Zhao Mo knew that his father Zhao Shuo didn't want to see him.

If he still remembered some old feelings and pity for his eldest son in the past, and because he had made a contribution to him, and gave birth to some love, since the prince returned to the court safely and he still contributed to it, these pity and love have all disappeared. In the eyes of his father Zhao Shuo, he Zhao Mo is just a sinner who has cut off his path to heaven.

Don't look at how high-sounding Zhao Shuo said in the letter he wrote to his family, praising him for making great contributions to the royal family, but from the eyes of the henchman sent by Zhao Shuo to deliver the letter, as well as the message conveyed by the henchman, Zhao Mo knew that his father was holding a knife in his heart, if he didn't have to care about the emperor and the prince, he was afraid that he would come and kill him with a knife earlier.

Zhao Mo could only smile bitterly at this. The father didn't see his situation clearly at all, and really thought that he was expected to become the imperial heir? How could the emperor let the daughter of the Wang family become the future crown princess and empress? As early as the day Zhao Shuo married Xiao Wang, his dream of being the heir of the emperor had already been cut off. He didn't know it yet, he just thought that he was really only one step away from the position of prince.

Zhao Mo thought to himself, the emperor and the crown prince were so kind to his father, not because he had thought about the position of the emperor's heir, was it related to the fact that he had contributed to protecting the prince's safe return to Beijing? Because he had a good relationship with the prince, the emperor and the prince loved the house and Wu? Huang Jincheng would occasionally transfer one or two letters from the prince to him, and Zhao Mo could sense the prince's kindness between the lines. But how could he confess these words to his father? I'm afraid that my father won't accept them at all, right?

He, the eldest son who didn't listen to his father everywhere and made a "big mistake" to cut off his father's future, was afraid that his father had already kicked out of the ranks of heir candidates. But...... Father Zhao Shuo's thoughts are one thing, and the actual approach is another. He Zhao Mo is the eldest son of Zhao Shuo, born with the first inheritance. As long as he has not made a mistake, even his biological father and ancestor cannot deprive him of his rights.

The royal inheritance may not be subject to this limitation, but the name of the successor of a prince's domain is not completely determined by the father and ancestor, otherwise there is no need for the step-concubine of the Liao King to go to great lengths to eradicate Zhao Shuo over the years. With the love of King Liao for her and the son she gave birth to, he would never cheapen the position of heir to the eldest son he didn't like.

As long as the imperial court insists, only the eldest son will inherit the throne of the prince of Liao, or even the throne of the king of Liao, then Zhao Shuo will not be able to deprive the eldest son of the inheritance right because of personal feelings. If he did this, then how could he, a son who was not loved by his father and only relied on the etiquette of the court to uphold the throne, could stand on the etiquette?

Therefore, when the Wang family came to the door to seek cooperation, even if Zhao Shuo repeatedly said that his eldest son had been exiled by him, and the future inheritance was the son of the Xiao Wang family, the Xiao Wang family still secretly sent someone to assassinate Zhao Mo. With Zhao Mo, the eldest son, standing in the way, no matter what Zhao Shuo said, Xiao Wang's family could not guarantee that his son would really become a unique heir. Zhao Shuo was influenced by the King of Liao, thinking that this kind of thing could really be decided by himself, but Xiao Wang's family grew up in Beijing, but he was not as optimistic as him.

But if Zhao Shuo was still a little naïve at the beginning, thinking that the inheritance could be decided by himself, then now that he has been in Beijing for a long time, he should also know the strictness of the court's etiquette, right? Zhao Jie, the son of the king of Jin, made a mistake and was imprisoned, and no longer had the right to inherit the throne, and the king of Jin and the sons of the two side concubines failed to take advantage of it, and were only arbitrarily awarded two titles of county kings by the court according to the treatment of the prince's concubine, instead of letting them replace the position of the prince of Jin and inherit the throne of the king of Jin. That's the right thing to do. If you want to replace it, you must at least be a son-in-law. However, the situation in the Liao Wangfu is different, Zhao Mo did not make a mistake, how can Zhao Shuo deprive him of his rights?

Could it be ...... Can tiger venom still eat seeds?

The most ideal situation is just to set a trap to calculate Zhao Mo, so that he loses his inheritance qualifications, and from then on he is reduced to an idle sect disciple. But how much affection can be left of the calculating son who is a father?

Zhao Mo's heart was cold, but he no longer felt sad. He had been through the same thing so much that he felt numb.

While Zhao Mo was pondering, Qin Hanzhen was not idle. She analyzed Zhao Mo's words and the content of the letter he handed her to him: "Xiao Wang's family is pregnant now, and I don't know if it's a man or a woman. The situation of the Wang family is very bad, and they may have sensed that the emperor and the crown prince are going to deal with them. Now if you can hold a thigh, you can hold a thigh, and you have to use any method. I think the Wang family proposed to cooperate with your father at this time, and it may also be a deal. Master Wang said that he would help your father's son to succeed the royal family, and he didn't expect that it would be the son of the little Wang family who was eventually succeeded, just ask him to inherit your father's family business. Let's not mention whether he meant what he said or whether it was just an expedient measure, but if he really arranged it this way, it would be better if your father could really become the father of the royal heir. ”

Zhao Shuo currently has two surviving sons, assuming that Xiao Wang's birth is also a son, that is the son-in-law, and it is also Zhao Shuo's third son. Which of the three sons is more suitable for adoption?

