Prince Consort

King Duan had already returned to Liangzhou, the journey was long, and the people sent by Xie Ze'an took a lot of time to come and go.Xie Ze'an didn't know much about Lu Kuan, and King Duan deliberately let Lu Kuan go, and didn't mention much to Xie Ze'an.When Xie Ze'an's people explained the whole story to King Duan, King Duan wrote down what Lu Kuan had done, and attached some letters that Lu Kuan had handled.

Since Duan Wang had long been prepared to pick himself out, he naturally wouldn't be unguarded against Lu Kuan.

After weighing the balance, King Duan revealed Lu Kuan's network of contacts in the capital to Xie Ze'an.

It was only then that Xie Ze'an realized that a group of people in the East Palace were arranged by Lu Kuan.

Xie Ze'an has already read the list sent by King Duan.Some of them, Xie Zean had a deep impression—I believe Zhao Chongzhao was also impressed, because some of them were the ones who caused Zhao Chongzhao to almost die at the mouth of the beast.Zhao Chongzhao built a zoo at the instigation of his subordinates back then, and because of Yan Ning's illness, he went to the zoo to fight the beasts, which made Zhao Ying completely disappointed in him, and expressed his determination to become a prince to Yan Ning.

The others, together with Xie Xi, built the "Hundred Beasts Mountain" for Zhao Chongzhao back then, setting tigers to hurt people.

Now that I think about it, the two groups of people have very similar ways, and after careful comparison, it is indeed from the same person.

What Xie Ze'an brought into the palace was exactly the past events described in detail by King Duan.At that time, Queen Mother Duan had not passed away, and Lu Kuan obeyed the orders of Queen Mother Duan. Everything he did was to lead Zhao Chongzhao astray, lose the hearts of the people, and logically pull Zhao Chongzhao down from the position of prince.

If there is no evidence in hand, Xie Ze'an will not be too aggressive with Lu Kuan.This time is different, even if he can bear it, can Zhao Chongzhao bear it?

Xie Ze'an actively popularized the glorious deeds of "old friends" with Zhao Chongzhao.

Zhao Chongzhao's face darkened the more he listened.

The old god Xie Ze'an spoke for Lu Kuan on the ground: "This happened 800 years ago. If you think he is very happy to play with, it's okay to keep him."

Zhao Chongzhao said, "I'm not a fool!"

Zhao Chongzhao was really angry. The deepest thorn in his heart over the years was Zhao Ying's disapproval of him.All kinds of evidence show that it was not all his own fault that he behaved so badly at the beginning, but someone was deliberately inducing him to go astray.

How can this be tolerated?Zhao Chongzhao couldn't bear it!

People like to explain themselves, Xie Ze'an sent him the ready-made reasons, and all Zhao Chongzhao's resentment and unwillingness were passed on to Lu Kuan.He said with a cold face: "This hateful bastard must be laughing at me! I will immediately ask someone to put this guy into the prison!"

Xie Ze'an was very considerate of Zhao Chongzhao: "But Mr. Yao..."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "If Mr. Yao has any objections, I will tell you everything he has done!"

Xie Ze'an frowned slightly, but said with a sigh, "Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to target him on purpose."

Zhao Chongzhao was stunned, and asked: "Mr. Yao doesn't like you the most? Why do you think you are targeting him?"

Xie Ze'an said: "A few days ago I went to Mr. Yao's residence and asked Mr. Yao if he could let me participate in the implementation of the new law. Mr. Yao said that I was not strong-hearted and would not let me join."

Zhao Chongzhao suddenly thought of Lu Kuan's words when he fooled him. Yao Dingyan praised Lu Kuan as "my face", so did Yao Dingyan also know that Lu Kuan told him not to tell Xie Ze'an?Zhao Chongzhao found dully that he seemed to have overlooked something very important.

Seeing Zhao Chongzhao's pensive face, Xie Ze'an asked while the iron was hot: "I already know Mr. Yao's reason, what is your reason?"

Zhao Chongzhao: "..."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "The weather is really nice today."

Xie Ze'an said: "I taught you this sentence, please be more professional when changing the subject, thank you."

Zhao Chongzhao's ears were red, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said the reason.Not only did Lu Kuan not speak ill of Xie Ze'an, but he praised Xie Ze'an fiercely, which made him flustered and couldn't help but listen to Lu Kuan's words.

Xie Ze'an was startled after hearing this, and said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you," he looked at Zhao Chongzhao, "I just don't like to talk about what I have done. If I really want to hide it from you, I don't want to hide it from you." I won’t talk about these things with Mr. Yao and Mr. Xu. As for why I mentioned it to Mr. Yao and the others, it’s a long story.”

Xie Ze settled down and told about the confrontation between himself and Yao Dingyan in the past six months.

He and Yao Dingyan said that they shouldn't have come to this point.It's just that he doesn't want to follow blindly, Yao Dingyan doesn't want to be "variable", and no one wants to take half a step back, so the suspicion gradually arises.After Xie Ze'an had a little bit of artistic processing, the whole story became a student retreating and retreating, suffering all kinds of grievances but not daring to say more, so pitiful, pitiful.

The more Zhao Chongzhao listened, the more silent he became, and finally he couldn't help reaching out and hugging Xie Ze'an tightly.Xie Ze'an and Yao Dingyan have been mentors and apprentices for many years, and their friendship has always been extremely deep. Although Xie Ze'an always complained about Yao Dingyan's strict control, he always did his best to do what Yao Dingyan ordered.

