In Chinese history, there are many emperors who ascended the throne by coincidence, and it is reasonable to say that they will not be able to take their turn, and they themselves have not made any extravagant dreams about the throne.

For example, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Taizong Li Shimin's eldest grandson Empress is the son, the eldest Li Chengqian, the fourth Wei King Li Tai, and the ninth later Gaozong Li Zhi. Because the boss and the fourth boss fought and lost both, only the ninth Li Zhi was left.

There are also the later Song Huizong and Song Gaozong father and son, Song Huizong is because the emperor's eldest brother died without a queen, and the remaining brothers were either disabled or died early, so it was his turn to take the throne. His son Gaozong Zhao Gou is more exaggerated than him, Jingkang's shame, Huiqin Erzong has all the royal family members taken into exile, and only Zhao Gou is the only one who is qualified to inherit the throne.

In addition to the "lucky one" mentioned above, it is the later Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng who will appear here, before Zhao Heng inherited the unification, maybe all the ministers of the court and the central government did not consider that this somewhat cowardly Zhao Heng could ascend the throne and become the emperor. Before Zhao Heng, there were too many candidates who could become emperors, Taizong's younger brother Zhao Tingmei, Taizu's son Zhao Dezhao, Taizong's eldest son and second son, Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Yuanxi were all ranked in front of Zhao Heng.

But all kinds of coincidences began to appear, first of all, Zhao Tingmei, the person who should inherit the unification most according to the Jinkui Alliance, actually couldn't help jumping out to rebel and then failed.

Then there was Zhao Dezhao, who had a dispute with Taizong because of the Northern Expedition, and was actually provoked by Taizong's words and killed himself.

Zhao Yuanzuo, who followed suit, actually went crazy and made trouble in the palace because of Zhao Tingmei's affairs, and then naturally there was no more.

Finally, it is the current prince Zhao Yuanxi, since those are exposed and confirmed, his life is getting more and more sad day by day, although Zhao Guangyi retains his position as Kaifeng Yin, but in fact he is already very dissatisfied with this prince.

So the ministers below were about to start their actions at someone's behest.

This person is naturally Zhao Weiji, and after the first stage of retaliation is completed, it will naturally be the second stage. Through Gao Yu, Feng Hong and Zhang Gu's connections in the court, Zhao Weiji, released such a rumor: The official family is now very dissatisfied with the king of Luoyang and intends to change the prince. The best candidate is naturally the third son Zhao Heng, because according to the primogeniture inheritance system, under the premise that the eldest and second are disqualified, it is naturally the turn of the third son.

So the ministers should consider whether to stand in line, since ancient times, the most taboo in politics is to stand on the wrong team, if Zhao Yuanxi is really a ship to be sunk, these old foxes naturally do not need to be buried together, it is most appropriate to change the ship before the ship sinks.

So during this period of time, Zhao Heng's mansion, which was originally full of people, suddenly became crowded, and there were constantly ministers visiting him, and everyone came to say something vain, which made Zhao Heng very incomprehensible.

So he asked one of his aides, "What do these people mean?" ”

This person who is called Yong Hui is called Zhang Zhibai, who was the prime minister of the later Song Zhenzong period, and Yong Hui is his word, and he is a Jinshi in the second year of Duangong.

Zhang Zhibai's family was poor, and when he was nine years old, his father died in Xingzhou, and the coffin was parked in a Buddhist temple. When the Khitan invaded Hebei, most of the temples were decadent and abandoned, and the coffins could not be recognized. It was Zhao Weiji who retrieved his father's coffin and paid for burial, and then used it for him to be admitted to the Jinshi. Zhang Zhibai is very grateful to Zhao Weiji.

So when Zhang Zhibai was admitted to the Jinshi and entered the Longtu Pavilion, he approached Zhao Heng under Zhao Weiji's arrangement, although Zhang Zhibai didn't understand why Engong asked him to help a prince who had no future, but out of retribution, he still did it.

Now he understands that Engong is continuing to help him, and judging from the situation these days, Kaifeng Yin Zhao Yuanxi's position may be unstable. In this way, Zhao Heng has become the most favorable candidate for the next crown prince. Sending charcoal in the snow has always been more useful than icing on the cake, isn't the future of a person like him who stood here when Zhao Heng was the most troubled still have a bright future?

While being more and more grateful to this Engong in his heart, Zhang Zhibai also understood that the person who was manipulating behind the scenes might be Zhao Weiji, because although the previous incident was found to be unsubstantiated in the end, Zhao Yuanxi sent someone to assassinate Zhao Weiji The suspicion is still the greatest, since Engong is ready to retaliate by pulling Zhao Yuanxi off the throne of the prince, Zhang Zhibai must give the greatest support to Engong's actions. Because whether it is to repay his kindness or for his own political future, Zhao Heng's replacement of Zhao Yuanxi is the most beneficial to himself.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince."

"Where does the joy come from?"

"Doesn't the visit of these people just show that the official family intends to replace the prince, once the official family wants to replace the prince, you will naturally not be the second choice. Shouldn't you be congratulated? ”

Zhao Heng was a little frightened when he heard this, he had never considered the possibility of ascending to the throne, after all, there were many people before him who were much more likely than him in the matter of inheriting the throne.

"Don't talk nonsense, the second brother's position is still stable, how can he say that he will change it."

