Chapter 0643: Zhao Defang Has a Secret Weapon?
"Obey the Order......"
Li Fang bowed and said.
Anyway, even if he was punished, he didn't fall out of the center.
LΓΌ Mengzheng and Su Yijian entered the court, although there was a threat to him, but the threat to him was far less than that of Bi Shianda.
Bi Shi'an's face was a little bitter, more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis.
What a thing!
Obviously, the bad thing was done by four people together, but in the end, it was he who was punished the most.
Li Fang moved his position, but he was still nesting in the three pits that represented the center of power.
Li Xin didn't even move his position.
The second prince only received a slap.
And he was punished to sit on the cold bench in Taixue.
Bi Shi'an had a hard time, because Zhao Guangyi didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
"Let's go and do something."
"No!"
With Li Fang and Bi Shi'an leaving the Vertical Arch Palace.
The news of Zhao Guangyi's awakening was also spread by them.
The originally turbulent Bianjing City became calm in an instant.
In Zhao's mansion, Zhao Pu was happy after learning the news that Zhao Guangyi had re-summoned him to the court.
He held a feast and invited many old friends and protΓ©gΓ©s to celebrate together in the mansion.
Low profile?
Zhao Pu doesn't need to keep a low profile.
Zhao Pu has never been a low-key person.
When a person's role is extremely important, there is not much difference between being low-key and not being low-key.
Zhao Pu even this.
For a time, the Zhao Mansion was full of people.
In comparison, the Eight Sages Palace, which was originally full of people, has become a crowd at this moment.
"Bang!"
A white porcelain tea bowl was thrown to the ground by Zhao Defang, and it was instantly shattered into countless petals.
The flying pieces of porcelain cut through the eunuch's face, but he did not dare to move.
"Why?"
Zhao Defang roared unwillingly.
spent all his money and planning for a winter, just waiting for Zhao Guangyi to die, he could rise up and regain the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan that belonged to him.
But now that Zhao Guangyi woke up, everything was in vain.
Those officials who had secretly agreed to take refuge in him became deaf and mute one by one after Zhao Guangyi woke up.
The money he paid was like a meat bun fed to a dog.
The civil officials are more unreliable than the grass on the wall, the military generals with real power are too lazy to take care of him, and the military generals who are willing to take care of him have no real power.
Zhao Guangyi is not dead, he has no chance at all.
Why?
Why didn't Zhao Guangyi die?
"The prince is angry......"
The chief of the palace comforted Zhao Defang, and reminded: "Be careful that the wall has ears......
"What do you take to quench your anger?"
Zhao Defang questioned, hysterically roaring, "He killed my father, and he will also die for my brother." If he doesn't die, I have to die. If he doesn't die, I won't be able to regain the throne. β
"Lord Wang, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan......"
Zhao Defang trembled, "But...... I'm scared ......."
At this moment, Zhao Defang is like a helpless child.
Roaring with rage, just to hide the fear in his heart.
He didn't even hesitate to express his fears.
Afraid!
Afraid of what?
Naturally, he was afraid that Zhao Guangyi would kill him!
In the past, there was his imperial brother Zhao Dezhao, and his imperial uncle Zhao Guangmei in front.
But since these two people were killed by Zhao Guangyi one after another.
He could clearly feel the big hands reaching out to him without any obstacles.
It seems that he can be strangled at any time.
"Lord Wang, don't be afraid, we still have a chance!"
Wang Changshi is Zhao Defang's confidant, he and Zhao Defang are both prosperous and lossy.
"Opportunity?"
Zhao Defang laughed miserably: "What other chance?" We have been planning for more than two months, and now that he has woken up, with his character, he knows what we have done for the past two months, and he will not let us go. β
The prince said solemnly: "Lord Wang, we don't really have nothing, we still have allies. β
Zhao Defang was stunned and laughed at himself: "Who else will help me?" β
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were either grass on the wall or Zhao Guangyi's people.
Who would dare to help him?
In Zhao Defang's desperate eyes, the prince said a name in a low voice.
"Tiger Marquis Yang Yansi!"
Zhao Defang was stunned, his face was bitter, and he muttered: "Tiger Marquis Yang Yanhe...... Will he help me? β
Zhao Defang looked at the palace governor, "Why would he help me?" β
Wang Changshi glanced at the study vaguely, "Lord Wang, Yang Yansi promised to help you when he left Beijing." His character, the lower officials have understood. He won't lie to you.
And we still have that thing in hand......"
After a pause, Shi Yin, the head of the palace, said ruthlessly: "If Your Majesty really wants your life and mine, then we will break the net with him...... When that thing is sent to Yang Yansi, how powerful it will be, he should know very well. β
What is 'that thing' in the mouth of the prince Shi, Zhao Defang knows very well in his heart.
