"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Shi Wei shouted, pushed the door and broke into the imperial study.

This exclamation startled the two brothers who were close to each other in the hall at the same time.

Zhao Guangyi was anxious to stop, but Zhao Kuangyin in front of him turned his head violently almost at the same time.

When he turned around, he found that his younger brother was holding a jade axe in his hand and was standing behind him in a strange posture.

Zhao Guangyi's face flashed with panic, but he calmed down in a blink of an eye and said with a smile: "Brother Huang's jade axe has broken the corner of the book, and the younger brother has helped Brother Huang to re-swing it." ”

As he spoke, he put the jade axe on the bookcase again, and adjusted it for a long time.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at his strange behavior, and then looked at Shi Wei, who looked frightened, and suddenly realized something, and his eyes suddenly became suspicious.

Shi Wei broke through Zhao Guangyi's murderous behavior with one word, and seeing that he reacted extremely quickly, he couldn't say anything for a while.

He calmed down and said, "The poison of arsenic in Your Majesty's body has not been completely removed, so you have to be more careful." ”

Shi Wei stepped forward as he spoke, blocking between Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, in case Zhao Guangyi jumped off the wall in a hurry.

Although he had no intention of debunking Zhao Guangyi, this move was already hinting to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin looked up at his younger brother, and his eyebrows became more and more suspicious.

"It turned out to be Lord Shi, why are you here?" Zhao Guangyi asked pretending to be surprised.

Shi Wei sneered: "Your Majesty was poisoned with arsenic, and the lower officials came to treat Your Majesty, and it happened that the King of Jin came to see you, and the lower officials had to avoid it for the time being." ”

Zhao Guangyi subconsciously glanced at the middle of Shi Wei's place, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Where the middle is located, you can clearly see his every move.

That is to say, the change in his expression, as well as what Fang Cai did when the Son of Heaven was back, were all unmistakable by Shi Wei.

Zhao Guangyi's heart suddenly felt cold, and the cold sweat on his forehead was brushing down.

If he was confident enough to pretend to be calm before, then now he really doesn't have the ability to play this play anymore.

The good thing he had calculated was drunk by Shi Wei, and the Son of Heaven had already seen his unusual behavior, and Shi Wei testified on the side, and his act of killing his brother was obvious.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, Zhao Guangyi's face became more and more ugly, and he hurriedly said: "Since the imperial brother is in poor health, the younger brother will not bother much, and the younger brother will retire." ”

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to keep him, but he still swallowed the words to his lips, and only waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

Zhao Guangyi held his cane and limped out of the hall.

Shi Wei was so anxious that he burned his eyebrows, and hinted to Zhao Kuangyin again and again, saying that his intention to kill you was so obvious, if you didn't take him down on the spot, why would you let him go.

Zhao Kuangyin ignored Shi Wei's hint and watched Zhao Guangyi leave without saying a word.

As soon as Zhao Guangyi left, Shi Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin is holding a jade axe, and he clearly wants to murder His Majesty, and the ministers can see it clearly in the middle of the room, how can Your Majesty let the King of Jin go." ”

Zhao Kuangyin sat down, shook his head and sighed.

Judging by what he meant, it seemed that he still didn't intend to deal with Zhao Guangyi.

Shi Wei was in a hurry now, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is not the time for a woman's kindness, Your Majesty's blind tolerance of King Jin will only fuel his arrogance and give him the courage to be more out of line, which will only push the Great Song Sheji into the fire step by step." ”

Shi Wei was by no means alarmist, and his loud voice also made Zhao Kuangyin's expression become solemn.

After pondering for a long time, he said silently: "King Jin is right, if I move him, it will definitely shake the government and the opposition, and it will be unfavorable to the country." ”

"But if Your Majesty—"

Zhao Kuangyin interrupted Shi Wei with a wave of his hand, and then said: "You are right, how can I not know that the King of Jin dares to act like this, and I will never tolerate him." ”

Zhao Kuangyin's words made Shi Wei a little confused, thinking to himself What do you mean by this, are you protecting Zhao Guangyi, or are you planning to deal with him.

When Shi Wei was at a loss, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Regardless of whether the King of Jin has the intention of harming me or not, I am very pleased that you can come forward, and I have written down your credit." As for the King of Jin, I have my own way to deal with it, so you go down first. ”

Zhao Kuangyin had already said this, and Shi Wei knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to retreat.

Shi Wei, who returned to the mansion, had been eating and sleeping poorly for a few days, anxiously waiting for Zhao Kuangyin's so-called "method of disposal".

Three days later, he finally waited for news from the palace.

The Son of Heaven had a decree to change the title of Zhao Kuangyin, the king of Jin, to the king of Qin, and also the envoy of the Deshun Army, that is, to set off for his post.

Zhao Kuangyin's will naturally shocked the government and the opposition, and even Shi Wei was quite surprised.

After pondering for a while, Shi Wei finally figured out the intention of Zhao Kuangyin's move.

Zhao Kuangyin knew that his younger brother had the intention of murdering him, but he was still unwilling to kill him, mostly to take into account the overall situation, so as not to cause civil strife.

But Zhao Kuangyin can't ignore this at the same time, if he continues to let it go, he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well if he keeps such a younger brother who wants to harm him.

