Chapter 1070 Shocking

The eagle supported Zhou Yao and soared through the sky at an extremely fast speed. It took only one stick of incense to fly far away, and soon flew into a new area. Below it was Jicheng Mansion, the provincial capital of Southwest Province.

Thorn City Mansion·One Mansion

It happened that an official in the main courtyard looked up at the sky and saw a black speck flying by high in the sky, but he didn't take it seriously, but sighed: "In this kind of place, even the birds are so strong."

This official has good eyesight, seeing that the eagle is huge, he doesn't know if it is an ordinary bird or a bird with enlightened intelligence, he can't help but feel a little worried.

During this period of time, holy events happened frequently in various places, and Southwest Province was no exception.

It is not only the offerings in some shrines that appear holy, but also some ghosts and spirits.

Even not long ago, in a Linshan town more than a hundred miles away from the provincial capital, there was an incident of a ghost taking a concubine by force.

There was a mountain monster who didn't know how long it took to become a spirit. He took a fancy to the daughter of a wealthy businessman in this town and wanted to take her as his concubine.

Although he is only one of the best wealthy businessmen in the town, he is nothing in the county, and he is also a family who does not worry about marrying a daughter. In addition to the beauty of the girl, the wealthy businessman has long planned to betroth his daughter to a family with a higher family status. The last ghost that came out of nowhere?
But after being haunted by it twice, I was so frightened that I took my family to avoid it.

Afterwards, the government of the provincial capital stepped forward and directly sent troops to kill the spirit monster.

This is actually to deter some restless existence in the province!
No matter how powerful you are, if you fight against the government and the court, you will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Since that incident, many officials have become wary of some animals that are different from ordinary people.

"I hope it's just an ordinary bird passing by."

Just as he was feeling emotional, someone suddenly walked in quickly, came to him, and reported in a low voice: "My lord governor, someone is asking to see you, and it is a Taoist boy."

Dao Tong?

"Ask him to meet me in the flower hall." The official's eyes were fixed, and if he could hear it in his ears, this boy must be someone he is familiar with or very important.

"Yes."

Soon, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Dao boy came in from the outside and led him directly into the flower hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saluted the man with his back facing him: "Xiao Dao has met Master Luo."

It turned out that this somewhat emaciated official was none other than Luo Pei, the governor of Southwest Province.

Luo Pei turned around and looked at the Taoist boy.

"You came to see me, but what do you want to tell me?" Luo Pei was obviously very familiar with this person, so he asked directly without using an official accent.

This Daotong's master has some relationship with Luo Pei, he can be regarded as a person in the Daolu Department who can pass on special channel news to him.

He wouldn't come here easily on weekdays, and anyone who came to find him must pass some relatively important news to him-the Taoist sect has many ways to quickly pass the news.

Dao Tong didn't speak, but pulled out the ordinary wooden hairpin stuck on his head, twisted it lightly, and it split into two, took out a small roll of paper from it, and handed it to Luo Pei.

Luo Pei took a look, and couldn't help but gasped, but he was a senior member of the second rank, so he didn't show any other expressions.

This time, when I passed the news to myself, I used this kind of code word to pass it on instead of letting Dao Tong take the lead. I guessed that it must be an extremely important matter, but after reading it now, I realized that it is so important!

"You have worked hard, come here, reward ten taels of silver, go down and rest!" Luo Pei said with a normal expression, seeing someone taking Taoist boy down to rest, he stood where he was, and then suddenly raised his head, letting the tears in his red eyes , so as not to fall.

"Prince, have you seen that the emperor appointed your son as grandson."

"Dazheng's Jiangshan Sheji has not yet been left behind, and has returned to its original owner."

Unexpectedly, although the crown prince passed away, the emperor's grandson finally waited until this day. This must be something that many people are willing and looking forward to seeing.

"Husband, what's the matter with you?" Luo Pei's wife who came in from outside the flower hall was startled when she saw her husband standing there with red eyes, and hurriedly asked.

