Chapter 61 If you don't die, you won't die

Zhao Weiji still remembers that he watched a movie called "Party A and Party B" in his previous life. In the movie, there was a very popular star named Tang Lijun. She was very red and could be described as red and purple.

Although she is a celebrity and enjoys all the glory and wealth that celebrity brings, she is also troubled by the celebrity effect. She must wear sunglasses and accompany her bodyguard when going out. Countless fans are watching wherever she goes.

Endless announcements were coming. Finally one day, she met the protagonist in the play, a group of people who help people realize their dreams.

She asked the protagonists to help her quit the entertainment industry and realize her dream of living a mortal life. Things went smoothly, and she successfully realized her dream and became a mortal. But what she didn't expect was that when her celebrity halo disappeared, she

The glory and wealth around her also disappeared. What she didn't expect was that she gradually became unable to endure this lonely life. But when she wanted to come back, it was no longer possible.

Of course, this is just a movie, but it taught Zhao Weiji a truth: once a person in a high position falls into the mortal world one day, not everyone can bear this gap.

When Zhao Weiji learned that Zhao Yuanxi had finally succeeded in finding Mi Xin to cooperate, the name Tang Lijun suddenly popped into Zhao Weiji's mind.

To say that this Mi Xin is also a figure, he has been serving in the army since the time of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, and later passed through Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, if you include Emperor Chai Zongxun of Later Zhou Dynasty,

The whole 15th dynasty elders.

Of course, his qualifications are very old, and his achievements are not bad. He fought and won battles with the four emperors of Yanjing, and he reached the highest level of Jiedu Envoy.

But in recent years, his voice in the army has slowly decreased. In addition to the unexpected decrease in military exploits in recent wars, there is also the rise of newcomers. The most important thing is that the emperor really doesn't like Mi Xin very much. Mi Xin is arbitrary.

He acted recklessly and disobeyed the law, and was very mean when giving banquets to reward soldiers. When he once bought silk for himself, he lied to the official in charge of tax calculations and claimed that it was a government purchase to avoid customs duties. In short, he did many things that made people angry. Therefore, the emperor also consciously sent Mi Xin

Stand aside and let his rights be reduced to reduce the possibility of him doing evil.

But Mi Xin really can't bear this kind of life of standing aside. The reduction of rights makes Mi Xin, who is used to enjoying the benefits that rights bring, a little overwhelmed. He really wants to go back to the life where he could use power for personal gain and abuse his power.

So when Zhao Yuanxi came to the door, Mi Xin agreed without saying a word, and even Mi Xin's understanding was deviated. Zhao Yuanxi just wanted to find someone who could support him in the military. To put it bluntly, you can help me.

Support me on the platform, and I will use you to attract more support.

But Mi Xin misunderstood. He thought that the prince wanted to stage a coup, and he needed Mi Xin to gather a group of people in the military to help him succeed in the coup. So Mi Xin began to act without authorization. He used his position in the military to

The remaining influence really gathered a group of people.

Then a whole set of coup plans were formulated. Because Mi Xin had participated in Chen Qiaoyi's yellow robe, he was familiar with coups.

But Zhao Yuanxi didn't know all this. After he contacted Mi Xin, he started his next plan. At this moment, he was preparing to contact a group of people under the banner of Mi Xin.

"Zhao Weiji wants to take a concubine? He is living a comfortable life. Let him wait until I get Zhao Heng down and turn over before I deal with you." Just when Zhao Yuanxi was still having a sweet dream, Mi Xin sent someone to deliver it.

A message.

"Everything is ready. For the Winter Solstice operation in one month's time, the prince will only need to open the gate of Bianjing City."

What does this mean? Zhao Yuanxi was completely confused. What action? What does opening the city gate mean? Just when Zhao Yuanxi was confused, his staff came up with an idea.

"Is it possible that Mi Xin interpreted the prince's wooing as a coup?"

When Zhao Yuanxi heard this idea, he was paralyzed with fear. This Mi Xin must be mentally ill. I only went to him to carry the banner because I couldn't find a powerful minister to support me. When did I say that?

There's going to be a coup.

In fact, we can't blame Mi Xin. Mi Xin himself is illiterate. Although he is a "veteran of the Five Dynasties", he has never had much interaction with people in the officialdom. How did he know that there are so many things in the officialdom. Apart from fighting,

, the only political struggle he knows is Chen Qiaoyi.

Of course, when Zhao Yuanxi's staff knew the news, Zhao Weiji's team also knew it.

"It seems that Mi Xin can carry out our plan better than our people." Regarding Mi Xin, Zhao Weiji could only come to this conclusion.

Because there was a slight deviation when the plan started to be implemented. Although Zhao Yuanxi was so desperate that he had no choice but to choose a way out, he was still more cowardly than Zhao Weiji believed.

