When Zhao Kuangyin rode into the city on horseback, his whole body seemed to be in a dream, filled with a sense of unreality.

The people who came out of the city to greet him were so densely packed that they lined up for several miles. He was shocked when he saw them for the first time. He thought it was a formation set up by the enemy.

When I got closer, I saw that the row at the head was actually all children under the age of ten, and each of them was holding flowers in their hands.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of countless drums exploded suddenly like thunder, which startled Zhao Kuangyin. After taking a closer look, he realized that Zhao Kuangmei had actually placed many large drums on the city wall of Kaifeng, and the people on the wall were not guards.

Instead, they were all geishas with heavy makeup. After the drums, eighteen kinds of musical instruments such as silk and bamboo wind instruments followed closely, and countless singers actually danced on the top of the city.

"Big brother of the Forbidden Army, I will give you flowers."

Countless children swarmed forward and forced flowers and even fresh grass into the hands of these forbidden soldiers. Zhao Kuangyin himself took a bouquet of peonies with a confused look on his face and smelled it. It was quite fragrant.

Of course, there were only one layer of people holding flowers. After all, where did Zhao Kuangmei go to arrange so many flowers for a while? After walking a few steps further, Zhao Kuangyin was surrounded by countless old and weak women and children. These old and weak women and children

They hung fruit baskets one by one, some containing dry food, some containing fruits, and some containing drinks. It was really easy to stuff them into people's hands when they saw them.

After stuffing all the things, everyone split and knelt down, shouting loudly: "There is no master in the world, please be the emperor!"

"There is no master in the world, please check and become the emperor!"

Going further, I found that the gates of Kaifeng City had been decorated with lights and colorful decorations. All the civil and military officials were divided into two groups at the gate. Headed by the three prime ministers Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, they all kowtowed to him.

Gift.

Fan Zhi took the lead and said: "Now that the world has returned to its heart, this is the old story of Yao and Shun. Please also think about the common people and be the master of the world!"

Zhao Kuangyin was startled, and hurriedly went down to help him, when he heard a heavy cough not far away. When he looked closely, he found that it was his third brother, who was giving him crazy looks.

"Come here, kid!"

"Hey, big brother."

"What...what is this happening?"

"Doesn't this show that you are the one who is welcomed by everyone and the whole world is at home? It will also look good in the history books in the future."

"How did you do that?"

"Half of it is the people in the city voluntarily, and half of it...the dozen or so richest merchants in Kaifeng City have donated a total of 240,000 yuan, and each person who comes to welcome you will receive 50 yuan."

"Are you...are you...such a childish person?"

"Oh brother, now is not the time to talk about this, you should scold them now."

"Who are you scolding?"

"You will scold whoever asked you to be the emperor. Please give three invitations and resign three times. Come on, come on. If you don't know how to act on the spot, I have a speech script here. Just follow it."

"Is this...appropriate?"

"It's appropriate. There is still a lot of 240,000 yuan left. There will be a program tomorrow."

"I..."

Lao Zhao lowered his head and glanced at the note in his hand, and his face turned red for a moment.

After all, he is a kind person, and he is a bit incapable of doing such a shameless thing.

But after all, this is the painstaking efforts of our younger brother, and it is for the legal reason of his being the emperor, so I accept it.

After brewing for a long time, he got into a good mood, and then suddenly pointed at Fan Zhi and others and yelled: "Shut up! You old thief with a gray beard, a brilliant man! I, Zhao Kuangyin, was favored by the late emperor, and I am loyal to your majesty.

, Ke Zhao Ri Yue, are you doing this to make me an unfaithful and unjust person?"

After saying that, he saw a group of people crying loudly and shouting in unison for him to be the emperor. The cries became louder and louder. Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head and looked at the note in his hand, and then looked at Zhao Kuangmei with a puzzled look on his face.<

/p>

Zhao Kuangmei gave him an affirmative look.

Zhao Kuangyin then gritted his teeth, pulled out the sword, put it on his neck, and shouted: "Do you have to trap me in disloyalty and injustice? In this way, Zhao will die, in order to clear his name!"

