zhao Yao wanted to ask the emperor several times why he didn't grant the Eighth Prince a fiefdom, but in the end he still didn't ask.

Seeing Zhao Yao's hesitant expression several times, the emperor guessed what he wanted to ask, but he pretended not to see it.

When Mr. Meng saw Zhao Yao, his eyes widened for a moment, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

When he was giving a lecture yesterday, Mr. Meng didn't look at Zhao Yao carefully.Seeing Zhao Yao at close range now, he was taken aback.

Although Mr. Meng's expression soon returned to normal, both the emperor and Zhao Yao saw his shocked expression just now.

Zhao Yao muttered in his heart: Why did Mr. Meng see my unbelievable expression?I didn't get anything weird on my face.

The emperor probably guessed what Mr. Meng was surprised about.

Mr. Meng Lao solemnly thanked the emperor for arranging so many things for his lecture.He also said he deserved it.

The emperor said that he just did what he should do, and told Mr. Meng not to care.He also said that Mr. Meng was able to come out of the mountain to give lectures in the capital, which was his blessing and honor as an emperor.

Zhao Yao sat aside, obediently listening to the greetings of the emperor and Mr. Meng.

After chatting with the emperor for a while, Mr. Meng turned his attention to Zhao Yao, stood up and saluted Zhao Yao solemnly.
