In the majestic vertical arch hall of the Great Song Palace, Zhao Xu sat behind the dragon case with his chin in his hand, looking at the blue sky outside the window in a daze, he had just finished handling today's government affairs, and he had nothing else to do, so he seemed a little bored at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, and after a while, he saw Zhao Xu suddenly sigh and say: "I don't know where the big brother and his ship are, has he already found the American continent?" ”

"Fifth brother, don't worry about the eldest brother, when he left from Europe, the third uncle must have helped him make all preparations, but this world is too big, if you want to bypass most of the world from Europe to our Great Song, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back without a year and a half." As soon as Zhao Xu's words fell, he heard a somewhat feminine voice from the side of the hall.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Xu also turned his head at the moment, only to see a low table placed on his right hand, and a chessboard was placed on the low table, and a thin man was sitting behind the chessboard, playing chess by himself, and it was what he said just now.

"Third brother, didn't you say that you came to the palace to accompany me, why have you been playing chess by yourself from the beginning, and you are not tired of staring at a chessboard every day?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this thin young man, this young man was his third brother Zhao Jun, speaking of which, when Zhao Yan chose the prince, Zhao Jun was also one of them, but Zhao Jun's health has always been bad, and in addition to being obsessed with playing chess, he has no other characteristics, and his performance in all aspects is also very mediocre, so it did not attract Zhao Yan's attention.

"You're embarrassed to say that I originally wanted to go into the palace to accompany you, but you're good, I've been reviewing and reviewing since I came in, and I can only play chess with myself when I'm bored, if you have time now. Come and play a game with me, even if I didn't come to the palace in vain this time. Zhao Jun smiled at Zhao Xu at this time holding the chess pieces and knocking on the chessboard, he has been a chess addict since he was a child, and he has always kept his hands on chess, even if he came to visit Zhao Xu in the palace, he was also looking for Zhao Xu to accompany him to play chess.

"I'm not going to be down, I haven't beaten you once since I was eight years old. Over the years, you have concentrated on studying chess, and I have heard that even a few national players are not your opponents. Zhao Xu heard that he was playing chess, but he refused without thinking about it.

Originally, Zhao Xu was very lonely after becoming the emperor, especially after Zhao Jia and his third uncle Zhao Yan went to Europe one after another, he was even more lonely, and even Zhao Xin, Zhao Tong and other brothers also left Beijing, usually he couldn't even find anyone to talk to, fortunately, his third brother Zhao Jun has been staying in the capital to recuperate because he has been in poor health since he was a child. So during this time, when he was free, he went to Zhao Jun's mansion to take a turn, and under the exchange of courtesies, Zhao Jun naturally came to visit his younger brother in the palace, so the two brothers were very close during this time.

"If you don't play, forget it, anyway, your chess skills really can't be on the table, and I have to find a way to let you play chess with you, so that your loss is not so ugly." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard Zhao Xu's refusal, and he didn't regard Zhao Xu as an emperor at all. Instead, he still regarded him as his younger brother as before, but this also made Zhao Xu very happy. Because only by getting rid of his identity as an emperor can he communicate normally with others, but unfortunately most people can't see through this, which is also the main reason why he can't even find a person to talk to as an emperor, fortunately, his third brother Zhao Jun is not such a person, which he only discovered recently.

The brothers made a few jokes. Then Zhao Xu proposed to go out for a walk, and Zhao Jun just finished the game in his hand, so he dropped the chess pieces and walked out of the vertical arch hall with Zhao Xu. Today's weather is good, the sky is so blue that you can't see a single cloud. What's even more rare is that there is no wind, which is very rare in the spring of Tokyo City, so Zhao Xu also felt very interested, and came to the back garden with Zhao Jun at the moment, and the various flowers in the garden were blooming at this time, which made people feel more relaxed.

"It's such a beautiful imperial garden, I didn't think it was in the palace back then, but after leaving the palace, I also built a garden in my own house, but I always felt worse, and now I return to the palace, and it is really much more beautiful than the imperial garden." At this time, I saw Zhao Jun looking at the imperial garden in front of him and sighed.

"Hehe, no matter how beautiful the garden is, there will be a day when you are tired of looking at it, it's like a beauty, no matter what kind of beauty you look at for a long time, it will feel very ordinary, and no matter how beautiful the garden is, but in my eyes, it still can't be compared with the beauty of the outside world." Zhao Xu heard Zhao Jun's words but said with a helpless smile, these complaints used to be only said in front of Zhao Yan and Zhao Jia, but now there is another Zhao Jun.

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, I saw that Zhao Jun smiled, but he didn't speak immediately, but said slowly after a while: "Fifth brother, everyone has their own destiny, when the third uncle chose you as the heir to the throne, then you are destined to lose something, and my eldest brother and I have lost the qualification to inherit the throne, but they have been freed, and now we are all adults, and our respective fates have been fixed, so there is no need to worry about what we are destined to not get!" ”

Zhao Jun's words can be described as very bold, if others listen to it, they may suspect that he has ulterior motives, but what Zhao Xu wants to hear most is that others tell the truth to himself, and he has always attached great importance to family affection, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Zhao Jun's words, but felt that what Zhao Jun said was his own heart.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "Third brother, what you said is right, the third uncle and the eldest brother have also persuaded them in the past, but they said it more tactfully, I was too young at the time, so I didn't realize this, but when I heard your words today, I completely understood." ”

"Hehe, fifth brother, you don't have to be polite to me, among our brothers, you are the smartest, so even if I don't say these truths, you will definitely figure it out." When Zhao Jun said this, he paused for a moment and then smiled, "In addition, I heard that you are going to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, and the eldest brother has already gone to Mount Tai to help you fight the front station, and when the seal is successful this time, the fifth brother, you will definitely be able to go down in history like Emperor Qin and Han Wu!" ”

Hearing Zhao Jun mention the matter of Feng Chan, Zhao Xu also showed an excited expression, because this was the only opportunity for him to go out, and he also attached great importance to it, the eldest brother in Zhao Jun's mouth was not Zhao Jia, but their eldest brother Zhao Yan, and calculated the time, it seemed that the day of Feng Chan was coming soon.
