Finally, Zhao Shu boasted about his achievements to his ancestors, but he asked someone to escort Li Liangzuo, Zhang Wei, Hu Qing and others to Taimiao. According to the initial etiquette, he wanted to cut off Li Liangzuo's head and put it on a plate as a sacrifice. However, this relatively barbaric etiquette had been abolished in a certain dynasty in the previous dynasty. Zhao Yan couldn't figure out which dynasty was, but now he has used bull's head to replace it.

Li Liangzuo and other prisoners of war were escorted after arriving in the Taimiao. After a while, Zhao Shu will announce the treatment of them. However, Zhao Yan estimated that Li Liangzuo would not die, but would be granted a nameless title and imprisoned in Tokyo for a lifetime. As for Zhang Wei and Hu Qing, they must all die, and the death penalty is divided into many kinds. With the crimes committed by traitors such as Zhang Wei and Hu Qing, they will probably be sentenced to several cruel death penalty.

The entire ceremony of offering prisoners in the Taimiao was very complicated. By the end, it was already dusk. Zhao Yan dragged his tired body and was about to leave the harem, but he was very sad to find that Huang Wude actually came to him with a wry smile and said, "Prince, I don't say it, you should be able to guess. Although I know that you are in a hurry to go home, since it's almost black, it's not a short time before. I guess the princess must have known that you wouldn't go back so early."

"Oh, stop talking. Let's go to see your father together. If the matter of brother is not explained clearly, I'm afraid that the father will not sleep well all day long." Zhao Yan sighed when he heard this. Zhao Shu, who was most worried about just now, would ask about Zhao Xu and Hua Zhi. In this case, he would definitely explain to Zhao Shu in the palace. This matter is very complicated. I'm afraid he will have to wait until midnight to go back. He originally thought that Zhao Shu was only concerned about the matter of offering prisoners to Taimiao today, but he did not expect that Huang Wude would come to him in the end.

Now Zhao Yan and Huang Wude come to Zhao Shu's Chuigong Hall together, which is very interesting to say. In addition to Zhao Shu's Chuigong Hall, Zhao Yan also visited the underground Chuigong Hall imitated by Xu De's grandfather and son, and there is also the Chuigong Hall in Xingqing Prefecture in Li Liangzuo. The three Chuigong Halls look similar in appearance. Unfortunately, one is tangible and has been demolished by Huang Wude. The other is where Li Liangzuo fled in a hurry, and many confidential memorials were not taken away.

"Yan'er, how is your elder brother doing? Did he agree to give up Hua Zhi?" As soon as Zhao Yan entered the hall, Zhao Shu immediately stepped forward with an anxious look on his face and asked. Although he was very happy that Xixia was destroyed, Zhao Xu's marriage was equally important in comparison. After all, this not only affects the stability of the Song Dynasty, but also cares about his son's marriage as a father.

"This..." Zhao Yan looked at Huang Wude next to him with some embarrassment when he heard this, but found that the other party was standing behind his head, and had no intention of interrupting. This made him quite helpless. In the end, he had to speak, "Father, there is good news and bad news about the big brother's affairs. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Good news!" Zhao Shu chose without hesitation.

"Brother agreed to give up the idea of ​​Nahuazhi as the Crown Princess!"

"Huh~. It's great!" Zhao Shu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

During this period, Zhao Shu was worried that Zhao Xu would be tough with him for the sake of Hua Zhi. At that time, he didn't know if he really wanted to abolish Zhao Xu's position as crown prince. Among the four sons, only Zhao Xu was the most suitable to serve as the crown prince in a country. As for Zhao Yan, although he was knowledgeable and talented, he did not have the demeanor and mind that the crown prince should have. Even Zhao Yan himself also thought so. Now that he heard that Zhao Xu gave up the idea of ​​making Hua Zhi the crown princess, Zhao Shu also felt that the big stone pressed on his chest had finally disappeared.

"Father, don't be too happy too early. Brother, I have put forward three conditions!" Zhao Yan said helplessly again at this time.

"Hmph, I have long expected that your elder brother would not be obedient!" Zhao Shu turned from joy to anger when he heard Zhao Yan's words, but he was not really angry, he was just pretending to be in front of Zhao Yan. Then he turned to Zhao Yan and asked again. "Tell me, just make any requests from your elder brother, just hope he doesn't make too much demand."

Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Zhao Yan hurriedly explained the three conditions of Zhao Xu. The first one was very simple, that is, Hua Zhi temporarily became a concubine around Zhao Xu, but after he ascended the throne, he would make the other party a concubine, and his status was only under the queen. Zhao Shu had guessed this condition long ago, so he did not show any special expression after hearing it.

