On the first day of May in the first year of Daguan, that is, June 12, 1107 AD, the day Zhao Gou was born. In Zhao Gou's memory, his biological mother was only named Wanrong in the second year of Daguan. Now, it has been a year earlier, especially since there is no record in the history books that Song Huizong Zhao Ji has a special appreciation for him.

If Zhao Gou is born and is appreciated by Zhao Ji, the next emperor must be Zhao Gou, not Zhao Heng. Zhao Gou fell asleep again in a daze, even though he was thirty years old, his body was still a newborn baby, with delicate skin and a pink face, like a porcelain doll, and he fell asleep soundly.

Webster was weak after giving birth and fell asleep deeply. No matter how much she worried, it didn't help. Song Huizong gave it to her, and she was powerless to refuse. After all, her body was weak and her spirit was exhausted, so she also hugged Zhao Gou and fell asleep. It's just because when Zhao Gou was born, it was not a natural birth, but a difficult birth, and it was also her first time as a mother.

"Why, Your Majesty is so kind to the Nine Emperor Princes?"

Song Huizong Zhao Jilong left in a hurry, followed by the eunuch bowed his head and pondered. He has been by Zhao Ji's side for a long time and has always won Zhao Ji's trust. From a eunuch to an existence below one person and above ten thousand, I felt a little proud in my heart. I thought I knew everything about Song Huizong, but I still didn't understand Zhao Ji's mind.

"Except for the birth of the eldest son of the emperor, His Majesty was ecstatic, and the other princes and princesses were born, and the emperor was also excited, but he did not behave abnormally, nor was he ecstatic. Now, after the birth of the Nine Emperor Princes, he has actually been favored by the emperor, and even Wei Jieshu has been favored and graceful. ”

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was in a very good mood, strode forward with a smile on his face, secretly glanced at the eunuch beside him, saw him frowning, smiled indifferently, and asked, "What is Aiqing worried about?" ”

The eunuch bowed down and wondered, "Your Majesty, why are you so fond of the Nine Emperor Princes?" Aren't you worried about the queen's mother, Concubine Jin's mother is not easy to explain? ”

"There is no need to worry about this matter, I have my own arrangements!" Song Huizong Zhao Ji smiled and said lightly: "I'm tired, go back and rest!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly asked, "Is the emperor going to the queen, or is it the bedroom of Concubine Jin?" ”

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired, go back to the study, I don't want anyone to disturb me!" ”

The eunuch was taken aback, he knew that Song Huizong liked poetry, and he also liked the ink treasures of literati and scholars. However, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong also did not go to the harem for the first time, but went to the study. He asked himself about Zhao Ji's preferences and personality and his understanding, and he couldn't figure it out at this moment.

It wasn't until Song Huizong's figure and Zhao Ji walked away that he followed, and when Zhao Ji really stepped into the study, he believed that what Song Huizong said was true. He hurriedly followed, but Song Huizong asked him to wait outside, and he didn't let anyone go to disturb him. So, he could only stay outside the door, waiting quietly, he called the eunuch beside him to come over, whispered a few words, and saw the eunuch leave in a hurry.

After Song Huizong Zhao Ji returned to the study, he locked the door directly, and even the calligraphy and paintings he liked on weekdays were abandoned, ignored them, and fiddled around in a disorderly manner. Zhao Ji searched through the many paintings and calligraphy for a long time, it seemed that he was looking for something, his brows were tightened, he thought for a while and looked for it again, and muttered: "Why not?" I remember to put it in the study, did I just throw it away and disappear? ”

"Finally found it!" Zhao Ji searched for half an hour, and finally found a broken yellowed piece of paper, only to see that it was written: "Cover the coffin, merit and crime; The vast sea is peaceful, and the century-old foundation is like a dream; The gold powder of the Southern Dynasty is peaceful spring, and the mountains and rivers are green everywhere. ”

Zhao Ji of Song Huizong muttered silently: "Back then, when I traveled and had not yet ascended the throne as emperor, an old Taoist priest once gave me a prophecy, indicating the future of the Great Song Dynasty. I remember that at that time, that person once said that only one person can solve the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty, and this person is not me, but my child. ”

"At the beginning, when I saw Heng'er born, I thought it was him, and I was ecstatic, and finally found out that Heng'er was not what the Taoist priest said. I was disappointed again and again, but I didn't expect the ninth son to remind me of what the old Taoist priest said. I have never believed in the words of Taoists, and only followed the teachings of Buddhism, but I didn't want the old Taoist priest to be right. ”

