The Ninth Prince choked angrily at Zhao Yao, and immediately glared at him fiercely, then turned his head and looked at Emperor Zhou Wu with bright eyes, "Father, I want to go to war like my brother." Although the Ninth Prince

He is a little smarter than Zhao Yao in reading, but he doesn't like reading either. "I want to be a great hero like my brother."

When the seventh prince heard what the ninth prince said, he immediately taunted him and said, "Ninth brother, do you think fighting is child's play? If you still want to be a hero, you will definitely turn into a bear when you go to the battlefield."

His words made the third prince, fifth prince, and sixth prince laugh involuntarily.

When the Ninth Prince saw the Seventh Prince insulting him like this, his little face turned red with anger. He glared at the Seventh Prince fiercely: "Zhao Jing, you are a bear. No, you are worse than a bear." As he said that, he raised his head.

His chin showed a proud look, "My brother is good at fighting. I am my brother's younger brother. I must be good at fighting, unlike you who can't even hit an arrow. Even that idiot Zhao Yao is better at archery than you.

You don’t feel embarrassed either. If I were you, I wouldn’t have the shame to come out and see people.”

On weekdays, in addition to studying in Wende Hall, the princes also go to the martial arts training ground to learn riding and archery. In terms of reading, the seventh prince is much smarter than the ninth prince, but in terms of riding and archery, the seventh prince is much worse than the ninth prince.

.

Every time he practices archery, the Seventh Prince rarely hits the target, and sometimes he misses the mark. The Ninth Prince, like his brother, is very good at mounted archery and can hit the target almost every time. The Ninth Prince often takes this matter seriously

Ridiculing the Seventh Prince.

Cavalry and archery is the only shortcoming of the seventh prince. Not to mention the ninth prince, even Zhao Yao is not as good as him. He is the worst in cavalry and archery among all the princes.

The Seventh Prince turned pale with anger at the Ninth Prince and retorted: "I don't want to go to the battlefield to fight."

"Zhao Jing, how can you have the nerve to say such things?" The Ninth Prince unabashedly despised the Seventh Prince, his tone full of sarcasm, "The world is not peaceful now, and there are rebels from the previous dynasty who are harming the people. As fathers and emperors, we

My son should share my father's worries and go to the battlefield to quell the rebels. But you say you won't go to the battlefield to fight. You really don't deserve to be my father's son!"

"you……"

The Seventh Prince was about to retaliate, but the Ninth Prince didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Father, I also want to quell the rebellion like my brother and share my father's worries."

"Xiaojiu said it well." Concubine Rong said with a smile on her face, "As the emperor's son, you should share the emperor's worries. This is the emperor's good son. However, it is true that the seventh prince is too timid to go to the battlefield.

But, Your Majesty, don’t blame the Seventh Prince."

Queen Xie frowned and said with a cold face: "Concubine Rong Gui..."

Concubine Rong interrupted Empress Xie's words, and with a smile, she picked up her wine glass and handed it to Emperor Wu of Zhou's mouth: "Your Majesty, I would like to offer you another glass of wine." She deliberately left the red lip marks on the glass from the drink she just drank.

Orally passed it to Emperor Wu of Zhou's mouth.

Emperor Zhou Wu lowered his head and smiled, opened his mouth to the rim of the cup with the red lip mark left by Concubine Rong, and drank the wine with her hand.

When Queen Xie saw this scene, she couldn't control her expression. A look of jealousy and anger appeared on her usually dignified and decent face.

Concubine Rong poured another glass of wine and drank it where Emperor Zhou Wu had just drank.

When Concubine De and the others saw this scene, their eyes showed deep jealousy and disdain.

Concubine Rong, this bitch, really seduces the emperor regardless of the occasion.

"Xiao Jiu, your idea of ​​going to the battlefield to quell the rebels like your brother is a good one. Mother and Concubine support you," before she could finish her words, she heard the Ninth Prince say excitedly, "Really, Mother and Concubine?"

"You are too young now. When you reach the age of twelve, I will allow you to enter the military camp."

The Ninth Prince was still a few years away from turning twelve, and he wished he could enter the military camp now, follow his brother, and fight with him.

"Okay, then I'll wait a few more years." He asked again, "Father, mother, concubine, when will my brother come back?"

Concubine Rong looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou and asked, "Your Majesty, when will King Dai come back?"

"The second child is already on his way back and will arrive in Beijing in half a month."

"Father, can I go out of the palace to meet my brother then?"

"Can."

"Thank you, father." After the ninth prince said this, he glanced at the seventh prince provocatively.

