Chapter 035 The Current Situation (1)
Shao Shuhuan suddenly looked up and saw Shao She looking at him. He remembered something he seemed to ask just now, and said hurriedly: "What did the master ask just now? I'm a little confused recently."
"Oh..." Shao She was stunned, and he felt suspicious. Is this confused? Is it because he pretended to be confused? But he still smiled, "I'll ask you what to eat for dinner. I'll let the kitchen prepare it for you."
"Can you do whatever you want?" Shao Shuhuan smiled indifferently.
"This..." Shao She chuckled, "It must be something in the house."
Shao Shuhuan thought about it, then thought about it, but he didn't want to eat anything. He had never cared about it when he was at home, but now he missed the five-spice meat made by his mother and said, "Is five-spice meat okay?"
"Why did you suddenly want to eat this?" Shao She asked with a smile.
"I just want to eat!" Shao Shuhuan smiled.
"Nothing else?" Shao She asked again.
"Master is very idle today?" Shao Shuhuan changed the topic and didn't want to say anything to him on the food. He couldn't tell him that he wanted to eat five-spice meat because he missed home.
"What do you want to say?" Shao She asked.
"King An..." Shao Shuhuan saw that Feifei, Mianmian, and Xing'er were not in the room, so he asked, "Do he have any children?"
"So it's not confused yet!" Shao She sneered, "What do you think?"
"He has children, so he will not be a prince with peace of mind! Have you really forgotten everything before?" Shao She asked tentatively.
"I don't remember anything..." Shao Shuhuan said, pounding his head and shook his head, "If I hadn't seen you in Prince An's Mansion, I'm afraid I wouldn't even recognize you when I saw you."
Shao She held his hand, sighed softly, and said for a while: "If you forget, forget it, there is nothing wrong with it! Everyone in the capital knows that King An has no descendants, and even Princess Mu Lian is not the daughter of Prince An's biological daughter."
"Ah?" Shao Shuhuan was stunned. Even Mu Lian was not the daughter of King An?
"Now, people in the capital are talking privately, saying that King An killed too much in the early years, so God punished him to lose his sons and grandsons. Mu Lian was the youngest daughter of King Ning. At that time, King Ning committed a crime and was ordered by the empress dowager to be beaten to death in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Their two daughters, Mu Hua, were adopted by His Majesty, and Mu Lian was adopted by King An, who had always suffered from having no children." Shao She explained lightly.
"King Ning?" Shao Shuhuan was full of suspicion. A prince actually said that he would be beaten to death. Although Shao She said it was lightly, it shocked him even more. For those in power who hold the power of life and death, it was really easy to kill someone. If a prince, that is, the empress dowager, can be beaten to death in one sentence?
However, what shocked him even more was that if King An had never had any children, there would naturally be no such thing as letting him pretend to be his deceased child and tricking Concubine An to be happy.
"So he actually lied to me?" Shao Shuhuan said with a wry smile.
"Not necessarily!" Shao She sneered, "He missed his son crazy, and it was normal for him to act crazy. If he looked for you, you would continue to pretend that he didn't know and help him continue to act this drama."
Shao Shuhuan smiled bitterly, what's the matter? But, thinking about it, at the age of King An, if he had no children, he would probably not have children in the future. He is a dignified prince but has no children. No wonder he is anxious, but the question is, why did he come to him?
"What are you thinking?" Shao She asked when he saw Shao Shuhuan silent for a long time.
Shao Shuhuan thought about it and asked directly: "Why did he look for me?"
Regarding this question, Shao She said lightly: "You have always been smart, and you will understand it after thinking about it. He looks down on ordinary people's children. Some of them have basic family business, and they are familiar faces all over the capital. What he wants to deceive is not the Concubine An of his family, but... the master above must also find a handsome and talented person. Everything about you meets his conditions very well. You are a concubine. If he forces me with his power, I will have no choice. In this way, it won't take long to arrange for you to enter the official career and become his pawn."
"Oh?" Shao Shuhuan just agreed indecisively. King An may have ulterior motives, but the cheap dad in front of him may not have any kindness.
He slapped him in the palace of Prince An, and it was obvious that he was slapped him.
It was just a coincidence that he accidentally became a chess piece for power between King An and Shao’s family. Shao Shuhuan thought about it carefully and felt that it should be no mistake, although he didn’t know what his chess piece had at the moment. So now his cheap father will no longer allow him to be bullied by his legitimate wife, so he will protect him everywhere...
Otherwise, if King An had not been in trouble, he would probably not have looked at him even if he died outside. But King An came to him because he was the son of the Prime Minister and his status was sufficient.
"Master—" Shao Shuhuan suddenly shouted, "You just said that King An committed more murderous crimes in the early years, but why?" He had to understand this messy situation. The best way was to ask Shao She.
The premier, looking at the political situation of the government in the world, should be more clear. Although he has been in the An Palace for a few days, An is certainly very good to him and his material life is unconditionally satisfying him, but he never talks about the current situation of the government.
When Concubine An saw him, she kept calling him "Baby Heart", but she didn't say anything else, either asking him to listen to books and watch operas or ask about his well-being.
When Shao She saw the question, he thought for a while and finally said: "Eighteen years ago, the former Yin Kingdom suddenly invaded the borders of our Great Zhou Kingdom. His Majesty ascended the throne and ordered General Zheng Kai to go on an expedition. However, General Zheng Kai was already old and nearly 70 years old. In the battle of Hei Shui, General Zheng accidentally fell into the trap of the enemy and was killed on the spot. Our army's 200,000 troops were trapped in the eastward flow of Hei Shui..."
When Shao She said this, he paused and raised his head. At that time... he was not the prime minister, but the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.
"As General Zheng died, there will be no more powerful generals in our country. Your uncle was the Minister of War at that time. He followed General Zheng to fight. After General Zheng was killed, a 200,000 army was trapped. In desperation, he ordered a central army to break through the siege overnight, trying to break through the siege. However, the leader of the other side was Murphy." Shao She's face changed slightly when he mentioned Murphy.
"Who is Murphy?" Shao Shuhuan asked.
"Murphy's nickname is Mo Zhan, known as the God of War, has an unknown identity. He came out of the mountain at the age of 18 and entered the army step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step, leading troops for ten years, and has never been defeated." Shao She explained.
When Shao Shuhuan heard this, he was not only slightly moved, but no wonder such a powerful general...