However, unexpectedly, Mi Xin took the initiative and implemented the coup plan, but ended up putting the plan on the right track.

When the matter reached this point, it was no longer under Zhao Weiji's control. He could only let nature take its course and let their spies lurking in Zhao Yuanxi's place evacuate as soon as possible. The rest was up to Mi Xin's performance.

After everything was done, Zhao Weiji had to get busy with his wedding to Li Nian.

Since he was not marrying his wife, the ceremony was a little briefer, but it was still very troublesome. Zhao Weiji was still very tired after completing all the ceremonies.

"I will never come here for a third time. I'm too tired." At this time, Zhao Weiji lay on his back on the bed, breathing heavily.

"Do you want to come here a third time?" Li Nian, who was also very tired, sat next to Zhao Weiji.

"Okay, I was wrong. Just the two of you will be fine." Zhao Weiji was about to get up and hug Li Nian, but was interrupted by a sentence coming from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Second Madam, come out quickly. The matter is not over yet. The Second Madam has to serve tea to Madam, and you still have to entertain guests."

As a result, the two of them could only hold on to their tired bodies and continue talking about the wedding.

When Li Nian served Chai Yu tea, Chai Yu didn't show any discomfort, and even Chai Yu's face showed a hint of relief. Li Nian has lived with her for so many years, although from today on she will have to

She shared the same man with her, but she also understood that this was how it should be. So she happily accepted Li Nianjing's tea.

After I served tea to my wife, I had to go back to the bridal chamber to wait, but Zhao Weiji was miserable. The banquet officially begins now, let’s start drinking.

This dinner was even worse for Zhao Weiji than last time. The last time he drank was only the wine brewed by the original brewing method of the Song Dynasty, and the alcohol content was not too high. But this time, all he drank was the alcohol brewed by the distillation method.

Liquor. The result is...

Early the next morning, Chai Yu ran to the wedding room, hoping to block the newlyweds on the bed as soon as possible, but he did not expect that Li Nian came out first with a sad face.

"Sister Yu..."

"What's wrong? Did he bully you?" Chai Yu was puzzled when he saw Li Nian's expression.

"No, Uncle Xin forced him into the bridal chamber at night. When he came back, he was as motionless as a dead pig. He is still sleeping now."

When Chai Yu heard this, he almost burst into laughter. Although Zhao Weiji drank too much the last time they had their wedding, he could at least still have the wedding. Now, the remaining trace of melancholy in Chai Yu's heart was gone.

"Okay, let him sleep. Didn't you see how miserable he was last night? Your brother is really ruthless. He hasn't been able to drink much for several years. Your brother has to bear most of the responsibility for him being so drunk. But your brother also

It’s not that good, I guess I don’t know which guest room I’ll sleep in now.”

"Oh~~~."

"Okay, it's okay to come to the wedding tonight. Let's go and have something to eat first."



Although Zhao Weiji failed to get married, he still got a new wife. Zhao Yuanxi over there was completely panicked because he found that one of his most important aides had disappeared.

The consequence of this person's disappearance was that Zhao Yuanxi completely lost the person who came up with the idea. In desperation, he could only take great risks to find Zhao Pu.

One night at midnight, Zhao Yuanxi braved the heavy snow and knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although Zhao Pu was very dissatisfied that Zhao Yuanxi came to see him at this time, after hearing Zhao Yuanxi's intention, Zhao Pu couldn't help but be satisfied.

Because Zhao Yuanxi gave Mi Xin's letter to Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu knew that Mi Xin's coup was basically unlikely to succeed. However, after Mi Xin's coup was crushed, Zhao Yuanxi would suffer at the same time that he, Zhao Pu, would not have an easy time either.

"What should we do, Mr. Xiang?"

"Let me think about it, what are you doing? Even if you are desperate, you can't reach out to the military, and you still want to stage a coup? Do you know Chen Qiaoyi? The general leader of Chen Qiaoyi is now

The steward of your father."

"No, I am not preparing for a high-level coup. I just hope that Mi Xin can carry the banner for me in the military."

"That won't work either. The military is an area that you must never touch. It's not like you don't know your father's attitude towards the military."

"It's useless to say so much now, what should we do now?"

"The only thing we can do now is that before the winter solstice, you take the initiative to surrender to the officials, tell them all your original purpose, and then ask the officials to prepare for Mi Xin in advance. In this way, you may still be saved."

Zhao Yuanxi had no choice but to follow Zhao Pu's method.

"You, you, you...cough, cough, cough." When Zhao Yuanxi confessed to Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi was already so angry that he could not speak.

"I don't want to say anything more to you. When will Mi Xin come?"

"Winter Solstice Day."

"Okay, I understand, get out of here." After saying this, Zhao Guangyi seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and then he didn't say another word.

Seeing his father fall into complete silence, Zhao Yuanxi knew that he was completely hopeless this time, so he did not dare to say another word and left the palace in despair.
