Song Taizong sat in a four-seated sedan chair, watching the wide courtyard of Weiwangfu, which he was all too familiar with; There is an irrepressible passion in my heart.

King Wei's Mansion was once the Jin Palace, and Song Taizong was the King of Jin before he became the emperor; After becoming the emperor, the original Jin Wangfu was given to his eldest son Zhao Dechong.

Zhao Dechong became the master of the Jin Palace, and after being named Queen Wei, the Jin Palace, became the Wei Palace.

Ironically, the Wei Wangfu later became a "prison" for Zhao Dechong.

Song Taizong pondered that his eldest son had fallen to such a point, and couldn't help but recall the "hardship story" since he ascended the throne.

Zhao Guangyi was originally called Zhao Kuangyi, and later changed his name to Zhao Jiong; One change and three changes did not change the bad luck of his body, but it was in the courtyard of King Wei's Mansion; He conspired with Wang Jien, Lan Caihe, and Cheng Dexuan to poison his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

As the "candlelight axe shadow" became a fact, the emperor's throne finally belonged to Zhao Guangyi; But the ensuing crises have taken turns one after another.

The emperor is not easy to do! This is Zhao Guangyi's cry of suffering from the bottom of his heart, but since he has sought it, he can't give up in vain.

Zhao Guangyi, his brother, and nephew, can do whatever he wants, but later he has to take the same means for his son.

In order to consolidate his supremacy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to kill his eldest son, Liu Ju, who had been made the crown prince; Zhao Guangyi actually followed in the footsteps of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and imprisoned the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo after he was abolished......

Zhao Guangyi was thinking nonsensically in his heart: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was eloquent and strategic, but he repeatedly made mistakes in choosing a successor, a major matter related to the rise and fall of the country, and Zhao Guangyi formulated the Pingrong Ten Thousand Arrays Diagram that had no predecessors before and no one after him; can throw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty off several streets, and finally embark on the old path of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Guangyi deposed Zhao Yuanzuo as the crown prince, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed the prince Liu Ju; also connected with Liu Ju's mother, Empress Wei Zifu, and killed Liu Ju's son and son-in-law; The great-grandson of the emperor, Liu Yi, who was a few months old, had no memory and was put in a prison cell.

From this level, Zhao Guangyi is not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after all; But his actions are the same as those of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty......

Zhao Guangyi thought about these heart-warming things, and his heart was like overturning a five-flavor bottle, bitter, sweet, sour, spicy, and astringent.

The four sedan chairs came to the "Bauhinia Garden" of the Sanjin campus where Zhao Yuanzuo was imprisoned, and Wang Jien retreated to the sedan chair and shouted: "Your Majesty, Bauhinia Garden has arrived!" ”

The name "Bauhinia Garden" was changed by Zhao Guangyi, Jing Tong Ban, originally this place was called "Zi Forbidden Garden"; Zhao Guangyi felt that it was not beautiful, so he called "Bauhinia Garden".

Bauhinia is a deciduous tree or shrub of the legume family, which likes light and has a certain cold tolerance; It has good drainage, is not resistant to flooding, has strong tillering and is resistant to pruning.

Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty changed the "Zi Forbidden Garden" to "Bauhinia Garden", which was completely based on the characteristics of the Bauhinia tree, and improvised to take auspicious meaning.

Song Taizong renamed the "Zi Forbidden Garden" to "Bauhinia Garden", which shows that he did not give up his expectations for his eldest son.

Especially after the second son Zhao Yuanyou sent himself into the kingdom of heaven, Zhao Guangyi's longing for Zhao Yuanzuo became stronger and stronger.

In Zhao Guangyi's mind, Zhao Yuanzuo is the self of the year, tall and majestic, capable of literature and martial arts; Especially the riding and archery skills that have been practiced since childhood, if you can go to the front line; It must be a hero like Yang Yanzhao.

Yang Yanzhao is the son of the veteran Yang Ye, and Yang Ye was the general recruited by Song Taizong during his campaign against the Northern Han Dynasty.

Song Taizong's entire record of destroying the Northern Han Dynasty was not as good as surrendering a Yang Ye, which made him feel excited.

Yang Ye is the son of the Jiangmen of Linzhou in the north, known as the Yang family general, and the folding army of Fuzhou, and the seed army of Qingjian are the three pillars of the Northern Song Dynasty.

After Yang Ye surrendered, Song Taizong immediately appointed him as the chief general of the Daizhou Assassin Shi Yanmen Pass, while his son Yang Yanzhao had been following his father to fight against the Liao army at the border pass.

