Chapter 3 Opponents

Of course, it is a bit biased to blame Zhao Guangyi for this responsibility, because nothing in history can be discussed separately from the historical environment.

From the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the warlords of the entire land of China were divided, and whoever had more people and who had big fists would be counted if he spoke.

In the past two hundred years, local governments have burned, killed and looted, and the people have struggled to make a living.

After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains and the South were quickly unified, and this period required recuperation.

The blame is that Zhao Guangyi is too extreme, in order to maintain the Zhao Song regime, he wants to control all military power in his own hands.

In order to prevent the generals from abusing their power, they were put in layers of shackles.

In addition, the court fought between civil and military, and finally abolished its martial arts.

However, Zhao Guangyi was not unpunished, and his children and grandchildren were slaves and prostitutes.

After robbing his elder brother of the throne for more than 100 years, the descendants were finally cut off, and the throne fell into the hands of Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Dezhao's younger brother Zhao Defang.

Now that he has become Zhao Dezhao, he can change all this.

In history, Zhao Kuangyin and his family were killed by Zhao Guangyi, and only his nephews and grandchildren were killed, and even his younger brother Zhao Tingmei was killed by him, and now of course it is impossible to happen again.

Zhao Dezhao is not arrogant, but self-confidence.

He lived for nearly two hundred years, had a thousand years of prophets, had a complete charter for industrial reform in the feudal era, and had the experience of building a stable political system.

On such a basis, what is Zhao Guangyi?

Of course, Zhao Dezhao is not a person with low eyes, on the contrary, he has rich experience in fighting against others.

He knew very well that he was completely incomparable with Zhao Guangyi now.

Zhao Guangyi alone led one-third of the forbidden army, titles, and a lot of titles, which can be said to be in favor of the government and the opposition.

And although his kung fu is slightly inferior to Zhao Kuangyin, he is also a strong general in the army, and his skills are not comparable to Zhao Dezhao, who is only fourteen years old now.

And Zhao Dezhao can't beat the other party, and his identity is even more incomparable.

He opened the government last year, and was only given the false post of a defense envoy in Guizhou by the unreliable Zhao Kuangyin.

And this false position is just a ...... from the fifth grade

He knew very well about this period of history that Zhao Kuangyin could not be regarded as an emperor throughout his life, nor did he have the consciousness of an emperor, he was a warlord.

After being put on the throne of the emperor, he trembled, suffered from gains and losses.

Before becoming emperor, he bravely crowned the three armies, and was also loyally supported by a group of generals and sworn brothers.

But after sitting in the position of the emperor, he was never sure of his position.

From being the emperor to the sixteen years when he was killed by Zhao Guangyi, he can be said to have achieved nothing, and everything is inevitable under the trend of history.

Just like this expedition to Houshu, there are inevitable historical reasons, and this can be regarded as his only historical achievement.

In addition, the Northern Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty and other countries were later annexed, but in fact, Zhao Guangyi contributed more.

He didn't think of himself as an emperor, he just saw himself as a warlord, so he didn't pay much attention to the heir.

As long as the military power is in the hands of the Zhao family, he will feel at ease.

After he took back the power of the generals, most of them went into the hands of Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Dezhao does not have the support of Zhao Kuangyin, how can he fight with Zhao Guangyi?

A horse came from behind, and Zhao Dezhao heard Liu Xiao's whispered reminder. "Second brother, it's Wang Xifu here."

Zhao Dezhao raised his head, waved his hand to the people on the side of the road, and smiled.

This scene immediately drew cheers from the people.

Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Tingmei couldn't help but look back when they saw the people cheering at Zhao Dezhao.

"Second brother, don't communicate with these lower riba people at will, so as to save people who have a heart to cling."

Zhao Dezhao complained in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the reminder...... Xifu, come here in a hurry, but what's the matter? ”

Zhao Dezhao was not in a calm mood, and did not want to deal with Zhao Guangyi, so he turned to look at Wang Xifu who came on horseback.

Xifu is the word, his real name is Wang Chengyan, he is the son of Wang Xianqi among the ten brothers of Zhao Kuangyin Yishe.

He is eighteen years old this year, four years older than Zhao Dezhao, although he is the same age as Zhao Tingmei, but because of his inferiority, he is closer to Zhao Dezhao.

He was erudite, not only proficient in mounted archery, but also good at music, and his singing was a must at every party.

Singing poetry is also called chanting in this era, whether it is a poem or a long and short sentence that is slowly becoming popular, in this era, it is not read, but sung.

He has a good voice and a good image, and his chant is not only famous among his peers, but also Zhao Kuangyin and the older generation, who also like to listen to it.

At this time, his face was a little unsightly, holding the reins of the horse to Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Tingmei hugged his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Fang just arrived and found that there was Hibiscus powder on the tip of Xuehua's nose, and later found that Ahibiscus powder appeared in several manger over there in Wengcheng, obviously someone deliberately targeted the second brother's layout."

Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Criminal Department, and the Kaifeng Mansion have all sent people to investigate, but the personnel of the Daliangmen Urn City are complicated, there are 300 garrisons, and the number of people traveling every day is 10,000, so it is difficult to investigate......"

Zhao Dezhao still remembered that they were in the front, and after entering the urn city, the manger on both sides had been loaded with forage.

