Chapter 1014 Orange

Qin Hanzhen looked at Zhao Mo dumbfounded: "This... is this caused by the dispute over the emperor's heir? His Highness the Crown Prince has decided to adopt a descendant of the clan?" Otherwise, why would that person do such a thing?

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "If the East Palace has no heirs and does not accept new people, then sooner or later someone will bring up the idea of ​​adoption. Now that there are rumors outside, even if I deny it repeatedly, not many people are willing to believe it. At the beginning, several people were willing to believe it.

Uncle Du said that he had no intention of retaining the throne, but he was still fighting overtly and covertly? My father also said that he had never had the idea of ​​joining the royal family, but do you think...how many people outside would believe it? "

Therefore, Zhao Mo was implicated by his father and cousins. In fact, he really had no intention of becoming the heir of the Eastern Palace, but everyone thought he was just pretending.

Qin Hanzhen still felt it was a bit ridiculous: "If it was really someone from the royal family who framed the Liao Palace, it would be too exaggerated to make such a grand gesture. What if His Highness the Crown Prince didn't mention adoption, and the Emperor didn't mention it either, would that person want to

Are you waiting stupidly? If nothing else, for the sake of personal gain, you can collude with the enemy and kill innocent people at will. How can such a character and character be worthy of being the crown prince of a country? If such a person is really allowed to rise to power, I might as well let you be the one to count.

Now." At least Zhao Mo will not betray his country.

Zhao Mo paused and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not very old, but the Crown Princess and Crown Prince Liangdi are not young anymore, and their health is not very good. It would be a bit difficult to expect them to have more children for His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince

His Highness deeply feels that his wife and concubine have been together for many years, and life has not been easy. He is unwilling to accept new people, and hopes that the heir will be born from the Crown Princess. However, everything in this world cannot be forced. The Crown Princess and Crown Prince Liangdi have already settled.

After several years of tolerance, there has been no movement. The lack of heirs in the East Palace will only make the world unstable. For the sake of the overall situation, it is very important to bring in new people."

Qin Hanzhen was silent. He picked up his chopsticks and gave Zhao Mo two chopsticks of side dishes. They were equally sour and equally spicy. In fact, they were both things he didn't eat much on weekdays, but he still ate them silently, then frowned with a bitter face.

, finished the remaining mutton soup in the bowl, and went to pour himself tea.

Qin Hanzhen said slowly and calmly: "In the past few years, the clan members have fought twice to become the royal heir. It is reasonable for you to have such a guess. However, this may not be the only answer. Unless that

He really has inside information, knows that the prince intends to choose an heir, and regards you as the most threatening competitor, otherwise he would not hesitate to hook up with the Beirong people and risk being accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but it is just a frame-up

The Prince of Liao's Palace will discredit them, and if you are implicated, the gains will outweigh the losses. You cannot completely rule out the possibility that the other party may be an enemy of the Prince of Liao's Palace. For example, the Prince of Shu's Palace has a grudge against the Prince of Liao's Palace. They originally wanted to threaten the Prince of Liao's Palace.

You came to frame your father in order to eliminate the rivals for the throne of the emperor for the youngest son of the King of Shu, but you did not fall for the trick. Instead, you defeated their army and put the Prince of Shu's palace into trouble. Now that the entire family of the Prince of Shu has been destroyed, if the prince of Shu hates you,

It's human nature. He may take revenge on your father and ancestors."

Zhao Mo took a sip of warm tea and had to admit that Qin Hanzhen's words made sense. The Crown Prince of Shu might not be without suspicion.

He said slowly: "The Crown Prince of Shu is now living outside the palace with his wife and children. He can move freely and has no shortage of people to serve him. Although the land of Shu is no longer owned by the Prince of Shu's palace, he should still have a lot of money on hand.

The crown prince's dowry was also very generous, and all of it was returned when she was pardoned. In terms of financial, material, and human resources, the Prince of Shu could have set up this trap. He couldn't let people know that he was behind the scenes, probably because

Once outsiders knew that he had informed the Liao Palace, they would guess that he was seeking revenge. But... there are several points that don't make sense here. First, the prince of Shu was just a frustrated member of the clan, and he was of noble origin, but he

What kind of power can he have now? The Beirong spies have been in Dazhao for many years. It is impossible that they do not know his situation, so why should they trust him?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "Secondly, the Crown Prince of Shu and His Highness the Crown Prince are of the same generation. Of course, it is impossible for him to adopt the Crown Prince as his heir. And he only has one son, and he is the descendant of the sinner King Shu. What qualifications do he have to fight for the throne?

Bit? You think this is the most unreasonable point, right?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "This does not make sense. However, if you think that he is seeking revenge on the Liao Palace and my father, rather than for the position of emperor, then it makes sense. Maybe he has allies? That ally

Is he the one who really wants to be the heir to the throne?"

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "There is no end to such speculation. Who else in the clan is closely related to the Prince of Shu now? Even the Shanyang Palace is avoiding him, but he was still a die-hard loyal to the King of Shu. He

He usually goes in and out of the palace more often, often to greet the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Crown Prince. His two children are raised in Cining Palace, so it is normal for him to visit the palace more often. But I really can’t figure it out. He has done so many bad things in the King of Shu’s family.

