As soon as these words came out, Chen Qiuniang was immediately shocked, and he couldn't care too much at this moment, so he was shocked on the spot. Because she thinks that the thing that let Chai Yu replace her is very personal, and few people know about it, but Zhao Kuangyin, who should not know the most, actually knows.

However, even if she was shocked, she was still a person who had seen the world, and after being stunned for a moment, she immediately asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" I don't understand. ”

"The person who asked me to cooperate with me once told me that the Zhang family wanted to replace me with Chai Yu, a descendant of the Chai family. I don't know if there is such a thing? Zhao Kuangyin asked slowly, his tone very calm.

"Then before answering Your Majesty, I will ask Your Majesty: How do you know Chai Yu? But you were the one who chased and killed Chai Yu back then? Is it the order of His Majesty to put him in the custody of the Zhu family in Liuhe Town? Chen Qiuniang did not answer Zhao Kuangyin's question directly, but asked him some information, she had to see how much the other party knew from the other party's answer before she could say her own words.

Today, although the nine major families are chess players, this king is not free to move after all, not to mention that he is a king, whoever he stands on will have a greater chance of winning. She didn't want to let the other party choose to be Zhang Ci's enemy because of her words and deeds.

"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to lie?" Zhao Kuangyin closed his long sleeves, his eyes were shining, and he looked at her straight and asked.

"Listen to the truth." Chen Qiuniang replied with a smile to meet his gaze. She knew that the other person was scrutinizing her gaze to see if she was lying.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at her as usual, so he looked away, returned to his seat, sat upright, and said, "Actually, I didn't know that Sejong had such a talented son. After the Chenqiao Mutiny, there were thieves around who were ready to move, busy exterminating the rebels, and I also kept going, sending information and instructions, as long as the rebels were concerned, they were all clear. The order to exterminate Chai Yu and the others was issued under such chaotic circumstances. ”

"Heh, Song Zu should know that I and Chai Yu are old acquaintances, right? As he said, it was not the army that came to destroy him, but the black-clad and masked killers. Chen Qiuniang pointed out this, and looked at Zhao Kuangyin and the others to answer.

"At that time, if it wasn't a large-scale rebel, they were all dealt with in civilian clothes as guards with waist tags, and there was no need to send troops. One is too disturbing to the people, and the other is too wasteful of military power. Zhao Kuangyin explained.

Chen Qiuniang also felt that this should be the case, so she didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and said: "Then when did Song Zu know Chai Yu's existence?" ”

"Not long after the destruction of Shu, the intelligence sent by the spies of Liuhe Town. At that time, his identity was not confirmed, but it was later verified in many ways to confirm that it was indeed a descendant of Sejong. Zhao Kuangyin said this, but stopped, and couldn't help sighing lightly.

"If you really took Sejong as a brother, you should have taken him back, but you didn't. It didn't even change his tragic experience. Why? Chen Qiuniang asked, but vaguely guessed the answer in her heart.

Zhao Kuangyin turned to look at her seriously and asked, "You changed your disguise the day before yesterday and mixed in with the guards, you already know that I have a gap with Guangyi, and you are suspected of turning against each other, right?" ”

Chen Qiuniang nodded, and Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "I have always loved my family very much, and I believe in it." I never thought that Guangyi, who has been running around for the country and the society, and sticking to the world for my eldest brother, would make so many small moves behind my back, and would plant a hidden pile with nowhere around me. And knowing his actions starts from knowing Chai Yu's existence. Follow Chai Yu to investigate, and the more I check, the colder I feel. In the end, I realized that Chen Qiao's mutiny that day was just a move for him to ascend to the throne of God. ”

He said very sadly, Chen Qiuniang was silent, it was not easy for anyone to be calculated by his closest brother, and as an outsider, any verbal comfort she had at the moment was useless, not to mention that the two were now discussing Chai Yu's matter, and this Zhao Guangyi's calculation was only mentioned casually.

There was a loud noise outside, and the two of them sat in their seats, silent, letting the curtain rise and fall in the wind.

"It's best that you know this, and I don't need to think about how to talk to you so that you don't think I'm stirring up a wedge between your brothers." After a long time, Chen Qiuniang found a decent sentence to say.

Zhao Kuangyin said "um", and then looked over and said, "Therefore, I know about Chai Yu." Including the assassination of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng of Liao State the day before yesterday, the assembly of the secret army left by his ancestors near the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the fact that he was captured by the old man of the Jiang family the day before yesterday. ”

Chen Qiuniang felt a chill down her spine when she heard this, originally she thought that Zhao Kuangyin was just a chess piece, and the fate of the chess piece was that it could be replaced at will when it was not needed, who would care about the will of the chess piece? However, this so-called chess piece has such strength.

"But Song Zu said that you and Chai Yu, who is more suitable for this country, I don't know. I don't know what Song Zu meant when he asked me? If it's just because I know you and Chai Yu, then from a fair standpoint, you are more suitable. Even if Chai Yu is small and sensitive, he will never have the experience you have accumulated, whether it is fighting or managing. In addition, you care about the world and want the people of the world to live a peaceful life, which Chai Yu will not have. Your Zhao brothers have given him too many ups and downs in life, and all he has left is hatred, just looking at himself, not the world. An emperor, if he only looks at himself, will not become a blessing to the people of the world; On the contrary, if you look at the world, you have a compassionate heart, a strategy and atmosphere to kill and decide, and it is a blessing for the people. Chen Qiuniang said something decent, which did not make Zhao Kuangyin feel perfunctory, nor was she suspected of compliments.

