Chapter 301: Crown Prince (1)

Zhao Tingmei's death deeply stimulated Zhao Guangyi's eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo.

Zhao Yuanzuo questioned Zhao Guangyi in person when his fourth uncle Zhao Tingmei was assigned to Fangzhou by his father. Uncle, what crime did he commit?

From Zhao Yuanzuo's tone of questioning Zhao Guangyi, it can be seen that this is a royal child with a sense of justice.

That's right, Zhao Yuanzuo was the first son of Emperor Taizong; But his personality is very different from his father's viciousness and cruelty.

Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Heng are brothers of the same mother, and Zhao Yuanzuo is three years older than Zhao Hengda.

Zhao Yuanzuo has been very smart since he was a child, and he is not biased in arts and sciences; Reading, studying, horseback riding, and archery are all excellent, and he is a rare outstanding talent.

The most important thing is that Zhao Yuanzuo looks very similar to his father Zhao Guangyi; At a glance, you know that it is biological, and there will be no suspicion of making daddy's hair green.

Zhao Guangyi liked Zhao Yuanzuo's son very much, and when he looked at him, he thought to himself: "This kid is handsome and chic, and the jade tree is in the wind, he is exactly the same as me, and he is very suitable for taking over my class." ”

At that time, all the officials of the imperial court knew that there was no accident; The eldest prince should be the next emperor.

Zhao Yuanzuo himself also believes that sooner or later this country will also be his country, and such a beautiful world must be guarded by him; Zhao Yuanzuo will definitely protect everyone around him and every person in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the development of history was full of drama, when Yue Fei killed the Jin army and retreated, only one step away from recovering Bianjing; was forced back by the twelve gold medals of the imperial court, leaving a thousand-year sigh for the Chinese people.

After Yue Fei was recruited back by the Twelve Gold Medals, he was killed by Zhao Gou and Qin Hui on trumped-up charges; So much so that there is still a stone statue of Qin Hui kneeling in front of the Yue Fei Temple in Hangzhou; It shows how much people respect Yue Fei.

But history is always not transferred by people's will, and in the era when imperial power was prevalent, how could a Yue Fei reverse the decline of the country.

Zhao Gou is the emperor and wants to live in peace with the Jin State; You, Yue Fei, a courtier, make trouble from it, who else will the emperor kill if he doesn't kill you?

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji opened the "rule of Zhenguan", but because of the appearance of a Yang Yuhuan, he personally buried his "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era".

It seems a bit exaggerated to say that Yang Yuhuan buried the Tang Dynasty, but Yang Yuhuan and An Lushan are not innocent; recommended An Lushan to make Tang Xuanzong favored, but in the end, it was a fact that this Tartar rebelled and disturbed the Tang Dynasty.

The same was true of the Great Song court, when everyone believed that Zhao Yuanzuo would inherit the throne; Zhao Tingmei's incident happened.

Zhao Tingmei's incident caused Zhao Yuanzuo to "go crazy" and miss the throne.

Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu were embarrassed to plot against Zhao Tingmei, and Zhao Tingmei was charged with "rebellion", and Zhao Tingmei spurted out a mouthful of old blood; He seemed to have said: "Zhao Laosan, Zhao Sange, it stands to reason that your throne will be my turn; What's the matter if I take my throne? Besides, I don't want to be an emperor! ”

Although Zhao Tingmei said things from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Guangyi still dismissed Zhao Tingmei from the post of Kaifeng Mansion Yin and reappointed him to stay in Xijing.

After Zhao Guangyi sat on the throne of the emperor, for the sake of face engineering, he appointed Zhao Tingmei as the governor of Kaifeng; Kaifeng Mansion Yin is the crown prince, and he will succeed as the emperor in the future.

However, Zhao Guangyi just wanted to make a show and let him pass the throne to Zhao Tingmei; That's simply not possible.

After Zhao Tingmei was sent by Zhao Guangyi to Xijing Luoyang to stay behind, he was stripped of all his official positions on the charge of colluding with Shangshu Lu Duoxun for rebellion.

