Chapter 296: No One Can Take It Away
Dealing with Zheng Juzhong is not a trivial matter, how to deal with it is a headache for the official family, he is a typical tracheitis, he was afraid of Queen Zhu Lian before, now he is afraid of Zheng Guifei, and now he is rashly dealing with Zheng Guifei's father, it is not so simple. If Zheng Guifei cries, makes trouble and hangs herself, what should she do?
Seeing that the official family was full of sadness and looked embarrassed, Concubine Zheng thought that the official family was worried about how to deal with the envoy of the Han State, so she opened her mouth and comforted: "You can consult the Emperor Taishang for this kind of thing, after all, he is an old man with rich experience, and he will be more experienced in dealing with it." ”
"Is it appropriate, now that our father and son are like fire and water, he will help me?"
"Of course it will, you must know that if the Great Song Dynasty falls, he can't even be the emperor, if he doesn't want to be a prisoner, for his own glory and wealth, the emperor will definitely help you." Zheng Guifei is still sure of this, in her opinion, the Emperor Taishang is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise he would not have thrown the pot at the beginning, and now since he is greedy for life and afraid of death, at the moment when the Great Song Dynasty is facing a critical survival, the old man will definitely not stand idly by.
Zheng Guifei guessed half correctly, and the other half did not guess correctly. Half of the guess is that the emperor Zhao Ji will never ignore the Great Song Dynasty, and the wrong half is that Zhao Ji, who thinks he is still in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, still intends to get involved in the Great Song Dynasty, especially the establishment of the Han Kingdom this time, so that he realizes that the opportunity has come, this is the opportunity created by the King of Han for himself, if he can't catch it, then he can only obediently accept his fate in the future and be under house arrest until he dies of old age.
The Zhao family, who is not yet fifty years old, thinks that they are in the prime of spring and autumn, and they are in the prime of life, and they are pampering their concubines every day in the days when they are not under house arrest, and they constantly let the Son of Heaven send rookie girls into the palace. may be because of guilt in his heart, Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, completely accepted the absurd request of the emperor, and has sent more than 50 beauties into the palace to serve before and after.
Being young and strong is just wishful thinking, even when he was young, Zhao Ji didn't have the ability to sing songs night and night, his heart was infinitely longing, and his body was infinitely honest. Now it is even more so, constantly asking the official family to send beautiful women into the palace, but when it really comes to bed, there is no energy left.
The Han Kingdom was established, and the news spread all over the country like wings, and everyone's interpretation of this news was different, at least the interpretation of the Emperor Zhao Ji was that Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, was making a final effort to regain control of the Great Song Dynasty.
It turned out that when Emperor Zhao Ji was forced to enter Beijing, the King of Han gave a promise, and the King of Han did not accept Zhao Huan, the Son of Heaven, after all, the two sides were like fire and water, and they were incompatible with each other. The king of Han slept with Queen Zhu Lian, which is already a semi-public matter in high society, and there is no secret at all. For the official Zhao Huan, he must not tolerate the Han King who cuckolded him. For the King of Han, since he has cuckolded others, he must overturn the other party, especially when the cuckold king is the emperor, only by overthrowing the emperor can it be regarded as calming.
The promise of the king of Han is that the emperor will return to Beijing to accept the fate of house arrest, the kingdom of Han will be established, and then gradually force the son of heaven Zhao Huan to write an edict of abdication.
In return, Emperor Taishang accepted the fact that the Han Kingdom was established and supported it legally, and after the two sides joined forces to oust the official family, Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, recognized that Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, eventually ascended the throne as emperor, and that the Great Song Dynasty was an empire on an equal footing, not the current Han Kingdom. Not only that, the Hebei Road, Hedong Road, Chengdu Fu Road, and Kuizhou Road were ceded to the Han Kingdom, and five million stone grains were sent to the Han Kingdom every year, and they were friendly. Of course, this harmony only has the king of Han marrying the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no possibility of the Great Song marrying the princess of the Han Dynasty, you must know that the eldest daughter of the king of Han is only five years old.
Not only to transport 5 million grains, but also to transport 500,000 people every year, this state of affairs to remain unchanged for 50 years, this agreement is simply a loss of power and humiliation of the country, but the emperor Zhao Ji can give the other party is only these, but the king of Han really relies on his strength to force the son of heaven Zhao Huan to abdicate step by step.
After knowing the establishment of the Han Kingdom, Emperor Zhao Ji was in a good mood, and he wanted to pamper Concubine Liu in broad daylight, so the Imperial Doctor had to provide red pills to meet Emperor Taishang's evil and shameless request.
