Zhao Lin is in his forties this year.

In theory, a birthday party should be held.

However, after his father Zhao Fangde died, Zhao Lin should have been mourning, but fortunately the empress took over love and used it more. The reason was simple. She could not make the crown prince's biological father too humble.

Therefore, Zhao Lin has risen to the top for this period of time.

He was first transferred from the Imperial College to Zongzheng Temple. Not long after, he was promoted to fill the vacancy and served as Zongzheng Temple Minister.

The empress also made many excuses and slowly asked the doctor to be granted the title from the court. When Zhao Lin was appointed as the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, he was already a third-rank Yinqing Guanglu doctor.

His rapid promotion speed is second only to one person in Daliang today - Wang Zhushu.

Due to various reasons, Zhao Lin was unwilling to be this big student.

He knew in his heart that whether his family could take charge of Daliang in the future depends on the empress's intention. If he made a mistake and implicated his young son Zhao Zhen, the empress could completely depose Zhao Zhen and continue to select young children from the master to adopt them as adopted sons.

But Zhao Lin's son Zhao Jin didn't think so.

Today, the empress's heart is obvious.

Especially after inviting the god general to come out of Lin'an to pacify Shuzhong, everyone already understood that as long as the world was pacified, the empress would definitely follow the footsteps of Taizu of Dayan and Baili Chunxiang to see the world outside Daliang.

Maybe the empress will return.

But as long as the empress leaves Daliang, it is a chance for Zhao Shi.

During her departure from Daliang, if Zhao Shi was working together and had the ability to completely control the world, of course it would not be Zhao Zhen - after all, Zhao Zhen was too young.

Both Zhao Li and Zhao Sa have no descendants.

If the bloodline is pure, except for the younger brother Zhao Zhen, then Zhao Jin can only take on the important task.

And Zhao Jin is confident.

The empress was as powerful as the sun, and no one in the Zhaoshi dared to compete with her, but after the empress left, her confidants, such as Shu Xianggong, Ning Que, Xie Yun, etc., were all headless.

At that time, Zhao Shi raised his arms and shouted, and the world gathered, and those people could not be dealt with?

This situation will never change because Zhao Zhen was abolished. As long as there is still someone in Zhao's room and as long as the empress dares to leave Daliang, this situation may occur.

So Zhao Jin felt that his father Zhao Lin was too cowardly.

Now what Zhao Shi is worried about is no longer the empress destined to leave Daliang, but the sword of the empress, who is likely to be trained by the empress to become a minister of the country.

This child must be eliminated.

"But don't forget that Zhao Li once wanted to kill Li Ruyu, Yue Dan once wanted to kill Li Ruyu, and Wang Kun also wanted to kill him, Xizhao Mountain, Kaifeng, Lanshan Top and Saint Temple. After these several battles, Li Ruyu lived well. Besides, where did the people from our Zhaoshi come from? If you want to kill Li Ruyu, you must have the sword demon Dugu and others."

In the quiet study, Zhao Lin stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside, thinking about it.

Zhao Jin analyzed that he didn't know.

However, Li Ruyu is not so easy to kill, just because she is afraid that she will not lose her rice without stealing it.

At that time, I am afraid that Zhao Zhen’s position as crown prince will be compensated.

Standing behind Zhao Lin, Zhao Jin, just after his crown prince, originally planned to participate in the imperial examination, but after learning that his younger brother Zhao Zhen would be adopted by the empress as his adopted son and would be the crown prince of Daliang in the future, Zhao Jin gave up the idea of ​​the imperial examination.

Waste of time!

The empress definitely did not allow Zhao Zhen's brother to pass the imperial examination, and would not allow herself to enter the court center too early.

Zhao Jin saw this thoroughly.

The reason why the empress chose the young Zhao Zhen as her adopted son was nothing more than giving Zhao Shi a hope, but she used this hope to firmly restrain Zhao Shi - in order for Zhao Zhen to not lose the position of crown prince, Zhao Shi could only choose to cooperate with the empress.

And this is exactly the empress's abacus.

Zhao Zhen was young and would have to divide the government at least fifteen or sixteen years. This time was enough for the empress to go to the world outside Daliang before returning. During this period, Li Ruyu, whom she trained, would maintain power for her.

