Chapter 384: Dealing with multiple parties
Rong Jingqiu glanced at Zhao Yu. This was the difference between men and women's thinking. Women were always moved by Governor Ning's deep affection for Concubine Rou, but men thought it was silly to do this. What's more, Concubine Rou died early and did not have time to establish a mother-son relationship with Zhao Yu. Her own growth process was too difficult, so she missed and resented her mother.
Rong Jingqiu looked at no one around, and Feng Debao didn't know where to hide. She suddenly reached out to hug Zhao Yu. When he looked at her, she said, "I envy her for giving birth to you." He reached out to describe his beautiful and delicate eyebrows, with full of likes in his eyes, "You are so beautiful, isn't it because of your mother who passed on your beauty to you."
Zhao Yu didn't expect her to say that. He didn't care much about his appearance. However, people who were young with good male style were obsessed with his face, which made him feel chilled for a while. Later, they took action to deal with it. Those people were afraid and didn't dare to make any more decisions about him.
Some palace maids and eunuchs also had the idea of slapping him in the face. Even if the rules in the palace are strict, there would be brave palace servants trying to hook him up, but in the end they were beaten to death by him with a reason. Along the way, this face caused him a lot of trouble.
After a long time, he started attending palace banquets and banquets in the capital. Looking at his face, there were many obsessed girls in the boudoir. But when they saw them, he treated them with a bad face. The girl in the boudoir has always been thin-skinned and could not stand his attitude. Gradually, no one dared to look at him unscrupulously. After all, a woman who was chasing a man who was ignoring his face was probably alive in the storybook. The real daughters of everyone cherish their reputation.
However, this led to him feeling quite disgusted with his face, and even once hated that he looked like Concubine Rou.
But at this time, I saw Rong Jingqiu's face that she liked her face. Only her liked would make him happy, which instantly healed the damage she felt because of this face when she was young.
However, it is wrong to praise a man for being beautiful, and appearance is irrelevant to a man. Besides, his face is useless except to attract her. Thinking of his childhood experiences, he still feels a chill, so he held her tightly and scolded her, "Nonsense."
When Rong Jingqiu saw his ears turn red quietly, she knew that he said this, but his body was very honest and was very helpful to her words. So she said, "I think I want to thank my mother. Without her, there would be no you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu held her arms tightened instantly, and the corners of his mouth raised high showed his good mood.
The weather is getting hotter and the water conservancy project in the new year is in full swing again. Sometimes the couple can't meet for several days. Rong Jingqiu is the designer of this series of projects. It takes a lot of time to run around to solve the problems arising in reality. What's more, other places will encounter problems. If the officials of the Ministry of Works cannot solve them, they will throw them over to find her, which makes her rest less and less, and sometimes she can't sleep for two or three hours.
Compared to her, Zhao Yu was paying more attention to the changes in the capital. News came every day, and he didn't have enough time. Even the 11th prince who had been idle was asked to share a certain amount of work.
The eleventh prince was still a young man and was not enthusiastic about the battle for the throne. After all, there were too many brothers on it, so he didn't have a great chance, so he just wanted to live with Zhao Yu. At that time, he made some achievements and then went to other departments to experience it, and became a prince of Taiping in the future.
Of course, if Zhao Yu had the will to fight for the throne, he would naturally be willing to help. If the ninth brother sitting on the dragon throne was his own, his life would not be too free. Of course, this is a beautiful idea, and it is very rare to realize it.
"Brother Jiu, these caravans have problems. It seems that they should be people from Mobei who have been involved in Da'an."
Zhao Yu took a few special glances at the person pointed out by the Eleventh Prince. Shanxi Province is the only way to go to the capital. Here you can often see caravans passing by. Even in the years of famine, they are still indispensable. After all, some places are not affected by disasters. For example, in Jiangnan, even the disaster in the capital is not serious, and caravans still make a lot of money when coming over.
"Brother Ninth, do you want to focus on them?" The Eleventh Prince said excitedly. This is a good opportunity. If he can perform well, he is afraid he will be awarded the throne this time.
Zhao Yu looked at the Eleventh Prince who wanted to have a big fight, but he had no intention of laughing at him. He was both the prince, and he knew what he was thinking, so he patted his shoulder, "The Eleventh Brother, be careful, don't alert the snake." The last four words were very loud, and these individuals were bait, and they had to cooperate with the emperor to implement the plan.
The eleventh prince said solemnly, "Don't worry, I know it."
Zhao Yu then let him leave.
The eleventh prince disguised himself as a businessman and quietly touched the caravans behind the caravans and slowly approached them. As long as his identity could stand the test, he could follow them openly.
At first, the tall caravan leaders didn't care much about the Eleventh Prince. But after seeing him following him, they became suspicious, so they looked at each other, then stopped the Eleventh Prince and shouted sternly about what he was going to do. Are they following them?
Speaking of the word "stalking", the leaders of the caravans were secretly alert and had murderous aura in their eyes. The eleventh prince came forward with a smile and greeted them, saying that he was a businessman in the capital. This time he wanted to go back to the capital, just the same way as them, and lead them to see the prepared road.
