Volume 3 Three Changes: The Past Is Empty Like a Dream Chapter 294 The Balance of Power and Power

Zhao Kuangyin endured his anger and went to the forbidden army to inspect again, and returned to the palace. At dinner, Zhao Kuangyin had dinner with Mrs. Hua Rui, and put down his chopsticks without eating a few bites. He really couldn't calm down. If it weren't for the whim to go out and have a look, he really didn't know how long he would have been blinded. He only now understood how terrible the so-called blind eye was. I sat in the position of the emperor, and I was busy with countless state affairs every day, and I had to worry about wars. We have to worry about diplomacy and governing the country, and we are so busy with transportation, taxation, scientific research, and etiquette that we don't have the energy to pay attention to some small things.

He knew that there would inevitably be those who deceived and deceived their superiors and subordinates, but he didn't expect that Zhao Guangyi would have the ability to hide such a thing as rebellion, and he would not be able to hide it. He also deliberately sent the leader of the forbidden army to check if there was any abnormality, and asked several times. They all said that there was no change. Is it because the leader of the forbidden army is too dull? Or is he also Zhao Guangyi's person? Zhao Kuangyin couldn't be sure. Indeed, if he hadn't been born in the battlefield and planned the Chenqiao Mutiny, he wouldn't have paid so much attention to the change of guard at the city gate, and he could see the clues in an instant. If the leader of the forbidden army is changed because of this, one will startle the snake, and the other will have no suitable reason, but it will cause chaos within the forbidden army and panic, and it will be easier for Zhao Guangyi to use it to rebel.

Zhao Kuangyin was uneasy. Madame Hua Rui saw it clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is Your Majesty worried? Can't even eat? ”

Since Xiao Tao's incident, Zhao Kuangyin has been impressed by Mrs. Hua Rui. In the past, it was all trivial things in the palace, and the competition between women was jealous and petty, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't take it to heart. But in the matter of Xiao Peach, Mrs. Hua Rui really surprised him.

First of all, she has a strong comprehension, she just sent an attendant to tell her the reason briefly, and she could immediately come and put on a good show in front of Zhao Guangyi, and successfully left Xiao Tao in the palace; At the same time, she also has a strong executive power, when Zhao Guangyi was looking for her, she was a weak woman who was able to lock the tough Zhao Guangyi in the side hall, although she used incense. But the means are not important, the results are important; Again. The next day, facing Zhao Guangyi, she didn't change her face and her heart didn't beat, this kind of responsibility can be regarded as a woman.

Mrs. Hua Rui is so smart about ice and snow, Zhao Kuangyin is also willing to talk to her, and sighed: "It's not a matter of light and righteousness. ”

"King Jin?" Mrs. Hua Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "King Jin has always been His Majesty's right-hand man, and I heard that in today's court, King Jin is also above 10,000 people under one person." I don't know what else is not satisfying and worries His Majesty? After a pause, he asked, "Is it related to that peach girl from the Southern Tang Dynasty?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin frowned: "Relevant." Since Guangyi was with that Southern Tang official prostitute, it was like being lowered. Acting extremely irrationally. The official prostitute colluded with the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty and had ill intentions. Guangyi still spoils her in everything. Now it's for her sake, and even my brother doesn't pay attention to me, and secretly does a lot of tricks. I don't even know what to do. ”

Madame Blossom frowned slightly. couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, naturally you can't say the same, no matter how authoritative and meritorious King Jin is, after all, he is a courtier, why is Your Majesty so embarrassed?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head: "It is said that the emperor is a man of his word, but in fact, it is not true. Standing at the top of the court, all decisions must have a reason and a purpose. King Jin's current actions, although I am dissatisfied, but he has done things so that people can't find a handle. This is what worries me, I can't do anything, but the means are too strict and I'm afraid of chaos. Alas. "If it weren't for the fear of forcing Zhao Guangyi into a hurry and really blatantly rebelling, he really wanted to put him in the dungeon. But he still doesn't know how Zhao Guangyi lays out and how many chess pieces he has in his hands, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. At this moment, he misses Zhao Pu a little, if Zhao Pu is here, at least there is someone by his side to give advice.

Madame Blossom stroked her hair and fell into thought. Zhao Kuangyin's words were plausible, and Mrs. Hua Rui didn't know what he was referring to. But it is obvious that Zhao Kuangyin is dissatisfied with Zhao Guangyi. I'm even thinking about getting rid of him. is just afraid of Zhao Guangyi's prestige in the court. Mrs. Hua Rui smiled lightly, Zhao Kuangyin's psychology was touched, and the words were easy to follow him. Madame Blossom spoke, "Your Majesty, why should you hesitate. Your Majesty still has a foundation for thousands of years, not to mention that so many concubines in the harem need to rely on Your Majesty, especially Dezhao Defang, and even more so that Your Majesty will pave the way forward for them, so that no matter who inherits the unification, they can sit firmly in the world. Therefore, even if Your Majesty thinks about the inheritance of his descendants, he must be decisive. ”

