Chapter 295: Who's in Charge of Ups and Downs
The establishment of the Han Dynasty heralded the three divisions of the world, the north was the Jin State that was sharpening the knife and intended to enter the Central Plains, the south and the Central Plains were rich but not strong, and the self-proclaimed orthodox Song Empire, and the northwest was the weakest, but rich and powerful Han State. Now the three kingdoms have their own advantages and weaknesses, and for a while, there was a short-term balance between the three kingdoms, and it was difficult to break this delicate relationship for a while.
Three Kingdoms kills, who is the master of ups and downs? This depends on the emperor of that family is smarter, wiser, and occupies the most powerful position in the future duel.
When the news of the establishment of the Han State reached the capital, the Emperor of the Song State was almost angry, he had already guessed that the King of Han was a rebellious minister and thief, but the real establishment of the Han State ripped off the last fig leaf, that was another matter.
The angry Song Qinzong Zhao Huan scolded the ministers in the political hall over and over again, those who are arrogant on weekdays, like a river, and skillful at this time, don't know how to say it, one by one is dumbfounded, and they do have a set of verbal criticism of the King of Han on weekdays, after all, they can mix to this level, they have written a good article, and there are many literati at home. However, once the confrontation between countries is involved, it is more dependent on strength to speak, play lip service, and write articles that will not solve the problem.
At this time, the most complicated mood is Zheng Juzhong, who served as the privy envoy, he is the abbot, but his youngest daughter has become the princess of Han, to put it bluntly, both sides are flattering, both bets, but both sides are extremely embarrassed. If the Great Song Emperor knew about this matter, he would definitely not give up.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, if even the matter of Zheng Juzhong's youngest daughter going to Jingzhao Mansion is a secret, then the two most mysterious heads of institutions in the Great Song Dynasty should lose their heads, one is the Imperial City Division, which mainly examines royal affairs and the involvement of hundreds of officials, and the other is the six doors that mainly review local officials, military movements, major cases and foreign spies.
Since Liang Shicheng was executed, the commander of the Imperial City Division was replaced by Liu Junji, this guy's sister is a concubine, and she is considered the brother-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, how can she not examine the imperial concubine's father, Zheng Juzhong?
For a long time, the official family did not take this matter seriously, but now that the Han Kingdom was established, he suddenly thought that Zheng Juzhong was now stepping on two boats, and he was no longer loyal to the Song Dynasty, so he was immediately tired of it.
Zhao Huan, who was tired of scolding, gasped for breath, and after taking the tea handed over by the eunuch and drinking it, he suddenly changed the topic and said coldly: "Zheng Qing's family, I heard that Ling Yan is eighteen years old, so let's enter the palace today!" ”
It seems to be a bland sentence, but it is a life talisman for Zheng Juzhong, he knows that this moment will come sooner or later, and he can't avoid it, but he came too early, and he didn't prepare at all, and the only thing he can do now is to hold on.
"Your Majesty, the little girl is already married and can't enter the palace, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." Zheng Juzhong knelt in the center of the main hall, he knew that if he couldn't pass this pass, the Zheng family would be wiped out.
"Matching? Why didn't Concubine Zheng mention it to me? Who is marrying the pearl of Zheng Qing's family, and he is ordered to enter the palace, give him an official position, and serve the imperial court. "Song Qinzong Zhao Huan just wants to expose the false side of Zheng Juzhong, see who still dares to go to the end of the minister, and see who dares to collude with the Han State.
It seems that the official family knows everything, and it is impossible to fool around at this time, so in desperation, Zheng Juzhong stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, there is a secret here, please allow the minister to report to Your Majesty in detail." ”
"The heavenly family has no selfish affairs, all of you here are my important ministers, there is nothing to hide from them, you can just say it."
Shameless, since the official family is so shameless and wants to tear off his fig leaf, then he has nothing to scruple about. Zheng Juzhong gritted his teeth, and said in a horizontal heart: "At the beginning, Weichen arranged the King of Han in the Yunwang Mansion according to His Majesty's will, and wanted to design to get rid of the King of Han. However, the group of dogs who were not long-eyed in the Imperial City Division actually clashed with the princess of Han, so that the king of Han found out the clue from it, and actually broke into Lao Chen's house at night and kidnapped the little girl. ”
If you want to talk about acting, Zheng Juzhong is really a first-class actor in the Song Dynasty, the old man cried bitterly in the hall with a handful of snot and tears, that scene was really sad, seeing tears, the ministers in the political hall looked at each other one by one, and didn't know how to comfort this old friend who lost his daughter.
