Yunwang Zhao Kai is twenty-two years old this year, with sword eyebrows and flying eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, pink face like jade, wearing a dragon pattern embroidered like cotton robe, wearing a pair of hard-soled soap boots, and the black hair on his head is covered with purple gold Yingluo, which looks even more handsome, but the lips are slightly thin, and I don't know if it is influenced by the photo book, giving people a feeling of indifference. Although it was in the most private study of the mansion, although there was only one person opposite Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai was still meticulously dressed. It's a habit he's developed since he was a child. I've always been very concerned about my clothes and appearance, and I will never let a single hair mess or let my boots get a little dirt on them.

When he was very young, his mother tried her best every day to gain the favor of her father, so that she could get more among the princes. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and his mother princess Wang Guifei fell out of favor early. Since he was a child, he has understood that only by getting the approval and consent of his father can he live a more comfortable and happy life.

Since then, he has worked hard. His father loved to draw, and he also worked hard to learn to paint, and collected famous paintings everywhere. The flowers and birds he painted are also famous for their delicacy in the capital; My father liked calligraphy, and he also practiced calligraphy hard; His father liked to appreciate antiques and jade, and he also made his staff deliberately edify in order to grow. My father likes beautiful women - you don't have to work hard to learn this, but any man who is a little more relaxed is like this.

When he was sixteen years old, the mother he relied on was depressed and passed away, and since then he has been even more diligent, diligent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, diligent in setting up birds and teasing dogs, and diligent in lingering in Qinglou. When he was seventeen years old, he hid his name, participated in the imperial examination that year, and actually passed all the way, entered the palace examination, and told his father about it, and his father was really happy, and wanted to come to the list, only to find that he had won the top prize. He was only seventeen years old that year, and he had just been crowned King Yun.

After winning the champion, he was appointed by his father to promote the Imperial City Division, and he entered and exited the forbidden province, regardless of morning and evening. Moreover, when the father and emperor attend various banquets, he will definitely bring him, the champion prince, so that he can accept the compliments and respect of those courtiers, so that he can experience the feeling of being under one person and above ten thousand people. But on that occasion, I couldn't see my prince brother every time.

He paid more attention to his prince brother than to himself. For he knew from a very young age that that man was the one who stood in front of him in everything. So when he was very young, he made a vow that in the future he would surpass him and stand in front of him.

Therefore, his henchmen tried their best to collect some information about the prince's brother, so that he could compete with him secretly. What the prince reads, he also reads; The crown prince went to the palace to see his father, and he also found a reason to see his father; Even the crown prince married Zhu Lian, the daughter of the minister Zhu Guina, and he secretly instigated and married Zhu Guina's daughter Zhu Fengying as his wife.

But what his henchmen told him were things that sounded ridiculous and made it impossible for him to compare. For example, the prince likes to be quiet and does not like to be noisy, and if his father takes him to a banquet, he will definitely sit upright and not smile, which will make everyone upset; Another example is that the prince doesn't like women, and he hates Taoist priests even more - you know, the beauty that can please people's hearts and the Taoist priest who can make people cultivate immortals and live forever are what his father diligently pursued! How can I do it against my father than the prince, then I won't be a fool?!

Later, these henchmen simply didn't have any news of the prince to tell him. Because I heard that the prince was in the East Palace every day, doing nothing, just hiding in the house, admiring the fish in the fish tank, looking at it all day, ignoring other things, and others naturally didn't know what he was thinking.

The situation is a bit more delicate. He was the third son, but the second prince, King Gon, died young. Although the crown prince is the eldest son-in-law, orthodox-speaking, this advantage is incomparable to anyone. But when you are only one step away from the peak of the power of the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult for you to resist the temptation to take that step.

Zhao Kai is like this now, and the person sitting opposite him has already told him: Even if you don't have this heart, the people of the prince's faction have already decided that you have this heart, and they have already regarded you as the prince's biggest enemy. First Literature

Zhao Kai knew that what Young Master Wang Hao said was right, "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop", and it is endless, this is a dead end between him and the prince until death. This death situation was laid out as early as when the second prince died early. Nowadays, it is impossible for either side to stop and retreat.

Zhao Kai said to Wang Huang, who was sitting opposite: "Young Master, this time is a critical period for me to compete with the prince, and I must not leave halfway." ”

Wang Hao took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "There is no major incident in the capital recently, the three princes' henchmen are all in Beijing, and there is Taifu Liang sitting in the capital, what are you afraid of, the third prince?" Besides, pacifying Yanjing, this is a great reward, don't you see that the officials have all sued the Taimiao for this? ”

General Zhao Kai asked suspiciously: "Pacifying Yanjing, is it really as the young master said, don't you need to lead the army to fight?" ”

Wang Hao said again and again: "Naturally no-at this time, the third prince wants to lead the troops to fight, and the court must also have the resources to supply!" The military resources that Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing have reserved since the time of Xuan and Feng have been squandered, what is the court going to fight with! ”

When Zhao Kai heard that there was no need to command the troops to fight, he felt a little more steady, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what the young master has to make the Wansheng army obey my orders?" ”

Wang Hao saw that Zhao Kai was moved, so he told Zhao Kai his thoughts, Zhao Kai was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "There is a good plan, this matter is harmonious!" I don't know how the young master arranged? ”

Wang Hao said: "The old minister is in the capital to contact the three princes, and the three princes only need to send reliable people to do things, and then rush to Xiongzhou." And the three princes went to Xiongzhou first, and then sent someone to write a letter, and when Zhou Nan arrived in Xiongzhou, he would naturally promise the three princes, and the matter of Yanjing was naturally safe, and the three princes only waited for the official reward. ”

Zhao Kai said worriedly: "If the young master goes to go in person, first, the state capitals will naturally cooperate, and second, the young master has contributed to this matter, and it will also help us in the future." ”

Wang Hao groaned slightly, and then said: "Okay, the old minister will go through it for the three princes, so that he can understand the chaos in Yanjing as soon as possible." Once Yanjing is finished, we will focus on the affairs of the three princes. ”

Zhao Kai saw Wang Hao's agreement, and said with great joy: "Thank you for the success of the young master, the success of the major event on a different day, the young master is the first hero!" ”
