Empress Dowager Du leaned on the gilded phoenix bed, looking at the nine phoenix Chengxiang above her head, she never thought that she could come this far in this life and enjoy the glory of this supreme. It would be nice if her husband were still alive and seeing such a spectacle. It's a pity that he left early, and he didn't feel long in this glory and wealth, so he had to accompany him.

Outside the curtain, Lan Gu replied softly: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Prime Minister, the Squire and other adults have arrived. ”

Empress Dowager Du came back to her senses and asked, "Is Guangyi here?" ”

Lan Gu replied, "Here it is." "Ya is looking for the order to carry.

Empress Dowager Du asked Lan Gu to sit up, opened the brocade curtain on the bed, and Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly came up to help her, shushing the cold and asking for warmth. The days of Empress Dowager Du are something that everyone knows well, and Zhao Kuangyin also tries to find more time to come over to accompany her. It's just that Zhao Guangyi was in the palace recently. He didn't come often, and now when he sees Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Kuangyin always feels a little awkward, Zhao Guangyi's eyes are gloomy, cold, and the former Kunzhong is deeply affectionate, I don't know when I can no longer find a trace between them.

Empress Dowager Du raised her hand to call Zhao Guangyi to her side, and pulled Zhao Kuangyin with one hand. Holding Zhao Guangyi in one hand, he folded their hands together, and smiled kindly: "In my life, I have come to this day, and I am very content." When your father was alive. Respect me. Care about me. He left early, but left me with a few good children. I haven't suffered a trace of grievances over the years, and I often tell Lan Gu that I was born to be blessed in this life. Even if you go now, you won't have any regrets. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were a little red when he said this, and he said slightly: "Mother, what are you talking about, what can't you go, it's just a disease." Well, there is still a blessing, my son has not built a palace for you, planted the flowers and plants you love—"

Empress Dowager Du patted Zhao Kuangyin's hand: "Okay." Know that you are filial. The present blessing is satisfied. However, I can't rest assured that it's you. Originally, you and Guangyi were able to defend one side, and they were already dragons and phoenixes among people. I never thought that you could ascend to the sky in one step, become the honor of the Ninety-Five, and win the world. But it is easy to get the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. Although it is an unexpected honor to have the surname Zhao in this world, since you have it, you must keep it. Therefore, I have to say a few words, so I can go to the bottom in the future, worthy of the ancestors of the Zhao family. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Mother, please speak." ”

Empress Dowager Du continued: "The reason why the Great Zhou lost the world is because the emperor is too young, how can orphans and widows control the country? Look at the civil and military generals in the court, when the emperor is mighty, they are all meritorious and good generals, but once the emperor is weak, they will become tiger and wolf soldiers in turn, and they can't wait to knock you down. ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled a little embarrassedly when she heard Empress Dowager Du mention Da Zhou, but she also admitted that her mother's analysis was very reasonable. Empress Dowager Du has never been a woman with long hair and short knowledge, and now these words are even more in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, and she can't help nodding frequently.

Empress Dowager Du said again: "You got married late, and now Dezhao and Defang are too young. The Great Song Dynasty had just been established, and its foundation was unstable. Asari is mostly an old minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and he may fight back at any time. Dezhao or Defang became the prince, but I am afraid that he will end up like Chai Zongxun in the future. I think about it these days, but I still can't take risks. It's better to be in the prime of Guangyi, it's better to establish Guangyi as the prince, after Guangyi, there is Guangmei, and then succeeded by Dezhao Defang, what do you think? ”

Empress Dowager Du's words shook Zhao Kuangyin there like a thunderbolt from the sky, he just heard Empress Dowager Du's words and it was reasonable, but as soon as the conversation changed, how did he pull the prince to Zhao Guangyi? I only heard that it is natural for the son to inherit Lao Tzu's country, but how can I hear that the younger brother inherits the brother's country?

Zhao Kuangyin turned his head to look at the prime minister Wang Pu who was standing aside, he was silent, Wang Pu was the prime minister of the original Great Zhou, Zhao Kuangyin deliberately let Wang Pu continue to serve as the prime minister in order to stabilize the hearts of the old ministers of the Zhou Dynasty. At this moment, Empress Dowager Du called Wang Pu and asked him to refute it, and looked at Zhao Pu again, Zhao Pu nodded slightly. Zhao Kuangyin smiled reluctantly and said to Empress Dowager Du: "Queen Mother, it's still early for this matter." ”

"It's not too early. Only when the national reserve is settled as soon as possible will there be no worries. Now you have the burden of a country on your shoulders, and you must prepare for everything in advance. Empress Dowager Du said while coughing.

"What the Queen Mother said is very true." Wang Pu added a sentence in a timely manner. He is not interested in who will be the prince, but as an old minister of the Zhou Dynasty, it is quite interesting to watch the usurping emperor and his younger brother entangled.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't, so he had to nod reluctantly: "That is the case, my mother is reasonable." The retainers obeyed. ”

Empress Dowager Du looked at Zhao Pu and said, "Over the years, you have helped Kuang Yin take care of the inside and out, and I have never treated you as an outsider." Write down today's events. ”

Zhao Pu was busy, took a pen and paper from the side, wrote down what the Empress Dowager Du said about the emperor's brother and brother, wrote it and read it again to the Empress Dowager Du. Empress Dowager Du nodded slightly, and Zhao Pu dropped the words "Chen Puji" again.

