Chapter 321 Farce
If some people in the past thought it was just rumors and some people were lucky, the emperor would come out to refute the rumors sooner or later. But now Zhao Zhen made a clear attitude in the court discussion, that would be not just a joke
Yes, although the final decision was made because of the Censor Chen Dong's advice to the death, it was enough to show that the emperor had the intention to give way. In addition, the peace talks with Jin were in "gaochao", which was clearly done.
Aftermath work!
As soon as the news in the court discussion came out, it was like sprinkling salt in a oil pan, triggering another round of royalist storm. If the one in front could be called a typhoon, then the hurricane is blowing now.
If the business community and Tai students can be called the main force, then the farmers played a role in promoting this time. The Fourth Road of Gyeonggi started the attack first. The elderly from all states, counties and villages formed a petition group to go to Beijing to petition, begging the emperor not to abdicate.
Then the wind began to spread to the two rivers and the east of the river. Private petition groups embarked on the road to enter Beijing to petition, while the south was relatively calm. In fact, this is easy to understand. The two rivers and the Gyeonggi area were the hardest hit areas during the Jin army's invasion during the Jingkang period.
, property and population losses were huge. If Zhao Jie had not sent troops to retake it, more people would have been captured to the Northeast as slaves. Therefore, the people here hated Zhao Huan, but were grateful to Zhao Jie.
Not to mention Hedong and northwest regions, which was the base area where Zhao Jie had been operating for many years, and he devoted a lot of effort to it. He not only expelled Xixia, recovered Lingxia prefectures, brought peace to the northwest, but also used troops twice.
The anti-Jin period prevented most areas of Hedong from war. And with its efforts, a large amount of money was invested to transform the barren land into fertile fields, pastures, mines, and handicrafts, which greatly improved people's livelihood.
Of course they would not forget this young prince who became emperor.
But another highlight of this movement was that both the court, the prefectures and the army that the emperor trusted the most did not speak out, but did their own duties and strive to maintain the order of the land and maintain the state machine.
Normal operation. As one of the initiators, Tai students seemed to have restrained their emotions a lot and no longer engaged in large-scale parades, but they did not give up their efforts and still actively publicize the emperor's civil and military achievements and the achievements made by the Song Dynasty over the years
Of course, when you are excited, you will inevitably be disrespectful to Emperor Jingkang in your words...
But under the seemingly calm water, there were turbulent waves. The envoys of the custody department in various places were secretly ordered by the Privy Council to raise their vigilance, cancel their leave, and closely monitor the government and civil movements of their jurisdiction. Once there are signs of "reversing the emperor".
But the attack was taken first and then reported and severely suppressed immediately, and there was no mercy. Zhao Yong also received an order to accelerate the withdrawal of troops from Goryeo to the base to strengthen the defense force in the Gyeonggi area. Mingzhou, Haizhou, Quanzhou Navy was also authorized once Gyeonggi
If there is any problem, they can send a fleet into the Yangtze River to take over the defense of the coastal prefectures and control the southeastern region.
Needless to ask, these measures were all taken by Zhao Ren and several military leaders in Beijing, and the instructor must be the emperor. Zhao Qiong knew very well that if he wanted to rebel in all dynasties and even later generations, he had to master the gun. Without the support of the army, he would be
No matter how talented a group of scholars is, no matter how talented a group of soldiers holding swords and guns, he dared to deal with this crisis with retreat to advance, and he publicly stated his position at the court meeting, but he was not worried that his throne would not be guaranteed.
, Confidence comes from his army that is loyal to himself.
Since the establishment of the army in Beifu more than 20 years ago, Zhao Qiong has taken command and control of the army in his own hands. This is also his own land, and no one can penetrate it. Although so many years have passed, then
Some of the veterans who fought with him died on the battlefield, some retired due to injuries, and some returned to the field, but those who were retained were all elites. Now the officers above the army commander can be said to be the old team he brought out. Loyalty is absolutely not necessary
Doubt.
Afterwards, both the officers trained through military academy and the newly enlisted soldiers maintained the tradition and received ideological education on loyalty to the king and defending the country. Therefore, the army went from the Privy Councilor above to the ordinary soldiers below. In their hearts, the emperor was the army.
The only commander. No one else wants to interfere with or interfere in the affairs of the army. This also ensures that Zhao Qiong's orders will be implemented unconditionally by the army. If you want to rebel, you have to see whether they agree or not. It can be said that the army is Zhao Qiong
No one can shake the Dinghai Shen Needle inserted in the Song Dynasty.
With the support of the army, Zhao Qiong was not afraid of someone making trouble in this storm. As long as he was willing, he could send troops to quell the turmoil at any time. But he still ranked the use of force in all options for political reasons.
After that, he looked righteous in front of others, but made various arrangements in secret, playing conspiracies, one thing openly, and another thing in secret. But he always paid attention to
The changes in the situation control the overall situation and wait for the most favorable opportunity to take action.
