Zhao Guangyi had all kinds of grindings along the way, and in each place he went, he also had a feast with the local magistrates and various celebrities and gentry, and drank and talked happily. In this way, I walked all the way and played half-way, and it took almost two months to reach Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The world knows that the king of Jin made immortal contributions to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it only took a hard battle to subdue Houshu, the richest of the surrounding countries. And because of Zhao Guangyi's behavior of putting down his body and "befriending" people at all levels along the way, everyone felt that His Royal Highness the King of Jin was not only extremely intelligent, but also approachable and friendly to his own family, so they regarded themselves as supporters of King Jin. After a period of fermentation, Zhao Guangyi has not yet arrived in Bianjing, and his fame has reached its peak, and no one can shake it.

The wealthy families in Bianjing realized that Zhao Guangyi's status in the court was about to become pivotal, and it was no longer the previous situation of being rich but not necessarily powerful, so they all went through their unmarried girls and began to open up various relationships to see if they could achieve family marriage. The girls of ordinary families didn't dare to be delusional, and they were all in the mood of a deer bumping into each other, looking forward to seeing them in the crowd when His Royal Highness King Jin returned to Beijing.

Zhang Ye, Meng Chang, and Xu Rui knew the reason for the matter through qi, so they turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, and Zhao Guangyi made a fuss. After all, it was the agreement reached between Zhao Guangyi and Shu, and he was proud, and it was also good for Shu. What Shu needs now is to keep a low profile, so he gave his reputation to Zhao Guangyi, and he just took the lizi himself.

Only Daniel Zhang, who was forcibly brought back from Jianmen Pass by Zhao Guangyi, felt that it was inappropriate, but it was useless. He only raised his opinion to Zhao Guangyi once, and he was isolated, and he never saw Zhao Guangyi again. He had no choice but to secretly send a secret letter to Zhao Kuangyin.

When Zhao Kuangyin received the secret letter, he understood the trick, is this younger brother messing with himself? He looked at the soothing incense rising from the beast-headed copper incense burner on the side of the imperial study, and shook his head with a wry smile. After thinking about it for a while, he still tidied up his clothes and went to Yanfu Palace.

Empress Dowager Du was eating bird's nest white fungus lotus seed soup in a Yuan blue and white porcelain bowl under the service of greenery, and when she heard the report from her subordinates, she ignored it and continued to drink the soup slowly. When Zhao Kuangyin came to the palace, he saw his mother with a cold face, didn't care about himself at all, and ate his own by himself, and suddenly felt very helpless.

"Mother, the child came this time with news of Tingyi. He was already on his way back, and he also brought back the book of descent from Shu. Zhao Kuangyin put on a smile on his face and said in a happy tone as much as possible.

"Really? My poor Tingyi, if he wasn't capable, maybe he wouldn't be able to come back this time. Someone else has an emperor's brother, who has been prosperous and prosperous all his life, and enjoys peace, but my Tingyi still has to take risks everywhere. Why is this kid so miserable! Empress Dowager Du's eyes turned red as she spoke, and her voice was a little choked.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty also has his own hardships!" Luyi wants to see that Empress Dowager Du is going to lose her temper with Zhao Kuangyin again, and she is busy persuading softly.

"Shut up! Hongu is talking to His Majesty, when will it be your turn to interject? Hearing this, Empress Dowager Du said angrily and glared at Lu Yi fiercely.

This girl was deliberately left by her side and watched her grow up. She has always been more sensible, but today she rashly exceeded the rules, and Empress Dowager Du immediately knew her thoughts. I couldn't help but feel a little more angry in my heart. There is no other reason, just because she is the daughter of the Chai family, the child of the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Shizong and a palace girl. Lu Yi was originally a concubine, her mother gave birth to her, and the queen of the Later Zhou Dynasty at that time was more jealous, so she was not raised as a royal child, and she was still in the harem as a transparent person, and no one taught her or told her anything. Unexpectedly, the descendants of the Chai family were thin, and in the end, only her daughter was left, so it became important. Empress Dowager Du originally planned to promise her to her second son Zhao Guangyi.

Although the Chai family retired to enjoy Qingfu, the Zhao family's country was obtained from them after all, although they did not ask about political affairs on the surface, they must have some secret power in their hands. Empress Dowager Du wanted her youngest son to inherit these. But now it seems that it is not easy to do. Empress Dowager Du's original plan fell through, and her heart became more and more unhappy.

Lu Yi didn't know that she was the only daughter of the Chai family. She has been kept in the palace for as long as she can remember. When he was a little older, he was directly arranged to work beside the Queen Mother. The queen mother has always been very good to her, a little palace maid, and sometimes she feels like she treats her own juniors. Other palace maids were very envious of her, saying that she was lucky and had not suffered any hardships in this palace. She also often secretly rejoices.

This is the first time that Luyi has been scolded by the Empress Dowager Du, although he spoke inappropriately first, but it is also a good intention, and he doesn't want the Queen Mother and His Majesty to be separated from each other. I still feel very aggrieved in my heart. Immediately, he stopped talking, tears swirling in his eyes, as if they were about to fall.

