Chapter 685: Breaking the Ground

The weakened Zhao Ji made a final effort in the court!

said that he was just sick and unconscious, and he couldn't look at the court, so he let King Yang supervise the country and preside over government affairs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this way, there is no such thing as a rebellious minister and thief intending to seize the throne, and the Empress Dowager and King Yang have never rebelled.

Then King Qin's so-called Jingjing, Kuang Fu Sheji's dispatch of troops does not make sense.

Of course, King Qin can also say that Zhao Ji was coerced, but he is not telling the truth. But this kind of thing itself is between ambiguity, and the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

The king of Qin can not admit it and find various reasons to deny it.

Gao Taotao and Zhao Hao can also say that the King of Qin is actually greedy for the throne, has evil intentions, and intends to rebel.

Although it is just a matter of mutual accusation and ridicule, it is definitely effective. At the very least, it can shake the one-sided support of public opinion for King Qin, hit Zhao Zhao's prestige, divide the people's hearts, and improve the current unfavorable situation.

In particular, it has a great impact on the neutrals who wait and see, and it still has some effect.

In addition, Zhao Xuan also announced in public that he would canonize the crown prince Zhao Xu as the crown prince. The emperor was seriously ill, fearing that his days were numbered, and the queen mother listened to the government, and the prime minister Han Qi was the minister who took care of his life, assisting the young lord until the prince became an adult.

This move clearly tells the people of the world that it is not King Yang who succeeds to the throne, and it can somewhat clear the suspicion of Zhao Hao's usurpation of the dynasty, and the previous rumors can also be self-defeating. At least it can make people all over the world suspicious, so as not to blindly support Zhao Zhao.

At the same time, the empress dowager listened to the government, and the prime minister was the minister who took care of his life, which was tantamount to publicly vetoing the possibility of the king of Qin assisting the regent. The rumors that seemed to be unassailable before gradually wavered. Porous. Suspicion naturally arose in the hearts of the people.

Zhao Ji asked Zhang Zongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to pass on the decree to the King of Qin. Explain the misunderstanding and order him to lead his army back to Chang'an.

Although King Qin is the emperor's uncle, after all, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and he must obey the emperor's will. If Zhao Zhao does not comply, it will be tantamount to resisting the order.

Jingnan turned into a rebellion, and Kuang Fu Sheji became a plot to usurp the throne.

At the same time, rumors spread again. It is said that the King of Qin deliberately rebelled and deliberately designed to frame the Queen Mother and King Yang. King Qin's family had already slipped out of the city. Everything was a lie and excuse made up by King Qin, whose real intention was to rebel and seize the throne.

Anyone can make up rumors, and Gao Tao, who has suffered a loss, also knows how to win the support of public opinion and change people's hearts with the help of Youyou's mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, there was another uproar.

Some people don't believe it, Zhao Zhao has a high prestige in the end. He has made great achievements, and the people still want to believe in him.

But some believed. It is claimed that although King Qin is the biological son of Emperor Renzong, it is an accident that he is in exile among the people, and since the throne has been passed to Yingzong and the current official family, the status of the monarch and the minister has been determined.

If you want to use troops to seize power and ascend to the throne, it can be regarded as a rebellion.

There is no doubt that the one-sided public opinion support for King Qin began to waver. All kinds of suspicions, all kinds of analyses, and rumors are flying all over the sky, and they have become the most talked about topics among the people.

At this time, everyone was waiting for King Qin's response.

Zhao Zhao's explanation will, to a certain extent, determine the people's will!

But the result was unexpected, before King Qin could explain, a person stood up.

Pu King Zhao Zongsheng, he brought earth-shattering news!

Zhao Zongsheng openly declared to his subjects all over the world that Song Yingzong Zhao Zongshi and the current Empress Dowager Gao Tao had committed heinous crimes in the past.

Emperor Renzong had four sons, except for Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, and the first three children all died young.

Before the birth of the eldest son, Yang Wang Zhao Fang, the then empress Cao was grateful that Emperor Renzong had no children, and there was no successor to Jiangshan Sheji.

In the second year of Jingyou, Empress Cao took precautions and first brought Zhao Yun, the then king of Runan County, into the palace to raise her young son Zhao Zongshi, following the precedent of Emperor Zhenzong raising Zhao Yunrang in the palace. Just in case, if Renzong really has no children, he will succeed Zhao Zongshi, and he will be raised in the palace to cultivate feelings and educate and cultivate.

Empress Cao's foresight is a good intention. However, later Renzong's eldest son King Bao (renamed King Yang when Huizong) Zhao Fang was born, but unfortunately died after birth. Zhao Zongshi's significance seems to be more and more significant, and he has received a large number of titles such as the deputy head of the left prison guard, the general of the right Yulin Army, and the assassin of Yizhou. You must know that Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of Emperor Taizu in the past, was originally just a defense envoy for Guizhou, and Zhao Zongshi's status was already quite prominent.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, in the second year of Baoyuan, Zhaojie Guifei Miao (Zhao Fukang's biological mother) gave birth to a prince, who was Zhao Xin, the king of Yong.

It was in this year that Zhao Zongshi was sent back to the Runan Palace. After all, Emperor Renzong has a biological son, and there are successors to Jiangshan Sheji, so it is not appropriate to raise his nephew in the palace.

It's a pity that Zhao Xin also died early, maybe it was providence!

The emperor has no children, but the country must have a prince, and Zhao Zongshi has no intention of becoming the number one candidate. In addition, Zhao Zongshi, who grew up, was humble and polite, benevolent, filial and loyal, and left a good impression in the hearts of hundreds of officials, so they were very optimistic about him.

