Emperor Wu glanced at Chang Lin deeply and did not continue to question him.
"The queen's death anniversary is coming soon, right?"
Hearing this, Chang Lin was obviously relieved, and his tense body relaxed: "Yes! There are still five days."
"Time flies so fast!" Emperor Wu sighed: "In the blink of an eye, she has been gone for eleven years."
"Your Majesty, my condolences!" Chang Lin felt that Emperor Wu was in a low mood and said quickly.
In the main hall, there was silence.
Emperor Wu immediately stood up and said: "I haven't talked to the queen for a long time..."
Chang Lin silently followed Emperor Wu...
Whenever he was upset or couldn't make up his mind, Emperor Wu would come to talk to the queen.
Chang Lin stayed outside.
"Ling'er, our little son...has grown up...he has become naughty and even deceived me..."
"I'm sorry for you, I didn't teach him, I didn't take care of him..."
"I know you like that girl Xiaoru, and I have no intention of breaking the contract... just think of it as compensation for him..."
Emperor Wu was talking nonchalantly, but in fact, he still had something to say.
That is, he does not want to betroth a girl from the Zhao family to the prince.
First, the prince's status is already stable, and he has never thought of letting other princes become princes;
Second, the prince is liked by all the civil servants and generals. This is already the best situation. If the number one person in the military also stands with him, it will not be conducive to the balance.
The Martial Emperor had come out of the struggle to seize the throne, and he was very aware of the allure of this position.
Although the prince has made no big mistakes at present, who can guarantee the future?
Emperor Wu was absolutely unwilling to see him lose control. The prince could cultivate party members, but he could never grow stronger in terms of the strength of his own confidants. This was his bottom line as a father.
If the leader of the military united with the prince, even he would be afraid of this force.
Therefore, even if the prince had pleaded before, Emperor Wu ignored it.
Zhao Jingru can only marry her youngest son, there is no second possibility!
Of course, although Emperor Wu did not admit it, everyone knew that he was still on guard against Prince Zhao's Mansion.
As the only remaining king with a different surname, his military exploits are so outstanding and astonishing.
Emperor Wu didn't want to do what the cunning rabbit had to do, but his unwillingness to do it didn't mean he had complete trust.
What if the first person in the military wants to plan something in the future?
Can the prince control it?
This was another reason why Emperor Wu didn't want Zhao Jingru to marry someone else.
Relatives, don’t sit in a big position!
After much thought, this obscure son was the best.
He has no ambition. Others would rather stay in Beijing than leave. Only this little bastard wants to run away.
What's more, Li Zhaocai is a direct descendant. Although his reputation is not good, he is more than worthy of being the eldest daughter of Prince Zhao.
If Prince Zhao's Mansion wants its blessings to continue, it must make sacrifices and compromises.
Otherwise, Prince Zhao himself would not be at ease, and Emperor Wu would not be at ease either.
Therefore, there is no possibility of accidents in this marriage, and no accidents are allowed.
This is a political marriage involving many factors between the Zhao Palace and the Wu Kingdom Royal Family. The children of both families have no choice or choice.
…
"Your Highness!"
Wu Diao Si looked at Li Zhao who was in a very heavy mood and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Hurry up and help me!" Li Zhao grimaced in pain. Although Chang Lin asked someone to hit him lightly, his butt still hurt.
After getting on the carriage and lying down, Li Zhao let out a sigh of relief.
"Go home!"
"Are you annoying His Majesty again?"
"What do you mean?" Li Zhao tilted his head and stared, very dissatisfied with what the little eunuch said.
"Hehe..." Wu Diaosi laughed dryly and said, "Your Highness, you haven't caused enough trouble yourself..."
"Get out!" Li Zhao didn't want to talk to him.
"By the way, at most tomorrow, you won't have to practice white sugar."
Wu Diao Si was startled and didn't ask anything. He was just a slave. When the master needed to explain, he would naturally explain it. When the master didn't want to explain, it was best not to ask.
"Let's make some arrangements. Father will send someone to take over. From now on, all we have to do is collect the money."
"yes!"
"Also, prepare to collect the crayfish and bullfrogs I mentioned before." Li Zhao ordered.
Wu Diao Si couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
"make money!"
"But you can make a lot of money from sugar?"
"You don't understand!" Li Zhao sighed: "My father has promised me to seal him today. I doubt it. We will have to leave at the end of the month."
"Ah?" Wu Diaosi said hurriedly: "But you are not married yet?"
"We need to get married, but isn't it still half a year before I get married? It's not less than half a year." Li Zhao doesn't want to resist now. There is nothing wrong with having a beautiful wife.
"But... I got the news from Eunuch Chang that my father is going to send me to Jiaozhou for training."
"Ah?" Wu Diao Si was surprised again and his face turned pale.
"Although Jiaozhou is not far from Kyoto, there is also..."
"That's right!" Li Zhao sighed and said, "So, before the seal is sealed, let's get some more money quickly."
Li Zhao actually understood the deep meaning of Emperor Wu's actions.
He made himself suffer the most painful hardships and endure the most vicious beatings. When the time comes that he can no longer bear it, he will definitely roll back to Kyoto and never want to leave again.
…
Prince You's Mansion.
Li Zhao called relevant personnel to the scene, mainly to talk about the closure at that time.
Thinking that he would most likely go to Jiaozhou to seal the deal, Li Zhao was still a little nervous.
This place is really difficult to manage. There are so many clans and clans that there will be a lot of trouble.
Although sugar is profitable, the market has not yet been fully expanded. Therefore, before going to Jiaozhou, you will definitely not make much money.
Li Zhao didn't want to be constrained by money in doing anything after he went there, so he had to make two preparations.
After arranging the relevant matters, Li Zhao decisively called technician No. 3 to give him a massage.
After enjoying this corrupt life, he never wanted to go back to the past.
The No. 8 technician Xiao Qing, who was wearing Li Zhao's avant-garde maid outfit, naturally became more and more skilled in her skills. Li Zhao even fell asleep during the massage.
"Your Majesty!"
"What's wrong?"
"The Food Supervisor has already notified you. You can go there at any time."
"good!"
Li Zhao nodded and said, "Is there any news from my father?"
"Yes, Emperor Wu said, if you don't follow everyone else like in the past, then that's up to you." Wu Diao Temple responded immediately.
"OK!"
June 20th is the Queen’s death anniversary.
On this day, the emperor and all the princes, princesses, and concubines will basically accompany him.
It can be regarded as the largest activity besides large-scale sacrificial activities.
Li Zhao got up early, took a shower and changed clothes. Before dawn, he took a carriage and headed to Shang Food Prison.
In the previous years, because Li Zhao was not popular, even if he wanted to worship his mother, he could only go there after everyone had finished worshiping.
This year, he was too lazy to join everyone, since many people were just doing it as a formality.
Wu Diao Si stayed by Li Zhao's side. He saw that Li Zhao had been left out in the cold these years and felt pain in his heart.
Although His Majesty has noticed it now, the prince has no intention of accompanying him.
When Li Zhao came to Shangshijian, there were almost no people here, because they all went out to do things, and they had to bring a lot of items to worship the Queen.
Therefore, there are very few people here and it is very quiet.
"Huh? Why is there anyone here?"
