Rongwang Mansion, in the southern imperial city of Lin'an City, under the root of the princes and nobles, high-ranking officials and dignitaries formed a large area of mansions, is not very prominent. The regulations are only barely in line with the identity of the prince, and in four words, it is decent.

The decent mansion is also like the only prince of the Great Song Dynasty, the decent Rong Wang Zhao and Rui.

If you say who is the most noble in the Great Song Dynasty, there is no doubt that only the current emperor Lizong Zhao Yun is undoubted. As for the second, in addition to Prince Rong Zhao and Rui, Jia Guifei, who is now pregnant with Zhao Yun's blood, should also be regarded as one of them.

Of course, it is not common for Jia Guifei to be pregnant, but Prince Rong is always there, and there is only one.

Zhao and Rui are only three years younger than their brother Zhao Yun. When Zhao Yun was seven years old and Zhao and Rui were four years old, their father Zhao Xitong left the West, leaving behind their mother Quan and their two brothers.

Although Zhao Xitong is a relative of the Zhao family, he is a distant branch of the side, Zhao Xitong is just a Jiupin county lieutenant, if nothing else, when it comes to the generation of Zhao Yun and Zhao and Rui, the two of them don't even have the qualifications of Yin Hei.

However, the world is unpredictable, Zhao Yun entered Shi Miyuan's eyes under the recommendation of Yu Tianxi, and finally changed his name to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Zhao Yun ascended the throne and posthumously crowned his biological father Zhao Xilu as King Rong, Zhao Xitong died a long time ago, and Zhao and Rui also succeeded to the throne of Rong because of the identity of King Rong's heirs, becoming the most honorable person under this emperor Zhao Yun.

Maybe it was the life of being displaced and sending people under the fence when he was a child that made Zhao and Rui very content with the status and life of Prince Rong today, or maybe it was because Zhao and Rui knew that they were not talented enough, so he can be said to be the most low-key prince since the Song Dynasty. In the Li Dynasty of Li Zong, as the only Zhao and Rui with the status of princes, no matter how low-key they were, no one could ignore them.

Fortunately, Zhao and Rui basically don't go out of the door, not only have they never done anything arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women, but they even have very few wives and concubines, so far in addition to Princess Rong, they have only accepted two side concubines, and these two side concubines are also Princess Rong's personal maids when she left the cabinet.

The prince has done this part, and Zhao and Rui are indeed a very strange prince. Of course, the wind review is naturally very good among the people.

As the only younger brother of the current emperor and the only prince of the Great Song Dynasty, there is naturally nothing that can make Zhao and Rui embarrassed. However, today, Zhao and Rui are rarely a little embarrassed, and even a little worried.

As for the reason for the difficulty, it is the thin piece of paper on the bookcase.

It was an edict from the Inner Court that had been sent not long ago.

Under him, there sat a handsome middle-aged scholar with three long beards. Dressed in a simple green robe, there is nothing else to grow. But it is obvious that he has no official status.

"Mr. Yuan?"

After waiting for a long time, Zhao and Rui saw that the middle-aged scholar sitting below didn't say a word for a long time, and couldn't help but remind. Wait a little longer, Jia Shixian is coming, and you have to think of a way to deal with it. "Lord Wang, do you remember the official family's message to the prince last night?"

Yuan Jing smiled slightly, brushed the three long strands of hair on his chin, and said with a faint smile.

"This king remembers it. The royal brother ordered the king to enter the palace today to face the saint and hand over the affairs of the detective department with Najia Shixian. Zhao Yourui nodded and said. That's where he wonders now.

"Then the prince is now puzzled, why did the official family order the prince to invite Uncle Jia Guo to the palace to hand over the affairs of the detective department? Oh, and there is also the order of the prince to send someone to assist Uncle Najia in the affairs of the Acting Investigation Department. ”

"Exactly."

"Hehe, it seems that the saint is really a suspicious person today." Yuan Jing did not have any taboos at all because his current master was the younger brother of the current emperor, and he said unhurriedly, and there was even a bit of schadenfreude in his words.

As for Zhao and Rui, they didn't seem to hear the words of the chief Xixi in their palace at all, and looked at Yuan Jing quietly, obviously waiting for him to continue.

Regarding Yuan Jing's temperament, Zhao and Rui are very clear.

Speaking of which, the acquaintance between the two is actually very dramatic. One day, when Zhao and Rui quietly went to Changsha to play, of course, this quietly just said that it was not a big fanfare, at least Zhao Yun and the important ministers of the court still knew the way. After all, if the prince leaves Beijing, if there is no emperor's approval, it will be a loss of head.

When Zhao and Rui went shopping in small clothes, they happened to meet a middle-aged scholar dressed in tatters...... No, it would be more appropriate to say that a middle-aged beggar is scolding in front of the county yamen.

The person who scolds is naturally the county master who lives in the county office.

Then the fate of this middle-aged scholar can be imagined, after being beaten violently, he was thrown on the side of the road.

This is the first time the two have met.

The second time, that is, the next day, was still in front of the county yamen, still the same person, still the same result, Zhao and Rui saw the middle-aged beggar with a blue nose and swollen face lying on the side of the road again.

Then, on the third day......

Then, Zhao and Rui Ghost sent the gods up to ask the reason. The reason is that Zhao and Rui are a little crying and laughing. It turned out that the reason why the middle-aged beggar scolded the county lord was only because the county lord seduced a woman from a good family but did not give others a name......

Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with this middle-aged scholar. Zhao and Rui also knew at that time, why did this middle-aged beggar scold the county master for being beaten up, and he didn't even have internal injuries, because this middle-aged scholar was still Xie Yuan's body.

