The eunuch was from the East Palace, and he once went south with the prince to treat illnesses. Zhao Mo naturally recognized him.

The other party came under the emperor's order and had been waiting in Cangzhou for nearly two days. He had been keeping a low profile and did not publicize it. Yesterday, he heard the news that Yongjiahou's fleet had arrived at Cangzhou Pier, but it was already late at that time.

, he did not come over until this morning to issue the decree.

This was an imperial edict issued by the emperor to Zhao Mo, the eldest son of Zhao Shuo, the prince of the Liao Dynasty. He praised him for his young intelligence, both civil and military skills, and his loyalty, filial piety and justice... He said a lot of good things like this without any money, and then used this as an excuse.

, canonized him as the Prince of Suning County, granted Suning County a fiefdom, and granted him a vassal status directly without returning to Beijing to thank him.

Finally, I added a sentence: You cannot return to Beijing unless you are summoned.

It can be said that this decree was not unexpected by Zhao Mo and the descendants of the Qin family, but it was beyond their expectations. They had already known about the issue of the title of prince. Huang Jincheng was the prince's cousin and the prince.

Since he was a close confidant, there was a 90% chance that this matter would be successful. But no one expected that after the emperor canonized Zhao Mo as the county queen, he directly sent him to Suning and refused to let him return.

Beijing, and asked him not to return to Beijing unless he was recalled in the future. In a sense, he was trapped in a small place like Suning and could not move lightly.

Why did the emperor do this?

Zhao Mo accepted the order before he had time to think about it. After kowtowing and thanking him, he stood up. Although his face looked calm, in fact his eyes were filled with confusion.

Qin Hanzhen knew why he was confused. To be honest, she was also confused. She caught a glimpse of her grandfather Qin Bai going to talk to the eunuch. She probably wanted to find out the emperor's intentions, so she went to comfort Zhao Mo first: "This is why

It's a good thing, you don't have to go back to the capital to get the title of county king, which saves you a lot of trouble."

Zhao Mo looked at her blankly and suddenly wiped his face: "I have to send Zhen Zhong away."

The eunuch left after issuing the decree. He had completed his task and should immediately return to Beijing to deliver the decree without delay. But when he was leaving the dock, he caught a glimpse of Zhen Zhong kneeling in the crowd in a daze, and he recognized him.

Who is it? He smiled softly, curled his lips, then rode on his horse, led the soldiers escorting him, and left without looking back.

Zhen Zhong was still in a daze when he heard the crowd around him getting up and talking about the angel in the palace who had just come to deliver the decree, and he just woke up. But his mind was still blank, and he couldn't figure out why his master's direct descendants

The eldest son Hui was suddenly given the title of a county prince by the emperor, and was also directly given a fiefdom and ordered to become a vassal? Not only did he not have to go back to the capital to thank him, but he also had to be summoned to return to the capital. Then did he still have to take Zhao Mo back to the house?

?

"Manager Zhen? Our prince wants to see you." A slightly familiar voice interrupted Zhen Zhong's thoughts. When he looked back, he turned out to be Zhao Mo's servant Ah Shou. It was obvious that his identity was really different, so Zhao Mo sealed him.

Prince, Ah Shou immediately changed his mind. Although the prince's identity is one level higher than that of the county king, if Zhao Mo gets this title, he will probably not have to look at Zhao Shuo's face in the future, because even if he is disliked by Zhao Shuo

, unable to become the heir to the Liao Palace, he also has the title of county prince. Whether Zhao Shuo's favorite son can successfully become the grandson or crown prince depends on the face of the emperor and the court. If he is the son who fills the house and is the legitimate son, he must also

He was restrained by his eldest brother who already had the title of prince. If he were a concubine, he would probably not be recognized by the court at all.

Zhen Zhong got on the boat with a gloomy face and came to the front cabin, where only Zhao Mo was sitting.

Zhao Mo looked up at him and said directly without saying hello: "Uncle Zhen, it's time for you to go back to the capital. Don't waste any more time in Cangzhou."

