How could the Concubine De be an ordinary person if she could speak for herself in the harem.
There's no need to speak too deeply, as long as Han You understands what he means.
The draft is real, and so is the “inspection.”
The person inspecting was the prince, Xiaoba Han Yong.
Regarding the education and growth of Lao Ba's children, Concubine De now doesn't even believe in Lao Ba, but only believes in Han You. Han You "looks at" the children, and he is right at first glance. He never spoils the children. That is true education, and it is What a beating.
Youzhou is close to the East China Sea and its geographical location is extremely convenient, extending in all directions.
With the incident like Lao Sanzhou Ben, Empress Dowager De was also beginning to worry about King Zhou Yong of Han who was close to the Third Road of the East China Sea. Even there were people from the Blue Shirt Academy in Beijing, let alone Youzhou.
However, these are just speculations and worries. Han You has to go and see what the specific situation is.
Empress Dowager De's intention is to see how the child is doing when she gets there. If her ability is mediocre and she can't help, she should quickly return to Beijing and use the talent show to leave the East China Sea, which is likely to be plunged into war.
If the child is in the same situation as the third child, then don't hesitate. Han You has the final say on how to deal with it, whether it is to find a place for house arrest or to secretly escort him back to Beijing.
In addition, Concubine De also revealed a piece of information intentionally or unintentionally, that is, the palace has been extremely disappointed with Lao San. No matter what happens to the East China Sea in the future, it is impossible for Zhou Ben to return to the fiefdom. At least that is the current plan. of.
The location of the fiefdom over the East China Sea is extremely important, and it must be guarded by a trustworthy prince in the palace. Concubine De also wants Han You to inspect it. If it doesn't work, she will change the fiefdom of the eighth child to the former fiefdom of the third child. But it has to be There is a premise that Xiaoba has this ability.
"Understood."
Han You nodded: "It's a pity for the parents in the world. You have to be in charge of the harem and be a mother to the world, and you also have to worry about your majesty's troubled children."
"You are a miserable person." Empress Dowager De Fei laughed at herself: "Your Majesty's children are my children. I don't worry about it. Is it possible that your Majesty's children..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking. This also shows the overall view of Empress Dowager De.
Not all of the nine children of Lao Ba were the biological children of Empress De Fei. Although she could not treat them all equally, Empress De Concubine did her best to "prevent" and "reconcile" them.
In the history books, there are many stories of brothers fighting against each other and killing each other, and it is not uncommon for even huge dynasties to fall apart.
Lao Ba is a little proud or arrogant in this regard. Fathers, especially fathers with relatively high status, always think that they can suppress their children for the rest of their lives and the children will always obey them. Wrong, it is a big mistake, the more severe it is , either the more obedient or the more rebellious.
In fact, some clues have been seen from the eldest brother Zhou Xiao and the old Zhou Zhouben. Their rebellion is not due to Lao Ba's arrogance.
Concubine De was extremely smart and knew that it was useless to talk to Lao Ba about this matter. She could only think of a solution on her own. Fortunately for her, Han You was there.
"I have no brothers, only sisters."
Concubine De suddenly called herself "this palace" and said seriously: "Your Majesty treats Commander Han as his own brother. Everyone in the palace knows it, and I also know it. I don't care about your majesty, and I don't think about your majesty. I only talk about myself. If it is time to behead, His Majesty will pass away tomorrow, and I will still treat Commander Han as my younger brother. There are two reasons. First, the friendship. Commander Han’s friendship with me and the officials in the palace does not care about the children. Second, Again, those words about beheading, if His Majesty dies tomorrow, I know that the only one who can protect me and my children, in such a great country, is you, Commander Han."
Han You lowered his gaze and nodded slightly. No wonder it was a couple. Look at this method of buying people's hearts. He knew that he was buying people's hearts, but he also knew that he was telling the truth.
"Your Majesty treats you as a brother, and I treat you as a younger brother, then you must treat His Majesty's children as nephews."
Having said this, Concubine De clapped her hands, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and a palace maid came in holding a box as long as an arm.
The box was placed behind the stone table, and the palace maid withdrew.
"Bird light."
Concubine De opened the box, and a short knife shimmering with light reflected the coldness that caught people's eyes.
"This short soldier was made by the superb craftsmen of Wenwuxun back then. It was given to me as a gift on my birthday. His Majesty did not want to take me with him when he came to the capital that year. He was afraid that something would happen to me. He asked me how I could help if I followed. I Take this short-hand weapon and say I can kill people.”
Empress De Fei showed a look of recollection, with some indescribable emotions on her face.
"When I entered the capital and entered the palace, I did kill people. I killed many people. They were all the people who deserved to be killed. But they were not killed with this short-hand weapon. Que Guang, I was protecting myself in the palace. When I first entered the palace, I was afraid that remnants of the previous dynasty would plot evil in the palace. Whether I was awake or asleep, I kept it with me. I felt at ease in the palace with the knife by my side. Now my sister has no need for this short-hand weapon. , I will give you the sparrow light today."
