The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 310
The Eighth Prince was named King of Wei.Because he wants to stay in the capital to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has not been entrusted with land for the time being.

One month after he became king of Wei, he married Xie Ning, the daughter of a side branch of the Xie family, as the princess.On the day of his wedding, Zhao Yao went with him to meet the bride.

Because of the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo, Wei Wang's wedding ceremony was very lively and grand.His Royal Highness felt that King Wei could not lose to King Chu in his wedding, so he specially supported King Wei.

After Wei Wang got married, he still continued to work with His Highness the Prince.As his ability to handle affairs became stronger and stronger, His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Zhen Guo paid more and more attention to him.Now he has become an indispensable confidant around His Royal Highness.

Not long after he got married, he was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to visit the soldiers in Shu.

Earlier in the morning, the emperor wanted to send someone to visit the soldiers in Zhenshu.Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince recommended King Wei, and the emperor agreed.

Knowing that the king of Wei was going to Shu, Zhao Yao of course wanted to go with him, but the emperor didn't agree.

Before the king of Wei left for Shu, Zhao Yao went to the mansion of the king of Wei on purpose.

Since King Wei got married, Zhao Yao seldom went to Prince Wei's mansion. After all, the young couple had just got married, and it was the time when they were newlyweds. His brother-in-law often went there, which disturbed them too much.He was not blind.

"Brother, is it okay for you to travel long distances to Shu?" Zhao Yao worried that the eighth prince's body would not be able to withstand the hardships of the long journey, "Also, the weather in Shu is different from that in the capital. The climate in Sichuan is hot and humid, can you get used to it?" He was also worried that mynah would not acclimatize to the environment.A few months ago, many of the soldiers who went to Sichuan could not adapt to the weather in Sichuan, and they were not acclimatized.It is said that some soldiers died because of acclimatization.

"Brother was also afraid that my body would not be able to withstand the long journey, so he specially asked the imperial doctor to take my pulse. The imperial doctor said that my body is very good, and there is no problem going to Sichuan." Wei Wang stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhao Yao's head, his face full of pain. He said with a smile, "My body has improved, thanks to your Shiquan Dabu Wan."

"Since the imperial doctor said so, then I can rest assured." It seems that the Shiquan Dabu pill has a very good effect, and it can make mynah travel thousands of miles to Sichuan. "However, mynah, you'd better bring some medicines to treat the acclimatization."

"It's ready." Seeing Zhao Yao worried about him, King Wei felt warm in his eyes, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Brother, this is your first time traveling far away, so of course I'm worried." But, having said that, just a few days after mynah got married, the prince brother asked mynah to go to Sichuan and let eighth sister-in-law stay alone in her empty boudoir. Not so good.

King Wei said softly, "I'll be fine."

"Brother, if you go to Sichuan, do you want to go back to Beijing with General Zhang and the others?" It's not even a few months until the end of the year.The fourth brother and General Zhang have recovered most of the Shu land, and after a while, it is estimated that they will be able to completely capture the Shu land.

"Well, I should come back with General Zhang and the others." Wei Wang said with a smile, "Don't worry, the starling will not forget to bring you delicious and interesting things from Shu."

When Zhao Yao heard this, his eyes became bright instantly, and he said with a happy face, "I knew my starling loved me."

King Wei looked at Zhao Yao who was full of joy, and teased him, "Shall I bring you a cook from Shu?"

Zhao Yao listened, nodded again and again, and said in a very excited tone: "Okay, okay, I heard that the food in Shu is very delicious. Myna, bring me a cook, then I can eat authentic Shu food." There are vegetables."

Wei Wangcai's words were just a joke, but he didn't expect Zhao Yao to take it seriously.He smiled helplessly at first, and then said, "I'm afraid one is not enough, I'll bring you a few more."

"Okay." Zhao Yao said, pointing his fingers, "One is for Sichuan dishes, one is for Sichuan snacks, and the other is for Sichuan special snacks." Then, he raised three fingers to King Wei, "Mynah, You must at least bring back three cooks to me."

King Wei raised his hand and tapped Zhao Yao's forehead lightly, and said amusedly, "I don't think three are enough, or I'll bring you back ten."

Zhao Yao grinned and said, "Brother, if you bring me back a hundred cooks, I don't think it's too many."

King Wei was dumbfounded by Zhao Yao's "brazen" words: "I can't bring back a hundred cooks."

"Actually, one is enough to bring back." Zhao Yao said, suddenly remembering that there are many insects and monsters in Shu, and reminded Wei Wangdao, "Myna, there are many strange and dangerous insects in Shu, be careful when you go there. .”

