Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 8 Family Dinner
That night, the entire Zhao family gathered at Zhao Kuangyin's palace for a long-lost family dinner.

Then Zhao Kuangyin drank too much.

I have to say that Zhao Kuangyin, even from the perspective of a modern Zhao Mei, as a man, this guy is really enviable. He has realized almost all the romance that a man can imagine in his limited life. .

At the age of 16, he left home and wandered alone in the world, relying on a pair of iron fists and a dragon-coiling stick to fight all over the world. The story of sending Jing Niang off thousands of miles away became a good story all over the world, and everyone who saw him couldn't help but praise him as "Daxia Zhao" and "a good man".

He joined the army when he was in his 20s. In just over ten years, he rose from a mere soldier to become the best soldier in the world, and even became a general among thousands of soldiers.

At the age of 34, seven of the fourteen first-level generals of the Forbidden Army were actually his sworn brothers. Then he was swarmed by his brothers, put on a yellow robe, and made him the emperor.

Simply, no cool novel would dare to write like this!
The only bad thing is that he is not very good at drinking wine. In history, he has caused many ridiculous things because of his drinking. It is not that he is drunk, but he is always talking about drinking, such as telling some truths or bragging. some type of.

No, at this time, Zhao Kuangyin was already smelling of alcohol, and his originally dark complexion was now dyed red, like a jujube. He put his arms around Zhao Kuangmei's shoulders and muttered:

"Third brother, yes, good, very, very good. He is indeed my biological brother. With you here, our family can be worry-free. I am very satisfied with your great achievements this time. I want to make you... I established you as the crown prince..."

Zhao Kuangmei glanced at Jiu Mengzi helplessly and said, "Brother, you drank too much. You are not the emperor yet."

"Isn't that something that can happen at any time?"

"Besides, I am your brother, not your son. You should leave the position of prince to Zhao'er. Don't say such nonsense. What if I take it seriously?"

But she saw Empress Dowager Du put down her chopsticks and said decisively: "It's good to be serious. My son, do you think it's so easy to lose the country of Zhou Dynasty? It's because their children are too young, and Lao Guo is also unlucky. All the more than 200 people in the family were killed by Liu Chengyou, so that if something happened, their family would not even have a reliable clan member, Lord Lai Changjun."

"Our family has a small population, but your two younger brothers are also capable. You should not imitate the emperors of the Han and Tang Dynasties who treated the clan harshly. You should entrust them with important responsibilities so that they can help you and fight against the enemy. Tiger brothers, father and son go into battle, no one can trust them except our own family members."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't do stupid things like the emperors of the Han and Tang Dynasties. In this world, there is no one who is closer than my brothers. How can the second and third sons still do it for this mere power?" If you harm me, won’t you harm Zhao’er?”

"Come on, come on, second and third, I'm happy today, drink, drink with me, we won't come back until we get drunk."

The chopsticks hit Zhao Kuangyin on the head. Mrs. Du said angrily: "It's a bit formal! It's okay for the second child to drink some. What kind of wine can the third child drink!"

Zhao Kuangyin chuckled: "Mom, he is not a child, Han Tong asked him to take care of it! Hehehe, what I am most happy about today is not that I am wearing a yellow robe, but that our little beauty is finally successful. He They are all people who are about to get married, so let’s drink a little.”

"Getting married? What kind of marriage, who, who is getting married."

"You, you forgot to kiss the baby on your body? That girl from Zhang Lingduo's family."

"Don't you mean we'll talk about baby kissing when we grow up? My hair hasn't even grown yet! Can't we wait two years? No, I can't even stand up!!"

"What are you waiting for? What's the use of that thing?"

As he said that, he grabbed his heart-protecting hair and said: "Think about it, today is different from the past, we are also going to be officials. You didn't see Zhang Lingduo like that today, shouting loudly, every time He just said you were his son-in-law, as if I would regret it, and even said he wanted his daughter to get under your bed. I'm afraid he is really capable of such a thing."

