Chapter 137: Taking Control of the Palace
"I'm the Dusk? I'm a faint king? ”
Zhao Ji was very reluctant to accept this fact, but he couldn't refute Zhao Huan's words.
"Father, I have a proposal: From now on, my father will spend his old age in Yanfu Palace to his heart's content, calligraphy and painting, how about it?"
"You're asking me to give way?" Zhao Ji stared at Zhao Huan's eyes tightly, "Actually, you don't have to worry, you are the prince, you will ...... sooner or later"
"I can't wait for my father!"
Zhao Huanda interrupted Zhao Ji's words and took a step forward; Zhao Ji was forced by his momentum and took two steps back.
"My father, you have been an emperor for twenty years, isn't it enough? Still want to be an emperor? ”
"The damage you have done to the Great Song Dynasty for 20 years has made the world return to before the founding of Taizu, and the ancestors of my Zhao family have struggled for more than 100 years, and this accumulation of more than 100 years has been squandered by you! Do you still want to be an emperor? Do you have to give up the country to others before you are willing? ”
Zhao Ji was still trying to argue with his mouth: "It's not so serious......"
"Enough!"
Zhao Huan roared angrily, "You only have two ways: abdicate and retire, or ...... Die! ”
Zhao Ji's eyes widened and said excitedly: "You...... You...... You dare to kill me! You are not afraid of the ...... of the world."
"Kill you, I'll kill myself, I'm willing! I don't regret it! ”
Zhao Huan said coldly.
Zhao Ji retreated again and again, almost falling to the ground.
He didn't expect that he, the emperor, would be such a failure in his son's mind.
I'd rather exchange my life for my life than let myself be the emperor again.
He sat down on the ground in a daze, completely oblivious to the coldness of the bluestone slab.
But then Zhao Huan's words made Zhao Ji even more surprised.
"Actually, if you don't let it, I can't do it, I can abolish you!"
Zhao Huan took out a gold medal from his arms, as well as a scroll of holy decrees.
"These two things were given to me by the old lady. When Emperor Shenzong was still alive, Zhezong was still the crown prince, and at that time, Emperor Shenzong had already expected what kind of person his father would be, so he gave Su Lao Taiwei these two things, one is to protect your life, and the other is to prevent you from harming the country and the people. ”
"Father! You can see clearly, the holy decree is clearly written, if you are willful, no matter what your identity is, you can be arrested and imprisoned! The Jin people in the harem, the traitorous party in the court, and Gen Yue who worked hard and lost money are all evidence of your willful and reckless behavior! If my father cooperates, we will still be good fathers and sons in the future, and I will still honor you well in the future; If the father doesn't cooperate, we will lose both! ”
Zhao Ji opened the holy decree tremblingly, and instantly recognized that the words on it were written by Emperor Shenzong himself, and when he finished reading the content inside, he was already in tears.
"I really didn't expect that my father would be so attentive to my son!"
Zhao Ji was full of emotion, and then said to Zhao Huan:
"The throne can be passed to you, but I have conditions! I want Yanfu Palace and Gen Yue, I still want Kai'er to live, you have to give me a million guan every month, and you have to let me go in and out of the city of Tokyo! ”
"Impossible!"
One million in a month is twelve million in a year!
How much was the tax paid by the Great Song Dynasty last year? 50 million!
Do you know what the concept of a million guan is? How dare you open your mouth!
Zhao Huan said angrily: "Yanfu Palace is all yours, but you are forbidden to leave half a step!" You don't have to think about Gen Yue, every stone there is made of the bones of the people, every drop of water is made of the blood of the people, everyone in the world wants to smash it, and his fate can only be smashed......"
"Nope! Don't! ”
Zhao Ji became nervous, stood up and waved his hand to Zhao Huan again and again.
"How can you smash the garden that took me so long to build? Absolutely not! Don't tell me anything about the blood and sweat of the people, I don't care, that's your business! In short, Gen Yue can't smash it, if you want to smash it, smash me first! ”
Zhao Huan rolled his eyes angrily.
It is really rotten wood that cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be enclosed!
But it's also angry to say that he was killed, after all, it was a father and son, and no matter what happened, he couldn't do that.
Zhao Huan thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take a step back:
"It's okay if Genyue is not demolished, but it must be open, so that people from the world can go to watch, and I will send someone to collect tickets there, and the money and money obtained will be used to help the people's letters, except for the maintenance costs of Genyue."
"You can go back and forth between Yanfu Palace and Genyue freely, but you are not allowed to go to other places, and you are not allowed to go to Qinglou - what is it like!"
"Zhao Kai, I didn't plan to kill him, but I deprived him of all his official titles, demoted him to a commoner, and he was never allowed to be an official...... Let him go to Genyue to accompany you! ”
"I have the final say on how much you eat and drink, and I can't give you money! In your harem's account, an egg costs three dollars, and it only sells for three pennies on the street, you are too stupid! Just your Yanfu Palace, 20,000 guan per month is enough, where can you use one million guan? ”
"That's it! Tomorrow is the first day, you issued an edict to let me supervise the country, and when I personally pacify the world, you will be the emperor! ”
Zhao Huan stood up and walked out.
"Zhao Huan! You ......"
"No more bargaining!" Zhao Huan turned his head and said angrily, then took a deep breath, "If you are still unwilling, or if you are interested, change into the clothes of ordinary people, go out with me, and I will let you see what the people really think of you!" ”
Hearing Zhao Huan say this, Zhao Ji closed his mouth.
