Chapter 810: Return to Beijing

To be precise, Zhao Yu was very confused at this time, according to his own character and ideas, Chen Yizhong and others had already been killed I don't know how many times. It can be said that he was framed by him since he came to this world and almost lost his life; Later, in Qiongzhou, he did everything possible to obstruct the trip to the island, so that the imperial court was defeated again and again and almost lost the country, but at the moment of crisis, he patted his ass and ran away; And now that the situation has just improved, he ran back again, if he stayed honestly, he just wanted to make trouble with himself.

Therefore, Zhao Yu and Chen Yizhong have both personal grudges and national hatred, and any reason can make him kill. Think about Zhao Kuangyin's ancestral system of not killing scholars and doctors, and his original wish was also to be able to realize the rule of the literati and eliminate the division of warlords, so as to achieve the goal of the Zhao family for thousands of generations. Fundamentally speaking, it was for personal gain, but it was widely supported by the scholars, which in turn stimulated their enthusiasm and achieved great social benefits.

You must know that a person who is oppressed knows the value of not being oppressed, on the contrary, a person who is used to oppression is difficult to ask him to stop oppressing. In China's feudal society, there were more than 300 emperors, Qin Shi Huang, who burned books and pit Confucianism in front of Zhao Kuangyin, could not do it, Han Gaozu who used the Confucian crown as a urinal, and Emperor Wei Wu, who used the literati sacrifice knife at every turn, could not do it. Even Tang Taizong couldn't do it, because Li Shimin had a lifetime of conquest, Wu was the first, and Wen was the second, which was his inevitable order and the inevitable choice of the supreme rulers of all dynasties.

Zhao Kuangyin was able to make changes that had never been seen in all dynasties, and it should be that he summed up the historical experience of frequent wars and chaos in the 200 years from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties. And I probably didn't think so far at the beginning, I just thought that even if the literati were greedy, they were not as real as the martial artists, and I didn't think that what I did would have on future generations. However, in the three hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, the descendants of the descendants reluctantly still followed his oath, although the Zhao and Song dynasties did not have a record of killing scholars, nor did they cut off the evil government of the literary prison.

However, one thing cannot be erased, the Song Dynasty was indeed a dynasty with fewer killers and fewer literary prisons. The two Song dynasties' tolerance of literati, support for culture, promotion of civilization, and leniency of literature and art may be the most affirmative period in China's feudal society. Zhao Yu forgot which master in his previous life had said:

The changes in China's ancient and modern society were most in the Song Dynasty. Before the Song Dynasty, it can be roughly called ancient China, and after the Song Dynasty, it should be the future generation of China. Before the Qin Dynasty, it was a feudal aristocratic society, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the following scholar clans arose, and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were set in the Sui and Tang dynasties, all of which belonged to the door society, which can be called the aristocratic society in disguise in ancient times. It was only after the Song Dynasty that it began to be a purely civilian society. Except for the Mongolian Manchurian alien who became the privileged class, those who rose to the political upper class were all uprooted by the white-clothed Xiucai, and there were no remnants of the ancient feudal aristocracy and family traditions. Therefore, as far as the Song Dynasty is concerned, the political, economic, and social life have not changed compared with the previous generations.

And Zhao Yu knows that hundreds of years later, China does not have the religious tradition of the Western world as the state religion, the ruling structure of the ****, and the people are all pantheistic pragmatists, they have different beliefs and are not dedicated to worship, that is, they like to cling to things. However, it cannot be concluded from this that the Chinese have no faith or religion for 5,000 years. In fact, the belief of the Chinese is culture, and the religion of the Chinese is also culture in the final analysis.

Therefore, the cultural spirit is considered to have the energy that transcends history and is immortal, and is regarded as the life of the nation, and the people of the country are the pillars of the country, and it is the spiritual inheritance of the Chinese for more than 3,000 years. In this sense, the Oath Monument not only has the spirit of inheritance, but also like the Yangtze River in the hinterland of China, no matter how long the dry season is, it will never stop flowing. Even in modern times, the social life model of the Song Dynasty people has been inherited by later generations of Chinese, or it can be said that the modern way of life is not very compatible with the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, and it is the closest to the Song in terms of cultural origin.

And Zhao Yu is even more confused precisely because he has known for 3,000 years and 800 years later. Although he knew that Zhao Kuangyin's words had an extremely positive effect on future generations, they had no meaning for his current self, but became an obstacle on his way forward. It's so difficult to kill a guy who betrays his righteousness, and now he doesn't have to think much about it to know that once he insists on punishing him, I don't know how many people will write to plead for mercy, or even protest against the court.

