Chapter 61: If You Don't Die, You Won't Die
Zhao Weiji still remembers that he watched a movie called "Party A and Party B" in his previous life, and there was a very popular star named Tang Lijun in the movie, she was very red, which can be described as red and purple.
Although she is a celebrity, she also enjoys all the glory and wealth that celebrities bring. But she is also troubled by the celebrity effect, she must wear sunglasses when she goes out, accompany bodyguards, and there are countless fans watching everywhere she goes, and there are endless announcements to be made. Finally, one day, she meets the main characters in the play, a group of people who help people realize their dreams.
She asks the protagonists to help her quit the entertainment industry and realize her dream of living a mortal life. Things went well, and she managed to achieve her dream of becoming a mortal. But what she didn't expect was that when her celebrity halo disappeared, the glory and wealth around her also disappeared. What she didn't expect was that she began to gradually endure this lonely life without hair. But when she wants to make a comeback, it's not too likely.
Of course, this is just a movie, but it tells Zhao Weiji a truth, once a person in a high position falls into the mortal world one day, this kind of gap is not something that everyone can bear.
When Zhao Weiji learned that Zhao Yuanxi finally succeeded in finding Mi Xin's cooperation, Zhao Weiji's mind suddenly popped up with the name of Tang Lijun.
To say that this Mi Xin is also a character, he has been serving in the army since the time of Guo Wei, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and later passed through Chai Rong of Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin of Song Taizu, and Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong If the Emperor Chai Zongxun is counted in the Later Zhou Dynasty, the elders of the entire First and Fifth Dynasties.
Of course, the qualifications are old and scary, and the merits are not bad, and the four emperors have won battles, and the highest has also achieved the level of a high-ranking official.
But in recent years, his voice in the army has slowly decreased, in addition to the recent reduction in the achievements of the last few major wars, there is also the rise of newcomers. The most important thing is that the emperor really doesn't like Mi Xin very much, Mi Xin is arbitrary and reckless and does not obey the law, is very mean when he feasts on the soldiers, and once when he bought silk privately, he lied to the officials in charge of tax calculation that it was the government to buy to evade tariffs, in short, he did a lot of angry things. Therefore, the emperor also consciously put Mi Xin aside, so that his power was reduced to reduce the possibility of him doing evil.
But Mi Xin really can't stand this kind of life on the sidelines. The reduction of rights made Mi Xin, who was accustomed to enjoying the benefits brought by rights, a little overwhelmed, and he very much wanted to return to the life where he could use power for personal gain and abuse power.
So when Zhao Yuanxi came to the door, Mi Xin agreed without saying a word, and even Mi Xin's understanding was skewed, Zhao Yuanxi just wanted to find someone who could support him in the military, to put it bluntly, you set up a platform for me to support, and I will use you to attract more help.
But Mi Xin misunderstood, he thought that the prince was going to carry out a coup d'état, and he Mi Xin needed him to gather a group of people in the military to help him succeed in the coup. So he began to act on his own, and he used the influence he still had in the army to really gather a group of people.
Then he also formulated a whole set of coup plans, because Mi Xin participated in Chen Qiaoyi's yellow robe, so he is familiar with the coup.
But Zhao Yuanxi didn't know all this, when he contacted Mi Xin, he started the next plan, and at this moment he was preparing to use the banner of Mi Xin to contact a group of people.
"Zhao Weiji wants to take a concubine? He's doing a pretty good job. Let him wait, and deal with you after I get Zhao Heng down and turn over. Just when Zhao Yuanxi was still dreaming, Mi Xin sent someone to deliver a message.
"Everything is ready, the winter solstice action in January, when the prince only needs to open the gate of Bianjing City."
What does that mean? Zhao Yuanxi didn't understand at all, what action? What does it mean to open the gates? Just when Zhao Yuanxi was confused, the staff came up with an idea.
"It can't be that Mi Xin understands the prince's wooing as a coup d'état, right?"
Zhao Yuanxi was immediately paralyzed with fright when he heard this idea, this Mi Xin has a sick brain, I just went to him to carry the banner for me because I couldn't find the support of powerful ministers in the court, when did I say that I was going to carry a coup d'état.
In fact, you can't blame Mi Xin, Mi Xin himself is illiterate, although he is a "veteran of the Five Dynasties", but he has not dealt so much with people in the officialdom in the real sense, how did he know that there are so many ways in this officialdom. In addition to fighting, the only political struggle he knew about was Chen Qiaoyi.
Of course, when Zhao Yuanxi's staff knew the news, Zhao Weiji's team also knew.
"It seems that this Mixin executes our plan better than our people." For Mi Xin, Zhao Weiji can only come to such a conclusion.
Because there was a little deviation when this plan began to be implemented, although Zhao Yuanxi was desperate to the point of panicking, he was still more cowardly than Zhao Weiji believed.
