Chapter 466: Blood is thicker than water
Zhao Ji also took a sip of wine and said, "Yes, the world is like this, the cycle of cause and effect, there is life and death, there is rise and fall, and only in this way can the fairness of God be revealed." ”
Zhao Tianci was very unaccustomed to discussing these ethereal things, and he couldn't answer, so he had to keep his head down and eat vegetables.
Zong Wang looked at Zhao Tianci and asked, "Brother Wan, does the emperor suspect that I killed Duan Zhiwen's mouth?" ”
Zhao Tianci nodded, "Yan Qing is also suspicious!" ”
Zong Wang smiled, "Actually, in my eyes, little brother, you are the most suspicious, but because you saved the emperor's life, there is no suspicion." ”
Zhao Tianci smiled, "That's right." ”
Zhao Ji said, "Yan Qing will never do that kind of thing, the master is here, his mind is on the teacher, and he won't take care of other things." ”
Zhao Tianci said, "I use a sword to kill people, and I never use hidden weapons." ”
Zong Wang smiled bitterly, "In this way, there is only one suspect left!" ”
Zhao Tianci's face became strange, "Why?" ”
Zong Wang said, "When the rabbit is surrounded by wolves, what does it want to happen the most?" ”
Zhao Ji didn't make a sound, Zhao Tianci said, "Let the wolves mess up first, and then it will take the opportunity to escape or profit from it!" ”
Zong Wang raised his glass and touched him, "You are a smart person!" ”
After a few glasses of wine, Zong Wang was already a little slurred. Zhao Ji frowned and said, "Master, you can't drink anymore." ”
Zong Wang waved his hand, tears welled up in his eyes, "Lord Wang, little brother Wan, my Zong Wang has been conceited all my life, and I have never bowed my head to anyone, but ...... Ever since my eldest brother died by the river, I have had a lot of insights, perhaps...... This path is not for us. ”
Zhao Ji sighed and said, "There are many things you don't have to choose. Compared with being the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, I enjoy the current prince more, I can do what I want to do, without worrying about what others will say, and I don't have to care about right and wrong. ”
Zong Wang suddenly grabbed Zhao Tianci's hand and said, "Little brother, you tell the emperor a word to see if it is possible for him to allow me to tell the old man and return to seclusion, I ...... I'm really tired! ”
Zhao Tianci's heart trembled slightly, the strong man in front of him with a lonely face, his frustration was from the heart, and it was by no means pretended. He shook the rough palm, "Taishi, it's too early for you to say anything now, I think it won't be long before the people of the four major clans will make a move, and only by helping the emperor get through the current crisis will you be able to get out of the way." ”
Zong Wang let go of his hand and looked at Zhao Ji, "Lord Wang, if I go into hiding in the future, can I ask Lord Wang to open a secret place in the south and let me die in the mountains and forests?" ”
Zhao Ji shook his head, "Taishi said and laughed. Those who can really retire are all nameless, characters like Taishi, everywhere they go, they are open, and there is nowhere to hide! ”
Zong Wang was extremely disappointed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all again, and said abruptly, "The world is so big, is there no place for my Zong Wang?" ”
"Taishi, you drank too much!" Zhao Ji stood up and took the wine glass in front of Zong Wang, "You can't drink anymore." ”
"Lord Wang...... I...... Didn't drink much! Zong Wang also tried to stand up, but his body shook and he almost fell to the ground, and was supported by Zhao Tianci's arm from the side.
Zhao Ji shook his head, "Someone!" ”
The people in Zongwang's mansion were obviously very familiar with this Tianshui County King, and the three subordinates walked in and said respectfully, "Lord Wang! ”
Zhao Ji pointed at Zongwang, "Your master is drunk, help him to rest." ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" The three of them helped Zong Wang up and walked towards the inner room. At this time, Zong Wang couldn't open his eyes anymore, and said vaguely, "Wang...... Lord, ...... for me Accompany...... Give...... Wan Brothers......"
Zhao Tianci saw that he was really drunk, so he got up and said, "Lord Wang, I should also go." ”
Zhao Ji said, "Okay, I'll send you!" ”
The two walked out side by side, Zhao Tianci deliberately fell half a step behind, Zhao Ji said in an inaudible voice, "It doesn't have to be like this!" ”
Zhao Tianci was slightly wrong, "Don't dare!" ”
The people from Zongwang's mansion accompanied them to the door from afar, and Zhao Ji suddenly said, "Yan Qing's injury has not healed, do you want to go to my mansion to see him?" ”
Zhao Tianci was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Ji, and saw that his eyes were clear, and he didn't have any intention of drinking, so he hugged his fists, "If I can, then I'll go to the prince's mansion and ask for a glass of wine!" ”
Zhao Ji nodded, didn't speak, bowed down the luxury sedan chair parked not far away, and then poked his head out of the side window and said, "Come with me!" ”
Zhao Tianci flew on his horse, took the two people to follow behind the sedan chair, and walked westward without hurrying.
After walking for about half an hour, the big sedan chair in front of it stopped in front of a vermilion lacquer mansion, Zhao Tianci looked sideways, and saw a few big characters written on the eaves of the eaves and the dragon and the phoenix dance: Tianshui County Palace.
"Well, I wrote it myself." Zhao Ji stepped down from the sedan chair while he was concentrating on the plaque.
Zhao Tianci hurriedly turned over the saddle and dismounted, bowed slightly and said, "The kid doesn't dare to comment!" ”
Zhao Ji didn't say anything, he entered the door with his head held high, and Zhao Tianci followed quickly behind.
