Chapter 252: Gold Medal for Avoiding Death

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was also uncomfortable, Zhao Yougong grew up watching him. Now, he is so bold as to launch a palace mutiny and plot to usurp the throne, and Zhao Ji personally announced his crime, which is really uncomfortable. Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, let alone Zhao Ji, who treats him as his own.

As the king of a country, Zhao Ji is also involuntarily. It's not that Zhao Ji didn't give the opportunity, it's just that Zhao Yougong is too self-conscious, and he missed it several times, and Zhao Ji can't continue to sit idly by. If he, as the emperor, allowed Zhao Yougong, who was plotting to usurp the throne, he was afraid that the people of the world would follow suit.

If this is really the case, I am afraid that Zhao Ji will have no face to face the ancestors and ancestors, and it is impossible to spoil him, and he will really turn a blind eye and listen to it. Even if you are mediocre and incompetent, you will not ignore the country, so you are afraid that the world will be in chaos.

Zhao Yougong's death penalty is inevitable, and the people present know it, and Zhao Yougong also readily accepts it, without any begging for mercy, he knows that the death penalty is inevitable. A manly man, standing up to the sky, if he dares to do it, he must dare to be it, Zhao Yougong had to bow his head and confess.

Zhao Gou sighed, he knew that it was useless to say more, and it was already very forgiving to seek to usurp the throne and only kill Zhao Yougong alone. If it is really a crime, it should be beheaded by the heirs of the entire Chu Palace, but Zhao Yougong has not yet married a wife and had children, so he has to be killed alone, Zhao seems to have contributed to the court and exempted him from capital crimes, and he has already died in the Great Song Dynasty, so he cannot be convicted at all.

This matter must be given to the people who died in vain, Zhao Yougong was greedy for disaster relief, so that the affected people were displaced, which indirectly caused the people to riot and gather people to revolt, and it was difficult to escape the involvement. Zhao Gou knew that Zhao seemed to have contributed to the court and the society, but he could not atone for his crimes and could not offset the crimes committed by Zhao Yougong.

Zhao Yougong is a rare talent, in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, he was an unknown small role, but he didn't want to have a lot of means, eloquent and strategic, but also both civil and military, if such a talent is used in the right way, it is the luck of the Great Song Dynasty and the blessing of the people.

Zhao Gou sighed secretly: "The law of the country is ruthless, and it has to be done as a last resort!" ”

Zhao Yougong waited for Zhao Ji's verdict and was fully prepared, at this moment, Zhao's voice came into everyone's ears, saying, "Wait!" ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Yi in surprise, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong said sadly: "Thirteenth brother, do you still want to beg for mercy after the matter has come to this?" The law of the land is ruthless! ”

"Brother Huang, have you ever remembered rewarding your brother with an object?" Zhao didn't seem to deny that he wanted to save Zhao Yougong's heart, and took out a token made of pure gold from his arms, and the word 'avoid death' was clearly displayed on it, and he continued: "Brother Huang, the younger brother is willing to save him alone." No matter how disobedient he is, it is understandable, and he asks the royal brother to spare his life! ”

Zhao Ji frowned, looked at Zhao Yi intently, and said in a deep voice: "You really decided to use this token?" ”

This 'death-free gold medal' was personally rewarded by Zhao Ji, and Zhao Gou was also silent, just because this token was related to his mother. Back then, Zhao seemed to fight his body to leave the root of the disease, and almost died at the price, so he was stunned to save his mother from the brink of life and death.

At that time, Zhao seemed to be seriously injured, and he was delayed for a lot of time so that his body was not as good as day by day, Zhao Ji felt that Zhao seemed to have done everything for the Great Song Dynasty, and gave him a 'gold medal for avoiding death', also known as the 'Danshu Iron Coupon'.

In the Great Song Dynasty, only a few people such as Zheng Wang Chai had the 'Danshu Iron Coupon', and during the Song Taizu period, only the Chai family was unique, and even the Prime Minister Zhao Pu and others were not rewarded. Although this 'Death-free Gold Medal' is smaller and not as big as the 'Danshu Iron Coupon', the nature of the 'Death-free Gold Medal' is much larger than it.

