Chapter three hundred and fiftieth eight tragic words
Zhao Jie's personal conquest of the Seljuk Empire was still not successful, but he was not "defeated" because of his poor plan, but was sniped by the ministers in the court and hit the critical point.
When the emperor proposed to fight in person at the court meeting, there were one-sided opposition and persuasions. Even his confidant Zhao Ren and Xu Jingheng and other ministers from the secret residence joined in. However, the emperor's intention was decided, and he had to use one person.
Their strength was to resist the ministers, and they directly conveyed orders to the prefectures and the various polities in the form of imperial decrees and oral orders, mobilized the army, and left them alone.
Wherever the emperor's decree went, the local and the army immediately acted. His tough attitude made everyone stunned and understood that the emperor's prestige had reached a point where people could blindly follow. At the same time, they also found that the emperor had prepared.
Once there is a change, he can start another system to convey his voice and intentions to every need, thus avoiding the isolation of the central system at this level and not fearing that they will confront themselves.
Everyone now figured it out. Now that the imperial power is unique, he cannot stop what he wants to do by confronting the head-on. He can only use roundabout tactics to choose the emperor's weakness and hit it with one blow. So the court officials were able to stop him from crossing the sea and personally expeditioning.
From head-on confrontation to "active" cooperation, he offered suggestions for the emperor's personal expedition, and took ideas and tried to block all possible loopholes. Zhao Jie was very pleased with the change in his attitude towards the court officials and restarted the court discussion.
The first thing the emperor needs to solve when leaving the capital is who stays behind to supervise the state and deals with the state affairs, that is, find a temporary person in charge. Some people proposed to supervise the state as the emperor. He had experience as the emperor, was familiar with the deliberation procedures, and was with the emperor.
The father and son are trustworthy. But soon someone raised objections, saying that the Emperor was old and ignored the government for many years, and his business was unfamiliar and could not take over. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the Emperor had been the Emperor, but he was
The king of the country was destroyed. He had a "bad record". He came up to do whatever he wanted, wouldn't he destroy the Song Dynasty?
Then someone mentioned the Empress Dowager, who was upright and fair in her work. She also took charge of state affairs when the throne of Jingkang year was not yet determined, and she was the best candidate for the state affairs. However, this proposal
However, the person involved, Empress Dowager Zheng, refused because she was old and unable to do so. Someone immediately suggested that the queen could supervise the country. It was reasonable for her husband to go to war with his wife to guard the family, but Zhao Qi knew that she would just write poems and essays and handle state affairs.
.So he refused on the grounds that he was sick.
In this case, some people suggested that one of the many emperors could choose a governor, but as soon as he said that, he had already been smashed into a pig's head by everyone before the emperor could speak. Isn't this purely a rebellion?
The emperor's expeditions thousands of miles away, and the dangers were well known to everyone. Once there were any problems, he would not ascend the throne to usurp the throne! This is an idea that is so bad that it cannot be more bad.
Everyone discussed and couldn't choose a suitable candidate in four or five days. Zhao Qi was anxious, but the country was in charge of the country's fate and could not be careless, so he could only hold meetings and discuss again and again. It was Li Gang who broke it.
If it is deadlocked, it is not appropriate to propose the old one, so you can only choose a small one! It is risky for him to propose this, the emperor is in his prime. If you propose to choose his heir, it is good to be prepared, but if it is bad, it is cursed by the emperor.
Have you gone but never returned?
The establishment of a crown prince has always been a headache for Zhao Qiong. He now has four sons, and the eldest son was born to the queen Zhu. According to convention and tradition, he should be made the crown prince. However, after the storm of giving way, the queen said she was sick and retreated to the second line. But everyone is the one who is willing to retreat to the second line.
Everyone knows that it was neglected because he got involved in it and angered the emperor. The other three sons were born to the imperial concubine Yelu, the virtuous concubine Zhe and the Shufei Xiao.
Xiao is the most favored and trusted by the emperor, and at the same time he is also intimate with the group of military generals of the Song Dynasty and the inner palace. The imperial concubine Yelu was born in the Liao Dynasty and had a high status, so it involves national reconciliation and stability in the northwest. Under the premise that the emperor was operating the northwest
The status has risen. Whether his son was appointed as the crown prince is naturally also eye-catching; the Zhe family was born in a family of military generals in the northwest. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, they have been guarding the northwest border defense for generations. Moreover, many famous generals in the clan have emerged in the Song Dynasty and have a certain prestige.
Most of them are officials in the court, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Selecting a reserve for the country is related to a century-old plan, so everyone is naturally striving for excellence. Unfortunately, the princes are still young, the older one is only twelve years old, and the younger one will leave. It is really hard to judge which one is a wise ruler. But this is hard to stop everyone
They analyzed the enthusiasm from the most subtle points and made judgments in order to provide the most accurate judgment to the emperor. So before they were selected, they fought first and divided into two factions: the founding of the legitimate and the founding of the wise.
The faction of the founding of the legitimate clerks thought that this had a historical tradition. Now that it is impossible to judge which prince is wise, he can only abide by the tradition and choose the eldest son. The opposing side believed that the founding of the legitimate clerks had learned from the past, and the Supreme Emperor chose the eldest son.
