treacherous world

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little worried for Zhao Pu, thinking that most of the loyal and good generals who were used to fighting in the past dynasties did not end well, and couldn't help sweating.If something happened to Zhao Pu, it might really shake the morale of the army and cause chaos. Besides, wouldn't Gongsun die of grief?The fourth son is probably going to cry to death too!

"Is there anyone to suspect?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Well, of course there's nothing on the bright side. Although the marshal can fight, he's very slow in this respect..." Before Ziying finished speaking, Bai Yutang laughed, "If someone is slow, someone will be vigilant, such as Grand Master Pang. "

Ziying and Zheying looked at each other, then reached out and nodded to Bai Yutang, "Ha, no wonder Taishi Pang and Master Bao said that Zhan Zhao rarely suffers after you and Zhan Zhao are together."

Zhan Zhao frowned, speaking as if he had suffered a lot in the past!He reached out and took out a handkerchief to wipe his oily hands, then stuffed it back, and asked, "So, when you were leaving, Grand Master Pang provided candidates?"

"Hey." Zhe Ying took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhan Zhao intact, "Before leaving, the grand master stuffed it in my hand, and said that we should deal with it silently, and don't let the prince and Xiang Bao know."

Zhan Zhao opened the paper, "It's so mysterious."

"He has to keep his son-in-law's country, and Zhao Pu is his life-saving grass." Bai Yutang smiled, "I don't let Zhao Pu know because I'm afraid I won't be able to let go, and I don't let Xiang Bao know because Mr. Bao doesn't want to know."

Zhe Ying and Zi Ying gave Bai Yutang a thumbs up together, "What the little prince often said is Jiang Zi!"

Zhan Zhao looked at the paper and saw that there was only one name, he was relieved, it was easy to handle, and there was only one suspect——Zhao Cong.

"Are you from my family?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, who didn't know the members of the royal family or the high officials in Kaifeng's court.

Zhan Zhao also tilted his head, "It seems... I heard of it somewhere."

"Tsk." Ziying shook her head, as if she didn't want to see this person very much.

Zhe Ying told the two of them, "This person is beyond words."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that the matter might be complicated, so they asked Zhe Ying to explain in detail what grievances he had with Zhao Pu.

"Even if Zhao Cong stabbed the lord, the lord probably wouldn't kill him. He doesn't even care if he admits his mistake or not." Zi Ying said surprisingly.

"What?" Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't figure it out. Zhao Pu was not a good-tempered person. A thought flashed through their heads subconsciously, and they blurted out, "Emperor Dowager's illegitimate child?"

"Pfft..." Ziying spouted out a mouthful of tea, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ducked to the side very keenly, and the tea was sprayed on the ground.Fortunately, it was very noisy outside at this time, and no one paid attention.

Zhe Ying reluctantly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang with admiration, "You two, want to change your career and say Xiangsheng?" ", I am not sure if the 8th is the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, so I will use == here.)

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang touched their heads awkwardly.

"The prince was raised by the Eighth Prince and Princess Cheshire, you know?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, "Everyone knows."

"Zhao Cong is one year younger than the prince, and is the biological son of the Eighth Prince and Princess Chai."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, puzzled, "Didn't it mean that the Eighth Prince had no sons? He just adopted a few..."

"Hehe." Zhe Ying laughed, "Originally the throne belonged to the Eighth Prince, and the first emperor snatched it away. Of course, the world is also afraid that if he becomes the emperor's uncle, he will snatch it back."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang drank tea in silence, and it was another battle for the throne, so it was complicated.

"The prince is the youngest brother of the Eight Kings. It is said that he has a strange personality and talent since he was a child. Some people predicted that he would bring the flames of war, but some people said that he would be an immortal talent in the future. You all know about the past. The prince is The mixed race, was picked up and raised for a while, then returned to the desert, and didn't come back until he grew up, that kind of grievance was planted when he was a child."

"The prince and the princess are very low-key. They seem to want to hide the existence of their own son. When he is a little older, he will be sent to a relative's house to find someone to raise him. The couple will wholeheartedly take care of the prince and the young emperor. "Zi Ying pouted, "The son is Zhao Cong."

"Give your parent and child to outsiders to be raised, no parent would be willing." Bai Yutang said, "Is it for his safety?"

