Chapter 702: Reigning in the World

Coming out of the Funing Palace, Zhao Zhao sighed lightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Completely hard-hearted, hot-handed and ruthless, he can't do it, especially with a few innocent children.
Perhaps this is the most appropriate way to let them live, but without leaving hidden dangers and threats.
It can be regarded as a little compensation for Zhao Ji, after all, if it weren't for his promotion, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is today.
Although there is a great grudge with him, it is not necessary to harm the child, and there can be mercy in this matter.
This is also a manifestation of self-confidence, Zhao Zhao firmly believes in his control of the Great Song Dynasty, and is not worried that a few children will shake his country.
But to be on the safe side, think about the children and grandchildren of the generations to come, and avoid causing trouble to them. When you didn't see the Qing Dynasty, how many years did the third prince of Zhu make trouble.
In fact, it is okay to keep these children under house arrest for a lifetime. But what if something goes wrong? Children will always grow up, and they will have sons and grandchildren, will the children and grandchildren of this branch be placed under house arrest forever? After experiencing Zhao Shiju's rebellion, Zhao Zhao deeply realized that this kind of thing must be guarded against for a few lifetimes.
Zhao Ji's sons can only completely disappear from the public eye, there are no more four princes in the world, only an ordinary child who grew up silently among the people. It doesn't matter if it's suspicious, even criticized.
The sons of the previous emperor have been excluded, and now there are brothers left.
When they returned to the big celebration, the Empress Dowager Cao and the eldest princess of Chu, Zhao Fukang, were already there.
They had just left the palace, and they came back after a while, but for a moment it was also safe, life and death.
Zhao Zhao stepped forward quickly, bowed down in front of the Cao family, and kowtowed: "Erchen has seen Niangniang!" ”
"Quick, get up!" Cao looked at Zhao Zhao, who had been absent for a long time, and cried with joy. I was looking forward to the dream, and it finally came true.
"Let the mother miss it!"
"Okay, now it's okay!" Cao Shi took Zhao Zhao and Zhao Fukang's hands, excited.
The sky was clear at this time. The long wind gusted, blowing the flag and waving the exhibition, standing on the steps before the big celebration, and when I turned around, I saw hundreds of officials coming together.
The first ones were Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi. followed by Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang, with these four important ministers, if it was to show the whole world the submission of hundreds of officials to the King of Qin and to the new Great Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Zhao.
All the officials who had disappeared for a long time appeared, and after learning that King Qin had broken the city and entered the palace, they went home as soon as possible, put on court clothes and got ready. As soon as he heard the edict, he immediately rushed to the palace to witness a historic moment.
It is also an enthronement ceremony. But the protagonists have changed, so they don't have the slightest previous evasion and hesitation.
"Meet the Queen Mother, meet the King of Qin!"
All the officials knelt down in unison at the big celebration, and at this moment, it was necessary to bow down on such an occasion. As for Cao's identity. was tacitly demoted to the queen mother by hundreds of officials. In this regard, the Cao family himself has no dissatisfaction, the veritable queen mother is much better than the vain queen mother.
"Excuse me!"
Cao Shi walked to the front and said loudly: "All of you also know that since the death of Emperor Renzong, the Guozuo artifact has been stolen for many years. Now the King of Qin has lived up to expectations and set things right. Kuang Fu Sheji, congratulations! ”
"Congratulations!" Hundreds of officials chimed in.
Cao said: "The country can't be without a king for a day, especially in the autumn of critical survival, do you think so?" ”
"Yes!"
"Then you can nominate a new king!"
Cao's voice landed, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said in unison: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is worthy of a great responsibility!" ”
It's a given, and it would be strange if there was a second answer.
But Zhao Zhao couldn't agree in one go. In ancient times, the golden mean was emphasized, even if it was hypocritical, it had to be humble. Although it was said that he took the opportunity to directly hold the enthronement ceremony, when Shi Jianfei went to summon him, his words were still relatively tactful. Now it is indispensable to go through the ritual steps. Pretending to be a high-spirited and bright gesture.
"How can Zhao Hede? The previous dispatch of troops was only to punish the thieves who disrupted the country, Kuang Fu Sheji, and Jiangshan Sheji still needed virtuous people to live in it. Zhao Zhao said: "This king is shallow in learning, and he is still young, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, and I also ask you to choose another talent from the clan." ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is the biological son of Emperor Renzong, and he is the descendant of the emperor, and his bloodline is noble. And His Royal Highness has helped the community internally, entered the river and Huang externally, destroyed the Western Xia, and expanded the land for thousands of miles, which is an immortal achievement. In today's world, there is no one like Your Highness. Zhang Zongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said loudly: "The minister respectfully invites His Highness to ascend the throne!" ”
"Respectfully invite Your Highness to ascend the throne!" The old ministers, including Wen Yanbo and Ouyang Xiu, all expressed the same attitude. Then the hundred officials echoed in unison, with a resolute attitude.
Zhao Zhao couldn't resist it, and after three resignations, he accepted it "as a last resort"!
Cao said: "This is very good, and it is also good to comfort the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky." The country cannot be without a king for a day, since it has been prepared today, let's directly hold the enthronement ceremony! ”
"Yes!"
At the same time that the hundred officials agreed, Wen Yanbo was ready to ascend the throne and read it out in public: Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, the fourth son of Emperor Renzong, has a valuable character, has successful experience, and has outstanding merits, and is worthy of a great responsibility. In the order of the Empress Dowager, that is, the emperor's throne!
