It’s spring and autumn again.
After the arrival of spring, the capital finally became warmer, but it started to rain not long after. During this period of time, it has been rainy and rainy, and the finally warm weather has turned cold again.
At this time, the atmosphere in Prince Dai's Mansion was even colder than the weather.
The acting princess is gone.
Last year, Dai Wangfei finally gave birth to Dai Wang’s eldest son. She had a dystocia during childbirth and almost died. Fortunately, she and her child Fu Da Ming mostly survived, but since then, Princess Dai's body has become very weak.
After giving birth to the child, Princess Dai has been bedridden. In order to make Dai Wangfei better, Dai Wang hired many doctors to nurse Dai Wangfei back to health, but to no avail. Later, Daiwang asked the emperor to arrange for the Xie family's miracle doctor to take the pulse of Princess Dai.
The emperor was well aware of King Dai's temperament. If he had not been desperate, he would never have asked the Xie family's miraculous doctor to check Princess Dai's pulse.
There was an emperor's order, but Duke Zhenguo did not dare to disobey the order, so he obediently arranged for the Xie family's miraculous doctor to take the pulse of Princess Dai.
After checking Princess Dai's pulse, the Xie family's miracle doctor told King Dai that Princess Dai had been completely injured due to a difficult childbirth, and medicine and stone were useless, and it was impossible for gods to save her. He asked the king to prepare the funeral arrangements for the princess.
Of course the king could not accept this result, but all the doctors said so, so he could only accept it.
She knew her own body, and after Princess Dai gave birth to her son, she knew that her time was running out. She was able to live for so long because she relied on ginseng. Now, her body is like a dead tree, and no amount of precious ginseng or other medicinal materials can save her life.
Princess Dai knew that she was about to die, so she took a shower, changed clothes, and put on exquisite makeup.
Since giving birth to a sick child, Princess Dai has not only become weaker and weaker, but her face has also become more and more ugly. She once saw herself in the mirror and couldn't believe it was her, because the person in the mirror was as scary as a ghost.
Princess Dai sat back on the bed, her energy and complexion suddenly improved a lot, and with the exquisite makeup on, she seemed to be back before she fell ill.
King Dai sat on the edge of the bed, holding Princess Dai's hand with both hands. He looked at Princess Dai with red eyes and tears in his eyes.
Princess Dai is the cousin of King Dai. The two grew up together and have a very good relationship. In the heart of Dai Wang, Dai Wangfei is very important. Not only because Princess Dai was his childhood sweetheart, but also because Princess Dai was smart and virtuous. Over the years, Princess Dai has been helping him make suggestions and solve many problems for him.
"Cousin, you must take good care of yourself and our son in the future." Princess Dai did not regret giving birth to a child for King Dai, nor did she regret losing her life for it.
King Dai held Princess Dai's hand tightly, his eyes full of sadness and reluctance. His voice was choked: "Princess..."
Princess Dai reached out and touched King Dai's face, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Cousin, the happiest thing in my life is to marry you..." Princess Dai said, the light in her eyes slowly dimmed, and her tone became weaker and weaker. She talked about her and Prince Dai's childhood. Things, talking about how they were when they first got married, talking about...she said a lot of things.
The king listened quietly and shed tears silently.
Just then, there was a sound of thunder outside the window, and a bolt of lightning tore through the gloomy sky.
Princess Dai knew that she was leaving. Before leaving, she used her last strength to hold the king's hand and gasped: "Cousin, you must take good care of our son and never let him be wronged..."
"good."
"Cousin, if you can't take care of our son, send him to the palace and ask your mother to take care of him." Princess Dai gasped and said with all her strength, "Cousin, you should think twice about your actions in the future. Then, you must ask the mother concubine... and the concubine... She is a member of the Wang family after all... You must not be deceived by her... You must take good care of her..." Before the words could be finished, the concubine Dai said. I closed my eyes and completely lost my breath.
"Princess! Princess! Princess!"
The rain outside the window was very heavy, and the king in the room cried loudly for the princess.
Soon, the palace received news that Princess Dai had died of illness.
Naturally, the eighth prince in Xingde Palace also received the news.
