The vermilion gate opened south, and the noble man's house was carved with beams and painted roofs. There were locust trees in front and willows behind. There were naturally no need to farm... This was the house of Zhao Weineng, the prince of Nankang. Later it was passed on to Zhao Conggu, Duke of Chu. Not long ago, Zhao Conggu also passed on to Zhao Conggu's death, and the owner of the house became Zhao Conggu's eldest son, Zhao Shimai.

The little prince, covered in mourning clothes, was slowly walking in the back garden, planted with camellias and pomegranate trees, all left by his grandfather and father. Seeing the flowers blooming and the beauty of the flowers, Zhao Shimai was not happy at all, but was left with endless sadness.

Behind Zhao Shimai is a fat monk, none other than the monk Foyin, the host of Daxiangguo Temple.

"Young Master, the death is gone, so don't worry too much. You must cheer up and support the store."

Zhao Shimai smiled desolately, "Master Foyin, do you think I still have a chance?"

"This... the young master is the legitimate grandson of the Taizu and the noble emperor, why would he not have a chance?"

"Hahaha...Master Foyin, you are really good at telling jokes. Don't you know the royal family regulations?"

His question made Foyin speechless.

Because according to the royal family regulations that were promulgated at the same time, the royal family members needed to demote and divide the feudal.

Taking Zhao Shimai as an example, his ancestor was the legendary Eight King Zhao Defang.

Of course, in the official history, Zhao Defang did not have the supreme authority to beat the foolish monarch and the treacherous ministers. He died early, and he died in a mess, and he had no connection with Zhao Er.

In fact, the descendants of the Taizu family were always suppressed, and the situation was very difficult and their lives were not good. These things are well known. After all, Zhao Erde's country was not upright and he had to suppress his brother's descendants, for fear that the Taizu family would take power and then liquidate Zhao Er's descendants.

"We have already admitted defeat and pretended to be grandson. Why are they still unwilling to give in? They don't even give up on their way?"

Zhao Shimai suddenly became very sad and angry.

Before the royal family regulations, although they were quite popular, they were still nobles and could enjoy good treatment.

However, the royal family regulations were announced that Zhao Weineng was the prince, and his son Zhao Conggu was demoted to Duke of the Kingdom. After Zhao Conggu died, his descendants could not even be a Duke of the Kingdom.

Become an ordinary person!

In fact, news has been heard from Zongzheng Temple that three months later, they will take back their mansions. From then on, Zhao Defang and his descendants have become ordinary people. Although they have names in the royal family's yellow book, they are no different from ordinary people in other aspects and can freely engage in any industry, but at the same time, they have also lost the qualification to inherit the throne!

It's funny to say.

The original rule of the royal family was formulated to reduce the burden on the court and reduce the number of royal family members. From top to bottom, they were all regarded as moral policies.

Including several sons of Prince Zhao Yunbi of Beihai, they also took the initiative to participate in the imperial examination. Anyway, the throne has nothing to do with them, so it would be better to earn a meal based on their own abilities, which would be glorious and decent.

But who would have thought that as descendants of Zhao Da, whether it was Zhao Conggu or Zhao Shimai, they had a dream in their hearts, that was, to take back the throne!

After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, his suppression of Taizu's line had been much relaxed.

Especially 20 years ago, Zhao Conggu was appointed as Tongzhi Zongzheng Temple and became Zhao Yunrang's deputy, and Zhao Da's descendants were finally able to straighten their chests.

In addition, Zhao Zhen had no son and needed to adopt an adopter from the royal family... In addition to Zhao Zongshi, who was the most popular, some people also proposed to return the Taizu family... This voice was not loud, but for Zhao Conggu and his descendants, it was definitely a lamp in the darkness, a hope, and a little hope... When Zhao Er plotted against his brother, snatched the throne, and let several nephews die inexplicably, Zhao Da’s descendants remembered it!

The more you can't get it, the more you desire it.

Zhao Zongjing’s brothers can’t care about the throne, but Zhao Conggu’s descendants are not good!

What's the result!

A royal family regulations come down.

Submit and remove the household registration.

From then on, they were no longer qualified to look forward to the throne and could only be like ordinary people.

In the past, I thought Zhao Zhen was a generous emperor.

Now it seems like a big deal!

He is more insidious than Zhao Er and Zhao Heng. He changed the royal family under the banner of reform and reform, completely cutting off the hope of Taizu's regaining the throne. It's really a trick to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot. This trick is too vicious!

"From our generation, the descendants of Taizu will become ordinary people, and the throne will always remain in the Taizong family...Master Foyin, you and my father are good friends, you, do you think, can we bear it?" Zhao Shimai said in grief and anger!

Foyin sighed, "My uncle, I am brave enough to say something. Today's officials are determined to reform and reform the royal family, which is also one of the entire reforms. Moreover, in the court, wise ministers gather, civil and military talents are abundant, and the general trend is like this. My husband, the manpower is limited after all... I know that Taizong was not glorious in his work back then, and you all have hatred in your heart, but decades have passed, and it has been several generations. If you are still worried, you will not help but harm yourself."

Foyin said again: "Zhao Yunrang is a descendant of Taizong and the emperor's brother of the official family. He just covets something that should not belong to him. As a result, his family was destroyed and his descendants were all killed, and there was no one to burn paper in the grave. It is true that the young master, I am good friends with Ling Zun. It is precisely because of this that I dared to persuade him, "Young master, what I have learned from before!"

