Zhao Pu waited quietly, always cautious in his words and deeds, and would never say much before he understood the situation.

Zhao Kuangyin personally walked over and helped him up, "Aiqing, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I've been thinking about it these days, and King Wei is not too young. My fourth brother is good at everything, the best among people, but he doesn't care much about the affairs of men and women, the queen mother left early, and the queen has just entered the palace and is still young. I am the only one who can help him with this. ”

"When did Your Majesty say that?"

"The candidate for Princess Wei, what advice does Ai Qing have?"

"This is a royal family matter, and ministers shouldn't talk too much."

"I'll tell you what you want to say."

"Since Your Majesty inquired, Weichen dared to speak. The selection of Princess Wei cannot be hasty, and it needs to be a beautiful lady with both virtue and virtue. ”

"Hmm," Zhao Kuangyin nodded.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Pu saw that he had no intention of objecting, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The matter of the Queen Mother's edict...... The selection of Princess Wei is particularly important, this is the future queen of the Great Song Dynasty. Weichen thought that he must be born in a wealthy family to deserve it. ”

"Aiqing said it well. But I thought that in the past dynasties, there was no cold family and no scholar family. I reuse you because I want to let the talented people in the Hanmen clan give full play to their talents. The selection of talents is not eclectic, and it is also necessary to take the opportunity to suppress the power of the wealthy families. Otherwise, I will be constrained by it when I rule the country. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Zhao Pu asked tentatively.

"I heard that Aiqing's eldest daughter has already performed a ceremony, can she be married?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of Weichen has been too doting since she was a child, and she is very noisy and refuses to marry, and the minister has no choice, so she is not allowed to marry someone."

"Haha......" Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile, "There are some personalities, and girls also have a petty temperament with their parents." ”

Zhao Pu smiled and said helplessly: "Although this child is extremely filial, his eyes are above the top, and many people who come to propose marriage can't look down on him, and Weichen is also a headache and helpless!" ”

"I don't know my Ting'er, can she see it?"

"The emperor joked, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is talented and martial, but if there is an unmarried daughter in the capital, who doesn't want to marry into the Wei Palace."

"Then how about letting your daughter marry King Wei and become the princess of Wei?"

Zhao Pu was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down, "The little girl is so honored, and Weichen is grateful." ”

"A hundred years later, the country will be handed over to Ting'er. If his queen is the daughter of a noble family, she can help him secure the throne at the beginning. But because of the huge power of these wealthy families, if the imperial power is not stable, it may also lead to the interference of foreign relatives in politics and become a disaster. Even if it doesn't make a disaster, I have to think about it for Ting'er today. ”

"Your Majesty has thought it through, and Weichen can't reach it."

"I trust Aiqing, and after a hundred years, I also hope that Aiqing can faithfully assist Ting'er."

"Your Majesty is in full bloom, why did he say this. Weichen is a retainer of the Zhao family, loyal to His Majesty, even if the little girl can't marry into the Wei Palace, Weichen is also the same heart for His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and will definitely help him wholeheartedly! ”

"Good!" Zhao Kuangyin happily patted the dragon case.

……

A few days later, the decree of marriage arrived at the palace of King Wei.

Zhao Ting listened to Dafoe read out the holy decree, but did not accept the decree, stood up and snatched the holy decree, and entered the palace angrily.

Zhao Kuangyin was reviewing the folds in the imperial study.

I can't wait for the palace people to rush in in stride.

"Meet the Imperial Brother!" He saluted with a huff.

Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head and looked at the folds in his hand intently, ignoring it.

After a while, Zhao Ting couldn't help but say, "Brother Huang must know what happened to his brother!" ”

He still didn't look up, just casually asked, "Oh?" What's the matter? ”

"The matter of marriage."

"Zhao Aiqing's eldest daughter, Zhao Zhiyin, is the same age as you, has outstanding appearance, and was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything meets the standards of Princess Wei, why are you not satisfied?" Finally put down the recital and looked up at him.

"It's not that Miss Zhao is bad, but the courtier's brother has a heart, and the royal brother knows it, why should he forcibly give marriage?"

