I studied in modern times

Chapter 492 I love uncle

When Queen Mother Xiang took Zhao Xu to Qingshou Palace.

The entire Qingshou Palace is covered with colorful ropes.

These ropes are the same as Baisuo, except that there is an extra sachet hanging on them.

The sachet contains aromatherapy materials such as realgar and mugwort.

The incense burners in Qingshou Palace were all lit up.

Wormwood, sandalwood, calamus...

The entire Qingshou Palace is filled with fragrance.

The royal family, relatives, ministers, and ladies-in-law of the prime minister's family all dressed in neat imperial attire and greeted him at the palace gate.

"I, my concubines, are here to greet you, the Queen Mother, and Your Majesty the Emperor. I wish you and your Majesty a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

"I am in good health."

"I'm in good health." Zhao Xu said softly and nodded slightly.

The ladies of destiny all looked at him with passionate eyes as if they were looking at treasures.

The eleven-year-old emperor gradually began to grow up.

He has also begun to become more heroic!

Of course, the most important thing is power!

This Majesty has begun to take power!

Power is like a magic potion that sinks people's souls and makes them unable to break free.

Zhao Xu ignored the fiery eyes of these fateful ladies.

He has long been used to it.

It was like this in a previous life, and it is still like this in modern times.

As a political creature, Zhao Xu is the kind of person who even uses his own personal life as a bargaining chip.

This is the sequelae left to him by the modern life of studying abroad.

As an entrepreneur, every resource must be utilized to the fullest!

If you don’t make a profit, you will lose.

If you don’t win, you lose.

Otherwise, the business will fail.

The consequence of failure is - the destruction of the country and the family!

Therefore, Zhao Xu knew that he had to succeed!

Therefore, Zhao Xu just looked at the concubines and then followed the Empress Dowager into the Qingshou Palace.

His younger brothers and sisters, led by the late emperor's concubines, were already waiting for him in the palace.

"Your Majesty, my family, wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

The late emperor's concubines saluted one after another.

"Mother and Your Majesty, wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival." Zhao Xu's sisters and brothers obediently knelt down and bowed their heads under the guidance of the concubines, performing the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, expressing their submission.

This is an internal procedure within the royal family.

In public, all princes must kowtow to the emperor.

To show his surrender, he also expressed that he had absolutely no intention of coveting the throne.

This is an important procedure within the royal family.

Therefore, even the infant Fourteenth Prince Zhao Ji was held by his mother, Concubine Lin Xian, and saluted Zhao Xu here.

After these people, there are other clan members.

The king of Xu, Zhao Hao, and the king of Jing, Zhao Kun, also came to Zhao Xu with their children to say hello.

"I respectfully wish His Majesty the Emperor a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

Zhao Hao's energy seemed a little sluggish.

It seems that the emperor's uncle did not live a satisfactory life during his days under house arrest.

Think about it too.

When the late emperor was here, although the Qinxian House in Xianyifang had been built as early as the eighth year of Xining.

But this dear second uncle tried every means to stay in the palace.

Even if Zhao Xu is born, even if Zhao Xu grows up day by day.

He also stayed in the palace.

It wasn't until the death of the late emperor that he moved out of the confinement in despair with his tail between his legs under the supervision of all parties.

"My second uncle is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

"Fortunately, Zhang Maoze is dead. I heard that Chen Yan was also killed with a stick."

"He is in the palace, and there is no one left."

Thinking like this, Zhao Xu stepped forward with a smile and helped the two imperial uncles up.

Then, talk to them intimately.

"Second uncle and fourth uncle, we haven't seen each other for a while..." Zhao Xu took the hands of the two princes and said affectionately: "I really miss my two uncles."

Zhao Hao listened, with a smile on his face, and was about to speak, to plead with his innocent-looking nephew so that he could get a reason to enter the palace at any time.

Next to him, King Jing Zhao Yan seemed to be frightened and immediately lowered his head: "Your Majesty is so kind, I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude!"

"However, according to the laws of our ancestors, I am a member of the clan. When I enter the palace to pay respects, I have my own rules and regulations. How can I dare to go beyond them?!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said to Zhao Tan: "Fourth uncle's words are serious. The principles of law are nothing more than human feelings."

With that said, Zhao Xu looked at the prince behind Zhao Yan, who was also Zhao Xu's cousin and the eldest son of King Jing, Zhao Xiaoyi.

Zhao Xiaoyi was born in the second year of Yuanfeng and is two years younger than Zhao Xu.

When Zhao Yan found out that Zhao Xu was looking at his son, he immediately introduced him to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, this is the dog son Xiaoyi. Your Majesty loves him and uses him as the governor of Qingzhou."

Zhao Xiaoyi also hurriedly paid his respects: "Qingzhou Governor Xiaoyi, I wish your majesty a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

"Qingzhou governor?" Zhao Xu asked.

Zhao Yan immediately said: "I am fortunate that Your Majesty did not give up and paid my respects in June last year."

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "My brother should be the official one!"

Zhao Yan was immediately overjoyed, took Zhao Xiaoyi with him, thanked En on the spot and said, "Your Majesty, I will die a hundred times to repay you."

Although it is said that the second generation of the clan is generally promoted very quickly.

But it was actually a bit fast to jump from Yaojun to a full-time job in one fell swoop.

This kind of lightning promotion can only be achieved by the emperor's grace.

As for the clan, except for the first generation of princes, they can lie down flat.

Starting from their sons, they had to embark on the grinding and promotion system specially created for them by Taizu and Taizong.

This grinding and surveying system comprehensively evaluates a clan from all aspects of moral, intellectual, and physical aspects.

The main focus is complexity!

