After a long time, a group of people finally returned to the tall and majestic Bianliang City, and Zhao Dezhao led the civil and military officials to stand at the gate of the city, respectfully waiting for the saint to return to Beijing. Zhao Guangyi looked at the three big characters written by himself on the city gate, Bianliang City, and recalled his pride when he left Tokyo a few months ago, and couldn't help but feel sad.

When Zhao Dezhao saw Zhao Guangyi, he hurriedly gave a deep salute and said: "Official, the battle of Youzhou was caused by the poor protection of the emperor's nephew and the generals, which caused the official family to encounter danger. ”

Cao Bin hurriedly said: "The official family, the defeat in this battle is the crime of the last general, and I hope that the official family will forgive the martial arts king and punish Cao Bin alone." ”

Pan Mei also said: "King of Wugong County, General Cao, you don't have to fight, I am the official family of the North Road to solicit, now that such a major event has happened, I should be punished Pan Mei." ”

The hundreds of officials behind the three also said: "Official, we are all responsible for the defeat of this battle, you can't punish one person alone, if you want to punish everyone, punish everyone!" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Guangyi smiled coldly, didn't want to say a word, and rode straight into Bianliang City, leaving Zhao Dezhao and other ministers far behind. Zhao Dezhao looked at Zhao Guangyi's distant back, sighed silently, looked up at the sky, and saw that the dark clouds in the sky had been blown away by the wind at some point, and the fiery red sun had reappeared in the sky.

Late at night, the arched hall is hanging.

On weekdays, the emperor is in the early dynasty, and the vertical arch hall stands in both sides of the Wendong and Wuxi, and the huge hall is crowded. At this time, it was dark night, and there was no one in the hall, not even a little light, only the bright moonlight poured on the blue bricks on the ground through the window lattice, reflecting the hall gloomy and solemn.

The dragon chair made of gold, which glows coldly in the moonlight, makes people feel sacred, but it rejects people from thousands of miles away. Throughout the ages, how many heroes have gone crazy for this dragon chair, giving up family, friendship and love, just to be able to get closer to this position, a little closer.

Suddenly, the magnificent palace door was slowly pushed open from the outside, and Zhao Guangyi slowly entered from outside the hall wearing a dragon robe. His back was slightly bent, and his steps became slightly staggering, and when he looked at the dragon chair in the middle of the hall, his eyes showed cherishment, longing, and even madness, but he was clearly like a young man.

Zhao Guangyi slowly walked through the spacious hall, walked to the dragon chair step by step, and finally stepped up to the jade majesty next to him with some difficulty, and walked to the extremely noble dragon chair. He stretched out his hands and gently and cordially caressed the finely carved and lifelike golden dragon on the dragon chair, which was not only like a cherished thing was lost, but also like a reunion with a beloved after a long absence.

Zhao Guangyi kept stroking, and he didn't want to let go for a moment, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, he would be taken away. He muttered to himself as he stroked it, "The world says that I am not in the right position, and even my most trusted members of the Qing family are eager to support the eldest son of my second brother as emperor after I disappeared. But who of you knows how much effort I have taken to get this position, and how do you know how much effort I spent governing the country after I ascended the throne? ”

He smiled bitterly and continued: "You don't know, you will never know, not only you don't know, but I'm afraid that no one will know after thousands of years. You have just done your duty as a courtier, and you all dream of being a high-ranking official, but I have done so much, who will reward me? Not only will I never get a reward, but I won't even have someone to say a few words of kindness. Looking at the world, there is no one else except those who want to fight against me, who want to rebel against me, who want to get rid of me and replace me. I thought that as long as I became the emperor, I would be fine, and then I killed Taizu by a ghost, but now I know that I was wrong, but unfortunately the second brother can never come back, if I am also down now, I really don't know what the world will become? ”

At this time, Wang Jien tiptoed in from outside the hall, still holding a wooden stick in his hand. His expression was very nervous, and the wooden stick was clenched tightly in his hand, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Zhao Guangyi heard the footsteps, subconsciously turned around, and shouted: "What person! Do you have to assassinate a widow in the middle of the night? ”

Wang Jien saw that the person in the hall was Zhao Guangyi, so he hurriedly threw the wooden stick, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "The official family, the miscellaneous family just heard the voice in the hall, so they came over to take a look." I don't know if you came here late at night, or if you were a rebel or thief, that's why this is ......"

Zhao Guangyi beckoned to Wang Jien and said, "Jieen, come here." Now I don't have anyone I can trust except you. ”

Wang Jien immediately knelt down in front of Zhao Guangyi and said, "Official, are you worried about the fact that the ministers support the establishment of the king of martial arts as the emperor?" ”

Zhao Guangyi sighed slightly and said, "Ji'en, you really know me, and you always seem to be able to guess what I'm thinking. It's a pity that you will succeed here, and you will lose here, and I am really worried that one day you will also join others to calculate me. ”

Wang Jien hurriedly said: "The official family, the miscellaneous family can have today, it is all given by the official family, how can the miscellaneous family calculate the official family?" If you don't believe it, the miscellaneous family will die in this hall! ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled, "I'm just talking, why should you take it seriously?" I don't know what you think about the matter of the martial arts king? ”

Wang Jien was bold and said: "The official family, Taizu's eldest son Dexiu died early, and the second son, Wugong Junwang, became the eldest son, and the ministers will support him as the emperor if there is a little wind and grass." If he had lived, this kind of thing would happen again sooner or later. According to the miscellaneous family, it is better to simply have a good time, so that it is a hundred. As he spoke, he wiped his hand on his neck and made a killing gesture.

Zhao Guangyi shook his head and said, "No!" Now many people suspect that I murdered Emperor Taizu, if I kill his flesh and blood again, how can the hundred officials agree? Besides, when I killed Taizu, I was also a ghost for a while, how could I still attack my loved ones again? ”

Wang Jien said: "The official family is merciful and refuses to attack his relatives, but the king of Wugong County may not think so." There must be a desire to seek revenge from the official. As the saying goes, 'the first strike is stronger', if the other party makes the first move, I am afraid that the official family will regret it too late! ”

Zhao Guangyi sighed when he heard this, "Alas, but after all, he is my imperial nephew, and he grew up with my own eyes." I am already sorry for my second brother, and my niece Chan Xue has also escaped into the empty door, how can I attack Dezhao and Defang's two nephews again? ”

Wang Jien had no choice but to say: "Official, since you are so benevolent, it is better to write this matter down for the time being, and only demote the ministers who support the king of martial arts, so that they no longer dare to threaten the official family." If the king of Wugong County has no more disobedience, the official family can also treat him with two crimes and kill the people of the world to convince him. ”

Zhao Guangyi pondered for a moment and said, "For this occasion, I have no choice but to do this." I hope Dezhao won't do anything out of the ordinary again, otherwise I will never be able to indulge it anymore! ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt another sharp pain in his buttocks, and hurriedly said, "Ji'en, my injury seems to have recurred." You quickly help me go back to the harem to rest, and then I will find all the imperial doctors, I will send a few good imperial doctors, bring a thousand taels of silver, and go to Luoyang to find a young man named Lu Mengzheng to diagnose his old mother in the family. ”

Wang Jien nodded, "Official, you can recuperate with peace of mind, these little things are remembered." Wang Jien has accompanied Zhao Guangyi through ups and downs for many years, and at this time he couldn't help but feel sad, hugged Zhao Guangyi and walked slowly out of the hall, the moonlight reflected on the gray hair of the two, and the two people who were no longer young were reflected in the aging of a lot.
