foster husband

Chapter 129

According to the plan, Pei Jinyu was supposed to attack King Zhao before Dai Wang returned to Luoyang City.

Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly, not to mention that the plan itself was not well planned.For example, the evidence of Zhao Wang's rebellion was rushed, and a large number of swords had not been smuggled out of the secret passage in Princess Wei's mansion. Pei Jinyu found the secret passage from the half-walled tower to the palace, which was unexpected. At that time, something happened in the emperor's side.

The emperor personally made a decree and chose the auspicious day, the first day of November, for King Zhao and Qi Fu to get married.

When the news reached Zhao Wang's mansion, Zhao Wang was drinking alone, and asked his staff in disbelief: "Didn't you say that the first emperor passed away, and this king will have to observe filial piety for three years? What is the emperor going to do?"

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, even Zhao Wang can't figure out his elder brother's thoughts, let alone others.

The aides were very embarrassed, and after deliberating for a long time, they said: "It's better for the prince to express his gratitude, and then emphasize his determination to keep filial piety for the late emperor."

When Zhao Wang remembered that the memorial was written for his eldest brother, he felt very distressed. After a moment of silence, he said with a dark face: "Just do as you say, you write the memorial."

After explaining this sentence, King Zhao drank two bowls of wine and went to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the eunuch Sifeng read the memorial to Zhao Wang in front of the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, and Zhao Wang himself, like everyone else, was stunned.

Zhao Wang had delayed that staff member several times in his heart, and thought: Ask him to write a memorial, and the meaning is fine. How many times did the sentence "If you can't keep your filial piety for the late emperor, you are in vain as a son of man, it is better to smash your head to death in front of the treasure hall" mean?
If the emperor insisted on letting him marry a wife on the first day of November, would he really have to smash his head in front of the palace?
No, no, he still wants to save his life and become the emperor.

Therefore, as soon as Sifeng finished reading, King Zhao didn't dare to make any gestures other than standing still for a moment, as if the memorial was not what he wrote.

The emperor's mind also took several turns during this moment.At first, he just listened to the advice of his father-in-law, Prime Minister Xiao, and wanted to smear a little black on King Zhao's life.The aristocratic families all value filial piety and righteousness. Although there is only one thing that will not make Zhao Wang no longer stand up, but the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest, as long as he perseveres, Zhao Wang will be completely overwhelmed one day.

He and his father-in-law had expected even the situation that King Zhao would show up, but they really didn't expect that King Zhao would be so fierce.

The emperor really wanted to persuade King Zhao to see if he would really crash to death before the palace, just because he was afraid that he would be given the title of killing his younger brother.

The emperor was tangled and tangled, between cheating King Zhao or gaining a good reputation, he chose the latter.He endured and endured, and said: "I need to consult the Empress Dowager before making a decision on this matter."

It's okay, just retreat.

The emperor went to the Ning'an Palace of the Empress Dowager, and King Zhao bit the bullet and followed for his own life-long event.

The emperor passed Zhao Wang's memorial to the empress dowager, and before Zhao Wang entered the door, he heard his mother crying.

"That dead ghost will not let people stop while alive, and will not forget to continue to harm people after death."

Well, this is scolding his late emperor's father!Zhao Wang stepped in quietly, and saw his mother touched her tears with a handkerchief, pointed to the emperor, and pointed to him again: "No matter how many Ai family, the Ai family only knows the emperor and Zhao Wang, one One has no heirs, one has no wife. The Heavenly family taboos the lack of heirs, the emperor does not allow filial piety, so it is important to give birth to a grandson for the Ai family as soon as possible. King Zhao also forbids filial piety, so quickly take the concubine into the house, and live a good life is the most important thing."

The empress dowager made the final decision, neither the emperor nor the king of Zhao should try to be alone, or they should be together, two brothers, if they don't abide by filial piety.

The emperor was worried because he failed to frame King Zhao.

Zhao Wang was relieved because he didn't have to crash to death in front of the palace.

The two brothers looked at each other, turned their heads away silently, all with ulterior motives.

The empress dowager didn't keep food either, knowing that she couldn't keep it if she did.

The emperor took a step first and went to the Qianyuan Hall to review the memorials.

It's just because it was a place that his uncle used to use when he was alive, and his father liked it at first, but later it was abandoned because someone died in the palace.

After he ascended the throne, he didn't do much repairs. He cleaned up, moved in some personal items, and lived in Qianyuan Hall for a long time.Basically, women who don't sleep in the harem eat and sleep there.It is unlucky to have died. Looking at all the palaces in the palace, there is a place where no one has ever died!

Only by living in his uncle's favorite Qianyuan Palace can he learn from his uncle better.

Zhao Wang stayed for a while because he hadn't seen the empress dowager for many days. When he was about to leave, the eunuch Xihe who was in front of the empress came over and said that he was looking for the emperor.

Before Xihe came to Ning'an Palace, he had naturally been to Qianyuan Hall, but the emperor hadn't gone back then.

