Extra Chapters Past Events (5)
Prime Minister Qi, no, the Right Chief Qi never expected that things would develop like this, and Zhao Yu used a mere prince tutor to divide his power into part. This trick was really high, and he had never expected it.
Before he could come up with a solution, he heard Bo Jingran kneeling to thank him, "I will accept the order and will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high hopes." Then he bowed to the Right Prime Minister Qi, "Old Prime Minister, if you do something wrong in the future, please ask the old Prime Minister to give me advice."
Qi Youcheng looked at Bo Jingran, who looked humble but firm, and the boy from the Bo family in Jiangnan looked really young, but when he thought of Bo Jingran's background, he had to be afraid, so it was difficult for Zhao Yu to find such a person to share his power.
But this young man should not be too happy too early. He will always teach him what ginger is or how spicy it is.
"Your Zuocheng is welcome."
This sounded a bit sarcastic, but Bo Jingran seemed to not hear it at all, but smiled more modestly.
If another young man promoted by Zhao Yu today, I am afraid that many old ministers would object, but Bo Jingran's talent and learning are obvious to everyone, and his family background is even more famous. When this person won the top scorer, he returned to Jiangnan. He thought he was disdainful of being an official, but he did not expect that Zhao Yufu ascended the throne and returned to the capital like a sky, and as soon as he appeared, he was on an important official position. Everyone suddenly realized that it was not that they disdainful of being an official, but that they had great plans. So they suddenly became the left prime minister.
Although the left prime minister's official position is slightly lower than that of the right prime minister, he is also the prime minister after all. What's more important is that he is young and has a better future than the old man Qi Youzheng.
So, many people went up to congratulate Bo Jingran, and Bo Jingran responded with a smile.
After the morning court, when he met Zhao Yu in the imperial study room, he smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty is you going to praise the murderer?"
It was originally agreed that he would be allowed to go to the Ministry of Revenue, but now it is better. He was immediately put on the position of Prime Minister and roasted him on the fire. How could the Right Prime Minister of Qi be in charge of the government for so many years?
Zhao Yu gently lifted his eyelids and looked at him, then began to teach his son Zhao Wei step by step, but he said lightly, "Are you afraid of Bo Aiqing?"
What is he afraid of, a joke?
Bo Jingran retorted in his heart that Qi Youcheng, an old official, was afraid of others, but he might not be afraid. It was just that Zhao Yu's trick of using it on him was a bit useless, so he said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be loyal to you."
Zhao Yu just glanced at him lightly and said nothing. Based on his understanding of Bo Jingran, this person would not disappoint him.
Bo Jingran's eyes fell on the small figure in Zhao Yu's arms. The child named Zhao Wei looked only four or five years old, and now he looked quite well-behaved. Just when he was thinking so, he didn't know that the child felt his gaze and looked up at him.
Bo Jingran instantly overturned his previous conclusion. The child just looked well-behaved, but he probably might not have. At this moment, he felt a little sympathetic to the prince's tutor Qi Youcheng. Teaching such a student would really waste the old man's energy.
Concubine Shu came this time by chance. When she saw Zhao Wei, she pulled the child into her arms with red eyes and looked at him carefully. Then she wiped her tears and said with pain, "This is really like when His Majesty was young, but her forehead and eyes were with the queen. It's so pitiful to see that Madam Dou really died ten million times."
When Zhao Yu heard this, he knew that Concubine Shu's words were explained to his daughter-in-law, the Eleventh Princess, and instantly he separated his relationship with the Dou family.
"Good child, go to Grandma Shu's palace to have snacks. Our grandparents and grandchildren kiss each other." She took the child's hand and was about to leave.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wei did not move his steps, and looked back at Zhao Yu with his eyes stubbornly. When he saw Zhao Yu nodding, he asked Concubine Shu to lead him away.
Zhao Yu instantly pointed to Chen Dou and served Zhao Wei, and he still had memorials to deal with, so he really didn't have so much time to take care of his children.
As soon as Concubine Shu led Zhao Wei to his palace, General Dou came to take the thorns and apologized. Relying on his identity as Zhao Yu's confidant, he tried to rescue his mother and sister. These days, he was so anxious that he employed his connections everywhere to find people who could speak, but everyone rejected him. Even the Eleventh Prince returned the gift he gave, threatening to be helpless.
