Chapter 42: Death

One night back to the pre-liberation period!

The organs were exhausted, and Qingqing's life was mistaken!

Fortunately, no, he was just a military general, and people were soft-spoken at the time, otherwise, today I am afraid that it is not just as simple as dismissal.

From being a privy secretary and Jiangning Jiedu envoy to being stripped of his official position, Zhang Jun can be described as a double heaven of ice and fire, and his life has been up and down too fast, so he can't react for a while.

From a mere archer, to the commander of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, to the stay in Nanjing, the Privy Council, and the history of Jiangning's assassination, Zhang Jun, who was forty-seven or eighteen years old, finally reached the pinnacle of his life.

He came and went quickly, and in just two years, he fell from the top to the bottom, and everything returned to zero.

Perhaps the only thing that made him happy was that he was neither imprisoned nor belittled, which was already a blessing in misfortune.

This "halberd sinking into the sand" made him see himself clearly, and no one came out to intercede for him, which shows that his foundation in the court is too shallow. The thigh of Zhao Ji, who he was hugging, never appeared, and he didn't even vomit a bubble.

Sure enough: the most ruthless emperor's family, when he used you, he said all the good things, and when it was time to abandon you, he never had the slightest mercy.

A martial artist from a humble background and nearly half a hundred years old, who cares?

These people are just using him. Conversely, he is not taking advantage of others.

The biggest reliance in the DPRK on Qin Hui died tragically in a foreign country, Geng Nanzhong sent Leizhou, and other ministers were alienated from him, and he became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.

Qin Hui, who didn't die early or late, died in Goryeo at this juncture. With his death, the "Iron Triangle" of Qin Hui, Geng Nanzhong, and Tang Ke collapsed, and it also affected his innocent people.

Zhao Gou is even more ruthless, Qin Hui is loyal to him, as soon as a person dies, he falls into the well, without any mercy, it can be described as ruthless and extremely cold.

People in the world are selfish!

Fortunately, perhaps for Zhao Ji's sake, the Song family was quite benevolent, and his family and sons were not implicated. Several of his sons were still on errand in the palace and were not affected by his denunciation as a citizen.

In this life, it seems that this is the only way to go.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Liu Zihou, dressed in armor and with a tired face, walked in.

"Dad, why are you so early?"

Seeing his son's listlessness in his eyes, Zhang Jun couldn't help frowning, and said angrily:

"Erlang, you didn't return this night, did you go to the tile again?"

"Dad, you have wronged me, but I was on duty all night last night, that is, I will come back now, and I will have to spend the night all night!"

Zhang Zihou's face was full of aggrieved expressions.

"Erlang, could it be that something happened in the palace?"

Zhang Jun couldn't help but be stunned. His instincts told him that something big might be going to happen.

Zhang Zihou looked around, pulled his father aside, and then said softly:

"Dad, you don't know, I'm afraid something big will happen in the palace. The official family seems to be unable to do it. ”

Zhang Jun's heart was shocked, and he stood stupidly in the courtyard.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it seems that he will never have a chance to turn over.

In the inner courtyard of the palace of Lin'an Mansion, forbidden troops with guns and knives can be seen everywhere, and everyone stands solemnly and silently.

Cao Xun and the imperial doctor came in, and when they saw Zhao Ji sitting on the soft couch and looking at him, they couldn't help but be surprised and shed two lines of tears.

"Official, you ...... Looks much better!"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it, what is meant by "much better spirit", the official family must be much better.

Zhao Ji shook his head slightly, waved his hand lightly and said:

"Imperial doctor, you and the others go out, Emperor Xuan's sons and grandsons, and the harem concubines are all here."

Everyone retreated, and Zhao Ji signaled.

"Cao Xun, there is no one else here, you sit next to me."

Seeing Cao Xun's squirming appearance, Zhao Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Cao Xun, I can't do it anymore, don't cower anymore."

"Official!"

