Just when Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi were talking about wine, the entourage escorting the golden statue had already marched to the territory of Shudi......

Zhao Guangyi was not very surprised by the matter of Xiao Ren, at least not as fanatical as his brother Zhao Kuangyin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info From this, Zhao Kuangyin finally understood everything, so he lowered his head and said helplessly:

"I see, no wonder the Xiao people will know that the dragon robe you put on me 16 years ago is problematic, and the enemy surrendered without stubborn resistance, all this is your conspiracy, you have long been in collusion with the Xiao people. ”

The matter has come to this, and in the face of Zhao Kuangyin, who is about to return to his destiny, Zhao Guangyi has nothing to hide. Zhao Guangyi nodded and said:

"The younger brother is ashamed of the imperial brother, although the strategy 16 years ago was conspired by the younger brother and Zhao Pu, in fact, he met a strange man on the way to patrol the mountains, and he was inspired by other places. At that time, the younger brother already knew about the existence of the Xiao people, but he was not as deceived by it as the imperial brother. ”

"Confused, are you saying that I am too scruples about Xiao people?" asked Zhao Kuangyin.

"It's not scruples, it's that the ambition of the people is too long to destroy their prestige. I am a dignified Song Dynasty, I want to have soldiers, and the unification of the world is just around the corner, how can it be as vulnerable as Xiao people said.

There is no shortage of miracles in this world, but in the final analysis, it is just some tricks, Brother Huang, you have galloped all your life, how could you easily fall for the tricks of the Xiao people. ”

"So, brother, do you not believe what I said, do you believe that Xiao Ren does have the ability to subvert the Song Dynasty and support a new dynasty?" Zhao Kuangyin asked again.

Zhao Guangyi replied resolutely: "I don't believe it!"

"Then let me ask you, are you poisoned in this pot of wine? When I finish drinking this wine, tomorrow morning, I should die. ”

After speaking, knowing that the wine was poisonous, Zhao Kuangyin still raised the cup, dried it at Zhao Guangyi, and drank it all. Zhao Guangyi's eyes were full of tears, but if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan, so he did not dissuade Zhao Kuangyin's "suicide" behavior, but bit his lip and endured the pain:

"Since the imperial brother knows that this wine is poisonous, why does he insist on drinking it?"

Zhao Kuangyin put down the wine glass and said, "Do you know why I know that this wine is poisonous?"

"Could it be that the minister's expression or words are inappropriately exposed?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head: "No, Xiao Ren predicted that tonight is my death." In this deep palace, how could I lose my life without an assassin. So, once you admit that there is poison in this wine, the prophecy of the Xiao people will come true. ”

Then, Xiao Ren's prophecy really came true, because the wine was indeed unknowingly poisoned by Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi couldn't understand and said, "Brother Huang, you are risking your life so much, is it just to prove to me that Xiao Ren is powerful?"

Zhao Kuangyin coughed for a long time and said:

"Xiao people are not powerful, and those who have tried have their own judgment.

Drinking this cup of poisonous wine, I am not to prove anything, but to remind your subordinates that after becoming the emperor, the glory and wealth of brocade clothes and jade food are not just passing by, and it is the greatest responsibility and mission of the emperor to protect my great Song Dynasty and make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Li Shimin, the founding ancestor of the legendary empire Li Tang, said that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and you are good at scheming, but you must remember that the means are used to deal with thugs who want to destroy the stability of the country, not against your own people or your own subjects, otherwise you will have to follow in the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty, and it will flourish and decline.

If you go against the grain and are hated by the people, then you don't need Xiao Ren to make a move, and there will be a puppet who will pull the Great Song Dynasty to hell under the anger of the heavens, and you will just fall into the prophecy of Xiao Ren!"

Zhao Guangyi raised his head in shame: "Brother Huang said that you plan to pass the throne to your brother?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled sickly:

"My brother sent me to the throne at the age of 22, and I am always grateful, and besides, I also promised the Empress Dowager Du to pass on the throne to you. When the Queen Mother entrusted me, my brother was also there, wasn't it?

Therefore, the ministers should remember my words, be less suspicious and deliberate, and work more to benefit the people......"

At this point in the dialogue, in the face of his brother Zhao Kuangyin's benevolence and righteousness, Zhao Guangyi was already crying bitterly.

He understood Zhao Kuangyin's intention to drink it all in one go, knowing that he was holding poisonous wine in his hand. It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to use his life with only a few days left to teach Zhao Guangyi the most unforgettable lesson in his life, so that he remembered to be a good emperor. Zhao Kuangyin sacrificed himself for the country so much, so that Zhao Guangyi, who had exhausted his scheming, was embarrassed.

So that night, Zhao Guangyi, under the enlightenment of his imperial brother, retreated from impetuousness and blind arrogance, and was determined to be a good emperor with hard work in a down-to-earth manner. At the same time, he no longer sneered at Xiao Ren, and humbly listened to Zhao Kuangyin's arrangement.

Zhao Kuangyin finally explained to Zhao Guangyi, and asked Zhao Guangyi to do what Xiao Ren said, whether it was to help Zhao Kuangyin complete his unfulfilled wishes, to find out the details of Xiao Ren for Zhao Kuangyin, so as to give Zhao Kuangyin a consolation in front of the imperial mausoleum, or for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, he must do what Xiao Ren said.

Zhao Kuangyin also said that the nine golden statues were already on their way to Guizhou, and they would be sent back to the cave in the near future.

When Xiao Ren left, he said that the golden statue would turn into nine walnut-sized seeds after being burned by fire for at least seven hundred and forty-nine days, and after the seeds were born, the imperial court had to send special personnel to escort the 37 entourages who had personally escorted the golden statues, and sent the nine seeds to nine designated places. Once you arrive, you can hand over the seeds to someone who is already waiting at the designated location.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin also made other calculations, because he couldn't blindly obey Xiao Ren's words.

So Zhao Kuangyin wrote down the nine locations on paper, and stuffed the note to Zhao Guangyi on the night of drinking, and then told him that the nine places on the paper, except for the three locations in Guizhou Longsuzhai Village, Kunlun Mountain, and Mount Everest in China, the remaining six locations have never been heard of.

Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Guangyi to be cautious in his words and deeds after his death, and to quietly send nine groups of capable people to the Xiao people in advance, and arrive at the designated place before the seeds were born and sent to the destination, so as to find out the details of the people who received them, and by the way, they should meet the entourage who escorted the seeds.

In addition, when Zhao Kuangyin was in a cave in the hinterland of the Xiao people in Guizhou, he found a stone engraved with an exotic script, and chiseled it back completely, and now it is placed in the dark compartment of the national treasury. So Zhao Kuangyin also asked Zhao Guangyi to find someone to translate those words at any cost and see what was written, maybe it will become the key to solving the mystery of Xiao Ren and finding out its details......

Zhao Guangyi agreed to all of Zhao Kuangyin's requests, and the wine game ended.

After returning to the dormitory, Zhao Kuangyin responded to Xiaoren's prophecy and died of poison in the house at the age of 50.
