The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 547
It's not that Empress Dowager Du didn't know that Zhao Guangyi was bound to die this time, but she wanted to use family affection to convert Zhao Kuangyin.

I hope he spared Zhao Guangyi's life for the sake of family affection. If Zhao Kuangyin said these words when he hadn't seen his two children, there might still be hope.

But ever since he heard the word renyi, Zhao Kuangyin had already made up his mind.

"Mother, do you know that after I was in a coma and news of Xu'er's death came out, Guangyi's sitting on the throne was originally for the good of my Zhao family, and even more so for the good of Song."

"To keep our Zhao family's country from happening like Hou Zhou's, he did the right thing."

"Kuangyin, since you think Guangyi is doing the right thing, why do you still want to put him on death row? I also know that few people who have been put on death row can come out."

You think that the death row is just a big prison, it is not like some film and television dramas in later generations say that you can get out of the death row.

Zhao Xu knew that the so-called death row was for those who were destined to die, and they were generally not released.

Even if the emperor grants amnesty, these people will not be pardoned, that is to say, these people must die.

The reason why Queen Mother Du is so anxious is because she is really worried about Zhao Guangyi's safety. Are they all her children?

"Grandma, I'm afraid that the emperor can't take the lead in this matter now. It was only a matter of our Zhao family, but now it is beyond the control of the emperor. Now he has violated the law of the country."

While giving the queen mother peace of mind, Zhao Xu talked about Zhao Guangyi's affairs, including Zhao Guangyi's collusion with foreign countries and the assassination of Zhao Xu.

"Not only that, he was the one who poisoned the father, which caused the father to be in a coma for such a long time. Now the ministers have already ordered to punish the second uncle, so I say that the father has nothing to do."

What, Guangyi did it, everything was done by Guangyi, how could Guangyi do this.

This is his elder brother, his nephew, how could he do it, how could he do it.

"Mother!" Zhao Kuangyin hadn't called her that way for a long time, but when Zhao Kuangyin said this, he was already kneeling on the ground.

"Mother, this time it's not our Zhao family's business anymore. My imperial case is already full of Guangyi's crimes, and I can't do anything about it."

"I am Guangyi's elder brother, and I never thought that Guangyi would do such a thing. My father left early. As the so-called elder brother is a father, I have not fulfilled my duty as an elder brother."

"Mother also said just now that love is greater than law, that is in ordinary people, but now I am not only his elder brother, but also the emperor of Song Dynasty, I can't..."

What Zhao Kuangyin said is already obvious, I am not only the head of the family, but also the emperor of this country.

I can't be selfish, I've already talked about this, what else can Queen Mother Du say, I want to go back to the situation when the two of them were together when they were young.

Zhao Kuangyin always said that he would protect his younger brother, but now he wants to send his younger brother to the guillotine single-handedly.

"Grandma and my dad are right. The second uncle is our relative. Even if he commits a serious crime, we will forgive him, but now it's not just our family business."

"Just like what daddy said just now, an older brother is like a father, and my daddy can punish my second uncle for making mistakes."

Zhao Xu kept comforting the old lady, we didn't want to embarrass Zhao Guangyi, but this was beyond our ability.

As an emperor, you can't do whatever you want, and many things need to be compromised, such as this time.

Some ministers began to impeach Zhao Guangyi. As an emperor, if Zhao Kuangyin insisted on going his own way, he would definitely lose the support of the ministers.

This will be even more terrifying. If Zhao Kuangyin's throne is unstable, it will not be worth the loss.

If Zhao Guangyi is not punished to a certain extent, such things may happen to the Zhao family in the future.

The descendants of the Zhao family already have a role model, Zhao Guangyi has done this, can we also imitate it?

The consequences were even more serious. Zhao Xu made it clear on purpose for Queen Mother Du to think about it.

"Kuangyin, get up, you are the emperor, why do you kneel down at every turn, you can do what you want to do with Guangyi, but you promise me not to embarrass his family, his child is less than one year old, that is my Zhao family sons and grandchildren."

……

"Guangyi and our two brothers haven't had such a good drink for a long time. I didn't expect to meet in such a place. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be like this."

"Hahaha brother, this is the last Wuliangye in the palace. After drinking this Wuliangye, the other wines I drink are all tasteless."

Zhao Guangyi is still in the same fine clothes, and has not changed because of himself in the prison, and the people here are also taking care of him carefully.

"Brother, what I did this time was a bit too much. To be honest, I also know that I will die. I am very resigned. Why can you be the emperor, why can't I?"

"In the end, I found that I was indeed not as good as you. You have that kind of charisma. Besides, the prince is also very capable. I worked hard to win over a few generals who didn't have much strength. I found that I couldn't compare with you guys. gone."

Zhao Guangyi has no scruples now, and the two brothers have nothing to say at this point.

"Guangyi, in fact, I have also thought about what would happen to our two brothers if I was not the emperor. I also thought that if the crown prince is incapable, I will pass the throne to you."

"However, elder brother never thought that you would assassinate Xu'er and have collusion with Nantang. How can you ask elder brother to spare you?"

Zhao Kuangyin spoke in a very low voice, he didn't know what to think about what Zhao Guangyi said, his own decision.

Zhao Guangyi didn't say anything when he heard this, and directly drank the wine in front of him.

"Brother, I only have one request. My child knows these things at all. Please don't embarrass him. All the responsibilities are borne by me alone."

"Guangyi, you asked me to tell you what is good about you. I hope that after drinking this wine, you can have some insights. The rest of the things are arranged for you to do it."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything, and left silently. Zhao Guangyi didn't see a trace of tears streaming from the corner of Zhao Kuangyin's eyes.

"After drinking this glass of wine, I should be on my way, haha." After drinking the wine in the glass, he fell into endless darkness.

Maybe he was already in another world when he woke up, and he didn't know where, but what is certain is that Zhao Guangyi will not exist in the future.
