In early spring, there is also a sharp spring cold.
The plump King Zhao walked very slowly and soon arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The servant who was guarding the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony saluted King Zhao: "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go in and pass the news."
King Zhao chuckled and said good-naturedly: "Okay, I will wait here."
After a while, Eunuch Yang came out.
The former emperor's servants were all sent to the imperial mausoleum to guard the late emperor's mausoleum. Once the emperor, there were ministers. Now, Eunuch Yang is the chief chamberlain in the palace and a popular person around the emperor.
King Zhao was very polite to Eunuch Yang: "How dare you bother Eunuch Yang to greet you?"
Eunuch Yang hurriedly smiled and said: "His Highness said this, which really offends this slave. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, and please His Highness follow this slave into the palace."
King Zhao hurriedly stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This palace was where Emperor Long'an handled political affairs in his daily life. Over the past few decades, King Zhao had entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony countless times. He was very familiar with the furnishings here.
When I entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony again, I felt a little strange.
Here, the world is already dominated by the new emperor. In front of him are the unfamiliar faces of the eunuchs, the emperor's personal guards with sharp eyes, and the Qing'an Emperor sitting high on the dragon throne.
At this moment, King Zhao's mood was complicated and beyond words.
All complex thoughts are hidden under a thick mask.
"My brother has met the emperor." King Zhao stepped forward quickly, knelt down upright and kowtowed three times.
Emperor Qing'an stood up from the dragon chair, walked over, and personally helped King Zhao up: "Third brother, please get up quickly. You and I are brothers, so there is no need to pay this grand ceremony."
There is really no need to salute, you should have come to help me earlier! I have already knelt on my knees and kowtowed my head, so you are here to help me now.
King Zhao complained in his heart, with tears of gratitude on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two brothers were very close and looked at each other.
King Zhao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he whispered: "Second brother! The eldest brother and the fourth brother did something treacherous, and I really didn't know anything about it beforehand. The two of them each ended up in the current end, and they all deserved it."
"There are four of us brothers, and only the second brother and me are left. There are no outsiders here. I had something in my heart, so I told my second brother directly."
"Second brother, I don't want to leave the capital and join the feudal clan. Please second brother, please keep me in the capital!"
Emperor Qing'an also had red eyes when he heard this: "My fourth brother's words have touched my heart."
"It's really sad that we four brothers are in the current situation. Now there are only two of us left, and I really can't bear to let you go. So, I want to keep you. I am afraid that you will misunderstand, so I specially asked you to come into the palace.
, I’ll ask you personally. If you don’t want to stay, I will never force you to stay.”
King Zhao cried: "Second brother, I don't want to leave. I am stupid and have only a sincere heart. I am willing to serve as a pawn for my second brother."
"Good third brother!" Emperor Qing'an was greatly moved. He hugged King Zhao and cried: "It's great that you are willing to stay and help me. Don't worry, you can become a vassal if you want to in the future. Just tell me.
I will let you go immediately and will never force you to stay in the capital."
The brotherly love is deep and truly touching.
Eunuch Yang took in all this scene and sneered in his heart.
This King Zhao is quite well-informed. He knew that he could not leave the capital, so he took the initiative to say that he wanted to stay in the capital. He spoke of his second brother, bursting into tears, and his acting skills were first-rate.
Shen You, as the commander of the emperor's personal guards, stood silently aside, staring at King Zhao. If King Zhao made any move, he would pull out the long sword from his waist.
After the brothers cried, Emperor Qing'an wiped his tears and said to King Zhao: "I am very happy that you are willing to stay in the capital. You have been in charge of the Ministry of Works before, and you will still be in charge of the Ministry of Works in the future."
King Zhao wanted to kneel down to thank him again, but Emperor Qing'an held his arm tightly and could no longer kneel down.
"Go tell Princess Tian Shu about this in person!"
King Zhao gratefully agreed and showed his loyalty. Then he resigned and left.
After King Zhao left, Emperor Qing'an restrained all his emotions and looked at the direction in which King Zhao left. His eyes were unfathomable.
…
After walking far away from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, King Zhao looked back. The bright and dazzling sunlight fell, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony became more solemn and solemn.
A hint of coolness flashed in King Zhao's eyes, and he quickly turned his head and walked towards the harem.
Emperor Long'an passed away and went to the west, and all the concubines in the harem were promoted to one level and became concubines.
Concubine Cao died, and Concubine Tian Shu became Concubine Tian Shu.
Empress Yuan did not treat Concubine Tian Shu badly and did not let her move out of the palace. However, Cuiwei Palace today is becoming more and more lonely and withered.
Concubine Tian Shu was seriously ill and had been lying on the bed to recuperate. When she heard that her son was coming, Concubine Tian Shu was filled with joy and sorrow and asked the palace attendants to help her sit up.
King Zhao quickly walked in and sat beside the bed: "Mother Concubine!"
Concubine Tian Shu's eyes turned red instantly, and she choked with sobs and responded.
In the past, King Zhao would come to the palace from time to time to see her.
Later, Emperor Long'an died, and the King of Qin and the King of Han joined forces to cause chaos, and the palace also experienced a change. Fortunately, King Zhao was not affected, but he was also under house arrest in the Zhao Palace for several months. It was not until the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was completed that King Zhao came out.
Prince Zhao's Mansion. But the owner of the harem has changed again. As a brother-in-law, it is inconvenient for him to enter the harem.
Princess Tian Shu had not seen her son for a long time. The reunion of mother and son after a long absence seemed like a world apart.
Concubine Tian Shu had tears in her eyes, and King Zhao was also filled with ambiguity. He cheered up and said, "Concubine, don't cry. It's not easy for my son to come here. It's not advisable to stay too long. He will leave the palace in half an hour."
Princess Tian Shu was shocked: "Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you have dinner with me and then leave?"
King Zhao sighed: "Your Majesty has given me permission to enter the harem, and I have gained knowledge and interests. I will talk to my mother and concubine for a while, and then it's time to leave."
Princess Tian Shu nodded and shed tears.
Yes! Now the palace has changed its owner. King Zhao can no longer come whenever he wants like in the past. After today, I don’t know what year or day the next meeting will be.
King Zhao comforted her and told Princess Tian Shu that he would stay in the capital.
Concubine Tian Shu didn't think much, wiped her tears and said, "It's a good thing to be able to stay in the capital. The emperor finally has some conscience."
Have a damn conscience!
This is because he is afraid that he will go to the mountains and rivers of the domain and secretly raise troops to cause chaos. He is to be detained in the capital and watched under his nose, so that he will not cause trouble.
He felt useless and aggrieved, and he had to go to the palace to show his loyalty, not to mention feeling depressed and uncomfortable.
King Zhao gritted his teeth in his heart, but he smiled and said: "What the mother said is true. I don't want to leave the vassal state. It would be better to stay in the capital. I am still in charge of the Ministry of Industry as before, eating, drinking and having fun every day. When I have free time, I go to the palace to visit
Mother concubine."
Concubine Tian Shu nodded repeatedly. Then, she asked in a low voice: "I have been lying in bed to recuperate these days, and I don't know anything about the outside world."
"What's going on with the Prince of Qin's Palace and the Prince of Han's Palace now?"
