"King Gucheng, there is no need to be polite. You have a deep relationship with your father and brother, and you have guarded the border for him for many years. You have made great achievements in battle, so there is no need to kneel down and worship me!"
Zhao Heng was already looking down on the junior Zhao Zhaowu, but now that he heard that he didn't have to kneel down, he immediately agreed without even a word of retort.
Zhao Zhaowu was not annoyed by such an arrogant posture and chuckled twice.
"Come here and give King Gucheng a seat!"
They are all members of the Zhao family. If it really comes to pass, he might even be called Uncle Gucheng King.
Among the vassal kings, King Gucheng currently has the largest number of troops. Now that he has just ascended the throne, all the vassal kings are eyeing him. They must not fall out with King Gucheng now. As long as he is stabilized, all the forces behind him will be stabilized.
.
"The emperor ascended the throne very quickly. We haven't received any news yet, and it's already over."
If it weren't for the epidemic at that time, and the news and people everywhere were not circulating, I'm afraid that for the throne, all the vassal princes would also have a share of the pie.
"The epidemic continues, and we are in urgent need of someone who can take charge of the overall situation. My father has passed away, and I can only shoulder the heavy responsibility!"
The conversation was filled with clouds, and both of them had their own thoughts.
Song Zeyi noticed something and laughed suddenly, "The emperor is always busy with everything. When he was in Shanxi City, he blocked hundreds of thousands of people with one blow and saved tens of thousands of lives. When he returned to the capital, he also controlled the epidemic in time.
, respected by the people! Such courage is the talent of an emperor that is rare throughout the ages!"
Zhao Heng's expression turned extremely ugly for a moment. He was not weak in military strength, but he didn't know what he would do if he really talked about this epidemic.
"Hmph," Song Zeyi chuckled, "King Gucheng, the Zhao family of the royal family is a member of the family, but we agree that we are from a clan, and we will be prosperous and suffer losses. I believe that King Gucheng must be the one who puts the interests of the family first.
, and he is also a person who takes the people of Limin at heart! He is also a smart person!"
Zhao Heng closed his eyes. He did not expect that the boy from the Song family would actually side with Zhao Zhaowu. He had countless elite soldiers, which was as scary as his father.
Earlier, when they served the late emperor together, he knew it well.
Huh, come to think of it, it was the Song family who helped Zhao Zhaowu to take the position.
Zhao Heng narrowed his eyes, and finally, the corner of his mouth curved into a meaningful smile.
"That's natural. What I usually admire the most are capable people. Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne and the world is at peace, I am naturally relieved. That's why I came to Beijing to pay my respects!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhaowu finally opened his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.
"It's great if King Gucheng can think so. In this way, I can be considered worthy of my father."
Song Zeyi also smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Zhao Heng has already made plans in his heart. His troops will never be able to defeat the soldiers and horses of the capital. So, it is better to guard what he has in his hands and be a good person honestly.
"The emperor has just ascended the throne, so the harem should be filled up. After all, heirs are the foundation of the country. There should be a man and a woman as soon as possible to stabilize the government!"
Zhao Zhaowu was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Zhao Heng would have such thoughts. He was really caught off guard.
He gently touched the handle of the dragon chair next to him with his slender hand, and the corners of his mouth were a little straightened, "Now that the epidemic has just improved, the people are suffering, and the country is rebuilding, I really don't have the heart to focus on these things.
Yes, but I still want to thank King Gucheng for his kindness."
King Gucheng was already used to hearing this rhetoric, and he didn't take it to heart at all, "Huh, I've heard it in the border areas. The emperor has a very amazing queen, and she was the one who solved the epidemic this time!
The old minister is very curious about this strange woman, and I want to take a look at her when I come this time!"
For a moment, the two people in the Tai Chi Hall were all stunned on the spot, and Song Zeyi's face turned dark.
Zhao Zhaowu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "She, she is feeling a little unwell, and it is not appropriate to see guests these days!"
After bombarding the emperor, Zhao Heng refused to let go of even Song Zeyi, "I came here this time and brought my daughter with me. She had heard the name of Song Chief Fu when she was at home, and now she still insists on making a fuss.
See you, Sir Song, please don’t be offended!"
"How could it be possible? The beloved daughter of King Gucheng is naturally a distinguished guest of someone from Song Dynasty!"
Several people were telling lies with their eyes open.
After going to court, Zhao Heng indeed brought her daughter over. It seems that he originally wanted her to be his concubine. After the emperor refused, he targeted him again. It was really ridiculous.
The girl's name is Zhao Ling. She is charming, has a flamboyant name, but has a gentle personality.
He walked to Song Zeyi in two or three steps, "Sir Song, I, I saw your portrait earlier, and I have heard a lot about your deeds. You are truly a hero!"
Song Zeyi had heard a lot of flattering words, and there was nothing new.
"I heard from my father that Mr. Song had married a wife earlier, but that woman was shallow-sighted and didn't pay attention to you at all. In the end, she ran away with another man. She was so rude, why should you, sir?
If you keep guarding your body for her, there are thousands of women in the world, how can you know that there is no woman better than her!"
Song Zeyi's face fell down moment by moment. He thought of Su Xiao's nonchalant look at home that day, the way she was trying to avoid Zi Tang that morning, and his heart was filled with discomfort.
It's just that he didn't know when such ridiculous rumors about things in his house actually spread.
"Sir, the jade tree stands in the wind, and countless women fall in love with it. You don't need to care about her. You are sad for her!"
With a thought swirling in his mind, Song Zeyi suddenly turned around and chuckled at the person behind him, "Miss Zhao is so kind, I wonder if she would like to visit the house!"
"I do!"
Over there, Su Xiao just came back from the street and dove into the bed.
"It's really frustrating. I shouldn't have gone back to my house first when I ran out that day. I should have caught that bastard Wang Yixiu right then and there!"
"Master, you have returned home, who is this?" There was a sudden noise outside, and Butler Li's voice was very clear.
"This is the daughter of King Gucheng, so you must not neglect her."
Su Xiao's ears suddenly became tense, she jumped down from the bed in a few steps, moved to the window, and stared at every move outside.
"This must be the housekeeper. Hello, I'm here to visit the house. I hope I won't trouble you."
Butler Li was also stunned for a moment. He was just a servant in the house, and for a rich man to say such words to him was really frightening and shocking.
