Chapter 257: Gather the Doors

The emperor was coming, Zhao Zongjing had to prepare in advance, and he said goodbye and went home to prepare... Before Zhao Zongjing left Beijing, he asked Zhao Zhen to give him a marriage and give Lan'er a title.

Zhao Zhen nodded, but when things came to an end, Zhao Zhen changed his mind again. He only restored the title of Prince Jiyin of Zhao Zongjing, and then issued another order to confer Lan'er as the princess. As for other matters, Zhao Zhen did not agree, which made Zhao Zongjing very depressed.

Zhao Yunbi could see clearly and pointed at Zhao Zongjing's forehead, "Silly boy, be more careful! The saint is protecting you!"

"Protect me?" Zhao Zongjing was puzzled.

Zhao Yunbi sighed, "If you insist on doing a grand ceremony, everyone will know that the ministers in the court, as well as the censors, can they tolerate you?"

Zhao Zongjing was still puzzled, "What does my marriage have to do with them!"

Zhao Yunbi was so angry that he walked around the ground for three or four times, but he didn't know what to say.

"You stupid boy, you don't know yet. During this period, many people have communicated with their father."

Zhao Zongjing said silly: "Dad, you are not bragging, why do I hear that many people are causing trouble for you?"

"Oh, why did I give birth to such a stupid thing for you?" Zhao Yunbi was so angry that he could only show off. "Silly, I said that, wasn't it to leave some room for maneuver? Just as you are back, I have made it clear to my father, someone wants to urge you to the East Palace!"

"What?"

Zhao Zongjing was so scared that he was three feet tall and screamed: "How could I seize the throne?"

"My little ancestor, can you just say a little bit more?"

Zhao Yunbi sighed. Zhao Zhen had no son for a long time, and all the officials turned out to be Zhao Zongshi's side.

They valued Zhao Zongshi three things. One is that they were adopted by Zhao Zhen in their early years and had feelings for each other. The other is that Zhao Yunrang, as the chief of the royal family, had extensive friendships and was powerful and unfathomable. The third is that Zhao Zongshi was humble, kind, polite, studious and kind, and respected civil officials very much.

With these three points, as long as Zhao Zhen doesn't give birth to a boss, Zhao Zong will actually succeed the Grand Principality.

But everything is exceptional. Since Zhao Yunrang refused to let his children go to Liao Kingdom last time, Zhao Zongjing suddenly emerged.

If the success of the mission to Liao Kingdom was just a lucky chance, then Zhao Zongjing ran to Lingnan again and personally led his troops into Jiaozhi and captured the capital.

Such achievements were considered dazzling during the period of Zhao Da and Zhao Er, and now it is even more mythical.

Many young and shallow-experienced officials who could not squeeze into Zhao Zongshi began to have different thoughts.

The descendants of the Zhao family are both qualified to inherit the throne. In comparison, although Zhao Zongjing has obvious shortcomings, his advantages are also outstanding and cannot be compared with any clan.

Especially after several confrontations, everyone also smelled the smell. Zhao Zhen seemed to dislike the Runan King's line.

Since that's the case, why don't you find a new master, waving flags and shouting, pushing them out, and following the chickens and dogs to heaven.

Of course, those who want to change their families and covet their favor are middle and lower-level officials, and those who are not favored by others, and those husbands will not accept Zhao Zongjing's.

But even so, Zhao Yunbi was eager to try it out.

"Zong Jing, you have come to this point, you might as well give it a try. The same blood is bleeding on your body. Why can't you fight? What do you think?"

Zhao Yunbi thought this guy could agree easily, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zongjing was in deep thought. He grabbed his thighs tightly, remained silent for a quarter of an hour, and then shook his head.

"You, what do you want?" Zhao Yunbi said angrily: "Boy, you are afraid of Runan Prince's Mansion, are you?"

"No!" Zhao Zongjing shook his head decisively, "I have seen thousands of troops from the Liao Kingdom and killed many people. I don't want to recognize another father!"

ah!

Zhao Yunbi suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning, opened his mouth wide, and stood up with a bitter smile for a while, touched his son's head hard, and said nothing, but just this intimate action could tell that Zhao Yunbi was really relieved.

Many people have gained reputation as a filial son these days, but not many people have truly engraved these two words in their hearts.

If you want to fight for the throne, you have to adopt Zhao Zhen. A man in his twenties called his father, who had been called for decades, suddenly became an uncle, but instead wanted to call him another father!

Zhao Zongjing was unwilling to accept it no matter what, and it was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Until this moment, Zhao Yunbi finally realized that the brat who was so angry that he had the deepest feelings for him! He also understood the love between his son and Lan'er. Suddenly, Zhao Yunbi felt very happy.

...

The father-son gap was broken, and Zhao Yunbi was more attentive to his son's affairs than anything else. He heard that Zhao Zhen came to visit him, and he was busy and brought his family out to greet him in person.

Zhao Zhen was very polite and smiled, "It's all my family, so there's no need to be polite. It's a cold day, hurry up and go in."

When they arrived at the hall of the palace, after sitting down, a young woman walked up with a child in her arms and bowed to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen looked at Lan'er carefully and thought he would be a rare monster, so he made Zhao Zongjing fascinated. But after looking closely, it was not. Lan'er was just a more attractive, elegant dress, and didn't use so much gouache, which looked very comfortable.

Zhao Zhen nodded secretly, Zong Jing is lucky!

After taking a few glances, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Come on, show me the child."

"Yes!" Lan'er nodded, walked gently to Zhao Zhen, and sent the child over.