If he didn't know the truth, maybe Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was blinded by Zheng Juzhong, the old fox, he saw Zheng Juzhong's old face with a handful of snot and tears, not only did he not have any sympathy in his heart, but he was even more disgusted, so he said coldly: "At the beginning, that traitor was in the capital, as long as I gave an order, he could be cut with a thousand knives, and you suffered a great shame, why don't you explain it to me and let me be the master for you?" Tell me what the hell is going on. ”
It seems that the official family is not ready to save face for himself, Zheng Ju couldn't help but resent, and secretly slandered himself, since he is shameless, then by the way, he will also lose the face of the royal family. After making up his mind, he said in a heavy tone: "At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of the King of Han were gathered outside the capital, and if there was a little trouble, I am afraid it would lead to a national change. Compared with the minister's daughter was taken away, even on the wedding day of His Royal Highness King Kang, Princess Kang was taken away, King Kang endured the humiliation and burden, and did not dare to speak out for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone Weichen? ”
One sentence shocked a thousand waves, the audience was in an uproar, the dignified privy envoy, the abduction of the daughter of the abbot is already shocking, now it is good, His Royal Highness King Kang, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, when the younger brother of today's son, was actually taken away by the king of Han on the day of the wedding, this is simply lawless, it is simply a rebellion.
If before, these civil officials will not pass the Han King Liu Zhenglong, and carry out verbal and written criticism, but unfortunately, now, the Han State has been established, and now the key can be said that Liu Zhenglong is a traitor, a rebel and a thief, but the civil officials can't say that, because the unscrupulous attack on the king of a country is to provoke a war, everyone present knows that now between the Jin, Han, and Song Kingdoms, the literal strength is about 500,000, in fact, the combat effectiveness is the strongest in the Jin State, followed by the Han State, And the 500,000 of the Song State can't even beat the 200,000 of others. In this case, once the Great Song Dynasty was deemed to be a provocation by the Song State and directly sent troops, it was the Song State that was ultimately humiliated, which everyone was like a mirror, and no one would be stupid enough to declare war on the King of Han.
These old foxes actually had a dirty thought in their hearts, that is, how did King Kang spend his wedding night, it is said that the next day, King Kang also took Princess Kang to the Han Palace, is it to thank this teacher for his round house, how broad-minded it needs to be, thank others for playing with their wives?
When about Princess Kang, King Kang didn't say it directly at that time, but only mentioned it very vaguely, Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong didn't take it to heart at the beginning, but he was excited about the ninth brother's oath to die and the king of Han as an enemy, and other things were directly ignored. But now that Zheng Juzhong mentioned it, he firmly believed that the old fox was not lying.
Indeed, on the day of King Kang's wedding, Princess Kang spent time in the Han Palace, which was a royal shame, and Zhao Huan, as the son of the Great Song Dynasty, could neither admit nor deny it, and there was no way to take the opportunity to attack Zheng Juzhong, after all, there was only a loss of a girl here, as for whether she took the initiative to send it over, or was occupied, it no longer makes sense.
"Shut up, today's events are strictly forbidden to be spread outside." Song Qinzong Zhao Huan knew that he obviously couldn't challenge Zheng Juzhong today, so he changed the topic and said: "The envoy of the Han Kingdom has already set out on the road, and it will arrive in the capital in three or five days at most. ”
What to do, the ghost knows what to do, not to mention the ministers of the political hall, even the officials don't know what to do? Fighting, it's not going to work, it's definitely not going to be beating. It is not possible to live in peace, so what is the face of the imperial court? Besides, the envoy of the Han Kingdom must not be good at stubble, if he doesn't do it, he will be burned, and the old foxes present are more treacherous than the other, how can they easily express their attitude?
Although everyone will not express their position easily, but since the official family has spoken, everyone can't keep silent, and finally everyone's eyes are focused on Wang Shiyong, you must know that this guy and King Han have not dealt with each other, and they don't know how long the fight has been, it is obvious that he can't hide.
Wang Shiyong knew that he couldn't hide, so he stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the key is what etiquette to use to receive the envoy of the Han Kingdom, this time is the core, and this requires Your Majesty to be dictatorial and act according to the order." ”
Shameless old slippery head, Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, couldn't wait to slap Wang Shiyong in the mouth, and actually played Tai Chi to kick the ball back, if he knew what to do, what would he do with you waste. Although he slandered in his heart, Zhao Huan, as the Son of Heaven, really had no way but to suppress his anger.