Zhao Mo, the eldest son, is now not treated by Zhao Shuo, even if he succeeds, he will not be able to bring any benefits to Zhao Shuo. With Zhao Shuo's personality and yearning for power, he should not choose the eldest son who is not the same heart as him. If you look at it from the standpoint of the royal side, Zhao Mo is also old. Although the relationship between the prince of the East Palace and Zhao Mo is very good, he usually wants to pass the heir, and he should give priority to picking the younger one, and the picture is easy to raise.

Zhao Shuo only said this thing about Qin Hanzhen's analysis: "I won't succeed." Although my father treated me unfairly, I still have to recognize my own mother. If I had become someone else's son, no one in the world would ever remember my mother. ”

Qin Hanzhen understood what he meant. Wen has been an outcast since the day she was abandoned by her husband. Whether it is her husband Zhao Shuo, or her mother-in-law, they all don't care about her anymore. If even Zhao Mo's biological son is lost, what traces can she leave in this world?

Qin Hanzhen continued to analyze.

Zhao Shuo's second son Zhao Qi, nicknamed Xiao San'er, was born to his concubine Lan Xue. Lan Xue was originally a maid of the Liao Palace, not a good family, because of her meritorious birth, she was promoted from Tongfang to her aunt, and this background could not be put on the stage. Now it is not discussing the heirs of ordinary clansmen, but saying that the prince of the East Palace wants to pass the heirs. It is very likely that this child will inherit the throne in the future! Could it be that the future emperor will be a child born to a girl in a room? But if there is any other choice in the clan, the royal family will never consider Zhao Qi!

The royal family has its own rules, even if there is something to record the concubine in the name of the concubine and become a trick of the concubine, the royal family will not sell it.

And the possible third son of Zhao Shuo who was not yet born, because his biological mother was Xiao Wang, Qin Hanzhen did not think that he would have a chance to succeed the royal family. If the emperor and the crown prince can endure these calculations of the royal family, then why should they dispose of them?

Analyzed in this way, except for Zhao Mo, Zhao Shuo has no son who can be passed on to the royal family. Which of the disciples did he do with the Wang family?

Zhao Mo said: "The Wang family also has a royal concubine in the palace, who seems to be liked by the Queen Mother." Among the harem concubines, only the princess had been pregnant twice, and one was born successfully, but she died not long after. As for the other one, he didn't give birth smoothly and had a miscarriage. Wang Concubine was greatly injured because of a miscarriage, and she never heard of her being pregnant. However, because she had a meritorious role in giving birth to a dragon species, her status in the palace was quite transcendent. Although the Wang family is likely to do bad things, they haven't heard about the princess. I estimate that even if the Wang family is really defeated, the princess should be fine in the palace. As long as she doesn't do anything that angers the emperor, the emperor is very kind to the old people around her. ”

Qin Hanzhen thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "Whether it's the princess, the other connections of the Wang family, these are the strengths that the Wang family has long had." Your father has been the son-in-law of his family for so long, and he should know it. But before he was able to decide to draw a line with the Wang family without care, and now he is willing to continue to cooperate with the Wang family, is it really just for the connections of the Wang concubine and the Wang family? I think that the Wang family may still be useful to him, but it shouldn't be too big, right?"

Zhao Mo muttered: "It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, as long as it can come in handy when it's critical." ”

"So...... I have an idea. Qin Hanzhen lowered his voice, approached Zhao Mo and said, "If your father, under the persuasion of Lord Wang, discovers the idea of being able to succeed the royal heir, but his current son is useless, then what will he do? I don't know if Xiao Wang's child is male or female, even if it is a son, it is estimated that the royal family will not look down on it. Therefore, he needs to have an identity that can be used, such as being the son of a grandson, and being able to listen to him, and be able to be seen by the royal family. If he has such a son, then as long as the prince is really determined to pass on his heir, he will naturally be taken into account. ”

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at her fixedly: "The prince has not recovered from his illness for a long time, and no one can say that he will not have an heir in the future, so it will take another five or six years to say that the matter of succession will be brought up by someone if the courtiers are sure that the prince has no heir." If there was already such an idea in the palace, it would be only natural for the prince to mention it in the future. With the royal concubine here, even if there was no such idea in the palace, it would be there slowly. You don't have to wait too long for this kind of thing, you can arrange it in advance. And after the princess finished doing this, it would have no effect. As for the protégé of the Wang family, after the Wang family lost power, they always had to find another force to take refuge. Since his father is a protégé of the Wang family, if he is introduced by Lord Wang, he will be able to smoothly accept these network forces. At that time, these people will become their father's people, and the Wang family will also have no effect. ”

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled: "When the Wang family has no effect, the little Wang family can almost leave." Considering the old mood of the Wang family, your father should not use such a drastic method of divorce from his wife, he only needs to let the little Wang family have a serious illness, and everything will be solved. ”

Zhao Mo sneered: "As soon as Xiao Wang's family dies and his father becomes a widower, he can naturally marry another famous lady as his step-family and have a few more sons-in-law." Calculate the time, and when the prince needs to pass the heir, those children are just at the right age, right? ”

As for Xiao Wang's family, isn't it pitiful? Didn't she replace Wen for similar reasons in the first place? Now being replaced by another woman is also a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unhappy.
