Chapter 668: The farce ends

The reason why it is called "Zhuwen" is because although this article is a reply to Zhe Keqiu's edict to go out of the city, it is aimed at the ministers headed by Huang Qianshan, accusing these rebels of coercing the emperor to launch a coup d'état, and the crime is unforgivable. Of course, Zhao Huan understood Xu Liang and Zhe Yan's intentions, they didn't aim at themselves, first, they didn't want the Zhao family to lose face, and then cause people's hearts; The second is to find a good reason for himself to win people's hearts.

"Xu Shao, this son, is really quite his father's demeanor." Zhao Huan said expressionlessly.

Huang Qianshan knelt three steps away from his desk, his hands on the ground, his forehead against the ground, and he had maintained this position for a long time. After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he raised his eyelids to look at him, and said weakly: "Get up, don't kneel." ”

"The minister, in line with his loyalty, and those who are in the same position in the court, support His Majesty to be reinstated. Today, inside and outside the turbulence, all refer to the ministers as jiān rebellion, and hope that Your Majesty will save the ministers! Huang Qianshan said mournfully. Orihiko rejected the introduction of yòu and clearly supported the "prince", which was tantamount to announcing that the end of Huang Qianshan and others had arrived.

The troops in the city will never be able to defeat the army of King Qin, so it is not possible to use force; They supported the restoration of Emperor Taishang, but they were neither recognized by Zhao Chen, nor recognized by most of the courtiers, nor could they obtain the support of the commanders of the army outside, so they could not be reasonable. If the martial arts of the text are not successful, then what else can be done?

Huang Qianshan had a premonition that he was finished.

It should be said that he came out to take the lead to welcome the restoration of the emperor, and he must have a heart. Although he was recommended by Zhu Shengfei to return to the court to serve as the governor, he lived trembling every day and walked on thin ice. I just buried my head in things and didn't dare to say a word. He really hated this kind of day. As for justice, it is not for nothing, he himself did not have a firm political stance, and in the early days he was inclined to fight the main battle, but that was not to restore his homeland and return the capital to Tokyo, but to maintain the status quo. The Jurchens have repeatedly attacked, and the heart of the Song Dynasty is not dead, how can he not be the main battle?

But now, the power is ebbing and waning, and everyone can see that the Dajin Kingdom has no ability to destroy the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, he believes that the war should be over, and it is good to guard the rich land in the south and contain Sichuan and Shaanxi from the side. And Zhao Chen, the emperor, has the common disease of young people, his blood is boiling at any time, and he has long thought about being the king of Zhongxing, restoring the country, and washing away the shame of the country, which is very different from his proposition. And in the original position, he would never dare to say it.

The idea of taking advantage of Zhao Chen's arrival in Geling to welcome Daojun's body to launch a coup d'état was actually proposed by him first. At that time, Zhao Huan and his group were also thinking about seizing the right to preside over the funeral of Daojun, and took advantage of a series of mistakes made by Zhao Chen recently to launch the restoration.

It's a pity that after more than 20 days, this scene seems to be coming to an end. Huang Qianshan could never have imagined that those officials who usually criticize the official family the most were also the most determined people who opposed the restoration of Emperor Taishang this time. Only now did he believe that the original human heart was not only contemplative, but also longed for shame and glory.

It's been less than half a month since the first generation, and it's about to become a cloud of smoke in an instant. Fame and fortune are no longer in a hurry at this time, and what he is worried about now is his life. Xu Liang, this colleague in the Zhongshu Political Affairs Hall exalted him very much, and directly "identified" him as the mastermind of this incident, which is to put it simply, that is, to plot rebellion, although this dynasty has the ancestral motto of "not killing scholars and doctors and people who write and say things", one can always be excluded, that is, rebellion.

Once King Qin's division enters the city, it is very likely that he will be the first to come out to carry the black pot for Zhao Huan, and he will inevitably die.

"What else can be done now?" Zhao Huan sighed. "The prince didn't let go, the minister didn't admit it, Xu Liang folded Yan and led the soldiers and horses to bī, and it really came to ......" The words of desperation, he didn't say it.

Huang Qianshan knocked his head to the ground and said in a lamented voice: "Your Majesty save the minister!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Zongjun hurriedly broke into the hall and said angrily: "Your Majesty, there is news from outside the city, the city must be opened within today, otherwise the army will attack tomorrow morning." The minister personally went to the city, only to see that the soldiers outside the city were already buying equipment! ”

Zhao Huan's face is iron-blue, and Huang Qianshan is almost paralyzed! What to do? Is that really the end of it? A moment later, Luo Ruji, Wang Ciweng and other ministers also hurried over, and as soon as they stepped into the hall, they noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and the "monarchs and ministers" were silent. The disaster did not stop there, and soon, there was a report from Neishì, saying that dozens of ministers, as well as Xu Han, Xu Churen, Wang Shu and others, who had retired from Zhishi, gathered in front of the Xuande Gate of the palace to petition, asking for Zhao Chen's reinstatement.

