Sima Guang came out of the Taimiao with heavy steps, and his mood was equally heavy!

Who would have thought that there would be so many earth-shattering things in one day? Emperor Renzong's only son who was exiled among the people was found, and the order of the Great Song Dynasty's succession was inevitably affected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

What he didn't expect was that this person was Lin Zhao, an excellent young man, whose prestige and strength already had a tendency to compete with today's officials.

Today's situation actually has the meaning of saber rattling, the Son of Heaven worships the emperor's uncle, and the King of Qin guards Chang'an, which is destined to be inevitable.

Zhao Zhao's courage in the Taimiao, as well as related actions, made no secret of his attempts at the throne. The instrument is lofty, heroic, and has a smile that has always been light and breezy, revealing strong confidence everywhere.

As the biological son of Emperor Renzong, he is fully qualified to inherit the throne. In the past few years, whether it is sending envoys, investigating cases, governing rivers, and leading the army, he has performed well and made outstanding contributions, and from this point of view alone, he is a very perfect heir to the throne.

It's a pity that the time is wrong, if it was placed ten years ago, or Emperor Renzong's longevity could be ten years longer, it would be extremely perfect. Now it's completely different, in ten years, the Great Song Dynasty has changed two emperors, and many things have long been different......

Jinshang took the initiative to return the throne to the King of Qin? Sima Guang shook his head slightly, in his opinion, this was impossible. Zhao Zongshi took great pains to ascend the throne in the past, how could he let go so easily now?

One wants to get, the other doesn't let go, and the result can only be a fight.

As an old minister, Sima Guang did not want to see such a situation. Looking at those historiographical classics all day long, the ancients fought for the throne. I don't know how much blood flows? Worse may be a threat to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty!

Presumably, Emperor Renzong didn't want to see such a situation in the Heavenly Spirit, right? Sima Guang sighed. Worried, along the way.

When you get home. Madame had prepared dinner, but he had no appetite and was stunned. At such a moment, someone came to report that Mr. Shao Yong had visited!

"Brother Yaofu, when did you come to Bianjing?" In the flower hall, Sima Guang was a little surprised by Shao Yong's itinerary.

"Just arrived today!" Shao Yong smiled and said, "Why is Brother Junshi worried? But what's the trouble? ”

"Alas!"

Without waiting for Sima Guang to speak, Shao Yong said, "Let me guess?" But for today's Taimiao? ”

"You know everything?"

"Nature knows. Bianjing City has become a sensation! ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Qin has returned to the royal family, and Emperor Renzong's bloodline remains, which is a good thing, but ......" Sima Guang couldn't help but sigh again.

"Why does Brother Junshi sigh for a long time?"

Seeing a different smile on the corner of Shao Yong's mouth, Sima Guang's heart suddenly moved, and he said softly: "Brother Yaofu, don't you have any high opinions?" ”

Shao Yong asked unhurriedly: "Brother Junshi, do you still remember, that year in Luoyang, my four-character evaluation?" ”

Sima Guang's thoughts returned to the Luoyang comfort nest of that day. Shao Yong commented when he first saw Lin Zhao. After the incident, he didn't take it to heart. Thinking back at this moment, he muttered: "Zhongxing talent? ”

"I changed a word at the time, in fact, it should be ......" Shao Yong said word by word: "Zhong, Xing, Zhi, Lord!" ”

"Huh?" Sima Guang couldn't help but be surprised, and said suspiciously: "You saw it at that time?" ”

"To be honest, I saw that he had the aura of an emperor at that time, but the hidden dragon was in the abyss, and it was not obvious." Shao Yongdao: "At that time, I was still very puzzled, the Great Song Dynasty was not exhausted, and there was no sign of changing the dynasty, which was very contradictory. Now that the truth is revealed, God has given me a master of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"The Lord of ZTE...... The Lord of Zhongxing ......" Sima Guang pondered silently and asked, "Brother Yaofu is so sure?" He knew Shao Yong's ability to read the fate, but this kind of thing must be accurate?

"Destiny!" Shao Yong said: "It may be unbelievable to say so, Brother Junshi, you can open your eyes and look at the current situation!" ”

"The status quo? What do you mean? ”

"Jinshang and King Qin, make a comparison, it's obvious!" Shao Yong said: "Speaking carefully, he is slightly older than King Qin today, but what about him? narrow-minded, suspicious, indecisive, ambitious, and unrealistic...... In the past few years, Wang Anshi has been reused, saying that he wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but what is the result? The people's lives are more difficult than in the past, almost the people have no livelihood, and the Great Song Dynasty was made by him;

Yongzhou was sent to Bianjing more than a month before asking for help, but Zhao Ji hesitated, so that 60,000 soldiers and civilians died tragically, blood stained the Yongjiang River, and the southwest mountains and rivers changed color; But all the meritorious people, no matter how close or distant they are, which one he doesn't suspect? If the king is suspicious, he is not confident! ”

Sima Guang was silent, what Shao Yong said was the truth, and he knew it best.