But unexpectedly, Mi Xin took matters into his own hands and implemented the coup plan, but he still put the plan on the right track.
When things come to this point, it is no longer out of Zhao Weiji's control, so they can only go with the flow, let their spies lurking in Zhao Yuanxi's place evacuate quickly, and the rest depends on Mi Xin's performance.
After doing everything, Zhao Weiji had to go to his wedding to marry Li Nian.
Since he was not marrying a wife, the ceremony was shorter, but it was still very troublesome, and after doing all the rituals, Zhao Weiji was still tired enough.
"I'm definitely not coming back for a third time, I'm so tired." At this time, Zhao Weiji was lying on his back on the bed, panting.
"Would you like to come back a third time?" Li Nian, who was also very tired, sat next to Zhao Weiji.
"Alright, I was wrong, just have the two of you." Zhao Weiji, who was just about to get up to hug Li Nian, was interrupted by a sentence from outside the door.
"Lord Wang, second lady, come out quickly, the matter is not over yet, the second lady still has to give tea to the lady, and you still have to entertain guests."
So, the two of them could only drag their tired bodies and continue to talk about the wedding.
When Li Nian gave Chai Yu tea, Chai Yu did not show any discomfort, and even Chai Yu's face showed a hint of relief, Li Nian has also lived with her for so many years, although she wants to share the same man with her from today onwards, but she also understands that this matter should be like this. So she happily took Li Nianjing's tea.
After the concubine finished the tea to his wife, she was going back to the cave room to wait, and Zhao Weiji was miserable, the banquet officially started now, start drinking.
This dinner Zhao Weiji was even worse than last time, and the last time he drank was only the wine made by the original wine-making method of the Song Dynasty, and the degree was not too high. But this time, all he drank was high-grade liquor that he brewed by distillation. The result is ......
Early the next morning, Chai Yu ran to the cave room, hoping to block the newlyweds on the bed as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Li Nian to come out alone with a sad face.
"Sister Yu......"
"What's wrong? Did he bully you? Seeing Li Nian's expression, Chai Yu was puzzled.
"No, he was pushed into the cave room by Uncle Xin at night, and when he came back, he was like a dead pig, motionless, and now he is still sleeping."
When Chai Yu heard this, he almost burst out laughing, although Zhao Weiji also drank too much when they were in the cave room last time, at least he could still cave the room. Now, the only trace of melancholy left in Chai Yu's heart is gone.
"Okay, let him sleep, didn't you see how miserable he was last night, your brother is really ruthless, I haven't seen a lot of alcohol for a few years, and your brother has to bear most of the responsibility for getting drunk like that. But your brother is not very good, I guess I don't know which guest room I slept in now. ”
"Oh~~~."
"Alright, it's okay to come to the cave house tonight. Let's go get something to eat. ”
……
Although Zhao Weiji's cave house failed to succeed, he finally married a new daughter-in-law. Over there, Zhao Yuanxi was completely panicked, because he found that one of his most important staff members had disappeared.
The consequence of this person's disappearance was that Zhao Yuanxi had completely lost the person who came up with the idea, and in desperation, he could only take a great risk to find Zhao Pu.
One night, at the third watch, braving the heavy snow, Zhao Yuanxi knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although Zhao Pu was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanxu coming to him at this time, Zhao Pu couldn't help but be full after hearing Zhao Yuanxi's intention.
Because Zhao Yuanxi gave Mi Xin's letter to Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu knew that Mi Xin's coup was basically unsuccessful, but after Mi Xin's coup was crushed, Zhao Yuanxi suffered and he Zhao Pu would not be happy either.
"What should I do, Xiangye?"
"Let me think about it, what the hell are you doing, even if you are desperate, you can't put your hand on the military, and you want to carry out a coup d'état? Do you know Chen Qiaoyi? At the beginning, the general leader of Chen Qiaoyi was the current housekeeper, your father. ”
"No, I'm not preparing for a coup d'état, I just hope that Mi Xin can carry the banner for me in the military."
"That's not okay, the military is a field that you must not touch, and you don't know your father's attitude towards the military."
"It's useless to talk so much now, what to do now?"
"Now it can only be like this, before the winter solstice, you take the initiative to go to the official family to surrender, tell your original purpose, and then let the official family guard against Mi Xin in advance, so that there may be salvation."
Zhao Yuanxi, who really had no choice, could only follow Zhao Pu's method.
"You, you, you...... Cough, cough, cough. When Zhao Yuanxi confessed to Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi was already so angry that he couldn't speak.
"I don't want to say anything more to you. When is Mixin coming? ”
"Winter Solstice Day."
"Okay, I know, you get out." After saying this, Zhao Guangyi seemed to have exhausted the last trace of strength, and then he didn't say anything more.
Seeing that his father fell into complete silence, Zhao Yuanxi knew that he was really completely helpless this time, so he didn't dare to say anything more, and left the palace in a gloomy manner.
