After Cai You and the others saw Huizong Zhao Ji, they immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Zhao Ji, who had just recovered from a serious illness, saw this situation, and asked knowingly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you don't want to assist the new emperor, but you come here in the starry night, why is this?" ”

Everyone fell to the ground and cried: "Official! The ministers are waiting for a catastrophe, I beg the officials to save me! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ji was happy in his heart, but he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "All of you Aiqing are all ministers of the imperial court, and you have always been loyal to me and the Great Song Dynasty, how can there be a catastrophe?" ”

"Official, you don't know anything."

Cai You knelt on the ground and stepped forward, came to the place where Huizong was doing, hugged his legs and cried: "Weichen is conscientious and conscientious, and he is dedicated to the sake of the official family, and his father is also dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty. Now that the minister's father has already resigned and gone home, and it is already the year of the cane dynasty, I didn't expect that there are still people in the court who want to treat the sins of the minister and the old father, and I implore the official family to look at the past and save my Cai family! ”

"Alas!" Zhao Ji listened to Cai You's story, and immediately sighed: "Your Cai family is full of loyalty and goodness, and everyone knows it, it seems that Huan'er is still too young, and he actually listens to other people's slander." ”

"What the official says is true!" Seeing that Huizong Zhao Ji really trusted him, Cai You hurriedly said: "After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, and he is very easy to be confused by traitors, and the minister thinks that he still needs more teaching from the official family. ”

Huizong Zhao Ji nodded and said: "Well, when I repair a letter in the future, I will inform Huan'er of your loyalty to the country, and I guess he will not continue to embarrass you." ”

It stands to reason that Cai You is now calling Qinzong His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is unreasonable, Zhao Ji should correct it, and Huizong has now abdicated, he should no longer call himself I.

The people present may be extremely bad at doing things and fighting, but when it comes to observing words and feelings, and appreciating people's hearts, they are all outstanding people.

Through this conversation between Cai You and Zhao Ji, in the words, everyone has understood that the abdicated Emperor Huizong actually does not want to live this kind of dull life of losing power.

As long as the big tree of Huizong is unwilling to fall, then the monkeys under these trees will have confidence.

Now everyone can see that although Huizong has a heart, he doesn't want to tear his face with his son, so after Cai You got up, he hurriedly gave Tong Guan a quiet look.

Striking iron should be hot, Tong Guan understood in his heart, and immediately stepped forward and exclaimed: "The minister has used troops in Shaanxi, and for 20 years before and after, although he cannot be said to have made many meritorious deeds, but he is also hard work. Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, there are people who want to govern the ministers to bully the king, set up false cities, and vainly play dozens of crimes, if His Royal Highness the prince really listens to false accusations, I am afraid that this is the last time the minister will see the official's family! ”

After Tong Guan's words, the others also stepped forward in turn or cried, or lamented, or pleaded, and gave Zhao Ji the exaggerated reports of the recent attacks by the courtiers, the troubles of the students, and the public opinion of the people.

After listening to the words of his most trusted courtier, Zhao Ji's face became gloomy, and then he leaned back in his chair and pondered.

Since Zhao Ji's condition improved, his heart was also full of regret, and he felt that he was a little too impatient to give up his position before.

Although Zhao Ji is not a Ming Jun, he is also a talented and learned person after all, as the king of a country, he has not dabbled in history books, so he has to think more about history.

Of course, Zhao Ji understands the truth that there are no two days and no two kings, so how to protect himself is what he is most concerned about at present.

If you want to protect yourself, you must have something in your hands, so that you can take the initiative and let others be bogeyed.

Originally, Huizong Zhao Ji wanted to wait and study this matter, but he didn't expect that his son Qinzong Zhao Huan would move far faster than he thought!

Tong Guan has a well-trained and amazing fighting force under the command of Shengjie Army, Gao Yu is the captain of the Tokyo City Forbidden Army, and they are all people with heavy troops in their hands, if the two of them are punished, then Zhao Ji will have no soldiers available.

In addition to military power, Cai You, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and Wang Hao are all important pillars that can provide Zhao Ji with money, food and personnel.

At this time, in Zhao Ji's mind, two historical figures naturally appeared.

These two are peers with Zhao Ji, both are the kings of a country, one of them is Liu Xie, the Han Xian Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the other is Li Yuan, Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

Why did Zhao Ji think of them? The answer is very simple, because these two are also emperors who were forced to give up the throne, and their situation is very similar to Zhao Ji.

After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi attacked the king of Wei and the prime minister of Han. Some ministers coerced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to learn from Tang Yao and Yu Shun and cede the emperor's throne to Cao Pi. In October 220, Cao Pi ascended the throne of the emperor as he wished.

Cao Pi rose from King of Wei to Emperor, and Emperor Liu Xie was demoted to Duke of Shanyang. However, this Shanyang Duke is still more noble: 10,000 households, located above the princes and kings, not called ministers, edicts are not worshipped, and serve heaven and earth with the Son of Heaven's chariot, Zongmiao, Zula, all like the Han system, all Shanyang turbid deer city.

When Liu Xie left the capital to go to Shanyang, Cao Pi also said very politely: The treasure of the world, I share it with Shanyang.

Cao Pi treated Emperor Xian of Han so leniently, firstly, because Liu Xie had been a puppet for 32 years of his reign, and the power of the Liu family was no longer enough to pose a threat to Cao Wei's regime; The second is that Cao Cao married his three daughters to Liu Xie.

Even so, Cao Pi still sent Li Gu to garrison Turbid Lucheng and guard Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang, until the Jin Dynasty arrived at Liu Xie's grandson Liu Kang, and the defenders withdrew.

Compared with Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who was forced to give up the throne to his son, did not have such a good time.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Tang Taizong Li Shimin took over, although he did not directly kill his father, but it was natural for Li Yuan to live the life of a prisoner from then on.

Li Yuan supported Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin inevitably had a grudge against this, and regarded Li Yuan as a solitary confinement from the beginning of his abdication.

In the first three years, Li Yuan still lived in the emperor's exclusive palace Taiji Palace, and Li Shimin lived in the East Palace as the emperor, but Li Yuan's every move was monitored, and he could not be surprised, and the minister could not come to visit.

In April of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan finally "took the initiative" to move from Taiji Palace to Hongyi Palace (later renamed Da'an Palace).

On the day he left the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan quietly looked back at the palace where he had lived for more than ten years, and his heart must have been full of bitterness and sentimentality.

In the first month of the sixth year of Zhenguan, he supervised the imperial history Ma Zhou Shangshu: "The minister Fufu saw that the Da'an Palace was in the west of the palace city, and its wall was made of the palace and the purple pole of the square, and it was still a humble ......."

The meaning of these words is obvious, the living conditions of Da'an Palace are a little poor, and later Tang Taizong Li Shimin did not solve it, and it has been delayed for two years before the construction of Daming Palace for Emperor Li Yuan, but unfortunately the palace has not been built, Li Yuan has died of illness in Da'an Palace.

With the lessons of these two emperors after their abdication, Huizong Zhao Ji secretly decided in his heart that he would never live in humiliation like Emperor Han Xian and Tang Gaozong.
