On this night, countless people were excited and happy because of the reunion. There were also some who couldn't sleep because they were filled with anger.
For example, King Zhao, such as Prince Fu.
The army returned to the capital with great splendor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned. Prince Zhao's crown prince, Zhu Yang Dinglang, and the clan disciples were unable to accompany the Crown Prince, and quietly returned to the mansion in ashes.
After King Zhao came back from the palace, he called Prince Zhao over with a gloomy face: "What happened that day? Why did you compete with Shen You?"
Prince Zhao, filled with bitter grievances, recounted what happened that day: "...Father, that Shen You, who has no one in the eyes of the emperor's holy family, behaves rashly. Even if I am a little careless in my words and deeds, I am still a prince. He actually He dared to attack me directly and snatched away all the soldiers around me and sent them to die in the city tower. More than a dozen of my soldiers were killed or injured. The most hateful thing was that he ordered people to put us all under house arrest... "
Thinking of those dark days, Prince Zhao was angry and humiliated, and a handful of bitter tears almost burst out of his eyes.
Ever since he was a child, he has never suffered such injustice!
Dark flames flashed in King Zhao's eyes, and he was obviously really angry. He scolded Prince Zhao angrily: "You bastard! The prince is seriously injured and needs to rest in peace. What are you doing with a bunch of people? What do you think? Wouldn't the prince be able to live peacefully if he makes trouble? Fortunately, the prince is fine. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?"
Prince Zhao was almost stunned by the scolding, and blurted out: "Didn't my father in the letter ask me to visit the prince more often and find out the prince's injury?"
Now blame him again!
King Zhao had a look of hatred on his face: "Did I ask you to inquire about the prince's injury and lead your own soldiers to make mischief? Shen You was ordered by the emperor to protect the prince. Even if he beats a few of you, the emperor will not blame you. For him, I also want to praise him for his loyalty to protect the Lord. Today in the palace, the emperor specially called me over and raped me a few words in a gentle and gentle manner. The meaning was very clear, that is, to smooth over this matter."
When Prince Zhao heard this, he was so angry that his head almost exploded. He said without hesitation: "I am the emperor's nephew. Why does the emperor treat that Shen You better than me? What is the reason for that Shen You?" What? Could it be that he is the illegitimate son left behind by the emperor!"
King Zhao's whole body was shaken, and he looked at the Crown Prince Zhao.
As soon as the words came out of Prince Zhao's mouth, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. He slapped himself with his hand and admitted his mistake in a low voice: "My son is talking nonsense. Father, please don't take it to heart."
How can you talk nonsense like this?
King Zhao was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and did not scold Prince Zhao. He stood there, his face changing again and again, not knowing what he was thinking.
Prince Zhao waited for a while, but when he didn't receive the familiar curse, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously: "Father, is this really the end of the matter?"
King Zhao looked unpredictable and said calmly: "You go back first, I have my own plans."
Prince Zhao reluctantly resigned and left.
King Zhao stood alone in the study for a long time. The past that had been sealed for more than twenty years came to mind.
Back then, the brothers each had their own princes and palaces, and after getting married, they left the palace and lived in their own palaces. He was smooth by nature, got along well with his brothers, and would often go to Prince Yan's palace.
That year, Princess Yan was pregnant, and King Yan was filled with joy. He was kind-hearted and specially found two beauties to give to his second brother. King Yan firmly refused without even looking at them.
He also made fun of King Yan secretly. A dignified prince, in order to please the Yue family, did not even dare to accept a concubine. What fun was living in this life?
Not to mention other women, Princess Yan's adopted sister was blessed with the beauty of the country and the beauty of the city. She often went to Prince Yan's mansion to stay for a while. Prince Yan actually did not take advantage of the opportunity to "accept" the beauty's kindness, which is simply regrettable.
Because Jiang Xue was extremely beautiful, she had a very deep impression on him. He even thought that if the beauty King Yan refused to take, it would be better to take her back to his palace as a concubine.
Unfortunately, the beauty soon got married to Shen Rong, the commander of King Yan's soldiers. He even lamented and regretted this. King Zhao never mentioned such a trivial matter to anyone. Therefore, no one knew that he had been secretly Pay attention to Jiang Xue's movements.
Later, Jiang Xue suddenly disappeared and never entered Prince Yan's Mansion again. As soon as Shen Rong died, Jiang Xue had fetal contractions and had already given birth to a son, Shen You.
Shen You won the first place in the imperial robe competition and was selected by the King of Yan as a personal soldier. This is not surprising at all. Even for Shen Rong's loyal and brave protector back then, the King of Yan should also give Shen You a good future.
In the past few years, Shen You has become famous, firstly because of his outstanding military exploits, and secondly because of his strong connection with the Holy Family. If you think about it carefully, Emperor Qing'an is indeed very good to Shen You...
Tonight, Prince Zhao's unintentional words seemed to suddenly reveal something. Those vague doubts and speculations gathered together and became the most impossible answer.
Once this thought passed through his mind, King Zhao couldn't hold it anymore. He paced in the study, and then called a servant in.
This chamberlain was a man of great trust to King Zhao. He often did some secretive things for King Zhao on weekdays.
King Zhao whispered a few instructions to his servants.
The waiter's expression didn't change, he responded one by one, and quietly left.
…
Early the next morning, before Prince Fu could leave the mansion, Princess Ninghui came back.
"Father!"
Princess Ninghui rushed to Prince Fu like a whirlwind, with anger and tears in her eyes: "Lang'er and Yang'er have suffered such great grievances at the border this time. Father, we cannot ignore them! "
Prince Fu's brows moved, and he opened his mouth to scold his daughter: "Look at how reckless you are. You are almost forty years old, and why are you still so uncontrollable?"
Princess Ninghui's eyes were red: "I was so angry that I couldn't sleep well all night, and I couldn't keep my composure. It's all about other things. How can I swallow such grievances? I don't care, my father must be ruthless Teach that Shen You a lesson. Otherwise, the two of them, Uncle Lang, would have been beaten and angered in vain!"
Prince Fu was also very angry.
To put it bluntly, beating a dog depends on the owner. Zhu Yang is his eldest grandson, and Ding Lang is his only grandson. It doesn't matter if he walks around the capital, no one dares to provoke him easily.
Shen You was lucky enough to beat them up and put them under house arrest in the yard. This time, not only did he not gain any military merit, but he also became the laughing stock of everyone!
However, it is not easy to cause trouble for Shen You. There is nothing wrong with the Shen family. What is worth worrying about is the trust and respect that Emperor Qing'an has for Shen You...
Prince Fu said calmly: "I know this matter well, and sooner or later I will get angry. You don't have to worry about it."
