Chapter 508: Renzong's Ambition
readx;
King of Xiangyang?
After Wang Lun finished speaking, Chen Yuan was not much surprised, there were not many people who had the ability to watch the country in the Song Dynasty, Wang Lun killed all the way out of Shandong to the south, Chen Yuan's heart had already begun to doubt this person. Hearing Wang www.biquge.infoLun say it himself, Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, I'll do the rest, I don't dare to say that I can keep you alive, but I'll do my best, Wen Guang, call Lang Zhong to show him the injury!" ”
Wang Lun's affairs are very troublesome, but there is still a glimmer of hope. First of all, we must get Wang Lun's cooperation, only if Wang Lun cooperates with him and says everything, then Renzong can believe that in this rebellion, Wang Lun is just a pawn who charges into battle, just a fool who has been used by others.
In this way, he can make his crime lighter, and it can ensure that Wang Lun will be charged with the crime and will not affect his wife and children, but Wang Lun still has to die. Chen Yuan was going to go back and ask Renzong to let Renzong be gracious and allow Wang Lun to meet with his wife and children before he died, and Renzong should agree to this condition.
As long as Renzong agreed, Wang Lun's sentence could be delayed.
The Song Dynasty wanted to let a person who was waiting for death live, in addition to the "Eight Discussions", there was another way to go, which was the luck of the condemned prisoner, who happened to meet the emperor's amnesty of the world. At that time, all crimes and crimes were reduced by one degree, and Wang Lun could be changed to "Ask and behead after the autumn." ”
This is a way of reprieving death in the Song Dynasty, that is, for some prisoners who deserve to die or not, the case will be taken to the autumn queen, investigated, asked clearly, and then decided whether to behead or not.
This is Wang Lun's only chance to survive.
Now Renzong has enough reasons to grant amnesty to the world, because the Song Dynasty has tasted the long-awaited victory, and in order to have a smooth weather this year, it is reasonable to grant amnesty to the world.
Chen Yuan couldn't say that this proposal should be put forward by Si Tianjian's officials. According to Chen Yuan's current ability, it is not difficult to go through a back door from Si Tianjian.
Seeing that Langzhong took care of Wang Lun's wounds, Chen Yuan said: "Let's go, then Wen Yanbo will definitely sue first, and when we are in Beijing, there will be some twists and turns." ”
It took them seven days to meet Liu Ping and others, and it took another ten days before they arrived at the outskirts of Bianjing City.
This time, Renzong personally went out of the city ten miles to greet him, and hundreds of officials from the court and the central government were waiting on both sides.
Since the opening of the Song Dynasty, only the general Cao Bin has had such treatment when he destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty! Including the last time Fan Zhongyan came back, Renzong just greeted him at the city gate.
Chen Yuan and the others didn't expect Renzong to come out in person, and the envoy didn't tell them, which made Dong Kui and Yan Zhan, who saw Renzong for the first time, very panicked, and one of them flipped off their horses, knelt on the ground and actually forgot to inform the generals behind.
Renzong still remembered Dong Kui, and this time he could clearly report Dong Kui's name: "Dong Kui!" Biting dog, I remember you! ”
This sentence made Dong Kui very excited, he didn't know what to say, at this time, he felt that his life was worth living! The emperor remembers his name, is there a higher pursuit in this life?
Chen Yuan and Liu Ping quickly ran over, and they also dismounted and bowed down, and saw Renzong.
Renzong's face was full of smiles, which made Chen Yuan feel a lot more relieved. This shows that Wen Yanbo's complaint did not at least destroy Renzong's good mood.
Chen Yuan took Wang Lun away, which was a big problem in Wen Yanbo's eyes, but in Renzong's eyes, it was not as serious as Wen Yanbo said. He is the emperor, and what he wants is stability. The internal and external troubles have now been lifted, and as for who lifted it, this really doesn't matter in the eyes of the emperor.
Renzong said casually: "Get up, you have worked hard along the way, now rest for a while, I have prepared a celebration banquet for you this time, although it is difficult to say that the Great Song Dynasty is difficult now, but as long as you win the battle, I will reward the three armies!" ”
Chen Yuan first thanked him: "Long live Xie!" ”
After the soldiers of the three armies shouted with him, they waited for Chen Yuan to get up before they got up. Renzong looked at Chen Yuan: "Shimei, you really won't let me down every time!" You said on the fold that Li Yuanhao committed suicide in the end? ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, originally the minister wanted to take him back and hand him over to Banzai for disposal, but he resisted stubbornly, and finally saw that there was no hope, so he committed suicide in fear of sin." The minister and Yeli Yu begged and asked him to bury Li Yuanhao in civilian specifications in accordance with the customs of the party, and not according to the specifications of the king. ”
Renzong was obviously very satisfied with this treatment: "Well, yes, you are quite thoughtful. ”
Chen Yuan looked at him in a good mood, and immediately said: "There is one more thing that the minister wants to report to Long live, then Li Yuanhao's son, the minister brought here." ”
Ning Ge'er is Li Yuanhao's son, and the relationship between the party and the Great Song Dynasty is very special, saying that it is a vassal state, and Li Yuanhao has already betrayed the Song Dynasty. It is said that it is two countries, but the Song Dynasty has never recognized the party. If it is counted as a vassal state, Li Yuanhao is guilty of rebellion, and the Nine Clans should be exterminated.
