At noon, he entered the heavily guarded palace compound, and did not come out of the palace until the evening when Zhao Xiaoxi accompanied Zhao Xu for a meal. In addition to completing the goals that need to be achieved for this return, he has also regained the trust of the imperial grandmother and the emperor, and the two forbidden palace tokens representing their identities are enough to make it much easier for Zhao Xiaoxi to come in in the future.

When he took himself to see Zhao Xu, he went to visit the princess's sister Zhao Yu, and the brother and sister returned to the Xu Wangfu where the candles had been lit one after another. Previously, they had been notified by the palace that both brothers and sisters were left in the palace for dinner. Therefore, King Xu Zhao Hao also sighed that his luck was indeed good. I haven't returned for five years, and it's really rare to get such grace when I come back.

When I came back and saw the eldest brother Zhao Xiaoqian, who was also tall but a lot thinner, the two brothers naturally had endless intimate words. When Zhao Xiaoxi asked him how he had gained today, the eldest brother, who was two years older than him, looked a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoxi knew that the eldest brother had something to gain.

In the end, he couldn't bear Zhao Xiaoxi's repeated questioning, and the eldest brother said with some sorrow that he was the granddaughter of Liu Anshi, the second Guanglu doctor of the dynasty. This is somewhat in conflict with the rules that most of the children of the royal family marry the daughters of military generals. If you want to succeed in this family business, I am afraid it will be a little difficult without the consent of the pair of ancestors and grandchildren in the palace.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who understands the background of this Guanglu doctor, knows very well that his current scenery will come to an end in three years. Once that grandmother passed away, the cousin who had been suppressed for eight years would vigorously purge these former ministers who were puppet emperors, and I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse to have such an in-laws.

Looking at the expectation in the eyes of this eldest brother, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew that this eldest brother was so happy to go home. I dare to put the work of this lobbyist in my own hands.

quickly smiled and said: "Okay, since the eldest brother has taken a fancy to the woman of the Liu family and plans to marry me as my sister-in-law, then I naturally have to make some efforts to be a little brother-in-law." However, are you sure that the Liu family will agree to this family business? It's not difficult to get my grandmother to agree with Xiaoliu, but it's a little difficult to get them to marry! If your father and mother go to propose marriage, but the Liu family doesn't recognize you, a hairy-footed son-in-law, it will be very embarrassing! ”

Hearing that Li Xiaoxi was willing to help, Li Xiaoqian said excitedly: "As long as grandmother and Xiaoliu agree, the Liu family will definitely agree, Xiaoqi has told me." Her grandfather was afraid that Xiaoliu would not agree, saying that the marriage between a civil official and the royal family would attract the suspicion of the royal family. As long as the grandmother and Xiaoliu do not object, the Xiaoqi family will not object. ”

Looking at Li Xiaoqian's excited face, Li Xiaoxi quipped: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I know that I have secretly crossed into a warehouse." Tell me honestly, have you known the girl from the Liu family for a long time, and have been waiting for my brother and me to come back and be a lobbyist for you?

No, this lobbyist can't be in vain, why should I be my sister-in-law and let me see it first. Otherwise, you call her out tomorrow, and the two of you invite me to Quanwei Building for a meal. I'm so happy that I'll help you be this lobbyist. Guarantee that you will eventually become married. What do you think? ”

Knowing that this younger brother will not regret what he promised, Li Xiaoqian has not married the princess until now, and it is really as Li Xiaoxi expected, waiting for this younger brother who has a close relationship with the two in the palace to come back. Because he will have this concept of free love, to a large extent, it was also encouraged by Lee Hyo-seok since he was a child.

Although it is not cheap to go to Quanwei Building for a meal, for the sake of future happiness, Li Xiaoqian still agreed without thinking about it. Tomorrow, call the girl of the Liu family out and ask him, the matchmaker, to be a lobbyist, so that the two of them can finally combine the men and women who have a good impression of them. Moreover, not all of the sons and sons of the royal family who have been passed down to this day are married to the daughters of military attachés.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, the eldest brother naturally went back to the room to rest, so that the younger brother, who had just come back today, could rest early.

Just as Lee Hyo-seok was about to rest, he heard familiar footsteps outside the door, and quickly got up to open the door. I saw my father, Zhao Hao, walking back and forth at the door of the room with some hesitation.

'Father, you haven't rested so late?' Is there something wrong with looking for a son? Come in and talk about it! It just so happens that my son wants to tell you something! ’

Saying that, the father who has been waiting for news since Zhao Xiaoxi entered the palace was invited into the room, and after bringing tea and sitting down. Zhao Hao also asked directly whether he had talked about the fiefdom when he entered the palace this time.