"You all stand down, Rong Zhen thinks about it."
Think about it, it's not like going to the Longde Hall to discuss with the Emperor Taishang, or to discuss with Concubine Zheng. These old foxes have long figured out the official routines. In the past, when the official family was still the prince, when something could not be decided, he would consult with Queen Zhu Lian. Now that Zhu Lian has gone to give birth to the King of Han, the official family can only discuss with Concubine Zheng Guifei. However, this is a matter of national system, and the matter is big, how can a harem woman make an idea, so everyone is sure that in the end, the official family will go to visit the emperor, after all, this kind of thing can only be decided by the emperor.
The reason why the old fox was called an old fox must be a scheming and deep calculation, this time, one by one, the calculation is really accurate, the official Zhao Huan really wants to discuss with the Emperor Taishang, but he can't pull it off, so he can only go to discuss with Zheng Guifei first.
Concubine Zheng is loyal to the official family, but this ice and snow smart, wise beauty is also ignorant of this kind of country-to-country exchanges, after all, the Han State and the Liao State, the Western Xia, and the Jin Kingdom are not the same, there is no precedent to follow, and even the Xianggong of the Political Affairs Hall doesn't know what to do, can she, a young woman who is only twenty years old, know how to deal with it?
Zheng Guifei saw that the official family's face was haggard, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so she asked the maid to bring a bowl of red ginseng soup to nourish the heart and feed the official family in person.
At this moment, most of the anger of the official Zhao Huan had subsided, and after he finished drinking, he said: "Now, the messenger of the traitor is already on the way to Beijing, and the group of old foxes who have officially reported it have pushed it cleanly, and no one is willing to take this errand. ”
"Your Majesty, after all, the King of Han is a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has not officially sacrificed to the heavens yet, nominally speaking, he is still a courtier of His Majesty. You can also ignore the national letter of the Han Kingdom, and treat it as a courtier's recital, so you don't have to be too embarrassed. ”
On the surface, Concubine Zheng's proposal is right, but if things were so simple, King Han would not have been able to get to this point today.
Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, looked at Zheng Guifei, who was perfect, sexy and enchanting, and charming and moving, and said helplessly: "What you said can't be on the table, and in the diplomatic relations between countries, there is no point in playing that kind of trick." If you can't even resolve this point, then the envoy of the Han State, Yuwen Xuzhong, will not come to Bianliang to bring humiliation on himself, this guy is a well-known ghost, sharp-toothed, and resourceful, how can he not think of a good countermeasure? Nominally it is to submit the credentials, but in fact it is a negotiation, if the Han State does not get something at the negotiation table, it will definitely be seized by force. ”
These are really not what Zheng Guifei can think of, and she doesn't know what to say, so she asked: "What did my father say about this, what did my second uncle say, you must know that Yuwen Xuzhong was my second uncle's student before, he should know his disciple."
"Don't mention the country." In the end, Zhao Huan couldn't help but tell Zheng Juzhong's ugly story, he didn't react at first, and thought that the King of Han forcibly kidnapped Zheng Xiaoyun, but on the way to Zhaoren Palace, the official family sorted out his thoughts, and it was Zheng Juzhong who took the initiative to send his daughter over to burn the high incense of the King of Han and bet on both ends.
Concubine Zheng's lungs were about to explode, she didn't expect that Liu Zhenglong, a chaotic minister and thief, would actually possess her sister, and she couldn't wait to fight with the other party at this time.
"Your Majesty, it must be Liu Zhenglong's traitor who forcibly kidnapped the sister of the concubine, and I hope that Your Majesty will be the master of the Zheng family!"
Zheng Guifei was so angry that she looked very angry, which made the official family embarrassed to be angry, after all, Liu Zhenglong had the disease of being a widow, and it was not impossible to really kidnap Zheng Xiaoyun, maybe he really wronged Zheng Juzhong. In the face of Liu Zhenglong's strength, even King Kang had no resistance, and Princess Kang was taken away, and it was logical that Zheng Juzhong's daughter was taken away. This matter can not be investigated, but Zheng Juzhong actually mentioned the royal scandal, which must be investigated, otherwise where is the royal dignity?