The letter on the iron coupon was originally filled with Dansha, which was only given to the official lord and the land, and did not necessarily have the nature of avoiding death, unless it was specially given by the emperor, it was just a certificate of the official.

Now, the 'gold medal for avoiding death' in Zhao Ru's hand is a real exemption from all death sentences, even if it is a major crime of rebellion, but the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped. Zhao seems to have had no choice but to take out this 'death-free gold medal' in order to save his only son.

At the beginning, when Zhao Ji gave Zhao Bi this gold medal, he once said that he would be exempted from all crimes, and then Zhao Bi had the courage to dare to take it out. No matter what Zhao Yougong did wrong, he was still his son in his heart, and his son did something wrong, and his father should bear it, he would rather replace it with his own life than watch his son really be executed.

In addition, Zhao Yougong was only deceived by others, and he was afraid of him, and he was assassinated before he embarked on this road, and it is understandable if it is really discussed. Therefore, Zhao seemed to want to save Zhao Yougong, even if he turned his face with Zhao Ji.

Zhao seemed to solemnly replied: "Brother Huang, the younger brother knows that Gong'er's nature is not bad, but he is deceived by others, so he will go astray, reading this gold medal, and what the younger brother has done for the Great Song Dynasty over the years, I also hope that the imperial brother will bypass Gong'er's life, and the younger brother is willing to thank him with death!" ”

"Thirteenth brother, why are you doing this!"

Zhao Ji sighed, what else could he say when it came to this, he had to agree, from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to see Zhao Ru lose the incense, no matter how he said it, he was also a descendant of the Zhao family, and he had a deep relationship with Zhao Yi, and he really didn't want to see that happen. If Zhao Yougong is really beheaded today, Zhao seems to inevitably have a trace of suspicion in his heart, as long as the crack occurs, the friendship between the two brothers for many years will be ruined.

"I hope the royal brother will be perfected!" Zhao seemed to plead.

Zhao Ji sighed: "It's okay, if I don't kill Yougong, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime will not be escaped!" ”

Zhao seemed to be grateful: "Thank you for the grace of the imperial brother not to kill!" ”

"Father, the child knows that he is wrong, and I am to blame for all this!" Zhao Yougong watched his father plead with the emperor in order to save him, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and secretly decided not to drag down his father, all the mistakes were committed by himself, and the result should be borne by himself.

Watching his father, who stood up to the heavens and the earth, plead so much for himself, this was something he had never seen before. No matter when Zhao seems to have begged anyone, even the current emperor, he has never pleaded for anything. At this time, Zhao Yougong only had endless regret in his heart, and he knew why he had to do it today.

It was also the first time for Zhao Gou to see Zhao Xiang like this, even if he was misunderstood by himself and almost killed, he was uncompromising, and at this moment Zhao Gou could understand Zhao Like's mood. At the same time, Zhao Ji can also understand that the two have grown up together since childhood, and he knows better than anyone what kind of character Zhao seems to be, so he agreed to his request.

Zhao Yougong looked at Zhao Ji with burning eyes, arrogant, knelt on the ground with his knees, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, everything is the fault of the guilty minister, my father is not at fault, all this is the result that the criminal minister should bear, and I ask the emperor to forgive my father's disrespectful sin!" ”

Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Yougong in surprise, saw that his expression was different, and saw him looking at Zhao Yi, kowtowed heavily, and choked up: "Father, the child has disappointed you!" If the criminal minister does not die, what face will he have to meet the emperor, and what face will he face to meet his father, please forgive the child for not being filial, unable to honor you, and unable to serve the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Gong'er! Cannot! ……”

"There is a gong! Cannot! ……”

Zhao Ji and Zhao seemed to be taken aback, and shouted in unison, even if there was a gold medal for avoiding death, Zhao Yougong didn't want to drag down his father, he actually stood up and picked up the long sword, ready to apologize for his crimes, in his opinion, it was a hundred to apologize for his crimes, he knew that all this he had done had broken the hearts of the emperor and his father, and he had no face to see them, only to die!
