The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 264 Father, are you joking?

"Cousin, what do you mean? Why can't I understand!" Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Yougong with wide eyes in surprise, he really didn't understand.

Seeing Zhao Gou's appearance, Zhao Yougong was stunned for a while before replying, "Are you kidding me?"

Zhao Gou said seriously: "Cousin, do you think I will joke with you?"

Zhao Yougong believed it, shook his head and denied: "Okay!... Didn't you see your name in this poem?" Zhao Gou looked at it again for a long while, but still didn't see the clue, Zhao Yougong sighed helplessly: " Your name is Deji, don't you even know this?"

"Deji?" Zhao Gou thought for a while, and suddenly remembered this matter. He was indeed named Deji, and Zhao Yougong was right.It's just that Zhao Gou didn't have words at all before he was crowned, and what he remembered was only learned in later generations, not now.

In other words, Zhao Gou has always been called an adult, county king, general, etc., and no one has ever called himself "Deji".If Zhao Yougong hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it.It's just that this matter is not what it is called now at all, so how could it appear on it.

"I don't blame you if you don't remember it. You were young at that time, how can you remember these things!" Seeing Zhao Gou's dull gaze, Zhao Yougong stood there dumbfounded without saying a word, couldn't help but shook his head, and explained: "At that time, you were born a hundred days ago, and your father held a banquet for you in the palace. Before you were carried out, he chose the word 'Deji' for you in front of the officials."

"Father once said that you have not been crowned yet, so this word will be used after you are crowned. At that time, you only had a clear memory of the past at Bairi, and I was also invited at that time, so I know the situation at that time. The appearance of this poem is clearly aimed at you, but you, the person concerned, don’t even know about it, so I really don’t know what to say about you.”

Zhao Gou smiled embarrassingly, he really didn't know what happened at that time.Afterwards, even Zhao Yougong, the court minister, never called him 'Deji', but just called him Ninth Brother or County King and other titles, making him forget that there was such a thing.

Zhao Yougong wanted to say something more but heard someone report from outside: "Young master, the emperor sent an imperial decree to let you enter the palace as soon as possible!"

"Oops!" Zhao Yougong yelled secretly, he rushed over immediately after receiving the news, it was still a step late, the matter was still known by the emperor, and he whispered: "I'm afraid the emperor has already known about this matter , be sure to tell the truth before the meeting!"

Zhao Gou nodded to show that he understood, Zhao Yougong thought about it and entered the palace with Zhao Gou.Along the way, both of them were expressionless, because they both believed in their hearts that there must be no good things going into the palace this time.Although Zhao Gou did not instigate this incident, it still has something to do with him.

At the same time, with a smile on his face, Song Huizong looked at the poems on the table with great interest, and couldn't help reciting them.The eunuchs serving beside him couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind, they just felt that the next thing was going to be bad, and in their opinion, someone must be in bad luck.

Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty found this poem after reviewing the memorial. One of the officials in the court wrote the poem on paper without writing anything, and told the truth about the situation among the people.At that time, Song Huizong didn't care about it, and he didn't see the clue until after reciting it once.

"Deji? Deji?..." As a big expert in the industry, Song Huizong Zhao Ji is proficient in all kinds of poems, lyrics, songs and fu. After reading this poem, he knew that he was a Tibetan poem, and after reading the meaning written in the memorial, he roughly guessed What is going on, he smiled lightly and said: "It turned out to be such a result!..."

Therefore, Song Huizong ordered Zhao Gou to be summoned to the palace.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong entered the palace with strides. After careful observation, they found that the defense of the Imperial Forest Army was more rigorous and much faster than before.The two of them looked at each other, feeling strange in their hearts, but they didn't say anything, suppressing their curiosity and came to the imperial study.

"My son, Zhao Gou, has met the emperor!"

"My minister has seen the emperor!"

Song Huizong said with a faint smile: "Excuse me!"

Zhao Gou asked straight to the point: "Father, why did you summon your minister in such a hurry?"

"Don't you know?" Song Huizong saw Zhao Gou walking in and saw the memorial in his hand, as well as the poems he copied, and he understood most of it in his heart.Zhao Ji guessed that Zhao Gou had already understood and was still pretending to be confused. This made him dumbfounded, and thought to himself: "With your little knowledge, you are ashamed to show off in front of me, and I will deal with you later!"

