Li Chun's gloomy face all the way, Zhao Ze's attitude really made him very angry, but who called someone still have the identity of a royal family, and he is just a nobleman.

After all, this prince is still useful, and if he didn't have it, he would have abandoned it a long time ago.

He has a variety of ways to make Zhao Ze's death ugly, and it won't implicate him.

But now fortunately, Zhao Ze is still honest and hasn't gone out to mess around, this small city is not as rich in entertainment activities as the capital, and he has nowhere to go.

In addition, Zhao Ze's actions have basically been placed under house arrest by him, so there shouldn't be any chaos.

After Li Chun left, Zhao Ze continued to lie on the recliner to rest.

This time, Xiao Dongzi did a very good job, and Zhao Ze also rewarded him.

But there is nothing to reward, it is all about what your own people want in the future.

After resting for a while, Xiao Dongzi called He Sheng up, and it was not a way to stay in that dim room all the time, and Zhao Ze also wanted to hear his thoughts.

He Sheng was naturally shocked after he came up, it turned out that this underground water vein was not only the underground treasure house that led directly to the City Lord's Mansion, but also to Zhao Ze's home.

In other words, Zhao Ze was not completely placed under house arrest by Li Chun at all, and he still had room to move.

If that's the case, then this prince can do a lot of things.

The more He Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Ze was deeply hidden.

I'm afraid that Li Chun is still in the dark now, if this is the case, then Li Chun will definitely suffer, and he will suffer a big loss.

When Zhao Ze saw He Sheng coming, he asked him to take a seat and asked, "The main thing you want to go back this time is to collect information about the imperial court and the battle for the throne, whether it's true or not, just send it to me, this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

He Sheng replied respectfully: "This little thing is naturally difficult to fall down. ”

"Does Your Highness have any other orders?"

Zhao Ze shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, you can do this thing well first, and I will contact you in the future." ”

He Sheng replied respectfully: "Obey Your Highness!"

Zhao Ze asked again: "Tell me what you think, what do you think of this battle for the throne?"

He Sheng pondered for a while before saying: "I'm not mainly involved in this matter, I'm just a small person on the periphery, many things are not very clear, but some things are still very strange." ”

Zhao Ze has been away from the capital for a long time now, and many things are not clear now, so he is also very interested in He Shengti's strange things.

He Sheng said slowly: "Your Royal Highness, the current king, your father has not appeared for a long time, and now many people feel that he is no longer alive. ”

"The imperial court is also making a final plan to keep these things secret. ”

"However, I heard that the old king had appointed the crown prince, that is, it is most appropriate for the prince to succeed him, so that a lot of disputes can be avoided. ”

Zhao Ze actually thought the same way, although he didn't like his eldest brother very much, but having a crown prince to inherit the throne could indeed ensure the stable nature of the Song Kingdom.

Of course, this also depends on his eldest brother's anger, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any problems, but in the end, it still happened.

He Sheng said: "Originally, there would have been no problem for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, but in the past few years, several forces have suddenly appeared to compete with him for the throne, and this matter is very strange. ”

When He Sheng said this, Zhao Ze did remember it a little.

In the past, it was very simple for his eldest brother to sit on that throne, just wait for the old king to die, and in recent years, the old king's health has become worse and worse.

Zhao Ze didn't know why, suddenly a good person's body became so bad, he should have been on the throne for decades, let alone for 10 years, so his eldest brother must be on the throne for 10 years.

According to the age of his eldest brother, he waited, but during this time, the other brothers will also grow up, and naturally they will have ideas about that throne.

There are also those strengths that suddenly appeared, and now Zhao Ze has two teams competing with his eldest brother in his memory.

The first batch is His Royal Highness Zhao Lei, the third prince, this person has been a violent madman since he was a child, and Zhao Ze has suffered losses in front of him.

But fortunately, when he was 10 years old, this person went to the army, and since then he has rarely met, and I heard that he has made a lot of military exploits, and even Li Chun's military exploits are not as high as his.

