Chapter 301: Cannon Fodder in the Beginning
The second prince, this is not very important in an ordinary dynasty, maybe there is a big prince in front of him, and it may not be a descendant, a small second prince, if he dies, he will die.
But Zhao Xin is different, Renzong has a total of 3 sons, and the other two are all born after a day or two, and they died young, but only Zhao Xin lived to the age of three, and he is the heir of Shangrenzong, the only one who is likely to grow up.
Now that the heir is dead, it's like the sky falling, the feudal dynasty, although the emperor is very important, but the heir is also very important, once the emperor has no heirs, it will even affect the exercise of his imperial power.
However, what is even more strange is that those Zaifu, they know very well that before, Renzong released the news, saying that Miao Ding is Zhao Xin, and these news have been confirmed, in fact, why Renzong will spare no effort to promote all this.
Now everything is clear, I don't know what the reason is, Renzong retreated, then Zhao Xin's death must be a fake death, and Miao Ding is Zhao Xin's other identity.
These Zaifu, who had already made some preparations, actually understood that Zhao Xin's death should be the result of Renzong's deliberate balance, but no one expected that it would be so soon, so the title was completed, and it was announced.
The officials at the bottom who didn't know everything were busy in a panic, and some even chose to go directly to the king of Runan County, which became Zhao Yunrang's unexpected joy, and his heart was already a little swollen, in his opinion, as long as he spent a little time in this period, it was the best time to push his son into the heir to the throne.
Zhao Yunrang only considered the reasonableness, he didn't think about it, why Renzong would agree, if Renzong really didn't have any preparation at all, is this possible?
But no matter what Zhao Yunrang thinks, he can't figure out how Renzong wants to counteract, if it is a countermeasure, can't he do it before proposing Zhao Xin's death, really Renzong hid Zhao Xin for a few years, he may be able to detonate this and make Renzong a day of trouble, but it is impossible to directly threaten Zhao Xin, he can only assassinate endlessly.
Not to mention the various Zaifu with ghosts in his heart, and not to mention Zhao Yunrang, who is crazy about stealing joy, for the officials at the bottom, this year is an unfortunate year, even the second son of the emperor is dead, it can be said that Renzong has a total of 3 sons, all of them are dead, so who else can inherit this position.
Even some people pointed the finger at Miao Guifei, the concubine who had just become a concubine, that is, Zhao Xin's mother, he must take responsibility and must abolish his position as a concubine.
Of course Renzong will not pay attention to him, Zai Fu and Zhao Yunrang, the same, even if the voice of the bottom is very high, even if someone speaks bluntly, but in the end, Renzong and the top management did not accept it, and they gradually died out after a while.
If it is the death of an adult prince, there will be a lot of movement, maybe a more grand funeral will be held, Zhao Xin's age is still young, even if he is named King Yong, he is just an ordinary prince, he is very young, and he has not even been in this position for a long time, without the participation of the entire center, it is impossible to have a state funeral, that is unreasonable.
In fact, this funeral, because Renzong was relatively low-key, and with the deliberate cover-up of someone with a heart, it was quite low-key.
An impossible person, if it is really grand, how to hide it, no one will think that this funeral is very important, and under the tacit understanding, it is very ordinary to pass this stage.
From the time this matter was raised, to the final end, it was only a decade, and it was over, Zhao Xin was buried, and buried in the imperial mausoleum, after this matter was done, in name, Renzong also lost the only prince.
Above the entire court, the atmosphere began to become delicate, and the Zaifu, who knew it well, secretly observed the situation, and some officials at the bottom began to keep talking about the problem of this heir.
However, most of them are officials below the sixth or seventh grade, and these officials, at most, only have the right to write books, and their influence on the court is very limited.
Their appearance only made the court chaotic a lot, but it seemed to bring a trend, a trend that seemed to be impossible to pass without a reserve.
Xue Yu actually did not leave Bianliang for a period of time after that, he paid attention to the development of things, and was deeply dissatisfied with the shamelessness of the king of Runan County, but unfortunately he did not have the slightest way, the throne of Runan County was high and powerful, especially the position of Zongzheng, in the entire Zhao and Song royal family, it was a very high position, not to mention his son, and it was possible to reach the top.
According to the agreement, when the news of the death of Yongwang Zhao Xin came, Xue Yu would take this appointment to Baozhou, which is also a military channel, and it will take about a day or two to arrive.
In Miaojiazhuang, at this time Miaojiazhuang has restored calm, at this moment, has been more than three months away from the war, under the efforts of people, began to rebuild, cement and bricks combined, the effect of the result, so that Miaojiazhuang has changed a look, into a new type of countryside.