In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "I have already negotiated with the official family, and I plan to give me the title of King of Bashu County after my crown ceremony." The fief is in Shuzhou, and he also takes over the envoy of Chengdu Prefecture and improves all military and political affairs of Chengdu Prefecture. ”

As soon as the crown ceremony was given, he was given the title of county king, and he also served as a high-ranking and powerful official like the Jiedu Envoy, even if he knew that this son had a good relationship with the current saint, Zhao Hao was also taken aback by this answer.

Very surprised: "Is the official family so relieved of you?" ”

Zhao Xiaoxi said very calmly: "Being an emperor will never worry about anyone, the key depends on the people he trusts, whether he is worthy of his trust in the end, but fortunately, I am still worthy of his trust." However, whether this conferral can be passed in the court or not, it is indispensable to need the help of the imperial grandmother. In addition, if the ministers of the DPRK and China do not object, it may be passed.

It's just that if anyone dares to hinder my future, don't care if I play tricks and don't forgive people when the time comes. Anyway, they don't worry about me leaving, so I'm going to let them send me off. As for you, father, it's better not to express your opinion on this matter. I haven't been back for a few years, and I'm afraid that many people will forget about my experience as a demon king of the mixed world.

Before leaving, let those who know that it is good for them to leave, and believe that there should be no mistake with this gift. Moreover, my appointment as the envoy of the Chengdu Prefecture this time was also deliberately arranged by the officials. Going against me is small, and the consequences of going against the officials, I'm afraid anyone should weigh it carefully! ”

For officials who dare to stand on the opposite side of him, Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't care who he is, and his collapse doesn't count if he doesn't play. You must know that this is related to a nation's ability to avoid bad luck and complete the great thing of rejuvenation, and how can Zhao Xiaoxi easily give it up?

Listening to this son even say threatening words, Zhao Hao knew that what he said really did it. just heard that this was the nephew's intentional arrangement, and couldn't help but be curious: "Is it difficult for the official family to let you go there as a festival envoy, what is the deep meaning?" ”

For this curious father, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled bitterly: "Father, sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much about things, please forgive my son for not being able to tell you about this matter for the time being." You just need to know that what your son does at all times is for the sake of the family. As for my father's suspicion that Xiaoliu has not been removed, I can only say that you guessed correctly.

Xiao Liu is not as incompetent as you think, and even after today's observation, I found that if you give him time, he is very likely to become the master of the Great Song Dynasty. As for where things will go in the future, we can only wait and see what happens. Don't look at the emperor's grandmother now listening to the government, those Sima officials are favored.

Once the grandmother abeded, the result that awaited them was to be purged from the court. Therefore, what did my father do in the past, and what he will do in the future, to ensure that he is loyal to the royal family and does not participate in any partisan disputes to ensure the safety of the palace. As for the son, wherever he goes, I am the son of my father. Isn't it? ”

In order to give this father a certain amount of time to adapt, Zhao Xiaoxi revealed for the first time that he is not the kind of person who is brave and ruthless in the eyes of others. On the contrary, he knows better than anyone the direction of the future government. Telling his father these is to hope that he will not make the same mistakes as before, and being a prince of peace is the most important thing he should do.

Zhao Hao, who felt that this son was a little strange for the first time, suddenly felt a heartfelt excitement. Because compared to the eldest son Xiaoqian, he is a nerd, and it is good to be able to keep this foundation. originally thought that the second son, Hyo-seok, might have a different path as a child of the royal family. Now he found that the second son's scheming and intelligence were extraordinary.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Zhao Hao really no longer asked what agreement the nephew and his son had made in private, but said curiously: "Since you know that Xiaoliu will purge the powerful officials left by your imperial grandmother in the future, why do you agree to be a lobbyist for your brother, so that our palace can climb to such a civil official house that is about to fall?" ”

Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Sometimes, being too perfect will make people feel abnormal. If our family marries the Liu family, others will definitely think that our palace has any bad intentions in the early days. What if the Liu family falls?

Then this kind of suspicion is afraid that it will turn into ridicule, right? Do we have bad intentions, don't our father and I know it? A palace without the help of relatives is believed to be a relative that every emperor can rest assured, right? More reasons, I believe that there is no need for the son to say anything, and it is not difficult to guess with the wisdom of the father, right? ”

Being able to make a layout in advance according to the situation of the government and the opposition is enough to prove that this son's political talent is far from being judged by words such as courage and strategy. On the contrary, Zhao Hao thought of the second son, who did seemingly nonsense things when he was a child. Isn't it precisely the situation that brought him today, so that the two ancestors and grandchildren who were originally opposite each other look at him differently?

Is it deliberately disguised for something? Or are you pretending to be stupid?

As Zhao Hao, who has been in the political struggle for many years, he almost knows it through this conversation. If he has such a son, what else does he have to regret and worry about?
