In the palace.

In the early dynasties, Zhao Ting, the king of Wei, wrote a letter about the matter of the post-establishment of the post, and recommended the daughter of Song Wei, which was corresponded by most of the courtiers.

There were also some courtiers who proposed to make the noble concubine Xu the queen.

These courtiers are actually courtiers who figure out the holy will, and a few of them are people who buy Xu Su or fornicate with the Northern Han Dynasty on weekdays.

So above the court, people on both sides argued.

Zhao Ting's side is full of people, not to mention who dares to offend King Wei, he originally had the upper hand.

However, Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, suddenly stood up to support the concubine Xu.

Now the court is even more lively, the king of Jin has always liked to make friends with courtiers and form gangs, and there are many people who follow him, so they are all involved.

Loud and noisy and arguing.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect Zhao Ting to take the initiative to propose the post, and also recommended an ideal candidate.

also knows that Song Hao is his subordinate, and if Song Hao's daughter is established, it will be a good thing for Zhao Ting to take over smoothly in the future.

But at present, he still likes Xu Su in his selfish heart, but he is worried that if Xu Su is forcibly established, he will not only offend most of the courtiers, but also make Xu Su and Zhao Ting incompatible.

Helpless in his heart, the empire he founded single-handedly, such as today, has not yet been unified, and his ambition has not yet been rewarded, if he is shaken for a woman, whether it is worth it at all, whether love is important or national affairs is very important, he is entangled, and it is difficult for him to choose.

But thinking of Xu Su's delicate appearance of pear blossoms with rain every time he cried, he couldn't bear it.

He is not a womanizer, but his wife died of illness for many years, and he has lived in the army for a long time and has not continued to play.

Now I meet Xu Su is such a lovely person, charming and charming, and very good at the art of the house, but there are a few men who can easily refuse.

Thinking that if he didn't stand up, Xu Su would definitely be noisy, and the ministers in the palace below were even more noisy, and even the two royal brothers came forward to argue for their own camps.

"Alright!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted, upset by the noise.

The ministers in the palace hurriedly quieted down.

"After the establishment of the long-term consideration, retreat from the dynasty!" As he spoke, he stood up and snorted away.

The ministers also knew that it would not be a matter of a moment and a half, and they all dispersed after talking.

Only the kings of Wei and Jin were left in the palace.

"Third brother really wants to support Xu Guifei?" Zhao Ting asked.

"If I don't want to support it, you also see that the emperor's favorite candidate is Xu Guifei, the courtiers all know how to conform to the holy will, and of course the emperor's brother must also solve the emperor's difficulties."

"Really?"

"Naturally! Otherwise, what does the fourth brother think will be because of? Zhao Guangyi said without changing his face.

"The Xu clan is arrogant, vicious, and ruthless, and you also know the things you did in Shu. Even if the royal brother is favored for a while and has the idea of standing up, we should discourage it. Whether the third brother helped the Xu family really for the imperial brother or other reasons, he should know very well in his heart. Zhao Ting said with a cold face.

Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "What does this mean? Questioning my loyalty? So what do you mean by arranging for the daughters of your cronies to compete for the back position? ”

"is not a cronie, with the origin and appearance of the daughter of Song Wei, even if the whole country selects beauties, she is also the most qualified person to become the queen. I am not out of selfishness, but for the sake of the imperial brother, and based on this, so many courtiers will support it. ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly, "What you recommend is Gongxin, and what I recommend has another purpose." Fourth Brother...... Now that he has grown up and his wings are stiff, is he the king of Wei without a brother? ”

"Third brother!" He said sadly, "The younger brother didn't mean this, it was not easy for the three of us brothers to lay down this country, and now that the country was established, we really don't want to affect the feelings between brothers because of a ruthless woman." ”

Zhao Guangyi glared angrily and just wanted to scold.

"Your Highnesses, Your Majesty invites the two Highnesses to the Imperial Study!" A voice interrupted them.