Even the prince was almost killed by them. How big-hearted must the royal family be to adopt the grandson of King Shu as the emperor's heir? From this point alone, the son of the prince of King Shu has completely lost his qualifications, no matter which family he belongs to.

When the descendants of the clan are selected, it will not be his family's turn. Not only that, I feel that it is impossible for the Shu kings to gain real power and have contact with the government. I don't know how many years later, the descendants will have the opportunity to come forward. Thinking about it this way

, is it possible that the Crown Prince of Shu has lost his mind, so he would let go of the hard-won peaceful life now, but have to go through the muddy water of the dispute between emperors and heirs? Whether he wants to fight for himself or helps others fight, the risk is

Isn’t it too big? The reward is not that high. Even if the newly ascended emperor ascends the throne and becomes emperor, it will have to wait for decades. As long as he does not seek to usurp the throne, who will openly reuse the Shu king’s family?

Woolen cloth?"

Zhao Mo nodded while listening: "My cousin is right. In this way, if the prince of Shu really wants to participate in the battle for the emperor's heir again, whether it is to let his own son join, or to help other people's sons, he will be stupid.

Already."

Qin Hanzhen advised him: "If you are worried, just send a few people to keep an eye on him. He is different from other clans. His house was ransacked. His previous territory was in Shu, and there is not much in the capital."

As for the property, the things on the surface were found immediately. As for the things behind the scenes, it should not be difficult to find out the whereabouts of him or his people. There are not many servants serving his family now.

Most of those who came from the Shu area were made up for in the capital after being pardoned, and they were basically assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When it comes to enemy countries, I estimate that if the prince of Shu really had contact with the Beirong people, he would not be able to send

Contact these servants whose loyalty is hard to guarantee. As a result, there will not be many people who can be used. If you keep an eye on them for a while, you should be able to find out something."

Zhao Mo said: "I can't investigate this matter myself. It's okay to send a few people to follow it secretly, but it will be troublesome if someone discovers it. After all, I am only a clan member, and my fiefdom is far away in Suning. Unless I am a city guard or secret agent,

The job of a spy is otherwise unknown. Although the prince of Shu has parents and brothers who were convicted, he himself has been pardoned by the emperor. Now there is no clear evidence to accuse him of colluding with foreign affairs. If I act rashly

, it is easy to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Queen Mother. During the chaos in the Prince of Shu's palace and the Tu family's affairs, the Queen Mother did not intercede for them, which can be said to be a profound understanding of justice. Now she has great pity for the children of the Prince of Shu, Your Majesty

Naturally, I and His Highness the Crown Prince must give her this face, so as not to embarrass the Crown Prince of Shu too much."

Unless he could get conclusive proof, it would be inconvenient for him to even raise his suspicions to the emperor. Especially for matters like this involving the dispute over the emperor's heir, even if he had repeatedly stated that he did not want to adopt the East Palace, he had to avoid suspicion as much as possible.

When Zhao Mo said this, Qin Hanzhen understood his difficulty and sighed: "Forget it then. Anyway... most of Beirong's secret spies fell into the hands of the Secret Intelligence Department. After interrogation, some can always be found

Useful clues. If you continue to pay attention to the leaders who are chasing the Beirong spies, I don’t believe that you really can’t catch the little braid of the mastermind behind the scenes!”

If it is finally found out that the person is not the Prince of Shu, then of course it will be the best. There is no need to worry about anyone's face, just report the evidence to the top. How to deal with it will be decided by the emperor.

But if it is the Crown Prince of Shu who is finally found out, then the Queen Mother will definitely not protect him due to her temper. She probably feels pity for the suffering children, but what will happen to the Crown Prince of Shu, it may not involve the women and children.

With the Queen Mother here, what's the harm in the Emperor sparing two young children? King Shanyang is alive and well, and is regarded as a living sign of the Emperor's benevolence. It's not a big deal to add two new signs.

Zhao Mo nodded and said with a smile: "I also feel that after I spent so much effort to prepare, how could I still lose against that group of secret spies who are so clueless? Besides, I fished out both Prince Liao's palace and my father.

Here I am, and I have won the favor of the emperor, and helped him ensure the military power in Liaodong. The transition of power will be smooth, and the holy family will only be stronger in the future. Those who want to plot against me behind the scenes will feel aggrieved when they see this situation.

Do you want to vomit blood? Without this incident, I would not have such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Qin Hanzhen heard it funny and stuffed him with a peeled orange: "Here, fruit after meal, add more vitamins... cough, eat more fresh food, with appropriate meat and vegetables, it will be good for your body."

Zhao Mo smiled and took the orange and ate it: "It's so sweet!" He stuffed a piece of orange into her mouth. When his fingertips touched her lips, they felt smooth and soft, and his heart couldn't help but shudder. It's a pity that Qin Hanzhen

Startled by him, he immediately reached out and covered his mouth, otherwise he really wanted to let his fingers stay on it for a while longer.

Qin Han really didn't expect his sudden attack, but she thought it was normal. Just chewing the orange slice, she couldn't help but wrinkled her facial features. This orange was obviously sour, how could it be sweet?!

Zhao Mo just smiled and continued to eat the orange, using the same hand that stuffed the orange for Qin Han, feeling that the more he ate, the sweeter it became.
