[mouse cat] special way

It was already late at night, and Zhao Zhen was lying on the spacious bed in the bedroom, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

In the end, he still didn't tell Queen Mother Li about Chunni's affairs. One more thing is worse than one less thing.On the matter of the Li family, he had already been disturbed by the silent begging of the Empress Dowager Li.

Li Yiyi is very kind and innocent.

There is nothing wrong with kindness and innocence, but kindness without a bottom line is to fulfill the sins of others, and excessive innocence is also a kind of childishness.These are things she shouldn't have as a queen mother.Fortunately, she also understands the patriarchal law of "no politics in the harem", so she won't make some stupid moves, which makes Zhao Zhen heave a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, Zhao Zhen really didn't understand why the first emperor married such a person as his concubine.What made him even more puzzled was that a person like Queen Mother Li could survive in the palace of intrigues?After so many years, she still retains this kind of innocence and kindness that does not match her age and experience.

However, Li Yiyi is her own biological mother in name after all, so Zhao Zhen can only promise her to punish the culprit only and spare the rest of the Li family.Then, the Queen Cao was left to serve, and she avoided the Hall of Cishou far away.

Empress Cao is a well-educated and virtuous housemate who is skilled in handling the affairs of the harem.Zhao Zhen looked on coldly, and the women of the general family were indeed different. They were filial to the elders and loving to the younger. The concubines in the harem also took good care of them.With her around, Zhao Zhen never worried about problems in the harem.

Such a woman, who is gentle, honest, virtuous, wise, and trustworthy, is admirable, but she cannot be pitied like a weak woman.

But one thing is certain, if one day, the emperor can no longer perform his duties, a woman like Empress Cao can be like his adoptive mother, Empress Dowager Liu, to support the king and support half of the Song Dynasty.

In contrast, his first wife, Guo Shi, was as naive as Queen Mother Li.However, Mrs. Guo became more obsessed.The heart of an emperor cannot be tied to one person, and what Zhao Zhen thinks and thinks cannot be limited to the love of his children.

It's not that he is ruthless, but that he can't afford it.

What Zhao Zhen can give is love and favor, and what Zhao Zhen can accept is mutual affection, but he can't give the fierce affection like a vow of Haimeng Mountain. Guo's fault is that he takes her love too seriously and fascinates himself too much. The eyes also consumed the flowery life...

The thoughts these days have been too chaotic, Zhao Zhen pushed aside the thin quilt and got out of bed irritably, walked to the window, looked up at a crescent moon about to fall to the west, and twinkling stars gradually appeared in the ink-like sky.

Zhao Zhen sighed softly, his favorite Concubine Zhang Gui was already more than nine months pregnant, if the imperial doctor's calculations were accurate, the day of giving birth would be ten days later.This is not the first time he has become a father, and two concubines gave birth to princes and daughters before.Unfortunately, those children died not long after they were born.This time, Concubine Zhang was pregnant with his child, and under the careful care of the empress, the mother and child were healthy, and the man became more beautiful and radiant.

I hope this is a boy, and I hope he can grow up safely...

He is about to reach his thirties, but the relationship between children and heirs is weak, Zhao Zhen lowered his head and thought, maybe he should go to the temple to pray for the safety of Long Er who is about to be born.

By the way... By the way, I will also visit the queen mother and that person... He really, really misses them...

With the help of Ma Han and others, Zhan Zhao finally escaped from Mr. Gongsun and Bai Yutang's "horrific" treatment, slipped to the street to evacuate the shins, and also patrolled the street.

"Brother Long, do you think Mr. Gongsun will let us go?" Zhao Hu held a plate of fruit in his hand and stretched it out in front of Zhang Long, "Not to mention, Bai Yutang's taste is really good, try it..."

"It's okay, Mr. Gongsun has an adult on his side..." Zhang Long grinned, picked a piece of fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to look down at the document.

"That's right." Zhao Hu shrugged, "Just right, my lord hasn't practiced the Wu Qinxi for a long time..." Anyway, Mr. Gongsun would think that he allowed it if he told his lord.They are doing good deeds, Brother Zhan is so pitiful...

Jiang Ping, passing by the door, covered his mouth with a feather fan, and left on tiptoe. He didn't laugh until he reached a place where there was no one there.Who said that people in Kaifeng Mansion are honest and honest?The only cat here is pretty good, and those few in the room, even Mr. Bao "schemed" on it, hahahahaha, he really laughed to death!

Outside the Kaifeng mansion, Wang Chao Mahan, one behind the other, closely followed Mr. Mao who came out to let the wind go.

"Hey, Mr. Zhan, let's make an agreement, just walk along the Bian River for a while, and go back in half an hour." Wang Chao walked back and smiled, "Don't patrol the streets for a few hours..."

Only half an hour?Doesn't it mean that if you can't go far, you have to turn back?Zhan Zhao nodded helplessly, okay, half an hour is half an hour, it's better than staying at home.Well, in fact, half an hour can go a long way...

Ma Han next to him folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, adding lightly: "It takes half an hour to go and go back." When he didn't know the little Jiujiu in that person's heart...