Zhao Kuangyin saw that Lu Yi was scolded because of himself, and his heart was a little unbearable. But now whatever he says will only add fuel to the fire and make her mother even more angry. So he didn't say anything, just cast a reassuring look at Luyi.

"Mother, Tingyi is my younger brother, of course I think about him. Just ......"

"It's just that the state affairs are current, and the overall situation is important, you can't take care of him, right? You are the emperor, you have everything, but your brother has suffered so much since he was a child, can you think more about him? ”

Empress Dowager Du coldly interrupted Zhao Kuangyin's words, turned her back and walked towards the apse, unwilling to look at him again.

"Mother......" Zhao Kuangyin wanted to persuade again, but found that his mother ignored him completely, so he sighed helplessly and stood alone in place.

"Queen Mother, just listen to Your Majesty say a few more words! He loves His Royal Highness King Jin very much on weekdays......" Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's lonely figure, Lu Yi couldn't help but run forward and persuade the Empress Dowager Du.

", is this what you should say?" Empress Dowager Du stood still, her eyes were like knives, cold and indifferent, and she squinted at the green road. She didn't want to be so angry today, she just wanted to give the boss a dismissal and let him compensate for her younger son. The changes caused by the greenery are the root of her real anger.

"Mother's anger, slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "Lu Yi has only seen such a look when Empress Dowager Du dealt with the palace people who made a big mistake, she has never looked at herself with such eyes, and she immediately felt that her legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly. Although Empress Dowager Du usually looks amiable, her means of dealing with palace people are still very sharp.

"Go to the gate of the palace and kneel for a day, if you make a mistake next time, don't blame the palace for not giving you a chance." In the end, she grew up watching herself, and her identity is special, and it is impossible for Empress Dowager Du to really want her life now. So when she saw Luyi kneeling on the ground, she relented.

Anyway, they are all their own sons, although Empress Dowager Du feels more sorry for her younger son. Because she doesn't like her eldest daughter-in-law, she also doesn't like her eldest son and grandson very much, so she has been planning for her younger son with all her heart. But the twisted melon is not sweet, and the boss is also his own in the end. Green Yi wants to follow him, so give it to him.

"Slave, thank you, Queen Mother!" Lu Yi did not know the psychological activities of Empress Dowager Du. When she heard that the Queen Mother was relieved, she was extremely happy in her heart, and kowtowed excitedly.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was not far away, looked at the greenery on the ground, and a touch of deep thought appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Guangyizhi returned to Bianjing triumphantly and was warmly welcomed by the vast number of subjects of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was originally the king of Jin, and he couldn't go up again, but he used to be a vain prince, and now he is a prince who has mastered a huge number of elite soldiers, which is naturally very different from before. In the past, most of the people around him were gentlemen, and his words in the court were always refuted by various means, but now he is full of words, and even those real power in the court have to pay attention to his opinions.

The spring breeze is proud. Within a few days, Zhao Guangyi was called to the palace by the Empress Dowager Du.

"Mother, you see, this is the osmanthus cake I made for you. Although it doesn't look good, the taste is okay, you can't dislike it! ”

As soon as Zhao Guangyi saw the Empress Dowager Du, he lost his solemn and steady appearance on weekdays, and became a young man who jumped out, half coquettish and half inviting merit. He wouldn't tell Empress Dowager Du that he just took the mold and made a mold, and the rest of the process was done by the chef in the house.

"You are all the king of Jin, just leave this kind of thing to the subordinates, where is the use of doing it yourself! Lost identity. Empress Dowager Du's mouth was disgusted, but her face was full of doting and kind smiles.

"A son is filial to his mother, what is there to lose his identity? By the way, is there something wrong with my mother calling me today? Zhao Guangyi's mouth was like smeared with honey, and he could coax the Empress Dowager Du to bloom every time.

"What else could it be? Of course it's your marriage. The mother chose a few of the best. Do you see which one is your favorite? This time, Mother must pick a good one for you. Empress Dowager Du said, took out the portraits of several girls, and introduced them to Zhao Guangyi one by one.

The eldest son is the emperor, and he is a little estranged from everyone. The eldest daughter-in-law didn't get along well with her, and she didn't even get so close to her with a few grandchildren. Empress Dowager Du has not been depressed, but after a long time, she has seen it and only loves her youngest son. He is so well-behaved and lovely, he must choose a good daughter-in-law for him. You can't be like the old guys.

"Whichever mother likes, I like. What's optional for this. Zhao Guangyi said without thinking.

"You~ The daughter-in-law married back to live with you, not with the mother, of course you have to like it!" Empress Dowager Du said this, but her face smiled happily for her son to be so filial.

"Daughter-in-law who can't please her mother, why should I marry back! I just want you to like it. I don't like anything you don't like. ”

"Okay, good, know that you are filial. But you should take a look! If you like them all, your mother will marry you back. Empress Dowager Du felt that her youngest son was simply caring everywhere, and couldn't help but be more concerned about his marriage.

"Mother will do it! Your opinion is my opinion! Zhao Guangyi pushed a pile of portraits in front of him to the Empress Dowager Du, "If you don't like it, take your time." I'm not in a hurry either. ”

"Nonsense! You're such a big person, you have to have someone around you to do it. It's a pity, the greenery that was originally prepared for you was ......," Empress Dowager Du couldn't help but sigh.

