The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

The results of the investigation into His Royal Highness Chen's assassination and death came out soon.Sure enough, as Zhao Yao and He Lianfang had expected, it was finally found out that it was killed by the rebel army, and the Southern Wei Dynasty was not involved.

The Eighth Prince and the others were impeccable in their work, and it was impossible to leave any clues pointing to the Southern Wei Dynasty.Even if the Eighth Prince and the others accidentally exposed some falsehoods pointing to the Southern Wei Dynasty, the emperor would not announce to the public that it was the Southern Wei people.

The word "Southern Wei" was not only a taboo in the former dynasty, but also a taboo in the Great Zhou Dynasty.However, not many officials and common people in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew the existence of the "Southern Wei Dynasty". After all, the Southern Wei Dynasty was exterminated in the previous dynasty, and their existence was basically erased afterwards.

Now the only people in the court who know the existence of the Southern Wei Dynasty are the officials of the aristocratic family.

The family has a long history, they know many things that have disappeared or been lost, and even know some secrets of the royal family that are not known to the public.

Although the aristocratic families knew about the Southern Wei Dynasty, they didn't dare to mention it. Apart from avoiding the taboo, there was another reason, which was that they felt bad luck.

Zhao Yao and He Lianfang found out some things about the Southern Wei Dynasty, which were superficial things.They didn't find out about the real secrets of the Southern Wei Dynasty.The real Southern Wei Dynasty was even more... amazing than they imagined!
The emperor did not mention the Southern Wei Dynasty, not because he disliked the bad luck of the Southern Wei Dynasty, but for other reasons.Of course, the emperor didn't like the Southern Wei Dynasty, and it could even be said that he hated it.

Even if he knew that the culprit behind His Royal Highness Chen's assassination was from the Southern Wei Dynasty, the emperor would pretend not to know.As the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty wished, he pushed the mastermind behind this incident to the rebel army.

It cannot be said that His Royal Highness Chen's assassination has nothing to do with the rebel army.The person who assassinated him was indeed a rebel army, and he was a subordinate of the notorious Jiao Shan.

When Jiao Shan was in the previous dynasty, he was a notorious rebel army.In the name of an uprising, he burned and looted everywhere.His methods are very cruel. Every time he goes to a place, he will slaughter everyone in the place, even the infants.When there was no food in the previous dynasty, he still raised "vegetable people".

Before the emperor removed him, he was very powerful in Hebei at that time, and he established himself as emperor, using his surname "Jiao" as the country name.

At that time, many rebels took refuge in Jiaoshan.Jiao Shan accepted everyone, and after following Jiao Shan, these people also became cruel.

The emperor led the four generals, that is, Shen Hu and the others to exterminate Jiao Shan and the others.Of course, Jiao Shan and his group were not the emperor's opponents, and they were soon wiped out.However, some of his men took the opportunity to escape at that time.

Over the years, Dazhou has eliminated many rebels, large and small, but they have not been eradicated completely, and some have slipped through the net.These fish that escaped the net did not make a fortune and became bandits, or horse bandits.

The bandits who assassinated His Highness Chen Wang were a small group of rebels who escaped from Hebei back then.They have been hiding in the mountains all these years, coming out to rob from time to time.

Knowing their existence, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty cooperated with them and let them assassinate His Royal Highness Chen Wang.

This group of people hated Da Zhou, and they were very happy when they learned that they were going to assassinate Da Zhou's prince.

Of course, after they assassinated His Highness King Chen, they were all killed, not a single one was alive, and the corpses disappeared.The emperor sent people to look for these rebels but they couldn't find them.

Many ministers in the court did not believe that His Highness Chen's death was caused by the rebellion army. They suspected that the assassin was someone else, but they did not expect that the final investigation result was the rebellion army.

The emperor ordered people from Tingwei's Mansion to investigate, and it was impossible to cheat.Besides, given 1 guts to the Tingwei Mansion, they wouldn't dare to hide the truth.

For such a result, the ministers were surprised at first, and could not believe the truth of the matter.Then, they were relieved.If the truth of the matter is as conspiratorial as they suspect, they will be restless.Now that they know that the mastermind behind His Royal Highness Chen's assassination is really a rebel army, not someone or some people in the court, then they don't have to worry.Especially the third prince and the others.

The court, which had become somewhat depressed due to the death of His Highness Chen Wang, has now returned to normal.The officials in the court once again focused their attention on the king of Chu going to recover the land of Shu.

After finding out the truth behind the assassination of His Royal Highness, King Chen was buried.Because he was a prince during his lifetime, he could no longer be crowned after his death, so he could only continue to be buried according to the specifications of a prince's funeral.

Zhao Yao has no feelings for His Royal Highness Chen Wang, the sixth brother.For his death, Zhao Yao had no sympathy, because His Royal Highness Chen Wang also colluded with You Xian Wang a few years ago.

