"The prince will take the order!" The eunuch smiled at Wu Zhidao.

Wu Zhi kowtowed, thanked the eunuch, waved his hand, two guards came over, one side of the yellow long box, Wu Zhi took it with both hands, and slowly opened the long box, inside was a golden square mace, the whole mace was like a flying dragon, opening its teeth and dancing claws, breaking through the clouds, the dragon head was a mace, and the dragon's tail was the handle.

Wu Zhi held the handle and weighed it, good guy, I'm afraid it's made of pure gold, but it's really heavy enough, and it takes enough strength to not break people's bones and tendons? It seems that if you want to smash people in the future, you have to estimate your strength, otherwise it will not be beautiful to make trouble.

All over the world, Wu Zhi picked up this golden gong with extremely revered symbolism, and his first thought was to smash people, if Zhao Ji knew about it, he would definitely not be able to cry or laugh.

Seeing Wu Zhi put forward the golden gong, the eunuch and the guards subconsciously took a few steps back, Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Please enter the palace to serve tea......

The eunuch shook his head and said with a smile: "The villain still has to go back to the palace to restore the decree...... Don't forget to enter the palace tonight to summon you to discuss matters. ”

Wu Zhi smiled and nodded, and the eunuch led the guards to leave.

Looking at the golden gong in his hand, Wu Zhi sighed, the imperial brother can say to himself, benevolence and righteousness, depriving himself of military power is a last resort, and it is reasonable, in fact, it is also a way to protect himself, if he continues like this, he is afraid that he will either be cut off by the new emperor, or rebel to overthrow Zhao and Song Jiangshan, the best result is also to be a nest next to his power, and the prince has no fourth way to go. Thinking of the imperial brother Yin Yin's entrustment, don't forget the promise of never interfering in military affairs, Wu Zhi smiled and smiled, and the imperial brother thought that he would also leave a secret decree or something, if he really didn't know how to advance or retreat, this head would not be so stable. But he doesn't have the ambition to be emperor. To be able to sit until today, this son is just a matter of the times.

And the royal brother gave himself such glory. It can be said that he thought about his future path very thoughtfully, thinking about it to prevent himself from being ashamed, and hoping that he could assist the Great Song Dynasty in a natural identity in the future without endangering the Zhao and Song dynasties.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Zhi suddenly remembered that he was not the same as the legendary Eight Sages King? Thinking of the refreshing Wu Zhi who saw Cai Jing's head blooming at the place where the golden gong fell, he laughed.

"Ahh Xu Yi, who had just gotten up, suddenly saw Wu Zhi's smile and trembled in his heart. With an exclamation, he sat down on the ground again, Wu Zhi looked back at him, frowned and waved his hand: "Drag it out!" ”

Guards on both sides rushed up. dragged Xu Yi out, Xu Yi's body trembled like sifting chaff, but his heart was greatly relieved. It's good that you didn't open meat with me......

On April 11 of the seventh year of Chongning, Emperor Daojun gave your king Wuzhi a golden mace. Fight the king and fight the ministers, and give the king to the palace not to participate. His Royal Highness did not hesitate to honor the edict to the state capitals and counties in the Great Song Dynasty. The whole country is boiling, the Great Song Dynasty has established itself, and there is no prince who can be so respected, but the noble king has opened a precedent for the Great Song Dynasty.

That night, Zhao Ji saw Wu Zhi in the dormitory, Zhao Ji's complexion was much worse than a few days ago, and when he saw Wu Zhi arrive, despite the persuasion of the imperial doctor, he reluctantly sat up, and the Wang Guifei who served next to him had no choice but to help Zhao Ji put on a thick soft quilt and make Zhao Ji more comfortable.

Zhao Ji waved his hand to signal the eunuch Gong'e to withdraw, and waved his hand to Wang Guifei, who shook her head and said, "The concubine body has to serve the saint." ”

Zhao Ji said slightly unhappily: "I can't die yet, what do I want you to serve?" My second brother and I have a state discussion, so don't you go out soon......"

Wang Guifei's eyes were red, but she shook her head stubbornly.

Anger appeared on Zhao Ji's face, and Wu Zhi hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Huang, make an exception, sister-in-law is also worried about Brother Huang's body." ”

Zhao Ji looked at Wang Guifei for a long time, sighed, nodded slightly, but couldn't help coughing, Wang Guifei hurriedly stroked his chest and rubbed his back, and glanced at Wu Zhi gratefully when he turned his head.