"My son is stupid!" Zhao Gou still pretended to be confused and shook his head, looking at Zhao Gou innocently;

But who is Song Huizong!Knowing a son is like a father, how could Zhao Ji not know Zhao Gou's little tricks!Since Zhao Gou wanted to pretend to be confused, Zhao Ji was not in a hurry, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "I got a poem by chance, and it actually has your name on it, and it is mentioned that you are the future monarch of the Song Dynasty. I wonder if you have seen it before?" ?”

"I haven't seen it!" Zhao Gou replied confidently without any hesitation.

Looking at Zhao Gou's appearance, Zhao Yougong still seemed confident and confident, as if his heart had been blocked by something, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.He had never seen someone open their eyes and talk nonsense, but seeing it on Zhao Gou today really opened his eyes.

If Zhao Yougong didn't mention it, Zhao Gou really didn't know that the person mentioned in the poem was himself; now, if Zhao Gou said he didn't know, that would be nonsense.The corner of Zhao Yougong's mouth twitched, he was speechless, he had seen what it meant to be truly thick-skinned.

"Since you don't know, then I don't mind talking to you!" Zhao Ji saw Zhao Gou pretending to be ignorant, but he didn't pierce it, and let him continue to pretend, and he continued to act with him, his mouth slightly raised in teasing Dao: "The first sentence of this poem is 'virtuous and humble, but kind and multi-hearted', which refers to someone who is duplicity and hides a different heart; Power is not as simple as it appears on the surface, there is a greater power hidden in the dark, let me be on guard; the last two sentences mean that someone helped enter the court and directly ascended the throne as emperor. This poem is still a Tibetan poem, expressing That person's name is still yours, I am a little puzzled!"

"Father, what's so puzzling about this is that someone maliciously slandered him!" Zhao Gou looked at Song Huizong calmly without blushing or panting, as if it really had nothing to do with him.

Song Huizong was so depressed by Zhao Gou's appearance, he slapped the table violently, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, Ming people don't slander; tell me directly, did you do this?"

Zhao Gou saw that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he replied truthfully: "I didn't do it, I just found out about it; as for who did it, I don't think I will tell you, the emperor knows it well!"

The second monk Zhao Yougong looked at the two of them puzzled, always felt that this matter was different from what he had expected, as if it seemed harmless to them.Curious in his heart, he pricked up his ears, stepped forward and took two steps, wanting to see what was going on.

"Stinky boy! Stop pretending to be with me!" Song Huizong scolded with a smile. He also knew who did this, but he didn't want to mention it.If mentioning it at other times might affect your mood, even if it is mentioned now, it feels a little awkward. In his opinion, this matter is indeed a bit too much.

However, Zhao Ji's next words stunned Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong, "I really hope that you wrote this poem. If that's the case, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone and save a lot of trouble. How about this , let’s make mistakes again and again, you will directly ascend the throne as emperor, and I will be free, what do you think?”

"Father, are you joking?" Zhao Gou was taken aback and yelled in disbelief; upon hearing Song Huizong's words, Zhao Gou was stunned. He really believed that what Song Huizong said was a joke.But after seeing Zhao Ji's unwavering gaze, Zhao Gou was evasive and didn't dare to look at him at all, for fear that he would really directly pass down the imperial decree to him, then he would really have nothing to say.

Zhao Yougong was also very surprised, he knew that the emperor treats Zhao Gou differently from other princes, not only pampering him, but even delegating power to him.Now, after hearing what Zhao Ji said, he was also dumbfounded.Moreover, Zhao Yougong could tell that Zhao Ji was a little disappointed, he believed that what the emperor said was true and there was no adulteration.

Zhao Ji glared angrily, and said angrily: "Are you joking? You worthless thing, the king of a country controls the world and has the power of life and death. How many people are expecting you to think that I will joke with you again?" , anger kills me too!"

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong were petrified, Zhao Ji's words made them not know how to continue, so they could only stand still in place and stare blankly at Zhao Ji.After all, they really haven't thought about this matter at present, even if it is to overthrow the princelings, Zhao Gou has never thought about becoming emperor.

