Chapter 30 The Strange Emperor

In Shi Wei's image, the emperors' leisure and entertainment activities were nothing more than listening to music, enjoying dances, hunting and so on.zzww.

If you are more elegant, you will recite poems and write melodious styles. If you are more bold, you will play polo and kick Cuju.

Or maybe Qian Qian is just having sex in the palace and is romantic and happy.

As for the special ones, there are also those who like Emperor Yaoqi of the Ming Dynasty who loves carpentry, which is a strange flower among emperors.

However, Emperor Yaoqi had a bad reputation in history, but Zhao Kuangyin was a generation of emperors known as the "Tangzong and Song ancestors". It was indeed strange that he would have the hobby of "fighting birds" that was not on the table.

Wang Ji'en said that His Majesty is currently visiting a certain imperial concubine, and it seems to sound more tasteful than "fighting birds".

"Song Taizu, who likes to kill birds, is interesting..."

Shi Wei was now more interested in Zhao Kuangyin, and he couldn't wait to see his style.

"I entered the palace today because I have important matters to report to my father. Please tell me about it." Zhao Dezhao did not give up asking for a visit because his father was relaxing.

The eunuch Wang Jien led him into three groups and led him to a pavilion in the imperial garden.

When Shi Wei walked into the pavilion, he found that there were already several officials in the pavilion. It seemed that there was a temporary matter and he had to report it to the emperor in person.

When the officials saw the second prince coming, they greeted each other.

Wang Jien smiled and said, "Your Majesty is shooting birds there. Your Highness and a few big masters wait for a while. The old slave will go and send a message."

The officials were immediately overjoyed and said thank you. It seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time. Wang Jien sold the second prince's face before he was willing to disturb the emperor's "Yaxing". They were also benefiting from Dezhao's glory.

Shi Wei stood beside the pavilion and looked up as Wang Ji'en's direction. Not far outside the pavilion, there was indeed a middle-aged man in a yellow robe holding up his own slingshot, gathering the gods to beat the birds on the branches.

I think this is the current young man Zhao Kuangyin.

Apart apart, Shi Wei could not see Zhao Kuangyin's face clearly, but his figure was long and strong, and he looked quite heroic.

However, it was just such a majestic body, holding a small slingshot in his hand, and staring at the birds on the branches seriously. Whenever he hit it, he would scream excitedly like a child.

This picture makes people feel that it is somewhat inconsistent with its supreme imperial dignity.

Shi Wei has seen the world. Although he is about to face the emperor of the ages, his expression remains the same as usual in a single day, except for his slightly fluctuating mood.

As for Fan Ruoshui beside him, he was not so calm. Shi Wei looked at him inadvertently and found that he had already sweated coldly at some point.zzww.

Seeing his panic, Shi Wei comforted him: "Now Yaozi is a wise monarch who respects wise men. Ruoshui, don't be too panicked."

"I naturally know this, but this is the first time I have seen the emperor, Brother Yuanzhi. If the Yaozi is summoned to the right place later, you should try to deal with it as much as possible to avoid me from saying the wrong words in fear." Fan Ruoshui said, wiping the sweat beads on his forehead.

Looking at Fan Ruoshui's sweating profusely, Shi Wei shook his head and smiled, nodded helplessly.

A moment later, Zhao Kuangyin finished his bird shooting at the other end of the forest, and walked towards the pavilion with a slingshot rack in his hand. Wang Jien followed behind, carrying a string of birds that were still chirping.

When Shi Wei saw Yaozi coming, he hurriedly bowed his body and bowed his head to show his respects, shouting long live the mountain.

"Let's just flat." Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and walked into the pavilion, his tone was kind.

As everyone came to thank him, Shi Wei raised his head slightly, Fang Shi saw Zhao Kuangyin's true appearance for the first time.

But Zhao Kuangyin saw thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide nose, and a face with a square character with a national character, which was quite windy and frosty, and was extremely powerful when he looked around.

"I say that the current emperor looks so handsome and has a great reputation. When I see him today, I am indeed well-known."

When Shi Wei sighed secretly, Zhao Kuangyin had already sat down, wiped his hands and said, "What are you important? If you don't talk about it at the court meeting, you must come when you are in a precaution."

Zhao Dezhao and others were busy and accused him of the crime, but they all claimed that there was something important and they had to ask the young man to determine it as soon as possible.

Although Zhao Kuangyin looked a little unhappy, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, since there is something important, hurry up and tell me. I see, Mr. Wang, you came first, so you can talk first."

Zhao Kuangyin did not ask Dezhao to speak first because he was his son, but instead ordered the King of the Ministry of Rites to report first in the order of coming first.

Seeing this, Shi Wei couldn't help but secretly praise Zhao Kuangyin for his justice.

The Minister of the King seemed to be a straightforward minister. He did not know how to be polite to the second prince. He immediately took out the memorial prepared in advance and read it out in front of the crowd with an octave voice.

When Shi Wei heard this, he found that the comments of the Minister Wang were just some proposals about the Imperial Academy, and it seemed that it was not an important matter.