"........."

"As the saying goes, the nights are long and the dreams are many. I see, this matter has been settled. The hair has not grown all the way, and it can't even be erect. It doesn't matter. Can you touch it first?" After saying that, he saw his sister-in-law exerting force on his lower back. He said: "You drank too much again, please stop saying a few words."

"Oh, why are you pinching me? I think this matter is settled."

Zhao Kuangmei pouted at him in her heart:
'Aren't you just planning to release your military power over a glass of wine? Aren't you just planning to use me and Zhang Lingduo as a test field? Bah!You should be a human being too! "

In fact, when Zhao Kuangyin released his military power for a drink in history, he really didn't even have the dignity to do so. He even married off his own daughter. His poor eldest niece was only eight years old!Although there is a high probability that no one would dare to marry a genuine little princess like this immediately, but... no matter how you think about it, it is a crime!
However, Zhao Kuangmei's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, and she said: "Brother, since I can get married... can you give me a high official to do it?"

Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly when he heard this: "What kind of official do you want to be, you little bastard with barely even hair on your head? Go to school for me."

Then Zhao Kuangmei became depressed and muttered: "Why are you so anxious? You didn't even mention marrying off the eldest sister first."

Then the chopsticks were thrown over with a snap, and the eldest sister scolded angrily: "Zhao Laosan, if you don't know how to speak, just shut your mouth!"

"Oh."

Then Zhao Kuangmei bowed her head obediently and started eating.

He couldn't afford to mess with this eldest sister. The most aggressive one in the old Zhao family was this eldest sister. Just two days ago, she chased Zhao Kuangyin through the streets with a rolling pin. Everyone in the city knew about this. Duan She is so famous that she is known as the most fierce woman in Kaifeng City.

Of course, it was precisely because of this that her statement became a bit messy. After her husband died a few years ago, she has never been able to get married again, and she became an old girl even if she stayed at home.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded in agreement, and then murmured: "It's time to get married quickly, but to whom? I do know that she has always liked Gao Huaide, but... Lao Gao and I are close friends, and I can't cheat her." Brother."

"Zhao Kuangyin, your skin is tight again, right?"

"Hmph, I am the emperor now. How dare you, a woman, be rude?"

But I saw the eldest sister taking out a rolling pin out of nowhere: "I'm beating the emperor! Stop right there!"

Then the two siblings started to mess around in the courtyard in front of the palace. The guards standing guard at the door glanced at them, and then immediately looked away.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangmei lowered her head to eat the food silently, and observed a minute of silence for her future brother-in-law.

Zhao Kuangyi poured a glass of orange juice for Zhao Kuangmei with a smile and said, "Third brother, just drink this."

"Thank you, second brother. By the way, second brother, now Kaifeng has a new order, but you must be clear about the military discipline of the Forbidden Army. You know the eldest brother's temperament, I know it, and everyone in the world knows it. Originally, it was agreed that after he ascends the throne, he will withdraw from the treasury. Those who used money to reward the three armies now have to wait for three requests and three resignations, and the rewards promised to the soldiers will naturally be delayed. There is no guarantee that no one will feel unhappy. Although it is impossible to cause any serious trouble, it is inevitable that no one will harass them. , and even robbed the people."

Zhao Kuangyi nodded in agreement upon hearing this: "Indeed, this is a problem."

"This is the kind of concession that can only be achieved when the eldest brother is supported by the people. Moreover, this Kaifeng City is our Kaifeng City now, and the people of Kaifeng are also our people. If he is harassed by the rebels at this time, the eldest brother's reputation will be damaged after all. He That man has never been able to show off his face and cannot do anything to his own people. No matter what, there must be someone in our family who can play a bad role. The second brother is now the governor of Kaifeng, so it is just right to take care of this matter. What do you think? "

Zhao Kuangyi nodded in agreement: "The third brother is right, I am really the most suitable person to do this."
