"Official, in addition to King Kang, the Emperor Taishang has twenty-five princes." Li Gang said coldly.

Zhao Huan, who was eating the eggplant box with bean paste stuffing, bit half of it, and stopped without biting down.

He carefully counted it, among Zhao Ji's sons, in addition to those who died early, there were really twenty-five other princes.

Twenty-six princes......

Zhao Ji, how big of a hole did you leave for me? Zhao Huan was completely stunned.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "These twenty-six princes should still be in the capital." ”

He said this because in his memory, when Jingkang changed, Zhao Guangyi's department should have been served in one pot, and only Zhao Gou was left.

Then these twenty-five princes should all be in the capital.

"Some time ago, when the eight kings entered Beijing, the twenty-five princes all went out of Beijing overnight, and the situation was in crisis, and the ministers themselves were difficult to protect, and these more than 20 princes are now missing." Li Gang looked at Zhao Huan and said.

Zhao Huan was silent, butterfly effect.

There is absolutely no problem with the original intention of recovering Yanyun by himself.

Then, in order to prevent Zhao Huan from purging, Qimen directly chose to rebel. These twenty-five princes did not stay in the capital and ran away directly.

Because I don't know the real purpose of Bamen's entry into Beijing, whether it is to be a regent or to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne, it is natural to run.

"Does the official family know about the Eight Kings Rebellion in the former Jin Dynasty?" Li Gang asked worriedly.

[Reminder of historical events: In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the turmoil of the Eight Kings Rebellion for 16 consecutive years directly led China to enter the era of the Great Schism, which lasted for 273 years. 】

I know well! Zhao Huan said angrily.

Of course, what he is more worried about now is whether his Great Song Dynasty will give birth to the Rebellion of the Twenty-six Kings?

It's terrifying to think about!

"Official, even if the emperor is not good, let's raise him to glory, out of sight. Then you can set up a memorial arch and let these princes return to Beijing. Li Gang naturally knows the temper of the official, and whoever raises the problem will solve it.

Zhao Huan nodded, worthy of Li Gang! This trick is really skillful.

"And then catch them all? Kill them all? Good idea! Zhao Huan nodded.

This is a good idea, this group of eggless princes, when the country is in trouble, they don't perform well, but when they engage in infighting, Zhao Huan believes that they are a good hand.

But if Zhao Huan raises Zhao Jirong, and then issues an edict to the world, let these princes return to Beijing and continue to live a comfortable life, most of them should return to Beijing.

Will they be able to give up the bustling life in Bianjing? It's very difficult, it's not that Zhao Huan hasn't seen the Great Song Dynasty outside of Bianjing.

Before Zhao Huan's words fell, everyone looked at the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in amazement......

This emperor is a bit violent, is this to destroy the blood of the emperor?

"What's wrong? Eat, this eggplant box with bean paste filling is fried on the outside and inside inside, and it tastes good. Zhao Huan looked left and right, and said with some doubts.

He didn't know why his courtiers were surprised, and in Zhao Huan's understanding, what was this waste left for?

All the fallen horses are.

As long as Zhao Gou really established a small court in the south, then these princes have a decent kind of learning, wouldn't it be endless?

"Nothing." Li Gang took a mouthful and began to pick up rice in his mouth, without saying a word.

Zhao Huan is a little reminisced at this time, this is the live version of Jun Bumi's lost minister.

He thought for a while, then said with a smile: "My benevolence is for the people of the world. These princes should also be treated differently. ”

"If there is no sign of rebellion, I will naturally not kill them. When I say catch them all, I mean the prince who shows signs of rebellion, and he will never be able to stay. ”

"Don't kill it, these more than 20 princes are in the capital, and there may be palace changes at any time, I am not very relieved."

"And." Zhao Huan said halfway through and said solemnly to Li Gang and the others.

"From today on, the Son of Heaven will break the law and be guilty of the same crime as the common people. What the golden dog can do, why can't I do it. Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang with a smile and said.

I hope Li Gang can understand the meaning of his words.

Li Gang's eyes became a little strange, looked at Zhao Huan and said, "Official, are you talking about Wan Yansheng stealing wine and being beaten?" ”

Zhao Huan nodded, he knew that this matter was still known from the documents of the envoys from the Song Dynasty to the Jin Kingdom.

[Reminder of historical events: At the beginning of the establishment of the Jin State, the financial resources were also extremely limited, in order to deal with the large-scale war with the Liao State, Jin Taizu swore with the royal family and relatives and officials that the money in the treasury could only be used for war, and it was absolutely forbidden to use it for other purposes. 】

[Wan Yan Sheng secretly received a sum of money to improve the palace food, but Wan Yan Xian also found out and reported it to Wan Yan Zonghan, Wan Yan Zonghan united with many princes and asked for the punishment of the Emperor of the Jin State Wan Yan Sheng, and the Emperor of the Jin State Wan Yan Sheng was beaten by the two flowers. 】

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang, is there another hidden story?

Li Gang shook his head, but judging from this single incident, it was Wan Yansheng who established the image of a virtuous monarch who committed the same crime as the common people when the Son of Heaven broke the law.

But nothing can be looked at in isolation.

"The official family is driving in person, can you know about Wanyan Zonghan? He is the western commander of the Jin country! It's also a clan relative! The official thinks this matter is as simple as a spanking? This is completely the performance of Emperor Wan Yan Sheng of the Jin Kingdom, who is no longer able to control the court situation. ”

"What's more, where is the reason why the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people?" Li Gang shook his head.

"Oh? Lee Dazai, is there a problem with this statement? Zhao Huan nodded, and finally got to the point, as far as you ancients would quote the scriptures?

I would too, and I used it wrong!

Li Gang nodded and said, "Taishi Gong's "Historical Records: The Biography of Shang Jun" once said that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. That's the prince, not the Son of Heaven. The official family, the Son of Heaven is not guilty, nor can he be guilty. ”

Li Gang clearly knows that the official family is not very familiar with some classics, maybe he didn't listen to the lectures of the prince and young master when he was a child, but this is nothing, the Great Song Dynasty does not have high requirements for the official family.

The current official family is wise enough, and people can't know everything.

"In other words, is the Emperor not guilty?" Zhao Huan mentioned Li Gang, and he was still thinking about how to turn this sentence into a legal basis for killing Zhao Ji.

The eggplant box that Li Gang was holding fell on the table, and he knew that it was not that the official family didn't know that there was a problem with this sentence, but that he knew that he deliberately said so.

The purpose of the official family is not to kill those waste princes at all, but to kill the emperor.

Even if he does not hesitate to borrow this sentence adapted and evolved from the expectations of the people, and let himself fall into the category of guilt, he has to do this.

Why? Is there any benefit to doing this? Li Gang frowned and thought for a long time before he stretched his brows.

"The official's plan and vision are so long-term." Li Gang bowed and said.

Zhao Huan nodded, that's right, he has a very weak hanging, but no matter how weak he is, he can still remind him.

He just wanted to use this sentence to kill Zhao Ji.

Obviously, Li Gang understood the meaning of the new emperor's words, while the other courtiers looked at the officials and prime ministers who were playing dumb riddles with a confused expression.

Sometimes a whole bunch of smart people. Sitting at a table, you will be very disappointed, and even doubt yourself, because you can't understand what others are saying, and the official family and Dazai seem to have reached some kind of consensus, but they can't understand.
