Chapter 342: Never let her have a chance to be a widow

The capital is in sight.
Liu Zhao stood at the bow of the boat, watching the busy Lifu, carrying pieces of goods onto the boat.
When the goods were full, the boat followed the river and headed towards the capital.
The dock where the Ma Xiren roared suddenly changed its style, which was really unaccustomed.
Lin Shuping leaned down and stood beside him, "My son, this is the four-sea freight that the lady has done. It transports goods for people and pays the city gate tax."
Liu Zhao made a hum from his nose.
In the past few months, he already knew what had happened in Beijing.
Unexpectedly, during his absence for a few months, Gu Jiu made such a big movement and was caught by the emperor's grandfather.
When the boat drew ashore, Liu Zhao got off the boat and took a carriage back to the capital.
The former prosperous capital is still prosperous.
People come and go on the street, and goods pile up like mountains.
Liu Zhao did not return to the palace, but went directly to the palace.
In the palace, the emperor led hundreds of officials to welcome his return.
His achievements have been spread throughout the court.
The royal family was proud of him, and the courtiers looked at him more closely.
In the past, everyone's eyes were on the adult prince. Starting today, the eyes of courtiers will also look at the edict.
It is possible to watch the emperor Sun Li the crown prince.
Liu Zhao made extraordinary achievements to disrupt the Northern Rong Dynasty Hall with his own power. As a result, Bei Rong's strength was greatly reduced, and he was unable to go south for at least ten years.
I don't know how the emperor will reward such miraculous achievements.
The courtiers looked at King Ning again.
Congratulations to King Ning for giving birth to a good son. There is a son Zhao who has made contributions abroad, and King Ning has a lot more chance of winning.
At least it is much more reliable than the little prince who is still breastfeeding in the harem.
Except for the Li family, and the Li family faction, no one wants a breast-feeding little prince to inherit the throne, and then the queen mother will listen to politics.
This is chaotic politics!
Concubine Li De, He De He Neng, delusional to listen to politics and dream.
The emperor was very excited. He walked off the dragon chair himself and patted Liu Zhao on the shoulder, "I didn't insult my ancestor, that's good!"
"Grandson is fortunate to not humiliate his life!" Liu Zhao bowed.
The emperor laughed.
The servant took the imperial decree, read it out loud, praised Liu Zhao for his achievements, and bestowed the title of generals under the county king. A few thousand taels of Juelu a year, plus several farms.
Liu Zhao knew it would be like this.
It is impossible for the emperor to grant him the title of the princess, even if he has made an unworldly feat.
Liu Zhao accepted the imperial decree and knelt down to thank the emperor for his mighty grace.
The emperor encouraged him to let Liu Zhaoxiu go directly to the Ministry of War as an errand for a whole day.
Liu Zhao thanked him again.
It was a happy situation for everyone, but unexpectedly, a Yushi jumped out at this moment to ask the emperor to establish the crown prince.
"The son of the edict has made an unworldly feat, and the Wei minister weeping blood asks your Majesty Li Ning to be the crown prince!"
King Ning was furious, and without waiting for the emperor to ask questions, he rushed forward and kicked Yushi directly.
"My king and you have no grievances, you bastard, who told you to frame my king?"
"Weichen is dedicated to the public, and the prince does not understand the painstaking efforts of the weichen, but instead accuses the minister. What does this mean?"
King Ning was too lazy to fight with Yu Shi, and in terms of eloquence, he was 100% not an opponent of Yu Shi who was good at talking.
He directly slapped Yushi with one fist and one fist, and he specifically hit Yushi's face.
In this way, Yu Shi could not think about going up until his face hurt.
"presumptuous!"
The emperor yelled, and General Dahan rushed into the hall and pulled King Ning away.
Yu Shi was lying on the ground, yelling.
A handsome face was beaten into a bun, pointed at King Ning, and complained: "%&......("
Everyone did not hear a word clearly.
The emperor is full of frost.
Chen Dachang winked, and the little yellow goalkeeper Yu Shi dragged him down.
