Chapter 20 Successor(3/3)

"If this is the case, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious." Zhao Ding said seriously. "The advantage is that there is no attachment to the East Palace, so there can be less suspicion between father, son, monarch and ministers, but the disadvantage is that the prince has no title and is an official, so it is difficult to train him.

The power of the king..."

This time, it was Zhao Jiu's turn to be silent.

After a long time, the official managed to smile and said: "If I say that this is the real reason why I have been pretending to be sick until today, you may think that I am talking nonsense again, but this is the truth... Dear gentlemen, what do you think?

How does the system of Prime Minister-Secret Pavilion-Gong Pavilion work when I'm not asking about things? Isn't it good to be away from me?"

All the ministers in the palace, from Lu Haowen on down, including several ministers who were not qualified to speak at this time, almost all jumped up and looked up at Zhao Guan's family who was sitting there.

"I don't mean anything earth-shattering." Zhao Jiu said with a smile. "I don't have any ambition to achieve success overnight. It's just that I have been thinking about succession these days, and my two sons are just infants. So as a father, thinking about his son,

If my grandson is capable in the future, it would be great to make him Emperor Wen and Jingwu of the Song Dynasty. But what if this child grows up to look like Emperor Taishang Daojun? Doesn’t it mean that he wants to make Emperor Yang of the Song Dynasty? And these days, I am alone in the harem.

Hey, there are constant rumors outside, and it is clear that there is a political trend, and you lead the Secret Pavilion as Prime Minister. Although there are some disturbances, you have always kept the court running properly. I can't help but wait for a moment... Then I can't help but

Think about it, if the Prime Minister had more power over the Secret Pavilion and gave the Gongge some power to supervise the Secret Pavilion, he would be able to turn Emperor Song Yang into Emperor Song Ling...right?"

Lu Haowen was stunned and silent. Zhao Ding and below, including Li Guang and Ma Shen, all had dry mouths.

"Take your time!" Zhao Jiu continued with a smile. "It would be nice to be able to cure it one day, but what if my children and grandchildren don't like it? We can only cultivate some traditions slowly... that is, while I am alive, If you build a secret pavilion full of Taoism, I will have to disband it directly. When everyone inside and outside the secret pavilion starts talking about Taoism and is willing to go to the north, of course I will be happy to be a caretaker to save myself from getting tired and sick. Come on... As for secretly building reserves, I actually have the mentality to respond to this matter."

The important ministers below, with the exception of Ma Shen, who was born in Taoism, were more or less cheerful... In comparison, the Zhao Guan family's previous pretending to be ill and the frivolous reform of the prince seemed to be excusable.

It seems that he was fooled by Zhao Guan's family.

On the other side, after Zhao Guan's family said this, they ordered Yang Yizhong to put away a secret edict, and then asked Lu Haowen to take the lead, and watched with their own eyes as the other secret edict was hidden in Wende Hall.

And just when everyone was about to turn around and say goodbye, suddenly, Zhao Guanjia, who had already stood up, turned back to look at each other:

"My lords, please tell me that I have moved the Queen Mother Yuanyou here. Do you want to treat her equally and invite the two Supreme Emperors to live together?"

The ministers were helpless, and seeing Hu Yin who had been silent all this time, they became a little angry. Zhao Guanjia finally laughed, shook his head and turned around.

After leaving the house, the ministers naturally followed Yang Yizhong to the Wende Hall to perform this ritualistic act of hanging the beam. This time, it was not like the officials came out to stir up trouble. It gave people a great sense of accomplishment. .

The matter was completely settled, and all the officials dispersed with their own thoughts.

However, just outside the Wende Hall, Yang Yizhong suddenly called out to one of them:

"Lin Shangshu!"

Lin Jingmo turned his head in surprise.

"Do you have relatives in the Xinghua Army in Fujian?" Yang Yizhong asked a question that made the other ministers completely lose interest.

"Yes." Lin Jingmo paused for a moment, obviously remembering the weird look in Zhao Guan's eyes before, but he waited for the other ministers to realize that they were interested and walked away before he spoke seriously. "My Lin family has a large family, and Fujian has very little land, so we have many branches. Sanye, there is a close cousin with the same grandfather registered in Xinghua Army."

"I dare to ask Lin Shangshu. Before Jingkang, when your cousin was an official in Tokyo, he bought a maid. The maid was pregnant, but the mistress was extremely jealous and was forced to leave. She was pregnant. Does the person who married your cousin...Lin Shangshu know about this?"

Yang Yizhong's questions are getting more and more ridiculous.

"I really don't know the inside story of this kind of thing." Lin Jingmo was silent for a long time before continuing to deal with it. "But this kind of thing was really common before the overhaul of Xingtong two years ago, and it was even more common before Jingkang... Yang Tongzhi, it concerns me. I don’t want to answer any further questions about my cousin’s family affairs. If an official asks you to ask this question, please speak up.”

"The child's name is Lin Yifei. He is almost an adult. Cao Yong accidentally found out during this investigation..." Yang Yizhong also became cautious. He must respect Lin Jingmo. "The officials obviously did not want to implicate innocent people, and invited Lin Shangshu rest assured that he will not be implicated at this time, but he still hopes that Lin Shangshu can verify the origins of his mother and son, because if it is true, just one unilateral sentence sent to the north may be able to shake up the overall situation... That A jealous woman has no offspring."

Lin Jingmo was so smart that he almost woke up instantly after hearing these words, but he raised his head and sighed: "Yifei is not good at learning. After I returned to the capital, he became the person in charge of my house as my nephew...I

Although we know that there are some theories about his life experience, how can we dare to think that he is the only flesh and blood of the enemy's prime minister?"

Yang Yizhong remained silent.

Lin Jingmo turned around and shook his head to leave, but he stopped and looked back: "Tongzhi Yang, tell me, if he had known that his only flesh and blood was safe here, would he have been so calm and committed a traitor that day?"

Yang Yizhong finally spoke calmly: "There is a gossip among the officials about this matter. It is said that some roads, such as going down a mountain with a heavy load, can only be done to the end once you start... Just like some roads, such as climbing a mountain with a heavy load, you have to go ninety-nine times.

If you take no more than one step, all your previous efforts will be wasted."

Lin Jingmo nodded and turned around.
