Little emperor

Chapter 65

Zhao Wang rode his horse and slowly passed by the busy city, feeling as if he had been in another world.

"Your Highness, should we go to the palace first, or go to see the Prime Minister first?" Left and Right asked him.

Zhao Wang didn't seem to hear, staring at a shop, he suddenly smiled.

"Your Highness?" Left and right were puzzled, Zhao Wang smiled so naturally, did he see something interesting?

Pulling the reins, King Zhao got off his horse and handed the reins to his followers.Without speaking, he walked towards the shop.

"Your Highness!" Grabbing the reins left and right, he followed King Zhao.

Zhao Wang went through the crowd and walked into the shop.

Pulling the horse left and right, it was inconvenient to move in the crowd. Seeing that King Zhao was gone, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Hey! What's the matter with this man! If you want to buy pastries, go to the back and line up! Don't jump in line!" Some women stared at King Zhao displeased.

Zhao Wang walked up to a person who had just bought pastries, took out a gold ingot, and said, "Give me the pastries."

The other party was shocked, and stared at Zhao Wang with the eyes of a fool.Although the pastry tastes good, it's not worth buying it with gold, right?This person is probably out of his mind!

Zhao Wang reached out and took away the other party's cakes, and gave the other party gold.Then turn around and leave.

This operation shocked the people around.

"Is that man a fool?"

"That's right! You actually used gold to buy cakes!"

"I've heard that some swindlers will spend money to steal your things like this. Before you warm up the money, the relatives and friends of the other party will come to sue you for defrauding their idiot! I can only admit that it is bad luck! Could it be that the person just now is this kind of charlatan?"

The person holding the gold shuddered, and when he realized it, his expression changed, and he immediately chased in the direction where King Zhao left.

"Give me back the pastry!"

Zhao Wang walked quickly, came to the left and right, opened the oil paper, took a piece of pastry and ate it.

Left and right opened their mouths and asked curiously, "Did Your Highness just go to buy this?"

Although King Zhao is ruthless and vicious, he loves food very much.

Zhao Wang didn't respond to his subordinates, took a bite of the pastry, the smile on his face faded suddenly, and the joy in his eyes disappeared.

"The taste has changed."

The pastries of this shop have been praised by Emperor Dewen.When King Zhao was young, whenever he had the opportunity to go out of the palace, he would definitely come and eat his fill.The pastries in this shop were really delicious.So much so that after leaving the capital, Zhao Wang has been missing him all these years.

After more than ten years, the pastries in this shop have finally changed their taste.It was no longer his favorite taste.Zhao Wang was naturally a little disappointed.

"Could it be that the merchant has changed? The cook? The recipe?" Seeing Zhao Wang's expression, left and right were a little scared.Every time King Zhao showed this look, it meant someone was going to die.

Zhao Wang frowned slightly, turned around and went back.

"Your Highness!" Left and right sighed.

When King Zhao returned, he happened to meet the man who was chasing him.

The other party grabbed Zhao Wang and said, "Return the pastry to me, and the gold to you!"

King Zhao threw the remaining cakes to the other party, glanced at him coldly and contemptuously, and took the gold back.

"What a weirdo!" The other party was uncomfortable being watched by King Zhao, and he felt like being wrapped around a cold poisonous snake, which made him chill.After finishing speaking, leave here quickly.

Returning to the pastry shop, the people who were in line just now saw King Zhao, and looked at him curiously and presumptuously.

Seeing King Zhao come to the front, no one said anything about him this time.

"This distinguished guest, please go to the back and line up." The store clerk talked to Zhao Wang with a smile.

Zhao Wangyi asked gently: "Excuse me, is Old Man Hua here?"

The other party asked suspiciously: "Your guest, do you know my nephew?"

Zhao Wang replied with a smile: "In the early years, I often came to eat pastries made by him. Is he here?"

The other party told Zhao Wang: "The old man passed away five years ago. Now the shop is managed by my uncle, and I am here to help with things."

The smile on his face faded, Zhao Wang sighed and said: "I have been away from Beijing for more than ten years, and I have missed a lot."

"The accent of the distinguished guest is not like that of a person from the capital!" The other party joked with a smile.

Zhao Wang's eyes were cold, with a smirk on his face, he smiled and didn't speak.

"Guests stay here! Would you like to try the current pastries?" Seeing that King Zhao was about to leave, the other party called him back.

"No need." Zhao Wang left here without looking back.

"Your Highness." Left and right secretly observed King Zhao's expression.

"Since this shop can't make the cakes with the taste that this king misses, there is no need to stay in this world." After speaking indifferently, King Zhao took the reins and got on his horse.

Looking back at the shop left and right, he responded to Zhao Wang: "This subordinate understands!"

After walking for a while, the left and right couldn't help but asked the question again: "Your Highness, should I go to the palace first, or go to see the prime minister first?"

"Go to Taifu's mansion." King Zhao wanted to see what attitude Taifu Li, the old fox, had towards his sudden return to Beijing.

"Yes!"

Of course, Taifu Li also received the news that King Zhao had entered Beijing.He felt that King Zhao would definitely go to see Zhao Youxiang first.Unexpectedly, people in the mansion sent news that King Zhao had arrived at his house!

