Chapter 102: Poison (4)

Princess Yongqing listened to her father's criticism and had nothing to say, so she had to take off her coat silently, but she was still very unwilling in her heart. She thought: You are so strict with me, what do I think you want of yourself? So, she asked Song Taizu tentatively: "Father, you have been the emperor for several years, and you can't go in and out of the old sedan chair, and it should also be decorated with gold!" ”

Song Taizu calmly said to his daughter: "I am the lord of a country, and I hold the political and economic power of the whole country. I want to be able to decorate the whole palace with gold, let alone just a palanquin! But gold belongs to the state, and I will keep the wealth of the world, and I must not use it indiscriminately. The ancients said well: 'Let one person rule the world, and not let the people of the world worship one.' 'I should do it. If I had led the way in extravagance, there would have been a lot of people who would have done it. The common people of the world will resent me and oppose me, and the affairs of the country will be difficult to handle. Do you think I can take the lead......"

Princess Yongqing listened to every word of her father, and then looked at the decorations in the palace were very simple, even the curtains were made of very cheap green cloth, and she felt that her father's words were indeed very reasonable. The princess then bowed her head and apologized, and admitted her mistake with pleasure and sincerity, and said that she would learn from her father in the future, be thrifty and thrifty, and no longer be extravagant.

Once, Song Taizu got up in the middle of the night and suddenly wanted to eat mutton liver very much, but he hesitated for a long time and refused to give an order. Left and right asked him: "If the emperor has anything to do, just give it, we will do it!" Taizu replied, "If I say, a sheep will be killed every day!" As a result, he couldn't help but eat.

Song Taizu is so economical, and he also has his own difficulties. The kings of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms were almost all profligate, and the officials were also luxurious, making the civil economy very poor. After Song Taizu became emperor, he was determined to change the social atmosphere in order to relieve the suffering of the people. His actions did have an exemplary effect, and in the early Northern Song Dynasty, scholars and doctors competed to encourage themselves to be economical: when the state and county officials took office, the extravagant and wasteful and pompous ushering and sending were canceled; When petty officials took office, many of them wore straw sandals and wooden canes, and walked on foot. This spirit of keeping money for the world did make the Song Dynasty accumulate a lot of wealth at that time. And through the war of conquering the world, he has obtained a lot of rare treasures to conquer the country. As far as Houshu is concerned, it will take ten years to transport the gold silk stored by water and land at the same time. Song Taizu collected all the treasures in the treasury, and only used them for national defense and military supplies and natural disasters. Soon after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 32 treasurys full of gold, silver, brocade and silk treasures.

Zhao Guangyi suspected that the 80 Wen bottle of lamb wine was not up to grade, and once again angered the grandfather.

Grandpa Tai stood up from his seat, grabbed the jade pillar axe, pointed at Zhao Guangyi and said, "It's easy to do!" Well done! ”

Zhao Guangyi ignored his grandfather this time, stood up and shouted: "Someone! Don't bring up the good wine yet! ”

Wang Jien, who was standing outside the gate, heard the call in the Funing Palace, and ran in a row, and Zhao Guangyi repeated the words he had just shouted: "Ah Ji still hasn't taken out the good wine in the palace!" It's not possible to make such a wine to send Hanako! ”

Wang Jien ran to Zhao Guangyi and stood still, put the dust in his hand on his arm, bowed and said, "The prince's orders and slaves must do it!" ”

Zhao Guangyi glared at Wang Jien, raised his arm and said, "Isn't there a treasure of rose dew and fragrant wine in the palace?" Go ahead and get these two good wines! ”

Zhao Guangyi paused after saying two bottles of good wine and added: "One bottle is fine, preferably rose dew; The emperor summoned Xiao Wang Xiao to pour it tonight, how can it be good if there is no good wine! ”

Wang Jien saw Zhao Guangyi chattering, and looked at Zhao Kuangyin to ask for the opinion of the saint.

Zhao Kuangyin is the lord of mercy, and when he saw that the imperial brother who was still cunning just now seemed to be attentive and said that he wanted to drink the rose dew in the palace; will not be wrong and not give the bad thing to think about, and wave his arm to let Wang Jien do it.

