Chapter 272: Court Troubles (2)
Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng sat in a four-seated sedan chair with the support of the eunuch Zhou Huaizheng, and Yang Yanzhao followed Song Zhenzong into another four-seated sedan chair; Zhou Huaizheng and Qian Niuwei tightly escorted the two small sedan chairs, one after the other, and walked towards the gate of Yishu Garden.
After Zhang Di and Monday left Yishu Garden, Zhou Huaizheng was able to get close to Song Zhenzong and serve the emperor as a servant; If Zhang Di and Zhou are here, it will not be Zhou Huaizheng's turn to get close to the emperor.
Zhou Huaizheng's qualifications are shallower than Zhang Di's but deeper than Zhou Zhou's, but Zhang Di is a third-grade eunuch, and Zhou Huaizheng is only a fifth-grade eunuch; Zhang Di and the eunuch Liupin got along on Monday and intended to help, and Zhou Huaizheng was left out in the cold.
There is a way that the mountains do not turn around, Zhang Di and Zhou Yiyi followed Liu E Niangniang out; Zhou Huaizheng finally had the opportunity to offer his affection to the emperor.
After Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng sent Liu E and Chun Yu Wanyun away, he sat on the gazebo in the courtyard to breathe; Zhou Huaizheng hurriedly offered fragrant tea to the emperor, and stood behind him and waved a fan to cool him off mosquitoes.
Emperor Zhenzong saw that Zhou Huai was diligent and cautious, and said: "Li Guiren is still in the Whispering Pavilion!" ”
The emperor's words may have been unintentional, but Zhou Huaizheng had a heart.
Before this, Zhou Huaizheng didn't know who Li Guiren was at all, because Zhang Di didn't let him know about these things.
At this time, the emperor said that Zhou Huaizheng reacted quickly; Immediately nodded and said, "The meaning of the saint ......" Zhou Huaizheng finished his words and waited for the emperor to say the next words.
Emperor Zhenzong took a sip of fragrant tea and said, "Zhouzi, you have to serve Li Guiren well!" ”
Zhou Huaizheng immediately knelt down and bowed, and said, "The villain obeys orders!" The villain wants to wait for Li Guiren like waiting for the emperor, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup! ”
A smile appeared on Song Zhenzong's face, and Zhou Huaizheng had a simple conversation with Emperor Zhenzong; determined Zhou Huaizheng's status in Li Lanhui's heart.
After Li Lanhui became pregnant, she really entrusted the soon-to-be-born prince Zhao to Zhou Huaizheng.
Zhou Huaizheng later became Zhao Hui's companion, and Zhao Yingfu became Song Renzong; Zhou Huai Zhengfei can be described as soaring.
But Zhou Huaizheng and Kou Zhun were one party opposed to Liu E as the empress, trying to assist Song Renzong in his own government; As a result, Liu E cut off his head.
When Zhou Huaizheng was escorted to the execution ground for execution, he remembered the joke that Song Renzong had made with him before he became the emperor.
Song Renzong was named Zhao Huili before he became the emperor, and Zhou Huai was his companion; That is, a partner who accompanies Renzong to play together.
Every time Zhao Yingfu played with Zhou Huaizheng, he didn't shy away from calling him "Brother Zhou".
This call of the Zhou family's elder brother made Zhou Huaizheng's bones lighter, and he felt that the prince had the most relationship with him in the world, and he thought that he had a lot of face.
Zhao is versatile, has great calligraphy, and can also draw charm when painting horses; Zhou Huaizheng asked the prince to write him a few words as a reward.
The prince smiled and said, I'll draw you a horse.
Zhou Huaizheng thought to himself, how can he write a picture of the glory of painting horses? Just begged again and again to write a word.
The prince frowned, although he felt that Zhou Huaizheng was a little excessive, but it was for the sake of face; Still wrote a few words with a bit of prank, but also a little childish.
Zhou Huaizheng took it and took a look, and the words were "Brother Zhou's brother beheaded"; Zhou Huaizheng thought that the kid was naughty and didn't care about joking with himself, so he put it away and treasured it.
Unexpectedly, the prince's half-joking and half-serious "Zhou family's elder brother beheaded" turned into a prophecy, which really sent Zhou Huaizheng to the guillotine in the end.
This may be the most effective unpredictable prophet of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the time when Renzong was the crown prince to see that he did not know the current affairs and was not in the right position; He was foretold of the calamities to come......
Zhou Huaizheng got Song Zhenzong: "Zhouzi, you have to serve Li Guiren well!" After the oral command, he immediately rushed to the Whispering Pavilion to meet Li Lanhui; knelt on the ground and swore to the sky, saying that from now on he would be the protector of Li Guiren - Zhou Huaizheng had realized that Li Lanhui would give birth to a dragon son for the emperor.
After settling Li Lanhui, Emperor Zhenzong said that he was going to the early dynasty; also said that Yang Yanzhao went with him and asked Zhou Huaizheng to prepare a two-passenger sedan chair; One sits on him, one sits on Yang Yanzhao.
