Gao Taotao has never been so grateful to Fan Ning as he is now. The words Cai'e brought back suddenly eliminated her guilt. Yes, what does it have to do with her being taken away?

It was Zhang Yaozuo who secretly sued the emperor, King Julu, for rebellion, and the evidence was conclusive. This was the fundamental reason why the emperor decided to deal with the prince.

I just want to protect my son from being implicated in this matter. Why do I take my husband's blame on me? What does this matter have to do with me?

If this matter is his own responsibility, then the prince should have been taken away last night.

But the emperor did not take any action last night, which means that he was not affected by himself at all.

The fundamental reason is that Zhang Yaozuo was harming the prince.

Gao Taotao's knots were all untied. She no longer felt guilty. Instead, she felt an indescribable ease and relief. At least she would no longer worry about her husband harming her son.

At this time, the maid reported at the door, "Eunuch Hong asked to see the princess!"

Eunuch Hong is named Hong Deyuan, the deputy general manager of the home, and has great power in the palace. Gao Taotao nodded, "Please invite him in!"

Soon, a middle-aged eunuch with a rich appearance walked into the room. When he entered the door, he kowtowed respectfully, "Old slave Hong Deyuan, see the princess!"

Gao Taotao said lightly: "Mr. Hong, we haven't seen each other for many years!"

"Yes! Almost fifteen or sixteen years."

"What's wrong with General Manager Hong looking for me?"

Hong Deyuan took out a small bag and placed it respectfully on the table. "There are three and a half jades in it, which are the prince's jade pendants. It is said that they can bring three thousand taels of gold. The villain dared to take it back to the princess."

If no one follows up on this matter, then the three thousand taels of gold will eventually enter the inner treasury. Obviously, Hong Deyuan seized this opportunity and returned the jade pendant to the princess, which was considered as taking the team in advance.

Gao Taotao glanced at the jade pendant and asked in a low voice: "What will happen to the prince?"

Hong Deyuan sighed, "I also heard from the palace maids who served the officials to have dinner. Zhang Yaozuo complained very seriously, saying that the prince colluded with the general and wanted to rebel. If it was true, the prince might be sad. The prince should be mentally prepared."

"What about my son!"

Gao Taotao asked again: "Will he be affected?"

Hong Deyuan said in his heart, "If the emperor's heir is affected, will I come again? This woman doesn't understand such an obvious thing."

"Please rest assured that the princess will not be affected by any influence. Although Zhang Yaozuo also accused the princesses together, the first thing the official did when he woke up was to instruct his subordinates to comfort the princess and let him not think about it."

Gao Taotao was indeed relieved. His prevention was effective and his son was not implicated.

"How is the situation of the emperor?"

Hong Deyuan looked back at the maid, Gao Taotao waved his hand, and the two maids retreated. Hong Deyuan then lowered his voice: "The imperial physician originally thought that the official could hold on for half a year, but now he dared not say this. He told me that it would be at most two or three months."

"I know that Manager Hong is very considerate and actually returned three thousand golds to me. I will remember it!"

Hong Deyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "It is the honor of the old slave to serve the princess. If the princess needs it, even if he instructs the old slave, as long as he can do it, he will never postpone it."

"I understand. If there is anything, I will trouble General Manager Hong."

Hong Deyuan stood up and said goodbye. Gao Taotao fiddled with three jade pendants and gradually fell into deep thought.

………

Zhao Zhen suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He moved a little. The two eunuchs immediately stepped forward to support him, "Your Majesty, are you going to get up at night?"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and asked weakly: "He... is still kneeling outside?"

A eunuch nodded, and Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Let him come in!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor will not let you worry."

"I know, I must handle this matter well, go quickly!"

The eunuch had to hurry out.

Outside Zhao Zhen's bedroom, Zhao Xu was still kneeling in front of the steps. He knelt at night until now, and tears had dried up on his face. He just wanted to ask the royal family to spare his father, and he would rather give up the throne and inherit the throne.

At this time, a eunuch gently supported him, "Your Highness, your Majesty let you in."

Zhao Xu stood up, lowered his head and followed the eunuch into the room. Zhao Zhen put on an outer robe and sat in front of the bed.

