Chapter 300: The Emperor's Second Son
In fact, the mentality of these people has long been in the hands of Renzong, and Renzong is still afraid that he will not investigate, as long as he checks, many things will be impossible to hide, and Renzong also deliberately released some of the news.
Zai Fu and the relatives family, after all, is an important family in this country, and the energy is very large, in addition to themselves, the dependence and nepotism affect many people, even if it is Fan Zhongyan, in the same year, old friends, and fellow villagers, there are also a lot, that Yueyang Lou Ji that has been passed down through the ages, isn't it what Teng Zijing asked Fan Zhongyan after he was degraded?
Miao Ding is the concubine of the Miao family, even if it is a big family, the concubine is not particularly important, and it is impossible to change one out of thin air, at that time it was just to hide Zhao Xin's identity, the purpose was to deceive Baozhou's side, and insert an identity, and there was no fraud.
Sure enough, in the pervasive investigation, this point was first revealed, and most of them knew that this Miao Ding was not a child of the Miao family at all, but someone substituted for his identity.
Who took his place, and who actually got through the two-layer relationship between Renzong and the king of Runan?
Especially Renzong, this foreshadowing, actually started from Miao Guifei, if there was no Miao Guifei from the concubine to the concubine, there would be no reward from the Miao family, I felt a little normal before, but now, someone suddenly discovered deliberately, this is to make steps for him, this is the most basic.
Even the carrying of a noble concubine has to be used as a step, and this person is very important to Renzong.
Sometimes, things are afraid of association, and under a thought, many things will be thought about carefully!
Some smart people even guessed that it might be the succession to the throne, and even guessed Zhao Xin's body, and the smarter ones suddenly didn't dare to look down, to be able to go to the position of the Great Song Dynasty, which one is simple, even if it is a young man like Han Qi, there are a few twists and turns in his heart, I am afraid that the only one who is selfless and deserves his justice is probably only one Fan Zhongyan.
But he has followers and supporters, and many of these people have also gotten the news, no, these people led by Pang Ji began to gather in Fan's Mansion to discuss this matter.
Under the monitoring of the Imperial City Division and others, these situations are basically under the control of Renzong, and Renzong feels that the fire is enough, so he adds another fire.
Sure enough, some gossip came, and there were all in the clouds, maybe the low-level officials and ordinary people didn't understand, but for the human spirits, a little mention of it means everything.
Miao Ding is just the identity of a person, who is this person, why did the Baozhou Mutiny happen, the core of the Baozhou Mutiny is Miaojiazhuang, why Miao Ding set up a part-time job, why did Renzong endorse it, and why did the king of Runan County not oppose it but took the initiative to put it forward.
A series of questions, like brainstorming, almost blew everyone apart, but these unrelated things eventually formed a terrible conjecture.
Even some old ministers, some of the old ministers who dominated one side in the early stage of Renzong, were a little unable to sit still, this is not just a hot potato, it is simply a whirlpool.
Simple things are all things that can be easily investigated, and they are finally combined together, what is it, that is the most terrible, the most terrifying to seize the heir, the king of Runan really dares.
It was Renzong's intention that everyone didn't understand, why would he give Zhao Xin an identity, wouldn't it be good to make it public directly, and then deal with the king of Runan by the way.
Only some people who really understand, just the rulers of the court, know the profound reasons, especially some people who are familiar with Renzong, Renzong is retreating, he is retreating for the government, in the past 20 years, after Renzong matured, he has retreated countless times, this time, he retreated more thoroughly.
The Runan County Palace, the same as the previous staff, but there were two more, and they gathered together to discuss this matter.
To be honest, the king of Runan County has not been in a very good mood recently, and he has not concealed the things in secret, and even some high-ranking officials of the six ministries have noticed it, not to mention him who has great ambitions.
He didn't understand what Renzong's purpose was, and another point was that this was not written according to the script, didn't it just say that he was just asking for an uncle, but what was it to press military merits on Zhao Xin's body?
There is no fraud in military merit, and their more than 6,000 people were indeed lost in Miaojiazhuang, which was the starting point of the Baozhou Mutiny from Jisheng to decline, but if they had known that Renzong planned to press the military industry on Zhao Xin's body, he would only give Zhao Xin a son at most, or even a male canonization, even if he added military merits, at best, that is, an uncle.
Although he didn't care about a Hou, but when he pressed Zhao Xin, it was more or less strange, maybe it was Zhao Xin's terrible performance that made him naturally want to control it.
Now, the change of things is like a wild horse that has escaped, and the things they want to cover up have been revealed by Renzong, maybe it is still a secret in most of the officials, but the top officials almost do not pull it out.
