Ten Mile Bridge, Zhao Mansion. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This is a mansion with a large area, pavilions, water pavilions, garden buildings, everything. This place was originally owned by a wealthy businessman, but was later bought by Zhao Zongbo at a high price. In a land like Bianliang City, where every inch of land is valuable, the price of such a large mansion is absolutely astronomical.

Zhao Zongbo is not exactly consistent with the rumors outside, this person is dignified, heroic and extraordinary, and his talent is also ranked in these clans in the Great Song Dynasty, but this person is the same as his father, a little greedy for flowers, not to mention more than a dozen wives and concubines in the family, and he has a few outer rooms outside. Zhao Zongbo didn't know about Wang Shuang's affairs at first, but later learned from rumors that in a fit of anger, he directly ordered someone to kill Lin Wu with a rod and kill Song Chengxiang. Even so, I'm afraid it will have some bad effects, after all, Lin Wu is the housekeeper in his house, and people with a heart will naturally associate it with him.

Although the current official family is healthy, it is a fact that there are no heirs, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the ministers of the DPRK and China will start a new round of exhortation. As a member of the Taizong line, it is naturally impossible for the official family to pass the throne to the Taizu line, so the most likely to ascend to the throne is naturally one of Zhao Yunrang's more than 20 sons, and the other clan relatives are either estranged or not strong enough, and the ones who can barely be called a threat are Zhao Zongxuan, the son of the king of Nanyang County, Zhao Zongqi, the son of the king of Dongping County, and Zhao Zongshan, the son of the Duke of Fuguo. And among Zhao Yunrang's sons, in addition to Zhao Zongshi, the most outstanding is Zhao Zongbo, in other words, Zhao Zongshi may not be as good as Zhao Zongbo, but Zhao Zongshi was once taken into the palace by the official family to raise him for a few years, and imitated the style of the official family everywhere, so everyone will feel that among the more than 20 sons of the king of Runan County, Zhao Zongshi is the most suitable person to fight for that position. But not everyone thinks so, Zhao Zongbo is naturally one of these people, since he has such an idea, he naturally has to cherish his feathers!

Although the rod killed the evil slave, Zhao Zongbo was not angry, one yard to one yard, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Yan was a scholar, he would have done it a long time ago. Since you are a scholar, you must take the provincial exam in the spring next year, hehe, then don't blame Lao Tzu.

Zhao Zongbo sat on the chair and smiled coldly, a man opposite him was holding a teacup, as if he didn't see it, and said, "Tenth brother, did you think of something interesting?" ”

This person is Zhao Zongbo's own brother, Zhao Yunrang's fourth son Zhao Zongfu. Among Zhao Yunrang's more than 20 sons, in addition to most of them circling around Zhao Zongshi, Zhao Zongbo and Zhao Zongfu are also another force. It's just that the two of them, like everyone else, support Zhao Zongshi on the surface.

Zhao Zongbo came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No, I'm just thinking about how the thirteenth brother is doing in Yuezhou." At this time, Zhao Zongshi was not in the capital, but far away in Yuezhou, two years ago, the official family named him the general of the right guard, Yuezhou regiment training envoy, although this regiment training envoy is just a fictitious title, can not go to the post, but Zhao Zongshi in order to give the official family an impression that he is going to go to the experience, so he took his entourage to Yuezhou, it has been almost three years, I am afraid that he will return to Beijing before the provincial examination next year.

"Okay!" Zhao Zongfu said lightly: "I'm afraid that it will start again after the palace exam." ”

In the spring of next year, Zhao Zongshi will return to Beijing, and the national talent ceremony will be completed, so it is naturally time to discuss the matter of establishing a reserve.

Zhao Zongbo's expression suddenly became a little uncertain, and when Zhao Zongbo saw it, he said: "Calm down, if you don't fight, you may not have a chance." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Zongbo knew that his fourth brother had eyeliner in the palace, so he must have gotten some news.

"The official family intends to select a few people from the clan to study in the palace."

Zhao Zongbo was stunned, there is no prince in this palace, so naturally he doesn't need to accompany him, so why do you choose the children of the sect to enter the palace? Could it be ......

Zhao Zongfu took the teacup, took a sip, and continued: "Although the official family is in full bloom, even if there are no heirs, it will be difficult to inherit the unification, so the selection of the children of the clan to enter the palace is naturally to be cultivated. Brother Wei got the news, and now there are about five people selected, you and the thirteenth brother, plus Zhao Conggu, Zhao Congrong and Zhao Zongqi. ”

"Then, isn't the thirteenth brother going back to Beijing ahead of schedule?"

