Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 69

The Holy Majesty said casually: "If Miss Qiao hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that today is your birthday, Concubine Wei Xian."

As soon as the words fell, the smiles of the mother and son suddenly solidified on their faces.

The laughter and laughter that filled the hall just now turned into a wisp of clouds and smoke, drifting away with the cool breeze in the rain.

Concubine Wei Xian and Zhao Gou looked at each other, their hearts sank and they were speechless.

He just lowered his head to eat with a lonely face.

Song Huizong was not unaware that his mother and son were in a low mood at the moment, but he had no time to care.

All his thoughts were on the novel manuscript that Earl Ying had just given him, "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sword".

He took a sip of wine and placed one hand on the novel manuscript "Sky Sword and Dragon Sword".

He turned to look at Zhao Gou and asked, "Your Majesty, have you been practicing calligraphy diligently recently?"

As he asked, his face darkened, and his mind was full of doubts.

For a moment, he couldn't remember which son Zhao Gou was!
The eighth prince?Nine princes?Or the tenth prince?
These three numbers, eight, nine, and ten, kept swirling in his mind for a while.

When Zhao Gou heard that his father was asking himself, he was really flattered, and quickly got up and said: "Father, my son is here..."

Just as Zhao Gou spoke, his words were interrupted by the palace servants who hurried in: "Your Majesty! A secret message came from the Hidden Flower Pavilion!"

The palace man ran quickly, got close to Song Huizong and whispered softly in his ear.

Zhao Gou didn't know what he said.

Just vaguely, I seemed to hear something about "Master Li".

In an instant, Song Huizong's face changed drastically. He couldn't help being ecstatic, and he quickly straightened up and was about to leave.

Zhao Gou's heart tightened, and he stepped forward to grab Song Huizong's dragon robe.

He said anxiously: "Father, today is mother's birthday, father! Can't you sit with mother for a while longer?"

Song Huizong's steps were very fast, and one foot had already stepped out of the palace gate.

He turned around in a hurry, patted Zhao Gou on the shoulder, and said with a trembling smile: "I'll come as soon as I go, you two, mother and son, just wait for me!"

Today, Master Li, the number one in the Canghua Pavilion, the big brothel in Bianliang City, just returned from his hometown.

Before leaving Bianliang City, Li Shishi made an agreement with Song Huizong. After returning, the two of them had a tryst again in Zanghua Pavilion.

It is said that she is just a prostitute and not a relative of the royal family. How can it be more important than Concubine Wei Xian's birthday?
But it never occurred to him that after Song Huizong left, he never came back.

Concubine Wei Xian and mother and son Zhao Gou had mixed feelings on their faces and looked at each other in silence. Concubine Wei Xian only sat for a moment, then got up and went back to the bed to rest.

At this time, the rain outside gradually stopped, and Zhao Gou let out a deep sigh.

He took a long sword from the side and rushed out quickly.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he unsheathed his sword and danced wildly in the courtyard.

The long sword in Zhao Gou's hand was like a long dragon, dancing rapidly in all directions, and rain kept splashing.

He gritted his teeth, and large tracts of grievance and anger surged in his heart.

With a shake of his left shoulder and a shake of his right arm, the long sword in his hand immediately followed his rapid advance and danced towards an apricot tree directly in front of him.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were all surprised.

In the past, everyone only regarded the Ninth Prince Zhao Gou as just a frail and handsome young man.

Who would have thought that the swordsmanship of the Ninth Prince Zhao Gou would be the best in the world!
He grew up in this deep palace, surrounded by women, eunuchs and eunuchs, but he actually had such skill, which really shocked the heavens.

From the beginning to the end, no one knew that the Ninth Prince Zhao Gou had a clear mind, a profound knowledge and a strong memory.

He is capable of lifting a cauldron, and his martial arts are unparalleled.

