It is true, Zhao Zhi's several adult princes, Li Zhong doesn't like any of them, these royal relatives and nobles who grow up in the palace and don't eat fireworks in the world, where do they know the suffering of the world, where they know how to understand the world, don't look at Zhao Xun and Zhao He, the two look Confucian and elegant, gentle, approachable, generous, giving people a kind of saintly and brilliant appearance, but Li Zhong saw through Zhao Xun and Zhao He, one is more hypocritical than the other, and the other is scheming than the other, but in the final analysis, they all have the same essence, They are all unkind people.

Whether it is Zhao Xun or Zhao He, the two of them deliberately learn and imitate Zhao Zhi everywhere, I have to say that the two of them have learned really well, and even better than the blue in some aspects, they think they have learned the essence of it, but they ignore the most important thing in Zhao Zhi, that is, true feelings.

Zhao Zhi is indeed good at scheming, for political enemies, for those who dare to block the way forward, he can be ruthless, with extremely cruel means to attack and suppress, but in addition to these, Zhao Zhi also has his true temperament.

Or the Pingzong period, Zhao Zhi and the prince of Pingzong competed, experienced many dangers, hovered on the verge of death several times, the cause of some things was not himself, but his two brothers of the opposite sex, at that time Li Zhong and Zhao Bai'an, were still unknown juniors, talent is not obvious, push them out to protect themselves, maybe the best choice, but Zhao Zhi did not do this, but faced together, this is brotherhood, but also Zhao Zhi's true temperament, and the relationship with Li Yi, that is a lifetime of love, up and down for thousands of years, And how many emperors can do it?

At the beginning of Zhao Zhi's succession, he reused Liu Wei and Yang Daosi, and once said very bluntly, if the two of them think that I am irretrievable, they should pull me down, take the world and use it for their own use, if they feel that there is still a chance, please also assist me wholeheartedly, smooth out the troubled times, and return the world to a bright future.

At that moment when Great Xia was about to fall and the country was on the verge of extinction, it was extremely dangerous, Zhao Zhi dared to say such things bluntly, which was also his true temperament.

Li Zhong felt that Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu, was not bad, but unfortunately because of the tragic death of the woman he loved deeply, the hatred in his heart had exceeded the scope of understanding, such a person was too dangerous.

Compared with these princes, among the descendants who have a relationship with the royal family, Li Zhong's favorite is Li Xun, who is not pretentious, treats people sincerely, and is affectionate and righteous to his brothers.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, your worries about the prince are also understood, but at this critical moment, people who are not close relatives and trusts cannot be trusted, Yuwen Zhen is the prince's father-in-law, compared to Huang Hua, the prince naturally wants to use someone who is absolutely trustworthy, as for Huang Hua, people's hearts are unpredictable, it is normal for the prince to have this consideration."

Lu Baijiang saw that Li Zhong was silent for a long time, so he spoke out to break the silence.

Li Zhong sneered: "Yu Wenzhen is the prince's father-in-law, and all his net worth and life are entrusted to the prince, he is naturally trustworthy, but what about the 50,000 soldiers under him?" I still say the same thing, although Huang Hui is not close to the prince, but this person has a strong and upright temperament, and he is by no means a villain who forgets his righteousness, the prince is a prince, and he is righteous, as long as Xia Zhao seeks Huang Hui's help, Huang Hua will definitely follow the righteousness and help each other. ”

Li Zhong didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but unfortunately he couldn't help himself in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Zhi had to ask him to participate in this game, and Li Zhong could only obey the emperor's orders, in order to repay Zhao Zhi's great kindness.

Zhao Xun transferred troops into the city and fully took over and controlled the entire Fengjing, Li Zhong was in favor of this, but what he meant was that the 50,000 troops of Huang Hua were transferred into the city, not Yu Wenzhen's army, the reason is very simple, the Chinese army controlled by Yu Wenzhen is the most concentrated place for the children of the gate valve family, and more than seventy percent of the middle and senior officers and generals are all related to the gate valve family, such a person is really reliable? If it comes to a critical moment, the family's order is contrary to Yu Wenzhen's order, how will they choose?

It's a pity that Zhao Xun obviously didn't take Li Zhong's warning to heart, maybe he had his own plans, and he firmly believed that his decision was correct.

While the two were talking, Li Xiao returned home.

After experiencing some things, Li Xiao has become more and more mature, with full body armor, serious, and uninhibited face, giving people a kind of majesty of a superior person, the current Li Xiao is somewhat similar to Li Zhong when he was young.

Compared with two years ago, Li Xiao is indeed much more mature, and he is a well-informed person and a good person outside, but at home, he is still more casual.

He took off his armor and heard that Lu Baijiang was coming and was talking to his father in the study, so he changed into civilian clothes and went to the study, without knocking on the door, and pushed the door directly.

Li Xiao walked into the room with a smile: "Lord Lu, you are quite idle today, and you actually took the initiative to come to my house." ”

Lu Baijiang got up and arched his hand: "Laughing, I'm sorry." ”

"Lord Lu is polite, please take a seat."

Li Xiao smiled, and then bowed to Li Zhong: "Father is fine." ”

Li Zhong frowned slightly: "Why did you come back?" Your homecoming holiday is still five days away. ”

Li Xiao is now a general in the Left Army of the Forbidden Army, from the fourth grade, Li Zhong originally wanted to suppress his son's promotion speed, but in the two Longyou Wars, Li Xiao was involved in it, not to mention that he got a big role in the war, not much, but in any case, after the victory of the two wars, Li Xiao's official position was still rapidly promoted.

Li Xiao said softly: "The child heard that his mother has been feeling a little unwell these days, so he went home to visit one or two, and the child will return to the barracks immediately tomorrow morning." ”

Li Zhong nodded, it is a good thing that his son has filial piety: "You are now a general, a general in charge of 5,000 soldiers, if you want to convince the soldiers under your command, you must lead by example and don't let others gossip." ”

"The father taught him that his son should be cautious."

Li Xiao said he understood, and then sat aside.

Lu Baijiang chatted with Li Zhong for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

"Father, it's not too early, you rest early, and the child goes to see his mother."

Li Xiao is also preparing to leave.

"Your mother is fine, just a little insomnia, the doctor prescribed medicine, and now she is asleep."

Li Zhong suddenly said loudly.

Li Xiao looked at his father, knowing that his son was more than his father, this sentence was the same in reverse, Li Xiao knew that his father must have something to say to himself.

Li Zhong walked back and forth, with a contemplative look on his face, Li Xiao stood aside, did not speak, and waited for the following.

After a while, Li Zhongcai stopped, looked at Li Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "You immediately go out of the city and return to the barracks, tell Huang Hua, just say what I said, if there is a change in the city, let him divide the troops into two ways, all the way to monitor the movement of the right army of the forbidden army, and do not allow them to leave the barracks, one route is led by him personally, and immediately go to Fengjing City to defend the emperor and the crown prince." ”

Hearing this, Li Xiao's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Father, there are Imperial Forest Army and Forbidden Army in the city, both of which are the troops of His Royal Highness the Prince, adding up to nearly 80,000 soldiers, everything is under the control of the Prince, who can threaten the safety of the Imperial City?" ”

Li Zhong scolded coldly: "Don't be afraid of just in case, just be afraid of 10,000, there is no absolute, do you want me to teach you this truth?" You go out of the city immediately and tell Huang Hui all my words word for word. ”

Li Xiao nodded, didn't say more, bowed his hand, stepped forward to take the troop transfer tiger talisman in his father's hand, and then strode away.