"That's the point." Zhe Ying nodded, "Pity the parents of the world. At that time, the emperor was very young, his body was relatively weak, and his temper was very gentle. The prince was very domineering, very similar to Taizu's personality, so he went to court. The people in the middle were divided into two factions, both were royalists, but they kept different bloodlines. The Eighth Prince has the most special status, and he is relatively calm. But..."

"But the existence of Zhao Cong is an obstacle." Zhan Zhao also imitated Bai Yutang just now and said deeply, "The eighth prince weighed the pros and cons to keep Zhao Zhen's throne, and took care of Zhao Pu, but he had a son, no matter which faction he belonged to. It seems that he may have selfish intentions, first control the two princes in his own hands, and then pass the throne to his own son in the future, maybe."

Both Ziying and Zheying nodded, "So, it's not easy to be a good person, and if you're not careful, you'll end up like a bad person!"

"And then?" Bai Yutang asked, "Why are there no rumors about Zhao Cong?"

"In order to keep a low profile, the prince didn't name Zhao Cong very late, so the outside world couldn't spread it, and no one knew his existence. Later, something happened. The queen mother who was in power at the time, that is, the civet cat committed suicide after replacing the prince. Empress Liu, knowing that Zhao Cong didn't have a name yet, she gave him one." Zhe Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, "That woman is not simple, not to mention vicious, but also very scheming. She was born on her own, and later found out that the emperor was the prince who was replaced by herself back then. She was so angry that she always felt that someone was robbing her of her son and successor. She named Zhao Cong the word 'Cong', and everyone was dumbfounded at the time. "

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly. He never thought of people as a last resort, and he was still very slow in some aspects. He asked puzzledly, "Why? The name sounds nice."

Zi Ying and Zhe Ying stretched out their hands and pointed at him, "Ah! Heartless! Just as innocent as the prince back then!"

Zhan Zhao's face was full of black lines, he looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang shook his head and sighed, "The word Cong, one king and one sect, implies that this son is the authentic royal family, reminds the former emperor and the royalists, and there is a person who is robbing the throne, and also implies that the eighth prince is the authentic... Indeed Very vicious."

Zhan Zhao nodded with an "oh", but he was really mean-spirited.

"On the day of giving the name, the Eighth Prince discussed with Wang Cheng and other senior ministers, and finally came up with a plan, pretending that the Eighth Prince's mansion was on fire, and Zhao Cong was burned to death. go in."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't understand.

"Zhao Cong was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and his temper is relatively petty. Moreover, in order to protect him, the Eighth King and Princess always act shamelessly. The Eighth King wants him to become a talent, and he is also very strict with him. He and Zhao Zhen are quite different. It's easy to get along with, after all, the emperor was a adopted son in name before, and he was taken into the palace to be raised soon. But the prince is different, Zhao Cong has hated the prince since he was a child." Zhe Ying has known Zhao Pu for the longest time, and knows a lot about the past Besides, he is a know-it-all and a good gentleman. All the three aunts and six women in the palace, including Princess Cheshire, like to talk to him about their concerns, and he is happy to listen.

"Zhao Cong is the only son, right? With an uncle like Zhao Pu...in fact, he is almost like an elder brother. The existence of such a person means that no one will bully him?" Zhan Zhao frowned in puzzlement, "If Zhao Cong is weak and sick, isn't it? Just right? Why are you unhappy?"

Zi Ying and Zhe Ying looked at Zhan Zhao with drooping eyelids, and pointed at him after a long while, "He is short-sighted and slow, his reaction is the same as the prince's, and his way of thinking is the same!"

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched twice, and Bai Yutang beside him reached out and patted his shoulder, "It's so simple..."

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, thinking that you are the heartless mouse!

Bai Yutang smiled, "I didn't understand at first, but I went to the Tianshan School twice with my master, and found that many disciples and grandchildren who were older than me looked at me and thought I was annoying. Later, my master said that this is called jealousy." .”

"That's right!" Ziying and Zheying nodded to Bai Yutang, and Ziying patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, you are not the most annoying, if you are self-aware and know that you are hated by others, you should avoid them, so as not to bump into villains I'm most afraid of the kind of people who are obviously hated but still stupid, thinking that everyone in the world is similar!" Saying that, they gave Zhan Zhao a sideways look.

Holding the cup in his hand, Zhan Zhao snorted, "Nonsense, I've only dealt with old men since I was a child! I don't want to be hated."

Bai Yutang laughed, seeing Zhan Zhao's unwilling face, he hurriedly asked Zhe Ying, "Why did Zhao Pu almost risk his life?"

