The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 536 Arrival in Beijing
In a dilapidated house somewhere in the northern city of Beijing, the King of Chu and the King of Wei sat face to face.

This time it was King Wei who was looking for King Chu. He asked straight to the point: "Do you know the whereabouts of your tenth brother?"

King Chu guessed that King Wei was looking for him for this matter, "No, didn't you have someone in Jiangnan? They didn't find the tenth brother?"

King Wei felt that King Chu said this on purpose, and looked at him with cold eyes: "I have no one in Jiangnan."

After hearing what King Wei said, King Chu seemed to have just remembered that such a thing happened.

"I forgot, all your people have withdrawn to foreign countries."

Since King Chu had no whereabouts of Zhao Yao, King Wei was too lazy to say another word to him. He stood up immediately and prepared to leave.

The King of Chu suddenly said: "It was the Xun family who sent someone to assassinate the tenth brother."

King Chu's words stopped King Wei as he walked to the door. He suddenly turned around and looked at King Chu, "The Xun family sent people to assassinate the tenth brother. Did Lao Wu do it?" Ever since King Wei removed his people As a foreigner, he had no informants in Jiangnan and did not know about Zhao Yao's assassination.

"The tenth brother should have evidence that the King of Han colluded with the third princess of the Huns." Regarding Zhao Yao's affairs, the King of Chu felt that there was no need to hide it from the King of Wei.

King Wei returned angrily, stretched out his hand to grab King Chu's collar, and asked angrily: "Did you ask the tenth brother to investigate?"

King Chu waved away King Wei's hand and said with a cold expression: "I will not let my tenth brother be put in danger to investigate this matter."

"If it wasn't you, why would the tenth brother investigate this matter?"

"I didn't." King Chu would never let Zhao Yao be in danger.

King Wei also knew that King Chu could not let Zhao Yao do dangerous things. "I told him clearly not to get involved in this matter. Why did he still investigate this matter?"

"It's possible that King Han provoked him." King Chu knew Zhao Yao's temper well. If King Han hadn't made him angry, he would never have investigated the evidence of collusion between King Han and the third princess. "For more than a year, the King of Han has been sending people to assassinate the tenth brother."

"How do you know?" King Wei knew that King Han sent people to assassinate Zhao Yao, but he did not know that King Han often sent people to assassinate Zhao Yao.

King Chu did not answer this question, "Given the temperament of the tenth brother, King Han should have done something that touched his bottom line."

After hearing this, King Wei immediately thought of King Han's refusal to return to the capital due to illness.

"This is why the King of Han does not return to Beijing."

King Chu raised his eyes and looked at King Wei, "Don't you have someone with the Huns?"

King Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at King Chu without saying anything.

"Your men are ready for action."

King Wei said coldly: "What qualifications do you have to order me?"

The King of Chu did not respond to the words of the King of Wei, and continued: "I will deal with the Xun family."

"No need, I will deal with the Xun family and Lao Wu." After saying this, King Wei turned around and left the house.

King Chu did not leave in a hurry, but waited for a moment before leaving with Wei Mian.

Zhao Yao, who was on his way back to Beijing, had learned that his two good brothers knew about his assassination.

"Why did Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother know about my assassination?" He clearly kept it secret from Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother when they returned to Beijing.

Lu Guang couldn't answer Zhao Yao's question.

"It's over." Zhao Yao shouted with a bitter face.

Lu Guang was frightened by Zhao Yao's appearance and asked nervously: "Master, what's the end?"

"I hid it from Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother. Now that they know that I was assassinated, they will definitely scold me when I return to Beijing." Zhao Yao had a headache when he thought that Fourth Brother would become very verbose when he taught him a lesson. . "Fourth brother may talk about me for hours."

"Ah?" Lu Guang didn't understand.

"You don't know how long-winded the fourth brother is when he preaches." The fourth brother usually cherishes his words like gold, but once he is taught a lesson, his words will be eloquent and will not stop for several hours. He is most afraid of being lectured by his fourth brother.

"Is His Royal Highness the King of Chu very verbose?" Lu Guang has never met the King of Chu and does not know who the King of Chu is.

"That's not the case. He talks a lot when he teaches me a lesson." People who have never experienced Fourth Brother's teachings will not understand his pain. "I would rather be beaten by Fourth Brother."

"Master, your relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really good."

"Although fourth brother and I are not brothers from the same mother, fourth brother treats me closer than brothers from the same mother." Zhao Yao told Lu Guang what happened when he and the King of Chu were young. "It's also my blessing to be taught by my fourth brother."

If the emperor had been preaching for a few hours, Zhao Yao would have lost his patience.

"When I get back to the capital, I'd better take the initiative to apologize to Fourth Brother." This might save Fourth Brother from talking for an hour or two.

"Master, how many days do we have until we arrive in the capital?" Lu Guang has never been to the capital before. This is his first time in the capital.

Lu Guang's group of secret guards were sent to Lingnan for training since they were young. They don't know where their hometown is.