At that time, Zhang Bangchang called the emperor but the government and the opposition said that he should be killed, but when it was really time to do it, they all began to turn to intercede, and Zhao Gou had no choice but to change it to exile, and finally forced him to commit suicide on the charge of raping the palace maid, so as to achieve his wish, but he still could not escape being criticized and criticized afterwards. And this can't help but remind Zhao Yu of a joke in his previous life about the leaders discussing whether to build a school or a prison. Of course, everyone knows that the result is to build prisons, and the reason is very simple: they don't need schools, but prisons are not.

Therefore, Zhao Yu, who has always been black-bellied, took it for granted that the reason why those scholars touted the noath tablet not to kill the scholar doctor in every possible way, and came up with all kinds of reasons to dissuade the emperor from killing a scholar who committed a heinous crime, was actually to leave a way back for himself, in case he 'suffered' one day, he would not lose his life, so it was completely out of selfishness that he would be so resolute in obstruction.

After Zhao Yu came to power, he always imposed the most severe punishment measures on traitors and traitors, and no one said anything irresponsible because of the situation. After recovering Jiangnan, he issued an edict of 'suppressing rebellion' to suppress traitors and traitors who had colluded with the enemy. The previous public execution of Qin Linfeng and his gang should be said to make people panic and alarm, and if Chen Yizhong is killed again, it is likely to intensify the contradictions, so that he cannot but consider the political consequences......

After interviewing two generals, Zhao Mengjin and Chen Renweng, and arranging the deployment of troops in the Gyeonggi area, Zhao Yu went on the road again. From Taihu Lake to the south, it entered the canal and disembarked at the wharf outside Hangzhou two days later. Wen Tianxiang led the city Chinese warriors to greet him, then transferred to the chariot to enter the city from Genshan Gate, and then went along the royal street to the North Palace. His return to the city this time represents the return of the Great Song Dynasty to his hometown ten years after the fall of Lin'an, which is naturally extremely grand.

A colorful building had already been erected in front of the gate of Genshan, and the guard of honor was spread, and Zhao Yu changed into a crown and dragon robe, and boarded the car into the city after accepting the worship of the ministers. In front, a regiment of the Guardian Cavalry Brigade was the leader, riding a war horse of the same color, holding various dragon flags, and playing music to open the way. After that, the ministers either rode in a car or rode horses to lead the way, and then the holy car of the personal guard brigade, the civil and military ministers followed the left and right, and the guard battalion rode horses to guard closely, and finally the cavalry of the cavalry brigade was broken.

On both sides of the royal street are the officers and soldiers of the first brigade of the protection army and the mountain brigade with three steps and one post, and a cordon arranged by five steps and one sentry. It can be said that the force that can be used in Lin'an City has all gone to the streets to maintain order, and this is also a grand event that Lin'an City has not encountered for many years.

Zhao Yu opened the curtain of the car and looked out, but when he saw the crowd, the windows along the street were opened, and he looked at the street, wanting to see his dragon face. But the grand return, he still felt that it was too much, the soldiers and horses used to enter the city this time were tens of thousands, all the streets were covered with colored satin, and the yellow silk was used as a curtain to isolate the people from coming forward, which can be described as a move to work the people and lose money. And in a few days, the Queen Mother will return to Beijing again, but this must not be done, otherwise it will be difficult to show the royal majesty.

The procession marched on the royal street for more than half an hour before arriving at the North Palace, and it has changed greatly in a few months, the front door has been moved forward, and the duty room has been added, the palace wall has been enclosed, and the square in front of the palace has been expanded. The front hall was changed to a vertical arch hall as a place for court meetings; The main hall was changed to the Daqing Hall to hold celebrations; The apse was changed to Wende Hall, which served as a place for the emperor to rest and work daily after the tide receded.

However, the layout of the north palace is still smaller, and after the front hall was converted into an office area, it encroached on the dormitory. And the queen mother is about to enter Beijing, and the emperor will get married in the future, so there is no place to live. Of course, Zhou Xiang would not think about his master, so he asked Lu Xiufu, in addition to recovering the part of the house that had been encroached upon, and then included the original Xin Wangfu and Yuwangfu on the east and west sides of the back garden into the scope of the North Palace.

After discussing with the ministers, Lu Xiufu also felt that the scope of the palace was too small, so he not only agreed, but also divided the land on the east and west sides of the palace area of the former dynasty into the palace city, so that the functions of the entire palace city were not only complete, but also became square. These places were originally occupied by the Mongols, and they were taken into official possession when they ran, and there was no problem of disturbing the people. After Zhou Xiang demolished the private house, it was too late to rebuild the temple, so in order not to look empty, two rows of court rooms and corridors were built along the edge as office areas and ministry rooms in the palace.