After learning about this incident, Zhao Yao finally understood why the emperor was indifferent to the death of King Chen.

If King Chen is still alive, he will use the power of King Youxian to snatch the throne from other princes in the future.At that time, I am afraid that several cities on the border of Dazhou will be given to King Youxian.Of course, this is Zhao Yao's guess.They have no way of knowing what agreement there is between King Chen and King Youxian.

"Second Uncle, do you think Father knows about the existence of the Southern Wei Dynasty?" Also, does Father know about myna?
He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao, and said calmly, "Why don't you ask your father personally."

"Uh..." Zhao Yao wrinkled his small face, with a troubled expression, "I don't know how to ask."

"It's hard to ask?" He Lianfang raised her brows in surprise when she heard this, "Why is it hard to ask?"

Zhao Yao scratched the back of his head with a tangled face: "This...it's a bit hard to say..."

He Lianfang was very surprised by Zhao Yao's reaction.He asked with interest: "Why is it hard to say, what happened between you and your father?"

Zhao Yao carefully chose his words: "I feel a little awkward, so I can't ask."

"awkward?"

"Before, I always felt that my father didn't love my little son, and I also thought that I didn't please my father."

He Lianfang's expression became very strange when he heard this.

The emperor doesn't like him?Where did he see it?
Zhao Yao continued: "I still think the mother concubine is the same, and then I think that if our mother and son want to live well in the palace, we have to pretend to be harmless and useless, so as not to get involved in the imperial concubine. Brothers are fighting for the throne, so I did a lot of things secretly."

Only then did He Lianfang understand why Zhao Yao did so many things secretly at such a young age.

"I just think that my father doesn't like my youngest son, so I don't like him either, and then I don't have to try to please my father. When I become an adult queen, I will go to my fief. At that time, I will stay away from the capital and my father. Keep the emperor far away, and be a father and son pair with him."

He Lianfang suppressed a smile and said, "You really think so?"

Zhao Yao said with some embarrassment: "I really thought so before."

"Generally speaking, your father doesn't like you. Shouldn't you try your best to please your father? Why don't you want to please your father?" Children will try their best to please their parents and elders. It's really the first time I've seen Zhao Yao's attitude of "you don't love me, why should I please you" like Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao asked back: "Why should I work so hard to do such a thankless thing?"

"You should know that there will be many benefits for you to please your father, for example, it will make your life in the palace easier for you and your mother."

"It's not rare, my concubine mother and I just want to live in the palace well, and don't want to attract attention."

When He Lianfang heard this answer, he was slightly taken aback, and then he asked with an inexplicable expression: "You don't care if your father likes you or not?"

Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "I don't care, because I have long known that the father is not my father alone. He has ten sons, and it must be uneven for a bowl of water. Besides, ten fingers are still long or short." He used to He really didn't want to please his father in the past, he wished that his father would never care about his little son. "Others treat me well, so I will treat others well. Others treat me badly, why should I treat others well."

He Lianfang was in a complicated mood at the moment, but he didn't show it on his face.He asked again: "How did you know that your father is not as unloving to you as you imagined?"

"It was that time when Concubine Rong sent someone to assassinate Concubine Ying in the Taoist temple, and then I was implicated in it, and when I was almost silenced by the assassin, four hidden guards suddenly appeared. From then on, I knew that the royal father had been sending secret guards secretly Protect me." Zhao Yao licked his face and said, "I also know that the father doesn't care about my little son."

He Lianfang asked a little puzzled when he heard the words: "You know your father cares about you so much, shouldn't you be happy? Why do you feel awkward?"

"There is joy, but I also know why my father didn't show his love for me on the surface, so I have been pretending that I don't know anything in the past few years, and continue to treat my father the same as before."

When He Lianfang heard this, she finally figured out what Zhao Yao was awkward about.

"You dare not get close to your father?"

Zhao Yao nodded first, then shook his head again.

He Lianfang was confused by Zhao Yao, and asked angrily, "Are you daring or not?"

"Second Uncle, it's not a matter of daring or not, but..." Zhao Yao scratched his head in embarrassment, "I haven't been close to my father since I was a child, but suddenly let me get close to him, I can't do it, and it's really hard awkward."

He Lianfang had never seen Zhao Yao getting along with the emperor.However, after hearing what Zhao Yao said, he somewhat understood what he meant.

"After all, you still dare not get close."

Zhao Yao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with his shoulders down: "It's possible, actually, I'm not afraid of Father, but if you want me to tell Father everything, just like me and Second Uncle, I If you can't do it, it just feels weird." He clearly knew that his father loved him, but he just couldn't be as close and honest with his father as he was with his second uncle. "To tell you the truth, I would rather my father would not care about my little son like I thought before."

He Lianfang laughed at the emperor in his heart.He must tell the emperor what he said.

