I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 405 So that’s it
Not long after Zhao Heng and Liu Wan left, Zhao Yuanyan, the Prince of Jing, who was famous in history, came to the Prince of Han's Palace.

He came not for anything else but to enter Zhao Pan'er into the Zhao family genealogy.

This also means that Zhao Pan'er officially became the mistress of Prince Han's Mansion.

Afterwards, Zhao Wei called all the people in the palace to introduce them to Zhao Pan'er. Except for Zhao Huai'en, Xiu Yin and some other people, Zhao Pan'er was meeting these people for the first time, so she did not act like a princess, but chatted with everyone in a very amiable manner.

From a merchant girl to the princess of the royal palace, the leap was huge. Fortunately, Zhao Pan'er had a good family background when she was a child. Even though she was later demoted to a slave, she was arranged to learn accounting and management. In addition, she was smart, so she was able to keep stable.

After a few days, Zhao Pan'er had gradually gotten used to the life in the palace. She could feel that some servants in the palace seemed respectful to her, but were actually quite dissatisfied with her.

Especially some relatively newcomers, they were talking about her in private.

Zhao Pan'er is kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean she has no temper. It's just that she has just married into the palace, so she didn't do anything. However, she knows what's going on and has kept some people in her heart.

Of course, she would not mention these things in the backyard to Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wei did not ask about it. He knew very well that as long as he loved and valued Zhao Pan'er enough, Zhao Pan'er's status and majesty in the palace would become higher and higher. As for the rest, he believed that Zhao Pan'er could handle it.

This was indeed the case. In just one month, everyone in the palace had already convinced Zhao Pan'er. In terms of her reputation in the Prince of Han's Palace, she was second only to Zhao Wei, and she became the true Princess of Han.

Prince Han's Palace.

Zhao Wei, who was enjoying Zhao Pan'er undressing, suddenly felt his right eye twitch uncontrollably. A bad premonition surged from the bottom of his heart and his expression changed involuntarily.

Right eye twitching?

Haha, it’s all superstition!

"Is your Excellency feeling unwell?"

Noticing something was wrong with Zhao Wei, Zhao Pan'er raised her little hand with concern and placed it on Zhao Wei's forehead.

"How could that be? My husband's physique is not to be called indestructible, but it can be called as strong as steel. How could he be uncomfortable?"

"But before that, sir..."

"Saying you're not feeling well is just an excuse for not attending court."

Previously, Zhao Wei was under house arrest by Zhao Heng's order. After the ban was lifted, he used poor health as an excuse to avoid attending court. Although he said it as a matter of course now, he still felt a little embarrassed.

"The official is always like this. I'm afraid the official and the queen will be unhappy."

As a married woman, Zhao Pan'er naturally worries about Zhao Wei in every aspect.

Zhao Wei couldn't help but smile. If Zhao Pan'er knew Zhao Heng's character, she probably wouldn't say that.

"Don't worry, Father is not what you think. Let's go to bed early."

After saying that, a sinister big hand reached out to the belt around Zhao Paner's waist.

They have been married for more than a month, and apart from the inconveniences, the two have been in love. Zhao Pan'er has also witnessed Zhao Wei's extraordinary talents.

She felt that if she continued like this, she would be ruined sooner or later, so sometimes when facing Zhao Wei, she had to refuse.

Originally, she was worried that Zhao Wei would be unhappy, but who knew that Zhao Wei didn't care at all. Instead, he felt very sympathetic towards her and tried his best to restrain himself and give her time to rest.

As she had been resting the past few days, Zhao Pan'er just called him "sir" with shy eyes and let Zhao Wei undress her.

It was the hottest time of summer, and the air was dry and stuffy. If water was not put in the house to moisten the air, people would feel dry mouth and tongue. Zhao Pan'er was woken up by the dryness several times. Helplessly, Zhao Wei personally sprinkled some water in the house to moisten the air. The two finally fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, the sun rose three poles.

Zhao Wei rubbed his sore waist and stretched his muscles.

Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes, the ancients never deceived him.

This feeling of depravity is so good!

As for Zhao Pan'er, she didn't come out of the room until almost noon, and during lunch, she didn't dare to look Zhao Wei in the eye.

I was so miserable last night that I was afraid that my husband would laugh at me to death.

Zhao Wei just didn't know what she was thinking. If he knew, he would just say that it was all normal.

Newlyweds, young people, understand everything.

It is normal for young people to like sports. When they get older and want to exercise, their bodies may not allow it. Now he enjoys the happiness that sports bring him.

After lunch, Zhao Pan'er was about to sort out the account books of the palace, but Shuangxi came in hurriedly and handed Zhao Pan'er a note.

The post was left by Chi Pan because Yong'an Building was about to open, and Chi Pan invited Zhao Pan'er to attend the opening ceremony.

