Choosing an heir among the royal family members was an extremely helpless but necessary thing to do. Once the news came out, all the Zhao family members of Taizong's lineage became excited.
Since the Taizong Dynasty, the clan has multiplied into a huge ethnic group. It is not difficult to select a prince as the heir. There can even be a competition or something to select the best.
Everyone was excited when Zhao Zhen released the news, because they had missed this opportunity to change their life and destiny when they were reincarnated, but this opportunity is completely within their reach.
There is no need to think about the descendants of the Taizu lineage. Nowadays, the descendants of the Taizu lineage are everywhere and it is impossible to return the throne to the Taizu lineage. The most worrying thing is that there will be a liquidation, and then there will be a sea of blood and a mountain of bones.
Excellent disciples of Taizu who were as strong as Zhao Weixian were either sent to the ends of the earth to guard the country, or were left in poverty. Even if they were there, there would be a large group of Taizong dynasty's lackeys watching over them, ready to impeach them at any time.
There are countless children in Taizong's lineage, and there are also talented people in large numbers. There are eight uncles of Zhao Zhen. These eight people are also capable of giving birth and carry forward Taizong's lineage. Taizu's eighth son, Zhao Yuanyan, has a reputation for being virtuous, and both of them, Zhao Weixian, He was the benevolent and righteous prince of the past, Lord Xinling.
There is also the lineage of Zhao Yuanzuo, Taizong's favorite in the past, who almost became the heir to the throne. Although Zhao Yuanzuo had a very rough life, he spoke up for Zhao Tingmei, burned the inner palace and was demoted to a commoner by Taizong, but Zhao Yuanzuo was a wise man and looked like Taizong. , after they moved into Zhao Yunsheng's room, Zhao Yunsheng's productivity was unparalleled. He had fourteen sons alone. .
If you can't pull out a general from the pile of dwarves, is it still a problem for so many people to find someone with a bright head and a little bit more intelligence? After Zhao Zhen's order, all the clans were excited. They were eager to climb to that unreachable throne. Taizong had shed a lot of blood for this position, and its attraction was evident.
The most envious person in the capital was Zhao Yuning's son, Zhao Zong'e. Zhao Yuning was the successor of Taizong's fourth son, Zhao Yuanfen, and was of the same generation as Zhao Zhen. In terms of seniority, Zhao Zong'e was the most suitable. Furthermore, Zhao Yunning had an extremely close relationship with Queen Mother Liu. This time Liang Chuan was arrested and imprisoned, it was Zhao Yunning who instigated the trouble, and the driving force behind it was Zhao Zonge.
Zhao Zong'e himself is also extremely powerful. Although he has a bad reputation, he has a lot of money. When it comes to public relations, money is better than anything else. The reason why the Queen Mother favors Zhao Yuning so much is because this old boy uses money to make Queen Mother Liu happy every day. On the other hand, being an emperor is not just about money!
In addition to them, Zhao Yuanyan's son Boping Hou Zhao Yunxi and Boping County Prince Zhao Yunchu are also extremely popular. Zhao Yunchu even reached the position of Pingzhangshi under Tongzhongshu, that is, the position of Zhengxiang, which is something that even Ding Wei cannot sit in. s position.
For a time, border emergencies and spring palace examinations became irrelevant matters. The civil and military ministers in the court all craned their necks to watch, because if whoever becomes the emperor stands in line in advance, the future will be easier. , On the contrary, if you are in the wrong team, haha, then you can retire and return home.
Immortals from all walks of life became fully active, inviting people to send gifts everywhere, and the clique activities that Taizu had strictly prohibited from the beginning increased again. Today you come to my house, and tomorrow we will go to his house together. We are openly discussing in private who should be the best prince. It's appropriate, completely treating Zhao Zhen as a dead person.
All the princes, princes, and princes, as long as there is a family with a lineage, go to the parallel system to operate it. The opportunity is fair. Who knows whether it will fall on him?
Zhao Yunning went to the inner palace every day to inquire about information and bribe concubines, nobles, and civil and military officials. He only hoped that they would speak well of his son Zhao Zong in front of the officials and make a better impression. point. For the sake of greater interests, Zhao Zonge did not care about petty quarrels with Sun Houpu for the tempting throne of supreme power. When he really sat on the throne, the whole world would be his, let alone a restaurant?