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, his face turned a little pale, but he asked again: "Then from your personal point of view, who will be more suitable for this world?" ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she had already concluded that there must be a traitor arranged by the nine major families that day, and knew that Zhang Ci wanted to help Chai Yu gain the world, and the old guy of the nine major families must have informed Zhao Kuangyin that he wanted to eliminate the possibility of him cooperating with Zhang Ci.

Song Zu's words are wrong. The Zhang family protects the orthodox country and the chosen one. Where is a little personal affection? If Song Zu was not the chosen one, with the power of the nine major families, the Chen Qiao Mutiny would not have happened. Chen Qiuniang said loudly.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was a little ugly, and he probably thought that the qiē he made was just arranged by others. Chen Qiuniang felt that today's words had come to this point, and there was no need to say more, so she got up and said that she wanted to go to bed.

After she walked a few steps, she just arrived at the door of the main hall, but heard Zhao Kuangyin shouting: "Slow." ”

"What does Song Zu command?" Chen Qiuniang stopped and turned around, seeing this man dressed like an ordinary boy standing in front of the desk, his hand forward as if he was holding back.

"I want you to keep a secret with me." He said.

Chen Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, and then understood that his so-called secret was the future historical trend. Who let the old guys of the Nine Great Families leak the family secrets?

"Is this a condition of your cooperation?" Chen Qiuniang asked.

"Yes." Zhao Kuangyin said frankly.

"And what do you want?" Chen Qiuniang didn't drag the mud and water, and asked directly.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward, bypassed the case, and got closer to Chen Qiuniang, before he said slowly: "How many years of the Song Dynasty, this is not something I can control, the tide rises and falls, all dynasties and dynasties, who has had thousands of years." So, I don't ask about this. ”

Chen Qiuniang said "um" and continued to listen to him. He paused, lowered his voice, and said, "In Fangcai, I thought about asking me what year I died, but I suddenly felt that it was not right. ”

"Oh? Why did Song Zu feel that this was inappropriate? Chen Qiuniang thought that he would ask this, but he didn't expect this person to be unexpected.

"A story, I don't know the ending, so I'm more interested in listening to it. A person's life, who dies without knowing when, will be more meaningful. He said.

Chen Qiuniang frowned slightly, she suddenly understood why Dai Yuanqing would give Zhao Kuangyin such a high evaluation. In the past, she always thought that he just relied on the Chen Qiao Mutiny to seize the country from the orphans and widows, but now when she came into contact with him, she found that this person's eloquence was probably not compared with ordinary talents.

"Song Zu Dazhi. That is the case, but I don't know what Song Zu wants to ask? Chen Qiuniang wanted to know more and more about what Zhao Kuangyin wanted to ask.

"You're wrong, I'm just a coward who doesn't have the courage to face it." He sighed, and then said, "What I want to ask is Guangyi, whether he has the emperor's order." ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard this question, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at him carefully. Zhao Kuangyin was looking at her expectantly.

"Song Zu, if he has. How are you staying? If he doesn't, what will you do? Chen Qiuniang didn't answer directly, but made an assumption, which shouldn't be considered a leak.

"If he doesn't, don't blame me for being ruthless; If he had, he would obey the destiny of heaven. Zhao Kuangyin replied.

Chen Qiuniang was stunned, she didn't expect this emperor to think like this in her heart. She thought the man would get rid of the man who threatened her throne, even if it was his brother. But he never thought that his answer was to obey the mandate of heaven, and if the other party did not have the emperor's mandate, he would cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. It seems that he is still too villainous.

"Song Zu is righteous." Chen Qiuniang gave a thumbs up, and then asked, "However, Song Zu really accepted his fate?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled bitterly and said: "I have experienced these decades, and I have long known that there is a certain number in this world. It's just a brotherly relationship, and I can't give it up in the end. ”

Song Zu's statement is not true. If you know that there is a certain number in the dark, why do you know whether he has an imperial destiny or not? Chen Qiuniang asked rhetorically.

"The old mother is old, and the brotherly love is in a dilemma. You're still young, and I'm afraid you've never had this kind of dilemma, and it's more uncomfortable to have a choice than not to have a choice. Zhao Kuangyin replied.

Chen Qiuniang didn't say anything to him that she was still young, but said: "That is the case, then Song Zu should obey the destiny of heaven." ”

She said this very lightly, but she clearly saw that the figure on Zhao Kuangyin's face was rapidly declining, and even his eyes seemed to be full of sadness and became very empty.

"Really? Seriously? He asked in a low voice, his voice hoarse with eagerness.

"Song Zu can also choose not to believe me, in fact, it is all in your thoughts." Chen Qiuniang said calmly, then said goodbye and turned to leave the main hall. Outside, the wind was raging, the trees were swaying vigorously, and the red lanterns under some of the eaves were blown far away, and the eunuchs were in a hurry. R1152