Zhen Zhong smiled coldly: "Brother, maybe he feels that his wings have become hardened, and the emperor and the prince have to look at each other differently, so there is no need to take the prince in their eyes anymore. But between father and son, filial piety still needs to be respected. No matter how high the status is,

If you don't abide by the etiquette and law, you will still be condemned by the world, and I'm afraid that my position as the county king will not be secure."

Zhao Mo sneered and dismissed: "What do you think I am showing off in front of you? Idiot! No wonder everything is not going well for my father in the capital. It is because he is surrounded by stubborn people like you! I want you to return to the capital immediately.

I don’t mean to shame my father, but I want you to go back and warn me! I just asked you that the chamberlain in the palace left the capital only one day later than you, and the chamberlain in the East Palace recognizes you. What do you think this means? Why does the emperor

Will you give me a fiefdom, ask me to join the vassalship directly without returning to the capital to thank you, and still have to call me back to the capital? Don't tell me, you can't even understand this!"

Zhen Zhong was stunned for a moment, then showed a thoughtful expression, and then his face turned frightened.

Zhao Mo snorted coldly: "You think you are keeping it secret, but you don't know that everything is seen by the emperor. Doesn't the emperor know what his father is planning? It's just because of the friendship over the years, and

Seeing that my father had not made a big mistake, he was just confused for a moment, so he has not regretted it so far. In this case, my father just admitted his mistake honestly, stayed in peace from now on, and shared the emperor's worries, that's all. He refused to write a letter to apologize, and only asked around for information.

Because of your connections, you urgently summoned me back to plead for mercy. This is putting the cart before the horse! No wonder the emperor is angry. This is the emperor's last warning, which is to tell you not to think about asking me to go back and put in a good word for father. What the emperor wants is for father to write a letter in person.

Admit your mistake. If you have reached this point and you are still stubborn, I have nothing to say. If my father is really down and out in the future, with nothing and nowhere to go, Suning is my fief, and I can still guarantee his food and clothing.

Worry-free.”

Zhen Zhong's face was as white as a piece of paper. He fell to his knees with a plop, and for the first time he willingly bowed his knees to this little master: "Brother, the prince is your biological father after all, you can't ignore him!

If you can't return to Beijing, you can always submit a letter. Since the emperor can make you the county king, it shows that he looks at you differently..."

Zhao Mo interrupted him: "Stop taking chances! Whatever the emperor wants my father to do, my father should do it. If you go against the emperor and act against the emperor's wishes, won't your father think about the future?!

What are temporary gains and losses? Take a long-term view!"

Zhen Zhong choked immediately, his expression declined, as if he finally realized that he had said something stupid.

Zhao Mo slowed down his tone again: "After this test, father should find a way to return to Liaodong. He is the crown prince of Liao, and his roots are in Liaodong. Apart from that, whether he is a member of the holy family or the Wang family, they are all mirrors.

Flowers in the middle, moon in the water. What's the point of always hanging around in the capital? Sooner or later he will inherit the throne of King of Liao. If he gets a title in vain but can't convince the generals of Liaodong, what kind of king of Liao is he? What kind of king is he? The situation in the capital

It's complicated. Although the Wang family has retreated, there are still aftermaths. It may not be good for my father to avoid it. I know you always like to be stupid, and that's all you can say. It's up to you whether you listen or not. I just hope

Don't be so stupid as to cause trouble for me. If I lose the title of county king, I will not even have the final escape route. When the time comes when our father and son go to drink the northwest wind together, will my father be happy?

"

He said nothing more and drove Zhen Zhong off the ship. Zhen Zhong stood on the dock for half a day, then turned around and left. Zhao Mo estimated that he would not be stupid to the end, and immediately returned to Beijing to tell Zhao Mo

It's not too late to report the master's degree.

It's just me, but I have to say goodbye to the Qin family.