At this point, he knew that it would be difficult for his mother and sister to escape from prison.
As a last resort, he went on the battle himself, trying to avoid this fame and fortune, and to make his mother and sister safe.
Helplessly, the imperial study room that he could enter at any time before closed the door to him today. The eunuch raised his head and said, "Your Majesty will not see you."
General Dou now knew that the situation was much more serious than he thought, and his face suddenly lost its blood. He did not expect that Zhao Yu would ignore their years of master-servant friendship for a dead woman.
However, he couldn't leave, and in the end, he chose to kneel in front of the imperial study.
When Zhao Yu heard this, he just said lightly, "Let him kneel."
Even if the Dou family has knelt for ten thousand years, he will not change his mind, not to mention that this is what the Dou family owes him and Rong Jingqiu, so the debt must be recovered.
So, everyone who came to report the matter saw General Dou kneeling there, and he had to take a few more glances, which made the person who had originally admired him re-evaluate him instantly, and it turned out that he was not so valued by the emperor.
In the end, General Dou fainted when he knelt down, and Zhao Yu directly asked someone to carry him away, so don't continue to be annoyed here.
However, the case is still under investigation, and Madam Dou committed suicide by hanging herself in prison, leaving a suicide note, confessing everything, taking all the blame on herself and having nothing to do with others.
When Zhao Yu received the news, he immediately said angrily, "Investigate, continue to investigate me to death."
This is more obvious. This matter is much more serious than he thought. Madam Dou is greedy for life and fear of death. Someone must have passed on the news to her. Only then did she want to take all the guilt by committing suicide. It was really fantastic. He would never let her do what she wanted.
When Feng Debao received the news of Madam Dou's death, his face turned pale in an instant. Now he couldn't explain clearly. He was really finished playing, and he was really hurt by Madam Dou.
"Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty..." He immediately grabbed the pillar and shouted outside.
When Chen Dou received this news, he did not dare to hide it and reported it to Zhao Yu truthfully, but he still said with great sincerity, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Feng, may you know something inside?"
It seems that he is saying good things for Feng Debao, but in fact he is testing Zhao Yu's attitude. He finally climbed to this position and could not let Feng Debao come back.
Zhao Yu frowned. His feelings for Feng Debao were very complicated. If it were something else, he might turn a blind eye. After all, Feng Debao has always grown up with him, but this time he stepped on his bottom line, so he would not spare him.
"You go and hear what he is going to say."
This was exactly what Chen Dou thought, and he immediately received the order to go to Tianzhu.
When Feng Debao saw Chen Dou appear, his eyes widened, "Why are you?"
Chen Dou smiled slightly, "Your Majesty asked our family to come and hear what Eunuch Feng has to say. Eunuch Feng must seize the opportunity. After passing this village, there will be no store. You can think about it yourself."
Feng Debao has always been the leader of the eunuch. Now he is treated so sarcastically by Chen Dou, who was trampled on his feet before. He is immediately so angry that he smokes his orifices, "Chen Dou, I tell you, don't offend me, you are arrogant today, and I will definitely kill you if I go out tomorrow..."
"Since Eunuch Feng has nothing to say, then our family will not accompany you." Chen Dou looked at Feng Debao contemptuously, and he still didn't know when he was about to die.
Feng Debao saw that Chen Dou was really leaving, and knew that he was really out of power. If he didn't take this opportunity to make contributions, he would be afraid that even his life would not be able to be saved. In the end, he had to call Chen Dou and shake out the news that he knew that Madam Dou and Concubine Shu had had contact. Chen Dou would definitely not hide the news from Zhao Yu, and he didn't have the courage.
Sure enough, Chen Dou is not a fool. He knew that there was something wrong with him when he heard it, so he didn't care about the battle with Feng Debao. He hurried back and reported it to Zhao Yu to know.
Zhao Yu had just coaxed his son to bed, but because Rong Jingqiu was gone, he pity his son, so he always took care of him himself. After all, in this world, his son is his closest relative.
After hearing what Chen Dou reported, his face immediately became cold.
He knew that Concubine Shu was a different person, but he didn't expect that she would also get involved in the past. His eyes turned to his son who was sleeping in the dragon bed. He was lucky and had questions. Unfortunately, Madam Dou, one of the parties involved, committed suicide by hanging herself, otherwise she would be afraid that she would be able to pry out some useful information from her mouth.
