Chapter 606: Relatives Inspection
readx;
Zhao Ji was completely stunned, the pleasure of the king of the world brought by the gift of the captive disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, replaced by consternation and doubt, and a trace of intense horror. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He naturally knew about Concubine Lin, and he also knew the disgraceful role his parents played in this matter, otherwise he would not have been able to sit on the throne of the emperor.
Before, my father Yingzong had sent someone to investigate and secretly visit for many years, but he couldn't see anyone alive or dead, and it would be a hidden worry that he would be missing all the time. However, after years of searching, there was no result.
Maybe Concubine Lin would have died a long time ago, and when she ascended the throne, she would give up the investigation.
After all, the emperor has changed twice, and the throne is relatively stable. As for the missing Concubine Lin, can she give birth to a child safely? Is the child dead or alive, male and female? None of this is certain. As time passed, the threat to the throne decreased, and the quest was gradually abandoned.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Lin was still alive and gave birth to a child! Listening to the meaning of the Queen Mother, she gave birth to a son!
That's the problem!
Zhao Ji's heartbeat was accelerating, and he knew very well that Emperor Renzong had a biological son, which posed a huge threat to the legitimacy of his throne.
There is also the attitude of the imperial grandmother, why didn't she say anything about this matter before? Why did you choose to announce it on such a day and on such an occasion? Just to comfort Emperor Renzong's spirit in the sky? Or is there some ulterior motive?
And most importantly, who is this person exactly?
Who is it?
There are the same doubts in the hearts of the hundred officials, and there are many insightful officials who are aware of one thing. That's the throne. Emperor Renzong's biological son returns, so there will inevitably be disputes between the succession of the throne? Will the Great Song Dynasty cause turmoil?
That's what Sima Guang thought. He is compiling the "Zizhi Tongjian", and there are too many examples of the throne grabbing the throne throughout the ages. Cannibalism, not to mention the bloody rain, if it is not done well, it will lead to social turmoil and the collapse of the dynasty.
Will the same thing happen to Da Song? Probably not!
Sima Guang thought about it and denied this possibility in his heart. Even the biological son of Emperor Renzong can live in exile for many years. I haven't received a good education, what about my qualifications? There is no foundation in the court, so what is the fight for the throne?
Just because he is the biological son of Emperor Renzong, he will be made emperor? This is impossible, neither the royal family nor the subjects of the world will accept it. However, Emperor Renzong can have blood and bones remaining. This is a good thing, as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, he feels very gratified. At the same time, I am also curious, what is Emperor Renzong's biological son like?
Everyone had the same question, and they all looked at the Empress Dowager on the steps.
Cao Shi said loudly: "Lin Cairen found it, and he gave birth to a boy smoothly that year. Found it too! ”
"Imperial grandmother, where are the people?" Zhao Ji didn't know what kind of mood he was in and asked this sentence.
Cao Shi smiled lightly, turned to Baiguan and said, "Today, he is in Taimiao." It is necessary to recognize the ancestors here and return to the ancestors, and comfort the spirit of Emperor Renzong in the sky. ”
"Who?"
Zhao Ji looked around. Nervous. The officials also held their breath, looking forward to the Empress Dowager announcing the results.
"Dongyang, come here!" Cao walked to the edge of the steps and waved at Lin Zhao at the bottom of the steps!
Zhao Ji looked in the direction of Cao's waving hand, and saw Lin Zhaoqi Yuxuan, heroic, step by step, bowing down in front of Cao's family, and said respectfully: "The child greets the queen mother!" ”
Lin Zhao, it's him!
Although Zhao Ji was already mentally prepared, the person who saw it was Lin Zhao, and his heart suddenly flooded with turbulence, and he could no longer be calm. The huge blow came to the face, like a boulder hitting the heart so hard that for a moment, he couldn't stand, trembling and took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also stunned, and Lin Zhao, the Duke of Wu Guo, who had just been crowned as the general of the Auxiliary State, turned out to be the biological son of Emperor Renzong.
This result is amazing!
Many people did not react, and they were in shock.
Zhao Hao and Lu Huiqing stood in the distance, their eyes full of disbelief. Keep shaking your head and telling yourself it's not true!
On the steps, Cao Shi said in a loud voice: "It's him, Dongyang, the fourth prince born to Emperor Renzong!" ”
The Empress Dowager personally confirmed that she couldn't be wrong!
The officials were still shocked, General Lin turned out to be the biological son of Emperor Renzong, what a surprise!
Zhao Hao and Lu Huiqing shook their heads again and again, even if the Cao family had confirmed it, they were still incredulous, or unwilling to accept this fact at all.
For Zhao Hao, if it is true, then Lin Zhao is not his imperial uncle? Are you kidding?
Lu Huiqing's heart was filled with a strong sense of powerlessness, and she almost collapsed on the spot. I thought that this time I finally had the opportunity to completely knock out Lin Zhao, but I didn't expect him to become a prince in an instant. With one, you can't reach a height in your life. The distance between him and Lin Zhao not only did not decrease, but expanded even more, and he could no longer catch up.
The person who was hit the hardest was Zhao Ji!