Zhao Zongfu nodded: "At this time, the Holy Oracle is already on the way to Yuezhou. In this way, the thirteenth brother has half a year more time to plan. Although Wen Xianggong left Beijing, Liu Xianggong strongly supported the thirteenth brother. ”

This Wen Xianggong is Wen Yanbo, who was impeached and left Beijing last year, and Liu Xianggong is the current governor Liu Xin. The relationship between the two and Zhao Zongshi is quite close, and since the official family intends to elect the prince among the children of the clan, the two of them naturally support Zhao Zongshi. And today's Tongzhongshu is a Pang book. This person is a typical royalist and does not lean towards anyone. Therefore, now in the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the court or the people, whether it is prestige or connections, Zhao Zongshi is in the absolute lead.

"What? Could it be that the thirteenth brother dares to form a party and become private! "Zhao Zongbo naturally has his own calculations.

"Naturally, the thirteenth brother won't, but those with ulterior motives are afraid that they will have other thoughts. In short, ten brothers, you should be careful after entering the palace, and don't be rash. ”

Of course, Zhao Zongbo understood the powerful relationship between this, so he nodded, but he was thinking in his heart whether it was time for him to develop his own power.

In the fourth year of Emperor You's reign in the Great Song Dynasty, on October 15, the official family issued an order to order Zhao Zongshi, Zhao Zongbo, Zhao Zongqi, Zhao Zongxuan, Zhao Zongshan, Zhao Conggu, and Zhao Congrong Seven children of the clan entered the palace to study, and the court discussed it for a while.

When Zhao Zongxuan heard the news, he was overjoyed, so he came to Wang Ji Malatang to find Chen Yan, but he knew that he was not in the store, and after getting Chen Yan's address in the dynasty, he hurried over.

In the outer hall, Chen Yan and Zhao Zongxuan sat opposite each other, after listening to Zhao Zongxuan's intention, Chen Yan couldn't cry or laugh, on the one hand, he didn't expect that this Zhao Zongxuan was really a disciple of the clan, on the other hand, it was obvious that Zhao Zongxuan regarded him as the backbone, and he actually asked him to ask for countermeasures. Since everyone has a chance to take the position, why not fight for it, after all, it is the supreme position of the Ninth Five.

Chen Yan poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Zhao Zongxuan, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhengde, but I overestimated the little brother." This court matter is not something that I, a poor scholar, should mix. ”

"Qi Cheng should not be humble, can see through life, how can he not see through this court?"

Chen Yan twisted his eyebrows, and said in his heart You really feel a little sick and rushed to the doctor, and then I thought about it, this is also an opportunity, if I can let Zhao Zongxuan ascend the throne, then there will be nothing to do with Zhao Zongshi, that is to say, Song Huizong and Song Gaozong, the two emperors, will not appear on the historical stage of China, at most they will be a prince. It's just that in terms of the current situation, it is no less difficult to let Zhao Zongxuan go to win the heir, which is no less difficult than letting him travel back again. No matter what, I still have to give Zhao Zongxuan a move, otherwise there will be no chance at all.

Chen Yan thought for a while, synthesized the famous story of the nine sons in later generations, and said slowly: "Don't fight! ”

Zhao Zongxuan asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" Does Kai admit that I am not worthy? ”

"Definitely!" Chen Yan looked at Zhao Zongxuan, who was a little impatient, and said, "I'm wondering, is the current official family really going to establish a prince." ”

Zhao Zongxuan is not a stupid person, he was said to be so little, and he immediately understood, so he said: "Brother Xian means that the official family is tempting?" ”

"No matter how lenient the official family is, he is also an emperor. Besides, the official family is in full bloom, and there may not be any more princes born in the harem, you must know that Zhao Zongshi was also taken into the palace by the queen to raise him when he was a child? The result? ”

"Taoguang is obscure, and he accumulates a lot?!"

"The children can be taught!"

Looking at the back of Zhao Zongxuan leaving, Chen Yan began to worry again, he didn't have a few days of good life, I am afraid that it will be unpeaceful again, in fact, he does not plan to tie up with Zhao Zongxuan, after all, the two have only met, he does not know the character of this person, and the reason why he said those words to Zhao Zongxuan today is purely to block Zhao Zongshi. Now that you've made up your mind to change something, it's better to play big.
