According to Luo Xiao's letter, the war in the northwest did not matter at all. It was unnecessary for the emperor to ask the capital not to allow entertainment. It was a fuss.

The emperor did this only to create momentum for the commander in the northwest, giving people the impression that the war was tight and the commander was brave.

The success report was sent to the capital by express horse, and all the people praised Zhao Hao as a handsome man of the time, not inferior to Luo Xiao. This spread to Qingning ears, Qingning gas fell several cups.

Concubine Zhou told people to sweep the fragments so as not to hurt Qingning. This really made people angry. When she first heard it, she could not help holding her handkerchief tightly and wanted to go out and argue with others. How could Zhao Hao be compared with her own prince!

Now the imperial concubine of Zhou side has calmed down. It's just a trick the emperor deliberately used. There's no need to be serious: "why should the princess be angry? It's not worthwhile to hurt herself."

"It seems that the Zhao family is really going to get up." Qingning gas after it's all right, Zhou side imperial concubine said right, not worth it. However, the emperor wanted to praise the Zhao family. The Zhao family is one of the seven great families, only ranking last among the seven. But such a huge family will not have no smart people. As long as they seize the opportunity, it is certain that their strength will be enhanced.

"Yes, it's said that the emperor praised the fifth Prince for his intelligence and intelligence in the palace today, and his temperament is very similar to that of his father."

Qingning smile: "this is the emperor want to make a tripartite confrontation, three princes fight between the more severe can not shake his throne, triangle is the most stable."

The reason why the emperor chose the fifth Prince is that the fifth Prince is only nine years old this year. Nine years old means that things can't be done yet. Now the emperor doesn't like the elder Prince very much. He feels the pressure from his sons and doesn't want to get down from the highest position. Therefore, he has been deliberately alienating the elder second and third princes all this year.

More importantly, the fifth Prince's mother family is the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family is not as good as the Xiao family and the Zhang family, it is also a big family. With a little help, it is not impossible to fight with the other two families.

Imperial concubine Zhou made a new cup of tea for Qingning. She held it in front of Qingning and said, "the tea that the prince specially sent from the south is not the same as it used to be. Princess, try it."

Qingning sipped a mouthful, sweet mouth, no bitter, doubt: "side imperial concubine in the sugar?"

"It's the original taste of the tea. The Lord knows that you like sweets best, so he thinks you should like them."

Qingning slightly embarrassed, his reputation as a glutton of sweets is no less than luoqian, who loves delicious food.

"Father really wants to watch the Zhao family get up? As far as I know, all the generals of the Zhao family had disagreements with their father in military affairs. I was just worried that when the Zhao family got up, they would get into trouble with their father. " The Zhao family is the only one of the seven families that is famous for its bravery rather than its profound culture and strategy.

The Zhao family is proud of their tactical and military achievements. There are many capable people in the Zhao family who hold important positions in the army. Later, Luo Xiao appeared. The Zhao family can't bear to see Luo Xiao become a commander-in-chief when he was young, and also cultivated many close friends. Luo Xiao's cronies squeezed out many positions in the army, so the Zhao family would fight Luo Xiao.

The rise of one side represents that other forces need to give up a lot of interests. Naturally, they will not agree. Anyway, their father is not in the capital, so let them fight first.
