"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
Shi Wei shouted, pushed the door and broke into the imperial study room.
This exclamation scared the two brothers who were separated by the temple at the same time.
Zhao Guangyi was eager to stop, but Zhao Kuangyin, who was in front of him, suddenly turned around at almost the same time.
When he turned around, he found that his younger brother was holding the jade axe in his hand and stood behind him in a strange position.
Zhao Guangyi's face was flashing with panic, but he calmed down in a blink of an eye and said with a smile: "The emperor's jade axe has broken the corner of the book, and I will help the emperor's brother tilt it again."
As he said that, he put the jade axe on the desk again and pretended to adjust for a long time.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at his strange behavior and looked at Shi Wei with a terrifying look on his face. Suddenly he realized something, and his eyes suddenly became suspicious again.
Shi Wei blew up Zhao Guangyi's murderous behavior, and saw that he reacted very quickly, he couldn't say anything for a moment.
He calmed down and said, "Your Majesty's poison of arsenic has not been removed yet, so you should be more careful."
Shi Wei said as he walked forward and blocked Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi to prevent Zhao Guangyi from jumping over the wall.
Although he did not expose Zhao Guangyi's intention, his actions were already a hint to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin looked up at his younger brother, and his eyebrows became more and more suspicious.
"So it's Lord Shi, why are you here too?" Zhao Guangyi asked pretending to be surprised.
Shi Wei sneered: "Your Majesty was poisoned by arsenic. The lower official came to treat Your Majesty. Just happened to meet the King of Jin. The lower official had to avoid it for the time being."
Zhao Guangyi subconsciously glanced at the side where Shi Wei was just now. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
The position where the side room is, you can clearly see his every move.
This means that his expression changes and what he did just now when the emperor was behind his back were undoubtedly seen by Shi Wei.
Zhao Guangyi suddenly felt cold in his heart, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
If he had enough confidence and pretended to be calm before, he would really not be able to continue the show.
The good thing he had planned was destroyed by Shi Wei. The emperor had just seen his unusual behavior, and Shi Wei was witnessing him. His act of killing his brother was obvious.
The more I thought about it, the more I became, the more ugly Zhao Guangyi looked, and he hurriedly said, "Since the emperor is in good health, I won't disturb you much. I will take my leave."
Zhao Kuangyin wanted to keep him, but he swallowed it when he was at his mouth and waved his hand to signal him to retreat.
Zhao Guangyi limped out of the hall with a crutch.
Shi Wei was so anxious that he burst into tears and repeatedly told Zhao Kuangyin that he was thinking that his intention to kill you was so obvious. If you don’t take him down on the spot, why would you let him go?
However, Zhao Kuangyin ignored Shi Wei's hint and watched Zhao Guangyi leave without saying a word.
As soon as Zhao Guangyi left, Shi Wei said anxiously: "Your Majesty. The King of Jin has just held a jade axe in his hand. It is obvious that he wants to murder Your Majesty. I can see clearly in the sidelines. How can Your Majesty let King of Jin go?"
However, Zhao Kuangyin sat down and shook his head and sighed.
Judging from his meaning, he still doesn't plan to deal with Zhao Guangyi.
Shi Wei was anxious now, and did not care about the etiquette of the king and his subjects, and shouted: "Your Majesty, this is not the time for women to be kind. Your Majesty blindly tolerating the King of Jin will only encourage his arrogance and give him the courage to do more extraordinary things. This will only push the Song Dynasty into the kang step by step."
Shi Wei was definitely not exaggerating. His loud voice also made Zhao Kuangyin's expression solemn.
After pondering for a long time, he said silently: "The King of Jin is right. If I move him, it will shock the government and the country, which will be unfavorable."
"But your Majesty--"
Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand to interrupt Shi Wei, and then said, "You are right, how could I not know that the King of Jin dared to do such a thing, and I would never tolerate him."
Zhao Kuangyin's words made Shi Wei a little confused, thinking to himself what you mean, are you protecting Zhao Guangyi or planning to deal with him?
When Shi Wei was confused, Zhao Kuangyin said, "I am very pleased that the King of Jin was able to stand up or not, and I have recorded your contributions. As for the King of Jin, I have my own way to deal with it, so you can go down first."
Zhao Kuangyin had already said this, and Shi Wei knew that he could not persuade him anymore, so he had to retreat.
Shi Wei, who returned to the mansion, had been unable to eat well and sleep for several days, and was anxiously waiting for what Zhao Kuangyin called the "disposal method".
Three days later, he finally waited for news from the palace.
The emperor issued an order to rename King Zhao Kuangyin of Jin to King Qin and also the governor of the Deshun Army. He set off on the way to take office.
Zhao Kuangyin's decree naturally shocked the court and the public, and even Shi Wei was quite surprised.
After thinking about it for a while, Shi Wei finally figured out the intention of Zhao Kuangyin's move.
Zhao Kuangyin knew that his younger brother had the intention to murder him, but he still refused to kill him, mostly to take the overall situation into consideration and avoid civil strife.
But Zhao Kuangyin could not ignore this at the same time. If he continued to let go and kept such a younger brother who wanted to harm him, he would probably be unable to sleep or eat.