Zhao Huan became the crown prince, which led to the destruction of the country and the family. In the end, the second brother turned the tide and saved and revived the Song Dynasty, which led to the happy life of everyone today. Therefore, it is believed that it must not be judged that the prince was wise and wise.
Establish a eldest son to avoid harming the country.
Both sides did not give in. As soon as they went to court, they quarreled over the establishment of the legitimate and virtuous people. The memorial on the Zhao Qiong table was several feet thicker, and they both wanted to convince the emperor to agree with their own views. What was even more annoying is that the emperor was even more annoying.
It seems that this debate is difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom, and it is becoming increasingly fierce. If this continues, it will probably not be able to make a comeback in two or three years. What is even more unsettling is that everyone is involved in the debate and is deserted in state affairs. It is time for them to do so.
By the end of the year, it is a critical moment to summarize the gains and losses this year and plan the blueprint for next year!
"There is a country called Seljuk in the Western Regions. The king of the country, Sanjar, was tyrannical and unjust, and he acted against the law, gathered all countries to block our trade routes, slaughtered our people, and plundered our merchant ships... The Emperor of Song Dynasty is now in charge of heaven and eliminated evil and defended the way,
The Navy Commander of the Privy Council was appointed as the Minister of War Cheng Xishou to deploy to the thief capital, and the Deputy Chief of the Navy Ma Wei as the Deputy General, and led a thousand warships of Quanzhou Navy and 100,000 troops to fight Seljuk, and received the order
Let's sail immediately!"
On November 15th, the Emperor Zhao Qi of the Song Dynasty issued an imperial decree, granting treasure swords and formation maps, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War issued tiger talismans and lists, and the Shangshu Province issued document orders to all prefectures and vassal states. Cheng Xishou received the decree.
Later, he immediately left the hall and ordered the troops to prepare for their departure. The ministers sent him to board a boat outside Jinshui Gate and headed south to Quanzhou to lead the army. At this time, the voice of the founding crown prince disappeared, and the Ministry of Rites submitted a petition to the emperor to go out to worship his ancestors.
The Ministry sent the list of officials from all over the country to ask the emperor to issue the imperial examination. The Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, Ministry of Works, etc. all submitted a request, and the emperor was also busy...
Zhao Qiong knew that he could not leave after the voice of the founding of the crown prince. These court officials were so hard that they became sensible. The power of these people together was not to be underestimated. They quickly realized that they were the most important now.
All it takes is time. If you miss the monsoon, you have to wait for next year. Even if he is ready, it will not be possible to get from Tokyo to Quanzhou to board a boat and go to sea in a day or two, so it only takes ten days to delay it.
After half a month, he couldn't even leave.
Not to mention the emperor's personal expedition, even if he leaves Beijing for a longer period of time, he must arrange his funeral to prevent accidents. Therefore, the court officials seized the procedural problems and started playing games with Zhao Qiong, and they were meticulous and meticulous.
, You are in a hurry and can't help you. You can't punish everyone because you are too serious about doing things! And Zhao Qi also realized that even if he made a quick decision to solve the problem of Chu Jun, there would be more problems waiting for him.
Not to mention anything else, the emperor must choose a good day in his personal expedition. There are many places where he can do things. The left side of the Imperial Heaven Supervision is not suitable, and the right side of the Imperial Heaven will not be able to delay time until next year. You say you don’t believe this,
But I can't resist everyone's belief, and the army believes in this more, especially the navy. If you force your war, it will cause the morale of the soldiers to decline. If you have a slight discomfort, you will think about how to fight the war.
Zhao Qi thought it through. Although they were always looking down and were full of loyalty to the emperor, they could not play with them even if they were the emperor. Now they only used a "drag technique" and they would be in a hurry and full of mouths.
After soaking, I don’t know what other "harm tricks" are waiting for me if I continue to work! The front yard is uneasy and the back yard is also in flames. Don’t say anything about my wife, even the Empress Dowager mobilized me.
It's.
The old man invited Zhao Qi to the palace to attend classes every day to reason with him. He also gave an example that except for the Jurchens, he traveled to Jiangnan and went to Hebei, he never left Beijing. Others in the province grabbed the position, but he
It was verified when I went out these two times. Zhao Qi knew that he could only give him a few antiques and could still settle him. But the old lady was not easy to fool her. She lies in bed and said she is sick. She claims to be kind and filial. If she is sick, you will not be in front of the bed.
If she has to travel far, wouldn’t that be a great disobedience? How can she command the world, rule the ministers and educate the people in the future? She is going to punish herself in death!
Zhao Qi had no choice but to raise the white flag. He knew that no matter whether he personally fought for the battle, he would win as long as there was no major accident. He personally fought for the battle and wanted to realize his heroic dream. Think about leading thousands of warships across thousands of miles.
Wang Yang, commanding the army to advance rapidly, trapping the battle to seize the flag, capturing the enemy chief is enough to make a soldier's blood boil, and this opportunity passes by him is enough to make people feel depressed and annoyed.
But in the end reason still prevailed. Zhao Qiong understood that the ministers prevented themselves from expeditioning not only for their fame and fortune, but also for the sake of the country. Now the Song Dynasty is in a period of upward development, but the transition between the old and the new has not been completed yet.
Chapter completed!