The little guy just woke up shortly after he was full of energy. When he saw an old man with kind eyebrows, he was not afraid. Instead, he laughed, stretched out his little hand to grab Zhao Zhen's beard, and regarded the dignified "dragon beard" as a toy.

Zhao Yunbi and his family were worried, afraid that the emperor would be angry, but Zhao Zhen saw the fat boy and was left with only joy.

"Okay, what a good child, Zong Jing, you are so lucky to be your wife and son now!"

Zhao Zongjing grinned and smiled foolishly. Zhao Zhen thought, "Let's do this, this child is the Yongzhou Tuanshi. It's your father who earned it."

In a word, the little guy who can't speak became a troupe envoy. Of course, he was not asked to lead troops, but just an empty rank for salary. However, Zhao Yunbi, who was sophisticated, was secretly surprised because Zhao Zongshi was the troupe envoy at Yuezhou, just like his grandson.

Even if the son doesn’t want to fight or he doesn’t want to fight, can he let them go?

...

While speaking, Zhao Zhen was tired of holding him. Zhao Zongjing was smart at this time and smiled and said, "Erlang, let's go through life and death, brothers, let's see your nephew!"

Wang Ning'an also likes children very much, so he smiled and took the children from Zhao Zhen.

"Erlang, Your Majesty has given you a gift to meet. You can't be empty-handed, right?"

Wang Ning'an was stunned for a moment, you are cruel!

Just like me, I'm so mean, afraid of losing a loss?

Wang Ning'an was full of anger, but he didn't bring it out on his face. Instead, he smiled and took out a big golden lock from his arms and gave it to the little guy.

"How is it, isn't it fun?"

Zhao Zongjing smiled proudly, it was almost the same.

The little guy also likes it very much, so he opens his mouth and bites it, with cute bubbles around his mouth. Wang Ning'an also feels full of heart. It's so magical. How can such a little thing grow into a big and thick man?

It seemed that it was time for him to experiment. Wang Ning'an unconsciously raised his lips and smiled. Suddenly, he felt that the place where he came into contact with the little thing became hot. The next second, Wang Ning'an's face immediately collapsed.

"The child is peeing!"

Lan'er hurriedly ran over with guilt on her face and quickly took the child away.

Zhao Zongjing was heartless and laughed, "You give my son a golden lock, and my son returns you a boy's urine. You have to pay both money and goods, don't owe it, don't owe it!"

Wang Ning'an swore that if there wasn't an emperor by his side, he would have to press Zhao Zongjing to the ground and beat him up.

...

The child went down, and Zhao Yunbi bowed and said, "It's almost noon, let's have some food here!"

Zhao Zhen smiled, "Okay, I'm really a little hungry."

The kitchen was preparing for imperial meals. Zhao Zhen pulled Zhao Yunbi down, Wang Ning'an and Zhao Zongjing accompanied him, taking advantage of the time of serving the dishes. Zhao Zhen said, "Wang Qing, Zongjing, you are familiar with the situation in Lingnan. The money shortage in the Song Dynasty depends entirely on the copper mines in Jiaozhi and Dali. Do you have any specific ideas?"

When asked about the serious matter, Zhao Zongjing became a pouting gourd again and had to rely on Wang Ning'an.

"Your Majesty, I have calculated that it is not cost-effective to transport copper mines from Dali and Jiaozhi. It is better to set up a smelting workshop on Guangnan East and West Road, process the copper mines into copper ingots, and then send them to the northern bank to process them into copper coins, which is convenient and labor-saving. In addition, after the increase in trade between the Song Dynasty and the South China countries, the shipping was prosperous. I thought that more large ships should be built, more shipyards, civilian merchant ships, and military warships should be built."

Zhao Zongjing was finally able to get in the conversation, "Your Majesty, you don't know how difficult it is for our fishermen to be at sea! Jiaozhi actually sent domestic navy to kill our fishermen. As I saw with my own eyes, they were just a group of robbers and beasts!"

Zhao Zhen said curiously: "Zong Jing, what you said is true? Then why didn't I hear the report?"

Zhao Yunbi smiled bitterly and said, "Sage, I am so proud of my words. The waves on the sea are surging. I don't know how to die. Those officials are not as good as less than more, and those who are less than less are nothing. If you can suppress them, you will hide them. It's just a pain for the people."

Zhao Zhen was in a much lower mood. He asked himself, "I can do my best to do my best if I have a night of clothes and food, but the people in the world are not well managed. In the past, disasters have occurred, and Zhao Zhen also acknowledged it."

But now it seems that local officials have been hiding too many things from themselves, and the people’s grievances have lasted for a day or two. No wonder they encountered the rebellion of Nong Zhigao and were about to collapse.

It's really going to change the course!

Zhao Zhen thought secretly and said, "Wang Qing, the court is in financial difficulties. We want to build a workshop and shipyard in Lingnan. You can come up with a strategy and implement it as soon as possible."

Wang Ning'an quickly said that he obeyed the order. After a meal, Zhao Zhen returned to the palace. Wang Ning'an originally wanted to go to the inn, but he got engaged with the Yang family. Mu Guiying had already sent someone to take the new son-in-law to live in the Yang family.

In order to make Wang Ning feel at ease, he poured out a yard for him. Just as Yang Huaiyu was about to rest, he personally received it. Yang Huaiyu asked about many wars in Lingnan, and Wang Ning'an answered them one by one.

Seeing that it was evening, the Yang family prepared a banquet to entertain Wang Ning'an.

At this moment, the Yang family suddenly became lively, and Cao Qi came first, and the uncle of the country has always been the most well-informed.

"Erlang, I heard that I have a way to make a fortune again. How about it, can you get involved with me?"
