Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Queen's Empress, and the Capture of the Sect is a top priority

Wen Huanzhang said: "Exactly, in the previous correspondence with the lord, the lord also faintly revealed some plans, and taught me and Gao Taiwei to find a suitable successor in the court. The subordinates of the pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info thought that the lord's plan was to stabilize the word first, and although Zhao Song was bound to die, he should first resist foreign insults and then settle down. Now Kaifeng is threatened by the Jin soldiers, if there are no reinforcements, sooner or later the city will be broken. After the city of Kaifeng is broken, up to the official family, down to the hundred officials, will be wiped out, at this time, if we can first support a Zhao Song clan, we can support this person in his land to succeed to the throne first, the lord of the narrow son of heaven to order the princes, most of the world will be in the lord's father. After the Jin people are expelled, the lord must already have the situation in the court, and whether it is to do Cao Wei or Sui Wen in the future, it will be logical. ”

Gao Yu applauded and said: "This strategy is very good, borrow the hands of the golden people, clean up those faint kings and greedy ministers in the court, and the lord supports one person outside, which can just block the mouths of the people in the world, and work together to resist foreign insults first." After the expulsion of foreign insults, the Lord's justice is the time when the prestige of the heavens is shaken, and the Zen position can be obtained, and the national dynasty can be opened, and the destiny of heaven will be followed. ”

Sanniang smiled: "As the two of you said, the best and safest way for me to go is this one." But to be able to go down this path, there are still a few conditions. Wen Huanzhang said: "The subordinates dare to guess, the first thing is to ensure that within the Zhao Song clan, except for the candidates we selected, no one else can escape the blade of the Jin soldiers." ”

Sanniang smiled and said nothing, but Gongsun Sheng bowed his head and said: "Exactly, if the prince of Zhao Song or others escapes, someone must support him and come to sing against us, so that he is not waiting to expel the Jin people, but I am afraid that the Han people will first fight for who is orthodox, and it will be useless for the country." ”

Wen Huanzhang continued: "The second is that this person can be controlled by me, so I can play with him and applaud him and set him up as a puppet. ”

Gao Yu said: "Speaking of candidates, my subordinates think that there is a person who is very suitable. This morning, the official family announced their will, and Zhao Gou, the king of Jiaokang, was the envoy to the Jin State, which was to seek peace. King Kang will leave tomorrow morning and go to Hebei. The subordinates thought that this King Kang was more suitable. ”

Wen Huanzhang said: "King Kang is frugal and benevolent, and it is more than enough to keep the text with it, and it is not his talent to set things right." It is because I feel that it can be supplemented by the temporary monarchy, and when the city is broken, the Song family is defeated, and the lord is in charge of the government, using it as a puppet, calling on the world's military horses to resist foreign insults. When the lord is full-fledged, the prince of heaven will order the princes, and when the time is ripe, he can teach him the Zen position, which is a perfect strategy. ”

Sanniang listened to Wen Huanzhang's comments on Zhao Gou, and secretly shook her head in her heart, this Zhao Gou is frugal and benevolent? But judging from the fact that this guy later harmed Marshal Yue on trumped-up charges, he couldn't get involved in benevolence, and in order to keep his throne, he allowed his father, brother, wife and many relatives of the Zhao and Song royal families to suffer in the north, and his refusal to go on the Northern Expedition was clear, so ruthless, and even less benevolent. As for frugality, it can't be talked about, after he crossed to the south and succeeded to the throne, the small court of Lin'an still built a lot of buildings, treated soldiers with military merits, and wantonly fell, where is there a little humility and frugality?

Wen Huanzhang is right in the next paragraph, this Zhao Gou is also the same as his father and brother, he is a literati, in the prosperous era, it is more than enough to be a king of success, but if he is a king of Zhongxing who sets things right, he does not have this ability. Therefore, after the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, he set the tone of a corner of peace, and as a result, the northern territory was lost, until the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, and the Han nation recovered the land north of the Huai River.

As for Zhao Gou's good control? Sanniang doesn't see it that way, this Zhao Gou is already an adult, he is not a fool, he will be at the mercy of others, just look at his actions for the throne, he did not hesitate to support Qin Hui to clean up Marshal Yue, he will still play with power, and it is not the best choice to use him as a puppet emperor.

In the secret room, Gongsun Sheng saw Sanniang's hesitant face, and coughed lightly at the moment: "I have always supported the puppet emperor, if it weren't for this person's dementia, it should be that he was still young, this King Kang is not stupid, and he is not young, so he is not the best choice." Moreover, King Kang is the brother of the current official family, and the brother is the last brother and the last brother is very good. I heard that the new official family has established a crown prince in April this year, which is Zhao Chen, the eldest son of the official family and Empress Zhu, this prince is nine years old, why don't you consider this prince? ”

Wen Huanzhang and Gao Yu glanced at each other, and both of them thought in their hearts, the Gongsun Sheng in front of him seemed to be just a Taoist priest who was good at Taoism, but he didn't want to be so good at plotting power, in a word. At that moment, Wen Huanzhang bowed down and said: "What Mr. Gongsun said is extremely true, but there are three reasons for what we are worried about. One is that the crown prince Zhao Chen is the only son today, who was named the crown prince at the age of nine, and led the inspection of the major master and the envoy of the Ning Guojun, which was very favored by the officials. We are all surrounded by official cronies, and it is difficult for us to arrange personal affairs. Second, the prince lives in the East Palace, and it is difficult to leave Tokyo easily, unless the Jin soldiers come to the city, and the official son of heaven decrees, the prince of the East Palace can leave. The third is also what Mr. Gongsun said, if this King Kang succeeds to the throne, it is a brother and a brother, and he will always be unjustifiable, and the future Zen position, the resistance may be small, and if the prince succeeds to the throne, it is orthodox, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no obstacles. ”