The power of money is huge. Dong Xing and Qian Daowei walked around the Forbidden City every day to help Liang Chuan deliver news. Secondly, they also inquired about the current situation in the court. The official family intended to make a descendant of the He family a prince.
This is too important to Liang Chuan. If there is a deviation and Zhao Zongshi is not established, then all his plans will be in vain, and his life may not be saved. Although he is now in prison, who is willing to sit back and wait for death? If there is a chance of survival, he will fight to the end!
There is no use just waiting, we must take action.
Liang Chuan took the initiative to call Qian Daowei and said, "Brother Qian." After a few days of getting to know each other, the two of them no longer acted like adults and villains, and began to call each other brothers and sisters.
"Hey, brother, what's going on?"
"To be honest with you, brother, everyone in Bianjing City is now racking their brains and fighting for the throne. No one will take my matter to heart for a while. There is something urgent in my family. I beg you, brother, to invite my brother Sun Houpu to the prison. Come in."
When Qian Daowei heard this happened again, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible..."
Liang Chuan's eyes were burning, he stretched out two fingers and shook them, and added leisurely: "Twenty thousand guan. Brother Dong is not here tonight. Only you and I know about this matter. The 20,000 guan only goes into my pocket, not with me." Brother Dong will share."
"Twenty thousand..."
Qian Daowei's eyes were straight, his mouth was so dry that he couldn't speak for a while.
"Forget it, I know that I don't have much time left. I have to eat one meal and miss one meal, and I have not arranged anything for my family's funeral. I miss my wife and son in my hometown so much these days. I want to say a few words of condolences. , and it’s not convenient for Brother Qian to pass on, since Brother Qian regards money as dirt, then just pretend that I’m too passionate and never said this.” Liang Chuan sighed, turned around and walked back.
Qian Daowei was so upright and honest, he was completely shocked by Liang Chuan's domineering style. He had difficulty breathing for a moment and couldn't speak. Don’t want money? That's a disease!
That's not two ounces of money, but 20,000 guan. How many years does it take for the leader of the imperial court to receive a salary of 20,000 guan?
"Brother..."
Qian Daowei's hand was like a poisonous snake, scurrying through the fence of the prison cell and grabbing Liang Chuan. He was afraid that the God of Wealth would slip through his fingers, so he said with a shy smile: "This is just this one time and it won't happen next time!"
Liang Chuan also laughed quickly and said, "I would like to thank you on behalf of my wife."
Everything in the world has a price, including life.
That night, Dong Xing was still drunk in the Forbidden City, and Qian Daowei secretly stole the prison secret of the Ministry of Punishment to meet with Sun Houpu.
Sun Houpu prepared several niches of exquisite wine and food, disguised himself as a boy delivering food in the restaurant, nodded and bowed and followed the Ministry of Punishment.
The moment finally came, and he went straight to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. If anything went wrong, it would be a serious matter of losing his head. However, Sun Houpu did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately prepared his clothes and went into the sky prison to see Liang Chuan.
The Ministry of Punishment is located outside the imperial city, on the left side of Yudao Street, and is a peripheral imperial office.
At night, except for the officials and subordinates on duty, there were not many people left. The two of them traveled unimpeded all the way to the outside of the Ministry of Justice. After the Ministry of Punishments returned to the guard of the officers and soldiers, Qian Daowei distributed the food and wine to everyone, took the officers and soldiers guarding the prison to the side to reminisce about the past, nodded to Sun Houpu and said: "You, go, bring my food to the inner room, I will accompany my brother first A few drinks."
Sun Houpu's waist is as bowed as a shrimp, and he has learned the style of a clerk. Have you never eaten pork and seen pigs running?
"yes."
Everything fell into place, and Sun Hopu naturally and skillfully sneaked into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. When Liang Chuan saw Sun Hopu dressed as a servant, the big stone in his heart finally fell, and the big thing was half done.
Liang Chuan had no love for his children, so Jingtiao told Sun Houpu all his plans. The errand fee alone was worth 20,000 yuan, but it was not that he felt sorry for the small amount of money. Liang Chuan approached him and the first words he spoke made him sweat and make his legs weak: "The fate of the Song Dynasty rests on your shoulders.
