Chapter 6: Silent Night Thoughts

Zhao Xin's heart trembled when he heard the words of the prince, and he felt an inexplicable pain, "Second master, the relatives mentioned to you must be famous ladies, and they will not be as unbearable as you said, just say that the little lady Zhu of the deputy envoy Zhu who met on the way that day is not gentle and Shuda, and can be good at poetry and painting, I think she is very compatible with the prince!" Zhao Xin said with an unnatural smile.

"Hehe, I am destined to be displaced all my life, the road is bumpy, that kind of flower before the moon, my life will not belong to me, how can the kind of beautiful girl who can't pick her shoulder and can't lift her hand can bear it, looking for this kind of vase will only increase your troubles, harm others and mislead yourself, and delay the good years of others!" Zhao Ta smiled at Zhao Xin and said.

"Second master, how can it be, you are a prince, a dignified prince, you can be literate and martial, and you can make money, how can you live that kind of life, you have drunk too much wine and haven't woken up yet!" Zhao Xin said disbelievingly.

"Prince, prince, this identity is now my biggest constraint, so I have no freedom, I don't want to be this prince, I just want to be a peaceful and prosperous Shengdou people, plant a few acres of land, read, write, spend a peaceful life, or be a man who crisscrosses the world, plays rivers and lakes, and is happy to revenge, it is also a fast life, better than being a parasite who is drunk and dreams of death!" Zhao Ta said with a sigh.

"Second master, now the world is also peaceful, you see that there are many shops in this Tokyo city, people come and go, isn't it a peaceful and prosperous world?" Zhao Xin tilted his head and said puzzled.

"Hmph, now the Great Song Dynasty seems to be prosperous and rich, the lights are bright, and all the countries are coming to court, but in fact, it is just a dry bone wearing a gorgeous coat, as long as a gust of wind can break his bones!" Zhao Tan snorted coldly and said, "Look at Zhu Fei of the Manchu Dynasty, Wen's unscrupulous exclusion of dissidents, thinking about being promoted and making a fortune, does anyone think about the people in the world?" Wu's change of law to hold money, may have long forgotten that the Great Song Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, eyeing the enemy! Out of this Tokyo city, how many families are ruined, wives and wives are separated, I am afraid that the chaos is coming, the high-rise buildings will fall, we are only afraid that these days are not as good as a common people! Zhao said indignantly.

"Oh! Second master, I understand why you are working so hard, you want to change all this, so that the people can live a good life like the people in our house, then you can become the prince and become the emperor in the future. Zhao Xin blinked and said seriously.

"Hehe, maybe this is just a beautiful wish, now the forces of the DPRK and China are entangled, the ministers control the government, the army has not been in battle for a long time, and the soldiers are tired of war, even if they become the prince, what can they do, I am afraid it will be difficult to change by myself!" Zhao Ta looked innocently and said with a wry smile.

"Second master, whether you are the emperor or a commoner, I will follow you, even if there is an abyss in front of me, I will not jump with you!" Zhao Xin said.

"Hey, hey!"

"Second master, what are you laughing at, I'm serious, don't you believe it?" Zhao Xin punched the prince and said with a pout.

"I believe in you, I believe in you!" Zhao Tan grabbed Zhao Xin's hand, pulled him to lean on his shoulder and said, Zhao Xin didn't want to break free this time, and snuggled meekly beside the prince, as if he felt the sadness of the prince and saw the fragile side of the prince, but the breath on his body made his heart feel like a deer......

Zhao Ta tilted his head to look at Zhao Xin who was leaning on his arms, he was already asleep, and he snored slightly. Zhao Tan gently moved him to his bed and pulled a quilt over him to cover him, but Zhao Xin got into his arms and hugged his arm.

"This girl is really..."Zhao Ta moved in with a wry smile, touched her hair, looked at her beautiful face, when they entered the mansion, although Zhao Xin hid it in every way, but how could she hide her middle-aged heart, she didn't say it, and she never broke it, just let her follow her, joke with her, watch her withdraw her pettiness, spoil her, get used to her, peek at her and practice martial arts with Xiao Mei and his wife...... He sometimes can't figure out what kind of feelings he has for Zhao Xin, like father and daughter, brother and sister, friend, or... It's just not like a master and a servant.

"I don't know when she will tell herself her true identity!" Zhao Ta pulled the quilt for Zhao Xin and asked her to lie down again, many people in the house complained about their connivance with Zhao Xin, and some even felt that they had a psychological problem, always messing with a delicate little guy, and let him go in and out of the inner courtyard. He just didn't hear these words, and he never explained them to others, everyone will have their own little secrets in their hearts, maybe Zhao Xin has the same taboo as himself that he can't confess to humanity! ,

At this time, the candle burst into a candle flower, and the "pop" went out, and Zhao Ta didn't bother to get up, lying quietly, wanting to sleep back, but the scene of yesterday's banquet with the brothers always appeared in his mind, and this was the first time he officially met with them.

