The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 356 Everything is ready
Zhao Kuangyin had just asked inadvertently if the child had a marriage contract. It was just an ordinary greeting, but now he has an idea.

Aren't you unmarried and have no marriage contract? Then I have a good idea. This idea is just a temporary thought. This thing was used by the emperors of all dynasties. He didn't think about it before, and now he is Zhao Kuangyin. Thought of this.

"Let me tell her a family relationship." Zhao Kuangyin's words made Zhang Lingduo believe that the emperor would match his sons and daughters.

The emperor said how much face it is for a matchmaker, since the emperor has spoken, even if there is a marriage contract, he has to say no.

On the other hand, the emperor said that the matchmaker's family must also be rich and powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be worthy of the emperor's actions, wouldn't it?

"Yes, yes, this is my little girl's honor, and my Zhang family's luck." Although Zhang Lingduo is a general with tens of thousands of people, he couldn't help being a little excited when his child was involved.

"You see, I want to marry you, what do you think?" Zhao Kuangyin's words were astonishing. Even Zhao Pu didn't expect the emperor to say such a sentence.

"My minister is willing, absolutely willing." Zhang Lingduo said excitedly, it is everyone's honor to be married to the royal family.

"However, the emperor's daughter is over the age of twenty-eight, and the princes are still young. Where did your marriage come from?"

The excited Zhang Lingduo calmed down. Everyone knew that the current emperor had four sons, and the eldest son was the current crown prince.

The second son, Teng Wang Zhao Dezhao.The third son, Zhao Delin, King of Yan.Fourth son, King Shu, Zhao Defang.

The oldest one is Zhao Xu, and the current crown prince is already twenty, and the second son, Zhao Dezhao, is only one year old.

Zhao Delin and Zhao Dezhao are about the same age, and Zhao Defang is still in her infancy, so why talk about marriage?

"Oh, what does brother Zhang think of the prince? To be honest, it's nothing to do with his own people."

Zhao Kuangyin directly carried Zhao Xu out, and Zhang Lingduo wondered if he wanted to marry his daughter to the prince.

"The prince is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and he is naturally unique in the world with both civil and military skills. The minister also admires the prince very much."

"Hahaha, since Brother Zhang thinks the prince is good in everything, what do you think if I asked him to be your son-in-law?"

Now Zhao Pu understands the emperor's intention, which is to tie Zhang Lingduo to his chariot.

"Ah, thank you Your Majesty for this, it's the minister who has climbed up, it's the minister who has climbed up, hehe." Zhang Lingduo is not stupid.

Zhao Xu is the next heir to the throne, that is, the future emperor. His own daughter will follow him, and even if she doesn't become a queen, she will become a concubine.

In that way, our Zhang family will also become relatives of the emperor and have a noble status, so he naturally agreed.

Besides, he is still worrying about his daughter's marriage. Now that such a big pie has fallen from the sky, is it too late for him to be happy?

"Brother, what you said is wrong. You and I are brothers. It has never changed. I said that we share blessings. Now your daughter will be my daughter-in-law. We will be closer and closer." gone."

Zhao Kuangyin spoke to Zhang Lingduo in a brotherly tone, not as an emperor.

Zhao Pu, who was playing soy sauce here, finally found a chance to speak, and it was finally his turn to play.

"Then the official is here to congratulate the emperor, congratulations to Mr. Zhang, when the time comes, the official will ask for a glass of wedding wine, hahaha."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, and I hope Mr. Zhao will come." Zhang Lingduo's face was already flushed before drinking.

Thinking about it, the Zhang family will also be relatives of the emperor in the future, and their status will naturally be different. Such a Zhang family can finally glorify their ancestors.

Zhao Kuangyin is now Zhang Lingduo's future in-laws, so of course he had a great time eating at Zhang's house.

Zhao Kuangyin was very relaxed, but Zhao Xu was not so relaxed now. He first ordered Zhang Qiong to strictly guard the inner palace.

At the same time, a thousand loyal and reliable Jinyiwei elites were urgently dispatched to the inner palace, which was a surprise.

Outsiders were not allowed to enter the inner palace, otherwise it would be a mess, even if Zhao Xu was the prince, he did not have such power.

However, Zhao Xu had Zhao Kuangyin's imperial decree in his hands, so it was much easier to handle. More than 1000 elite guards in Jinyi were scattered somewhere in the inner palace.

"General Zhang Qiong, I will give you a task now. From now on, no one in the palace is allowed to leave the palace. No matter how powerful he is, anyone who leaves the palace without the order of the emperor and me, kill!"

"Don't ask him who knows that they should not be released from the palace without a warrant signed jointly by the emperor and me. In short, you should remember one sentence, and the mosquitoes that have been guarding the inner palace will not even think about flying in."

"This subordinate respectfully obeys the Prince's order, and this subordinate will resign." Zhang Qiong has followed Zhao Kuangyin for many years, and he knows something more or less, so he will never ask more questions.

What you should know, you will definitely let yourself know, and what you should not know, it will not benefit you if you know it.

"In addition, I will let Dong Zhenhai assist you in the near future, you go down first."

After Zhao Xu gave his orders, he went back and changed into another set of clothes and went out. Then he went to his room in Taoxianglou, put on a mask and went straight to the military camp outside the city.

When Zhao Xu showed up at the barracks, he was stopped by someone. Zhao Xu finally took out Zhao Kuangyin's unique gold medal before walking in.

"How come General Gao doesn't even recognize me?" Looking at Gao Huailiang who was puzzled, Zhao Xu couldn't help joking.

"It turned out to be his prince, but why do you want to dress up like this? Doesn't it matter that you are holding the emperor's token this time?"

Gao Huailiang was stationed here. Zhao Xu trusted him very much, so he was transferred here soon.

Zhao Xu is still Gao Huailiang's most direct boss. No matter how he looks at it, he is a head taller than Gao Huailiang.

"Okay, don't ask me any more, I'll give you an order, and you'll keep an eye on the movement in the city, once a signal is sent from the tower, you'll just lead the army into the city, you know? Don't ask any more questions. .”

Zhao Xu gave Gao Huailiang an order in a very stern tone, and before leaving, he also said, the safety of the emperor and me will be entrusted to you.

Zhao Xu didn't go back directly, but came to a place where it was already dark, so he didn't know what else he was going to do.

There are simple houses here, which look like a slum. Zhao Xu came out not long after he went in.

When he came out and looked at the sky full of stars, he couldn't help but say:
"Everything is ready, the only thing we need is the east wind. I hope the winter wind will be stronger."