When you enter it, you suddenly open up, and it's a completely different world. At this point, Zhao Tianci was completely convinced that the preferential treatment they had received here was not false at all. In this big mansion, rockeries are all over the place, and pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere, which is not the architectural style of the golden people at all.
He walked all the way and watched, and the people below stood on both sides. After coming to the main hall, Zhao Ji instructed, "Go and invite the county prince to come over!" Then he took Zhao Tianci and continued to walk to the back compartment.
"Lord Wang......" Zhao Tianci couldn't help but be a little suspicious when he saw him leading him more and more remotely, "Where does the prince want to take me?" ”
Zhao Ji raised his hand, "Don't speak yet." ”
After walking for a while, the two came to a small thatched house, Zhao Ji took out a key from his arms, opened the rusty lock on the door, and pushed the door open, "Go in!" ”
Zhao Tianci stepped into the house, the room was dimly lit, and there was a smell of decay.
Zhao Ji then walked in, and closed the door with a bang, and the room became even darker.
Zhao Tianci was stunned.
This is an ancestral hall!
The only piece of furniture in the room was a large table, which was neatly filled with spirit tablets, from Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to Gaozong Zhao Gou, and there was even a tablet of Song Jianzong, but there was no tablet of Huizong and Qinzong. And that Song Jianzong is his Zhao Tianci's emperor name.
"This is the tablet of my ancestors and ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, kneel!" Zhao Ji said and knelt down slowly, Zhao Tianci was vain in front of him, and Zhao Ji in front of him changed his previous relaxed freehand, his face was full of desolation, his eyes drooped slightly, and there were words in his mouth.
"Father, are you looking for me, ......" The door was pushed open, and a slightly blessed figure appeared at the door, Zhao Tianci looked back, and the man looked at each other, and suddenly froze there.
"Come in, close the door!" Zhao Ji's voice was very pale and weak.
Zhao Tianci knew that the person was Zhao Huan of Qinzong, and he turned sideways to the side in shock, Zhao Huan kept looking at him, and came to Zhao Ji and knelt down slowly.
"You don't want to kneel?" Zhao Ji still had his eyes half-closed and asked coldly.
Zhao Tianci hesitated, and finally came behind Zhao Huan and knelt down.
"You shouldn't have come!" Zhao Ji muttered, "This place doesn't belong to you, just keep Jiangnan." ”
Zhao Huan's voice trembled and asked, "Are you really ...... The child of the ninth brother? ”
Zhao Tianci has completely understood so far, his identity can still be concealed in front of others, but he can't hide it in front of these two ancestors at all, maybe this is blood!
"Heavenly gift to see the imperial grandfather, the imperial uncle!" Zhao Tianci kowtowed heavily on his head, his nose was sore, and two lines of tears flowed.
Zhao Ji's throat moved, he didn't make a sound, his body trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath for a long time and asked, "Your father...... Are you okay? ”
Zhao Tianci said, "It's not good! ”
"What's wrong with the ninth brother?" Zhao Huan hurriedly asked.
"He's sick!" Zhao Tianci said, "The mouth can't speak, and the limbs can't move." ”
Zhao Ji sighed and lowered his head, "It's still here!" ”
Zhao Tianci was silent.
After a while, Zhao Ji asked again, "Now the country is in charge of you?" ”
Zhao Tianci said, "My father gave me the throne......"
Zhao Ji turned his head suddenly, glared at him angrily and asked, "Then what are you still doing here?" Your uncle and I are alive and well, and we don't need you to rescue us! ”
Zhao Tianci lowered his head and said, "Grandpa Huang, I have already made Bo Cong the crown prince, I ......"
"You didn't plan to go back when you came, did you?" Zhao Huan asked sharply.
Zhao Jiyang sighed, "Days, these are all days!" The Great Song Dynasty will eventually return to the hands of Taizu. ”
Zhao Tianci didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this, in fact, if Wan Linggen's consciousness was not separated from him, whether it was Zhao Ji or Zhao Huan, it would be impossible to recognize him at a glance, and now everything is completely based on the kind of blood and family affection between each other, and it is no longer under the control of reason.
Zhao Ji took a deep breath and said, "We all know about your affairs in the Sixteen States. It can't be celebrated openly, but everyone is happy. Where are your centaurs now? ”
Zhao Tianci said, "It has been cleared, and the advance troops have assembled in Dading Mansion in Zhongjing." ”
Zhao Huan exclaimed, "You've already arrived there?" Jin Ren ...... How could they be unaware? ”
Before Zhao Tianci could speak, Zhao Ji said, "No matter what, you remember, in the land of the Jin people, don't do that again." ”
Zhao Tianci didn't understand what he meant, Zhao Ji said softly, "Even if you leave a piece of land for your imperial grandfather and imperial uncle!" ”
Zhao Tianci was stunned, "You guys...... Don't want to go back? ”
Zhao Huan smiled bitterly, "Don't say that the Jin people go up to the princes and princes, down to the common people, they all respect us, even if we are willing to go back, it is bound to be another battle for the right position, and it will inevitably be a civil strife, and there is no benefit to my Great Song Dynasty." What's the point of us going back? ”
Zhao Tianci was silent when he boarded.
Zhao Ji said again, "Xizong intends to marry your three imperial aunts, if this matter can be done, my Zhao family will have another bloodline, what Jin people or Song people, what else is it important to worry about?" ”
Zhao Tianci didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.
Zhao Ji said, "I don't care what you want to do here, you just remember this matter, help us make more good karma, even if it is to repay us!" ”
Zhao Tianci leaned over and bowed to the ground, without saying a word. (To be continued.) )