Zhao Xu stepped forward and knelt down, "The emperor's grandfather..."

"Come here!"

Zhao Xu used his knees as a step and climbed in front of Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard. Then he coughed violently and curled up all over.

Zhao Xu covered his face and cried, "The grandson deserves to die, and the grandson should not disturb the emperor and grandfather's recovery."

Zhao Zhen finally stopped coughing, slowly sat up, pointed at Zhao Xu and said, "You useless thing, I will give you the great Song Dynasty. You are like a woman. Tell me, no!"

Zhao Zhen turned around and ordered the eunuch to say, "Get all the signs for the mourning hall in the side shop!"

Two eunuchs ran away and took back three spirit cards in a moment, and placed them on the small table next to them. The names of Song Gaozu, Song Taizong, and Song Zhenzong were the names of Song Gaozu.

Zhao Zhen pointed to the Lingpai and asked Zhao Xu, "Tell me in front of my ancestors, is it important for the country of the Song Dynasty, or is it important for your father?"

Zhao Xu looked at the spirit card, finally lowered his head and whispered: "The country of the Great Song Dynasty is important!"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Since you understand this, I will tell you that the reason why I don't tolerate your father is not that he wants to seize my throne, but that he wants to seize your throne, for the great Song and the eternal country. Even if you hate me again, even if you dig my tomb in the future, I will still not forgive him. Get out! I don't want to explain anymore."

A eunuch supported Zhao Xu and whispered: "Don't make Your Majesty angry anymore, go quickly!"

Zhao Xu was helpless and had to kneel down and kowtowed, get up and leave.

Zhao Zhen looked at him walking away and sighed softly, "I hope this matter can make him mature completely!"

...........

Zhao Xu walked out of the bedroom and suddenly lay down at the bridge and cried bitterly. At this time, the eunuch deputy general manager Hong Deyuan appeared in front of him and looked at him quietly.

After a while, Zhao Xu wiped away his tears and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Hong?"

Hong Deyuan handed him a roll of paper, "This is a copy of the confession of the three generals. You can take it and look at it, and then you will understand."

Zhao Xu nodded, took the paper roll and turned around and left. At this time, Hong Deyuan suddenly said: "I saw your mother this afternoon, and she has accepted the reality."

Zhao Xu was shocked, "Did your mother understand?"

"The princess said she had advised your father again and again, but your father refused to listen and insisted on his own. So your mother had known this result for a long time. She accepted the reality calmly, and she just hopes you are safe."

Zhao Xu nodded silently, turned around and quickly left the palace.

...........

It gradually reached mid-December. The East Palace had been in discussions for more than three months, but it was not smooth and was always facing the collision of various contradictions and ideas.

In mid-December, the Overseas Economic and Political Administration proposed to migrate another 40,000 people to Ryukyu Prefecture to start the construction of a new government. This application caused an uproar within the court, and Zhizhengtang firmly opposed this plan that was exhausting the people and hurt money.

However, this plan was supported by the Eastern Palace discussion. Fanning, the Eastern Palace Secretary, believed that the Ryukyu Mansion could not open up for many years. On the one hand, the popularity of the imperial court decreased, and on the other hand, there were too few migratory people. It only moved 15,000 people in more than ten years, but it was not as capable of recruiting Japanese labor like Kunzhou, so of course it was slow to develop.

In the short term, the expenditure on developing the Ryukyu Prefecture is indeed much greater than the gains, but from the history of decades or even hundreds of years, the development of the Ryukyu Prefecture is definitely a great achievement.

Fan Ning exaggerated the future very well, but did not convince the prime ministers of Zhizhengtang. He finally persuaded Wen Yanbo and Han Jiang to pass the immigration plan, but was unanimously rejected in Zhizhengtang.

Even Zhao Xu supported Fanning's plan, it was useless. Han Qi even warned Fanning's willful behavior for the first time for the first time.

At this moment, the condition of the emperor Zhao Zhen showed signs of worsening, and he often fell into a coma. He was unconscious for several days. Because he was often in a coma, Zhao Zhen's memory began to decline seriously. He could not even recognize the ministers and forgot who he was?
