Zhao Ji is both happy and worried, happy that Zhao Zhao is not there, so there is a reason to delay time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info but also regretted that he couldn't wait for Zhao Zhao's modest resignation in time, and the matter of establishing the reserve was unresolved, and it would inevitably be brought up again in the future.

Back in the palace, Zhao Xu deliberately went to the concubine Zhu to see the de facto eldest son Zhao Xu, hoping that his son would grow up quickly.

But in his own body, although Zhao Ji is a little shy about medical treatment, he still knows how much his physical condition is. If you encounter misfortune and really leave early, what should orphans and widows do?

If a minor son wants to sit on the throne, he must be assisted by someone. Queen Xiang is a gentle woman, virtuous and kind, but she doesn't know the art of power and strategy, and she can't listen to politics at all.

The only person in the palace who can assist the young master is her mother Gao Taotao, but in comparison, she seems to love her younger brother Zhao Hao more......

How good is that?

Or follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and choose a loyal minister like Huo Guang to assist the young master?

But looking at the government and the opposition, where is there a person available?

Alas! Zhao Ji sighed, in the end, the only one who could be relied on was his mother, and he decided to test it!

"!"

"Alas!" Gao Taotao looked at his eldest son in surprise, he rarely set foot in Baoci Palace.

Zhao Ji said: "These days are sick, which makes Niangniang worried!" ”

"It's for my mother, I didn't care about your body!" Gao Taotao is indeed apologetic, but he always feels that his son's behavior today is a little weird!

"There's something I want to discuss with my mother!"

"What?"

Zhao Ji whispered: "Hundreds of officials in the court are vying to advise and let the prince be established as soon as possible, so I want to consult the opinions of the next mother." ”

"What do you think, official?"

"Someone proposed to make the king of Qin the emperor's uncle. Hum! Zhao Ji did not answer directly. It's a complaint.

"Erect him? Hum. Maybe those officials who went up to the top were instigated and appointed by him! ”

"Yes, it's been prevaricated for the time being, but it can't be delayed for a long time, and sooner or later it will be a trouble!" After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he looked at his mother meaningfully, who was the initiator of the matter of the prince, I am afraid it is difficult to say.

"A few princes are still ......young," Gao Tao didn't continue, the meaning was already obvious, this was a temptation. See what attitude the eldest son will have.

Zhao Ji said in a low voice: "Second brother is a suitable candidate. ”

Gao Taotao's heart was shocked, he looked at his eldest son quietly for a long time, and said leisurely: "Zhongzhen, you and I, mother and son, are a family, so don't beat around the bush when we talk to each other."

For my mother to know, you want Lixu'er to be the prince, he is my new grandson, as a grandmother, naturally love him. If you are in good health. Whatever you want...... But I'm really scared for my mother, Xu'er is too young. It is difficult to convince the public, and the lord is suspicious, and it gives outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

It was also at a critical juncture, Gao Taotao even had no scruples about saying that his son might die early if he was seriously ill, and said it directly.

Zhao Ji was not angry, but asked lightly: "So it's best for the second brother to inherit the unification, right?" ”。

Gao Tao hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "This is also an expedient measure, but you can make an agreement with Zhong Ming, and Xu'er will inherit the throne in the future." ”

Zhao Ji couldn't help but sneer, can this really be the case? Who wouldn't want to do the emperor's throne? Who wouldn't want their children and grandchildren to sit? Maybe his younger brother Zhao Hao will agree today, but will he definitely fulfill his promise in the future? Maybe when his mother was there, he didn't dare to make any changes, but what about after his mother drove to the west? Who else can restrain him?

Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne in accordance with the edict of the Empress Dowager Du Jinkui Alliance, and it stands to reason that the throne should be passed to the son of Taizu. But what happened to the two princes, Dezhao and Defang? All the early ones died in vain; What kind of miserable situation are the descendants of Taizu to this day? Zhao Ji didn't want his son to lose the right to inherit the throne, and he didn't want his children and grandchildren to suffer the murder of monks

"Zhong Zhen, Wei Niang knows what you are worried about, but if this matter is not handled well, the throne will fall into the hands of King Qin. Do some of your brothers, and even your children and grandchildren, have a place to stand? ”。 Gao Taotao was very helpless, she had to persuade her like this, hoping that her son would focus on the overall situation.