In the first year of Song Taizong's Yongxi, Zhao Tingmei's family moved to Fangzhou.

Zhao Tingmei thought that she was a royal family, and she was bullied by her brother Zhao Guangyi like this; It's really a matter of putting up with it, and the more you think about it, the more you lose it!

Zhao Tingmei is angry, just like he found that his wife and concubine had a new love, and he found another man, but he was helpless.

Zhao Tingmei was so angry that she herself off, and she was only 38 years old when she died; It's a shame to say.

Who made him Zhao Guangyi's younger brother, Zhao Tingmei saw himself as Zhao Guangyi's younger brother; But Zhao Guangyi doesn't seem to see it that way.

Zhao Guangyi told outsiders many times: Zhao Tingmei's biological mother is not Mrs. Du, but Mrs. Chen Guo's Geng; That is, Zhao Tingmei is the illegitimate son of his father Zhao Hongyin and his nursing mother Geng, not the biological son of the Du family.

In order to kill Zhao Tingmei, Zhao Guangyi even shook out his father's ugly things; It can be seen how dark his heart is.

Zhao Tingmei has a good relationship with her nephew Zhao Yuanzuo, and Song Taizong is dealing with his brother; Everyone knew the emperor's intentions, but they did not dare to speak.

His son Zhao Yuanzuo, who has always been very obedient, has been unusual, and has been angry with his father for his uncle Zhao Tingmei.

Zhao Yuanzuo didn't understand his father's intentions, and he didn't understand why his father could be so cruel.

As a father, Zhao Guangyi doesn't understand what his son is thinking, he does so much to clear obstacles for his son; Why can't the son understand.

Fathers think that what they give their sons is the best thing in the world, and you should learn to be grateful; The son, on the other hand, thinks that the father does not understand him at all, and that what he gives is not what the son wants; You can't use the concept of a father to kidnap your son, and the father and son fell out.

Zhao Guangyi: Son, the country is more important than your uncle.

Zhao Yuanzuo: My uncle is the most important.

Zhao Guangyi: You have the country, and all the uncles in the world are yours.

Zhao Yuanzuo: I just need my uncle.

Zhao Guangyi: Son, is your father more important than your uncle?

Zhao Yuanzuo: My uncle is the most important.

Without Zhao Tingmei, there is no soul, and when Zhao Yuanzuo learned the news of his uncle's death, he had become a different person.

Zhao Yuanzuo was thinking, he used to think that being an emperor was to protect this beautiful world; But the world doesn't seem to be as beautiful as he imagined before, and his father even has his own brother in his hands for the throne.

Zhao Yuanzuo thought again, he used to think that if he became the emperor, he would have to protect his cherished people; But the uncle is gone, and the father has gone mad for the throne; It's no longer a loved one I know.

Since his father can go crazy for the throne, then Zhao Yuanzuo can also go crazy for not wanting the throne.

This country is not the country that Zhao Yuanzuo wants, so don't want it; When Zhao Guangyi was immersed in the pleasure of his brother's death, news suddenly came that his son Zhao Yuanzuo, who had always been very optimistic, went crazy.

Zhao Yuanzuo began to go crazy because he couldn't accept the fact that his uncle died, and killed people indiscriminately because of a trivial matter.

Zhao Guangyi began to be dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanzuo: "When I was your age, I led the army to fight, but you went crazy because of a little thing!" What kind of system? ”

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the palace held a banquet and celebrated all over the world; Officials of the imperial court and members of the royal family all ran to the palace to attend the banquet, and everyone was in high spirits.

At this time, Zhao Yuanzuo was not invited to the banquet, but squatted alone in a corner of the mansion and closed himself.

Because no one called Zhao Yuanzuo to attend the banquet, this old man lost his temper; After drinking, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he began to set fire to the palace.

Song Taizong was furious, "This son is very similar to me except for being handsome, but he is indecisive in other aspects; I still love to talk about feelings, and now I go crazy and burn the palace, which is worth it! ”

Zhao Guangyi ordered that his eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo, be demoted to a commoner; Later, at the request of the prime minister and civil and military officials, it was arranged in the South Palace; Send someone to guard this unfilial son.

