After three and a half days in a coma, Zhao Ji woke up!

Xiang Xiang cried with joy and tears, and Gao Tao's hanging heart was temporarily put down, but soon he was full of worries. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

While her son was in a coma, she dealt with several things in the name of the emperor.

The first is Su Shi's case, which found that Su Shi defamed and changed the law, his words were inappropriate, and he was reckless; But the crime of fooling the court and disrespecting the king is exaggerated.

The official family thanked him for being a great talent of the country, and both Renzong and Yingzong praised him, so they forgave him for his inappropriate behavior.

It is not enough to kill the head and exile the Nine Clans, but there is still a punishment. A holy decree, Su Shi was directly demoted from Feng/Xiangzhizhou to Huangzhou regimental training envoy. As for the many officials involved, they only admonished a few words, and then symbolically fined a few catties of red copper.

When the news came out, the dissatisfaction in the court gradually subsided. The scholars and doctors were relieved, although Su Shi still suffered an unjustified disaster and was demoted to Huangzhou, but he was not convicted of a major crime after all. The tradition of not killing scholars and doctors has not been broken, and the terrible situation of the literary prison has never appeared.

The bottom line has not been breached, and the scholars have no opinions, but there are still many people who are dissatisfied and disappointed. Is this just a performance by a group of clowns jumping off the beam at the Yushitai? The hearts of those who have a little insight are like mirrors.

The only ones who were disappointed were Lu Huiqing, Li Ding, Shu Yan and others, how could this be? The official family didn't punish Su Shi severely, so it was over? In Lu Huiqing's view, even if he is not punished as soon as possible, he will continue to be detained and wait for Chang'an's reflection, in order to catch any flaws.

Why can't it end like this, degraded officials? Is this also called punishment? What's the matter?

Lu Huiqing didn't expect it. And that's just the beginning. An even greater disappointment followed.

The official decree issued to the province of Zhongshu. With Han Qi as a scholar of Jixian Palace, he is a member of the Zhongshu Sect.

When the news broke, there was an uproar.

After Wu Chong went to the Daimyo's Mansion, the position of Prime Minister/Prime Minister will inevitably change, and the government and the opposition are also speculating. But no one expected it to be Han Qi, he actually made a comeback, and there was no rumor in advance, which was really unexpected.

But think about Han Qi's qualifications. There is nothing more to say. The patriarch of the three dynasties, Emperor Renzong was the prime minister during his reign, and he was fully qualified and capable of entering the main political hall. It's just that how could the official family suddenly use Han Qi? The grievances of the Daimyo Mansion in the past have been written off? Thinking of the experiences of Wen Yanbo, Wang Anshi and other important ministers, such a move by the official family will inevitably make people think about it.

Lu Huiqing is the most unwilling, and the position of prime minister that she has single-mindedly sought has been spent in another family, in addition to being unwilling or unwilling. He was also very curious, obviously he had already contacted Han Qi and Su Shi's case, why didn't the official family suspect it at all? Or do you still have a heavy responsibility?

This is obviously unreasonable! Soon, though. A message circulated from the palace ban that the official family was sick. He was in a coma for several days. From this point of view, with Han Qi as the prime minister, it should be the handiwork of the Queen Mother!

Alas, luck is really back, how can such an unfortunate thing happen at such a critical time? He wanted to work hard again to shake the legitimacy of Han Qi as the prime minister, but unfortunately, before he could do it, another trend was set off in the Great Song Dynasty.

Please stand up!

One day after Zhao Ji's body recovered, he went to the court, and a waiter from the Ministry of Etiquette said: "I heard that the official dragon is unwell, and he has been in a coma and cannot look at the court. The minister was very worried, and asked the official family to take care of the dragon's body, and also asked the official family to establish the national capital as soon as possible, so as to protect the inheritance of the Great Song Dynasty from generation to generation. ”

Subsequently, the six ministries of the three provinces, the imperial history platform, the relatives of the clan, and even the local officials have been invited to set up the prince early.

There is a precedent for such a thing, in the first year of Jiayou, Song Renzong also suddenly fainted, foaming at the mouth, and became delirious. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty did not establish a prince, but many ministers were in a hurry.

Fortunately, Song Renzong later recovered, and the hundred officials immediately admonished and asked the officials to establish a prince. The situation of today's official family is similar to that of Emperor Renzong in the past, although he has sons, they are all infant children, which is still worrying. Therefore, hundreds of officials are also in love.

Zhao Ji was naturally unhappy, he didn't know what the situation was, and he pretended not to know at first, wanting to perfunctory the past. However, the attitude of the hundred officials was resolute, and the song was sent to the imperial case like snowflakes. Above the court, there were several officials who played many times in a row. Someone even stopped Prime Minister Han Qi's sedan chair on the street, and asked the prime minister, who was the head of a hundred officials, to advise the official family to establish the country as soon as possible.

Perfunctory is definitely not good, Zhao Ji wants to excuse the past. If he is in good health, he can also use the emperor Chunqiu Zhengsheng as an excuse, and even use this to reprimand the ministers who are sparse for plotting wrong. But Zhao Ji didn't have the confidence to say this, he was in a coma for three days in a row, and almost hung up directly, and the whole person looked a lot weaker, and it was a fact that the Spring and Autumn Period was not prosperous for all to see.