Generally speaking, in this grinding system, clans of the third and fourth generations can only be promoted to Yaojun in their lifetime. Most people can only live as a sanitation officer until they die.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's casual words were nothing less than a blessing from heaven to Zhao Yan.

It is enough to save his eldest son from struggling for twenty years in the future.

It is even enough to save his eldest grandson's generation from struggling for ten years.

Therefore, Zhao Yan's joy was naturally beyond words.

But Zhao Hao next to him became serious.

Of course Zhao Xu can see it.

He just liked to look at his second uncle's gloomy, manic, yet desperate and tragic face.

Every time I see him, he is always happy.

There is nothing that can make Zhao Xu understand his thoughts better than stepping on Zhao Hao's face.

This was the case in my last life, and it is the same now.

Therefore, Zhao Xu was really reluctant to let his second uncle die!

So, he smiled and said to Zhao Hao: "Second uncle, where is my brother Xiaoqian? Why didn't you enter the palace?"

Zhao Xiaoqian is the eldest son of Zhao Hao, and the son of the former ruling daughter who is now sent to Yaohua Palace to practice.

He is a few years older than Zhao Xu. In his previous life, this cousin was Zhao Xu's good helper.

Every time Zhao Xu wanted to punish Zhao Hao, Zhao Xiaoqian would help.

A loving father and a filial son really make people happy.

The conflict between father and son has existed for a long time.

Just kidding - my father and my own mother had a problem.

Moreover, I witnessed my biological father insulting my biological mother many times.

Furthermore, he was abused since he was a child because of his hatred for the family and the crow.

Zhao Xiaoqian wanted to kill Zhao Hao quickly!

Therefore, when Zhao Xu mentioned Zhao Xiaoqian, Zhao Hao's face twitched. He could only lower his head and replied: "I would like to inform your majesty that the dog is ill today and cannot enter the palace to pay his respects to your majesty. It is a death penalty! A death penalty!"

"That's it!" Zhao Xu nodded, beckoned to Feng Jing behind him, and said: "Feng Jing, convey my order to the Imperial Medicine Courtyard, let Liang Zongzheng, select some imperial medicines to send to Qinxian's house, and more Order the Imperial Medical Bureau to send people to Qinxian’s house to diagnose and treat Brother Xiaoqian!!”

"promise!"

After giving the instructions, Zhao Xu said softly to Zhao Hao: "Uncle, don't worry. If my brother Xiaoyi has something, my brother Xiaoqian will also have it."

Zhao Yan, who knew the situation at his second brother's home, could hardly hold it in anymore.

No one in the Qinxian House knew that King Xu’s favorite was never his eldest son Zhao Xiaoqian, but his youngest son Zhao Xiaoti.

It's just that the latter's biological mother was from a humble background and was said to be just a maid and concubine.

Therefore, even if Princess Xu is now forced to move to Yaohua Palace to become a monk, King Xu cannot correct that concubine.

Naturally, it is almost impossible for Zhao Xiaoti to surpass Zhao Xiaoqian.

His official title throughout his life was lower than that of Zhao Xiaoqian.

This was another thorn in King Xu's heart.

Zhao Hao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He raised his head and looked at the figure of the Queen Mother who was already sitting in the curtain.

His mother no longer loved Zhao Zhongzhen after his son came to the throne.

He was placed under house arrest in the Qinxian's house and was not allowed to enter or exit without purpose.

The remaining troops in the Forbidden Army stared at him day and night.

And the cronies around him were almost all killed with sticks.

Zhang Maoze and his son, who could speak for him in the palace, were missing even more.

This made him feel desolate.

The only thing that made him feel better was that his wife, the bitch who disgusted him, was finally sent to Yaohua Palace.

However, the eldest son, Zhao Xiaoqian, is still stuck in his throat.

Make him feel uncomfortable all over.

Especially when I heard the little emperor shouting "Brother Xiaoqian" and "Brother Xiaoqian" with great intimacy, and promised to give Zhao Xiaoqian a full official position.

Zhao Hao's mood became a little unbearable.

How could Zhao Xiaoqian, that evil villain, be appointed as the official?

It should be his younger son Zhao Xiaoti!

However, Zhao Hao did not dare to have an attack.

Not only because this is in the Qingshou Palace, Da Zongzheng and King Sipu are both there now.

It was also because he saw his imperial sister-in-law.

The Queen Mother stood beside the little emperor with a faint smile.

That bitch!

If it weren't for her... I might have succeeded last year.

That's her! That's her!

Zhao Hao roared in his heart.

Zhang Maoze disappeared, Chen Yan was killed with a stick...

All of this, in Zhao Hao's heart, could only be the means of his imperial sister-in-law.

In addition, when Zhao Zhongzhen was seriously ill last year, the imperial sister-in-law summoned Shi Deyi to the palace with a decree, which caused Zhang Maoze to lose control of the Imperial City Department and the Detective Department, making his plan ultimately come to nothing.

This made Zhao Hao extremely angry and frightened towards the Queen Mother.

That was the nightmare in his heart.

Zhao Hao even felt that he was under house arrest now because of the Queen Mother's tactics.

Therefore, no matter how miserable Zhao Hao was in his heart, he could only express his obedience obediently: "Your Majesty loves me deeply, and I would like to express my gratitude to you."

As he spoke, he carefully observed the Queen Mother Xiang's expression.

He found his sister-in-law, still smiling.

This made him more and more frightened.

"Second uncle, you're welcome. We are all one family!" Zhao Xu smiled, like a nephew to a dear uncle.

But in his heart, he was already reminiscing about the time in his previous life when he cooperated with Zhao Xiaoqian, humiliated and attacked Zhao Hao time and time again.

It’s so nostalgic!
