People have a weakness, that is, emotions can influence judgment. When it is pleasing to your eyes, it will be more and more pleasing to the eyes, and when you are dazzling, it will be more and more dazzling. When he was raised in the palace, Zhao Zongji had a stubborn temperament and was not as likable as Zhao Zongshi, and from then on, Empress Cao favored Zongshi more.

As an adult, Zongji has a tough temperament and does not like to pander, and his relationship with the queen is naturally getting weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the two mothers, Zong Shi and Taotao, have been filial piety to the queen for ten years, and in Queen Cao's heart, the disparity between the two can be imagined.

In addition, in the past two years, Gao has spared no effort to say bad things about Zongji, not only herself, but also the people around the queen to say it...... Because the queen regards this niece as her daughter, most of the palace servants around her are trained by her, and naturally only the surging horse is the head.

Repeated a thousand times, the lie became true. And Zhao Shu and Chen Ke were wise and thoughtful, but they only ignored Empress Cao. This is not surprising, because this queen is so low-key, too submissive, she is simply the embodiment of female virtue, and people are not even aware of her existence.

In fact, as long as the official family is alive, Empress Cao really has no role to speak of...... In recent years, the couple often did not see each other for more than a month, and after a year, they could not say a few words.

For various reasons, Queen Cao's ears are full of praise for Zhao Zongshi, slander of Zhao Shu, the so-called crowd of people to make money, accumulate and destroy bones, in Queen Cao's heart, these two people are already one in their hearts, one in the pit, and they are judged to be like mud!

But this queen is too scrupulous to abide by women's morality, and her relationship with the emperor is already cold, so she doesn't dare to speak about national affairs, so although she is extremely sympathetic to Zongshi and disgusted with Zhao Shu, she still comforts and says: "This Zhao Shu is really bad, but the Great Song Dynasty can't help him, if you do evil, there will be evil retribution!" ”

"But my uncle-in-law was blinded by him," Gao said with tears in his eyes, "but he protected him everywhere." ”

"Yes......" Empress Cao was silent, she was in the palace. Knowing that if he was not careful, he might harm the whole family, and when he saw Gao talking about Zhao Zhen, he stopped talking.

"My uncle-in-law is that kind of person, no matter what jackals, tigers and leopards, I can't bear to hurt them." Seeing that Empress Cao could not be mobilized. Gao Tao hurriedly remedied, "That's what makes that guy more and more unscrupulous." ”

"Hmm." Empress Cao nodded and said: "The official family has been merciful for a lifetime, and now it will not change, you let Zongshi bear with it for the time being, I still say the same thing, evil is rewarded, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come!" ”

"Hmm. The child will pass this word on to him. Gao Tao nodded, knowing that she couldn't discuss this kind of problem with her aunt, so she turned to the parents, and the breathless topic disappeared.

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

After lunch at the queen's place, Gao took his two sons back.

As soon as I entered the house, I felt that the atmosphere was very depressing. Obviously, the prince is in the house. Since he came back from the palace that day, the prince could not see a trace of smile on his face, and he changed the leniency of the past, from the prince to the palace people, if he found the wrong place, he ordered people to beat him to death. It made the whole house angry and didn't dare to gasp.

I heard from the palace people that the prince was bored in the study in the afternoon and never came out. Gao asked Mama to take her two sons to study, and she passed through the guards, lifted the curtain and went into the inner study, and saw Zhao Zongshi wearing a black Taoist robe □ writing there with his face.

Gao stood quietly beside him and looked at him, Xu was too focused, Zhao Zongshi didn't notice anyone coming in, and was still working hard to write:

'The world is often changeable, the sea tide hides the undercurrent ≌ the moon is blind, this hatred will never end! ’

There are several sheets on the desk and underground, which have been written, all of which are 'Hate the fire in the middle of the night, burn the nine intestines!' ', 'Who will take away the hatred after the chaos, and there will be no more people in front of him', which is shocking.

Seeing him write on the paper one by one, like white bones, like a ghost crying wolf, obviously hatred has penetrated into the bone marrow, Gao Tao couldn't help but shudder.

Hearing the movement behind him, Zhao Zongshi suddenly turned his head, and when he saw that it was Gao's family, he breathed a sigh of relief, and used his body to block the big characters written and said, "You're back." ”

"Hmm," Gao Tao nodded, picked up the chair against the wall and sat down, looking away from the table, so that he would not be so nervous.

"What did the queen say?" Zhao Zongshi put down the pen, looked at the ink on his hand, sat next to Gao first, and asked urgently.