"At the current speed, we can arrive there in two days." Zhao Yao raised his hand and patted Lu Guang's shoulder and said with a smile, "I will take you to have a good tour of the capital then."

"Thank you, Master."

The people sent by the King of Chu to Qiantang were already waiting at the port of Qiantang, waiting for Zhao Yao's ship to arrive.

Two nights later, Zhao Yao took Lu Guang to the capital.

"Master, where are we going now?" Lu Guang was not disguised. He was carrying a long wooden box with a firecracker in it.

"I'll take you to eat delicious food first." Zhao Yao originally thought that he didn't miss the capital at all, but when he stepped onto the land of the capital and smelled the atmosphere of the capital, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"Master, aren't you going to see your brother?"

"There's no rush. Let's go after dinner." No big deal is as important as eating. "I'll take you to Zhenxiu Tower."

"Yes, Master."

Zhao Yao hailed a carriage and took him and Lu Guang to Zhenxiu Tower. On the way to Zhenxilou, Zhao Yao kept introducing the buildings on both sides of the road to Lu Guang.

Lu Guang was curious about the capital, but after arriving in the capital, he found that the capital was just like this, not as good as the Marsh Mansion.

He lowered his voice and said to Zhao Yao: "Master, I still think Marsh Mansion is better."

Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment when he said this, and then he smiled and said, "I think so too." However, the current Marsh Mansion is far inferior to the capital. After two years, the capital will not be as good as the Marsh Mansion.

The two of them came to Zhenyu Tower. Luckily for them, there happened to be an open seat.

Zhao Yao did not rush to order, but asked the waiter if there were any new dishes in the building.

After the waiter introduced it in detail, Zhao Yao magnanimously ordered several new dishes.

The dishes in Jingcheng have a stronger taste, while the dishes in Marshfu have a lighter taste.

There are also restaurants in Marsh Mansion run by people from the capital, as well as branches of the Zhenxiu Restaurant, but the taste is still inferior to those at the Zhenxiu Restaurant in the capital.

Zhao Yao originally thought that he would not miss the food in the capital, but after taking the first bite, he found that he still missed it deep in his heart.

Lu Guang didn't care whether the food was delicious or not, as long as he could eat enough.

Not long after they had eaten, they heard guests at the next few tables talking about King Han's return to Beijing at the end of the year.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is finally returning to Beijing, and it will be lively then."

"The shopkeeper of the Zhenxiu Tower is waiting for His Highness the King of Han to return to the capital. He is planning to invite His Highness the King of Han to taste the new dishes from the Zhenxiu Tower."

"Not only Zhenxiu Restaurant, but also the shopkeepers of other restaurants are waiting for His Highness the King of Han to return."

"I heard that His Highness the King of Han made a lot of delicious food in Marsh Mansion."

"I wonder what good things His Highness the King of Han will bring back this time?"

"By the way, the teahouse is also waiting for His Highness the King of Han to come back. When His Highness the King of Han comes back, the teahouses are going to hold a tea competition and compete for some tea."

"Then there will be fun."

"Don't you know? I heard that His Highness the King of Han will return at the end of the year. Tea merchants from all over the country have come to the capital to pay homage to His Highness the King of Han."

"For tea merchants, His Highness the King of Han is their ancestor."

"It's the God of Wealth."

“I feel that when His Highness the King of Han returns to the capital, the capital will become lively.”…

……

……

Hearing that people in the restaurant were praising Zhao Yao, Lu Guang and You Rongyan were surprised.

"Master, everyone is praising you."

Zhao Yao said with a proud look on his face: "There are not many people who praise me."

"Quite a bit." The people of Marsh Mansion also often praised the young master. "Master, in everyone's mind, you are a good person."

Zhao Yao was slightly startled when he was given the good person card, and then he smiled and said, "I'll accept your good person card."

Lu Guang didn't quite understand what Zhao Yao meant, "Master, what does the good guy card mean?"

"That means I'm a good person."

"You are a good person."

"What a good person..." Zhao Yao smiled with unknown meaning. He doesn't think he is a good person. The things he did for the people were not just to be a good person. He just felt like he should do it.

After the two drank tea, they left Zhenxiu Tower.

"Master, are we going to your brother's place now?"

"To be honest, I don't want to go." He didn't want anyone to know about his arrival in Beijing for the time being. However, if Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother knew that he returned to Beijing and did not go to them in the future, their crimes would be aggravated.

"Then where are we going?"

Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Fourth Brother's place."

He didn't go to Prince Chu's Mansion in a carriage, but walked there.

Zhao Yao took Lu Guang to walk slowly, while continuing to introduce the capital to Lu Guang.

Although he hasn't returned to the capital for more than a year, Zhao Yao feels that he is still as familiar with everything in the capital as before. This feeling of familiarity was as if he had never left.

On the way to the Chu Palace, Zhao Yao restored his true appearance. When he appeared at the door of Prince Chu's Mansion, the guards were stunned at first, and then saluted Zhao Yao excitedly.

