In terms of heart, since Dawu Quan Heng was canonized as Dawu and appointed to act as an administrator to buy people's hearts and give talents, he has not spent much effort on it. It took a lot of time, energy and financial resources for more than ten years. But where the weak eat the strong, the strife and troubled times. It has always been the world of strong men and conspirators who are skilled in power and scheming, and there is a rare market for righteous men and gentlemen who advocate benevolent government and moral rule. Zhao Heng is both mediocre and gentle. Constrained by the Li family, which represents the chaebol power of the old noble clan, it is difficult for the truly high-grade talents to have a space to display their ambitions under him, because there is a great shortage of talents around him who are proficient in power planning and have the ability to strategize.

Pei Xianzhong, the attendant of the East Palace, was born in the 23rd year of Xia Li Wucheng, and his poetry and literary talent are naturally quite real, and his tongue is still clever. The appearance can also be called handsome, and he is the best among the many staff members in the prince's mansion. The emperor's original intention of appointing Pei Xianzhong to serve as an attendant in the East Palace was to regard him as a talent of the younger generation and enrich the prince's subordinate strength. This person is not very old, but he is very good at figuring out the ability to meet and welcome, and he was soon introduced by the prince as a confidant.

If the crown prince succeeds successfully, Pei Xianzhong will have to mix with the ministers to do it. Seeing that the prince was defeated, it was hopeless to turn the tables. Pei Xianzhong thought that he had figured out the emperor's mind at this time, and he wanted to play a clever gamble. Only by resigning oneself or defecting can only die faster, and only by dying and supporting the prince to show loyalty can there be a glimmer of hope to win the emperor's sympathy and even appreciation. I don't want to be careless and play myself as a eunuch! For such a person from a background. Castration is more brutal than killing him!

The emperor was forced by the overall situation to carry out a bloody purge of the prince's party, and he was holding back the evil fire in his stomach and had nowhere to vent. A little guy like Pei Xianzhong who can't get on the stage, choosing to make peace at this time, isn't it rushing to find death? Everyone knew that Pei Xianzhong was unfortunate enough to hit the emperor's gun, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

Although Yang Zhi is powerful, he still has no official position, and according to the official system of Great Xia, he is not qualified or need to go to the court at all. It was the time when Li Congyi, the marquis of Angui, made a grand appearance in the court. It is also the color of the five-grade military uniform that is not embarrassed or embarrassed, but now it is not even a five-grade military identity. This uncle is the same thing as the court. It's not uncommon, and it's not much of interest. All the guards in the inner court were replaced by soldiers of the forbidden army, and there was also a murder expert Qin Yong by the emperor's side, so there was no need for Yang Zhi to worry about the emperor's personal safety.

He approached the emperor and sneered: "Your Majesty, I don't have anything to do with going to court, and it doesn't seem to be convenient for me to go to court as an identity." Don't you think it's just"? ”

Without blinking his eyes, the emperor replied, "No! Today's morning dynasty is missing, and no one can miss you! You don't have to divide into classes. He followed the alliance and served with him. Identity? Who in the world dares to underestimate your identity? ”

In vain, he raised his voice an octave: "Lian said yes, who dares to say no?!" ”

Yang Zhi just wanted to leave the center of the whirlpool of right and wrong early and go home to get a good night's sleep. Everyone knew that he should not have reached out to the official. Let's not go far. Zhao Tianyang is an uncle of the clan who is personally recognized by the emperor, and he is in the high position of the general of the Imperial Guard in the inner court, and he will kill him like pinching a bedbug to death. If Yang Zhi has to get a black gauze hat to wear, it is just to facilitate the court to have a grand name, what other significance is there?

The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and he was quite high-spirited because of the excitement that he had regained, and Yang Zhi certainly would not make any more forcible arguments to sweep away his interest.

According to the regulations of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was originally the end of the Yin Dynasty to beat the drum and ring the bell, and the hundred officials were in the early dynasty. The 14th day of the first month of the 26th year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar is the first early dynasty of the new year. It was a full hour later than usual.

Rumors have been circulating for a long time about the emperor being seriously ill and the crown prince taking the opportunity to usurp the rebellion. There are no civil and military officials

Last night's sudden implementation of a "curfew" in Chang'an was undoubtedly the most powerful proof of the head-to-head confrontation between the emperor and the crown prince. Now the person who sits majestically on the dragon chair of the Jinjian Palace. It is the legendary emperor who is seriously ill, and the powerful monster Yang Zhi stands by the side with a murderous outfit. The prince, Wei Su, and the three marquis of the Li family disappeared, and Chen Wenyuan, the old lady of the resignation, took Wei Su's place and stood in Wubanzhi again. What the result is. Needless to say?