Why the fuck is the fate of the Song Dynasty resting on my shoulders? I am just a businessman, when did I become so important?
Sun Houpu was confused after hearing this. He knew what Liang Chuan wanted him to do, but at this juncture he was not doing his own thing, and was doing Zhao Yunrang's housework. Could it be that Liang Chuan was anxious and confused?
But there was one sentence that made Sun Houpu's heart beat wildly!
A white hat!
If the prince wears a white hat, he is not the emperor!
What does Liang Chuan want to do? He has already crossed the river as a mud bodhisattva, and he still wants to do such a big thing to kill the nine tribes?
Seeing Liang Chuan's serious face but not joking, he had no choice but to keep every word in his mind!
Before Qian Daowei had finished drinking a jar of wine outside, Sun Houpu came out of the prison and replied: "Sir, the food and wine have been laid out."
Qian Daowei was very satisfied that the matter was over so quickly without dragging his feet and causing him trouble. He quickly led the person out and went back to the prison to drink.
The blood in Sun Houpu's chest surged, and the boiling blood made him unable to control himself. He ran all the way to Shuanglong Lane without even breathing.
Dong-dong-dong, a rapid knock on the door opened the door of Zhao Yunrang's house. At this time, everyone was already asleep. Zhao Yunrang's house usually had no guests. Who would knock on the door in the middle of the night?
"Master Zhao!"
"Brother Park, why are you here?"
"My lord, this is not the place to talk. Third brother asked me to come. There is something important...!"
Zhao Yunrang was stunned, thinking that Liang Chuan was sent to the Ministry of Punishment Prison because of Ding Wei's demotion case. How could he still keep talking? What are you saying in the middle of the night that you can't say tomorrow?
"Sit inside."
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Sun Houpu knelt down in front of Zhao Yunrang. Zhao Yunrang couldn't bear the gift, so he hurriedly helped Sun Houpu up and said, "Brother Pu, what are you doing?"
Liang Chuan told Sun Houpu to kneel down and speak humbly when he saw Zhao Yunrang, and then replied to Liang Chuan's original words.
Sun Houpu composed himself, coughed dryly, and evened out his breathing.
Zhao Yunrang looked a little nervous, wondering what words could make him feel so threatened.
"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it. Do you want me to find someone to help and rescue Saburo? Alas... this matter..."
Zhao Yunrang was not without trouble when he heard that Liang Chuan had an accident and was imprisoned. He also wanted to do his best to help this benefactor who had helped him countless times. It was a pity that the down-and-out royal family was not as good as chickens. He had too much time to take care of himself, and others would not betray him. face!
"Third brother said: Mr. Zhao, please stay behind closed doors to thank guests these days, do not have contact with outsiders, and do not talk about government affairs. Soon a yellow hat will fall on the head of young Prince Zhao!"
Sun Houpu had to use a lot of courage to say this. After saying this, his breathing was messed up. This was a treasonous and disrespectful comment!
Little Prince Zhao? Yellow hat? Zhao Yun was so accustomed to being kind that he didn't react for a while. He thought about it for a while, Wang Jiabai hat? The moment he figured it out, Tian Ling Gai was struck by lightning, his scalp almost turned over, and his body turned to stone: "You said... what did you say?"
"Third brother asked the adults to thank guests behind closed doors and not discuss current affairs..."
"Stop, stop, stop...
Liang Chuan was so bold that he dared to discuss the matter of establishing a heir apparent. .
Even a member of his clan would not dare to think about such a thing. Who is Liang Chuan? He is just a common man with a flat head, or a common man who is in jail. How dare he think about things that are beyond his reach?
Zhao Yun let him close his eyes in pain and shock, everything made sense. .
It turned out that Liang Chuan had been planning this big game for a long time, and he and his son had already become pawns on their chessboard!
As a down-and-out grandson who rarely even comes to beg for food, no one looks at him seriously on weekdays. Ever since he met Liang Chuan, he only sent money, gifts, and greetings to little Prince Zhao every three hours and five days. No, his own son Zhao Zongshi also traveled all the way from Qingyuan to invite great Confucians to teach him. He had seen what Mr. Meng taught him, and it was an imperial art. .
He can even figure out who is registered in the East Palace. Who is this Liang Chuan? . .