Zhao Lei is only 30 years old now, just the right age.

I don't know why he suddenly gathered some martial arts people, and there were major generals competing for the throne with his eldest brother, and the origin was not small at all.

The second batch is the 4th prince Zhao Tianxing, this person is a bit sinister and cunning, and Zhao Ze also suffered a lot when he was a child.

Fortunately, after Zhao Ze pretended to be stupid, this person was not sorry for Zhao Ze.

The two didn't have much contact, but they knew that this person had a deep connection with the scholars of the Song Kingdom, and the sudden emergence of major civil officials to support Zhao Tianxing was also something that Zhao Ze did not expect.

Of course, Zhao Ze at that time had nothing to do with national affairs, so he couldn't find particularly important information in his original memory.

So I can only ask He Sheng.

He Sheng continued: "The previous princes must have known to you, Your Highness, and now there is a new competition for it, that is, His Royal Highness the 6th Prince. ”

Zhao Ze frowned after hearing this, this 6th prince seems to be a few years younger than him, he should only be about 15 years old at this time, and Zhao Ze is only 18 years old now.

What is this little kid doing out there?

He Sheng smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, you can't judge a person by age, there are many people who support him, and it seems that there is still some royal support behind him, such strength must not be underestimated, right?"

Zhao Ze was also very surprised after hearing this, because the royal family rarely came out to participate in disputes, and they all obeyed the current king, and now that they suddenly came out, it is no wonder that the entire Song Kingdom is in chaos.

Zhao Ze's gloomy face said, "Do you know that those royal families came out?"

He Sheng said: "Now only one person named Zhao He has come out, and the others don't know who it is." ”

Zhao and this person Zhao Ze still know each other, he is the brother of his cheap father, that is, their uncle, this person has always been in the world What is he doing now, this matter is becoming more and more interesting.

He Sheng continued: "By the way, there is another rumor in the capital now, this rumor is about His Royal Highness the King, saying that his throne is not from the right source, he is not the orthodox inheritance, and the successor is someone else, and I don't know if this is true or false. ”

"But now is a critical moment, everyone who wants to sit in that position is trying their best to splash each other's black water, and there are many rumors that are a bit outrageous, even a little disgusting. ”

Zhao Ze also knows that this is just a means to control the crackdown of public opinion, and this method is often used in their world.

At this time, Zhao Ze also asked, "Didn't they join forces to attack one of them first?"

He Sheng said excitedly: "It's just that this question makes me feel very strange, the strength of the next three parties is not consolidated by the prince, and some time ago they joined forces to target His Royal Highness the prince." ”

"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been overwhelmed by them, and it won't be long before he can do it, not at this time, His Royal Highness the 4th Prince suddenly turned to the Prince's side, which also caused a lot of damage to the remaining two parties, and now only the strength of the 4th Prince remains. ”

After that, the 3rd and 6th princes also joined forces to deal with the prince and the 4th prince and their men. ”

"Now the situation has entered a state of anxiety. ”

Zhao Ze did not make a sound and motioned for He Sheng to continue.

He Sheng paused and continued: "Recently, when I came, His Royal Highness the 4th Prince suddenly announced that he would not participate in the competition for the throne again, and put his own people and horses in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Prince 3 and Prince 6 are naturally very unconvinced, and the two are now attacking the other wings of the prince together. ”

"The prince has also been struggling to support himself. ”

After listening to this, Zhao Ze also felt that the sudden withdrawal of the 4th prince was something famous, and he couldn't understand the situation at once.

However, these 4 princes must have some ulterior deal with the crown prince, but this transaction can actually make Zhao Tianxing, a sinister and cunning guy, give up the throne, and it also makes Zhao Ze feel fresh.

Now that his eldest brother has suddenly regained power, he will definitely continue to fight back against the 3rd and 6th princes.

The things He Sheng knows are just legends in the market, and a lot of real and reliable news still needs to contact important people in the capital.

The person Xiao Dongzi asked him to go to the capital to find was also an old eunuch, this person had taught Xiao Dongzi, and Xiao Dongzi respected him very much.