Wang Pu looked at Zhao Kuangyin, who had a bad face, and then at Zhao Guangyi, who was sneering on the side, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, this throne is a demon mirror, which can shine everyone's faces. The two brothers who were in love at the beginning, don't they have their own ideas in the face of the throne now? The elder brother didn't want to give it, and the younger brother didn't let it either. It is not surprising that such a person snatched the throne of the Great Zhou in a hurry with a white face. Wang Pu hooked his lips and smiled lightly.

After Zhao Pu finished writing, Empress Dowager Du ordered Lan Gu to take it and lock it in a copper cabinet on one side. smiled at Zhao Kuangyin: "This major event is decided, I am in the ground, and I am at ease." ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled without embarrassment, and after a few words of greeting, he shirked something and left in a hurry with Zhao Pu. Wang Pu also retired. Back in the inner room, Zhao Kuangyin kicked the stool out and slammed it on the desk: "The queen mother is too eccentric." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Pu to answer, he said angrily: "What do you say Dezhao is young?" Dezhao is still young when he is thirteen? Besides, I'm not going to die today! I will live at least another ten years, and Dezhao will be twenty-three, what is young? It's obviously an excuse to give the throne to that kid. ”

Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't say bad things. No taboos, no taboos. ”

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said: "This is the throne, and it's not the iron ball when I was a child, one after the other." What a woman's opinion! ”

Zhao Pu said lightly: "Today is just a promise to coax the old lady to be happy." What to do in the future is not a piece of paper. ”

Zhao Kuangyin stared at Zhao Pu: "What do you have in mind?" ”

Zhao Pu said: "Today's matter, only Your Majesty, Wang Pu, Guangyi and I know. Your Majesty and I don't have to talk about it, plug Wang Pu's mouth, and leave Guangyi, it depends on whether he is interested or not. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's heart chuckled, and then he shook his head and said, "Look again, look again." "Let him do it to Zhao Guangyi for this, he can't do it anyway.

Zhao Pu smiled and didn't say anything.

Zhao Guangyi was standing by the bedside of Empress Dowager Du, his eyes were a little hollow: "Mother, the second brother cares so much about the throne, why do you want to poke his weakness?" That throne is of little use to me. ”

Empress Dowager Du squeezed Zhao Guangyi's hand tightly, not feeling good in her heart. She knows her children best, Guangmei is young, and her personality has not been formed. And Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, one is a tiger and the other is a wolf, neither of them can be willing to live under people. Zhao Guangyi has no interest in the throne now, but when he knows that Kuang Yin killed his first child, drove away his beloved woman, and even killed her, can he still be indifferent? In order to get this country, Guangyi paid a greater price. Instead of fighting between tigers and wolves at that time, it is better to make your own decisions now and pass on the country to Guangyi. She can't talk about who she prefers, Kuang Yin, Guangyi, she loves them all, but she feels more sorry for Guangyi. And all she can do is do her best to make them all okay and not fight.

Empress Dowager Du smiled at Zhao Guangyi: "He is not what you think, he is willing to give up his seat to you." Guangyi, no matter what, he is your brother and your relative, you don't have a grudge against him. ”

Zhao Guangyi gave the quilt to the Empress Dowager Du and dragged it up, and was a little panting, and after a break, he listened to the Empress Dowager Du talk about many naughty things about him and Zhao Kuangyin when he was a child, and then retreated.

On the second day of the sixth month, Empress Dowager Du collapsed in the Zide Palace and completed her honorable life. Zhao Kuangyin immediately sent someone to seal the Zide Hall as soon as Empress Dowager Du died, opened all the cabinets, and looked for the paper written by Zhao Pu that day to pass on the throne to Zhao Guangyi, but searched inside and out, but did not find it.

Zhao Kuangyin scolded his subordinates for being stupid, and went to find them himself, but he also searched all the cabinets and boxes, and even searched under the bed, but he didn't find it, and couldn't help but scold Zhao Pu: "That kid took the lead again." "That covenant is in Zhao Guangyi's hands, and he can't sleep soundly.

Zhao Pu squinted and smiled, but did not answer. After a while, he said: "It doesn't matter who takes it, it matters if you take the queen mother's affairs first." If it is decided today, the remaining forces of the Zhou Dynasty have almost been cleared. It is time to regain the military power, so that the matter of the yellow robe will not be repeated in others. ”

Zhao Pu's words made Zhao Kuangyin's heart tremble, it was time to readjust the military power.

After the funeral of the Empress Dowager Du was completed, Zhao Guangyi's body was a little slippery, and the whole person was empty from the inside out. He sent many people to Nantang to inquire about Xiao Tao's grave, and finally someone returned the news at the end of June. In a cemetery on the outskirts of Jinling, a tomb without a monument was found. That cemetery is the burial place of the singer or dancing girl in the teaching workshop after she died, and the tomb is said to be buried in the days when the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty went, and the time is the closest.

When Zhao Guangyi heard the news, his heart was torn and painful, and he coughed for a long time, almost out of breath. After a long time, he adjusted his breathing smoothly and said to the returnee: "Three days later, you will come with me to Jinling to see the tomb." ”
