Zhao Ji eats and chews wax these days, sleeps and is a night's shock, nightmares, the Jurchen invasion tortured him unspeakably, he can't help but retreat, thinking that it is not as good as Zen, he is a hands-off shopkeeper, from this matter is not about himself, every day to paint poems, listen to music and drink, enjoy the joy of life, is not better than being an emperor.

But then the problem came again, Zhao Ji was only forty-four years old at this time, but he had thirty-one sons and thirty-four daughters, in addition to five princes and fourteen imperial prostitutes who died early due to ineffective medical treatment, there were also twenty-six princes and twenty princesses. The daughter doesn't have to think about the succession, but the son still has a bunch, who is more suitable for it?

The eldest Zhao Huan is a descendant, he has been the prince for ten years, and he is the legal successor, but this child is not right with him, and the two have incompatible personalities. He likes Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan, Cai's father and son, etc., but he doesn't like it, and he hates it very much, and has repeatedly threatened to deal with them strictly after he takes power; Then there is his own faith, dedicated to the Tao, but this child likes Buddhism, when he just wanted to change the Buddha temple to the palace, Shakya to Tianzun, Bodhisattva to Dashi, he was unwilling, quarreling with himself in the main hall, no face.

And he usually likes to eat better, dress better, live more comfortably, and have fun, but this instigated the child is not happy, but he repaired a garden in the imperial city, and he muttered every day, saying that there are still a lot of things to do now, and the state funds are tight, and our family still spends money to repair the garden, or we should pay attention to the impact! is a virtue with his mother, and he advises himself to be a 'frugal virtue, known in the world'. He's not annoyed...

The third Zhao Kai is actually the most hearty. This child's temperament and hobbies are the same as his own, and he can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It can be described as talented, and none of the brothers can surpass him. Now the child is becoming more and more filial. Zhilu said that he likes rare pictures, and when he gets good things, he will send them to himself immediately. Another is that Zhao Kai is not only handsome, but also very talented, knowledgeable, no one among so many children can stand out, the small brush of flowers and birds he painted is similar to his own painting, it can reach the point of being fake!

In addition, this kid can unite his colleagues, and he has a good relationship with these ministers in the DPRK and China, and everyone in the palace and outside the palace says that he is good. If he is allowed to take over, those teams will still be preserved. To say that there are qualifications, Jinshi was born, and he has been promoted in the Imperial City Division for more than ten years, and he has done well, and the personal subordinate officers of the Imperial City Division have developed from four commanders to five commanders, with nearly three thousand people, and now he can know the affairs of the world without going out. If it weren't for the defeat of Baigou in the first battle of Liao, he would still be ready to let him be the commander-in-chief of the crusading army, so that he could experience gold-plated in the army!

"Alas. It's just that this child's mother is from a low background, not a sister-in-law! Zhao Ji thought about it and sighed, his sister-in-law is still here, if he is allowed to take over. will definitely fall into the hands of others, and he will be criticized by others.

Now is the time when the country is in danger, and it is necessary to use what can be done. Those who are still feeding, peeing and mud are expelled first. There are more than ten left, and Zhao Ji suddenly thought that there was another son who could enter the eyes of the law. That is the second child Zhao Ta, this child is born in his mother is the queen, and he is also a son-in-law, but he is not the eldest son, but this is not less than the third succession resistance.

"But can he?" Zhao Ji turned his mind to Zhao Ta, this child grew up in the countryside out of the palace since he was a child, he didn't like to read and lacked discipline, he was reckless, and he was not afraid of the sky and the earth.

But this kid is not good at being a man, he can't pull relationships, and he is a gangster, and he has offended several important ministers in the court, and there are really few people who have not been beaten and scolded by him except for Cai Jing's old thing, but he likes this ruffian energy in him, loves to listen to his stories, loves to eat the dishes he cooks, likes to chat with him, and lets him know that there is still a true relationship between father and son in the world.

Although Zhao Ji seems to be confused, some things can still be understood, and he also saw the mystery of the East Palace dispute back then, and the second son said that he didn't want to cause disharmony between father and son, and the brothers turned against each other so that he withdrew from the battle, and chose to support Zhao Huan to take the throne and pacified the crowd. From this incident, Zhao Ji also saw that this son was by no means an ordinary person.

Entering the East Palace can be said to be the dream of every prince, but he said that he gave up and gave up, which seemed generous, but in fact, he was wise and saw the situation clearly. Although he himself has the queen's mother, the maternal family has no foundation. And he is far away from the capital, has little contact with courtiers and celebrities, and cannot get their support at all, so it is better to advance and retreat.

Then Zhao Kai's Waizhuang was burned to the ground overnight, Zhuang Ke did not stay, all kinds of rumors pointed to him at that time, but Kaifeng Mansion investigated for a long time but failed to find the murderer, and he had no choice but to do it, he could do such a big thing without leaking, can he be said to be reckless?

Then Zhao Ta made a big fuss in the capital and made a few 'immortals' neatly slippery, and went to Jiangnan to dismiss dozens of officials, and even Zhu Mian, who was known as the king of the southeast, let him clean up his temper, but after he complained about Jiangnan, he was able to return to Beijing safely and unharmed, which shows that his brain is not only enough, but also very scheming, no wonder Zhao Kai is so smart that people are played by him.

Later, considering that Zhao Ta had a lot of grievances in the capital, he wanted to protect him, and at the same time, in order to contain the more powerful Tong Guan and let him pacify Hedong, he didn't expect him to calm the border troubles. But this kid was a blockbuster, defeated the Western Xia armies in a row, and beat the famous Western Xia general Cha Ge fled alone, recovering Ling, Xia and other states, and the Western Xia bowed down to the vassals, completing what several generations of emperors wanted to do but failed to do.

In the past few years, Hedong and Hezhong have made him govern in an orderly manner, successfully subdued the leaders of the Tibetan tribe, appeased the people of all ethnic groups, and solved several major events such as the influx of a large number of displaced people into the northwest after the southeast civil uprising.

After repeated comparisons, Zhao Ji decided that the second child was actually the most appropriate successor, but the more he did, the more he could not pass on the throne to him. Because his plan to take the Zen throne is just to deal with the southern invasion of the Jin army and protect himself, if he inherits the great treasure by the means of the second child, it is unlikely that he wants to regain power.

After weighing it again and again, Zhao Ji's eyes flashed with the resentful look of the prince Zhao Huan, and now he can't take care of it much, it is important to throw the hot yam in his hand, I hope Zhao Huan can 'understand' his good intentions in the future... (To be continued......)