The leaders of the caravans knew Lu Yin, and after looking around, they didn't find any problems. They thought that it was better to have less than more things. They didn't kill them as soon as possible. Anyway, they were just under their noses. If there was any abnormal movement, it wouldn't be too late to kill them again.
The Eleventh Prince smiled with shamelessness. The best tracking was to sneak into the enemy's inside, so that there would be more things to know.
Slowly, he got along with these people. He originally only suspected that they were people who had sneaked into Da'an in Mobei, but now he can be sure that these people are definitely not from Da'an. After all, there is a large group of people who can't speak Da'an, and they don't get into the end of the caravan. They are inconspicuous at the distance, and they have nothing to do with the caravan, but they are the same group of people.
He secretly passed all these discoveries back to Zhao Yu, and then continued to follow the group of people to the capital.
Zhao Yu's side received the news and did not delay too much, and made a direct arrangement. As long as the whereabouts of these people are within their control, they will be sure that they cannot go out of the sky.
When he arrived in the capital, the 11th prince was not good to follow them. He originally wanted to find out their next itinerary and had a good idea. He just wanted to make money together. But after he finished speaking, one of the caravans said, "Brother, we have clear goods on this trip, so we won't compete for business with our brothers."
The Eleventh Prince was stunned, and this time he was even more sure that they were not serious business people. After all, for businessmen, pursuing profit is an instinct, and they will never miss any opportunity to make money.
"That's a pity. I originally thought that everyone would make money together. You have taken good care of your brothers during this period." The eleventh prince said with a regretful look on his face, and then bowed and said goodbye to them.
Seeing the eleventh prince leaving, a strong man turned to his face, "I don't believe this person, so I should solve it earlier, so as not to have too many dreams. Besides, I can't explain it to the prince."
"Gangqi, pay attention to your attitude. I am the leader of this team." The head of one of the caravans said coldly, "This is Da'an, killing people here. Do you want everyone to be finished early? Besides, the prince has said before that all actions must be carried out secretly and must not act rashly."
Although the young Da'an businessman was a little chattering and curious about everything, he had gained nothing along the way. With this man's cover, they even figured out the arrangements of the inns along the way, and there were so many military forces around them. They were the vanguards. Taking advantage of the army to drag Da'an's army, they entered Da'an from the small path, immediately broke into pieces and lurked into Da'an's hinterland, and finally met in the capital.
The strong man named Gangqi curled his lips dissatisfiedly, but he did not question it again. For the people of Mobei, obedience was the first element.
"Don't forget the purpose of our trip."
Hearing someone's reminder, Gangqi then put away his resentment and killed Emperor Da'an, and helped Princess Dora's husband to become the new emperor of Da'an. So the fertile grass ceded by Da'an is enough to support many young men in the royal court. Why worry about not being able to conquer the best land in Da'an in the future?
It is because they have a common goal that they can entrust each other to each other.
Until I saw Ertai come out to greet them in person and give them a big hug, this relieved all their fatigue, which was the future sweat.
That's right, the person who came to carry out the mission this time was Ertai's direct subordinate. He wanted to firmly hold the land that the Seventh Prince promised to him. In this way, he had the greatest capital to compete for the Khan, so this trip could only succeed but not fail.
It was still the same one who jumped out and said, "Prince, we can believe you, but we can't believe him." His finger pointed to Erqi beside him. This person with a gloomy appearance is always a monster. People on the grassland, both men, women, and young, hate him. After all, no one likes to play with those stabbing in the back. Awakening revenge is their usual style.
Erqi's expression turned cold. He did not deliberately move forward. These individuals were still trying to exclude him, which made his face unstoppable.
"Gangqi." The leader of the team who had scolded him before immediately shouted angrily.
Gangqi looked at Yeerqi indignantly and spat heavily, but he didn't say anything again.
Erqi snorted coldly. There were many people with a attitude like Gangqi. Their eyes made him angry. Ertai, the half-brother, turned a blind eye to the injustice he suffered as always. He seemed to have returned to the scene of being bullied by everyone in his childhood. His eyes suddenly turned red, and hatred grew wildly in his heart. He wished these people would not die well.
Whether it is the Da'an Dynasty or the Mobei Royal Court, these two places with blood relationships cannot tolerate him. Is he willing to have the blood of two countries? If the Da'an Dynasty's border guards were not effective and his mother was stolen by Mobei, he would not have been born.
It was not him who was wrong, but he was the one who took the consequences. How unfair is the way of heaven?
The more distorted and angry Erchi felt, the calmer his expression became, and there was no way people could see the madness that he wanted to destroy everything at this moment.
Although Ertai valued this half-brother, his deep-rooted theory of bloodline made him look down on Erqi from the bottom of his heart. Such a bastard is not worthy of being a brother to him, but he still needs him now, so he will naturally not reveal his true thoughts.
"Okay, if this plan can be successful, Erqi should remember his merit."
If it were before, Erqi might have moved the words of half-brother, but now he would not. If he was really willing to be fair, he would not have said these plausible words so late, and no one was moved by his words.
