Like his father, the emperor's son did not survive.

For an emperor, it is really a headache that there is no one to inherit thousands of Li rivers and mountains.

In the past, many important officials of the imperial court asked emperor LiZong to choose one of the royal children as his adopted son and be granted the title of crown prince. Emperor LiZong could also say that he was prosperous in spring and autumn, so there was no need to worry.

But now the situation is different. With the passage of time and his age, he has to consider the issue of heir to the throne. After all, as the emperor of the great Song Dynasty, he has the responsibility and obligation to inherit the great song dynasty.

Emperor LiZong's favorite minister was Prime Minister Jia Sidao. When he had this idea, he called him to the palace to discuss the matter with Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

For this matter, Jia Sidao is also thinking about it, but he knows his master. If emperor LiZong does not have a prince himself, it will cause emperor LiZong's displeasure.

After the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Jia Sizong's position was directly related to his own interests.

In view of this, he is also looking for his favorite royal children as heirs of his support.

He chose Zhao Yi, the son of King Rong.

Rong Wang's princess did not give birth to a child and a half for him.

After Rong Wang got drunk once, he served a maid beside him for a time. After that, he didn't become a maid. The maid who served him continued to be her maid.

But no one thought, most of the time with the king, the princess's stomach did not move, just and this insignificant maid once pregnant.

When Rong Wang's Princess knew that the maid was pregnant, she worried that the maid would threaten her position after she gave birth to her baby, so she secretly sent her confidants to give birth control medicine to the maid.

The dispatch's confidant felt that it was a bit immoral to do this thing. He felt soft in his heart. He just put a bit of abortion medicine in the medicine and handed it over to Princess Rong. He didn't put enough abortion medicine in the medicine that the maid drank.

Hearing that the maid had drunk the abortion medicine, Princess Rong put her heart down.

But she never thought that her confidant had not done anything. Ten months later, the maid gave birth to Zhao Yi for the king of honor.

As the only bone and blood of King Rong, it was not so easy for the princess to harm Zhao Zhen again.

She didn't dare to do it easily. She just drove the maid away and raised Zhao by herself.

It's just because Zhao's mother drank a small amount of abortion medicine when she was pregnant with him. Although Zhao was born safely, she became a little silly.

When I was nearly five years old, I learned to walk, and when I was seven years old, I would speak.

But in this way, Wang Rong also doted on his only son. When Zhao Zhen was ten years old, he invited a famous Confucian in Lin'an City to teach him Confucian classics.

Unfortunately, because of the problem of intelligence, although the great scholar is a very attentive Professor, Zhao always has little knowledge and little learning.

The great Confucian was very angry, so he left rongwangfu and no longer taught Zhao Zhen.

Even these famous teachers can't teach students like Zhao Yi well. After this great scholar left, Rong Wang went to invite other famous teachers. No matter how much money he paid, no one wanted to come.

For the future of his only son, Rong Wang had no choice but to teach his son himself.

In this way, Zhao Zhen, under the guidance of his father, has been 18 years old.

Although Zhao is not good at intelligence and learning the way of governing the country, he is very talented when playing crickets.

In this respect, it is not too much to say that he is a genius.

In those days, Premier Jia Sidao was appreciated by Emperor LiZong by playing crickets, and he stepped into the position of prime minister step by step.

Zhao Zhen and Prime Minister Jia Sidao met when they were fighting crickets in the cricket hall.

Since then, the two have been in deep contact.

Jia Sidao thinks that Zhao Zhen is not intelligent and playful. If he helps him become the future emperor of the Song Dynasty, he can still control the court and be the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.

In view of these, although he did not recommend Zhao Zhen, the son of Rong Wang, before today's saint, he secretly used his identity and status to give Zhao Zhen some ideas. In this way, the mentally retarded Zhao Zhen left a good impression on emperor LiZong.

Naturally, when the prince was established, Emperor LiZong first thought of Zhao Yi, the son of King Rong.