In the eyes of Empress Dowager Du, her youngest son is extremely well-behaved. He didn't arrange someone for him, and he didn't know how to take care of himself by himself. So I have to give him a little more care.

"What's wrong with Greenery?" Zhao Guangyi saw that his mother suddenly mentioned the green, and only then did he remember that he hadn't seen her when he came back this time.

"I gave her to your big brother."

This kind of thing that will lead to estrangement between brothers, Empress Dowager Du didn't want to say more, and simply explained the matter to Zhao Guangyi in a few words.

"It's just a woman, it doesn't matter. Mother don't take it to heart. Zhao Guangyi pretended to be generous, but an indistinguishable light flashed in his eyes.

Before the matter of Luyi, Empress Dowager Du was with him through the bottom. Zhao Guangyi didn't care about the Chai family's help. No matter how strong the relationship is, it can't resist interests. As long as you can master enough military power, what else is there to fear? If the Chai family had enough ability, they would not have been taken the throne by their eldest brother.

However, the eldest brother has not uprooted the Chai family over the years, and let them enjoy peace, which made Zhao Guangyi's heart bottomless. If it were me, I wouldn't have tolerated them! What is important to love, it is all said to outsiders. If you really talk about light feelings, the eldest brother would not have taken away their Chai family's country in the first place. Do they really have any hole cards? Therefore, Zhao Guangyi also paid more attention to greenery, but only this one more. In the future, I will also want 3,000 people in the harem, and it is nothing to put such a concubine in.

It's one thing to just not care about yourself, it's another thing to be looked down upon by others, and the woman who originally belonged to you was robbed by the eldest brother. Zhao Guangyi's green and beautiful face appeared in his mind. Can't look down on yourself? Then don't blame yourself for being ruthless. An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Guangyi's mouth.

Zhang Ye conscientiously completed the mission assigned to him by Meng Chang and Xu Rui. Since Zhao Guangyi, in order to highlight his reputation, had already publicized some of the contents of their private agreement, Zhang Ye also took the opportunity to reveal some terms that seemed to be no obvious obstacle to the Northern Song Dynasty and at the same time very beneficial to Later Shu. Since it has been publicized by everyone, it is not easy for the Northern Song Dynasty to make major changes, otherwise they will have to carry the pot that cannot be negotiated peacefully. According to the current situation, it is impossible to start a war against Houshu again, and Zhao Kuangyin is unwilling to bear the charge of not wanting peace, reckless military force, laboring the people and losing money. After all, his country has only stabilized.

More importantly, if Houshu can be resolved peacefully, it will also be a very good demonstration for several other small countries. This is of great benefit to the reunification of the country. This is the aspect that Zhao Kuangyin values the most.

So in the end, as expected, the Northern Song Dynasty basically met all the requirements put forward by the Shu State. Later Emperor Shu officially changed his name to King Shu, and Xu Rui was officially canonized as Princess of Shu. The current management system in the whole territory of Shu has basically been maintained, and the lives of the people have not been affected.

Different from the previous life, the people of Houshu gave up the throne in order to thank Meng Chang for giving up the throne with the common people in his heart, and built many ancestral halls for him to thank him for his kindness to the people.

It's another year, and the hibiscus blossoms. Meng Chang took Xu Rui's hand and stood on the highest city wall, watching the piles of clouds and greens in the city. The people were busy shuttling through the city, and from time to time there were patrolling soldiers passing by in the streets, a well-organized scene.

"Losing the throne, does the prince really not regret it at all?" Xu Rui felt the cool breeze blowing slowly, and asked casually. She was afraid that if he was unwilling, after all, it was the throne that many people dreamed of! He said no, he didn't.

"Nope. With you by my side, and all my people living in peace and contentment, living in peace and prosperity, what can I regret? Now and before, it's just a difference in title. I don't care about anything less, so why regret it? Meng Chang looked down at the beautiful woman in front of him, holding her soft and boneless little hands, and doting on her.

Xu Rui nodded, didn't speak again, looked at the life of the people in the city full of fireworks, slowly put down a stone in his heart, and gently rested his head on Meng Chang's shoulder.

Meng Chang felt something, stretched out his long arm to wrap his arms around Xu Rui's right shoulder, and looked ahead together.

"Ah~~~" Xu Rui suddenly screamed, holding her stomach tightly with her hands, and collapsed to the ground weakly.

"Rui'er, what's wrong with you?" Meng Chang was shocked, and hurriedly supported Xu Rui and let her lean on his body.

"My stomach is ...... Hurt...... It hurts...... Maybe I'm about to give birth......" Xu Rui felt a burst of pain in her body, and she broke out in a cold sweat, and she couldn't say a complete sentence.

"I'm going to give birth...... It's going to give birth...... Call the Imperial Doctor! Hurry up! After Meng Chang was briefly busy, he quickly reacted and yelled at the guards next to him.

"Yes!" The guard didn't say a word, and quickly turned around and went to call someone. 166 Reading Network