"This generation of princesses finally died." Yu Hai said, "She was really lucky. She lived for an extra year." Logically speaking, Dai Wangfei should have died when she gave birth. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that she suddenly died. She survived and survived for another year.
A playful smile appeared on the corner of the Eighth Prince's lips, and he said: "The Princess Dai is dead, and there will be something good to watch next."
Yu Hai smiled and said: "Finally, we have a good show to watch." Just after he finished speaking, Yu Hai remembered another interesting thing, "Your Highness, I heard that the princess of Annan Kingdom is making peace with King Zheng." King Zheng He is the third prince. When he came of age last year, he was named Prince Zheng and his fiefdom was in Jiaozhou. However, King Zheng has not yet gone to his fief.
Not long after King Zheng was crowned king last year, he married Princess Zheng and Princess Side. Because he had just gotten married and Princess Zheng was pregnant, he did not leave for Jiaozhou.
Concubine Shu and the Wang family were dissatisfied with King Zheng's fiefdom. They did not expect that the emperor would ask King Zheng to go to Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou is a very small state and not rich. The most important thing is that it is a little far from the capital and a little close to Shu.
In the eyes of Concubine Shu and the Wang family, Jiaozhou was a poor and remote place. How could they be willing for Prince Zheng to suffer in such a poor place. The most important thing is that Jiaozhou is too small to be of much use.
Marquis Anyang and Concubine Shu begged the emperor in every possible way, hoping that the emperor could keep King Zheng in the capital for two more years. The emperor disagreed at first, but thinking that King Dai was still in the capital, he had no choice but to agree to King Zheng staying in the capital for two more years.
When King Zheng came of age and was granted the title of queen, although he did not go to the fiefdom, he also began to formally go to court. However, he does not have actual duties like Dai Wang. He is just a decoration in the court for the time being.
The emperor was dissatisfied with the fact that King Zheng used unscrupulous means to marry the princess of Annan Kingdom. At that time, the emperor reprimanded King Zheng as a man with evil thoughts and said that he had disgraced the royal family.
Because of this matter, the emperor did not arrange for King Zheng to do anything.
In fact, before the third prince was crowned king last year, the emperor had thought of canonizing the third prince as a county prince instead of a prince. Later, under the persuasion of He Xiang and Taishi Liu, he changed his mind and made the third prince a prince.
Concubine Shu and Marquis Anyang also knew that the emperor was angry about the princess of Ananguo, so they did not dare to seek real positions for King Zheng for the time being.
They begged the emperor to keep King Zheng in the capital in order to serve King Zheng in some practical position in the future. They believed that when King Zheng's child was born, the emperor would calm down with King Zheng, and then they would seek real jobs for King Zheng.
"The person Princess Annan originally fell in love with was not Lao San. She was drugged by Lao San and lost her virginity, so she was forced to marry Lao San. Naturally, she had resentment in her heart and was naturally dissatisfied with Lao San." Of course, this incident back then, The eighth prince sent someone to help secretly, otherwise the third prince would not have succeeded at that time.
"Your Highness, who does the Princess of Annan like? Could it be the Emperor?" Yu Hai felt that his guess was correct, "Yes, it is better to be the Emperor's concubine than to be Prince Zheng's concubine."
"No, the princess of Annan is interested in the fourth child."
"What?" Yu Hai said in shock, "Is it His Royal Highness the Fourth?"
The Eighth Prince nodded slightly and said, "That's the fourth child."
Yu Hai opened his mouth in surprise and said with disbelief: "How could it be His Royal Highness?"
The eighth prince sarcastically said: "All women like the fourth child's face. It's not surprising that the princess of Annan Kingdom likes the fourth child."
"The Fourth Highness is not as good-looking as Your Highness..." Yu Hai realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly stopped. Then he knelt on the ground and begged the Eighth Prince, "This slave deserves to be punished. I beg Your Highness to punish me."
The Eighth Prince was not angry and raised his hand to Yu Hai: "Get up."
Yu Hai heard that the Eighth Prince was not angry, and he breathed a sigh of relief in the letter.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
He stood up and said: "Your Highness, since the princess of Annan Kingdom likes the Fourth Highness, we might as well make some use of this matter."