Zhao Xin has been preparing to travel, to choose a suitable place, you need to go to see it in person, before the news of death comes, he is not safe, as long as it comes, if he dies or not, it will have a different impact on the succession, but later, according to the agreement with Renzong, the Nine Dragons will be opened, and the king of Runan County will soon be anxious.
The waiting time is always more torturous, but Zhao Xin can calm down and study some future subsystems, and finally achieve certain results.
When Xue Yu hurried up and entered Miaojiazhuang, Wang Song looked at Xue Yu who came back and sighed.
As the prince's housekeeper, Wang Song followed Zhao Xin, also for the sake of further progress in the future, but, with Zhao Xin's withdrawal, the dust finally settled, and he was unlikely to jump over, so he could only follow Zhao Xin, with his understanding of Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin is very mysterious and magical, and there may be a different result.
After Xue Yu left the capital and went to the stall of Miaojiazhuang, the court became more and more chaotic, and after Zhao Xin's cause of death was announced, the situation in the court, which had always been calm, changed abruptly, because this time, it was no longer a low-grade official, but a Hanlin bachelor.
After arriving in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy had actually changed, it was a combination of the imperial examination and the official system, a place for young scholars to raise hope and promotion, and a springboard.
As long as it is a younger official, perhaps an official with a heavier literary name, basically all have experience here, as far as Hanlin scholars are concerned, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty are all Hanlin scholars.
Looking at these names, you can know how noble this position is, and it can be said unceremoniously that such a person does not have to get involved in the party and government at all, even if anyone is in a position, such an official with pure knowledge and literary name needs to be chosen.
The most important thing is that this is the official of Sanpin, Wang Anshi was in the center at the beginning, when he was in charge of the government, that is, this position, Sanpin Hanlin Bachelor, above the court, is already a pivotal figure, he can even form a party, and a large number of people can be gathered under his command.
All the Zaifu and the officials of the six ministries looked at Sun Luan strangely, Sun Luan, who was in his forties, was quite talented and famous, and he was also one of the successors of the center's key training, the position of the Hanlin Bachelor was not as good as Han Qi's deputy envoy of the Privy Council, but he was also a rare high-ranking official, why did he propose this here.
Sun Luan represents of course the king of Runan County, not the side of the king of Runan County who is now close to him, he got closer earlier, as early as when Kaifeng Mansion was the official, he was very close to the king of Runan County, but then he was estranged, until the news of Zhao Xin's death came, he knew that it was Renzong's instructions, and then he approached again.
As a vote, he got such a request, in his opinion, it doesn't matter, he can already see his future, the release is the only one, fortunately, he is in the center, it is not too important, plus there is a promise from the king of Runan County, even if he has no future, he can be a rich man.
Of course, if in ten or twenty years, Renzong dies and Zhao Yunrang's son Zhao Zongshi succeeds to the throne, he may become Jaefu, which is also Zhao Yunrang's personal consent, which is also the root that drove him to make this decision.
Renzong looked at him, but Sun Pan looked at Renzong without hesitation, but in Renzong's eyes, he didn't see anger, but pity.
That's right, Renzong's heart is pity, Sun Luan is a favored official of Renzong, basically, Master Hanlin is a very noble official, and other government affairs, there is no connection, to a certain extent, holding this position, very few people are involved in the whirlpool, and starting from Renzong, this position is regarded as a means of cultivating reserve forces, or Zaifu.
If Sun Luan didn't have such a thing, he could have participated in political affairs, and even go further, and it may not be impossible to reach the top, but unfortunately, he participated in this, and he didn't need Renzong to make a move, thinking that he was just waiting for a weighty person to propose, so Sun Luan just bumped into it.
The king of Runan County unexpectedly got something impossible to get, which made him swell, and actually made a Hanlin bachelor propose the matter of the crown prince.
He just happened to get off the car along this, Zhao Xin's death has been launched, next, he must follow the script, step by step, if no one proposes it next, he must launch such a person, now, everything is just right.
Renzong glanced at everyone, and gathered the expressions of everyone in the hall to the bottom of their eyes, some who were familiar with Renzong, saw that Renzong was not angry, some strange, some smart people had already thought that Renzong had already made up his mind.
Sure enough, not long after, Renzong's voice sounded, although it was light, but it was very firm: "Since everyone has such an opinion, then go back and discuss, and after three days, the palace will nominate it!" ”
After speaking, Renzong asked the internal supervisor to announce his withdrawal from the dynasty, which was the first time in nearly 3 years that Renzong had withdrawn from the dynasty for no reason, but this sentence, like a nuclear bomb, swept the scene, and everyone was stunned.
