Chapter 84: The Emperor's Thoughts (Part II)
The official Zhang Piguang was sparse and suggested that Zhao Hao, the adult King of Qi, move out of the palace. After all, Emperor Zhao already has concubines, and there are adult men living in it, so it is naturally not very convenient.
Not to mention anything else, at least there is nothing wrong with the content of the proposal, but it angered the Empress Dowager Gao and was considered to be provoking royal relations.
I wanted to admonish and punish, but fortunately, Wang Anshi, a bachelor of Hanlin, came forward to defend it. Who knew that Cheng Lu Zhi was unwilling in the imperial history, and Shangshu impeached, saying that Wang Anshi and Zhang Piguang, as well as the protagonist Lin Zhao on the cusp of the storm, formed a friend.
It is not groundless for others to say this, Zhang Piguang is already close to Wang Anshi, and Lin Zhao was recommended and promoted by Wang Anshi. At this critical moment, Zhang Piguang's negligence inevitably made people think that he was helping Lin Zhao exonerate, and Wang Anshi's maintenance was even more inexplicable.
Even so, the most touched by this letter was not a few parties, but the Queen Mother.
This letter was handed over to her by the eldest son, Emperor Zhao Ji, knowing that she would be furious after reading it, but it was still handed over to her.
In an instant, Gao Tao clearly realized that the eldest son's motive was not pure, and the distance between mother and son was getting farther and farther.
Zhao Ji and Zhao Hao are both her biological sons, but Gao Tao obviously dotes on her second son even more. It's not that he doesn't like Zhao Ji, but because the eldest son has been cultivated as the prince of the country since he was a child, and he needs to be strict and calm, especially after he is the crown prince and ascends the throne as the emperor, he has fewer opportunities to share his family.
After her husband's death, Gao Taotao focused all her thoughts on her children. can't get close to Zhao Hao, and all the maternal love falls on Zhao Hao, and the pampering has reached the level of doting.
This time her youngest son was beaten, she was furious and demanded that the murderer Lin Zhao be severely punished, and revenge Zhao Hao to relieve the hatred in her heart. But after seeing the expression and attitude of the eldest son, Gao Taotao suddenly realized that his doting on the second son might be harmful to him, because this behavior had already caused the eldest son to be dissatisfied.
It's not that the eldest son is jealous, the most important thing is that their brother was born in the royal family. The eldest son is the emperor, and before there is no healthy adult heir, the younger brother Zhao Hao seems to be the second in line to the throne of the Great Song Dynasty. Even at the moment, Zhao Hao is a threat to Zhao Hao to some extent.
is also the son of Song Yingzong, the empress dowager Gao Taotao obviously loves the second son more, if there is any change, it is not impossible to abolish the establishment. You must know that the queen mothers of the Great Song Dynasty are extraordinary, and they often have real power. Before this, Empress Dowager Cao almost abolished Song Yingzong, and for Zhao Ji, the lessons of the past had to be guarded against.
What's more, Zhao Guangyi made a good start for the descendants behind him, and it is not impossible for a brother to end his brother. Gao Taotao understood that Zhao Hao was worried that Zhao Hao would become the second Song Taizong, and that he would be the second Empress Dowager Du. Or the relationship between Empress Dowager Dou of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Liu Wu, King of Liang. The queen mother's doting on her second son may cause waves and even crises in all dynasties.
After Zhao Hao was injured, Zhao Hao was just a courtesy condolence, even if he was in a hurry, but Zhao Hao never made it clear that he would punish the murderer. even kept emphasizing that Zhao Hao was at fault and was guilty. It can be seen that Zhao Hao does not seem to stand out for Zhao Hao, and even wants to fight Zhao Hao.
For example, now there are rumors in the market, and Zhao Hao's reputation is almost ruined. Another is Zhang Piguang's slightness, the emperor wants to take advantage of this opportunity to drive Zhao Hao out of the palace and reduce the threat to the throne. It is even possible that this matter was directed by Zhao Xu, and if Lin Zhao is just an executor, it would be terrifying.
