Chapter 532: Four Key Points (II)
When Yang Huairen said the fourth point, he raised his head and looked at the Empress Dowager Gao with a smile on his face.
Empress Dowager Gao recognized the four points he put forward, but since Yang Huairen also thought that the support of the royal family surnamed Zhao was the key point, why did he provoke King Pu and trample him to the end?
Grandpa Ye, who was standing at the door, also seemed to feel that what Yang Huairen said and did seemed to be a little inconsistent, he was angry with Yang Huairen in front of King Pu's Mansion today, and he still interjected at this time, "Grandpa Yang, what you said is reasonable, so you don't have to do it today." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, as if he was saying this to the Empress Dowager Gao.
Empress Dowager Gao's face also became solemn, "I heard Gonggong Ye say that you insisted on seeking justice in front of King Pu today, but you told him that everything you did was for the sake of the palace, what is the reason?" ”
Yang Huairen didn't panic, and said slowly, "What Weichen said and did seems to be contradictory, but in fact, it is not what His Highness thinks.
Over the past hundred years, the number of the royal family surnamed Zhao has reached thousands, although most of them have not participated in politics at the moment, and they do not seem to have influence, but in fact, they are not to be underestimated in terms of financial resources or power.
Or if you mention a person from any of them, the power is not necessarily very big, but if they are united, the power will be big enough, so big that no one can shake their surname Zhao.
Let's not talk about the people, just in the DPRK and China, which civil and military generals have nothing to do with them, no connection of interests, and no friendship?
Perhaps Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager's previous plan was to win over Zhao Zonghui and promise a high amount of money to let him persuade other royal families surnamed Zhao that the current official family is not a suitable official family.
But has His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager ever thought that even if they can be allowed to go against the official family, the benefits are not necessarily Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, and it is very likely that the ultimate benefit is still their own royal family surnamed Zhao.
Just like Zhao Zonghui repeatedly emphasized in front of Weichen today, the surname Zhao in this world belongs to their Zhao family.
Such a consciousness is deep-rooted, an innate pride, do you think he would support a person with a foreign surname and overthrow their Zhao family's rule over the world?
Even if he is a person with bad intentions like Zhao Zonghui, what is he secretly contacting Da Liao for? If today's official family can't be an official family, Zhao Zonghui will use external forces, and then encourage the royal family surnamed Zhao to push him to the throne, instead of a person with a foreign surname! ”
Although Yang Huairen's expected situation was somewhat different from Empress Dowager Gao's plan, in terms of reason, Yang Huairen said it very clearly, and it also moved Empress Dowager Gao.
She now also feels that she really underestimated the royal family surnamed Zhao before, and now she looks at them as if they are scattered, and most of them are also the temperament of some gentlemen, but if they condense their strength together, it is also a very powerful force.
Fortunately, when she knew that the relationship between Zhao Zonghui and Liao Envoy Yelu Didi was not as simple as it seemed, she had to suspect that Zhao Zonghui had always supported her purpose, and maybe it was not as simple as she originally imagined.
She is suspicious by nature, judging from today's events, is there a possibility that she is using Zhao Zonghui in her heart, and Zhao Zonghui is also using her?
Zhao Zonghui may have hidden his heart very deeply, but if you think about it carefully, no one can guarantee that Zhao Zonghui does not have a trace of desire for power.
If she stood up to seize the imperial power that belonged to the royal family surnamed Zhao, Zhao Zonghui suddenly turned her face, and with the help of the huge external force from the Khitans, would she seize this opportunity to sit on the throne of the emperor?
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill in her back, and she was a little afraid, maybe the plan she had been brewing for a long time almost turned into an emperor's new dress made for Zhao Zonghui.
If you look at it this way, Yang Huairen's actions today are really for her good, and invisibly help her solve an opponent who is very likely to give her a counterattack at a critical moment in advance.
But the problem also arises, Zhao Zonghui has betrayed the country, and now Yang Huairen has been brought down in an alternative and risky way, but as for the fourth key point he just mentioned, how can she suppress the backlash from the royal family surnamed Zhao?
Yang Huairen secretly observed the changes in Empress Dowager Gao's expression, although he didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but from these sad or joyful expressions, he seemed to capture Empress Dowager Gao's thoughts.
Without waiting for Empress Dowager Gao to ask, Yang Huairen spoke first, "Now that King Pu has fallen, King Pu's Mansion still exists." And the gold-lettered signboard of Pu Wangfu is the biggest bargaining chip that Her Majesty the Empress Dowager can pinch in her hands and deal with the royal family surnamed Zhao. ”
Empress Dowager Gao didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, and asked suspiciously, "How do you say this?" ”
"It's simple."
Yang Huairen continued, "Among these royal families, they do have their own ideas and interests, but one thing is the same, that is, their status in the entire royal family is divided into high and low.
It's not that the title of a nobleman on their heads is high, but the right to speak in the royal family surnamed Zhao, and this right to speak represents the actual power and status in the royal family.
Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, what do you mean by this right to speak? ”
Empress Dowager Gao suddenly realized, it turned out that Yang Huairen had already figured out where the breakthrough point of the royal family surnamed Zhao was.
As we all know, when Renzong Zhao Zhen was in power, he did not have adult heirs, so he succeeded Zhao Zongshi, the thirteenth son of Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County at that time, as his son.
Later, Zhao Zongshi succeeded to the throne as emperor and changed his name to Zhao Shu, that is, Song Yingzong, the husband of Empress Dowager Gao.
During the reign of Yingzong, for the definition of the identity of his biological father Zhao Yunrang, there was a major event that the whole country continued to debate for 18 months, that is, the imperial examination title incident called "Pu Yi" by later historians.
The final result was that Yingzong had to belittle nearly half of the officials in the court at that time in order to get a proper name for his biological father, and the two current prime ministers, Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang, were the two representatives who were degraded in this incident.
Zhao Yunrang was also posthumously named King Pu Anyi, and his second son Zhao Zongpu became the first heir of King Pu, and at the same time led the Dazong Zheng Temple, becoming the honorary patriarch of the royal family surnamed Zhao.
And the most immediate impact of this matter is that whoever in the royal family can get the title of King Pu can be appointed as the main temple of Dazong and lead the entire royal family surnamed Zhao as the honorary patriarch of the royal family.
Empress Dowager Gao fully understood what Yang Huairen meant when he said that the Pu Wangfu was still there, and a Pu Wangfu without the Pu King was the key to the Empress Dowager Gao's ability to use it to control the royal family surnamed Zhao.
