Chapter 66 Zhao Heng's Decision

Dasong Palace City.

Nanzhang Gate.

Guan Zhong straightened his clothes. The tall gate in front of him was the emperor's residence.

The red walls and green tiles in the gate were full of carved corridors and painted buildings.

On the corridor paved with bluestone, palace maids and eunuchs in gorgeous palace costumes came and went from time to time.

At the door, the soldiers of the imperial army in bright armor stood solemnly without any expression.

But he knew that if he dared to break in private, he would be chopped into meat paste immediately.

"You guys take the wine away, you follow me."

At this time, a group of eunuchs came out of the door. The older eunuch shouted to other young eunuchs to carry the wine, and came to Guan Zhong himself.

"The palace is not like other places. Don't look around or walk around after entering the palace. Wait where you are told to wait." The eunuch reminded as he walked.

He was sent by Liang Cheng to guide Guan Zhong into the palace.

Guan Zhong's palms were sweaty with nervousness. He was just a servant of the King of Yan.

Now, in such a short time, he has met Liang Zongguan again, and now he has met the emperor again. What an honor it is.

This trip alone is enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

But at the same time, he also knew in his heart that these big men did not want to see him, but the King of Yan.

Therefore, he deeply understood a truth: if he wanted to be rich and prosperous, he had to follow the King of Yan.

"Sure, sure." Guan Zhong agreed, took a few steps forward, and quietly stuffed a certain amount of silver into the hands of the eunuch who led the way.

The eunuch weighed it, his smile gradually became warmer, and he talked more.

"The Prince of Yan went to Yan County. People in the palace said that the Prince of Yan didn't know how much suffering he would have to endure there. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise. His brain disease was cured and he made such a big fuss."

"The emperor's meeting with you this time is equivalent to telling everyone that he will treat the Prince of Yan well in the future. After all, this is an important place in the palace, and countless eyes are watching."

"..."

Guan Zhong listened all the way and nodded frequently.

He followed the eunuchs around for a long time before stopping in a room.

At this point, the older eunuch withdrew, Liang Cheng came out and led him to a bead curtain.

Guan Zhong didn't dare to look up, but he could see a pair of feet wearing gold shoes through the bead curtain.

He quickly knelt down and shouted, "Guan Zhong, the servant of the King of Yan, greets the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Get up."

Zhao Heng raised his eyes and glanced outside the pearl curtain, then stood up and walked slowly to the window, seemingly asking casually, "When did the King of Yan recover from his illness, and what did he do in Yan County?"

"Your Majesty, it has been more than a month since your highness recovered from his illness. At that time, the wealthy families in Yan County bullied your highness for being ill and occupied the land of the royal palace..." Guan Zhong told the story of Zhao Xu selling the ice-making technique to the wealthy families, brewing fine wine, establishing a personal army, and then getting rid of the Huang and Du families.

Zhao Heng nodded while listening, and at the end, a hidden smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although he already knew about these things, he still had a new look at the ninth prince when the King of Yan said it himself.

He believed that any other prince would not do better than the ninth prince if he was in that situation. '

After all, not everyone can come up with the method of making ice and brewing wine.

"When the Ninth Prince was in the palace, he studied very hard. Now that he has recovered from his illness, he has shown his talent." Liang Cheng added.

He has served Zhao Heng since he was a child, and he can often guess the emperor's thoughts from Zhao Heng's subtle expressions.

Although Zhao Heng did not show it when he first mentioned the King of Yan, he figured it out after he went back.

So during this period of time, he took care of the King of Yan not just for his own personal interests, but more for the emperor to see.

Now that Zhao Heng is willing to meet the King of Yan's servants, it shows that Zhao Heng has the idea of ​​using this prince again.

"That's right." Zhao Heng had to admit this point. The Ninth Prince was indeed hardworking.

Turning around and looking at Guan Zhong again, he said, "Tell the Prince of Yan a message. My original intention was to let him keep a low profile in Yan County, be a rich and noble prince, and have a leisurely life. But recently he has been making ice and selling wine. Everyone in the capital knows that there is a Prince of Yan in Yan County. Now he can't keep a low profile."

After a slight pause, he said, "Tell him again that although he is doing a lot in Yan County, he must be careful and not act rashly to save his life. However, there is no need to be too timid. The royal family of Dasong is one. He is the prince of Dasong anyway."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guan Zhong was delighted when he heard this.

These words mean that the emperor agrees with the actions of the Prince of Yan in Yan County.

And there is a hint of secret support. If so, the Prince of Yan will have a greater support in Yan County in the future.

Zhao Heng nodded and continued, "Also, tell him not to blame me for sending him to Yan County. He and I are father and son, and we are also monarchs and subjects. I can demote officials because of my momentary joy and anger, and naturally I can demote princes."

"Your Highness is afraid that he can't be filial to the emperor, and he dare not complain to the emperor." Guan Zhong said hurriedly.

"That's right, after all, blood is thicker than water." Liang Cheng smiled.

Zhao Heng raised his hand at this time, "Okay, you go back, I will give him an edict in the next few days to set things right."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guan Zhong responded and bowed to leave the hall.

Liang Cheng sent Guan Zhong to the door and turned back.

"This time, the King of Yan should be relieved." Liang Cheng lifted the pearl curtain.

Zhao Heng walked out and nodded slightly.

He could still guess what the King of Yan was thinking.

He was alone in Yan County, so he naturally had to maintain his relationship with him.

After all, everyone thought that sending Prince Yan to Yan County was basically giving up on him.

Now, if he responds, this alone will be enough to deter many villains.

But there are always pros and cons, and this will also bring him a lot of hostility.

However, the business of King Yan made him famous, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

So, he decided to change his attitude and tell the world that he was the son of King Yan.

"Yanguan already has Mo Di in charge, and now with King Yan, we can support each other, and my Dasong's northern border should be more secure." Zhao Heng exhaled lightly.

This is also one of the reasons why he decided to support King Yan after learning that King Yan recovered from his illness.

As long as the northern border is not broken, although the powerful families in Dasong secretly secede, Dasong can at least be peaceful and prosperous.

But if the northern border is broken, Dasong will never have peace again, and he is still clear about this.

As for the Yuan family, he is a hundred times worried.

After all, if the Yuan family has its own troops and turns to Beidi or Xiliang, Dasong's northern barrier will be destroyed overnight.

Based on this, he must also support the Prince of Yan to take Yan County.

"This can only be said that the emperor is deeply loved by God. If other princes entered Yan County, something would happen halfway. The Prince of Yan was crazy at the time, which made the Yuan family and the nobles of Yan County relax their vigilance, which gave him the opportunity to gain a firm foothold." Liang Cheng flattered.

Zhao Heng laughed when he heard this.

For him, the matter of the Prince of Yan was indeed an unintentional success.

However, although he has decided to support the Prince of Yan in the court, the strength of this support depends on the performance of the Prince of Yan in Yanzhou.

After all, he cannot influence the Prince of Yan's actions in Yan County.

And once the Prince of Yan is appeased by an order, people who are hostile to the Prince of Yan will definitely target him.

If he can't stand it in the end, he can recall him and make him an idle prince,

but he will have no value from then on. Returning to the capital, he will be nothing without the support of the powerful families.

And when he passes away, I'm afraid he won't be able to be an idle prince.

"Xu'er, don't let your father down." Zhao Heng said.