Zhao Jin actually understood his father's fear of his actions and laughed at him: "Don't worry, father, why should there be someone in the Zhao room? Why don't the Zhao room worry about no one? You must know that even if the woman in Zhang Kingdom is the one in Zhao room, the world is still in Zhao room, and the people in the world still regard Zhao room as the royal family."

Zhao Lin turned around and his eyes were bright, "You mean..."

Zhao Jin nodded with a smile: "Everyone knows that the empress wants to weaken the aristocratic family. From the 12th year of Yong'an to the first year of Yongzhen, many families died in the 16 states of Yanyun. Many young talents in the clan died in the war."

Zhao Lin nodded, "This is a fact, but so what can it do."

Zhao Jin gently stroked the jade pendant symbolizing the identity of a clan's family on his waist and said with a smile: "Don't forget, even in this year's Shu Rebellion, the civil strife of Zhenbei Army in the north, and the major families were still tortured. If the empress hadn't suddenly changed its mind and invited the godly general, the King of Western Chu, I'm afraid that more people would die from the major families. Until the aristocratic family fails to recover, the empress would choose to end the event."

Zhao Lin smiled bitterly, "However, the major families have no choice but to bear this ending. After all, among the three armies of the imperial guards, Tiance, Taiping and Fuyao, there are actually very few troops that are truly controlled by the aristocratic families."

There are even less control over Zhao Shi.

The commander of the Imperial Guards Tian Shun, Shu Xianggong, Su Wancheng, who was in charge of the Privy Council and the Taiping Army, and An Meiqin, who was in charge of Yuzhou, were actually the absolute confidants of the Empress.

There are actually only two people who really count the Zhao family: Zhao Xin, the commander of the Northern Fushima Office, and Zhao Jin, the commander of the Southern Fushima Office.

However, these two people are also the empress's confidants.

No one has ever doubted the loyalty of these two to the empress.

So over the years, the fangs of Zhao's chamber have been pulled out by the empress, and the empress has no offspring. Otherwise, the crown prince would not have the turn to Zhao Zhen. Not to mention Zhao Zhen, even Zhao Yan would not have to be foolish about it.

Just look at Zhao Changyi and you will know that if he doesn't rebel, the empress will surely support Zhao Changyi as the crown prince.

Zhao Jin pondered, rubbed the jade pendant around his waist with one hand, and then whispered softly: "The current plan is not to fight for military power under the empress's nose, nor to win over Chinese officials in the court, but to kill Li Ruyu."

Zhao Li smiled bitterly, "I know, but no one is available."

Who can kill Li Ruyu?

You should know that Li Ruyu is still in the Sword Demon City at this moment, and even the Sword Demon Dugu doesn't kill him, who can kill him? And you have to know that the poet's master of Li Ruyu's family has returned.

It was precisely because of the return of the poet's master that the empress decided to end.

Zhao Jin shook his head, "My father's words are wrong. My child said before, why do people need someone in the Zhao family? Why don't the Zhao family worry about no one? In fact, all the major families have masters, including strange people, such as the Shuangbi of Chen County, and the Xie Lang Mansion of the Xie family's Wanxi grandfather, there was once a Yuanqu in his house. His swordsmanship is not weak, and the Liu family in Hedong also has masters."

Zhao Li sighed, "Jin'er, you're probably thinking too much."

Xie Lang and Xie Yun from the Xie family of Chen County were not worried that the weak family of the empress would make the Xie family of Chen County devastated. Instead, they were happy to hear about it. Because of Xie Wanxi, no matter how much Xie was suppressed, it was limited.

Once Xie Wanxi will achieve great literary achievements, the Xie family in Chen County will likely be the only one among the world's families.

The influence of the Liu family in Hedong - the old prime minister Liu Zhengqing, is still there. During the Yanyun war between the 12th year of Yong'an and the first year of Yongzhen, several people in Hedong's Liu family died without changing their original intention.

These two aristocratic families will never stand on the side of Zhaoshi at present.

