Chapter 299: forgive him
Chapter 299 forgive him
Zhao Liya calmed down, of course she won't, and she won't give it a chance.
"Do you still like the things I sent people?" Zhou Hansheng knew that all the troubles were over, and he was finally relieved.
Reassuring, she became more courageous, and approached Zhao Liya with a smile, even daring to reach out and hold her hand.
Zhao Liya struggled lightly, but she didn't break free, so she let him go.
The two chatted for a while, then Zhou Hansheng smiled and said, "I have discussed with my father-in-law. The emperor will go hunting in a few days, and we will all go too. Then we will make our relationship public, okay? Father-in-law said, As long as you agree."
Zhao Liya knew something about Zhou Hansheng, raised her eyes and smiled: "What are you and my father planning?"
"My daughter-in-law is really smart!" Zhou Hansheng smiled and praised her, and gently squeezed her hand, wishing he could go over and kiss her again—he didn't dare. He nodded and sneered: "It's a plan, it's just a plan to let some people's calculations fail!"
Zhao Liya smiled without thinking: "Well, then you don't have to ask my opinion from now on, just tell me what you need me to do!"
Of course she will cooperate.
If you don't help your father and fiance, do you let others see the joke?
After returning to Beijing, she has gone out many times, visited teahouses and restaurants, heard, or deliberately inquired about some news. Even the people know that the crown prince is not liked by the emperor. It can be seen that the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince in the court is tense. to what extent.
She knew which side her dad was on.
Zhou Hansheng was so moved that he looked at her affectionately: "Xiaoya, you really trust me, you are so kind to me!"
Zhao Liya raised her eyebrows and smiled: "That goes without saying!"
The two were talking and laughing, Chun Xia, Chun Equinox, and Zhao Nan watched from afar, all very pleased.
The two masters didn't know why they seemed to have a conflict before, which made them worry and worry, and now it's finally over!
The matter of the emperor's hunt was already settled, and he set off on time four days later.
Zhao Xiang accompanied the driver, Zhao Liya also went, and Li Guogong and his eldest son Zhou Hansheng naturally also went.
The emperor brought Concubine Yan Gui to accompany the second prince, and the prince was left in the capital to look after the court and handle government affairs that should be dealt with.
Officials from the prince's line all sighed secretly, frowning, while the second prince's line gloated and waited for a good show.
This kind of drama is not the first time, it is repeated almost every time.
Whether the emperor hunts or escapes from the summer heat, he always brings Concubine Yan Gui and the second prince with him, and leaves the prince in the capital to handle government affairs.
The government affairs are not so easy to deal with. If you don't pay attention, you will be said to be usurping. Every time the emperor and the second prince come back, they can always pick out a lot of mistakes in the prince. Fortunately, the crown prince was always cautious and careful, even if the emperor and the second prince were picky, they still couldn't pick out any fatal mistakes.
Because for any government affairs that would give people an excuse to accuse us of usurpation, the prince will either wait for the emperor to come back to ask the emperor to deal with it, or if there is no delay, he will order someone to send it to the emperor quickly.
Of course, the emperor will reprimand you for being incompetent if you have a backlog of government affairs, and you will also be reprimanded for being incompetent if you rush to send them away, but every time the prince respectfully expresses that he still needs to learn and experience, and that it is about the people of Li, he dare not make decisions at will, respectfully Said that he will definitely make progress, and will definitely be more attentive next time. The emperor and the second prince can't find any faults.
The emperor was helpless.
The prince is the prince after all, a large number of civil servants support the prince, and many honorable clans also support the prince. Buckle up the reputation of a faint king.
He has never concealed his desire to depose the prince, but he must depose the prince openly.
Then, the prince must really have committed a crime worthy of being deposed, so as to block the mouth of the world. Only then can he prove that he was right to abolish the prince, not because of selfishness, but for the country and society that his ancestors worked so hard to build.
He was very stubborn on this point, so stubborn that Concubine Yan Gui and the second prince's mother and son would grit their teeth and feel aggrieved when they talked about it behind their backs, but there was nothing they could do about it.
The ministers also seemed to see through this point keenly. The civil servants who supported the prince finally had some hope of running ahead, and there were so many civil servants who always insisted on standing on the prince's side. Otherwise, not to mention that people's hearts are completely dispersed, they are almost dispersed.
In fact, the second prince is also responsible for this.
The second prince has been favored since he was a child, especially he doesn't like to read and write in the study room, and has a bad relationship with civil servants. He even publicly mocked Yushitai and Imperial Academy, but he is very fond of generals.
Since ancient times, the Chinese and military battles in the court have never stopped, and this dynasty is naturally the same.
Civil servants all know that if the second prince is in the upper court, the generals must be the ones who speak their minds, so what else can they do? Even if you don't fight for a place for the prince or yourself, you must not easily back down and lose to the second prince.
The crown prince has been struggling to survive in this crack for so many years, like walking a tightrope, if he is a little careless, he will be doomed.
This is why he values Zhao Xiang so much.
Among the civil servants, the second prince only looked at Zhao Xiang more pleasingly, because Zhao Xiang never underestimated him. Those civil servants were respectful when they saw him, but he could feel that they looked down on him in their hearts, as if he was an idiot. This feeling was never experienced by Zhao Xiang.
Furthermore, Zhao Xiang had been the crown prince and Taifu, and was born as the number one scholar. He had a very high reputation among scholars, and one Zhao Xiang was worth countless insignificant civil servants.
As long as Zhao Xiang is taken down, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the prince!
The royal hunting ground is three or four days away from the capital. Because the second prince likes to hunt, the emperor will go to the hunting ground once or twice a year. This official road is well maintained every day. It is wide and flat. The emperor's trips are naturally safe and comfortable. , the speed is neither slow nor fast, after these three or four days, Zhao Liya does not feel tired.
On the way, Zhou Hansheng was with his father, and Zhao Liya was with the female relatives of various families. The two did not have the opportunity to meet each other. Occasionally, Zhao Nan would secretly come over after dark to deliver some things and ask one or two questions, such as "Is anyone bullying you", "Are you tired on the road today", "How are you eating and resting", "Are you not used to it?" , "I'll take you to play when I get there" and so on, Zhao Liya was sweet and happy in her heart.
I didn’t even care about the deliberate cynicism I heard along the way.
