"Who are you?" The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty repeated the question and ordered, "raise your head!"
"King, old slave English
"Suu Ying?" The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was stunned for half a moment, then his eyes widened. He rushed down from the Dragon chair in three steps and two steps and went to Na Su Ying. He grabbed his arm and pulled the man up.
"Su Ying! It's you
All the officials were stupefied. The old man in the small village turned out to be the old friend of the king, and it seems that Prince Zhao knew it in advance.
"It's an old slave. In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen you for 20 years. Your majesty is as good as ever!"
The excited expression of the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was only for a moment. He gradually released his grip hands, converged all his feelings under his skin, and then walked out of the hall, "retreat, Su Ying will follow me."
"Retreat from the court..."
Without lifting his eyes, the prince walked out of the hall directly, followed by Duke Heng and other ministers, asking: "Your Highness, this Who is it? How did you know that he was an old friend of the king
Prince Zhao stopped and turned his head, "what old friend?"
"Just then..." What's the name of Su Ying? If it's not the king's old friend, they won't believe it.
"It's just that the villagers in Huanghua village are old enough. Maybe the reason why my father knows him is Former subordinates? "
Ignoring the suspicions of the crowd, Prince Zhao continued to walk forward. After more than ten steps, he suddenly stopped and turned and said, "Mr. Zhan, please go over to the mansion and talk about it."
The one named was shocked, sweating heavily, "the hall What do you mean, your highness? I still have something important to do. Why don't you take another day? "
"Something important? Is it urgent to go back to report the success or failure of the hall to brother Sanwang? "
"Your Highness, what did you say? Are you accusing the lower officials of plotting against the third prince? "
"It turns out that Lord Zhan also knew how to frame up the two characters." Prince Zhao nodded, "since the adults don't want to, it's not forced."
When he was far away, all the ministers avoided the Lord Zhan. Duke Heng even said sarcastically: "young master Zhan is really powerful today. He doesn't even pay attention to the prince. Who else is there in your eyes?"
"The Duke of hengguo, yiweier, helped his highness to speak. I wonder if he has already taken the lead for his highness? Is there a king in the eyes of the Duke? "
"Silent, this literati's mouth is to slip, I'm willing to bow down."
"The Duke of the state is really joking. You refute the lower officials every word. It is the lower officials who are willing to bow to the inferiority."
They looked at each other, turned their mouths, and walked away.
The official who followed him sighed in a low voice: "this is the courage of the young master. What's the benefit of offending the prince?"
"Isn't the benefit obvious? He is the father-in-law of the third prince, naturally Hehe
"The Duke of hengguo..."
Someone thought of one thing and exclaimed, "ah, isn't the Duke of Heng and Marquis of Liyang discussing marriage? After that, the relationship between Duke Heng and Prince's house is just..."
The relationship between aristocratic families was mostly maintained by marriage. In this intricate relationship, only marriage seemed to be secure. Therefore, they were not surprised that Duke Heng and Zhan Shao Fu were against each other.
"The three princes are not dormant at this time, but they are still so sharp that they confront their royal highness. They are afraid that they may not be able to deal with each other."
"Don't speculate, Lord Zongzheng. Your highness is not the one who must report."
"Yes, yes, I made a mistake, I made a mistake..."
When he heard about the burning of Prince Zhaohua in Tang Dynasty, he asked, "what's the matter?"
Prince Zhao did not intend to hide from him, "last night."
Tang Yue wanted to know what was going on with his toes. He asked anxiously, "then they didn't succeed?"
"If I succeed, I can still stand here now?" You have to argue with people in the palace.
Tang Yue pulled the corners of his mouth, untied his cloak for him, felt the chill on his body, and pushed people into the room.
"Tell me, then, how it was arranged, how you heard that you brought someone into the palace, or that the king knew him."
Prince Zhao pointed to his cheek and said without expression: "reward!"
Tang Yue speechless, it is hard to squeeze on his face first, then just kiss him, "say it quickly!"
Prince Zhao sat contentedly on the soft chair, pulled Tang Yue to his side and told him the whole story.
