Funing Hall

Rantao took out the court clothes and wanted to change them for Zhao Cong. This is because His Majesty is not allowed to govern personally, otherwise when they summon ministers and clan members, most of them will wear court clothes.The first emperor was in the past, and the rules have always been like this.It is rare for someone to come to see His Majesty, so it is natural to do it properly when dyeing pottery.

Zhao Cong waved his hand: "Just wear ordinary clothes."

"Your Majesty—" Rantao wanted to persuade him again.

"Go get it and put it on for me."

Seeing his insistence, Rantao had no choice but to get ordinary clothes to replace him.

Zhao Cong reached out and let Rantao dress him.

King Wei Jun came naturally and stood in line.He heard that the Empress Dowager Sun sent someone to the Prince Wei Palace today, and the Sun family father and son even went there in person.If King Wei was coaxed well, naturally there would be no such thing as before.

From this point of view, Empress Dowager Sun didn't coax people well.

Since Duke Wei is here, he doesn't mind pretending to be pitiful again.

Rantao also wanted to tie his hair in a bun and wear a jade crown, so he said, "Use a wooden hairpin."

"Your Majesty!" Rantao was shocked, how could he use a wooden hairpin?

"Quick." Zhao Cong urged her.

Rantao had no choice but to do so.

King Wei Jun sat in the hall, looking at Funing Hall alone.

This is the emperor's bedroom, and he has been here many times since Taizu.It stands to reason that whether it is the Taizu or the late emperor, even if it is not luxurious, there are everything that should be in the palace, and there are always some magnificent things that show the emperor's prestige.

Now it's Zhao Cong who lives here, it's too clean and simple!

He looked around like this, the plain color of the water made him frown from time to time.He took a sip of the tea soup served by the maid, but fortunately the tea was still good.As soon as he relaxed his brows, he heard footsteps.

He put down the teacup without haste, got up and looked to the right.

Zhao Cong came out from behind the window. He was smiling all over his face. After the figure appeared, he saw King Wei, and his pace accelerated a lot.

This made King Wei very useful.

But when he took a closer look at Zhao Cong's attire, his brows furrowed even tighter.

He also suddenly remembered that since Zhao Cong ascended the throne, he has seen Zhao Cong in court clothes less than three times in total.

Zhao Cong is in poor health, his face is pale and his body is thin.At this moment, he also looks like he has been awakened from sleep, his eyes are a little loose, and he is wearing a black robe with wide sleeves, which makes his body even thinner.

King Wei Jun looked at the wooden hairpin in Zhao Cong's hair again, and couldn't help feeling suffocated, what a crime it was all made!

The Emperor of the Zhao family actually used wooden hairpins like those officials who were demoted because of their ambitions. Could it be that in a few days, Zhao Cong would even have to wear a Taoist robe? !He felt more and more sorry for the Taizu, the late Emperor, and even more sorry for Prince Anding who always respected him.

Prince Wei Jun was originally a person who loves to pretend, but at this moment, he was [-]% true and [-]% false, and he shed tears again, and he was about to kneel down, and bitterly said: "Your Majesty! The minister is incompetent!—"

Zhao Cong didn't expect King Wei Jun to love acting so much, he cried as soon as he came up, he was so frightened that he hurried forward to support him, and said in surprise: "What is Uncle Wang doing!"

"Your Majesty!!—"

King Wei Jun was tall and strong, but Zhao Cong's small body really couldn't hold him up, especially since he wanted to kneel so badly.Seeing this, Fu Lu came up to help Zhao Cong and supported King Wei Jun.

Zhao Cong sighed: "Uncle Wang, this is the first time you have come back to me. If you want to do this, I will really dare not see you in the future."

Duke Wei's heart trembled, if someone else said this, he would have heard the meaning of ridicule and blame.But Zhao Cong's words are really hard to say.In the past, Prince An Ding was a simple and honest person, but he did not expect his son to be more honest than him.He raised his eyes to look at Zhao Cong, and happened to see Zhao Cong stroking his forehead, wiping sweat.

He couldn't help but feel bitter again, he really is a poor child with such a weak body.

He also stopped pretending, and stood up following Fu Lu's hand, but in the end he stood upright and bowed to Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong bent down and stretched out his hands to help him up, and said softly: "Uncle Wang, don't do this." He also wanted to invite King Wei to sit on the first seat with him.

