Dong Xue Sun Wang and the four of them seemed to have decided to follow Feng Manlou, and they must follow Feng Manlou into Beijing, and Feng Manlou couldn't refuse, so they had to take the four of them with them.

The farther north you go this winter, the colder it gets. By the time I arrived in Bianjing, there were already snowflakes in the sky. Feng Manlou and his party of five entered the city. I prepared to go straight to the post station.

Suddenly, Xiaoyun shouted: "Young master, look, it's Wang Kan's son!" ”

Feng Manlou saw that it was Zhao Yuankan, leading Li Zhong and two guards, waiting outside. Hurriedly rushed up and was about to meet him.

Zhao Yuankan hurriedly held on and said, "Teacher, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to restrain them." It has been here that the students have been waiting for the teacher for a long time. ”

Zhao Yuankan personally arranged Feng Manlou into the post station, and the reception officials of the post station, seeing that it was the person arranged by the three princes, dared to slack off, of course, they were arranged into the upper room.

"Lord Wang, why are you worried, is there something wrong?" Feng Manlou saw Zhao Yuankan's sullen face, but he always forced a smile on his face. I shouldn't be putting on a face to myself.

Zhao Yuankan thought for a while and said, "Teacher, don't hide it, I came here today to tell the teacher about something." My father was sick. ”

When Feng Manlou heard it, there was nothing strange about this life, old age, sickness and death, but he heard Zhao Yuankan say: "My father was infected with wind and cold a few days ago, and he has not improved in the past few days. There has been no living court meeting for several days, and many ministers played, and the father and emperor were sick and received in the side hall! ”

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, and said: "The emperor is just occasionally infected with the wind and cold, and there is no need to make a fuss, since he can meet the courtiers, it must not be serious." What does the prince mean? ”

Zhao Yuankan said: "It's nothing, it's just that this king visited his father a few times, but found that his father had a headache all the time, and sometimes he was so confused that he couldn't even recognize the people around him." Sometimes, he is very irritable and erupts at every turn, without warning. So, students are worried. ”

Feng Manlou didn't answer, and when he finished speaking, he saw him and said: "I'm worried, first, if my father's illness has three longs and two shorts, how can it be good." Second, the students are worried that when the teacher faces the saint, he will inadvertently anger his father, which is not a big deal! ”

Feng Manlou didn't expect that at this time, Zhao Yuankan would come to remind him in person, and he was moved in his heart, and said: "Thank you for your concern, and the minister is grateful!" ”

Zhao Yuankan smiled: "The teacher is always so polite!" However, the melancholy between his eyebrows did not diminish in the slightest.

"The prince's heart seems to be more than this!" Feng Manlou thought about it, but decided to ask, if he didn't want to say, forget it.

After all, Zhao Yuankan is still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, although he is a little precocious, but the city government is not deep, and sometimes he can't hide things. After thinking about it, he said, "Teacher, there is still something that the student can't understand. Those subordinate officials of the royal palace are all rice buckets, but this matter is extremely urgent, and I ask the teacher to solve my doubts! ”

When Feng Manlou heard this, he said: "What the prince invited, there is no reason to excuse it." But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Zhao Yuankan seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Teacher, have you ever remembered the matter of the book of life and death?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "Remember, General Li Zhong has been sent back to the capital!" ”

Zhao Yuankan said: "Things are about to start here. Originally, Uncle Sanwang wanted to get the covenant, or the book of life and death, so that Uncle Sanwang's power was greatly improved. However, now that neither of the two things is in the hands of Uncle Sanwang, during this time, Uncle Sanwang also seems to be in a hurry. ”

Feng Manlou didn't interject, waiting for Zhao Yuankan to continue: "Who knows, at this time, my father suddenly fell ill, and sometimes he was unconscious. And at this moment, some officials under the Zhongshu Gate, as well as the officials of the three envoys, took the opportunity to propose to let the emperor make a prince! ”

As soon as the wind fills the building, this is not simple. The matter of establishing a prince is a major event in any dynasty. I'm afraid that the current court has already argued.

Feng Manlou asked, "Could it be that all the officials want the emperor to make a prince?" "If this is the case, the matter will be big, it means that Zhao Tingmei's strength has controlled the entire Great Song Dynasty. Now that he has offended Zhao Tingmei to death, if he sits on the throne, where will he still live. I didn't expect that I was unintentionally involved in this turmoil, in fact, as early as when I was in Yuhang, I thought of this.

However, Feng Manlou was not afraid, although he didn't know who the emperor behind Zhao Guangyi was in history, but at least he knew that it must be his son, but not Zhao Tingmei.

Therefore, Feng Manlou is not too worried. But now things seem to have changed, at this juncture, suddenly Zhao Guangyi is sick, and Zhao Tingmei has asked people to propose to establish a prince.

It is not easy to establish the position of the prince, and if the prince is abolished once established, it will be difficult. Therefore, Zhao Guangyi's sons are not in a hurry, not for anything else, and the consequences of Emperor Taizu's two sons are a good reference. That doesn't necessarily end well. Therefore, Zhao Yuankan panicked.

