597th Smooth Handover 5th Update
Cai Lanling and Cai Yinghua did this to guard against Zhao Xu.
In case one day, this young and vigorous official family can no longer tolerate the Cai family, or even if it is unfavorable to Cai Dao, they can get the news one step ahead.
Unexpectedly, in this great change in the palace, these female spies were able to play an unexpected but decisive role.
Since Zhao Xu has died, and Empress Liu has also died by suicide. Then, there was no more danger in the palace, and Cai Lanling and Cai Yinghua withdrew the two foreign Jieyu, as well as the female spies beside Zheng Li'er.
However, they still left many such female spies in other places in the palace.
These female spies are either princesses or princes, and even there is one by Meng's side, and there are no female spies who follow Zhao Xu's concubines. And Empress Dowager Zhu has always used the people she is used to. Therefore, Cai Lanling and Cai Yinghua have never found a chance.
No, now the Empress Dowager Zhu has changed her title, and the Empress Dowager Zhu has been promoted to the Empress Dowager, and the Meng family has also been restored to the Empress Dowager and promoted to the Empress Dowager. After all, Meng was the biological mother of the new emperor, and when the news was announced, all the civil and military officials in the main hall were silent one by one, and no one dared to say anything about this matter.
You must know that when Zhao Xu was abolished, most of the officials responded to the two bastards Zhang Duan and Xing Shu, and rashly participated in the abolition of the queen.
Looking back now, what a stupid time!
Think about the original Empress Dowager Xiang and the Empress Liu who died by herself, didn't they end up so bleak and pathetic because they didn't give birth to a son for the emperor or raise a son.
At this time, if anyone talks nonsense, if they anger Empress Dowager Meng, the consequences will be unimaginable.
However, there is one thing that makes the civil and military officials in the court feel strange, the new emperor ascends the throne, such an important matter, but the Minister of Finance Zhang Duan and the Imperial History have never shown up from beginning to end.
Could it be that the two of them really participated in the unhearable thing initiated by Empress Liu as rumored?
If it's true, then Master Zhang must have been pitted by this guy who has not done enough to do things.
Looking back now, every time this guy planned something, maybe it went relatively smoothly at the beginning, but there were always very big sequelae in the matter itself.
After the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, the Empress Dowager personally met Zhang Dian in her Cining Palace, and outsiders did not know what the two people said.
However, on the second day, Zhang Dian took the initiative to hand over the request to Zhishi, of course, Xiao Zhao Ban could not immediately allow it, after three consecutive times, the Empress Dowager issued an order, and Zhang Dian was appointed as the mountain envoy.
And the criminal forgiveness was directly dismissed and returned to his hometown, never to be used.
As for another big man who leaned towards the government and the opposition, Liang Shicheng, the great eunuch who was in charge of the Imperial City Division and Zhao Xu's side, was directly given to death in the prison of the Imperial City Division.
It is very ironic that he died in a very good place, but most of the eunuchs in the palace did not feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, because they all knew that Liang Shicheng was in a high position, but he did not have the slightest vigilance and ability to deal with emergencies, and he made big mistakes one after another in the matter of Empress Liu. What's more, the emperor was able to die in such a way, and there was no Liang Shicheng instigated by him.
Therefore, Cai Dao did not intercede for this old acquaintance.
Zhao Xu died young, and Zhao Ban, who was only five years old, had to succeed to the throne, and the world was shaken.
However, from the emperor to the civil and military officials of the Western Xia Kingdom, no one had the slightest intention to take the opportunity to raise troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhang Dian was appointed as the envoy of the mountain tomb, and he must have lost power, so his cousin Zhang Kai, the envoy of Huanqing Road, must also be suspicious. The strength of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be damaged. However, the appointment of one person made the young people of the Quartet take the initiative to retreat.
This person is none other than Cai Dao.
Cai Dao was stripped of his robe in Cining Hall and appointed as the third envoy as a cloth cloth, and this matter quickly spread all over the world.
And his eldest son, Cai Hai, the eldest son born to the little confused Lu Mang, was crowned with the title of marquis, and the specific title was not confirmed until he became an adult.
This is what Cai Dao meant, since he wants to be a marquis, it is better to give the title to his son directly, and the Empress Dowager also allowed this matter.
Cai Dao did not personally lead the troops to fight a battle in the Great Song Dynasty, but the world knows that Guo Kui led 300,000 forbidden troops who were not able to completely defeat the Great Yue Kingdom, but the Lingnan militia of less than 30,000 people recruited by him destroyed the country in one fell swoop, and killed Li Changjie, who slaughtered the city that year, and the lord of the Great Yue Kingdom was sacrificed to Song Shenzong. With such a record, Li Qianshun, the emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, was terrified just thinking about it.
He didn't want to be caught by Cai Dao in Bianliang City to be castrated or chopped alive.
Li Qianshun understood that since the Western Xia Kingdom had signed a peace treaty with Zhao Xu, as long as they did not die, Cai Dao had no excuse to send troops to attack the Western Xia. After all, the new monarch of the Great Song Dynasty is still young, and the lord and young ministers suspect that as an important minister, he will definitely not use swords and soldiers before the new emperor is in power.
The murderous name is a perfect interpretation of Cai Dao's name. He had already spread all over the four realms of the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, this time the regime of the Great Song Dynasty changed, and the transfer of power was very smooth, which was more stable and stable than the succession of previous emperors.
All of a sudden, the Quartet came to the court, and even the envoys sent by the Great Liao State to sacrifice and celebrate the succession of the new emperor did not have the arrogance of the past.
The people of the three classes of agriculture and industry in Bianliang City were even more stable, and they returned to their former tranquility on the second day of the new emperor's accession to the throne.
……
However, Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, guessed one thing wrong.
Cai Dao really wanted to completely solve the worries of the Great Song State before Zhao Ban's pro-government - to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun ceded by Shi Jingjiao to the Liao State, which was the eternal pain of the Central Plains Dynasty after the Later Jin Dynasty.
The next day, Cai Dao entered the palace and proposed several personnel appointments in front of the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Meng, and Xiao Zhao, and these people are all related to Cai Dao himself, to put it more bluntly, these people are Cai Dao's privates.
First of all, it is about the military.
The first two people appointed by the military were Pan Xiong and Cao Hu.
Cai Dao suggested that the two of them were appointed as the other two military chiefs of the Sanya, and the guards were both the commanders of the guards and the horses, and the guards were the commanders of the infantry troops, while Di'an's position was inconvenient, so he continued to serve as the commander of the palace.
For this appointment, Cai Dao is not very insistent.
After all, these two people have a relationship with Cai Dao. One person is now Cai Dao's concubine brother, and the other person was Cai Dao's direct subordinate when he conquered the Great Yue Kingdom in the south.
