Chapter 151 Always prepare for the rear under the elbow

The night went down.

Zhao and Ju dragged some heavy steps out of Jigu Hall (i.e., the Imperial Academy), and then walked back to the Funing Hall as a dormitory.

As the Son of Heaven, he could have taken the imperial chariot of the Son of Heaven, but now he is busy every day, and when he first takes over the power of the world, he doesn't even have time to drink saliva, so he has no time to exercise, and he regards this section of walking as a daily exercise.

When the palace maid undressed him, he habitually shouted: "Ayu." ”

The palace maid's hand trembled slightly, and Zhao Heju realized that she was not Han Yu. Because in the eyes of outsiders, Han Yu is very favored by him, Han Yu's identity is completely different from before, and she is named Jieyu.

Zhao and Ju have a good relationship with Empress Dowager Yang, and also have a credit to Han Yu, she is very good at taking care of people, and she has been by Zhao and Ju's side for a long time, when she was in Yuzhang Villa, she was the most able to coax the whole family to be happy, so the whole family was relieved to let her come to wait for Zhao and Ju. Every day when I was with the Empress Dowager Yang, I talked about some anecdotes about Zhao and Ju when they were young, such as learning to ride a horse and falling, climbing a tree to pick fruits, and teaching the servants at home to read and write with Zhao and Rui. These others saw that it was just a short matter in the parents, but the Empress Dowager Yang listened to it with relish, especially the matter of teaching the servants in the family to read and learn arithmetic, which made the Empress Dowager Yang's heart pound.

Empress Dowager Yang removed the curtain, but she was used to being in power, and suddenly became idle, which made her very depressed, and many palace maids in the palace had to release a batch every few years, although they had accumulated some money in the palace, it might not be enough for a lifetime. Therefore, Han Yu gently persuaded Empress Dowager Yang that she might as well gather the palace maids in one place, and teach them to read and learn to read and count in their leisure time every day, which is not only convenient for calling, but also for them to leave the palace in the future.

In the past two days, Empress Dowager Yang and Han Yu have been busy with this matter, so those who served Zhao and Ju replaced the rest of the palace maids.

Zhao Youju waved his hand: "You go down." ”

"Yes."

The palace maid left the Funing Palace, Zhao Heju put his body on the imperial couch, and let out a long sigh. Although his body was extremely tired, his mind was still excited, and for a while, he couldn't fall asleep.

The court dispute a few days ago seemed to be still happening, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

After these years of hard work, no one in the DPRK can question the legitimacy of his accession to the throne. Even Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng and other people who were originally the king of Ji were unhappy, but now they are silent - the people are just rumors that the king of Ji killed his father and killed his brother, but Zhao Youju took out the evidence that the king of Ji bought the imperial doctor to bring poisonous powder to the prince in the seam of his clothes. Even though King Ji never killed the king, he did do the unethical thing of losing his relatives and filial piety.

As for the party of relatives, they were originally afraid of Shi Miyuan's persecution and formed a group with Zhen Dexiu and others, and as soon as Shi Miyuan collapsed, their own families looked down on each other. Yang Shi is a smart person, seeing the means of the Son of Heaven to clean up Shi Miyuan, he was extremely afraid in his heart, and wrote a secret recital to the Empress Dowager Yang, asking the Empress Dowager Yang to remove the curtain at home, so that the Empress Dowager Yang took the initiative to remove the curtain the next day.

Then there are Xuanxuan, Xue Ji and others, they are now happily receiving the political vacuum left by Shi Miyuan, they naturally want to install private individuals, but Zhao and Ju's Son of Heaven in the past few months is not in vain, most of the people who are installed are not allowed, especially military power, Zhao and Ju directly appointed Qin Dashi as the former secretary of the Quanzhi Palace, and Xing Yuanzhi as the secretary of the Quanzhi guard. All the officials knew that this was a temporary arrangement by the Son of Heaven for security reasons, but no one attacked the identities of the two.

In the past few days, Xuan Xuan, Xue Ji and others and Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng and others, in order to promote and depose, argued endlessly in the court, Zhao and Ju only did not know, but secretly used the system of "hall elimination" to put the people he selected in the past few months on the deputy positions everywhere. This was originally Shi Miyuan's method of abusing power, but Shi Miyuan still had to pretend to be in the name of the Son of Heaven, and Zhao Heju was completely unnecessary. Unconsciously, Zhao Heju, who originally had no foundation in the court, now has some real cronies.

But Xuan Xuan, Xue Ji and the others don't plan to kick away, and it is impossible to kick them away, as soon as the people he supports are young and shallow, kicking out Xuan Xuan and others will only cheapen Zhendexiu and other science people. Second, he also needs Xuan Xuan Xue Ji to fight with Zhende Xiu Wei Weng, so as not to let those nerds of the so-called righteous gentlemen get angry and point fingers at some of his decisions.

In some small details, he showed sympathy for the ministers everywhere, for example, the courtiers above the third rank were given seats, although this was inconsistent with the so-called "ancestral law", but except for two young officials who complained a few times, no one in the Manchu Dynasty objected.

