travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 174 This is Chang'an

After Zhao Xi left, Zhao Fei left Qin Hui alone, wanting to understand the grievances between Liu Yong and Zhao Xi.

If these words were asked in front of Liu Yong, or simply asked Liu Yong, Zhao Fei always felt a little inappropriate.

"Your Majesty, if you want to talk about the conflict between Liu Yong and Prince Luo, it's a long time ago." When Qin met Zhao Fei and asked him about the relationship between Liu Yong and Zhao Xi, Qin couldn't help showing a memory.

"How to say?" Zhao Fei asked.

"Because I was not an official in Chang'an at that time, but was in charge of local government, so I don't know the specific situation." After Qin Hui whetted Zhao Fei's appetite, he gave Zhao Fei an answer that absolutely vomited blood.

Qin Hui naturally knew that this answer was definitely not what Zhao Fei wanted, so he continued: "Although the minister was in the local area at that time, but Liu Yong, Lord Liu and Prince Luo, no, at that time, Prince Luo was not the Prince of Luo, but the county of Luo. Wang, the things between the two of them have been heard from far away in the farthest part of the imperial court."

"Really?" Zhao Fei said with a strange look on his face, "Looking at Liu Yong's usual good-natured appearance, how could his relationship with Zhao Xi become so stiff."

"Who told His Majesty that Mr. Liu is a good man?" Qin Hui asked Zhao Fei.

"It looks like it." Zhao Fei said.

"Your Majesty." Qin Hui smiled and said respectfully: "Although you shouldn't gossip about Lord Liu behind his back, it is absolutely impossible to say that Lord Liu is a good person."

"Why?" Zhao Fei asked.

"Because Master Liu was born as a censor." Qin Huidao: "Master Liu was a genius when he was young. to Yushitai."

"Yushitai?" Zhao Fei nodded in amazement and said, "From your point of view, Liu Yong seemed to be doing well at that time."

"Yes." Qin Huidao: "Master Liu was young at that time, he was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers. Among the young censors in Taiwan, they are known as No.1."

"Is that when Liu Yong had a feud with Zhao Xi?" Zhao Fei asked.

"Yes." Qin Hui nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Xi, who was still the king of Luo County at that time, had a character and integrity that could be said to be the opposite of Liu Yong. When Liu Yong went east, Zhao Xi went west. Two people with opposite personalities naturally sparked off when they met."

"What happened later?" Zhao Fei asked.

"Later, the two became more and more angry. In the end, Liu Yong was sent down to be an official, and Zhao Xi returned to Luoshui to inherit the title of Prince Luo because the former Prince Luo died of illness." Qin Huidao: "But maybe Master Liu’s habits developed in Yushitai, after he arrived in the local area, he still did not change his style. He did things in a straight-forward, hot-tempered manner, punishing the evil and promoting the good. After serving as a magistrate, he returned to the imperial court."

Qin Hui paused and said: "Master Liu, who was born in Yushitai, has always been vigorous and resolute under the influence of Yushitai's ethos. He is definitely not a good old man. In the past few years, I thought his temper has improved a lot. , I never thought that when I met Prince Zhao Xi today, I would pinch each other again."

"That's interesting." Zhao Fei smiled and said, "In your opinion, do you think Liu Yong will do something because of Zhao Xi's matter?"

"With Mr. Liu's character, he will definitely do it, but after all, it's not as bad as before, and it won't be too much." Qin Huidao: "Besides, Prince Zhao Xi is not an easy person to get along with."

"Looking at you, it seems that you have some friendship with Zhao Xi?" Zhao Fei asked.

"It's not about friendship, it's just that when I was a magistrate, I used to be a Taoist priest in Prince Zhao Xi's fief, so I'm a little familiar with Prince Zhao Xi." Qin Hui said.

"Well," Zhao Fei nodded secretly, and said, "In your opinion, what kind of person is Zhao Xi?"

"Before he inherited the title of Prince Luo, he could only be regarded as a dandy, but since he inherited the title of Prince Luo, he has become like a different person. He is very powerful. After many years, he has long been calm." Qin Hui Having said this, he thought for a while and continued: "So I feel that Zhao Xi's behavior at the moment is a bit weird."

"Strange?" Zhao Fei smiled and said, "I think so too, but you don't have to worry about Qin Aiqing, I've already had people watch him twenty hours a day."

"Uh..." Qin Hui was stunned.

After seeing Qin Hui off, Zhao Fei asked Anping to call Yue Xiaobao over.

There is an elder in the family, such as a treasure, as the antique-level steward of the palace, sometimes Yue Xiaobao, as the chief steward of the palace, has the absolute say in certain matters.

Although Anping also wanted to answer Zhao Fei's various questions wittily, the main reason why Zhao Fei chose Anping as his personal eunuch was that Anping had spent many years in the palace, and he belonged to the type who didn't love his father or his mother.

For such a person, he may not be able to magically tell where the person he is looking for lives, but he is honest and has no conflicts of interest with any force, so it is safe to use such a person.

For example, Yue Xiaobao, although he is familiar with all the big and small affairs of the palace, even if Zhao Fei wanted to know where the tree grew, Yue Xiaobao could quickly and clearly answer it.

