Chapter 119: The Virtuous King

Then I heard the guest at the next table say: "Last month, I saw him with my own eyes, bought a bun at the deer family's bun shop, and paid a piece of gold. After saying that, he gave another piece of gold. ”

"I saw him sitting with a beggar in a hundred clothes!" Another humanitarian: "The one who asks for food sings 'Lotus Falls'" He made bamboo boards for people on the side, and when he came to eat, he grabbed it with his hands and ate ......"

"And last winter, when it was snowing heavily, he ran out of his house, wearing single clothes and pants, barefoot, running circles around Bianjing City, which I saw all."

Zhao Zongji went crazy? Chen Ke couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately shook his head, how could it be? From this guy's scratch-and-cover letter, I can't see the slightest madness, it's true that he has a serious literary and youth disease......

He was about to ask out loud, when he heard a commotion downstairs, and a few palace guards wearing soap-colored suits rushed up, clasping their fists at everyone and saying: "Everyone, my second son wants to meet here, please go to other houses for tea, and my master will treat you." ”

When everyone saw it, it was the guards of the Beihai County Palace, and they were already a little weak-hearted, so why would they not agree? And they all dispersed obediently. After inspecting the teahouse, the guards also retreated.

On the second floor of the teahouse, only Chen Ke was left.

After a while, I saw a Zhao Zongji, who was wearing a gold pattern account, wearing a gorgeous embroidered silk shirt, stepping on thin-bottomed powder boots, wearing a red belt around his waist, shaking a golden folding fan, and looking like eleven golden toads, and swayed upstairs.

Look at him like this. Chen Ke couldn't help but smile: "You should change this face."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Zongji brushed it and unfolded the folding fan in his hand, only to see four big words written on it: 'Lonely Fang self-appreciation,!

'Poof......' Chen Ke almost sprayed him and said: "Your face with thick eyebrows and big eyes is a positive character at first glance." There is really no gentleman's demeanor. ”

"I'll keep trying." Zhao Zongji sat down, looked at Chen Ke and said, "You shouldn't come here." ”

"Why?" Chen Ke smiled: "Because you are the elder brother of the golden branch and jade leaf, you can't climb high." ”

"It can be understood that way." Zhao Zongji shook his fan and said: "I am a person with status, and if I associate with ordinary people like you, I will be laughed at by my friends." ”

"Put that thing together, fan it in February, you're not afraid to fan your snot out?!" Chen Ke's temper was not good, and when he had grass growing in his heart, he lowered his face and said: "Is it pretending to be crazy and stupid for a long time, and it really becomes brainless?" ”

The fan in Zhao Zongji's hand stopped shaking, and a strange expression appeared on his face: "Could it be that my acting skills are so poor?" ”

"It's not just bad", Chen Ke shook his head and said: "It's miserable." Let me give you a suggestion, the next time you run naked on a snowy day, it is much more effective than wearing clothes. ”

"It seems that I am really not that material", Zhao Zongji smiled self-deprecatingly: "But it doesn't matter, just when the grace arrives." ”

"The little prince has a good trick of 'pretending to be crazy to avoid trouble', which is really admirable." Chen Ke couldn't help but sneer: "Do you want to pretend like this for the rest of your life?" ”

"Who knows...... Zhao Zongji said with a gloomy expression: "When I don't need it, I naturally won't pretend." ”

"I'm afraid that when it happens, you won't be able to tell the difference between crazy and fake." Chen Ke sighed and said, "You are like this, which makes Ouyang Gong very sad. ”

"It turns out that he told you everything......" Zhao Zongji lowered his head deeply and said: "Otherwise, what should I do, I can't cause trouble to my father and brother." ”

"Who will bring disaster to you?" Chen Ke asked in a deep voice.

"You still don't know." Zhao Zongji raised his head and said again: "You really shouldn't come to see me......

"Nonsense" Chen Ke laughed loudly: "Even the emperor Lao'er can't stop me from coming to see my brother!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense...... Zhao Zongji said this, but his nose was sour, and he shook Chen Ke's hand tightly: "I will affect you." ”

"Today's official family is benevolent, how can you care about your relationship with a little person like me?" Chen Ke smiled: "What's more, it's impossible for you to go up." ”

"I'm not worried about the official family...... Zhao Zongji said in a low voice: "It's my brother ......"

"Zhao Zongshi?"

"Hmm." Zhao Zongji nodded, and then advised: "You must be careful, although your martial arts are strong, don't go alone like this......

"No, I heard that he is a Confucian king and a virtuous king praised by everyone." On the way here, Chen Ke specially asked the idle people about Zhao Zongshi's situation. Xu felt that this money was too easy to earn, and the idle people praised Zhao Zongshi very hard, what filial piety, benevolence, studiousness, humility, courtesy, approachability, and good temper...... Jiao Yulu in the entire 11th century.

