When they arrived at the Guangping Palace, Zhao Xiu and his brother Zhao Wei visited the King of Guangping together.

The prince Gao Zhen also met them with King Guangping, but Zhao Wei was present, Zhao Xiu knew that he probably didn't have much opportunity to tell Gao Zhen his worries privately, so he simply asked the prince to retreat, so he said his thoughts.

When Zhao Wei heard this, he immediately looked at his sister with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.

King Guangping was a little surprised at first, but soon smiled: "Sister Xiu'er is really a careful child. Don't worry, I've taken precautions for this kind of thing. ”

"It's good if the prince is prepared!" Zhao Xiu cracked his mouth and smiled, thinking about such a smart person as King Guangping, how could he need her little girl to remind him to think of such a big thing? She's really too worried!

King Guangping smiled and said, "Although I am on guard, but Sister Xiu'er, a girl in the boudoir, can think of such a thing, it is really rare." What's even more rare is that you even came to remind me, for fear that I would fall into someone else's calculations. Sister Xiu's kindness, our father and son are very grateful. ”

Zhao Xiu blushed slightly embarrassed, she glanced at Gao Zhen quietly, and saw Gao Zhen blinking at her left eye, she was stunned, her eyes rolled wildly, and she quickly calmed down.

Not...... My brother is still beside me, although King Guangping can't see it, but after all, he is an elder, and with them present, she has to be more stable and serious......

After the shock, Zhao Wei came back to his senses, and he said to King Guangping: "The prince has already taken precautions, but ...... Did anyone really say such a thing? ”

King Guangping smiled slightly: "Brother Wei, don't worry, the emperor will not be suspicious of me because of a few rumors." And what do I have to be suspicious of? But all the discerning people in the court can naturally understand the purpose of the rumors, and only foolish people will believe it. ”

Zhao Wei was relieved at this time, and said with a smile: "What the prince said is true, how many things in this world can be hidden from the emperor's insight?" ”

King Guangping probably didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he asked Zhao Wei about his homework. Zhao Wei hurriedly sat up straight and answered one by one seriously. When King Guangping heard that he had answered all his questions, and that the answers were very good and clear, he knew that he must be working hard every day at home, and he was also very satisfied: "This is very good." I've heard that you've made a lot of new friends now, and you go out to socialize from time to time, but you can still keep your business in mind while having fun, which shows that you are a determined child. It is extremely rare for a young man to be able to sit still at home. It's good to get through these few months, and when you get the lift, you will have your own comfortable days in the future. ”

Zhao Wei hurriedly got up and respectfully responded.

Then the king of Quang Binh said, "I have something to tell you." Then he naturally turned his head to Gao Zhen and said, "Didn't you say that you got a good book, and you think that your sister Zhao will definitely like it?" Take her to the book. ”

Gao Zhen was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "Yes, father." Then he turned to Zhao Xiu: "Sister Zhao, let's go?" ”

Zhao Xiu was a little stunned, this is ...... Does King Quang Binh officially pay benefits? She thought she wouldn't have a chance to talk to Gao Zhen privately today. But everything she wants to say has already been said, even if she has the opportunity to get along privately now, it won't be of much use.

However, she still saluted the king of Guangping and retreated with Gao Zhen. King Guangping understood that she had something to talk to her brother in private, so would she still have to die here?

It was Zhao Wei who was also stunned for a long time. He really wanted to stop his sister from leaving Gao Zhen, and he didn't want them to be alone in private, but there was no way, King Guangping had an order, and he still had to stay and listen to King Guangping's orders, so he had to watch his sister go away with Gao Zhen.

Zhao Wei thought to himself that the king of Guangping even sent his own son Gao Zhen and his sister Zhao Xiu away, and he must have told him an extremely important matter, even Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu couldn't know, so he settled down and listened carefully to the teachings of King Guangping.

Who knew that King Guangping first told him such a thing: "The Holy Lord will issue an order tomorrow to appoint Li Jinqing as the chief examiner of the Shuntianxiang examination." I know that you often go to Li's house to ask him for advice, and it is best not to go again in the future. When you pass the exam, it's not too late to go. ”

Zhao Wei was a little surprised, and hurriedly agreed. However, he was mentally prepared for this, and he was not too surprised. He was surprised that King Guangping actually sent Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu away for this trivial matter. Obviously they knew about it.

