Chapter 417: Surprised
"This covenant is said to avoid the suspicion of the lord and the country, so it is passed on like this, and in the end, it will be passed back to the line of the first emperor. This is the final way home, although the son of the first emperor, Zhao Dezhao, is no longer there, but his eldest son Zhao Heng is still there. Moreover, Zhao Heng is now adopted as an adopted grandson by Empress Hua Rui, which is more in line with the inheritance of the first emperor. Because the throne should be inherited by Zhao Heng, the adopted grandson of Empress Hua Rui and the eldest grandson of the first emperor. This is in line with the agreement of the Golden Covenant! β
Li Ying was anxious and said, "How can that work?" Then, won't the official's holy decree be carried out? Disobey the holy decree of the official family, that is to destroy the nine clans! β
Speaking of the back, Li Ying's voice was a little hysterical.
Hua Rui interjected: "Don't worry, don't argue, let everyone else talk about it and listen to everyone's opinions." β
Li Ying set his sights on Cheng Yu, the head of the Hanlin Academy. He is a well-educated and resourceful man, and he used to be a close confidant of the official Zhao Guangyi, and he was deeply appreciated by Zhao Guangyi, hoping that he could come out to help find a way to keep his grandson's throne.
Cheng Yu smiled slightly, stepped out of the ranks, and bowed to Queen Hua Rui and said, "Weichen thinks that although the Jinkui Covenant is true, it proves that there is indeed such a thing, and it can also be used to show that the throne of the official family is obtained according to this covenant. However, there is an important thing that needs to be drawn to everyone's attention, if you don't pay attention to this matter, you may mess up the whole thing! I will be sorry for the spirit of Empress Dowager Du and the first emperor in the sky, and I will also be sorry for the grace of the official family to you! β
As soon as he said that the matter was so serious, all the ministers pricked up their ears. Look at him.
Zhao Pu smiled and said, "Master Cheng, there is no need to say that it is so serious. β
"Of course it's serious! It's just that you, Lord Zhao, didn't notice this matter, so you said those wrong remarks. That would mislead us about the direction of the entire Great Song Dynasty. When the time comes, you will come to your senses, and it will be too late to regret it! β
"Really? I'm a little curious, let's hear about it? β
"Okay, you just listen, let me ask you - what is the agreement of the Golden Kui Covenant?"
"Inheritance of the throne. The first emperor passed it on to the official family, and the official family passed it on to the ......"
"Alright, we've all heard it. No need to repeat it, I'll ask you again. When should the official family pass the throne to those who come after? I'm talking when! β
Zhao Pu chuckled in his heart, and some understood what the other party meant. Zhiwu said: "Naturally, it is time to pass on the throne. β
"Not exactly!" Cheng Yu said loudly: "This is a big deal. Needless to say, we have said it straightforwardly, that only when the official family dies will the throne be passed on to those who come after him. Right? β
Zhao Pu smiled bitterly. I don't know how to answer.
Cheng Yu was a little proud: "Let me ask you again - has the official family died?" β
Yang Yanpu on the side said in a deep voice: "Although he did not die, he is now besieged by the Liao army in the county government of Liangxiang City, and there are only a thousand guards around him. I can't hold the throne anymore, so I decreed to pass on the throne to others! β
"That's right! General Yang said it well!! Cheng Yu slapped his face a few times, "General Yang said the key to this matter!" ββThe official family is under siege and has no way to hold the throne, so he ordered the third prince Zhao Yuankan to be temporarily regent! -- Ladies and gentlemen, the term used by the government is temporary regent. Instead of passing the throne to the third prince. In other words, the three princes are only temporarily exercising imperial power in place of the official family! β
Speaking of which. Cheng Yu raised his voice suddenly: "The official family has not died yet, and he has not even been captured by the Liao army, but he has been surrounded by the Liao army." But you are here to discuss the royal throne of the official family according to what golden covenant to pass to the people behind you, and where will this behold the official family? To put it more seriously, what is the difference between this and rebellion? Lord Zhao, that's why I said that you don't know the true nature of this matter now, and you will make a big mistake in the future! But I can't eat and walk around! β
Cheng Yu's words made Li Ying ecstatic, and she grinned and laughed: "That's right, that's right!" The official family only let my grandson Zhao Yuankan be the regent temporarily, and he did not pass on the throne, so your Jinkui Covenant is useless, and it is not needed now! β
Yin Hui also smiled and said: "Yes, Cheng Hongru is still powerful, and I can see the true meaning of this matter at a glance." If it weren't for that, we'd have been bluffed by the Golden Covenant and messed up the whole thing! β
Li Jihe smiled: "That's right, this is not a matter of inheriting the throne, but a matter of the official family designating someone to temporarily exercise the power of the throne." Therefore, it can only be done according to the intentions of the officials. If the official family returns to heaven one day in the future, we will take out the Jinkui Covenant and handle it according to the above agreement. β
Li Ying said triumphantly: "Yes, yes, I'm afraid that at that time, Zhao Dezhao has no descendants to ......."
