Chapter 3273: Is Zhao Liren going to rebel?

After the establishment of the new emperor, the palace hurriedly sent a chief eunuch to the palace of the kings to invite the five princes left by Emperor Shenzong to enter the palace. After a while, the eunuchs sent by the palace returned, but only four princes rushed to Xuande Tower, and the one missing was King Duan.

Empress Dowager Xiang was very strange, and hurriedly asked the eunuch she sent: "Why didn't King Duan come?" ”

The eunuch replied: "King Duan is painting, and he can't bear to interrupt, saying that he entered the palace late at night, and he did not agree with the ceremony, and he would enter the palace tomorrow to greet him." ”

Xiang was so angry that she almost fell down, and Zhang proudly glanced at the surrounding ministers, hinting: Look, I'm right, King Duan acted frivolously, and sure enough.

Xiang Empress Dowager grimaced and ordered: "Go and ask ---- to send Zhang Tian, the envoy of the imperial city, to lead the troops and immediately invite King Duan into the palace." ”

Zhang Tian rushed to Duanwang's mansion, Duanwang had finished his painting, and when he saw Zhang Tian leading his troops in, Duanwang Zhao Ji's face changed, Zhang Tian urged again and again, Duanwang was reluctant to get up. Immediately, a small history entered from outside, and this person Zhang Tian also knew, it was Gao Yu, the official of Duanwangfu. When Zhang Tian returned to the capital from Guangxi, he brought back a gift that Zhao Xing had given to Gao Yu, and when he saw Gao Yu at this moment, Zhang Tian begged: "Gao Xiaoshi, you come to persuade the prince, our family was ordered to invite King Duan into the palace, and if King Duan doesn't leave, our family will be forced to invite." ”

Gao Yu asked rhetorically: "Lord Zhang, what do you want to invite my prince to enter the palace late at night?" ”

Zhang Tian gritted his teeth and shook his head like a wave drum: "We can't say it, please urge Duanwang to get started." ”

The word "start" already reveals some of the content. Gao Yu's eyebrows jumped, leaned over and muttered a few words to King Duan, King Duan still refused to move, Gao Yu turned to Zhang Tian and pleaded: "Lord Zhang, my little prince is young, he entered the palace late at night, and there must be a maid by his side, I don't know if the adult will allow it?" ”

Zhang Tian was still hesitating. There was a third group of people at the gate of the palace, and Zhang Tian stomped his feet: "That's it, you arrange a maid for the prince, and ask the prince to leave immediately." ”

Gao Yu turned around and muttered a few words to the palace companion. Not for a while. A handsome maid hurried in. Zhang Tian suddenly found that this maid was dressed very familiarly. Seems to have been seen somewhere. He looked at it for a moment. I saw that the maid was wearing a spiral skirt that was conducive to horseback riding---- that is, an eight-piece skirt. A "back" was draped over the skirt. The "back" was tied with a rope around the waist. Due to the tight ties. I can't see what's hidden in my clothes. But. The maid had a bulging bag around her waist......

The matter is urgent. Zhang Tian didn't think much about it. He hurriedly asked King Duan and the maid to get into the sedan chair. Only a few steps. Zhang Tian slammed his forehead. Then he turned over and asked at the door to send Duan Wangdi Gao Yu: "Gao Xiaoshi." This maid was sent by Zhao Liren...... I remember. This dress is the dress of Zhao Liren's maid. I'm in the middle of the capital. I have never seen such a similar dress. ”

Gao Yu stared at Zhang Tian deeply. He replied with a smile: "Lord Zhang." Very moment. My prince is a little timid. Late at night into the palace. It's always a little bit dependent. Be? ”

Zhang Tian nodded. Keep your mouth shut tightly. Without saying a word, he jumped on his warhorse.

This Zhang Tian is the original Guangxi transit envoy. His relationship with Zhao Xingdi is extraordinary. Naturally, I knew what was bulging in the maid's waist---- it was a handcuff (musket). Zhao Xing had a team of female guards dressed similarly around him. The members include military dependents selected from the ethnic minorities of the two provinces. There are also some Japanese women, Korean women, and Jiaozhi women. Plus Kunlun Girl. Each of these women had at least four fiery guns pinned to their waists. More than a dozen maids shot continuously. They didn't wait for them to run out of bullets in their pistols. Hundreds of people didn't want to get close to them.