"That's not it, it's mainly the three envoys Wang Renzhan and the Pingzhang Shi Lu Duoxun two leaders. Lu Duosun is the second minister, Wang Renzhan is the prime minister, and their voices are very powerful. However, Prime Minister Zhao Pu is firmly opposed. But Shen Xiang didn't say anything! Zhao Yuankan said.

Feng Manlou thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about it, I conclude that this time, there will definitely be no immediate storage!" ”

Zhao Yuankan said: "Although students have always believed in the teacher's judgment, but they also have to worry, now the father is sometimes not sober, he is worried that the villain around him will make a bad decision, when the father is not clear, he is confused, so he let the father make the decision to establish the prince, and also set up the third uncle as the prince." ”

When Feng Manlou heard this, he was also anxious, but after thinking about it, he had never heard of Zhao Tingmei being a prince, but in the story of the Bao Gong case in later generations, it was Zhao Tingmei who tried to rebel and was arrested.

However, now he can't use those things as the basis for his own judgment, Feng Manlou thought about it and said, "Then it's really dangerous." However, according to what the prince said, the only person who can help the prince is Prime Minister Zhao. ”

Zhao Yuankan smiled bitterly and said: "The teacher doesn't know, then Zhao Xiang, where is he willing to help me and other brothers, the one who helps is just the second brother!" ”

Zhao Yuankan's second brother is Zhao Yuanyou, but Feng Manlou said: "Why is this? ”

Zhao Yuankan said with a smile: "The teacher doesn't know, the student and the eldest brother are the same mother, and the biological mother is just a virtuous concubine, compared to the second brother's biological mother, Sun Guifei, but it can't be compared." And Sun Guifei and Zhao Xiang are in the same township. This time, Zhao successively became prime minister, half of which was due to the covenant, and half of it was because Sun Guifei interceded with her father! ”

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, but it turned out that there was still this layer of relationship, that is to say, this Zhao Xiang would definitely support Zhao Yuanyou. Zhao Yuanyou hasn't seen it yet, and he thinks he should be one or two years younger than Zhao Yuanzuo, and he is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

However, he himself is young, so he doesn't necessarily have any opinions, but fortunately he has a good old lady. Compared with him, Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Yuankan are just a motherless child.

Thinking of this, these two brothers are really bitter enough, one does not have the support of the ministers, and the other does not have the help of the old lady. Fortunately, there is also the boss Zhao Yuanzuo, who is deeply loved by the emperor, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be similar to other ordinary princes.

Thinking of this, Feng Manlou couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Zhao Yuankan was anxious and said, "Teacher, why are you still smiling." The students are dying. ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry!" Although Zhao Xiang now supports the second prince, he also has a gap with King Wei. Now the pursuit of the prince, aside from the emperor's current situation, is nothing more than the second prince and the king of Wei have the advantage. And if the two princes want to gain a firm foothold, they must have the help of Zhao Xiang and Sun Guifei. ”

Zhao Yuankan is young after all, how can he know the mystery of this, and among the ministers, no one has come up with an idea, he is very helpless, and said: "In this case, the teacher taught me, what should I do?" ”

Feng Manlou said: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is just right for you and King Wei, Lord Wang. The two princes and the two princes joined forces, plus Sun Guifei and Zhao Xiang's forces, should be able to compete with the king of Wei. Coupled with Sun Guifei helping on the side, at least ** didn't worry about King Wei making trouble. The rest is the affairs of the court, and the King of Wei has Lu Duoxun Lu Xiang, several princes, isn't there Zhao Xiang, and Zhao Xiang is still the prime minister, so naturally he also has a certain strength in the court, and he has been in business for so many years. ”

Zhao Yuankan was stunned, why have no people mentioned these things to him before, it seems that he and his eldest brother are really shallow.

But listening to Feng Manlou continued: "Also, who is the emperor's favorite among the ** now?" ”

Zhao Yuankan was stunned for a moment and said, "Then who else, of course it's Queen Li!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "Who is Queen Li?" She is the mother of a country and a figure in the world. The impact on the imperial court is not something that the prince can imagine. And she is deeply favored by the emperor, these points are destined to make Queen Li the most important person. The two princes can do more homework here with Queen Li! **, with Queen Li, Sun Guifei is naturally worry-free. Among the courtiers, with Zhao Xiang, you can also rest assured. ”

Zhao Yuankan thought for a while and said, "The teacher is right. Thank you for your answer! ”

Zhao Yuankan already had an idea in his heart, and Queen Li's situation was not much better, because after giving birth to a prince, she was no longer able to have children, and that prince died early. The biological mother of himself and his eldest brother is also surnamed Li, and this queen is also surnamed Li, and the queen has no heirs, so why not take the opportunity to worship this Queen Li as her mother.

As for how to win Queen Li, Zhao Yuankan already had an idea in his heart. I couldn't wait to go back and discuss with my eldest brother immediately, but when I thought of this, I said, "Thank you, teacher!" ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply. Feng Manlou was shocked, hurriedly held on, and said: "Lord Wang, this is to torture Weichen!" ”

Zhao Yuankan said sincerely: "The teacher is worthy of being Yuankan's teacher, this worship is the student's willingness, and the teacher must not refuse!" ”