However, this Assistant Wang is obviously a small thing that can be finished in just a few words. He is just a few words and he talks with a thousand words.

Shi Wei looked at it quietly, and as expected, Zhao Kuangyin's face gradually calmed down as he listened.

It can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin was very upset.

However, the great Song Yaozi still patiently listened to Mr. Wang’s report.

After the Minister of the King finished saying the words "Please determine the rules of Your Majesty", Zhao Kuangyin flattened his mouth and said unhappily: "You have been talking for a long time. Why do I hear all the trivial matters of sesame and mung beans? How can I count as important?"

The emperor scolded his ministers for a few words, which was normal. If it were to be a sidetrack, he might have tolerated it.

However, the King's face darkened and he said lukewarmly: "Although what I have reported is not a very important matter, I think it is more important than the matter of Your Majesty's killing birds."

As soon as this statement was spoken, Zhao Kuangyin was furious.

You should know that although Zhao Kuangyin respects studying very much, he was born as a martial artist and his character is deeply rooted in his bones.

In front of the crowd, the Minister of the King openly mocked Zhao Kuangyin for killing birds. Not to mention Zhao Kuangyin, other emperors would still be angry.

"You are so brave, you dare to laugh at me!"

The Great Song Yaozi jumped up from the chair, and became angry. He picked up the slingshot from the stone table and smashed it into the face of the Minister Wang.

"Stop the anger of the father"

Zhao Dezhao was surprised and wanted to wait for advice, but it was no longer enough.

Seeing the emperor taking action, the King of the King was not afraid and stood there with his body straight, without any intention of hiding.

This time, with a crisp "bang", the iron slingshot rack hit the mouth of Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang groaned, his weak body took a few steps back, and he opened his mouth and spit out a pool of blood. By the way, two small white things splashed to the ground.

Shi Wei looked carefully and found that the two front teeth were falling on the ground.

Such a "bloody scene" was really beyond Shi Wei's expectations. Even though he had seen the world, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

Fan Ruoshui, who was standing beside him, was even more frightened. His eyes looked at Shi Wei, and he was clearly complaining: Didn’t you say that the Song Dynasty is a wise ruler who is respectful and polite? Is there any wise ruler who beats the ministers all over the ground in public?

Shi Wei grinned helplessly, meaning that I couldn't figure out what was going on.

This scene scared everyone present, and the atmosphere in the pavilion was extremely tense for a moment.

Zhao Kuangyin was also a little stunned, with a little regretful look in his eyebrows. It seemed that he just wanted to scare the Minister of the Wang Dynasty. How could he expect that the other party would be beaten up with a tough bullet and didn't even know how to hide.

In the tight atmosphere, the unlucky Mr. Wang looked calm. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, crawled on the ground and found two bloody teeth, and then carefully picked it up and put it in his arms.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin said coldly: "Do you still want to find a place to sue me and keep that one as evidence?"

The Minister of the King was fearless and answered seriously: "Of course there is no place to report to Your Majesty. I just want to take these two teeth to the historian. The historian will record this matter. I will leave my name in history. These two teeth are worth it."

Hearing this, Shi Wei almost laughed out loud, thinking that this Minister Wang was too cute, so he used such a thing to "threaten" the emperor.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he was shocked. His originally angry face changed into a smile in a blink of an eye.

"Wang Aiqing's words are so serious. I'm just joking with you just now. Who would have thought that you would not hide? This is all my mistake. Don't forget to get to your heart."

Zhao Kuangyin was polite and comforted the Minister Wang with great persuasion. He tactfully apologized. In the end, he issued an order to reward him with a large sum of gold and silver under the name of his loyalty to his duties.

The Minister of the King was calmly "bribed" by Zhao Kuangyin, and then decided not to "report" to the historian, but submitted the previous memorial and asked Zhao Kuangyin to determine it.

Zhao Kuangyin read it carefully and then read it happily.

The Minister of the King was satisfied and praised him a few words, "Your Majesty is wise" before he left.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and sent the Minister of the King away. Then he listened to the report from the other officials and gave instructions one by one.

It took a whole hour to send the civil servants away.

After sending away the difficult civil servants, Zhao Kuangyin breathed a sigh of relief, but said to Zhao Dezhao who had been standing for a long time: "Erlang, why are you here to join in the fun with this civil servant?"

Be kind to civil servants, Zhao Kuangyin didn't have such a good expression when dealing with his own boy.

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly said, "I have reported to my father, my son's request for a meeting this time because a guest from my son's house wanted to present a peerless treasure to my father."

"A peerless treasure?" Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have some interest and asked, "Who is it?"

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at the two people standing behind Zhao De.

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly turned around and winked at them.

Fan Ruoshui did not dare to say anything, so he gently pushed Shi Wei.

Shi Wei had no choice but to calm down, stepped forward, and bowed: "I am the doctor of Shang Pharmacy Bureau, Shi Wei, specially presented his talent to His Majesty."

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him and asked casually: "What treasure do you have to offer to me?"

Shi Wei held the long-standing picture of the floating bridge and said lightly: "The treasure I want to offer to Your Majesty is the entire Southern Tang Kingdom."
