Chapter 424: The Eight Kings

"Dingwang?" When Li Zhang heard the person who asked to see Zhao Zhen, he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, because he felt that this Dingwang was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember the other party's name, the Great Song Dynasty had a different surname and was not crowned the king, so this Dingwang must be a relative of the emperor, but Zhao Zhen is a lone seedling, and he is definitely not his brother, the only possibility is his previous generation, that is, Zhao Heng's brother.

"Uncle Eight Emperor is here, please come in!" Zhao Zhen immediately opened his mouth at this time, and his face also showed a happy look.

Li Zhang heard Zhao Zhen's title to King Ding, and immediately remembered, the so-called King Ding, in fact, is Zhao Heng's eighth brother Zhao Yuanyan, Taizong was named King of Zhou, Zhao Zhen changed to King Ding after ascending the throne, because he ranked eighth, his mother is filial piety, and he is extremely majestic, so he is also very prestigious among the people, and he is called the "Eight Kings" inside and outside the court, but it is worth noting that the Eight Kings and the Eight Kings of the Yang family are not alone, so don't be confused.

"Cousin, Uncle Eight Emperor is a good person, both the court and the people have a very high opinion of him, wait for me to introduce you to each other!" Zhao Zhen said to Li Zhang excitedly at this time, it seems that the relationship between him and Zhao Yuanyan is also quite good.

"Has His Royal Highness King Ding come to His Majesty often lately?" Li Zhang took a sip of tea at this time, and then asked seemingly casually.

"Yes, it's not easy to say that Uncle Eight Emperors, since the death of his father, he was worried that the eldest lady would embarrass him, so he told the public that he had a madness, and he usually studied at home behind closed doors, but he did not have a grudge against the eldest lady, but when the eldest lady was sick some time ago, he also personally visited the palace." Zhao Zhen introduced again at the moment.

In fact, although Zhao Yuanyan is Zhao Zhen's uncle, the two did not have much intersection before, but after Liu E fell ill, Zhao Yuanyan suddenly began to go out, and often entered the palace, as a result, he became familiar with Zhao Zhen, speaking of which Zhao Yuanyan likes to read, and is versatile, especially extremely proficient in calligraphy and painting, which also makes Zhao Zhen admire him very much.

Li Zhang smiled slightly when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, and didn't say anything, but he knew better than anyone that Zhao Yuanyan didn't have any relationship with Zhao Zhen, but at this time, he suddenly jumped out, he must have a plan, and as a prince, he didn't have any political achievements, but he had an excellent reputation among the people and the court, which was a bit abnormal.

After a while, I saw the waiter leading a middle-aged man in his forties to walk in, this person was Zhao Yuanyan, I saw that the other party was tall and majestic, especially there was a big mole between the eyebrows, which looked like three eyes were bright, and the eyes could even stop the child from crying.

"Xiaguan Li Zhang pays a visit to His Royal Highness King Ding!" Li Zhang stood up at this time and took the initiative to salute, after all, the other party was the emperor's uncle, and his status was much higher than him, even Zhao Zhen stood up to greet him at this time.

Although Zhao Yuanyan looked majestic, he showed a warm smile when he saw Li Zhang: "I heard just now that the world-famous Li Duwei is here, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to see it before, but when I see it today, he is really a young talent!" ”

"Uncle Eight Emperor is right, my cousin is the most talented person I have ever met, but there is one thing he is definitely not as good as Uncle Huang, that is, the words are definitely not as good as Uncle Huang's writing!" Zhao Zhen also laughed at this time and said, Li Zhang's handwriting has always been very ugly, he has made fun of Li Zhang since he was a child, of course, he didn't know that Li Zhang's calligraphy had also made great progress in the year he was under house arrest, and he was already in the house, of course, compared with Zhao Yuanyan's calligraphy, it was still much worse.

"King Ding's calligraphy and painting are unique, I have heard of it, Your Majesty, you are simply bullying me by comparing my words with King Ding." Li Zhang didn't mind laughing at this time, he and Zhao Zhen are so familiar that it's normal to joke or something.

However, Zhao Yuanyan saw the ease when Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang got along, but he showed a look of surprise, because Zhao Zhen is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor, the lord of the world, even if he has no power in his hands now, but most people are still trembling when they see him, even if he is an imperial uncle who speaks in front of Zhao Zhen, he has to be a little careful, but he can feel that Li Zhang is extremely relaxed in front of Zhao Zhen, just like a very good friend chatting.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen invited Zhao Yuanyan to sit down, and the three of them chatted while drinking tea, Zhao Yuanyan was indeed erudite, almost omniscient in astronomy and geography, and was also very good at chatting, not to mention Zhao Zhen, even Li Zhang felt that he had a very pleasant chat with each other.

In addition, Zhao Yuanyan also asked some about Li Zhang's envoy to Liao, and Li Zhang had to talk about it again, but he kept some in some places, after all, Zhao Yuanyan was not Zhao Zhen, and some things were still inconvenient for him to know.

"By the way, Li Duwei just came back, so he shouldn't have visited the Queen Mother yet, right?" At this time, Zhao Yuanyan suddenly shifted the topic to Liu E and said.

Li Zhang's heart was also in his heart when he heard this, don't look at him and Zhao Yuanyan seem to have a good conversation, but in fact, he was a little defensive from beginning to end, because this Zhao Yuanyan, as the emperor's uncle, used to pretend to be crazy and stupid to stay in the mansion, but he jumped out when Liu E was sick, and he was so active in front of Zhao Zhen, if he had no ambition, I am afraid no one would believe it.

"Not yet, I came today to ask Your Majesty about the situation of the Queen Mother." Although Li Zhang was wary in his heart, he still replied with a smile on the surface.

"Then you have to visit the Queen Mother, some time ago the Queen Mother was in a fierce condition, for which the Queen Mother also blocked the news, I also got the news with great difficulty, and then immediately went to the palace to visit, but at that time the Queen Mother had fallen into a coma, and although her condition improved, her body was not as good as before." Zhao Yuanyan said with a solemn expression at this time, but Li Zhang always felt that there was a bit of schadenfreude in the depths of his eyes.

Compared with Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Zhen next to him had a complicated expression, and after a long while, he said: "Cousin, if you have time, go to visit the eldest lady, after this serious illness, the eldest lady has aged a lot all of a sudden, and she even needs someone to help her walk, and she is even more nostalgic, often mentioning some people and things back then, if she sees you visiting her, she will definitely be very happy." ”

Zhao Zhen's feelings for Liu E are also very complicated, on the one hand, he thinks that Liu E is his mother, and he is also very dependent on Liu E emotionally, on the other hand, he is already an adult, but Liu E is reluctant to let him be in power, if he doesn't have any ideas in his heart, I'm afraid even he won't believe it.
