Chapter 473 Zhao Kai Advises Father
I don't want Zhao Ji to shake his head to express his disapproval after hearing this, "Not right, not right!"

Zhao Kai asked, "Why did the father object? As far as I know, Mu Xu is also a rare young talent, and he will not humiliate Fifth Sister."

Zhao Ji explained, "First, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a princess to marry outside. If I agree to this matter, I am afraid it will cause criticism from the Manchu Dynasty.

Two, if Fifth Sister is married to Mu Xu, it means that she has to leave Tokyo, which makes me reluctant. "

Since Zhao Kai wanted to sell Mu Xu with this matter, he would not give up easily, so he continued to persuade him,

"Father's words, my ministers disagree. Although Mu Xu was born in a reckless family, he is now a minister of the Song Dynasty. Since he is a courtier of the father, how can the fifth sister be considered a foreign marriage?

Besides, because of the marriage contract between the fifth younger sister and Cai Kuang, there was a disturbance in the previous round.If it happens again, Fifth Younger Sister's reputation will be ruined.Even if she is a noble concubine, she might not be able to find a good husband in the future, how can this father have the heart? "

Seeing the emotion on Zhao Ji's face, Zhao Kai insisted, "And if you marry my younger sister to Mu Xu, there are two great benefits."

"My son can tell you carefully."

"Yes, my son, if there is something wrong with what I said, I would like to ask my father to point it out." Zhao Kai cupped his hands, and then said something like this.

"My son once heard that Mu Xu has some elite soldiers and strong generals, and they also occupy the two important areas of Hedong and Yunzhou. Although the imperial court recruits him now, there is no guarantee that he will not have two hearts in the long run.

Even if he takes a step back, Mu Xu can keep his original intention unchanged, but what can his subordinates say, if someone is born with a heart of support, what can they do then? "

Zhao Ji was startled, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had too much say in this kind of thing, after all, since the Five Dynasties, this kind of thing happened frequently, and Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty through this.

"You mean, through the marriage between Fifth Sister and Mu Xu, you can win him over so that he won't feel rebellious?"

"Father, Emperor Mingjian, this son-in-law thinks exactly that."

Zhao Ji thought about it for a while, but didn't give a definite answer. He just continued to ask, "What's your second reason?"

"The second reason for my son is because of my father's love for licking the calf. As my son said just now, if my younger sister really has a reverie for Mu Xu, then I would like to beg my father for mercy as an elder brother." , can fulfill my younger sister and make her happy."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground and bowed three times. Anyone who looked at him at this time would think that this is a good brother who loves his sister.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Ji was really moved. He quickly pulled up his son, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, "My son has a deep brotherhood, and I am a father!"

After complimenting Zhao Kai for a good meal, Zhao Ji then murmured, "Now I don't know if Mu Xu has married a wife. I will ask Cai You to ask him later, so as not to make a joke."

Zhao Kai's eyes flashed, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to say, "Father, if you trust my minister, I would like to go to Mu Xu to ask him clearly, and by the way, try to persuade him to enter the court as soon as possible. In this way, father I will miss my sister in the future, and I can see her from time to time."

Zhao Ji was deeply moved by these words, and he has always loved the third son, so he never thought that there would be anything wrong with the prince making friends with foreign ministers, especially when this foreign minister was holding a heavy army, so he responded immediately this matter.

It is said that since Mu Xu sent Liang Shicheng and Li Huan away, he began to wait patiently at the mansion for Zhao Ji to be summoned, but unexpectedly he waited and waited, but he always did not see anyone from the palace.

Just when he was secretly wondering, thinking that Zhao Ji didn't know about this matter, he received an invitation from Yun Wang Zhao Kai.After opening the post, I found that it was Zhao Kai who invited him to come over to the house tomorrow.

Mu Xu immediately searched for the historical records about Zhao Kai in his mind.

According to the historical records of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kai was the third son of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao You, whose original name was Zhao Huan, and later changed his name to Zhao Kai.

He was clever since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he was favored by Zhao Ji, so that Zhao Ji moved the idea of ​​making him the prince many times.

If it hadn't been for the Jingkang Incident, which caused Zhao Ji to hastily pass on Zhao Huan in order to avoid disaster, Zhao Kai would most likely be the ninth emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhao Kai is also the person who has achieved the highest status of number one scholar since the imperial examinations began in Chinese history.

In the first year of Chonghe, he secretly took part in the imperial examination incognito. Because of his extraordinary literary talent, he was invincible all the way and entered the imperial examination.

He performed even better in the palace examination and won the first prize.After publishing the list, Zhao Kai told Zhao Ji the truth.While Zhao Ji was happy, he was afraid that scholars in the world would gossip, so he promoted Wang Ang, who was the second (second place) in the year, as the champion.

It's just that his ending was not good. During the Jingkang Incident, he and other royal family members were captured by the Jin people and taken to the North Kingdom. He died in Hanzhou in June of the fourth year of Jianyan at the age of [-].

After roughly recalling Zhao Kai's information, Mu Xu was really confused.Just because according to common sense, Zhao Kai is so favored by Zhao Ji, there is no need to associate with him, after all his identity is extremely sensitive.

Mu Xu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he told Le He his doubt.

After hearing this, Le He was a little unsure and said, "Could it be His Royal Highness, King Yun, who wants to win over the village master and plan for the future?"

Mu Xu scratched his head and said, "Is this possible? Instead of coming to win me over, he might as well think of a way with his father, so that his father can change him as the prince as soon as possible."

The two guessed for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the intention of this King Yun.Mu Xu simply stopped thinking about it, and said decisively, "Forget it, the soldiers come to cover the water and soil, anyway, in a few days, I will leave Tokyo, and I am not afraid of him playing tricks!"

So, in the afternoon of the next day, Mu Xu came to Prince Yun's Mansion at the foot of the imperial city as promised.

Zhao Kai, who wanted to win over Mu Xu, came out to receive the news as soon as he got the news, and welcomed Mu Xu into the mansion with a friendly attitude like an old friend for many years.

When passing by the front hall of King Yun's Mansion, Mu Xu saw the Fei Pavilion straddling the mansion and the imperial palace. While Mu Xu lamented that the rumors were true, he also had a deeper understanding of Zhao Ji's absurdity.

Among so many emperors throughout the ages, only Zhao Ji was able to do this kind of thing, just to make it convenient for his son to visit him at any time, he actually built a flying pavilion to connect the palace and the palace.

It is also thanks to the Northern Song Dynasty being destroyed by the Jin people, and Zhao Ji and his son are more timid.If not, with Zhao Ji's way of doing things, if there is no Song Dynasty version of Jiulong seizing the heir, then there will be ghosts.

Zhao Kai didn't know what Mu Xu was thinking, when he saw Mu Xu staring at Fei Ge, he immediately put on a smug expression, and said in a flaunting tone,
"This is the Flying Pavilion specially ordered by the father to build because he is afraid that the little king will not be able to enter the palace to pay his respects after the palace gate is locked."

Of course Mu Xu understood what Zhao Kai meant by saying this, it was nothing more than showing him how much his family was favored by Zhao Ji.

Seeing that Zhao Kai has no city, Mu Xu immediately figured it out, he might have thought it too complicated before, this guy is just a spoiled son, how can he have any foresight?
This time I invited myself here, I'm afraid it was really just to win over him.