He needs these people to check and balance in order to stabilize the Great Song Center. Today's events, although they made him angry, could only be put on for the time being. Next, what he has to do is to clean up Shi Miyuan's party in the local area. Originally, these people could be cleaned up slowly, but Li Quan's ambition still disrupted his steps. Some of these people can be used by him, and some must be eliminated.

Shi Miyuan has local influence, and the person who is closest to him is his nephew Shi Songzhi. This person is ambitious and talented, does not like the set of science and righteousness and light utilitarianism, and is decisive and vindictive, it is rumored that he once lectured in the mountain temple, was humiliated by the monks in the temple, and actually burned the temple at night. Such a person must be strictly controlled, but the official position he is in makes Zhao Heju feel a little relieved, he is just doing office work in the Hubei Road System and Construction Division, and he has not yet taken charge of himself. And with this human nature, Zhao Heju doesn't think that he will have too much loyalty to Shi Miyuan, even if he is Shi Miyuan's nephew, he is only friendly with Shi Miyuan for power. This person can be used, but he must not be placed in a critical position, otherwise he will do great things because of his selfish desires.

The second is Hu Yu, who is different from Shi Songzhi, not only good at governing the place, but also extremely long in poetry. Because of his close relationship with Shi Miyuan's father Shi Hao, he was trusted by Shi Miyuan, and only Shi Miyuan was the first to look forward to everything, on the other hand, he was the grandson of Hu Quan, who had tried his best to fight Qin Hui, and his ancestral ambition still exists. Moreover, this person has always prided himself on his loyalty, and he is currently known in Fuzhou, although he is one of the "four woods" of the Shi Party, he is also a worthy object. Through him, the rest of the local members of the Shi Party can be stabilized, and when the big things are decided, they can find a suitable position to idle him.

is Zhao Shanxiang again, who is serving as the governor of Zhenjiang Mansion, he is originally a clan, and he is also a great Confucian, proficient in Hong Fan, and knows military affairs. After all, he is a clan, and he is attached to Shi Miyuan, but he may not be loyal, or in other words, he is only attached to the imperial power seized by Shi Miyuan, not Shi Miyuan himself.

These three people can be fought for, and their position is also extremely critical, one in Xiangyang, one in Fuzhou, and one in Zhenjiang. As long as they are stable, then the rest of Shi Miyuan's local henchmen can only be helpless.

Shi Songzhi can be tempted by power, Hu Yu can be righteous, and Zhao Shanxiang can be bound by clan friendship.

Thinking of these people, Zhao and Ju felt a little funny, in the eyes of the people who wrote history books later, these people attached to Shi Miyuan, should be regarded as a "traitorous party", but because Shi Miyuan advocated science, and those who wrote history books were precisely the inadequate line of science, they took out Han Yanxuan, who was trying to recover and was determined to fight, and put it side by side with Qin Hui, but let go of Shi Miyuan, who had abolished the country and the people without authorization, and killed the minister, the reason was that Shi Miyuan single-handedly helped Zhu Xi, a great son of science who had been overturned and knocked down, to help him up.

The party of the literati is the same and different, and the false Taoism of the physicists can be seen from this.

After Shi Miyuan came to power, they spared no effort to crack down on the so-called "Han Party", and all those who supported the Kaixi Northern Expedition were persecuted, and even Xin Qiji and Lu You were falsely accused of "Party and Korean reform" and took away their positions. Ye Shi, another veteran who can theoretically compete with Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan, was also deprived of his post and enshrined in the shrine for thirteen years.

"It's a pity that Ye Zhengze is dead." Thinking of Ye Shi, Zhao Heju couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, this person is extremely talented, and the main advocacy of meritorious work is in line with the positive and enterprising trend of thought of the citizen class and the merchant class in the early stage of industrial and commercial development.

Thinking about it, before I knew it, I turned to today's daytime dispute. If he persecuted the ministers with the coercion of the Son of Heaven and made the ministers accept Yang Miaozhen, the result would be that the Manchu Dynasty would be sick. Therefore, for the time being, there is only a curve method, and the battle between temples and temples is not in wisdom.

It's just that Yang Miao is really ......

After the third watch in the night, he snorted slightly, he had a beautiful dream, in his dream, Yang Miaozhen was the same as four years ago.

He tossed and turned, but finally fell asleep, and some people also tossed and turned, but it was always difficult to fall asleep.

This person is Shi Miyuan.

Shi Miyuan had already left the Hanging Island at this time, and was on a ship heading from the Hanging Island to Liuqiu. He was accompanied by some of his cronies, but minions like Wan Xin were either imprisoned or killed.

Until now, he still felt like a dream, and in an instant, the power of the DPRK and China, which he had painstakingly managed for many years, collapsed. After calming down from the initial panic, uneasiness, anger, and grief, he began to ponder why this was the case.

That young genius, who has endured for many years and deceived his trust, is it because he is too stupid, or is his method too clever?

This question is still bothering him these days. can't be said to be stupid, because he dealt with Yang, Zhen Dexiu and others cleanly, if it weren't for Deng Ruoshui's insertion of a rod in the middle, he would have been able to drive all these political enemies out of the court like a devastating one.

