Chapter 318: Prevention Before It Happens
Zhao Yu was willing to go to the court this time, and he really relented, the little emperor entrusted the 'world' to himself, and he couldn't just watch it and let the court collapse. www.biquge.info And he also knew that he regarded the throne as 'dung' because he knew it was a dead end. But in the eyes of others, this position of the Ninety-Five Supreme is still fragrant, although the gold content is low, but after all, it is the emperor, and there are still people who are willing to die for it.
In addition, Zhao Yu knew that the situation faced by the Song Dynasty at this time was very similar to the situation faced by the Southern Ming regime that existed after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain, but the Ming Dynasty was different from the Song Dynasty, the princes were kept in captivity in their own yards, and they were kept in captivity in the wild. Hearing that Chongzhen was dead, the vassal kings scattered in the north and south of the country immediately came alive, and the kings with their respective forces killed each other first in order to compete for leadership.
During this period, in order to please the generals in charge of the guns, the kings of the Southern Ming Dynasty began to delegate power, especially to the army, so that they could collect military salaries in the garrison, which directly caused the central government's control over the army to become weaker and weaker, forming a large number of local warlords. For the sake of their own interests, the warlords attacked each other, and in order to resist the Qing army's southward advance, the situation of the four additional towns of Jianghuai was particularly prominent.
The army had almost no loyalty and sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and became the private bargaining chip of the warlords, and finally Zuo Liangyu, who came down from the north, went south, ready to touch the rich Jiangnan, triggering the fiercest fire competition among the warlords, and the last bit of spirit of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted. After that, the Qing army seized the opportunity of exhaustion in the Nanming army and sent troops to the Nanming. Along the way, the Southern Ming army and the peasant army competed to surrender in order to eat a meal, after all, the Southern Ming army had no sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty at that time.
From Henan Pingjiang and Zhejiang, from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Fujian and Guangdong, from Shaanxi to Sichuan The Qing army went south, and the resistance encountered was almost negligible, and the Manchu army was also like a snowball, increasing exponentially, tens of thousands of Manchu cavalry entered the pass, and there were millions of troops in just two years. When the Qing army killed King Fu, King Lu, King Tang, and King Tang successively, the Southern Ming Dynasty, which had an army of millions at the beginning, collapsed, and there was no natural Yangtze River and Yellow River.
Thinking about the 'lessons from the past', Zhao Yu felt that since this was the case, he would prefer to control his own destiny. At the moment, everyone is staring at each other like black-eyed chickens, of course, they can't move without permission, but it doesn't mean that there are no opportunities in the future. At this moment, these people in the DPRK and China have not yet formed a new pattern after Chen Yizhong left, and these people have insisted on not leaving until now, which shows that they are not all opportunists, at least they still have the emperor in their hearts, hoping to revive the Great Song Dynasty.
For example, Zeng Yuanzi, who regarded himself as an enemy, did not go into exile like Chen Yizhong when he defeated Leizhou, nor did he abandon the monarch and surrender to Mongolia when he was in Lin'an, knowing that he might be punished, he still went to Weizhou Island to find the imperial court, which shows that he still has some integrity; And Zhang Shijie, who is not on good terms with himself, although his heart is small and his brain is stupid, his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty has not changed, and he has always led the troops to fight in the east and west, and maintained the ******.
Of course, this is also a big gamble, the bet is the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty and his own life, but Zhao Yu must endure it at the moment. endure their exclusion and resistance to themselves, endure them treating themselves as nothing, endure their 'temper tantrums' and 'superpowers' that perceive the future, watch them make mistakes, and wait for opportunities to come......
After calculation, Qin Tianjian believed that five days later would be an auspicious day, and it would be feasible to ascend the throne. There was no objection from the crowd, and the ceremony was scheduled to be held on the second day of the fifth month, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works were ordered to immediately start preparations. But this also means that Zhao Yu has to keep the spirit for the emperor's brother for five days, although he does not need to worship incense and burn paper from time to time for these five days, and kneel in front of the spirit. But they should also live in the side hall, be filial to their clothes, and offer incense at four o'clock, and lead the ministers to worship. At the moment, he couldn't get out of the palace, so he ordered the guards waiting outside the palace to be stationed in the barracks, and he was not allowed to enter and leave without an order, and he lived in a side hall.
Thinking about it, this palace can be said to be a wasteland two months ago, and then dozens of palaces were built in a hurry, and there is a lack of this and less here, so the conditions are naturally not much better. However, he has slept on the construction site, and he doesn't think so, but fortunately, the house is spacious enough, divided into two rooms by a curtain in the middle, and has a few tables, chairs, and living utensils. But Wang De did not let His Royal Highness use it, but ordered a set to be brought from the ship, not only that, but the food and drink were also prepared by the chef in the house, and then the guards Pegasus were sent to the palace gate, and handed them over to the little yellow door of the attendants, and he tasted them before giving them to His Royal Highness.
"You don't need to be so cautious, do you?" Zhao Yu realized that crying was also a very physically demanding job, he was already hungry, but Wang De still waited for half an hour before letting himself eat after tasting it, which made him distressed, licked his lips and said.
"Your Highness, before leaving, Fu Shuai repeatedly told that all things in the palace are not allowed to be used, and what you eat and drink must be in the house, and you must be tasted by others before they can be used. Otherwise, something went wrong, and he cut off my head with his own hands without the Queen Mother's order. Wang De said with a smile.
"If you want to harm me, there are many ways, Ni Liang is blocked outside the palace, and now as long as the dead soldiers are sent in, can we stop it with a few of us?" Zhao Hao stared at the food box and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, since we moved here, Jiang Dutong is outside the door, and whoever wants to rush in must pass his pass first." Wang De pointed to the door of the hall and said softly.
"Oh, let the ship prepare an extra meal and hand it over to Jiang Dutong tomorrow." Zhao Yu looked out the window and sure enough, there was a figure flickering, and said with a chuckle.
"Your Highness, the little one has been noted." Wang De nodded, estimating that the time was almost up, and took out the food in the food box and put it on the table.
"Alas, if he doesn't recruit the spy next time he catches it, he will starve him for three days first, and then put such a table of good dishes in front of him to see if he can recruit him!" Zhao Yu saw that there were only four vegetarian dishes on the table, but they were extremely exquisite, and he picked up the chopsticks and said while eating.
"Your Highness, eat slowly, there must be half left!" Wang De saw that His Royal Highness had put on a disc posture again, and hurriedly stopped him.
"This ...... Why is that? Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness will have trouble sleeping and eating!" Wang De said softly...... (To be continued.) )
