The fourth prince asked, "You also called someone over? Who was it?"
Yan Shiyue said, "A disaster victim." Then she asked him to come in.
When the young man came in, his eyes were still a little wary, until he saw that it was indeed them, he relaxed, bowed respectfully, and said: "I am Zhao Kuangyin, the humble servant, paying my respects to Your Highness and all the gentlemen."
Yan Shiyue spat out a mouthful of tea and choked and coughed: "What did you say your name was?"
The young man said blankly: "My surname is Zhao and my name is Kuangyin."
Yan Shiyue asked: "What's the word?"
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I haven't chosen a name yet."
She asked, "What's your nickname? Isn't it Xianghaier?"
Zhao Kuangyin was shocked: "How did Your Highness know?"
Yan Shiyue could barely hide the collapse on her face.
...
...
When it came to Chen Daliang and Zhou Zhonglang, she didn't feel deeply about it, after all, it wasn't known to everyone.
But he is Zhao Kuangyin!
Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin! ! Have you heard of the Chenqiao Mutiny? Have you heard of the giving up of military power over a cup of wine? He was crowned with a yellow robe without a single drop of blood, ended the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and unified the country! A wise ruler with great talent and strategy, the greatest emperor of all time!
Yan Shiyue pinched her palm and deliberately asked, "Are you from Bianzhou?"
"No, I am from Youzhou."
Really from Youzhou! Yan Shiyue nodded and asked, "Then why are you in Bianzhou?"
Although Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why the nobles were interested in this, he still answered respectfully: "My father passed away, so I went to Bianzhou with my mother to visit my relatives..."
She gradually calmed down as he told her story.
Heroes emerge in troubled times. Every hero or leader needs the right time, place and people to succeed.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's father was just a small military general who had died. He and his mother went to live with his uncle Du Ping in Bianzhou. Du Ping was the chief yamen officer in a remote county under the jurisdiction of Bianzhou, and his life was not good.
Zhao Kuangyin simply joined the army, but the poor and bad mountains and rivers produced unruly people, and the army was half official and half bandit, and was not very serious.
When the flood happened, they were preparing to go out of town to hunt. When they encountered the flood, he desperately returned home and finally found his mother, but his uncle and aunt had already abandoned his mother and fled.
He protected his mother all the way to the capital.
Yan Shiyue asked: "Is your mother outside?"
Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Yes."
She asked again: "Do you have anything to say about what happened today?"
Zhao Kuangyin said without hesitation: "Those few people are clearly the thief crying thief! Qian Dazhu, Li Cheng..." He mentioned several people in succession: "These people are clearly in the same group. They have been running around everywhere, chatting and making friends with people. They don't say it openly, but they are saying things in a roundabout way, leading everyone to scold Your Highness!"
He learned a few sentences and said, "Qian Dazhu was the one who cursed first. He is the leader!"
Yan Shiyue asked a few more questions, and then said: "I see that you are very smart, and you have a connection with us. Are you willing to stay in the capital?"
Zhao Kuangyin was pleasantly surprised and said, "Yes! I am willing!"
She nodded and said, "Then how about I give you a word?"
Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled, but he still kowtowed and responded: "Your Highness, please speak."
"Fu Bi. From now on, your name will be Fu Bi."
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the gift of calligraphy."
Yan Shiyue nodded slowly.
A few days ago, because of the Qin Tianjian incident, she studied the ancients' theory of stargazing. Zuo Fu You Bi is a metaphor for left and right assistants, mostly referring to assisting the king. Zuo Fu is "bright" and You Bi is "hidden".
Maybe he is selfish, but this is a prosperous time and the emperor is a wise ruler. No matter how talented he is, he can only be used by the emperor.
How does the saying go, if you are a dragon you have to coil up for me, if you are a tiger you have to lie down for me! Forget about Yuen Long or something like that, Fu Bi is good enough!
Yan Shiyue pointed to the side and said, "This is Lord Jinrong. You will be his personal soldier first." She took out a hundred taels of silver from her bosom and said, "Bring your mother here and find a place to settle her. I will ask someone to take you there, Jiahe!"
Huo Qijing said, "I'll ask someone to take him there." He then called two of his personal soldiers to take him there.
Zhao Kuangyin has already explained everything very clearly, so it will be easier to interrogate him.
Those people thought that they were brought here just to be questioned and maybe rewarded, but they didn't expect to be arrested directly.
The Fourth Prince asked his men to interrogate the suspect, and then they returned to the palace to see Emperor Mingyan.
Usually, Yan Shiyue was the boss in this kind of thing, and she would talk about it all in one breath, but this time the Fourth Prince made a rare addition... because as a bystander, that scene was really amazing.
Emperor Ming Yan nodded.
It's quite satisfactory that the matter can be resolved in this way.
Emperor Mingyan asked, "Who is that Zhao Kuangyin? Why did you take him in?"
Yan Shiyue knew they would definitely ask, and had already thought of what to say, so he said: "I don't know if you will believe me, but I dreamed of him... This person in my dream said his name was Zhao Kuangyin, from Youzhou, and asked me to call him Xianghaier, but before I finished the dream, Fourth Brother came to knock on the window."
The innocent fourth prince: "..."
He said speechlessly: "Even if you dreamed about it, are you so surprised?"
"The person I dreamed of suddenly appeared before my eyes. Isn't that surprising?"
Yan Shiyue said embarrassedly: "Mainly, I was thinking, is it not good for me to dream about a stranger? So I put him under A Jing. I think this person will be very powerful in the future."
The fourth prince glared at her and said, "Father, I think we should get them married as soon as possible! Otherwise she will have a wet dream!"
Emperor Ming Yan scolded him unceremoniously: "Shut up! This is what you, as a brother, should say!"
Yan Shiyue said: "That's it!"
Emperor Ming Yan turned around and lectured her again: "Don't talk back!"
After mediating the dispute between the three-year-old children, Emperor Ming Yan said, "At night, quietly bring those people here for secret interrogation. I'm afraid it's a big deal, so don't alarm anyone."
The fourth prince agreed.
The two of them took their leave, and Yan Shiyue returned to the mansion. Huo Qijing was waiting in the mansion. After sending the people away, he asked her, "What happened to Zhao Kuangyin?"
Yan Shiyue repeated what she had just said, and then whispered in his ear, "At that time, he was wearing a bright yellow flag."
Huo Qijing's expression changed slightly, and he signaled with his eyes: "You..." Have you told the emperor?
She also answered with her eyes: "..."No.
If she had said that, Zhao Kuangyin would probably have died. Even if he was very powerful, he would not have gone back to his previous path without the soil for growth. There was no need to do that.
She said, "I'll give it to you. This person should be quite powerful."
Huo Qijing nodded.
Although the disaster situation has not eased, Yan Shiyue is in a good mood because he went out today and completely reversed public opinion.
The two had lunch together before going their separate ways.
Yan Shiyue was woken up by the Fourth Prince before dawn and slept through a nap that lasted until night.
Before she had dinner, she was called into the palace by Emperor Ming Yan. Yan Shiyue was still groggy from sleep and thought that he was going to talk about those people, but the first sentence of Emperor Ming Yan stunned her.