However. What can a maid do? In front of tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the palace. Their presence is at best a spiritual comfort.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Tian thought again: King Duan is about to ascend the throne as the emperor, at this moment, why should I offend King Duan? He wants to bring a gun into the palace, by him!

So, Zhang Tian was silent.

this year. Duanwang is in his early seventeens. Less than eighteen.

In front of the palace, the five kings finally gathered. Xiang did not explain the reason, but summoned King Duan to enter the Funing Palace to stay overnight, and as for the rest of the princes, they were controlled in the gatehouse where the palace guards were located. At dawn, the ministers of the political hall returned to the palace, and Prime Minister Zhang officially announced the "big trip" of the little emperor Zhao Xu. Then, it was announced to the Queen Mother that King Duan would succeed to the throne, and King Duan was modest, saying: "King Shen is older." ”

He scolded the Queen Mother: "King Shen has an eye disease, so you should be the emperor." ”

King Duan was modest again and again, and he humbly concedes three times according to etiquette, and only then succeeds to the throne as emperor at the request of the ministers of the court three times, and then declares the national mourning, and the ministers of the palace begin to cry.

Next, it is time to discuss the nickname of the little emperor, and after the unanimous determination of the ministers, the nickname of the little emperor is "Zhe". The word "philosophy" is used in the nickname, not to indicate that he understood philosophy very well during his lifetime, but its real meaning is: it is not good to evaluate---- that is, "I don't know what to say, so I am called a philosophy".

In other words, even the members of the New Party felt that this little emperor was really not good to evaluate, or rather, they also thought that this little emperor Zhao Xu did things ---- did not know what to do.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the first order was to ask the Empress Dowager to listen to the government, this order, Wu Jingfang immediately turned to Zhang and said: "Zhang Xiang, this Empress Dowager Xiang and Empress Dowager Gao have the same mind, both are inclined to the old party, my Great Song Dynasty after the toss of the Minister Yuan, I can no longer afford to toss, how can I let the old party be restored." ”

Zhang took the wrong position on the matter of Yingli, and now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, he can't figure out the direction of the political wind and refuses to express his position. Zeng Bu heard the words of Wu Jingfang, the imperial history, and shouted sharply: "Wu Jingfang, listen to the will of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother---- Fang is now in a national funeral, the new emperor is just established, the first will is dismissed, and Hugh is presumptuous!" ”

Zhang continued to remain silent, and Wu Jingfang could only retreat silently.

After the first decree of the new emperor was issued, he summoned all the ministers to the empress dowager to discuss who could be the new emperor's team with the qualifications to govern. This involves private insider trading, how could the ministers suddenly express their position, and after a long time, the discussion was indecided, and the ministers were ordered to the Queen Mother to be senated in the Privy Council. Zhang and the others were relieved and retired in panic. After that, in the main hall, the queen mother summoned the remaining four kings into the palace to pay tribute. Then. The little emperor issued an edict ordering the servants in the palace and the eunuch Tong to enter the palace to serve.

A few days later, the names of 20 people, including the former ruler and the officials, were presented to the Queen Mother. In the list, Lu Huiqing is the first, Lu Dian, Zeng Zhao, and Gong Yuan. Guo Zhizhang and Jiang Zhiqi, Ye Zuqia, Xing Shu and others are all on the list. When King Duan saw Lu Huiqing's name, he frowned slightly, he pointed to the list and said, "Lu Huiqing and put it aside." ”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Xiang glanced at the new emperor and nodded slightly in approval. Zhang was helpless, and crossed out Lu Huiqing's name, and Zeng Bu continued: "The minister thinks." Ye Tao should also be added to the list. ”

Xiang Empress Dowager then added: "In this way, Wang Gu and Fan Chun should also be on the list." ”

The new emperor plays with his fingers on the jade throne. said in a low voice: "There is also Han Zhongyan." ”

Xiang Empress Dowager's ears were sharp, and she immediately added: "Plus Han Zhongyan, go to Li Qingchen." ”

Who is Han Zhongyan? He succeeded Wang Yansu as the Minister of Privy Council, and was the second-generation head of the Han family. His father Han Qi and uncle Han Shen were both prime ministers and were the backbone of the New Party. But Han Zhongyan did not agree with his father's concept, his father once supported Wang Anshi's reform, but he was an old party member, and Zeng Bu took his place. only then did he serve as a privy envoy, and then entered the political hall.

