Chapter 143: Duan Zhengming's Zen Position

With the end of the confrontation in front of the temple, countless people in the capital who were looking forward to the end of the new emperor soon saw a large number of forbidden troops coming with the emperor list again. The people who have been waiting for a long time will know that there must be some important news announced to the world.

Sure enough, the forbidden army who posted the imperial list read out the above content. Many people were very surprised, and it seemed that they did not expect that the prince who inherited the throne would be the king of Qiongzhou, who was older than Zhao Xu.

Although they are all members of the Zhao royal family, in the minds of the common people, the successor should be Zhao Xu's younger brother. They are the lineage of the Divine Sect, and it is normal for them to inherit the throne. Suddenly turned to the pulse of King Xu, which was somewhat unexpected.

On the contrary, some people who knew about Zhao Xiaoxi's exploits seemed very happy and said: "Okay! With the accession of the king of Qiongzhou to the throne, we are afraid that we will not have to worry about the instability of the border. With him, the dogs will definitely not dare to offend Song Jing, this is a good thing! ”

With Zhao Xiaoxi being crowned the king of Bashu County, the military affairs of the northwest were promoted, and the Western Xia, who was fighting, had to sue for peace. Countless people feel that having such a prince in the Great Song Dynasty is indeed a blessing for the people and the court.

Even if Zhao Xu took power and exiled Zhao Xiaoxi to Qiongzhou as king, these martial people felt that it was a pity. Such a prince, who had originally made a difference, was exiled to such a wild place like this.

But in less than a year, Zhao Xiaoxi commanded the Qiongzhou army, as well as the border troops of the southwestern states, and resolutely annexed the Li Dynasty, which threatened the southwestern border. And it was completely incorporated into the soil of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Great Song Dynasty had an additional Annan Road.

In short, any new emperor succeeds to the throne, and some people feel that he should inherit the throne. Of course, it is also indispensable, and there will be some people who feel that it should be the descendants of the Zhao family in their minds as emperors.

It's just that no matter what they think in their hearts, they go with the posting of the imperial list. Purge presided over by the Ministry of Punishment. It began to be thoroughly unfolded in the capital. Although I didn't imagine the scene of a river of blood, it was also chilling.

Any new emperor ascends the throne, and it is inevitable that the children of the royal family will die. And this time, the people and some gentlemen who paid attention to this kind of thing did not see that the prince was beheaded for his crimes.

As for the grounded Duan Wang Zhao Ji. In the eyes of many people, this is also Zhao Xiaoxi's extrajudicial grace. If it is replaced by other princes to succeed to the throne, King Duan, who has made such a big mistake, will definitely become the best candidate for the new emperor to ascend the throne and sacrifice the flag.

With the announcement that Zhao Xiaoxi became the emperor of the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the post guards began to take the imperial list and set off from Bianliang City to spread the edict to the world. Let the people of Li in the Great Song Dynasty know that the emperor they are loyal to is no longer Zhao Xu but Zhao Xiaoxi.

Compared with the speed of these post guards, the new southern city and the Qiongzhou palace at this moment. has turned into an ocean of euphoria. Those officials who entered the Qiongzhou palace were naturally excited about Zhao Xiaoxi's successful ascent to the top.

As officials who have shared weal and woe with Zhao Hyo-seok, their future promotion path will be smoother than that of other officials. After all, they all call Zhao Xiaoxi's descendant officials, and this bet on them is too right.

Meanwhile. Far away in the imperial palace of Dali. Duan Zhengming looked at the documents from the cloth pavilion, and also sighed unusually and said, "Okay! It seems that Uncle Huang really has a good eye for the sky. This king of Bashu County has really ascended to heaven. ”

After saying this, Duan Zhengming immediately called Duan Zhengchun, Duan Yu, and Zhao Yu, who was the princess, to the palace. The ciphertext sent by the cloth pavilion was handed over to everyone for review.

Seeing the contents of this document, Zhao Mo said with a little surprise: "What! Xiaoliu was actually killed by Murong Fu, the big traitor? This person. A true sin deserves death. The second brother will definitely not let him go! ”

Compared with everyone who is happy with Zhao Xiaoxi's succession, Zhao Ming, as the county lord, also has a lot of feelings for Zhao Xu. When she was a child, Zhao Xiaoxi and Zhao Xu often stayed together, as a little tail. He also often participates in two-player games.

Now that Zhao Xu was suddenly in trouble, Zhao Yu was naturally a little sad. But seeing that the second brother really became the emperor, she was somewhat happy. After all, having an older brother who is an emperor and having an older brother who is a prince are completely different things.

Looking at the angry Zhao Yu, Duan Yu, who was standing beside him, was very distressed and said, "Er, don't be angry. In this matter, I will summon people in the rivers and lakes in the name of the Duan clan of Dali to hunt down this scum. Let him die without a place to be buried! ”

With the two getting married, Duan Yu seems to be more dedicated than his father's affection. This made Zhao Yu also very moved, and the relationship between the two also made the Duan brothers happy. It's just that they have been married for so long and haven't heard the news yet, and the two are a little worried.

Fortunately, they all know that Duan Yu and Zhao Yu are still young, and some things are really not in a hurry. It is precisely because of their tolerance that Zhao Mo lives in Dali, and he lives at ease, and he does not feel lonely.

After everyone discussed the official succession of Zhao Xiaoxi, Duan Zhengming thought about it and said: "Yu'er, in the previous battle of the Li Dynasty, you seized the land of the two states for Dali. The subjects of Dali have loved you very much.

