The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 356 After Returning to Beijing
In early summer, Zhao Kuangyin's team finally returned to the capital.

The early summer in Bianjing is very hot, and the sound of cicadas comes one after another, which makes people feel uneasy.

King Wu Zhao Dezhao led his officials to greet him in front of the palace. Zhao Kuangyin got off the carriage and did not talk to the officials, but went directly into the palace.

Martial King Zhao Dezhao hesitated for a moment, but hurriedly followed. Now that Cao Bin is defeating Nan Tang steadily, if nothing happens, he can destroy Nan Tang within a month. Such a great achievement, he naturally wants to Reporting to his father, and letting his father see his ability, wouldn't it make him feel more at ease in handing over the Great Song Dynasty to himself?

King Wu Zhao Dezhao followed in, and the other ministers did not disperse. They wanted to know what happened along the way.

It's just that these ministers didn't leave, but Liu Wei took people home.

As soon as she returned to Princess Ruyi's mansion, Princess Ruyi greeted her from inside. She wanted to throw herself into Liu Wei's arms to act like a baby, but she found that Liu Wei was followed by two women, which made her stunned for a moment.

Liu Wei was calm, and introduced: "This is Zhao Jingniang, this is his daughter Zhao Linger, a doctor, and she will live in our house from now on."

Princess Ruyi's Mansion was awarded by the imperial court to Princess Ruyi. It stands to reason that Liu Wei can't just decide who to live in. However, during this period of time, Liu Wei has become more and more powerful, and she has gained more and more respect from Princess Ruyi. , so this family is basically run by Liu Weilai.

Princess Ruyi looked the two of them up and down, and in order not to lose face for Liu Wei, she quickly agreed with a smile, and ordered someone to prepare a courtyard for the two of them.

After Zhao Jingniang and Zhao Ling'er were taken away by the servants, Princess Ruyi and Liu Wei entered the bedroom.

The weather in early summer was a bit hot, and the two of them didn't wear much, and the sweltering hot weather made the two of them feel a little bit excited, so after entering the house, the two had a good time.

After not doing it for such a long time, both of them tried their best.

At the end of the battle, the two were dripping with sweat. Princess Ruyi shook her cattail fan lightly, and angrily said to Liu Weicha, "Tell me, what happened to those two people?"

Princess Ruyi is not an idiot. If Liu Wei is a good friend or friend in Chang'an, Liu Wei can just give them a place outside. With Liu Wei's current financial resources, what kind of house can't be bought?But Liu Wei brought them in at the risk of being jealous, so this matter is not easy.

Because Zhao Kuangyin might come to see Zhao Jingniang, Liu Wei didn't think about concealing the matter, so she told Zhao Jingniang's identity and her relationship with Zhao Kuangyin. , My uncle had such a romantic love story when he was young.

It's just that she was moved, and after she understood Liu Wei's purpose for bringing Zhao Jingniang to live in the mansion, she was still a little angry.

"The emperor can't give Zhao Jingniang a title, so he should compensate her well. How can we let her live in our house? Moreover, the emperor dare not be aboveboard when he comes to see anyone, and he is not afraid of making jokes when it is spread."

Liu Wei smiled. At first he thought so too. In fact, there are many ways to settle Zhao Jingniang and Zhao Linger. As long as Zhao Kuangyin is willing, he can just seal Zhao Jingniang's identity. He can even recognize Zhao Linger as his goddaughter and seal her She is a princess, so it is very appropriate for her to meet Zhao Jingniang for the reason of seeing Zhao Linger.

However, Liu Wei did not provide these suggestions to Zhao Kuangyin, because he needed to use Zhao Jingniang and Zhao Linger.

Everyone knows that the emperor will not easily go to a minister's house, and if he goes to the minister's house, it means that the minister is highly valued by the emperor, and people in the court will gradually move closer to the minister.

If it was before, Liu Wei would not want to be so flamboyant, or even so obvious to form a clique, but for Liu Wei, now he really needs some alliances in the court.

The most critical thing in Song Dynasty is that the wind and rain are coming. Liu Wei doesn't want to get any benefits from it, let alone be turbulent because of the problem of standing in line. He just wants to use his strength so that he will not be trampled on at will.

This sounds unbelievable, but Liu Wei is very clear that everything has its own hidden dangers. When the throne changes hands, who can be sure that no one will use force to solve the problem?

Because Liu Wei has Daniel and Zhan Qing, his strength is still not weak, but if they are against the rioting army, they are useless at all, so no matter what, Liu Wei needs the support of the forbidden army.

And Liu Wei also believes that many forces in the court are now eyeing the imperial army.

