Chapter 1784: Quickly summon Imperial Physician Zhang

As night falls, the Funing Hall of the Song Dynasty Palace is brightly lit.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was flushed, he kept coughing, and he kept staring at a huge map spread on the golden nanmu desk.

Wei Qiansui stood beside him with a concerned look on his face, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Imperial Physician Zhang to come to the palace and take another look? This cough isn't getting better."

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, "No need, the Prince of Jin will be here soon, right?"

Wei Qiansui said: "We have been notified for half an hour, and it should be here soon."

Zhao Kuangyin pointed at the map on the table and coughed as he spoke. "Now that the world is stable and the unification of the country is just around the corner, only the Northern Han is still relying on the power of the Khitan to resist stubbornly. The next step is to formulate a plan to destroy the Han! Ahem..."

"Your Majesty, please drink some water first." Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was coughing violently, Wei Qiansui could not help but persuade him to drink more water.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were deep, and he suddenly became a little lonely. He sighed, "I feel like my time is up..."

"Your Majesty!" Wei Qiansui was shocked! He looked around and saw a young eunuch standing outside the door with his back to them. He immediately shouted, "Eunuch Li, tell the guards outside to retreat ten feet!"

The eunuch Li at the door didn't even turn his head and immediately responded, "Yes!" His figure quickly disappeared at the door! They are all smart people, and their reactions are fast!

Wei Qiansui stared at Yue Kuangyin with mixed feelings!

He had known the man in front of him many years ago. At that time, he was a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was the one who discovered him!
Wei Qiansui recalled the past. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin did not look like a general, but more like a hero in the martial arts world! At that time, he was quite famous in the martial arts world. It is said that he rose from an ordinary general to
Who could have thought that the "accidental achievement" back then would actually give rise to a founding emperor!
The fate of countless people has also undergone earth-shaking changes!
"Your Majesty, you are in the prime of your life, how could you have such thoughts?"

"You don't have to comfort me. I know my own body best! I don't have much time left, half a year at most, three months at least, cough," he sighed and pointed at the map, "Northern Han, Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun... I don't have time anymore, I can only rely on Guangyi!"

"Prince Jin...are you going to...confess today?"

"Yes!"

Someone outside the palace shouted, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin has arrived!"

Wei Qiansui glanced at Zhao Kuangyin and immediately said, "Please come in, Your Highness!" As he said that, he went out to greet him!

After entering the palace, the Prince of Jin walked to Zhao Kuangyin and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Zhao Kuangyin hurried over to help him up and looked him over, "My royal brother, please get up quickly. You've worked really hard in this campaign against Shu and you've lost a lot of weight!"

Zhao Guangyi said: "Haha, it's not hard! I basically rested in the carriage along the way, so I'm not very tired. After all, we won the battle!" A proud smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Kuangyin said, "Hurry up and sit down. Your Highness, you should sit down too."

The three of them took their seats.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi and suddenly fell silent. He didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. Wei Qiansui was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first!" Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything, which was equivalent to tacit consent. Wei Qiansui immediately got up and left!

When Wei Qiansui left the palace, Zhao Guangyi smiled awkwardly, "Brother Royal urgently summoned me to the palace. What is your order?"

Zhao Kuangyin had no expression, as if he was thinking about something. After a long while, he finally said, "Is there anything else I don't know about the trip to Xishu?"

Zhao Guangyi smiled and said, "Brother, what do you mean? I can say that I report the battle situation by carrier pigeon every day..."

Zhao Huangyin said solemnly: "I'm not talking about the battle report!"

Zhao Guangyi's heart moved, and he pretended to be puzzled: "That is..."

Zhao Kuangyin stopped playing tricks and said, "Let me remind you, Madam Huarui!"

Zhao Guangyi's face changed slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm, "Oh, so you are talking about Madam Huarui. I was just about to report this to my brother, the emperor."

Zhao Kuangyin remained calm and said, "You say."

Zhao Guangyi laughed, "I don't want to give my brother a surprise! I will send her to the palace tonight!"

Zhao Kuangyin's expression remained unchanged. He stared at Zhao Guangyi's face and said calmly, "What's the matter with that jade slave?"

Zhao Guangyi was immediately shocked! What was supposed to come finally came!
"Haha, the emperor is the emperor, even this woman knows it!"

"And this woman?" Zhao Kuangyin's face began to darken. "You are not usually a lustful person. How come you suddenly become like this?"

Now that the words have been spoken, Zhao Guangyi simply said, "Maybe I was too proud of my victory and got carried away, and I was a little impulsive!"

Zhao Kuangyin's expression gradually turned grim. "Impulsive? Do you know the price of impulsiveness?"

Zhao Guangyi asked, "Isn't she the wife of Liu Miezhou?"

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Now that you know this, why are you still impulsive?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "I only found out after I got impulsive!"

With a slap, Zhao Kuangyin slammed the table, his face full of anger, "You said it was easy, but what about the price? How much will we have to pay?"