Zhang has already sniffed out the smell of conspiracy from the appointment of the Empress Dowager, Zeng Bu also felt that it was inappropriate, the little emperor removed a Lu Huiqing, and the Empress Dowager removed a Li Qingchen, but Han Zhongyan, Wang Gu, and Fan Chun were added to the three old parties, which was already an obvious indication of political attitude. He glanced at Zeng Bu and sighed, "Because of the woman's wild words." And the list of resignations ---- nothing in the world ......"

There is nothing in the world, and the latter sentence is "mediocre people disturb themselves".

Empress Dowager Xiang was choked for a moment, the little emperor pretended not to hear, and continued: "Who else is on the list?" ”

The little emperor is qualified to ask this question, because now he is choosing his auxiliary minister. Zhang had to continue to report the list. Zeng Bu pointed to the place An Tao on this list, and tried his best to recommend: Your Majesty knows An Tao, during the Yuan years, the old people of Yuanfeng have gone to show that they are not in the same stream. Only An Tao was in Yuanyou for four years because of Ding worry. Leave your job and go home. ”

The Queen Mother said: At the end of the Yuanfeng Festival, everyone will go. However, An Tao did not go, which means that this person is called the New Party, but he is swaying between the old party, and he has no position---- except for An Tao, the rest of the ministers are according to the discussion of the secretary. ”

Zeng Bu replied: "Your Majesty, the saint (Queen Mother) is like this, and the ministers are even more unspeakable. At this time, the little emperor Zhao Xu has been suspended for seven days, and according to the agenda, the next thing to announce is the burial. Xiang was silent to the Queen Mother, the little emperor squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep, and none of the ministers spoke, just waiting for others to recommend themselves.

The atmosphere in the hall was dull, Xiang Empress Dowager was considering the wording, Zhang and Zeng Bu were turning the excuse of refusal in their minds, everyone was waiting for the one who broke the silence to appear, but he didn't expect a eunuch to complete this mission, he ran in a panic, and accidentally knocked on the threshold when he entered the main hall, and rolled into the hall in the last way. Seeing this, Zhang sank his face, he hadn't opened his mouth to reprimand, Zeng Bu had already reprimanded with a heavy face: "Be dignified!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiang also had a bad face, because the chaos in the palace meant that she mismanaged the affairs of the palace, and she didn't even manage the palace well, how could she manage the country?

At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiang had already calculated the accounts in her heart, she endured her anger and asked with a pleasant face: "What's the alarm?" ”

The eunuch knelt on the ground, and when he had taken a breath, he reported: "The Daimyo Mansion has an urgent report, and there is an urgent military situation." ”

Zeng Bu jumped up and asked profusely, "Daimyo's Mansion...... What is the change in Liao? Letter? ”

Zhang was also very nervous, he stared at the little eunuch with an anxious expression.

Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked, "What report does Gao Zunhui have?" ”

The little eunuch replied incoherently: "There is no letter in the urgent report, only a message--- Gao Zunhui, who was left behind in the Daimyo Mansion, sent a message, saying that there were 1,000 warships of the Guangnan Navy Division, and they broke into the Beishui River without orders and edicts, and the striker had entered the Shunbao Village. Master Gao had already led troops to stop the Guangnan Navy Division from going deeper, and he sent an urgent letter to ask: The imperial court may have a will to summon the Guangnan Navy Division. ”

Xiang Empress Dowager glanced at the original Duan Wang and the current new emperor, slowly took her seat, and asked: "Can the news of the death of the first emperor be transmitted to the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”

Zeng Bu calculated for a moment and replied, "It's seven days now...... Supposedly it should have arrived. It's just that I don't know if the news of the death of the first emperor arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion when Gao Zunhui encountered the Guangnan Water Division. However, the news certainly did not reach Quang Nam! ”

Xiang Xiang glanced at the Queen Mother again in silence. Leaned over and continued to ask the little eunuch who reported the news: "Gao Zunhui is doing things properly...... What other message did he have coming? ”

The little eunuch kowtowed and replied: "Lord Gao said: The Guangnan Navy Division has sent more than 100 warships, saying that it is to escort the two kings of Jiaozhi to pay tribute. But Lord Gao felt that this team was murderous, and in addition, Guangnan had sent people from Yangzhou to escort the tributary envoys, so why did they come to flow the Beishui River again?