"Since the day I ascended the throne, the fortunes of the country have been declining day by day, there are strong enemies outside, there are troubles inside, the people are full of grievances, and the Great Song Dynasty is in danger. There are some things that I can't do powerlessly, so I can only go with the flow and place my affection on the literati and artists, which is not what I want. As the eighth monarch of the Great Song Dynasty and a descendant of the Zhao family, the law of the ancestors cannot be broken, and my mistakes are also! ”

"I never thought that seven years later, I finally waited for the Zhao family's rivers and mountains to be green everywhere. The old Taoist priest once said that the day of chaos in the world is not far away, I thought he was alarmist, and with the current trend of the Great Song Dynasty, it must be chaos. I have no power to return to the sky, I can only rely on you, the only thing I can do is to protect you, let you go on your own way, lead the Great Song Dynasty to rise again, and achieve the goal that the ancestors did not achieve. Even if I have a bad reputation after my death, so what, everything just needs the Zhao family to be safe and stable, and the world is peaceful. ”

Song Huizong whispered, the gloomy clouds seemed to be clear and the blue sky, everything suddenly became clear, and he waited for seven years. finally waited for the person who inherited the unification, and that person was Zhao Gou who was still in infancy. Zhao Ji's eyes were slightly comforted, he smiled slightly, took the candle, and directly put the yellow paper in the brazier and burned it, turning it into ashes.

"Someone!" Song Huizong looked at the yellow note that turned into a pile of ashes, and shouted violently, the eunuch outside the door kept his ears sticking to it, trying to hear what Zhao Ji was doing, but it was too obvious that it was not easy to do. It just so happened that Song Huizong Zhao Ji's voice came, and he hurriedly rushed in, only to see Zhao Ji say sharply: "Spread my will, let Master Tong, Lord Cai and others enter the palace!" ”、

The eunuch hurried out, and ordered the other eunuchs to go to the mansions of the various lords. The guards in the palace all stared wide-eyed, unaware of what was happening. After Song Huizong watched them go down in a hurry, he said in a low voice: "For so many years, I have always turned a blind eye and never bothered with you, so I will use this matter to see what you think. If I harbor evil intentions, I will kill them. ”

An hour later, everyone came to Song Huizong's study in court clothes, knelt on the ground respectfully, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Song Huizong smiled slightly, motioned for everyone to get up, and wrote lightly: "Aiqing, I am very happy to have the prince today. Let Aiqing come here today, is it to think about what name this son uses? I don't know, Zhongqing has good suggestions! If it is in line with my intentions, there will be a lot of rewards! ”

As the prime minister, Cai Jing had already learned that Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was particularly fond of the Nine Emperors, and he also learned about it from Yang Jian, the eunuch beside Zhao Ji. Because Cai Jing is exquisite, and he writes good calligraphy, he won the trust of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong. Nowadays, you are the right servant and the servant of the door, that is, the right minister.

Cai Jing learned that Song Huizong loved the Nine Emperor Princes, that is, the princes born to Wei Jieshu, but he never thought that Zhao Ji would summon important ministers for the name of the Nine Emperor Princes, and even he, the right minister, was urgently summoned to the palace. Although he was prepared in his heart and saw Zhao Ji's liking for the Nine Emperors with his own eyes, Cai Jing was still a little surprised.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji glanced at it, saw Cai Jing who bowed his head and was silent, and said with a pleasant face: "Aiqing, you have a lot of ideas on weekdays, and you are stylish, why don't you share your worries and think of a name for Lao Jiu?" ”

Cai Jing was in a cold sweat, and he did have some ability. If it was someone else, he would definitely be complacent, but when these words came out of Zhao Ji's mouth, he chuckled in his heart, and said honestly: "Compared with the emperor, the minister's literary style is really an unpopular thing, with the emperor here, how dare the minister be literary and elegant!" ”

Cai Jing's words are not wrong, when it comes to literary style and poetry, no one can compare with the current emperor Zhao Ji, just like the demeanor of Empress Li. At the beginning, before the birth of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, his father Song Shenzong went to the secretary province to watch the portrait of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and looked at the portrait of Li Houzhu, and saw that he looked elegant, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Soon after, Zhao Ji was born.

Maybe Zhao Ji is really the reincarnation of Empress Li, and he does have the shadow of Li Yu on his body. Zhao Ji of Song Huizong has been fond of pen and ink, danqing, horseback riding, archery, and juju since childhood, and has a strong interest in exotic flowers and stones, birds and animals, especially in calligraphy and painting, and shows extraordinary talent.

Cai Jing's words made Zhao Ji a little proud, and laughed loudly: "I have already thought about the name of Lao Jiu, and when it is a hundred days, I will announce it in public!" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, looked at each other, surprised, and thought, "The Nine Emperors can actually get the name of the emperor himself?" ”
