"Emperor Shenzong had a total of fourteen sons, and only six of them are still alive. The heir of my holy dynasty is not prosperous, the first emperor Renzong has no queen, Emperor Yingzong is the son of Emperor Renzong, Yingzong gave birth to Shenzong, and now the saint is the sixth son of Emperor Shenzong, and Duanwang is the eleventh son of Emperor Shenzong. He Zhizhong said slowly to Li Sanjian.

Emperor Shenzong has fourteen sons, and only six people have survived at present, namely Emperor Zhao Xu, King Mu Zhao Li, Duan King Zhao Ji, Yan King Zhao Yu, Xian Wang Zhao Si and Yue Wang Zhao Si, among which Mu Wang Zhao Yan is in addition to Emperor Zhao Xu, is the oldest, the ninth son of Emperor Shenzong, and Xian Wang Zhao seems to be born to the concubine Zhu, and is the brother of Song Emperor Zhao Xu with the same father and mother.

So far, although Li Sanjian does not understand why He Zhizhong wants to talk about this matter to him, he is also quite interested.

The emperor's heir is not prosperous? The meaning of He Zhizhong probably refers to the meaning of having more and surviving less, right? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

Shenzong had a total of fourteen sons, which is already a lot, but only six people survived. In this world, the level of medical care is backward, the survival rate of babies is low, the common people are like this, and the royal family cannot avoid it, so whether it is the emperor or the common people for the sake of the heirs, they almost take the method of gaining an advantage in numbers, giving birth to one hundred and eighty, and there will always be survivors, right?

It is said that Li Sanjian's family is the same, Fu Erniang gave birth to three sons, and only Li Sanjian survived...

"The ancestors of my holy dynasty have a father and a son, but there are also brothers and brothers, and this is the case with Emperor Taizong of this dynasty." He Zhizhong continued.

"Emperor Taizong?" Li Sanjian groaned when he heard this.

Li Sanjian has also read a lot of history books in Duanwangfu during this time, and even read some wild history, and knows a little about history, especially the history of the Song Dynasty.

The wild history says that Zhao Kuangyin died at the hands of Zhao Guangyi, and the "axe and candle shadow" above the wild history says this matter.

However, what is recorded in the official history is the "Golden Alliance", that is, the brother and the brother. The so-called "Golden Kui Alliance" refers to Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi's biological mother, Empress Dowager Du, who summoned Zhao Pu to the palace when she was dying, recorded her last words, explained the future succession to the throne, and persuaded Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to pass on to his brother Zhao Guangyi after his death. This suicide note is hidden in the Golden Kui, hence the name "The Golden Alliance".

Whether it is the "Golden Alliance" or the "Axe Candle Shadow", so far, there is no way to investigate, and no one can say clearly.

According to the national policy of strict prevention and stubbornness of the Song Dynasty, it is unlikely that Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong will kill his brother and usurp the throne, Li Sanjian after reading this history, he also secretly guessed in his heart that Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, should also want to pass the throne to his brother Zhao Guangyi at the beginning, after all, Zhao Kuangyin won the Chai family Jiangshan Sheji is also inseparable from Zhao Guangyi, and then as the longer he sits on the throne, he should have remorse in his heart, and he should still want to pass the throne to his heirs, rather than to pass it on to his brother Zhao Guangyi, but Zhao Kuangyin is gradually cutting the power of Zhao Guangyi. When he was making intensive arrangements to pass the throne to his heirs, he suddenly fell ill and died of a violent illness, so at this time, Zhao Kuangyin's heirs were still very weak and could not compete with Zhao Guangyi, and the throne fell into the hands of Zhao Guangyi.

In any case, since Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi, he has opened a precedent for brothers to end brothers.

He Zhizhong suddenly mentioned this matter at this time, Li Sanjian probably understood what was going on, Zhao Xu had no children This is a well-known thing, Li Sanjian has been in Kaifeng Mansion in Song Tokyo for nearly a year, if you don't know yet, it is really unheard of.

Zhao Xu is childless and frail and sickly, if the situation is not changed, then the immediate problem is the succession to the throne, at this time, according to the precedent of Brother Song's last brother and brother, then the heir to the throne is likely to be selected from the remaining sons of Shenzong.

Yesterday, Li Sanjian's golden cicada shell plan made Zhao Ji avoid being in an embarrassing situation, and it can even be said that Zhao Ji continued to have the opportunity to compete for the throne.

But why did He Zhizhong say that Li Sanjian's move hindered Zhao Ji again? Li Sanjian was puzzled, but he didn't ask this question, but asked other questions: "Today's youth is at its peak, no... Won't the situation of the child change? Again... ”

Li Sanjian had some words that were difficult to speak, so he seemed a little slurred.

Seeing this, He Zhizhong smiled slightly, pointed to the fragrant tea on the table and said, "Don't worry, sit down and take a sip of tea, what do you want to say?" Don't be in a hurry, say it slowly, today's things are known by God, the earth, you know, and I know, and no third person knows. ”

This is about the same, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, Li Sanjian has already suffered a loss if he is jealous, but today Li Sanjian drank some wine, as the saying goes, wine is strong and intimidating, so Li Sanjian spoke freely.