The Eighth Prince asked: "What article are you going to write?"
"Your Highness, in a few months, the Fourth Highness will be crowned king. If we don't do something about it, maybe the emperor will give His Highness a good fiefdom."
The eighth prince asked with interest: "Which state do you think my father will reward the fourth child?"
Yu Hai replied without any hesitation: "Liangzhou."
"Why do you think it's Liangzhou?"
"Liangzhou is one of the most important state capitals, and Liangzhou is rich in products. The emperor will not trust such an important place in Liangzhou to the fifth and seventh princes." Yu Hai analyzed, "In addition, this In the past one or two years, the Emperor has taken a fancy to His Highness the Fourth, and the Emperor will definitely hand over Liangzhou to the management of His Highness the Fourth."
After listening to Yu Hai's analysis, the Eighth Prince gave Yu Hai an appreciative look.
"That's right. My father will hand over Liangzhou to the fourth son for management."
"Your Highness, we must not let the Fourth Highness take charge of Liangzhou." Yu Hai said hurriedly, "Once Liangzhou belongs to the Fourth Highness, the Fourth Highness will be a very big threat to us in the future." Among so many princes, Only the Fourth Highness poses the greatest threat to His Highness. They had better get rid of the Fourth Highness before His wings mature.
The eighth prince naturally knew this, but he couldn't touch the fourth prince now.
"Once we take action on the fourth child, we will be exposed."
Yu Hai did not expect this: "Your Highness is right." There was a hint of unwillingness on his face, "Your Highness, are we just going to watch the fourth prince take charge of Liangzhou?"
The Eighth Prince said calmly: "The fourth child is no match for us now."
"Your Highness, Liangzhou is a very important place..."
"Giving Liangzhou to the fourth child is better than giving it to Prince Zheng and the others." Although the eighth prince has been secretly vying for that position, it does not mean that he only has power in his heart and does not care about the people. On the contrary, he has the people in his heart.
"Your Highness, it is impossible for the Emperor to give Liangzhou to Prince Zheng and the others." Yu Hai thought to himself that no one could stop the Emperor from giving Liangzhou the reward to the fourth prince.
"Lao Si and I are in peace for the time being, and there is no need to interfere in his affairs." The Eighth Prince said in a serious tone, "We must not be exposed until the Crown Prince and the King Dai fight and both sides suffer."
"This slave is careless," Yu Hai said, "His Highness is still wise."
"Tomorrow morning, you can send me something for worship to Prince Dai's Mansion."
"Yes, Your Highness."
In Kunde Hall, Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao also learned about this matter.
Since last year, everyone has been spreading rumors that the princess is in poor health. The imperial doctors all said that it would be difficult for Princess Dai to survive next spring, and now the imperial doctors were right.
Liang Zhaoyi sighed softly, her tone full of pity: "Princess Dai is also a pitiful person."
Zhao Yao couldn't understand: "Is it worth sacrificing your life to give birth to a child?" If it were him, he would never let his princess give up her life to give birth to a child.
"Most women in the world think it's worth it." Liang Zhaoyi told Zhao Yao, "You go to Prince Dai's Mansion to mourn him tomorrow morning."
"I know." Zhao Yao sighed, "Why bother."
Seeing that her son didn't understand, Liang Zhaoyi said to him gently: "In the past few years, King Dai was ridiculed by the courtiers and the people because he had no heirs, and Princess Dai was also criticized by everyone. Besides, Princess Dai loved King Dai deeply, how could she bear to do it for him?" The king has always been ridiculed by the world.”
She added: "Even if she knew in advance that she would die giving birth to a child, she would not hesitate to give birth to a child for the king."
"It's not Princess Dai's fault that she can't have a child." Zhao Yao shook his head and said with disapproval, "I don't agree with such behavior." When a person dies, there is nothing. If a person does not die, he will still have a chance to give birth to children in the future.
Liang Zhaoyi smiled slightly and did not talk about this topic again. Change the subject and talk about the fourth prince.
"This year the fourth prince comes of age. Have you thought about what birthday gift to give him?"