Concubine Zheng Guifei entered the Longde Palace, she wanted to know what the Emperor Taishang was doing recently, so she strictly forbade the palace maids below and the eunuchs to disturb her. You must know that after Queen Zhu Lian left, Concubine Zheng Guifei was the lord of the six palaces, and the eunuchs and palace maids were obedient to her, and no one dared to disobey. In this way, Zheng Guifei witnessed the most unseen side, you must know that since she was pregnant, there has been no such thing for more than a year and nearly two years, after witnessing it, you can imagine how she feels.
I don't know how long it took, but after it subsided, Concubine Zheng Guifei asked the eunuch to inform the emperor that she had come to ask for a meeting.
Emperor Zhao Ji is a human spirit, and he still doesn't understand the twists and turns in this, but after all, he is his daughter-in-law, and it is not easy to find out, so after cleaning up, he let Concubine Zheng come in.
"Daughter-in-law see father-in-law."
In order to avoid stimulating the Emperor Zhao Ji, the official family and the concubines below all received the defeat of the Emperor with the gift of father and son of the family, and there was no Son of Heaven in the Longde Palace, no Emperor Taishang, and no imperial concubines, only fathers and sons, and daughters-in-law.
"Is there something to do here today?"
"My daughter-in-law has something I want to ask my father-in-law for help." Concubine Zheng didn't want to stay for a minute, she simply said the matter, and finally said: "Now Da Lang is anxious about this matter, and I hope that my father-in-law will think of the relationship between father and son, and help me with everything." ”
If the unpleasant thing in front of him hadn't happened, Emperor Zhao Ji was still ready to take care of it, but now that everyone was embarrassed by each other, he was embarrassed to embarrass Concubine Zheng, so he said: "This matter is not difficult, let the minister of the political hall come to see me, I will tell them what to do, and I will meet the envoy of the Han Kingdom alone." Okay, if you go back and ask Da Lang, if there is no problem with these, I will deal with all this, of course, if Da Lang has any ideas, then do what Da Lang wants. ”
(In the Song Dynasty, the eldest son was generally called Da Lang and the second son was Erlang, as if Wu Song was called Wu Erlang.) I really don't know what Taro in Japan, Jiro, is it imitating the Song Dynasty)
Concubine Zheng Guifei had long known that this level was not easy, and she didn't expect such harsh conditions from the official family to come and wanted to refute it, but when she thought of the embarrassing scene just now, she could only agree with her face flushed with shame, and then go back and discuss it with the official family.
The official Zhao Huan didn't know what happened in the Longde Palace, but he knew that the conditions proposed by the Emperor Taishang were too much, and he said angrily: "Bastard, shameless, when is it, still thinking about the imperial power, and still wanting to take the imperial power from my hands, it's really the old birthday star who hanged himself to death, and I want to kill him." ”
"Your Majesty is angry, the Emperor Taishang is just talking, you don't need to mind so much."
"You know a." This is the first time that the official Zhao Huan has been angry at Concubine Zheng, which shows how angry he is in his heart, he quickly realized his gaffe, so he said: "Concubine Ai, don't mind, I didn't mean that." ”
"What does that mean?" The fire in Concubine Zheng's heart came up all of a sudden, since the official family ascended the throne, maybe because she didn't give birth to her own children, or maybe because she was under too much pressure, she didn't stay in her Zhaoren Palace, plus the scene in Longde Palace just now, it's no wonder if she doesn't ship the goods? She said angrily: "If you dislike the words of the concubine, Your Majesty, you will say it directly, there is no need to refer to Sang and scold Huai like this." ”
"I don't mean anything else, it's just a little depressed" Zhao Huan explained: "The minister of the political hall holds great power, and he is the head of a hundred officials, and he has abdicated all the old things. In addition, I met the envoy of the Han Kingdom, that is my dictatorship, what qualifications does he have to meet, and he has to meet in private, what is this for, isn't it just to unite with that traitor, what is the point of meeting in private. Bastard, I'm going to kill him. ”
It's all nonsense, how can a son kill Lao Tzu. Concubine Zheng Guifei barely suppressed her anger, and she said: "Now we have to find out what the conditions offered by Emperor Taishang to the Han Kingdom, why Liu Zhenglong is willing to cooperate with him, and we can offer the same conditions." Since militarily we can't destroy the Han Kingdom, that is, first live in peace, and then kill people with soft knives, and slowly clean up the chaotic ministers and thieves, no matter what, we are the Heavenly Empire, only to win the hearts of the people, and gradually the Han Kingdom will still become a part of the Great Song Dynasty, at most like Dali to be a vassal state, and pay tribute every year. ”
"How can it be so simple, the Emperor Taishang must have made a condition that the King of Han could not refuse, otherwise with Liu Zhenglong's wolf ambitions, how could he do anything with him? The Emperor Taishang has been placed under house arrest, and it is inevitable that the conditions for restoration will be strong. However, I am the supreme of the Ninety-Five, how can I exchange the interests of the country with the rebellious ministers and thieves, don't say it anymore, I am the king of the fallen country, even if I am forced to abdicate the throne, I will not compromise with that thief. ”
Yes, whatever conditions are offered, the emperor will not suffer, anyway, it is not his own that is handed over, but the official family is different, it is equivalent to cutting meat. Concubine Zheng Guifei knew that the official family would not give in, so she was no longer reluctant, so she said casually: "Then the conditions set by the emperor, do you agree or not?" ”
This is really stumped by the official Zhao Huan, he really doesn't want to agree, but is it okay not to agree? The Emperor must have calculated, how could he dodge?