A suspicious courtier became the prince of Renzong in an instant, and he was still his own imperial uncle!
If it was someone else, he might be able to accept it calmly, but he would be crowned a prince with great courtesy, and then he would be thinking of a way.
But this person is Lin Zhao!
He finally understood why Lin Zhao's attitude was so arrogant, with such an identity, he had no surrender to himself for a long time.
By the time Lin Zhao's footsteps stepped on the first step, a powerful threat had already arisen. The identity of Renzong's son is enough to shake the legitimacy of his throne.
Not only that, Lin Zhao's strength and merits already have the possibility of competing with him.
Yesterday's welcome from the people, and the great military exploits in the northwest all belong to him! Suddenly, Zhao Ji felt like a clown!
Wasn't the sacrifice of the prisoners just a farce? When Lin Zhao became the prince, the focus of those credits was him. What do you have? It's ridiculous that he also named him the general of the auxiliary country, and the opening of the palace is the same as the three divisions!
An imperial uncle with merit, prestige, and the hearts of the people is self-evident how much of a threat to his throne is.
Not only that, Zhao Ji finally reacted. The attitude of the imperial grandmother was wrong, she deliberately deceived herself into coming to the Taimiao, and the purpose of making such a big sacrifice ceremony was to reveal her identity to Lin Zhao in front of hundreds of officials. There is no doubt that between herself and Lin Zhao, the Empress Dowager chose Lin Zhao, who was her nominal son!
Zhao Ji believed that even if Lin Zhao left the northwest, he would still be very influential in the Western Army. He still has military power? It seems that there are still many ministers in the DPRK and China who have a close relationship with him? Suddenly, Zhao Ji remembered a lot, and suddenly realized that Lin Zhao contained an extremely terrifying power behind him, which was enough to shake his throne. In this way, the theory that his son Black Dragon was born into the world is not nonsense?
For a while, Zhao Ji didn't know what kind of mood he was in, and he didn't even know how to react?
Gao Taotao saw his son's expression, and guessed that at this time, she could only go out. Immediately gave Zhao Zongsheng a look, got up and walked over, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, is it really the fourth emperor brother?" ”
"That's right!"
Gao Tao said with a smile: "The queen mother, the prince has returned, and the spirit of my father in the sky can rest in peace." Taking advantage of today's Taimiao, it is just right to recognize the ancestors and return to the sect and enter the clan! ”
"Queen Mother, please wait!" Zhao Zongsheng lost no time in stepping forward, stopped the virtuous Queen Mother, and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager, the minister is Zong Zhengqing, in charge of the affairs of the clan, forgive the ministers for saying more, the royal blood must be pure." Lin Zhao was not born in the imperial palace, can it be concluded that he is the biological son of Emperor Renzong? Can the Queen Mother still remember the old things that were cold and green back then? A lesson from the past, we must guard against it! ”
Hearing the word "Leng Qing", Cao's face had a chill, and his sharp gaze swept over Gao Taotao's face.
In the autumn of the second year of Emperor Renzong, about the time when Lin Zhao was born, a person named Leng Qing suddenly came to Kaifeng Mansion and met the prefect Qian Mingyi, claiming to be the son of Renzong.
Leng Qing said that her mother Wang was originally a palace maid, who was favored by Renzong, and was already pregnant. Later, he married a common man named Leng Xu and gave birth to himself. He repeatedly claimed that he was the biological son of Emperor Renzong, and he also carried the embroidered belly given by Renzong to the Wang family as evidence.
This incident immediately caused an uproar, and Renzong sent the iron-faced and selfless Bao Zheng to investigate and interrogate, and finally found that his mother Wang was indeed a palace maid. Later, he went out of the palace to marry a common man, and Mr. had a daughter, and then gave birth to Leng. It can be seen that Leng Qing was a fake prince who had no blood relationship with the royal family, and was finally executed.
The time when this happened was very strange, it happened to be the time when Lin Cairen disappeared and Emperor Renzong's biological son was born. It was also a fire in the palace, and the palace people were displaced to give birth to children, but it turned out to be a scam. After the most coincidences, in order to give the people an impression, and then there is such a situation, people will subconsciously think that it is a fraud and will not believe it.
Whose hand is this, obvious! It is someone who wants to deliberately create a precedent and hinder the real prince's return to the palace!
Twenty-four years have passed since Leng Qing's case, but because of the special circumstances of the case, when Zhao Zongsheng said this, the older courtiers remembered the old things.
They all reacted in unison, and this is not necessarily the case. Whether Lin Zhao is the bloodline of Emperor Renzong or not, this matter still needs to be carefully verified.
Lu Huiqing had a little more luck in her heart, Lin Zhao may not be the prince! If it turns out to be fake, then his fate is ......
Zhao Ji also reacted, although he already believed seventy or eighty percent in his heart, but without conclusive evidence, he could oppose it and not admit it. A prince whose bloodline is uncertain will not pose any threat to his throne!
No, the Cao family behaved very calmly, nodded and said, "That's right, the royal bloodline is to be careful." Then today in the Taimiao, in front of the ancestors and hundreds of civil and military officials, come to inspect the relatives to see if Dongyang is the heir of Emperor Renzong! ”
