"Emperor Zhao is suspicious by nature, two generations have passed, and there are countless heroes who have died at his hands, and now it is time to establish a prince, what kind of prince to choose is not only very important for the future of the Great Zhou, but also very important for the survival of you and me."

When Gu Zhicheng was groaning, Han Ji continued, "The King of Chu is treacherous and has no talent, and King Zheng has some ability, but he is too gloomy.

"Further comparison, Yang Shufei's maiden family has not produced any sages, and the Yang brothers made their fortunes purely by nepotism. King Zheng has a queen pressing on the top of his head, and the relationship between the queen and me and several other families has broken down, and in the coming day, King Zheng will take the throne, and the queen will inevitably follow the example of Empress Lu to kill us and others.

In addition to these, although the two kings of Chu and Zheng Wang are constantly fighting, but if you look carefully, they are only for their own interests, and their starting position has never stood on the people's society, after these two people take the throne, the situation will inevitably not be very optimistic.

"If the next monarch is not right, this country will inevitably not be stable for a few years, and it will set off a bloody storm. From the previous dynasty to the present, more than 20 years of war, the people of the world are not living, these more than ten years relying on the cabinet of several elders to control the government, only then did it show the opportunity to regenerate, if there is another turmoil, the northern Mongolian army will inevitably take advantage of the weakness to enter.

"At that time, the Central Plains will have internal and external troubles in the world, and the scenery will be reproduced in various places, not to mention for the time being, I am afraid that even the rivers and mountains may fall into the hands of the barbarians. This country was fought down by our ancestors with flesh and blood, could it be that the war has subsided. Let go of Manan Mountain, will we ignore its future and fate from now on, and let the descendants of the Zhao family wantonly trample on the world that you and my ancestors have personally defeated? ”

Gu Zhicheng was stunned for a long time, then sat down on the chair.

He understands what he said, but it is really not as deep and thorough as he thinks, speaking of the years of the southern and northern wars, everywhere he went was full of barren bones, countless brothers died on the way to the north, their glory was actually built by their flesh and blood, and the Great Zhou was the world of every one of them who had paid blood and sweat. They have a duty to defend it.

But all these years. Because the long-term campaign finally stopped, and because of the general ethics of the monarch as a minister, they gradually succumbed to reality invisibly, knowing that the future of the Great Zhou was worrying. also knows that no matter how passive you wait, the only thing you can get in hand is compromise and submission. But it's still in the process of disappearing.

The only little effort made. It was only when I was forced to think of interfering in the matter of establishing a reserve to change the deteriorating status quo.

In front of this young man, he felt a little embarrassed for the first time.

He looked up and stared at him, "What do you think?" ”

Han Ji walked up to him and stood still. He said slowly: "Who to choose to be the prince is not the emperor's business alone, this matter is closely related to us, if we want to keep this wealth and wealth, we can only choose a candidate for ourselves who can keep the hard work of our ancestors, this is not only responsible for ourselves, but also responsible for the world."

"Zhao Jun is not a few years younger than his eldest brother, he also came with the army in the past, and he was influenced by the Jiangnan Shi clan, and his heart is more upright, if he must choose a prince among the descendants of the Zhao family, I think Zhao Jun is more suitable than the rest."

"Do you want the deposed prince to be reinstated?"

Gu Zhicheng stood up in surprise, "You went to Biling Palace to find Zhao Jun to discuss the comeback?" ”

"That's not that far." Han Ji said: "This time I just went to the bottom. ”

"But Zhao Jun is already crazy!" Gu Zhicheng frowned: "A madman, no matter how virtuous he is, how can he rule the world?" ”

"I don't think he's necessarily crazy." Han Ji looked at an acacia tree outside the window, "And, even if he is crazy, doesn't he still have children?" ”

"Heirs? Where did he come from? Gu Zhicheng was even more puzzled, "His eldest son and second son have all died of illness in the cold palace, and the princess who was born to the crown princess was also strangled to death by him after birth, it is said that now the crown princess can't get close to him at all, and getting close is punching and kicking, so how can there be heirs?" ”

Han Ji let out a long breath, turned around and said, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I won't believe it." When Tao Xing handed out the note to test them, the crown princess not only approached him, but also showed him the note, and now the eldest brother thinks, will things still be what we heard before? ”

Gu Zhicheng's brows furrowed violently.

Han Ji raised his lips and said again: "Since the facts we have investigated are different from what we heard, then we also have reason to suspect that the child born to the crown princess is not dead, not only is it not dead, but it is likely to be a boy." ”

"Where does this begin?" Gu Zhicheng was frightened too much, and he was much calmer when he heard this.

