The prince of Yiyang County was affected by the wind blowing from his wife's pillow, and he really couldn't let go of his son's injury. He hesitated whether he could find a reason to delay his trip.
Seeing that November is about to pass, they were supposed to leave for the vassal state before the end of the month. Even the palace manager and the male and female servants who originally stayed in Liaodong rushed to the capital with a convoy full of belongings. The court could not say that the family deliberately
Against the will of the Holy Spirit, he stayed in the capital. However, at this time of year, the canal has been suspended. First send the large luggage to Tongzhou for storage, hire a fleet, and then find an excuse to ask for grace from the Queen Mother, such as the Prince of Yiyang himself or
The princess suddenly fell seriously ill and needed to stay in the capital for a few more days to recuperate. Then after half a month, the imperial government offices were all closed down. Who would mention the things they had not left without fun? When the New Year is over,
It is only natural that the first lunar month is over and spring starts again.
Such a long time was enough for Zhao Li to heal the wounds that could not be told. The step-concubine of Yiyang even suddenly had a whim, thinking that as soon as the first month was over, she would hold a wedding for Zhao Li, which would save Yiyang from getting married again.
, trouble and money wasted. After being demoted and changed their fiefdom, their family lost a lot of property. When holding a wedding in the capital, there will always be congratulatory gifts from the palaces of the princes and princesses, and there will also be rewards from the emperor and the queen mother.
What's more important is that with his wife by his side, Zhao Li will have someone to serve him all the way south, so she doesn't have to worry anymore.
Concubine Yiyang vomited blood and had been frightened for the past few days. Now that things have changed, she does feel that her body is weak and not as good as before. She feels that it is easy for her to pretend to be sick now, but it is difficult to distract herself from taking care of her.
Son.
Because of this selfish intention, Prince Yiyang always responded to the requests of the emperor and the court. When the power was handed over, he repeatedly ordered his subordinates to cooperate and not to cause trouble or cause trouble to others, which would attract the attention of his subordinates.
There were many private discussions, wondering why the prince seemed to have changed. When did he become so honest and honest? However, when thinking about the reason why the King of Liao demoted him to the Prince of Yiyang and various gossips, everyone felt that this was natural.
.The original King of Liao's palace was not clean, and Zhao Li was even suspected of instructing his guards to kill people and silence them. If the father and son were unwilling to cooperate with the court, Zhao Li might be arrested again by the court at any time. The original King of Liao
He has always been partial to this son, and the current Prince of Yiyang will also not watch his second son being tortured.
The generals of Liaodong suddenly became distraught. Those who were originally loyal to the imperial court were naturally happy to see such a harmonious transfer of power; those who were originally more loyal to the Liao Palace heard all kinds of gossip and were extremely disappointed with their old masters, and also expressed their displeasure with Yiyang's successor.
The concubine and Zhao Li are even more dissatisfied and resentful, thinking that if it were not for their mother and son, Liaodong would still be their world today. They also do not understand the Yiyang County Prince, who has sacrificed so much for his unworthy wife and troublemaking and stupid son.
The love between children has become too long, and the heroic decisiveness of the past has long ceased.
As for those people who don't rely on either side and have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, how can they dare to say anything? The situation is obviously that the imperial court is powerful, so they are naturally busy working hard to fight for the opportunity to embrace the lap of their future boss.
The military power in Liaodong was handed over smoothly, and there was no incident in the army. There was a slight disturbance in the political power, mainly due to some discrepancies in the financial accounts and serious deficits. In the past, the King of Liao did not care about these things, but the Queen of Liao and Zhao Li knew it well, and everyone was confused.
That's it. Now that I can't hide it, I reported to the capital. When the emperor saw that the amount was not a small amount, he summoned Zhao Mo to ask.
