Uncle Dong Guo was suddenly summoned and was frightened.
On that day, when he revealed what he had said to the Duke of Chu, he was always restless, fearing that the Xu family would lose their temper and expose the matter.
Fortunately, it was quiet back there and nothing happened, so I felt a little calmer.
There was nothing else to do at the moment. Emperor Mingde summoned him to the palace. Uncle Dong Guo immediately thought of this matter.
To be honest, he doesn't want to see this brother-in-law at all now. As long as he thinks about Yan Cheng's different life experience, he can't help but feel resentful to Emperor Mingde. But this is his brother-in-law and even the emperor, can he still go and question him?
With mixed feelings, Uncle Dong Guo went to the palace.
After attending the ceremony, Uncle Dong Guo suddenly heard the palace door slamming shut, and was shocked. Looking up again, he found that he and Emperor Mingde were the only two people left in the room.
Emperor Mingde looked as usual. While pouring tea with his own hands, he asked his brother-in-law: "It has been more than half a year since I came to Beijing. Are you still used to it?"
Uncle Dong Guo forced a smile: "Get used to it, get used to it. I grew up in Beijing, how can I not get used to it?"
Emperor Mingde nodded: "That's right. Although I haven't returned to the capital for many years, my brother is also an old man in the capital."
Uncle Dong Guo laughed, feeling very puzzled. What on earth did this emperor's brother-in-law want to do? Did he come to him just to chat?
Then I heard Emperor Mingde say: "I remember that my brother put a lot of effort into opening a bank in the capital. I think after so many years of business, you are very familiar with the land in the capital, right?"
Uncle Dong Guo nodded, not understanding what he meant.
His bank has contributed a lot to the Duke of Zhao in recent years. Yan Ling was forced to stay in the capital at first, and he would just go to the bank to greet him when he had something to do. Later, he also spent a lot of money on military expenses.
Emperor Mingde pushed the tea over and said pleasantly: "Therefore, I would like to ask my brother for a favor."
Could Uncle Dong Guo still refuse? He could only reply: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Emperor Mingde gently opened the lid of the tea and said: "Not only brother, I also grew up in Beijing. Every time I think of those days of calling friends, it makes me deeply moved. I even felt cold a few days ago, and I
I suddenly remembered something in my dream..."
He paused and looked at Dong Guojiu: "Brother, do you still remember Liu Jia Qi Lang? The one who is the same age as you."
How could Uncle Dong Guo not remember? His sister was friends with Miss Liu, and he would see the Liu family from time to time. The seventh son of the Liu family was born from the same mother as Miss Liu. Mrs. Dong asked him if the prince looked similar to the Liu family.
The first thing he thought of was Liu Jia Qilang.
Emperor Mingde continued: "As long as you remember. I bet on polo with him and promised to pick a good horse for him when I lost. Many things happened after that, and there was no chance of fulfilling this promise. He was in the dream
Ask me if I have chosen a horse for him. When I woke up, I was thinking about it. The Liu family fled to death in the puppet emperor's dynasty, and the whereabouts of the seventh son of the Liu family are also unknown, and I don't know if he survived..."
At this point, Dong Guojiu already knew what he wanted him to do. He couldn't help but feel angry. What's this? Let him, a fake uncle, go find the prince's real uncle? It would be too much!
"Your Majesty, I have just returned to Beijing not long ago. Although the banks in Beijing have been running, they don't have such great ability. I'm afraid you can find someone by your side who is more capable than me."
Emperor Mingde said, "This is my private matter, and I don't want them to know about it. I've been counting, but the only person I can entrust it to is you."
Uncle Dong Guo really didn't want to get involved: "Your Majesty..."
"You can search slowly." Emperor Mingde intercepted his words, "It doesn't matter how long it takes, you don't have to find the person, just do your best."
Uncle Dong Guo was depressed and was thinking about his words of rejection when suddenly an idea flashed across his face. Although he doubted Yan Cheng's life experience, he did not dare to investigate. Now that Emperor Ming De asked him to find the Liu family, isn't it an opportunity?
He looked hesitant: "Then... I'll give it a try."
Emperor Mingde smiled happily: "Thank you very much, brother, for your help."
…
When Uncle Dong Guo returned home, his face was extremely ugly.
He drove all the servants and women out, lowered his voice but could not hide his anger, and said to Mrs. Dong: "Your Majesty is really too much. He actually asked me to find Qilang of the Liu family! Did he take his sister to heart? Did he find the Liu family?
Should we get out of here?"
Mrs. Dong was startled by him and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth: "Oh my God! Can you say these words? If someone hears it, our family will be ruined!"
"What are you afraid of? If he finds out, then he will settle the score!" Having said that, Uncle Dong Guo still looked over to make sure that the servants and women were standing far away and no one could hear the couple talking.
He drank a cup of tea, calmed down, and said to Mrs. Dong: "I think we need to prepare for this matter. My sister is probably deceived. Your Majesty's attitude is unclear... Fortunately, the Xu family already knows. Waiting for Ah
When Ling comes back, we still have to fight. My sister has worked hard for their family, and A Ling has been through life and death. Why should the descendants of the Liu family come to sit on the country they conquered? Then the aunt of the Liu family is not a good person, and her son can still do evil things.
Does the bamboo produce good bamboo shoots?"
Mrs. Dong sighed: "I'm afraid we have to fight if we don't fight. King Jin hasn't come back yet, and there are already rumors outside. The prince..."
The couple frowned together. They knew that the Jin Palace had not done anything about it, so they saw some clues from the previous turmoil. Yan Cheng was not a tolerant person. If he was allowed to inherit the throne, from now on the queen,
Neither Yanling nor the Dong family will be happy!
"Ms. sir, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Dong asked, "Will you do it?"
"Do it!" Uncle Dong Guo said coldly, "I'm going to take this opportunity to search for clues, wait for A Ling to come back, and hand them over to my sister. My sister has a temperament that always thinks the best of people, but I don't know that some people look down on my sister and sister.
, he has done countless dirty things behind his back. I want to uncover them one by one, so that my sister can see the true face of Liu!"
The two families have been separated for more than 20 years, and Uncle Dong Guo actually doesn't know his brother-in-law very well. Yan Ling is his child, and Yan Cheng is also his child. Uncle Dong Guo is not sure who he will prefer.
But as far as today's matter is concerned, Emperor Mingde asked him to find Qilang Liujia, which was quite inhumane. Uncle Dong Guo thought about it and felt that he couldn't be too optimistic. What if Emperor Mingde just favored Yan Cheng?
After all, he had witnessed what happened between him and the Liu family's wife with his own eyes. If a man's eyes are wet, all his previous wisdom and prowess will be of no use.
Therefore, he had to be mentally prepared. If Emperor Mingde wanted his illegitimate son to be his heir, then he would have to help his sister and nephew to get what they deserved.
Fortunately, the situation is not bad now. If he can collect evidence as soon as possible and convince the Queen and Yan Ling, everything will be done in time.