In the battle of Yanmen Pass, the 800 Tianxiang army led by Yang Ye and his son, Lu Chengyu and Wen Tongxiao, defeated Emperor Jingzong of Liao State, Yeluxian, all over the place.

Yeluxian saw that it was difficult for him to win the Yanmen Pass, so he let the horse Xiao Duli lead the army to besiege it; However, Yang Ye and his son and Lu Chengyu cooperated to kill Xiao Duli and capture Li Zhonghai and Xiao Tzuai alive, achieving the biggest victory since the war against Liao.

Yang Ye's son, Yang Yanzhao, took the lead in the battle of Yanmen Pass, killed countless enemies, and was a benchmark figure among the generals of the Song army.

Zhao Yuanzuo has the courage of Yang Yanzhao and the conspiracy of Yang Yanzhao - so Song Taizong renamed the "Zi Forbidden Garden" where Zhao Yuanzuo was imprisoned "Bauhinia Garden".

The theme of the Bauhinia Garden is undoubtedly the Bauhinia tree, which is tall, upright, cold-resistant, and has strong tillering; This is a hint to Zhao Yuanzuo, and the versatile Song Taizong has the honorable name of "Bauhinia Garden", which has never been seen before or since.

And today, Song Taizong suddenly became interested before meeting Yang Heyi, the official of the Tianxiang Army, and wanted to come to Bauhinia Garden to visit his son Zhao Yuanzuo; It seems that there is a different kind of desire.

There is no doubt that Song Taizong is an incomprehensible emperor, who hides Mangfeng deeply, is scheming, and has defeated his brother Zhao Kuangyin and brother Zhao Tingmei in a row, and several descendants of Zhao Kuangyin have been picked by him one by one; to win the current stable situation.

Wang Jien interrupted Zhao Guangyi's thoughts with a prompt of "Bauhinia Garden has arrived", and he woke up from his excitement; In Wang Jien and Duan Li's support, he walked down the four-ride sedan chair.

Song Taizong stepped down from the four-seated sedan chair and stood on the ground to look up, only to see Zhao Yuanzuo's four maidservants standing in front of the door of the Bauhinia Garden: Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er.

Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er hung their hands down, and their heads hung down to their chests; stood on the ground very flatteringly to welcome the arrival of Song Taizong, but there was no Zhao Yuanzuo inside.

"My son is still in a state ......of ignorance and confusion," Zhao Guangyi said in his heart, walked lightly to Feng'er and the four of them, and smiled, "The four girls stood in front of the door to welcome the lonely family, why didn't Dechong come out!" ”

Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er heard the emperor's inquiry, and lowered their heads more and more than their chests; Not a word.

Seeing that the four of Feng'er didn't speak, Wang Jien twitched each of them with the Buddha dust in his hand and said, "Why is it that the saint asks questions, all of them are like dumb people who have eaten Coptis chinensis!" ”

Zhao Guangyi saw that Wang Jien was rude, stopped him and said: "Wang Aiqing, don't be like this, is the fourth girl unspeakably hidden!" ”

As soon as Zhao Guangyi said this, Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er all cried in unison.

As soon as the four girls cried, Zhao Guangyi felt that there must be something greasy in them, and asked uninhibitedly: "Could it be that Chong'er has something wrong with him......

Zhao Guangyi can call Zhao Yuanzuo, a rebel who is regarded as a rebel by himself, Chong'er, which shows that his father still has compassion for his son.

Zhao Guangyi is the emperor and the head of the political group; But in terms of family affection, he is inseparable from Zhao Yuanzuo, who touched the cup of cheese in the interests of Zhao Guangyi's group; From a political point of view, it can only be said that he will be deprived of the crown prince.

Now Zhao Guangyi seems to regret it a little, that is because he has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven and has not yet appointed a successor for the country; I was very anxious.

It's not that Song Taizong doesn't appoint a successor, he has already set up two; But Zhao Yuanzuo rebelled and was deposed, and Zhao Yuanyou, an unfortunate son, actually sent himself to the grave.

Zhao Guangyi asked the four girls Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er, "What happened to him if it wasn't Chong'er", and the Feng'er girl couldn't hold it back, knelt on her knees and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is crazy; The four of us didn't protect it well, and he escaped through the window! ”

When Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er saw Feng'er kneeling on the ground, they also knelt down and said the same thing to Feng'er with tears in their eyes.

Zhao Guangyi was dumbfounded, he missed his son, missed his son, and his wish to come to Zijinyuan to take a look in person could not be realized.

