"Mom, I'm back."

On the bed, the old lady with a rather pale face stood up, a smile appeared on her sick face and said: "Is Mei'er back? Come on, come and see me, my good son."

”

Zhao Kuangmei's eyes were also a little red, and she quickly stepped forward and held the old lady's hand: "The child is unfilial and makes mother worried."

"It's all nonsense. My son went north alone to talk about Li Jun, kill Liu Jun, and destroy the Northern Han Dynasty for the sake of our Zhao family's country. How can we say it is unfilial? If our family has reached this stage, if everything fails

, I want to be a commoner but can't get it. I'm not worried about your eldest brother. I'm afraid that after him, no one in our Zhao family will be able to hold on. Now that I see you are so promising, I can rest in peace even if I die.

."

Zhao Kuangyin helped the old lady sit up with his own hands and said, "Mom, are you feeling better today? Come on, lean on me."

"When a person reaches old age, it is natural for him to leave, so what else is there to do? It's just one day at a time. Boss, while I'm still alive, there are two things you have to do, otherwise

I dare not close my eyes."

"Mother, tell me."

"First, before I die, Lan'er's marriage needs to be arranged. I know that she has always liked your brother Gao Huaide. Her husband died, and Gao Huaide's wife died. They are about the same age.

It should be a good match. If it is delayed because of my death, it would be a pity if the man with the surname Gao marries another woman."

"I know that you are thinking about the marriages of several children at home. Our family is indeed no longer what it used to be. I am an old woman who doesn't understand politics. I believe that what you do must be right. You

If you have to do it, you should do it while I am still alive, otherwise it will be unlucky for my family to hold weddings after I die. But I have a request. Their marriage must satisfy them both, and I cannot sacrifice the happiness of these children.

, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely do it."

"The second thing I want to ask you is, as the saying goes, Guolai Changjun, I heard that the position of the leader of Wuyue Kingdom is passed from the first to the second, from the second to the third, and from the third to the fourth?"

"Well... it's almost the same. It is indeed passed down from brother to brother. Compared with other small countries, the state of Wu and Yue is relatively stable."

"Well, if Chai Rong's son was older, our family wouldn't be able to make it in this world. There are also Zhu Yougui, Zhu Youzhen, Li Conghou, Shi Chonggui, and Liu Chengyou. They would all be in their twenties when they succeeded to the throne.

However, their own talents were insufficient, and in the end, they were not dead and the country was destroyed. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the only second-generation monarch who has truly firmly held the position of emperor is Chai Rong."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and said: "The late emperor can be said to be a man of great talent and great strategy."

"Yes! That's it. Unless he is a man of great talent and strategy, and a man of both civil and military skills, the throne will not be secure if it is handed down to him. The country depends on the elder, and the virtuous are not passed down to the direct descendants. I heard that one of the emperors of the Wu Kingdom was actually an adopted son.

, not even your own son? In troubled times, etiquette is useless. Now Mei'er has a reputation as a virtuous person. In the future, if Zhao'er or Fang'er is a virtuous person, you should pass it on to Zhao'er or Fang'er a hundred years later.

If they are a little behind, you should pass the throne to Mei'er. If... if you leave early, then you must pass the throne to Yi'er, do you understand?"

As soon as she heard the two people talking about this, Zhao Kuangmei instinctively opened her mouth, but she felt that nothing she said was appropriate.

What can he say? That he is absolutely not interested in the throne?

Or should I say, I have no objection to passing it on to Zhaoer, but it must not be passed on to the second brother?

Or should I stop thinking about it, it’s just me, not my second brother or my eldest nephew?

After thinking about it, I decided to keep my mouth shut and listen. Anyway, this is something that will be considered after at least ten years. Now I just think of it as making my mother happy.

Zhao Kuangyin also agreed, "Don't worry, Mom, I know everything."

The old lady shook her head and said: "I can't control what happens after I die. Only God can know what happens in the future. But I want you to swear that no matter who hands the power falls to in the future, we will

The Zhao family can't do things like killing close relatives!"

"Okay, I swear."

Zhao Kuangmei couldn't help but said: "Mom, do you want your second brother to come over and make an oath together?"

Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly when he heard this and glanced at Zhao Kuangmei calmly.

If we don’t make this oath, will our Zhao family really have the day when our closest relatives will kill each other?

Besides, if it really comes to that point in the future, will you still care about these few words of oath when you take action?

There is no need to do anything to make the old lady happy.

The old lady nodded: "Yes, it is indeed time for the second child to come over."

After that, he asked the maid next to him to call.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Guangyi also came. The three brothers made an oath in front of the old lady, and the old lady lay down again happily.

"Mom, the eldest brother and the second brother are both busy, and I am the only one who has nothing to do. Please let me stay in front of the bed and fulfill my filial piety."

"Oh no, I have this old problem. It's never finished and it's always bad. Besides, we still have your eldest sister, second sister and maids at home. Although you don't have an official position, you are very smart. Your eldest brother is now

He is about to receive Zen, please help him."

Zhao Kuangyin also said: "Don't worry, mother, everything is ready for receiving Zen. Li Chongjin, Li Jun, and Yuan Yan have already persuaded them to come in. Naturally, others dare not look at the direction of the wind. All that is left is to leave."

It's just a process, and it will only take about a month or two at most, so what else does he need to do? Although this kid is smart, he is too courageous. I am afraid that he will cause trouble for me outside, so I let him stay here.

Let him serve you by your side, this is what he should do."

"Yes, yes. I just came back, please let me stay."

Zhao Kuangmei said, but he directly tucked the old lady's bedding, and kneaded the old lady's legs. He couldn't help but frown slightly, but found that the old lady's legs were swollen and quite big.

It’s been a full circle.

"Mom, I remember you told me that your disease makes you often dizzy and weak, right?"

"Yes, as you get older, all kinds of problems will come one after another."

Zhao Kuangmei nodded slightly, almost knowing it in her heart.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyi also came back, and the three brothers swore to God in front of the old lady that no matter who held the power in the future, they would never do such things as killing relatives and killing each other, and the old lady laughed.

Hehehe he lay down on the bed again and rested drowsily.

After the eldest brother and the second brother left, Zhao Kuangmei massaged the old lady until she fell asleep, then got up and left.

He called out the old lady's maid and asked, "Has the old lady's urinal been empty?"

"I passed it, Master."

"Where did it go?"

"Ah?"

"I said, where did you pee?"

"Falled... fell in the backyard flowerbed."

"Take me to see if you can still find a place to urinate?"

"Ah... it's possible. It didn't take long after pouring."

So, the little maid took him to see the place where he urinated. Zhao Kuangmei squatted there and looked carefully. Sure enough, he saw many ants crawling where the maid pointed.