And. Master Gao believes that the number of soldiers from Guangnan is not appropriate, they have more than 3,000 people, according to the law: Guangnan transfer envoy Zhao Xing Zhao Liren is not under the military order of the Privy Council, can only send 300 soldiers, these 3,000 soldiers to cross, it is impossible for the Privy Council not to inform the Daimyo Mansion in advance...... Therefore, Lord Gao stopped them in Shunbaozhai and asked the imperial court to send envoys and envoys. The two kings of Jiaozhi continued to enter Beijing. ”

On the main hall, Zhang's face was decadent, and Zeng Bujie praised: "Gao Zunhui's work is really fine--- the tribute of the two dynasties." Why don't you take the Yangzhou route, I remember that the tributary envoys of the vassal domains had landed in Yangzhou ten days ago, but the imperial court encountered a series of accidents, so that they are still stranded in Yangzhou today......

Without this reason, how could the tributary envoys enter the court separately in two groups? How could Guangnan let the tributary envoys go all the way to Yangzhou and the Beishui River, and separate the order...... It's not appropriate, I remember in a trance. The Liubei River only resumed flowing this year. ”

Zhang was silent, and Cai Bian replied: "Not bad! The Liubei Water River (the northern tributary of the Yellow River Canal) was cut off a few years ago, and the torrential rains continued this spring, which restored the flowing water, but the newly restored river, the water level is very shallow, I heard that the Guangnan Navy Division likes to use giant ships, I guess, I'm afraid Gao Zunhui can't stop the Guangnan Navy Division from going deeper. It is likely that the water level is too shallow, and it is difficult for the huge boat of the Quang Nam Naval Division to enter, so it stopped at Shunbao Village. ”

There was silence in the hall.

The first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Guangnan sailors suddenly divided into two ways to pay tribute to the imperial court, although their excuses were magnificent, but the ministers of the palace said that they were not fools, and they all knew that Zhao Xingdi's intentions were not good.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager Xiang first broke the silence: "Edict." Su Shi Su Zizhan reinstated the title of bachelor. Reinstated as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. Huang Tingjian, Chao Buzhi and other degraded officials were pardoned one by one and allowed them to return to the north. Inform the world that the imperial court will restore their local official titles as appropriate. ”

Zeng Bu stomped his feet and exclaimed: "Wonderful! ”

Zhang Yin grimaced and said sullenly: "I'm afraid this message can't be transmitted." Zhao Liren does things, he has always made one move after another, and he has been breathless---- such as now: ten days ago, the Guangnan Navy blocked the Yangtze River in the name of sending tribute envoys to the court, I am afraid that the current imperial court has lost control of the states and counties on the south bank of the Yangtze River. ”

Empress Dowager Xiang immediately ordered again: "Edict, reinstate Fan Chun to stay in Jingzhao Mansion...... I remember that Fan Chun was in the capital and asked him to go to Liubeishui River to preach comfort. ”

Zeng Bu couldn't help but blurt out: "Wonderful! ”

After issuing these two decrees to the Queen Mother, she got up and took King Duan's hand and ordered: "What to discuss now, it is useless after all, let Fan Chun hurry out of the city and rush to the Liubei Water River as fast as possible." ”

So, the little emperor's first ascension to the court ended in such a solemn atmosphere. After the dispersal of the court, the palace was in chaos, and the eunuchs were panicked, but the Empress Dowager Xiang returned to her palace in a hurry and calmly summoned her for dinner. The little emperor Zhao Ji said goodbye to the Empress Dowager and returned to his bedroom, feeling uneasy, and urgently ordered Tong Guan to summon Gao Yu into the palace.