Zhao Ji coughed a few times and shook his head: "It seems that my time is running out......

Wu Zhi looked at Zhao Ji's haggard face, his eyes were hot, and he lowered his head.

"The second brother will cry too?" Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi and smiled: "Alas, don't talk about this, when will the princesses return to Beijing?" ”

Wu Zhi wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled: "I guess it's only a few days." ”

"Well, when the time comes, I will bring it to me, I heard that the princess has all the flowers and moons, and I don't know if it's true or not, haha......"

Wu Zhi smiled and nodded, but the wetness in the corners of his eyes lingered.

"Aifei, you also talk about it, now we have to talk about family affairs, don't be so cautious......" After a few gossips with Wu Zhi, Zhao Ji smiled in his heart and said to Wang Guifei, who had been silent next to him.

Wu Zhi took the opportunity to say: "The imperial sister-in-law's concubine is very active, and she has had a conflict with the imperial sister-in-law's family, and my brother is here to apologize!" As she spoke, she got up and made a joke, and the princess hurriedly got up and shook her head, and said: "Where is the second brother, my relatives are arrogant and domineering, and they don't know how to advance or retreat." ”

Zhao Ji listened to it and smiled with interest: "Qiqiao? Isn't it the one from the Ye family in Jiangnan? Is it the woman who saved the second brother who was married by me in the Wanma Army in Jizhou? ”

Wu Zhi smiled and nodded.

Zhao Ji laughed and said to Wang Guifei: "Then the concubine has to tell the Li family carefully, don't provoke the eldest lady to rise up and smash the Li family to pieces, and then cry and complain to me, I don't care......"

Wang Guifei was stunned when she heard the two of them, and Zhao Ji smiled and said: "It's not that I scared your second brother, this concubine has killed hundreds of Liao people, and I heard that the temper is even more elf, if it is really hot, you don't miss relatives, not relatives, haha......"

Wang Guifei's face changed several times, probably she couldn't have imagined that there would be such a murderer among her "relatives", and she would give birth to her own people without blinking, and her own people would even provoke her. And listening to the meaning of the saint, it seems that he is also extremely partial to this woman, without the slightest hint of blame.

"Brother Huang, don't scare the imperial sister-in-law anymore, Qiqiao is now benevolent, merciful and well-behaved, take her and the imperial sister-in-law to make amends another day, and the imperial sister-in-law will know it at first sight!" Wu Zhi interjected with a smile.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile when he heard Wu Zhi say that Qiqiao was "benevolent and benevolent", isn't this his own comment to her in the holy decree? Xuan Ye smiled: "Benevolence, mercy and goodness is benevolence, kindness and ......"

Wang Guifei saw Zhao Ji talking for a while. The complexion is very good. There was very little cough in the laughter, and then I gradually felt at ease, and I talked and laughed with the two.

"Second brother, how do you think the Hebei incident should be handled?" After talking for a while, Zhao Ji said such a sentence as Wang Gui coldly, and she immediately sat aside with interest and stopped talking.

"Well, naturally, the old system was restored. Set up a left-behind division, but the younger brother felt that the Beiping Mansion could not abolish the system of controlling the Youyun Prefectures, so that the administration could only be made during the Northern Expedition. Multiplier. "Wu Zhi has also been thinking about Hebei affairs for a long time, but Zhao Ji didn't ask him, so he didn't want to bring it up first.

"Yes. I also think the same way, so that the candidates left behind in Beijing really need to be cautious, and they need to choose a loyal and capable person. Yesterday, Yuan Chang and I said that Zimei had been left behind in Beijing for many years, but what did the second brother think? ”

Yuan Chang is Cai Jingdi. Zimei is the character of Liang Zhongshu, Wu Zhi heard Cai Jingbao, Liang Zhongshu is slightly cloudy. I couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Although Zimei didn't know anyone in the past, she also honed it for a few years, and she was also excellent in Beijing at the beginning, but she was a difficult and capable minister." It seems that Zhao Ji is quite moved by Cai Jing's proposal.

"Brother Chen thinks it's inappropriate." Wu Zhi no longer bothered Yu and looked at Zhao Ji and said categorically.

