- At dusk that day, Shi Wei didn't know when Zhao Kuangyin passed away. He only vaguely remembered that before Zhao Kuangyin died, he kept muttering to himself the words "one emperor for eternity".
¡°Also, Shi Wei will never forget that relieved smile.
The founding emperor of the Song Dynasty passed away without a trace of regret.
With the whole country in mourning, Prince Zhao Dezhao, under the persuasion of his ministers, succeeded to the throne in front of the late Emperor Lingshu, respected the late Emperor Zhao Kuangyin as Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and ordered a general amnesty for the world.
When the Liao Kingdom, which was driven out of the Yanyun area, heard that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was newly dead, the hawks were ready to take advantage of the mourning period of the Song Dynasty to send their troops south to recapture Yanyun.
However, the suggestions of the hawks were sternly rejected by Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo.
In the battle of Yanyun, a large number of hawk generals died at the hands of the Song army. In the battle of Gaoliang River, the leader of the hawks, Brother Yeluxiu, was killed.
After this battle, the power of the hawkish dignitaries in the Liao Kingdom was severely damaged, and their voice was no longer what it used to be.
Therefore, Xiao Chuo was able to overwhelm the public opinion of the hawks and advocate peace talks with Song Dynasty and redraw the boundaries.
In order to show goodwill to the Song Dynasty, Xiao Chuo even took the initiative to send envoys to the Song Dynasty to attend the funeral for Zhao Kuangyin.
The newly enthroned Zhao Dezhao's status was not stable, so he naturally did not want to have another conflict with the Liao State, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites to enthusiastically accept the Liao envoy, accept the condolences of the Liao Empress Dowager Xiao, and expressed his willingness to conduct peace talks with the Liao State and restart good-neighborly friendship.
Although Zhao Dezhao does not want to go to war with the Liao Kingdom, this does not mean that he will be weak towards the Liao Kingdom, in fact. In the negotiations with the Liao Kingdom, the conditions he offered were relatively harsh.
Except for the fact that the Liao State inherited Yanyun and belonged to the Song Dynasty, the two countries were brothers. The Song Dynasty is the elder brother, and the Liao Kingdom is the younger brother.
Although this is only in name, there is only one word difference between brothers. But he was showing the world that the Liao Kingdom finally bowed its head and admitted that it was inferior to the Song Dynasty.
The Liao envoys refused to fight in this regard and tried to gain an equal status for the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Dezhao, however, insisted on refusing to back down, claiming that if the Liao State did not agree to the conditions, there would be no more border trade.
The Liao Kingdom lost the prosperous land of Yanyun, the economy suffered heavy losses, and the people in the country were unstable. If the revenue from border trade with the Song Dynasty is lost again, it will undoubtedly make things worse for the Liao Kingdom.
In desperation, Xiao Chuo had no choice but to fully accept the conditions offered by the Song Dynasty in order to consolidate his position and heal the serious injuries suffered by Yan Yun.
After a round of negotiations, the two sides formally signed a new peace treaty in Luoyang. So far. The hostile and tense relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom came to an end for the time being.
After signing a peace treaty with the Liao people, the newly enthroned Zhao Dezhao was able to concentrate on consolidating his throne.
As one of the heroes of Zhao Dezhao's succession, Shi Wei naturally received great attention from Zhao Dezhao. Not only was he granted the title of County Marquis, but he was also promoted directly from Imperial Hospital to Zhongshu Province.
Under Shi Wei's recommendation, Fan Ruoshui, Pan Zijun and other old friends of Shi Wei were promoted several levels in succession and occupied a place among the civil servants of the new dynasty.
It goes without saying that Mu Yu was originally an upstart in the military world. Xiong Qingye, who had followed Shi Wei for many years, had been promoted three levels in a row and became a middle-level official in the Forbidden Army.
The rest, such as Pan Weide, Cao Cong and other old friends, apart from being good friends with Shi Wei, were originally the second generation generals, so they were all on the list of promotions after the new emperor ascended the throne.
However, when Shi Wei's relatives and friends all rose to high positions, Shi Wei made a decision that surprised many people.
At the beginning of spring, Shi Wei formally submitted a request to the emperor to resign.
Now that the world has been settled, the Song Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe, and Zhao Dezhao has become the emperor, Shi Wei can sit back and relax from now on. All enemies have been eliminated. Naturally, he will retreat and live his life freely.
From the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Great Song Dynasty, Shi Wei experienced so many ups and downs and intrigues, and Shi Wei was indeed a little tired.
With his character, having money to spend and beauties to accompany him, being carefree and happy is king. He spends all day in officialdom, always wondering about his opponent's thoughts and the emperor's thoughts. He is so exhausted that he is not in the mood to enjoy life.
He used to be afraid of Zhao Guangyi's revenge, but now that Zhao Dezhao has ascended the throne and the emperor is protecting him, he no longer has anyone to fear, so he can naturally retire with peace of mind.
After all, as the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. Zhao Dezhao treats him well at the moment, but if time goes by and something goes wrong accidentally, he might be left out in the cold by the emperor.
Rather than being on tenterhooks all day long, it would be better to leave while Zhao Dezhao has the best impression of him.??Real great wisdom.
Of course, Zhao Dezhao was reluctant to let him go, and said that we have overcome so many difficulties together. Now that I have ascended the throne, it is the time to share wealth and honor with you. How can you resign and leave.
Shi Wei's reason is also very simple. Just like when he first entered Zhao Dezhao's court, he claimed that he was carefree by nature and not suitable for being an official. At first, he wanted to repay Dezhao for his kindness, so he worked hard. Now that the situation has been decided, he will I want to retreat to the countryside and be a hermit who can relax and be at ease.
