Chapter 50: Father and Son Meet
The villa that Zhao Gou came to was the "Amber Villa", and the owner of the villa was Uncle Thirteen Wang, a person who had already died, appeared in front of him again, and swore that his identity was revealed, which made him a little unconvinced. After all, the person who was obviously "dead" before he was born actually stood in front of him alive, how could he believe it. However, Zhao Gou believes that there must be something hidden in all this.
"Uncle Wang, how can you be the master of the villa?" Zhao Gou followed behind Zhao Ru, walked in the direction of the palace, and asked loudly: "You are the lord of the villa, then the father must also know about this matter, why have you never heard anyone talk about it?" ”
"What? Now believe that I am your Uncle Wang? Zhao seemed to quip, Zhao Gou scratched his head embarrassedly, and smiled awkwardly, "Okay, don't make fun of you?" ”
Zhao's playful smile gradually converged, and Zhao Gou also listened attentively, and said: "Back then, I was the most favorable competitor to the throne with your father, and then the queen mother supported the imperial brother to ascend the throne as the emperor, and I was also happy, I had no intention of ascending the throne and called the emperor, so I was too tired, dealing with the chapter all day long, and I had to worry about the people of the world and the country, so I didn't want to do it, and I was the same age as the imperial brother, and the imperial brother's literary style was the first among the brothers, and no one could compare with him!" ”
"I'm brave and ruthless, I'm good at martial arts, I'm not a person who can sit still, let me be the emperor, then it's better to kill me! However, some of the ministers supported my accession to the throne as emperor, and later my brother ascended the throne. At that time, the elder brother was full of ambition and had the world in mind, and wanted to let the Great Song Dynasty rise and change the prejudice of the ministers of the court, but it is a pity that since Taizu, the literati and scholars have gained power, and the military generals have less power, so that many military generals abandon the military and follow the literature and choose the path of civil officials. ”
"Seeing that the military generals in the DPRK and China were in low power and had nothing to do, the imperial brother was so anxious that he discussed with me late at night how to face the increasingly powerful civil servants in the DPRK. If a country cannot balance the civil and military forces, there will inevitably be problems, and even the country's strength will gradually decline. Even if his father reused Wang Anshi, supported him to change the law, and wanted to completely change the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't want his father to die young, and finally after the reform, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty was better, and it didn't take long for the first emperor to ascend the throne, and he actually abolished the change, so that the Great Song Wenchen was divided into two factions, the reform faction and the conservative faction, and the struggle between the two factions spread the invisible smoke of gunpowder in the court, and finally this problem has not been solved until now. ”
In desperation, the imperial brother could only let it develop, ignore the government and politics, and immerse himself in calligraphy and painting. It wasn't until one autumn hunt that we met a traveling Taoist who gave the imperial brother a proverb, and then disappeared. The imperial brother looked at the proverbs all day long, and never understood the meaning of it, and the tense situation between the DPRK and China also made the imperial brother have no time to take care of it, and gradually forgot it! ”
"It just so happened that at that time, I was not allowed to enter the court due to illness, and the imperial brother came to visit me personally, explained everything to me, prepared to plan with both hands, and pinned all my hopes on the heirs, and took this opportunity for me to die due to ineffective treatment of illness, and secretly controlled Amber Villa and became the lord of the villa."