Soon, Gao Yu entered the palace with an edict, and the little emperor asked: "Master Yan, there is no obstacle to this trip?" ”

Gao Yu shook his head and replied: "Although the palace is panicked, Zhang Tian has not been replaced, I have not been troubled when I entered the palace, and it seems that the queen mother also knows it." ”

Zhang Tian is a close friend of Zhao Xingdi, if the Queen Mother believes that Zhao Xing is suspected of rebellion, the first thing to do is: regardless of whether Zhang Tian is suspected or not, first remove this Zhao Xing's former partner. At present, Zhang Tian is still responsible for guarding the gate of the palace, which means that the Empress Dowager understands in her heart.

The little emperor recounted the scene in the court to Gao Yu, and asked curiously: "Master Yan, you have partnered with Zhao Liren, you must know Zhao Liren's temperament, the sage has pardoned Su Shi and Sumen disciples in the main hall in a row, and also sent Fan Chun to re-serve as Jingzhao's guard, Zeng Bulian said two wonderful, what does this mean, you have rich experience, analyze it for me." ”

Gao Yu was leisurely fascinated: "It's really wonderful! In the past, the Empress Dowager Gao was so superb, and the Empress Dowager was deeply influenced by the Empress Dowager Gao, and as soon as she was in power, she was so decisive in her means, she really deserved to be the second among the female Yao Shun. ”

The little emperor's eyes widened blankly, and when Gao Yu saw it, he hurriedly laughed dryly, stopped sighing, and explained: "Zhao Liren's temper I know that he has made such a great contribution in Huanqing, but Zhang Xiang demoted him to Lingnan in the name of grinding him, and instead let Lu Huiqing take over his position. Subsequently, Zhao Liren's respected teacher, Dunmu's brother, and Zhang Xiangdu relegated them to Lingnan one by one due to partisan disputes.

Zhao Liren planned to capture Dali, but Zhang Xiang did not reward Zhao Xing, but rewarded Zhang Tian and Zhang for his contribution to destroying the country; Zhao Liren suppressed the South China Sea, but Zhang Xiang still did not add a whisper, but ordered the tributaries of the South China Sea Domains to count ---- carefully, Zhao Liren has made great contributions to the country, and the number of the court is not rewarded or discussed, this is an injustice to Lord Zhao, and it is not an ordinary injustice, it is an extreme injustice. Presumably, Zhao Liren was also resentful and resentful about this. This time, he set out with the army of Guangnan and marched from the north and south, aiming directly at the capital. This move did not mean to demonstrate, and to pardon Su Shi first to the Queen Mother, and then to pardon his senior brother, that was to alleviate the resentment in Zhao Li's heart.

Your Majesty, do you think that Zhao Liren has a reputation for respecting his teacher, and the court rewards his teacher, if he ignores it and still persecutes the court, in this way, the reputation he created in the past will not be completely ruined. Then who will believe in his doctrines, theories, and ideas in the future? Therefore, the Guangdong Navy Division is not afraid of blockading the Yangtze River, as long as the holy decree of pardoning Su Gong is passed to Zhao Liren, he cannot continue to pretend to be deaf

As for the sage sending Fan Chun to preach comfort, it was the army that plotted against Zhao Liren. I heard that Zhao Liren's army in Liubei Shuihe was dressed in red, this army must be the Vermilion Bird Army, it was the Huanqing musketeers who were handed over to Zhao Liren for training, because they wore red all over their bodies and used firearms, Zhao Liren named it the Vermilion Bird Army.

Your Majesty, you think that in the past, Fan Chun, Zhang, and Zhao Xing joined forces to defeat the attack of the Western Xia people in Huanqing, and the prestige of these three people in Huanqing is unmatched. Now that Zhang has passed away, the only one who can restrain Zhao Liren and the army in Zhao Liren's hands is Fan Chun. As soon as Fan Chun is gone, Zhao Liren wants to use the army in his hand to coerce the imperial court, and I am afraid that there will be some hesitation in his heart. ”

Although the little emperor was young, he was not a fool, he was silent for a moment, and immediately asked: "How do you know that Zhao Liren sent the Suzaku Army?" ”

Gao Yu grinned and asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, do you think Zhao Liren will rebel?" ”
