The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 241 The Crown Prince's Shame

Zhao Yougong, who had disappeared from the court for a long time, reappeared and set off a huge wave, causing all the officials to speculate.Moreover, Song Huizong's attitude was obviously biased toward Zhao Yougong's comeback, and he praised him a lot.At the same time, Zhao Yougong stood side by side with Zhao Gou, in stark contrast to Prince Zhao Huan, Gao Qiu and others, which meant that he stood on Zhao Gou's side and was their enemy.

Zhao Gou had already overwhelmed Prince Zhao Huan, and adding Zhao Yougong's difficult master made them even more headaches.Prince Zhao Huan is a few years older than Zhao Yougong, so he has known each other since childhood, but Zhao Yougong is only a casual acquaintance, not a deep friendship.

Although Zhao Huan is the eldest prince, his talent and resourcefulness are still far behind; Zhao Huan is a literati who completely inherited Song Huizong's talents, while Zhao Yougong, on the contrary, inherited Zhao Si's hobby of martial arts and obsession.Even if Zhao Yougong and Zhao Si are not as addicted to martial arts, there is no difference. He is surrounded by generals, and the two walk on different paths, so their relationship is not very good.

Zhao Yougong and Zhao Huan once entered the court, and when they met, it was just a ceremony of nodding, let alone communicating in private.Crown Prince Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou standing together, feeling nothing in his heart, his fists were pulled tightly, and he looked at the two of them angrily.

At the beginning, Zhao Huan also took the initiative to show his favor, but Zhao Yougong didn't give him a chance at all, full of arrogance, he didn't take him seriously at all.Zhao Gou didn't know what happened between Zhao Yougong and Zhao Huan, but he accidentally glanced at the anger and resignation in Zhao Huan's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that the two of them seemed to have something to do.

After the morning court ended, all the officials dispersed, Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong walked out of the palace gate side by side and left.Never thought that Prince Zhao Huan came over alone, Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Huan in surprise, Zhao Yougong glanced at him without changing his face, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness!"

Prince Zhao Huan stared at Zhao Yougong intently, raised his head proudly, and said with a smile: "Yougong, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style! I don't know how your injury is, why don't I tell my father to let the imperial doctor go there?" ?”

Although Zhao Huan had a smiling face, Zhao Gou always felt that his smile was fake, and a sneer flashed across his face, which was well covered up by him.However, Zhao Gou was sure that what Zhao Huan said was not sincere at all, as if he wished him to die sooner, which made him very strange.

From his memory, he doesn't remember any relationship between Zhao Yougong and Prince Zhao Huan. The Zhao Yougong in history is also very different from the one beside him. Even Prince Zhao Huan is not as cowardly and incompetent as he imagined. Seniors, it seems like a conspirator.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your concern. My brother is fine. It's just a minor injury, and he has already recovered! If there is nothing wrong, my brother will leave first!" Zhao Yougong replied calmly, without waiting Zhao Huan replied and left directly.

Zhao Gou looked at the two of them inexplicably, and finally said goodbye and followed Zhao Huan's footsteps to leave.After they left, Prince Zhao Huan's smile disappeared, and he stared coldly at the backs of Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou, and left with a cold snort.

"Cousin, do you have any enmity with the prince?" Zhao Gou asked curiously.

Zhao Yougong turned his head, and replied with no expression on his face: "What's wrong? Do you have this question?"

Zhao Gou recalled the expression on the prince's face, and joked: "If you have no enmity with the prince, why does he look at you with hatred? And the concern just now, on the surface it sounds like genuine concern, listen carefully and wish you could As if dead, what is it, how about listening to it?"

Zhao Yougong looked at Zhao Gou's curious face, smiled dumbfoundedly, recalled the past, and sighed: "The enmity between me and him is not as serious as you think, and it all happened when I was young. Let me tell you and listen to it!"

Zhao Yougong told Zhao Gou everything that happened between him and Zhao Huan. It turned out that the descendants of the Zhao family were taught by special officials.At that time, Zhao Huan was only five years old, and Zhao Yougong was three years old. Zhao Huan was the elder of the two, but the three-year-old Zhao Yougong inherited his father's physique and was about the same height. Zhao Huan seemed much weaker in comparison.

It happened that Song Huizong and Zhao Si both came to the academy to see how they were learning, but that time when they encountered a martial arts competition and assessment, they were all children, and it was impossible for them to really compete in martial arts. All right.

"What's so interesting about playing boxing? How about a direct competition?" Three-year-old Zhao Yougong watched them listen to his master's taunting words, then raised his head proudly and directly talked about the competition, which made the instructor who taught them embarrass I couldn't hang up anymore, I was very embarrassed.

Five-year-old Zhao Huan thought he was the oldest and the eldest son of the emperor. Seeing Zhao Yougong's disdainful expression, he stepped forward and angrily said: "Yougong, don't be rude to the teacher, why don't you apologize quickly!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yougong didn't think of him as the eldest son of the emperor at all, and replied dismissively: "Who are you to yell in front of me, if you don't have that ability, go away!"

Zhao Huan kindly persuaded him, but was ridiculed by Zhao Yougong again, his face flushed and he roared angrily: "Yougong, why are you talking like that, let me teach you today what respecting a teacher is!"

Zhao Yougong heard that Zhao Huan wanted to compete with him, and after looking him up and down, he turned around very proudly, and said mockingly: "You still compete with me with your small body? I think it's better to forget it! When I beat you so hard that the emperor couldn't recognize him, that's not good, I think you'd better play a few punches obediently!"

The young Zhao Yougong inherited Zhao Sitian's fearless character, even if Zhao Huan was the eldest son of the emperor, he didn't take it seriously.Zhao Huan thought he was the eldest son of the emperor, and the future emperor was so taunted by Zhao Yougong that he couldn't catch his breath. He felt that he had lost face, so he rushed forward angrily and directly attacked Zhao Yougong.

Although Zhao Yougong is only three years old, his skills are not like those of ordinary children, and Zhao Huan did not delve into martial arts. Where is his opponent, Zhao Yougong pinned him to the ground with three punches and five kicks, and finally other children came forward to help Zhao Huan He was also beaten by Zhao Yougong.

In the end, it was the teacher who came forward to stop the situation. It happened that the emperor and Zhao Si saw this scene. Zhao Si looked at his son dumbfounded. He wanted to beat him up but was stopped by Zhao Ji. He just smiled and said he was a child. The contradiction between them is harmless, and they are not taken seriously at all.

Song Huizong and Zhao Si left again. Before leaving, Zhao Si gave his son a hard look, but Zhao Ji didn't take it seriously.From then on, every time Zhao Yougong saw Zhao Huan, he would ridicule him for being too small, and jokingly asked him to practice with him a few times. Every time, Zhao Heng lowered his head disheartened, and had to swallow his anger if he couldn't beat Zhao Yougong.

That incident became the shame of Zhao Huan's life. Later, he and Zhao Yougong entered the court at the same time as officials. It was Zhao Yougong who flourished in the officialdom, while Zhao Huan became an 'incompetent'.For a long time, Zhao Yougong has been pressing on Zhao Huan's head, making him, the eldest son of the emperor, feel ashamed but helpless, finally waited until Zhao Yougong closed his door to think about his mistakes, dismissed from office, and had no chance when he was shamed.

Now, Zhao Huan is the prince, and Zhao Yougong once again entered the court as an official, Zhao Yougong still has the same attitude as before, without the slightest respect, and he is not a prince at all in his eyes, which makes Zhao Huan furious but has no choice.However, Prince Zhao Huan believes that as long as he enters the court, there will be a chance for him to be ashamed!