These are the reasons why Liu Wei let Zhao Jingniang and Zhao Linger live in his house, but he didn't tell Princess Ruyi that he didn't want Princess Ruyi to get involved in these intrigues.

Royal Palace.

King Wu Zhao Dezhao told Zhao Kuangyin about the matter of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this incident really excited Zhao Kuangyin for a while. It is Zhao Kuangyin's achievement to see the Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed in his lifetime. This matter will also leave a strong stroke.

"You've done a good job. The Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and your contribution is not small." Although he felt that his son was not as smart as he thought, Zhao Kuangyin still wanted to cultivate him well.

And Zhao Kuangyin is also very clear that this is his only choice. He Zhao Kuangyin has many sons, and the ones who are most likely to be chosen by him to inherit the Datong are Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao and Qin Kanghui Wang Zhao Defang.

It's just that Zhao Defang admires folk chivalrous people, and doesn't care much about court affairs. Every day, many people drink with friends, and just want to be free and happy. How can such a person be the heir apparent?

He was very surprised, his son was not like this before, but why did he not care about the affairs of the court at all during this time?
Did he feel that the court was too complicated?

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't figure it out. He never understood what his son was thinking and what he wanted. This might be a common problem of the father of an emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin's approval made Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao a lot excited, so Zhao Dezhao slapped Zhao Kuangyin's flattery hard, such as how his father killed smallpox in Chang'an City, how to kill traitors and so on.

Although Liu Wei did all these things, he didn't mind at all putting these things on his father.

For this, Zhao Kuangyin only smiled lightly, and then asked an abrupt question: "Zhaoer, I ask you for my father, if my father wants to move the capital to Chang'an, do you agree or disagree?"

Martial King Zhao Dezhao, who was talking so much, suddenly stopped, and showed a look of astonishment, as if he didn't understand what his father said just now.

"Move...the capital to Chang'an?" Martial King Zhao Dezhao looked at Zhao Kuangyin, completely forgetting that he was flattering just now.

The style of painting changed so quickly that people were a little caught off guard.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "That's right, what do you think about moving the capital to Chang'an?"

This is a big problem. Martial King Zhao Dezhao dare not say it casually, he must analyze it carefully.

And his way of analyzing the problem is very simple, that is, whether he can please his father, so his analysis is not very long. In fact, since his father raised this matter, it means that his father is Those who agreed to move the capital did not dare to raise it suddenly in the court because the matter was so important.

And since it was his father who proposed to move the capital, if he wanted to be the prince, he had no choice but to support him without hesitation.

"My son thinks it is possible to move the capital to Chang'an."

Zhao Kuangyin was not excited by his son's words, but asked, "Why is it possible?"

King Wu Zhao Dezhao thought for a while, and said: "Chang'an is the ancient capital of the Tang Dynasty. Its layout is magnificent. As the capital, it does not disgrace our Great Song Dynasty. What's more, Chang'an City is surrounded by mountains, which can be attacked and defended. Moving the capital to Chang'an is a big challenge for us. Song's long-term stability is beneficial."

In fact, there are many reasons for moving the capital to Chang'an, but King Wu Zhao Dezhao only mentioned these two reasons, because in his opinion, these two reasons are enough.

Zhao Kuangyin was not too excited about these two reasons given by King Wu Zhao Dezhao, he just nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "So, you support moving the capital?"

Martial King Zhao Dezhao had already answered this question just now. He didn't understand why his father asked it again, but he didn't dare to say anything, but still nodded: "Yes, I support moving the capital to Chang'an City."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Okay, it's good to have your support. I hope that everyone in the court can also support my decision."

After saying this, Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and told Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao to retreat. When Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao left, he finally understood why his father asked a question twice.

Moving the capital to Chang'an is a big event, if he just agrees with his father, it is useless, and the ministers of the court must agree to it, and the meaning of what his father said to him can't be more clear, that is him, King Wu Zhao Dezhao agreed, so those ministers who took refuge in him should also agree. Only in this way, if there is a force in the court to support the capital move, this matter can be successful.

And this is what Zhao Kuangyin likes to do the most.It is also the purpose of talking to him so much.

King Wu Zhao Dezhao frowned, and decided to go back to the palace first before making any plans. On the way back to the mansion, King Wu Zhao Dezhao, news from the palace had already reached the ears of King Jin.

At that time in Guanfo Temple, because of the sudden incident, King Jin's influence could not be touched, but in the palace, he could get every word Zhao Kuangyin said and the concubine he favored every night.

How could he not get what Zhao Kuangyin said to King Wu Zhao Dezhao?
And when the king of Jin learned that Zhao Kuangyin was going to move the capital, he immediately called Su Tongkan.