With a sullen face, Li Taifu immediately went back to the mansion to meet him.

Striding into the house and coming to the main hall, Mrs. Li saw a middle-aged man with dark skin.

When King Zhao was in the capital in the past, he had thin skin and tender flesh, and looked like a scholar, fair and handsome.Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of absence, after going to northern Xinjiang, King Zhao became a tough guy with rough skin, exuding a cold evil spirit.

"I haven't seen you for many years. How is Taifu?" King Zhao got up and looked at Li Taifu with a smile on his face.

More than ten years have passed, and the appearance of this old guy is still the same as when he left the capital, without any change.And how much suffering and suffering did he suffer when he was sent to northern Xinjiang?

Is northern Xinjiang a place for people?The climate there is harsh, with frequent wind and sand, and it is difficult to even grow some vegetables!Zhao Wang has to spend a lot of time trying to eat fresh fruits and vegetables!Why should he endure hardships in northern Xinjiang, these people can enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital!

Mrs. Li said indifferently: "Thank you for His Highness Zhao Wang's concern, the old man is in good health. On the contrary, His Royal Highness Zhao, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, it's been a long time."

King Zhao's smile remained undiminished, and he responded without changing his face: "The weather in northern Xinjiang is bad, and there is often wind and sand over there. People living there are all like this."

"What His Highness King Zhao said, is he complaining about the former emperor sending His Highness to the northern border?" Taifu Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhao Wang paused for a moment with a smile. This old guy surnamed Li is still as disgusting as before. He speaks indifferently and sharply, and doesn't give any face to the royal family!

I don't know if this old guy surnamed Li has the same attitude towards King Wen?

King Zhao narrowed his eyes, staring at Mrs. Li with deep and unpredictable eyes.

"The Grand Tutor was joking. I was ordered to guard the northern border, so naturally I have no complaints. I just regret that when my brother was assassinated, I didn't have a chance to protect him. I couldn't even participate in the burial of my brother. This king If you have any doubts, please ask the Taifu to answer. The burial of the emperor's brother is such an important matter, why didn't the court notify the king?"

Why didn't I inform you that I have no points?

Taifu Li stared at him coldly, and said indifferently: "Back then, in the meeting room, several of us discussed which clans to choose to help His Majesty carry the former emperor's Zigong into the underground palace. You Xiang and Song Shangshu proposed that His Royal Highness King Zhao I came to Beijing to help. At that time, the old man did not object. The court sent a message to the four vassal kings, inviting them to come to the capital. Among the four vassal kings, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, but His Royal Highness Zhao Wang has not entered Beijing."

Zhao Wang maintained a gentle expression, but the hand behind him was secretly clenched into a fist.

No wonder Zhao Youxiang's letter was sent to Northern Xinjiang after Emperor Hui was buried.Zhao Wang thought that Zhao Youxiang didn't plan to use him anymore.It seems that Zhao Youxiang wanted to use him from the beginning and invited him to the capital while Emperor Hui was buried.However, the news sent by the imperial court was intercepted by King Wen's party!Therefore, he did not receive the news!Obviously he could have come to the capital earlier!But he was deliberately blocked by someone, and he didn't come to the capital until now!

The more you think about it, the more hatred King Zhao has for King Wen.

Taifu Li asked Zhao Wang: "Why did His Royal Highness Zhao come to the capital now?"

King Zhao's complexion changed, and he sighed, "To be honest, I haven't received the news. And last month, I was assassinated once, and the dog was injured in order to save me."

Hearing this, Taifu Li frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Can His Highness Zhao Wang elaborate?"

So, Zhao Wang began to make up random things.

At the end, he asked Taifu Li solemnly: "Teacher, I heard that King Wen has come to court?"

After listening, Taifu Li said with a half-smile, "So His Royal Highness Zhao suspects that His Royal Highness Wen Wang sent someone to assassinate you? Although everyone says that His Highness Wen Wang has ambitions, he has never done anything beyond that."

King Zhao asked in displeasure: "Isn't it a transgression for the vassal king to go to court?"

He was able to go to court to participate in political affairs in the past because of the permission of Emperor Hui!Why can King Wen appear in the court!It is a dream that a person with impure blood dares to think about the throne of Da Zhou!

Taifu Li told Zhao Wang calmly: "Your Majesty allowed King Wen to go to court. Although King Wen went to court, he did not discuss politics."

Zhao Wang sneered, obviously not believing it.Said to Li Taifu: "This king wants to go to the palace to see His Majesty and ask clearly!"

Mrs. Li nodded and made a gesture: "I won't see you off, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang will go slowly."

"Teacher is still the same as before. I don't know if he treats King Wen in the same way?" When Zhao Wang came to Taifu Li, he stopped, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he stared at Taifu Li closely.

Li Taifu's expression was indifferent, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face.

After waiting for a while, he saw that the other party did not intend to respond to him.Zhao Wang shook his head and left Li's house.

Walking out of Li's house, he asked in low voices from left to right: "Your Highness, what does the Tai Tuo mean?"

King Zhao glanced at his subordinates coldly, but did not answer.

The expressions on the left and right froze for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly, not daring to ask any more questions.

Zhao Wang rode his horse towards the direction of the palace.