Zhao Mo has been the eldest grandson of the Liao Palace for more than ten years, and behind him is Zhao Shuo, who has been the eldest son of the Liao Palace for 30 years. Even if he has no real power, he still understands the situation in the palace. With the help of their father and son, the emperor
The people successfully obtained information on most of the secret industries of the Liao Palace. The income from these industries was enough to make up for the shortfall. So with the emperor's consent, the shortfall in the official accounts was written off. The emperor also claimed that this was for
The grace of Prince Yiyang saved him from the tangle of debt collection.
Prince Yiyang almost didn't vomit blood on the spot. But what could he say? Everyone said that this was grace, that the emperor was merciful and kind to his brothers. Even if the brother made a big mistake, the emperor still protected them. He even protected them.
Some imperial censors felt deeply that something was wrong, and wrote letters denounced to the Yiyang County Prince's Palace again and again. Even if the emperor was kind and showed kindness to them, how could they have the nerve to accept it?! They made mistakes first and were punished later. Those who want shame
They should take the initiative to write a letter rejecting the emperor's favor and use money to make up for the shortfall. That is not the private wealth of their palace, but the official money of Liaodong, the people's wealth and the people's anointment, and they have the nerve to take it? Sure enough, the punishment is too light!
There was another censor who submitted a letter to the Yiyang County Prince's Mansion. He said that after the title was demoted, the standards of the prince's palace should also be lowered. However, the original prince's mansion in the Yiyang County Prince's Mansion remained unchanged, which seemed to be an overstep.
Dislike.
The prince of Yiyang County was scolded by the censor in court. When he returned to the palace, he was so angry that he vomited blood. The concubine Yiyang, Zhao Li, and Zhao Yan all turned pale and asked for invitations in a panic.
The Imperial Physician. It was the Prince of Yiyang County who stopped them and did not alert the Imperial Hospital. He also invited a famous doctor to diagnose their pulse.
The Prince of Yiyang was just older and had been very angry recently, but he was in good health and was not seriously ill. After sending away the doctor, the Prince of Yiyang became a little discouraged. He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and ordered
The manager of the palace went to find someone to demolish the house. He wanted to demolish the prince's palace to the specifications of a county prince's palace. Otherwise, who could live in peace of mind?
Concubine Yiyang sat in front of her husband's bed and cried. No matter how much anger she had in her heart, it was all replaced by worries about her husband. She knew very well in her heart that her husband was her god. Once the prince of Yiyang County
Anyway, the two sons under her knees couldn't hold up the lintel. Now, no matter how much wealth they have, they still have to ask Zhao Shuo, the eldest son left by the former wife, to take it. The emperor did not expressly change the title of Zhao Shuo to
The eldest son of the Prince of Yiyang did not say that he would not be granted a title. It didn’t matter if Zhao Shuo was not favored by the Holy Family. Her mother and son were even less likely to be favored by the Holy Family. And Zhao Shuo, after all, still had a powerful son! There was nothing the step-concubine of Yiyang could do in any case.
Imagine what would happen if the three of them, mother and son, fell into the hands of Zhao Shuo. At this time, she couldn't care about anything but hoped that her husband would be safe and sound.
But Zhao Li had a different idea. He asked his father angrily: "How can my father bear this tone? Now that our property has been swallowed up by the court, we still have to bear the stigma of shortfall. Those outside say
How ugly is that?! They are almost calling the emperor a holy king! But if he hadn’t swallowed our money, would the emperor be willing to give up these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?! This is to be a female cousin and to erect a memorial memorial at the same time
, is that too much?!"
The Prince of Yiyang suddenly turned blue again, and the Step-Concubine of Yiyang hurriedly stopped her son: "Li'er, stop talking! Now the situation is stronger than others. You want us to stay with you in the capital for a longer time, how can we stay here?
Is it time to confront the emperor?!"
Zhao Li sneered: "Why is this my fault again? Even if I didn't mention it, the emperor would still treat us like this. If I had known this, it would be better to blame everything on Zhao Shuo. Anyway, he has something to do with the Beirong people.