Xihe was in vain in Qianyuan Hall, but he was still in vain when he came to Ning'an Palace.He didn't dare to complain, and after paying respects to the empress dowager, he was about to leave. The empress dowager asked a few words: "The empress is so anxious to find the emperor, but what's the hurry?" Her tone was full of displeasure.

The empress dowager is dissatisfied with the empress, which is well known in the entire harem.Isn't it just because the queen has nothing to do?

Xihe thought for a while, the queen only said that she would tell the emperor the good news, not whether she would tell the empress dowager.The good news, of course, cannot be concealed.

Then he grinned and said: "Congratulations to the empress dowager, the empress...you are happy."

This was really a big surprise. The empress dowager was so overjoyed that she was a little silly. She even forgot to laugh, so she subconsciously asked, "When did this happen?"

Xihe was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the emperor and the empress were still in the filial piety, and seeing that the empress dowager didn't smile, she thought she was going to settle the matter, and wished to give herself a big mouth.But the Empress Dowager asked a question, but she had to answer, so she stammered and said: "It seems that it was the last time, the emperor got drunk because he missed the late emperor... Well, that's what happened at that time."

When the empress dowager heard that this was all a mess, she asked with a straight face: "Aijia asked you how long the empress has been happy, how many months?"

Xihe didn't care to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "The imperial doctor said it's less than two months."

Seeing the Empress Dowager rushing out with a stride, she turned her head and said to Xi He: "Lead the way ahead, Ai's family has to go see the Empress. In the first three months, you must be careful and careful..."

It wasn't until his mother's voice disappeared in front of his ears that Zhao Wang finally came back to his senses, with a look of pain.It really doesn't matter if he's ignored by his mother, anyway, it's not the first time he's been ignored.On the contrary, the matter of the queen's happiness was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. King Zhao felt his eyes were black and his future was unknown.

Because he was always questioned that he could not have a child, the emperor announced the good news openly in the morning court the next day.

All civil and military officials congratulated each other, and no one dared to say that the emperor was at fault and should not have slept with the queen during the filial piety period to have children.Immediately afterwards, it was announced that King Zhao's wedding would be held as scheduled, so naturally no one made a mistake.

Even Prime Minister Xiao, who was going to fight King Zhao with all his strength, has already laughed stupidly, okay, framing King Zhao is playing tricks, stop playing, stop playing, just take it as a little bit of virtue, and ask Ten Thousand Buddhas to bless the queen This time it was a man in one fell swoop.

After the court, Uncle Chengxin rushed to the Princess Wuling's mansion to pass the news to Pei Tianshu.

If the news channels of the Pei family lag to such an extent, Pei Tianshu has already been played to death many times, okay?

Pei Tianshu, who had already received the news last night, pretended not to know, carefully examined Liu Tong's expression, suppressed the words "whether he is the emperor's seed or not" and said without changing his expression, "This is a good thing. .”

Liu Tong wanted to say "what a fart", looked at Pei Tianshu's sly eyes, and said with a "pooh": "Pei Laosan, you still don't want to have an affair with brother?" When he got angry, even the prince didn't call up.Hmm... and sold the old one.

Pei Jinyu happened to come in from outside, and answered, "Naturally, I have to confess to Uncle."

Liu Tong is still wondering if all the principals of the Pei family have been handed over to Pei Jinyu?
Pei Jinyu stood in front of him and said: "Uncle is already an uncle, I'm afraid that there are some things that uncle doesn't want to do."

He is really a quick talker, and he pushed back the difficult problem at once.Liu Tong began to play dumb: "What is it, the eldest princess will tell the truth."

Pei Jinyu sat down in front of her father's couch, chuckled and said, "If uncle can't think of something, he really doesn't deserve me to tell you this."

Well, people just don't talk about it, they just play charades with you.Liu Tong muttered, and continued to play tricks: "Isn't it a general guess, and I'm not sure, so I let the eldest princess and King Zhongyi express it."

Pei Jinyu still laughed, and Pei Tianshu, who was lying on the floor in pain, changed his position, and said simply: "Then you go home first, and then think about it." If you think about it, let's talk.Can't figure it out, don't talk about it.

Liu Tong talked all he wanted, but in exchange for such a result, he pouted his beard angrily, and went home to vent his anger on his sons.

In fact, Liu Tong was telling the truth, he guessed that Pei Tianshu wanted to entrust the Daiwang to take over the throne, but seeing the cold attitude of the Pei family father and daughter towards the Daiwang, it didn't seem very resembling.

It's hard to guess, and it's even harder to say.

Dai Wang has done two extremely beautiful things recently. One is to arrange the repair of the mausoleum in an orderly manner, and the other is to wipe out all the bandits who occupy the westernmost part of Xiashan Mountain and occupy the mountain as king.

Dai Wang, who has always been stupid, has been so shrewd lately. If there is no one behind the scenes, no one will believe it.

As for the person behind Dai Wang, everyone would think it was Pei Tianshu.

But what the truth is, we have to wait for the Dai Wang to come back to find out.

Liu Tong is not in a hurry, just be patient and wait a few more days.

Pei Jinyu was even less anxious.

It's useless to be anxious, isn't it? Also, it seems that Zhao Wang is more anxious than her.