Cao Xun hurriedly sat down on the couch, and the tears on his face fell again.

"After all, man dies, and no one is exempt from vulgarity. You and I have something to say to you. ”

"The official family is in full bloom, the Great Song Dynasty still needs you, the people also need you, and the ministers can't do without you!"

Cao Xun choked up and said, which made Zhao Ji's heart warm, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Don't cry, it's unseemly."

Zhao Ji pressed the waves in his heart and said softly: "A hundred years after I have passed, you will take my secret decree to Hebei to meet Wang Song and ask him not to harm the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty."

Cao Xun was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that when the matter came, Zhao Ji actually thought of Wang Song.

"He wants Zhao Song's country, just give it to him."

Zhao Ji shook his head slightly, and sighed: "I can't be a good emperor, but I must also be a good father and not let the descendants of the Zhao family be harmed."

"Wait a while, Brother Jiu, they will come, and you will wait by the side."

Cao Xun took the secret decree in a panic and put it away, Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and Cao Xun hurriedly stepped aside.

"Dad, wake up!"

Zhao Gou's shouting brought Zhao Ji, who was angry, back from his coma.

Since the first year of Jingkang, when the Jurchens went south, he has lived in fear all day long, and his health has never been better.

The Song family moved south, was attacked on the way, and when he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he had to avoid the sea, coupled with the changes of Miao Liu, his body was not as good as day by day.

Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache to read books and read aloud offline!

After two years of stabilization, the rebels of Yang Qi shook the south of the Yangtze River again, and there were many military disasters everywhere. He can only indulge in wine and hide from reality. A lot of children were born, and their bones collapsed.

I can't go back to Tokyo City.

The 170-year qi of the Great Song Dynasty is probably going to run out.

He lost the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how to comment on the future of Qingshi?

However, now, he can't care about this.

People die like lights out, so why care about the mouths of others.

"Brother Jiu'er, from today onwards, you will be the Son of the Great Song Dynasty. I'm afraid this burden will hurt you!"

Zhao Ji's face was full of red light and became energetic.

"Dad, you have to cherish it!"

Zhao Gou shed tears, and the princes, grandsons, and harem concubines kneeling below cried even more.

"Fortunately, fortunately Wang Song was here at the beginning, and he didn't let the Jurchens break the city, otherwise you would all be in that bitter cold place, maybe there would be no bones."

Zhao Ji sat up, and the people behind him hurriedly supported him.

"Don't cry and cry, it will make me feel uncomfortable."

Zhao Gou hurriedly waved his hand, and the crying below immediately stopped, turning into a sob.

"Cao Xun, King Su, you come forward and announce the edict on my behalf."

Cao Xun and King Su hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the edict on the table, and read it aloud.

Zhao Gou couldn't help but feel "through" in his heart, for fear that the heir to the throne in the edict was not himself.

"Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, is frugal and benevolent, and he bows deeply, and he will be able to overcome the unification. After succeeding me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne ......"

After Cao Xun finished reading, the people in the room were all shouting long live, and when he looked at Zhao Ji again, he was already a little out of breath. He said to Zhao Gou, who was worried on the side:

"Child, from today on, you are the lord of the world, remember to love the people, protect the whole clan, do not go against the sky, everything goes with the flow, do you understand?"

Zhao Gou's forehead was covered with sweat, he knelt down, and choked up: "Remember Daddy's teachings, child!"

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, although the Yang Qi rebels have received Zhao'an,

However, the thief's nature is difficult to change, you must not be gullible, you must always be vigilant. ”

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, the red light on his face slowly faded, and the whole person's personality became gray.

"It's a pity that your brothers can't all be around, child, if you can bury your father in the imperial mausoleum, your father will be satisfied!"

The figures of the eldest son Zhao Huan and the third son Zhao Kai appeared in front of Zhao Ji's eyes, and two lines of turbid tears couldn't help but flow.

