Chapter 39: A heart without twists and turns is the most powerful thing
"You want to ask me something? Why are you asking? It's so mysterious."
Zhao Guangmei couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she saw Zhao Kuangyin, who had a mysterious face and came to his new home to find her without even a follower.
His house was newly bought, and if nothing else happened, it would be his home in the future. Naturally, the small house was not worthy of his status, so he simply tore down the house and rebuilt it. Anyway, he was still young and could live there temporarily.
In the palace, it is not too inappropriate.
Today he came over on a whim to have a look, but Zhao Kuangyin came to him on his own initiative without even bringing a follower.
In fact, looking at Zhao Kuangyin's mysterious appearance, he had already guessed the purpose of his visit, but he was happy to pretend to be confused:
"Brother, are you here to see my new home? To be honest, I am very satisfied with the location of this house. Although it is a little small, it is okay. I am not that picky about the size of the house, but the living
It should be comfortable. The key is that I am afraid of heat. I plan to build a big ice cellar over there. If the ice is made in the palace, can you get me some more?"
Then he squinted at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Your brother is building a new house. You, the elder brother, are not allowed to express your gratitude. Do you have to give me some congratulatory gifts?"
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and said: "I'll give you a jade ax, do you want it?"
Hearing this, Zhao Guangmei glanced at the jade ax in Zhao Kuangyin's hand, curled her lips and said: "This one in your hand? You've already spoiled it, I really don't want it."
The so-called jade ax is actually not an ax made of jade. Zhao Kuangyin had nothing to do. Isn’t it unhealthy to play with an ax made of jade in his hand? It neither looks good nor can he chop people.
This thing is similar to the shape of an umbrella, thick at the top and thin at the bottom. Its function is close to a walking stick. It is similar to the gentleman's stick popular in modern Europe. They are both held in the hand and leaned on the ground to show off.
The reason why Zhao Kuangyin carries this thing all day long is because he suffered an injury to his leg on the battlefield in his early years. Although it is not serious, it can be a little stronger if he holds it occasionally. It is also inlaid with colorful gems, which is very beautiful.
"It's not this one, it's a gift from someone below. There's a sword hidden in it. You can pull it out at critical moments to kill the enemy. It's more exquisitely made and looks better than mine. I don't have any use for this thing. If you want it, I'll give it to you to play with."
Think of it as a housewarming gift to you."
"The sword is hidden in the stick. This is quite interesting. Hehe, thank you, brother."
The things the people below are flattering me with, they must be made of exquisite materials, and they must be very valuable.
"You are my brother, and everyone in this world belongs to our family. Just tell me what you want, and I will give you what I can give you. I treat you with sincerity. I only hope that you can treat me honestly.
Wait."
When Zhao Guangmei heard this, she joked: "There is something in your words. Since you seem to be sincere, why are you so aggressive?"
Zhao Kuangyin was choked when he heard this, but then he showed a wry smile, but still led Zhao Guangmei to a deserted corner and said: "I heard Zhao Pu say that you introduced Yang Ye to him, and also said that he might
He is the future number one general of our Song Dynasty. What does this mean?"
"That's what it means literally. Aren't my father-in-law and his family going to retire collectively?"
"Ah you~, who did you listen to?"
"Brother, you are an official now and you have to be calm. Look, you are shocked. Do I look more calm than you? Do I look very mature and stable? So age has never been a factor.
Question, you shouldn’t always say that I’m young, I’m doing so well, I really envy you for having such an outstanding younger brother.”
As he said this, he gave himself a thumbs up gesture.
"…………"
Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to sit down again, but his eyes became increasingly fiery and impatient as he stared at Zhao Guangmei.
"I didn't hear anyone say it, so I guessed it myself, but don't worry, your game is so clever that no one else can tell except me."
"Why can't others see it, but you can see it through?"
"Because it's me, I can just see it."
After thinking about it, Zhao Guangmei added: "You have been very anxious to get married recently, and I know that you and your sister-in-law are studying the marriage of Zhao'er and even your niece. With your emphasis on family, you are so eager to complete the marriage.
, must have a major political purpose, coupled with the changes in the Forbidden Army, so it can be debunked. Others will not pay attention to our family affairs, and they are not as clear about your character as I am, so others should not be able to tell.
."
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he suddenly realized, and finally felt a little relieved, but he felt more and more how talented his third brother was, and for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Then... why are you mentioning this to Zhao Putian?"