"We have to start from the beginning." Zhe Ying ordered two more jars of wine, "It is said that the prince was young when he was young, but the older he grew, the more ruffian he became."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang resisted the urge to spray wine and continued to listen.

"Zhao Cong has a good appearance, he is praised by others since he was a child, he has a good literary talent, and his kung fu is also good. In comparison, the emperor has been very ordinary since he was a child, and seems very inconspicuous."

Bai Yutang sneered, "Let's keep a hand in everything. The high is here. The people under the fence are too capable and easy to be hated. The highest level of wisdom is like foolishness."

"Hey, you've become much wiser recently!" Ziying gave Bai Yutang a thumbs up.

Bai Yutang drank and didn't speak, Zhan Zhao smiled secretly, Bai Yutang only met Zhao Zhen a few times.Most people would think that the emperor was insignificant and too ordinary when they first saw Zhao Zhen. Only Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao after seeing Zhao Zhen, "Stay away from him."

"Zhao Cong is good at everything. Eunuch Cen, the great eunuch who took care of him at home, took care of the Eighth Prince in his early years. He always felt that the Eighth Prince was a loser, so he instilled in Zhao Cong that he was the real son of heaven since he was a child. It makes him arrogant." Zhe Ying gnawed on the mutton with his chin in his hands, "But suddenly one day, a logically speaking, Zhao Pu, who was more worthy of the emperor than Zhao Cong, and better looking than him, was said to have taken over the palace at that time. The hearts of all the maids have gone away."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help but click their tongues, it's a good thing Gongsun didn't hear these words.

"In addition, compared to women, the prince is actually more likely to win the hearts of men..."

"Pfft." Before Ziying could finish speaking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang really spat.

Zhe Ying raised his hand and gave Zi Ying a slap, "Say it clearly, this makes the gentleman hear that the prince is about to be strangled again."

"What do you mean?" Bai Yutang wiped his mouth and oiled his mouth, only to find that there was a handprint on the handkerchief.It turned out that Zhan Zhao was so proficient in pulling out the handkerchief to wipe his mouth and then stuffing it back, that he didn't even realize that the cat was smoking his handkerchief...

"Your lord really has many brothers!" Ziying felt aggrieved after being hit by Zheying, and muttered, "Ask me which of the 40 men in the Zhao family army doesn't like him?!"

Zhe Ying caressed his forehead, "Don't say that there are 40 men who like him, sir, I want to smack the prince 40 times!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came back to their senses, and Ziying was right to say that, Zhao Pu was indeed very popular, and he was unassuming and reckless, making friends easier than the two of them.Bai Yutang himself is eccentric, and he has many eccentric friends, some of whom are thousands of times more eccentric than him.Occasionally, they would have a drink together, and after a few days, most of those weirdos would tell him that Zhao Pu was really suitable to be a brother.

Zhan Zhao was inexplicably emotional, "It's just the opposite of my elder brother..."

Everyone looked at him, it seemed that Zhan Hao didn't have any friendship with others, and only got along well with Zhan Zhao.

"The most irritating thing about the prince is not that he steals everyone's attention within a few days, but his innate talent." Zhe Ying sighed softly, "Princess Cheshire always tells me When I was young, my lord was idle all day long, either riding horses and hunting or looking for a group of friends to play with. When I was young, the king of children was still the king of children when he grew up. He drank and made friends long ago. But he is too smart, he can learn anything at a glance. Master, please come back, Change it in a few days. Master Wu came, and he will definitely be beaten to the ground in three days, and the strangest thing is that Master Wen can also run away in anger."

Zhan Zhao frowned, glanced at Bai Yutang, and remembered the feat of a certain Sister-in-law Lu said that when she was a child, she beat away all the masters of Wu and killed all the masters of Wen in anger.

"Zhao Cong's martial arts is absolutely no match for the prince, but judging from his appearance, he may feel that the prince is not human."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded in agreement, Zhao Pu did look carefree and ignorant, but he was not.Get along with him, he doesn't like reciting poems and composing right, but he is not bragging about the ancient and modern, especially the ancient and modern history is very familiar, especially those tactics and battles are so rare.

"It's not that the prince doesn't know, but he's lazy." Zhe Ying laughed, "It is said that he and Zhao Cong were the same master who taught at the beginning. The very famous Master Chen is also the emperor's emperor's teacher."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, knowing that Master Bao respected this old man very much.