In that case, at least until he dies, the power of the Great Song Dynasty will be in the hands of him, the prime minister.

Unfortunately, just as he was closest to victory, he fell from the clouds.

"Seeking fresh water in vain, training deputy envoys for the freshwater regiment ......"

This is the new position of Shi Miyuan, who was once the most powerful in the world, and he was always worried that he would be exiled to Qiongya, but now he doesn't have to, because he will be exiled to a more remote and unknown exile.

In fact, before being escorted onto the ship and leaving the hanging island, Shi Miyuan had imagined that the officials loyal to him would reverse themselves again and save him again. However, he was hidden in a wooden box and sent to the hanging island, and no one knew his whereabouts or whereabouts, and many people even believed that he had been secretly executed by the Son of Heaven, but it was kept secret. After arriving at the hanging island, Meng Xisheng, who escorted him, forced him to write dozens of letters, each letter was written by himself, if he did not comply, he threatened with his relatives and family, he had to act according to his words, these letters were just to report safety, saying that he was guilty and degraded, and would go to the stream to beg, so that the recipient of the letter did not have to be remembered, and he should be a good student and do things, and he should not act rashly. Shi Miyuan knew that these letters were written for his local cronies, and after writing them, he couldn't help but sneer: "The tree is falling and scattered, and the true appearance is ...... The old man has fallen, what can these little monkeys do? Or send a message to the official family, be careful that Li Quan is serious. ”

"Don't worry about this, Mr. Shi, there are five warships and 2,000 elite soldiers, and they are now near the East China Sea." Meng Xisheng was not afraid that he would know: "The official family must be cautious, otherwise how can you live to this day!" ”

"Official...... I don't know who the official family is confused about, and they collude with you Haiyi ......" Shi Miyuan said angrily: "The Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan did not die in the hands of the Jin people, but he will die in the hands of your Haiyi!" ”

"Haha......" Meng Xisheng laughed at that time.

Shi Miyuan thought of the anecdote that Yu Tianxi had talked to him about Huo Chongcheng's pursuit and murder of his father when he was young, and his heart moved: "It must be the restaurant owner surnamed Huo, the old man is too careless, he just said that he is just a businessman, how much power he can do, but I don't know how much he can do!" ”

"Mr. Shi, anyway, you will know when you get to Liuqiu, so I am not afraid to tell you." Meng Xisheng sneered: "The land of the flow of the search is created by the official family when they were young, and the people who are seeking it are all the family members of the official family before they entered the heir Yi Palace. Flowing for every grass and tree, all owned by the official family, every soldier and every soldier, all of them are loyal to the official family. Huo Chongcheng held a group meeting in Lin'an, which was also instructed by the official family, you think that the official family is confused by him, but you have put the cart before the horse! ”

"It can't be!" Shi Miyuan shouted: "How old was he then!" ”

"If not, why are you here?" Meng Xisheng shook his head and said.

These nine words rolled in Shi Miyuan's heart repeatedly, and he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up in his clothes and pushed open the hatch. When the door opened, someone immediately asked, "Mr. Shi, what's the matter with you?" ”

"In this sea, are you still afraid that the old man will escape?" Shi Miyuan rushed angrily.

"The official family has orders to let you live to beg, not because I am afraid that you will escape, but because I am afraid of accidents." The man smiled, and under the lantern, a mouthful of white teeth was exposed.

Shi Miyuan snorted, returned to the cabin, and fell asleep with his head covered.

The ship had been at sea for nearly ten days and arrived later than scheduled because of a storm. When Tamsui's iconic White Tower appeared in the lookout's sight, Shi Miyuan was also invited to the deck.

Accompanying him is Meng Xisheng, these days, he has a good impression of Meng Xisheng, although this young man has a lot of sarcasm in his words, but he takes care of his life, not only sent a special person to serve, but also gave Shi Miyuan some books, and occasionally came to accompany Shi Miyuan to play chess and talk, so that he was not too lonely on the way.

As for the rest of the Shi Party, they don't have such good treatment.

"Mr. Shi, this is Liuqiu Road Tamsui Mansion, today's official family opened up the territory at the age of nine, Mr. Shi doesn't know." Pointing to the freshwater that was getting closer and closer, Meng Xi laughed and said, "If Mr. Shi had known, he would never have chosen the official family as the heir of King Yi." ”

"Nine-year-old...... Frontier ......" Shi Miyuan looked at the city that was getting closer and closer in a trance, if nothing else, he was only afraid that he would die here, and he would not be able to return to his homeland after death.

Thinking of this, he was extremely disgusted with this city he saw for the first time.

Note 1: The matter of poisoning dignitaries with medicine in the sewing of clothes actually happened in the Western Han Dynasty, when Huo Guang's wife, Mrs. Xian, ordered the female imperial physician to carry medicine powder and poisoned the queen of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty from the time of the cold, in order to help her daughter become the queen.

Note 2: Yang Shi's secret performance of Empress Dowager Yang's request to remove the curtain is a historical fact, but it was originally done by seeing the death of King Ji and fearing Shi Miyuan's means.
