The body of the housekeeper of the Yan Wangfu was placed in the Yamen of the Imperial City, and it took only half a pillar of incense to verify the cause of death.

was blocked by a sword, through the neck!

There were also two witnesses at the scene, the house slave who accompanied the housekeeper back to the house in the Yanwang Mansion, and saw the assassin assassinate the housekeeper at the corner of the street with a sword.

The assassin was thin, dressed in black, with a full beard, usually the bearded people were big men, but this assassin was full of rough faces, but he was thin and small, and he was good at light weight, and after killing people, he flew up to the roof and fled.

When the Imperial City Division's officials heard the news and climbed onto the roof, they saw that the bloodstained black clothes were thrown on the roof, and the assassin was long gone.

The facts of the case are simple and clear, but it is almost useless, the assassin is gone, the huge Bianliang City, more than a million people, to find such a person, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack!

Although the Yanwang Mansion has a suspicion, it is useless.

There is not enough evidence, there is no official decree, and the Imperial City Division does not dare to search the mansion of the children of the clan, not to mention that the children of the clan have just been personally received by the official family, and they have been promoted to another level without exception.

Although the Yanwang Mansion is powerful, it also has to pay attention to the rules, and without the edict of the official family, the Imperial City Division can only investigate and arrest this matter according to ordinary criminal cases, and will never dare to search the mansion of a clan disciple without evidence.

Although Zhao Yu, the king of Yan, was so angry that his face was blue, he was helpless.

However, the grievances between Yan Wangfu and Zhao Hao did not end with the assassination of the officials of Yan Wangfu.

That night, the precious snowflake horse in King Yan's mansion suddenly and inexplicably died......

In King Yan's bedroom, five pythons suddenly rushed in, causing Princess Yan to faint on the spot, and King Yan was also so frightened that she was urinating.

Overnight, bad luck was repeated.

Yan Wang Zhao Yu finally felt the ruthlessness and power of the opponent, this is a completely unequal duel, his own side is in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and the means are endless.

He never expected that a seventeen-year-old boy would be so ruthless in his methods, and he suffered from no evidence. Although he is a prince, when he encounters this desperate opponent, like a shoe-wearing person meets a barefoot one, he has a little jealousy in his heart after all, so he has to temporarily restrain himself.

Because he finally knew that there was no certainty of winning with one blow against this kind of opponent, he could only follow the light and wait for the opportunity, otherwise he would suffer unscrupulous and endless retaliation.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao also stopped and didn't go any further, after all, he went too far, and it was harmful to his own plans, so the battle between him and Zongzheng finally came to an end temporarily.

However, the battle is not over, and the opponent is just waiting for a fatal opportunity.

……

The official family summoned Zhao Hao again.

Within a few days, he was summoned twice alone, and there were all the eyes of the powerful in the palace, and Zhao Hao, who was originally an inconspicuous distant disciple of the clan, gradually entered the field of vision of civil and military officials.

Dressed in a vermilion official robe and wearing a long-winged official hat, Zhao Hao came proudly, although the official hat of the Song Dynasty was nondescript, and the official robe was too fat, but it still looked brilliant and extraordinary on Zhao Hao's body, and Liang Shicheng, who came to greet him, was stunned.

"This son is extraordinary, and he doesn't seem to be a thing in the pool...... It's a pity that it's a distant clan. ”

In fact, Zhao Hao is one thing to have a handsome face and a slender figure, but there are not a few handsome officials among the officials, and the important thing is that his bearing is really different. Among the hundreds of officials who enter the palace, they either show a humble and diligent spirit, or show a color that they do not meet with talents, or show a shrewd and calculating appearance, or show a complacent attitude, and they are in a variety of postures, but they are inevitably vulgar. And this Zhao Gongzi has a little more free and easy, a little detachment, a little wisdom in his hands, and a bit of domineering in the world, which makes Liang Shicheng, who is known as the hidden phase, feel broken.

In the light sound of chime, Zhao Hao Shi Ran walked into the quiet room of Funing Palace, calm and relaxed on the surface, but in fact, there was a slight nervousness in his heart.

Today's fight is the key to entanglement Zhao Ji!

Whether it is the beauty of the Qinglou, the ability to bow, the poetry, calligraphy and painting, they are all small skills, although they can get Zhao Ji's favor, but it all depends on Zhao Ji's mood, only today's things can make Zhao Ji want to stop.

In the quiet room full of cigarette smoke and splendid gold and jade, Zhao Ji sat on the cloud platform with his eyes closed, very fairy, and there was no obstacle in the world.

Zhao Hao slowly walked to His Majesty Bai Yudan, bent down and bowed: "Meet the official." ”

On the gimbal, Zhao Ji neither opened his eyes nor spoke, his face was mysterious and solemn, if it was someone else, he would have panicked, but Zhao Hao stood calmly and solemnly, waiting for Zhao Ji's consent.

What can be terrible about a beast that has fallen into a trap...... If you don't believe him, Zhao Ji dares to let go of this opportunity to make himself disease-free and disaster-free, and prolong his life.

Emperor, in addition to the throne, the most important thing is longevity, the biggest dream is immortality, starting from the first emperor Qin Shi Huang, no one can be an exception......

Liang Shicheng stood beside Zhao Ji, and he also looked like a clay carved wood sculpture. The three of them in the quiet room were silent for a relative unknown amount of time, and Liang Shicheng felt that the heat was almost over, so he stepped forward lightly and called in Zhao Ji's ear in a low voice: "Please sage collect merit, Hao Gongzi asks to see." ”

Zhao Ji opened his eyes slightly, did not look at Zhao Hao, but said to Liang Shicheng: "You go out." ”

Liang Shicheng was stunned, his mouth opened, he didn't speak after all, he retreated in a low voice and came out quietly.