The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was divided into three levels: state examination, provincial examination, and palace examination. Every autumn, the states conduct state examinations, and in the spring of the following year, the Ministry of Rites conducts examinations, that is, provincial examinations, and after the provincial examinations, the palace examinations are held in the same year, and then those protégés of the emperor who have won the jinshi are directly conferred on officials.

Then, the county lord's official was naturally gone. And Yuan Jing, who was the middle-aged scholar, became the chief Xixi in the palace of Zhao and Rui. As for why Yuan Jing did not participate in the provincial examination and the palace examination, Zhao and Rui had also asked curiously, but Yuan Jing only replied lightly, "I don't want to!" ”。

With the deepening of understanding, Zhao Yourui actually knows very well that Xie Yuan Xixi, who is dissolute and sometimes even dissatisfied with himself, is actually much more talented than many people who have won the Jinshi. It's just that for some reason, he has been reluctant to enter the court as an official.

"Don't blame the prince. As for the official family, he should have been happy with Uncle Jia's great achievements last night, so he just pushed the boat down the river and gave him Uncle Jia Guo, who didn't want to hand over the detective department to the prince. So, there was this oracle that came last night. Hehe, but, after sleeping all night, the official family may have been a little uneasy about Uncle Najia, and then there is today's handiwork. ”

After Yuan Jing finished speaking, he shook his head and laughed strangely, but he didn't know what Lu Dao thought of again. After half a ring, I looked up and saw Zhao and Rui still looking at me quietly.

"None?" Zhao and Rui looked at Yuan Jing in surprise.

"......" Yuan Jing rolled his eyes, "Lord Wang, you still don't understand?" ”

"Understand what?"

"The official's mind is on these two edicts. He is not at ease with the prince, nor is he at ease with Uncle Najia. Therefore, let the prince and Uncle Najia clamp each other and take charge of the detective department together. ”

"What do you mean by the imperial brother, can you let this king be a subordinate to Na Jia Shixian?"

“…… The prince has been in charge of the Detective Department for so many years, although most of the people in the Detective Department are the emperor's people, but there are always his own people, right? Wouldn't it be better to find a trustworthy person and fight against Uncle Jia? ”

"Oh, that's how it works." Zhao and Rui seemed to understand a little, "Who is the king of this book?" ”

"You can ...... whoever the prince wants" At this time, Yuan Jing found that Zhao and Rui were staring at him with burning eyes, and his heart suddenly moved, and he pointed at himself with a surprised face: "Does the prince want me?" Halfway through the words, Yuan Jing had already shaken his head like a rattle, and said again and again: "No...... Not...... This is definitely not possible! ”

"Why not?" Zhao Yourui had a little smile on his face.

"Lord Wang, don't blame me Lao Yuan. Lao Yuan said that the party struggle will not be eliminated, and Lao Yuan would rather let what he has learned be brought into the coffin than become an official in the court. Yuan Jing was resolute.

"That Uncle Jia, this king has also heard of it. It is said that he was famous for his flamboyance and domineering, although there are some talents, but that's all. But I never thought that after the catastrophe, I would be judged as two people. Qionglin banquet, this king is also here, according to this king, this Uncle Jia is really a wonderful person, and the master doesn't want to make friends? ”

Zhao and Rui are extremely young, and the prince of more than ten years, although his talent may be really limited, it is absolutely impossible to really be a straw bale prince. Just now, Yuan Jing was just distracted by something and didn't pay attention to his trick.

Therefore, at this moment, these words came out of Zhao and Rui's mouths, but Yuan Jing was a little interested, touched his chin and said to himself, "A wonderful person? can make the prince say that he is a wonderful person, and he must have something extraordinary. ”

"Hehe, Master Yuan, the Detective Division is not in the Imperial Palace, and it is clear that I want to come to the Yuan Division. This is not contrary to the ideals of the Yuan Master, and the Yuan Shi is also invited to share the worries of the king. ”

Zhao and Rui saw that the fire was almost over, so they got up and bowed.

"Ouch, the prince is going to torture Lao Yuan. That's it, that's it. Lao Yuan gave up this old bone to share the worries of the prince once? Who let Lao Yuanbai eat and drink for so many years. Alas, it's really a soft mouth, and a short hand. ”

Seeing Zhao and Rui like this, Yuan Jing hurriedly jumped to the side to avoid it, and then shook his head and sighed. In his eyes, he unconsciously showed a little hope.

Who really wants to watch themselves be brought to the coffin in obscurity after being full of economic wealth? No one really wants to, especially those who talk like this every day, but they don't want to.

The two have been friends for many years, and their names are master and slave, but they are actually more like friends who have forgotten their years. Let Yuan Jing enter the court to watch, in fact, Zhao and Rui have been thinking for a long time, just because Yuan Jing is obviously unwilling to participate in the imperial examination anymore, if there is no Jinshi with him, it is naturally not much of a problem for Zhao and Rui to ask for an official position for a person.

The key problem is that Yuan Jing will definitely be resolutely opposed, and secondly, the rash recommendation may even arouse the suspicion of his own brother, and maybe he will hurt Yuan Jing at the very end, so he will get into trouble. Not to mention, with Yuanjing's bohemian and uninhibited temperament, I am afraid that I don't know how much trouble Lu Dao will cause.

Now, it's clearly the best opportunity. Without going through too much trouble, when the time is right, Yuan Jing will naturally be able to rise in one day.

Of course, Zhao and Rui didn't have any other thoughts, and they didn't have the slightest thought about that position. What he did was just to give Yuan Jing a chance.

Looking at Yuan Jing, who was shaking his head, Zhao and Rui smiled lightly.