He had already guessed that in order to pass on the throne to his descendants, the official Zhao Guangyi would definitely kill all the descendants of the first emperor's lineage. But this is something that can be done and cannot be said, and he is also carried away and says everything in his heart. Fortunately, halfway through the sentence, it was stopped in time. But the meaning of his words is already obvious, who is not a treacherous officialdom veteran, how can he not hear it? For a while, many people's faces changed color. Especially the relatives of the emperor in the lineage of the first emperor, even more so.
saw a white-haired official, walked up, split his head and covered his face, and slapped Li Ying. The beat made Li Ying turn in a circle, pounced, and spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with teeth and saliva. He was furious, pointed at the old man and scolded: "You! Who are you? Why are you hitting me? β
The old man stabbed his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Daughter-in-law Kuangyin, tell this old thing who I am?" β
Empress Hua Rui hurriedly bowed and said: "Li Qingjia, this is the Wing King Zhao Hongrust Zhao Wangye, and he is the younger brother of Emperor Xuanzu Wuzhao. The first emperor and the official family's uncle. Entrusted by the prince Zhao Yuanzuo, he acted as the commander of the front guard department of the palace. β
Li Ying was taken aback, blushing and said, "Are you Zhao Hongrust?" Wrong! Zhao Hongyu is already dead! β
Hua Rui said gently: "Li Qing's family, the old man of the Yi Wangye, was looking for immortals in his early years, and he was unwilling to ask about mundane matters, so he announced that he had passed away. In fact, his old man has been in retreat and cultivating the Tao, and because this time the matter is very important, he invited the old man to come out and preside over the overall situation. β
Some of the old ministers in the main hall recognized Zhao Hongyu, and when they heard that it was him, they not only stretched their necks one by one, but also looked vaguely familiar. I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Zhao Pu and Xiang Fu had both seen Zhao Hongrust, and after hearing about it, they hurried over and looked carefully, sure enough, it was Zhao Hongrust, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Yi, are you really a cultivator and an immortal?" After all these years, you're still so strong! β
Zhao Hongrust said: "You guys are not bad!" β
Although Cheng Yu was also very old, he had never seen Zhao Hongrust, stepped over, and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, dare to ask why you want to be a minister in the court?" Even the royal relatives don't have this privilege, right? What's more, Lord Li is also a relative of the emperor......"
As soon as he said this, there was a snap, and he had already received a slap in the face.
Cheng Yu's slap, although Zhao Hongrust's subordinates showed mercy and did not knock out his teeth, the five red palm prints on his face were impressive. Cheng Yu covered his face, pointed at Zhao Hongrust and said, "Lord Wang, you, how did you beat the old man?" You, you have to make a point! Otherwise......"
"How else?" Zhao Hongyu raised his palm coldly, "Otherwise, you will slap me again?" β
Cheng Yu was so frightened that he took two steps back, and he had a feeling that he couldn't explain it when he met Bing.
The ministers were also shocked by the momentum of the beating that he said that they would beat him, and their faces changed color.
Zhao Hongrust said: "Lao Dao is used to staying in the mountains, the beast bullies me, I will kill him, the robber bullies me, I will kill him, that's the reason!" I don't know anything else, and I don't bother to pay attention to it. Who of you is talking nonsense, the old way will slap him! β
Cheng Yu was so angry that his beard flew wildly, covered his face and looked at Queen Hua Rui and said, "Niangniang, you just let him do this nonsense?" β
An old man stepped forward and said loudly: "This Li Ying wants to kill all my son-in-law's family, can't he slap him?" β
This person is Zhao Dezhao's father-in-law, the crown prince and the prince Wang Pu.
Li Ying kept spitting blood, and said, "I said it wrong casually, it is impossible to do such a thing." β
"It's because you said it wrong casually, so Lord Yi only gave you a slap in the face, if you really have this kind of fratricidal thoughts, then it's not just a slap in the face!"
Li Ying knew that she was at a loss, and she didn't dare to talk again.
Cheng Yu said: "Then why did the Wing Lord beat me?" Am I wrong? If I point out my mistakes, I will admit this slap, if I can't say it, I, I will go to the Taimiao Emperor Ling and hit my head to death, and I will never be ashamed of this public humiliation! β
Speaking of excitement, Cheng Yuhua's white beard trembled, looking very excited.
Zhao Hongrust said coldly: "Do you still need a reason to beat you?" You can hit whoever you want, let alone a slap, I will be in a hurry, and there will be some people who will screw off your head as a bubble! β
Without waiting for Queen Hua Rui to speak, an old minister with the same white hair came out and said loudly: "Lord Cheng, your previous statement seems reasonable, but it is actually a big fallacy. β
Cheng Yu looked over and saw that it was also Hanlin, named Wang. This Wang Shu used to be a courtier in the Later Zhou Dynasty, and he was a minister in the same hall in the Later Zhou Dynasty together with the first emperor Zhao Kuangyin. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there was a banquet for the first emperor Zhao Kuangyin, the king was drunk, missed the Emperor of the Later Zhou, and cried in public. Some courtiers admonished Zhao Kuangyin that he should be punished, but Zhao Kuangyin said that he just missed the old master, human nature, and there was no big deal. Let him go. When the king found out, he was very grateful. (To be continued......)
