Zhao Zongshi went to school later than ordinary children because, as a royal family member, he did not want to go to a private school like the children of ordinary people. Zhao Yunrang could not pay for a good gentleman to teach at home, so his studies were repeatedly delayed.
After Meng Liangchen arrived, Zhao Zongshi was completely impressed by his extraordinary demeanor.
The first sentence of Meng Liangchen's lecture: "Sir, when I was in there!" It refers to Meng Liangchen's experience of being framed and imprisoned. As a descendant of the clan, Zhao Zongshi had never been in such a situation.
The child's curiosity was suddenly aroused. The biggest fear for children is that they are not interested in reading. Meng Liangchen completed the first step, and then impressed Zhao Zongshi with his profound knowledge.
Zhao Zongshi would study at dawn and dusk every day, say hello in the morning and evening, and serve Meng Liangchen just like Zhao Yunrang. He was more polite and respectful than he was to Zhao Yunrang, and he obeyed what he said and taught.
This child is really working hard. He thinks that one day he will take the scientific examination well and the descendants of the clan can become officials. Then his father will be able to take off the hat of a useless royal family.
However, when he tilted his head and asked Zhao Yunrang about the imperial skills and political rules taught to him by Meng Liangchen, Zhao Yunrang also asked Mr. Meng doubtfully. The child was just for scientific examination, so it seemed that there was no need to learn these. .
Meng Liangchen said firmly: "Everyone has to learn." He didn't even bother to explain why. Liang Chuan asked him to teach the emperor's art, but he didn't even understand it himself. He also learned it from the books of Confucius and Mencius. If you want to know, it's better to go directly Just ask Liang Chuan.
As for what Liang Chuan said, that's right. Just follow the instructions. Who is this person? . He could predict when it would rain, and there was nothing else he didn't know.
Meng Liangchen was walking around Bianjing. Ever since he heard that the official family wanted to choose heirs from the clan, he had laughed. Why did he teach Zhao Zongshi the emperor's mental skills? Everything is prepared. There are really gods in the world who can only know after five hundred years. .
Everyone was anxious, and the people in the city were moving around anxiously for the throne. Only Zhao Yun made Meng Liangchen Sun Houpu calm and wait quietly. Liang Chuan's mouth was like God's will, and everything he said was fulfilled. .
After Sun Houpu came with him from Shuanglong Lane, he realized how terrible what he had done was when he thought about it carefully. If Zhao Zongshi had not sat on the throne, and if today's news was leaked, would he really be finished, because it was treason? Great rebellion.
What was done was done, and there was no turning back. He continued to follow Liang Chuan's instructions to find Yelu Chongguang back. He had other plans.
Yelu Zhongguang and his party, except for the family members of those clerks, went south to Qingyuan to reunite with Yi Niang as planned. In order to reassure Liang Chuan, the members of the Intelligence Team pretended to follow them back to Qingyuan, while Liang Chuan was sent to the Ministry of Punishment Prison. They immediately returned to Zhangjiazhuang, intending to use force to resolve the matter if the court was unfavorable to Liang Chuan.
However, Sun Houpu showed him every handwritten letter from Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan was safe in prison and his life was not in danger. Then they calmed down and waited quietly.
Sun Houpu went straight from Shuanglong Lane to Zhangjiazhuang and spent the whole day on the road. When he entered Zhuangzi, he immediately called Yelv Chongguang.
Running through the snowy night, Yelu Chongguang knew something was going on at the first glance.
"Is there any new news from the boss?"
"Third brother said, you will definitely not leave. Now I have something to tell you, so call the brothers immediately. This matter is a big deal."
Yelv Chongguang was a little excited. What's the big deal?
"Yes...are you going to rob the prison?"
Sun Houpu calmed down Yelu Zhongguang's restless heart and ordered: "Third brother asked you to start tomorrow to collect the candidates who have high voices and high hopes from the Zhao family clan, make a list, and then go to various places to target these people." Big restaurants and big restaurants told me about bookstalls and yelled at me, telling me how talented these people were, how strong their relationships were, who in the DPRK supported us and everything would be stable, and so on. When the words reach the ears of the officials, they will think that they have decided to make him the prince!"
When Yelv Chongguang heard this, what was his plan?
However, their intelligence team is top-notch in gathering information, and making up a rumor is as easy as eating.
"This matter is not difficult to handle, it's just my boss's fault..."
"Third brother's exact words, as long as you do things beautifully, the safer he will be!"
Although Yelu Chongguang had done a lot of things with Liang Chuan, he was increasingly confused about Liang Chuan's plans and arrangements. What was the connection between the two things? That is a family matter of the official family. Is it possible that after choosing a godson for the official family, the official family can still go to prison to thank his employer?
"knew."
"Wait a minute. I also go to the homes of various court ministers at night. It would be best if I could collect who the ministers had contact with in the past few days, their movements and words, and write them down verbatim."
"good!"
Yelu Zhongguang finally smelled the faint smell of blood in it. His body was trembling and his blood was burning. Finally, his mother was going to do something big!