"What does the emperor mean, is it possible, do you think that in this way, you can take me?" Zhao Yunrang said with some anger.
The tree is falling and scattered, Zhao Yunrang is the backbone of everyone, and under the premise of caring about chaos, others also have the same opinion, but the chief staff has not spoken for a long time.
"Lord Wang, I think this is a good thing!"
"What, is that still a good thing?"
"Yes, do you think that if the emperor wants to attack you, can he do it, perhaps, what will he do!"
In a word, let Zhao Yun wake up to his senses, that's right, if Renzong really completely grasps his handle, or rather, desperately wants to deal with him, it must be hidden, slowly, starting from the periphery, his decades of Zongzheng, the relationship over the years, can be said to be huge, plus in recent years, Renzong's sons have died one by one, which has also allowed some speculators to come to his side, which is also the foundation of his life.
Otherwise, if an empty county king who has no power and no power and no status at all, dares to do such a thing, the final result must be taken over by the Zongren Mansion, and finally imprisoned or nowhere to be found.
"I think, Renzong is doing this just to pave the way for Miao Ding to be a marquis, Miao Ding has already been made a marquis, how can a lord of the imperial court still be able to return to the palace!"
This sentence is the introduction to the clouds, Zhao Yunrang thought about it, and after thanking the staff, he also asked the core, what to do.
The staff only gave one sentence, wait and see, everything can only be continued after the curtain falls on Miao Ding's feudal marquis, which is the condition they promised Renzong before.
At the beginning, those old treacherous and cunning people just felt the strangeness of this matter and took the initiative to stop, but the next thing was not to be transferred to them at all, one by one the news came, more and more details, almost all the senior officials of the Zai Fu and the six departments knew about this matter, Miao Si is Zhao Xin, who was sent to Miaojiazhuang by Renzong, this is just an identity.
Now that this identity is going to change from the dark to the bright, then Renzong and the king of Runan County, together, have already decided everything.
Knowing that this thing is a quagmire, how can anyone intervene, it is not easy to be the one who can become Zaifu, and suddenly, most of them did not object, leaving only Fan Zhongyan with a lonely palm.
Fan Zhongyan also knew this news, in his opinion, it may be nonsense, and even if it is true, it will not affect his judgment.
Your prince can use his real identity, as long as it complies with the regulations, what is sealed is a royal matter, but if you want to change your identity, you have to be named a marquis, this is a bit too much, and it is too much, he not only objected, but also strongly opposed.
Fan Zhongyan is Zaifu, that is Renzong's trust, Renzong used him to implement the new law, but now the new law has gradually gone to a detour, and the Qingli law has actually declined, and the core personnel, such as Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi, have been transferred, and the others have no important positions.
In the court, Fan Zhongyan's identity is only a privy deputy envoy, not the head of the Western Mansion in the real sense, and his opposition is difficult to play a role in the face of the unification of most of the governors, and this order was directly passed.
Just when Zai Fu and King Runan were looking at what Renzong wanted to do, without waiting for the temptation and urging of the king of Runan County, Renzong fulfilled what he had said to King Runan through the channel, on the day that Miao Ding was crowned Baozhou, another news came that the only living prince of Renzong and the only hope, Zhao Xin, the second son of the emperor, died on the spot because of a sudden illness and was named King Yong.
This is something that everyone can't understand, Zhao Xin is dead, why did he return the identity, some smart people, more or less thought of it, but calmed down, and took another step forward for Renzong, for the stability of the court, in order not to have a turbulent split, and was used by the Liao State and Western Xia, Renzong was willing to deprive his only son of the inheritance right and fake his death to get out.
Only then did some people understand why the king of Runan County and Renzong would reach a reunification, obviously, they had already made a deal, and at the same time, why Renzong spared no effort to promote Miao Guifei and give Miao an identity.
He is a prince, and he is unspeakably expensive, but he can only bear the identity of a relative's concubine, which is absolutely not good, even if he is only 4 years old, it is normal to be a founding marquis.
Among all of them, the one who was even more ecstatic was the king of Runanjun, he didn't know where Renzong got his madness, and he would take the initiative to withdraw a step, but when the words came out of his mouth, he couldn't take it back, and the emperor had Tianxian in his mouth, but he couldn't modify it for no reason, and this field was his domain.
The death of the clan or the prince will be recorded in the Zongren Mansion, and the jade plate will be withdrawn, as long as it is in the clan, Zhao Xin is dead, even if he is not dead, it is useless, Renzong does not have a son now, Zhao Xin's current identity is just a Miao Sishao, even if you are the founding marquis and have a good identity, but it is not the surname Zhao at all, then he has absolutely no inheritance rights.
