Chapter 182: Peeping
Zhao Guangyi is here, what's the situation?
Shi Wei didn't want to meet Zhao Guangyi, lest he think that he was instigating the Son of Heaven or something, and he should even offer to retreat.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "You don't have to retreat, and you can avoid the side hall next door." ”
Shi Wei didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to retreat to the side hall separated by a wall, and inspect the situation in the imperial study through the panes.
After Shi Wei avoided it, Zhao Kuangyin sorted out his emotions and ordered King Jin to be announced.
After a while, I saw someone limping into the hall, it was Zhao Guangyi.
Looking through the pane, Zhao Guangyi's expression was as calm as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of weakness in his heart.
"Brother courtier, visit the royal brother." Before Zhao Guangyi's first case.
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at his younger brother at the bottom of the stairs, raised his hand and said flat.
When Zhao Kuangyin met his younger brother, his words were always polite, and there were few emperors' scores, but now his performance is much colder than in the past.
Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin didn't even give him a seat, so he let his lame brother stand there all the time.
With Zhao Guangyi's city government, even if he noticed that his brother's attitude was different, his two sparse eyebrows wrinkled slightly, showing the displeasure in his heart, "King Jin, you came to see me today, is there something wrong?" ”
Zhao Kuangyin asked coldly, he didn't even call the third brother, and directly changed his name to "King Jin", and the meaning of life was already obvious.
The corners of Zhao Guangyi's mouth grinned: "The younger brother came this time, and the imperial brother must have guessed it, naturally it is about the recent rumors in the capital." ”
"Rumors, what rumors?"
Zhao Kuangyin pretended not to know, and looked directly at Zhao Guangyi to see what his good brother could say.
Zhao Guangyi said unhurriedly: "Recently, there were rumors in Beijing, saying that the younger brother had formed a forbidden army general and wanted to mutiny and usurp the throne. ”
He also laughed a few times deliberately.
Zhao Kuangyin said coldly: "What, does King Jin think this rumor is funny?" ”
"It's funny, of course it's funny. How deep is the brotherhood between the younger brother and the royal brother, that is something that everyone in the world knows, how can the younger brother do such a thing that is inferior to beasts and is very rebellious. Therefore, the younger brother thought that most of the people who spread this rumor were enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, and they wanted to use this to cause trouble for us. It's a pity that the enemy is too stupid to think of such a clumsy plan, doesn't your majesty think it's funny? ”
Zhao Guangyi is really old-fashioned, he does not show his innocence, but pushes the rumor on the enemy and ridicules it wantonly.
In this way, if Zhao Kuangyin believed the rumors, wouldn't he become a stupid person.
"Rumors, is that really just a rumor!" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly aggravated his tone and asked sharply.
Zhao Guangyi's expression was shocked, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
But the surprise was only fleeting, and then it reverted back to indifference.
Zhao Guangyi took a step forward and asked with a smile: "Otherwise, does the imperial brother think that those rumors are true?" ”
Shi Wei on the other side of the window secretly scolded Zhao Guangyi for being powerful, not timid at all, but looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
Shi Wei immediately began to worry a little, thinking that Zhao Kuangyin was already soft-hearted, and if he gave his brother such an act, what if he was really shaken.
However, Shi Wei's worries are obviously a bit redundant, if Zhao Kuangyin is really so easy to fool, how can he take the world in the hands of the Chai family.
Facing his younger brother's rhetorical question, Zhao Kuangyin got up and threw a book on the desk to Zhao Guangyi's feet.
"The evidence is here, what else do you have to quibble." Zhao Kuangyin glared at Zhao Guangyi angrily, his expression surging with anger.
The book that fell at his feet was the one offered by Zhao Guangyi, the poisonous book stained with arsenic.
Zhao Guangyi looked down at the messy book at his feet, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
The expression changed at that moment, and Zhao Kuangyin's vision on the imperial stairs was blocked and could not be seen, but Shi Wei on the side could see it clearly.
Zhao Guangyi's eyes were clearly a thief.
Shi Wei was relieved again.
Previously, Shi Wei was still worried that although the poison book was offered by Zhao Guangyi, there was someone else who smeared the poison on the book.
Seeing Zhao Guangyi's expression today, it seems that the murderer behind the scenes is undoubtedly him.
Zhao Guangyi picked up the book from the ground, tidied up the book unhurriedly, looked up and said: "This is an ancient book that my brother spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to get, what's the matter, doesn't the imperial brother like it?" ”
At this point, Zhao Guangyi is still acting, and he is really able to calm down.
Zhao Kuangyin was annoyed by his younger brother's "pretending to be crazy and stupid", pointed at his nose and scolded: "What are you still pretending to be in front of me, I already knew that you smearized arsenic on this book!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Guangyi's expression immediately became panicked and frightened, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
He hurriedly held the book in front of his eyes, and hurriedly checked it, looking like he didn't know that the book was poisonous, and his mouth was still muttering: "How is this possible, how can the book be poisonous?" ”
Shi Wei was sneering, and said in his heart that this guy really knows how to fucking pretend.