"Don't be like this, two big brothers." Zhan Zhao raised his head depressedly, and counted the little birds taking a nap on the roof of the Yuelou Tower, "It's so easy to come out, you can't let me just eat and not work Bar……"

"You've finished your work ahead of time, and now you're just making up for the vacation you owe." Wang Chao hooked his lips, "Xiao Zhan, it's not me who is the big brother who says you, your body is your capital, you can only do it after you have recuperated." Continue to help your lord." Not only Mr. Gongsun, they also feel distressed when they see Zhan Zhao's constant injuries, but this person's calamity constitution is not consciously aware of it, and he rushes to the forefront of everything.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Wang Chao angrily: "I'll get better sooner if I come out more, Brother Wang."

"Be content, don't even think about it, Mr. Gongsun will help you out when we are not here, how long will he talk about when we go back later." Ma Han looked at the sullen man with a half-smile, "Let's go this way, otherwise We are about to meet Bai Yutang."

"Okay, I just need to listen to the two elder brothers." Alas, there are more and more people who control me...

Zhan Zhao sighed, and walked slowly along the Bian River silently. Wang Chao and Ma Han looked at each other with a smile, and followed behind silently.

In the beginning of summer, everything is luxuriant, and the willow trees on both sides of the river have turned from tender green to verdant.When the breeze blows, the smooth branches sway gently, making a slight rustling sound, like a girl's murmur.

It was still early, and the road was empty, except for the three of them.A plain carriage came rattling slowly from behind, Zhan Zhao and the others gave way to the willow tree so that the carriage could pass.Unexpectedly, the car actually stopped beside them. With one hand, he lifted the curtain on the window, and Zhao Zhen's round smiling face appeared.

"Guard Zhan?" Zhao Zhen blinked his eyes, a little curious, "You guys came out to patrol the streets so early?" He waved his hand, indicating that the three of them don't need to salute.

"Uh...Emperor...Young Master..." Zhan Zhao was quite surprised to see this young emperor who was supposed to stay in the palace appear here.He glanced left and right, didn't see the accompanying guards, and didn't feel the aura of the other shadow guards around Zhao Zhen, so he couldn't help frowning.

"Guard Zhan, would you like to get in the car and chat with me?" Zhao Zhen suggested with a smile. He came out to meet Zhao Jue in a low suit this time, so he couldn't bring many people with him. It's used"...

"Then respect is worse than obedience." Zhan Zhao nodded, turned his face to wink with the other two, lifted his robe and got into the car.

Chao Mahan watched the carriage go away, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.The plan really couldn’t keep up with the changes. Originally, I wanted to hide Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce and take Zhan Zhao out to get some air. I just wanted to go back before they found out. I don't know how long Zhan Zhao will be delayed... It seems that they can't escape Mr. Gongsun's nagging...

Inside the carriage, Chen Lin poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao took it with a smile and drank a couple of sips.

"Your Majesty, why did you appear here? I don't want to bring more people..." Zhan Zhao asked with a frown. Except for Ying Shiwu, the coachman, there were no other guards around Zhao Zhen.

"I have something private to do, so of course I can't let others know. With Bao Qing and the Kaifeng Mansion here, are you still worried about the security of Bianliang?" Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea and smiled slightly, "By the way, How is your injury?"

"It's ready, thank you for your majesty's concern." Zhan Zhao nodded his head in thanks, it is easy to hide a spear in the open but hard to defend against it, he doesn't want Master Bao to be reprimanded by the Eighth Prince again.

"Where are you going, Your Majesty?" Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked out the window, it seemed to be... the direction of Xiangguo Temple.

Zhao Zhen put down his teacup, lowered his eyes, and looked very preoccupied: "I plan to go to Xiangguo Temple to visit my mother and uncle, and also pray for Concubine Zhang's safety."

"Uncle? Are you talking about... the Prince of Xiangyang?" Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, "But, the Prince is not in Xiangguo Temple." Unless it is the day of the market, Xiangguo Temple has always kept no foreigners, even the relatives of the emperor. .How could Zhao Jue be there?On the contrary, elder brother Ouyang actually wants to become a monk to worship the abbot as his teacher and learn about Buddhism... But this is also expected.

Hearing these words, Zhao Zhen trembled slightly, and Chen Lin next to her saw this and hurriedly placed a stack of fruits: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhan, please have some snacks."

"Isn't he in the temple..." Zhao Zhen looked sad, the man used to visit him in the palace when he returned to Beijing, and even if he didn't go to the palace, he would still be at the Xiangguo Temple.He would never go to other places because he was worried that he would not be able to find him... Could it be that what Uncle Huang said was true, that he really left?

"Yes, but Zhan Zhao heard from the brothers patrolling the streets that the prince is now living in Deyue Tower." Sensing Zhao Zhen's inexplicable loss, Zhan Zhao comforted him gently, "Does Your Majesty want to go to Deyue Tower?" If Deyuelou...don't meet Bai Yutang...

