The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 384
When Zhao Kuangyin returned to Bianjing, Yeluxian and Li Yin, who had already plundered the Northern Han Dynasty and then went to Liao, finally heard the news that Zhao Kuangyin was seriously ill.

After the news came, both Ye Luxian and Li Yin were shocked, and then regretted it.

It never occurred to them that the reason why the Song Army retreated in a hurry was because Zhao Kuangyin was seriously ill. If they knew that Zhao Kuangyin was seriously ill, they could have counterattacked aggressively.

But it is too late now.

Zhao Kuangyin has already returned to Bianjing, even if Zhao Kuangyin died of a serious illness, it may be difficult for their Liao soldiers to rush to Bianjing, right?
Ye Luxian shook his head and sighed, it was very worthless for him.

At this time, Li Yin showed a slight smile after contemplating, "My lord, this is an opportunity for us."

Ye Luxian sighed softly: "It's a pity that the opportunity was missed."

Li Yin shook his head: "No, my lord, the opportunity has not been missed. Now Zhao Kuangyin is seriously ill, but their Great Song Dynasty has not yet established a prince. Do you think that if Zhao Kuangyin dies, will their Great Song Dynasty mess up?"

Ye Luxian frowned deeply, and then asked: "Sir, do you mean that the princes of the Song Dynasty will fight for the throne?"

Li Yin nodded: "That's right. Zhao Kuangyin's son, King Wu Zhao Dezhao, has always wanted to be the crown prince, but there are two uncles in front of him who have been watching over him. His subordinates feel that as long as Zhao Kuangyin dies, they will definitely make trouble."

Ye Luxian felt that Li Yin was right.

"Sir, what he said is reasonable, but if they continue to make trouble, what good will it do us?"

Li Yin smiled shallowly: "The chaos in the Song Dynasty is of great benefit to us. We may take advantage of the fire to plunder the Song Dynasty's border gates, or reach an agreement with a certain party in the Song Dynasty to help him win the throne, and wait for this After a man becomes emperor, will he obey our Liao Kingdom's words?"

After Li Yin finished speaking, there was another sneer on the corner of his mouth. In fact, in his opinion, as long as the Song Dynasty is not stable, the Liao people will benefit a lot. That's right, who do you think we should support?"

"We will support whoever can benefit our Liao Kingdom, and in the eyes of my subordinates, the weakest power in the Song Dynasty is King Wei, because no matter from that aspect, it is not his turn to be the emperor. The emperor has a bad reputation, so he needs our support the most, and as long as we negotiate with him, he will most likely agree to cooperate with us."

"King Wei?" Ye Luxian said it lightly, then nodded: "That's right, this King Wei is the weakest and ambitious, he definitely needs our help, so let's send someone to sneak into the city of Bianjing immediately , discuss with the king of Wei, as long as he cooperates with us, we will help him win the throne."

After Ye Luxian finished speaking, Li Yin quickly agreed. He believed that as long as they would cooperate with King Wei and support King Wei to become emperor, then Daliao would gain a lot from the court of Song Dynasty. the benefits you want.

And as long as the king of Wei is in control, even if the king of Wei does not become the emperor in the end, it will be a good thing for them.

Great Song capital.

With Zhao Kuangyin's return to Beijing, the capital gradually regained its stability and prosperity, and the number of people on the streets gradually increased and became lively, but the weather became colder every day.

Zhao Defang went to the palace to beg to see his father recently, but he was only allowed to meet him once. After that meeting, he found that his father had suddenly aged a lot, with white hair on the sideburns and a haggard face. The occasional cough or two in the cold weather made him look much more lonely.

Zhao Defang felt very uncomfortable suddenly, but he didn't know what to do. He looked at his father and suddenly cried.

He didn't dare to stay in his father's residence for too long, he was afraid that his father would not be able to rest, and after he left his father's residence, he went directly to his mother's place.

Empress Xiaoming has not closed her eyes for the past few days. The emperor is seriously ill, and she is deeply disturbed. She is very afraid, afraid that Zhao Kuangyin will just let go like this. After he leaves, what will the Great Song Dynasty do? What should he do? manage?
When Zhao Defang came looking for her, Empress Xiaoming felt a little better. Among these princes, Empress Xiaoming liked Zhao Defang the most. She felt that her son had an indescribably attractive charm, which was better than her own. The son of King Wu Zhao Dezhao is much stronger.

Unfortunately, she also knew that Zhao Defang's power in the court was still too weak, and he had no advantage at all in the struggle for imperial power.

However, if her son has a heart, she feels that she can work hard for him, so when Zhao Defang came to visit her today, she looked at Zhao Defang and asked a question: "Defang, the sage is seriously ill now, You may die at any time, but I don't have a prince in the Song Dynasty, so how about the queen mother fighting for you?"

Hearing his mother's words, Zhao Defang was very moved, but he hesitated for a moment: "Now the emperor has asked Uncle Jin and King Wu to handle state affairs at the same time. I am afraid that in the heart of the Holy One, one of them is going to be enthroned. ...I'm afraid there is no chance."

It's not that Queen Xiaoming doesn't know what Zhao Defang said, but in comparison, she is more like letting her son be a prince, or even an emperor. This son of hers is filial. Peace of mind.

"As long as my son has this heart, the queen mother will try her best to fight for you, and your father is also very satisfied with you, maybe he will really let you be the crown prince."

Temptation, Zhao Defang is very clear that these words of his mother's queen are definitely temptations for him, the throne, who is not tempted?I'm afraid that in this world, even a person who is aloof from the world, when someone wants to give him the throne, his heart will suddenly be moved.

If I can be the emperor, I must be diligent in government and love the people, and I must build the Great Song Dynasty more brilliantly, which is more magnificent and prosperous than the Great Han Dynasty and the Great Tang Dynasty...

Zhao Defang has such a heart, and he really has expectations for the throne, so after his mother said this, he said very cautiously: "Everything is arranged by the mother."

Hearing Zhao Defang's words, Empress Xiaoming nodded in satisfaction. In fact, one of the reasons why she wanted to fight for Zhao Defang was that Zhao Defang was obedient. An emperor who was willing to listen to her words was naturally the best and most beneficial to her.

"Okay, okay, the queen mother will go to your royal father and show him what the queen mother thinks."