When Concubine Shu knew that Madam Dou was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist temple when she was hanging herself, she breathed a sigh of relief. She waved her hand to signal her confidant to go down, looked up at the solemn Buddha statue, and recited the scriptures again.
She only believed in one sentence since she was a child, and she would be punished by heaven and earth.
And Madam Dou deserves to die, she actually lied to her that little bastard died. But she secretly raised her and now she let the little bastard return to the palace. Thinking of this, she wanted to crush Madam Dou's bones and extinguish them.
The next day, when she went to pick Zhao Wei up to her bedroom again, Zhao Yu told her directly that classes in the study were started. As the prince, Zhao Wei should not be lazy and had to learn a lot, so he could not let him play at will.
"Your Majesty is really, how old is the prince?" Concubine Shu blamed Zhao Yu for being too strict with Zhao Wei, and then put down the pastry he brought. "This is what the prince likes to eat, and Your Majesty is not allowed to stop the prince from eating snacks."
Zhao Yu nodded with a smile, saying that he would never stop him, and then pointed at Chen Dou and sent the pastry to the study room.
Concubine Shu left with satisfaction. As soon as she left the imperial study, her face darkened. Zhao Yu was beginning to guard against her.
Chen Dou is one of the insiders. After taking out the pastry brought by Concubine Shu, he asked someone to try the drugs. How dare he really bring it to His Royal Highness? What if he eats anything, it will not be of any benefit to him.
However, he was relieved to try the pastry and quickly went in to report it to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was looking at the memorial, and when he heard this, he immediately glanced at Chen Dou and said, "Concubine Shu is not as stupid as you think."
There are certain means to protect Concubine Shu from being able to survive until today. How could she use low-level means of poisoning?
Chen Dou suddenly felt sweaty on his forehead. He was eager to show his feelings, but he chose the wrong direction.
Rong Jingqiu also left a son. Rong Cheng brought Rong Jin to the palace to visit. Rong Jin wiped away two tears and said dryly that her daughter's life was miserable and she felt sorry for her grandson.
Rong Cheng didn't say anything, but he still looked at Zhao Wei for two more times. He was so blurred that he couldn't remember his daughter Rong Jingqiu's appearance. After all, he had never seen her daughter before and after she got married, and he didn't know if this child looked like the daughter who didn't kiss him.
Thinking of the pillow wind blowing by his concubine Fu last night, he couldn't help but frown, but after Rong Jin expressed his concern, he said, "Your Majesty, the little girl Fu Bo failed to see the prince's growth. This is the most regrettable thing in the hearts of the minister..."
Zhao Wei had no fond of this grandparent. He felt that these two old guys didn't like him either, so no matter how Rong Jinshi wanted to call him to her, he was not moved. Instead, he was by his father's side as always, and the safest place was here.
Zhao Yu was serving his son to drink water. When he heard this, he sneered in his heart. His wife never went back to her parents' home all year round. As a husband, he had long seen that she had a bad relationship with her parents' home, so he didn't listen carefully to what Rong Cheng said.
Rong Cheng said while paying attention to Zhao Yu's expression. Seeing that he was not angry, he was extremely fond of the little prince and was personally experiencing it. As expected, there was no false rumors, and his own plans might be possible, so he looked at his wife.
Rong Jin also saw the scene of father and son getting along, and countless thoughts turned to her mind. However, when she thought that the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter were both dead, she couldn't help but feel sad again, so she stopped insisting. She was not guilty of the eldest daughter. If the Rong family could protect her children, what else could she care about?
She did not look at her husband, but said, "The prince lost his mother's love since childhood. As a grandmother, his wife's heart was extremely painful. Your Majesty, my wife asked her to agree..." At this point, she knelt down.
Zhao Yu then turned to her and said, "Madam Dingyuan Hou, please speak."
This was extremely distant, and Rong Cheng felt a little dissatisfied. However, whether Rong Jingqiu was born or died, they were Zhao Yu's father-in-law and mother-in-law. He couldn't help but think of the words of his mother Rong Fu, who was the queen, was gone. If he didn't find a way to fill this position, the relationship would really fade.
