Zhao Xi was happy for the rest of the journey, and it all came from Xue Xiang.
The communication that night was smooth, one level above rapport.
If he hadn't been easily welded to death when he came to the guard camp, Zhao Xi would have wanted to bring Xue Xiang over.
Really, for the first time, Zhao Xi believed that there are real talents in this world. Xue Xiang had an innate insight into the way of merchants at this time and the economic theory of later generations.
It was even so pleasant that the state officials in the second half of the journey felt that His Royal Highness was humble.
"Did Liu Cheng kill him? Was the incident exposed due to internal strife among the soldiers?"
The princes were a little confused when they saw Liu Cheng's report. They were really confused.
I thought that when His Royal Highness the Prince went north this time, he might kill all the border troops in the city... No one regarded the lives of the soldiers as human lives.
Unexpectedly, in the end, His Highness the Crown Prince was not involved in the cause and effect. He just walked around and really went on inspection.
The matter was very strange. The internal strife among the soldiers had to wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived at Daizhou for his inspection tour. However, Liu Cheng actually took over the whole matter and handled it to the satisfaction of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Forget it, the report is like this. Unless we get the report from the Imperial City Division, we can only make the final decision based on the report from Daizhou.
One thing is certain, that is, Huang Xiang of the guard camp was indeed killed, and the mastermind... forget it, love whoever you want.
This is good, everyone is happy, and it saves the trouble of dealing with Liu Cheng.
Everyone knows that the soldiers of the border army will never have the courage to attack the East Palace Guard Battalion.
There is something even more strange...
Another report came from Daizhou: Zhizhou Liu Cheng was seriously ill, or he was hysterical, and he shouted for mercy all day long...
Before the decision was made on how to deal with this report, the report that Liu Cheng, the magistrate of Daizhou, died of illness came immediately.
He refused to eat or drink, kept kowtowing to beg for mercy, and kept muttering mercy for his life. After a few days, he finally ran out of energy.
When there was a vacancy in Daizhou to know the state, the ministers went to the officials to discuss it.
When it comes to personnel issues, Zhao Xi never says much and just acts as a simple listener.
Fu Bi took the time to glance at the prince several times, trying to get some clues, but there was none.
Fu Bi didn't believe a word of the so-called innocent ghost asking for his life. Even the court had already agreed that Liu Cheng's evil deeds would be punished, but when a ghost asked for his life, Fu Bi didn't believe it.
Therefore, he wanted to see how His Highness the Crown Prince would react.
He remembered Shuo Fenglie's story, when His Highness the Crown Prince was still young... Could it be that the Crown Prince had forgotten Liu Cheng?
But Liu Cheng's death happened at this juncture?
His Royal Highness did not respond...
Can there be no reaction? Zhao Xi especially wanted to know how the Imperial City Secretary made a sane civil servant go crazy. This technique is too tempting.
This is simply a must-have artifact for home travel.
…
Zhao Xi suddenly woke up from his sleep, feeling a squeezing feeling in his heart that suffocated him awake.
It felt like something was about to happen, making it impossible for him to sleep peacefully again.
I didn't call anyone. I heard that my father could endure hunger until morning, and he had nothing important to do. Both the account clerk and the sleeping clerk were in the outer room.
Zhao Xi didn't even disturb Tao Niang, he quietly stepped over to Tao Niang who was sleeping soundly, and got off the bed silently.
It would be nice to have a cigarette...
Zhao Xi knew about his father's illness, even though he had been hiding it from him. The husband-in-laws all knew about it, so they hid it from him. But he still found out.
In later generations’ parlance, my father probably suffered from a cerebrovascular disease.
As long as Zhao Xi stays in Bianliang and massages his father every day, he just hopes that his father can persist a little longer.
Zhao Xi is very satisfied with his current status and likes this state. He is not disgusted with being an emperor, but he does not want to be the emperor imprisoned in the palace.
It's very good now. With the title of father and the name of son that will be passed down, he has a lot of freedom.
His heart palpitations tonight made him a little uneasy. He really wanted to go to the inner garden to see it, but it wasn't appropriate...
I was worried that something would happen, so I just sat silently in the dark and thought about it.
It would really be nice to have a cigarette...
No, why does it feel a little shaken? Zhao Xi shook his head, stood up, still shaking...
Earthquake! This suddenly came to mind...
"Earthquake! Tao Niang, wake up! Go outside! Quick...quick...quick!"
Zhao Xi had never been so nervous before, and his voice changed even when he shouted.
While shouting, Zhao Xi ran towards his son's house. As he ran, he shouted loudly: There's an earthquake! Everyone, get out of the house! There's an earthquake! Everyone, get out of the house!
Tao Niang woke up purely from fright. She woke up in the blink of an eye... shaking, shaking!
The darkness prevented her from seeing Zhao Xi's shadow clearly, and she could only hear Zhao Xi's rapid footsteps as he left.
And let her go outside... This is an earthquake!
I was so dumbfounded that Tao Niang jumped out of bed... "Son..."
The third brother has already gone. Tao Niang knew that she was just causing trouble in the past, so she ran out frantically.
When Tao Niang ran out of the house, Zhao Xi was already carrying her four sons outside.
The left hand holds the eldest child, while the right hand wraps the three younger ones together with a sheet and lifts them out.
Look at the other people...what's going on? No matter the palace maids or chamberlains, including their sisters, they all have very little coverage.
This is not okay! Although everyone in the East Palace is from Third Brother, this situation is too ugly.
"Third brother..."
"If the matter is urgent, follow the authority. Tao Niang, don't worry about these little details. Let the servants bring the chariot and everyone pack up the people in their respective rooms."
The ground was still shaking, and tiles began to fall from the roof, making a crackling mess.
"Father and mother-in-law..."
Tao Niang asked, Zhao Xi also knew that he should go, but looking at the mess in his East Palace, I'm afraid the inner garden wouldn't be much better either.
I obey the authority when things are urgent, but as a son, I accidentally looked at my father's concubines...
"Zhongzheng, you rush to the inner garden, run and shout, asking everyone to get out of the house. At the same time, tell the officials and the empress that I want to go there..."
For this kind of thing, Zhao Xi thought it would be appropriate to say hello.
He also knew that this was probably not a major earthquake. In the words of future generations: You can’t run away from a big earthquake, but you don’t have to run away from a small one.
It should have taken at least a minute from the time he realized the earthquake to the time he took the children out. Unless this was the way of an aftershock earthquake.
I definitely have to go to the inner garden, and it’s better to be more particular about some taboos.
The chariot came over. His Highness requested that even though it was shaky and might be smashed to death, the servants still brought out the chariot.
In fact, the placement of the chariot is almost equivalent to being outdoors, just like a stable.
It's just that the horse is a bit disobedient and is too irritable to control.
"Let's all get into the carriages and drive. I'll go to the inner garden..."
Zhao Xi has a bad habit of sleeping in pajamas. At this time, he asked Gong Nai to make pajamas according to his own design. At first glance, they were no different from ordinary bundts.
After leaving these words, he put the child who had not stopped crying into the carriage, and Zhao Xi ran towards the inner garden.
It is definitely safe inside the chariot. Over in the inner garden, Wang Zhongzheng has informed me that all taboos that should be avoided are avoided.
At this time, whether it was for filial piety or to reassure his parents, Zhao Xi had to go to the inner garden.
