was stretched out by Zhao Defang in broad daylight, Jiao Wanwan couldn't care about being shy, and tossed back and forth on Zhao Defang's body with both hands: "Are you injured?" Is there anything wrong with it? I don't know if I haven't slept all night, the whole person looks a lot haggard, Zhao Defang used to be like an orchid in full bloom, but now it looks like a flower that is short of water, listless, and the eyes are blue and black under the eye sockets.

Zhao Defang hurriedly reached out and pressed her wrist: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm not injured, and there's nothing uncomfortable, I'm really fine, why did you come back?" Didn't you go to Xijing? When did you come back? ”

"You still say! Did you know what was going to happen last night, so you sent me away first? Are you afraid that I will hold you back? Didn't you think that maybe I left the most dangerous thing, and I would encounter assassination or something on the way? Jiao Wanwan dragged people back to the house and said, "By the way, the horn sound just now is the news of martial law in the capital?" Why martial law? But what happened in the palace? ”

Zhao Defang pursed her lips, sat down and poured a cup of tea first, this is still the tea sent from the kitchen after Jiao Wanwan came back, she hasn't drunk it herself, and it's a little cold now. Zhao Defang didn't care, drank one cup and poured another, and drank three cups in a row before putting down the teacup and looking at Jiao Wanwan: "You met an assassination on the road?" ”

Jiao Wanwan nodded: "I don't know who it is, wearing black clothes, and there are no iconic things on it, and their looks are very ordinary, Hu Yong and they don't know each other, three times in a row, the target is me, but those people don't seem to be so smart, and then I used a fake corpse to fool me, and I even fooled the past." ”

"It may also be that they didn't want to kill you in the first place, but they had to do it because of the order, and then they had a corpse to deal with, so they stopped chasing you." Zhao Defang said expressionlessly, but Jiao Wanwan shook her head: "If that's the case, if I appear alive one day, won't their master be angry with them?" ”

"Maybe we won't be able to find anyone by then? These people may be temporarily following his orders. Zhao Defang pursed her lips, looked Jiao Wanwan up and down, and saw that she was not injured, so she sighed: "Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise, I am afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life." I didn't think about it properly, I just wanted to keep you away from the capital, but I didn't expect that someone would do something to your woman's house. ”

Jiao Wanwan waved her hand: "Let's not talk about me first, what happened in the palace?" But the second uncle ......"

Jiao Wanwan didn't finish speaking, Zhao Defang nodded silently, and then said in a low voice after a while: "My father and I didn't expect that the second uncle would be so impatient, he didn't even come back for three months, so he dared to make a move, and he ......was negligent for a while."

"Where's Daddy now?" Jiao Wanwan hurriedly asked, and Zhao Defang's eyes turned red: "Sudden emergency, it was ...... last night"

Jiao Wanwan felt like she had been struck by lightning, was it really Zhao Kuangyin who failed to save her life?

"What about the prince?" Jiao Wan hurriedly asked again, Zhao Defang exhaled slightly: "The crown prince is still very good, it's just that the second uncle has the Jinkui Covenant in his hand, I don't know when, one-third of the court is already the second uncle's manpower, this throne, I'm afraid it's the prince's place, it's going to hang." ”

After a pause, he said: "My mother has also fallen into the hands of my second uncle, if I act rashly, my mother will ...... there."

Jiao Wanwan didn't know what to say anymore, Zhao Kuangyin had a total of four brothers, the eldest died early, and only the two younger brothers Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Guangmei remained. In order to let her own son also enjoy this imperial power, Empress Dowager Du forced Zhao Kuangyin to make a golden covenant. Zhao Kuangyin's death, according to the Jinkui Covenant, is Zhao Guangyi's succession. Zhao Guangmei is not without thoughts in his heart, for his own interests, he has to support Zhao Guangyi.

And Empress Song is now in the hands of Zhao Guangyi, if Zhao Defang supports Zhao Dezhao, I am afraid that Empress Song will be able to "martyr" today. But if Zhao Defang supported Zhao Guangyi, he was only a second son, with the prince in front of him, if Zhao Guangyi still wanted to be famous, he would definitely not move him.

However, Zhao Dezhao is his own brother, and Zhao Guangyi is even angry with his father's murderer. But what about Empress Song?

Jiao Wanwan felt a headache just thinking about it, not to mention Zhao Defang, who couldn't wait to enter the palace by herself to replace Queen Song. He is not afraid of death, but he can't let his own mother die, and he doesn't want his brother to die in his place. But now, he is the last person who can't die.

"My mother has been managing the harem for decades, and she can't even send a message?" Jiao Wanwan asked, Zhao Defang's eyes were a little blank: "Now, the palace has been completely accused by Zhao Guangyi, and he has a golden covenant, even if he wants to convict him of rebellion, he can't be convicted." ”

There is support in the court to succeed to the throne, but Zhao Guangyi is also the concubine of Empress Dowager Du.

