Chapter 928 Waiter

The emperor and the prince had always planned to weaken the power of the Liao Palace, especially in terms of military power. Although they did not mention this to Zhao Mo explicitly, Zhao Mo could guess it from daily contacts, so he knew it well.

of.

The border in Liaodong is generally peaceful, with fewer small-scale conflicts than the Datong and Yulin sides. It can be said to be quite peaceful. The border army in Liaodong is also pretty good. Although there are no particularly outstanding generals,

Most of the guards are relatively reliable and have a relatively harmonious relationship with each other.

The Prince of Liao's Palace used to have the power to control these generals, but since the King of Liao got old and none of his three sons could take over his duties, the influence of the Prince of Liao's Palace in the Liaodong Army began to decline. Today's military affairs in Liaodong are basically

It was all solved by several resident generals after discussing with each other. Even if it was apparently necessary

It is necessary to inform the King of Liao's Palace or seek his opinion, but the King of Liao has less control, and the military has made more decisions in private. In recent years, there have been several incidents between the King's Palace and the border troops.

After the small conflict, the relationship between the Liao Palace and the Liaodong Frontier Army became increasingly estranged.

Here, Zhao Mo's father, Zhao Shuo, tried to consolidate his position as the heir apparent by intervening in the military, but he failed and had to flee back to the capital in despair, which may have deepened the military's resentment towards the Liao Palace. Of course,

The other two sons of the King of Liao did not do anything good in the army, and the military felt that there was no successor to the King of Liao's palace.

Since the Liao Palace has lost its role in guarding the place, and the Liao King himself has never gotten along well with the emperor, and his wife and children have made stupid mistakes and acted improperly one after another, there are more reasons for the Liao Palace to be abolished.

The emperor and the prince had discussed it privately. Although it was not the time to touch the King of Liao yet, as long as his family made another big mistake, it would be natural for him to be demoted and revoked. If the King of Liao did not make a big mistake, it would be natural.

, with the title of a county king, retiring in the Liao Prince's Mansion in the capital, it is enough for the emperor's grace. But if he himself is not interested, then he can't even get the title of a county king, it will be

It's not a big deal. The emperor and the prince did pity Zhao Mo, but Zhao Mo already had the title of a county prince, a fief, and a mansion. He didn't have to rely on his father's honor to survive, and he didn't have anything to do with the title of the Liao Palace.

The idea is that it will not be affected much by the withdrawal of the vassal. As long as the palace of the Liao Prince is withdrawn, there will be no need for Zhao Shuo, the crown prince of the Liao Prince, to exist, which will just punish him for his past boldness.

The emperor and the prince privately discussed the process of abolition. In order to avoid causing turmoil in the clan and suspicion among the courtiers, they planned to do it slowly, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the Liao family and force them to jump over the wall.

In other words, the Prince of Liao's Mansion is indeed a grasshopper after the fall, and will not live long. In the future, the status of Prince Liao and his son will definitely plummet. But this matter is still a secret at present. A woman from the Chen family who goes out to spread the word,

You shouldn't know. It's something that everyone knows.

, did the masters of the Chen family also know? Who told them? Chen Liangdi? How did Chen Liangdi know? Although she is the concubine of the East Palace, the prince has always kept public and private affairs separate, and there is no reason to leak such important secrets.

Let a concubine who has fallen out of favor for a long time know.

Zhao Mo thought a lot and became more and more vigilant. He felt that he might need to secretly remind the prince to avoid hidden dangers in the East Palace.

Zhao Yan had no idea what Zhao Mo was thinking when he loudly scolded the Chen family for being shameless and arrogant. Anyway, after Zhao Yan finished scolding, he felt much better and could talk to others calmly. He casually

I picked a piece of snack and ate it, my eyes lit up: "Huh? This snack is good, is it made of mung beans? It's not too sweet, the taste is quite refreshing, but very fragrant."

Zhao Mo came back to his senses a little bit: "Oh, that's a snack made from the exclusive secret recipe of Yongjia Hou Mansion. It's called Jade Ruyi Cake, right? It's made of mung beans and mint."

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "Because it is made of mung beans and has a bit of green, so it is called Jade Ruyi Cake? This name is too bad. Our dim sum in Liao Prince's Palace also has this name, but it is

Completely different taste and ingredients." He picked another piece to eat and continued, "Among the birthday gifts prepared by my mother-in-law for the Crown Princess, there was a pair of Ruyi jadeite stones, which were very valuable. She was angry at the Chen family's change of heart and felt that

The Chen family looked down on Zhao Li and the Liao Palace, so they wanted to give Chen Liangdi some color, so they turned to the Crown Princess. It just so happened that the Crown Princess was having her birthday soon, which was bigger than the birthdays of the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince.

Earlier, Concubine Mu and Zhao Li planned to fawn over him instead. In fact, the pair of jade Ruyi was originally prepared for the Queen Mother, but now it was given to the Crown Princess in advance. They had to spend some money in Beijing.

Let’s buy something else instead of Ruyi.”

Zhao Mo smiled: "How does the princess plan to curry favor with the Crown Princess? Where is the Crown Princess missing this pair of jade Ruyi?"