Song Shenzong Zhao Ji is not a guess when he suspects that Zhao Hao, the king of Qi, is not a guess, there is a record in the history books, in the seventh year of Xining, the empress dowager and the empress dowager cried to him, changed the law and messed up the world, and asked for abolition. Zhao Hao, the king of Qi, helped beside him, insulted Wang Anshi, said that the new law was harmful to the country, and demanded that it be abolished.
At that time, Zhao Ji replied in a deep voice: "It's me who has harmed the country, why don't you do it?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Zhao Hao knelt on the ground in fright and begged for mercy, pleading his innocence, if it weren't for the queen mother of the two palaces by his side to plead, I don't know what would have happened? Zhao Ji said this at the time, was it just because he was angry? I'm afraid that I have always been suspicious in my heart. Whoever made them born in the royal family, the brotherhood is ranked after the throne and power.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Ji only took Lin Zhao to the Tang Mansion yesterday to offer condolences, obviously with the intention of helping Lin Zhao exonerate. At this time, the emperor still defended this person, and his attitude was obvious.
Gao Tao was very remorseful, he was thinking about how to be angry for Zhao Hao before, and the so-called concern was chaotic, and he didn't even notice it. I'm afraid that the more intense my attitude is, the more uncomfortable my eldest son Zhao Ji will be.
She herself is definitely not afraid of Zhao Ji, although her son's behavior is understandable, Gao Taotao feels that this child seems to be a little calculating and disobedient. But even then, she had to think carefully. The first is Zhao Hao's reputation, this time the news spread so widely, Yu Qiwang's reputation was greatly affected. There is also safety, if he lives for a day, Zhao Hao is naturally fine. But if he is a hundred years old, if Zhao Hao does not know how to restrain himself, he may face the disaster of killing, and the power of the imperial family related to the throne is so ruthless......
Even if Zhao Hao has no intention of snatching the throne, Zhao Hao is definitely not at ease, there is a way to be guilty, that's it. Gao Taotao knew that if she continued to spoil her second son like this, sooner or later there would be disaster, after all, she was a mother of two children, and fratricidal cannibalism was a very sad thing, she didn't want such a tragedy to happen, so some concessions had to be made.
And Zhao Ji immediately told her something, saying that Zhao Zhongshan, the second son of the king of Yuhang County, was involved in this matter, and told various details. The meaning of this made her realize that Zhao Hao might have been taken advantage of. Gao Taotao's face was even more unbearable, what could he do except curse those squishy disciples of the Pu Wang family? The second son is a little stupid, it seems that he spoils him too much, and he has not made much progress, so it seems that he has to go out to experience and experience.
Gao Tao was also relieved that the eldest son, the emperor, was getting better and better, and he understood the imperial power technique more and more. In order to reassure the eldest son, Empress Dowager Gao immediately asked Zhao Hao to move out of the palace, and Emperor Zhao Hao happily gave him a palace to live in. The only one who may be unhappy may be Zhao Hao, but unfortunately he dares to be angry and dare not speak, so he has to obey orders.
At the same time, Lin Zhao punched Zhao Hao, and it was definitely impossible to punish him heavily, but after all, the hatred was hard to get rid of, Zhao Hao gritted his teeth, and Gao Tao was also very dissatisfied, and they all hated this Lin Zhao.
The major crime was exempted, but Gao Taotao demanded that he must be given an appropriate small punishment, which is more or less an explanation.
The Queen Mother finally nodded, so the matter was easy to handle. Zhao Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, his mother doted on his younger brother too much, and he was a little biased, which made him very unhappy and worried for a long time. has always wanted Zhao Hao to move out of the palace, but because he has no opportunities and excuses, Lin Zhao has done himself a great favor by mistake!
From now on, his mother must know that Zhao Hao's threat value will also drop greatly. Zhao Ji was relieved a lot, and he was relieved that everything was smooth and proper......
The happiest should be Lin Zhao, the two catastrophes were solved in this way, and as soon as the emperor made a move, the trouble disappeared. The angry Queen Mother did not continue to investigate, it was really not easy......
However, after such a fuss, the meritorious deeds of the envoy to the Liao State have been lost, which can be regarded as offsetting the merits and demerits! Zhao said that even if there is a new appointment, it will take a while to avoid the limelight......
Lin Zhao was naturally happy, and just went back to Jiangning for the New Year, and the next morning, he took the horse out of Bianjing City and galloped south......