After saying that, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "O late emperor! Your soul is not far away. Please wait for me and let me be under the nine springs before I serve you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud roar came from the distance: "Uncle Zhao, wait a minute!"

Then I saw the little emperor Chai Zongxun running over holding a jade seal.

Then he took out a piece of paper and read it stumblingly: "When the late emperor was here, he often told me that Uncle Zhao can entrust great things. Now in my great Zhou Dynasty, there are all kinds of Jiedu envoys to support the troops and respect themselves.

There are Hou Shu, Southern Tang, and Southern Han in the south, and in the north there are Khitan and Hu captives who are always coveting the Central Plains. At this time of internal and external troubles, it is really not me who can stabilize it. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, only Uncle Zhao can entrust such a big thing.

Lead my sons and daughters of China to unify the world and regain Yanyun."

At this point, Zhao Kuangmei had actually written all the scripts for him, but Zhao Kuangyin naturally had his own freedom in how to act in the next scene. He immediately knelt down beside Chai Zongxun and burst into tears, kowtowing repeatedly: "Thank you for your majesty's trust.

, we should imitate the ancient sages, learn from Prime Minister Zhuge, be loyal to the Lord, and even devote ourselves to death. How can we do such a treasonous and unethical thing?"

At this time, Queen Mother Xiao Fu also took out her script and said as if she was appointed: "In ancient times, Yao was passed down to Shun, and only the three emperors ruled the world. The affairs of the world should be run by the virtuous. We orphans

The widowed mother is unable to maintain this great empire. If Brother Zhao refuses to accept our concession, and our orphaned and widowed mother loses her virtue, won't it make the people miserable? If the Khitan people go south again, causing the artifact to change hands again, what will happen to us?

Not an eternal sinner?"

After saying that, he stepped forward and helped Zhao Kuangyin up and said: "Brother Zhao, our families are family friends. The late emperor often told me that although you and he were called emperors and ministers, in fact they were brothers.

Our own family's empire, whether you sit with me or sit with me, what difference does it make?"

This part was purely her own expression, so much so that Zhao Kuangmei couldn't help but turn slightly dark, because she had to let her son act like a prince.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin definitely did not accept the jade seal. Since ancient times, it has been the rule to make concessions, three requests, and three resignations. Everyone has done this since Cao Pi was defeated. If this scene is not performed well, it is called seeking to usurp the throne.

To lose legal rationality.

In fact, legal rationality is not just a thing in ancient times, it is also a very important thing in modern society. The difference between abdication and mutiny is not just as simple as what is recorded in the history. Not to mention other things, what are the local differences?

Jiedushi hasn't expressed his stance yet.

Zhao Kuangmei had already done everything so well. Zhao Kuangyin would naturally not live up to his good intentions. Anyway, it was already like this. For Zhao Kuangyin, the throne was already cooked and fed to his mouth with chopsticks.

A piece of meat is just a matter of opening your mouth and taking a bite. Naturally, there is no need to ascend the throne in a hurry like in the original history.

You can wait for the governors from various places to see if everyone understands the current affairs, and also give everyone an opportunity to share the merits of following the dragon.

For example, Li Chongjin of Yangzhou was Guo Wei's nephew, who competed with Chai Rong for the crown prince. Before Guo Wei died, he had to watch Li Chongjin perform the courtesy of a monarch to Chai Rong before he could rest in peace. How could Zhao Kuangyin not be afraid of him?
p>

So at this time, Zhao Kuangyin naturally has enough time to use tricks on Li Chongjin to force him to submit the memorial. If you rebel, you will rebel against the little emperor Chai Zongxun. You shameless traitor, I, Zhao Kuangyin, as

The most loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty must be at odds with you!

If he accepts the invitation to come in, then if you rebel in the future, at least you will not be able to use your banner of begging for thieves for the country, right?

So Zhao Kuangyin naturally refused again and again that day, hid in the front office alone, went back to work, closed the door to thank guests, and saw no one.
Chapter completed!