"There is no conflict between having a heart and marrying a princess. As long as you marry Zhao Zhiyin, you can accept whoever you like as a concubine, you can accept as much as you want, and the royal brother will not stop you! If it's not enough, the palace will pick some more beauties to serve. ”

"Brother Huang!" Zhao Ting shouted angrily, "The younger brother swore that he would only marry Yun Xi in this life, and only she was the wife of the younger brother." In addition, no one can be the princess of Wei. ”

Zhao Kuangyin slapped the table and said angrily: "I also told you that she can be your concubine or confidant, whatever you want." Only the position of Princess Wei, she can't be it! ”

"Why?" He asked aloud without backing down.

"How can Princess Wei be from such a background? What's more, the words that your third brother said at the palace banquet that day were a bit excessive, but they were not unreasonable. Her reputation is not good now, how can she be the princess of Wei if she has been the favorite concubine of the enemy country. ”

"Brother Huang's words, Yun Xi did not accept Liu Jiyuan's canonization, and she is not a favorite concubine. What's more, the imperial brother didn't want to canonize Xu Guifei as the queen at the beginning, Xu Guifei was the favorite concubine of the enemy country, why couldn't she go to the courtier's brother? ”

"So didn't I finally listen to your advice and make the Song clan the queen? You were so eloquent at the time, but now you can't figure it out. ”

"How is this the same? Of course, the queen wants to be a person who can honor the world, and the wife of the younger brother does not need these, as long as they like each other, it will not affect the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"You'll know later, no need to ask." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't explain more, so he had to say loudly.

"What is the appearance of Mo Xi who can't be worthy of Princess Wei? Could it be because the Shangjia family is not decent enough? But now she is also the first-class county lord of the royal brother, why can't she be it? "Zhao Ting just doesn't understand, of course, he has to fight for it.

Zhao Kuangyin closed his mouth and didn't speak, he naturally knew this, but he was helpless in his heart, and he had to force it in order to think about it in the future.

"Brother Huang!" Zhao Ting walked up to him and pleaded, "The courtier brother has never begged the imperial brother, nor has he ever asked for any reward. Only the wife, the younger brother wants to make his own decisions, and asks the royal brother to take back the holy decree. ”

"You have no jokes, how can you take back the holy decree that has been made."

Zhao Ting looked at him and gritted his teeth and said, "If the imperial brother insists on this, the younger brother can only resist the decree!" ”

"You ......" I didn't expect him to be so insistent and stood up angrily, "I don't object to you being with Yun Moxi, why don't you take a step back?" Is Princess Wei's status so important to her? ”

"It's the royal brother who refuses to take a step back! Mo Xi doesn't care about her reputation, what she cares about is the loyalty and mutual support of the two. This is true of her heart, and so is the heart of her brother. In this life, she can not marry her brother or not, but there is no room for a third person between us. ”

"Do you know how much responsibility you have on your shoulders? How can you be reckless for a woman, the country of the Great Song Dynasty is meaningless to you? ”

"Why did the emperor say this? The ministers will assist and loyally protect the Great Song Dynasty. But what conflict does this have with the courtier's love for Moxi? The Great Song Dynasty's ministers want to guard, but Moxi is also the person who the ministers want to protect for the rest of their lives. ”

"Do you know what you should be guilty of resisting the decree?"

Zhao Ting knelt down and said resolutely: "If the imperial brother refuses to withdraw the holy decree of marriage, the younger brother can only accept it, and is willing to accept any punishment!" ”

"Resisting the decree is a capital offense?" He shouted.

"The heart of the younger brother to the end, even if he dies, his heart cannot be changed!"

Growing up closer than his own sons, he had never seen such disobedience, even at the cost of disobeying the holy decree.

Zhao Kuangyin was furious, and said hatefully: "I will order Yun Moxi to be executed!" ”

"Brother Huang!" Zhao Ting was horrified in his heart, and stepped forward and kowtowed heavily, but did not plead. "If the imperial brother does this, the younger brother will follow her." Life is the same life, and death is the same death! ”

"You threaten me?" Zhao Kuangyin trembled angrily.