Zhao Guangyi frowned and said coldly: "Isn't it just my head? I'll just wait for him to come and take it!"

Zhao Kuangyin was immediately speechless!
What the hell is the price? Is one human head enough?
Zhao Kuangyin coughed a few more times, so violently that it seemed as if he could cough out his lungs!
Zhao Guangyi frowned, "Your cough was not obvious when I left Beijing, why is it so serious now?"

Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhao Guangyi's eyes full of concern and couldn't help but sigh, "I hope you won't make the same mistake again! There are many better women in the world. Let Yu Nu go tomorrow, apologize, contact Feng Jiuxiao first, and ask him to help mediate. No matter how much it costs, you must get their forgiveness, otherwise, we will be in danger!"

Zhao Guangyi said, "Danger? Feng Jiuxiao and his men are highly skilled in martial arts, but now the world belongs to our Zhao family. I will order all martial arts masters in the world to gather in the palace, including the masters of Longhu Mountain. Even if they have a relationship with Feng Jiuxiao, they dare not disobey my order! Even if Feng Jiuxiao attacks me, he will have to walk over the corpses of his fellow martial artists in the Central Plains! Even if he can get to me, he will probably be at the end of his strength! Can tens of thousands of martial arts masters in the Central Plains not kill him alone?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi as if he were a stranger. Is this person still his brother?
"Have you already considered the possibility of falling out with Feng Jiuxiao?"

"Yes, to be honest with you, my brother, I have already thought about it! Feng Jiuxiao is definitely a stumbling block for us!"

"What are you talking about? Feng Jiuxiao has made great contributions to my ascending the throne!" "Brother, the so-called merit is our weak spot!"

"I don't agree! You don't understand how terrifying Feng Jiuxiao is! If he wants to kill you, even thousands of troops can't stop him! Even if the entire Central Plains martial arts world is exhausted, it can't stop him from killing you! Remember my words, don't offend him!"

"Brother Emperor, I will listen to you!" Instead of arguing about such a meaningless topic, it is better to pretend to obey.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, "I can't control what you want to do in the future, just do whatever you want. I asked you to come here today to discuss the matter of attacking Northern Han!"

Zhao Guangyi's eyes glowed with passion. "Great! Now that Western Shu has been taken, we can concentrate our forces to attack Northern Han!"

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Who do you think is suitable to lead the army?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "I think Pan Mei is good!"

"Pan Mei? Well, he is indeed a good commander. He was the one who destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty! Where is the deputy general?"

"Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, Liu Yu and others are all good. After the Southern Tang was pacified some time ago, Li Jixun, Cao Bin, Dang Jin and others all fought against the Northern Han, but none of them won any battles! Therefore, it is most promising to let Pan Mei be the Northern Route Recruiting and Controlling Envoy to control all the armies!"

"Okay, then you should hurry up and prepare the list, arrange the relevant logistical support matters, and strive to take down Northern Han in one fell swoop!"

"After we take over Northern Han, it will be Khitan!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"No! After conquering Northern Han, we should rest and recuperate first. Do not make enemies with Khitan within ten years!"

"When we attacked Northern Han, Khitan would have sent troops. The war had already started then. How could they wait until ten years later?"

"It's different this time! Ahem... ahem... as long as we can stop the Khitan reinforcements, the internal situation of the Khitan is also very delicate now. They will not fight to the death with us for the Northern Han. With the current strength of both sides, neither can swallow the other. A short-term confrontation is beneficial to both sides!"

"As long as we take down Northern Han and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyan, they will lose their fertile land and food supply. Once winter comes, they will have to go back to their old ways of eating raw meat and drinking blood. How can they fight us? It's a good opportunity to conquer Khitan in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Kuangyin stared at Zhao Guangyi, "You are really ambitious, but you have to understand that doing things requires the right time, right place, and right people! Now we have the right time and right people to attack the Northern Han! But attacking the Khitan, we have none of these three! The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyan are flat, just right for cavalry combat! We can't beat their heavy cavalry at all!"

"They are heavily armored cavalry, but we have three-bow crossbows! We can shoot them and knock them off their horses!"

"You'd better listen to me! After you take down Northern Han, don't set your sights on the north! Feng Jiuxiao and Queen Mother Xiao once had a hundred-year alliance. Remember, as long as Feng Jiuxiao is alive and Queen Mother Xiao is still in power, this alliance will always work even if it is verbal!"

"You said I shouldn't focus on the north, so where should I focus on?"

"Put it here!" Zhao Kuangyin pointed at the map.

Zhao Guangyi stood over and took a look. There were two characters written on that place: "Xiazhou"! The key point was that there were two characters written in red ink: "Dangxiang" next to it!
"Dangxiang people?"

"That's right! They call themselves Xiazhou to us, but the Khitans are planning to confer the title of Xia Kingdom on them!"

"The Khitans are trying to repeat their old tricks and support another puppet regime to disgust us!"