Uncle is old, I plan to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and I will meditate with you. As for the uncle, he can finally enter the Tianlong Temple and practice hard with the emperor to serve the Buddha. Second brother, can you agree to this arrangement? ”

Although he had known for a long time that there would be such a day, Duan Yu was somewhat surprised. Even Duan Zhengchun said with a little reluctance: "Big brother, Yu'er is still young, even if he has the will of the people, it will take time to control the overall situation of a country."

Are you not, teaching Yu'er for a while. As for going to Tianlong Temple to practice, Uncle Huang promised earlier that you would lead the practice. Not necessarily, you want to go to Tianlong Temple to cut your hair and practice? ”

Looking at Duan Zhengchun's sincere retention, Duan Zhengming smiled and said, "With hair cultivation, how can it be regarded as six roots of tranquility?" What's more, after I entered the temple to practice, aren't you still in the court? Won't you teach Yu'er yourself?

Now that Yu'er is married and has a career, are you, the father, still only caring about your own leisure all day long? It's also time for you to fulfill your responsibilities as a father and feel what it's like to be the lord of this country! ”

Zhao Ming, who was standing at the bottom of the hall, also felt very amazing when he looked at this scene. Compared with the descendants of the Zhao family, there is a lot of blood, and they fight openly and secretly for a throne. Even her father, because of the failure to seize the throne, finally ended up confined to the capital.

Right now, in the eyes of the Duan family, this position of the head of the country has become something they don't want. This uncle's generosity and tolerance really made Zhao Yu sigh, is the Buddha's summoning power really so great?

Looking at her husband beside her, she also looked a little reluctant, and Zhao Yu also felt that her luck seemed to be really good. I just heard that my second brother Zhao Xiaoxi became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and my husband is about to become the lord of Dali.

It can be said that she is double happy, and she also began to worry a little that Dali and Da Song would be hostile in the future. So should she stand on the side of Dali or the side of the Great Song Dynasty?

Thinking of this situation, Zhao Yu also seemed a little startled. Fortunately, she soon put this idea aside and thought more about the brotherhood between Zhao Xiaoxi and Duan Yu. Thinking more about Zhao Xiaoxi's brother-sister relationship with her, I feel a lot better.

Just as Duan Zhengming summoned his confidant ministers to announce the completion of the news. The imperial uncle of Tianlong Temple also sent a Buddhist decree to Duan Zhengming, asking him to abdicate as soon as possible and enter Tianlong Temple to cut his hair and practice. Such a coincidental move made Duan Yu unable to refuse at all.

Although he knew that there would be such a day, but when this day came, Duan Yu seemed a little panicked. After all, as the head of the country, every word and deed is enough to affect the hearts of the country and the people. One carelessness may lead to the ruin of the country and the death of the family.

Fortunately, after starting a family, Duan Yu has experienced a lot in the army, and his mind has become more stable than before. Regardless of whether he is ready or not, taking over the position of the lord of Dali is already an inevitable result.

Compared with Dali, because of his relationship with Zhao Xiaoxi, he soon learned the news. Those Fanbang states who were still paying attention to the situation in the Great Song Dynasty immediately felt that they were in trouble when they learned that Zhao Xiaoxi was the new emperor.

For them, Cho Hyo-seok's abilities daunt them. Now that Zhao Xiaoxi has become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, they are afraid that they will have a hard time in the future. An emperor who knows the military and the civil affairs is indeed worthy of their fear.

Compared with Tibet, he sent an envoy to Daliao to discuss the alliance as soon as possible. On the Western Xia side, under Li Qiushui's words, he immediately sent a delegation to congratulate Zhao Xiaoxi on his succession.

And when the news reached Xinnan City, Mu Wanqing and the others were all ready to leave for the capital. For Zhao Xiaoxi to really become the emperor, the women were also happy. After all, this shows that they really have a good eye.

The other is that they miss Zhao Xiaoxi a little. After not seeing each other for so long, they do miss a little. Now that Zhao Xiaoxi is in charge of the palace, none of them are there, which is somewhat inappropriate.

It's just that among this group of people, there is one missing Zhao Hao, the king of Xu who was buried by the imperial court, and Jin Yan'er, who is about to give birth and is inconvenient to travel. For their stay, the military guards who escorted others into Beijing didn't say much.

As Zhao Xiaoxi began to fulfill the rights of the emperor, the treasury was originally empty because of the war. Looking at the boats arriving at the Jingshi Wharf and constantly being escorted into the warehouse, I also felt overjoyed.

Previously, it was also worried that as soon as Cho Hyo-seok succeeded to the throne, he announced many plans to reform the people's livelihood and the military system, which would make the national treasury unable to afford the corresponding expenditures. Now that they have these silver taels, they are really relieved.

At this moment, the household officials know what it means to be rich and rival the country. If it weren't for the new emperor succeeding to the throne, they would never have imagined that Zhao Xiaoxi, who had only been in Qiongzhou for about two years, would have accumulated such a fortune.

It is said that money is easy to do, and this is also true for the country. With these silver taels, some livelihood projects approved by Zhao Xiaoxi will not lose trust in the people because of the lack of silver taels.

With money, Zhao Xiaoxi restructured the current huge box army, township soldiers, and even the forbidden army. Give An Jiayin, eliminate those old and weak soldiers who are old but occupy their places, and re-select capable young and strong people to join the army. Really prepare for a strong army!