Zhao Kuangyin's anger seemed to have been deceived by his brother's performance, and the hideous expression on his face gradually eased.
Shi Wei was a little anxious, for fear that Zhao Kuangyin would be deceived by that cunning guy.
"You gave the book to me, don't you know if there is poison on it?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
Zhao Guangyi hurriedly said: "This book is indeed dedicated by the younger brother, but the younger brother doesn't know why this book is poisonous, the imperial brother, this is most likely a person with ulterior motives trying to frame the younger brother and divide the friendship of our Zhao family brothers. ”
Zhao Guangyi said and bowed to the ground, looking wronged, and his eyes were soon filled with tears of grievance.
Zhao Kuangyin's originally angry eyes gradually began to become suspicious.
Apparently, he began to waver in his previous judgment.
This is an extremely dangerous sign!
The change in Zhao Kuangyin's expression, Shi Wei clearly saw it in his eyes, and he also felt a chill in his heart.
The emperor on the imperial stairs slowly stood up, pacing back and forth, his eyes never leaving Zhao Guangyi.
His sword-like gaze tried to cut through Zhao Guangyi's disguise to see if he was lying or sincere.
But Zhao Guangyi's play was performed seamlessly, and the tears in his nose almost made Shi Wei, who was watching, think that he had "wronged" this person.
"No, Shi Wei, Shi Wei, you have to trust your own judgment, people like Zhao Guangyi must not be gullible."
Shi Zhuan immediately strengthened his judgment, but Zhao Kuangyin in the palace did not seem to be as confident as Shi Wei.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh and turned his back to look at Zhao Guangyi again.
That sigh meant that half of his doubts had been dispelled, and the posture of his back showed that he still had reservations about his judgment.
Zhao Guangyi, who was very good at observing faces, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and a smug smile passed the corner of his mouth.
There was a lot of irony in that sly, as if he was laughing at him, the royal brother, who had soft ears and was easy to deceive.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was standing with his back, naturally couldn't see his brother's face clearly, but Shi Wei, who was peeking out the window, looked more and more anxious, but unfortunately he didn't know what to do for a while.
"The brother and the brother of the emperor have a deep brotherhood, how can the brother do such an exterminating thing, this matter must be done by annihilating people, if the brother finds out who the real murderer of the brother is, he will be broken into pieces, brother emperor, brother I ......"
Zhao Guangyi was justifying with righteous indignation, and at the same time, he stood up and walked towards Zhao Kuangyin on the imperial steps step by step.
With his back to Zhao Kuangyin, he knew that Zhao Guangyi was coming up, thinking that he was trying to set something close, but his anger was not gone, and he still looked at him with his back to him.
A moment later, Zhao Guangyi had already come behind Zhao Kuangyin, and the two were only one step apart.
Zhao Guangyi argued uneasily in his mouth, but his expression was completely disrespectful.
His eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at the back of Zhao Kuangyin's head, and there was an inexplicable cold light in his eyes.
That's murderous!
Shi Wei saw the murderous aura in Zhao Guangyi's eyes, and his heart suddenly shook, thinking to Zhao Guangyi what he wanted to do.
Zhao Guangyi's gaze gradually moved to the imperial case, and after a few glances, he fixed on a jade artifact.
It was a jade axe, about the size of a strip of whetstone, and it was a jade object for the royal family.
Zhao Guangyi glanced back at the imperial study, and the empty picture made the corners of his mouth even more proud.
When Shi Wei was there, Zhao Kuangyin had already retired from the maids and eunuchs in the palace, and only his two brothers were left in the imperial study at this time.
Zhao Guangyi didn't know that in the middle of the room, there was still a Shi Wei hidden, watching his every move.
Zhao Guangyi's expression became more and more hideous, and as he spoke, he quietly took the jade axe in his hand.
Shi Wei's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that Zhao Guangyi wanted to take advantage of this time to openly assassinate his emperor brother?
The cold wind passed through the hall, and the candle shadows swayed in the imperial study.
Zhao Guangyi, who was holding the jade axe, silently moved to Zhao Kuangyin, who was standing with his back, and he only hesitated slightly, and then slowly raised the jade axe he was holding.
In his eyes, a strong murderous aura was bursting out, and his eyes were staring at the back of Zhao Kuangyin's head.
With such a move, the killing intent has been undoubtedly exposed.
Shi Wei's heart was pounding, cold sweat was breaking out on his back, and his thoughts were flying, wondering whether to give a warning now, or wait for Zhao Guangyi to make a move, he was coming out to rescue him, and by the way, he would arrest Zhao Guangyi.
Shi Wei's gaze turned to the jade axe, although it was made of jade, it was not inferior to iron in any way.
If Zhao Kuangyin's back of the head gave the jade axe a full blow, he might really be killed with one blow.
If Zhao Kuangyin kills him with one move, what is the use of rushing out again, maybe he will blame Zhao Guangyi for the crime of killing the king, and then he will become Zhao Guangyi's scapegoat!
When he weighed it, the jade axe in Zhao Guangyi's hand was already raised high, and he was about to swing it.
Shi Wei had no time to think.