Helpless, Zhao Ji had to excuse himself: "The princes are still young, wait to grow up, observe the qualifications, teach them, and then become the prince!" ”

But the officials didn't buy it, and euphemistically disagreed. It is claimed that the princes are young, and in order to ensure that the country has a long monarch and the peace of the Great Song Dynasty, please set up Yangzhou Zhao Hao as the crown prince. As for the reasons, they are very sufficient. Some officials mentioned that during the reign of Emperor Taizu, the two princes of Dezhao and Defang were already adults, and Taizu gave up his father's death and son's succession for the sake of the stability of the country, but passed on the throne to Taizong after his brother died. Taking this as a precedent, he asked the official family to follow Taizu's example and pass on the throne to his younger brother.

Taizong's succession to the throne is a tacit fact. But Zhao Ji can't refute it, otherwise wouldn't he deny Taizu's approach? Or admit that Taizong used some improper means back then? He didn't dare to be unfilial, so he could only be speechless. Listening to the officials quoting scriptures and saying the precedents of the emperor's younger brother in previous dynasties, Zhao Ji became even more depressed.

If it was just like that, then Li Yuncong, the imperial historian, went up and asked the king of Qin to be the prince.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar!

Li Yuncong said loudly: "King Qin is the biological son of Emperor Renzong, with noble blood, noble character, and outstanding ability. Conquered the northwest, successively recovered Hehuang and Lingxia, contributed to the country, and could inherit the unification. ”

It's not a person who has this idea, Emperor Renzong has only been dead for ten years, and most of the court are old ministers of the three dynasties. What's more, King Qin's ability is outstanding, and his achievements over the years are obvious to all, and succeeding to the throne as emperor is also expected.

It is much more reliable than the toddler on the swaddling child, and even Yang Wang Zhao Hao can't be compared with it at all. In addition to being the son of Yingzong, Zhao Hao doesn't seem to have any merits at all, and his ability and prestige are really average. Although he is the same age, he is not at the same level as King Qin at all.

Therefore, most officials, especially the neutral part, agreed with the accession of the Qin king. After all, Yingzong was a succession, and if it weren't for King Qin's exile, the throne would have belonged to someone else. Now it is a matter of course to return the government to the King of Qin. Although they all thought so in their hearts, few people dared to say it first.

The official family must have a lot of jealousy of the King of Qin, and it is a risk to openly promote the King of Qin. However, Li Yuncong braved the world's condemnation and took the lead in proposing it, and the situation was different, and some people began to echo it.

In particular, Zhang Zeping, the highly respected Duke of Dingguo, went to court at the age of 70 and elected the king of Qin, which put the matter of establishing a prince on the cusp.

Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, Zhao Hao of Yangzhou, and Zhao Xu, the sixth son of the emperor who was less than three years old, became the top three in the competition for the position of prince of the Great Song Dynasty. In contrast, King Qin was the biggest favorite among them.

Zhao Ji's mood can be imagined, how can the throne that his grandfather and father worked so hard to get back to Zhao Zhao? If he sits on the ninety-five, will his family still have a way to live?

There are also some ministers who don't want Zhao Zhao to ascend the throne, and He Zhengchen in the imperial history rushed to say: "Historically, the prince has only been the father and the son, and the brother and the brother?" How can the imperial uncle say this? ”

"Why not? A few years ago, wasn't Yelu Chongyuan of Liao State the imperial uncle? ”。 Li Yuncong immediately retorted.

He Zhengchen said: "Hmph, what is the result? That imperial uncle eventually rebelled! ”

"That's Yelu Chongyuan's own rebellion, not that there is a problem with the title of the emperor's uncle!" Li Yuncong said: "King Qin is benevolent and humble, which is obvious to all, can he be compared with Yelu Chongyuan?" ”

"This ......" He Zhengchen was suddenly speechless!

Zhao Ji hated Yelu Hongji to death, what did he do when he got an imperial uncle? If there is no such precedent, the minister can be prevaricated. How about now? There must be a lot of trouble.

"It's a big deal to establish a reserve, and it's better to think long-term!" Zhao Ji wanted to delay the past.

However, Li Yuncong and Zhang Zeping claimed that since it is a major matter, it should be grasped and not delayed. There is a precedent of Renzong's back then, and this is how his father Zhao Zongshi became the prince, and Zhao Ji can't refute it. Although he was very willing to kill Li Yuncong and others to vent his anger, if so, wouldn't he be unfilial to the emperor's uncle? If you lose the king's bearing, the image of a benevolent and wise monarch will also be greatly reduced.

Zhao Ji said helplessly: "Even so, you should also ask about the meaning of King Qin and King Yang!" ”

Zhao Hao reacted quickly, although he knew that his mother intended to support him, he was more worried about his eldest brother's temper, so he quickly took the initiative to resign. The ancients were more subtle, the king Chan paid attention to the three words, and the Song Dynasty rewarded what title and official position, but also to be polite and resigned, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang did it many times.

Zhao Hao's excuse may be modest, but it may also be a real refusal, Zhao Hao obviously adopted the latter, and said: "King Yang has resigned, I don't know what the attitude of King Qin is, and I will make a decision after sending someone to Chang'an to ask King Qin." ”

The implication is that I have the heart to make the King of Qin the crown prince, if people don't want to, then there is no way! After that, the officials kept silent and waited for news from Chang'an. Zhao Ji has already made up his mind, as long as Zhao Ji is humble and refuses, he will immediately push the boat down the river, so as to stop the mouths of the people in the world and make his son the prince.

But the envoy went to Chang'an, but there was no news for a long time. I only heard that King Qin went to the front line to inspect, and he couldn't see anyone in a short time!

Zhao Ji immediately said: "King Qin is not here, he has not asked for advice, and the matter of establishing a prince can only be discussed later!" (To be continued......)