Now that the relationship between master and apprentice has become like this, Xie Zean must feel very uncomfortable.

Zhao Chongzhao said aggrievedly: "Sanlang, I don't know anything, and you don't tell me anything."

Xie Ze'an didn't break free from Zhao Chongzhao's embrace, he said: "It's hard to say. Even not long ago, I still thought that my husband and I could return to the kind of close relationship we used to have. If it wasn't for what happened to Lu Kuan, we Maybe I won't say it now." He paused, his brows were full of worry, "I'm afraid that once you catch Lu Kuan, the master will ask me to ask you for a crime."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Is there really no other way?" On one side was Yao Dingyan whom he respected, and on the other side was Xie Ze'an who he wanted to stay with for the rest of his life. Zhao Chongzhao was very embarrassed, "Mr. Yao, he really doesn't like Saburo you?"

Xie Zean remained silent.

Zhao Chongzhao felt that he was an asshole.

Both Xie Zean and Yao Dingyan were very important people to him, but he only knew that Xu Juncheng and Yao Dingyan couldn't get along, and he didn't see that Xie Zean and Yao Dingyan were separated.Xie Ze'an has always attached great importance to affection, how hard will it be for him after returning to Beijing?

At that time, he didn't care about Xie Ze'an, the two of them were close at hand, but they didn't even say a word.Yao Dingyan was originally his teacher, but he alienated him because of political differences. Xie Dalang got married, Xie Xiaomei proposed marriage, and the people around him married, married, and left Beijing...

Xie Ze'an was the same as him for half a year, there was no one around him who could get close to him.

Zhao Chongzhao's expression kept changing, and finally he hugged Xie Ze'an tighter and tighter: "Sanlang, I don't know anything, I don't know anything."

Xie Ze'an said: "It's all over." He turned his head and stared into Zhao Chongzhao's anxious eyes, "Aren't we doing well now?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "It's not good!" The more he imagined Xie Ze'an's mood for the past six months, the more he couldn't suppress the pain in his heart, "It's not good at all! San Lang, you are clearly suffering so hard, but I don't know anything. I've made things difficult for you again and again—"

Xie Ze'an lightly kissed Zhao Chongzhao's side face.

All Zhao Chongzhao's words were kissed back by Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an was still in his filial piety, Zhao Chongzhao resisted the urge to return to his relatives.He hugged Xie Ze'an for a while, and then said: "Sanlang, you must tell me in the future, you must tell me everything."

Xie Ze'an said, "I'm afraid you will find it annoying."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "How could I be annoyed!"

Xie Ze'an rubbed his hands together and said, "Okay then, let's talk about a small project related to a monk..."

Xie Ze'an briefly told about Beidi's plan.

Doesn’t Beidi believe in Buddhism? As a friendly country, we need to support it.We should actively send Buddhist talents to them like Taizu did. Those who don't want to farm land or pay taxes should all be sent to them to chant scriptures.We are now strong in printing and papermaking. How can we treat our friends badly? We must help them decisively and print a book of Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist meanings with our hands.

When believing in Buddhism, the most important thing is sincerity. What do you mean by sincerity?Of course, it is necessary to set a fixed activity day for three to five days every month. Everyone gathers together to worship seriously, listen to the eminent monks tell the past events, and comprehend the true meaning of Buddhism... It is naturally more sincere to donate some incense money!Don’t think that everyone who believes in Buddhism has to eat fast and chant Buddha is so boring. There are also many convenient services. If you don’t want to eat fast and chant Buddha, you can pay for someone to recite for you.Accumulating merit is even easier. Buy it to release a hundred or eighty turtles, koi, tigers and other creatures. Don’t ask me how the last one got in. I don’t know, I don’t know anything...

Zhao Chongzhao: "..."

This is clearly the absurd thing that Emperor Shengde has done!A little change of appearance, sending a few noisy people to muddy the water, no matter how you look at it, you can make Beidi go crazy...

Xie Ze'an simply explained the whole plan, and scolded with a face full of condemnation: "If you want me to say, this monk is really bad. Fortunately, he went to harm Beidi."

Zhao Chongzhao glanced at Xie Ze'an suspiciously, and couldn't help asking: "Then Xixia must be Commander Yan's idea?"

Xie Zean had a gratified expression of "children can be taught": "That's right, brother Yan is too bad."

Zhao Chongzhao asked vigilantly: "Sanlang, I haven't blamed you for anything, have I?"

Xie Ze'an glanced at him up and down, shook his head and said, "No."

Zhao Chongzhao was not happy, and said: "If you don't have it, you don't have it. What kind of eyes do you have?" It seems to be very disgusting!

Xie Ze'an said, "I don't have any eyes." He sighed, "I also want you to take the blame, but people won't believe me if I tell you."

Zhao Chongzhao was taken aback for a moment, then asked: "Why?"

Xie Ze'an patted Zhao Chongzhao's shoulder painfully: "If people are difficult, I will not tell you the truth..."

Zhao Chongzhao's face darkened: "Say it quickly!"

Xie Ze'an said: "It's nothing, I'm just praising you. Others will think that your majesty is such an upright, pure and kind person, how could you come up with such despicable, dirty and unscrupulous plans..."

Zhao Chongzhao said angrily: "I can hear it! You are calling me stupid! I am so stupid that no one will believe me if I say it!"

Xie Ze'an looked at Zhao Chongzhao in surprise: "You can understand this, Your Majesty, you are getting smarter."

Zhao Chongzhao: "..."