Zhao Jin nodded, "The children of these two aristocratic families do not expect, but father should not forget that there are more than these two families in Daliang. For example, the Langya Wang family, which is so weak, do not forget that there is a Langya Mountain in Longyou, where the Langya Wang family is located, and in Langya Mountain, there is once the largest swordsman sect in the world."

Zhao Lin was surprised: "Langya Sword Tomb?"

Zhao Jin nodded, feeling a little excited, "I would like to ask my father not to blame him. The child has contacted Wang Zi Qiao of Langya Wang family and the contemporary head of the Langya Sword Tomb. The conditions have been negotiated, and I just wait for my father to make the decision."

Zhao Lin took a deep breath. Although he was a little blamed Zhao Jin for his own actions, this was really good news. As a father, no one wanted to clear the obstacles to becoming the throne for Zhao Zhen than Zhao Lin, and asked: "What do they want?"

Zhao Jin whispered: "Langya Wang family, not much is needed. If the empress leaves Zhao Zhen of Daliang to ascend the throne, then the person in the country must be your father. At that time, you will be the left prime minister of the Daliang world and the prince Qiao of the Wang family of Langya. Just ask the central minister. In addition, the children of the Wang family of Langya can freely enter the Imperial College and the Imperial College to study, and borrow royal books. Whenever there is an imperial examination, the children of the Wang family of Langya will be in the middle of the imperial examination."

Zhao Lin nodded, not too much, "Where is the Langya Sword Tomb?"

Zhao Jin smiled, laughing and smirking: "What they want is simpler."

"What do you want?"

"Sword Demon and Sword Demon City."

Zhao Lin was shocked, "Do they still remember the grudges they had back then?"

Zhao Jin smiled, "After all, Dugu killed the Langya Sword Tomb Qinghuang, and their demands are reasonable, but for Zhao Shi, this demand is actually not difficult and difficult."

Zhao Lin nodded, it was indeed the case.

Not to mention whether the sword demon Dugu can be killed, but Zhao Shi will not be able to come forward with the identity of the sword demon Dugu.

The Sword Demon City was built by His Majesty Renzong.

From Renzong to Shunzong to Empress, the King of Zhaoshi has been secretly sponsoring the Sword Demon City. As soon as the Empress left, Zhaoshi started a surgery on the Sword Demon City. It was really not nice to spread.

Zhao Jin smiled and said, "It's not difficult to say it's difficult. At that time, the world will be certain. My younger brother Zhao Zhen's ascendance to the throne has become a certain thing. Our Zhao family only needs to send imperial guards to assist Langya Sword Tomb. And the child has a premonition that the sword demon Dugu may not be in Daliang for too long. At that time, the sword demon city will be in charge of the Fengcheng Lord. It's very difficult for Langya Sword Tomb, but you can try it."

After all, Lord Fengcheng is not the invincible sword demon Dugu.

Even if the Langya Sword Tomb was killed by the Lord Feng again and was not accepted by Qinghuang. As long as Zhao Zhen ascends the throne after Li Ruyu dies, the Langya Sword Tomb is actually insignificant.

Zhao Li thought it was indeed reasonable.

After being silent for a long time, thinking about the interests, he finally said hesitantly: "Can Prince Qiao of Langya Wang's family represent all Langya Wang's family? Can the head of Langya Sword Tomb really make the decision?"

Zhao Jin nodded, "Everything can."

He added: "Actually, the child has already verified that Prince Qiaoqiren is probably an alien, and the kind of alien of a very big background. His words and style are quite like an immortal."

"And the head of the Wu family's sword tomb is really Wu Shan's biological brother back then. He became a master of the Langya sword tomb in the early years. However, for many reasons, he has never been hidden in the world."

After all, the current head of the Wang family of Langya still has no confidence to kill Dugu.

Otherwise, I would have drawn my sword and cut it to the Sword Demon City.

Zhao Lin was still a little hesitant.

After all, this matter is extremely serious. If you accidentally lose the consequences, your father Zhao Fangde will die in vain. However, Li Ruyu is indeed the biggest variable on the way to ascend the throne by his son Zhao Zhen.

Without getting rid of Li Ruyu, let alone the status of his son Zhao Zhen, even the Zhao Shi may follow in the footsteps of the Murong clan of Dayan.
