360 Secret fight in the capital

Li Buqi sighed in his heart: It seems that born in the royal family, there are few people who can put the throne in front of them without feeling, and this leftover child really has ambitions.

However, Li Buqi sighed just because he guessed human nature again, in fact, of course he wanted to put himself as a student on the throne. He created this person according to his own purpose, and of course hoped that he could help him transform the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Buqi said slowly: "Your Majesty asked me whether it is better to establish a prince or a virtuous person, and judging from Your Majesty's tone, Your Majesty is still very entangled. I told Your Majesty that I, as your teacher, am a stakeholder and should avoid suspicion in this matter, and if Your Majesty can't decide that it is good to clarify the three issues. ”

"First, what kind of heir does Your Majesty want, and what kind of tasks will be entrusted to him. Second, whether the candidate has the ability to meet His Majesty's requirements. Third, although it is placed last, it is also a very important point, that is, whether the heir can prosper and ensure the smooth continuation of the throne after the official family has suffered from having no children. Your Majesty is now in the peak of spring and autumn, and if you really can't decide, you still have time to investigate slowly. ”

Speaking of this, Li Buqi glanced at Zhao Sheng, and when he saw the corners of Zhao Sheng's mouth hooked, he knew that he understood the key. Sure enough, the people of the old Zhao family are not stupid, but Zhao Guangyi and his children and grandchildren did not use their wisdom in the right place.

The curriculum of the Wubei Academy talks about naturalism, and also talks about the technology of breeding horses, some of which talk about eugenics, Li Buqi talks about the matter of heirs, if Zhao Sheng doesn't understand the meaning, then he must not have listened to the lecture well. Although Li Buqi has not been in the capital for several years, he knows that the fourth prince Zhao Shu now looks like mung bean sprouts, and he is still sick for three days, and Zhang Guifei thinks that her son is weak, and she stops it with a little activity, such a vicious circle, Zhao Shu's body and bones have not been strong, and it is really hard to say whether he can give birth to a son. Zhao Zhen has the pain of being childless, and he will definitely consider this.

It is a big project to make Zhao Sheng the emperor, and it is not something that can be decided with a casual sentence or two. Therefore, Li Buqi decided to find a time to talk carefully with Zhao Sheng, so he first hinted that the matter of establishing the prince would drag on for a long time to stabilize his heart.

Li Buqi is also very busy when he goes home. Parents and wives and children have to be affectionate, and the noble ministers who are familiar with each other in Beijing have to walk around, and they have to show their faces to show their existence in Qingyuan Academy, Wubei Academy and Royal Proving Ground, and this busy two months have passed. What he couldn't shake in the past two months was that he went into the palace every day to take a look at Zhao Zhen, and then comforted the emperor that as long as he relaxed, his body would get better.

Li Buqi is very confident in saying this, because Zhao Zhen is very famous for going crazy, so Li Buqi remembers that it took several years after Zhao Zhen had a stroke for the first time to die, and Zhao Zhen would not be so easy to leave in this time and space. Sure enough, Zhao Zhen lived up to Li Bu's hope, and it may be that Li Bu was by his side, which made him feel a lot more relaxed and his body recovered day by day.

At this time, Zhao Zhen was also in the mood to consider Li Buqi's new position, he wanted Li Buqi to serve as the head of the household department, give full play to Li Buqi's financial skills, and alleviate the overstretched finances of the Great Song Dynasty. Hubu Shilang generally does not need to go out of Beijing, Li Buqi estimates that this is because the emperor wants to keep Li Buqi by his side as a health doctor.

However, Li Buqi estimated that Zhao Zhen might not be able to get his wish, because after Li Buqi returned to Beijing, it seemed that all of a sudden, the situation in Shaanxi became serious, and the Privy Council reported that the Western Xia people had committed crimes in three days. This thing is very strange, because the horses of the Tangut people are all raised by pasture, so in the spring is the time when the horses are the thinnest, at this time the Song army does not provoke the Xixia, the general Tangut people will not take the initiative to attack, and the Tangut people are competing with Linfu Road for the land west of the Quye River, a few days ago they also lured the troops of Linfu to defeat, and now the Xixia does not concentrate on dealing with Linfu Road, but causes trouble everywhere, which is completely inconsistent with the consistent military style of the Tangut people.

He clearly knew that the Tangut people had never stopped harassing the border, but the magistrates on the edge of Shaanxi only reported when the Tangut people invaded the Xixia people in line with the principle that more things are better than less, and now under the strict order of the Privy Council, even the disturbance of 100 people has been reported to the center, so it seems that the Shaanxi border is full of smoke and seems to be very critical.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. The Privy Council is now mainly controlled by Han Qi, and it is his hand to strictly order that no matter how big or small things on the edge of Shaanxi must be reported. Li Buqi can guess with his ass that this is someone looking for a reason to kick himself out of the capital. Who made him Li Buqi a famous general? Some people will definitely say that Li Buqi can turn the tide at the critical moment in Guangnan, so he is also the best candidate to solve the crisis in Shaanxi, and the emperor must also put state affairs first, and he can't treat an important minister as a health care doctor.