According to historical records, Prince Zhao Huan did inherit the Datong and became Song Qinzong; as for himself, he was still the last one, so it should be impossible to jump.Zhao Gou thought of a series of events that happened before, which had exceeded his understanding of history, and he was really not sure that Song Huizong would pass on the throne to him, so he smiled bitterly: "It's really shooting yourself in the foot. , I should have stopped it in advance if I knew it was going to be like this! Alas!..."

The ninth five-year-old statue seems to have unlimited scenery, but in fact it is difficult to walk.If he is really enthroned as emperor, there may be many things.At present, Zhao Gou does not have such an idea.As for the future, I don't want to think too much about things after that time. The key is to solve the current conflict.

At the beginning, when Wang Fu released the news, Zhao Gou knew it, and he didn't stop him just to see what kind of tricks he was playing.He never thought that he saw his father's tricks before seeing Wang Fu's tricks, which made him feel so embarrassing.If he answered that he wanted it, he could not be sure that Song Huizong really deposed Zhao Huan and appointed him as the prince; if he didn't want it, then why did he work hard for the country and the people?

Song Huizong took a deep look at Zhao Gou and sighed. He really wanted to establish another prince.If Zhao Gou hadn't shown such desire, Zhao Ji wouldn't have forced him to take the initiative occasionally.This poem completely ignited Zhao Ji's inner thoughts, but Zhao Gou was unwilling to accept it, which made him smile a bit reluctantly.

Prince Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou are both his sons. As the king of a country, he naturally hopes that his son will be better than blue.Since Zhao Gou was born, Zhao You has been very clear about what he has done, and he knows his temperament even more. From his point of view, Zhao Gou will be much stronger than Zhao Huan in the future. He will definitely lead the Song Dynasty to become stronger. The idea he has always insisted on has never wavered.

Not only did he believe it, but Zhao Ji took action to help Zhao Gou, otherwise he would not have passed on the Amber Villa to him and let him take over as the owner of the villa.Zhao Ji thought about it for a while, pondered for a moment, finally let go of the stubbornness in his heart, and had to let nature take its course, some things would be counterproductive if forced, so we can't act too hastily.

Zhao Ji sighed: "Hey!... Forget it, let's just talk about it! As for the next thing, have you already made plans?"

Zhao Gou saw that Zhao Ji no longer entangled in the issue of succession and changed the subject. He also breathed a sigh of relief. He could not talk about sensitive topics for the time being. There is no chance of regret, this time we have to see what cards we have."

"It's so good, if there's nothing else, please leave!" Zhao Ji frowned, rubbed his temples lightly, and then continued to review the memorial.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong resigned, and when they walked out of the imperial study, they became much more relaxed; before, the two of them kept silent on that topic by coincidence.After all, the matter of the throne is too sensitive.Zhao Yougong was startled when he heard it, but he smiled knowingly afterwards.

It's just that Zhao Gou frowned all the way, not knowing what to think about, only he himself knew.This was the first time for the two of them to go out of the palace together in a serious manner, without saying a word, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened, and began to speculate one after another.

"Hey, why is Thirteenth Brother unwilling?" Zhao Ji shook his head sadly. He really couldn't figure out why he was unwilling to accept the throne that everyone was looking forward to, as long as Zhao Gou needed only one sentence.

Zhao Si smiled wryly and said: "Brother Huang, you should know the reason why I don't want to compete with you for the throne! It seems to be easy to get, but in fact it is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers; it seems that the king of a country has many scruples in his actions. Now Isn't he better?"

Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Si in puzzlement, and heard him continue to say: "Brother Huang, the throne may be the position that everyone dreams of, but this throne is not stable. Who do you think would dare to do it? With the current situation in the Song Dynasty, you I know it all, and he knows it very well; at this moment, if you raise this question, it will put a lot of pressure on him, if you really agree, what do you think, Brother Huang?"

Zhao Ji bowed his head in thought and said nothing, sighed: "It's still because I acted too hastily, I was too abrupt!"

Zhao didn't seem to answer, because Zhao Ji was too anxious about this matter and couldn't blame others, so it was a bit abrupt.If you analyze it carefully, you will definitely not say these words.Zhao seemed to see clearly from behind, Zhao Gou's complexion changed suddenly, his whole body became stiff, and he frowned, he knew that Zhao Gou was shocked by Zhao Ji's words; he looked up at the troubled Zhao Ji, and shook his head helplessly.