Chen Yuan knew that Renzong would not kill an eight-year-old child, but this issue must be clarified first, and there would be unnecessary trouble in the future.
turned around and beckoned: "Brother Ning, come over and kowtow to the emperor." ”
Brother Ning walked over and glanced at Renzong twice, but he didn't kneel, and the faces of the ministers of the Song Dynasty next to him immediately turned bad.
However, Renzong looked indifferent, looked at Ning Ge'er's raised head, and asked softly: "Are you Li Yuanhao's son?" ”
Brother Ning nodded.
Renzong seemed to understand something from his eyes, and then asked, "Do you hate us for killing your father in your heart?" ”
Brother Ning nodded again.
Pang Ji on the side stepped forward: "Long live, this baby is as ambitious as a wolf like Li Yuanhao, he doesn't think about his party's faults, and thinks that we forced his father to death, he should be killed!" ”
Renzong shook his head slightly: "Taishi's words are too much, he is only eight years old, can he tell right from wrong?" Can he tell right from wrong? ”
As he spoke, Renzong stretched out his hand to touch Ning Ge'er's head, but Ning Ge'er subconsciously dodged it. Renzong's hand stopped, and he sighed: "Alas, eight-year-old boy, he will naturally hate it when he sees his father and mother die at our hands." Shimei, how are you going to arrange him? ”
Chen Yuan said: "Find a school and let him read the book of sages, and I hope he can be a sensible person in the future." ”
Renzong nodded: "Okay, you can arrange it, and give him a monthly allowance with the treatment of a courtier." ”
The Song Dynasty was very generous, and the generosity was a bit excessive. After the establishment of diplomatic relations with other countries in the Song Dynasty, most of those countries would send envoys to the Song Dynasty, and logically speaking, the expenses of these envoys should be paid by those countries themselves, but the Song Dynasty was different, in order to show their care for the Fan State, they gave a considerable amount of living expenses to those envoys every month.
No one forced them to do this, it was made by the scholars themselves. If Brother Ning is allowed to enjoy this treatment, then he will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future, and he can live a comfortable life as a second ancestor.
Chen Yuan followed and said, "Long live the mercy." ”
Renzong looked at him, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Don't say anything nice, what is going on with Wang Lun's matter, you have to give me an explanation." ”
Although his voice was very low, the important ministers next to him still heard it, and their eyes all looked at Chen Yuan. From their eyes, Chen Yuan could see that there were several people waiting to kick him.
Chen Yuan immediately whispered: "Long live Hui, the minister is afraid that Lord Wen Yanbo will not investigate for a while and kill that Wang Lun, then the matter will not be clear." When Wang Lun rebelled, Lord Fan once told his ministers that there must be someone who supports Wang Lun, and this person is in the court. The minister thought that the harm of this person was much more terrible than that of Wang Lun, so the minister had the courage to do such a thing. ”
Renzong remembered that Fan Zhongyan had also said such things to himself, but the form of the Great Song Dynasty was very grim at that time, and Wang Lun must be pacified immediately, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, so he didn't have the time and energy to track down these.
Now listening to Chen Yuanyi's words, Renzong's face immediately became serious: "Did you ask it?" ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "He said it, but Weichen didn't know if it was true or not, Weichen thought that when Wang Lun and others were handed over to Lord Bao for interrogation, they would be punished again." ”
Xia Zhu's eyes were full of disappointment when he heard this, Chen Yuan brought people back, but handed them over to Bao Zheng, which made sense, he couldn't grasp any handles. As for Wen Yanbo, this kid is a little too stupid, and when he played the chapter, he had already explained that "the minister intended to kill Wang Lun, and the head of the ...... to deter the people from chaos" This is undoubtedly Chen Yuanyuan's words.
After hearing this, Renzong nodded, and turned his gaze to Bao Zheng: "Bao Aiqing, leave the matter to you." ”
Bao Zheng responded: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
Due to Renzong's good mood, Chen Yuan's two small things were done in this way. He didn't think that he could make Brother Ning forget his hatred for a while, nor did he think about rescuing Wang Lun and the others immediately, and things had to be done step by step.
As long as this step goes well, you can work hard to do the next step. Next came the regular celebration banquet, which was the third time in two years that Renzong had held a celebration banquet. Not to mention anything else, this count alone was enough to make Renzong feel a little raised.
What made Renzong even happier was that the last two celebration banquets were all ministers and soldiers, and this time, the envoys of those Fanstates also came, and even the Liao State sent envoys to submit a new credential in the name of congratulating the Song Dynasty on its victory.
Renzong's heart is very clear about why they came, especially the Liao State, now that the Song Dynasty has alleviated the crisis, although the battle between the Liao State and the Mongols and the Jurchens has come to an end, but their food crisis is getting more and more serious, and there is already a posture of wanting to follow in the footsteps of the party. At this time, the Liao State was afraid!
Liao will also be afraid of himself? Renzong didn't dare to think about this problem before, but this time the envoy of the Liao State was humble and submitted the credentials in a proper manner, congratulating the Song Dynasty on its victory over the party, and they were very frightened and said to Renzong that the Liao State hoped that both the Song and Liao sides could abide by the original covenant, never have a war, and have a good relationship for eternity!
Renzong felt a little proud, but also a little funny. The covenant has been repeatedly revised by the Liao State and it is impossible to see the original appearance, and now they want to abide by it? He has been bullied by Liao Xingzong since he succeeded to the throne, and now he wants to marry him forever?
Renzong looked at the trustworthy people around him, and asked excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if the wind and rain are good this year, when the new army is completed next year, I will complete the will of Emperor Taizu and recover the thirteen states that have not been recovered!" What do you think? ”
The ministers were shocked.
