To understand why Zhao Guangyi was brave enough to challenge Zhao Kuangyin, it has to start more than a year ago.

At that time, a bribery case of King Jin that shocked the world was happening. Zhao Kuangyin finally got angry and hit Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu's heads respectively. The original intention was to make both of them be more honest.

But in the end, I have to say that things went against my wishes. Let’s talk about Zhao Pu first. The central government office of the Zhengshi Hall was turned into a one-man sect. The two assistant officials had to check and balance him, but they were asked to do it like an assistant. If he was not there, no one would hold a meeting. The original Privy Council of the military and national important places was indeed a good person. Although the tea was not cold, the new Privy Council Li Chongju and Zhao Pu had a good relationship with him. They almost wore a pair of pants. Zhao Pu listened to whatever he said, without any opinion at all. The most cruel thing was that he actually had children and relatives with Zhao Pu.

He monopolized the Political Affairs Hall with one word and held the Privy Council with one hand. He had the final say in both military and political aspects. This was already a standard powerful minister. Compared with Wang Jun back then, even Zhao Kuangyin had to take into account his opinions if he wanted to do something.

Let’s talk about Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Kuangyin took away his position as the Secretary of the Secretariat, but his position did not decline but rose, because before Zhao Kuangyin conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi stayed behind the prison. The war lasted for more than half a year. When Zhao Kuangyin came back, many things were directly changed, especially this person’s infiltration into the new army, and Chu Zhaofu, who was in charge of the Third Division, surrendered to him. He is now much more awesome than when he was the Secretary of the Secretariat before.

The rights of the world are fixed, and there is a total number. The rights of Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi have increased very much. Whose rights have become smaller? Obviously, it is Zhao Kuangyin himself.

A situation that has never been seen in the history of five thousand years has happened, that is, the emperor's prestige is increasing day by day, but the real power is getting smaller and smaller. Looking through history books, this phenomenon is still unique.

In less than ten years, Zhao Kuangyin first destroyed Jinghu and then Houshu, and swept south and Han to attack Khitan in the north. Even the clouds in Yanyun were taken back. He swept away the tragic situation of the Han people being bullied since the end of the Tang Dynasty. The momentum of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was achieved, but the people had almost no burden. Whether it was the people's expectations, officials' expectations or military expectations, they had reached the peak of all emperors since the end of the Tang Dynasty. If everything went well, after he took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the three words Zhao Kuangyin would definitely be compared with the eternal emperor Li Shimin.

But his real power is getting smaller and smaller.

It's very strange, but it's the truth, because Zhao Kuangyin has two fatal weaknesses in his personality: nostalgia and benevolence.

Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu have taken over power to this point. To be honest, this is no longer his right-hand man, but his enemy in the right sense. Not to mention that the crown prince is not the crown prince, even if the real prince is so powerful, there are few fathers who can tolerate it, except for Li Longji.

But then again, in this current political situation, apart from the unparalleled prestige that Zhao Kuangyin himself possesses, how much better he is than Li Dan? Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu have become more and more like Li Longji and Princess Taiping in the Tang Dynasty.

If you compare it with Zhu Yuanzhang, you will find that almost all of Zhao Kuangyin's ability indicators are far above him. Whether it is to command troops or govern the country, even the means of controlling the subordinates are much better than him. However, the Ming Dynasty is more stable than the Song Dynasty. Even if the ancestor family rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang are full of loopholes in particular, the economic part (I only say economically, Ming fans should not criticize me) caused his descendants to suffer and had no comparison with the Song Dynasty. But they are very clear that they have indeed insisted on the national destiny for nearly three hundred years. Are they not convinced?

I have to admit the fact that a founding king should be the crueler, the better, and the country should be the more people killed, the more stable it is. Perhaps as a human being, many of Zhu Yuanzhang's practices are not good, but as a founding king, he is better than Zhao Kuangyin!

It can be said that with Zhao Kuangyin's prestige at this time, he really killed whoever he wanted and killed whatever he wanted. He could not do anything that Zhu Yuanzhang could do. Facing two goods that were obviously too big to lose and even compete with him, there was nothing better than killing them first.

But Zhao Kuangyin just didn't kill, because one of these two people was his younger brother, and the other was his confidant and good brother who had been along the way. Not to mention them, Zhao Kuangyin had almost never killed anyone except the enemy after becoming emperor. It is certain that this guy really doesn't like to kill people.

History has proved that he paid a great price for this. For example, his two cups of wine released military power in essence created a large number of large landlords, making the problem of land annexation in the Song Dynasty much faster than other dynasties. In the end, all of these large landlords could not be lost. Even the formation of the later generals had a great relationship with this. If he had been killed directly at that time, there would not be so many things to do later.

For example, the original disputes between virtue and danger in history, even the sound of candles and axes.

Looking back at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin just wanted to deal with the three issues of the government orders in a more gentle way. It is certain that he had never had the idea of ​​killing people.

Then, he was criticized by Zhao Guangyi.

It hurts like a lung tube.

He was full of hope that his good brother Zhao Pu could stand up and help him fight against this disobedient brother, just as the two goods have been doing, but he was disappointed, and Zhao Pu did not react at all in any way.

A very ruthless reality. As Sun Chunming works better and better, the difficulty of moving the capital is getting lower and lower, and Zhao Kuangyin's meaning is getting brighter and clearer day by day. In terms of moving the capital, Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi's interests are almost the same. Moving the capital will certainly cost Zhao Guangyi most of his life, but for Zhao Pu, it is actually not a good thing.

Because moving the capital will inevitably face a political reshuffle. The old forces must give way to the new forces. This is also the best way for the emperors of all dynasties to get rid of the old forces. For example, Wu Zetian, one move to move the capital and directly cut off the Li Tang forces in half. Will Zhao Pu still be as glorious as he is now?

Surely not. Zhao Kuangyin just didn't want to kill him, and he didn't want to deal with him. He really wanted to borrow the capital and put the two of them together.

So Zhao Pu smartly chose to remain silent, say nothing, and do nothing. Who made the Sun family's father and son really have a handle this time? To a certain extent, Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi were confronting him together.

This ruthless reality made Zhao Kuangyin, who had always been very concerned about feelings, a little confused.

He sat blankly in the Long Live Hall and said to almost the only person beside him who could trust: "Qianjun, do you think this emperor is all alone?"