It turns out that after Prince Zhao left yesterday, he arranged for people to transfer all the villagers in Huanghua village. What's more, he also sent people to guard there, waiting for the current situation.
Originally, it was just a guess, just in case, but I didn't expect that someone would burn and kill him in the night, and he would be punished.
The head of Huanghua village, who was also the head of the clan, asked to enter the palace to testify for Prince Zhao.
It is reasonable to say that the king may not believe a nobody as a witness, but the patriarch is very confident that he will believe his words."Does your highness know his true identity?"
"I didn't know before, but I knew the answer when I was on the road."
"What is it?" Tang Yue has made up several versions of the story with deep feelings. For example, the loyal servants in the past were demoted out of the government because of their mistakes. For example, their childhood playmates, who grew up together in the past, left their hometown because of the king's suspicion and lived in Huanghua village.
"Why are you so curious?" Prince Zhao took his hand and stroked it gently on the back of his hand.
Tang Yue's attention was attracted by the story, and he didn't even respond to eating tofu. "It's natural to be curious about the king's gossip."
Prince Zhao thought and nodded, "it's true. On the main hall today, the ministers are also curious." I just didn't dare to ask.
"Come on, don't let me off the hook, just say it."
"Don't you say you're going back to the Marquis of Liyang today? It's late at this time. Do you want to go? "
Tang Yue took a look outside, "Oh, it's so late It's natural to go. Why don't you go to the waiting house for dinner He hasn't been back for a long time, but he missed it.
This half year's living together also made him have family affection for the family of Marquis of Quyang. His doting old lady, his cheap father who cares for him very much, has beautiful and lovely sisters with different personalities. As for Madame Hou, she is not included for the moment.
"Well, just walk and say it." The prince went into the house and changed his clothes. He got on the bus with Tang Yue and went to the Marquis of Liyang.
"The old father-in-law, named Su Ying, was the housekeeper of his father-in-law when he was young, and he was also a slave who took care of him when he was young. His feelings were extraordinary. Later, I don't know what happened. The housekeeper was released from slavery and became a common people, and he was expelled from the palace..."
"Wait..." Tang Yue interrupted and asked, "Why are you exempt from slavery after being expelled from the palace? Is this grace or punishment? "
Prince Zhao drank a mouthful of saliva. "The father was a benevolent young man at that time. Even if he found that the housekeeper around him had made a mistake, he was still exempted from slavery before he was expelled. Otherwise, the housekeeper would only be sold again after he left the house."
"Very kind." Tang Yue recalled the impression of only a few meetings, but he didn't find anything special about him.
However, after fighting for the throne, and finally sitting in that position, I'm afraid goodness has been almost wiped out.
"The housekeeper didn't go far after he left the house. Instead, he used his accumulated money to buy some fields and build a house in Huanghua village. He spent 20 years quietly."
"If it's just like this, why does the king leave him alone to talk about the past?" A prince, a slave of twenty years ago, what is there to talk about?
"I don't know. Maybe there are other secrets that Gu didn't find out, but as long as it has nothing to do with us, we don't need to worry about him."
"That's true." Tang Yue was just curious. He did not intend to understand the old enmity between the master and the servant. As long as Prince Zhao could get rid of the mud of this rumor, it would be enough.
"Your Highness, Prince and princess, the Marquis's house is here." The carriage stopped and the driver's voice came from outside.
Tang Yuexian jumped out of the car and looked at the familiar gate with a smile on his lips.
A large family of Hou's family met at the gate. According to the etiquette, Tang Yue, who had already married out to become the prince's concubine, also had to pay a big ceremony.
Tang Yue bluff a jump, there is no way to avoid, had to hide behind Prince Zhao.
Prince Zhao took his hand and said to his family, "they are all one family. We don't have to do this ceremony in the future."
"Thank you for your grace."
"Flat."
The Marquis of Liyang stood up and made way for Prince Zhao to go ahead. "Your Highness, please!"
Prince Zhao naturally walked in front of him, followed by Tang Yue, and then the Marquis of Liyang.
Tang Yue's heart was filled with emotion: This is the strict hierarchy of feudal society. Even if a family goes on for a long time, it will inevitably lead to division, right?
