Chapter 54: Ascending to the Court Again

Hearing this, Duan Siping was stunned for a moment and said, "After you helped me destroy Zheng Maihei Yang Deng and his gang that day, when it came time to reward you for meritorious deeds, you refused to accept all of them;

Hearing that Duan Siping was so benevolent and righteous, Li Yuanhao and Zhao Weiming bowed down to Duan Siping again and again, and the three parties agreed: 'In the future, they will depend on each other and never offend each other!'

'A meal was eaten until the head of the moon, and the people who congratulated the birthday dispersed. Zhao Weiming, who had just taken off his clothes and was about to rest when he returned to the palace, heard a report from the palace that Emperor Renzong was coming to visit.

Not daring to hesitate for a moment, Zhao Weiming hurriedly put on his clothes and took a little bit, and quietly waited for Renzong to arrive.

Not long after, after Renzong came, after a few words of condolences to Zhao Weiming, he retired all the palace people.

At this moment, when only Renzong and Zhao Weiming were left in the matching hall, Renzong suddenly said to Zhao Weiming, "I also know the means of the royal brother, and there is no one here now;

Zhao Weiming was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "The imperial brother must be drunk!"

Renzong smiled and said, "But back then, Taizu obviously had an heir, but he was succeeded by my grandfather Taizong;

Hearing this, Zhao Weiming hurriedly knelt down and said, "Brother and brother, there is already a case in ancient times;

After speaking, he got up and said, "The imperial brother has learned the strategy of governing the country since he was a child, but the younger brother was born in the mountains and wilderness; although you and I are both descendants of the Zhao family, the circumstances are completely different, and there is already a certain number in the dark; the imperial brother only needs to govern the country in the imperial court with peace of mind, and I will do my best to assist the imperial brother in the rivers and lakes to protect my ancestors!"

After hearing this, Renzong smiled with satisfaction, and then summoned a group of guards waiting outside the palace to take his leave and go back to the palace.

In the middle of the night, when Zhao Weiming, who had drunk a stomach of wine, got up to relieve himself, he suddenly remembered Renzong's words last night, and suddenly a shadow flashed in his heart: "Could it be that the imperial brother is wary of me?"

In fact, in Zhao Weiming's heart, not only was he deeply impressed by Renzong's ability to govern the country, but his generosity and kindness also made Zhao Weiming extremely respectful.

Suspicious together, there is no sleep. finally caught the dawn, that is, hurried to the Chengtian Temple to discuss with Renzong.

Unexpectedly, just after walking a short distance, he met Renzong, who had come to the early dynasty in a hurry. 'Brother Huang, you got up so early!

Zhao Weiming greeted. 'As a human king, you should be diligent,' Renzong replied. After explaining his intentions to Renzong, he was about to turn around and leave, but Renzong insisted that Zhao Weiming participate in the early dynasty with him.

Stubborn, Zhao Weiming had no choice but to follow into the Chengtian Palace. This time, Renzong did not let Zhao Weiming resign himself to the background.

only instructed the palace people to bring a high chair to the head of the hall first, and let Zhao Weiming sit in the hall to listen to the government. When the hour came, as soon as the time came, and after all the officials had arrived, Renzong walked in front of Zhao Weiming, held his shoulders and said aloud to the ministers, "Before today's discussion, I will introduce my royal brother Zhao Weiming to all Aiqing!"

He was originally the grandson of Taizu Di and the son of King Dezhao of Wei. But he has no intention of national politics, he only wants to be a master of the rivers and lakes, so I specially approved him to be given the title of 'King Yi', and he can listen to the tune or not listen to the announcement!

As soon as he heard that this stranger was actually the grandson of Taizu Di, someone in the court immediately began to whisper.

Seeing this, Zhao Weiming immediately got up, and after removing the chair, he said aloud to the ministers, "Today's Emperor Renzong is holy and benevolent, and all the people admire!"

Although I am the grandson of Taizu Di, I am loose by nature, and I am only willing to assist my imperial brother with you in the mountains and wilderness, and jointly protect the Great Song Dynasty!

When he had finished speaking, he retreated to the last corner of the hall and stood solemnly. Seeing this scene just now, the ministers couldn't help but secretly praise in their hearts, 'This descendant of the Zhao family is really extraordinary, all of them are open-minded people!'

A little episode ended, and the morning court continued. After rounds of repeated admonitions and deliberations, the early dynasty that made Zhao Weiming feel bored finally came to an end.

After the hundred officials dispersed, Renzong ordered the palace people to open a warm pavilion in the hall and lead Zhao Weiming in.

Seeing Zhao Weiming's puzzled face, Renzong explained, "This is Taizu's personal private treasury back then, and there are a lot of relics of him;

Hearing what Renzong said, Zhao Weiming hurriedly looked at the indoor situation. There was not much space and not much to put on it, except for a stack of books, scrolls, and a few weapons hanging or leaning on the walls.

Renzong took down a broken stick connected by an iron chain hanging on the wall and introduced it to Zhao Weiming, "This thing was created by Taizu, called the Panlong Stick; it was used by Taizu to capture Han Tao, who was known as the first warrior of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the first general in the world, and defeated the Southern Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

After speaking, Renzong picked up a scroll leaning against the wall and sighed, "Taizu died early in the prime of life, but it's a pity for this thing!"

Zhao Weiming hurriedly took the scroll. When I opened it, it turned out to be a map called 'Sea Country Territory Map'.

I saw a vast sea dotted with islands, and each island was marked with a description of its name, area, and properties, which was extremely detailed.

Renzong glanced at the map and sighed, "Although these islands are the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they are all uninhabited desert islands;

Seeing that Renzong's regret was beyond words, Zhao Weiming had the intention to take this picture away to avoid making Renzong sentimental again.

He begged, 'Just now, the imperial brother asked me to take a relic of Taizu for my thoughts, and the younger brother only wants this 'map of the territory of the sea country';

"If the royal brother likes it, take it away!" Hearing this, Zhao Weiming immediately rolled up the map again and brought it with him.

After leaving the warm pavilion, Zhao Weiming was about to leave, but was stopped by Renzong. Immediately, he called in another person from outside the hall and pointed it out to Zhao Weiming, 'Royal brother, please see, who is this?'

Seeing Zhao Weiming's look of astonishment, Renzong explained, "This is Zhao Shun, the son of 'Gui Yin', 'Gui Yibo', and after you went to investigate the murder of King Duan that day, I sent him to assist you!"

Zhao Weiming was even more stunned. Originally, he thought that the person sent by the Ren Sect to help was the head catcher Tie Zhan of Bianjing City, but he didn't expect it to be the generation of Sword Venerable Ye Xiao that he admired the most!

asked him to go to Jiangning Mansion to assist Zhao Weiming in investigating the case of the murder of Duanwang's family. Zhao Weiming was taken aback when he saw it.

The person who came turned out to be Ye Xiao!