Zhao Yuanzuo is crazy? What is called madness? Zhao Guangyi was at a loss in his heart, and he was stunned on the ground and didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the emperor was stunned and didn't speak, Wang Jien immediately shouted to Duan Li and more than a dozen eunuchs: "Take down these four unruly little women, beat each of them with twenty boards and then fill the army!" ”

As soon as Wang Jien said this, Duan Li and more than a dozen eunuchs of all sizes moved; was about to torture the four girls Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er, but saw Yang Yiyi and Wang Zhou burst out of the back garden; Striding towards this side.

Yang Yiyi ran in front, wearing armor and hanging swords; Wang Jien thought it was an assassin and shouted: "Where are the guards!" ”

The guards standing in front of the Bauhinia Garden heard Wang Jien shouting, and rushed over with a dozen big men in a big way, surrounding Yang Yiyi and Wang Zhou, and facing each other with knives and guns.

Duan Li suddenly shouted: "Don't don't, this is General Yang Yiyi Yang sent back to the capital by the Tianxiang Army's concubine Ma Ye to report the victory!" ”

Duan Li said, knelt down in front of Song Taizong and said, "Qiqi Shengshang, this is General Yang who was sent back by the horse to report the victory!" ”

Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard Duan Li say this; came back to his senses and said, "General Yang who has reported victory!" How could General Yang be in this place? ”

"Qi Qi Sheng, the last general is Yang Heyi, who was sent back to the capital by General Horse to report the victory!" Yang Yiyi said as he knelt on one knee and clasped his fists with his hands to salute Song Taizong, and said, "Please also ask the saint to speak in the house, and I will tell you the ins and outs of this matter in detail!" ”

Zhao Guangyi heard that the person who came was General Baojie, and his face was already a little happy; Waved his hand for the guards to step back.

Yang Yiyi saw the guards retreat, and pointed to Wang Zhou on the side: "This is the merchant Wang Zhou, the eldest brother, come with the young general to report the victory to the saint!" ”

Yang Yiyi paused as he spoke, and said in his throat: "The four girls Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er are innocent and meritorious, and I hope that the Holy Lord will forgive them!" ”

Zhao Guangyi saw Yang Yiyi's eloquent speech, and waved his hand to make Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er stand up.

After Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er stood up, Zhao Guangyi looked at Yang Yiyi and said, "General Yang arrived in the capital yesterday evening, didn't he?" The widow has arranged for our monarchs and ministers to meet at noon, but I didn't expect to meet in this place! ”

Yang Yiyi saw that Song Taizong was telling the truth, so he said unrestrainedly: "The last general also plans to report victory to the saint at the court meeting, but he came to the Wei Wangfu early in the morning to report the safety of the prince to the four girls Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er!" ”

Yang Yiyi still called Zhao Yuanzuo the crown prince, and Song Taizong did not object; Instead, he stared at him ignorantly and asked, "General Yang rushed to the Wei Wangfu to report the prince's safety to Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er?" Where is the crown prince, the general knows! ”

"Holy Lord, the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo is now in the Tianxiang Army of the Horse Lord!" Yang Yiyi saw that the emperor was eager, so he threw out Zhao Yuanzuo's "killer feature".

"Chong'er, he's in the Tianxiang Army!" Zhao Guangyi couldn't believe his ears, stared at Yang Yiyi and said, "What's going on?" ”

Yang Yiyi perked up his spirits and said: "The young general rushed back to the capital all the way, and the first major victory reported to the emperor was the good news that the crown prince beheaded Xiao Tzuyong, the king of Liao and Yue! ”

"Chong'er killed Xiao Tzuyong, the great king of the Liao Kingdom! There will be such a thing! Song Taizong's eyes widened in disbelief.

Yang Yiyi laughed loudly, stood up straight, took out a brocade silk silk from his waist and unfolded it; Taking a step forward, he knelt down and handed Song Taizong and said: "Look, Holy Lord, this is the silk silk of commendation awarded by General Horse to the crown prince!" ”

Wang Jien saw Yang Yiyi kneeling and handing over the silk silk, and hurriedly took it from his hand and handed it to Song Taizong.

Song Taizong took it in his hand and unfolded it to look at it, only to see the thick ink script on the apricot-yellow brocade silk: "The abolished prince Zhao Yuanzuo killed Xiao Tzuyong, the king of the Liao State and the Yue Dynasty, and made outstanding achievements; A special merit medal was awarded! "Below is Lu Chengyu's general seal.