"They are different from the Northern Han! Although they also have ambitions and want to become emperors, they now know how to keep a low profile. Their combat power is far stronger than that of the Northern Han. They have heavy cavalry and their combat power is even higher than ours! But they have been enduring and accumulating strength. They are the most terrifying enemy!"

Zhao Guangyi did not agree!
"You said they are stronger than us, I don't believe it!"

When Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhao Guangyi's disapproving look, he became furious: "Do you think I'm kidding you? You disappoint me so much! Cough cough... Forget it, don't worry about the Northern Expedition for now, take a rest for half a year!" He was so excited that his lungs were affected, causing him to cough violently, and he didn't stop for a long time!

He instinctively took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. When he put it down again, the handkerchief was covered with blood!
Zhao Guangyi obviously saw it as well, and his brows immediately frowned!
He never expected that Zhao Kuangyin would be like this now!

The murderous intent hidden deep in his heart actually faded a lot at this moment!

He thought to himself, how many days can Zhao Kuangyin live in his current state? If he died in the next few days, then everything would be fine, and he could ascend the throne directly, and he would not have to bear the eternal infamy of "Brother Shi"!

Seeing Zhao Guangyi staring at him without saying anything, with a look of something strange in his eyes, Zhao Kuangyin pointed at the antique shelf next to him and said, "What are you standing there for? Give me the red porcelain bottle on the antique shelf in the corner. There are pills in that bottle that the imperial physician prescribed for me!"

Zhao Guangyi walked to the corner and looked at a pile of porcelain bottles, several of which were red. "Which one? Is this the one? This doesn't look like cough medicine!" He opened it and smelled it.

Zhao Kuangyin covered his chest with his hands, his face pale. "It's the five-colored plum vase with dragon pattern. It contains medicine for curing chest pain, that's right. I feel very stuffy in my chest now, and I'm almost out of breath. Please help me... cough..."

Zhao Guangyi's hand suddenly stopped!

He actually has a heart disease? He looks so bad now, is he suffering from a heart disease? Why didn't I know he had chest pain before?

Zhao Guangyi picked up the porcelain bottle but did not turn around. As he looked at the medicine bottle, he began to hesitate.

If Zhao Kuangyin is given the medicine right now, he will naturally recover immediately. After all, this is the elixir made by Doctor Zhang, so it must be very effective. But if he recovers, he will definitely be disqualified from participating in the Northern Expedition. Moreover, he just asked Zhao Kuangyin to rest for six months. It is not certain whether he can survive today. Who will be the emperor in six months? The two sons of the emperor are not young anymore. The elder one is already fourteen years old and can ascend the throne! How old is the Liao emperor now?

Zhao Kuangzhuan's body began to stagger, and he staggered backwards involuntarily. Behind him was a weapon rack, with axes, spears, and halberds arranged in order! They were all long weapons used by infantry! Zhou Shizong placed his armor in his hall, always reminding himself not to forget to take back the lost land in the north!

Influenced by this, Zhao Kuangyin placed a row of weapons in his palace, also to remind himself that the world is not settled, and he must not put the weapons into storage and let the horses go to the mountains! He had difficulty breathing, leaned on the weapon rack, and opened his mouth, "You... what do you want to do..."

Zhao Guangyi slowly turned around and just looked at Zhao Kuangyin quietly, not moving.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned.

Anger gradually appeared in his eyes!
His son is still young. Once he takes over, he will not be able to control these powerful generals under him!
Once upon a time, he had spent countless nights thinking about the issue of succession to the throne. After repeated considerations, he came to a conclusion! If he wanted the Song Dynasty to have a smooth transition after his "hundred years", the best solution was to let Zhao Guangyi take over! Regardless of ability and prestige, he had enough!
But what was this guy doing now? Why didn't he bring the medicine over? Did he want to suffocate me to death due to the heartache? Why did he suddenly become so vicious? Was it because of what I said in anger just now?

"I said... let you rest... for half a year... but it was just... an angry remark..."

Zhao Guangyi was unmoved. He walked to the table, put down the medicine bottle, turned around and walked out, "I put the medicine down for you." He turned around and walked out of the hall.

Zhao Kuangyin was heartbroken and could not take another step. Seeing Zhao Guangyi put down the medicine bottle and walked out, he knew that Zhao Guangyi had the intention to kill him. He left at this time to give him evidence of his absence. He was so cunning! Zhao Kuangyin was furious at his brother's unexpected betrayal. He used up his last bit of strength to grab the axe and threw it at Zhao Guangyi! Unfortunately, how far could he throw it with his current strength?

The people outside saw the candlelight swaying in the hall, as if someone was walking around, and then they saw King Jin push the door open and come out. Just as he was about to greet them, he suddenly heard a bang from inside the hall. It was the sound of a hatchet falling to the ground! The sound of a hatchet falling to the ground was obviously different from that of a spear, a halberd, or a broadsword, and you could tell them apart at a glance.

Why is there a sound of Ban Ye falling to the ground?

Many guards emerged from the shadows, and saw His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin looking into the palace. His face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Quickly call Doctor Zhang!"
