Chapter 2292 Light Gate Lintel 92
When Zhao Kang returned to Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother asked.
Looking at the kind-hearted Queen Mother, Zhao Kang had already become cold-hearted. The search for medicine was not something the Queen Mother said she was looking for, someone revealed it to him. He went there in order to show his filial piety and gain the emperor's attention.
As Xining said, if you really wanted to save him, even if you didn't stop him, you would send a team of black feather guards to follow him.
And because the third prince was afraid that the Xuanhumen incident would be leaked, he was determined to hunt him down.
If the prince dies outside, there must be a strict investigation. It was found out that his death was caused by the third prince, and the third prince would never be able to succeed again.
Now that the prince is about to turn 30, even the prince's palace is still fighting to the death, but there are currently two grandsons. The incompetence of the prince is convenient for control. If the prince is disobedient, there are many cases where the younger son will succeed him after the regicide.
After living for sixteen years, he has never been so transparent, and it was all enlightened by Xi Ning. I really don’t know how this little girl is so familiar with these things. No wonder Guo Siyuan said she could be a mountain spirit transformed into a human form.
He pretended to be as submissive as before: "My father said that my grandson was being hunted down before, and my third brother was the one in charge. I asked my grandson what he thought."
"Oh, is this really true?"
The Queen Mother's surprised look made Zhao Kang even more disgusted. Even if he knew something, he couldn't believe that the Queen Mother didn't know it.
"My grandson was confused for a moment. He didn't dare to have any ideas. He completely obeyed his father's arrangements. He only asked his father to spare his third brother's life."
The Queen Mother nodded: "He is a kind-hearted child."
Zhao Kang hurriedly said: "It was taught by the Imperial Grandmother before that brothers should help each other. The third brother should also be confused for a while and eager for quick success."
What a moment of confusion, it has been planned for a long time, but I don't want to tell this adopted grandson about this matter. He was not trained as a future emperor in the first place. Even the prince, he worked hard to raise him to waste.
The Queen Mother asked softly: "Did you see anyone in the past tense?"
"I saw the prince brother." Zhao Kang pretended to have just remembered: "I saw the prince brother kneeling with broken porcelain pieces all over the floor. My father seemed to have just lost his temper, which really frightened my grandson. My heart is still beating fast.”
The prince must have said something that he shouldn't have said. He is almost thirty years old and is still so stupid. However, with the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the big tree of the Wang family, as long as the Prince does not take the initiative to murder the Emperor or the Prince, this position is still his. Otherwise, if the prince comes down, who can come up? How many days will he be able to sit on the throne after he goes up?
The Queen Mother sighed slightly and asked: "What else did you say?"
"And..." Zhao Kang thought for a while, continued to pretend to be frightened, and recalled what happened in the palace: "My father asked his grandson his age and said that it was time to consider life-long matters."
Answer honestly, he won’t tell anyway, there are so many informants inside and outside the palace, one of them will tell the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother immediately seemed to become relaxed, forgetting all the troubles just now: "That means she is going to get married and open a house by herself. Is there anyone you like?"
"No!" Zhao Kang gently pulled the Queen Mother's sleeve embroidered with a continuous longevity picture, as if coquettishly, and said pitifully: "My grandson wants to stay with the Queen Mother for two more years."
The Queen Mother smiled, patted Zhao Kang's hand, leaned on it and sighed: "The Ai family is reluctant to part with it, but when they grow up, they will eventually leave the Ai family. Maybe they will be crowned king directly and go to the fiefdom."< br>
"Wouldn't that mean we are further away from the imperial grandmother?" Zhao Kang said anxiously: "No, the grandson has to tell his father that the grandson does not want to get married or be given a title. If not, the grandson will simply tie up his hair and enter Taoism, just in the palace. Taoist practice inside.”