The others dismounted and lined up to arrange the marching order, but Zhao Dezhao didn't need to bother and kept riding on the horse.

A herd of horses grazes around the manger, and then the drums of the drum band sounds.

Normally, these horses have been trained and do not panic, but this time as soon as the drums sounded, the horses went crazy.

It is of course impossible to hold the drum band accountable, and now we can only hope to find out who drugged the forage.

However, the city of Daliangmen is the main gateway to and from the west of Kaifeng Mansion, and even today, it is blocked after dawn.

People come and go to find the person who has been drugged, and it is difficult to climb to the sky.

What's more, he doesn't need to find out the results to know who is behind it.

Except for Zhao Guangyi, there will be no one else.

However, Zhao Guangyi was still very honest during this period, and he would always pretend to be obedient until the south was pacified.

As long as there are foreign enemies, Zhao Kuangyin will not attack him, and he will not be in a hurry to become the emperor.

He needs Zhao Kuangyin alive to help him stabilize the situation.

When the south was pacified, the Song Dynasty no longer had to suffer from the enemy, which was the dangerous moment for him to become.

Historically, in 975, the Southern Tang Dynasty was pacified, and in 976, Zhao Guangyi took action.

He knew very well that if he didn't do it, Zhao Kuangyin would start paving the way for his son and seize his power.

Although they are brothers, in China, there has never been a tradition of brothers ending with brothers.

As for the statement of the Jinkui Alliance in the back, it is completely that he became the emperor and made it up blindly to cover up his illegality.

What is the Golden Alliance, their mother died four years ago, and there has been no such statement.

Now none of the Manchu civil and military forces of the Great Song Dynasty think that Zhao Guangyi will inherit the throne.

This matter may not have been personally instructed by Zhao Guangyi, but it was just the work of his subordinates, but it was absolutely inseparable from him.

Zhao Dezhao is only fourteen years old, where is there any enemy who wants to kill him?

Zhao Dezhao hadn't spoken yet, but he heard Zhao Guangyi shouting angrily: "Send the order to the Criminal Department, Kaifeng Mansion, no matter how difficult it is, I must find out who did it, my descendants of the Zhao family, every life is extremely valuable." ”

His image is already good, and today he was extraordinarily dressed up at the surrender ceremony, and at this time he was riding on a horse, and he shouted angrily and angrily, playing the image of an uncle who loves his nephew to full marks.

Zhao Dezhao sneered in his heart, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. "Third uncle, this matter will be postponed, let's go to the West Lake Station to greet Emperor Guangzheng first."

"Dare to do it to the second brother, no matter who it is, the third uncle will help you find this justice." He was still unwilling to calm his anger, and sent all the few followers around him to investigate.

In the process, they rode their horses without stopping.

Ten miles to greet each other, in addition to the clan and the ministers of civil and military affairs, there are also many followers of each person, and the speed of travel is naturally not fast.

Zhao Guangyi has been comforting Zhao Dezhao, and the eighteen-year-old Zhao Tingmei is still laughing heartlessly.

Zhao Guangyi kept saying that he wanted to catch the murderer and vent his anger for Zhao Dezhao.

Zhao Dezhao, in turn, wanted to comfort Zhao Guangyi, thinking that there was no major incident, and there was no need to mobilize the public.

The two of you come and go, talking warmly on the surface, but they are both considering each other.

And Zhao Dezhao is much more skilled in acting than the 26-year-old Zhao Guangyi, he has already lived like a play, and the play is like life.

Zhao Guangyi did not notice anything abnormal on Zhao Dezhao's face, expression, and body movements, but Zhao Dezhao found a lot of small emotions and unconscious movements on his face.

Zhao Dezhao already had the answer in his heart, today's incident was definitely not instructed by Zhao Guangyi, but just a subordinate made his own opinion.

However, things have happened, and Zhao Guangyi naturally wants to cover up for his subordinates.

Therefore, his emotions range from hatred, uneasiness, unwillingness, and pretense to talk around.

Of course, there is also a little bit of pity that belongs to family affection.

The 26-year-old Zhao Guangyi is still a brave general, not an old and cunning handsome man who has been ready to seize the throne eleven years later.

Although Zhao Guangyi in history wiped out Zhao Kuangyin's family, the current Zhao Dezhao did not hate him deeply.

He didn't regard Zhao Guangyi as an opponent at all, he could only be regarded as an opponent at this stage at most.

Turning his gaze back, among the entourage team following them diagonally, there were the most entourages belonging to Zhao Guangyi, which could be called mighty.

This opponent at this stage is really a bit difficult!

The team arrived at the West Lake Station ten miles away, which had already been cleaned and cleaned, and everyone was greeted at the door.

Zhao Guangyi was the leader, and he also dismounted after 50 meters and walked over.

Zhao Dezhao followed behind, this kind of occasion did not make him uneasy, compared with the big scene he made in the Ming Dynasty, it is only a pediatrics now.

He looked at the 46-year-old Meng Chang, as a descendant, but he was dressed like a nouveau riche, and he really didn't know what to do.

And his attention was quickly attracted by a woman beside him with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, not only him, but even Zhao Guangyi and them, their eyes couldn't help but be attracted by this woman with thousands of manners and flowing eyebrows.

This should be the lady of the flower that left a strong mark in history......