"It's come to this, what can I do?" Zhao Huan hissed and asked.

What else? Is there a second way now? Although the ministers knew that there was no room for it, no one dared to make it clear. Seeing this, Zhao Huan sighed and said helplessly: "Go to Yong'an Palace and ask the prince Chen." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Qianshan and Wang Ciweng said in unison: "The minister will go immediately!" After that, the two glanced at each other, Huang Qianshan pulled out tuǐ and left, Wang Ciweng was not far behind, what made people's teeth cold was that in a moment, there were as many as six ministers who went out! In the end, only Wang Zongwei and Luo Ruji were left in the hall to accompany Zhao Huan.

And Zhao Huan couldn't get angry at this time, and he didn't care about the two ministers who were still standing in the hall, he took care of himself and sharpened the ink, and later took the pen from the pen stand, dipped it in ink, and seemed to write something. But in the end, he still put down the pen and said in a low voice: "Luo Ruji, draft edict." ”

But at this end, Huang Qianshan almost ran to Yong'an Palace, Wang Ciweng followed behind, and then many ministers rushed to catch up.

After a while, to Yong'an Palace. Huang Qianshan couldn't take a breath, and shouted: "Emperor Fengtai's edict, please restore the official family!" ”

As soon as he roared like this, the guards didn't dare to stop him, and went straight into the palace. asked someone, and learned that after Zhao Chen had dinner this morning, he was reading in the courtyard and hurried over. Under the eaves of the atrium of Yong'an Palace, a chair was set up and a low table was placed, and Zhao Chen was sitting there, holding a book and reading it very attentively. Behind him stood an inner shì, and watching.

Huang Qianshan straightened his clothes slightly, and glanced at Wang Ciweng, who was doing the same thing as him, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"Minister Huang Qianshan, on the order of the emperor, I will welcome the official family here."

When Zhao Chen heard this voice, he put down the book and turned his head to take a look. I don't know if he didn't pay attention to the change in Huang Qianshan's title, as if he was not interested, he went back to read the book, and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

Huang Qianshan didn't have time to answer, and the ministers who came behind him arrived, squeezing and kneeling outside the threshold. Only then did Zhao Chen realize that something was wrong, and he got up and asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

"Edict, please restore the official family!" Huang Qianshan said.

Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, his expression was as usual, and he couldn't see joy or resentment at all, so he only said: "Taishang is not a system? ”

One sentence made the ministers speechless, and it was not good to tell the truth, so they knelt upright, and did not dare to breathe. Seeing this situation, Zhao Chen also guessed a few points in his heart, shook his sleeves, and said loudly: "Let's go." After speaking, he walked away. Huang Qianshan and the others hurriedly got up and followed.

When they arrived at Boya Building, they knew that Zhao Huan and the others had gone to the Senior Palace, so they went again. The palace of the Song Dynasty, like the "Fengtian Palace" of the Ming Dynasty, the "Huangji Palace", and the "Taihe Palace" of the Qing Dynasty, was the place where the state held major ceremonies.

When Zhao Chen arrived in the hall, there were only three people in the hall except for Neishì. Zhao Huan sat next to the throne in the palace, and Wang Zongwei and Luo Ruji knelt under His Royal Highness.

Zhao Chen didn't look at the two courtiers who led troops to surround the mountain that day, and only saluted Zhao Huan and didn't speak. Zhao Huan pointed to the throne next to him, and said bluntly: "This position, after all, I still have you to sit." ”

Zhao Chen still didn't say a word, and when Zhao Huan saw this, he ordered: "Xuan Zhao." ”

Luo Ruji, who was kneeling on the ground, got up at this time, took the edict in front of him, took it, his voice trembled a little, and he stammered many times after reciting the edict for a short period of time. What he said was nothing more than Zhao Huan's decision to abdicate again and give Zhao Chen a lesson.

After the edict was announced, Zhao Huan said again: "Huang Qianshan, take the yellow robe and give it to the Son of Heaven." ”

When Nei shì held the crown costume of the Son of Heaven, and Huang Qianshan put it on Zhao Chen with his own hands, the emperor stretched out his hand to block it, and he didn't look at him, Huang Qianshan was terrified!

When Zhao Huan saw it, it was inconvenient to say anything, and said, "Please ask the emperor to ascend the throne." ”

Zhao Chen went up steadily, climbed the steps to the throne, and slowly sat down, and all the ministers of His Highness shouted long live! After the simple ceremony was completed, Zhao Huan didn't seem to want to stay longer, and said: "I will return to Deshou Palace, the ministers are outside the Xuande Gate at the moment, and the emperor can summon him." After finishing speaking, he asked Nei shì to carry him down to the palace and go to Deshou Palace.

