my wife is mulan

Chapter 956

Yuan Gao stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "That's natural. Your Highness must consider it carefully. This is a major event that concerns His Highness's life! It's getting late, and the old minister has disturbed His Highness's rest. Let me take my leave!"

Zhao Ping had a clear mind, and he said to Yuan Gaoxu, "I'm sorry to trouble my uncle, I'm grateful, I'll send you off to my uncle!"

After sending it to the gate, Yuan Gao turned around and stopped, cupping his hands: "It's very cold outside, Your Highness, please stay!"

Zhao Ping bowed: "Uncle, let's go!"

Yuan Gao's housekeeper, Wu Shizun, trotted to the side of the carriage and raised the curtain. The coachman took off the pedals and put them beside the carriage. Yuan Gao stepped on the pedals and entered the carriage. The housekeeper Wu Shizun also got into the carriage. The coachman put away the pedals, got into the carriage and held the whip drive away.

Looking at the carriage going far away, Zhao Ping's face gradually turned cold, and he shouted fiercely in his heart: "Good guy, every word of this old man hits people's hearts! Is he really doing it for me, or is there another purpose? ?

No, it would be fine if ordinary petty officials served me. Which prince in all dynasties did not have a few errands around him?But the court ministers are the pillars of the country, if they get too close to the princes, don't they worry about being jealous by their father?Now that the father and emperor are in their prime, who would dare to support the prince to seize the heir apparent at this time?Don't die? "

"Hiss——" Zhao Ping suddenly thought of a possibility. The purpose of Yuan Gao's arrival tonight was not for him at all, but for his sake. Until Zou Ruhai!

But why did Qu Liangbo and Yuan Gao do this?Could it be that Yuan Gao did it for self-protection, since he himself is at the helm of the chain of interests in the Heluo ink corruption case?

As soon as this idea appeared in Zhao Ping's mind, Zhao Ping was shocked into a cold sweat and couldn't get rid of it for a long time.

"Wei Butou once reported that after Baishan was arrested, Zou Ruhai went to the temple in the east of the city to meet Yuan Gao's housekeeper Wu Shizun. If this connection is made, Yuan Gao may really be the one who manipulated Zou Ruhai and the imperial envoy Pan Chang'an! No, I'm afraid Yuan Gao and Heluo's ink corruption case are also inseparable!"

"If Yuan Gao is related to the Heluo ink corruption case, as the emperor said, Zou Ruhai must have concealed something. It seems that Zou Ruhai will have to be tried again tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Ping practiced martial arts for half an hour, washed up, had breakfast, and then went to the palace to pay his respects.

When he arrived, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and several younger siblings were having breakfast.

Wan Yutong stood up and greeted: "Third brother, come and have breakfast!"

Zhao Ping hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you, aunt, Ping'er has had breakfast! Ping'er pays respects to father, aunt, and aunt!"

Wan Yutong smiled: "Look, weekday has grown up and is much more sensible!"

Hua Mulan was also very happy, and said with a smile, "Your child suddenly behaves like this, Auntie is really not used to it! Fourth, fifth, sixth, why don't you greet your third brother?"

The three little guys got up and saluted Zhao Pingping together: "I have seen the third brother!"

Zhao Ping said with a smile: "Okay, third brother will take you out to play when you are on holiday!"

The fourth child raised his eyebrows with joy: "That's a good relationship. Staying in this birdcage in the palace all day almost makes me sick!"

Hua Mulan tapped the fourth child on the head with her chopsticks, "If you don't beat me for three days, you still want to go to heaven? This is your home, the palace is so big, why can't you go? Why don't you say it's a bird cage and you're going to get sick Come on, okay, you go out of the palace, if you are kidnapped by human traffickers and sold to a coolie in the valley for a lifetime, you can cry!"

"Oh! It hurts!" The fourth child covered the place where he was beaten, and shouted, "Mother, if you beat your son like this again, your son will almost be beaten stupid by you!"

The fifth child and the sixth child covered their mouths and snickered, Wan Yutong laughed out of joy, "The fourth child is so funny!"

Hua Mulan said angrily: "It's better to be stupid, so I won't have to worry about it every day!"

The fourth child was unconvinced: "You are more worried if you are stupid. You have to piss and pee on me every day, and I won't bother you to death!"

"Giggle..." Wan Yutong, Lao Wu and Lao Liu couldn't stop laughing happily, Zhao Ping tried not to let himself laugh.