Only then did Luo Pei come back to his senses, smiled at his wife, and wiped his eyes: "God, I still have eyes!"

Capital · Zhou Mansion
Due to the disappearance of the young lady, the Zhou mansion has not heard laughter for a long time, and the madam has not gone out to socialize recently, it seems that she is ill.

Zhou Yao's father Zhou Licheng, the hostess of the Zhou Mansion, may not have entertained guests for a long time, but today he made an exception.

The guest who came to the mansion to be entertained by him was none other than Shao Sisen's father, Shao Ying. Standard, and then up, it is Zhengqing.

Zhou Licheng and Shao Ying were sitting opposite each other, with tea and fruit snacks on the small table in the middle, neither of them moved, their expressions were a little dignified.

The two of them spoke in the mansion this time because they heard a piece of news, a piece of news that had already been known to all the upper echelons in the capital.

Zhou Licheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly said with emotion: "The world is really unpredictable, no one would have thought that the acting king would become a great-grandson!"

you do not say!

Who could have imagined this, no one could have imagined it!

After saying this, he stopped talking, and Shaoying sat across from him, also lost in thought, wondering what he was thinking.

They are sitting in the tea room now, and it is very quiet when no one speaks.

After a long time, Shao Ying asked, "Go?"

The Zhou family and the Shao family are family friends. Although the children are not married this time, they have a deep relationship, and they have always moved forward and backward at the same time.

Shaoying didn't say where she was going, but both the person who asked and the person who listened understood.

Zhou Licheng was silent, and after a while, he said, "Go, it's orthodox after all."

After a pause, Zhou Licheng said with emotion again: "The grandson canonization ceremony is about to be held, how many people will go early?"

Shao Ying understood the meaning, if it was just for etiquette, then it didn't really matter much, after all, conferring a grandson, out of the honor of a monarch and his ministers, all qualified officials must congratulate him.

But the question is whether to get closer, it is different.

Shao Ying felt that there would be no less, after all, today is not the past.

When the emperor was young and mature, not to mention that there was only one prince missing, even if there was no more, it would not really shake the government and the public. At most, it was scary and afraid of being implicated.

The emperor was young, and had other sons, not just one. The whole family of the princes had been wiped out. Even though it was terrifying, everyone was dead, so what could others do?
Persuasion?

It is still useful to persuade people before they are killed, and then persuade people after they are dead, isn't it waiting to die together?
The emperor can kill even his own son, and even his own grandson. With a red-eyed look, how can he show mercy to these outsiders?
So at that time, even though they heard that the whole family of the crown prince had been wiped out, no one dared to question the matter, and there was a dead silence.

It's different now.

The grandson is young, but the emperor... is old, not many years ago.

And everyone's life and death, honor and disgrace, even the family, or a few years later, will be in the mind of the new emperor.

Don't talk about being successful, at least you have to save your life and your current status, right?

How many people dare not show their favor?

Zhou Licheng and Shao Ying glanced at each other and saw that they were terrified of each other. When reading history books before, they were always confused about the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince.

Since ancient times, it is rare for a prince to die well.

Now I understand.

Every emperor will grow old, but the crown prince will be young. All the ministers, no matter they are loyal or traitorous, capable or stupid, have to draw closer to the crown prince, only to a certain extent.

Faced with this situation, the mediocre king can still comfort himself: "This is the crown prince, my son, and the heir of the country."

However, Mingjun and Yingjun were extremely unbearable, so they often had only a few years to live, but they still brazenly killed the prince, and finally made Emperor Yong ascend the throne.

If you are lucky, you can still maintain it. If you are not lucky, you will die in the second generation.

But even so, Zhou Licheng and Shao Ying didn't dare not go.

"In case the grandson ascends the throne, I will wait for the officials who can't go, and I'm afraid that the disaster will come down immediately." Zhou Licheng stood up, looked at the vast sky in the distance, and couldn't help trembling slightly.

Since Li Taisun, the undercurrent that has been suppressed for 20 years has surged and terrified.

What do you think of the emperor?