In this matter, she did not want to hide it. At this point, there should no longer be so many internal barriers and precautions.

"The big picture counts!" Zhao Ji said lightly: "Yes, he is also Niangniang's son, and he will have a grandson in the future." What is my son? Is it fair that in order for him and his son to live and enjoy prosperity and prosperity, we have to sacrifice my son's future? The overall situation is important, and the overall situation is important...... Hmph, the mother still hurts him more after all! ”

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he didn't care about Gao's surging reaction, didn't look back, and left Baoci Palace in despair. Gao Tao stood in place in amazement, old tears in his eyes. After a long time, he ordered: "Spread Han Qi to the palace!" ”

However, it was said that after Zhao Ji returned to the Vertical Arch Palace, he was also distracted for a long time, and his body couldn't help shaking while sitting on the throne, and he felt a little shaky, as if he would fall at any time.

After a long time, Kai shouted softly: "Go, King Chuanpu enters the palace to see him!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Hai answered, and immediately sent someone to the mansion of King Pu Zhao Zongsheng to pass on the decree.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, was not in Chang'an, but went to the front line to inspect.

The turmoil must be avoided, as long as someone promotes themselves, it must be expressed.

According to the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty, it must be resigned, if this is really done, what if Zhao Ji agrees? This kind of brazen thing, he completely did it.

If you don't shirk it, wouldn't you say that you covet the throne? This is obviously the case, but the ancients paid attention to subtlety, even if everyone in the world knew about it, but it couldn't be announced, let alone self-recommendation.

So the best thing to do is not to take a stand and avoid it on the grounds that you don't know. Just find an excuse to leave Chang'an, who can say anything?

Therefore, Zhao Zhao secretly hid in Lanzhou, and the news of Bianjing would be sent as soon as possible. The envoys inquired by the emperor arrived in Chang'an, but they also waited for several days in vain.

Of course, Zhao Zhao didn't go out to avoid suspicion, there was indeed good news from Jing Sili in Lanzhou.

It is now April of the seventh year of Xining, and the Yellow River has thawed, so I don't worry about the Western Xia stepping on the ice and making a comeback. But in the same way, it is not easy to cross the river and attack the land west of the river.

But there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts. Jing Sili of Lanzhou found the clue. In the northwest, it is customary to cross the river by stepping on ice. In addition, it can also be the same as Jiangnan, logging and shipbuilding, and directly crossing the water. It's just that the northwest is relatively deserted, and wood is scarce, and it is difficult to make enough boats.

What's more, ship delivery is not the mainstream in the northwest!

However, Jing Sili plans to go the opposite, there is no timber in Lanzhou, but there is in Hehuang. The Tao River, a tributary of the Yellow River, is just on the right bank controlled by the Song Dynasty, and there are many forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and timber is abundant.

As a result, Jing Sili made people look at the trees early on, and carried the timber along the Tao River to the banks of the Yellow River. In the last battle of Lingxia, almost all the western troops were mobilized, but the Lanzhou garrison of Jing Sili did not move, which was naturally for a reason.

Now that the ships have been built, they can barely land on the beach. However, the time is urgent, the number of ships is limited after all, and the troops that can be transported at one time are not particularly large, and if they encounter strong resistance from the Western Xia army, it is not easy to gain a firm foothold if they want to land on the west bank of the Yellow River.

It is precisely because of this that Jing Sili has been standing still, waiting for the opportunity. Until a few days ago, a general from the Western Xia Zhuoluo Military Division on the other side of Lanzhou crossed the river to surrender and told the story of the situation on the other side.

Jing Sili realized that a great opportunity had finally come! Therefore, he immediately reported to the King of Qin and asked Zhao Zhao to come and preside over the overall situation! (To be continued......)