Zhao Junsheng coughed twice, "I'm still eating! Third, please sit down!"

Wan Yutong and the two younger ones stopped laughing, and Zhao Ping sat down in a seat with a promise.

Zhao Junsheng said: "The imperial palace is not small if you say it is big, but it is not big when you say it is big. The children grew up here and have been familiar with every inch of it for a long time. It is still necessary to let them go out often to experience the life of the common people. Life, staying in the palace all the time will only become flowers in the greenhouse, unable to withstand the wind and rain, I am afraid that they don't even know eggs, and they don't even know the whole grains! This will not work!

By the way, the Jingcheng Academy is about to be completed. When Yutong's canonization ceremony is completed, the Jingcheng Academy will start school. At that time, the fourth child will be sent to school with scholars from all over the world!Let the fifth and sixth children go to live in Huangzhuang outside the city for a few days every month, and let them get along with the children in the village. Children need playmates. What fun is there in being with you adults all day long? "

Wan Yutong said to Hua Mulan: "Sister, I think what your husband said makes sense. Although the children of the royal family are destined to be extraordinary from birth, we can't completely deprive them of their nature!"

Hua Mulan thought for a while and agreed: "Okay!"

Several little guys were overjoyed and clapped their little hands one after another.

Hua Mulan said to Zhao Ping: "Ping'er, An also invites you. If you have something to do, go and get busy. You don't need to stay here with us!"

Zhao Pingdao: "The son still has something to say to his father!"

Hua Mulan was a little jealous: "Hey, you are much closer to your father than to your mother, and you come to him every day these days!"

Zhao Junsheng gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun, laughed and said, "Why do I smell vinegar?"

Wan Yutong also smiled and said, "Sister, I also think that you are a little too jealous. If the third child doesn't get close to your husband, I'm afraid you will be anxious again!"

Zhao Junsheng gnawed the steamed stuffed bun, drank the corn porridge, wiped himself off, got up and left, and waved to Zhao Ping: "Your mother has been emotionally unstable these days, don't provoke her, let's go!"

Hua Mulan stomped her feet: "Zhao, don't come back at noon, and don't prepare your meal when you come back!"

Zhao Junsheng's voice came from outside the door: "It happens that I haven't been outside the palace for a long time, and it would be nice to have a meal in a restaurant outside!"

The father and son left the inner palace and walked towards the Qinzheng Hall.

Zhao Junsheng asked as he walked, "You just said something to tell Grandpa? What's the matter?"

Zhao Pingdao: "Uncle went to Erchen's house last night!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and said, "Is it your mother's uncle, your uncle, Taipu Siqing, Qu Liangbo and Yuan Gao?"

"Yes!"

"He and our family are also considered relatives. Isn't it normal for him to visit your house? Is there something wrong with you specifically talking about this matter?"

Zhao Pingdao: "He persuaded my son to stop investigating Heluo's ink corruption case, and stop investigating Zou Ruhai here, and don't continue the investigation!"

Zhao Junsheng was stunned when he heard that: "Did you arrest Zou Ruhai with great fanfare? How did he receive the news so quickly?"

Zhao Pingdao: "There was not much movement, but the arresters of the Imperial City Department took him away at the door of a tea house. At that time, he should have his servants by his side, and the arresters did not take his servants away with him. , the news must have been spread by his servants!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Why did he persuade you to give up investigating the Heluo corruption case?"

Zhao Ping hesitated for a moment, "My son...has an idea, but dare not say it!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at his son again, "Say, even if you say something wrong, Father will not blame you!"

"My son... I have a feeling that my uncle may be a link in the profit chain of the Heluo ink corruption case, or he is the one who manipulates Zou Ruhai and Pan Changan, and is probably the biggest behind-the-scenes figure!"

Zhao Junsheng's reaction was very calm. Yuan Gao's surfacing didn't shock him, but he thought that what shocked him was the way Yuan Gao, Zou Ruhai, Pan Chang'an and others used their power to cultivate trusted officials to make huge profits. .

Zhao Junsheng asked, "How did he persuade you?"

"He said that as a prince, the son should not be the vanguard in this kind of matter. This will make the courtiers respect the son and stay away. Once the son has something in the court, there is no one to intercede. ..."

Zhao Junsheng was stunned: "Yuan Gao has found a good entry point, and what he said is indeed reasonable!"
