Chapter 096: Succession (8)
Wang Jien rushed to the palace of the king of Jin and conveyed the will of Emperor Taizu to His Royal Highness the king of Jin; said that the saint would personally pour it in the Hall of Long Live and the King of Jin.
Zhao Guangyi listened to Wang Jien's report, and his face showed an unpredictable look.
The emperor's summoning into the Jin Palace at night was something Zhao Guangyi expected, but he didn't expect that the imperial brother would hold a banquet with him in the Long Live Palace.
In this way, Zhao Guangyi's plan to seize the heir has entered the substantive stage, and Emperor Taizu, who is both civil and military, will soon become a prey in Zhao Guangyi's network.
Zhao Guangyi thought that the imperial brother would soon become the prey in his hands, and the palace maid Lan Cai, who had not yet appeared on the stage, immediately appeared in his mind.
Lan Caihe is the head of the palace maid in the palace of the real emperor, and the Long Live Hall is the sphere of influence controlled by her own hands; Ouchi Imperial Chef also has to listen to Lan Cai and the command.
The third child of the treacherous Zhao family, the righteous word in the name should be changed to the word "谲"; This guy knows his brother's martial arts temper too well, so he has already laid a net around him.
However, Zhao Kuangyin is the emperor, and the emperor who is both civil and military is not a little wary of the king of Jin; This is probably Zhao Kuangyin's magnanimity and generosity.
There is a distinction between a righteous gentleman and a villain in the world, if Zhao Kuangyin is a righteous gentleman, then Zhao Guangyi is a villain.
Confucius took knowledge, benevolence, and courage as the three virtues, and on this basis, he put forward a series of virtues such as courtesy, filial piety, piety, loyalty, forgiveness, respect, generosity, trustworthiness, sensitivity, benevolence, gentleness, kindness, frugality, letting, sincerity, respect, compassion, fortitude, perseverance, straightness, self-denial, and moderation.
Mencius took benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom as the four basic virtues or maternal virtues, and expanded it into the "Five Virtues and Ten Teachings", that is, the monarch is loyal and the minister is loyal, the father is kind and the son is filial, the brother is friendly and the brother is respectful, the husband is righteous and the woman is obedient, and the friend is faithful.
After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he synthesized the thoughts of the pre-Qin Confucianism and the sons of the law, and put forward the four dimensions: courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame. Eight virtues: loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, faith, righteousness, harmony, and peace.
Adhering to the life philosophy of fatherly kindness, filial piety, brother and friend, and brother Gong is Zhao Kuangyin's open-mindedness and Zhao Kuangyin's advantages.
However, Zhao Kuangyin's open-mindedness and harmony were just used by Zhao Guangyi and became a breakthrough for him to usurp the throne.
Since Zhao Guangyi directly contradicted his brother on the issue of moving the capital, which caused him unhappiness, he wanted to use the stunner of Mrs. Hua Rui to completely anger Brother Wang.
An angry male lion will roar unscrupulously when he goes berserk, but the roaring male lion will not lift it, and a jackal dog will reach out and try to pluck out his intestines and stomach behind him.
The lion is mighty, but so what, the treacherous jackal will stick its paws into its dung door without moving, and kill him; This also seems to be in line with the laws of nature.
Since ancient times, the fight between men is nothing more than power, interests, and women, and Zhao Guangyi wants to send Brother Wang to heaven with a reverse thinking - he got Mrs. Hua Rui and asked Madame Hua Rui to sue him; He wants to use this woman to completely provoke the imperial brother and take the opportunity to attack.
What a dirty and shabby act, but the amount is small, non-gentleman, non-poisonous, not husband; It is a mantra for Chinese men.
After dark, the heavy snow did not stop; Zhao Guangyi took the four-by-small bridge to the Imperial Palace.
The sedan bearers who carry the four-seated sedan chair are four strong samurai, whose names are Gongyong, Shanwang, Wuzhi, and Summer.
If you think carefully about the names of these four people, it seems that you find that they are very metaphorical; The homonym is "flawless to attack the mountain, move forward bravely".