"On the other hand, King Qin, has he made less credit over the years? It was he who sent an envoy to the Liao State, dragged the Liao army, and protected our Great Song Dynasty to tide over the difficulties. It was he who quelled Zhao Shiju's rebellion and kept the southeast stable. It was he who governed the Yellow River, so that the people on both sides of the river could have a home and live and work in peace and contentment. It was he who regained the lost territory, expanded the territory, and raised the prestige of our country......" Shao Yong said with a smile: "The merits of King Qin are too numerous to mention, and they are obvious to all. ”

"Brother Yaofu, you have great respect for King Qin, you came here today to ......" Sima Guang was silent at first, and after pondering for a moment, he remembered that Shao Yong seemed to have vaguely mentioned some things before. When he was a bachelor of Hanlin, he participated in political affairs, and he was not a vegetarian in his strategy, so he suddenly had doubts about Shao Yong's intentions.

"Since Brother Junshi has already guessed, then I won't hide it from you!" Shao Yong said in a deep voice: "Actually, I already knew the identity of King Qin!" ”

"You already knew? Did you know it yourself? Or did King Qin take the initiative to inform? Sima Guang immediately asked.

Shao Yong said in a low voice: "Do you remember the heavy rain during the Dragon Boat Festival last year? That night, the eldest son of King Qin was born, and the black dragon rose to the sky and struck the Funing Palace...... The next day, I went to visit...... His Royal Highness the King of Qin! ”

"What do you mean? Could it be that the eldest son of King Qin is really a black dragon? Sima Guang suddenly remembered that he did seem to have heard some rumors in a trance in the past few days.

"That's right!" Shao Yong said: "At that time, I was near the left, and I could see it clearly, the black dragon rose from the Qin Palace. As soon as the prince was born, rain fell from the sky, and as for the lightning strike Funing Palace, it was also for this reason! ”

"When you entered the palace that day, didn't you say ......"

Shao Yong shook his head and said, "That's when I took the initiative to help King Qin cover up and deceive Jinshang." ”

"Are you ......" Sima Guang pondered for a long time, and said leisurely: "So, you came to be a lobbyist for King Qin today?" ”

"It's true. Jun Shi is highly respected and is an important minister of the country, and the King of Qin really hopes to get your assistance! Shao Yong said bluntly: "You are close friends, and I can't bear to be entangled and depressed in Brother Junshi's heart......"

"Assisting King Qin won't be depressed?" Sima Guang asked, "How can you be sure that it must be King Qin who wins the world?" ”

"The destiny is like this, and everyone expects it!" Shao Yongdao: "Renzong's son-in-law is his qualification, he has great military exploits, the army and the people worship him, govern the Yellow River, and the people are grateful." There is a way to win the hearts of the people and win the world, and compared with the King of Qin, there are many inferiors...... Also, in addition to this, King Qin has extremely strong strength. ”

"You mean the Western Army, the land of Guanlong?" Sima Guang's heart was full of shock, King Qin's prestige was high and he won the hearts of the people, this is a fact that must be faced.

"Three times to the northwest, and the Western Xia, Tubo several battles, the northwest soldiers are all to the king of Qin! What's more, now that he has won the title of King Qin and is stationed in Chang'an, Guanzhong Longyou is naturally in the bag! Shao Yong said: "The strength of King Qin is far more than that, how many ministers in the court have a close relationship with King Qin?" ”

"King Qin has wooed them? Did they all defect? Sima Guang was surprised.

"Before this, King Qin had never deliberately wooed anyone, and they didn't know the identity of King Qin." Shao Yong groaned: "But today, they know, they must also make a choice!" ”

Sima Guang asked rhetorically, "Will they definitely choose King Qin?" ”

"Some people will, some people may struggle, but in the end, ...... Zhao Ji will force them all to go to the side of King Qin. Shao Yong gave a different kind of conclusion.

"As for it?" Sima Guang was a little incredulous.

"How not?" Shao Yong asked rhetorically: "Brother Junshi, you know in your heart that you are suspicious today, and after today, there will be even more rumors and suspicions; For example, Ouyang Yongshu, who testified for King Qin today, will Zhao Ji still trust him? Anyone who has had contact with the King of Qin will definitely be suspicious today......

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people, so if you continue to doubt it, where is there anyone available? The courtiers are afraid of suspicion and trepidation, can there be any other choice? Even if you try to defend yourself and show your innocence and loyalty to Zhao Ji, you can guarantee that you will definitely get the understanding and trust of today? It has become a habit to cross the river and tear down the bridge in the past few days, and the civil and military officials all know it. If this continues, the Great Wall will be destroyed today! ”

"Humph!" Sima Guang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Is this really the case?" ”

"Providence makes people, the situation is like this, no one can do anything about it!" Shao Yongdao: "Today's character is already doomed to failure!" ”

"What are you here to do today? Did King Qin have an explanation? ”

"Nope!" Shao Yong said: "King Qin admires Junshi very much, and hopes to get Junshi's assistance, but I don't want to worry, I hope Junshi chooses by himself, and I came here today to make my own opinion." I knew that Brother Jun Shi must be depressed in his heart, so I came to persuade him. There is no need to make a decision immediately, you just need to look carefully at the current situation and the future situation, and any decision made in the future will be respected by King Qin. ”

Shao Yong is gone, he came in a hurry, and he went in a hurry!

Sima Guang's heart is even more complicated, no matter what, an indisputable fact is in front of him, the dragon and the tiger are inevitable, and only one person can sit on the ninety-five position.

As a courtier, he is unwilling to stand in line, but in this position, he is destined to be unable to stand alone. Just like Xining's change of law, the old and new party disputes inadvertently broke out, who can avoid the court?

This time is better than in the past, the Great Song Dynasty, no one can stay out of it! (To be continued.) )