While Zhao Qi was preparing to dispatch troops and generals, Jianxi and Li Jun made progress in pursuing the mastermind behind the scenes. The source of the rumor of "giving up" was indeed from the eunuch in the palace, but the result was a bit confusing.
Hilarious and cry...
After further investigation by Jianxi, when the Emperor Taishang entered the palace to question the crime, all the little yellow gates who were exposed to this matter did not have the opportunity to listen closely, and they had never been to the tavern outside Donghua Gate, let alone mentioned it to others.
Just as the investigation was once again at the dead end, Jianxi suddenly remembered that there were not only eunuchs in the Grand Palace and in the palaces of the Princes, and there would definitely be eunuchs accompanying the Emperor when he entered the palace.
Jianxi, who had a new idea, immediately expanded the scope of the investigation and focused on the eunuchs who followed the Supreme Emperor into the palace, and he made a breakthrough soon.
Using eunuchs is a royal privilege. If anyone else wants to use it, it is Yu Yue. The crime of ill-intentioned plots is the least. In addition to Da Nei, some royal princes also use eunuchs, but they do not have the right to recruit or hire privately.
The eunuchs he used were all uniformly arranged by the Da Nei, so it was very convenient for the chief supervisor to investigate when he saw Xi. Soon his eyes fell on the day when he accompanied the Emperor to the palace. He secretly called Sun Qi.
He conducted an investigation.
The investigation shows that Sun Qi entered the palace at the age of twelve and stayed in Dawei for several years. There was nothing surprising. Later, he was assigned to Jinglong Palace to serve the Empress Dowager, but he was quickly appreciated by the Emperor because he had
The same skill as Gao Qiu - Cuju. Because it quickly became famous, although the Supreme Emperor lost his power, he was famous and it was very respectful to make friends with him. Zhao Ji is also a fun person, and he is not short of money, so he is by his side.
Naturally, some idle people gathered together to eat and drink.
There are no people who are competing with the power in the world. When these idle people saw that Sun Qi was favored, they fought to curry favor with him, saying that if he had been born twenty years earlier and caught up with the Emperor in power, his skills would have surpassed that Gao Qiu, and he would have
A high-ranking official has to sit and a horse has to ride, but he just couldn't catch up with the good times. Now he can only spend more money. In fact, these are just scenes to make him happy.
It can be said that the person who was unintentional and Sun Qi became interested. Since then, Sun Qi regarded himself as Gao Qiu's second, and was known as "Erqi". He wanted to become a powerful minister like Gao Qiu, but unfortunately he was not born.
There was no chance at that time, the Supreme Emperor had already abdicated and became the master who was waiting to die. He was always under the roof, so how could he give him what he wanted? But he didn't give up and still daydreaming to make a name for himself.
I was full of hope that the emperor would be able to regain the throne one day, and his good days would come.
That day, the Supreme Emperor went to the palace to talk to the emperor about the return of the Liao kingdom. In fact, he warned the emperor not to be ruthless and give the throne to the Liao king. Although these two men were the Supreme Emperor's personal eunuch, they could not let him stay while discussing the matter.
Around him, the boy listened to the two ears from afar. Although he didn't hear the cause and effect clearly, he heard a few keywords. Adding his own imagination, he understood that the emperor wanted to abdicate, but the Supreme Emperor refused to let him give it to him.
King Liao, but he was restored to the throne.
The good thing that was waiting for a thousand years finally made him wait. Erqi was ecstatic. He naturally wanted to celebrate, so he sneaked to the tavern outside Donghua Gate and drank it. As a result, he naturally drank too much.
Erqi also shared his joy with everyone, but because of the excessive matters, he left half of himself to secretly enjoy it, making everyone understand that the emperor wanted to abdicate to the King of Liao, and this became
The original version of the rumor...
Regarding the investigation results, Zhao Qi was so amused and laughed. What's the matter with this? A little yellow party with phantoms got too much drink, and he talked nonsense in the tavern, but it caused a big shock.
The major incidents in the Song Dynasty and the opposition forced him to "give up" to calm the storm. If the truth was revealed in the world, it would not have become a joke for all eternity!
But Li Jun's report made Zhao Qi unable to laugh. In the early stage of the spread of rumors of "abandoning the throne", everyone thought it was a joke, and no one was serious. In the hearts of ordinary people, the emperor represented the supreme authority and owned the world.
Whoever is good at the land and wealth of the emperor? If no one forces or robs it, it will be easily given to others. Isn’t that sick? So no one believes that the emperor gives way.
But there are people like Erqi in the world, but he has "persecution paranoia". The rumors of giving way back into the palace through the little yellow sects who went out. Now everything is as normal in the palace. The emperor
There was no abnormality, everything was still running step by step, there was no sign of dynasty change, and there was no market in the palace, which was still a joke.