How could King Wei agree?He was no longer polite, and sat down on the high chair on the right.

Rantao wiped Zhao Cong's sweat carefully with his handkerchief, and offered him a bowl of sour plum juice that had been tempered with well water.

Zhao Cong took a sip and said apologetically, "Uncle Wang is making fun of me. My body is really useless." He drank another half bowl and asked, "Uncle Wang, do you want to use some?"

The stuff was sour and sweet, Duke Wei was getting old, and his teeth were not very good after all, so he didn't dare to drink it, so he quickly waved his hand.

Zhao Cong drank the bowl of sour plum juice very naturally, then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and asked Wei County King very kindly as if chatting with the elders in the family: "Uncle Wang is here to see Xiao Shiyi today. Bar?"

"..." Duke Wei was at a loss for words, to tell the truth, he had long forgotten about his eleventh grandson.

Of course Zhao Cong knew that King Wei Jun did not come for Zhao Shishi, but he had to pretend to be stupid.He said to Ran Tao: "Go and see if Mr. Xiao Lang is still asleep? Call him, his grandfather will come to see him."

Rantao responded and was about to go.

"Wait." King Wei quickly stopped, and said with a smile, "The child is also weak, just let him sleep, I still have something to say to His Majesty."

"Forget it, Rantao, you go there to guard, and bring Mr. Xiaolang over in half an hour." Zhao Cong still did not forget to say to the king of Wei County, "I force Xiao Shiyi to stay in the palace, but I am making things difficult for Uncle Wang. .”

This made King Wei blush, it was obvious that his family deliberately kept him in the palace.

He took another careful look at Zhao Cong, and he was indeed very pure and innocent, without any falsehood.He was really convinced, as expected, whoever was born looks like him, just like Prince Anding!

Even so, King Wei didn't hesitate any longer, and when Zhao Cong waved away the maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the room, he said directly: "Your Majesty, you are 16 years old this year, and you are about to take charge of the government—"

Zhao Cong hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, you also know that I am useless and have little experience. I am very relieved that the Empress Dowager is here to listen to the government."

Hearing these words, Duke Wei wanted to vomit blood, and he was too hopeless!

He couldn't help lowering his voice: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, how can you let the Queen Mother always govern?"

Zhao Cong said humbly, "Uncle Wang taught you the lesson."

"I'm not teaching Your Majesty, but this world is the responsibility of our Zhao family. If the late emperor's biography belongs to you, I believe in you and place my hopes on you. You were still young in the past, but now you have reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, you should take on the responsibility. This duty!"

Zhao Cong straightened his back: "Uncle Wang is absolutely right."

Seeing that he could still listen, King Wei Jun felt at ease, and said again: "Many people in the court are waiting for your majesty to take charge of the government. Your majesty doesn't know that at the grand court meeting on the first day of May, even Liao and Xixia All the envoys are looking forward to your Majesty taking charge."

Zhao Cong really didn't know this, he still had too few people, so he couldn't help looking at Duke Wei.

Duke Wei thought to himself that there is still hope for salvation. Knowing that this is an important matter, he said: "Usually, after the court disperses, within three days, all the envoys from various countries have set foot on their way home. This time, they read In autumn, Your Majesty’s Longevity Festival is still living in Beijing. On the day of the Great Court Meeting, the envoys of Liao and Xixia even asked the Queen Mother about this in person.”

Zhao Cong knew it well, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom were obviously waiting to see the excitement!Definitely didn't have any good intentions, I'm afraid I also want to see the good show of this little emperor.But he didn't show it at all, he just followed Wei Junwang's words and showed uneasiness: "This, this—"

Seeing his frightened look, Duke Wei felt angry. He said directly: "I think His Majesty should meet them sometime. They also want to see Your Majesty very much."

"This, this has always been arranged by the Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager is only in charge of the government. It's time for you to learn to do something."

Zhao Cong still showed hesitation.

King Wei Jun had already made up his mind to persuade Zhao Cong to see the envoy, but he still didn't believe it. Even foreign envoys asked Zhao Cong to be in charge. Her Queen Mother Sun still had the face to continue to control the government.Although he is an idle prince with no real power, he still has some prestige. When the time comes, he will call some old ministers to join him. I don't believe that Zhao Cong can't be in charge.