So Zhao Kuangyin came up with such a way: I will neither kill you nor indulge you, but instead changed you to King Qin, drove you out of the capital in disguise, and drove you to the west to be your governor.
In this way, as long as Zhao Guangyi leaves the capital, it means that he is expelled from the center of power and will never cause any trouble.
The Shunde Army was one of the northwest border towns of the Song Dynasty. It was adjacent to the semi-separatist forces of the Dangxiang people headed by the Li family. If Zhao Guangyi wanted to gain self-reliance and rebel, he would have to gain support from the Dangxiang people.
The Dangxiang people, from the beginning of the Song Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, had been extremely loyal to the Song court after several previous leaders and the current governor of the Dingnan Army, Li Guangrui.
During the previous few attacks on the Northern Han Dynasty, Li Guangrui sent troops to help, and from time to time even offered horses to the court to show his loyalty.
Zhao Kuangyin also treated Li very well. When Li Guangrui's father Li Yiyin was the governor of Dingnan Army, Zhao Kuangyin personally supervised the production of jade belts for him. When Li Yiyin passed away, he even issued an order to abolish the court for three days to express his condolences.
The relationship between Zhao Kuangyin and Li's monarchy is quite close. In this case, if Zhao Guangyi dares to be ill-intentioned and does not need the court to take action, the Li's gangsters would stab the knives in the back and take the opportunity to show their loyalty to the court.
This decree can be said to have completely cut off Zhao Guangyi's thoughts about the throne.
Zhao Guangyi had no room for resistance, he could only accept his fate obediently.
The reason is very simple. After the two capital systems were adopted, Zhao Guangyi's power had been greatly weakened.
Later, Zhao Pu re-entered the prime minister, and after a few tricks of the old Taoist, Zhao Guangyi's power was damaged again.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he forced him to use poisoning to make the final dying struggle.
Things are now corrupt and the emperor is already prepared. If Zhao Guangyi is disobedient, he will have no choice but to die.
Zhao Guangyi, whose emperor's dream was broken, left Luoyang obediently with his resentment and regret, and went to the Shunde Army to take office.
Two months after Zhao Guangyi left, the emperor immediately ordered the abolition of the two capital system, Luoyang was the Changdu, and Tokyo Bianliang was changed to the accompanying capital.
Now that King Jin is no longer King Jin, this decree will naturally be without any objection.
This series of changes came so suddenly that Shi Wei felt a little uncomfortable.
As soon as Zhao Guangyi left, Shi Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that a thorn in his heart was finally pulled out, and he could finally rest assured in the future.
However, he was always worried.
Although Zhao Guangyi had already rolled to the northwest, he would never feel completely at ease if he did not die for a day. Moreover, the emperor had not yet made Zhao Dezhao the crown prince, which made him a little worried.
After noon that day, Shi Wei had just returned from the government office and sent someone from the palace to summon him to the palace for medical treatment.
What surprised Shi Wei was that the person who summoned him into the palace was not the emperor or Mrs. Huarui, but Empress Song.
This Empress Song is an amazing figure.
Empress Song's mother was Princess Yongning, the daughter of Liu Zhiyuan, the Taizu of the Later Han Dynasty. Her father, Song Wei, was the grandson of Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang. Now she is the Queen of the Song Dynasty. The Song army can be said to be a relative of the three dynasties. It is prosperous in modern times, and it is rarely compared.
In the first year of Kaibao, the 17-year-old Song family was included in the palace and became Zhao Kuangyin's third queen.
In terms of age, Empress Song is twenty-five years younger than Zhao Kuangyin, even one year older than Zhao Dezhao, but seven years older than Zhao Defang.
While thinking about the information about Empress Song, Shi Wei hurried to the palace by car. For some reason, he suddenly had a premonition that Emperor Song summoned him to the palace this time, and it must be as simple as seeing a doctor.
After entering the West Palace where the queen lived, the palace maids were introduced into the house. Shi Wei took care of his clothes and walked in calmly with his medicine box.
Turning over a large screen, Shi Wei saw Queen Song lying on the bed inside the pearl curtain.
"My minister Shi Wei, pay homage to the Empress." Shi Wei walked in and bowed respectfully.
"Shi Aiqing is exempted from the gift. Come on, give Shi Aiqing a seat."
The palace maid brought a chair and Shi Wei sat down next to the couch. Although he had been in the palace many times before, he had no chance to see Queen Song. This time this time it was the first time he had seen this queen.
At this time, the sandalwood incense of the furnace and cauldron was swaying, and there was another layer of bead curtain. Although Shi Wei sat very close, he could not see the appearance of Queen Song clearly.
He could only vaguely see that the Queen Song looked at at most twenty-five or six years old, with very white skin. She probably could be attracted by Zhao Kuangyin. In addition to her family background, she was probably also a beauty.
Shi Wei did not dare to look at it anymore and asked, "I heard that the Empress is feeling uncomfortable, but I don't know where the Empress is feeling uncomfortable. Can you tell me?"
"This..." Queen Song in the pearl curtain wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing her like that, Shi Wei guessed that there was another gynecological disease, and said, "As an imperial physician, it is my duty to treat the Empress. The doctor only has patients in his eyes, and there is no difference between men and women. Please tell me the truth."
Queen Song paused and said, "You all go down, it's enough to have Shi Aiqing alone."
