Empress Dowager Gao's face was suddenly extremely embarrassed, with her knowledge, how could she not know what was going on.

Even thought of more, staring at Yongwang Zhao Hao with displeasure in his eyes at the moment.

Yongwang Zhao Hao reacted quickly, directly stepped forward and slapped Zhao Xiaojian on the face, and roared angrily: "Rebel, you are so bold, in order to compete with King Duan, you actually made this move, and even your father was almost hidden." ”

Zhao Xiaojian suddenly had five finger prints on his face, but he knelt on the ground in pain, and asked for guilt again and again: "The imperial grandmother forgives the sin, the grandson has not been favored by the imperial grandmother for a long time, and when he saw that Zhao Ji was favored because of his injury, he was fascinated for a while, and he made this decision, and asked the imperial grandmother to punish him." ”

Although Zhao Xiaojian and Zhao Hao cooperated tacitly, in the audience, except for the young princes, who was a fool, and couldn't see that the two were acting.

Lu Dafang couldn't help sighing, King Yong's plan was perfect, Zhao Xiaojian's disguise was also very realistic, coupled with the particularity of bone injuries in the human body, if it was an ordinary imperial doctor, he would definitely fall for it.

It's a pity that he miscalculated Fan Zheng's evil nature, and only remembered to calculate Fan Zheng's orthopedic medical skills, but forgot that what Fan Zheng is best at is heart disease and understands people's psychology best.

The king of Jinkang County is pampered, and he has no personnel, where can he fight Fan Zheng, who has succeeded from a doctor to a forensic doctor, and a simple bunch of disgusting earthworms will expose him in his true form.

"Humph!"

Empress Dowager Gao wanted to be angry, but both parties were her own blood relatives, and she did take care of Zhao Ji and others more, so she owed Zhao Xiaojian a debt in her heart, and finally could only walk away angrily.

"Rebel, embarrassed, don't get out of here!" Zhao Hao angrily reprimanded Zhao Xiaojian and secretly signaled Zhao Xiaojian to hurry out of the palace.

Zhao Xiaojian hurriedly left the palace, and the foot injury that was originally rushing to the sky and the earth did not affect walking at all.

And King Jian Zhao seemed to be aggrieved and said: "Brother Huang, can we still play Keju in the future!" ”

"It's time to play and continue to play, if something happens, the royal brother will bear it, just don't play with outsiders in the future!" Zhao Xu's face remained unchanged, and he pointed at Sang and scolded Huaidao.

"Brother Huang is wise!"

The princes cheered one after another.

Zhao Hao's face stiffened, and he forcibly squeezed out a smile and said: "The official's words are also false, Xiao'er is confused for a while, you don't have to take it to heart, after all, we can break the relatives who have bones and tendons." ”

The princes snorted coldly and ignored Zhao Hao at all.

Zhao Hao was bored with himself, so he could only leave in a hurry, the anger of the Empress Dowager had not dissipated, and he still had to please the Queen Mother.

"The family is unfortunate, let Lu Aiqing laugh! If you miss the class today, you might as well continue tomorrow! Zhao Xu arched his hand towards Lu Dafang on the side.

Lu Dafang's face was embarrassed, after all, he didn't see through Zhao Xiaojian's conspiracy just now, and he helped him fall into the well, but fortunately, Zhao Xu saved a trace of face.

Rao is like this, Lu Dafang still stubbornly said: "Family and everything is prosperous, the king of Jinkang County is no longer the cousin of the official family, and the official family should not be upset." ”

Zhao Xu's face was uncertain, but he forcibly endured his displeasure and said: "What Lu Aiqing said is very true, I have been taught!" ”

Lu Dafang sighed in his heart, he knew that Zhao Xu didn't listen, but he was wrong just now, so he didn't persuade him anymore and left.

After Lu Dafang left, Zhao Xu returned to Yanfu Palace, and then he broke out, and said angrily: "Can't Lu Dafang see that Zhao Xiaojian has the guidance of the imperial uncle behind him?" A teenager in order to compete for favor, as for pretending to be a bone injury? If there is no evil prescription for Imperial Physician Fan, not only will it be forbidden to bow in the palace in the future, Imperial Physician Fan may only be able to go to the official position and lose his post, and my great cause of changing the law can only be aborted. ”

"The official is cautious!" Fan Zheng reminded.