"Gen Yue, at this moment, I'm afraid there are thousands of purples and thousands of reds, and a hundred flowers are competing for beauty. Jinming Pond Jin Jin scale swimming, it is also the season of play, Daxiangguo Temple is bustling, shoulder to shoulder......"

Zhao Ji's eyes widened, and his body slid down, obviously running out of oil.

"Daddy!"

Zhao Gou's cry of sorrow, and the cry in the room sounded earth-shatteringly.

"Your Majesty!"

The palace was full of crying, and it didn't stop all night. Imperial relatives, civil and military officials, palace guards, everyone is white-clothed.

Next, there is the funeral before the funeral, the funeral, and the sacrifice after the funeral, naturally the new monarch Zhao Gou presided over the funeral, and also inherited the throne.

In the fourth lunar month of the fourth year of Jianyan (1133 AD), Zhao Ji, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, passed away, and was called Emperor Shengwen Rende Xianxiao, and the temple was called Huizong.

On the seventh day of the fourth month of Xia, Empress Wei issued an edict appointing Zhao Gou to inherit the emperor's throne. Hundreds of civil and military officials entered the court and wept bitterly in mourning. Cao Xun and Wang Boyan read Zhao Ji's edict. Zhao Gou went to the east hall to meet with the civil and military officials.

On the eighth day of the fourth month, Zhao Gou granted amnesty to the world, gave a hundred officials a plus one class, and rewarded all armies. Zhao Gou held a funeral for Huizong for three years, and ordered Wang Boyan and Han Shizhong to act as agents for military and political affairs.

On the tenth day of the fourth month, Zhao Gou sent Hong Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Xingke, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and others to inform the Jinren, Goryeo, and Wang Song of Hebei that Zhao Ji had passed away and Zhao Gou was on the throne of the emperor.

On April 11, Empress Wei was honored as the Empress Dowager.

On April 12, Zhao sent an edict to the east hall to perform state affairs.

On April 14, an order was issued to make the Seal of Acceptance.

On April 16, the crown prince Zhao Yang was appointed as the observer envoy of Anzhou and the Duke of Guangguo.

Although Huizong Zhao Ji hoped to be buried in the ancestral mausoleum, due to the southern crossing of the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to bury the ancestral cemetery in Gong County, Henan, and the cemetery in Huiji Mountain was ready, so it could only be buried shallowly and save the palace system. It is allowed to regain the lost land in the future and then move back to the ancestral cemetery in Gong County, Henan.

I just don't know, but I still have that opportunity.

Finally, Zhao Gou ascended to the high position that represented supreme power.

Picking up a cup of tea, while being complacent and overlooking all living beings, I always feel that something is missing.

Everyone was in awe, kneeling at their feet, bowing their heads, and then he realized that this high position was not so easy to sit on.

From now on, no matter how big or small, all trivial matters will be pressed on his shoulders alone.

Do not go against the sky, everything goes with the flow......

What did my father mean by saying this?

Could it be that he wants to keep to himself, and not get involved with the loyal army? And once the loyal and righteous army comes to attack, he will open the door and rob and become Wang Song's pawn?

In that case, won't the Great Song Dynasty be over?

Also, why did the emperor summon Cao Xun to enter the palace first that day? Could it be that the first emperor had any followers?

The eunuch came in in a panic, sweating profusely, and Zhao Gou couldn't help but turn pale.

"During the great mourning, what kind of system is it to be so frightened and uneasy!"

"Your Majesty, Yang Mi, the Duke of Xiangguo, raised troops to rebel and captured Yangzhou and Jiangning City......"

Zhao Gou was stunned, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into several petals.

In the fourth lunar month of the fourth year of Jianyan (1133 AD), Zhao Ji, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, died, and the new emperor Zhao Gou ascended the throne. In the same month, Yang Qi's army, which had already returned to the Song Dynasty, rebelled and captured Yangzhou, the famous capital of Huaizuo, and Jiangningfu, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jiangnan was shocked.
