Zhao Fujin, the Emperor who brought disaster to the country

Chapter 49 Explain the reason
"But doesn't your father still have several of your adult sons? Why do you want her to be a little wife?" Zhu Lian listened to Zhao Huan's speculation and felt that it might be true, but he was still a little unconvinced. : "Your Highness cannot bear this stigma. Isn't there still the third brother here?"

Third brother?
Zhao Huan felt aggrieved when he thought of him: "My father values ​​him so much, how could he be willing to harm his reputation!"

When Zhu Lian heard what Zhao Huan said, he felt a little sad. Empress Wang died young. As the eldest son of an official family, her husband should have had great success, but because he had no backing in the palace, he could not move forward step by step. difficult.

The third prince, Zhao Kai, was favored by his biological mother, Concubine Wang, and was supported by four brothers. He was a smart man and was the most valued and loved by Zhao Ji among the princes.

"Your Highness, you have been wronged~~" Zhu Lian hugged Zhao Huan sadly and patted his back with his hands: "But we are not afraid of him either. You are the eldest son, and there are all the princes in the court. No matter how partial my father is, he will never do anything to you!"

"I know, but I've been feeling grievances for a long time, and I always want to tell you. Right now, you and Chen'er are the only closest relatives I have." Zhao Huan was a little moved, and he buried his face in Zhu Lian's bun. : "I heard that Third Brother is going to participate in the Spring Festival next year. According to the palace servants, he is very likely to achieve fame."

"So what, if his mother is Mrs. Zheng, we have nothing to fear, but he is not!" Zhu Lian snorted lightly in his nose: "He can only find these crooked ways to please his father. The emperor!"

It is said that the current imperial examination was a crooked way to select officials. There is only one person in the world, Zhu Lian!

Zhao Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that Zhu Lian was just trying to make him happy. Anyway, it was just a love talk in his boudoir. He didn't refute her by nature. His heart was so warm that he felt that Zhu Lian was a gift from God to him.

But I heard Zhu Lian say again: "Father told me a few days ago that my younger sister Fengying has been favored by the officials and has been summoned twice by the royal concubine."

The warmth in Zhao Huan's heart disappeared instantly.

So, is the Zhu family planning to ride in two different boats?

"Father said that His Highness, the Third Highness, is favored by the official family. If he marries my younger sister, with the affection of the two sisters, he will definitely help His Highness in the future." Zhu Lian seemed to be unaware of Zhao Huan's stiffness. , then said.

How useful is the relationship between sisters in the face of power?
Zhao Huan felt a little cold in his heart, but he did not refute.

……

The snow stopped for a day, and the snow from Ninghe Hall to Qunyu Hall had long been swept to the palace road by the palace people. After a day of bright sunshine, it had actually melted.

It was still early, and when Zhao Fujin saw Chunlan, he could still see the pleasing smile on her face.

"Di Ji, this servant is about to pick you up!" Chunlan stepped forward to replace Qiong Yu and said in a low voice: "Today, the official family has been pestered by several husbands all morning, and is in a slightly bad mood. Empress Liu is waiting in the palace. Still waiting."

"You're interested!" Zhao Fujin's lips curled up slightly, revealing two beautiful dimples, and he thanked Chunlan.

Concubine Liu Guifei was recommended to Zhao Ji by Empress Mingda, and she also had a close relationship with Zhao Fujin and the other sisters.

Some, but not many.

Charcoals were burned in the hall and incense was offered, which smelled very good.

Zhao Ji is used to enjoying himself. Even if he is in a bad mood, he will not abuse himself.

Concubine Liu is plump and beautiful, and she is very good at dressing up. In the hot winter, she only wears a red gauze that just reaches her knees. The exposed red gauze pants are tied with several gauze ribbons, and there are bells on the gauze ribbons. Every time Dancing brings with it the sound of jingling rings.

It is extremely pleasant and pleasant to listen to.

Zhao Ji sat cross-legged on the soft bed, holding a cup in one hand and a cup in the other, and he had already started eating.

Zhao Fujin entered the door and happened to see Concubine Liu making a leap and turning. Her white and tender feet seemed to have stepped on auspicious clouds, flying half a person's height away.