So Zhao Kuangyin came up with such a method, I will neither kill you nor connive at you, but change your title to the king of Qin, expel you from the capital in disguise, and drive you to the west to be your envoy.

In this way, as long as Zhao Guangyi leaves Jingshi, it means that he has been expelled from the center of power and will no longer be able to make any waves.

The Shunde army was one of the northwestern border towns of the Great Song Dynasty, which was adjacent to the semi-separatist forces of the party led by the Li family, and if Zhao Guangyi wanted to support his own troops and rebel, he would inevitably gain the support of the party members.

Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the party members have been attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and the previous leaders, until the current Dingyan Army military envoy Li Guangrui, have been extremely loyal to the Song court.

In the previous attacks on the Northern Han Dynasty, this Li Guangrui sent troops to help, and from time to time he also presented horses to the imperial court to show his loyalty.

Zhao Kuangyin also treated Li very favorably, when Li Guangrui's father Li Yiyin was the envoy of the Dingyan Army, Zhao Kuangyin also personally supervised the production of jade belts for him, and when Li Yiyin died of illness, he also issued an order to abolish the three dynasties to show mourning.

The relationship between Zhao Kuangyin and the Li family can be said to be quite intimate, in this way, if Zhao Guangyi dares to have bad intentions and does not need the court to do anything, the Li family's party members will stab the knife from the back and take the opportunity to show loyalty to the court.

This will can be said to have completely cut off Zhao Guangyi's thoughts about the throne.

Zhao Guangyi had no room to resist, he had to obediently accept his fate.

The reason is very simple, after the self-imposed two-capital system, Zhao Guangyi's power has been greatly weakened.

Later, Zhao Pu re-entered the phase, and after a few tricks of old ways, Zhao Guangyi's power was damaged again.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was forced to resort to methods such as poisoning in order to make his final death throes.

Now that things are corrupt, the Son of Heaven has taken precautions, and if Zhao Guangyi is not obedient, there is only one way to die.

Zhao Guangyi, whose dream of the emperor was shattered, with his resentment and regret, obediently left Luoyang and went to the Shunde Army to take up his post.

Less than two months after Zhao Guangyi left, the Son of Heaven immediately ordered the cancellation of the two-Beijing system, with Luoyang as the permanent capital, and Tokyo Bianliang as the accompanying capital.

Now that the King of Jin is no longer the King of Jin, there is naturally no opposition to this will.

This series of changes came so suddenly, which made Shi Wei feel a little uncomfortable.

As soon as Zhao Guangyi left, Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that a thorn in his heart had finally been pulled out, and he could finally sit back and relax in the future.

However, he always had some worries in his heart.

Although Zhao Guangyi has rolled to the northwest, as soon as this person is said to be immortal, he will always be unable to be completely stable in his heart, and the Son of Heaven has not yet established Zhao Dezhao as the crown prince, which also makes him a little uneasy.

At noon, Shi Wei had just returned from the official office, and the palace sent someone to summon him to the palace for a visit.

To Shi Wei's surprise, the person who summoned him to the palace was not the Son of Heaven, nor Mrs. Hua Rui, but Empress Song.

This Empress Song is a remarkable figure.

Empress Song's mother is Princess Yongning, the daughter of Liu Zhiyuan, the Taizu of the Later Han Dynasty, and her father Song Wei is the grandson of Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty.

In the first year of Kaibao, the seventeen-year-old Song was included in the palace and became the third queen of Zhao Kuangyin.

In terms of age, Empress Song is twenty-five years younger than Zhao Kuangyin, and even one year older than Zhao Dezhao, but seven years older than Zhao Defang.

Shi Wei was thinking about this information about Empress Song, and at the same time hurried to the palace by car, and for some reason, he suddenly had a premonition that Emperor Song had summoned him to the palace this time, and it must not be as simple as seeing a doctor.

Entering the West Palace where the queen lived, the palace maid passed in, Shi Wei straightened his clothes and carried his medicine box into it calmly.

Turning a large screen, Shi Wei saw Queen Song lying on the couch inside the bead curtain.

"Weichen Shiwei, meet Niangniang." Shi Wei stepped inside and saluted.

"Shi Aiqing is exempt, come, give Shi Aiqing a seat."

The palace maid brought a chair, and Shi Wei sat down next to the couch. Although he had been in and out of the palace a lot before, he had no chance to see Queen Song, and this was the first time he had seen this queen mother.

At this time, the sandalwood of the furnace was curling, and there was a layer of bead curtains, although Shi Wei sat very close, but he couldn't see the dignity of Queen Song clearly.

He could only vaguely see that this Queen Song was at most twenty-five or sixteen years old, with very white skin, and it was estimated that she could be taken by Zhao Kuangyin, in addition to her family background, most of her was also a beauty.

Shi Wei didn't dare to look at it more, and asked: "The minister heard that Niangniang is unwell, but I don't know where Niangniang is uncomfortable, can you tell Weichen." ”

"This ......" Queen Song in the bead curtain wanted to speak and stopped.

Shi Wei looked at her like that, guessed what kind of gynecological disease it was, and said: "As a royal doctor, it is the duty of the minister to treat the mother, and the doctor only has the patient in his eyes, and there is no difference between men and women, and please tell the mother truthfully." ”

Empress Song paused for a moment, and then said, "You all go down, it's enough to have Shi Aiqing alone." ”