This is Zhao Kuangyin's big and big and big and big Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but lose his life, the 24-year-old Queen Song after he kicked his legs, as well as the fourth brother Zhao Tingmei, the prince Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang and their relatives all died in vain; Zhao Guangyi's yin owl methods are glimpsed and the whole leopard is known

Officialdom is so cruel and treacherous, if you are honest, you can only be someone else's chopping block.

The cunning Zhao Guangyi first stimulated Zhao Kuangyin with words, and then showed the illusion of being attentive to drink the rose dew in the palace, these seemingly normal things are actually action steps to murder and take the heir.

The rose dew and liuxiang wine of the Song Dynasty were brewed in Ouchi, specially supplied by the royal family, and never sold to the outside world; If a little eunuch sells it secretly, once discovered, he will stab the evil Yuan Junzhou prison city and die there.

Zhao Guangyi launched a new round of attack to drink Rose Dew, but he didn't know that Rose Dew was available in front of Lan Caihe, the head chef of the back kitchen.

And Lan Caihe, under the instruction of Zhao Guangyi, had already made an article on the Rose Dew Palace wine.

Zhao Guangyi secretly found someone to make a special wine jug, which is a double-bellied pot that can hold wine in one belly and poison in the other; Controlled by a kind of hidden mechanism.

Wang Jien received the order of the King of Jin and got the permission of the great grandfather; hurriedly rushed to Lan Caihe to explain the reason, and Lan Caihe poured a jar of rose dew wine into the pots and carried it to the grandfather and Zhao Guangyi.

Lan Caihe first poured three rounds of wine for Grandpa Tai and Zhao Guangyi, and the brothers drank it very amicably; The fourth glass of wine began to be blued and the mechanism was activated, allowing the poison to be mixed into the drink.

This poison is a special anesthetic made by Cheng Dexuan, and the drinker gets drunk immediately after drinking the wine; He died after an hour of stupor.

Zhao Kuangyin snored like thunder after drinking the poisonous wine, lying on the wine table and falling asleep, Zhao Guangyi gave Wang Jien a few words and quickly left the Funing Palace.

There is a striking similarity in history, Zhao Guangyi made a special wine pot to poison his own brother and usurped the throne, and God soon took retribution on him.

When Zhao Guangyi was about to ascend to heaven, he chose his second son Zhao Yuanyou to succeed him, but Zhao Yuanyou mistakenly drank the poisonous wine in the concubine Zhang's wine pot and died violently; Zhao Guangyi's evil deeds were retributed in his son.

Zhao Guangyi abolished the title of the crown prince of his eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo, and made his second son Zhao Yuanyou the governor of Kaifeng; This is the best choice for the crown prince.

However, in the second year of Chunhua, Song Taizong's health became worse and worse, and he often suddenly became confused, and sometimes he couldn't even recognize the eunuchs around him.

But Song Taizong has never mentioned the matter of establishing a prince, Zhao Yuanyou is anxious, some people are more anxious than him, and they are more than a dozen ministers loyal to the government.

Early one morning, Zuo Zhengyan Song Xin, Yin Huangsheng, Feng Zheng and Right Zhengyan Wang Shize and Hong Zhan went to the gate of the palace to write a letter, requesting that the crown prince be canonized as soon as possible.

Song Taizong walked out of the gate, and the corners of his mouth trembled for a long time before he said: "Nonsense!" Then Tie blushed and walked away.

The next day, the men were unlucky; Song Xin was demoted to become the deputy envoy of the idle official regiment training without post and power, and Yin Huangshang and the other four were demoted out of the capital and went to some remote places to serve as the governor of the prefecture; Even the prime minister Lu Mengzheng, who recommended Song Xin, was removed from the post of prime minister because of this incident.

After receiving such a blow, Zhao Yuanyou collapsed completely; He returned to King Xu's mansion and called his favorite concubine Zhang, and the two hugged and cried.

After crying, Zhao Yuanyou said: "I know why the eldest brother burned his palace!" Big brother isn't crazy! ”

Zhao Yuanyou decided to use suicide to protest against Song Taizong, he thought hatefully: If you don't make me the prince, you regret going......