After listening to Emperor LiZong's idea, Prime Minister Jia Sidao was ecstatic.

On the surface, he is still calm.

He deliberately pretended to think about it, and then he said, "my Lord, as far as I know, Zhao Zhen, the son of King Rong, is very filial and is indeed a suitable candidate for the crown prince."

Prime Minister Jia Sidao knew that the most important thing for emperor LiZong was filial piety, so he said to Emperor LiZong."Ai Qing, listen to what you mean. Do you agree with my decision?" Emperor LiZong asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

The prime minister Jia Sidao replied, "of course, I have no opinion about your decision."

"It's just..." He added.

Emperor LiZong listened to him and asked, "just what?"

"The crown prince is the crown prince of the country, and is a major event of our song dynasty. If we want to make Zhao Yi, the son of the king of honor, the crown prince, I'm afraid we need to discuss with the officials." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

Emperor LiZong said, "of course. I told you today that I want to talk to you first, so that you can have a psychological preparation."

"Thank you for your trust." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

Emperor LiZong said, "you are welcome to be between us."

"You should go back quickly and make arrangements to prevent the situation from getting out of control when discussing this matter in the golden palace." He said.

Jia Sidao agreed and left the palace .。

Such a major event as the establishment of the crown prince will not be discussed at the small court meeting.

At a grand meeting of three people, we can discuss this matter.

When Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, announced that all the officials had something to play early and nothing to withdraw from the court, Jia Sidao, the Prime Minister of the Imperial College, stood up from his class, knelt down on the ground and said, "I have something to play

"Jia Aiqing, what can I do for you?" Emperor LiZong asked,

Prime Minister Jia Sidao replied, "what I'm playing is about the establishment of the prince."

With that, he handed over his memorial.

This was discussed by the two men in advance. Emperor LiZong did not look at the memorials, but also knew the contents of his memorials.

Know to know, but this process still has to go.

Emperor LiZong opened the memorial according to the procedure, looked at it and said, "Jia Aiqing, do you want to suggest to me that Zhao Zhen be the crown prince?"

"Yes, my Lord." The prime minister replied.

Of course, this request is in line with emperor LiZong's own ideas.

She was very happy, but in order to show her selflessness, she asked other ministers, "Dear Aiqing, what's your opinion on this matter?"

"My Lord, I don't agree with Jia Xiang." After a moment's silence on the golden hall, Lord Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment in the Wen class, stood up and replied.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Jia Sidao asked, "tell me your reasons."

"As far as I know, there is something wrong with the intelligence of the little prince of the Rong family." The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, replied.

Hearing what he said, Prime Minister Jia Sidao retorted: "Lord Wen, you dare to insult the little prince of Rong's family in public."

"That's rude." He added.

As soon as the words were finished, King Rong himself stood up and asked, "Wen Tianxiang, I have no grudge with you in the past, but I have no grudge recently. Why do you want to slander my son?"

"Mr. Wang, you have misunderstood Mr. Wen." Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, came out to explain for the man Wen Tianxiang.

Lord Rong glared at Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, and said, "what are you? There's no part for you here."

"Mr. Wang, what you said is wrong. This is the Grand Court meeting. Since the lower officials have gone to court, they have the right to speak." Zhang Shijie, head of the Ministry of war.

The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "old prince, you don't know that there is a big backing behind Zhang's affairs."

"No wonder." After hearing Jia Sidao's words, Wang Rong nodded and said.

Lord Rong asked Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, "tell me about it. Who is your backer

"Mr. Wang, don't be provoked by some people. Mr. Zhang is the leader of the Ministry of war on his own. He has no support." Zhang Shijie, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "look, the backer is not coming out."

"Who is the contradiction between my king and Zhang Shijie, the head of the military department? It's you, Mr. Wen!" After listening to the words of prime minister Jia Sidao, Prince Rong said.

Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, knows that this is the result of what Prime Minister Jia Sidao said just now.

He was patient and said to King Rong, "Mr. Lord, what Mr. Zhang said just now is really not what I mean."

"What You Wen Tianxiang said is exactly the same as what Zhang Shijie said. It's true to say that you Wen Tianxiang are Zhang Shijie's backers." Wang Rong said.

He said, "my son, my king knows best."

"Then tell me." Emperor LiZong ordered.

The king of honor bowed himself and said, "just now, Mr. Wen said that Wang Aizi had some intellectual problems. In fact, they were all slanders of Wang Aizi by some people."

"Wang's Aizi is very honest and good at caring with others. He would rather suffer losses than let others suffer losses. In this way, many people think that Wang's Aizi has problems in intelligence. In fact, they know that this is the value of Wang's Aizi." He added.As the saying goes, "after hearing the emperor's loss, he nodded his head."

"Or the son of the Lord who knows my brother." Honor the king.

The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "Zhao Yi, the little prince of the Rongwang family, has often had contact with the old minister. The old minister just took a fancy to him and recommended him to the emperor as the crown prince."

"Mr. Xiang, you can do things." Rong Wang Ye gave the prime minister Jia Sidao a thumbs up and said.

The prime minister Jia Sidao listened to others' praise and said modestly, "you are flattered, Lord."

"I'm not a dictatorial man, Wen Aiqing. Since you don't think Zhao Zhen of Rong Wang's family is suitable, you should recommend a suitable person to me." Emperor LiZong had great humanity to Minister Wen Tianxiang of the Ministry of punishment.

Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "Lord Wen, the emperor has given you a chance now. Don't you hurry to say it."

"This is not the same, I'd like to remind you." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

He added: "I recommend Zhao Yong, the eldest son of the Han family."

"Zhao Yong?" After hearing this, Emperor LiZong asked with some doubts.

Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "my Lord, you have met Zhao Yong."

"Have I seen you before?" Emperor LiZong asked.

He asked again, "but I have no impression."

"This little prince Zhao Yong is the little prince who performed horse riding for you on the Spring Festival last year." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, reminded emperor LiZong of Tao.

Emperor LiZong remembered this and said, "it's him."

"I remember, Zhao Yong's performance at that time was really good." He added.

The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, listened to Emperor LiZong's admiration for little prince Zhao Yong. He struck while the iron was hot and said, "Little Prince Zhao Yong is brave and resourceful. If we make him the crown prince of Song Dynasty, we will certainly carry forward the foundation of Song Dynasty."

"Mr. Wen, you are exaggerating a little." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.

Shang Shuwen of the Ministry of punishment asked: "I never speak at will."

"I have heard of the little prince Zhao Yong. If I say that he is brave, I can say it. But if I say that he is scheming, I don't agree with him." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.

The prime minister Jia Sidao said: "Mr. Zhang, what he said is very reasonable. The little prince Zhao Yong only knows how to fight and kill. If he is used to attack, it is OK. But it is not suitable to be the crown prince of the Song Dynasty."

"It seems that you Aiqing have their own ideas." Li Zong emperor road.

Prime Minister Jia Sidao said: "holy, the Song Dynasty is up to you. Who do you think is suitable to inherit your country, that is who."

In fact, this is to let emperor LiZong make the son of Rongwang the crown prince of the great Song Dynasty, and Jia Sidao will give his full support.

Of course, Emperor LiZong understood the meaning of this.

However, as an emperor, he could not split the ministers in the court and cause the concussion of the court because of the establishment of the crown prince. Autocratic emperor

said, "I has the final say, but all the Ai Qing know it. I never do anything serious anymore."

"Since Wen Aiqing and Jia Aiqing of the Ministry of punishment have each recommended a successor to the crown prince, I will give Zhao Yong, the eldest son of King Han, the same chance as Zhao Zhen, the son of King Rong." He added.
