If you want to ask who can get the trust of Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Weiji in the entire Great Song Dynasty at the same time, there is only one person here, and that is the new governor Kou Zhun.

This kind of trust is not the kind of heart-to-heart for you, but it is that both parties are able to show enough respect for the opinions put forward by Kou Zhun.

"Ping Zhong didn't think he came here for the unfortunate death of King Wei." At this time, Zhao Weiji was sitting on the upper seat of the hall of the Wei Palace, and the person sitting next to him was Kou Zhun and Kou Pingzhong, the governor of the government.

"Lord Wang, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, we have actually had a friendship for many years, I just want an answer here, what is the prince going to do now?"

What Kou Zhun is referring to here naturally involves the issue of storage location. Now that Zhao Weizheng, the king of Wei, is dead, Zhao Weiji has been pushed to the cusp, and the court and the central government are also surging with the undercurrent, and the old forces of the Taizu lineage, which had been suppressed for many years, have begun to have a form of recovery, so Zhao Weiji's choice will be a crucial thing at this time.

"Don't ask me how to do it, I want to hear Ping Zhong's opinion, who does Ping Zhong want to occupy the storage position." At this time, Zhao Weiji's question was very serious, what do you Kou Zhun think, do you want me or Zhao Heng.

However, Kou Zhun was not frightened by Zhao Weiji's heart-wrenching question, and he replied truthfully: "From a human point of view, the succession of the prince to the throne is very beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty in the twenty, thirty, or even fifty years after the official army is a hundred years old. However, it is not conducive to the generations of the Great Song Dynasty. And if King Xiang succeeds to the throne, although it may be inferior to you in 20 years, 30 years, or even 40 years after a hundred years of the official army, it will be very beneficial to the future generations of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Kou Zhun's meaning here has actually been clearly expressed, the so-called Golden Kui Alliance is a fart, although the current official family has used it to inherit the throne, but it has also buried today's disaster. Any emperor hopes that his children and grandchildren can inherit the throne, after all, there are relatives in a family, and it is normal for people to hope that their relatives can inherit their own country.

If you follow the oath of the Jinkui Alliance today, and let Zhao Weiji, the grandson of Taizu's lineage, inherit the throne, what will Zhao Weiji do a hundred years later? When the time comes, it will be his son who will inherit the throne, or the grandson of the current official family. Now this scene will repeat itself, and it will be repeated in every generation.

Therefore, it is better for you Zhao Weiji to sacrifice yourself for the long-term stability of the Great Song Dynasty, decisively give up the inheritance of the throne, and let Zhao Henglai succeed to the throne, so as to change the father's death and son's succession back to the first consideration of the inheritance order, so as to avoid such a thing from happening again.

Zhao Weiji understood the meaning of Kou Zhun's words very clearly, and he did not have any disgust for Kou Zhun's words, because he knew that Kou Zhun was such a straightforward person, if it weren't for his character and ethics, according to his inextricable relationship with Zhao Weiji in the past, it would be impossible for him to be a high-ranking official at the level of the governor in Zhao Guangyi's court.

And Zhao Weiji is still very happy with Kou Zhun's statement, if Kou Zhun wants to support him to win the heir, Zhao Weiji will be in trouble.

Because Zhao Weiji knew that in the issue of the historical establishment of the prince, Zhao Guangyi had also specifically consulted Kou Zhun, so in this situation, it is very likely that Zhao Guangyi still asked Kou Zhun. Because here Kou Zhun is not only participating in political affairs, he has a very deep relationship with another candidate, Zhao Weiji, if Zhao Guangyi can get Kou Zhun's support, it will also be of great benefit to his actions.

"Ping Zhong's words, of course I understand, but sometimes there are some things that I can't choose, as long as I'm still in the Central Plains for a day, some things should happen or will happen." At this time, Zhao Weiji had actually vaguely expressed a little bit of ass decision in his words, sometimes the meaning of involuntarily came, if Kou Zhun could understand, then when Zhao Weiji went to see Zhao Guangyi again, many things would be easy to talk about.

"Lord Wang, it's not too early, so I'll leave first." After listening to what Zhao Weiji said, Kou Zhun didn't make any answer, but found an excuse to get up and prepare to leave the palace.

"Since Pingzhong still has something to do, then I won't keep Pingzhong, I'll send you to the gate of the palace." Since Kou Zhun took the initiative to end the conversation, Zhao Weiji naturally didn't say anything more, and walked down the steps given by Kou Zhun.

……

Not long after Kou Zhun Cai left the Wei Palace's mansion and returned to his own mansion, he received a call from the imperial palace. So he hurried to the palace again.

