Rebirth: I Raise a Husband in Another World
Chapter 340 Returning to Beijing
Huangfu Zuo came out this time to comfort the victims in Qingquan County and help rebuild Qingquan County.
Now that the matter is settled, it's natural for me to go back. If it weren't for the ambush on the way and the injury of the secret guard, who had to recuperate in Qinghe County, I should have reached the capital by now. Why would I have just set out?
Huangfu Zuo was in a carriage that was simple in appearance but luxurious and profound in interior. The carriage was very large and had a bed inside, which was big enough for Huangfu Zuo to lie down and sleep.
This bed is integrated with the interior of the carriage. Even if it encounters bumps, the bed will not move out of its original position and sway left and right in the carriage.
The carriage had been specially treated to absorb shock, making it much smoother on the road than the one Lin Han rented.
In addition, there are two fixed stools and a table in the carriage. On the table are several viewing plates and fruit plates filled with some exquisite pastries and seasonal fruits.
Huangfu Zuo was half lying on the bed, with his right fist supporting his temple, supporting his upper body slightly raised, his eyes slightly closed, quietly listening to An Yi's report of intelligence.
If Lin Han saw this scene, he would probably sigh and say that he is worthy of being a member of the royal family and knows how to enjoy life.
An Yi: "Your Highness, after my investigation, this ambush has nothing to do with the Qinghe County Magistrate.
He knew nothing about the matter. Apart from being a little timid, he was indeed a good official. He did not take sides and did not belong to any faction.
My subordinates are incompetent and have not yet been able to investigate the person behind this ambush.
However, all the evidence shows that this matter is closely related to the Fourth Prince and has some connection with the White Lotus Cult. As for the First Prince, it is still unclear."
Huangfu Zuo opened his eyes and raised his eyelids, "Well, the truth behind this ambush is very complicated. It's not easy for you to find out that it is related to the Fourth Prince. I will investigate the rest after returning to the capital.
I was ambushed that day and my life was in danger, which caused me to lose my mind. Now I think about it carefully.
I believe that this incident is closely related to my fourth brother. He thinks he is extremely smart, but in fact he is just a fool who doesn't know how to hide his thoughts.
Only he could do such an obvious frame-up. If it weren't for another group of people coming later to confuse the public, I would have already confirmed that it was him.
As for the eldest brother, he has always been upright and has no interest in the throne. This incident should have nothing to do with him.
However, the eldest prince's mother's family is the prime minister of the current dynasty. Even if the eldest prince has no intention of taking the throne, the imperial concubine and the prime minister will not give up easily.
I just don’t know if the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister were behind this incident.”
The current emperor is fifty-six years old this year. He has been on the throne for three years and has a total of ten princes and eight princesses.
The reason why he became emperor at such an old age was that the previous emperor had a way to prolong his life and died at the age of eighty-eight.
The current emperor endured the position of crown prince for twenty-five years before ascending the throne.
Among the ten princes and eight princesses, only the crown prince, the eighth prince and the third prince were born to the Empress Dowager. The eldest prince, the sixth prince, the eldest princess and the fourth princess were born to Concubine Shu.
The fourth prince and the eighth princess are born to Concubine Xian. Currently, only the crown prince, the eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince have reached adulthood. The oldest of the remaining princes is only thirteen years old.
The current empress is the daughter of the general who protects the country, named Liang Jingyan. The noble concubine Shu is the daughter of the prime minister, named Li Jingyi. The concubine Xian is the daughter of the minister of war, named Liu Weifang.
The Protector General and the Prime Minister were both of the first rank, so even though Concubine Shu's rank was lower than that of the Empress, she was never afraid of the Empress, and even felt jealous of her.
Before she got married, Concubine Shu secretly compared herself with the Queen, but of course she was no match for the Queen. The same was true after she got married, and Concubine Shu felt unfair.
It is obvious that both of their fathers are of the first rank, so why is she a noble concubine and Liang Jingyan the queen? Why should she be suppressed by Liang Jingyan after getting married?
Therefore, although Concubine Shu was devoted to fighting with the Queen, they were all minor fights that could not cause any trouble.
The birth of the eldest prince made Concubine Shu happy for a long time. She thought to herself: Liang Jingyan, look, I gave birth to a prince before you, so I won this round.
However, the current emperor had just ascended the throne when he appointed Huangfu Zuo as the crown prince. When Concubine Shu heard the news, she was almost angry to death.
Because the crown prince's status is higher than that of all other princes, before he was named the crown prince, Concubine Shu could still deceive herself and say that the eldest prince was the eldest son.
But Huangfu Zuo was named the crown prince, and Concubine Shu could no longer deceive herself.
Finally, Concubine Shu thought of the only way to overwhelm the queen, which was to support the eldest prince to ascend the throne.
So what if he is the crown prince? Humph, since ancient times, how many people have been able to ascend to the throne from the position of crown prince? Let’s wait and see!
This is what Concubine Shu thought in her heart.
Therefore, even if the eldest prince has no interest in the throne, Concubine Shu will fight for him behind the scenes.
It’s just that Concubine Shu’s IQ is not high enough, and the little tricks she does behind the scenes are always seen through by the Queen, thus saving her from danger.
The eldest prince is upright and straightforward. He likes to wield swords and guns but not to engage in literary pursuits. Asking him to study is like asking him to die.
He was self-aware and open-minded, knowing that he was not suitable to be emperor, so he rarely targeted Huangfu Zuo, and his relationship with Huangfu Zuo was actually quite good.
As for the third prince, he is a guy with low IQ, vicious mind, and coveting the throne.
He had neither the intelligence and kindness of Huangfu Zuo, nor the military talent of the eldest prince.
He is a man of many thoughts, but he can't hide them well. It's really ridiculous.
The horses pulling the carriage were of top quality, and the carriage was also of top quality. Within seven days, Huangfu Zuo arrived in the capital.
The first thing Huangfu Zuo did when he returned to Beijing was to report his work to the emperor, report the situation, and then file a complaint.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Huangfu Zuo bowed to the emperor, who looked indifferent, with a hint of a smile.
"Zuo'er is back. Did your trip go smoothly? Have the problems of the disaster victims been resolved?"
Huangfu Zuo stood and replied, "In reply to your father, the flood has affected many people. Your father cares about the people and has allocated sufficient disaster relief funds. The problems of the victims have been basically solved.
I was ambushed on my way back to Beijing. Fortunately, I brought enough people with me, otherwise your father would not have been able to see me.
I also found some badges on those people. I ask Your Majesty to investigate the situation and avenge me."
Huangfu Zuo's current appearance was not good at all. Although he was not sloppy and his clothes were clean, he looked listless and haggard.
Although the emperor had heard of it, he had not witnessed it with his own eyes. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was immediately furious.
With a sullen expression, he asked Huangfu Zuo to come forward and said, "Come forward and show me the things."
Huangfu Zuo stepped forward and placed two golden plaques on the emperor's desk. "Father, these are the two things. Two different groups of people attacked me."
The author has something to say: The author is not very good at writing this kind of intrigue drama. It does not mean that he is good at other things. He can only write it like this. You just have to bear with it and be gentle with your criticism.