"See His Highness the King of Han."

"Everyone, get up." Zhao Yao asked with a smile, "Is fourth brother at home?"

"Your Majesty is at home, please come in."

Zhao Yao does not need a pass to enter the Prince of Chu's Mansion, he can enter directly.

In the study, King Chu was inspecting his son's homework. When Wei Mian heard that Zhao Yao was here, he didn't even want his son, so he hurried out of the study.

King Chu saw Zhao Yao walking towards him from a distance, and couldn't help but stop, staring at his tenth brother whom he hadn't seen for more than a year with burning eyes.

When Zhao Yao saw King Chu, he immediately waved to him and shouted: "Fourth brother, I'm back." After saying that, he ran towards King Chu.

King Chu opened his hands and hugged Zhao Yao who rushed into his arms. The two of them were just like they were when they were children.

Zhao Yao hugged King Chu tightly and opened his mouth like honey: "Fourth brother, I miss you so much."

King Chu held Zhao Yao with one hand and patted his back with the other.

Wei Mian on the side looked at this scene with slightly red eyes.

The brothers hugged each other tightly for a while before letting go.

Zhao Yao took King Chu's hands and looked up and down at his fourth brother, whom he had not seen for more than a year.

"Fourth brother, let me take a good look at you."

The King of Chu let Zhao Yao look at him, and at the same time he also looked at Zhao Yao carefully.

"Fourth brother, why have you lost weight again? Did you not eat well?"

A smile appeared in King Chu's eyes, "You have grown a lot taller."

When it came to height, Zhao Yao looked proud: "Fourth brother, I am half a head taller than you now."

The King of Chu raised his hand and patted Zhao Yao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "He has grown up a lot." However, in the eyes of the King of Chu, Zhao Yao was still like a child as before.

"Fourth brother, I have grown up." Zhao Yao said with his hands on his hips, "I am even more handsome."

King Chu knew what "handsome" meant, nodded and said, "He is indeed a lot more handsome."

"Fourth brother, my sister-in-law and my nephew and niece are here." Zhao Yao said, "Take me to see them quickly."

After meeting my sister-in-law, nephew and niece, we talked about old times. Zhao Yao went to take a bath and change clothes.

His journey has been dusty and he needs to cleanse himself.

After bathing, Zhao Yao went to Prince Wei's Mansion. If he goes to see myna early tomorrow morning, myna will definitely be angry.

The King of Chu did not stop Zhao Yao, but told him to return to the King of Chu's Mansion later.

Seeing King Wei, the two brothers hugged each other again.

The King of Wei knew that Zhao Yao had just returned and that he had been very hard on his journey, so he did not talk to him much.

Zhao Yao returned to Prince Chu's Mansion to rest. However, he promised King Wei that he would sleep in King Wei's mansion tomorrow night.

King Chu has been waiting for Zhao Yao to come back. Seeing that he had replied, she didn't chat with him anymore and took him to bed.

The brothers sleep together as they did when they were children.

Zhao Yao originally wanted to chat with King Chu for a while, but he didn't expect that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

King Chu did not rush to sleep, but looked at him quietly for a while.

At the same time, the emperor in the palace was naturally happy when he learned that Zhao Yao had returned to Beijing, but he became angry again after a while. He was angry that Zhao Yao did not go to the palace to see his father when he returned to Beijing, but instead went to the King of Chu and Wei first. king.

Sun Kui was also happy when he learned that Zhao Yao had returned to Beijing safely.

He knew that His Highness the King of Han could return to Beijing smoothly and safely.

The emperor looked at Sun Kui and ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to capture that brat and bring him back to the palace."

"Your Majesty, are you thinking of His Highness the King of Han?"

"How could I miss him? Xiaoxiao misses him."

Sun Kui did not expose the emperor's stubborn words, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied now that His Highness the King of Han has returned safely?"

The emperor smiled and said: "I am very satisfied." He knew that the brat would not let him down. "Go and tell Xiaoxiao the news about the brat's return." The emperor still had memorials to review, so he didn't go to the Kunde Hall.

"Slave, go now."

Before Liang Bi fell asleep, she found out that Zhao Yao had returned to Beijing, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!"

Although the emperor did not tell Liang Concubine that Zhao Yao was assassinated on his way back to Beijing, she guessed it.

"His Royal Highness is finally back, you can rest assured, my queen." Although the queen said nothing these days, Guixing could tell that she had been worried about Zhao Yao's safety. "I haven't seen His Highness for more than a year. I don't know if His Highness has grown taller? Has he gained weight?"

"It's been more than a year." Liang Bi felt that it was not just more than a year, it felt like ten years had passed. "It always feels like this kid has been gone for a long time."

"This slave also feels this way."

"This child didn't even say a word in advance when he would return to Beijing." Liang Bi didn't know when her son would return to Beijing. She thought it would be later.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness probably wants to give you a surprise."

"It's indeed a surprise." I don't know if Yaoyao was injured.