The intelligence team was useless in the matter of Liang Chuan being imprisoned. Every team member blamed themselves. Even a powerless person like Sun Houpu could get the information, but they were unable to do anything. This time they got Liang Chuan. Yelu Zhongguang attached great importance to this operation and must do it beautifully and cleanly.
The group of people worked hard for two or three days, and the whole Bianjing city became lively. I don't know where the news came from, saying how outstanding the next few children of Zhao Yuanyan were. Zhao Zong'e, the son of King Xin'an, was the best candidate. Anyway, there were various There are all the opinions, and they sound like they are true. Zhao Zhen's ideas coincide with theirs.
Not only the intelligence team, but also Sun Houpu became more active. He had relaxed the consumer prices in the Forbidden City in the past few days, and there were suddenly more customers. There were many customers, so Sun Houpu hired a storyteller. He was sharp-tongued and straight-talking. He kept praising the merits of various princes' children in the Forbidden City, making comments and comments, and vaguely alluding to the throne. The issue of the heir was more interesting to the common people than the drama on the third floor.
Zhao Zonge has become the most exposed person here. The storyteller seems to have received Zhao Zonge's money. The sharp-tongued repeater keeps talking about how outstanding Zhao Zonge is and what a prosperous age it will be if he manages the world. if.
These words reached Zhao Zong'e's ears. Who doesn't want to hear good words? He was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Is my voice really so high among the people now? It seems that I am really destined to be the people's will." "
The energy of ambition and superstition is quite terrifying. Zhang Liang, a great hero of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, dared to recruit dead soldiers to prepare for rebellion because he mistook the skin disease for dragon scales. He, Zhao Zonge, now wants money and identity. , even the public support him so much, can he agree if he misses this opportunity?
He personally led Zhao Yunning and two people to the Forbidden City to listen to the people's opinions. When he heard that this was really the case, the father and son became even more arrogant.
Inside the palace.
After Zhao Zhen released the news about the selection of the prince, Zhao Yunning immediately went to Empress Dowager Liu to invite Sanmei and Si. Empress Dowager Liu wished that the prince in the future would still be her own, and that she could still control the imperial power as firmly as she does today. , so she was also very lively in her heart, and the two coincided with each other. Empress Dowager Liu personally went to Zhao Zhen Palace to intercede for Zhao Zonge.
Zhao Zhen is very unhappy. Now everyone in the court treats him as if he is dead and is busy building gangs in the mountains. It seems that the new prince is the backer. Zhao Zhen really can't give birth to a son.
Empress Dowager Liu stayed in Zhao Zhen Palace for half a night, saying all kinds of good things, but she almost praised Zhao Zonge to the heavens. She also said that she was old and no longer wanted to participate in the government affairs. If someone like Zhao Zonge took over, If you do this, the government will be more stable in the future.
Isn't this a clear stab at Zhao Zhen's heart? If he is there, the relationship will be stable. If he is not there, the world will be in chaos. He must be the prince?
What a wolfish ambition! What Zhao Zhen was most afraid of was the people of Empress Dowager Liu's party. Even if he thought on his heels, he would not be able to appoint Zhao Zong'e as his heir. Otherwise, he would have lived a few more years. He was afraid that if Zhao Zong'e was appointed, he would have to die!
Zhao Zhen had already made a plan in his mind. He could not choose the royal family with tall trees, people with the background of the Queen Mother, and people who formed cliques with ministers. Otherwise, he would never have peace for a day. Choosing a prince would be equivalent to choosing an enemy. .
He had already asked Eunuch Wei to go to Zongzheng Temple to get the family lineage album. In the past few days, he had combed through the royal relatives like plowing the ground. This was no child's play. A wrong choice would be inevitable, but his hair was almost worried. White.
The group of people who went to the Court of Admonition recently received another anonymous report. It contained treacherous remarks about how ministers from all walks of life formed cliques and cliques to discuss who should be crowned prince. They even included the time they arrived at whose house and the time they left. They all knew very well that at this juncture, this was the favorite piece of dirty information for the people at Kaden Yushitai. Once they got it right, the whole court was like a pot exploding. They were criticizing each other and trying to undermine each other. Even more violent than the previous one, any clan member who came into contact with him immediately jumped out to separate the relationship, which invisibly created a rift between the clan clan and the ministers!
Everything seemed to be under Liang Chuan's arrangement, slowly moving forward step by step according to the track of history.
Zhao Zhen saw the current situation clearly. If a fly doesn't bite a perfect egg, these people will not be used if they have anything to do with rumors.
Zongzheng Temple received the benefits from each of the major clans and compiled a detailed report, describing the daily behavior of each clan, as well as life events. They were all written down in the best possible way. Those who gave large amounts of money were placed first, and those who did not send money were left out in one stroke. The biography is just an abbreviation, and there is only a name in it, and a piece of thin paper is attached at the end.
A large pile of materials was delivered to Zhao Zhen. Anyone whom Zhao Zhen recognized would jump over it. From the thick pile of materials, he directly took out the last one. There were only three names on it, and there were no extra words.
Zhao Yunrang, the third son of Shang King Zhao Yuanfen, and Zhao Zongshi, the son of Zhao Yunrang!