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and smiled: "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Zhi bowed slightly: "The younger brother thinks that Hebei needs to use elite soldiers to understand the talent of Jiage, although the talented Zimei is capable, but he is only a minister who guards the success, if the saint wants to expand the territory, he still needs to choose another talent." ”

"Oh? Is there a candidate for the second brother? Zhao Ji said with a smile.

Wu Zhi only thought about it and said: "The younger brother recommended Zhongjing to stay in Zongze, if he passes through the northern part of the clouds, he will be able to calm down in the near future." ”

Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, looked up at Wu Zhi and smiled, "Enzhen knows that Zong Ze'an Gongtao also recommended him with me......"

"Don't talk about this, did I bring you the gold mace?" Zhao Ji smiled at Wu Zhi and said.

"There is no guy who is weird and heavy, and it is ......inconvenient to hold it," Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, holding it all day long, but he didn't have to get up early every day to work hard, and he didn't have to get up early every day to work hard, and he was afraid that holding a gold gong for a day would be much more effective than getting up early to exercise, but it would be too tiring to think about it.

"What, this guy, that guy knows all day long, gibberish......" Zhao Ji straightened his face and rebuked Wu Zhi.

"Ah yes...... It's the dragon head Jin Gong ......" Wu Zhi hurriedly changed his words, and his embarrassed appearance caused Wang Guifei to laugh, and Zhao Ji immediately smiled......

On April 16 of the seventh year of Chongning, the queen Wang died of illness, the whole country mourned, all the restaurants in Bianjing hung up the white silk, Wu Zhi ran before and after a busy day, Zhao Ji was seriously ill in the royal family, Zhao Ji several brothers and princes were not successful, the queen's funeral was only Wu Zhi and the official of the Ministry of Rites Zhang Luo was busy, and the queen died on this day, Zhao Ji suddenly fainted, and woke up at night, but he was no longer in the old days, and his complexion was groggy all day.

A few days later, on the stone street in front of the Guiwangfu, a motorcade came to the front of the Defu, the carriage and horses stopped, Yingying Yanyan, a group of women entered the palace surrounded by the eunuch Gong'e in front of the door, at this time, the eunuch Gong'e of the Guiwang's Mansion was sluggish countless days ago, one by one, full of spirit, can you not be full of energy? Your king is now the noble prince of all princes, and the palace is the door that hundreds of officials are eager to follow, which prince's palace and eunuch Gong'e can be more powerful than them?

In the backyard, Wu Zhi and the women hugged Gong E one by one, and the accompanying Gong E had long been accustomed to the "etiquette" of the king, so it was not strange to be surprised, snickering, standing aside, some little girls were blushing, and secretly glanced at them from time to time.

"Where's the gold of our family?" Wu Zhi was looking at the affectionate feelings of several women, when his heart was agitated, Qiqiao came over and groped on Wu Zhi, destroying the warm atmosphere created by Wu Zhi, and he was angry and white, Qiqiao glanced at the back building, Nunu's mouth, Qiqiao cheered and ran over.

"Let's go, let's go to the back garden and talk and ignore this crazy girl." Wu Zhi took Jin Lian's hand and walked first, followed by a few women.

In early summer, the flowers in the garden are vibrant, the green grass is in the pavilion, and the women around Wu Zhi are delicate and beautiful, and it is difficult to describe.

"How's Xiang Gongsheng's condition?" Jin Lian asked softly when she saw that Wu Zhi was a little distracted, and the rest of the women also stopped laughing, and looked at Wu Zhi with concern.

Speaking of Zhao Jiwu, Zhidi's expression darkened, and he sighed and shook his head.

"Xianggong, don't think about it anymore. Life and death depend on fate, and the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, and the saint is the son of heaven, and the heavens will arrange it......" Jin Lian took Wu Zhi's hand to comfort.

Wu Zhi nodded silently.

"Ah, I almost forgot that this was a letter from the third sister to Xianggongdi." Jin Lian took out a letter from her arms and sighed: "Before returning to Beijing, I saw the third sister persuade her to resign and wait with me to come to the capital, but the third sister didn't listen...... Xianggong should think of transferring her back to Tokyo. ”

Wu Zhi was stunned. Silently unfolded the pink letterhead, the handwriting was elegant, just like the third sister herself, only one line of words. "The concubine is like a king, and the Northern Expedition makes the king have no regrets."