King Wei nodded lightly and said, "I understand."

Zhao Yao told King Wei again, and then he left the Palace of King Wei.

Myna is leaving for Sichuan tomorrow, so he won't stay to disturb myna and sister-in-law tonight.

Walking out of Prince Wei's mansion, Tong Xi glanced at Zhao Yao strangely: "Your Highness, didn't you have something to invite His Royal Highness King Wei to bring to His Royal Highness Chu? Why didn't you tell His Royal Highness Wei just now?"

"I want to say it, but I dare not say it." Zhao Yao said helplessly while riding on the horse, "It's not that you don't know that the relationship between the starling and the fourth brother is not good. If I ask the starling to bring a message to the fourth brother , what do you think the starling will think?"

Tong Xi forgot about this, and only remembered it after hearing what Zhao Yao said.

"The servant girl forgot that His Royal Highness King Wei and King Chu are not dealing with each other."

"Brother Prince must have known that the relationship between the starling and the fourth brother is not good, so he deliberately sent the starling to Shu." Of course, it is very likely that the starling asked to go to Shu on his own initiative, because there are many people from the Southern Wei Dynasty in Shu. people.

I'm afraid the main purpose of myna's trip this time is not to go to Sichuan, but for certain things.He always felt that Starling was going to do something big when he went out this time.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Chu and King Wei have met, won't they fight?"

"No, the fourth brother and the eighth brother don't even want to say a word to each other, how could they fight." The fourth brother and the eighth brother are really tired of looking at each other. As if looking at each other will make you blind.

"Then after King Wei goes to Shu, will he speak ill of His Highness Chu in secret, and give His Highness Chu shoes to wear?" His Royal Highness went to Shu not only to visit the soldiers who suppressed Shu, but also to monitor them. His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Who knows." Zhao Yao said with a slight sigh, "I can't get involved in the matter between the mynah and the fourth brother." He didn't dare to mention the fourth brother in front of the mynah.

"His Royal Highness King Wei and King Chu both treat you well. If anything happens to any of them, you will be sad." Tong Xi also sighed, "I hope that His Highness Wei King and His Highness King Chu will be well, so that your Highness will be fine." Don't worry about it."

"I hope." I hope that after the starling goes to Sichuan, he won't do anything to prevent the fourth brother from fighting with peace of mind.

Zhao Yao went to He Lianfang's house and told He Lianfang about his distress.

After He Lianfang heard this, she rolled her eyes at Zhao Yao who had a troubled face.

"Your starling belongs to the prince. Of course he has a purpose in going to Sichuan. It is impossible to do nothing."

"What will the crown prince ask the myna to do, sabotage the actions of the fourth brother and make the fourth brother lose the battle?" After the fourth brother went to Sichuan, he has been winning battles and never losing a battle. He is really powerful, not at all like The appearance of leading troops to fight on the battlefield for the first time.The ministers who supported the fourth brother had been bragging about the ability of the fourth brother to lead troops to fight some time ago.

To be honest, this is a bit embarrassing, because the ministers who support the Dai Wang boasted the Dai Wang like this, saying that the Dai Wang was completely carved out of the same mold as his father when he was young.Let's not talk about what the father was like when he was young. The second brother and the fourth brother are both the sons of the father. Isn't it normal for them to look like the father?

Although he always thought that his father was a bad fart, he had to admit that his father was very powerful when he was young.To be honest, no matter whether it is the second brother or the fourth brother, he is not as good as his father when he was young.

"The crown prince doesn't have the guts." He Lianfang said mockingly, "If the crown prince asks the king of Wei to do something to disrupt the war in Shu, the crown prince probably won't want to do it."

"That's right, the prince brother should ask the starling to secretly collect some bad rumors about the fourth brother, or make some false things to frame the fourth brother." Zhao Yao frowned and guessed, "After the fourth brother returns to Beijing, then give the fourth brother Brother come to settle accounts after autumn."

He Lianfang said: "That's a good guess."

Zhao Yao suddenly sneered and said, "If the prince's brother makes such an idea, then he will make a mistake. With the temperament of the fourth brother, he will never give anyone a chance to make mistakes." The fourth brother works steadily and carefully.When he learned that the starling was going to Sichuan, he would not be unprepared.

"Then it depends on whether King Wei has the ability to find fault."

Hearing what He Lianfang said, Zhao Yao couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.He was worried that He Lianfang would ask him about starlings, but he didn't expect He Lianfang to ask, which made him feel relieved.

