The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

"You know better than me how much benefit the new salt can bring." He Lianfang stretched out her hand on the brazier to warm it.Although the winter in Shuma Mansion is much warmer than that in the capital, He Lianfang had injured her body in her early years and was afraid of the cold in winter, so she had to keep herself warm when the weather got cold.

Zhao Yao naturally knew the huge benefits brought by the new salt.He frowned slightly and said, "Fourth brother and eighth brother won't take any chances with my new salt."

"Where are King Dai and King Jing?" He Lianfang reminded Zhao Yaodao, "They are short of money."

Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "It's none of my business that they are short of money. Besides, I'm not close to them. Even if they want my new salt, they still have to see if I ignore them."

"They can't do it clearly, but they can do it in the dark."

"Can they still steal it by force?" Zhao Yao is not afraid of King Dai and King Jing. "Besides, my father has sent people to make new salt elsewhere. The new salt I make here next year will become unsatisfactory." valuable."

"You should know their methods in your heart." He Lianfang felt that Zhao Yao could not rely on himself to be in Lingnan, thinking that he would be safe far away from the capital. "Even if they can't come up with new salt, what about glass and mirrors?"

Zhao Yao's eyes suddenly sharpened and his tone was cold: "If they really have an idea for me, then don't blame me for being rude." He was not a soft persimmon and allowed them to manipulate him.

"After you deliver the glass and mirror to the capital, various calculations will follow." He Lianfang used a poker to stir the charcoal in the brazier, "You have to be prepared."

Zhao Yao nodded slightly and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, I know what's going on." He really wasn't worried at all about the schemes of King Dai and King Jing.Even if he is not in the court, Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother are there.They will stop the conspiracy of the DPRK for him.

"You have been in Marsh Mansion for a while. You have done a lot of things during this time. Have you ever thought that what you do cannot be hidden from King Wei?"

When Zhao Yao heard what He Lianfang said, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a dark expression: "Second uncle, what do you mean?"

"Do you think you can hide the things you did in Marsh Mansion from the King of Wei?" He Lianfang said with a calm expression, "There are people from the Southern Wei Dynasty in Marsh Mansion, you won't forget it, right?"

Zhao Yao frowned, "What I am doing now, even if the people of Southern Wei know it, even if Bago knows it, it doesn't matter." What he is doing now does not involve secrets that cannot be known.

"What about the future?" He Lianfang asked, "You should know the skills of the Southern Wei people."

"Second uncle, do you mean to kill the Southern Wei people sent by Bage?"

"You don't want to kill?" He Lianfang meant to get rid of the Southern Wei people while they still don't know anything, so as to avoid long nights and nightmares.

Zhao Yao said nothing.

"Do you want your brother to know what you did in Lingnan?"

Of course Zhao Yao didn't want to.

"Second uncle, even if I kill all the Southern Wei people in Marsh Mansion now, no Southern Wei people will come to Marsh Mansion again or go to other Lingnan prefectures in the future?" Zhao Yao raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, "Could it be that they Come once, and I’ll kill you once?”

He Lianfang said expressionlessly: "People from the Southern Wei Dynasty cannot stay."

"The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty have not done anything detrimental to the Zhou Dynasty or the people." Zhao Yao sighed softly and said, "Besides, I don't have the ability to kill all the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty now." Even if he could If I can kill all the people in the Southern Wei Dynasty, Bage will definitely be alerted by then, and Bage will still know everything by then.

"Actually, I have known for a long time that what I did cannot be hidden from Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother." Zhao Yao knew in his heart that the things he did could only be hidden from Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother for a while.As time goes by, Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother will surely realize that what he is doing is not simple. "Having said that, if the fourth brother and the eighth brother never discovered what I did, then the fourth brother and the eighth brother would be too stupid."

"At the beginning, I asked you to distance yourself from the King of Chu and the King of Wei, but you didn't listen." He Lianfang had long warned Zhao Yao to stay away from the King of Chu and the King of Wei. "You have been pretending to be crazy in front of them. When they realize that you have been deceiving them in the future, what do you think they will think?"

Zhao Yao defended himself fiercely: "I didn't deceive them, nor did I pretend to be crazy in front of them. I just didn't tell them some things."

He added: "Besides, Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother also hide a lot of things from me, so we can be considered half-balanced."

After hearing Zhao Yao's sophistry, He Lianfang sarcastically said, "What's the use of saying this to me."

"Even if Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother find out what I did soon, they probably won't turn against me." Zhao Yao said this without much confidence, "I won't compete with them for the throne."

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao who was deceiving himself in a funny way: "Do you think your good fourth brother and eighth brother will think like you do?"

"Second uncle, I believe that fourth brother and eighth brother will not doubt my intentions." Zhao Yao's expression suddenly became very serious, "I believe in the friendship between our brothers."

"Friendship?" He Lianfang was amused by Zhao Yao's words. He sneered, "The friendship between you brothers is full of deception. Do you think your brotherhood is more affectionate than that of Jin Jian?"

Zhao Yao was left speechless by He Lianfang's question.

