The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 523
The news of the surrender of Wuyue Kingdom soon spread to Shangzhou.

After hearing this, Liu Wei was not particularly surprised. The military strength of the Wuyue Kingdom is getting weaker and weaker, but the Great Song Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. The Great Song Dynasty has already wiped out the Southern Han, Southern Tang and Northern Han, so what about a small Wuyue Can survive?
This is a preordained ending.

Liu Wei was not surprised, he was just a little worried, worried that Zhao Guangyi would become arrogant because it was too easy to destroy Wu Yue, and then easily raise troops against Liao.

Now that the situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms has come to an end, and the Great Song Dynasty has become the new master of the Central Plains, but the Sixteen States of Yanyun have not taken it back, Zhao Guangyi is afraid that he will not be reconciled, and his ambition to surpass his imperial brother Zhao Kuangyin is also high. unattainable.

Liu Wei also wanted to conquer the Sixteen States of Yanyun, but he felt that it was not the time yet, and the result of rashly sending troops would be very unpleasant.

And when Liu Wei was thinking about this, things in Shangzhou were almost over, the weather had entered the end of summer, the cicadas were gradually disappearing, and there was more dew in the morning.

After a few more days, all the water in Shangzhou was finally diverted into the Yellow River, and the part of the dam that broke the embankment was also built.

On the way to Shangzhou, although there were some troubles, fortunately, they were all resolved, and Liu Wei also avenged the people of Huayang Village in his own way, killing Pan Weiji.

Seeing what happened in Shangzhou, Liu Wei felt that it was time for them to go back.

So on this morning, Liu Wei sent people to gather the people of Shangzhou.

After the people of Shangzhou came together, they all looked at Liuwei. Now they still rely on Liuwei's relief to be able to eat their stomachs every day. Now that the dam is built, they have nothing to do, and they are also nervous about Liuwei's arrangements. Really, I don't know what Liu Wei will do.

After seeing everyone, Liu Wei pondered for a while, and then said: "The disaster situation in Shangzhou has been brought under control, and now everyone can come and go as usual, but I know that you don't have enough food for the winter, but you don't have to worry about it." , Lu Dinggong, a wealthy businessman in Shangzhou, intended to rebel and was captured by this official. His food has now been confiscated by the court. This official decided to distribute the food to everyone. Although it is not much, as long as everyone is not extravagant, it can support everyone through the winter. "

Hearing Liu Wei's words, these people in Shangzhou immediately became excited. They thought that Liu Wei was not going to give them food, but now it seems that this is not the case. Liu Wei has already prepared food for them, and they are waiting for Shangzhou's It's over.

"Thank you, Master Liu, thank you, Master Liu..."

The people shouted, the sound resounded through the sky, Liu Wei waved his hand, and then ordered Zhugepi to be responsible for distributing food to the people, and while Zhugepi was doing these things, Liu Wei sent someone to clean up and prepare to return to Beijing .

Hearing that she was going back to the capital, Zhao Ling'er was a little excited. After Zhao Kuangyin's death, Zhao Ling'er was left with only her mother, Zhao Jingniang. Now that they have been away for so long, she still misses her mother very much.

It's just that when she was excited, she found that Liu Wei's expression was not particularly good.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Ling'er looked at Liu Wei and asked.

Liu Wei smiled: "I'm afraid that after returning to the capital this time, I will leave the capital again soon."

Zhao Ling'er frowned slightly, a little puzzled, and said, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"What did I do in Shangzhou?"

Zhao Ling'er thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency helped the people of Shangzhou solve the flood. This is a great achievement."

Liu Wei shook his head: "But on the way to solve the flood, many things about this official made the current emperor feel jealous and displeased, whether it was not distributing disaster relief food to the people, or making things like bombs."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, Zhao Ling'er understood that he did not distribute relief food to the people. It was easy for people in the court to think that Liu Wei wanted to raise food and grass for rebellion, and explosives were too powerful, let alone Zhao Guangyi. Anyone in the court will feel jealous of Liu Wei.

"Your Excellency is so smart, and you are the pillar of the entire Song Dynasty, how can the Holy One be willing to punish you?"

Liu Wei shook his head: "As an emperor, it is impossible to be ruthless. Today's sage is ruthless. For the sake of his own Zhao family, he will do anything."

The most ruthless emperor's family, Zhao Ling'er thought for a moment, and said: "Then how will the Holy One deal with the adults?"

"After all, I didn't do anything special, so decapitation or house arrest is unlikely. If there is no accident, I may be dismissed from the post of political affairs officer, and then find a place for me to retire. "

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Zhao Ling'er burst out laughing, but after she laughed, she felt that something was wrong and held back, saying: "My lord really knows how to joke, you are not yet [-] years old, why should you support me. "

Liu Wei smiled: "It's possible that that place is where I will retire."

Zhao Linger was taken aback for a moment, and didn't understand the meaning of Liu Wei's words until this time, but even so, she was not very sad, because she saw that Liu Wei didn't show any worry or sadness, and he seemed to be a little sorry.

"Does your lord like the battle in court?"

Liu Wei looked at Zhao Ling'er, this woman with excellent medical skills is really beautiful, the kind of beauty that makes people's heart beat.

"Who would like to fight in the court, but in the court, I can't help myself. If I don't fight, I can only be raped. If you want to live with dignity in this world, you have to do many things." Go for it and fight for it.”

Speaking of this, Liu Weicai finally showed a slight smile. Maybe he felt that it was not appropriate for him to talk about the dark side of the court with Zhao Linger. The hall is not bad, sir, you are not short of money, and with your status as a son-in-law, if others want to bully you, you can't do it, right?"

Hermit?

After listening to Zhao Linger's words, Liu Wei suddenly thought of this word. How carefree Tao Yuanming was when he picked chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. , I am afraid that the life I live will be happier than Tao Yuanming, but I want to go back to seclusion, will those people in the court be willing?
Once you step into the imperial court, how easy is it to get out?It may be possible to leave the court, but can you avoid the enemy's plot if you leave the court?
In comparison, it is easier to control the situation in the court, and if you have power in the court, even if others want to harm you, you have to weigh it. If you leave the court and become a commoner, even if you have the status of a son-in-law, then so what?
After Liu Wei thought of these things, he didn't show anything to Zhao Ling'er. After a slight smile, he said: "We can make plans after returning to the capital. Retirement will take a while after all."

Saying that, Liu Wei looked into the distance and sighed softly.