King Ning looked angrily, "Father, my son didn't expect to be a prince. Don't be suspicious of your old man by being provoked by a few words from the prince."
The emperor picked up the teacup and threw it directly on King Ning's head.
King Ning hid flexibly.
"It's not your turn to say what I think."
King Ning twitched his eyebrows and knelt directly on the ground, "Father, today's matter, it is clear that someone framed a child minister. If you look up the relationship behind that yushi, you will definitely be able to find the villain behind the scenes."
"To shut up!"
The emperor didn't want to hear a word.
The eyes of the emperor, like a sharp sword, swept across the face of every courtier.
"Who else wants to raise a reserve?"
The courtiers looked at each other with lingering fears.
But there are still people who are not afraid of death coming forward to raise the issue.
Fortunately, I didn't say who to set up specifically, only that the prince is the foundation of the country. The establishment of the prince will calm people's hearts. It is urgent and urge the emperor to establish the prince as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, please reserve as soon as possible."
Another courtier stood up to petition.
The emperor glanced coldly at everyone in the hall, and the cold light in his eyes couldn't hide.
Lichu is a taboo in the heart of the emperor.
The establishment of the crown prince means that there is someone to replace him, and it is possible to replace him at any time.
After experiencing the devastation of Empress Ruizhen Cui and the death of Prince Ren Xuan, the emperor had already made up his mind no longer to establish a reserve.
The courtiers once again raised the matter of establishing a reserve, but it only made the emperor's heart a strong sense of vigilance.
who is it?
Who is delusional to replace him?
Who is staring at his dragon chair?
Is it King Ning?
Or is it King Zhao? Or other adult princes?
The eyes of the emperor swept across the face of every adult prince, his eyes cold, without any emotion. Some are just defensive and vigilant.
King Ning looked at it, and he was over!
The old man became suspicious again, and it got worse every time.
King Ning gritted his teeth, who was the Yushi just now? Who instructed?
Yu Shi suddenly ran out and asked him to be the prince. This was definitely a conspiracy.
Someone wants to harm him.
And easily achieved the goal.
Look at the emperor's gaze, which is like falling into the ice cellar.
Liu Zhao went through life and death, and made outstanding achievements, but he was gently pushed by an official, and all the credit was wiped out.
The credit Liu Zhao made, not only can't add points to King Ning, but has deepened the emperor's suspicion of King Ning.
Ning Wang's heart had already moved to Kill Nian.
He is going to kill that Yushi.
His eyes swept across the face of every brother, and every brother was suspicious.
He even suspected that the Yu Shi was sent by Fei Li De.
Li Defei is avenging her.
The emperor flicked his sleeves and left and retreated directly.
The courtiers looked at each other.
Liu Zhao of the Ning Dynasty walked over, "Send someone to watch the Yushi immediately, and not let the Yushi die. Ask the king to find out who is behind the calculations, and this Liangzi is settled."
Liu Zhao said softly, "I'm afraid it's too late."
A word becomes proverb.
The people who were sent to find Yushi reported back. After Yushi was dragged out of the main hall, he left the palace directly and returned to the mansion. When they arrived at Yushi's house, Yushi had hanged himself.
Upon hearing the news, King Ning slammed his fist on the table.
"Grandma's, check, continue to check. Turn out all the eighteenth generations of the ancestors of the Imperial History, be sure to find out who is disrupting the situation."
...
Harem.
The confidant came to Fei Li Defei and whispered to her, "Fortunately, fortunately, Yu Shi has committed suicide."
Li Defei picked up the rouge and gently smeared it on the back of her hand.
Upon hearing this, she chuckled softly, "What's King Ning's reaction?"
"Naturally it was anxious and frustrated. After the son of the edict received the order, Yu Shi immediately stood up and said to invite King Lining as the prince, and he broke the game all at once. The empress is really clever."
Concubine Li De raised her eyebrows. "My palace did not expect that the son Zhao disappeared for a few months, and he went to Beirong and made such a marvelous achievement. Seeing the rising of the Ning Palace, the main palace can not sleep at night. Fortunately, look at the Ning Palace. This palace is not the only one who is pleasing to the eye."