"Dad has been reigning for so many years, is there not even a single one in the palace who can save him?" Jiao Wanwan was speechless, originally she thought that Zhao Kuangyin was so tall and brave, and no one who could be the emperor was a mortal, but now, she suddenly felt that Zhao Kuangyin was simply a brainless person, knowing that her younger brother might rebel, the palace was not able to be rectified into an iron bucket, and it was easy for people to take it down, it was simply ...... It's a little incompetent.

"Dad is also a Ming Jun, the guards in the palace, it is impossible for all of them to defect to the second uncle, otherwise, contact those people to see if they can protect their mother first, and then, you let people move the rescuers, my father's place, and what generals does the prince have?" It's all called, inheriting the throne is such a thing, it has always been a person with the ability to speak, who is stronger and who is on the throne, even if the second uncle has a golden covenant, but the second brother of the prince is still the prince of his father's own title, and he is orthodox, so he naturally has the right to succeed to the throne......"

Jiao Wanwan frowned and said, but Zhao Defang waved his hand: "According to the Jinkui Covenant, the second uncle and third uncle have passed away, and this throne can still be returned to the second brother." "It's just a matter of time or time, and Zhao Guangyi also made this point very clear.

Therefore, even if you support orthodoxy, you have to admit that this Golden Kui Covenant is very thoughtful.

If you let people lead troops into the city, that is the real rebellion.

"Then let's watch the second uncle succeed to the throne?" Jiao Wanwan hated iron and steel, she used to think that Zhao Defang was a gentleman who was as gentle as jade, but now she feels that this temperament is really a bit too mother-in-law and mother, too gentleman. Can such a thing as the throne be treated by a gentleman? You're your life-or-death business!

"It's not that I'm alarmist, for the sake of the throne, the second uncle can even force his own eldest brother to death, once he gets the throne, can he still tolerate the second brother of the crown prince? It's Daddy, in the case of the Jinkui Covenant, he still set up the second brother as the crown prince, and wanted to pass the throne to his own son, do you think the second uncle will leave his own son alone and return the throne after a hundred years in the future? Lord, you yourself are a gentleman, but you can't think of others as a gentleman like you. What is this throne? It is the greatest temptation in the world, sitting on the throne, and the whole world is a subject. Sitting on this throne, enjoying the best things in the world, enjoying the whole world's bowing, such majesty, such power, who would be willing to let go? ”

"Throughout the ages, for the sake of the throne, no matter how good a person is, he will not do anything about it, is Tang Taizong a bad person? Didn't the establishment of our Great Song Dynasty also rely on means? Jiao Wanwan looked at Zhao Defang: "No matter how good the second uncle promises now, when he sits firmly on the throne, the first one to get rid of must be the third uncle, and then the second brother of the crown prince, and then, it will be your turn." ”

Zhao Defang's face was a little ugly, it was not that he didn't think of this, but he didn't want to think about it. As the second son, there is a very good second brother of the crown prince, whether it is Zhao Kuangyin or Queen Song, they don't plan to let their brothers fight to the death for this throne, so since childhood, Zhao Defang has learned the way of a gentleman. There is also Zhao Dezhao standing up to the outside, it can be said that Zhao Defang has never encountered anything particularly dirty since he was a child, let alone personally solve those dark things.

The first time he encountered this kind of thing, he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but with the lives of Zhao Dezhao and Queen Song hanging there, he wanted to choose to calm things and save everyone first.

As for whether the person who assured him could be trusted, he never dared to think about it.

Now, after being told thoroughly by Jiao Wanwan, Zhao Defang's face turned a little pale, and his posture was a little sluggish. But he is not the kind of man who is not responsible, the way of a gentleman is also to teach people to learn to take responsibility, a gentleman is not only open and bright, but also a gentleman must be brave and strategic. A gentleman has nine thoughts, a gentleman has four no's, and a gentleman is not a flower raised in a greenhouse, and he can't withstand the wind and rain at all.

"I see, you keep the house." Zhao Defang's eyes gradually became firm, patted the back of Jiao Wanwan's hand, and got up: "I have my own ideas about the affairs in this palace, and I can solve it soon, you don't have to worry." ”

As she spoke, she was about to get up, but Jiao Wanwan hurriedly dragged the person down: "What are you going to do?" Can you give me a thorough understanding first? In the palace, is there still a henchman of my father? The prince won't even have a few loyal subordinates after all these years, right? ”

"Naturally, there is, last night's incident, the second uncle only had a surprise advantage, and when it was really time to fight, the second uncle would not be so easy." Zhao Defang smiled reluctantly, stretched out his hand and rubbed Jiao Wanwan's hair: "You just have to stay in the mansion with peace of mind, the outside affairs, with me, when the affairs in this palace are resolved, I will take you to Guizhou, just the two of us, and don't care about the affairs in the capital." ”

Jiao Wanwan also smiled reluctantly, where can she not care, as long as there is this identity and this bloodline, no matter how far you hide, you will still be recovered, unless, you can hide overseas.