Smell the faint aroma on the paper. Wu Zhi looked at the north in confusion for a while, and was silent for a long time.

"Xianggong, look at this month's expenses. The tangram has another thousand branches. Xuan Jing took out an account book, and when she was idle, Xuan Jing took care of the accounts of the palace.

"Oh? Just use it. I don't bring money with me. If you don't die, you won't take it......" Wu Zhi shook his head and said that he was stunned and sighed when he said that he would not take it with him when he died.

"Xianggong, in a few days, the palace is going to select Gong'e again, it's funny, it's not yet time, the people who say they are close to have found Zhu'er, but Zhu'er is busy......" Jin Zhi said with a smile.

Wu Zhi saw that the girls were showing their magical powers, and they just wanted to make themselves happy, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, I'm not so sentimental......" and looked at Zhu'er funny: "Zhu'er has become a little matchmaker?" ”

Zhu'er's little face was flushed, and she twisted the corner of her clothes with her hand and whispered, "Zhu'er doesn't want to." ”

Your palace selected Gong E for three years, dismissed the old Gong E, married people, said that she was old, but only ten ** years old, Jin Lian was kind-hearted, and instructed Yi Shan in the house to give more money, and Yi Shan came forward to find a home for the palace E, three years ago, most of the Gong E's people were not bad, but they didn't see much good, they were all small families, and there were some big families who volunteered to go to the big families as concubines, who would be willing to marry the palace and Gong E as a wife?

But this year is different, three years ago, all the palace ladies of your palace were bingqing, and the news spread that there were those palace ladies who went back to the palace to visit relatives, and were allowed to say that they were visiting relatives, but because Zhu'er had a good temperament and most of the palace e's got along, these palace ladies came to see Zhu'er, and they all saw Zhu'er, who felt that it was nothing, but they didn't know how noble their status as a maid in the eyes of outsiders was, and those palace e's husbands immediately ascended to heaven, and their status soared like a rocket.

This year, the palace of your palace is about to be dismissed, many big families can move their minds, and they will use their own means as early as possible, hoping to marry back a noble palace palace and your palace to have some connections, with silver money all over the place, looking for something to talk to Zhu'er, the underground palace E introduced Zhu'er with a good temperament, some people can't bear to refuse, these days have seen at least a dozen noble ladies.

Wu Zhi asked a few words, knowing the clues, he naturally didn't care about these idle things, and said with a smile: "In the future, if anyone asks to see our family again, Zhu'er needs to pay 100,000 yuan in silver!" ”

The girls all laughed and said, "Xianggong is crazy about money." ”

While laughing, a palace lady hurriedly walked into the pavilion and saluted the prince and the princesses: "The prince and the concubine ask to see you!" ”

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Which concubine?" ”

"Slaves don't know ......"

Wu Zhi stood up with a "grace" and said, "Lead the way in front of the head!" ”

Outside the palace, a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes surrounded by more than a dozen girls in palace costumes, led by the guards, into the front mansion, the beautiful woman held a young child carved with pink and jade in her hand, the young child combed two small hairpins on her head, and her black eyes were very delicate, looking around.

"Imperial sister-in-law!" It was Wang Guifei Wu Zhi who was busy greeting.

"The concubine is reckless, don't blame the second brother." Wang Guifei smiled, but she couldn't hide her sorrow.

"What is the imperial sister-in-law? Let's go to the back garden to talk and meet your younger siblings. Wu Zhi smiled and asked Wang Guifei to go first.

"Second uncle?" As soon as Wu Zhi appeared, the child's eyes were fixed on him, and then he suddenly shouted hesitantly.

Wu Zhi was stunned, and Wang Guifei also looked at the young child in surprise, but immediately smiled at Wu Zhi and said: "I have been talking about the second brother, and I heard that the second brother returned to Beijing to make trouble, so I took her to see you." ”

She had already broken free from Concubine Wang's hand and walked towards Wu Zhi, but Wu Zhi had no choice but to pick her up and said with a smile: "Is it so big?" ”

The little guy ignored Wu Zhi and instead leaned his head on Wu Zhi's chest and closed his eyes very happily. Wu Zhi only smiled bitterly, Wang Guifei was a little surprised, but there was a little more joy in her eyes.

