Today's emperor Zhao Guangyi has many children, but the queen only has Zhao Mingyue, the princess of Yan Kingdom, who is said to be a collection of thousands of favors.

However, this is not the case.

Today's queen was born in Jiangmen, and her brother is the first military general in the Great Song Dynasty, and the former commander of the palace is Li Jilong, and the Li family has only the Wei Zifu family in the Han Dynasty.

Then, how long Empress Li and her family can maintain their glory depends on whether her son can inherit the throne in the future. However, it is a pity that she watched her give birth to a daughter, which is Zhao Mingyue.

Therefore, Queen Li doesn't like Zhao Mingyue, even if she is her daughter, she doesn't like it very much.

Later, she was never pregnant again, so she simply took the son of Zhao Guangyi's eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo, to the harem to raise, but never cared about her daughter.

With Zhao Mingyue's identity, the entire palace and even the country, only the emperor and the empress can manage and dare to manage, but the emperor is busy with military and politics, and the queen does not want to see him. As a result, Zhao Mingyue, the princess, became a wild girl in the palace.

In fact, Zhao Guangyi still likes Zhao Mingyue's daughter very much, she is talented, ambitious, and able to write and martial arts, and she looks better than several unconscious sons. He has said more than once that if Mingyue is a man, I should have no worries.

So, what are Zhao Guangyi's worries?

First, the sixteen states of Youyun, this does not need to be said.

Second, the uneasy sons.

In order to clear the obstacles for his sons, he did everything possible to force his younger brother Zhao Tingmei to death, and forced Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's two sons Dezhao and Defang to death, but who knew that his son did not appreciate it.

The eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo, was originally the best candidate to inherit the unification, but he repeatedly rushed against himself to rehabilitate his uncle and brother, and finally simply drove himself crazy. The third son, Zhao Yuankan, was in a daze, and there was a singing woman from Sichuan outside. The rest is to eat, drink and have fun, without learning and without skills, it is not the material for being an emperor at first glance.

Only the second son, Zhao Yuanxi, is currently worry-free, and is currently serving as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, with remarkable political achievements and a good reputation. It's just that this son is deep and scheming, and even he can't see Zhao Yuanxi's heart clearly.

Zhao Guangyi didn't like this feeling of being out of control, so he was still hesitating about who the throne would pass on.

If Motozo can get better, it will be good.

Fortunately, the imperial doctor reported that Yuan Zuo is really getting better, and his condition has been gradually controlled, but it will take some time.

Zhao Guangyi was very happy, and announced the good news to the Manchu civil and military forces in the early dynasty. The ministers congratulated again and again, and the mountains shouted long live Hongfu.

Kaifeng Mansion Yin and Xu Wang Zhao Yuanxi watched coldly, for many years, it was rare to see his father so happy. Looking at these ministers again, they were also sincerely happy, and some even cried with joy.

Sure enough, as Zhang Yanyan said, if the eldest brother is really good, then what is the matter with himself? He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

After retreating from the court, Zhao Yuanxi followed Zhao Guangyi into the upper study.

"Yuanxi, what else do you have to say, don't you talk about it at the same time?" Zhao Guangyi asked while asking the eunuch to change his clothes.

"Back to my father, my sons have some family affairs, and it is inconvenient to talk about them in the court." Zhao Yuanxi lowered his hand.

"Oh, family affairs? Let's hear it. ”

"Father, the eldest brother's condition has improved, which is really gratifying, and Mingyue has also returned from outside, it is rare for our family to reunite, so Erchen wants to organize a family banquet to celebrate the eldest brother and catch the wind for Mingyue."

Zhao Guangyi bowed his head and said: "Yes, yes, this idea is good, although it is royal, but after all, we are also father and son brothers, and we should reunite often, you go and prepare." ”

"Yes, the retainers are retired." Zhao Yuanxi bowed his head and retreated, a sneer flashing on his face.

On August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival is full, and the Bianliang Imperial Palace in Tokyo is very lively.

For the emperor's family banquet, Shang Shan Jian has been working overtime day and night for several days, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Xu, has personally come to inspect several times, and Wang Jien, the chief eunuch of the inner palace, is in command.

Wang Jien served the former emperor and the current emperor closely, and was an evergreen tree in the palace. With his shrewdness, he fully knew how much the emperor valued this family banquet.

It's day and night, the moon is in the sky, and the candlelight is like day. Zhao Guangyi took Empress Li and some concubines with children to attend the banquet, and the seven princesses and nine princes, as well as their concubines and princesses, basically arrived, only the eldest son of the emperor, King Chu's family, did not arrive.

"Yuanxi, why hasn't your eldest brother arrived yet?" After the emperor sat down, he glanced at the children and asked.

"Father, the eldest brother is seriously ill and unwell, so let the sons and daughters take leave from their father, and the imperial doctor also thinks that the eldest brother should not be too excited at this time." Zhao Yuanxi reported.

"Well, that's right, let him rest well, and strive to sit here and admire the moon with us on this day next year." Zhao Guangyi stroked his beard and said.

As he spoke, Wang Jien instructed the eunuchs and palace maids to start arranging vegetables.

When everything was ready, the children sat down respectfully, waiting for their father's instructions.

Zhao Guangyi's eyes were soft, smiling, no different from ordinary loving fathers, he smiled and said: "The full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day of reunion, we royal people have always regarded the country as their home, but they are indifferent to family affection, which should not be." This year, Yuan Xi proposed that we hold a family banquet, and by the way, I congratulated Yuan Zuo on his recovery, oh, by the way, and gave the wild girl Mingyue to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”

Empress Li sat beside the emperor and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, this girl is running around like crazy and has lost her royal system, you don't care, and give him the wind?" ”

"Hehe, Mingyue is not an ordinary woman, running crazy has its own reason, Mingyue, tell everyone, where did you go crazy?"

Zhao Mingyue was very excited since she knew that there was a family banquet, she had a wild temperament since she was a child, there were no rules, and she got along well with her brothers and sisters, if she could be like an ordinary family, everyone could sit together to eat and chat, it was really good.

What made him even more excited was that his father also specially offered to give her a pick-up, which had never happened before. Although the princess is noble, she is a woman after all, and she can't be on the stage.

"Father, I'm going to take a look at Youzhou in Liaoguo." Zhao Mingyue said mysteriously.

"What, you ran to Liao?" Everyone asked in unison.

Zhao Guangyi also asked a little incredulously: "You really went to Liaoguo?" But if you have any observations, tell your father about them. ”

"The Khitan people are brutal and bloody, regard the lives of the Han people as grass mustard, kill if they want to, fight when they want, and are completely unconstrained by the law.

Zhao Guangyi was a little excited when he heard this, stood up and sat down again, and said: "Wang Shibei Dingyouyun, that's a good point, I have fought for more than 20 years to recover Youyun, although I have failed several times, I will not give up, and you can't give up, even if you fight for another 20 or 200 years, you must take back Youyun." ”

The princes all bowed their heads and did not dare to respond.

Zhao Guangyi pointed to the princes and said: "Speaking of which, you are not as bold as Mingyue, but unfortunately, Mingyue is a girl." ”