Zhao Xu suddenly felt a pang in his heart, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Yi Zhen sees that he Lu Dafang can't see it, but he doesn't want to see it, he doesn't want to let me change the law, and I don't want to let Imperial Doctor Fan assist me!" ”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Lu Dafang is like a common stubborn elder on the market, he likes to preach, he can't get used to everything about young people, and he abides by what he thinks is a gentleman, but the official family knows that a gentleman can deceive him." ”

"Bullying?" Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zhengdao puzzled.

"Weichen suggested that the official family should learn from history to know the rise and fall, and today I suggest that the official family should learn from people, but I think the relationship between the official family and His Royal Highness King Yong is the most similar to which one in the history books." Fan Zheng asked.

"Taking people as a mirror can tell the gains and losses!" Zhao Xu's heart moved, and he tried to recall the history books, but in the end he was confused.

Fan Zheng picked up the "Zizhi Tongjian" on the side and turned to the record of Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong.

"Li Tai, King of Wei, and Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of Tang!" Zhao Xu was suddenly shocked.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "His Royal Highness King Yongwang today is on the road of Li Tai, King of Wei, and it is rumored that King Yongwang is especially fond of learning, works and flies, is good at shooting, has good books, and seeks rare books. ”

Zhao Xu's face was embarrassed, and he looked at the record of Li Tai in the Zizhi Tongjian in his hand: talented, intelligent, good and lovely, working in Caoli, collecting thousands of books, and compiling the "Chronicles of the Territory".

The paths of Zhao Hao and Li Tai, the king of Wei, cannot be said to be exactly the same, they can be said to be the same.

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Since His Royal Highness King Yong is following the path of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and this road is feasible. ”

Zhao Xu's heart moved, and he flipped through the Zizhi Tongjian in his hand, and finally stopped at the record of Tang Taizong's decision to establish a prince.

"The crown prince Chengqian was convicted, and the king of Wei Tai entered the service, and the above Xu Li was made the prince, and Cen Wenwen and Liu Xun also persuaded him; The eldest grandson Wuji asked the king of the Jin Dynasty to rule, and the courtier said: "Yesterday, the green bird threw himself into my arms: 'The minister has to be His Majesty's son today, and it is the day of rebirth. The minister has a son, and on the day of the minister's death, he should be killed by His Majesty and passed on to the king. 'Whoever does not love his Son, I have pity on him when he sees him so. ”

Zhao Xu's heart was cold, Li Tai had already been made Prince Xu Li at that time, and he was only one step away from success.

Fan Zhengdao: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, although the road of the King of Wei cannot be prevented, but it has a fatal flaw, and the official family can continue to look at it to know why Li Tai, the king of Wei, failed to ascend the throne as the emperor in the end."

Zhao Xu settled down and continued to watch.

Counselor Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty's words are a big mistake. May you ponder and make no mistake! Long live Your Majesty, the King of Wei is willing to kill his beloved son and pass on the throne to the king! His Majesty has established Chengqian as the crown prince and restored favor to the King of Wei, and the courtesy rank is too much Chengqian, so as to become today's disaster. The past is not far off, and it is enough to learn from it. Your Majesty is now the king of Wei, and he is willing to take measures to put the king of Jin first, so that he can have a safe ear. The sobs said, "I can't!" ”

"Kill your son! It's just a dream! Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and said.

He is the emperor, naturally knows the emperor's thoughts, not to mention far away, take Taizu as an example, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao mutinied, yellow robe, Zhao Kuangyin once swore to the sky to treat Emperor Zhou Gong well, but Emperor Zhou Gong died at the age of twenty, and several of his sons either died young, or their whereabouts are unknown, and they have long been extinct.

is still Renzong benevolence and righteousness, and he really can't stand it anymore, so he let the side branch of the Chai family inherit his position, demote him to Chongyi Gong, and save a little face for the Great Song Dynasty

History is always an amazing coincidence, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin also repeated the same mistakes, after the candlelight and axe, three of the four sons died early, and Zhao Dezhao, the king of Yanyi, committed suicide after being reprimanded by Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Xu's face was resolute, he couldn't fail, once he lost the throne, not only would his own life be unsafe, but even the imperial brothers who were bowing together would probably be difficult to preserve.

