Zhao Yingfu is indeed very lonely, not only does he have no brothers, but he doesn't even have a sister. He is the only heir left of the True Sect.

Despite this, he was not favored, and Zhenzong spent a lot of time praying to the gods and asking questions, and he didn't care about him. Similarly, Empress Liu only regarded him as her political tool and was polite to him on the surface.

In this way, there was really no one in the huge palace who could speak to his heart, until Zhao Xuan appeared. Originally, Zhao Ying thought that Zhao Xuan was just an inconspicuous little Taoist priest.

But after contacting him, I found that this wild Taoist priest was quite ahead of his time, and he was not a simple person.

"Big brother, let's go to the Secret Pavilion and have a look. I heard that there are many books from the previous and current dynasties. Zhao Xuan took Zhao Ying's little hand.

"Second brother, you're making trouble again. What are you doing in the Secret Pavilion? The books in front of me are enough to give me a headache. Zhao Ying glanced at Zhao Xuan.

"That's why I said you're dead studying, so it's not okay." Zhao Xuan shook his head.

"This is a method that has been handed down from ancient times to the present, and how many ministers and ministers have relied on this method to be admitted to the scientific examination."

"Destroy, destroy. Relying on the endorsement of books can rely on the scientific examination, no wonder so many people fail the examination every year. ”

"You, the sage, are you still wrong?"

"I think about how many students came to ask for immortals and pray that God could be admitted in the Taoist Temple of Mount Tai back then, which I was very impressed."

"Hehe, aren't you the first prodigy of Daozang, what's the matter, you don't believe in immortals?" Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Xuan contemptuously, revealing his feet.

"Studying Daozang and believing in immortals are two different things, but I won't be stupid enough to run to Your Majesty and say don't build a palace anymore, don't invite immortals anymore."

"You...... It's despicable enough. Zhao snorted heavily.

"By the way, I'll relieve your boredom, hehe." Zhao Xuan said mischievously.

"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, but this is what Your Majesty said." Zhao Xuan said word by word, with a serious expression.

"This sentence is quite motivating to students all over the world, but for me, it is useless." Zhao Yingying's reaction was cold.

"How can it be useless, this is a famous quote from His Majesty, I have a hunch that this sentence will be passed down through the ages." Zhao Xuan exclaimed.

"Tell me, what is the meaning of this sentence?"

"Of course, if you study, you can be admitted to the Jinshi and become an official, and you will be rich to marry a beautiful woman." Zhao Xuan shrugged his shoulders.

"Do you want to?" Zhao Ying's eyes stared at Zhao Xuan, he was waiting for an answer he wanted, no, it was the answer that all readers in the world would say.

"I don't want to." Zhao Xuan's answer shocked Zhao Yingying.

"Why not? You have a chance to climb to the top now. You've seen the emperors, queens, and princes of today. "Zhao Yingli doesn't believe that Zhao Xuan doesn't love power and wealth.

What is he pretending? Are you afraid that I won't have a good impression of him either?

"Big brother, tell me why you're not interested in these first."

"It's not that I'm not interested, I don't have a choice, I don't have a choice to be born in this palace, like a bird in a cage." "If I can, I am willing to be your eyes and ears and go to see the world outside the palace."

"Pull it down, you are also unable to protect yourself now, enter this palace, and still have a chance to get out?"

"Perhaps, we'll have a chance." Zhao Xuan was full of confidence.

I don't know what nonsense he's talking again.

The Secret Chamber.

It is the period of Taizong to build a pavilion in the middle hall of Chongwen Academy, and the plaque of "Secret Pavilion" is written by Taizong.

As soon as Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ying entered the Secret Pavilion, the Secret Pavilion greeted them.

Before he could speak, Zhao Xuan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to greet him, and walked away in a witty manner.

"Why, you come here so often?" Zhao Yingfu asked.

"Why can't you come to the Secret Pavilion to read the books of the sages?"

"As far as I know, the contents of these books are not readable by people of our age."

"Knowledge knows no age, have you ever seen a prodigy who can read all the articles in the world at a glance?"

"I've heard of a prodigy, and it's the first time I've seen someone as braggart like you."

"Haha, eldest brother understands me, to tell you the truth, only the books in this secret pavilion can barely satisfy my knowledge. I'm a book-lover now. ”

"It's really fake, look at it, you are studying so hard just to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official. I don't admit the sentence that there is a golden house in the book. ”

"No, I'm not studying to be a high-ranking official, I just want to enrich myself."

That's the most serious nonsense I've ever heard. Zhao Yingfu smiled in his heart.

To be honest, he really rarely comes to the Secret Pavilion.

However, Zhao Xuan didn't know how to use some reason to deceive the oracle from His Majesty, and he could actually come and go freely in and out of the Secret Pavilion.

By the way, it must be in the name of consulting Taoist classics.

In fact, I didn't read the Taoist scriptures, but some books on the art of war, astronomy and geography, agriculture and commerce, etc., which were very weird.

What the hell is he trying to do?

"What are your plans for the future?" When Zhao Xuan was flipping through the book, he suddenly asked.

Zhao Yingfu was stunned, and the question caught him off guard.

"Be cautious, talk less and be a good boy, and you can successfully become the future prince, right?" Zhao Xuan said for Zhao Ying.

Yes, this is what Zhao Yingfu wants to say in his heart, between His Majesty and the Empress, he can only be so cautious and subtle.

"What are you worried about? You are the only heir of His Majesty, and he will not pass it on to whom? ”

"Second brother, your words today are a bit excessive, just talk to me about these words, if they reach Your Majesty's ears, you know."

"So I'm just talking to you, I really care about you."

"You care about me? Do you want me to help you say a few kind words in front of Your Majesty? For example, money, real estate, land, or beautiful women? ”

"What's the use of me asking for this, I'm analyzing the current situation for you, big brother, your situation is not good."

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"The emperor is now deeply engaged in asking God to ask, although he has no time to care for you on the surface, but he has not passed on to you for a day, which shows that he still values power. Similarly, the eldest lady Queen Liu is not a simple character, I can feel that her control over you is still very strong. ”

Zhao Yingying was shocked, the second brother's analysis is not unreasonable, if he, an outsider, can see it so clearly, does it mean that everyone in the palace knows his situation.

He is just a pawn in a power struggle.

Historically, the struggle for the throne has been between kings, and although there are no other brothers competing with him for the crown, His Majesty and the Empress obviously have a strong desire for power.

"We'll take a long-term view of this in the future. After that, let's make this secret hall our secret club. Zhao Xuan said mysteriously.

"Looks like you're ready to be my kobold strategist?" Zhao Yingying said with a smile.

"Dog-headed military advisor, what you said is so ugly, it's the chief military advisor, you can treat me as Guan Zhong, Zhuge Liang."

When Zhao Xuan and Zhao Ying were chatting, they suddenly smelled a thick smell of smoke!

It's on fire!

Soon, a lot of smoke came to my nose!

"The door has been locked!"

Zhao Xuan tried to push the door open, but nothing happened.

Who is so bold as to lock the door?

What to do? The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and if you can't escape, you'll die here!