"Ah, my concubine deserves to die." Concubine Rong looked at Queen Xie apologetically, "Just now, my concubine accidentally interrupted the Queen. What did you want to say just now?" She said damn, but did not get up.

It means to apologize.

"you……"

When Empress Xie started to speak, she was interrupted by Concubine Rong again, "Your Majesty, what's going on over there in Yangzhou? I remember that the empress's brother put down the rebels in Yangzhou?" She added, "By the way, Concubine Liang's brother is here.

Jingzhou has suppressed the chaos and achieved a complete victory."

When mentioning the rebellion in Yangzhou and Jingzhou, Emperor Wu of Zhou's face instantly became a little ugly.

Queen Xie and Concubine Liang naturally noticed Emperor Zhou Wu's expression, and their hearts suddenly sank.

"I remember that Concubine Liang's sister's brother went to Jingzhou earlier than King Dai." Concubine De thought for a while and said, "It has been almost eight months. I haven't heard any news about the great victory in Jingzhou so far."

"There don't seem to be as many rebels in Jingzhou as there are in Liangzhou, and the war is not as serious as in Liangzhou." Concubine Shu continued what Concubine De said, "Now Liangzhou has achieved great victory, but there has been no good news in Jingzhou. Could it be that the war in Jingzhou is going on

More dangerous than Liangzhou?"

Among the three concubines, only the concubine Liang's natal family was from a family of military commanders and had military power.

Except for Concubine Rong, Concubine De and Concubine Shu have always considered Concubine Liang to be their biggest enemy. Once there is an opportunity, the two of them will unknowingly join forces to deal with Concubine Liang.

"Your Majesty, I remember that the situation in Yangzhou was not very serious at the beginning. Why hasn't the Queen's brother been able to put down the rebels in Yangzhou for more than half a year?" Concubine Rong Gui said with a look of surprise on her face, "Is it possible?

The war in Yangzhou is even more dangerous than that in Liangzhou, so the Queen’s brother has been unable to put down the rebels.”

Queen Xie scolded her brother in her heart, a waste.

A few months ago, rebellions from the previous dynasty appeared in Yangzhou and Liangzhou at the same time. However, due to the complex and steep terrain in Liangzhou, the war was more serious than in Yangzhou. At that time, Queen Xie's brother and the king took the initiative to ask Ying to quell the rebellion. Emperor Wu of Zhou

King Dai was sent to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, and Queen Xie's brother was sent to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion.

The war in Yangzhou was lighter than that in Liangzhou. It stands to reason that Queen Xie's brother should have taken the lead in quelling the rebels before King Dai, but now it was King Dai who took the lead in quelling the rebels in Liangzhou, while Queen Xie's brother has yet to do so.

Put down the rebellion in Yangzhou.

Queen Xie's brother is her biological brother from the same mother. This time the rebellion in Yangzhou was quelled, Queen Xie was full of expectations for her brother. As long as her brother succeeded in quelling the rebellion in Yangzhou, then her brother would not only be able to get some from the Xie family

Military power can also gain some say in the Xie family.

The Xie family basically supports the prince and does not support Empress Xie's son, the seventh prince. If Empress Xie and the seventh prince want to get that seat, they must get the support of the Xie family.

Queen Xie and her brother have been secretly winning over some family members, but these people do not have a high say in the Xie family. Queen Xie feels that if her brother can have a high say in the Xie family, then the people in the Xie family who support the seventh prince will be

It will become more.

She had a good plan, but it was a pity that her brother did not put down the Yangzhou rebels as beautifully as she thought.

"Your Majesty, please let King Dai return to Beijing later. Let him go to Yangzhou to quell the rebels first." Concubine Rong Gui suggested very thoughtfully.

To Queen Xie, these words were tantamount to insult.

"Concubine Rong does not need to worry about the war in Yangzhou. My younger brother will put down the rebels."

"Empress, as your elder sister, you naturally believe that your brother can quell the rebellion in Yangzhou. But judging from the current situation, it seems that your brother cannot quell the rebellion in Yangzhou. It is better to ask Dai Wang to help, so that Yangzhou can be ended as soon as possible.

If there is no rebellion, the emperor can feel at ease as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, my concubine..."

Emperor Wu of Zhou said: "I know it well."

The ambiguity of this sentence gave Queen Xie an ominous premonition. Did the emperor really want the king to go to Yangzhou to help quell the chaos?

If King Dai really goes to Yangzhou to help quell the chaos, it will not only embarrass Queen Xie, but also slap the Xie family hard in the face.
