Hearing that Zhao Shu suddenly woke up, Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan also showed a surprised expression, and immediately walked quickly into the main hall, when they came to Zhao Shu's bedroom, they finally saw Zhao Shu half-lying on the bed, only to see that Zhao Shu's face was extremely pale at this time, and from time to time he would burst out with a violent cough, which sounded like he was going to cough out all the internal organs.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan rushed to Zhao Shu's bedside after coming in, and then bowed down at the same time.

"Ahem~, no...... No need to be polite, is the news of my illness getting out now? Zhao Shu coughed violently a few times at first, and asked him if his illness had spread in the first sentence, and it seemed that he was also worried about the impact of his illness on the Great Song Dynasty.

"Father, rest assured, Han Xianggong and others have blocked the news, and now except for a few people in the palace, no one else knows the news of his father's illness!" Zhao Shu immediately stepped forward and said, with an excited expression on his face, just now he was still worried about whether he could handle this matter, but now that his father Zhao Shu has woken up, then the burden on his body is much easier.

"It's good that it hasn't been passed out, but I don't think it will be blocked for a few days, in case the outside world knows about my illness, you should know what to do, you must stabilize the ministers in the court, Han Qi and the others will help you, as long as the ministers in the court are not chaotic, then the Great Song Dynasty will not be chaotic, you know? Ahem~" Zhao Ji nodded when he heard this, and then there was another violent cough, and even his originally thin body was stiffened, looking very painful.

When Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan saw this, they also hurriedly stepped forward to pat their backs and stroke their chests, and it took a long time for Zhao Shu to gasp and stop, at this time Zhao Yan said with some guilt: "Father, I blame my sons for their incompetence, I thought I could cure my father's illness." But I didn't expect that the root of my father's illness was not removed, which led to today's recurrence. ”

"Hehe, Yan'er, you don't have to blame yourself, I know my body, if it wasn't for your treatment, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold it two years ago. It was you who bought me two more years, so that my father could destroy Western Xia, and it can be regarded as getting what he wanted! When Zhao Shu finally said that he destroyed Western Xia, his face also showed a look of pride, which should be regarded as the greatest achievement in his life, and when future generations evaluate him, they will definitely not lack praise words.

"Father~" Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan heard Zhao Shu's words that seemed to be his last words, but they were all sad, and they couldn't help shouting at the moment. Then we wept bitterly again.

"Okay, you two don't cry anymore, although I just woke up, I already feel that my body is useless, now you tell me honestly, how long can my illness drag on?" Zhao Shu asked again at this time, he had just woken up, and he didn't know that Cao Tong and Zhilugu had already diagnosed him. However, he already knew by virtue of his own feelings that his condition this time was probably very strict. Therefore, he wants to know the specific situation of his body and make corresponding countermeasures.

Regarding Zhao Shu's inquiry, Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan didn't dare to hide it, and immediately relayed what Cao Tong had told them before, but when Zhao Shu heard that even if Cao Tong and Zhilugu joined forces, they could only keep their safety for three months. Three months later, he could die at any time, which made him sigh that he still had many ideals and ambitions that had not been realized, and that three months was too short.

I saw Zhao Shu thinking about it for a moment with a tangled expression, and finally suddenly smiled and said, "Xu'er." Since God only gave me three months, then you have to learn how to really become an emperor in these three months, speaking of which you are much better than me, when I ascended the throne, no one taught me so hand-in-hand. ”

"Father~" Zhao Ji cried again when he heard this, although he usually looks very mature and steady, but don't forget, he is still only a young man in his twenties, and it is also the first time to experience this kind of life and death between relatives, especially the other party is his most respected father, which makes him unable to suppress his feelings anymore.

However, although Zhao Shu's crying made Zhao Shu a little moved, he immediately reprimanded with a blank face: "What is the manly husband crying about, not to mention that you are the crown prince, everyone in the entire Great Song Dynasty can cry, but only you can't cry, cheer up your father, the Great Song Dynasty still needs you to pick up this burden!" ”

"Yes~, Erchen...... Sons obey! Zhao Yan heard his father's reprimand, and immediately endured his grief and said, when he was outside just now, Zhao Yan also said that others can cry, but he can't cry, and now he has been taught a lesson by Zhao Shu, which made Zhao Ji finally wake up, and began to force himself to calm down, no longer affected by love.

Zhao Shu saw that Zhao Ji was slowly getting rid of his grief, and he nodded at the moment, he was also very satisfied with his son and his heir, of course, Zhao Ji also has a lot of shortcomings, such as a little impatient personality, sometimes very stubborn, etc., but these are small problems, in general, Zhao Ji is still very good.