Zhao Gou was stunned, staring at Zhao like with wide eyes, and when he heard him talk about his father, he realized that everything was just a play, in order to show the ministers, and asked: "What kind of place is Amber Villa, why don't we even know?" ”
Zhao seemed to be silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "What kind of place is 'Amber Villa', wait until you see the imperial brother and ask again, I can't tell you about this!" ”
Zhao Gou nodded, thinking, "Could it be that there are other secrets in the villa?" Why has there never been such a place in history, and it has not even been recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty, is it a martial arts holy land? ”
Then, Cai Wang Zhao seemed to ask again: "When you left, the imperial brother and I thought that you would come back before the coronation ceremony, but we never thought that you would be four years early!" It's better to come early than to come at a good time, everything is really doomed! ”
"The master passed away not long ago, and he asked me to return to Beijing!" When Zhao Gou thought of Zhou Tong, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said, "Uncle Wang, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhao seemed to hear that a generation of martial arts master Zhou Tong had passed away, and he couldn't help but sigh a little. Zhao seems to have some communication with Zhou Tong back then, and during Zhou Tong's tenure, they also fought each other, as for the result, no one knows, Zhou Tong used to be the head of the 'Amber Villa', and it is also fateful, it is inevitable that he is a little sad: "Things are people, and at the age of Mr. Zhou, it can be regarded as the end of life!" If it's not for the delay, I'm going to pay a visit! Ay...... I'm afraid that no one will discuss with me in the future and exchange martial arts with me! ”
"At the beginning, the imperial brother wanted to balance the dispute between the two factions above the court, and single-handedly supported Cai Jing, and finally collapsed his power, and the imperial brother was in charge alone and spent a few years unharmed. Just a few years after you were away, the imperial brother wanted to repeat the old tricks, use the minister, and use him to balance the forces of the two factions in the DPRK and China, but he never thought that this person was more scheming than Cai Jing, and he was well versed in the way of officialdom. Now, the Great Song Dynasty is regarded as his sole power, and other ministers dare not speak out. ”
Zhao Gou hurriedly said: "This person has a high surname? ”
"How did you know about this person?" Zhao seemed to be extremely surprised, and looked at Zhao Gou suspiciously.
"How can you not know the reputation of Gao Taiwei, he is famous in later generations!" Zhao Gou thought to himself, but said: "Although the little nephew is in Qilin Village, a poor and remote place, Gao Taiwei's name has long been spread in the past, how can he not know this person." Moreover, some people say that he controls the power of the court alone, and even his father is just a puppet, so the little nephew will return to the capital immediately after the expiration of the filial piety period, wanting to see this person's ability. ”
Zhao Ru said with a smile: "If you have this intention, I think the imperial brother will be very happy when he finds out." You are only twelve years old, what can you do, even your father and I can only wait and see, and dare not make it too obvious, so as not to disturb those people and make them take precautions, and then if you want to clear it up, it will be too late! You just obediently stay in the palace and be your prince, don't worry about other things! ”
Whether it was Song Huizong or Zhao Qi, neither of them wanted Zhao Gou to get involved in the dispute between the court and China so early. After all, Zhao Gou is only twelve years old, and he has not even reached the age of crowning, how can his youthful temperament be compared with that of a scheming minister!
Zhao Gou knew their hard work, but he knew that time waited for no one, and if he was waiting, it would be too late, so he replied disapprerovingly: "Uncle Wang, how can you underestimate your nephew!" Didn't Qin have Gan Luo worship at the age of twelve, and his nephew was the same age as him, why couldn't he? ”
Zhao seemed to look at the smiling Zhao Gou with wide eyes, and he was not sure if Zhao Gou was really laughing. Zhao Gou's unwavering eyes made Zhao seem to be frightened again, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Zhao Gou looking at himself with a smile, thinking: "I haven't seen you for six years, I'm only twelve years old, and even I can't figure out what I think in my heart, these years of growth are really worth it for him!" Brother Huang, if you win this time, this son will definitely be able to entrust the person with the heavy responsibility. ”
After a while, Zhao Gou looked at Zhao as if he was back then, climbing over the high wall, and thought: "Uncle Wang, why is it still the same as back then, using the same means, it's really too ungraceful!" ”
"That's how you were taken out of the palace by me back then, it's better to do this, let's try it out, and continue the unfinished battle before, and use this method to see what you can do, how about it?" Zhao Yi smiled.
Zhao Gou clapped his hands and praised: "Good! ”
So, the two of them took advantage of the night, you chased after me, and quickly walked towards Song Huizong's study. Along the way, the two of them knew the road with ease, avoiding many patrolling guards, and went all the way unhindered.
A moment later, the two of them arrived at Song Huizong's study. The two appeared one after the other beside Song Huizong.
Song Huizong smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Gou kindly, and said softly: "Are you back?" It's good to be back, it's good to be back! ”
Zhao Gou knelt on the ground with a 'plop', looked at the familiar face, couldn't help but redden, and said, "Father, the child is back!" ”
After a six-year absence, Zhao Gou met his father for the first time. Looking at the wrinkles on his face, a pair of eyes seemed to be melancholy that could not be dissolved, making him look a little old; Song Huizong's moist eyes looked at Zhao Gou with satisfaction, his eyes were full of appreciation, and he was ecstatic.