"It is said that every time Mr. Chen attends class, the prince will definitely disappear..." Zhe Ying laughed dryly, "He played truant to find someone to fight or drink."

"Ah..."

Zhao Pu, who had just arrived at the barracks, sneezed loudly as soon as he got off the carriage, and tens of thousands of people looked back at him in horror at the same time, as if——he had a cold!look.

Zhao Pu was so angry that he kicked the stake, "His grandma, who speaks ill of me?!"

Gongsun watched him vigilantly from behind, he shouldn't be drugged, right?Give him a careful inspection in a while!

The fourth son Lala Xiaoliang, "Little Liangzi, Daddy looks at Jiujiu as if he is staring at a precious medicinal plant!"

Xiao Liang was also a little weak. Zhao Pu had made Gongsun's hairs stand on end these days. He hadn't noticed Gongsun's "eager" eyes, and thought he had been bumped into by some ghost behind him.

Looking at the gray sky of the frontier fortress, Xiao Liang only hoped that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could quickly find the person who kidnapped Da Bing, resolve this conspiracy, and prevent Zhao Pu from having an accident.

……

"That Mr. Chen is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Zhe Ying continued with a smile, "One day he gave Zhao Cong a long essay and asked him to recite it. The essay has three paragraphs in total, and the master said that it is enough to memorize one paragraph every day. But Zhao Cong finished memorizing it after staying up all night. The next day, the master complained to the Eighth Prince, and Princess Chai arrested Zhao Pu who was about to sneak away at the door. Master Chen didn’t say anything about the text he assigned yesterday, but just said it was ten. It was arranged a few days ago, no matter how stupid you are, you should recite it."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing, "That master is bad enough, Zhao Pu can't recite it, isn't it embarrassing?"

"The key is that the prince never attends his class, so I don't know if there is such a thing. Princess Cheshire saw him crying, and thought that this time he would be able to control his wildness, so he stood aside and waited for a good show." Zhe Ying curled her lips, "Master Chen asked Zhao Cong to recite it first, and Zhao Cong recited all three paragraphs. It is said that Master Chen praised him at that time, saying that he is hardworking and hardworking, and if he continues to work hard, he will surely have a great career in the future. "

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raised their eyebrows. The evaluation was good. It is said that Mr. Chen is notoriously strict and rarely praises others.

"And then?" Bai Yutang was curious, "Did Zhao Pu make a fool of himself?"

"No." Zhe Ying shook his head, "He heard Zhao Cong recite it, and he memorized it, and he recited it exactly the same."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang opened their mouths wide, shook their heads, and looked like "I don't believe it!".

Ziying laughed dryly, "I didn't believe it at first! But Lord Cheshire said it himself, we asked the prince if there was such a thing, and he still remembers how to recite the article. It is said that he seemed anxious at the time, so he remembered it as soon as he heard it." Yes, and it is said very hatefully, whoever is in a hurry can recite it, and the rabbit bites when it is in a hurry."

Bai Yutang nodded very seriously, "I really deserve a beating."

Zhan Zhao pinched his arm with dissatisfaction, "People with a long-term memory are not qualified to say such things!"

"After the prince finished reciting it, it was said that Master Chen was stupid." Zhe Ying continued with a smile, "At that time, Master Chen told him that if the prince wins a game of chess, he doesn't have to come to class in the future."

Zhan Zhao felt a little boring when he heard it, "Don't ask, Zhao Pu definitely won the game. He has never lost a game of chess, right?"

Ziying shook her head, with a disgusted look on her face, "It's more irritating than that one!"

Bai Yutang held his wine glass and said sarcastic words, "It's really not easy for Zhao Pu to survive to this day."

Zhan Zhao took advantage of the situation and stepped on him again - you have no right to criticize others, and you are not much better!

Bai Yutang looked at the footprints on his snow-white boots, and looked at Zhan Zhao resentfully.

"My lord even made three matches with him." Zhe Ying also smiled helplessly, "It is said that Master Chen turned the table later, saying that the lord looked down on him and that he has never been insulted like this at this age, so he wants to hang himself."

"Heh..." Zhan Zhao grinned, "The old man is strong enough."

Bai Yutang scratched his head, remembering if there were some wives who seemed to say they wanted to commit suicide...

