It was clearly because of Zhao Kuangyin's funeral that all the heroes from Kaifeng were gathered together almost every night. Whether it was the meeting between Shi Shouxin and Sun Chunming, or the meeting between Sun Yue and Pan Renmei and Yang Jiye, it was not an isolated case. This was basically the case in the entire Kaifeng City.

This is almost difficult to imagine in any unified dynasty. Except for Zhao Guangyi's prestige is not enough to convince the public, the 60-year turmoil in the Five Dynasties is actually the main reason. Apart from the stranger of Sun Yue, who did not at least survive from the Later Han Dynasty?

When the old emperor died, from generals to soldiers, the first thought that popped up in his mind was definitely not something orthodox or inheritance, but whether it was going to change the dynasty again? Does this wave have anything to do with me?

So objectively speaking, Zhao Guangyi was able to defend the foundation laid by his brother in time and space, and he was also somewhat capable.

It would be nonsense to say that Zhao Guangyi didn't know all of this at all, but he had no better way except to endure it for the time being. He didn't have a butcher knife in his hand, but he didn't dare to cut it randomly. Besides, he didn't know who to cut it. After all, the matter of Later Jin is not far apart.

After a little counting the various princes who saw him off, he found that his father-in-law Fu Yanqing, who should have relied on, did not come. In this regard, the reason given by others was that they were not feeling well and it was not suitable to travel far, so they sent their son instead. Originally, they were in their 80s, so they should have an understanding. But since you are almost dying, how did you run all the way from Luoyang to Xiongzhou?

This made Zhao Guangyi feel very bad. He couldn't help but feel panic, but he could only force himself to take charge of the overall situation.

The funeral day came soon. Zhao Guangyi, dressed in mourning clothes, was crying and presided over the ceremony. After the lengthy process, he took Zhao Dezhao's hand and personally supported Guandun to walk out of Kaifeng City, heading all the way to Luoyang.

There is nothing to say about the funeral, so I revisited the old place. The Zhao family was not in Luoyang for a long time. Zhao Kuangyin still had a childhood, but Zhao Guangyi left when he was very young. Logically, there should be no impression, but he still patted Zhao Guangmei's shoulder with a look of relief and said, "Good third brother, after leaving Luoyang City for many years, you have built such a beautiful and prosperous city. Good, my third brother is really capable."

Oh, by the way, Zhao Guangmei has changed her name now. Has Zhao Guangyi gone up? His official name should be Zhao Tingmei.

Zhao Tingmei said: "I just picked up a ready-made one, and most of this is due to Uncle Chunming."

Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "Sun Chunming is the talent of the prime minister. It is your blessing that he can use for you. You must not neglect it. However, the key to using people is balance. I believe that the father and son of the Sun family are both loyal ministers, but you really have too much value to them, and you still need to use others."

"Thank you, my second brother, for your advice, I know."

"What do you know? Are there anyone else you can do besides them? Then Lu Mengzheng is a little capable, but he is still far worse than the Sun family's father and son. What's more, as far as I know, his relationship with the Sun family can almost be considered a family member. Who else can you do?"

Zhao Tingmei wanted to talk about Li Ying, but when she thought, this guy seemed to be no different from Lu Meng, and she was even worse than that.

Zhao Guangyi said earnestly: "The superiors can have confidants, but not friends. Now you are in charge of Luoyang, which is nothing, but I will pass on this country to you in the future. I hope you can understand this truth earlier. Do you think my elder brother was a loyal person before? But after becoming an official, did he kick out Murong Yanzhao and Shi Shouxin?"

Zhao Tingmei has nothing to say.

"I think this is the case. Isn't Luoyang still lacking a power magistrate-Nanfu? Haha, this man has become more and more focused since Sun Chunming. First he was Zhao Pu. If he didn't send a prime minister, I guess he wouldn't be able to stop him. I wanted Lu Duan to go there, but I was afraid that you would misunderstand that I wanted to seize your authority. I think it would be better to let Lu Duan go. After all, after all, he has been in charge of political affairs for so many years, he has always been safe in his work. With him, I can rest assured that he would not compete with the Sun family father and son, and he can play a role in check and balance."

Zhao Tingmei frowned and said, "Second brother, I am not a child anymore. Luoyang has been in power for three or four years. Why do you still have to know human rights? Can't I take charge of the government by myself? Now the court is in turmoil and people are unstable. You need the assistance of a loyal and honest elder like Mr. Lu. How can I let Mr. Lu come to Luoyang to use his talents for a poor person?"

"Third brother, my second brother knows that you have grown a lot over the years, but to be honest, you are still a little immature now and need others to assist you. I don't have to worry about you here. Don't underestimate your second brother too much. Although your second brother is not as good as your eldest brother, he is not a silver spear and wax head. I even tolerated Zhao Pu, so he let him regain his post and become the Grand Tutor. Is it really a lack of such a Lu Duan? Well, I think this matter is decided so you don't refuse anymore. This is the will."

This was obviously a pun. Zhao Tingmei was silent for a long time and had to say, "Okay. I'll listen to my second brother."

Zhao Guangyi smiled, and then pointed at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "After I die, I should also be buried with my father and elder brother. Let me build a tomb here. Third brother, when you have free government affairs, I will help you build a second brother. Things are impermanent, and I don't know how long I can live."

"My second brother is in the prime of spring and autumn, how could he say such unlucky words?"

Zhao Guangyi pulled Zhao Tingmei's head and said, "Who is sure about this kind of thing? Let's go, take me to visit Luoyang City, let's have a walk and chat. You kid was in Kaifeng as soon as you were born, and you don't know the interesting things that happened to me and my elder brother in this city."

Zhao Tingmei also smiled and said, "Okay, but in Luoyang now, you can't find the shadow of that year. In more than a month, we will demolish the Luoyang city walls. Let me introduce them to you."

"Wow, such a good city wall is demolished as soon as it is said. It seems that there is no memorandum of notes. I don't need my support?"

"The plan was done several years ago, and my elder brother agreed. Luoyang City has also accumulated a lot of money in recent years. In addition, the rich families in the city pledge it, so there is no need for any support from the court. After all, Luoyang will become the capital in the future, and the old city walls are still a little small, not to mention the bastion designed by Uncle Chunming, whose city defense effect is far more than ten times that of the present, which is really solid."

Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but twitch when he heard this. His younger brother had learned to attack the game. He laughed and said, "It's so solid? It's exaggerating. I really don't know much about military affairs. How solid can it be?"

Zhao Tingmei thought for a while and said, "So, as long as the city has sufficient food and supplies, my second brother will be transferred to all the elite troops in the country to attack. I have the confidence to defend it forever. This is not what I said, but Sun Yue, Fu Shuai, Bai Shuai, and even the eldest brother have said so."