Zhou Huaizheng knelt on his knees and listened to the emperor's instructions, and immediately summoned 16 sedan chair drivers for two small sedan chairs; Let Emperor Zhenzong sit in a sedan chair, and Yang Yanzhao sit in another sedan chair; The emperor's guard Qianniuwei has more than 100 guards to escort him.
Emperor Zhenzong and Yang Yanzhao sat down in the two-seater sedan chair, and Zhou Huaizheng rode a horse behind the two-seater sedan chair; More than 100 guards of Qianniuwei escorted.
Emperor Zhenzong walked on the left side of the sedan chair and rode a horse on the right Qianniu Wei general Zhao Weizhong, and on the right was the left guard general Zhao Weixian.
Zhao Weizhong and Zhao Weixian are both grandsons of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin's grandson led Qianniuwei to protect Song Zhenzong, and the children seemed to feel a little strange.
It's really strange to think about, but I'm afraid this is the manifestation of the benevolence and wisdom of the True Emperor; It is also the basis for later generations of literati to write about him.
Zhao Heng, the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, created the "rule of Xianping", inherited and carried forward the spirit of founding the country of Song Taizu, and laid a solid foundation for the later rule of Renzong and Shenzong.
The development of history is so similar, Tang Taizong inherited the past and opened up the "rule of Zhenguan"; It laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, so that the Tang Dynasty has been praised by later generations.
Interestingly, between Tang Taizong and Tang Xuanzong, there was a Wu Zetian ruling the world; The Tang Dynasty developed to its heyday.
Song Zhenzong also inherited the past and opened up the future, and the "rule of Xianping" has lasted for more than 30 years; The Renzong Dynasty was still beautiful, so that the Song Dynasty had a more prosperous period than the Han and Tang dynasties; Many foreign scholars are willing to travel back to the Xianping period of the Song Dynasty to live.
And among the father and son of Song Zhenzong and Song Renzong, there was also a period similar to the governance of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty - Zhang Xianmingsu Empress Liu E's curtain to listen to the government.
Zhao Weizhong is the fourth son of Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Zhao Kuangyin, and was awarded the right Qianniuwei general, and the training envoy of the Xuzhou Assassin Shi Changzhou Regiment.
Zhao Weixian is the second son of Zhao Kuangyin's fourth son, Zhao Defang, awarded the general of Zuo Tunwei, relocated General Zuo Yulin, led the history of the state assassin, and added the general of Zuo Wei and the training envoy of the Linghe Zhou regiment.
Zhao Weizhong is 7 years younger than Zhao Heng and 29 years old, Zhao Weixian is 11 years younger than Zhao Heng and 25 years old; The two are the grandsons of Zhao Kuangyin of the Zhao clan, and one is the son of Zhao Dezhao and the other is the son of Zhao Defang; Both of them called Emperor Zhenzong uncle, referred to as Uncle Huang.
The reason why Emperor Zhenzong brought his uncle Zhao Kuangyin's two grandsons, his two cousins, to his side as personal guards; It's all about making up for the psychological deficit.
Zhao Heng ascended the throne in the third year of Song Taizong Zhidao (997 AD), and the situation when he ascended the throne was very dangerous.
After Song Taizong became seriously ill, the open and secret struggle in the court for the establishment of a new emperor intensified; Song Taizong's queen Li and personal eunuch Wang Jien didn't like Zhao Heng - at that time, Zhao Heng was still called Zhao Yuankan, although he was already the prince, but as soon as Taizong died, it was still unknown whether he, the crown prince, could ascend the throne and be the emperor; And the ones who can influence the throne are the eunuchs Wang Jien and Empress Dowager Li.
The eunuch Wang Jien is very cowhideous, although this guy is a eunuch; He can lead his troops to fight and establish a lot of merits, and Li Shun rebelled in Shudi; It was Wang Jien who led the imperial army to quell it.
Even more cowhide than Wang Jien is the queen Li of Song Taizong, and the Li family has no heirs; I don't like Zhao Yuankan, but I like Zhao Yuankan's half-brother Zhao Yuanzuo.
Empress Li is not only the empress of Song Taizong, but also the younger sister of Li Jilong, the envoy of Shannan Jiedu.
Therefore, during Taizong's serious illness, Wang Jien secretly connected with the governor Li Changling, the commander of the palace, Li Jixun, and Hu Dan, the governor of the palace, and worked with Empress Li to establish Zhao Yuanzuo.
It should be said that Zhao Yuanzuo is an upright talent, but the government. The struggle has always been ugly; The feudal imperial power struggle in the Song court was even more cruel, and the bloodthirsty imperial power struggle pushed many people into the abyss of destruction, which is already incalculable.
On the night of the Double Ninth Festival in the second year of Yongxi (985 AD), the mansion of Zhao Yuanzuo, the eldest son of Song Taizong, suddenly burned until dawn.
According to the confessions of palace guards, palace maids and other personnel, Song Taizong believed that the arsonist was Zhao Yuanzuo, who had contracted "madness" as early as two years ago.
In order to show punishment, Zhao Yuanzuo was demoted to a concubine; Secluded in the South Palace.
Zhao Yuanzuo has been quite intelligent since he was a child, and he is deeply loved by his uncle and father; At that time, many people thought that he would become the future heir to the throne, so why did he "go crazy"......