"Of course it's not just a pair of Ruyi, there are also many valuable things." Zhao Yan said with a sneer, "The mother-in-law has asked people to find out if there is a girl of the right age in the Tang family. It seems that Zhao Yan is trying to find a girl.

He has made up his mind that he must become a brother-in-law with the prince. Fortunately, this time, his vision is a little better, and he no longer keeps an eye on the natal family of His Highness the prince's concubine, but knows how to seek help from the palace empress."

In fact, Zhao Yan does not think that his mother will succeed. If the Tang family behind the Crown Princess Tang can really be bought with a generous gift, the Liao Palace will not be able to keep up with them and have to surround the Chen family.

Turned around. The step-concubine of the Liao King was probably so angry that she wanted to take this opportunity to beat the Chen family. Wasn’t the Chen family just relying on the fact that they had a daughter who became the prince’s concubine and gave birth to the prince’s only heir?

Will he become arrogant? The emperor's grandson has been dead for an unknown number of years, and the foundation of the Chen family is unstable. He still wants to put on airs in front of the clan prince. Do you really think that the tiger is a sick cat?!

While scolding his family, Zhao Yan sneered and speculated about their possible future, as if he had forgotten that he was also a member of the Liao Palace. When he had scolded enough and it was getting late, he drank half a bowl of tea and drank it.

After moistening his dry throat, he stood up and left.

After Zhao Mo sent the person away, he stayed in the study and thought. He hesitated again and again before he figured out how to find out whether the Chen family had learned about the palace news from Chen Liangdi, and the Chen family had

Who did he leak to? Where did Chen Liangdi learn about the withdrawal of the vassal state...etc. These matters must be investigated and clarified without any omissions. Only with conclusive evidence can he inform the East Palace of the matter.

The prince, the prince decides how to deal with it.

Before any news came back from the investigators sent by Zhao Mo, the kitchen steward of Prince Liao's Mansion, Mammy, was escorted by Ah Shou's insiders who were stationed in Prince Liao's Mansion. She wore a hooded black cloak and ran to him in a low-key and fast manner overnight.

He sneaked in quietly through the side door of his new house, appeared in front of Zhao Mo, and told him an important secret he had just discovered.

She felt that there might be something wrong with the tea given by the Queen of Liao.

The concubine of the King of Liao used to be in good health. When she went to Beijing a few years ago, although she finally returned to Liaodong in despair, her body never had any major problems. She adapted well to the capital and had no symptoms of acclimatization. And this time

Back to the question, even if the concubine of the Liao king was tired while on the road and suffered a stroke due to the hot weather, it stands to reason that it would only be a matter of taking two doses of medicine. You know, she has been asking the imperial doctor to see her since she came to Beijing.

, it stands to reason that this imperial doctor's medical skills are also very good. A minor symptom such as heatstroke can be cured with just two doses of medicine. However, these medicines that he took did not seem to have any effect. On the contrary, it was the illness of the Queen of Liao's concubine.

It's getting more serious.

The stewardess said worriedly: "When I first had this idea, just to be safe, I quietly paid attention to the movements in the waiter, so as not to wrongly accuse a good person. I discovered that there was a young boy among them. He was not very old and was very popular.

He was a little stupid, but because the tea was brewing well, he stayed in the tea room and waited for orders. This boy had sneaked out before the prince and princess entered the house. When he came back, he had a small bag in his hand, and he didn't know how to pretend.

After that, he had a lot of money on hand, and he even entertained guests generously. An old man from the governor privately advised him to save some money, but he ignored it, saying that there was a way to get the money.

It's a pity that I can't introduce it to others. I think this person is very suspicious. He has no place to get the money, and he doesn't get much reward on weekdays. Where does the money come from? If there is really extra money in the princess's tea

If he added something that shouldn’t have been added, then he should be the most suspect!”

Zhao Mo frowned and looked at the other party: "Do you know what was added to the tea?!"

The steward didn't know about it: "I don't know either, but the princess is so ill now. If something is really added to the tea, it can't be good. My lord, if you find out about this, please tell me."

Please say a few good words for the little ones. The princess's illness is really not caused by us!"

Her expression looked scared and hesitant. Zhao Mo didn't know what she was hesitating about. Showing this expression would only tell everyone that she knew the "truth"!

So Zhao Mo said to her: "Do you know something that others don't know? Don't worry, just say it."

The steward was speechless for a while, and then she whispered to Zhao Mo: "Your Majesty, there is no evidence for this...but...the prince actually had a conversation with me before he moved away.

In the mist, the little one didn’t understand much. He only roughly guessed that the prince seemed to want me to help him add some inappropriate things to the princess’s meal. The little one was timid and afraid of causing trouble, so he didn’t dare to agree.

.Soon after that, I discovered that the waiter at the waiter had more money, and the princess' condition became more and more serious. I wonder... is there any connection between this? "

It’s actually Zhao Shuo!

Zhao Mo's mind went blank for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

Unexpectedly, his father had such courage! No wonder he hurriedly moved out of the Liao Prince's Mansion before the Liao Prince and his wife moved in. Is this to avoid suspicion?!