"Deyue Tower?" Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, and then he remembered that it was Shao'an's property, so he shook his head, "Forget it, let's talk about it later. I'd better visit my mother first." If it wasn't for Lingling, he Shao An is absolutely going to be hacked into pieces.Now, out of sight, out of mind, and a detour will delay the time to return to the palace.

"Then let Zhan Zhao send His Majesty on a ride." Zhan Zhao said with a smile, that's fine, and he was relieved.

"Yeah." Zhao Zhen picked a soup ball listlessly and threw it into his mouth, "Guard Zhan, it's been hard for you to go to Jiangning to handle the case this time, tell me about the things over there." In fact, he wanted to hear more from Zhao Jue It's a pity that that person avoided seeing him, and the eight sage kings... the eight sage kings would not talk to themselves about things other than official duties...

"Yes." Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that the young emperor in front of him was covered with a trace of sadness, unwilling to go against his wishes, so he slowly told him about Jiang Ning.However, he still believed that the imperial court should not be used against the Bai family. He simply mentioned that the scroll of fire was collected by the Bai family, and did not say that Bai Jintang sealed that weird thing with his life.

"Oh, I can understand Uncle's disappointment." When Zhao Zhen heard that Bai Yutang was not Bao'er, he was greatly relieved, and then became sad for Zhao Jue, "I am sorry for Aunt Lan. It's just that after this misunderstanding and so many years later, I don't know if uncle can still find Bao'er..."

"Such a coincidence is God's will." Chen Lin said with a smile when she saw the two were depressed, "However, I believe that the prince will be able to reunite with the prince in the end."

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, Zhao Jue had already lost too much for Da Song, God wouldn't be so cruel...

"It's just that the clue is lost again now, and the prince may have to find it from the beginning." Chen Lin said regretfully, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

It would be great if there are other clues, otherwise the world is so big and time has passed so long, where can people find it?Zhao Zhen sighed secretly in his heart, unable to tell whether he was happy or regretful.If Bao'er can't be found all the time, uncle...could it be his own... No, no, how could he think so? !Zhao Zhen shook his head, throwing this selfish thought out of his head. Now that his uncle has deliberately avoided him, it can be seen that he will not return to the palace without his younger brother. He should think about how to help...

The car stopped slowly.Zhan Zhao glanced outside, then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, Xiangguo Temple has arrived."

"Oh." Zhao Zhen got out of the car in a daze, looked up, and found that it was the Baozhu Temple where the queen mother lived.It turned out that after Chen Lin heard that the King of Xiangyang was not in Xiangguo Temple, Zhao Zhen was touched by the scene, so she quietly mentioned Ying Shiwu, and drove directly to Baozhu Temple, which is across the street from Xiangguo Temple.

It's a pity that Zhao Zhen didn't see Liu E this time either.

Master Jing'an retreated after learning that Zhao Ling was fine, and no one was seen.Zhao Zhen was blocked by the host at the door of Jing'an Xiaozhu, helpless like a child abandoned by his parents.

You...all...don't want me...

Zhao Zhen raised his head and blinked his eyes vigorously. Although he knew that his mother would be so strict with him, he was still very sad...

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's go back..." Zhan Zhao stepped forward to support Zhao Zhen's slightly swaying body, and said in a low voice, "It's not too late to come back after the master leaves the seclusion..." Since he was 16 Ever since he met this person at the age of [-], he had never felt such a strong sadness from him.This person is the generous and benevolent emperor of the Song Dynasty, but he may not have the joy and happiness that ordinary people can have.

"Forget it, the host will take good care of my mother for me." Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said to the host, "By the way, I also want to ask for a peace talisman for Long Er who is about to be born..."

"This teacher is too predictable. I have already told the poor nun to prepare it, and I am about to send it to the palace for His Majesty." The teacher told the disciples beside him to bring a lacquer plate covered with light yellow satin. , and a small long-lived lock, which Liu E presumably ordered.Before Zhao Zhen could speak, Chen Lin stepped forward to take the plate and bowed down.

"It's inconvenient to receive men in the place where the master is pure and pure, please return to the palace, Your Majesty." The teacher bowed his head and began to chase away people.

"If you don't see it, don't see it... As a son, you can't go against your mother's wish..." Zhao Zhen muttered to himself, turned around and left while holding Zhan Zhao's hand.

Back in the palace, Zhao Zhen asked Chen Lin to send the peace talisman to Concubine Zhang, and reviewed the memorial alone in the imperial study.This is the growth of an emperor, it is really helpless...

Zhao Zhen threw away the letter of credence that the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom asked for the portrait for the third time, feeling a little annoyed, what did he ask for the portrait, did he want to send someone to assassinate me?Impatiently, he threw the scroll that came with the letter of credence on the ground, and the little eunuch picked it up and sent it to the warehouse. Yelu Zong really is doing this, Yelu Longxu would have such an idle son!I can't imagine that these two are father and son...

father and son... father and son...

There must always be some similarities between father and son. Zhao Zhen bit the pen holder. Although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that he was very similar to the Eight Sage Kings in some aspects...

I don't know, what about my uncle's son... Can I really find him?Even the jade pendant for identification is lost, can there be other traces?

Contradictory...