I don't know if I heard the difference in the tone of Zhao Wei's words, and then King Guangping said: "Your sister is a smart child, and it is rare that her knowledge is not limited to the back house. Just looking at the fact that she has just been on the throne for a year, and the opposition party has not yet been cleared up, you can think that there may be rumors, and I am more likely to be regarded as a tool to attack the emperor by people with ill intentions. Your family is thin, and your grandmother, although she is a benevolent elder, may not know the risks of going up. You can consult with your sister more in trouble, and if you really don't have an idea, come back to me. You have been watched by me since you were a child, and your feelings are different, so you don't have to talk to me. ”

Zhao Wei hurriedly agreed, and said with a smile: "My sister is actually not as good as the prince said, she is just a little clever, and she can't afford the prince's praise." ”

King Guangping smiled and shook his head: "Wait for the idle boudoir woman, even this little cleverness is not yet." She is raised in the deep boudoir, can she know what is going on outside? It's rare to be able to deduce from what little information I know that I'm probably in trouble. I'm not asking you to think of her as a military advisor, after all, she doesn't know what is going on, and she may make a misjudgment. However, one person counts short, and two people count long. You are a smart child, and your sister is also thoughtful, so it is better for the two of them to discuss in one place than to worry about it alone. Your grandmother is old and doesn't know what's going on outside, so don't let her worry about it. I really don't know what to do, so it's the same when you come to ask me. ”

Zhao Wei responded and thanked him again for his kindness. However, he was a little worried, his sister just reminded King Guangping of a word today, and King Guangping paid so much attention to it, could it be that this matter really had a great impact on the palace?

King Guangping only downplayed his question: "The rumors just want to use me as a raft, and the emperor knows it in his heart." I, a blind man, can ascend to the throne? Even if everyone in the world listened to the rumors, the courtiers would not have been able to let me sit in that seat. But in this way, doesn't it seem that the emperor is not right? The ultimate goal of those who spread rumors is the emperor! ”

Zhao Wei figured it out and was suddenly stunned. I don't know who is spreading rumors behind this back, and the intentions are really sinister. According to rumors, there are people who are more qualified to sit on the dragon chair than the emperor, there are one and two, and the king of Guangping is blind and cannot be the king, so is there anyone else who is qualified?

Although the first emperor established the prince with his eldest son, but because of his mediocre talent, he has been making stupid moves after succeeding to the throne, and Emperor Taizu's favor for King Ying is well known to the world. Therefore, between the government and the opposition, there has always been a rumor that King Ying is more qualified to inherit the throne. Not to mention how much of this was deliberately done by King Ying during his lifetime, it is a fact that the first emperor was unpopular among both the civil servants and the generals. The first emperor connived at two rebellions and buried his own life. On the day he died, how many people showed sadness on the surface, but secretly shouted in their hearts? King Guangping used to be the prince who was favored by everyone, if he succeeded to the throne, maybe there would be no market for this kind of rumor, but it was his brother who succeeded him.

Many people feel that the reason why Jin Shang was named the crown prince by the first emperor was entirely because he was the brother of the king of Guangping and had the full support of his brother's family. When I was an ordinary prince today, my sense of existence was not high, and my homework was mediocre, and I had the impression that he was a lively and fun-loving teenager. If he hadn't been quite reliable when he was competing for the throne later, he would not have won the support of so many people. But the time for him to appear is still too short, and his prestige in the court or local area is slightly insufficient, so it is no wonder that so many people have doubts about him. However, as long as a few years pass, he shows his means as a young Mingjun, naturally no one will dare to question his ability. Therefore, those who are intent on attacking him can only take advantage of the fact that he is not yet on the throne.

Who called that earthquake so coincidental?

Regardless of whether the Guangping palace will be suspicious and suppressed by the emperor because of rumors, it is always the current emperor who will be most affected in the end. His succession to the throne was justified, and it was the rumors that attacked it. If the people of the world really believe in them, then the emperor's succession to the throne will no longer be justified. Maybe the person who spreads rumors may not be able to become a climate, but the emperor is said to be incorrect, and it is disgusting enough.

After Zhao Wei figured this out, he sighed deeply. King Ying is all bad, although the princess and the prince are still breathing, they are also in seclusion. The six princes also lost their royal status and were demoted to the Marquis of Sanyin, and they were also not free. These people were saved by the emperor's benevolence. Whoever is secretly playing tricks, no matter which one they support, don't they think that if they anger the king, these people will lose their lives? Could it be that they really just wanted to disgust the emperor, and they didn't really want to praise anyone to come out and rebel?

