"Thoughts?" Hearing Zhao Yan ask like this, Zhao Xu's pale little face also showed a contemplative expression, and after a long while, he said, "Other feelings are nothing, it's just that seeing the dignified monarch of a country fall to such a point, I also have some emotion in my heart." ”

"Success and defeat are the same in ancient and modern times, if it was our Great Song Dynasty that was destroyed at the beginning, I am afraid that the fate of our royal princes will be even more tragic than Li Liangzuo, after all, the Western Xia people will not raise prisoners of war like us." Zhao Yan smiled lightly again, Zhao Xu could feel a little bit of the sadness of the king of the dead country from Li Liangzuo, and he had already achieved his goal.

"Third uncle, I heard that you escorted Li Liangzuo back at the beginning?" Zhao Xu suddenly thought of something at this time, and suddenly said to Zhao Yan with a smile, and his little face also recovered a little blood, after all, the child's heart changes quickly, and the nausea just now was quickly left behind by him.

"Yes, in order to escort Li Liangzuo back, I and Chong Ge led 5,000 men and horses, and we encountered several dangerous situations, and lost hundreds of brothers to bring him safely to the capital. Zhao Yan recalled the situation when he escorted Li Liangzuo into Beijing, and he was also a little emotional for a while, these things felt as if they were yesterday, but who would have thought that it was an old thing more than ten years ago.

"Hehe, I heard that Li Liangzuo's wife, Empress Liang, also died on the road?" Zhao Xu said with a sly smile on his face at this time, he had heard a rumor about his third uncle, and he had never had a chance to ask, but today he could take this opportunity to ask for clarification.

"That's right, he did die on the road, and he was killed by Li Liangzuo himself. Now that I think about it, Li Liangzuo deserves to die for this matter alone! When Zhao Yan said the end, he couldn't help but look at the kitchen of Li Liangzuo's corpse, he attached the most importance to the love between husband and wife, no matter how hateful the dye queen was, but she was Li Liangzuo's wife, and it was estimated that she would never expect to die in the hands of her husband.

"Hey, hey. No, how did I hear that it was the third uncle that you fell in love with the dyeing queen, but you didn't expect the other party to swear to die? Zhao Xu laughed in a low voice at this time, and the smile on his little face was a little dirty no matter how he looked at it.

"Nonsense, who doesn't know the relationship between me and your aunts, how could I fall in love with that vicious Queen Liang!" Zhao Yan heard this, but he angrily reprimanded loudly, this rumor that Zhao Xu said was more than ten years ago, when he had just escorted Li Liangzuo to the capital, and he was still sulking at that time. After Cao Ying's persuasion, she didn't care, but she didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and this rumor has not disappeared.

"Of course I believe that Third Uncle you wouldn't do such a thing, but it's all spread like this outside, I can't believe it!" Zhao Xu smiled again at this time, he has been arranged by Zhao Yan to run east and west today, and now it is finally his third uncle's turn to be embarrassed.

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and I don't bother to explain. However, Li Liangzuo is dead, and this matter is big or small. After they find out the cause of Li Liangzuo's death, let them report this matter to the Queen Mother and they will deal with it! Zhao Yan didn't want to argue about the cause of Empress Liang's death, so he changed the topic at the moment.

Hearing that Li Liangzuo's death was to be handed over to the Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu's little face immediately collapsed and said: "It's handed over to the Empress Dowager again, when can I really do something?" ”

saw Zhao Xu's face full of dissatisfaction. Zhao Yan couldn't help but be a little funny, and immediately stepped forward and patted his little brain and said: "You are only ten years old this year, even if you hand over the government to you to take care of, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it well, so for you." The most important thing is to learn all aspects of knowledge, and when you are a few years older, even if you don't want to, I will ask the Queen Mother to arrange some government affairs for you to deal with. ”

When he said this, Zhao Yan's expression was suddenly stunned, and after a while, he suddenly sighed and said: "When your father was still the prince, your fourth uncle and I were carefree, and we didn't have any serious business all day long, but your father was arranged by your grandfather to do a lot of government affairs, running around every day, even my younger brother often didn't see him for more than a month, but he was enjoying it, and now I can't figure out if those government affairs are really so attractive?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan mention his father, Zhao Xu's little face also showed a somewhat gloomy look, but then he showed a little hesitation on his face, as if he had something to say, but he was embarrassed to say it.

Zhao Yan also noticed the expression on Zhao Xu's face at this time, and immediately spoke: "What's the matter, if you have anything to say, just say it, do you have anything to hide from the third uncle?" ”

Seeing Zhao Yan take the initiative to ask, Zhao Xu finally mustered up his courage, and then he sighed for a moment before he spoke: "Third uncle, why did you leave the capital when your father and emperor had just started to change the law, if you could stay and assist your father at that time, maybe the change would not have been what it was later?" ”

Hearing the young Zhao Xu actually ask this question, Zhao Yan's heart sank, although Zhao Xu did not say it explicitly, but in fact, he already blamed Zhao Yan, after all, although he was close to Zhao Yan, but his feelings for his father were also deeper, so he has always been worried about the failure of Zhao Xu's change. In addition, what made Zhao Yan even more angry was that at Zhao Xu's age, I am afraid that he would not be able to think of this, that is to say, his words are likely to be provoked by someone behind his back.