After entering the palace, Kou Zhun was directly led to the emperor's imperial study by the eunuch. After entering the imperial study, he was directly interrupted by Zhao Guangyi before he saluted: "Here are you and me, the two of you and the minister, so you will be exempted." Someone came to give the governor a seat. ”

Soon the little eunuch brought a chair, and as soon as Kou Zhun sat down, Zhao Guangyi spoke: "Now that I am old, there is no definite heir. In the past, after a hundred years, should the country be inherited by King Xiang or King Wu Yue? ”

Sure enough, at the moment when Zhao Guangyi summoned him into the palace, he knew that it must be the problem of Lichu, and he definitely couldn't talk about the rhetoric to Zhao Weiji here, so Kou Zhun changed his words: "Since ancient times, Lichu has given priority to the eldest son. Although the official family has no eldest son, there are several princes, and according to the ritual law of the temple, it should uphold the order of the eldest and youngest, and Zhao Heng, the king of Lixiang, is. ”

Kou Zhun's words entered Zhao Guangyi's heart, although his current queen of the main palace has no heirs, but he has other sons. According to the order of the eldest and youngest, there is nothing wrong with Li Zhao Heng, and it is also the result he wants. However, because his own succession to the throne was a bit incorrect, he made up such a thing as the Golden Kui Alliance to declare the legitimacy of his succession, but now this thing has somewhat restricted him.

"What Qing said is indeed polite, but how is the Queen Mother's will?"

The Queen Mother's last order naturally refers to the Golden Kui Alliance, although this oath is now a little restrictive to Zhao Guangyi, but it is not that there is no hole to drill, the key is that someone other than Zhao Guangyi needs to put forward this hole to let him drill.

"Why did the Queen Mother advocate for Her Majesty to succeed to the throne back then?"

"It is because the lord of the Zhou family is young, so Taizu can win the country, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the queen mother is the main heir to me, in order to ensure that our Song family has a long monarch, so as to stabilize the peace of the country."

"Back then, there was a master in the Zhou room?"

"Only seven years old."

"What is the Spring and Autumn Period of King Xiang now?"

"Twenty is seven years old."

Having said that, Kou Zhun stopped asking questions, because it is now clear that according to the Jinkui Alliance, the Queen Mother is to prevent someone from bullying orphans and widows like Zhao Kuangyin and usurping the country, so she strongly advocated passing the throne to Zhao Guangyi, so that the new emperor can still be a long monarch.

The young lord who was usurped was only seven years old, and now Zhao Guangyi is ready to pass on the throne There are twenty-seven, if this is not the eldest monarch, the Zhao Weiji, who is only twenty-eight, is estimated to not be counted.

In this way, the Jinkui Alliance can have an excuse to solve it, but it can't just deprive Zhao Weiji of his inheritance qualifications, after all, Zhao Guangyi also "promised" to return the throne to the Taizu lineage. This also gave a word to those who supported Taizu's lineage.

"Then since you want to make King Xiang the crown prince, what should Zhao Weiji, the king of Wuyue, do?"

Zhao Guangyi's meaning here is also very clear, after the establishment of Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang, as the prince, what if the forces on Zhao Weiji's side make trouble, even if he Zhao Weiji does not take the initiative to make trouble, but who will use his name, what will be good when the time comes?

"What if King Wu Yue is not in the Central Plains? Before meeting His Majesty, the minister had gone to the Wei Palace, and the King of Wu Yue had hinted that he did not want to participate in the establishment of the prince, and also hinted at how the minister could solve the problem raised by His Majesty just now, that is, King Wu Yue intended to follow the example of Yelubei, the emperor of Liao. But the specific matter, King Wu Yue did not tell the ministers again. For the sake of King Wu Yue's contributions to the country for so many years, the minister here begged His Majesty to have a thorough and detailed discussion with King Wu Yue. This may be extremely beneficial to both the imperial court and King Wuyue himself. ”

Although it is said that Kou Zhun usually does not accept bribes, does not form a party, does not embezzle, and does not abuse power, it can be said that he has done everything that an official should do. However, he himself is still very affectionate and righteous, Zhao Weiji remembered all his help at the beginning, and when he learned that Zhao Weiji himself was unwilling to participate in this succession. Trying his best to help Zhao Weiji achieve what he implied was all that Kou Zhun had considered so far.

Didn't you Zhao Weiji say that as long as you are in the Central Plains, there are some things that you can't control, so does this mean that you will leave the Central Plains.

If that's the case, Kou Zhun will definitely have to help you Zhao Weiji leave the Central Plains safely and smoothly.

It's just that Kou Zhun at this time doesn't know too well how Zhao Weiji wants to leave the Central Plains, and where will he go after leaving the Central Plains?

So the best way is to persuade Emperor Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Weiji to face to face and talk calmly. If the two of you can solve this problem perfectly, you will naturally be able to avoid unnecessary trouble in Da Song.

"Did King Wu Yue really hint at you that he had such a plan?"

"That's right, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I know, you can leave the palace."

Kou Zhun also knew that the words could only be said to this extent, and the rest was Zhao Guangyi's choice alone, in the end, Zhao Guangyi didn't believe that Zhao Weiji's hint in Kou Zhun's mouth was beyond Kou Zhun's control.

So he decisively got up and thanked him, and then left the imperial study and left the palace.

"With Kou Zhun's example in the court for many years, he will definitely not deceive me, it seems that it is necessary to really talk to Weiji." This is the strongest thought in Zhao Guangyi's mind right now.

At this time, the eunuch Wang Chengen came to report: "Your Majesty, King Wu Yue is asking to see you outside the palace. ”