Zhao Chen still didn't open his mouth, and only got up to say goodbye. When Zhao Huan passed by Huang Qianshan's side, the latter raised his head slightly, full of begging eyes, but Zhao Huan held his head high and looked straight ahead, without looking at him.

As soon as Zhao Huan left, His Royal Highness, these ministers seemed to be cramped, and they all bowed their heads to the ground, not daring to look up. Zhao Chen didn't have anything to say to them, so he only ordered: "Spread the edict, announce the ministers and see you." ”

Outside the Xuande Gate, the main gate of the palace, the situation is similar to that of the senior palace, and the ministers who are kneeling all over the place. Up to the veteran figures who have already sent to the office, such as Xu Han, the former governor of Xifu, Xu Churen, the former prime minister, Wang Shu, the deputy envoy of the former Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu, and the officials who have gone down to the temple supervisors and even the officials in the office, all maintain the posture of the same people. Kneeling on the ground, the upper body is straight, and the face is solemn and meticulous.

They had already learned the news that King Qin's army was coming to the city, and at this time, they used this form to put pressure on the palace and ask Zhao Chen to be reinstated.

This kind of scene has never been seen before. The people were separated by soldiers on the periphery, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the main entrance of the palace, and people were talking violently, all speculating about what was going on.

After a while, Neishì came out of the Xuande Gate and said loudly: "By the order of the Holy Lord, the Xuanzhong Minister's Senior Minister's Palace will be promoted!" ”

When the hundred officials heard this, they got up one after another, leaned forward to take the handle, helped Xu Han Xu Churen and other old ministers, and said gossipingly: "This way, no matter what, if you want to move the emperor, you can't make any more trouble!" "They don't know that Zhao Chen has been reset just now.

Dozens of ministers flocked to the palace, and there were non-stop discussions on the road, and everyone was in a state of emotion, and all of them were enthusiastic. But when they arrived at the Senior Palace, they looked up and were collectively dumbfounded! How, how is the Holy here? Looking at it again, Huang Qianshan, Wang Zongmi, Luo Ruji, Wang Ciweng and other "rebel ministers" all bowed down to His Royal Highness.

The ministers finally understood what was going on, and the gift had not yet been given, so they cheered first!

Xu Churen swung his robe, knelt down, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The ministers just woke up, and the voice of long live resounded in the hall! Only then did Zhao Chen turn to the back, change the emperor's crown clothes, and then be congratulated by the ministers, announcing the official reinstatement. On the occasion of the monarch and ministers rejoicing, Huang Qianshan and other ministers have always maintained a posture of prostration, not daring to move lightly.

Zhao Chen was naturally happy to be reinstated, but he was more concerned about one thing, and after the ministers congratulated him, he asked eagerly: "Is there any news from Xu Liang?" ”

"Your Majesty, Xu Shenzheng Xuanfu is the same as the division of King Qin, and he is outside the city!"

Zhao Chen is overjoyed! bounced up from the throne at once, and said quickly: "Quick, announce the two virtuous kings to enter the palace!" At this time, he knew that the reason why the Emperor Taishang returned to the throne was because Xu Liang Zheyan had arrived!

Neishì got the emperor's edict, and after leaving the palace, Pegasus went out of the city. As soon as the city gate opened, several people were shocked! I saw a sea of people outside the city, and the heavily armed soldiers were buying equipment and preparing to attack the city! Before they arrived at the barracks, a few people were stopped, and those vulgar soldiers didn't care about your inner and outer shì, and if they did, they went to see Zhe Xuanfu.

At that time, Zheyan was studying the city defense of Hangzhou with his generals, and I heard that there was an edict from Neishì, which was probably sent by the Emperor Taishang, but I don't know whether to agree to our request.

Several Neishì were brought to the tooth tent, and they didn't recognize Orihiko, but they found Xu Liang at a glance. They all rushed over and said happily: "Xu participates in politics, and the official family is summoned to the palace!" ”

Seeing their appearance, Xu Liang's heart moved, and he asked, "What is the situation in the city?" ”

"Just before, the Emperor Taishang had already taken the throne, and the ministers entered the palace to congratulate him, and the saint heard that he was participating in politics and folding Xuanfu outside the city, so he sent villains and others to summon him!" A articulate in-pass fast voice.

As soon as the word came out, the tent was full of jubilation!

Xu Liang couldn't hold back his movements, and asked repeatedly, "Really?" Really? ”

"It's true! How dare the villain joke about this? "Nei shì said happily.

