The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 465 Eight Immortals Building

Baxianlou is just an ordinary restaurant in Kaifeng, the capital city.

In the afternoon of that day, when all the guests in the Eight Immortals Tower had left, Zhao Pu walked in slowly. Zhao Pu felt very surprised by the invitation from King Wu's concubine Xia He, which he didn't want to come.

It's just that he was very strange, why did King Wu's concubine Xia He invite him?
As the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, his sense of smell is very sensitive. Although he didn't know the purpose of Xia He's invitation, he vaguely felt that something big was going to happen in the capital, so he finally decided to meet that Xia He.

The Eight Immortals Building is located in the bustling area of ​​the capital, and Xia He is a woman, and he, Zhao Pu, thinks he won't be afraid of her.

After entering the Eight Immortals Building in this way, a restaurant clerk immediately greeted him and led him to a private room on the second floor.

Pushing the door open, the first thing I saw was a stunning woman, who was drinking tea, looking calm and calm, Zhao Pu glanced at her, and then said with a smile: "I don't know why Miss Xia He invited the old man here? "

Xia He got up and smiled slightly, asked Zhao Pu to sit down on the opposite side, and then sat down again, and said: "Master Zhao is invited to come, mainly because there is something I want to discuss with Master Zhao."

"Oh, I wonder what Miss Xia He wants to discuss with the old man?"

Xia He poured a cup of tea for Zhao Pu, and then said: "Talk about finding your lord and the late emperor."

Hearing such a sentence, Zhao Pu's heart sank suddenly, but his face was as usual, and he said: "I want to hear about the late emperor's affairs."

Xia He was not in a hurry, she slightly raised her eyes to look at Zhao Pu, and said: "When the late emperor was here, he often treated Mr. Zhao as a brother, which gave you infinite glory, and Mr. is resourceful, and he is also the brain of the late emperor. It can be said that the late emperor Master Zhao is kind to you, but what a pity, what did Master Zhao do for the late emperor? Do you think you are worthy of the late emperor?"

In Xia He's words, there was a clear sense of blame, and Zhao Pu was a little surprised. If Xia He really wanted to blame himself for being sorry for Zhao Kuangyin, why didn't he tell himself this until now?

"Miss Xia He is still too young. Above the court, there is no absolute trust and favor. The late emperor was really good to me before, but didn't he find an excuse to let me resign later? I don't think so. What is there to be sorry for the late emperor? As for what you said I did for the late emperor? There are many, many of which are because a woman like you simply cannot understand that the late emperor was the founding king of the Song Dynasty, and what he wanted was the prosperity of the entire Song Dynasty , and what I did for the late emperor was to preserve the prosperity of the Song Dynasty."

Xia He showed a look of contempt, she felt that Zhao Pu's words were completely unreasonable, she didn't see what Zhao Pu did for the late emperor at all, and what does the prosperity of the Song Dynasty have to do with him?
Zhao Pu seemed to be able to understand the contempt in Xia He's eyes, so he just smiled lightly, and then continued: "The first emperor wanted the Great Song Dynasty to prosper, but how do you think the Great Song Dynasty can be made prosperous? Do you want that King Wu of yours to be the emperor?" Ridiculous, although King Wu is the prince of the Holy One, but the Holy One knows him very well, King Wu has great talent and lack of talent, it is impossible to make the Song Dynasty rich and strong, and he is too weak, it is impossible for the weak to be the opponent of the current Holy Lord and King Wei, he If you become emperor, the Song Dynasty will be in chaos, do you think the late emperor wanted to see such a situation?"

Xia He was very angry when she heard Zhao Pu say that King Wu Zhida was too talented, but she couldn't refute what Zhao Pu said later. She knew better than anyone what kind of person King Wu was. He had great ambitions, but his Dazhi is not worthy of his talent.

It's just that Xia He didn't care about this point. In her opinion, as long as King Wu can become the emperor, he doesn't need to bother too much about how to govern the country, as long as she persuades King Wu's relatives and ministers to stay away from villains.

Why does the emperor have to do everything himself when governing the country?

Xia He looked at Zhao Pu, but he didn't express his opinion. For him, he couldn't say anything bad about King Wu.

"Lord Zhao is too self-righteous. All the actions before the death of the Holy One have already shown that he is inclined to make King Wu the crown prince. If the Holy One did not die suddenly, how could King Jin take advantage of it?"

Zhao Pu shook his head: "In the beginning, Emperor Xian did intend to establish King Wu as the crown prince, because Emperor Xian thought he could live for decades, and in these decades, he could teach King Wu well and teach him how to be a virtuous man. It is a pity that the first emperor's illness was too sudden, and he realized that he might not live long, so he knew that it would not be a good thing for Song Dynasty to have King Wu as the heir, so he asked the emperor to supervise the country with King Wu at the last moment .”

After saying this, Xia He's expression froze slightly. Xia He knew all these situations and they were all facts. Zhao Kuangyin did want to make his son the heir apparent at the beginning, but he didn't have much time to teach King Wu. Therefore, for the future of the entire Song Dynasty, he could only pass on the throne to Zhao Guangyi, because only Zhao Guangyi could stabilize the court.

Xia He understood that it was only for the one she loved, but this time she decided to do it knowing she couldn't do it.

Seeing the guilt of not being able to remember Zhao Pu, Xia He knew that now she could only use her trump card.

"Since Mr. Zhao insists on thinking this way, then I have nothing to say. How about letting the little girl tell Mr. Zhao one more thing?"

Zhao Pu's heart sank. From what Xia He said today, Zhao Pu could tell that Xia He's visitor was not kind. Although he had talked a lot just now, he felt that it was impossible for someone like Xia He to naively want to use those words just now. Words to impress yourself.

She must have other purposes.

"What does Miss Xia He want to say to this old man?"

Xia He smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that the envoys of Wuyue Kingdom came a few days ago, and even went to Mr. Zhao's residence. Did they send a lot of things?"

Xia He said it casually, but Zhao Pu was startled when he heard it. He looked at Xia He and said coldly, "What does Miss Xia He mean?"

"My meaning is very simple. Mr. Zhao is really a little unrepentant. You know that accepting bribes is a serious crime, but you still enjoy it. Although the things Wu Yue sent are good, Mr. Zhao is not afraid of ruining your future?"

At this time, Zhao Pu finally understood why Xia He was able to be so calm. It turned out that he had grasped the evidence of his bribery, but Zhao Pu was worthy of being the most senior person in the city. Even at this time, he still seemed calm.

"Miss Xia He is a smart person. She shouldn't threaten the old man with this matter for no reason. Tell me, what do you want the old man to do for you?"

Hearing Zhao Pu's words, Xia He secretly rejoiced. What she was most worried about when she came here was that Zhao Pu would not cooperate, but now after hearing these words, she felt that there was something wrong.

"What I want Mr. Zhao to do is very simple. To help King Wu ascend the throne as emperor. As long as Mr. Zhao can do this, I guarantee that Mr. Zhao is not just the prime minister of my Great Song Dynasty."