There were only two people left in the room, Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji, and Zhao Hao suddenly had a strange thought in his heart - if he assassinated Zhao Ji at this moment, with his own force, the opponent would have no reason.

It's just that this doesn't mean much, Zhao Ji is dead, but he is replaced by Zhao Huan to come to power, and his own force of less than 80 will be hacked to death as soon as he goes out.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a soft shout came from his head: "Bold Zhao Hao, deceive the king, are you guilty?" ”

Zhao Hao pretended to be confused and pretended to be surprised, and asked: "The minister's loyalty to the official family can be expressed every day, I don't know where the crime comes from?" ”

Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said, "You falsely claimed to Mr. Yuan Miao and Chong Hezi Immortal that the Dharma Protector God came to the world, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Hao's face was indifferent, and he said unhurriedly: "Since the minister in Jiangnan, he has never seen Chong and Zixian Dao, as for Mr. Yuan Miao, he has never met, how can he lie to it, and ask the official family to investigate." ”

Zhao Ji said in a deep voice: "The two immortals said that you have the ability to drive away diseases and eliminate disasters, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Hao smiled slightly, did not speak, but sat up on the spot, his eyes slightly closed, and there were words in his mouth.

In an instant, Zhao Ji's face changed slightly.

A warm current swells up from the soles of the feet, like a hot spring, rushing through the soles of the feet, knee joints, and then from the abdomen to the lumbar spine, the warm and comfortable feeling is wonderful, and the numbness in the legs and the soreness in the lumbar spine caused by years of meditation seem to be greatly relieved.

Then the second strand surged from the abdomen and spread to the limbs, and the whole body felt like soaking in a hot spring in winter, and the taste was simply wonderful.

Third, fourth, fifth......

After the five warm currents, Zhao Ji only felt that his whole body was refreshed, his whole body was comfortable, and the feeling was simply fluttering, and the whole person became radiant, full of energy, and his whole body was full of infinite vitality.

After a long time, Zhao Ji got out of the feeling of ascending to the immortal, and his face already showed a look of surprise. At the age of approaching forty years old, his usual life is inappropriate, and a small ache and pain in his body is inevitable, but at this moment, he feels that all the soreness and numbness in his body are passed by the warm current, and the unpleasant feeling is all gone.

Dispelling diseases and eliminating disasters really lives up to its name......

Zhao Ji, who was originally dedicated to the Dao, was convinced of Zhao Hao's statement that the Dharma Protector God was descending to earth at this moment, and he became more and more firm in his Dao heart...... After all, although Lin Lingsu and Wang Wenqing's immortal skills were subtle, they did not bring him substantial benefits, while Zhao Hao's immortal skills made him really feel the benefits of Taoism.

"My nephew is really my protector god...... I have my nephew, like adding half of the country! ”

At this moment, Zhao Ji was so excited that he became incoherent.

Zhao Hao scolded this fool in his heart, and at the same time showed a pious and solemn expression: "It is an honor for a minister to be able to protect the Dharma for the saint!" ”

Zhao Ji saw that Zhao Hao was so low-key and respectful, and his heart became more and more happy, and then looked at Zhao Hao carefully, only to feel that this son was like a crown of jade, and his aura was lofty, and he was really a dragon and phoenix among people, and he was good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, versatile, and sighed slightly: "If you can get a son like this, what more can you ask for?" Fortunately, he is a member of my Zhao family......"

At this moment, Zhao Ji, looking at how Zhao Hao looks at it, is very pleasing to the eye, and he can't wait to accept him as a righteous son, but his own son is already in his twenties, and if he accepts another righteous son, it will inevitably be a bit shocking, so he has to give up.

But what Zhao Hao thought in his heart was a different scene...... This idiot has finally taken the bait!

When Zhao Hao walked out of the quiet room, Liang Shicheng, who was waiting at the door, was so shocked that his mouth opened.

The distant prince of the clan was holding Zhao Ji's imperial jasper whisk dust, and the official Zhao Ji actually sent it to the door in person.

The jasper whisk is a treasure that the official family can't put down, and it was given to Zhao Hao, and the official family actually sent it to the door in person, even if her husband Cai Jing has not enjoyed this treatment.

In comparison, the official family let himself intend to worship Zhao Hao as the doctor Taizhong from the fourth rank of civil officials, and the military attache from the fourth rank General Xuanwei, which is nothing.

At this moment, for Liang Shicheng, although he was a little jealous and sour in his heart, it was not a bad thing. He and Tong Guan and Wang Hao are in the same party against Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others, and Zhao Hao is the person Tong Guan has been entrusting him to take care of in recent days, so Zhao Hao is his party.

Zhao Hao, the son of the clan, was summoned twice in five days by the official family, and the official was promoted to three levels in a row, and was dusted by the royal jasper, and he also enjoyed the grace of the official family at the door.

These news soon spread out from the deep palace, and spread throughout the circle of powerful people above the third grade overnight, setting off a huge wave.

Within the Jingshi, there were many factions, literati, warriors, Taoist priests, clans, eunuchs...... Countless parties fight openly and secretly on weekdays, but now Zhao Hao is suddenly favored, like a stone, stirring up a thousand waves.

And Zhao Hao, who walked out of the palace, finally let out a long breath in his heart.

At this moment, he can really gain a firm foothold in the imperial city and gain an invincible foothold...... As long as he is not caught for the current crime of rebellion, even if it is a big thing, Zhao Ji will only turn a blind eye.

Thinking about it, it is an extremely ridiculous thing, he is bent on seizing the throne of Zhao Ji's father and son, and on the other hand, he has to rely on Zhao Ji's power to gain a foothold and fight......