"Since Lu Xianggong adheres to the way of a gentleman, abides by etiquette, and persuades His Majesty's family to prosper in everything, why don't the officials govern their own people in the way of others, and let Lu Xianggong persuade His Royal Highness King Yong's family and everything to prosper." Fan Zheng sneered.

When Zhao Xu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought about it.

On the second day, Lu Dafang came to teach Zhao Xu as scheduled! Zhao Xu was sitting in danger, listening attentively to the class, and the monarch and the ministers were harmonious.

At the end of the class, Zhao Xu said respectfully: "What Lu Aiqing said is subtle and righteous, I have benefited a lot, I recently read Sima Xianggong's "Zizhi Tongjian", and I was puzzled in my heart, and I asked Lu Aiqing to teach me. ”

Sima Guang is the spiritual leader of the conservatives, and his "Zizhi Tongjian" is regarded as a treasure by the conservatives. ”

Zhao Xu looked puzzled and said: "In "Zizhi Tongjian", Tang Taizong is the first emperor of the ages, but why not Li Tai, the king of Wei, who is very fond of learning, Gongfeibai, good at shooting, good at books, and seeking good books, but also set up Li Zhi, the king of Jin, so that he suffered from the disaster of Wu Zhou. ”

When Lu Dafang heard this, he said without thinking: "This question is not difficult, there are records in the history of the Tang Dynasty in all dynasties, Taili, Chengqian, and King Jin do not exist; Jin Wang Li, the Thai Communist Party can be unharmed. ……………………。 ”

Lu Dafang was suddenly shocked, and looked at Zhao Xu in front of him in horror.

And Zhao Xu calmly looked at Lu Dafang, Lu Dafang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then recalled Zhao Xu's description of Li Tai, where is the description of Li Tai by Zizhi Tongjian, but the people's praise for Zhao Hao, the king of Yong.

"Lord Lu is my father's minister, is he really willing to watch me and all the emperor's brothers disappear?" Zhao Xu said faintly.

Lu Dafang was suddenly struck by lightning, stood for a long time, and solemnly saluted Zhao Xu: "Wechen will never live up to the trust of the emperor, the official family is the saint of today, and Wechen swears allegiance to death." ”

Zhao Xu helped Lu Dafang up and solemnly promised: "Lu Xianggong will not live up to me, and I will never live up to Lu Xianggong." ”

Lu Dafang saluted solemnly again, and left with a solemn face.

The next day, Zuo Xiang Lu Dafang personally wrote a letter, bluntly saying that Zhao Hao, the king of Yong, had lived in Bianjing for a long time, which was not in line with etiquette, and asked the king of Yong to go to serve as the envoy of the Huainan Festival as soon as possible.

For a moment, the court was shocked.

The Empress Dowager refused to allow King Yong's filial piety.

Lu Dafang repeatedly asked to play, and the Queen Mother was displeased and walked away.

Seeing this, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but think about it, they had all heard about the things in the palace, they didn't know whether the Empress Dowager was old or really had the heart of King Liyong, but no matter which one was enough to prove that the Empress Dowager was indeed a little old and confused.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Xu looked at this scene coldly, and when the empress dowager left, she continued to preside over the court, and every move showed the appearance of a clear monarch.

"The imperial grandmother licks the calf deeply!"

In Yanfu Palace, Zhao Xu and Fan Zheng sat opposite each other, and said with solemn faces.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing the other party can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, the official family already knows the other, but can you ever be a confidant?" ”

"Confidant?" Zhao Xu frowned.

"The reason why His Royal Highness King Yong has the heart to compete for the throne is that the Great Song Dynasty has always had the tradition of brother to brother, and secondly, because the official family is too lucky to be on the throne!" Fan Zhengdao.

