Chapter 314: Schadenfreude

Zhao Hao, the second son of Song Yingzong and Empress Gao Taotao, and the younger brother of Shenzong Zhao Hao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoレ?レ

was previously named King Qi, but now he is renamed King Yong.

There is his Yongwang Mansion in Bianjing City, but Zhao Hao often likes to run to the palace.

No way, who made the Queen Mother Gao Tao like him! When he was sixteen years old, he was still allowed to stay in the palace.

Until the incident of Lin Zhao punching Zhao Hao occurred, Yu Shizhang Piguang talked about this matter. Emperor Zhao Ji was even more suspicious of his younger brother because of this, and Gao Taotao reluctantly let the second son move out of the palace and build another mansion for the safety of his second son and the brotherhood between the two sons.

However, doting has become a habit, and Zhao Hao has less time to enter the palace at the beginning. But after a long time, the frequency of Zhao Hao's entry into the palace to ask for peace is obviously much higher.

Even if Zhao Ji was not very satisfied, he didn't say much.

Otherwise, the queen mother will be unhappy, and a brother will not be friends and disrespectful gossip, which will damage the reputation, so he will also turn a blind eye.

Today, Zhao Hao, the king of Yong, entered the palace again, laughing and chanting along the way, very happy.

For no other reason, he had just watched a good show before entering the palace.

He also saw the scene of Lin Zhao entering the city, and how to take it seriously when he learned the news in the mansion, but after he went, Zhao Hao knew how "warm" the scene was.

The hatred between him and Lin Zhao was due to the punch on the Laba Festival three years ago.

Zhao Hao, the dignified and noble prince and the second son of the Queen Mother, was beaten like this, it can be said that he has grown so big from birth, and it is the first time he has been beaten.

How can Zhao Hao not be angry and angry! What made him even more embarrassed was the follow-up handling of this matter.

Lin Zhao was not severely punished, which made Zhao Hao lose face. Especially in the circle of a group of kings, grandsons, and sons, this matter has become a laughing stock. That's it, because of this incident, he was driven to the palace by his brother, and his status was not as good as before.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that Zhao Hao will hate Lin Zhao.

Their hatred did not gradually fade or dissolve with the change of time, but the old hatred did not disappear and new hatred was added.

After Zhao Hao accidentally met Chai Minyan, he fell in love at first sight.

But Chai Minyan didn't say anything to him, and he didn't even look at it squarely. I thought it was a beautiful woman, but I didn't want to know until the end that the beauty belonged to another place.

If it was someone else, Zhao Hao would have recognized it, but this person was Lin Zhao.

How could Zhao Hao swallow this breath? Wishful thinking, he decided that it was Lin Zhao who snatched love with a knife, and the resentment between them deepened.

He wanted revenge, but he didn't have a chance. Although he is a noble prince with a very high status, he actually does not have much power.

Ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, since ancient times, the emperor has been jealous of his brothers and relatives, and the Song Dynasty is even more so. Since Emperor Taizong's brother and brother took the throne of Dafang, the successive emperors of the Great Song Dynasty have been very defensive about their brothers and royal relatives, and usually do not hold specific positions. Even if you add the title of prime minister of the middle book, most of them are honorary titles.

Especially last year, after the sale of illicit salt by Zhao Zongyong, the king of Yuhang County, and Zhao Shiju's rebellion, Emperor Zhao Ji intended to suppress the royal family. Therefore, the power of the clan was further compressed, and it was impossible to get their hands on the real power, giving them the opportunity to covet the throne.

Therefore, Zhao Hao's road to revenge is far away.

Therefore, the greatest pleasure can only be schadenfreude, after hearing that Lin Zhao was accused of treason with the enemy in the northwest, Zhao Hao was very happy, thinking that Lin Zhao should be dead now.

This kind of scene is even more jingcai, which is a great humiliation for Lin Zhao, and a great joy for Zhao Hao.

The guy gloated and went to the palace.

I didn't want to enter the mother's surging Baoci Palace, but I saw the emperor's eldest brother Zhao Ji here.

The expression on Zhao Hao's face slowly became a little unnatural, and his smile gradually froze, he was a little afraid to see his eldest brother now, and it was not easy for him to be suspicious.

"I've seen Niangniang, I've seen Brother Huang!"

"Zhong Ming is here!" Gao Tao smiled very kindly, and it was rare for him to have the opportunity to see two sons at the same time.

"Second brother is here, I haven't seen you anymore!" Zhao Ji smiled lightly, and was quite polite to his younger brother. (Song Dynasty title, brothers are called elder brother regardless of age)

Zhao Hao said so, but Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. It is said that the Son of Heaven is unpredictable, although he is a brother of the same mother, but Zhao Hao really doesn't know what his brother is thinking. I don't even know if this sentence is true or the opposite.

"The royal brother is busy with government affairs, and he has all kinds of opportunities, unlike his brother, who is not so leisurely!" Although Zhao Hao is a little sloppy, he is not stupid. He clearly told the emperor's eldest brother that I had fun and had no covetousness for the throne.

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, he was quite satisfied with this, as long as his younger brother did not threaten his throne, it was appropriate to maintain a good relationship with each other. Brotherhood, brotherhood, brother

"By the way, I saw the second brother smiling when I saw it, but what happy thing did I encounter?" Zhao Ji asked casually.