Qin Bai and Niu were both full of reluctance, and no one expected that the emperor would issue such a decree. Although they had long expected that there would be a day of separation, they did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

Qin Hanzhen said: "Cousin Zhao has a lot of luggage, and his men also brought a lot of goods back to Beijing. Although it is convenient to transfer directly from Cangzhou to Suning, it is impossible to separate his luggage in a day and a half.

It’s done. Let’s just stay in Cangzhou for a few more days, and we can also take the opportunity to get together for a few more days. By the way, we still have the Feng family in the fleet, so we might as well let someone take advantage of the time to divide the luggage and leave some that are temporarily unused.

We will load the large luggage on a separate ship and send a few family members to escort it, and we will go to Beijing to settle it together with the Feng family. Next, we will go to Tianjin to visit great-grandfather's grave, so we won't drag the Feng family along. That way, grandparents

I can feel more comfortable."

Qin Bai agreed with his granddaughter's suggestion: "That's okay. There are many people in the fleet, the ship is heavy and the luggage is heavy. If we go together, it will actually go slower. They leave first. Even if we have to be delayed on the road for a few more days, we can get on our way.

It’s also more convenient than before.”

Zhou Xiangnian, Uncle Huber and others took the order and left, divided the luggage, arranged for servants, negotiated with the Feng family, and sent a letter back to the Marquis of Chengen in the middle of the capital, asking the chief to send someone to pick him up. On the other side of Tianjin, arrangements must also be made in advance

Someone went to take care of it.

Qin Bai asked for a yard at the inn near the dock, and took his wife Niu to settle there first. Since he was going to stay in Cangzhou for a few more days, it was naturally more comfortable to live on the shore than on the ship.

Zhao Mo stayed on the boat. Qin Hanzhen stayed with him to comfort him: "Don't think too much. Although the decree comes suddenly, your actions will be restricted in the future. But just because you can't go back to Beijing doesn't mean you can't go back to Beijing."

Correspondence? My grandfather and I can also visit you. Suning is not far from the capital. We have been to the south of the Yangtze River. Are you still afraid of the 400 miles? Besides, you can’t return to the capital unless you are summoned. Just be summoned.

Well. July is the Queen Mother’s birthday, October is the Longevity Festival, and there is a big New Year greeting, what a good reason. With my grandfather here, you don’t have to worry about being forgotten by the palace."

Zhao Mo laughed when he heard this: "Cousin, there's no need to comfort me. It's not a bad thing to hide quietly in Suning for a few years. I just don't have to worry about those annoying things in Beijing, and I can just concentrate on farming. If I can find out how to manage the saline-alkali land

The only way is to achieve immeasurable merit. Why go back to Beijing? I have no interest in socializing with others and looking at those people's fake smiles."

Qin Hanzhen saw him smiling, and felt a little relieved: "Cousin, just think openly. Actually, what's the point? Suning County is not a small place. When I am in the capital, I can only walk around in the city. Your Majesty

You rarely go out of the palace, and His Highness the Crown Prince rarely has the opportunity to go out of the palace now. At least your scope of activities is wider than theirs, no one cares about you, and your life is much freer than ours."

Zhao Mo showed a gentle expression: "Indeed, what's the point? What I'm worried about is that it will be inconvenient to see my cousin from now on. In this case, while we are still together, I have something to ask my cousin

."

Qin Hanzhen was curious: "What are you talking about?"

"Now... I am the king of the county, and I have a fiefdom. I no longer have nothing, and I have some confidence." Zhao Mo smiled a little shyly, "Please forgive me for having the courage to ask my cousin if I have any."

Have you thought about your future plans? Sooner or later, the girl’s family will get married, and my cousin will naturally get married one day. I wonder if I will humiliate my cousin. I wonder if my cousin can consider me? "

"Ah?" Qin Hanzhen didn't react for a moment and looked at him blankly.

Zhao Mo was wearing a white robe, standing in the wind. In the sky behind him, the clouds were blown away by the wind, revealing the sun, which shone on him, as if dyeing him with a circle of golden light. The wind gently blew his black hair.

, it also made Qin Han really narrow his eyes.

One sentence reached her ears: "Hanzhen, will you marry me in the future?"