But the more this happens, the more humble Erqi said: "The prince is praised. I dare not take credit for it. For the sake of the royal court, I am willing to be heartbroken and die."
Sure enough, no matter how beautiful the words he said, they would only take them for granted in the ears of these people.
Xia Nightclub is a bit cooler than during the day. The Seventh Prince secretly met Xia Wei in an abandoned palace. Recently, Xia Wei is incredible and is the master of the harem. He is quite proud of his vision. Xia Wei is indeed worthy of use, but he is also vaguely worried that Xia Wei will be out of control and climb up the higher branches.
Fortunately, his father did not kill the Xia family for Xia Wei, which made him feel quite at ease. As long as the Xia family does not die, Xia Wei can use it for him. After all, he knows how strong this woman's hatred is.
Sure enough, Xia Wei, wearing a black cloak, arrived as scheduled, "The Seventh Prince." She was slightly blessed, with no arrogant or domineering on her face.
When the Seventh Prince saw Xia Wei like this, he felt completely relieved, "Empress Xia."
"Your Highness is smearing me, it's fine if others call me like this," Xia Wei said. "Your Highness is not ignorant of what I am, Concubine Xia." Then his eyes became cold, "Don't worry, whoever can help me revenge, I will naturally turn to someone. Your Majesty has no intention."
No matter how blunt she said it, she did not betray him just because she became Concubine Xia.
Only then did the Seventh Prince truly feel relieved, and he said directly: "I understand Miss Xia's thoughts."
The voice of Miss Xia made Xia Wei's eyes turn red, and a ripples in her heart couldn't help but feel a little rippled. From then on, she just wanted to be Miss Xia, but when her eyes were slightly lowered, there was a chill in her eyes. The Seventh Prince was always convinced and could not be indifferent to the death of her women and children. This person's heart was cold.
When she raised her eyes again, there was a hint of tears in her eyes, "Your Highness."
This claim was filled with tears, which moved the Seventh Prince. After so much effort, it was not easy to finally make this woman completely turn to him.
"How is the father's body?"
Xia Wei shook her head, "Everything is getting worse, but he is afraid that the court officials will see the clues and dare not show powerlessness." After a pause, "Your Majesty has a special person to try on his food, and he can't give him medicine, so he can only think of other ways."
The seventh prince frowned. It was really not easy to drug it. He thought Xia Wei could do it, but now he realized that this was a whim. Finally, he waved to Xia Wei cruelly and said a few words to her.
"Is this OK?" Xia Wei hesitated.
"You just say you can do it?"
Xia Wei thought for a while and finally nodded.
The two met for only a quarter of an hour and then separated in a hurry. What the Seventh Prince didn't know was that after seeing him, Xia Wei kept in contact with the Fourth Prince again.
The fourth prince is no better than the seventh prince. As a general, he has a calm eyes. He is skeptical about Xia Wei's initiative to show kindness, but with the mentality of being able to catch a rabbit and beating a rabbit, he did not know that Xia Wei brought such important news.
"real?"
Xia Wei turned her back on her appearance in front of the Seventh Prince. At this moment, she sneered, "Believe it or not."
The fourth prince pondered for a moment, and finally said, "What benefits do you want to get when doing this?"
"Is it counting to share the worries for the king?" Xia Wei spoke mockingly.
The fourth prince laughed, "Empress Xia really surprised me." He clearly didn't believe her words.
Xia Wei then said seriously, "What I want is what the Fourth Prince can afford. Don't worry, I won't speak loudly. If the Fourth Prince can make a contribution with this, don't forget me."
The fourth prince said, "Don't worry, Concubine Xia, as long as your news is true, we can naturally continue to cooperate in the future."
Xia Wei hooked her red lips, pulled her black cloak, and then disappeared into the night.
Back at the emperor's bedroom, she took off her black cloak and threw it to Zhang Jinxi beside her, and then walked in and saluted respectfully in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, I will live up to my mission."
When the emperor who was playing chess with him heard this, the chess piece in his hand was still stuck between his fingers and did not fall. He turned his head slightly to look at Xia Wei's expression with the candlelight. This woman has always been smart. At this moment, there is no charm in her eyes, but only awe of him, the emperor.
"Very good." When he said this, he dropped the chess piece in his hand onto the board.
Xia Wei stepped forward, carefully pinched the emperor's shoulders, and told him what he had had to do with the Seventh Prince and the Fourth Prince, "Your Majesty, do you want to do it? I am worried that there will be any changes at that time..."
The emperor reached out and held Xia Wei's hand, "Don't worry, I have my own qualities."
Xia Wei leaned her head on the emperor's shoulder and said extremely dependently, "The only thing I can rely on is Your Majesty. Your Majesty must not be in trouble, otherwise I don't know who to rely on."
The young girl's dependence made the emperor's old and hard heart slightly gentle, but in the end he patted Xia Wei's hand lightly and said nothing comforting.
Xia Wei's mouth curled slightly in a place where the emperor could not see it.