The Queen Mother Gao also smiled and said: "Yes, let's be happy when we say it, we don't have a chance to go out of the palace and have fun with the people!" ”

Zhao Hao hesitated: "Yes, I saw a strange thing at the gate of Xicheng today, so I ...... I'm afraid it's not very good, so let's not talk about it! ”

Things are a little sensitive, if Zhao Hao is not there, Zhao Hao is definitely willing to tell his mother, but for now, ...... Inevitably, there is some hesitation.

"Second brother, but it's okay to say!" Zhao Hao seems to let Zhao Hao be casual, but at the same time, it also has another meaning, what is it that you have to go behind my back to say?

The emperor's suspicion is everywhere, Gao Taotao is very helpless, Zhao Hao is inevitably nervous, so he has to say truthfully: "It is said that Lin Zhao, the young secretary of Dali Temple, collaborated with the enemy to commit treason, and he was escorted back to Bianjing today." After hearing this, many scholars and people were very indignant, and accused and denounced them at the west gate. ”

Sure enough, after finishing speaking, Zhao Ji's face became a little unnatural.

Lin Zhao is back, and he has already been condemned! As soon as he thought about it, he understood why his brother was so happy, this guy must be gloating. He still heard of the grievances between Zhao Hao and Lin Zhao.

Gao Tao didn't raise his head, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Lin Zhao, a very familiar name!" ”

"Niangniang doesn't know, this Lin Zhao is still powerful! Solve the strange case and send an envoy to Liao...... Now she has sent an envoy to Tubo ......" Princess Bao'an on the side, I don't know what kind of mentality she had, and immediately told Lin Zhao's glorious deeds. It is rare that she, a princess in the deep palace, understands a courtier so clearly.

After Gao Tao listened, he muttered: "It sounds like a good young man, and the emperor also uses this person very much, how can he collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?" ”

After some questions, he couldn't help but say: "Emperor, knowing people is a taboo, remember!" ”

As the queen mother, it is also appropriate to teach a few words to the emperor, Zhao Ji didn't dare not listen, so he had to nod his head and say yes.

The thing that really annoys him is how to deal with this matter?

Is Lin Zhao guilty or not? If there is a sin, it is easy to do. The person who betrayed him naturally would not let him end well. The key is how to deal with innocence, which is the most difficult part.

On the one hand, Lin Zhao, who was cultivated as a confidant, on the other hand, the general Li Fugui, and the inseparable right-hand Wang Anshi, it is really difficult to choose!

Mentioning this, Zhao Ji had no intention of staying any longer, so he resigned and returned to the Vertical Arch Palace.

Gao Taotao didn't want to stay with Zhao Hao much, and instructed him to go to Qingshou Palace to ask for peace for the Empress Dowager.

When Zhao Hao was leaving, he didn't forget to urge Gao Tao: "Niangniang, what I said last time ...... thing"

"Okay, let's go and talk to your eldest lady!" Regarding the selection of the princess, Gao Taotao originally disagreed with Chai Minyan. But Zhao Hao insisted again and again, so that she had to give in. But before that, she decided to seek the opinion of the Empress Dowager Cao first.

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

Although Song Yingzong is not the biological son of the Empress Dowager Cao, due to the next generation, the Cao family still likes Zhao Ji and Zhao Hao brothers.

Therefore, when Zhao Hao entered the palace, he would go to the Cao family every once in a while to ask for peace.

In front of the gate of Qingshou Palace, Zhao Hao met Zhao Fukang and Chai Minyan, the eldest princess of Chu State.

Zhao Fukang's condition has basically improved, and Concubine Miao was afraid that her daughter would have any recurrence, so she deliberately asked Chai Minyan to stay in the palace for a while longer. When Zhao Fukang completely recovered before leaving, Chai Minyan was not good at disobedience, and he hadn't been home for a month or two. Of course, he didn't step out of the palace, and he didn't know anything about the outside.

"I've seen my aunt!" Zhao Hao saluted Zhao Fukang according to etiquette, and in the past, he looked at Chai Minyan beside him intently, but now he doesn't look at it at all.

Zhao Fukang thought that he had changed his son, so he couldn't help but be a little strange, and said with a smile: "Zhong Ming, don't be polite!" ”

"Auntie is good, is she in good shape?" Zhao Hao courtesyly condolences.

Zhao Fukang nodded and said, "Thanks to Min Yan, it's completely good now!" ”

"Congratulations, Auntie!"

"By the way, look at your face, but what good things have happened?" Zhao Fukang smiled and asked casually.

"yes!" Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.

"What's good? But your queen mother has a candidate for the princess for you? Zhao Fukang casually made a joke, Zhao Hao liked Chai Minyan before, but Chai Minyan's heart belonged to something else, and she was inevitably embarrassed, so she asked casually. If you can have the best of both worlds, it's great.

Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "That's not it, but it's fast...... But there's another great thing......"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fukang didn't notice the cunning in his nephew's smile.

"Auntie, it's better not to say it, I'm afraid some people don't like to hear it!" This time, when Zhao Hao spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Chai Minyan more.

Chai Minyan couldn't help but move in his heart, and Zhao Fukang's face was a little more suspicious.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's that Lin Zhao, the young secretary of Dali Temple, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, colluded with the Western Xia, and was escorted back to Bianjing today, and the people angrily denounced it......"

"Huh?" After Chai Minyan heard it, he exclaimed, and immediately lost his face!