It was an amazing object, and throwing it out was enough to cause a sensation in the entire Bianjing City and even the entire Great Song Dynasty.
In order to fight with Zhao Guangyi, he threw the thing that threatened the Great Song Dynasty to Yang Yansi.
Zhao Defang was a little hesitant in his heart.
He and Zhao Guangyi belong to the family infighting, no matter who wins or who loses, the Great Song Dynasty will always belong to the Zhao family.
But he gave that thing to Yang Yansi and pulled Yang Yansi in.
If Yang Yansi took that thing and took the opportunity to rebel, then the country might not be the Zhao family anymore.
Is life important, or is the Great Song Dynasty important?
This is a multiple-choice question in front of Zhao Defang.
The chief of the palace seemed to see Zhao Defang's thoughts, and he hesitated: "The prince is hesitating? β
Zhao Defang didn't want to admit it, but nodded anyway.
Shi Yin, the head of the palace, said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have to hesitate, the lower official said that he would take that thing to save his life, but he didn't say that he would hand over that thing." That thing can only survive if we hold it in our hands. Once handed over, whoever we hand it over, we will all die. β
Zhao Defang nodded solemnly, "You're right." β
Zhao Defang swept away the fear just now, clenched his fists, and said excitedly: "Whoever dares to do something to this king, this king will let it not see the light of day." With it to accompany the funeral, this king Jiuquan will not feel ashamed when he goes down to meet his father and brother. β
"The prince is wise. Then the lower official will go to write a letter and pass the news of that thing in our hands to Yang Yansi. Hanging Yang Yansi with that thing, Xia Guan didn't believe it, he wouldn't help us. β
"Tell Yang Yansi that as long as he can help this king win the throne, this king will allow him to tear the earth and become the king."
"Xia Guan understands."
The prince was about to go out to write a letter, but when he arrived at the door, he stopped and hesitated: "Lord, ...... tomorrow."
Zhao Defang laughed at himself: "You don't need to remind you about this, this king knows." Pretending to be a quail, this king has been pretending to be for eight years, and he is already familiar with it. β
"That's good......"
Subsequently, the governor of the palace wrote a long letter, and attached a piece of paper stamped with a sealed letter, and sent someone to send it to the four northwestern prefectures.
β¦β¦
Following.
Morning.
Before dawn, the civil and military officials carried lanterns, rode horses, or sat in sedan chairs, and gathered in front of Donghua Gate.
Zhao Guangyi was in a coma for a long time, and after waking up, the first time he came to the court, the officials naturally had to be more active.
The most prominent performance in the crowd was Zhao Pu.
The news of Zhao Pu's resurgence had already spread throughout the officialdom of Bianjing City last night.
Almost all civil officials came up to scold this old man who had paid homage to the prime minister three times.
And Zhao Defang, the Eight Sages King of the royal family, behaved very low-key.
His palanquin, hidden in a remote corner, seemed unwilling to be seen.
When the hour comes.
The forbidden soldiers who stopped in the hole in front of Donghua Gate got out of the way.
Under the leadership of the little eunuch, the hundred officials entered the vertical arch hall.
Zhao Guangyi was unusual, and arrived at the vertical arch hall early.
He wore a golden crown on his head and a dragon robe, and his face was majestic.
He must have powdered his face to hide the sickness on his face.
He seemed to be going to tell Baiguan in this way.
I'm good!
I'm healthy!
You all give me a share.
On both sides of Zhao Guangyi, there stood the eldest prince and the second prince.
When the officials saw the eldest prince appear next to the dragon chair, they were obviously a little stunned.
Could it be that the eldest prince also has to rise again?
The status of the eldest prince is special, and he is the most powerful contender for the throne.
His appearance will bring those changes to the court, and there are many speculations in the hearts of the officials.
They all knew that there would be a big change in the court today, but they didn't expect the change to be so big.
In contrast, Zhao Defang has received less attention.
This made him feel both frustrated and happy.
The chair that belonged to Zhao Pu was lifted back to the main hall.
Zhao Guangyi seemed to be afraid that Zhao Pu would be uncomfortable to sit, so he specially asked the eunuchs to wrap it.
Zhao Pu was not polite, and walked over and sat down.
After the hundreds of officials in the hall arrived, Chen Lin shouted under Zhao Guangyi's instructions.
"Go to court!"
"Your Majesty! I wish the emperor good fortune and good health! β
"Flat!"
Zhao Guangyi whispered, and after all the officials stood up, he said with a smile: "On weekdays, you are waiting for me, but today I arrived earlier than you, and I waited for you." β
The officials were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "The ministers are panicking." β
Zhao Guangyi waved his hand, "There's nothing to be afraid of, I should wait for you." β
Without waiting for the officials to continue to panic, Zhao Guangyi continued: "In the early court today, there are several major events that I want to announce. β
Zhao Guangyi paused, looked at Zhao Pu, and said happily: "First of all, it is Zhao Aiqing who re-entered the court and served as a peace minister. In the future, you will have to assist Zhao Aiqing and manage this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for me. β
"Obey the Holy Command!"