Next, Zhao Shu turned his head to look at Zhao Yan next to Zhao Ji, and then said calmly: "Yan'er, you are knowledgeable and resourceful, and you have unique insights into some government affairs, if your eldest brother ascends the throne in the future, if he has any shortcomings, don't forget to remind him!" ”

"Father, rest assured, the son will do his best to assist the eldest brother!" Zhao Yan also said with a firm face at the moment, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, in case Zhao Ji really insisted on changing the law as in history, and even the opposition of Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Gao was useless, I am afraid that it would be difficult for Zhao Ji to listen to his younger brother's opinion, but now I am not thinking about these things, the most important thing now is to let Zhao Shu feel at ease, and in addition, let the Great Song Dynasty have a stable transfer of power.

Seeing that Zhao Yan also agreed to assist Zhao Yan, Zhao Shu also nodded with satisfaction, and then said with some emotion: "Originally, your brothers are all dragons and phoenixes among people, if you are born in an ordinary family, there is nothing, but two excellent princes appear in the royal family at the same time, but it is the most likely to cause trouble, but fortunately, your brothers have deep feelings, and they treat each other sincerely, and there has never been anything dirty because of the throne, which is also the most satisfying place for the father." ”

When speaking of this, Zhao Shu paused for a moment and then said: "But speaking of which, your brothers have their own strengths, Xu'er is diligent and has a view of the overall situation, and is also very interested in government affairs, so he is the best successor to the throne, Yan'er, you are knowledgeable and wise, but you are too lazy, and you have no interest in government affairs, so you are really not suitable for the emperor, but you can come up with ideas behind your eldest brother." ”

"What my father said is very true, my sons have always been lazy, if I am buried in government affairs every day like my eldest brother, then it is better to kill me." Zhao Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhao Shu's evaluation of himself, he knew himself better than anyone else, on the one hand, he didn't want to quarrel with Zhao Yan over the throne, and on the other hand, he was indeed not suitable to be the emperor.

"Ahem~, it's good if you know it yourself!" Zhao Shu couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard Zhao Yan admit his shortcomings without denying it, but he didn't expect another cough, and finally spoke.

After finishing talking about Zhao Yan, Zhao Shu turned his head to Zhao Yan again and said: "Xu'er, your personality is a little impatient, this is related to your relatively young age, when you reach a certain age, you should slowly change your impatient personality, I am not worried about this, but you also have a shortcoming, that is, you are too stubborn about some things, before you chose a concubine, I and your mother, and Yan'er have a lot of hearts, plus that Hua Zhi also understands things very well, which made you change your mind, you have to pay attention to this in the future!" ”

"Father, son...... Erchen knows that he is wrong! Zhao Ji heard Zhao Shu mention the matter of choosing a concubine again, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty at the moment, his marriage has been decided, although there has not been a big wedding yet, but it is a matter of time, after he calmed down during this time, he did find that he was a little too stubborn.

Seeing Zhao Ji's guilty look, Zhao Shu did not stop because of this, but spoke again: "Er, your marriage is only one of them, in addition, I found that you and Wang Anshi have a close relationship during this time, and you are also very concerned about the change of the law, originally I thought that I still have time for you to slowly understand the disadvantages of the change, so as to change your attitude towards the change, but I didn't expect that God will not give me, you sue me now, if you wait until you ascend the throne, do you have the intention of appointing Wang Anshi to change the law?" ”

When Zhao Shu said in the end, the expression on his face also became extremely stern, he knew better than anyone the bad impact that the change might have on the Great Song Dynasty, of course, if the change was successful, it might indeed eliminate some of the accumulated shortcomings within the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Shu thought that the risk taken was not proportional to the benefits obtained, and the possibility of the success of the change was too small, so he put Wang Anshi's change on the shelf, and for Wang Anshi, he was only arranged as a Qing nobleman, and there was no intention of reusing it at all.

Zhao Yan was also stunned when he heard Zhao Shu directly ask about Zhao Ji's attitude towards the change, and then looked at Zhao Ji again, he was also very concerned about this issue, so he also observed Zhao Ji's reaction very carefully.

I saw that after Zhao Wei heard Zhao Shu's question, the look on his face also changed several times, in fact, he was in contact with Wang Anshi during this time, and he was indeed very yearning for the change, although he had not yet made up his mind whether to change the law after ascending the throne, but he already had a tendency in this regard, but he also knew that Zhao Shu was resolutely opposed to the change, so he didn't know how to answer his father's question for a while.