However, when Zhao Yan talked about the second condition, that is, Zhao Xu had to personally select the Crown Princess, Zhao Shu's expression finally changed, and even a hint of anger emerged. The Crown Princess was related to the future stability of the Song Dynasty, and it was not possible for any woman to take responsibility. Therefore, Zhao Shu also made the main intention to inquire about this matter personally, but he did not expect that Zhao Xu would make such a request this time, which disrupted Zhao Shu's plan in an instant.

"Father, although the eldest brother asks to choose the Crown Princess himself, he must be within the scope of your demarcation of your father. Moreover, the eldest brother has always been steady, and the Crown Princess he chose should not be too bad." Seeing Zhao Shu angry, Zhao Yan hurriedly pleaded for Zhao Xu. He now felt that he was simply caught between the two ends and wanted to help them make peace with each other. He was unwilling to do such a thankless thing again no matter what.

After hearing Zhao Yan's explanation, Zhao Shu's anger finally resolved a little, and he spoke again: "I can agree to him for the second condition, so what is the third condition?"

"This..." Thinking of Zhao Xu's last condition, Zhao Yan couldn't help but hesitate, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your father, my brother's last condition is to wait until he has a child with Hua Zhi, and he wants to take me as his teacher, and he must be a personal disciple!"

"Bao! Bad son!" With Zhao Shu's cleverness, he could see Zhao Xu's intention at once. He wanted to pass on the Song Dynasty to Hua Zhi's son. Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty has always regarded himself as the orthodox Han people, but Hua Zhi is a Hu person. Her and Zhao Xu's son are naturally half of the Hu bloodline. Such a prince was not qualified to inherit the throne no matter what, but if he became a disciple of Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan's current influence would be enough to get Hua Zhi's son out of this adverse influence. Coupled with Zhao Xu's bias, it can be said that ascending to the throne is not difficult.

"Don't calm down, please listen to your words!" Zhao Yan hurriedly advised, and he did not finish some words.

"You say!" Zhao Shu was sitting on the chair angrily, his face was very ugly. Fortunately, Zhao Xu was not in front of him, otherwise he might be so angry that he would kick him up to relieve his hatred.

"Father, son minister thinks that the last condition raised by the elder brother is actually just a temporary jerk. After all, it is not easy for him to meet a woman he likes, but he cannot marry her. So he thought of compensating her from other aspects, but he never thought about the consequences of doing so. Maybe after many years, he will change his mind. In addition, if he really wants to pass the throne to him and Hua Zhi's son, he doesn't have to raise it now!" Zhao Yan said softly.

Zhao Shu finally calmed down when he heard Zhao Yan's words, especially the last meaning revealed in Zhao Yan's words. Now Zhao Xu is just the crown prince of a country and does not have much power. However, if he waits for him to ascend to the throne and asks Zhao Yan to take Hua Zhi's son as a disciple, Zhao Yan may not be able to refuse at that time, but Zhao Xu actually mentioned it now, which obviously does not conform to his always steady personality, so Zhao Yan's words that Zhao Xu was blocking his anger really make sense.

Seeing Zhao Shu silent, Zhao Yan smiled again and said, "Father, there are big loopholes in this request from the elder brother. He only said that I would accept his and Hua Zhi's son as disciples, but he did not say that I could not accept his other sons as disciples. So if it really doesn't work, I will come over and teach all my elder brother's sons in person. I think no one in the Song Dynasty is more suitable for their teacher than me!"

"Uh? This method is..." After hearing Zhao Yan's method, Zhao Shu also showed a strange expression on his face. He didn't expect that Zhao Yan would think of this method. Although he was a little rogue, it was very effective. However, at this time, Zhao Yan looked at Huang Wude and laughed at each other. This method was actually thought of by Huang Wude.

"Okay, I promise your elder brother these three things. Speaking of which, although Xixia was destroyed and Li Liangzuo was escorted to the capital, it will take some time to truly control Xixia. I am afraid that your elder brother will have to stay in Xixia for a few months. During this period, I and the queen will set up a few suitable women for your elder brother to choose after returning!" Zhao Shu finally nodded. After all, Zhao Xu is also his son, and he is also the crown prince of the Song Dynasty he has trained with all his strength, so sometimes he has to make some concessions.

"Father, wise!" Seeing that he finally convinced Zhao Shu, Zhao Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Crown Princess storm finally passed, and he no longer had to be stuck in the middle and could not be a human being.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Yan was anxious to go home. Unfortunately, after Zhao Shu asked about Zhao Xu, he began to ask about the situation in Xixia again. After all, Zhao Yan must know more and more detailed than those in the battle reports, and these were also what Zhao Shu was eager to know. Zhao Yan had to say so, so he had to choose some important things to tell Zhao Shu. Among them, Zhao Shu was most interested in the battle of airborne Xingqing Prefecture to seize the city gate. He asked about Zhao Yan many details, and even promised that after Hu Yanqing and others returned to Beijing, he would personally summon these meritorious people.
