Guo Shao praised Zhao Kuangyi, but no one agreed with him, and no one paid attention to him. Zhao Kuangyi looked disappointed and gloomy, probably because he was ignored by people, and he was not even given the minimum respect. Only Guo Shao praised him, and he gave him a good look, but Guo Shao was just pretending to be nice to Zhao Kuangyi, and of course he didn't really think Zhao Kuangyi was talented, because he didn't even hear clearly what poem he wrote.
Somehow, this was the first time Guo Shao met Zhao Kuangyi, and he inexplicably disliked him; he didn't have this feeling when he met Zhao Kuangyin in Gaoping before. Maybe it was out of intuition, or maybe the history books in his previous life gave Guo Shao foresight.
Zhao Kuangyi should be the later Emperor Taizong of Song. Zhao Kuangyi was the third son and Zhao Kuangyin was the second son, but the eldest brother died early. Zhao Kuangyi was the one who emphasized culture over military power to the extreme; perhaps because his achievements and prestige were not enough, his approach of weakening and suppressing military generals was even worse than that of Zhao Kuangyin, who gave up military power with a cup of wine.
Guo Shao himself was a military commander, and he did not think that life would be easy if Zhao Kuangyi was the emperor in the future. He also vaguely remembered that Zhao Kuangyi later tried to fight against the Khitan in the north, but he lost all the veterans and generals left by the Zhou Dynasty. Everyone died. Thinking that he might be blindly commanded to die in the future, Guo Shao certainly felt bad.
So he couldn't like this Zhao San.
The Xiang Xun family’s banquet is still going on, and the overall atmosphere is very joyful.
Zhao Kuangyin and his group called each other brothers and urged each other to drink. When Zhao Kuangyin was half drunk, he was so excited that he and a general named Li Jixun were so close that they wanted to wear the same pants.
The drinking lasted from noon to evening, and after two meals, most of the people left. Zhao San wanted to take Zhao Kuangyin home, but Zhao Kuangyin was talking to Li Jixun about their brotherly love and they were inseparable, so he planned to go to Li Jixun's house to continue drinking, and then have a candlelight night talk.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin had forgotten what he had said in Gaoping. He had originally said that he would have a good chat with Guo Shao over a drink after returning to Tokyo; but Guo Shao was obviously not an important person. Compared with Li Jixun's words, Li Jixun seemed to be the person with the highest position among the ten brothers of Yishe.
Zhao San had no choice but to let his brother go and go home by himself.
Zhao San was only sixteen or seventeen years old, so he did not split up and lived with his brother Zhao Kuangyin. When he got home, he ran into his sister-in-law He, who asked him why his second brother hadn't come back. Zhao San answered truthfully: his second brother had gone to General Li Jixun's house and might not come home tonight.
He did not dare to ask any more questions. This woman was usually virtuous and kind, but she was a little weak in character.
Her family was not a rich family, and her father was just a low-ranking officer. Of course, when Zhao Kuangyin's father proposed marriage, the Zhao family was also a good match. But gradually, Zhao Kuangyin was promoted to the rank of palace guard, which was fundamentally different from his original class. He was weak, so she gave in to the Zhao family in every way, especially in front of the old lady, she was more filial than her own daughter. How could she dare to stop her husband from staying out all night
The Palace Guards was not an army but a system, an institution on a par with the Emperor's personal guards. The position Zhao Kuangyin was about to be promoted to was already among the highest-ranking military commanders in the country, a very important position.
When the third brother, Zhao Kuangyi, thought of his brother and saw the weak and thin sister-in-law in front of him, he couldn't help but recall the scene he had secretly seen that he loved the most: a tall and strong black man was pressing down on a thin and white girl and tossing her hard.
Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Zhao San was inexplicably excited just thinking about it. A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but fortunately he tried hard to hold it back, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.
Now that He was in front of him, and his second brother was not around, Zhao San was overwhelmed by an unspeakable desire and could not extricate himself.
Zhao San has an uncontrollable love for his brother's things, especially the important things that his brother cares about.
Since he was born, Zhao San has found that his brother has been praised by everyone. Wherever his brother goes, he can inspire people around him to respect him, but Zhao San is always ignored. Zhao San admires and respects his brother, but at the same time he thinks that anything from his brother is good and special.
If He Shi was not his brother's wife, and she was not pretty, Zhao San would definitely not have the slightest interest in her. But she was his brother's woman.
Zhao San knew that it was not right to think like this, and it was not polite. There was no need to think about this kind of thing, it was obviously very risky and costly. But Zhao San was already in that inexplicable excitement and couldn't extricate himself. He was very scared, afraid that the matter would be exposed, but the more scared he was, the more he wanted to do it. Even if he didn't put it into practice, it would be wonderful to imagine the process of the plan.
After thinking it over, at least at this moment he thought it was perfect.
He remained calm and decided to put it into practice with a nervous mood. He was so uneasy and scared, but the feeling of his heart beating faster was so wonderful.
I came back because I was afraid that my family would worry about us brothers, so I went home to tell them. My eldest brother is at General Li Jixun's house; I also met an old classmate at the banquet, and we met again. I have to go there tonight, and my sister-in-law will tell my mother later. Zhao San said.
He said: Third brother is still young, don't drink too much. She can care about her family, but she can't control them.
Zhao San nodded, then turned around and went out.
This house is Zhao San's home. He is so familiar with his home that he is familiar with every blade of grass and every wall.
Zhao San found a lower wall behind the house. His fat body became very agile because of his excitement, and he easily sneaked into his yard. While it was not too late and his sister-in-law had not returned to her room, he planned to sneak into her bedroom and hide there, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Although he was excited, he still felt uneasy. Zhao San thought again: I said I was going out, and no one would ask if I was not in the room at night. I would sneak back without anyone noticing. When my sister-in-law returns to her room, she will definitely lock the door. If I hide in her bedroom first, I will save the trouble of breaking into the room and will not make any noise.
Zhao San felt that he was too wise and clever for a moment.