Sanniang smiled and said: "When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he abolished the young emperor and replaced the emperor, but I am afraid that the fight is also such an idea." When Gao Yu and Wen Huanzhang heard this, their faces changed, and both of them fell to the ground, and pleaded guiltily: "The subordinates have no intention of comparing the lord with Dong Zhuo." ”

Sanniang smiled, helped the two of them up, and said lightly: "What if it is compared to Dong Zhuo?" He is not the usurper after all. Wen Huanzhang and Gao Yu got up and said yes. Sanniang said again: "In fact, no matter which one is supported in the future, this hundred-legged insect of the Great Song Dynasty will die but not stiffen, and someone will come out to be the widow of the Great Song Dynasty." But if you want to have better control and less resistance in the future meditation position, I have an idea for the three of you to refer to. ”

Gongsun Sheng and the other three all said: "I want to hear and see." Sanniang said word by word: "If all the men of the Zhao and Song royal families fall into the hands of the enemy, and there is only one emperor left, how about I support the establishment of a female emperor?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were stunned, opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them, and after a long time, Wen Huanzhang muttered: "The idea of the lord is really wild, it is really unexpected." Gao Yu frowned and said: "Succeeding to the throne with the emperor is too whimsical, there are thousands of men in the Zhao and Song clans, why did you think of setting up an emperor as the emperor?" ”

Gongsun Sheng pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "The subordinates think that the succession of the emperor Ji is to cut off the heirs of Zhao and Song, but the lord wants to pass on the empress to the empress when the throne is given to the lord in the future, and the lord has less resistance?" ”

Sanniang smiled and said nothing, Wen Huanzhang has been pondering the gains and losses of this strategy in his heart, and then said: "The empress will pass on the empress, the resistance will definitely be smaller, no matter which emperor is established, its blessing will definitely not be as good as the lord, and the future Zen position will be justified." But this premise is that the men of the Zhao and Song clans cannot slip through the net. ”

Gongsun Sheng smiled: "What's so difficult about this? The Zhao and Song clans, regardless of the prince, the prince, the county king, and the heirs of close relatives, are all in Kaifeng, and if the Jin people want to destroy the Song Dynasty, they will definitely slaughter the Zhao and Song men. "In the Song Dynasty, since Zhao Kuangyi sought to seize his brother's throne, in order to prevent his heirs from rebelling and seizing the throne, Zhao Song has always gathered almost all the descendants of the clan in Kaifeng and raised them in captivity, unlike the Ming Dynasty, where the royal heirs were divided into various places. This is also why when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, only one Zhao Gou escaped, and the rest of the clans were taken away by the Jin people, and Zhao Gou became the only legitimate heir, and then established the Southern Song Dynasty.

And the Jin people's practice after breaking Kaifeng is ruthless, in addition to the clan men must all be kidnapped to the north, even Zhang Bangchang wants to protect several pregnant clan wives have been recognized by Sticky Han, and all the pregnant clan wives have also been abducted and gone north, the Jin people just want Zhao Song to cut off the heir. The idea of the Jin people is very simple, although the Song Dynasty is weak, but after all, the Han Dynasty is vast and has a large population, and it is not easy to completely conquer it. But I didn't think that a Zhao Jianli Southern Song Dynasty came out later, and the wishful thinking of the Jin people did not start.

Hearing Gongsun Sheng say everything about slaughtering Zhao and Song Nanding, Wen Huanzhang and Gao Yu both gasped, and secretly said in their hearts: "What a ruthless Dao master." But he still didn't dare to show it on his face, Gao Yu hesitated: "I'm afraid that the Jin people don't dare to kill so many clans." ”

Sanniang bowed slightly: "It is unlikely that they will be slaughtered, but it is very likely that they will be captive, look at the destruction of the Liao State, and all the clans of the Liao State will be abducted and imprisoned by the Jin people, and the Jin people will not kill those many clans, and the most likely thing is to kidnap them to the north and imprison them." ”

Wen Huanzhang said: "It is not impossible to make the emperor the empress, but the emperor lives deep in the palace, and it is difficult to escape like the prince." Moreover, if the Jin people see that our army can't resist the enemy in the future, and let a few clan disciples come back, there will definitely be a storm of competition for the throne. ”

Sanniang smiled faintly, her face was full of sinisterness, and she said suspiciously: "As long as they go to the north, there is no possibility of them coming back." "Sanniang is right, although the Jin people can put a few princes back to fight for the throne after Sanniang set up the emperor as the empress, and add blockage to Sanniang, but I believe that by that time, Sanniang has already mastered the center, not to mention whether Sanniang will let these people come back in the internal arrangements arranged by Sanniang in the north, even if they really come back, is your prince true or false or not a word from Sanniang, the person in power?

Wen Huanzhang couldn't help but shudder, and thought to himself: "Does the lord have any deep hatred with Zhao Song?" Sanniang glanced at him, as if she had seen through Wen Huanzhang's thoughts, and said slowly: "I don't have any deep hatred with Zhao Song, but from the standpoint of the Han people in the world, it is best for Zhao Song's heirs to stay in the north and not come back." At that time, as soon as they came back, the Han people had to fight among themselves again, and the dead and wounded were still Han people, so for the sake of the lives of many soldiers and civilians, it was still worth killing several of their clans. ”