Why did Li Defei think of sending Yushi to break the situation? Naturally, someone made suggestions for her.
The confidant smiled and said: "Congratulations, Niang Niang. After today's events, Your Majesty will only become more jealous of King Ning. Niang Niang only needs to say a few words when necessary to prevent King Ning from turning over."
Li Defei smiled and said: "Not only does this palace want King Ning to be unable to turn over, but this palace also asks King Ning's residence to go down and down."
A spiteful color flashed in her eyes.
Gu Jiu dared to calculate the Li family behind his back, so he must be prepared to accept revenge.
She wanted Gu Jiu to pay a heavy price, and she wanted Gu Jiu to die.
The entire Prince Ning Mansion will die because of her.
...
The Palace of the King of Chu.
Chu Wang was so excited, "This king wants to thank Shao Jian Fang again. Shao Jian Fang's plan to provoke Concubine Li De easily broke the extraordinary work of Liu Zhao, and asked King Ning and his son to draw water with a bamboo basket. Haha, it is really happy. Shao Jian Fang did not watch. The expression on King Ning’s face was really delightful."
Young Supervisor Fang sat on the floor and reminded: "The prince, don’t be eager to be happy. After all, Gongzizhao has made outstanding achievements. In the hearts of civil and military officials, he has become the first person among the emperor's grandchildren. Even if the emperor is very jealous of King Ning, it does not interfere. The courtiers preferred Ning Palace."
The concubine Sun nodded again and again, "Fang Shaojian said it is reasonable. King Ning can take advantage of the meritorious deeds of the son to recruit hundreds of civil and military officials. Especially the generals, I am afraid that Liu Zhao will give a shout, and the answer will be like a cloud."
King Chu frowned and said unconvincingly: "Liu Zhao is just lucky."
The same emperor grandson, he and Liu Zhao have fought since childhood.
He thought he was the number one among the emperor's grandsons, and now he was overwhelmed by Liu Zhao, naturally not reconciled.
Must say something sour.
Toffee Sun's face became stern when he heard the words, "Absurd! If you think that Liu Zhao's merits are based solely on luck, then you will never be able to beat him.
You must face your opponent squarely before you can make an accurate judgment. I know that you and Liu Zhao had a feast, but you shouldn't be blinded by private grievances, saying that he is all by luck.
The chaos of Beirong's royal family and let Beirong fall into infighting, can it be achieved by mere luck? "
The king of Chu was ashamed, "The mother taught that the son knew his mistake. The son admitted that Liu Zhao made such great achievements, which is very remarkable. But the son asks himself that he is no worse than him. If I change my son to Beirong, I may not be inferior to him."
Toffee Sun’s face calmed,
It’s great if you can think so! My palace has sent someone to the northwest to learn more about it. When the news comes, you can figure out how Liu Zhao did in Beirong. Learn more. Learn from the strengths of others and don’t just stare at the weaknesses of others."
"Son obeys."
Crown Prince Sun waved his hand, and King Chu bowed back.
In the hall, only Taifei Sun and Fang Shaojin were left.
Toffee Sun rubbed her eyebrows and said, "The King of Chu is still losing stability."
Young Master Fang smiled softly, "The prince is just too serious about gains and losses. Suddenly gaining a high position may not be a good thing. The old slave still said that the prince is not suitable for standing in the court at present, it is best to go to the army to experience two years and get a better one. Grind."
Taifei Sun's face was solemn, "If he leaves the court, how can the court have a foothold?"
"Being able to become famous in the military is more important than standing in the court. Niang, don't forget, the prince is only in his early twenties this year. It is not a bad thing to go to the court to practice two years later."
The prince Sun frowned, "Let me think about this matter again."
She wants to listen to the opinions of her mother's family.
Fang Shaojian shook his head secretly, his heart full of worries.
He looked in the direction of the Ning Palace, he really underestimated Liu Zhao in the past.
Liu Zhao has become the number one among the emperor's grandsons. Does he have a chance to reach the top?
And Gu Jiu.
With Gu Jiu's financial resources, he could pull up a team for Liu Zhao in a blink of an eye.
