Zhao Kai and Zhu Lian knew each other at a very young age, and they are still familiar with each other!

The defenses between men and women in the Song Dynasty were not as strict as those in the later Ming and Qing dynasties. Even girls like Zhu Lian who were born in an aristocratic family had many opportunities to go out for fun, and there was no need to deliberately avoid men. Although free love is rare, there are still opportunities. Didn’t Li Qingzhao hook up with Zhao Mingcheng by himself?

Zhao Kai has been a "child from other people's house" since he was a child. He is very outstanding and particularly likes girls.

Zhu Lian and Zhao Kai were actually a little close. Song Qinzong's biological mother, Empress Qin Cheng, was Zhu Lian's grandmother.

With this relationship, even if Zhu Lian and Zhao Kai are people in the same circle, they will naturally have more opportunities to meet.

Moreover, Zhu Lian is also a talented woman, and she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has a lot of common language with Zhao Kai, the "Talented Version". So when they were young, they often met and talked about some things like calligraphy, painting and literature, and they were also very interesting to each other.

Zhao Huan was a little bored since he was a child, and he was stupid and could not please girls. He blushed when he saw Zhu Lian. However, when Zhao Ji asked him about the girl he liked, he still seized the opportunity to get Zhu Lian.

But I didn’t expect that so many years have passed, and the relationship between Zhao Kai and Zhu Lian is still so good... so good that even Zhao Qi can see that something is wrong!

What does it mean to "know since childhood"? You can't be lucky when you know each other since childhood? Then Zhao Kai and Zhu Lian are childhood sweethearts, and they are young and have no guesses, and they are in love with each other... Do you need "happy"?

The more Zhao Huan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that the long-legged head on his head was a little green!

"Official family, let's go there!"

At this time, Zhu Lian suddenly spoke. Zhao Huan was a little annoyed when he heard this, and turned around and asked, "Are you going to see Zhao Kai?"

Zhu Lian was stunned, "What did the official family say? Uncle San has lost Yingtian Mansion again. How can I meet me? I want to go to Longjiang Pass to meet my twelfth uncle!"

Zhao Qi nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the eldest sister-in-law comes forward, the twelfth brother will definitely not make things difficult for King Jinling again."

Although Zhao Huan was very dissatisfied with Zhao Zhi's attitude, he didn't have the courage to drive Zhao Zhi away... He was still thinking about spending money to buy a Ping An deal with Zhao Kai!

So he had to take a deep breath, suppress his anger, and said to Zhu Lian: "Empress, tell the twelfth brother that I can give the third brother the crown brother, and the annual salary..."

Is it too much to give 6 million? Zhao Huan was thinking about whether he would give Zhao Kai a salary cut, but Zhu Lian had already spoken to continue his words, "Just give 10 million guan... The court did not have enough money, so he went out of the sealed warehousing.

In addition, he expelled the Jin thieves and avenged the late emperor. He worked hard and made great contributions, so he should also give him some money to reward him. In addition, the water of the Yellow River flows into the Huai River is very bad for both Huai Rivers. If it can be managed, it will be beneficial to us. So I suggest giving you another 20 million guan at one time."

"You..." Zhao Huan was almost furious again.

Zhao Qi, who was next to him, hurriedly said to Zhao Huan: "Brother, it's great to spend money to avoid disasters now. Third Brother's Land Division has 600,000, and we only have 150,000, four of us will fight one! Moreover, Third Brother's artillery and cavalry are stronger than us, so we can't fight with him at all. If Third Brother wants to invade the south, the two Huai lands will have to change hands in the blink of an eye. Once the Third Brother's army comes to Jiangbei..."

"Give money, give money..." Zhao Huan immediately figured it out, "As long as the third brother does not invade the south, I will give him 20 million at a time, and give him another 10 million a year!"

......

"The third brother said that what he wants is the status of unity between money and the world, and he will never harm his elder brother and sister-in-law..."

When Zhao Qi and Zhu Lian headed to Longjiang Pass Wharf, Zhao Zhi was already explaining Zhao Kai's policies to a group of brothers.

King Zhao Chen of Jinling came to Longjiang Pass with a group of ministers and uncles. Zhao Zhi held the airs and refused to get off the boat, and Zhao Chen also maintained the decent attitude of the crown prince and could not get on the boat to pay tribute to Zhao Zhi.

And those ministers who followed Zhao Chen also had to adhere to the principle and could not get on the boat to pay homage to Zhao Zhi, the representative of Zhao Kai.

But those princes of the Zhao family who followed Zhao Chen, such as Zhao Mo, Zhao Di, Zhao?, Zhao Bai, Zhao Huang, Zhao Bai, Zhao Yue, Zhao Yi, Zhao Yu and others, did not have so much concern. Their position was to kiss Zhao Kai... Some of these princes heard Zhao Ji's will with their own ears.

Moreover, they also knew that Zhao Huan had resigned from the throne before Zhao Kai went to war, and Zhao Ji said at that time, "The prince was weak and sick, so Sanlang should encourage him to go to Hebei here."

This is very obvious... Zhao Ji wanted to pass the throne to Zhao Kai! He just wanted Zhao Kai to make contributions in Hebei first, and after he came back, he would replace Zhao Huan as the crown prince.

Now Zhao Kai has driven away the golden thief and has exceeded Zhao Ji's request!

In addition, everyone knows that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were very nervous when they were besieged in Kaifeng Prefecture. The reason why Zhao Huan was not deposed was because he received the support of civilian military leaders such as Li Gang, Yuwen Xuzhong, and Wu Min.