Compared with the heavy atmosphere on the side of King Guangping and Zhao Wei, Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen got along much more easily. Gao Zhen led Zhao Xiu to his courtyard, which was still the same study he had stayed in last time. When he entered the house, he was not busy taking out the book to show Zhao Xiu, but only asked someone to serve tea and snacks.

Zhao Xiu thought that his brother didn't know how long he was going to talk, maybe he would call her in a while, so he said: "I just ate tea, I don't need to call anymore, I'm not hungry, I don't need to eat snacks." Hurry up and bring me the book. ”

Gao Zhen glanced back at her and said with a smile: "What are you anxious about?" It's just a reason, if it's just a book, why send you to sit with me? ”

Zhao Xiu thought to himself that the prince just asked him to show her the book, and he himself brought her here, where was the prince sending her? Then he said disapprerovingly: "I don't know, I just obeyed the prince's orders." ”

Gao Zhen still ordered the girl to have some refreshments, turned around and sat down opposite Zhao Xiu, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, my father has something to avoid from you, don't you understand?" What a book, but an excuse. ”

Zhao Xiu glanced at him: "Whether it's an excuse or not, I always have to take a book anyway." Then she was a little curious: "What does the prince want to say to my brother?" And sent us out? Is it a secret? ”

Gao Zhen deliberately hung her appetite: "Is this ......" and "What" for a long time before winking at her: "I don't know either!" ”

Zhao Xiu suddenly stopped: "What are you fooling me?!" ”

Gao Zhen smiled, and when he saw that there was no one else in the house, he said softly to Zhao Xiu: "Thank you for thinking about our father and son, and came over to remind us." I know you're worried about our safety. ”

Zhao Xiu's face was slightly hot, but his mouth was stiff: "If you really want to thank me, don't play me a few times." ”

"I won't fool you." Gao Zhen looked at her with a smile, "I just want you to stay with me a little longer." If you can sit here a little longer, what is tea and snacks? ”

Zhao Xiu's face suddenly turned red again, she lowered her head and pulled the handkerchief, and only said after a while: "You say such things again, you don't have to make people ......" Biting her lip, "angry...... Actually, she originally wanted to say that she was embarrassed......

"Are you really angry?" Gao Zhen secretly looked at her, "You don't want to hear me say such things?" ”

Zhao Xiu glanced at him, just met his eyes, and quickly looked away: "How could I want to hear it?" I'm a serious person! ”

Gao Zhen smiled secretly, hesitantly stretched out his hand, and approached Zhao Xiu's hand, Zhao Xiu noticed it and hurriedly sat down in a position, and when he heard Yahuan come in with tea, he immediately sat up straight, with a dignified face.

Gao Zhen withdrew his hand silently, and waited for Yahuan to put down the tea and go out, before he solemnly said to Zhao Xiu: "Sister Zhao, don't worry, I am not a serious person. ”

Zhao Xiu didn't think about what he meant by this until he got into the carriage home. The way he looks, every time he makes her blush, sometimes he will move his hands and feet, and he is embarrassed to say that he is a serious person? Zhao Xiu couldn't help but take a sip, but immediately realized that her brother was also sitting in the carriage, and she was a little embarrassed when she could see her movements.

Zhao Wei stared at his sister: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing." Zhao Xiu coughed and quickly opened the topic, "By the way, brother, what did the prince tell you just now?" Can you tell me no? ”

Zhao Wei said: "You may not understand the major events in the court outside. Although King Guangping said that he had something to discuss with his sister, he still hesitated a little in his heart. It's just a matter of family, but this battle for imperial power and rebellion is ...... He still has some reservations. Anyway, the matter has nothing to do with his family, and when there is new news about the scene in the future, it will not be too late for him to say more. Now out there, forget it.

Zhao Xiu didn't really want to know, but he just wanted to divert Zhao Wei's attention, although he was curious, he didn't ask anymore. But she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, brother, have you asked the prince if he will come over for his grandfather's anniversary ceremony?" ”

The brother and sister looked at each other.

This was the reason why they went out, and they both forgot about it. When I get home, how will I explain it to my grandmother?