"If you really believed in the King of Chu and the King of Wei, you wouldn't keep deceiving them." He Lianfang sharply tore through Zhao Yao's self-deception, "You should have told the King of Chu and the King of Wei that what you have done these years Everything." As he spoke, his tone became aggressive, "But are you willing? Do you dare?" Faced with He Lianfang's aggressive questions, Zhao Yao couldn't say even a single word.

"Zhao Yao, you said you did so many things to protect yourself, how many people do you think will believe you?" He Lianfang continued to press, "Will the King of Chu and the King of Wei really believe that you have no intention of seizing your legitimate son? You have hidden so many things from them, even more things than they have done, do you really think they will believe you?"

Zhao Yao continued to remain silent.

"Everything you have done over the years, in everyone's eyes, was done for the purpose of seizing the legitimate son." Of course, He Lianfang knew that Zhao Yao had no intention of seizing the legitimate son. The reason why he pressed so hard actually had an ulterior motive. "When the King of Chu and the King of Wei find out what you have done, they will only think that you are pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and they will think that you are unfathomable."

Zhao Yao looked at He Lianfang silently.After a while, a wry smile appeared on his face: "Second uncle, you have said so much, what do you really want to say?"

He Lianfang put away her sharpness and asked as usual: "What do you think?"

"Second uncle, you know that I have no desire to seize my legitimate son, and I don't want to be the emperor. The reason why I have done so many things over the years is so that I can live freely." If he wants to live freely, he He has to plan everything for himself so that no one can do anything to him.

"I know what it's for." He Lianfang poured cold water on it, "Your royal brothers won't believe you."

"Even if Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother don't believe me in the future and decide that I am a scheming person and turn against me, then I will admit it." Zhao Yao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I believe that time will tell people's hearts. In the future, Fourth Brother And Bago and the others will believe that I really have no intention of seizing my direct descendant and will not pose a threat to them."

"Zhao Yao, if it were you, you would know that the brother you have always cared about is not stupid, but is far-sighted. He went to Lingnan to cultivate his own power, and then his power became stronger and stronger. Would you feel at ease?" He Lianfang His tone became sharp again, "Will you always believe that he has no rebellious intentions?"

"I……"

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed?" He Lianfang said in a cold tone, "Even if your good fourth brother and eighth brother are big-hearted and believe you, will their sons trust you? Will the ministers in the court believe you? "

"Second uncle, you told me about this matter before I arrived at Marsh Mansion, and successfully persuaded me to agree to secretly raise [-] private soldiers." Zhao Yao stared at He Lianfang in confusion and confusion, "Second uncle, you are considered an old man now. Again, what do you want me to do, do you want me to raise another hundred thousand private soldiers?"

"Zhao Yao, the purpose of what I just said to you is to remind you that just because you don't want to seize the legitimate son, it does not mean that you will not be involved in the seizing of the legitimate son. It is true that you are not involved now, but you will be forced to get involved in the future. Among them." He Lianfang added, "Sometimes, you will even be forced to seize the legitimate son, because if you don't fight, you will die."

When Zhao Yao heard this, his heart suddenly sank, and his face instantly turned cold.

"Zhao Zheng loves you very much, but can he protect you mother and son forever?" Now that he has arrived in Lingnan, He Lianfang does not intend to turn a blind eye to what he did like before in the capital. He has to work harder Set the fire. "Zhao Zheng will grow old and get sick. What will Concubine Liang do in the palace then?"

Zhao Yao's face turned gloomy as a result of He Lianfang's words.

"I am telling you this not to ask you to seize the direct descendant, but to make you always prepared to seize the direct descendant." He Lianfang slowed down and said, "When you are forced to seize the direct descendant, you will not be helpless."

After hearing this, Zhao Yao's expression became strange: "Second uncle, didn't you just say that what I have done over the years seems to be to seize the direct descendants, so what preparations should I make?"

"I'm talking about your heart." He Lianfang pointed at Zhao Yao's heart with a poker, "Your heart is not ready to seize the throne at any time."

"I had no intention of competing for that seat, and my heart certainly wasn't prepared for it."

"Then you can prepare now."

Zhao Yao: "Second uncle, I don't think it will reach this point."

He Lianfang laughed angrily at Zhao Yao's words: "Zhao Yao, are you deliberately pretending to be naive with me, or do you want to keep deceiving yourself and others?"

Zhao Yao's face turned stiff and he smiled awkwardly: "Second uncle, your words are particularly sharp tonight."

"If I don't wake you up, you won't have a good life next year." He Lianfang gently tapped Zhao Yao's head with a poker, "Stop hiding your ears and stealing the bell."

Zhao Yao said helplessly: "Second uncle, you are really my good second uncle."

"Being in the royal family, there are many things you cannot help but have, and there are also many things you have to do." He Lianfang's tone became gentle, "You should know it in your heart."

"Alas..." Zhao Yao sighed, his face full of melancholy.It's because he knows everything in his heart that he keeps deceiving himself.

"In the future, I will wake you up from time to time." Now that we have come to Lingnan, the matter of seizing the legitimate son should be put on the agenda, and Xiao Shi can no longer be allowed to let this kid go undisciplined.

Zhao Yao: I really don’t want to seize the throne, let alone become the emperor. Why doesn’t anyone believe me?
He Lianfang: Ghost letter.