As for the two palaces in the palace city, Zhou Xiang also renovated and renovated, the east side is used as the little emperor's bedroom, and the west side is used as the queen mother's bedroom, and the back garden is the boundary between the two palaces, which can also be shared. And the original two palaces are each systematic, not only built with palaces, pavilions and various facilities are also readily available, so that it is not only convenient for the little emperor to go to the West Palace to ask for peace, but also divide the palace and live without disturbing each other.

In addition, Zhou Xiang also dredged and widened the river channel in the back garden to make it passable for small warships, and the pavilions and damaged facilities in it were completely renovated, and the unusable ones were directly dismantled from the original imperial city, and flowers and trees were replanted as they were. The furniture required in the palace was selected from the requisitioned and confiscated government offices and warehouses, and although they were not as exquisite as the original, they were also presentable.

The original palace wall was widened and heightened, and the defense facilities were added and improved. And rebuilt the four gates, added the city tower, and added the water gate that leads directly to the middle river, and opened the door in the east palace. The roads around Miyagi were widened and the Imperial Street was connected. The fly in the ointment is that due to the limitation of the place, there is no way to build a square in front of the palace, which seems a little narrow.

Of course, Zhao Yu didn't have time to visit his new home at the moment, and the same leader came back from ancient times to the present, so he naturally had to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and the emperor lived in the new house, of course, he had to hold a banquet to wash the dust and congratulate him. As the king of a country, he is also the main family, so he naturally has to set up a banquet to entertain, and those who are courtiers naturally have to send some tribute, so that they will not compensate.

"The king of Yiyang County greets Your Majesty!"

"Who are you? Look up! The ministers came out to pay respects and greet him, and then another person came out to salute. Zhao Yu looked at the people under the steps who were black and fat, wearing python robes, the flesh on his face was pouting, his nose and eyes were squeezed together, and he couldn't bend his waist with a big belly, he frowned and asked.

"The minister is Zhao Mengqi, the king of Yiyang County, to meet Your Majesty!" The man stooped over his head and smiled back.

"King of Yiyang? I haven't heard of it! Zhao Yu looked at him for a moment, tilted his head and asked.

"Your Majesty, before the fall of Lin'an, the minister lived in seclusion in the countryside and failed to escort him, so His Majesty naturally can't recognize it." Zhao Mengqi replied.

"Isn't that right? I have always been the leader of Zongzheng, if you are a refuge in the people, you should also go to Zongzheng Temple to report, check the disc score, jade, and verify your identity before you can enter the sect, why don't I know about this at all! Zhao Yu shook his head pretending not to know.

"This ...... The minister was indeed the heir chosen by the Empress Dowager for the King of Qi, and was crowned the king of Yiyang County. Hearing that the little emperor did not admit his identity, Zhao Mengqi was a little panicked and hurriedly explained.

"Then do you have a jade to prove your identity?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Your Majesty, the minister's jade was lost in the toss." Zhao Mengqi was stunned and explained. And secretly regretted in his heart, when the Mongolian army wantonly searched for the royal clan, he was so frightened that he threw away the jade, where would he have thought that the Great Song Dynasty would return to the yang!

"Your Royal Highness, Aiqing, can anyone know the king of Yiyang County and prove his identity?" Zhao Yu listened and turned to the ministers and asked.

There was silence in the "......" hall, the old ministers who participated in the canonization died early, scattered, and some of the current officials were still serving in the local area, and some of the officials were lowly at that time, and they had no chance to participate, and there was silence at the bottom and no one answered.

"Liu Ling, you were on an errand by the side of the abolished queen back then, have you ever seen the king of Yiyang County?" Zhao Yu asked Liu Lingdao, who was waiting beside him. At this time, Zhao Mengqi was already panicked, looking at everyone uneasily, sweating on his face, and constantly swallowing saliva.

"Your Majesty, when he was crowned the king of Yiyang County, he was thanked in the palace, and the little one was on duty in the palace, and he was lucky to see it." Liu Ling hurriedly bowed down and replied.

"You go and identify it, that person is the king of Yiyang County?" Zhao Yu pointed at Zhao Mengqi and said.

"The official must be careful, I will not forget the kindness of the official!" Seeing Liu Ling walking towards him, Zhao Mengqi bent down and saluted repeatedly, almost begging. Its filthy appearance made the ministers in the palace endure more than laughter, and some people shook their heads again and again, feeling that they did not have the bearing that a child of the clan should have......