He already believes most of the fact that "he is a faint king" in his heart, but he just doesn't want to admit it.
What are you going out for? Humiliated?
Pull it down!
However, I am very fortunate to be able to keep Gen Yue!
……
Yeonfuden.
Zong Ze, Xu Guanzhong, Wen Huanzhang, Li Gang, Liu Tao, Song Jiang and others gathered together.
Zhao Huan was looking at the harem roster handed over by the chamberlain, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling all over the ground outside, and couldn't help but have a headache.
Zhao Ji is worthy of being the emperor with the most sons and daughters so far, because there are 13,000 palace maids in the harem alone, and there are 8,000 eunuchs, all of whom hid during the chaos in the harem, because they were not important people, and the Jin people ignored them.
Harem, Yanfu Palace, Genyue, the three palaces together, there are more than 20,000 palace maids and eunuchs alone.
It's no wonder that the harem is so expensive.
Zhao Huan handed the roster to Song Qing: "The people in the harem must be abolished!" Yanfu Palace retains 1,000 eunuchs and 1,000 palace maids to serve, the harem retains 1,000 eunuchs and 1,000 palace maids to serve, Genyue retains 3,000 eunuchs to maintain, the imperial city retains 1,000 eunuchs to serve, and the other 2,000 eunuchs reward the kings, ministers, and generals, and 11,000 palace maids are given priority to the soldiers of the army, but each person is limited to one to marry, and the rest of them are all distributed to their hometowns! ”
"The head of guarding the palace is Mu Hong; The guards of Yanfu Palace and Genyue were in charge of Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, and the number was tentatively set at 1,000; The guards of the harem are in charge of Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law, and the number is tentatively set at one thousand; The guards of the imperial city were in charge of Mu Chun and Li Li, and the number was tentatively set at one thousand. ”
"Shi Xiu, Liu Qi, and Liu Lin led the Qingfeng Guard, whose number was reduced to 3,000, and was responsible for secretly supervising officials at all levels for corruption and bending the law, supervising merchants everywhere for illegal acts, and arresting enemy spies. But you have to remember that for all Song people, you have the right to supervise, but you do not have the right to arrest and punish crimes. ”
"The rest of Qingfengwei's people have assigned 3,000 people to Su Liang and Su Yi, and set up six gates to be responsible for arrest! The rest of the original Qingfeng Guard, try to persuade them to join the Forbidden Army, because we are about to rebuild two new Forbidden Armies with strong combat power. ”
"Shi Jin commanded 3,000 people to be responsible for all the gates and security in the inner city, and Zhu Tong led 5,000 people to be responsible for all the gates and security in the outer city."
After Zhao Huan finished speaking, most of the soldiers were overjoyed.
Most of them are singles, and Zhao Huan released 11,000 palace maids with a word, which is extremely good news for them.
When Zhao Huan saw their appearance, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but then he instructed: "Don't use force!" If people don't agree, they must not be entangled, otherwise they will be beaten with thirty military sticks first! ”
Naturally, the generals didn't care.
With their ability, do they still need to be strong to marry a daughter-in-law?
They are not Wang Ying, Zhou Tong, and Dong Ping.
"Your Highness!"
Next to her, Liu Huiniang thought for a while and said, "Can we let our sisters select 800 people to train as female soldiers first?" In the future, there will be a personal guard in the army! ”
Zhao Huan nodded, "Naturally! It's up to you to pick first, but you can't use force, if people want to go home, you must give money and release people! ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, we will naturally not break the rules!"
After speaking, he hurriedly went with Su Hongshang and Chen Liqing.
Mu Hong, Shi Xiu, Zhu Tong, Shi Jin, Mu Chun, Li Li, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, Sun Xin, Gu Sister-in-law, Su Liang, Su Yi, Liu Qi, Liu Lin and others who had already received the ministry also resigned and retired, and each went to select and arrange people.
Zhao Huan asked Yang Cun again: "Are there any harvests at the exit of the tunnels outside the city?" Did Sima Jiugong catch it? ”
Yang Cunzhong stepped forward and said, "Sima Jiugong has been shot on the spot!" In order to prevent him from escaping again, the body has been burned in a fire. In addition, none of the dead soldiers of Liang Shicheng and Zhu Mian escaped, and they were all shot; The golden people who got into the tunnel couldn't escape, and they were all killed! The tunnels were also sealed according to His Highness's requirements, and there were no tunnels in and out of Tokyo anymore! ”
Zhao Huan felt a little sorry after hearing this.
Sima Jiugong actually died?
This person has plotted against himself so many times, and he has never seen a real person once, and he always feels a fly in the ointment.
In his heart, he really wanted to see what kind of master this "black demon fox" was.
However, forget it if you die.
"The order goes down, tomorrow morning and morning, and all the officials who have not been dealt with must arrive. In addition, Wu Yong immediately prepared to engrave the newspaper, and engraved the affairs in the palace, the matter of the crown prince being named the prince of the prison state, and the list of the new batch of important ministers of the imperial court to be announced by the court tomorrow morning, the edict of the imperial court to accept grievances and make decisions for the people, and the matter of opening the world to take scholars this spring, all engraved on it, and sent them to the states and counties as soon as possible; At the same time, let the governors, state judges, and supervisors of all provinces come to Tokyo as soon as possible to report on their work, otherwise they will all be dismissed! ”