Although he lost the trust of the emperor, he won the support of the generals. Just in response to that sentence, misfortune and blessing depend on blessing and misfortune.
Who can tell the future?
...
When Liu Zhao returned to the palace, he first went to see the princess Pei.
Pei had known that he had been in Beirong Capital for a few months after he disappeared, and he was still stirring the wind and rain in Beirong Capital.
Pei’s heart was a little afraid, "Such an important task, it can be said that it is a life of nine deaths, how did your majesty give it to you. If there is a case, have you not thought about the consequences? You don’t even have a child, so what do you do? Do you want to scare me to death?"
It is rare for Pei to show his caring color, and Liu Zhao also patiently said: "Mother and concubine don't have to worry, isn't the son coming back safely?"
"I've heard people say that Bei Rong has been chasing you. If it weren't for your uncle Luhou to send an army to take over you, you would have died in Bei Rong. Do you know that, when I heard about it, I was scared Excited all over.
Whenever something goes wrong, you can't come back. It's a big court, and it's not nobody, you grandson, why do you want to do such a dangerous thing? "
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "Wealth and wealth are in danger."
Pei's face was stern, "The palace is rich enough."
Liu Zhao said, "That is the wealth of the father, not the wealth of the son."
Pei was angry and said sharply: "Your father's is yours."
Liu Zhao laughed, "Mother concubine is sure?"
Pei's speech is not enough.
King Ning was not the only son of Liu Zhao. Obviously, the wealth that King Ning possessed could not be inherited by Liu Zhao.
Pei took a deep breath, "Fine, nothing, this princess can't say about you, and can't control you. What do you want to do, this princess can't ask."
"The tired mother and concubine are worried, it's the son's not. The son will come and greet the mother and concubine another day."
Pei snorted, "Hurry back to the house and see your wife. Your husband and wife gave birth to a child earlier, and this princess also lost one thing on my mind. I can tell you that Concubine Shu has mentioned it several times, but you can't Perfunctory.
If Gu Jiu is in poor health, call the imperial physician to nurse her. If you don’t care well, this princess will be the master of you and marry a concubine to give you a son. "
"Thank you mother and concubine. But my son doesn't need to be in the concubine room, Xiao Jiu will be pregnant sooner or later."
Pei's eyes stared, "It's useless to say nothing. The second daughter-in-law is pregnant, but your daughter-in-law has not moved. You can figure it out."
Liu Zhao nodded, "Thank you for your mother and concubine for reminding me that my son will hurry up to have a baby."
He resigned from Pei's family and went directly to the east courtyard.
The weather is hot, Gu Jiu suffers from summer and is unwilling to move.
Lying on the soft collapse, taking a nap in the ice basin.
There is still a book in his hand, which is about to fall to the ground.
Liu Zhao stepped forward, took the book from her hand, and then grabbed her hand and refused to let it go.
Gu Jiu slept soundly, but was not awakened.
The sweat on her forehead made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Liu Zhao directly picked up the ball fan on the table and gently fanned her while looking at her appearance.
This is the face he is thinking about.
How many midnight dreams came back, all he thought and thought was Gu Jiu.
He can come back alive because he has faith in his heart, he must come back alive to see her.
Never let her have the opportunity to be a widow.
The thought that if he died in Beirong, Gu Jiu might remarry someone else, his heart was full of anger and unwillingness.
Liu Zhao laughed at himself.
I don't know when this woman will live in her heart.
However, this woman was heartless all day and she said something confusing, kicking him out of bed when she was upset, and embarrassing him.
It is unreasonable for the grandson and the husband to fail.
"I smelled a sour taste."
Gu Jiu opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him with a gentle smile.
"A sour smell is coming, how much resentment do you have?"
Liu Zhao bowed his head and sniffed the familiar body fragrance, "Since you know that the resentment in my son's heart has accumulated, should you give me an explanation?"
Gu Jiu's eyebrows curled up, "It's obviously you who should be confessed. Go to Beirong without telling me, and honestly confess, are there any Beirong women who give up and hug you, can you sit still?"