But Zhao Fei didn't dare to use a god like Yue Xiaobao, nor could he.

After all, a person like Yue Xiaobao has been in charge of the palace for many years, and most of the princes and ministers outside the palace have hidden or unknown channels of communication.

Zhao Fei didn't want to be guessed by the local authorities what color underwear he wore every day.

However, everything has two sides. Although there may be some leaks with people like Yue Xiaobao, when Zhao Fei wants to know secrets, he can only ask people like Yue Xiaobao.

As for Anping, Zhao Fei didn't think this guy would know more than himself.

The reason why Zhao Fei approached Yue Xiaobao was because he wanted to know Zhao Xi's personality from the side.

Hearing that Zhao Fei asked him about Zhao Xi, Yue Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty asked him what he was doing?"

"I just met him, but I don't know him very well. After thinking about it, I think you should know her better in this palace, so I want to know him through you." Zhao Fei said.

"Your Majesty." Yue Xiaobao looked at Zhao Fei hesitantly.

"What's the matter, just tell me directly." Zhao Fei knew that there seemed to be something inside when he saw Yue Xiaobao's appearance, and said, "I won't blame you."

"Yes." Yue Xiaobao nodded, and then gestured towards Anping.

Anping was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly called out all the servants in the house, and then called his confidant eunuchs to arm the ground within twenty steps of Fang.

Seeing that Anping had done so many things in such a short period of time, Zhao Fei looked at Yue Xiaobao with a strange expression, and said, "Who are you?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant did this just in case." Yue Xiaobao said, while looking at Anping warily.

Anping pretended not to see Yue Xiaobao, and just stood at the door, pretending to protect His Majesty's safety, but in reality, he secretly listened to the wall, wanting to know what breaking news Yue Xiaobao wanted to say.

Yue Xiaobao's news was really explosive, and Anping wanted to vomit blood, deeply regretting why he knew such a terrible thing inexplicably.

"Your Majesty does not know that before Zhao Xi left Chang'an for Luoshui, he swore to himself that he would never return to Chang'an in his life." Yue Xiaobao said, "I don't know if Prince Luo still remembers what he swore back then. "

"Why did you make such an oath?" Zhao Fei said, "Don't he know that even if he doesn't want to come, he still needs to go to Chang'an every time the local prince goes to the palace to report on his duties?"

"Speaking of which, it seems that Zhao Xi has never reported his duties to the court." Yue Xiaobao said: "Every time something happens, he either finds someone to do it on his behalf, or reports his illness. So for many years, Zhao Xi has never been to Chang'an. At least not on the surface.”

"Why is this happening?" Zhao Fei asked.

"It is said that he must keep his oath." Yue Xiaobao said: "It is said that as long as Liu Yong is in Chang'an, he will never enter Chang'an."

"But why did he come to Chang'an now?" Zhao Fei said, "Could it be that he doesn't know that Liu Yong is serving in the imperial court now?"

"This old slave is also very strange." Yue Xiaobao followed Zhao Fei's words.

"In your opinion, why did Zhao Xi come to Chang'an this time?" Zhao Fei asked.

"I don't know, but something must happen." Yue Xiaobao said: "Based on what I know about Zhao Xi, if nothing happened, he would definitely not come to Chang'an."

"Do you think it has something to do with Zhao Yu?" Zhao Fei said, "I arrested Zhao Yu some time ago and locked him in Jinyiwei for a while."

"Your Majesty doesn't know something." Yue Xiaobao said: "Although Zhao Yu is the king of Luo County, he is the eldest son of Zhao Xi, but Zhao Xi has a prosperous heir, with more than [-] sons and more than [-] daughters, and it is Zhao Yu himself. , and four brothers with the same father and mother, so..."

Yue Xiaobao didn't say the latter, but Zhao Fei knew what Yue Xiaobao wanted to say.

Heaven is ruthless!

There has never been such a thing as emotion in the royal family, only the entanglement between interests.

Otherwise, Zhao Yong, who is closest to him in the royal family, would not listen to people's bewitching and embarrass him.

Since he was ruthless, Zhao Xi would naturally not take Zhao Yu seriously. He had more than 20 sons, and he didn't care about one more or one less. Naturally, it was impossible to enter Chang'an because of Zhao Yu's affairs.

But what was the reason, Zhao Fei couldn't figure it out.

Seeing Zhao Fei frowned and thinking, Yue Xiaobao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, what is there to worry about?"

Zhao Fei's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Yue Xiaobao approvingly.

Indeed, this is Chang'an, and this is my territory, so what do I have to worry about?

It doesn't matter if Zhao Xi is a dragon or a tiger, what he is here for.

As long as others are in Chang'an, on their own territory, they have to lie down if they are dragons, and they have to lie down if they are tigers.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fei raised his eyebrows, looked at Yue Xiaobao and said in harmony: "You pick a few smart palace servants and send them to Zhao Xi, and say that I gave them to him to serve him, after all, he has traveled lightly all the way. Come here, I didn’t even bring a few serving servants with me.”

"The slave obeys the order."