Zhang Zongyi is a very clever person, and he has already prepared the relevant etiquette. However, it is somewhat hasty, and some of the steps are somewhat brief.
But the form doesn't matter, as long as it's the content, it's the result.
Zhao Zhao first saluted his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Cao, and then ascended to the throne of the Great Song Emperor, ruling the world!
At that moment, all the courtiers knelt on the ground, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and the mountain shouted long live.
After several years of hard work, Zhao Zhao completed his goal and ascended to the throne, and the history of the Great Song Dynasty opened a new chapter at this moment.
Now that you have ascended the throne, there are many ceremonies and rewards to be completed.
The first one is to determine the era name, not only the era name after Zhao Zhao's change to the Yuan, but also the era name of the previous eleven years.
That is, the era names of Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Ji during their reigns, it should be renegotiated, and Zhao Zhao wants to give the matter of Zhao Zongshi's father and son as soon as possible and deal with it. This kind of thing has a lot of dreams at night, and it is better to do it in one step.
As mentioned earlier, Zhao Zongsheng, the king of Pu, reported that Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao had poisoned Zhao Xi, the third emperor of Renzong, and murdered Zhao Zhao, the fourth prince.
They ascended to the throne through illegal means, so the throne of their father and son is not legitimate. So in this case, can the emperor's name of the two still be retained?
Zhao Zhao made it very clear in the ultimatum that they should be deprived of nothing, not only now, but also what they once had. Gao Tao insisted on going his own way, and he should pay the price, this matter is not negotiable.
Xu Zundao, the secretary of Dali Temple: "Your Majesty, Zhao Zongshi plotted to kill His Royal Highness the King of Hubei and His Majesty, which is heinous and no different from rebellion. He is not in the right position, he is a chaotic minister and thief, if he continues to retain the position of the emperor, he will worship the Taimiao. It is for the disrespect of the ancestors and ancestors, the first emperor, and the king of Hubei, heaven and earth are intolerable, and people and gods are angry, so the ministers think that their thrones should be abolished! ”
"Your Majesty, father and son are in the same vein, Zhao Zongshi's position is not correct, and Zhao Ji's succession to the throne is not in accordance with the etiquette law, and the emperor's position should be abolished together. It's good to have an explanation to the people of the world and maintain the court's etiquette law. The speaker was Zhang Zongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
The bigwigs in charge of law and etiquette have expressed their positions, and the remaining officials naturally do not object, as for several prime ministers, they may have a little sad feeling in their hearts, but they are not easy to oppose.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, now it is Zhao Zhao who has the final say. In any case, it was Zhao Zongshi who made a big mistake, and he was to blame, no wonder others. This kind of character, enshrined in the Taimiao, is indeed a shame on the royal family.
In this way, hundreds of officials unanimously abolished the emperor titles of Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Ji. In other words, there will be no two emperors in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, Yingzong and Shenzong.
Zhao Zhao's actions were very fast, and the rankings of the two immediately withdrew from the Taimiao, and Zhao Zongshi moved out of the Yonghou Mausoleum and was buried separately. It just so happens that Zhao Ji's mausoleum has not yet been built, and he will not enjoy the treatment of the emperor's mausoleum.
As for the past era names, they also need to be dealt with, Zhao Zongshi's Zhiping and Zhao Ji's Xining are abolished. In the past eleven years, the last name of Emperor Renzong is still used - Jiayou!
In 1074 AD, it was supposed to be the seventh year of Xining, but now it has become the nineteenth year of Jiayou!
This is exactly the same as Zhu Di's martyrdom after the Battle of Jingjing, abolishing Zhu Yunwen's Jianwen era name and following Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu year name. There is only such a successful example of an uncle seizing the throne of his nephew, so Zhao Zhao also adopted this approach!
As for next year, Zhao Zhao changed the name of the Yuan, the ministers discussed for a while, and the opinion given was - orthodox!
Zhao Zhao has been living in the people for many years, and now he has returned, ascended to the throne, and the royal blood has returned to orthodoxy, so this era name has a clear reference meaning.
Orthodox, the year name of Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong in this book appeared in advance.
Zhao Zhao hesitated for a moment, during the orthodox years, Zhu Qizhen drove a personal expedition, made a change in the civil fort, and was captured by Wara, which was a great shame. This name does not seem to be very good, but the courtiers approve of it, and the internal reasons cannot be explained.
Zhao Zhao pondered slightly, the change in Tumubao was caused by Zhu Qizhen himself and the eunuch Wang Zhen, and it had nothing to do with the year name. Although he will also go on a personal expedition next, Zhao Zhao firmly believes that a similar tragedy will not happen to him, and he has this confidence.
So, the monarch and the ministers reached an agreement to change the yuan to the first year of orthodoxy next year!
Both the emperor and the era can be abolished, but Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Ji have indeed appeared in history, and it is impossible to erase all these eleven years in the history books. There must still be a characterization of them, not emperors, but there must also be a posthumous seal, even if they have committed heinous crimes.
After some discussion, all the honorific titles and posthumous titles of their father and son were revoked, and Zhao Zongshi was posthumously named the Marquis; Zhao Ji posthumously sealed it as a fallacy!
The villain, the ferocity and the crime, just show that Zhao Zongshi committed the murderous crime of murdering the prince in the past.
Fallacies, mistakes too! If the father is not in the right position, it is naturally a mistake for the son to ascend the throne!
As for the events of the past 11 years, after they were recorded in history, they were called "absurd and chaotic government".
The nature is determined, everything is easy to say, and after dealing with the dead, it is time to deal with the living.
