"Dao Jian Dao Jian, come with me, brother is urgently called!" It was Zhao Zonghan who said this, and he hurriedly ran to the yamen of the commercial tax supervisor, with irrepressible excitement in his tone.

Gan Qi didn't think much about it, and hurriedly went out with Zhao Zonghan, Zhao Zongshi was in a hurry, and it must be a big deal.

The two got into the car as soon as they went out, and Gan Qi asked, "Xianfu, why are you so anxious?"

Zhao Zonghan slowly leaned over and whispered in Gan Qi's ear: "The official family has issued an edict, and the elder brother will be the prince." ”

The news was a little scary, Gan Qi's eyes widened, and he asked, "When was the edict issued?" ”

"Early this morning, my brother entered the palace to ask for peace, and after a few idle words from the official family, he issued an edict. The elder brother didn't dare to accept it, and repeatedly shirked, and the official family did not take back his fate, but just sent the elder brother out of the palace. Zhao Zonghan said more and more excitedly.

Gan Qi hurriedly raised his hand to stop and replied, "Don't say much, go back and talk about it." ”

Zhao Zonghan hurriedly subconsciously covered his mouth and nodded.

When Gan Qi entered the old palace, Zhao Zongshi had been waiting in the study for a long time, with excitement on his face, just now Zhao Zonghan also said that Zhao Zongshi repeatedly resigned in front of the emperor, but Zhao Zongshi at this time was excited, which showed that he was very happy in his heart.

As soon as Gan Qi entered the small hall, Zhao Zongshi was already excited, grabbed Gan Qi, and said, "Dao Jian, it's done, it's really done." ”

It happened too early, and this scene in history took more than two years later, why did it come to pass early? Maybe it's really Gan Qi who asked Zhao Zongshi to be the one who knows Zongzhengsi.

Ganchi wasn't so excited, because it came too early and wasn't necessarily good. If it was more than two years late, Zhao Zongshi got the prince, and Renzong died seven months later. Now Zhao Zongshi, the prince, will be more than three years old, which is too long, and it will always remind Gan Qi of the phrase "long nights and dreams".

Why did Zhao Zhen give Zhao Zongshi the prince, not the crown prince?

It can be seen that Zhao Zhen actually has hesitation in his heart, the prince is a sure thing, unique. The prince can still be sealed to others, that is to say, if things continue like this, there are no branches, as soon as Zhao Zhen dies, Zhao Zongshi can inherit the unification, because Zhao Zongshi is the only prince.

But if there are branches, it will be easy for Zhao Zhen to seal another prince, or even another prince. Zhao Zongshi in history has never been a prince, until Zhao Zhen's death, Zhao Zongshi is also the only prince under Renzong's knees. Renzong seems to be really hesitating, or in his heart, Renzong is actually still unwilling, unwilling to fall from the throne.

Seeing the excited appearance of the two brothers, Gan Qi hurriedly pressed his arm and said, "A little rest, a little rest." Things go back and forth. ”

For more than three years, things must be repeated, and something will definitely happen, which Gan Qi could not predict at all. But in all dynasties, where did the matter of the throne go so smoothly?

Zhao Zongshi was shocked when he heard this, and raised his hand: "Dao Jian quickly sat down and said to me in detail, I also feel unreliable in my heart." ”

Gan Qi sat down and immediately said: "Brother now, the safest way is to stay at home no matter what happens, and I don't see anyone, and the people who serve around you must be the most trustworthy person, or call the eldest sister home directly, and the eldest sister is the best to serve by the side." ”

"Yes, that's safe." Zhao Zongshi nodded, and said, "Dao Jian, now...... Who should I guard against now? ”

Zhao Zongshi seems to be a little confused, or uneasy, maybe because all this is too smooth, he has been a spare tire in the palace since he was a child, moved out when he grew up, and then became an official, and then suddenly became the only prince under Renzong's knees. It seems that there really hasn't been a bit of a twist and turn.

Guarding against whom? This question asked Gan Qi, and Gan Qi didn't know who to guard against, the enemy was dark and I was clear, and there were actually no royal children in Bianliang City who had the ability to compete, because the children of the royal family were only raised in the Great Song Dynasty, and no one held the authority.

But Gan Qi knew that there was one person who had to be guarded against, and replied, "Queen! ”

When these words came out, Zhao Zonghan looked shocked, but Zhao Zongshi just nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

While the three of them were talking, a servant reported outside the door: "Master, there is a post from a servant outside the door, saying that he is asking the master to see it with his own eyes." ”

Zhao Zongshi looked at Gan Qi and then glanced at Zhao Zonghan.

Zhao Zonghan got up and went out to take the post, and closed the door again.

The post arrived in the hands of Zhao Zongshi, and after it was opened, there was no head-up, no payment, just one line of words: Tonight, the old minister asked His Royal Highness to go to the south of the city to enjoy a round, and the stakes are very high.

Old minister? Zhao Zongshi's brows were already furrowed. In the past, Zhao Zongshi was not qualified for this kind of self-title, and only the current emperor was qualified for this kind of self-title.

Now, Zhao Zongshi seems to have this qualification. But such a self-proclaimed claim still shows some flattery.

Zhao Zongshi handed the post to Gan Qi, waved his hand and said: "This banquet can't go, just get the prince, it's not a good thing to see the foreign minister." It's so hidden, it's not a good feast. ”

Just this sentence, Gan Qi glanced at it, closed his eyes and pondered, at this time, who would dare to do such a thing? Aren't you afraid of being accused of a crime with bad intentions?

Petty officials and petty positions, where do you have the courage? Even if he is a high-ranking official in the court, where can he have such a tone? What is still at stake?

The person who wrote this post is obviously thinking about the future, and the person who can think about the future like this? Who is it?

In this Great Song Renzong Dynasty, other official positions are easy to say, just be in front of it, and be as long as you want. There is only one official position that is precarious, and that is the prime minister, who seems to be very powerful, but he is precarious, two or three years, which can be regarded as a long time.

A person who can make such a plan, a person who can have such a big breath, the identity seems to be about to come out in Ganqi's heart. This is not only Ganch's analysis at this time, but also Ganch's knowledge of history. In the Renzong Dynasty, among all the slaughterers, only Han Qi broke the rules and remained until Xiao Needle came to power, and he also called it a beautiful name: Three Dynasties and Virtuous Ministers.

Why was Han Qi able to break the rules? Staying in a high position for a long time without falling?

This can be seen from this post.

"Nine times out of ten, this post is from Han Qi's hand." Gan Qi directly stated his guess.

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

Zhao Zonghan and Zhao Zongshi, two brothers, expressed their shock almost at the same time.

After being shocked, Zhao Zongshi asked, "Dao Jian, what ...... Shall I go then? ”

Gan Qi thought about it again and replied: "Go, you should go, what Han Qi is trying is just for the future, if he is willing to help, it is better than opposing it in the court." Whatever he says, the brother should do. ”

"If this matter is known to the official family, it is terrible to know that my brother has seen the prime minister of the dynasty in private." Zhao Zonghan said the words of worry in his heart.

"Therefore, we must be careful in our actions, and tonight, Xianfu was in my brother's study, studying hard all night, and then taught outsiders to think that my brother was at home. My brother disguised himself and went out with me, and I pretended to be loud in the car, pretending to be chatting with Xianfu, and only said that I would go out to drink, so that I could go out safely. Gan Qi thought a lot, and he had to think too much, but Renzong's attitude was still hesitant, so he had to take precautions.

Zhao Zongshi thought for a long time before he nodded: "That's it." ”