He is the one who is involved, why should we block the gun for him?! My father is really stupid. When I shouldn’t offend the emperor, I have to offend him. When I should go against the emperor, I am soft. Father
Where can you still have the magnificence of your youth now? Do you know what people outside say about you?!"
Prince Yiyang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at his second son, his face flushed as if he was about to burst into flames at any moment. Concubine Yiyang panicked and slapped Zhao Li in the face: "Shut up! You are in front of your father.
What are you talking about?! Who is Zhao Shuo? You know clearly that the emperor is going to deal with your father, how can you hurt his heart by talking nonsense?! If it weren't for you, your father wouldn't have to
You give in again and again. He loves you so much, and this is how you repay your father?!"
Zhao Li looked at his mother-in-law in disbelief, his face flushed, he turned around suddenly and limped out.
Zhao Yan glanced at his back expressionlessly and stepped forward to comfort his parents: "You two, don't be angry. My second brother has that temper. Just talk slowly and it will be fine."
Prince Yiyang closed his eyes again and remained silent. Concubine Yiyang cried bitterly: "I really spoiled him rotten in the past, and I spoiled him so much that he didn't know how to be generous. What can we do in the future? How will he look like this?
Can you take over your father's position?!"
The face of Prince Yiyang became even more ugly. Zhao Yan took a deep look at his mother, his face darkened, and he felt that he might be more cruel.
In the afternoon, Zhao Mo came to the Yiyang Prince's Mansion again. He came to look for Zhao Yan privately: "Today, there is a censor, Ben, urging the prince to join the vassal. It is said that the imperial edict clearly stated that he will leave before the twelfth lunar month, but you have not seen anything yet.
, I haven’t hired a boat yet, I just want to stay in the capital. It’s just the other side. This one is really solid and no one can argue with it. Third uncle, you need to be careful. Although the prince is ill now, the courtiers
We have so many criticisms that the emperor cannot ignore them."
Zhao Yan lowered his face and said, "Don't you think I don't want to leave? Zhao Li is holding on to his father, the Queen, his mother and his concubines and refuses to let me go. I'm eager to leave as soon as possible. Because of him, the day of departure has been delayed until now. I originally wanted to leave."
The plan to take a boat through the canal is not feasible. I don’t know how to treat my leg injury, and I am also anxious! It would be a good thing if the emperor can really force my father to leave this time. But my father
Now that he is ill, I'm afraid something might happen to him on the road. He is almost sixty years old after all."
Zhao Mo hurriedly asked what was going on. Zhao Yan didn't know that he had leaked the secrets of the palace's properties, so he told him. Zhao Mo sighed: "I see. There is no way to deal with this kind of thing. The Prince of Shu's palace used to
There have been many secret properties, and some of them have not yet been clarified. The prince of Shu claimed that it was bought by his parents for their youngest son, but he did not know. No one can tell whether this is true or false, but since then, the court has
I am very taboo that various princes have too many properties that they have secretly set up. If people know that you also have it, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome than it is now. I advise you not to make trouble and leave the capital as soon as possible. If you want properties, wait until you get to Yiyang.
Just buy it. Yiyang, the land of fish and rice, is much richer than Liaodong. Are you still afraid that you will have nowhere to get money?"
Zhao Yan snorted coldly: "This is the only way. I will advise my father to take good care of his health. No matter what, let's make it look like we are going south. If the emperor really wants to issue an order to urge us, we will have no choice but to go
Now, how can you care about Zhao Li?!"
After sending Zhao Mo away, Zhao Yan conveyed the emperor's wishes to his parents. No matter how ugly the Yiyang County Prince's face was, he knew that he had been tricked, but the situation was over. There was nothing he could do, anyway, the second son could walk now, or
Let's go.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it got dark, bad news came from the concierge. Zhao Li ran outside to drink to drown his sorrows, got into a conflict with someone, and had two of his legs broken, so he had to be carried back.