'Isn't there a drawback?' , Chen Ke didn't believe it.

'No, there's really no downside. After pondering for a long time, Fang said: "If you insist on saying it, it's too boring, it's not good for women, and you don't like vocal music, so what's the fun at all?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It is said that he is a merciful priest who sweeps the floor and does not harm the lives of ants." Chen Ke was puzzled: "Why did you come here and scare you like this?" ”

"My thirteenth brother, I really don't have to say it." Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly: "Originally, our relationship was also very good, but since two years ago, our relationship has gradually changed. ”

"From Zhang Shu's secret play?"

"You even know that?" Zhao Zongji nodded in surprise and said: "Some of us have played since we were children, and we often have parties. But from that time on, as long as he was present, the first must be his. ”

"This is natural, no one dares to offend, a person who may become a prince." Chen Ke said lightly: "What is his reaction?" ”

"He always tried his best to refuse, and even said, 'If this is the case, I can only be absent in the future' to threaten others with a fair judgment. Zhao Zongji said softly: "The first time, they all believed the truth, so they pushed me to be the first, and he was second. ”

"I was sitting opposite him at the time", Zhao Zongji sighed in a low voice: "When I saw his face, it darkened, although it only returned to normal in an instant, but I was absolutely not mistaken." ”

"When I got home, I told my father about it, and he muttered for a long time, 'You need to turn away from him in the future.'" Zhao Zongji's face turned bitter and said: "I still remember that Ouyang Gong once said to me, 'If there is really that day, be careful of Zhao Zongshi. After the two phases were confirmed, he decided to play crazy to let him know that I would not pose a threat to him. He sighed deeply and said, "I really regret that I was ignorant when I was a child, and I had to press him everywhere." ”

"Actually, you don't need to be so afraid of him." Chen Ke sneered: "Do you think his life is better? It's not the official's own family, who stipulates that he is the only one?! ”

"You really dare to think about it...... Zhao Zongji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He is two years older than me, and he has such a good reputation, he has long been the best candidate in the hearts of all ministers, and no one can fight for it." ”

"Hehe...... Chen Ke sneered and said, "I think you are a fan of the authorities." ”

"How?"

"The decision is in the hands of the officials, and those public opinions have a bird's use?"

"Officials must always listen to each other."

"But this one is an exception!" Chen Ke said categorically: "If I were an official family and had the lessons of the Taizu family in front of me, I would not give up my hope of giving birth to an heir until the last moment!" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Zongji nodded.

"So the efforts of those officials will not be effective." Chen Ke said calmly: "On the contrary, it will backfire and make the official family wary of Zhao Zongshi!" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Zongji's eyes lit up.

"The days are still long, maybe there are some variables, if you pretend to be crazy and stupid now, when will it be a head? Even if you want to pretend to be crazy, you have to wait for Zhao Zongshi to be made the crown prince! Chen Ke looked at him and said in a deep voice: "If you pretend now, you can't stop laughing." I'm not asking you to fight, let's not pretend to be wrong in our hearts, just do our best naturally. Who knows what the future holds? But if you give up on your own, others won't give you a chance! ”

"Yes." Zhao Zongji nodded heavily and grinned: "Actually, I've already pretended to be enough!" ”

"Hahaha, is this right......" Chen Ke smiled and said: "Life in the world, living happily is the most important thing." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Zongji looked at Chen Ke with emotion and said, "For you to say this, my heart is much brighter." yes, when is it a head to pretend to be crazy and stupid? Sooner or later, you'll really become crazy! ”

"That's the reason." Chen Ke nodded with a smile.

"In that case, I'm going to go back and rewrite my homework." Zhao Zongji pinched his chin and said.

"What homework?"

"A few days ago, we were listening to a lecture in the sect, and the official suddenly arrived." Zhao Zongji said: "The official family often comes to Zongxue, and sometimes they will give a lesson in person. When I was recovering from a serious illness that day, I didn't talk much. It's just that before leaving, leave us with a homework, let us express our opinions on the management of the Yellow River, and talk about which plan is better. ”

"'The Liuta River plan has been under construction for more than a year, how could the official family suddenly ask such a question?'" Chen Ke's expression moved.

"Maybe it's going to test how much river engineering knowledge we have." Zhao Zongji is not sure.

"How are you going to write it?"

"Originally, I wanted to follow the crowd and copy a few sentences from Li Zhongchang's recital, so that I could cope with the past." Zhao Zongji sighed and said, "But when I open my eyes and say nonsense, I feel panicked." ”

"And now?"

"Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, I'll tell the truth" Now it's Zhao Zongji's turn to be categorical: "I'll tell the truth, I think Li Zhongchang's plan is not ordinary unreliable!" ”