Mrs. Hua Rui didn't know that there was a Jinkui Alliance, but these words hit Zhao Kuangyin's heart, he was not happier than just now, this Dezhao Defang was Zhao Kuangyin's heart disease, if it wasn't for the Jinkui Alliance of Na Laoshizi, the world should have been passed on to his son. Why should the world he worked so hard to build be given Guangyi? I couldn't help frowning even tighter.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was silent, Mrs. Hua Rui didn't say more. There was silence in the room. After a long time, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said in a deep voice: "I have a deep relationship with Guangyi Kunzhong, I didn't want to fight with Guangyi, but now, he is really high and has gone too far." ”

Mrs. Hua Rui hooked her lips, Zhao Kuangyin is always like this, what she wants to say is always let others say it, I don't know if he has no confidence, or if he wants to borrow someone else's mouth to alleviate his guilt. Madame Hua Rui was so understanding, she only smiled and said: "Your Majesty is kind and kind, but if it really comes to the point of survival, the kindness of a woman will only make Your Majesty regret it." ”

Mrs. Hua Rui is really a clear person, and everything has been said in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, Zhao Kuangyin did not speak again, but her heart became more determined. Zhao Guangyi is unkind, don't blame him for being a brother. Conspiracy? Nature can't be let go. It's just, what should I do? How do I do it?

That night, Zhao Kuangyin rested in Mrs. Hua Rui's bedroom, and slept unsteadily all night.

Early the next morning, Zhao Kuangyin personally issued a holy decree and found an excuse, only saying that a chamberlain in the palace had stolen the royal belongings and escaped. He ordered the most trusted team in the forbidden army to divide into several teams to assist in guarding the city gates. In this way, they placed their own people at the gates of the city without revealing the mountains. If something goes wrong, let the news out immediately. He didn't dare to replace the Lord Sun who was in charge of the transfer of the city gate, so as not to cause chaos in the court.

In the morning, Zhao Kuangyin just issued a holy decree, and in the evening, Zhao Guangyi entered the palace to ask for a meeting. Zhao Kuangyin was watching the singing and dancing in Mrs. Hua Rui's palace, and now he can't wait to come to Mrs. Hua Rui every day, to be accompanied by the interpretation of flowers, and his mood can relax a lot. Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's grace increasing day by day, Mrs. Hua Rui only felt that everything she had was worthwhile.

After listening to Zhao Guangyi's request to see him, the muscles on Zhao Kuangyin's face stiffened, and he hadn't thought about how to deal with him next, so he came to the door first. Anyway, Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand: "Xuan." He wanted to see what tricks he was playing this time.

Zhao Kuangyin ordered the singing and dancing to be withdrawn, and ordered Mrs. Hua Rui to also go to the inner room behind the screen. Not long after, Zhao Guangyi walked in in a purple robe with a green jade crown on his head. Step by step, he was calm and powerful, and his whole body seemed to have a solemn aura than before. Zhao Kuangyin was shocked in his heart. Wai Shi Di.

After Zhao Guangyi saluted, he said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, my brother entered the palace for only one thing. The attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty was originally the minister's brother who was responsible for supervising the army, but now he may not have returned to the battlefield for a long time, and the minister's brother implores him to join the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Into the Southern Tang? Zhao Kuangyin didn't understand. Didn't Zhao Guangyi always want to go to Nantang? Why did you run in without a head and a brain to go to Nantang? That's weird. A sudden change of hexagram must be profitable. But what is the picture, Zhao Kuangyin can't figure it out.

Could it be that Xiao Tao told him the truth? Probably not, if he knew the truth, he could still be honest here? I must have jumped to my feet and asked him for that little obstacle. Zhao Kuangyin was worried. Although he had a smile on his face, he had already begun to think about it quickly.

Early this morning, he added a large number of his forbidden army cronies to the guards of each city gate, so that Zhao Guangyi's good people were coerced, so if he wanted to rebel, the city gate would not be controlled by him. If there are reinforcements outside, they can't get in, and they can't get out if they are inside. From this point of view, he does not have much power in Kaifeng City, and he must not be able to withstand the number of forbidden troops. Otherwise, he could quickly capture the palace, so that even if his own reinforcements came in, Zhao Guangyi would have time to transfer his own reinforcements.

From this point of view, he is going to the battlefield of the Southern Tang Dynasty, saying that he is supervising the army, but in fact, he wants to hold the military power into his own hands, either kill it back then, or rebel on his own. It must be so. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin frowned: "No need. Isn't there still a lot of things to deal with in Kaifeng Mansion? ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled coldly: "The imperial brother is really changing the order. Before, he was looking forward to me going to Nantang, but now he refuses to let me out of Kaifeng City. I don't have any other ideas, but the covenant has not been found, and the deadline given by His Majesty is almost up. I really can't do it, I'm worried, and suddenly found that Tao Niang knew that Runzhou's naval army was armed, so I begged Your Majesty to let her atone for her sins, if she really attacked Runzhou according to the information she provided, Your Majesty will release her? ”

"She knows about the defense of the navy?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes narrowed, the woman's mouth was very tight, how could Zhao Guangyi find out? I couldn't help but ask, "How is that possible, how do you know?" Did she take the initiative to tell you? ”

"Of course not." Zhao Guangyi said lightly, "She didn't pay attention to what leaked out." A few days ago, the younger brother knew that he persuaded her to make meritorious service by taking advantage of the situation. But she didn't agree, but after entering the palace the day before yesterday, she seemed to have suddenly figured it out. I agreed. The younger brother also wondered, why did she suddenly understand so much, it was like this earlier, how much trouble was saved. As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin fixedly.