Zhao Dezhao was silent for a long time. Although he was reluctant to give up, he finally agreed to Shi Wei's request.
At first, Zhao Dezhao appreciated Shi Wei's talent and repeatedly wanted to recommend Shi Wei to join politics, but Shi Wei always refused. Even if Zhao Kuangyin wanted to promote him, he refused.
Seeing that Shi Wei was determined now, Zhao Dezhao no longer forced himself.
Therefore, Zhao Dezhao personally wrote a plaque reading "The First Miracle Doctor of the Song Dynasty" and gave it to Shi Wei along with 500 taels of gold, allowing him to retire in glory.
On this day, Shi Wei went to the government office to hand over the official seal. Those subordinates came to say goodbye to him one after another, not wanting to let Shi Wei leave.
Shi Wei comforted everyone, told them to do their jobs well, and then planned to resign.
At this time, the palace sent someone to say that the Empress Dowager Huarui was feeling a little unwell, and asked Shi Wei to check on the Empress Dowager before leaving office.
"Mrs. Huarui"
In Shi Wei's mind, Hua Rui's peerless voice and appearance appeared before his eyes.
Because he supported Dezhao in establishing the crown prince, after Dezhao ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Empress Dowager on Mrs. Huarui and Empress Song, and also called them the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces.
With the title of Queen Mother and Dezhao's respect and protection, Mrs. Huarui can enjoy the rest of her life with peace of mind.
Shi Wei has an unusual relationship with Mrs. Huarui. Thinking that by resigning, he might never have the chance to see her again, he took this opportunity to enter the palace and say goodbye to her.
Shi Wei temporarily took the seal official away, took the government carriage for the last time, and hurried to the palace.
Now that Mrs. Huarui has been promoted from the late emperor's concubine to the queen mother, the standards and treatment she enjoys have naturally been greatly improved.
In order to repay her, Zhao Dezhao wanted to build a new palace in the palace specifically for her to live in. However, Mrs. Huarui refused on the grounds that the country had more money and should be frugal.
Even though Mrs. Huarui sits back and relaxes, she still knows how to be a low-key person.
When he entered the Derui Immortal Palace, the maids had all retreated outside, saying that the Queen Mother was lying inside, and asked him to enter the examination room alone.
Shi Wei stepped into the empty palace, and when he heard the palace door creaking shut behind him, he suddenly felt an "ominous" premonition in his heart.
Turning around the familiar screen, Shi Wei finally saw Mrs. Huarui again.
She is still so beautiful and charming after not seeing her for a long time.
She turned her back to Shi Wei and lay lazily on her side on the brocade bed. Her slender figure with clear curves came into view clearly.
Today, she is only wearing a white thin coat, and the ice muscles and jade bones are looming underneath.
Such a fragrant figure really made Shi Wei take a breath.
Looking at her like this, it¡¯s obvious that she¡¯s not feeling well, and she¡¯s clearly trying to seduce herself.
Shi Wei did not dare to think too much, swallowed his saliva, walked inside, cupped his hands and said: "Wei Shi Wei has met the Queen Mother."
"Yuanzhi, you are here, come here quickly." Mrs. Huarui glanced back at him, with a smile in her eyes.
Shi Wei took a deep breath and slowly approached the bed. The closer he got to Mrs. Huarui, the clearer he could see her fragrant body.
"I wonder what's wrong with you?" Shi Wei put down the medicine box and asked.
"I heard that you have resigned and will be resigning today?" Mrs. Huarui did not agree and asked instead.
Shi Wei was startled for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty has already heard about this. Yes, Wei Chen is indeed preparing to hand over the official seal today, but he heard that your Majesty was feeling unwell, so he came to see her for the last time. "
"Alas~~" Mrs. Huarui sighed softly, "Whether you resign or not, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. As a minister, who can guarantee that he will gain the trust of the emperor throughout his life? It doesn't matter if he leaves the place of right and wrong."
Mrs. Huarui¡¯s faint sigh revealed Shi Wei¡¯s innermost thoughts.
Shi Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I never thought that the only person who understands the heart of a humble minister is the empress."
Mrs. Huarui opened her mouth, and Shi Wei no longer concealed his secrets.He opened his heart to her truthfully.
"I am naturally relieved that you can retreat from the rapids and be safe and sound. But now that you are gone, I am afraid that we will not be able to see each other again today, and I still feel a little bit reluctant to part with you."
Mrs. Huarui's words were full of reluctance. As she spoke, she turned around, and the towering snow peaks that could not be covered by thin clothes crashed into Shi Wei's eyes like angry waves.
Listening to those tender words and looking at the alluring beauty, Shi Wei's heart was pounding, and he had an impulse that made his blood boil.
"Empress" Shi Wei subconsciously moved closer to her, and the two were only a short distance apart.
Mrs. Huarui's eyes were full of autumn water, and her face was dimly colored. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly came close to his face and kissed him gently on the face.
Having known each other for a long time, this was the most intimate act between Mrs. Huarui and him.
Shi Wei's heart started to beat wildly. Only then did he confirm that Mrs. Huarui summoned him this time not to see a doctor, but to "memorize" her farewell.
The souvenir she wants to leave to herself is naturally her stunningly beautiful body.
Although he knew it was impossible, Shi Wei didn't know where he got the courage. Suddenly, he held Mrs. Huarui's chin and kissed her soft and moist red lips deeply. ! ~!
