Li Chu!

Zhao Shu looked at the payment on this and fell into contemplation and contradiction. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Qilin army rose in Ruzhou, killed the county of Xiangcheng County and rebelled, as the prince of the court, Zhao Shu naturally went to inquire about the news over there as soon as possible, and inquired about Li Chu's past, and this Li Chu sold snacks in Rufen Town naturally entered Zhao Shu's ears.

No one would have thought that Li Chuhui, a little man who used to sell food on the streets, would rise up in Rufen Town overnight, and also led troops into Xiangcheng County, killed the county Zun Lian Jin, and removed the banner of rebellion, and in the next few imperial court encirclements and suppressions, not only defeated the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, but also played its prestige, and the entire Qilin Army was known to the world in a breath.

Originally, it was thought that the imperial court would send 200,000 troops to exterminate the Qilin Army, and at the same time march west to eliminate Wang Qing.

What I didn't expect was that the 200,000 imperial army inexplicably descended to Li Chu of the Qilin Army.

What kind of demagogic magic does this Li Chu have?

Not only Zhao Shu, but the entire courtiers were shocked by the news.

200,000 imperial court troops, 200,000, although this slogan is inflated, but the actual soldiers and horses are about 160,000, as a result, but in a few days, all of them voted for the unicorn army without a sound.

This incident shocked the government and the opposition!

The impact is too bad, the impact is too great, and the impact is too wide, so that such a big thing is still pressed underneath, blocking the news from the officials.

The matter of Liang Shanjun's defection to the Qilin Army is now unknown to only the officials above.

On this matter, the courtiers in the court almost all remained unanimous, and no one mentioned this matter, and no one said anything. When this matter first reached Bianjing City, Cai Jing even personally killed the soldiers who came with the news, for fear that this matter would spread.

The Liangshan Army was recommended by Cai Jing to exterminate the Qilin Army.

The Liangshan army surrendered to the imperial court, and Gao Yu played a great role in it.

The crown prince Zhao Heng and his family advocated the extermination of the Qilin Army.

That Tong Guan also scolded him because of the slogan of the Qilin Army's uprising, and also advocated using the Liangshan Army to exterminate the Qilin Army.

There are other courtiers, almost every courtier has been involved in this matter, and now everyone in Liangshanjun's defection to the Qilin Army is dishonorable, and everyone is guilty if they really want to pursue it.

In the eyes of Song Huizong, he thought that the Liangshan army was still exterminating the thieves.

Yes, after the Liangshan Army rebelled and defected to the Qilin Army, the courtiers blocked the news as soon as possible, and the various factions reached an agreement on this matter.

And the people also forbade the spread of this matter.

Although Zhao Shu rarely asked about the affairs of the court on the surface, nothing that happened in the court did not know the details.

Currently, Song Huizong has twenty-seven sons.

In addition to the six who died early, there are still twenty-one princes.

Most of these twenty-one princes are still young and children, and have little influence in the future struggle for the throne.

Among them, the eldest son Zhao Huan has been crowned crown prince five years ago.

However, the position of this prince is not very secure.

Zhao Huan can be crowned as the crown prince, it is nothing more than relying on the identity of the eldest son, plus the mother is the queen, the queen has died of illness twelve years ago, Zhao Huan can be crowned the crown prince, and Song Huizong has a trace of guilt for the queen who died of illness.

However, guilt is guilt, but in fact, Zhao Huan does not like Song Huizong.

In the past two years, the slogan of the court proposing to abolish the crown prince has become stronger and stronger.

In addition to the crown prince Zhao Huan, among the remaining twenty princes, only Zhao Kai, the king of Sanyun, Zhao Shu, the king of Wusu, Zhao Qi, the king of Liujing, Zhao Xu, the king of Qiji, Zhao Yan, the king of Bayi, and Zhao Gou, the king of Jiukang, still have a little bit of competition. The second and fourth died early, among which the seventh Zhao Xu is only fourteen years old this year, and he still has to wait for Xia Yue to turn fourteen.

And the old Jiukang King Zhao Gou, although one year younger than Zhao Xu, but his mother is Wei Xianfei, although a little younger, but there is also a little bit of competition, the key is that Wei Xianfei and the current Empress Zheng have a very close relationship, Wei Xianfei was originally Empress Zheng's palace maid, because of Empress Zheng's recommendation, she became a waiter, and then gradually rose to the current concubine.

In addition, Empress Zheng's son Zhao Ta died early, and he has not come out since then, so Empress Zheng also treats Zhao Gou as her own son.

Although Zhao Gou is young, he has the support of the harem, which is the greatest help for the princes to compete for the throne.

Zhao Gou has a harem, but Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, has the love of Song Huizong.

Zhao Kai is extremely fond of painting and has a lot of accumulation. Good at painting flowers and birds, extremely exquisite. He is also good at ink flowers, but the ink is coarse and not vivid. His love is basically no different from Song Huizong's love, and he is quite literary, he once secretly participated in the imperial examination in the first year of Chonghe, because his literary talent is indeed extraordinary, he was invincible all the way and entered the palace examination. He played even better in the palace examination and won the first place.

To borrow a sentence from Li Shimin, Zhao Kai in the eyes of Song Huizong is: 'This sub-class is me'.

In the eyes of the courtiers, Zhao Kai was not only literary but also virtuous.

Is it a long, or a virtuous?

This is one of the most intense topics of quarrel in the court, with the growth of Zhao Kai, coupled with the fact that Song Huizong did not like Zhao Huan, he also intended to abolish the prince and set up Zhao Kai as the new prince, which led to the more intense this matter became.

Among the remaining qualified princes, there is basically no advantage.

Except for Zhao Shu, who is a little older, and Zhao Qi, King Jing, the rest have nothing to worry about.

The five princes, if they are arranged in the most qualified and highest-voiced way.

Zhao Kai is the first, followed by Zhao Huan, then Zhao Gou, then Zhao Shu, and finally Zhao Qi.

If the time goes back a few years, as Zhao Gou grows up, I am afraid that Zhao Gou's voice will be higher than Zhao Huan's by then, provided that Zhao Huan's crown prince position is not abolished.

With three mountains on his head, Zhao Shu is under a lot of pressure!

Compared with these three elder brothers, he did not have a mother who was the queen, second, he did not have the literary talent of Song Huizong, and third, he did not have the support of a good harem.

Zhao Shu's mother was just an ordinary Xiuyi, who had no status in the harem, and was not favored by Song Huizong, and died of illness when Zhao Shu was ten years old.

If you really want to say anything, he, Zhao Shu, is the last of the five princes.

Because Zhao Qi still has a mother concubine, and she is also Qiao Guifei.

Concubine Qiao was also the same as Zhao Gou's mother, Wei Guifei, who was also Empress Zheng's maid. Compared with Wei Guifei, Qiao Guifei was favored earlier than Wei Guifei, but unfortunately she did not have Wei Guifei's ruthlessness, and after being favored, she took the initiative to recommend Wei Guifei, which led to Wei Guifei's ascendancy.