Xu Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his mouth, turned his head and said to Zheyan: "The soldiers are not bloody, and the great thing has been accomplished." ”

Zhi Zhonggu said with a smile: "I thought that it was indispensable to use swords, but I didn't want to go as I wished to participate in politics, and no blood was shed." ”

At that moment, the two of them changed their crown clothes, and Zhi Yanzhi specially brought his 2,000 pro-soldiers, all of whom were tall and young, with bright armor and neat footsteps, which was daunting. Then, with this army of soldiers and horses, he went to the city in high spirits. The people in the city of Hangzhou did not know what was happening, and when they saw an army entering the city, they hid at home and did not dare to come out. At most, the doors and windows are opened, and they are secretly looking.

In front of the palace, Zhi Yan ordered 2,000 elite soldiers to be lined up in front of the palace, and he entered the forbidden place with Xu Liang. As soon as he entered the Xuande Gate, he bumped into the emperor's most trusted eunuch, Shen Ze.

"Oh, Xu participated in politics, folded Xuanfu, the official family couldn't wait for a long time in the senior palace, and the villain came to greet him. Hurry up, the officials and ministers are waiting for two miles. "Shen Ze is very attentive. On Geling that day, when Xu Liang asked him to report, he was not so enthusiastic.

However, Xu Liang knew that he was deeply favored by the emperor, so he said politely: "Labor leads the way." ”

How could Zhi Yanzhi put the eunuch in his eyes, he shouldn't say anything, just follow it. On the way, because Xu Liu asked, Shen Ze sent the edict of the Emperor Taishang to abdicate, Huang Qianshan waited until Yong'an Palace to welcome the official's family to reinstate, the ministers petitioned, and entered the court to congratulate and other things in general terms. Then he added: "This time, the two ministers have made great contributions!" ”

"It should be, but it's just the duty of a minister." Xu Liangdao. Zhi Yanzhi only smiled, and was still thinking in his heart, you are a dignified governor of political affairs, and you have made great contributions this time, what nonsense do you talk about with an inner shì, don't you have a ** share?

In front of the senior palace, the two of them tidied up their clothes, and Shen Xue reported from inside. After a while, he replied that the Son of Heaven had called!

When Xu Liang and Zheyan stepped into the palace, they were greeted with countless eyes of approval! If it weren't for the palace, the ministers would have already embraced it! Under the attention of hundreds of civil and military officials, the two went to His Royal Highness, pushed the golden mountain, poured the yù pillar, and shouted Long live!

When Zhao Chen saw the two, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and said busily: "The two virtuous people are flat. After they got up, he said, "I have heard that the reason why the major events can be decided is because of the power of the second secretary to lead the army and the king of Qin, and the hero of the real society!" ”

Xu Liang said humbly: "Your Majesty has received a lot of help, how dare the minister speak out?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi also said: "This minister is just his duty. ”

Zhao Chen nodded frequently, and said to the ministers: "As the saying goes, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board dàng knows the loyal ministers." After this change, I know the loyalty jiān! ”

All the ministers sighed, but in the ears of some people, it was like a bolt from the blue! This group of people is Huang Qianshan and others who are still kneeling next to him.

Zhao Ding had been closing his door to thank customers, but the ministers came to petition, and they also took into account their special status, so they didn't ask him to partner with him. But at this moment, he has been announced to the palace, and after listening to the emperor's words, he went out and said: "Your Majesty, the country has its own laws, and the ministers of Jiān have coerced the emperor and launched a coup d'état, which is a great crime!" Please act strictly according to the law to set an example! ”

Zhao Chen nodded: "I have my own measure in this matter. The ministers will retreat first, and each department will do its own job, and now that I have been reinstated, I must not abandon the government. The line is to lift martial law, open all gates, and listen to the people's convenience. Xu Liang, Zhe Yanzhi, and Zhao Ding stayed, and in addition, He Qing, the secretary of Dali Temple, also stayed. ”

When the ministers heard this, they all secretly said that if the official family stayed in Dali Temple, I am afraid that the judiciary will be activated. Huang Qianshan and others have been characterized as "coercing the Emperor Taishang, coup d'état restoration", the crime is unforgivable, and what awaits them will be the trial of Dali Temple!

Huang Qianshan didn't say it, he participated in the mastermind as a governor of political affairs, and his crime was extremely heinous, and I am afraid that he would not be able to escape death. Luo Ruji had already violated the law, if it weren't for special reasons, he would have become a prisoner a long time ago, and this time it is estimated that it will not be light! As for Wang Zongwei and Wang Ciweng, they are all people who make accounts for the tiger, and they must not be let go easily!

Huang Qianshan stood up strongly, probably kneeling for too long, and he was a little uncomfortable when he just got up, he only felt a buzz in his head, and as soon as his eyes were dark, he fell down......