Zhao Cong knew about King Wei's plan, but King Wei had pretended to be a fool for so many years, and he didn't want to let him go easily.

What's more, King Wei Jun left Zhao Shishi with him for the sake of their palace, so he felt sorry for the child Zhao Shixi.What's wrong with Zhao Shixi?Wasn't it because he was stupid, and his birth mother's status was low, and he was unsuccessful in the family, so he was sent out to be used as a pawn.

If he gets better in the future, with Zhao Shishi around, their Wei County Prince's Mansion will surely rise with the tide and continue to be peaceful.

If he was not careful, in case of death, Zhao Shiyi would be abolished as well.

Really good plan.

Zhao Cong thought about it, and continued to put on an honest but slightly timid look, and said, "Uncle Wang, I really want to meet those envoys, I remember seeing them when I was young. But I really don't know how to get along with the Queen Mother." Just open your mouth, look..."

King Wei knew it, but he didn't know that Zhao Cong was trying to drag him into the water, he thought Zhao Cong was really timid.

Forget it, when he entered the palace today, he skipped the Empress Dowager Sun and came directly to see Zhao Cong. It was obvious that he had torn skins with the Empress Dowager Sun, and he responded straight away: "Your Majesty will accompany you on this trip!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Zhao Cong stood up and bowed.

King Wei quickly stood up too: "Why are you doing this, Your Majesty!"

Since he was going to see Queen Mother Sun, naturally the sooner the better.

King Weijun just wanted to suggest going quickly, Zhao Cong called a maid in and asked, "Go and see if Mr. Xiaolang is awake, and ask Rantao to bring him here. Uncle Wang is here, so he must see his grandfather." .”

The little palace maid responded, and Zhao Cong looked back at Duke Wei, with a look of consideration for him, and boasted: "Little Shishi Langjun is very good-natured, and it's all thanks to Uncle Wang, who is worthy of being taught by the Taizu himself. of."

"..." Duke Wei was at a loss for words again.

Fortunately, Rantao quickly brought Zhao Shishi over.

As soon as he came in, Prince Wei approached him affectionately: "Eleventh, let Daddy take a good look at you!"

But as soon as Wei Junwang's words fell, Zhao Shixi walked quickly to Zhao Cong's side and looked at him indifferently.

Zhao Cong almost laughed stupidly in his heart, let Weijun Wang pretend!I'm afraid I haven't seen it a few times at home, so what are you doing here!But he said softly: "Eleventh, don't be rude, meet your grandfather soon."

He pushed Zhao Shishi again, and Zhao Shishi reluctantly took two or three steps forward and stood in front of King Weijun.

Prince Wei was not embarrassed when he was old in the world. Instead, he looked up and down deliberately, and sighed: "After all, he is raising people in the palace! My little eleven is much stronger these days."

Zhao Shishi still looked indifferent, not to mention this life, in the previous life, he and his grandfather had not met a lot together.If Duke Wei hadn't done a good deed before he died, he would not bother to take a look at it in two lifetimes.Zhao Shishi looked down on someone like King Wei who was greedy for life and afraid of death, so why did he come to see Zhao Cong?

King Wei Jun looked at the child's lifeless eyes in front of him, but he was inexplicably horrified.

Maybe his motive for keeping this child is not pure, he has a ghost in his heart.For a moment, he even wanted to take Zhao Shishi back, but when he thought about the future of Wei County Prince's Mansion, he became ruthless and avoided Zhao Shishi's eyes.

He turned to salute Zhao Cong again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, seeing Eleven like this, I and his father are relieved."

Still don't plan to take people back?

But it doesn't matter to Zhao Cong, he has already decided to keep Zhao Shishi as a child.If he really wants to take it back, he is still reluctant.

He humbly said: "Where is it? Uncle Wang taught him well, and I got a good boy for nothing. He is my nephew, and I will definitely treat him well. Uncle Wang can rest assured."

King Wei has a hundred hearts!He can't say anything else, Zhao Cong's mind is 100% assured.Zhao Cong was so nice that Queen Mother Sun treated him like a fool.

"In that case, shall we go to Baoci Hall?"

Zhao Cong nodded: "Naturally."

Zhao Shiqi was taken aback, went to see Queen Mother Sun?His cheap grandfather is going with Zhao Cong to meet Queen Mother Sun?What is this for?

In the previous life, as far as he knew, there was no such occurrence.