Zhao Ta's own eldest brother, handsome, shy, weak, like a stunted child, giving people a feeling of weakness, he gave him a glass pen holder, but he was at a loss, I don't know how to be good, an embarrassed look, when answering is also submissive, lack of robustness, no assertiveness, and close to the waiter teleprompter, if there is no appearance of his own, this cowardly young man is now the prince of a country.

Zhao Ta thought about it and felt that he was pitiful, he lost his mother at the age of eight, and he was not liked by his father, and he also resented his father for snubbing his mother, which led to her early death and lack of normal maternal love, which made him depressed and depressed.

Most of the ministers who saw the wind and steered did not support him, the eldest son, to enter the East Palace, and were picky about him in everything, trying their best to catch him, so that Zhao Ta acted cautiously everywhere, hiding in the house every day and carefully listening to lectures and reading, and in his free time he was to look at fish and enjoy flowers, giving people an unfathomable and profound feeling.

It is his cautious and cautious style, walking on thin ice, and being afraid of wolves before doing things and tigers before doing things, that has developed a cowardly personality over time, and over the years, he has only been left with the ability to live frugally with his mother. If he is just an ordinary person, it will be okay, but he may become the prince of a country, this harsh growth environment, severe personnel pattern, and depressed mentality have made the two experience too much frustration, and have a strong sense of subversion and a sense of getting ahead in their hearts, and this radical mentality has prompted his subjective consciousness to go to two poles: either excellent or extremely bad. Either go all out and do your best, or break the argument and escape from reality.

Once he succeeds to the throne, he will definitely be like what happened in history, "more than diligence and thrift but not enough wisdom", surprisingly low ability, indecisive in the face of problems, regardless of the comparison of strength, he has to challenge the strong without his own strength, and the edict will be changed every day, and the revenge on those who have attacked him will be merciless. It is said that character determines fate, and the character of the emperor determines the fate of the country.

Besides, now another person who can launch a powerful impact on the East Palace is his younger brother Zhao Jun. His first impression of Zhao Ta was that this child was very handsome, handsome, elegant, and sang poems against the courtiers at the banquet, sang and made peace with the emperor, and was omnipotent, with knowledge throughout the ancient and modern times, outstanding talent, profound knowledge, like a crane among the princes, standing proudly among the brothers, Zhao Ta also had to accept this. The emperor's love for Zhao Tu, even Zhao Ta felt jealous, he received the most praise in the banquet, and the most rewards he received.

Zhao Ta observed that the emperor can like him, the main reason is that his temperament and hobbies are similar to him, Zhao Yan has loved painting since he was a child, and his small brushes of flowers and birds are similar to his father, almost to the point of being fake, and this kid is especially good at patting on the back, with rare pictures, immediately dedicated to his father. The emperor also rewarded him with a large number of calligraphy and painting works, and he accumulated a lot of works, plus his father's reward, the palace accumulated a lot, and he could open a calligraphy and painting exhibition.

It is precisely because of his similar personality to the emperor that he won the love of the traitors in the court, and they vied to make him the prince. But it is precisely like this, which shows that he can't be a good emperor, and after succeeding to the throne, he is afraid that he will still lose his huge family business.

Among the brothers, the one who can catch Zhao Ta's attention again is Lao Jiu Zhao Gou, the founder of the Southern Song Dynasty in history. This child can come to the world is actually a legend, his mother was born as a palace maid of the Wei family, and she can only be regarded as mediocre in the dazzling palace, and she has no outstanding talent. If you want to say that she is outstanding or in bed, it is not that her kung fu is good, but when there is a problem, she will urinate and ripple, which can only make the emperor stay away. But Wei has a good sister, Qiao Guifei, under her instigation, the emperor and Wei had a night of love, but unexpectedly gave birth to a dragon breed and gave birth to Zhao Gou.

Zhao estimates that the harem is full of beauties, and there are dozens of princes and princesses, so although Wei gave birth to the prince Zhao Gou, he did not get the emperor's favor because of this. Among the concubines in the palace, Zhao Gou's mother's status is very low, and his mother's fall from grace and humble status have also accompanied his entire childhood, which may have left a deep shadow in his young heart, at least he should be emotionally distant from his father and brothers, and it is no wonder that he has no queen after becoming the emperor, and would rather pass the throne to the Taizu family than leave it to his own nephews.

Zhao Gou's mother and son have a very low status in the palace, and they have no influence in the royal family, but Zhao Ta found that although the brother who was five years younger than him this year was indifferent, he was not willing to fall, but was working hard like himself, trying to stand out from the brothers, he was very strong at a young age, Zhao Ta had taken the opportunity to touch his body, iron-cast hard, it can be seen that he has been tempering his body. It is recorded in the history books that he can pull a strong bow with one stone and five buckets, and his arms can each lift more than 100 pounds of things, which may be true. Looking at his calligraphy, it is much stronger than his own two brushes, and it can be seen that in order to attract the attention of the artist's father, he has really worked hard.

As a young master lamb-like character in the mouth of the common people, growing up in the palace, being taught by women, it is not easy to be able to practice super martial arts, exquisite calligraphy and painting, it can be said that it is both civil and military, by no means like the commentary or wild history said, except for cowardice, escape, nothing else, if history will not change, this will become his capital to get ahead.