"My aunt shouldn't know that my uncle plans to set up Zhao Shu." Gao said softly: "She thought it was none other than you, and kept persuading me to say something like 'a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late'." ”

"I don't know, it's right≡ Zhao Zhen's temperament, and the relationship between the two of them, the queen may have been kept in the dark," Zhao Zongshi said with a sigh of relief: "This is beneficial to us." ”

"But she's too cautious." Gao frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid that with her temperament, I won't be able to count on it at that time." ”

"You're wrong." Zhao Zongshi shook his head categorically and said: "She is not a good stubble§ The palace assassination in the eighth year of the calendar, when the assassin killed outside the Funing Palace, the emperor palace in the palace was all at a loss, only she was in chaos, first hugged the official family tightly, did not allow him to check outside, and then ordered the palace door to be closed, no one was allowed to enter or exit, and at the same time asked the inner servants to shout loudly 'There are assassins', one to deter the thief, and the other to alarm the guards!" ”

Then she gave two more orders, one was to go and fetch water at once, and beware of the thieves setting fire to the palace; Both, ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to come, and she cut off their respective hairs with her own hands, saying that the heavens would reward them, as evidence. Zhao Zongshi continued: "These instructions are not clear, and after a while, there will be fires outside the palace gate, and the curtains inside the door will be lit. And the palace maids and eunuchs all did their best, and they supported until the guards arrived! After speaking, he said in a deep voice: "You say that with such a temperament, you can't count on it when the time comes?" ”

"Over the years, I have only seen my aunt endure a thousand times." Gao Shi was a little unconvinced: "I'm afraid it's already smoothed out." ”

"The country is easy to change and difficult to change," Zhao Zongshi shook his head and said: "The dog that bites people does not show its teeth, you will watch it when the time comes!" ”

"But is she really useful?"

"When Zhao Zhen is here, she is useless," Zhao Zongshi said coldly: "But once Zhao Zhen is gone, she is the one who decides the ownership of the throne!" ”

"However, we will have to set up a reserve next year." Gao's throat tightened a little, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Once the prince is established, I am afraid that my aunt will not risk the disapproval of the world." ”

"......" Zhao Zongshi pursed his lips tightly before he looked up at Gao for a long time, and said with a faint ghost fire burning in his eyes: "He will naturally go when he should go......"

Gao's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but tremble all over, and only after a while did he say in horror: "You actually have such a thought......

"Is there any other way to go?" Zhao Zongshi said coldly: "Zhao Shu became the emperor, and there is still a way for me to live?" ”

"Didn't you say that my uncle-in-law wanted to give us a gold medal to avoid death, and Zhao Shu had to make an oath?" Gao persuaded in vain.

"Hmph, woman's opinion!" Zhao Zongshi snorted. "That's just his delaying tactic, Emperor Taizong also swore to Taizu's wife and children to share the wealth, what was the result? It's not all about him dead! As he spoke, he leaned forward, approached his wife, grabbed her wrist with his ink-stained hand, and said, "We have no way out, do you understand!" ”

"But," Gao said with tears in his eyes, "once you lose, you will be wiped out......

"No, it won't." Zhao Zongshi let go of his hand and said in a calm tone: "This matter is foolproof, and no one can detect it, I will never be like Taizong, who will make people poke their backbones for thousands of years." ”

"Oh?" Gao's is not so easy to coax: "After the defilement of the palace that year, the official family was surrounded by many precautions, and even the diet had to be tried by Xiaohuangmen before using it......"

"Humph!" Zhao Zongshi knew that Gao was a very ambitious woman who was also very capable of making big things. She has her own judgment in everything, and she doesn't want her to rest assured, so she doesn't want her to cooperate with her heart, and said in a low voice: "Yes, he is indeed very strict in guarding, and it is said that whether it is assassination or poisoning, it is impossible to succeed." But he's sick......"

Gao naturally knew that Zhao Zhen suddenly fell into a coma seven years ago, and only woke up a few days later, but after waking up, he was speechless and forgetful, so he was silent in the court, and then slowly recovered before he could speak again. But his body is still very weak, he will get tired after talking and walking for a long time, and he can't walk in a straight line, and his speech is slurred...... Of course, only those who are careful will find out, but if they find out, they will not tell the emperor and ask for trouble.

"What kind of disease the official family has, over the years, the imperial doctor can't find out." Gao said softly: "Could it be that the prince knows?" ”

"That's because the hospital is full of idiots." Zhao Zongshi said coldly: "Actually, it's not the first time that Zhao Zhen has committed this disease. On August 11 of the first year of Jing You, he also fainted suddenly, and he did not know the personnel for several days. Later, the eldest princess of Wei recommended a miracle doctor, and he was cured between the envelopes under the needle, and he did not repeat the crime for more than 20 years after Zhao Zhen recovered, so the imperial doctors did not link these two crimes. ”

"If you can really connect," Gao was extremely smart, and suddenly said: "You will understand that there is at least one person who knows what kind of disease the official family has!" ”

"Yes, it's the one who treated him back then!" Zhao Zongshi nodded and said: "That person's name is Xu Xizhen, and later he was awarded the title of Hanlin Medical Officer, and he also received a heavy reward!" ”

"So, I have an impression, too." Gao said: "Later, Mr. Xu used this money to build a Bian Que Temple in the west of the city, and before it was repaired, a large number of students from all over the country flocked to it. Later, the imperial court simply opened the Imperial Medical Bureau there. ”

Shamefully said, there is one more.