This man has retired and bought a house in the capital to live alone.

The purpose of looking for him is naturally for the news inside the court, and only this person can do it.

After He Sheng finished telling what he knew, Xiao Dongzi explained the matter.

In order to show respect, let He Sheng bring more good wine to meet this old eunuch, this is a drunkard who likes wine very much.

As long as it's good wine and favors, it's much easier to do.

He Sheng nodded yes again and again.

After explaining, Zhao Ze said again: "Do you know the Shangguan family?"

He Sheng nodded and replied: "I still know about that little nobleman, they married the most beautiful daughter to His Royal Highness the Prince, do you need me to keep an eye on it?"

Zhao Ze said: "It is true that you need to keep an eye on it, if you need it, you can help them from the side, but don't startle the snake, just help if you can." ”

He Sheng replied respectfully: "I know, I will keep an eye on this little nobleman." ”

After that, the two talked about the three beauties in the capital, which really made many men yearn for it.

Zhao Ze wanted to take advantage of these three beauties very much at that time, but unfortunately others were guarding against him, he had no chance at all, so he had to find other women.

The three of them talked until dinner time.

Zhao Ze has a general understanding of many things in the capital.

It's really different from when he left.

Nowadays, many former nobles and merchants have chosen to leave the capital in order to avoid the fighting, and live in the cities near the capital so as not to be affected.

In addition, a large number of martial arts people have entered the capital, and the army is also stationed near the capital.

It seems that this unrest will not end anytime soon.

The people of the Song Kingdom also suffered.

He Sheng also mentioned that several places in the Song Kingdom have suffered floods, and it has been raining for more than one month, and many farmlands have been soaked in water, which is basically impossible, and a large number of people have fled to neighboring countries.

Because some preferential policies for displaced people were implemented over there, the people fled there.

Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi also felt a trace of sadness after listening to it.

This has never happened before, and the agricultural population is the key to this kind of society, and if it is reduced a lot in an instant, it will definitely be a big blow to the country.

Now the imperial court has no heart to take care of these things at all, and it will definitely take advantage of other countries.

In addition to the fleeing homeless, there are also rebels.

Several of these counties also caused the people to rebel because of the untimely response to the disaster, and some of these loose cultivators also joined the rebellion for profit.

I heard that now this gang has robbed the government and fled to the mountains and forests.

Therefore, the situation in the Song Kingdom is already very difficult now, and it will definitely fall apart if it continues like this.

It's a pity that those idiots still have to sit in that position to solve these problems.

In Zhao Ze's opinion, many problems have already been played by the spies of the enemy country, but the imperial court still doesn't care.

Xiao Dongzi also looked sad and indignant after hearing this, his feelings for Song Guo are much more real than the current Zhao Ze, if he is a eunuch, he will definitely kill Song Guo himself to deal with these things.

And Zhao Ze didn't feel anything, and he had only traveled to this country for a few months.

As long as you don't implicate him.

But he also has to pretend to be sad and angry, so as not to be seen that he has no feelings for his country at all, which is not a good thing.

When the evening time came, Zhao Ze also let He Sheng sit down.

He is also ready to introduce him to his new partner.

He Sheng felt that this kind of thing was not strange, if he didn't match his partner, he would really be afraid, and there would be no problem with it.

Both sides send a letter at the same time, of course, to check whether the content on the letter is the same, which is why two people are needed.

It wasn't long before the meal was served.

The food made by Fan Dao naturally made He Sheng's tongue fall off, and he even thought that Fan Dao was the imperial chef in the palace.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Dongzi went to open the door and led Yue Lu in.

He Sheng and Yue Lu naturally had a greeting after they met.

Xiao Dongzi also gave a basic introduction to the two.

The two of them naturally knew what the other was doing.

Originally, both of them were smart people, and there was no need to explain anything more, and they all knew how to do it.

After that, they sat down to enjoy the food together, and Zhao Ze also took out the good wine he had treasured for many years to see off the two of them.