"How did you solve this matter later?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"It is said that Mr. Chen was ill with anger. He squatted at home and didn't go out. He even told Master Sima and the others that it's a good thing that this kid didn't become an emperor, so it's outrageous to be proud of his talent." Zhe Ying pouted, "But he changed his mind two days later, saying that the Great Song Dynasty is blessed. Now, this son is absolutely extraordinary and will be able to set the world in the future, making everyone think he is old-fashioned."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him together, "Don't be secretive!"

"My lord went to his house to plead guilty, and told Mr. Chen that if he didn't win chess, he didn't want not to come to class, because then Lord Cheshire and the Eighth King would be worried, and he should have lost on purpose, but he was always victorious since he was young, and he didn't like to lose the most, so let him The old man is more generous, don't be so stingy when he is old, at worst, buy him a drink."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were silent for a while, "It's a miracle that Master didn't die from anger."

"It is said that Mrs. Chen was overwhelmed with laughter and almost lost his breath. In the end, he introduced the prince to many great writers. Seeing that those writers were fond of wine, the prince made friends with them. In the end He went to Master Chen’s class every time, but he usually learned different content from Zhao Cong. Master Chen didn’t need him to memorize the texts, but only let him read books. They were all military books. If you don’t understand, you can ask. Look at these."

"What did Zhao Cong do?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked together.

"No performance." Ziying shook her head, "Still lukewarm, reading his books, but staying up every day and night, those books that the prince reads, he will read them, and he will read them even if he can't finish them."

Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao frowned. It's hard to say whether this is good or bad. It can also be said that this child has the ambition not to admit defeat, it's normal to not want to lose!

"He didn't do anything bad." Zhan Zhao asked, "Why do you doubt him?"

"It is said that Zhao Cong has changed since that day, and Mrs. Chen doesn't seem to like him too much. As for the reason, the strange old man didn't say anything." Zhe Ying frowned slightly, "Until the day Empress Liu gave him the name."

"At that time, everyone was worried, only Zhao Cong was very happy, because he also felt that he was an authentic royal family. When he returned home, he saw Zhao Pu was about to go out, so he asked him, what about the name 'Zhao Cong'?" Zhe Ying grinned. Grinning, "You also know that the prince is straight-tempered. He didn't hear which Cong it was at all. He thought it was Zhao Counselor, and said, 'How can I call Zhao Counselor, this name is too cowardly.'"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, Zhao Pu didn't deserve a beating when the child died!But this is also understandable, Zhao Congnian is really like Zhao Counseling, "Counseling" means that people are rustic and useless?Indeed, it cannot be called.

"That's a bit more straightforward." Zhan Zhao has known Zhao Pu for a long time, until he became heartless, "Don't worry too much about it. Doesn't Zhao Pu always make jokes about his name? What can I say? Spectrum? If you can’t follow the spectrum, you should be called Zhao Mopu, or something!”

"The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention! Many family members heard what he said that day. Some of them were bad, and they gossiped behind their backs, calling Zhao Cong to be Zhao's counselor."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Zhao Cong has an arrogant personality, it's normal to be angry, it's understandable, who can bear it."

"Yes." Zhan Zhao was also a little bit aggrieved, thinking that Zhao Cong was born special, and he must have suffered a lot of unfair treatment since he was a child. Most children want to be loved and loved. He tries hard to be better, even if he is jealous of Zhao Pu, there is nothing wrong with it. Those who made fun of him behind his back were wrong!

"Up to this point, we haven't said that he is wrong." Zhe Ying smiled, "We all said that the prince was short-hearted. Later, when the prince heard that someone called Zhao Cong Zhao Counsel, he turned his face and even did it. Hitting someone, I regret it so much. I apologized to Zhao Cong, but he just smiled and said that the prince thought too much..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, this... as a child, it's really deep, right?It's normal to lose your temper or simply turn against Zhao Pu.However, everyone has their own personalities. It is estimated that the Zhao family has a lot of minds, and Zhao Pu occasionally has a lot, such as during wars.

"It happened not long after this. After the plan was finalized, the Eighth King told Zhao Cong to Princess Chai, asking him to pretend to be dead and secretly send him to a relative's house." Zhe Ying's face darkened, "The plan is, It was faked that his original house was flooded. On that day, the house was filled with kerosene. The Eighth King also specially got a corpse with the same size as Zhao Cong and put it in the fire. This matter must be kept secret, only a few people I know, the prince is still young, and the eight princes sent away all the people who could be sent away that day, and the prince happened to drink with a group of friends, so he would not come back."

"But?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao also lowered their faces. Could it be...