"The crown prince asked the king of Wei to go to Shu, and there is another purpose." He Lianfang didn't continue, but raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Yao.

Hearing this, Zhao Yao reacted quickly and said, "Let the starling inquire about the situation in Shu, see if he can take Shu into his pocket, and then send his people to Shu."

He Lianfang nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

"The land of Shu is a piece of fat." He read the local chronicles about the land of Shu before, and described the land of Shu as a land of abundance.Shu land is rich in products, not inferior to Liangzhou at all.Not only that, but there are many things in Shu that are not found in other places, such as a lot of iron and copper in Shu.During the years when Shu was occupied by Han Zhong, Han Zhong forged many weapons and coins in Shu.The coins used in the land of Shu are not the Wen coins of Da Zhou, but the coins minted by Han Zhong.

"The Land of Abundance is naturally not bad." He Lianfang said, "The geographical location of Shu is also very good. If you do something secretly in Shu, it's hard to be noticed."

"Imperial father probably won't reward the land of Shu as a fiefdom to my brothers." Zhao Yao speculated, "After taking back the land with great difficulty, imperial father will definitely send someone he trusts to take over the land."

"Your father should send someone to assist Han Zhong's eldest son in managing Shu, and he will also send troops to station in Shu." He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao and asked, "Who do you think your father will send to assist Han Zhong's eldest son in Shu?" , who will be stationed in Shu?"

"Let me think about it." Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "I think the father will not only send people he trusts, but also send officials from the aristocratic family to Shu. As for who will be stationed in Shu, it must be General Zhang. people."

With his father's bad temper, he would never let go of such a good opportunity to let the dogs of the aristocratic family bite the dogs.For the aristocratic families, the land of Shu is also a piece of fat, and they want to swallow it directly, without giving any family a chance.

After He Lianfang listened, she reminded Zhao Yao, "You missed one person."

"One less person?" Zhao Yao was puzzled at first, but immediately reacted, "Second Uncle, you mean that Father Emperor will arrange for Fourth Brother's people to go to Sichuan?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Zhao Yao frowned, and his face changed greatly: "If this is the case, then fourth brother..." He paused for a while, and then continued with a heavy tone, "The prince and the king are really I will not let the fourth brother go."

"Do you think the crown prince will join forces with Dai Wang to get rid of the Chu king?"

"No, the Crown Prince and Dai Wang will not join forces." Zhao Yao felt that He Lianfang's words were a little scary, "They are deadly enemies, how could they join hands. They will just stand by and watch one party deal with the fourth brother, and then take advantage of the other party's not paying attention. When the time comes, kill him and get rid of the other party and the fourth brother." It is more difficult for the crown prince and Dai Wang to cooperate.

He Lianfang asked: "What do you think the King of Chu will do?"

"Fourth brother..." Zhao Yao squeezed his chin, thought for a while and said, "Actually, with the temperament of fourth brother, he is not willing to fight with the prince and the king. Rather than fighting for power, he prefers to do practical things to let the people Have a good time."

"If you say that, the King of Chu may not be able to fight against the Crown Prince and Dai Wang."

"That's not true. Although the fourth brother doesn't like to play tricks, it doesn't mean he can't. On the contrary, with the intelligence of the fourth brother, he is very good at it." Zhao Yao is full of confidence in King Chu, "The fourth brother is really with the prince. If you fight on behalf of the king, you will never lose."

"You have confidence in King Chu."

Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Of course I have confidence in my fourth brother."

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao, and asked with great interest, "What about King Wei?"

Zhao Yao, who had just drank tea, heard He Lianfang's question, so surprised that the tea choked into his throat, and then coughed violently: "Cough cough cough cough..." He just heard something.

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao with some disgust, and then continued to ask: "How do you think the King of Chu is better than the King of Wei?"

Second uncle knows about starling? !How and when did he know? ! ! !
Wait, he seems to have never mentioned the matter of starling in front of the second uncle, the second uncle he... he he he...

Seeing Zhao Yao's terrified expression, He Lianfang mocked, "You think I don't know if you don't talk about King Wei."

Zhao Yao froze, staring at He Lianfang blankly.

He Lianfang looked at him without speaking.

Zhao Yao came back to his senses, and asked with a look of shock: "Second Uncle, how did you know?"

He Lianfang looked at the astonished Zhao Yao with idiot eyes: "Why do you think I don't know?"

Zhao Yao hiccupped in his heart. He always thought that if he didn't say anything, the second uncle would not notice the starling who had no sense of existence.Now it seems he was naive.