Just as Han You was about to decline, Concubine De had already pushed the box in front of the former.
"I also have a famous sword. That sword is used for killing people. Do you know why my sister gave you a short sword instead of a long sword?"
"I know, I want to come back alive."
"Yes, I promise you, sister, as long as I live one day, Zhongsun Wushuang, Wu Mingyue, Sikong Zhao, Princess Caiyang, and your unborn child, as long as they are still in the capital and in the villa, they will My life is my sister’s life, and they will make no mistakes, so you must do the same, and come back without any mistakes, do you understand?"
Han You stood up and gave a heavy salute: "Thank you, empress."
"Sister wants you to promise me, not to thank me."
"this…"
"The dynasty is the dynasty of my Zhou family, the dynasty of the imperial court, and the dynasty of everyone in the world. It is not your unique dynasty, Han You."
Concubine De's words were not shocking, and she stared at Han You: "Zhongsun Wushuang, Wu Mingyue, Sikong Zhao, and Princess Caiyang are your relatives and your children. This is what is unique to you. Without you, , The Great Zhou Dynasty is still the Great Zhou Dynasty. Without you, your relatives, and your children, what would be the situation? You can’t bear it, but I can’t bear it. You can’t bear it, Your Majesty can’t bear it. Do you know.”
Han You closed his eyes slightly for a long time, and then said "hmm" in a hoarse voice. A "hmm" was a yes.
"That's good."
Empress De Fei finally showed a smile, stood up and patted the back of Han You's hand: "Remember, the bird is only for self-protection. If someone is not good for you in the East China Sea, no matter what his identity is, if he betrays me, Dazhou, betrayal Your Majesty, now that you are at a critical moment of life and death, I will take action. I don’t blame you, Your Majesty, and I won’t blame you either.”
Han You took a breath: "Empress..."
"If even Dazhou has rebelled, and even His Majesty has rebelled, how can there be any sense of family ties? They are not a family, and they want to murder our own family members. Kill... just kill them."
Han You was shocked and speechless.
"Have a rest. When you leave, remember to go to the palace and tell your sister that she will host a farewell banquet for you."
Han You hesitated to speak, but finally nodded with a wry smile and sent Concubine De to the entrance of the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the courtyard, Lao Sanzhou Ben, who was dressed as a soldier in the Yi Dao camp, was actually at the door, still kneeling at the door, trembling.
"I asked someone to bring him here."
Concubine De looked at Lao San who was kneeling on the ground and asked coldly: "Have you heard what I just said to the commander?"
The third child swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded, with fear in his eyes. This fear was even worse than seeing the eighth child.
"Don't forget it. Don't forget it in this life."
After finishing speaking, Empress De Fei helped Zhou Ben up like a loving mother, bent down slightly and patted the dust on Zhou Ben's legs, and chattered like an old mother.
"Bier, you have a bad fate. You were born into the Zhou family. Your father had good luck and became the emperor. But you have bad luck and became a nobleman of Tianhuang..."
"The prince of the Zhou family must do something to show the world. He must not insult the reputation of the descendants of the Zhou family..."
"Earlier, I thought you were much better than Tong'er with your wisdom..."
"Who knew you were so much worse than Tong'er? Do you know where the difference lies..."
"Tong'er knows who is good to him and who he should listen to. Let's look at you again. Are you cool..."
"The only person who can truly help you when you get to the East China Sea is Commander Han. Don't believe it, everyone will harm you, but Commander Han will not..."
"If you don't believe it, just think that there is only one bird in the world, and Commander Han is the only one in the world who holds that bird in his hand..."
"Remember to be obedient. Ordinary children are not well-behaved. If they don't obey, they will be beaten a few times. But you are a prince..."
"If you continue to disobey me, you will know the last truth..."
"This is where you are unlucky. The greatest fairness in the world is life. The truth is that no matter whether it is a prince or a son of a common man, he only has one life. You have to understand this truth. If you don't understand, just Don’t blame Commander Han for being ruthless. Remember, I told you this. If you want to blame me, blame me. That sparrow light was given to Commander Han by me..."
Concubine De was chattering like an old mother giving advice to her children who were about to travel far away. She talked a lot, without mentioning "death" in every word, but every word was a threat.
Zhou Ben's legs were trembling a little, and cold sweat had already covered his back.
Concubine De finally straightened up and gently stroked Zhou Bi's slightly fair face. Her face was filled with a deep feeling of reluctance, as if this parting was the eternal separation between heaven and man.
Concubine De's eyes were so tender and reluctant. Whether that was the case in Zhou Ben's eyes was unknown. Anyway, the child was covered in cold sweat.