Zhao Pu stood up tremblingly, acting with a handful of snot and tears, "The old minister will definitely die for the Great Song Dynasty!" β
Zhao Guangyi looked very kind today, and he smiled: "Just forget it." I hope you will live a long life, help me take care of the country, and I can rest assured that you are in the court. β
Zhao Pu was moved to tears, "The old minister is terrified. β
Zhao Guangyi invited Zhao Pu to sit down, and said: "The second thing, I plan to let the second prince stay in the court in the future and accompany me to govern together." Do you have any objections? β
Is this to determine the identity of the heir of the second prince?
What is the intention of the eldest prince to enter the court today?
The officials guessed in their hearts, but their faces did not show it.
They all spoke up: "The ministers have no objections. β
"The third thing, I am going to canonize the eldest prince as the king of Han, what do you think Aiqing?"
Hey!
It's really something.
"The minister has an objection!"
Yu Shi Zhongcheng came out of class and said loudly: "During the period when the eldest prince was the crown prince, he was deposed by His Majesty for his immorality. Now His Majesty canonized the eldest prince as the king of Han, which has a faint meaning of revenge. Once the eldest prince sits on the throne, where should the second prince go? His brother turned against him, and that was His Majesty's fault. β
Zhao Guangyi frowned.
He knew in his heart that if he was canonized as the eldest prince today, he would definitely be opposed by hundreds of officials.
It's just that I didn't expect someone to talk about my brother.
He was a little displeased.
"What do you think?"
In the imperial history, Cheng was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "The minister thinks that even if His Majesty has a deep relationship between father and son, and wants to be crowned the prince of the great prince, then he should also be crowned the king of the county, not the prince." β
"Humph!"
Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly.
At this time, the eldest prince spoke up: "Father, the son agrees with Li Yushi's statement. β
When the eldest prince said this, he looked at the second prince with a calm expression.
"Hey!"
Zhao Guangyi sighed and said to the hundred officials: "Then according to Aiqing's performance, the eldest prince will be crowned the king of Taikang County." β
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After canonizing the eldest prince, Zhao Guangyi looked at the hundred officials with a solemn expression.
"The fourth thing is war. The Liao people are domineering, ready to support the army to the south at the beginning of spring, I want to send a heavy army to fight against it, what do you think Aiqing? β
As soon as these words came out, the cultural relics all over the audience were shocked.
Generally, the heavy soldiers in Zhao Guangyi's mouth are not something that can be stopped by 30,000 or 20,000 people.
Zhao Guangyi sent troops in units of 50,000.
"Your Majesty, by all means!"
Some courtiers immediately stood up against it.
More than a dozen courtiers came out to oppose it.
Zhao Guangyi frowned and looked at Zhao Pu, "What does Zhao Aiqing think?" β
His eyes told Zhao Pu that he wanted to be supported by Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu understood, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How many troops is Your Majesty going to send?" β
Zhao Guangyi stretched out two fingers and said loudly: "Two hundred thousand!" β
"Hiss~"
The hundreds of officials below gasped one after another.
Your Majesty is really magnificent, but can the treasury hold up?
Hubu Shangshu came out of the list, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, send 200,000 troops, and you need nearly 10 million yuan for the materials, money and food you need. But there is not so much money in the treasury now......"
The treasury has been out of money.
It's like a gold-swallowing beast, and no amount of money can be stuffed into it.
But Zhao Guangyi thinks that there will always be money if you squeeze it.
The money from the first two Northern Expeditions was not just squeezed out.
"Your Majesty......"
Zhao Pu opened his mouth and said: "The old minister thinks that it is probably inappropriate to start a big war with the Liao State now. His Majesty's ambition is Yanyun, either he will not send troops, or if he wants to send troops, he must have the certainty of making a decision in one fell swoop.
Now His Majesty is in poor health, the treasury is empty, and the new army of the forbidden army is still training.
Boldly send out heavy troops, but I am afraid that there is no certainty of victory. β
Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "The Liao people are going to fight over, do you really want to let them bully?" β
Zhao Pu arched his hand and said: "Bear with him, leave enough time for me to gather strength, and wait until the treasury is full of money and the new army is trained." When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will go north, and they will definitely be able to defeat the Liao people in one fell swoop and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. β
Zhao Guangyi squinted his eyes and asked, "How long does this process take?" That's what you told me two years ago, and that's what you told me a year ago. Do you want me to keep waiting? β
Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "No more than three years at the latest." β
"Smack!"
Zhao Guangyi slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay! I'll wait another three years. After three years, if the treasury does not have a surplus, I will cut off your head and sacrifice the flag. β