"My son killed Xiao Tzuyong, the great king of the Liao Kingdom! Ahaha......" Song Taizong held the brocade in his hand and laughed loudly: "The sun comes out of the west!" I want to be in the Gaoliang River, I ......"

Song Taizong didn't say the rest of the words but swallowed them back into his stomach, but Wang Jien and Yang Yiyi knew what he wanted to say.

What Song Taizong wanted to say was: I thought that I was pursued by Liao soldiers in the Gaoliang River, and the Liao generals Yelu Xianzhen and Yelu Xiuge led a large army to surround me; Jerushuge's man also shot me with an arrow, thanks to his clever men; Get a donkey cart and let me escape, so that I can get out of danger and turn danger into safety; I grit my teeth with hatred for the Khitan Tartars, and I have no chance to pay for it......

After Song Taizong swallowed what he wanted to say, he raised his arms and eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect my son Zhao Dechong to avenge his father and kill the Yue Great Heavenly King of Liao!" ”

Yang Yiyi saw that Song Taizong was happy, so he said to Wang Zhou: "Brother Wang, please present Xiao Tzuyong's head for Your Majesty to see!" ”

Song Taizong was dumbfounded, and said in his mouth: "...... Head...... I also bring ...... ......Bring it back."

"Yes, Holy Lord!" Yang Yiyi said impassionedly: "In order to bring back Xiao Tzuyong's head, the Heavenly Prince specially asked someone to make a pair of 'ice boxes' to put Xiao Tzuyong's head in full bloom, and the villain carefully brought it back all the way!" ”

As soon as Yang Yiyi's voice fell, he saw Wang Zhou holding up Xiao Tzuyong's head, Song Taizong turned around and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "The Khitan thieves founded the country earlier than the Great Song Dynasty, and only 3 Yu Yue Great Heavenly Kings have been sealed, Yelu Xiuge is the Yue Great Heavenly King, and this guy named Xiao Tzuyong is also a Yu Yue Great Heavenly King; I didn't expect the head to be cut off by my son Dechong...... Ahaha...... Ahaha......"

"Holy!" Yang Yiyi reminded and said, "Let's go into the inner room of Bauhinia Garden to talk, it's a little inconvenient to talk outside the courtyard here!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go to the inner chamber and talk! Song Taizong said with an idea, looked at Wang Jien and said: "Wang Aiqing, what we are talking about today is in the morning of the Vertical Arch Palace; If you don't change it temporarily, set up the court hall in the council hall of the Weiwang Mansion; Immediately notify the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to come to the Wei Wangfu to listen to the court! ”

Wang Jien took a deep look and said: "The villain obeys the order!" The edict summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs to come to the palace of the king of Wei! ”

Wang Jien said in his mouth, and said to Duan Li and more than a dozen eunuchs: "Duan Li, you hurry to the Vertical Arch Palace, and inform the civil and military ministers who are waiting there to come to the court meeting of the palace of the Wei Palace!" ”

After Duan Li's more than a dozen eunuchs obeyed the order, Wang Jien said to Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er: "Feng'er, Qing'er, Yin'er, and Yun'er, the four of you will leave two of you here to wait for the emperor, and the other two will quickly inform the head of the Weiwang Mansion to clean up the council hall and prepare for the court meeting!" ”

The hall of the Weiwang Mansion is as big as ten houses, and it is the place where Song Taizong was the king of Jin; Song Taizong, who became the emperor today, sat on the high platform of the commander that day again, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The ministers of civil and military affairs soon gathered in the palace of King Wei from the Vertical Arch Hall and other places, and everyone discussed: What is the emperor today? Why did you discuss the affairs of the mansion when you were the king of Jin? It has long been the residence of the abolished prince Zhao Yuanzuo; Zhao Yuanzuo himself is also imprisoned here!

The ministers of civil and military affairs have entered the hall of the Weiwang Mansion one after another, and it is still the civil ministers on the left and the military generals on the right.

After Lu Duoxun went to the post of prime minister, his successors were Song Qi, Li Fang, Lu Mengzheng, and Zhang Qixian.

followed by Lu Duan, Li Liu, Xiang Minzhong, Bi Shi'an, Kou Zhun, Wang Dan, Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei, Li Di, Feng Zheng, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai, Zhang Shixun, Lu Yijian, Wang Sui, Chen Yaozuo, Zhang Dexiang, Yan Shu, Du Yan, Jia Changchao, Chen Zhizhong; All these ministers came to the council chamber......