"Why why? I rushed here in a hurry. You can't hide this from Brother Pu. I avoid what he does. What I want is to keep you clean. You guys can carry out your big business in a down-to-earth manner. I'll
How nice would it be to read my book quietly and prepare for this year's imperial examination?"
"Is it that simple?"
"How complicated can it be?"
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he looked strangely and said: "You said you are serious about taking the imperial examination?"
"Yes."
"Just to be a governor?"
"Yeah."
"You...are you so anxious that you want to compete with your second brother for the throne?"
"Of course, otherwise what would I be doing?"
"…………"
Zhao Kuangyin was left speechless.
When he said it, he felt that something was wrong with his biological brother, but he didn't expect that Zhao Guangmei would admit it so simply and in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be hidden and choked?"
"What are you hiding? What are you choking on? Who are you hiding it from? Show it to you. You put me in Jing Zhaoyin's position. Now I tell you that I am not interested in your position at all. Do you believe it?"

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a long time after hearing the words, and surprisingly found that there was nothing wrong with the words.
Then he said seriously: "I have my own plans regarding the crown prince matter. If you fight for it so eagerly, aren't you afraid that I will be unhappy or even afraid of you? Besides, it's not like I don't have a son myself. The decision on this matter rests with me.
Where did the fight come from?"
Zhao Guangmei spread her hands naturally and said: "Of course it's up to you whether you want to give it or not, but whether you want to or not, whether you want to fight or not, it's my business. I just want to. Isn't this a shameful thing? My second brother wants to
, you can also argue with me. If a brother of the same family is fighting over something, do you have to fight to the death? Is this kind of thing so taboo?
Our family, let’s not engage in such nonsense. We obviously want her very much, but we all pretend to be like “no, no, no, I don’t want it.” Are we sick? As for Zhao’er, if you think Zhao’er is suitable, you can
Give it to Zhaoer. If you can win over me, I will do it by myself. If you can't win over, I will assist Zhaoer in doing it. It's over. If you are afraid of me then, just tell me. If I want anything from you, I will directly ask you.
You said, if you want something from me in the future, I hope you can tell me directly."
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he was silent for a long time. Then he took a deep look at Zhao Guangmei and said, "You remind me of someone."
"Who?"
"The late emperor, Chai Rong."
"Chai Rong? How does it look like?"
"In his entire life, the late emperor was unfavorable in all his conquests and accomplished everything in his domestic affairs. However, do you know that he was actually completely powerless. The courtiers knew clearly what he was thinking and what he wanted to do.
Over the past few years, he has been willful to the extreme. He will do whatever he wants to do, and he actually accomplishes everything he wants to do."
When Zhao Guangmei heard this, she nodded with deep understanding. Chai Rong was indeed such a person.
But I heard Zhao Kuangyin say: "The late emperor almost never did things without any intention, and he was completely sincere in employing people and troops. I didn't understand it at first, but later I figured it out. This was an extreme self-confidence. He was confident that no one in the world could do anything."
He can control accidents and is confident that there is nothing he can't do. In this regard, I am not as good as him."
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Guangmei, put his hand on his shoulder and said: "He has no twists and turns, and he is extremely domineering. You are so much like him."
Zhao Guangmei thought for a long time, and then said doubtfully: "You are complimenting me, right? I am a sunny and cheerful boy, but you sound like I am old-fashioned."
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly changed the subject and said: "I remember that when the late emperor just ascended the throne, he said that he wanted to lead a military expedition in person. As a result, Feng Dao actually laughed on the spot in the main hall. The late emperor was furious and questioned Feng Dao, saying that in the past Tang Dynasty
It was also Taizong's personal conquest that led to the founding of the Zhenguan rule. Do you know what Feng Dao said about the result?"
"How to say?"
"He said, are you Tang Taizong? The late emperor was so angry that his face turned purple."
"Feng Dao, that tumbler of the Five Dynasties and a veteran of the Ten Dynasties?"
"Yes, before the matter was completed, even people like Feng Dao dared to laugh at Chai Rong in court. But after Chai Rong actually led the expedition and won the victory, no one in the world dared to question him anymore, let alone
People dare to make fun of him."
"Domineering has never been a problem. In history, there has been almost no one as domineering as the late emperor in this world. But he can do anything, so he is naturally a Holy Lord. On the contrary, if he is defeated in the Gaoping Station,
Death is naturally a child's arrogance and self-humiliation. If you want to be a person like Chai Rong, you must first have his ability."