"So, my son seems to be very ignorant." However, he really felt strange.

He Lianfang took a deep look at Zhao Yao, and immediately said sharply: "You are afraid that your father's love for you is fake, that your father's love for you is temporary, and you are still afraid that you and you After your father got close, your father didn't get close to you, so you would rather your father never spoiled you."

"Is that so?" Zhao Yao never thought about it that way.

"You said you don't care whether your father loves you or not, but that's not the case. When you were young, did you really think about why your father didn't love you? You really never thought about getting your father's favor like Dai Wang ?”

Zhao Yao was stopped by questioning.He said after a while, "Maybe I have thought about it." However, he didn't remember.He had a serious illness that year, and after having another person's memory in his mind, he didn't quite remember what happened before the illness.

"There is another reason why you are afraid, and that is that your father is the emperor." He Lianfang said, "A companion is like a tiger, so you dare not get close to your father."

"Ah, is that so?" Zhao Yao thought for a while, and felt that what He Lianfang said made some sense.

He Lianfang sighed in her heart: I didn't expect this child to be so wary.

"There's nothing wrong with you thinking so."

"Then am I right to think so?" Zhao Yao didn't tell Concubine Liang these words just now.

"That's right." He Lianfang said with a smile, "How you treated your father before, you will still treat him in the future. There is no need to change your attitude."

Zhao Yao felt that what He Lianfang said was right, but it seemed wrong.

"Second uncle, is it really good for me to treat my father like this?" He felt a little white-eyed.

"Very good." He Lianfang persuaded Zhao Yao, "You have to know one thing. Your father is the emperor of the Great Zhou first, and then your father. Even if you are close to your father, you can't talk to him about everything. He said."

Zhao Yao understands a little bit, but also doesn't quite understand it.However, what the second uncle said was right.

"I see." It's still the same as before, he doesn't need to go out of his way to get close to his father, but to ask his father something.

"You dare not get close to your father, how dare you get close to me?" He Lianfang thought that he didn't look like an amiable person. Most people would be afraid of him when they saw him, and few people dared to get close to him.

"I think Second Uncle, you have a kind face."

"I have a good face?" He Lianfang never expected that one day, someone would say that he has a good face.

Zhao Yao said with a smile: "For me, Second Uncle, you are kind-hearted, and I can't help being close."

His words brought back memories of He Lianfang.He remembered that the first time he met the lord, what the lord said to him was, "This kid looks kind, and he is destined to be with me."

"I'm not nice."

Zhao Yao nodded and agreed: "For other people, you must not be kind, Second Uncle."

He Lianfang didn't want to talk about his unkind face anymore, so she changed the subject to talk about the Jingyang Hou Mansion.

During this period of time, the Jingyang Hou Mansion was miserable.Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, and the Jingyang Hou Mansion was bullied a bit miserably.

Although Jingyanghou's disciples have means, but except for the eldest son, no one listens to him.Furthermore, the eldest son of the concubine did not listen to the others.

The eldest son of the concubine has no majesty in the Jingyang Hou Mansion, and he cannot restrain other people.In addition to being bullied by other aristocratic families, the Jingyang Hou Mansion also had internal strife.The other bastards wanted to take the opportunity to seize power, and so did the offshoots.

While talking, the butler came in and handed He Lianfang a note.

After seeing it, He Lianfang frowned, and said, "The servants who were reused by the Marquis of Jingyang have been kicked out of the mansion."

"What, you were kicked out of the Jingyang Marquis Mansion?"

He Lianfang said meaningfully: "The eldest son of the concubine is ill, and now the Jingyang Hou Mansion is under the control of the fourth son."

"No surprise." The eldest son of the Jingyang Hou Mansion has no prestige, and it is normal for the other sons to disobey him, and it is not surprising that he wants to replace him. "It seems that the Jingyang Hou Mansion staged a big show today." I don't know if myna and the others have found evidence that the Jingyang Hou Mansion colluded with the Xiongnu.

After chatting with He Lianfang for a while, Zhao Yao left.

After he left, He Lianfang immediately passed on his words to the emperor in the palace, and laughed at the emperor severely.

After the emperor saw it, he angrily scolded Zhao Yao as "little heartless".

"Your Majesty, what did His Royal Highness do to make you so angry?"

"This brat told He Lianfang that he would rather I not love him." The emperor was angry and wronged.

"Impossible, how could the Tenth Highness say such words, it must be the one who sowed discord."

"It must be so." The emperor said through gritted teeth, "I'm going to find him now."

When seeing the emperor appearing in front of him, He Lianfang was not surprised at all, and laughed at him very loudly.

Zhao Yao: It's really weird.

Emperor: Brat, what's wrong with you?

He Lianfang: In your son's heart, you, a father, are not as close as an outsider like me, hahaha...

Emperor: How angry.

Finally, ask the veterans for a monthly pass!