Hearing Zhao Heng say this, Zhang Zhibai chose not to speak for the time being, because he knew that Zhao Heng could not accept this fact for the time being, but ambition can always be cultivated, and when the situation becomes clearer and clearer, I don't believe that Zhao Heng will not have the ambition to be the emperor.

Zhang Zhibai was not wrong, although Zhao Heng had never thought about this kind of thing before, but when the possibility of becoming the emperor suddenly appeared one day, he naturally had a trace of longing in his heart. It's just that due to his own personality, Zhao Heng's heart was more filled with fear at this time, and this trace of longing was naturally ignored by him.

Naturally, the actions of the ministers in the capital could not be concealed from two people, that is, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Yuanxi.

In Zhao Guangyi's view, this is a very normal phenomenon, after all, because of the previous incident, he revealed the idea of changing the prince, these ministers are all old foxes, and they will take action if they are a little troubled. And at this time, Zhao Guangyi also wanted to see if the third child could make some moves, because the second child was really disappointed in him. Although the third child is a little cowardly in character, he is very smart. It would not be a good thing if the third child could rise to replace the second, at least it was his son who inherited his throne, not the descendants of the eldest brother. So Zhao Guangyi decided not to say a word and let the situation develop naturally.

But Zhao Yuanxi is different, what does he mean in his opinion as a minister in the court? My ship has only entered a little water, and it hasn't sunk yet, so you're going to jump ship?" Lao Tzu wrote that the money spent on you over the years was in vain.

Zhao Yuanxi, who was already in a sense of crisis because of Zhao Guangyi's punishment, has a feeling of doom coming at this moment. At this time, if someone can pull Zhao Yuanxi, he can be better. But at the moment, no one reached out to him.

His biggest ally Zhao Pu temporarily did not dare to have any contact with Zhao Yuanxu because of the last incident, and at this moment Zhao Pu did not go to Zhao Heng to join Zhao Heng is already the greatest support for Zhao Yuanxi, as for directly contacting Zhao Yuanxu to help him for the time being, it is impossible.

As the saying goes, a dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, a rabbit bites when he is in a hurry, not to mention a person in a hurry. At this time, Zhao Yuanxi felt that he needed to take a little action.

……

"He really can't hold it back, lord." Tie Zheng, who got the information that Zhao Yuanxi had started to act, came to report to Zhao Weiji as soon as possible.

"He's even more breathless than I thought." This is the first reaction of the river fish after hearing this message.

Zhao Pu didn't dare to contact him recently, without the mention of this old fox, it was strange that he could calm down. What do you think about the next step? Zhao Weiji said to the two with a smile while playing with a pair of walnuts.

"I think it's better to go with the flow, let's see what Zhao Yuanxi can make a name for himself." Anchovy is also very relaxed.

"Seconded." Seeing that these two were very relaxed, Tie Zheng naturally couldn't tense his nerves.

"Then let's do this first, just let the pigeon stare at Zhao Yuanxi first, and don't make any other moves. We try not to interfere with the use of obscurity to let him move freely, and only use to help when necessary. ”

"Okay, no problem."

"Then let's do it first, I have to go back and see the big-bellied woman at home." After speaking, Zhao Weiji rubbed the two walnuts and walked out of the study.

The big-bellied woman he said was naturally his wife Chai Yu, at this time Chai Yu's body had been seven months, and his body was quite heavy, and it was inconvenient to go out, so he had to pass the time at home every day.

As soon as Zhao Weiji entered the backyard, he saw Zhao Ling'er playing with sand there, after going to the beach last time, Zhao Ling'er became obsessed with playing with sand, so he always pestered Zhao Weiji to go again. Zhao Weiji, who really had no choice, had to build a sand pit in his back garden. After the sand pit was repaired, Zhao Linger didn't bother him anymore, but he played with sand every day.

"Dad, you're here." Zhao Ling'er ran towards Zhao Weiji with a hand full of sand.

Zhao Weiji picked up his daughter and asked, "Where are your mother and Aunt Nian?" ”

Zhao Ling'er wiped the sand on Zhao Weiji's chest and said, "Mother and Aunt Nian are basking in the sun over there." ”

"Oh, then you can go on. I'll go see them. After speaking, Zhao Weiji put Zhao Ling'er back into the sand pit, and then walked in the direction of Chai Yu.

When I walked over, I saw Chai Yu lying on the recliner with a big belly comfortably basking in the sun, and he still had sunglasses invented by Zhao Weiji on his eyes. There is also an umbrella next to the chaise longue. At this time, Zhao Weiji's only thought was to make it better to wear a bikini without a big belly.

Next to Chai Yu was Li Nian sitting there, still sewing a wedding dress in his hand.

It turned out that after Li Nian's injury was healed, Zhao Weiji had already proposed to Chai Yu about marrying Li Nian, and Chai Yu had already prepared for this matter, it would be better to say that your kid finally got his senses. Since his wife did not object, and Li Jiguang, who was far away in the northwest, naturally would not object, this matter was decided. It's just that because Chai Yu is pregnant with a child, Zhao Weiji naturally doesn't have a concubine during this period, so the marriage period will be delayed until after the child is full moon.

But although the marriage is not in a hurry, but the preparations must also be prepared, and this wedding dress is naturally one of them, so Li Nian's biggest pleasure every day is to show off the wedding dress to himself.

Seeing Zhao Weiji coming, Chai Yu didn't move, just took off his glasses, and then asked Zhao Weiji: "What's wrong with that?" ”