And attacking the mountain flawlessly, moving forward bravely must refer to the unfinished business of seizing the throne.
Gong Yong, Shanwang, Wu Zhi, and Xia Xia were all mountain bandits who occupied the mountains and were strong in martial arts, killing people and setting fires.
After being arrested by the imperial court, he was sentenced to beheading, and Zhao Guangyi passed through the Criminal Department when he was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion; He spent money to ransom four men and became slaves.
The four robbers were not sent to the guillotine, and they also served as slaves in the Jin Palace, serving their masters with all their hearts.
Tonight, Zhao Guangyi wants to go to the palace, so naturally he has to bring four people from the palace, Shanwang, Wuzhi, and Summer, and the four of them will be sedan chairmen to carry the King of Jin forward.
Wang Jien is a minion, stepping on the thick snow in front of him to lead the way; This guy knew that King Jin had entered the palace this time to plot a big thing, and he had a wind on his legs.
The palace of the king of Jin is in the Duting Station near the Great Xiangguo Temple, and you have to pass through the Xuande Gate to enter the imperial city; On the snow-capped streets, many neighbors are holding shovels and brooms to clear the snow from the streets.
Zhao Guangyi lifted the sedan curtain and looked out, and saw people bustling under the heavy snow; It made him, a vicious prince, very moved.
The starting point of Zhao Guangyi's emotion was that the reason why the people of Bianliang so consciously went to the streets to clear the snow was the result of his education when he was in Kaifeng Mansion.
Kaifeng Bianliang was a unique metropolis in the world at that time, with a population of more than 1.5 million; The prosperity of the Song Dynasty is inseparable from the enlightened policy formulated by Zhao Guangyi when he was the governor of Kaifeng.
There is such a description in "Mulan Ci": "Buy horses in the east market, saddle sheath in the west market, bridle in the south market, and long whip in the north market."
This is the scene that describes Mulan's purchase of goods for her father before joining the army, and the city will beat 300 drums in the middle of the day; Seven minutes before sunrise, three hundred cymbals were struck, and the crowd dispersed.
These descriptions are derived from the record of the market in the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty, which intuitively reflects the "fang market system" in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
In ancient times, "shi" meant "market", and "fang" referred to residential areas.
What is quite interesting in the description of "Mulan Ci" is why Mulan runs to different "cities" instead of buying everything in the same place?
It is because before the Song Dynasty, there were fixed places for ancient commodity transactions; Concentrate according to the principle of gathering like one.
The "East Market" and "West Market" mentioned in the "Mulan Ci" belong to commodity trading markets of different natures, and the "city" is a city established at or above the county level; The "city" was enclosed within a high wall.
At that time, the imperial court had strict management, and there were time limits for opening and closing markets; The "professional market" in the ancient traditional sense was also derived from this and emerged on the stage of history.
It is not difficult to see that the ancients' restrictions on commercial activities also originated from the respect for Confucianism, but the urban commercial market under the restrictions of the imperial court was extremely unfree, and human commercial activities should be spontaneous and subjective.
When the inherent market space can not meet the needs of people's business activities, and is contrary to the trend of social development, a long-brewing commercial market reform is imperative, and it has accumulated steadily.
Zhao Guangyi felt that he was the leader who led the market reform in the Northern Song Dynasty.
After Zhao Guangyi became the Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture, he changed the "Fang Market" in the Tang Dynasty to the "Street Market" system; Rows of shops were set up on Bianliang Street, and shops, tiles, mansions, and shops appeared one after another.
The market and residential space are interconnected, breaking through the limitations of commercial space; It forms a commercial street with many shops.
This kind of spatial breakthrough also radiates to the towns and cities on the outskirts of the city, where the East Cross Street Tea Shop in Bianliang is lit every five watches, and Boyi buys and sells clothes, pictures, garlands, collar wipes, etc., and disperses at dawn.
The night market starts from the fifth watch and lasts until dawn; And in the morning, morning trading began again......