When she saw Zhao Fujin, Concubine Liu's movements were stagnant. When she fell, there was a "dong" sound, and the sound of landing directly covered up the ringing of the bell. "I've met daddy, I've met Liu Niangniang!" Zhao Fujin didn't seem to notice, bowed his knees and gave a salute, but directly greeted the two people.

Concubine Liu concealed her expression in time and was about to say a friendly word when she heard Zhao Ji say: "He Wen, please go back to the palace first. Fu'er and I have something to discuss."

what?
Are you trying to drive yourself away?

Concubine Liu Guifei has no name. When she was in the palace of Queen Mingda, she was given the name and text by Queen Mingda because of the same surname, which she still uses today.

In the past, she had had banquets and dances with the officials, and she had never given up halfway. As soon as Emperor Mingde came today, the officials let her go. Concubine Liu Guifei felt a little uneasy. She had given birth to Princess Hefu in July. , I haven’t slept with him for a long time, and I finally designed a new dance. I originally thought I could stay overnight.

"You go back to the palace first. I'll go look for you later!" Zhao Ji saw the beauty's uneasy expression and immediately coaxed, "If you want to eat anything, go get it from the kitchen of Qunyu Palace."

Concubine Liu was overjoyed, and immediately thanked her, and said to Zhao Fujin: "Princess Hefu can crawl now. If the emperor is free, she might as well come and sit in my palace."

Are you inviting me or Zhao Ji?
Zhao Fujin cursed in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "Of course, of course, Madam Liu, don't worry, it's easy to go."

After she put on a heavy white fur cloak and walked out of the palace, Zhao Ji called Zhao Fujin into the palace and sat down: "Come on, come on, Fu'er, come and sit here, Yanxi, serve the food to Emperor Ji!"

Zhao Fujin sat on Zhao Ji's left side, and before the food was served, he said to Zhao Ji, "My daughter has caused trouble for her father."

"It doesn't matter. I told you a long time ago that you just do it and I will be your solid backing!" Zhao Ji waved his hand and put down the wine glass in his hand: "It's just that Fu'er needs to be more careful in the future. Doing adultery like this No amount of money can be collected from those who break the law!

Since they were criticized, we just ransacked the house. Why did we take that little money and end up with a lot of shame? "

"Dad is absolutely right." Zhao Fujin admitted his mistake sincerely: "My daughter took the money because although Qin Xiang was a promiscuous man, he did not make any big mistakes. The reason why he was imprisoned was because he said At the end of the day, it still has something to do with my daughter?”

"Oh?" Zhao Ji was stunned: "You are in the harem and you have not made any enemies with these families. How could they drag you into trouble even if they break your arm?"

Zhao Ji is indeed extremely smart. Zhao Fujin spoke so obscurely that he could directly guess the essence of the problem.

Zhao Fujin's face showed some embarrassment: "Speaking of this, it still has something to do with my daughter's making money.

Chen Zhang, the judge of Dali Temple, was one of the first people to spend money to buy an official position. My daughter was very impressed by this person and feared that his virtue was not worthy of the position, so she placed people around him.

When he went to capture Qin Xiang, he had already found out the whole story.

After Fang Linsheng was killed, the grand master of the Fang family forced Mrs. Fang and Fang Yuning, Fang Linsheng's only bloodline, to commit suicide in order to clear the Fang family's name.

At that time, the person arranged by his daughter to be with Chen Zhang felt that this was inappropriate, and promptly encouraged Chen Zhang to turn around and take away the mother and daughter.But he saw a servant in Fang's house, who was the husband of Lord Meng Yuan and Meng's family, disguised in a clever disguise.

At that time, he felt something was wrong and promptly reported the matter to me. "Zhao Fujin sighed: "I haven't offended anyone on the surface these days, but I have blocked the way of many people secretly. The husband of the Meng family will appear at the scene of the murder and dressed up so strangely. He must be hiding something. Hidden purpose.

The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, it is extremely difficult to defend against.

So the daughter decided to follow their plan.

Therefore, when Mrs. Bai took 50 taels of silver to buy her life, her daughter kept the silver and pretended to replace Qin Xiang with a death row prisoner, leading the Meng family and those behind her to continue the drama.

Well, this is also the reason why the 50 taels of silver were not delivered to daddy. " Zhao Fujin explained.