Zhao Pan'er read the invitation and was silent for a moment before saying, "Write a letter to Chi Pan and tell him about the Yong'an Building. You don't need to tell me about it in the future. I'm busy lately. If I can spare the time, I will consider going."

This was actually a polite refusal, and Zhao Wei could naturally hear it, because he didn't expect Zhao Pan'er to give up her career. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "You don't care about the restaurant's business?"

"Well, I've already explained everything about the restaurant to Sanniang and Yinzhang. I won't be involved in matters over there anymore."

"Are you willing to?"

Zhao Pan'er smiled and said softly, "There's nothing to be reluctant about. Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. What's more, marrying Your Highness is the luckiest thing in my life. Compared with Your Highness, everything else is not important."

"You have such a sweet mouth." Zhao Wei smiled and couldn't help but taste the rouge on Zhao Paner's lips.

"There are so many people watching." Zhao Pan'er said with a coquettish voice, "In fact, I agreed to open a restaurant with Chi Pan not for myself, but for Sanniang, Yinzhang, and Zhaodi. Especially Sanniang, although she has skills, I don't want to see her running around for a living, so I opened a restaurant with Chi Pan so that she can have a place to settle down."

Zhao Pan'er no longer needs to worry about Song Yinzhang, because Song Yinzhang had exchanged birth dates with Xiang You not long ago. They will only wait until Zhao Huai'en and Zhang Haohao get married before holding the wedding.

In other words, even without Yong'an Tower, Song Yinzhang could still live a good life.

Zhao Wei doted on the tip of Zhao Pan'er's nose and said, "You always think about others, but they are not children anymore. Even without your help, they may not live badly."

"We are sisters, and Sanniang and Yinzhang came to Tokyo with me, so of course I have to consider them more." Zhao Pan'er said, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, do you think I am meddling too much?"

"No, you did very well. I am very happy that you can consider Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang so carefully. After all, you have given so much for them. Now that you have become my wife, you will definitely consider me more in the future."

As he was speaking, Zhao Huai'en hurried in again.

Seeing that his face looked quite solemn, Zhao Paner knew that something had happened, and it was a big deal.

In fact, it was not beyond her expectation. She only heard Zhao Huai'en said in a deep voice: "Master, there is an urgent report from the border. The Dingnan Army is gathering and seems to be preparing to invade the border."

Zhao Wei was stunned and asked, "Why did Li Deming suddenly cross the border?"

Zhao Huai'en was silent for a moment, and said with a bit of a smile: "Earlier, the news of the family head's wedding spread to the border. Jun Xin led his army to kill 10,000 Dangxiang people and congratulated you on your wedding. This pissed off Li Deming."

Zhao Wei was stunned again, but he didn't blame Li Junxin for taking the initiative to provoke a war. He just asked, "How long will it take for this news to reach the capital?" The news from Prince Han's Mansion is faster, at least the news from the northwest is faster than the regular channels, so Zhao Wei asked this question.

Zhao Huai'en thought for a moment and replied, "The Dingnan Army may only violate the border. It is impossible to rush 800 miles. It will probably take another five or six days."

Zhao Wei nodded and turned to look at Zhao Paner.

Before he could speak, Zhao Pan'er said, "Your Highness, business is more important. Go and get busy. I have to get busy too."

She is now the princess consort of the Prince of Han's Mansion. Although she has elders above her, neither Zhao Heng nor Liu Wan can take care of the affairs of the Prince of Han's Mansion. Therefore, everything in the palace needs to be managed personally by her, the princess consort.

Long before I married into the palace, I knew that it was very big and there would be a lot of things to do. Managing such a large palace was not an easy task.

But it was not until she actually came into contact with the affairs of the palace that she realized how big the Han Palace was.

It took her a month to sort out the accounts of the properties under the name of the palace alone, not to mention that there were other things that required her to familiarize herself with and take charge of.

On the other side, Zhao Wei and Zhao Huai'en had a brief discussion and then went straight into the palace.

Since I can't hide it anymore, I'll just reveal the truth to Zhao Heng.

Li Junxin took the initiative to provoke a war at the border. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, he must be punished. However, Zhao Wei had to protect Li Junxin no matter what.

Then the best way to save Li Junxin is to destroy the Dingnan Army and recover the homeland in the northwest. In this way, Li Junxin will not only be innocent but also meritorious.

And about sending troops, Zhao Heng must be informed.

As for whether Zhao Heng supported it, it was actually not important to Zhao Wei, because he had already decided to go to the northwest and lead his army to personally attack the Dingnan Army.

However, to Zhao Wei's surprise, Zhao Heng did not object.