"The sage cloud, there are no rules, there is no way to make a circle, abolishing the system of father-to-son succession, and doing things that are brother-in-law and brother-in-law, it is really the ancient way to take chaos. Although there are no children in the Holy Beings today, who can say that this situation will not change? Moreover, even if the saint has no heirs, then he can follow the example of the ancestors and choose one person from the clan as his heir, so that is the long-term plan of my holy dynasty, so as to protect the peace of my Great Song Dynasty and the people. Li Sanjian said after hesitating for a long time. dog

If the elder brother dies, that is, he will do what the brother and the younger brother do, then the rules will be broken, and any royal family can be said to be qualified to compete for the throne, then the royal family may kill each other, and the world will be in chaos, then at that time, it is the ordinary people who suffer, although Li Sanjian has no ambition for the country and the people, but he was born in a humble family, so Li Sanjian is extremely unwilling to see such a situation in his heart.

He Zhizhong suddenly looked at Li Sanjian in a daze when he heard this, shocked, He Zhizhong never expected that Li Sanjian was so young, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and he actually had such insight?

Li Sanjian is not wrong at all, abolishing the elder and the young, abolishing the elder and the young, and the brother and the younger brother, breaking the rules, in the past dynasties is indeed the way to take chaos, how many times the harem has been dumped, how many times have the flesh and blood killed each other, isn't it all the same?

"Li Sanlang is really a loyal minister of my holy dynasty." Before He Zhizhong could speak, Duan Wang Zhao Ji came in from outside the door and said: "Li Sanlang can do his best for my Great Song Dynasty, which is really commendable. ”

Where am I "exhausted" for your Zhao family? Li Sanjian muttered secretly in his heart, I am afraid that you masters will mess around on the stage, mess up the world, and harm the people, and your own humble family will also be affected by the pond fish.

Loyal and virtuous ministers? At present, Li Sanjian is a minister, at most he can only be regarded as a loyal and good people.

"I have seen His Highness, I am talking nonsense, I hope His Highness will forgive my sins." Although Li Sanjian muttered in his heart, after seeing Zhao Ji come in, he still hurriedly saluted.

"Hey, Saburo." Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "This king has already said that you and I are brothers, brothers who talk about everything, since this is the case, if there is anything to say, I will never blame you." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Sanjian thanked him movingly.

"Don't be too busy thanking me just yet." Zhao Ji then said: "What this king wants to say is that what you said before is also right or not. ”

Li Sanjian nodded and responded: "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”

Zhao Ji glanced at He Zhizhong when he heard this, and He Zhizhong said knowingly: "Your Highness's meaning is up to me to explain, the first emperor Emperor Renzong accepted the son of the clan as his heir, and inherited the throne, it was Emperor Yingzong, and the heir of our dynasty was extended, but the situation at that time was that Emperor Zhenzong's six sons were only Emperor Renzong, so where did Emperor Renzong have brothers?" The most important thing is that Emperor Renzong is really virtuous, and the world is convinced, and Emperor Renzong is the king of success, so he did not end his brother at that time. But now it is different, today's saint is a child, only one son has been born in a few years, and he has already died, I asked the doctor all over again, saying that the possibility of His Majesty having another child is very small, and the most important Emperor Shenzong still has five sons left, and the mother is strong and the son is healthy, so how can the imperial power be left behind? Li Hanren, do you understand? ”

Li Sanjian was silent after nodding when he heard this, He Zhizhong said for a long time, the mother is strong and the son is healthy, as a mother, of course, she hopes that her child can inherit the throne, so how can the children of other clans have a chance?

"This king has just turned eighteen this year, I don't want to live my life in such a mess, Han Ren, are you willing to help me?" After a long time, Zhao Ji suddenly asked.

The battle for the throne is like this, if you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, if Zhao Ji fails, your life may be worry-free, but you will be kept in captivity like a pig for a lifetime, not only Zhao Ji can't stand it, Li Sanjian also feels uncomfortable when he thinks about it.

Zhao Ji suddenly asked Li Sanjian at this time, Li Sanjian didn't know how to answer, what is the use of being a scholar in the first place if the competition for the throne is such a dangerous thing? Li Sanjian really didn't understand why Zhao Ji said such a thing, did he let himself be cannon fodder? A pawn can be thrown out at any time, and if he loses his pawn to protect the handsome, he will definitely fall into a situation from which he will never recover.

However, Zhao Ji is kind to himself, how can Li Sanjian refuse at this time? Things have come to this point, and Li Sanjian has no possibility of refusing, advancing or dying, retreating or dying, it is better to play forward, maybe he can win in danger.

Li Sanjian thought of the key here, so Li Sanjian saluted and said: "I am willing to follow His Royal Highness and be willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

"Haha" Zhao Ji saw Li Sanjian readily agreeing to this, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I have Han tenacity to help, and great things can be done!" ”

Am I that important? Li Sanjian had all kinds of doubts in his heart.

I just want to pay tribute to a future and let my mother live a good life, but who knew that he was actually involved in the battle for the throne of the Song Dynasty? In this way, the road ahead will be extremely dangerous, Li Sanjian lamented in his heart, it is better to leave Beijing with his mother and return to Qiongtai to sell seafood...