He was just about to speak when he heard He Lianfang say: "The King of Wei has close contacts with the people of Southern Wei, do you think I won't notice?"

Zhao Yao froze for a moment, then smiled embarrassingly: "I really thought you didn't know about myna, my second uncle. After all, myna is with the prince."

He Lianfang felt that she was underestimated by Zhao Yao, and said with an angry smile, "Do you think I look like a fool?"

Zhao Yao shook his head quickly: "It's not like." After finishing speaking, he quickly said, "I'm a fool, I thought you didn't know about the second uncle." The second uncle has been investigating the affairs of the people in the Southern Wei Dynasty. How could it be that mynah has an unclear relationship with people from the Southern Wei Dynasty.

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao coldly, and asked, "Come on, tell me why you are hiding the matter of King Wei."

"This...that's a long story."

"Then make a long story short."

Seeing He Lianfang staring at him coldly, Zhao Yao would not let him go if he didn't say anything.He could only tell He Lianfang the reason for concealing it.

After hearing this, He Lianfang satirized Zhao Yao unceremoniously: "You are really protecting your starling."

Zhao Yao sat down obediently like a child who made a mistake.

"I'm not defending mynah, or..." He didn't know what to say. "These things mynah did are all my guesses, there is no evidence, so I can't say." To be honest, he still has no evidence to prove that mynah did those things.

"Since you have no evidence, why do you think it was the King of Wei who did it?"

"I didn't doubt myna at first. I thought myna was really attached to the prince. Later, when the prince was assassinated, myna was seriously injured and almost died in order to save the prince. I doubted myna." Zhao Yao explained his initial doubts one by one. Ten days told He Lianfang.

"You are alert."

"Second Uncle, I really didn't deliberately hide from you. You never told me about myna, how could I tell you about myna?" Zhao Yao lowered his head, poked his left index finger with his right index finger, "I thought you I don’t like starlings, if I tell you about starlings, you won’t believe me.”

He Lianfang sneered twice, of course he didn't believe Zhao Yao's words.

Zhao Yao was guilty of seeing He Lianfang's sharp eyes, he smiled flatteringly at He Lianfang: "Second Uncle, you mentioned Mynah to me today, so I just told you."

He Lianfang glared at Zhao Yao, and didn't bother with him to hide the matter.

"Tell me, what else did you guess?"

"The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty unconditionally support myna's fight for the throne..." Zhao Yao told He Lianfang what he had guessed about King Wei without any concealment.Of course, it also includes the fact that Uwe is from the Southern Wei Dynasty.

After hearing this, He Lianfang was shocked.He didn't expect Zhao Yao to guess all the things that the eighth prince did just through suspicion, and guessed all of them correctly.

Seeing that He Lianfang looked at him strangely, Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "Second Uncle, what's the matter, did I guess wrong?"

"No, you guessed everything right." Although He Lianfang looked normal, she was shocked. "Your starling is from the Southern Wei Dynasty."

"What?" Zhao Yao stood up in shock, and said with a shocked expression, "How could the starling be from the Southern Wei Dynasty?"

"Your starling's biological mother is from the Southern Wei Dynasty."

Zhao Yao was astonished, and his tone was full of disbelief: "Myna's biological mother is an ordinary court lady, how could she be from the Southern Wei Dynasty?"

"She is from the Southern Wei Dynasty, and she was sent into the palace specially to climb onto your father's dragon bed, give birth to a dragon son, and then ascend to the throne." He Lianfang said, "Otherwise, why do you think the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty would assist you unconditionally?" King Wei, you have done so many things for King Wei."

Zhao Yao suddenly said: "No wonder, I have been wondering why people in the Southern Wei Dynasty support mynah so much." He always thought that people in the Southern Wei Dynasty supported mynah, not only because of his cleverness and means, but also because of his lack of power support.Now it seems that he thought too simply.

Wait, the reason why my father dislikes mynah so much is because mynah's biological mother is from the Southern Wei Dynasty?
"Second uncle, does the emperor know that myna's biological mother is from the Southern Wei Dynasty?"

"Do you think your father doesn't know?"

"Sure enough!"

"When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, apart from the eighth prince's biological mother, there were other people from the Southern Wei Dynasty in the palace." He Lianfang continued, "During the years when your father was enthroned, besides being busy with state affairs, he was also busy cleaning the palace. people from the Southern Wei Dynasty."

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of another very important thing.He was shocked and asked: "Does the father know about myna?"