"Nonsense, you are a prince, even if you become a Taoist priest, you can't live in a Taoist temple full of sisters-in-law." Although the Queen Mother scolded her, she said with a smile, and she was so happy that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes. "Royal grandmother, my grandson can't bear to leave you." Zhao Kang's eyes turned red as he said it... Xining was right, no family ties in the palace can compare to rights. If you want to survive, you all rely on acting. As long as you act in a way that you think is true, others will believe it.
The Queen Mother thought he was really sad, and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know you are the most filial. It has been a busy day, so go to your room and have a good rest. Don't think too much about other things, Tian family affairs, It’s not your turn to make the decision, so don’t forget to drink the ginseng and pigeon soup specially prepared for you by the Ai family.”
"My grandson is unfilial, so let the imperial grandmother worry about it." Zhao Kang said a few words to the Queen Mother and then left.
Soon after, in mid-December, just before the Chinese New Year, the emperor issued two edicts.
The third prince Zhao Huai was granted the title of Prince Duan, and the land was granted to the state. He must go to the fiefdom within fifteen days and cannot enter the capital without an edict.
The eleventh prince, Zhao Kang, was granted the title of King Xin and granted the title of Yizhou. She was also given a marriage, and the first daughter of the Minister of Industry was the principal concubine; the second daughter of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the fourth daughter of the Minister of Etiquette were the side concubines. After getting married in March of the next year, I went to the fiefdom.
The third prince, not now Prince Duan, vented his anger by smashing things in his mansion.
King Duan just asked him to correct his attitude. The people in Dengzhou were fierce and bandits were rampant. It is also a peninsula. If you want to rebel, you only need to send a letter to the inland entrance after getting the news, and you can immediately form a siege.
What's more important is that once you are crowned king, you will have no chance of being crowned king. Far away from the capital, it was already out of reach. He was not allowed to enter the capital without an order, and the last road was blocked.
Concubine Zheng De also cried and was scolded by the emperor. His own son had killed his siblings and destroyed all the Xuanhumen. If he hadn't done this for the sake of being a prince, he would have exterminated his family and his family, and he would have been demoted if he continued to cause trouble. Concubine Zheng De was so frightened that she stopped talking. In her palace, it was so bad that she was smashing things and punishing the palace people every day. This is quite similar to her son.
The emperor called Zhao Kang for questioning, but Zhao Kang knelt down to thank him.
"My father is well aware that the child is used to being idle. Yizhou is close to the sea and is rich in fish, shrimp and seafood. The child will be blessed by then. It's a pity that seafood cannot live long outside the water. It can only be salted and dried before being sent to the capital. The taste is far inferior. There is Penglai nearby, and the little miraculous doctor said that she also wants to have a look. If I go with her then, even if I can't find the legendary old god and ask for the miraculous medicine, there should be rare herbs there."
They are both princes, and their fiefdom is close to the sea. Dengzhou is larger than Yizhou, with no borders on three sides, all is the sea, so there is no need to worry about other borders. As long as you live a good life and close the door, you will be far more comfortable than Yizhou.
But the third prince treated him harshly, beating him and scolding him in the house for several days.
But this son wanted to send overseas goods to Beijing to pay tribute, and went to Penglai to find a panacea.
"It's good to know my painstaking efforts." The emperor asked tentatively: "Are you satisfied with the marriage that I and the queen have chosen for you?"
They are all legitimate daughters, but all of their parents' families are ministers, and there is no minister. Even the ministers are from the Ministry of Industry, the Hanlin Academy, and the Ministry of Rites, who have little real power or even have a sinecure position.
Zhao Kang bowed again: "Thank you very much, father and mother, I am satisfied."
"Really satisfied?" The emperor himself didn't believe it.
The third prince's concubine was originally chosen by Concubine Zheng De herself, and she chose the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War or the Marquis of Dingyuan. How is this possible? The Ministry of War is in charge of the military power, and Marquis Dingyuan guards the northern border. If there is any disloyalty, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The second election turned out to be the legitimate daughter of General Zhennan. She gave up the north and wanted the south, and her ambition was almost not written on her face.
She insisted on changing her name to the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Punishment, and even caused a lot of trouble.
