Chapter 8 Family Banquet
That night, a family of the old Zhao family gathered in Zhao Kuangyin's palace for a long-lost family dinner.
Then Zhao Kuangyin drank too much.
I have to say that Zhao Kuangyin is a man. Even from the perspective of Zhao Mei’s modern people, as a man, this guy is really enviable. He has almost realized all the romance that men can imagine in his limited life.
At the age of sixteen, he left home alone and traveled alone in the world. He fought all over the world with a pair of iron fists and a dragon stick. The story of sending Jingniang thousands of miles away spread all over the world and became a beautiful story. Whoever saw him could not praise him for saying "Shi Hero Zhao" or "a good man".
He joined the army in his twenties. It took only more than ten years to become the number one soldier in the world, and once Wanjun took the general's head from it.
At the age of thirty-four, seven of the first-level generals of the fourteen Imperial Guards and Jiedushi were his sworn brothers, and then his brothers rushed over and put on a yellow robe, allowing him to ascend the throne to the throne and become the emperor.
It’s simply that I don’t dare to write cool novels like this!
There is one thing that is, his wine tastes are not good, and in history, he has caused many ridiculous things because of drinking. He is not just a crazy person, or a constant chat, such as saying some truth or bragging about it.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was already drunk, and his already dark face was now stained with red, like a date, and hugged Zhao Kuangmei's shoulder and muttered:
"The third brother, good, very, very good, really worthy of being my brother. With you here, our family can be worry-free. I am very satisfied with your great contribution this time. I want to establish you... to establish you as the prince..."
Zhao Kuangmei glanced at the wine mingling helplessly and said, "Brother, you have drunk too much, you are not the emperor yet."
"So it's still a matter of any time?"
"Besides, I am your brother, not your son. You should keep this position for Zhaoer. Don't say such things, what if I take it seriously?"
But Empress Dowager Du put down her chopsticks and said, "It's good to take it seriously. Son, why did the country of Great Zhou be so easy to lose? It's because their children are too young, and Old Guo is also unlucky. The family of more than 200 people were cut off by Liu Chengyou. Even if something happened, their family didn't even have a reliable royal family, and the king of the country is Lai Changjun."
"Our family has a small population, but your two younger brothers are also capable. Don't learn from the emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties and treat the royal family harshly. You have to entrust them with important tasks so that they can help you, fight tiger brothers and fight father and son soldiers, and no one can trust them except our own family."
"Don't worry, mom, I didn't learn from the emperors of the Han and Tang Dynasties to do that stupid thing. There is no one in this world who is closer than my brothers. Could it be that for this mere authority, the second and third brothers can harm me and Zhao'er?"
"Come on, the second and third brothers, happy today, drink with me, we won't go home until we get drunk."
The chopsticks hit Zhao Kuangyin's head, and the old lady Du said angrily: "It's a bit positive! It's okay if the second child drinks some, but the third child, who is the one who is a child, can drink wine!"
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Mom, he is not a child, Han Tong asked him to do it! Hehehe, what I am most happy about today is not a yellow robe, but our Xiaomei, who finally made a fortune. He is all about to get married, drink a little."
"Marry? What kind of marriage, who will get married?"
"You, you forgot the doll on your body and kissed it? The girl from Zhang Lingduo's family."
"Didn't the meaning of a baby kiss be said after you grow up? My hair hasn't grown all over! Can't you wait for two years? No, I can't stand up even if I can't stand up!!"
"What are you waiting for? What's the use of that thing?"
As he said, he grabbed his heart-protecting hair and said, "Think, today is different from the past, we are going to be an official. Today, you didn't see that Zhang Lingduo like that, yelling loudly, saying that you are his son-in-law when you meet everyone, as if we will regret it, and even said that his daughter would get into your bed. He is probably really capable of doing this kind of thing."
“…………”
"As the saying goes, there are so many dreams in the night. Look, this matter is settled. The hair is not growing and cannot even be hard. That's nothing. Can you touch it first?"
After saying that, he saw his sister-in-law twisting hard on his back: "You've drunk too much again, so say a few less words."
"Oh, why are you pinching me? I think this matter is settled."
Zhao Kuangmei spat in her heart:
‘Aren’t you just planning to release your military power with a glass of wine? Are you just planning to use Zhang Lingduo and me as a test field? I’m gonna be a person too!”
In fact, in history, Zhao Kuangyin really didn't even want to release his military power for a glass of wine. Even his own daughter was married, and his poor niece was only eight years old! Although it is highly likely that no one would dare to marry such a real little princess and get married home,... no matter how you think about it, it's all a crime!
However, Zhao Kuangmei's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, but she said, "Brother, since I can get married... can you give me a high-ranking official?"
Zhao Kuangyin laughed at the sound of this: "You little bastard who has not even grown all the hairs, you will be an official in any way. Go to school for me."
Then Zhao Kuangmei became depressed and muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry? I don't say I'll marry my elder sister first."
Then he threw the chopsticks over with a snap, and saw the eldest sister scolding, "Zhao Laosan, if you can't speak, just close your mouth!"
"oh."
Then Zhao Kuangmei lowered her head to eat.
He can't afford to offend this elder sister. The most powerful person in the Zhao family was this elder sister. Just two days ago, she chased Zhao Kuangyin all over the street with a rolling pin. Everyone in Kaifeng City knew about this. She was famous and was known as the number one shrewd woman in Kaifeng City.
Of course, it was precisely because she made a little messy statement. She had never been able to marry again after her husband died a few years ago, and she became an old girl when she stayed at home.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded deeply, and then muttered: "It's time to get married, but who should I marry? I know she has always liked Gao Huaide, but... Lao Gao and I are friends with eight blessed people, so I can't cheat my brothers."
"Zhao Kuangyin, you're tight again, right?"
"Hmph, I am the emperor now. How dare you be rude, a woman?"
But I saw that my elder sister took out the rolling pin from nowhere: "I beat the emperor! Stop it!"
Then the two siblings began to mess around in the yard of the hall. The guards standing guard at the door glanced at them, and then immediately looked elsewhere without looking.
Seeing this, Zhao Kuangmei silently lowered her head to eat the food, and by the way, she murmured a minute of silence for her future brother-in-law.
Zhao Kuangyi smiled and poured a glass of orange juice for Zhao Kuangmei and said, "Third brother, just drink this one."
"Thank you, second brother. By the way, second brother, Kaifeng is now newly established, but you must know the second brother's military discipline of the Imperial Guard. You know the elder brother's character, I know, everyone in the world knows it. I originally agreed to take money from the treasury to reward the three armies after ascending the throne. Now I have to wait three times to ask for and three times, and it will naturally delay the promise of the soldiers. It is difficult to guarantee that no one will feel resentful. Although it is impossible to cause any major disaster, no one will harasse or even rob the people."
Zhao Kuangyi nodded deeply when he heard this: "It's true, this is a problem."
"The elder brother was only supported by the people. Moreover, Kaifeng City is our Kaifeng City now, and the Kaifeng people are already our people. If they are harassed by the rioters at this time, the elder brother's reputation will be damaged. He has never been able to hold his face and can't do anything to his own people. In any case, someone in our family must sing a sing of a black face. The second brother is now the prefect of Kaifeng, and it is just right to take care of this matter. What do you think?"
Zhao Kuangyi nodded deeply: "Third brother said yes, this is really the most suitable thing for me to do."