Wu Zhi led Wang Guifei to the back garden, and the golden lotus girls hurriedly came over to meet the concubine, Wang Guifei responded with a smile and one by one, and finally said with some curiosity: "Seven...... Who is Tangram? The eyes swept over the delicate faces of the girls, and the eyes were a little flowery, looking at Wu Zhi with a smile, and said with a smile, I don't blame the saint, and when I talked about a few princesses, I really fell into the country and the city.

"Qiao's not here, mother, please take a seat!" Jin Lian was busy replying.

Wang Guifei said with a smile: "Sister, don't call me so, just call me sister-in-law, just ...... we are a family," Jin Lian smiled and said that it was a verbal title, but it was not changed.

A few people sat down, Jin Lian and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Wu Zhi holding the second uncle, and Wang Guifei smiled: "I can't be a mother, this little guy won't come down when he sees the second uncle." ”

Jin Lian smiled and said that fortunately, Qiqiao was not there, otherwise he would have said something: "Xianggong is the most popular woman." "Doesn't that make people laugh to death?

After chatting for a while, the family Chang Jinlian and the daughters all shirked something, and they all got up to say goodbye, everyone knew that Wang Guifei came to see your princess at this time, didn't she say a few words of gossip, it was so simple, the women all had exquisite hearts, and they didn't know how to avoid it?

In the pavilion, only Wu Zhi and Wang Guifei were left, and the palace of Wang Guifei who was sleeping slowly in Wu Zhi's arms was waiting outside the pavilion and couldn't listen to the two of them.

"You and your second brother are quite compatible, if it weren't for the royal rules, I really want you to worship you as your father-in-law." Wang Guifei said with a smile.

Two years ago, Cai Jing proposed to change the princess's title to Emperor Ji, but Zhao Ji rejected it, otherwise she should be called Emperor Roufu.

Wu Zhi is the prince, the daughter will be canonized as the county lord, the son is the county king, and in the third generation, he is the prince of the country, and the county lord is reduced in turn, and the prince accepts the princess as a righteous daughter, which is not allowed to be equal to the Arabian Nights.

"The uncle of the family is closer than the stepfather!" Wu Zhi smiled and pinched her little face, but moved her eyes but didn't open them.

"Ordinary people are uncles and fathers, but it's a pity that she was born in the emperor's ......family," Wang Guifei sighed and shook her head.

Wu Zhi smiled: "What about the emperor's family? Isn't the favorite of the royal brother who can't give up his bloodline the most? Speaking of Zhao Ji, Wu Zhi's heart became heavy again, these days, Wu Zhi has to ban the palace every day, look at Zhao Ji, see Zhao Ji's condition is getting worse day by day, every night Wu Zhi will always get drunk.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that he ......," Wang Guifei wept and shook her head for a long time before she stopped sobbing and said softly: "In the future, the second brother will have to take care of her more, don't let her be bullied......"

Wu Zhi was stunned, and suddenly understood the meaning of Wang Guifei's coming, and frowned silently: "Who wants to bully Xuan?" ”

Wang Guifei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled: "I just suddenly felt something...... I'm worried that in the future, I'll run out of reliant words, just talk nonsense......"

Wu Zhi was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he had to accompany her to act: "If the imperial sister-in-law has something to say, please make it clear that my brother will not let my sister-in-law be bullied!" ”

A flash of joy flashed in Wang Guifei's eyes, and she sighed for a while before she said slowly: "Yesterday, I heard that the Chinese book was written by the province to ask the saint to stand up, and then ......."

Wu Zhi glanced at Wang Guifei a few times and said, "Zhongshu Province? What did he say? ”

"Zhongshu Province proposes to establish the Zheng family as the queen......," Wang Guifei looked pitiful, "Don't hide it from my second brother, I didn't agree with Concubine Zheng before, and the Holy One naturally has nothing to do, if the Holy One is really gone, ......" Wang Guifei said and cried sadly.

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, isn't that what Cai Jing meant? Does he want Concubine Zheng to be the queen mother? Wu Zhi sneered slightly.

Wang Guifei wiped away her tears and said, "When the time comes...... At that time, I am afraid that my orphan and widow will be helpless, and I will not let her bully me...... 瑗瑗...... Slowly, I haven't suffered......" said with tears in her eyes.