Thinking that someone was doing ghosts behind him, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, but thought about it for a moment before he said to Zhao Xu: "Xu'er, the matter of changing the law was very complicated at the beginning, and it was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words, but the reason why I left the capital in the first place, in addition to the disagreement with your father because of the change of law, there is another reason, that is, I want to develop the Nanyang area, and your father is also very supportive of me, and now you look at the Nanyang area, A large amount of taxes can be provided to the imperial court every year, and it is precisely with the support of these taxes that my Great Song Dynasty can recover in the shortest possible time after the failure of the reform. ”

The young Zhao Xu did have some knots about Zhao Yan's departure from the capital, but now he heard Zhao Yan bluntly say that he and his father did have differences due to the change of law, but because of this disagreement, Nanyang was developed, which made him feel that Zhao Yan's brightness was upright, and the knot in his heart was also eliminated at once, after all, although the third uncle and his father had disagreements, it did not affect the relationship between their brothers, when his father was seriously ill, the first thing that came to mind was to call his third uncle back to Beijing to preside over the political situation. And it was the support of the third uncle that allowed him to ascend to the throne.

Thinking of the above, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Zhao Yan. But at this moment, I saw Wang Chao suddenly walking over in a hurry, and then stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, the cause of Li Liangzuo's death has been ascertained!" ”

"Oh? What is the cause of death? Zhao Yan also hurriedly asked when he heard this, he wanted to know whether Li Liangzuo's death was an accident, or if there was some conspiracy in it?

"According to the autopsy just now, Li Liangzuo should have died of starvation!" Wang Dynasty replied immediately.

"What? Freezing and starving, and still in the kitchen? When Zhao Yan heard this, he couldn't help but wonder if he had heard it wrong, if he hadn't understood the dynasty's character, I'm afraid he would have wondered if he was fooling himself?

"Your Highness, my subordinates know that this conclusion may be a little unbelievable, but this is indeed the truth, in addition to discovering the cause of Li Liangzuo's death, I also found that Li Liangzuo had a disease before his death." Wang Dynasty spoke again, at first he was also skeptical of the results of the test, but only after listening to the explanation of the work did he understand what was going on.

"Oh? What disease? He also asked in a hurry.

"Stroke!" Wang Dynasty raised his head and spit out two words, and then explained, "According to the test, Li Liangzuo is likely to suddenly fall ill when he was preparing to cook in the kitchen, and as a result, he was paralyzed and lying on the ground, but this disease did not kill Li Liangzuo, and then he must have woken up, but because the whole body could not move after the onset of the disease, there was only him and the old servant in the entire mansion, and you also saw the appearance of the old servant just now, according to my estimate, it is likely that the old servant became stupid due to illness first, which made Li Liangzuo have to cook and eat by himself, Unexpectedly, he also fell ill suddenly, and as a result, Li Liangzuo had no way to call for help, and finally lay on the ground and starved to death. ”

After listening to the dynasty's inference, Zhao Yan also showed a contemplative expression, although there were many coincidences in the whole thing, but it also completely explained the cause of Li Liangzuo's death, and he also believed in the ability of the dynasty, so the cause of Li Liangzuo's death was likely to be as he deduced, it was just an accident, and the person who took care of Li Liangzuo only arranged an old servant for him, and he usually didn't often come in to see Li Liangzuo's life and death, if there were a few more servants, or someone in the middle came in to take a look, maybe this kind of tragedy would not have happened.

But if you think about it, you can't blame the people who take care of Li Liangzuo for being too careless, after all, he has been under house arrest for more than ten years, and it would be good to send someone to take care of his life, and there has been no accident for more than ten years, and it is impossible for the people who take care of Li Liangzuo to maintain their original vigilance for more than ten years, not to mention that Li Liangzuo was originally a prisoner, and he was clean when he died, so as not to have any thoughts in the hearts of those remnants of Western Xia.

At that moment, Zhao Yan asked the dynasty to go to the army in charge of guarding and the people of the Imperial City Division to discuss and report the matter, and then he took Zhao Xu to leave the Xirong Mansion, but as soon as Li Liangzuo died, it is estimated that this Xirong Mansion will also become history.

The next morning, Zhao Yan sent Zhao Xu away, watching Zhao Xu's carriage slowly disappear into the corner of the street, Zhao Yan's face slowly became gloomy, yesterday Zhao Xu asked him why he left the capital when he changed the law, so that Zhao Yan suddenly became alert to someone behind the ghost, for such a person, Zhao Yan must find him out as soon as possible, otherwise he will feel unstable when he sleeps.