Even Zhao Min understood this. After a three-person exercise, Zhao Min finally panted evenly, Zhao Min put his arm around Li Buqi and said worriedly: "Official, are you going to Shaanxi again?" ”

Li Buqi's hand sneered on Zhao Min's smooth back: "Yes, those people are really calculating. I let out the wind and said that I was going to resign and rest for two years and concentrate on spending time with my wife and children, some people thought it was an ulterior motive. Even if I resign from all my official positions, the officials will call me into the palace from time to time, and those people are worried that I will stir up the wind and rain. When the matter of the establishment of the prince was raised, I often brought the leftovers into the palace to ask for peace, which made them very worried. Only when something big happened in Shaanxi, the emperor couldn't stop me from going to Xuanfu Shaanxi. ”

Zhao Min said in disappointment: "In this way, the officials don't know how many years they have to go." ”

At this time, Xing'er on the other side also looked at it with resentment, but Li Buqi smiled and said: "Shaanxi is going, and one of the wishes of your officials is to destroy Western Xia with their own hands." But this time, we're going with our family. Hmph, Lao Tzu went to Guangnan for five years, and when he came back, he couldn't even remember his son, and he delayed Lao Tzu to give birth to several sons. ”

Zhao Min asked in surprise: "How is it possible?" When the official goes to Shaanxi, he must be a guard with troops. It is customary in the imperial court that the family members of the ministers must be in Beijing or their hometown, but they have never seen anyone take office with their families. The most officials can do is to take Yinghui or Yingniang there. ”

Li Buqi said: "This time, anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on, where are the rules?" If you talk about the rules, I have a relationship with the folded family, and I still need to avoid it. There's a good reason why I didn't go. Even if they pressed me with righteousness, Lao Tzu was born and died in the land of Guangnan miasma for five years, and he was kicked to Shaanxi as soon as he came back, and the conscience of heaven and earth, they were also in a tight position. And at this time, they are in a hurry to drive me away, your family officials are thick-skinned enough, as long as they play tricks, they are not afraid that they will not give in. When the time comes, your official will take you to Shaanxi to play. ”

Zhao Min raised his hand and poked Xing'er, who willingly put on her clothes and went to the outhouse to watch. Zhao Min asked Li Buqi in a low voice: "What do the officials think about this matter?" Is there a chance that the rest of the children will win? ”

Li Buqi thought about it, or handed it over to Zhao Min, and also lowered his voice and said: "The official family should still have a few years to go, and forcing the official family to establish a reserve at this time will inevitably make the official family have a rebellious mentality, so this matter can't be rushed." But even if it drags on for a few years, I'm afraid that the rest of the children will have no chance of winning for the time being. There were too many officials who took Yu'er out of the palace back then, and these people didn't dare to let Yu'er succeed him anyway. The new generation of officials has not yet grown up, and the official family is very wary of the queen, and the queen can't talk casually, and the strength to support the rest is not enough. Today's official family is not firm, once the ministers say a word, the official family does not dare to appoint the remaining son as the prince. However, it is estimated that as long as the remaining children can endure for a few years, they may not have the possibility of succession. ”

Zhao Min asked strangely: "The new monarchs have all succeeded to the throne, how can the rest of the children still have the possibility of succession?" ”

Li Buqi said: "The fourth prince is a sick man with yin deficiency and fire, and I see that he has a beard at a young age, and his Adam's apple has also grown. It is estimated that Zhang Guifei loves her son and eats a lot of ginseng and royal jelly for him. I don't want to say how long such a person can live, I'm just afraid that he may not even be able to give birth to a normal child. Once he is gone, there will be no queen, and the current official family will only have two sons. ”

"Do the officials want to wait for the leftovers? The official should have a good talk with Yu'er. The slave family listened to the meaning of the leftovers, and was afraid that they would be locked up in the high walls of the 'good relatives house'. ”

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin implemented a system of benevolence to the descendants of the Zhao family, and all men who were not emperors built a house to raise, although they had no worries about food and clothing, and they were high-ranking officials, but they did not have freedom of action, and they could only live in the high walls all their lives. In the past few years, many scientific discoveries have emerged from the two big mansions that raised the descendants of the Zhao family, which shows how idle and boring these descendants of the Zhao family are. This kind of life must be terrible to think about for Zhao Sheng, who is already accustomed to freedom, and Li Buqi can imagine that even if it is for his own own sake, Zhao Sheng will definitely spare no effort to fight for the throne.

Li Buqi smiled and said: "It's not a way to just wait, if you can force the four princes and the group of people who support the four princes to make mistakes, it's best." Do you know why Taizong rushed to the Northern Expedition back then? I'm going to repeat the story of that year, and this time it's a good opportunity to go to Shaanxi. In a few days, I will talk carefully with Yu'er and ask him to go to Shaanxi with me, and don't go to the muddy waters of the capital. ”