Not only did he not oppose it, but he showed support. Although he would not send troops to Zhao Wei, he gave him military and political power over the three northwestern states.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Zhao Wei can destroy the Dingnan Army, otherwise Zhao Heng will be held accountable.

[Are you surprised that Emperor Zhenzong of Song suddenly changed his weak attitude and supported you in going to war? ]

Coming out of the Wende Hall, the voice of the system suddenly rang in his mind, causing Zhao Wei to pause, and then he began to communicate silently with the system.

"Is it your fault?"

[How can you say it was a trick? This system just made him have a dream when he was unconscious.]

"What kind of dream can make my old father change his weak attitude?"

【The Shame of Jingkang. 】

"I see. I was wondering why he suddenly followed my wishes and suppressed the peace faction and promoted the war faction. Thank you, Brother Tongzi."

Although Zhao Heng believed in Taoism, he was not stupid. For example, he did not believe in the case of the hat monster, but dreams are different from actual cases.

As the saying goes: It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Moreover, the Jingkang Shame was something that no emperor could tolerate, so it was reasonable for Zhao Heng to change his mind.

Just as I was thinking about it, a shout suddenly came from the palace gate.

"Your Highness the King of Han."

When Zhao Wei heard the voice, he looked and saw Guo Qiming, the commander of the Palace Guard, standing at the palace gate in a purple robe, looking at him with a smile.

"Commander Guo, it's so late, are you going to the palace?"

Guo Qiming shook his head: "No, I just got off duty and heard that Your Highness had entered the palace, so I am waiting for Your Highness here."

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing, I just have a banquet at the Music Bureau. I wonder if Your Highness is free tonight?"

There was nothing wrong, but in fact there was something wrong. Even Zhao Wei could roughly guess why Guo Qiming was looking for him.

Speaking of which, it was all caused by the case of Xiao Qinyan being assassinated.

Originally, as the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Department, Guo Qiming had absolute power and was the final say in the department.

But since the assassination of Xiao Qinyan, everything changed. The deputy commander-in-chief and the chief military officer under him were both thrown into prison. Although he himself was not arrested, he was also punished by Zhao Heng.

Although Guo Qiming did not collude with Qi Mu and other Qingliu people, in fact, as the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Division, how could he not know anything about the actions of his subordinates? He just didn't care.

For Guo Qiming, it doesn't make much difference whether Xiao Qinyan comes to power or the Qingliu lineage continues to be strong, so let them fight if they want. Anyway, he is directly under the official Zhao Heng, and whoever comes to power will not affect him, but will win him over.

But what he didn't expect was that the people of the Qingliu lineage would be so stupid. They would have assassinated him, but they actually let the people from the Dianqian Division do it. In the end, not only did they fail, but everything was exposed.

In the end, the Qingliu lineage wanted to distance themselves from the matter, but the Dianqian Division couldn't do so.

So he had to take the blame whether he wanted to or not, but fortunately, he was fined in the end. He was only fined and sent to reflect on his mistakes. He was just released recently after completing the reflection period.

However, what Guo Qiming didn't know was that Zhao Heng was really angry about the collusion between the Dianqian Division and the Qingliu officials this time, and he took ruthless action. During the short period of time when Guo Qiming was reflecting on his mistakes, he transferred many of his confidants out of the Dianqian Division. Now, there are no longer any of his confidants in the Dianqian Division, and the Dianqian Division is no longer his.

More importantly, due to the collusion between the Palace Front Department and the Qingliu, Guo Qiming, the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Department, was excluded by the officials of the Houdang faction. The Qingliu officials, because Qi Mu and others were successively convicted and exiled, were even more resentful of him. In addition, Guo Qiming was an official of the peace faction and was not accepted by the pro-war faction. As a result, he is now almost hated by everyone in the court.

If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before everyone condemns him.

When he reaches the point where everyone is calling for his death, what awaits him is the confiscation of his property and exile.

After all, no official is clean. Even Ke Zheng can be found to have some problems to a certain extent, not to mention Guo Qiming.

In order to avoid having his property confiscated and being exiled, Guo Qiming has only two options: either obtain Zhao Heng's forgiveness or gain acceptance from a force in the court.

It is impossible to obtain Zhao Heng's forgiveness in a short period of time, but he cannot afford to wait for a long time.

Therefore, Guo Qiming actually has only one way, which is to gain the acceptance of a force in the court.

Given the Qingliu clan's attitude of wishing him dead, there was no way they would accept him.

The Houdang faction did have the intention, but due to its bad reputation, Guo Qiming never considered the Houdang.

Then, among the remaining parties in the court, the only one capable of protecting him is the King of Han's party.

Zhao Wei was silent for a moment, but finally agreed to it.

"When I return home and change into my regular clothes, we'll meet at the Jiaofangsi."

"Yes, I am waiting for your arrival at the Jiaofangsi."