"Ah, there are still several months until fourth brother's birthday, why are you in a hurry?" When talking about the fourth prince's coming of age and the title of king, Zhao Yao showed a look of reluctance on his little face, "Forth brother, should I be crowned queen immediately?" Are you about to go to the fiefdom?"
"Probably not." Liang Zhaoyi said, "Didn't King Zheng not go to Jiaozhou when he was granted the title of Queen?"
"That's because the third brother dislikes Jiaozhou and is unwilling to go. But the fourth brother is different. The fourth brother once said that when he is crowned king, he will immediately go to the land." Zhao Yao said, sighing faintly, " I'm afraid that the fourth brother has been preparing to go to the fiefdom since last year. Now the fourth brother is waiting to be crowned the king." He felt that the fourth brother could not wait to go to the fiefdom.
Liang Zhaoyi asked: "Can't you bear to leave the fourth prince?"
Zhao Yao nodded vigorously: "I can't bear to part with you, very reluctant to let go."
"If you are reluctant to part with the fourth prince, you can ask your father to go to the fourth prince's fief for a while in the future." Liang Zhaoyi suggested.
Zhao Yao pursed his lips and said, "Will my stinky father agree?"
Liang Zhaoyi smiled and said: "Maybe I will agree."
"Then I'll beg you to see when the time comes." Zhao Yao stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with a grimace, "Concubine, I want to grow up, but I don't want to grow up. When I grow up, the fourth brother and eighth brother will leave. If I don't grow up, I will stay in the palace all my life." He really couldn't bear to leave his fourth brother and eighth brother. Fortunately, after the fourth brother left the capital, there was still the eighth brother. It's just that in a few years, myna will become an adult and become a king to fief a land.
"There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever." Liang Zhaoyi gently comforted Zhao Yao, "The fourth prince hasn't left yet. Before he leaves, just stay with him."
"It can only be the."
"The fourth prince treats you well. Before he goes to the fiefdom, you should give him a big gift."
"Big gift?" Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, then understood what Liang Zhaoyi meant, "Then I have to think about it carefully."
Seeing that her son understood what she meant, Liang Zhaoyi said nothing more. She continued to sit at the loom and weave.
The loom Liang Zhaoyi is using was made by Zhao Yaoxin last year. It is a new textile machine.
The new textile machine is not only lighter and easier to use than the old textile machine, but also can weave better cloth than the old textile machine. It can also weave cloth faster than the old textile machine, and can also weave more cloth than the old textile machine.
The new textile machines developed by Zhao Yao have been used all over the Zhou Dynasty and are deeply loved by the people.
The emergence of new textile machines made Zhao Yao, the tenth prince, "popular" among the people again.
Now, when people mention the tenth prince, they will praise him.
Zhao Yao didn't think anything of it. He felt like he was just doing what he was supposed to do.
Before, the ministers thought that Zhao Yao was a stupid prince, but now the ministers don't think so. Although the tenth prince is still not smart in reading, he is very talented in making things.
In the past few years, the things His Royal Highness has produced are more and more amazing, but the ministers still think that he has no future and are still unwilling to support him. On the surface, they are.
The ministers admitted that the things Zhao Yao made were very useful to the people, but they still looked down upon Zhao Yao because they felt that the things Zhao Yao made were of no use to them.
Most of the ministers in the court are selfish. They only serve as officials for their own glory and wealth, not for the benefit of the people. The life and death of the people is not important to them. Therefore, no matter what Zhao Yao does, they will not change their minds and support the tenth prince.
Zhao Yao also didn't care about the support of ministers. If ministers support him, it will be a bad thing for him.
Nowadays, most of the ministers in the court still support the prince and the acting king, but some also support the fourth prince. Currently, there are more ministers supporting the fourth prince than Prince Zheng.
Although the situation in the court has not yet reached the point of a three-legged confrontation, it is very likely that a three-legged confrontation will occur when the fourth prince reaches adulthood.
Two updates will be resumed starting from the 1st of next month.
Zhao Yao: Fourth brother wants to be crowned king and leave the capital, but he is reluctant to do so┭┮﹏┭┮
It’s the last two days of this month, old friends, please vote for me!