The two turned their heads to see that it was the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at Zhao Ting, snorted heavily with his nose, turned around and strode out of the hall.

Zhao Ting looked at his back, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he walked behind.

Also in the imperial study is Zhao Pu.

Now Zhao Pu is the prime minister.

Zhao Kuangyin sat behind the bookcase with a cold face.

Zhao Pu didn't dare to speak, so he had to wait respectfully.

After a while, I saw the two brothers walking in one after the other with black faces.

"Sit down!" Zhao Kuangyin said.

The three of them thanked them and sat down on the chairs prepared on either side.

"Since the early dynasty has already discussed the matter of the future, let's talk about your thoughts!"

Zhao Pu Laocheng was serious and did not dare to speak first.

Zhao Guangyi was still sitting angrily, and he didn't mean to speak.

Zhao Ting had no choice but to say: "The meaning of the younger brother has been stated in the book, and the daughter of Song Wei is the most suitable candidate in terms of appearance and background. The mother of a country should be able to serve the world, and love the people. Song Wei has made outstanding achievements, and if he can make his daughter the queen, he will not only be convinced by the courtiers but also win the hearts of the courtiers. What's more, there will be a battle with the Northern Han Dynasty soon, and you have to rely on generals like Song Hao. This move was also a kind of appeasement and encouragement to other generals in the army. ”

Zhao Kuangyin listened quietly and did not speak.

Zhao Guangyi said loudly: "Concubine Xu Guifei is beautiful in the world, and she is deeply favored by the imperial brother. The daughter of Song Wei is only seventeen years old, how can she help the imperial brother lead the harem at such a young age?

The room was quiet.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyin asked, "What does Zhao Aiqing think?" ”

Zhao Pu said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks what the two Highnesses said makes sense. ”

"Then you always have to make it clear who you support, and you can't offend people on either side." Zhao Guangyi said impatiently, knowing that he had always been tactful, so he didn't show him mercy at all.

Zhao Pu reluctantly glanced up at Zhao Kuangyin's face slightly, and said hesitantly: "The minister thinks that Song Hao's daughter is more suitable!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded lightly.

"It is a family affair to establish a queen, not to mention that the whole world belongs to the emperor's brother, why not make the woman you love the queen?" Zhao Guangyi said loudly.

Zhao Kuangyin was silent.

"The emperor's family affairs are state affairs, the king of a country determines the rise and fall of a country, and the queen of a country is a model for the people. Only virtuous and virtuous people can assist the county lord to manage the harem and prosperous royal family. The harem is stable, and the imperial brother has better energy to take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty. ”

"How did the fourth brother know that the daughter of Song Hao was a virtuous and virtuous person?" Zhao Guangyi asked mockingly.

"Song Hao's daughter is both talented and beautiful, and she is famous in the capital. Song Wei's wife passed away early, and this woman was taking care of the affairs in the house. Although he is young, he is well organized with the whole house. Song Hao often praised, and there are many legends about it. ”

"Wheel talent, Xu Guifei's appearance can be called one of the best beauties in the world, so how beautiful can the daughter of Song Wei be Mrs. Hua Rui? Wheel talent, the poetry of the concubine is also appreciated by the royal brother. ”

"The mother of a nation is more important than character. Xu Guifei was ruthless and arrogant, and she did many hurtful things when she was in the palace of Shu Kingdom. The two elder brothers are not unaware. ”

"The evil deeds you are talking about are also legends, and I have not verified them. The matter after the establishment is also to share the worries of the royal brother, since he is the person who is loved by the imperial brother, he naturally wants to fight for the imperial brother. Zhao Guangyi said coldly.

The two argued.

"Alright!" Zhao Kuangyin said, "Don't fight, I'll think about it again." Stand down, all of you! ”

The three of them stood up and saluted, "Yes!" He bowed and exited the study.