"However, before the prince left, he ran into Zhao Cong, and Zhao Cong was complaining, saying that he was scolded by the eight kings, that he would be put in confinement and not allowed to eat for a day." Zhe Ying sneered, "The prince said at that time that he would take him out to hide for a day. It's spicy, but Zhao Cong said pitifully that he is not as favored as the prince, and he may be sent away in a few days, and he will never be able to stay by his mother's side again."

Bai Yutang frowned, "You've hit Zhao Pu's deathbed. This is the ultimate way to deal with him."

Zhan Zhao also sighed and nodded, "It's true that he takes soft things rather than hard things."

"The prince was absent-minded when he went out to drink that night. He even bought a bunch of food. He was going to go back to confinement with Zhao Cong. Although I don't know why Zhao Cong was sent away, it must have something to do with me. It's just halfway through drinking. Hearing the noise of people, it was said that the Eighth Prince’s Mansion was on fire. When the prince saw it, the flames had already shot up to the sky. The bad thing is that the Eighth Prince deliberately made people shout everywhere, saying that the little prince hadn’t come out yet, so... ..."

"Zhao Pu rushed into the fire to save people, right?" Zhan Zhao frowned, thinking about how dangerous he was when he was young.

"The most bizarre thing is that there is a tripping rope in the house. It is in the back room. The prince can't see clearly. When he was looking for Zhao Cong, he tripped over the rope and touched a mechanism. Many hidden weapons fell around. The door was blocked by a big log."

Zhan Zhao has stopped complaining about Zhao Cong. If it is really a trap set by him, it can only be said that he has a vicious heart at a young age. Viciousness and jealousy are two different things.

Bai Yutang didn't speak, just listened with a cup.

"My lord still found Zhao Cong's body, it was burnt at the time, he carried the body out, and wept loudly when he reached the door." Zhe Ying said helplessly, "Actually, Empress Liu didn't believe it at the time, so she was an eighth The prince was using tricks, but seeing the heartbroken reaction of the prince risking his life to save people, she believed it was true. The eighth prince and Princess Cheshire thought that the prince was buried in the sea of ​​fire, and were frightened. Seeing that he came out safely, I cried to the death for Zhao Cong, knowing that this child values ​​friendship, and thinking about my own difficulties, I also cried with him sadly. The family members thought Zhao Cong was dead, but thinking about how loyal the Eighth King Chai County was, it was hard for him to have a son He was so careful that he died like this, and he also cried, so there was a lot of crying. Liu Hou couldn't believe it, but in the end that kid Zhao Cong saved his life."

"Doesn't Zhao Pu know the truth?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Being straight doesn't mean he's stupid, so he can't guess that Zhao Cong intends to harm him?"

"Actually, the Eighth Prince immediately discovered that there was something strange in the scene of the fire. He knew his son Mo Ruofu, and he arrested Zhao Cong's bodyguards to torture him. Sure enough, Zhao Cong ordered them to do those tricks quietly. At that time, the Eighth Prince was so angry that After killing him, Princess Chai begged hard to save Zhao Cong. The eight kings were very guilty, and felt that the foster son was so shameless to face the sincere prince, so he never dared to tell him the truth. But after that, the prince was sad for a few days He didn't think about food and drink, as if he was going to be sick. Then one day, the emperor came suddenly, entered the room and whispered a few words to him, and the prince returned to normal."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rubbed their chins, "That is to say, what Empress Liu didn't see, Zhao Zhen, who was a child back then, saw, right?"

Both Ziying and Zheying nodded.

"After staying for less than half a month, the prince went back to the desert." Zhe Ying said, "Leaving a letter, saying that Kaifeng is too young, he will go back to the desert to see his mother, and then find an expert." Go learn kung fu, let Bawang and Master Chai take good care of him, don't worry about it, and when he grows up, he will come back to be loyal and filial, so Kaifeng has been peaceful since then."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, showing Zhao Pu's usual free and easy style.

"Although the matter has calmed down, the Eighth King has always been worried about it." Ziying said in a low voice, "When Zhao Cong grew up, he inherited the title and should have returned to the court as an official, but the Eighth King asked him for a job with little power. Although the emperor was very polite to him, he was obviously wary of him, so Zhao Cong was depressed. However, it is said that he has indeed improved a lot, and he is also a versatile man. Although he is not outstanding now, But Taishi Pang knows the open and secret struggles in the court best, so it must be reasonable for us to be careful about this person."