But Zhao Guangyi will die after all, and he passed the throne to his third son Zhao Heng before he died; Zhao Yuanzuo did not inherit the throne, but was just a poor "madman".

After Song Zhenzong ascended the throne, he restored the title of his brother Zhao Yuanzuo, and the two were brothers after all; Zhao Heng gave his half-brother a lot of official positions and was very friendly to this brother.

After Zhao Heng became the emperor, Zhao Yuanzuo never went crazy again, although he was not the emperor, he had everything in glory and wealth; Lived sixty-two years.

If Zhao Yuanzuo was born in an ordinary family, then his benevolence and filial piety are all shining points; But there are no ifs in this world.

Zhao Yuanzuo is a member of the royal family and the eldest son of the emperor; It is the heir to the throne that everyone is optimistic about, but the person who sits in this position is not allowed to have feelings.

The moment Zhao Yuanzuo learned the news of his uncle's death, his worldview began to collapse.

The country is no longer the same country, and the books left by the sages state that this behavior is wrong; But everyone thinks that his father Zhao Guangyi's approach is correct.

The world abandoned Zhao Yuanzuo, so Zhao Yuanzuo also chose to abandon this world.

pretending to be crazy and stupid to make his father give up on himself, and from then on he will only be an ordinary person; No longer accepts the shackles brought by this country, this is the choice made by Zhao Yuanzuo.

Zhao Yuanzuo's choice seems to be a tragedy, but it is nothing less than a blessing, after pretending to be crazy and stupid, the risk has never harassed him again; Therefore, he is older than his brother Zhao Heng.

Zhao Yuanzuo went crazy, and Zhao Heng went to see the brother of a fellow mother; But there were people walking around the house where Zhao Yuanzuo lived.

These people were sent by Song Taizong to protect Zhao Yuanzuo, not so much to protect, but to put Zhao Yuanzuo under house arrest for the sentry posts around the house.

Zhao Heng ignored these people who were monitoring Zhao Yuanzuo, only to feel that his father had done too much; walked straight to the room where Zhao Yuanzuo lived, but was blocked by two people.

The two men, one tall and one short, were dressed in civilian clothes; But at first glance, it is the person of the Imperial City Division.

The tall man asked Zhao Heng what was the matter and why he came to King Wei's Mansion (Zhao Yuanzuo was canonized as King Wei).

Zhao Heng was not happy when he saw the tall man with a face full of meat, and replied a little unhappily: "You can control it if you want to come!" ”

Zhao Heng's words were tough and impulsive, and the tall man looked confused; So he asked, "Are you ......?"

Before the tall man finished speaking, he saw Qi Zhen, the official of the Wei Palace, running over and bowing to Zhao Heng and saying, "The third prince has arrived, and the villain has not been able to meet him from afar!" ”

When the tall man and the short man saw the housekeeper call Zhao Heng the third prince, they knew that the person in front of them was not ordinary; hurriedly followed behind and bowed to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng saw that the three of them were attentive, so he said: "Xiao Wang came to see my brother, can't you!" ”

Zhao Heng's words obviously had a questioning tone, Qi Zhen was stunned, stared at him in a daze and did not speak.

Because Wei Wangfu received an edict from the emperor, Zhao Yuanzuo could not interact with anyone during the period of "house arrest"; But Zhao Heng and Zhao Yuanzuo are brothers of the same mother, and it is normal for the younger brother to come to visit the elder brother.

After all, Qi Zhen is a scheming official, and he wants to carry out the emperor's edict; I also have to take care of the face of the three princes.

If you can't figure out that the third prince is the emperor in the future, Qi Zhen is a housekeeper like a dog; If you offend the future emperor, will there be good fruit to eat?

Qi Zhen pondered for a while, walked up to the tall man and the short man and whispered; The tall man and the short man immediately led Zhao Heng to the room where Zhao Yuanzuo lived......
