Zhao Ji glanced at Zhao Huan with a little disappointment, only to see that Zhao Huan's eyebrows were humble and his expression was dull, he really couldn't arouse his interest in speaking, so he reluctantly "hmm" and said: "Good students study hard, will nourish their bodies, and Daddy will go back." As he spoke, he stood up.

When Geng Nanzhong saw that Zhao Ji was leaving, he gestured to Zhao Huan several times, but Zhao Huan was as frightened as a quail in front of Zhao Ji, where did he dare to look around and be exquisite?

Geng Nanzhong couldn't help sighing, so he had to stand up by himself, bow to Zhao Ji, and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has allowed the third prince to go north with Wang Zuocheng, intending to calm Yanjing. The ancestral system has a saying, the clan prince and the vassal king are not allowed to receive real positions, let alone interfere in military and political affairs, and I hope that His Majesty will take the ancestral system as the priority and find another capable minister. Geng Nanzhong also just learned that Zhao Kai and Wang Anzhong, the kings of Yun, were going north to quell the Yanjing Rebellion. was discussing with the prince how to stop King Yun's trip, but it happened that the emperor arrived, and the prince was too cowardly to say it, so he had to say it.

The crown prince is not a fool, of course he knows that if Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, can quell the Yanjing rebellion this time, then this momentum will have a few more chances of winning. Besides, King Yun Zhao Kai is not a reckless person, his staff, as well as the ministers who secretly take refuge, will give advice to King Yun. If he was not completely sure, King Yun would never take the initiative to invite Ying to Yanjing. So I discussed with the prince just now, no matter what, I must stop King Yun from going north.

"Well, there is such a thing, but King Yun has not received any real position, and this trip is mainly based on Wang Zuocheng." Although Zhao Ji was displeased, after all, he was the prince's teacher and the future prince's auxiliary minister. Besides, Zhao Ji was guilty in his heart, so Zhao Ji also tried his best to explain.

"In the matter of Yanjing, the army has Tong Taishi to decide, and the government affairs have been dealt with by Wang Zuocheng, who was sent to deal with it. However, the third prince is even more nameless? "Geng Nanzhong is not a Geng Jiewenchen, even if he speaks to the emperor, he is not soft-mouthed.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Qing Zhen is the prince's teacher. It is my order to let the third prince go to Yanjing. The third brother was in charge of the Imperial City Division, and seeing that the affairs of Yanjing were chaotic and complicated, it was very difficult to deal with them, so he had to order the third brother to take people to the north to spy on them. Qing should know that the Imperial City Division inherited from the Wude Division of the previous dynasty, and it itself has the responsibility of being in charge of the palace ban and spying on intelligence. Sending the third brother is in harmony with his duties. As for the disposal of Yanjing, Wang Zuocheng will accompany him in small matters, and the third brother will of course report it to me in major matters, and it is up to me to decide. ”

Geng Nanzhong saw that the emperor was determined to let King Yun go to Yanjing, and found a suitable reason for King Yun to go to Yanjing - to spy on the border situation. In this way, Geng Nanzhong can't argue.

Of course, Geng Nanzhong would not be helpless by Zhao Ji's words, his mind was racing, and he said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, for a hundred years, the people of Yandi Han have looked forward to the king's master, and everyone has thought of returning. I'm waiting for a courtier, who doesn't want to be able to share your majesty's worries? is the prince, and when he talks about it every day, he also deeply hates being the prince, not being able to lead the army in person, and raise troops to fight Yan. Today, King Yun can go to Yandi to spy on the border situation, and the prince and I also implore Your Majesty to go to the north to relieve the country's worries. After speaking, he leaned over the lobby and kowtowed repeatedly.

When the crown prince Zhao Huan saw it, he also hurriedly went over to stand in the hall and said to Zhao Ji: "Erchen...... Erchen also wants to share the ...... for his father Share worries. When he spoke, his expression was not as generous as Geng Nanzhong's, but as if a student was studying with a teacher.

Zhao Ji was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the prince would also want to go to Yanjing to fight for this merit, but this pacification of Yanjing is not to sit down and eat at a banquet, there is no countermeasure, and it is useless to go. Thinking of this, Zhao Ji asked, "I don't know what Qing has to do?" ”

Geng Nanzhong immediately straightened his chest and said: "Yanjing has been fighting repeatedly, but it can be seen that everyone is tired of swordsmen; And the people of the society are not guaranteed, this Yanjing was originally my Han land, and I have been in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and the minister believes that if you want to persuade you, you will definitely be willing to return to my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Ji had long expected that Geng Nanzhong would say this, scholars talk about the country, nothing more than "swept away", and he didn't speak, just waiting for Geng Nanzhong to bargain. Geng Nanzhong really had no confidence in his heart, and when he saw that Zhao Ji just smiled and ignored it, he said again: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to break their bones, and they must also assist the prince to recapture Yanjing for Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it!" "Read a book with a quick eye

Zhao Ji said at this time: "The prince is loyal to the country, and I am very relieved. It's just that the prince is different from others after all, the prince is a national body, and he is the prince, how can he be in danger at will? ”

Zhao Kai's face moved when Zhao Ji said something, and Geng Nanzhong was also happy when he heard Zhao Ji say that the crown prince was the prince, but he was still thinking about how to become Yanjing.

Zhao Ji saw that everyone was happy, and Geng Nanzhong no longer took the lead in shouting to go to pacify Yanjing with the prince, so he smiled with satisfaction and said: "Since the third brother has gone, if you want to go to the East Palace but can't go, it will inevitably make everyone talk behind their backs." In this way, I will issue an edict, Geng Qing's family, you will follow Wang Zuocheng and others to Yanjing City for the prince as the prince's right concubine, you can only help with all your heart, do you understand? ”

When Geng Nanzhong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Zhao Ji. On the other hand, Zhao Huan is still standing there with an indifferent face, but he can also do not be happy with things and not sad for himself.

Zhao Ji took one last look at Zhao Huan, couldn't help but feel bored for a while, stood up, and just said, "You don't have to send it." As he spoke, he walked out.

Out of the East Palace, Zhao Ji couldn't help but look up at the sky, took a long breath, and then felt that the boredom in his chest had decreased a lot, but he no longer had the warmth and pity for the prince Zhao Huan when he came just now, and only thought about how to get out of that hall as soon as possible. At this time, Zhao Ji was excited, and then said to the accompanying eunuch: "Go back to the palace." ”

Zhao Ji was at the crown prince Zhao Huan just now, so he naturally understood the plans of Geng Nanzhong and other officials of the prince's East Palace. Although Zhao Ji doesn't like Zhao Huan, he needs the character of the prince Zhao Huan to be there, so that the prince will be very obedient. The third brother Zhao Kai is even more obedient, and the more these two factions fight, the more stable his Zhao Ji's throne is.

That's what he wants.

So just now, Geng Nanzhong repeatedly asked to send the crown prince and him Geng Nanzhong to Yanjing, but he didn't agree at first.

Because he knew that if the two factions went to Yanjing together, good things would be messed up. But Zhao Ji didn't want Zhao Kai and these people to be dominant, so he finally agreed to Geng Nanzhong and let him follow him.

In this way, Geng Nanzhong is the role of the supervising army, and the two factions are balanced.

Of course Zhao Ji knew just now