Emperor Renzong was not reconciled, and after making persistent efforts, Zhu Cai of the harem gave birth to a third son, named Zhao Xi.

Because he had already died two children, Zhao Xi was particularly valued by Emperor Renzong, and he took care of him very carefully after birth. Luckily, the child was healthy and growing up.

On the first day of the first month of the third year of Qingli, Emperor Renzong issued an edict and named the prince Zhao Xi as the king of Hubei. Obviously, this is the rhythm of cultivating the prince.

But something strange happened!

On the second day of the first lunar month, that is, the first day after the king, the sturdy Zhao Xi died inexplicably!

Emperor Renzong was so grief-stricken that he did not give birth to a boy for a long time after that.

Some people say that perhaps it was the will of heaven that Emperor Renzong was destined to have no children, so three children died in a row.

But—

Today, Zhao Zongsheng, the king of Pu, told the world that this was not an accident, and Zhao Xi, the king of Hubei, was poisoned.

And the murderer is his thirteenth brother Zhao Zongshi, and his wife Gao Taotao!

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar, as if a depth charge had been dropped on a calm lake, setting off stormy waves!

Zhao Zongsheng claimed that the death of two princes in a row made Zhao Zongshi delusional and bent on obtaining the crown prince. But with the third prince Zhao Xi here, he has no possibility of succeeding to the throne at all, so he has murderous intentions.

It's just that the palace maid and nurse take care of it carefully, and he has never found a chance. Until the third year of Qingli, the first day of the first month is the New Year, and the palace is full of laughter and laughter. In addition, the three princes were crowned kings, there were celebrations in the palace, and even the nurses with the palace maids were rewarded, and there was negligence under the joy of pride.

I didn't want to, but I was so happy and sad that the sleeping third prince was covered by his mouth and nose and suffocated to death.

At that time, I thought it was just the negligence of the nursing mother, and thought that Zhao Xi died in an accident. But Zhao Zongsheng said that it was actually Zhao Zongshi who coerced a palace maid.

The gray-haired old palace maid also came forward to admit the matter in person, claiming that Zhao Zongshi had taken her mother and younger brother and threatened her to do what she was told. She was confused for a moment and made a big mistake.

Later, Zhao Zongshi also sent someone to kill him, his mother and younger brother were burned alive, and she escaped by hiding in a water tank.

Zhao Zongsheng said that after Zhao Zongshi ascended the throne, he asked him to find this palace maid and kill him. Because he was a brother, and he was afraid that he would be the emperor and wield great power, he agreed against his will.

But after finding the palace maid, he was moved by compassion, coupled with the condemnation of conscience, and he couldn't do it.

In addition to murdering the King of E, Zhao Zongshi also killed the King of Qin, Zhao Zhao, who almost couldn't be born, and the reason why the King of Qin has been living in the people for many years is also responsible for him!

Ouyang Xiu came forward to testify that in the past, Concubine Lin dreamed of colorful auspicious clouds around her, the rising sun and she was pregnant, and Emperor Renzong expected to be a boy and would have a future in the future.

Zhao Zongshi was afraid that the soon-to-be-born four princes would hinder his path to the crown prince, and he burned the palace in a frenzy, if someone didn't save him, Concubine Lin would be killed in the fire, and King Qin would also die before he was born.

Similarly, the people related to that year, Zhao Zongshi appointed him to extinguish his mouth. But these people were all left behind by Zhao Zongsheng, who couldn't sleep at night all these years, and their conscience was constantly condemned, and now they were very indignant when they saw Gao Taotao disturbing the dynasty again, so they exposed the old things and announced them to the world!

The earth is shattered, and the world is in an uproar!

The subjects all opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't imagine that there was such a thing in the change of the throne of the Great Song Dynasty?

Believe it or not?

Letter!

The world's scholars have already believed eighty percent, first of all, the identity of the whistleblower is very credible. Pu Wang Zhao Zongsheng is Yingzong's own brother, and it is reasonable to know the inside story. If it weren't for the fact that it was true, Zhao Zongshi's father and son and Gao Tao would have acted perversely, and King Pu would be indignant, how could they slander them like this? The key is that the evidence is conclusive.

No one questioned King Pu's move. There is no relationship between King Pu and King Qin, let alone intimacy, on the contrary, they are Yingzong's own brother. He has no possibility of collusion with King Qin at all, let alone slandering the king for no reason, so it can only be said that he is righteous and destroys relatives, and the people praise it a lot.

Moreover, for the sake of the throne, Zhao Zongshi's motive for committing the murder completely is logical. What's more, he had the experience of disobeying Empress Dowager Cao, and now he is infinitely magnified and questioning his character.

There are also many clues to follow in this monk!

Once by chance, twice by coincidence, but what about the third, fourth?

The eldest son of the emperor died, the second son of the emperor also died, and Zhao Xi, the third son of the emperor who was carefully cared for, was in good health, and he was crowned king on the first day, and died inexplicably the next day?

Is this normal?

Besides, King Qin, Concubine Lin dreamed of the rising sun and was pregnant, and Song Renzong, who was thirsty for his son, attached great importance to it, seeing that the time of childbirth was approaching, but the palace was inexplicably on fire?

Can these things be a coincidence? When it comes to the struggle for the throne, you can think of a reasonable explanation with your toes.

King Qin also said that after the mother concubine was exiled outside the palace, she was chased and killed, and if it weren't for the blessing of God, she would have almost suffered!

No one can believe it!

The people think so, and the officials even more so.

Especially the older officials, they know more or less about some of the turmoil in the establishment of the reserve back then, as well as related rumors, which now seem to be true.

Even King Pu came out to correct it, can it still be fake?

If this is true, then ...... (To be continued......)