"Lucky? I am destined to be the Son of Heaven, how can I say that I am lucky? Zhao Xu said proudly.

Fan Zheng said bluntly: "If Weichen was born twenty years early and became a forensic doctor in advance, does the official family think that the sons of the first emperor will die early?" ”

Zhao Xu's face changed, he was only ranked sixth among the sons, if there was a doctor who saved any of the first five elder brothers, it would not be his turn to take the throne.

"If Weichen was born ten years early, renewed his life for the first emperor, and gave birth to a son to the queen mother, does the official family think that he can still ascend the throne?" Fan Zheng said again.

Zhao Xu's face changed greatly, the empress of the first emperor was the Empress Dowager Xiang, and his mother Zhu was only the lowest-level imperial attendant, if it weren't for the death of the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, and there was no second son, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take the throne.

"The official family is like the young Kangxi who recovered from smallpox, but he is just the lucky one who was lucky enough to ascend the throne!" Fan Zheng said unequivocally.

Zhao Xu's face changed, and finally gritted his teeth and admitted: "Yes, I am indeed lucky to ascend the throne, the more this is the case, the more I have to work hard, like that young Kangxi, to achieve a great cause, and fulfill my father's unfulfilled last wish." ”

"The ambition of the official family, Weichen admires, but His Majesty has done it to know himself and the enemy, have you ever known that in the battle for the throne, the Queen Mother Xiang will always stand on the side of the official family." Fan Zhengzheng color road.

"Empress Dowager Xiang?" Zhao Xu's heart moved, he has always been disciplined by the Empress Dowager, and the relationship between the Empress Dowager Xiang and his mother Concubine Zhu is not good, he is only polite in place, and he has no friendship.

"Yes, Empress Dowager Xiang is His Majesty's mother-in-law, as long as His Majesty reigns for one day, Empress Dowager Xiang's status will never change, and if King Yong ascends the throne, then Princess Yong will enter the harem, where will Empress Dowager Xiang be placed?" Fan Zheng analyzed.

Zhao Xu frowned and said: "But the Empress Dowager Xiang and the mother concubine are not in harmony, and the Empress Dowager Xiang is a stereotyped person, not only let the Longyou Palace to the Empress Dowager to live, but she also lived in the Cide Palace in the side hall, and when she was accepted, she also had the intention of having a daughter, but the Empress Dowager Xiang made no female candidates in her mother's family. ”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Empress Dowager Xiang does not seek personal interests for her mother's family, but she is selfless, but she can not want it, but Your Majesty can't allow it!" ”

In the future, in order to repay the grace of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Ji gave the Empress Dowager several times the brother Xiang Zongliang and Xiang Zonghui, all of whom were the same three divisions as the Kaifu Yi, and the king of the county, and did not see the Empress Dowager refuse.

"And the Empress Dowager Xiang has lost her children and is lonely, and she is the mother of the official family and the princes, but she often goes to fulfill her filial piety?" Fan Zheng asked again.

Zhao Xu suddenly felt like an enlightenment, and suddenly realized.

On the same day, Zhao Xu's court, once again turned out the excerpt of the favor of the family many years ago, and directly agreed, and counted the virtuous and virtuous virtues of the Queen Mother, posthumously crowned her deceased daughter Yanxi as the princess of Yanguo, and gave the name Zhao Shen to the Queen Mother's sister-in-law who only survived for one day.

At the same time, Zhao Xu drew inferences from one another, and all the princes in the harem who died before they were treated equally, and the princes who were given to the Taishi, Shang Shuling, and the king, and the surviving princes were also rewarded.

Of course, Zhao Xu did not forget the maiden nephew of the Empress Dowager Gao, and once again promoted Gao Gonghua and Gao Gong's disciplinary officer to a higher level, but the Empress Dowager did not allow it, but Zhao Xu insisted again and again, so he agreed.

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Zhao Xu's purpose in winning over the harem was to fight back against Zhao Hao, the king of Yong, who was pressing forward step by step, but they were happy to see all this come to fruition.