Han Ji said: "Just imagine, since Zhao Jun is not crazy, then the child born by the crown princess will never be strangled to death with his own hands, does he have to disguise himself by mutilating flesh and blood?" Especially since he has already lost two sons in succession. And since he didn't kill, why make up such a lie? ”

Gu Zhicheng took a breath of cold air: "Because you're afraid of being killed?" Want to leave an heir for himself? ”

"From ancient times to the present, few deposed princes have had a good end, not to mention that when the emperor was so taboo about the comeback of King Chen's party, Zhao Jun still risked his life to avenge his grievances. He was just too kind, and he wasn't stupid, and of course he would have thought that in that environment, there would inevitably be people who hated to cut it down.

"And although the queen's power has not fallen, she can no longer have anything to do with the cold palace, if someone wants to attack the cold palace, there are many opportunities. That's why Zhao Jun pretended to be crazy first, and then pretended to strangle the child to keep his third son. ”

Han Ji looked at him and said leisurely.

Gu Zhicheng finally couldn't suppress his surprise and said, "What about the whereabouts of that child?" ”

"It's not clear." Han Ji shook his head, "I'm just guessing now, so naturally I can't know my whereabouts." However, if this speculation is true, at least it means that Zhao Jun still has helpers in the palace, otherwise it will be difficult for him to succeed. ”

"Could it be the Queen?" Gu Zhicheng said, "The queen is his mother, and it stands to reason that only she is the most trustworthy." After speaking, he frowned again and said: "But if the relationship between Zhao Jun and the queen is so close, then even if Zhao Jun is not crazy, let him be the prince back, wouldn't the queen be a hidden danger to us?" ”

"It's hard to say." Han Ji said, "But I don't think the queen is very likely, if the queen knows that Zhao Jun is not crazy, she can't go all out to push King Zheng to the throne, in fact, judging from the recent appearances of the queen's mother and son, the relationship between them is not very good, but even so, the queen is still helping him, and she can only do so after the queen dies to Zhao Jun." ”

"Are you saying that the person Zhao Jun trusts is not the queen yet?" Gu Zhicheng was shocked. "Doesn't this mean that the relationship between the queen and her own son is not good?"

"There's nothing surprising about that." Han Ji said lightly, "King Chen's contribution to the Great Zhou is not lost to anyone, he is dead, and he died at the hands of his trusted brother, I don't believe that so many people in the Manchu Dynasty at that time would believe such a clumsy excuse given by the Zhao family, if King Chen had the intention of usurping the throne, why did he let Xian retreat to Jiangnan in the first place?"

But how many of the people who fought with him at that time dared to stand up for him? Those who only stood up died, and the rest chose to shut up for fear of being implicated. Not to mention whether Zhao Jun's outspoken admonition is inappropriate, just saying that his courage is already admirable.

"Zhao Jun is benevolent and knows right and wrong, while the queen is bent on selfish desires, such two people will inevitably have contradictions and conflicts, plus he didn't have many days by the queen's side when he was a child, so it is reasonable that he will choose another reliable person to trust."

When Gu Zhicheng heard this, he couldn't help but nod when he recalled the time he spent with Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun was the prince they recognized at the beginning, and he had a very good relationship with King Chen's sons when he was young, so it is not surprising that he would choke his hands for the old and young of King Chen's mansion.

But it was still unexpected that he directly admonished the emperor in that way, and everyone thought that even if he wanted to admonish, he should choose a relatively sleek way, so his abolition also made people have the same sigh as if they looked at Chen Wangfu afterwards.

If he is not crazy, it is best to be able to come out and take charge, but if he wants to do this, the difficulties in the middle can be imagined.

First of all, the fact that he is not crazy must be announced in a safe way, and then let him come out of the cold palace in a reasonable manner, and then how to let him have the capital to compete for the storage position. It's easy to say, but each of them is very dangerous.

And what made him even more incredible was that Han Ji had quietly and silently studied Zhao Jun's background thoroughly!

"What's your solution?" He asked softly.

When Han Ji heard him ask, he knew that he had been convinced, so he said: "No matter what, Zhao Jun was deposed because of King Chen, so before doing a thing, the most critical step is to rehabilitate King Chen." Only if King Chen is rehabilitated, Zhao Jun will be acquitted, so that he has the possibility of competing for the throne in name only. ”

Hearing the sentence of rehabilitating King Chen, Gu Zhicheng couldn't help but feel emotional.

"This is not bad, if we can rehabilitate King Chen, we, the so-called heroes who have survived secretly, will not be afraid to meet him in person when we go down to Huangquan after a hundred years. But those who once offered to be rehabilitated are now convicted and condemned. I'm not afraid of death, but if I knew that this road was hopeless, it was obviously useless to die, wouldn't I?
