Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 39 Hidden Dragon
That night, Zhao Kuangyin suffered from insomnia for half the night. The conversation that Zhao Guangmei had with him today could be said to have touched him greatly. The image of this boy actually overlapped with Chai Rong's.

Zhao Guangmei was actually a little tossing and turning. He confessed his plans to Zhao Kuangyin so clearly today, which was actually a bit risky.

It's just that he believed in Zhao Kuangyin's character and mind. After all, a person who had three princes in a country in history, there is no reason that this time and space cannot accommodate him. Besides, Zhao'er is still young now. In the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, few people can survive. In the second generation of immortal Guo Zuo, it may not be against his will if he is stronger... right?

Of course, telling the truth about his ambitions cannot be all impulsive. On the contrary, this is really the strategy he has set for himself. His strategy for fighting for reserves is to work hard to achieve miracles, without so many bells and whistles, just do it hard.

if not?
Not to mention compared with Zhao Dezhao, compared with Zhao Er, in terms of intimacy, he is actually far inferior to this good second brother, because the eldest brother left home and went to work in the world at the age of 16. That year, he was not born yet. Later, when he returned to Beijing, he had already joined the army. Following Chai Rong these years, he never stopped fighting in various places, so that he actually didn't have much time at home.

Furthermore, he is actually very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses. He was a restaurant owner in his last life. Although his business was quite large and he considered himself to be capable, compared to the tactics of scheming, he was really not sure that he could win. Zhao Guangyi.

Besides, how ruthless he is, Zhao Guangmei really can't do such a thing as killing his brother and nephew. It's hard to say whether Zhao Kuangyin died of illness or how he died in history. There is no lower limit for this kind of person, but political struggle is such a cruel thing. Sometimes it's true that whoever is more shameless has an advantage.

Then I might as well stop pretending. I'm showing off my cards. I just want to be the crown prince. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?

His advantage is that he has more than 1000 years of experience and is familiar with the history of the early Song Dynasty. Then he should do more things and crush the past with an upright trend, and it will be over.

Being low-key does not necessarily mean being smart, and being domineering does not necessarily mean failure. After all, the Five Dynasties are in a troubled world where strength, power, and even knives are important. Once this general trend makes him get involved, once everyone in the world thinks that Zhao Guangmei is [-]% likely to succeed, the world People will spontaneously gather to his side and force Zhao Guangyi to become a transitional one. Even Zhao Kuangyin cannot reverse the trend.

Therefore, he not only wanted to fight and grab, but also put on a determined attitude to win.

Of course, the top priority right now is to quickly become a Jinshi, fulfill the agreement with the eldest brother, work as a governor, and build momentum. Things like this may not necessarily require much real official power, but it is definitely impossible without your own core team. .

Silent all night.

The next day he washed up and went to work as usual, took a copy of Spring and Autumn and studied in the Privy Council as usual. Zhao Pu didn't care about him. As for the various decrees of the Privy Council, after they were sent to him, he just said: "Have Zhao Pu read it?" "

I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. What are you showing me?
I’ve seen it, what else should I watch?
Suddenly I heard a commotion outside, and out of curiosity, I put down my book and went outside to check. I saw Wang Jien, the most trusted eunuch of the eldest brother, leading many eunuchs to swagger step by step and set up their posture. I knew that it must be the eldest brother who came to award the award. The will comes.

Just as he was wondering what was going on with such a big fanfare, he saw Wang Jien coming straight towards him.

"Looking for me?"

"Third Young Master, there is a reward."

"Oh."

"You should accept the order and thank me."

"My own brother gave me something to end up like this?"

"This thing is different."

"Oh." Zhao Guangmei was confused, but Wang Jien's behavior was quite impressive, and so many people in the Privy Council were still watching, so he followed the rules and showed his thanks in a formal manner.

Then when he saw what Wang Jien took out, he felt bad.

It's just a jade axe.

Isn't this the one we mentioned during our chat yesterday?
The stuff is definitely good stuff, but how can it be such a big battle?

Besides, Zhao Guangmei hasn't gone out to live yet. His house hasn't been built yet. He originally lived in the palace. Couldn't he just give it to himself last night?

I had to wait until I was on duty, but I gave it to the Privy Council in such a grand way. What was this for?

"Third Young Master, you haven't thanked me yet."

"Oh, thank you brother, oh no, thank you for the generous gift from the official family."

Then he finally stood up impatiently and took the initiative to take the thing in his hand and play with it a little.

The design of this thing is indeed exquisite. The main body is a piece of agarwood with a strong fragrance. It is estimated to have the effect of repelling mosquitoes. It is inlaid with jade to make it look like a dragon. The handle is actually inlaid with gold to make a dragon. The appearance of a faucet.

Especially as we all know that Zhao Kuangyin pursues frugality and is stingy with himself after becoming emperor than before when he was an inspector. This thing should be considered a treasure in his hands.

This thing is for your own use...is it tyranny?
I found the mechanism and pulled out the sword hidden inside with a click. I could feel the coldness on the sword from a long distance away. Although I don't know if it was sharpened like clay, at least it was polished delicately and it looked good-looking. .

"Third Young Master, the officials said that you liked this thing, so they gave it to you. Although this thing looks like a jade axe, it is actually a short sword with a dragon shape carved on it, so the officials specially gave it to you. Named, 'Hidden Dragon Sword', I hope you can use this sword to encourage yourself at all times."

"Qianlong? Where did Qianlong come from? Oh... Qianlong, hey, this has a pretty good meaning."

Obviously, what Zhao Kuangyin gave was not the sword at all, but the name of the sword, which was given to outsiders.

For a moment, Zhao Guangmei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then quickly returned the things to Wang Jien. Wang Jien looked confused: "What do you mean, Third Young Master?"

"The answer just now was not very serious. Try again."

Then Zhao Guangmei knelt down on the ground with a bang, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and said loudly and affectionately: "Brother, I received a generous gift from the emperor today. I am so grateful that I am so sensitive that I don't dare to scream... I dare not to scream... ...Forget it, I can’t cry anymore, so I’ll stop pretending.”

Then he stood up and happily took the jade ax away.

Wang Jien: “…………”