...

Zhao Shimai suddenly laughed strangely, "Master Foyin, it's not easy to stop! The northwest has already moved. As long as it can succeed, there will be a conflict between Zhao Zhen and Wang Ning'an!"

Zhao Shimai suddenly became very excited and even a little crazy.

"Master Foyin, as long as Zhao Zhen and Wang Ning'an conflict, the prince's position will not be stable when fighting between their monarch and ministers. Moreover, the Prince of Beihai was very close to Wang Ning'an, and Zhao Zongjing would also turn in... As long as they were all finished, the throne would be ours! No one could take it away!"

"Master Foyin, look at it. As long as Eunuch Tan and General Gao take Lingzhou, they can divide the military power with Wang Ning'an. At that time, Eunuch Chen and Eunuch Shen will keep making suggestions. Your Majesty is old and suspicious, and will attack Wang Ning'an... I know Zhao Guangyi's descendants too well. They are all Zhao Guangyi's virtues, hypocrisy, shameless, despicable, cruel, and selfish. Look at it, Zhao Zhen is no exception. The transfer order of the Political Affairs Hall was instructed by him, and he doesn't trust Wang Ning'an at all! I really want to take a good look at how wonderful this battle between the king and the ministers will be! Mr. Wang, you are the number one hero in the Song Dynasty in the past twenty years. Don't lose easily, otherwise I will look down on you!"

Faced with Zhao Shimai's madness, Fo Yin suddenly felt lost and felt that his eyes had seen the wrong person!

When Foyin was young, he read the handwriting left by his ancestor Chen Tuan.

The ancestor Chen Tuan played chess with Zhao Kuangyin, and won Huashan, and Zhao won the whole world.

Later, Chen Tuan entered the capital and met Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

At that time, Chen Tuan was already over 110 years old. After saying goodbye to Zhao Guangyi, he deduced the theory of Yi, but found that the throne would be returned to the hands of Taizu in the future, but I don’t know when it was.

Chen Tuan wrote this matter into his handwriting. No one else knew about his lineage except his direct disciples.

Foyin is considered to be Chen Tuan's disciple. He had seen the handwriting of the ancestor, so he remembered it firmly and believed it without doubt. After he entered the capital, he found that among the descendants of Taizu, only the Duke of Chu, Zhao Cong, was the most famous and capable, and was also a sergeant, and treated others with a humble and kindness.

Foyin then found a way to make friends with Zhao Conggu.

Speaking of which, Foyin has helped Zhao Conggu.

It must have been before the birth of the young prince, Foyin encouraged Zhao Zongjing to seize the throne. He was not hoping that Zhao Zongjing would ascend the throne, but wanted Zhao Zongjing to muddle the water and create a chance for Zhao Conggu.

However, Wang Ning'an later severely warned Zhao Zongjing, and the young prince was born and grew up smoothly. In recent years, there were fewer exchanges between Zhao Zongjing and Foyin.

Foyin concentrates on meditation in the temple and does not show up easily.

I thought the matter was over.

Who would have thought that with the implementation of the royal family regulations, the Taizu family was deprived of the power to inherit the throne, and even wild beasts would struggle to death, let alone Zhao Da’s descendants!

They are unwilling to give up!

Just this calculation will succeed?

Thousands of miles away, the northwest was something that people from the capital could predict?

It seems that the strange plan is actually all related to the battle in Lingzhou!

Foyin and Da Su had some personal relationships, and they also knew that Wang Ning'an was not a simple person. It was too difficult to make trouble under his nose... Moreover, the relationship between Wang Ning'an and Zhao Zhen was quite close. Can he be alienated because of one thing? Foyin felt increasingly unreliable.

...

"Emperor, what do you think about Xixia?" Nearly a month later, Zhao Zhen asked again.

Zhao Shu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son still thinks that sir is right. As the saying goes, greed cannot be chewed. The land of Xixia traversing three thousand miles is almost equivalent to the area of ​​four or five roads in the Song Dynasty. How can one swallow more than one million people?" After this month of thinking, the little prince became more and more firm in his opinion.

"Father, Shu Erchen is brave. You are wrong. You shouldn't send an imperial envoy here, nor should you doubt the original strategy. That strategy is not just formulated by the master. You, the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War, all agreed. It is wrong to change the major military and national affairs at will!"

After the little guy finished speaking, his knees softened and he knelt in front of Zhao Zhen. However, his waist was straight. As a son minister, he offended his father and was unfilial, but I would not change my point of view!

Looking at his stubborn son, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, "If you have a loyal minister, you will not destroy your country. If you have a loyal son, you will not destroy your family! Your son, you have done a good job!"

Zhao Zhen stood up with the handrail, helped the little prince up, and let him sit beside him.

"Son of the emperor, my father sent an imperial envoy and also gave up a secret decree. I do not trust your master completely..." Zhao Zhen sighed deeply, "Father summoned Chen Shunzhi and received a lot of news one after another. Father thinks your master is right... Son of the emperor, are you willing to admit your mistake for your father?"

Zhao Shu nodded quickly, "I am willing to do so, I will go to Hengshan to see my master!"