Therefore, these sect kings of the Southern Song Dynasty all recognized Zhao Kai's orthodox status... and Zhao Huan himself could not completely deny this because too many people heard Zhao Ji's will.

Moreover, Zhao Kai now has the Central Plains and has restored Yan Yun. The former Song Dynasty was in the east, south, west, north, and Beijing, and the Jingzhao Prefecture. All of them are in the hands of Zhao Kai, and the ancestral tombs of the Song Dynasty are also in the hands of Zhao Kai.

Therefore, Zhao Kai’s legitimacy is undoubtedly!

If Zhao Kai had not confiscated too many scholars and offended scholars all over the world, Zhao Huan would have been finished long ago...

Zhao Zhi's real purpose this time was not to persuade Zhao Huan to surrender, but to promote Zhao Kai's policies to the sect kings of the Southern Song Dynasty and the literati below.

As long as these people turned to Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai could pacify the Southern Song Dynasty at the lowest cost and unify the world.

So Zhao Zhi took advantage of the present and reasoned to a group of brothers.

"Brother is preparing to follow the Western Han Dynasty and implement the system of parallel counties and states!" Zhao Zhi began to fool him, and he smiled and said, "Do you know what the so-called parallel counties and states mean? During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, there were twenty-five kingdoms and forty-three counties in the world. Do you know what the surnames of the kings of these twenty-five kingdoms were?"

When the Zhao brothers heard this, of course they were excited.

"I know! Everyone's surname is Liu!"

"If you don't have to be the king, you will not be appointed as the king!"

"The Han Dynasty was not King Liu Buwang, so should our Song Dynasty be King Zhao Buwang?"

"Twelfth brother, the third brother really wants to enfeoff the kingdom in the southeast?"

Zhao Zhi smiled and said, "The third brother means to first as the king of Wuyue and lead the land of Liangzhe. Then our brothers will be vassal kings and governors, and will be divided into Liangjiang, Lianghuai, Guangdong, Fujian and other places. We and our elder brother just pay tribute to the court every year, and we can take care of local affairs."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Brother Twelve, the Western Han Dynasty was in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms..."

When Zhao Zhi heard someone ask this, he smiled and said, "The third brother had thought of it for a long time... So the third brother would proclaim his kindness in Wuyue Kingdom. As soon as the eldest brother passed away, the Wuyue Kingdom became more than a dozen small kingdoms, almost one country and one state, why are you making trouble?

As for the vassal kings and governors, they were regularly transferred to the office, but they were in charge of the town for life."

"This is great! With us brothers holding the place for the third brother, the southeast will be stable."

"Haha, this is great... we will never have to worry about this life!"

"It's not just that we won't have to worry about this life, we won't have to worry about our descendants!"

Of course these princes were happy - even if the local emperor became the one!

Although they have to pay Zhao Kai every year, they can also put a lot of money into their pockets!

Of course, this matter is not only good for the Zhao princes, but also for the literati and prodigal businessmen in the southeast, as well as the new army of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The literati and officials have a place to become officials, the prodigal businessmen can also protect the industry by embracing the princes' thighs, and the new army of the water and land can also have a place to continue to spend money on their lives...

As for the working people in the southeast... of course, they continue to be oppressed! However, the people who oppressed them have not been replaced. It turns out that no matter how much they are oppressed after such oppression, they will not encounter any war. It is actually acceptable.

It can be said that the "parallel system of counties and states" proposed by Zhao Kai can still satisfy people from all aspects of the Southern Song Dynasty.

For Zhao Kai, it is actually not much different to letting a group of brothers exploit the people in the Southeast for him and to let a group of corrupt officials do this... Maybe these brothers can still have snacks!

Moreover, Zhao Kai will not always let them take real power. When they work for a few years, the Southeast will recognize the Northern Song Dynasty and then put them under silence.

The only troublesome thing is Zhao Huan's Wu Yue Kingdom... But as long as Zhao Huan dies, the problem will be solved. There are only a dozen "Governor Zhao" that can't make a big deal.

"The Queen of Wu arrived, and the King of Jinling arrived..."

While a group of princes were discussing each other, suddenly the sound of a roll call came from outside.

Zhu Lian and Zhao Chen actually got on the boat!

Zhao Zhi didn't dare to neglect - his elder sister-in-law is like a mother! And he also knew that Zhao Kai and Zhu Lian had a good relationship, and Zhu Lian was Zhao Kai's elder sister-in-law!

He is both a sister-in-law, a sister-in-law, and a childhood sweetheart... This is a big deal!

So he quickly got up with his brothers and wanted to greet Zhu Lian. As a result, he stood up, he heard Huan Pei Ding Ding Ding and smelled the scent that came to his face.

Zhu Lian had already entered the small cabin.

"I've met my sister-in-law!"

"I've seen the princess!"

Zhu Lian nodded to a group of Zhao family kings with a smile, but his son Zhao Chen had a pale face... The person who just called Zhao Zhi the personal soldiers, who actually called his mother the "Queen of Wu".

Now the emperors in the cabin call Zhu Lian "sister-in-law" and "sister-in-law", and no one calls her "Empress". What does this mean? You princes of the Southern Song Dynasty are all ready to rebel?

Zhao Chen was almost angry and cried. He and Zhao Huan were so good at this group of Zhao family princes. Why are they going to betray now? What benefits did Zhao Kai give them? Doesn’t they feel so conscience?