His achievements in poetry and books are already among the best in the world, and he is also born with supernatural powers. With just these two arms, he can lift objects weighing 150 kilograms.

The Ninth Prince Zhao Gou could indeed be said to be both civil and military, but the reason why he was able to reach this level was actually mainly because he wanted to please Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

Her mother, Concubine Wei Xian, seemed to have been relegated to the cold palace from the beginning. He was only thinking about attracting the attention of Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

Well, there is no other way, it must be this way.You know, in the era where Earl Ying lived in his previous life.

The world's evaluation of Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, is often that he was weak and incompetent, groveling, cowardly by nature, and appointed treacherous and sycophantic ministers.

Apart from being quite efficient in escaping, it is basically useless.

Come to think of it, who favored the treacherous minister Qin Hui in every possible way, and who with twelve gold medals forcibly recalled Yue Fei from the battlefield and killed him with poisoned wine.

Who is it that is willing to submit to the Kingdom of Jin and be a subordinate?
It was none other than the Ninth Prince Zhao Gou.

Pushing away the fog of history, I want to come to Earl Ying on a certain day a year later.

At the invitation of the so-called "Master Chen" or "Eunuch Chen" in his mouth, he came to Bianliang City.

By then, Earl Ying will be able to see with his own eyes the courageous, knowledgeable, and flesh-and-blood Ninth Prince Zhao Gou.

At this time, Zhao Gou danced his sword wildly under the big apricot tree, almost crazy.

The green and delicate leaves rose up with the wind of his sword and flew all over the sky.

They keep flying up and down, and they keep falling down one after another.

He gasped for breath, and a few beads of sweat the size of soybean grains fell from the top of his head, following the drizzle, and landed on the sword body.

The crisp sound of "click" is continuous.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a few laughs coming from outside the courtyard.

Zhao Gou turned his head and took a closer look, and found that they were the mother and daughter of Concubine Qin and Princess Xianfu Zhao Qiaoyun who lived nearby.

This blessed princess, Zhao Qiaoyun, was the 16th daughter of Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

Concubine Qin smiled coquettishly and said, "Zhao Gou, you are very leisurely. There are not many people in your palace."

"You don't want to help your mother with more menial work. Instead, you are dancing with a sword here. Let me ask you, is this a job you deserve to do?"

Zhao Gou was naturally intelligent, and he knew there was something in Concubine Qin's words as soon as he heard it.

It was full of ridicule and sarcasm towards him.

But he was neither humble nor arrogant, he just stood there and lowered his noble head.

He bent down and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Qin!"

When Concubine Qin heard what Zhao Gou said, she laughed and laughed tremblingly at Princess Xianfu who was standing behind her.

"There is a very good saying among the people, which is "Children from poor families will become rich early." Please take a good look at your Ninth Brother. It's really amazing. He has mastered this knowledge at a young age!"

Princess Xianfu laughed so hard that she pointed at Zhao Gou's nose and laughed.

"You are so whimsical that you live in a dream. You write, read, and chop all day long."

"Who do you think you are? Is it possible that you really think that after practicing so hard, my father will be able to look at you more?"

Zhao Gou didn't get up either, just listened expressionlessly.

Concubine Qin said with a smile: "Look at him one more time? Hehe! You are just kidding!"

"I'm afraid so, your father doesn't remember at all, he still has such a wishful thinking Ninth Prince!"

The mother and daughter laughed together.

Zhao Gou didn't know whether the mother in the palace heard it.

well!Having said that, what would happen if I heard it?

Don’t I still have to be here, listening to the gossip of the mother and daughter?
So, Zhao Gou, who looked lonely, planned to put away his sword and go back.

"cough!"

At this moment, a woman's voice clearing her throat was heard from directly in front.

Immediately, the woman said: "Qin Guifei, don't you know that this is my sister's residence?"

"You are blind, get out of my way quickly, good dogs don't block the way! You made me anxious, let's see if I will report it to the Holy One!"