"Someone, it's rumored that Liu Junji has come to see me."
The wrath of the Son of Heaven is filled with millions of floating corpses and rivers of blood. Although Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong has a very poor control over the Great Song Dynasty, he is still the supreme Ninety-Five Supreme in the capital, and he can decide anyone's life and death. He lost patience with the Emperor, to put it bluntly, he had a murderous intent, but it is not so simple to kill the Emperor, it must be unaware, so that people in the world cannot be suspicious, this is not so simple to do.
It's hard to do, it doesn't mean it can't be done, it's obvious that this matter can be handed over to Liu Junji. You must know that Liu Junji climbed up from the bottom of the Imperial City Division, and his personal ability is second to none in the entire Imperial City Division. To be able to sit firmly in the position of the commander of the Imperial City Division, it is not enough to rely on that little bit of in-laws, the most important thing is ability.
After seeing Liu Junji, Zhao Huan, the Son of Heaven, gave an order to this guy, this time it was about the throne, he had to be careful, and he had to be cautious.
After the arrangement was made, Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, felt that it was necessary to meet the emperor, after all, many things could not be put on the table, and the surface work still had to be done.
The Emperor Taishang was not surprised at all that the official Zhao Huan came to see him, he said with a smile: "Da Lang, you don't go to deal with state affairs, come to see what I, an old man, do?" ”
"Father, you are at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can you be an old man?"
"You also know that I am in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, so why did you imprison me in this Longde Palace, I want to be an old friend, and you don't let you come to see me."
No, the Emperor Taishang began to put forward conditions, seeing that the minister of the political hall was fake, and secretly meeting with the envoy of the Han Kingdom was also fake, and talking about the conditions was true, the key was to see what the official family could agree.
"I wonder who my father wants to see?" The official family knows that this pass cannot be avoided, and if he does not agree to this, he needs to promise to let him meet the minister of the political hall and the envoy of the Han State, which will be even more troublesome.
"It doesn't matter, it's up to who remembers me, an old thing, to talk to me."
"Well, I promise you." After all, the official Zhao Huan was still young and inexperienced, so he didn't find any problems in the middle, so he agreed without thinking about it.
Seeing that his son was surrounded by himself, Emperor Zhao Ji no longer insisted on anything, he said, "The matter of meeting the envoy of the Han Kingdom will be handed over to the official Shangshu Wang Shiyong, and I will teach him how to talk about it." In addition, you can contact the Jin State, only under the heavy pressure of the Jin State, the Han army cannot act rashly. Don't worry, the country is not only yours, but also our Zhao family, I will not turn my elbow outward and destroy the Zhao family. ”
"Yes, the country is our Zhao family, and no one can take it away, but is it appropriate to cooperate with the Jin State? You must know that the ambition of the wolf son of Jin Guo and the cooperation with Jin Guo is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger, and if you don't do it, the gains will outweigh the losses. ”。
Zhao Huan didn't want to cooperate with the Jin State to deal with the Han State together, but the last time he marched south, the soldiers were frequent, which really frightened His Majesty the Emperor, and he was afraid that the Jin army would go south again, for fear of becoming a prisoner of the Jin State.
Emperor Zhao Ji knew his cowardly and incompetent son too well, and he said with a smile: "The last time the Jin army went south, it has proved that the Jin Kingdom did not have the strength to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, and it did not have the ambition to destroy the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, before the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Han Kingdom, it invaded the Great Song Dynasty, which indicates that it is seeking its own destruction. Based on my understanding of the King of Han, as long as the Jin army goes south, Liu Zhenglong will definitely send troops, unless you force him to be in a hurry. If it weren't for you to implement the material embargo without authorization, he would not have rashly left the Great Song Dynasty and established the Han Kingdom without authorization. I still understand this person and have ambitions, but there is still national righteousness, and I will not dig my own grave. ”