The emperor fully adopted Xu Wenhan's advice. Various measures to calm the situation were carried out at the same time as the early dynasty. Methodically accepted Chen Wenyuan and Wang Yunong to lead hundreds of civil and military officials to congratulate, and issued an edict that the Southern Tang Dynasty had been included in the territory of Great Xia, and there was no mention of the prince. The emperor is still the emperor before the imperial expedition, but the crown prince and his family of important ministers are nowhere to be found. All the officials are sincerely afraid, lest the disaster befall them for no reason, where do they have any thoughts to advise? Can you return home safely after the dispersal of the dynasty, whether you will rest in your own mansion or in the prison of the Criminal Department tonight. Who would dare to hit that package ticket?

The emperor didn't close his eyes all night, and he was physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme, and it was not easy to support himself. In fact, the emperor also wants to finish the matter as soon as possible, and he never wants someone to be stupid and jump for the crown prince. Seeing that the line is about to disperse. But such a thorn in the head who doesn't know the times appeared: "Your Majesty." The old minister has something to say! ”

Everyone saw that it was Tian Zude, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, a Qingliang old master who had been immersed in learning all his life, and was very virtuous among the Qingliu literati, and the emperor had appointed him to serve as the prince and young master who taught poetry. In this chaotic world, the emperor can be called an extremely sober-minded emperor, with the consciousness of winning over all people's hearts and uniting all forces, and has not abandoned all the literati. Either he was summoned to the Hanlin Academy to raise him, or he was placed in the position of the imperial historian as a mirror.

Prince Zhao Heng's "diligence and gentleness". It has a high market share in the minds of these people. In their opinion, if Zhao Hengru can successfully inherit the throne, it is undoubtedly a blessing for the people of the world, and it is also their hope that they will be reused and show their talents.

The emperor saw this section very clearly, and frowned patiently: "Zude, you are old, just take care of the Hanlin Academy."

What do you have to say? You might as well do it another day."

The emperor had already stated in advance that he would stop all court discussions today, and to be able to persuade him in such a tone was already to give Tian Zude a lot of face.

I don't want Tian Zude to still stubbornly play: "Your Majesty, the old minister has two things that are unclear today, and I implore the emperor to solve the old minister's doubts." One. Today is the early dynasty of the new year, the emperor's dragon body recovered, and the Southern Tang Dynasty version of Fu is a gratifying and congratulatory national event, and today's early dynasty can be called a grand ceremony. However, the old minister was puzzled by the fact that the prince, as a prince, had meritorious service to assist the political state on weekdays, so why did he fail to go to court this time when he was accompanied by the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Second, although Yang Zhi, the Marquis of the Flying Tiger, has been knighted by the Holy Grace. But as far as the old minister knows, the emperor did not damage his official position. Dare to ask the emperor, what qualifications does Yang Zhi have to go to the court to discuss politics? What's more, this man is not neatly dressed, and he violates the bow and saber to go to the temple. How is it different from gangsters? If the crime is not punished severely, how can the civil and military officials be convinced? How to have peace of mind? What is the regulation of the Great Fu Dynasty? Where is the prestige? ”

There are many examples in history of the prince being deposed and the teacher was convicted, Tian Zude dared to speak for the prince at this time, and the ministers admired his loyalty and courage. held the emperor's top hat to show his merit to the prince, never mentioned last night's mutiny, and only asked why the prince failed to go to court. Point the finger at Yang Zhi. It was because he forcibly left the prince's escort soldiers and horses outside Huangguan when he led his troops to meet him, and he looked at him today. Obviously, he acted as a thug for the emperor in last night's incident, Tian Zude and the princelings didn't hate him, who did they hate?

But if the old master is regarded as a corrupt Confucian who is foolish and loyal to protect the prince, it is a big mistake. The reasons for "two things are unclear" are high-sounding and eloquent. and carefully avoided the sensitive words that touched the emperor's scales. The emperor just wanted to clean up, but he couldn't find a reasonable excuse. Not only is the emperor not able to answer easily, but he also has no choice but to take him!

Tian Zude was not naïve enough to that point. thought that the emperor would really give Ran a satisfactory explanation of the whereabouts of the crown prince, and would really punish Yang Zhi severely. The old master's true intention is to call on the courtiers who support the crown prince and create momentum for the next step to protect the prince! The voice fell. Many people signaled to each other that they were ready to move and were ready to join the motion.

This is a pediatric trick. How can you hide it from the eyes of the emperor? Sneered: "Good question! Lian might as well tell you clearly. The prince is now staying in the East Palace Prince's Mansion. I'm afraid there will be no chance of going to court in the future. You don't say it's okay, but when you talk about it, you remind Lian, the East Palace Prince's Mansion is too comfortable, shouldn't you change places for the rebel? As for why he failed to go to court today, the United Reform Day will definitely give you a chance to ask you about the good learning you have taught

"You also know that Yang Zhi has made great achievements. He resigned for the righteousness of his brothers, and everyone knew about it. In order to reward his loyalty and bravery, he was specially given a gold medal side such as Lian's personal visit, everything can be cut first and then played, why is he not qualified to go to court? What is the violation of etiquette when the sword goes to the temple? Zud, are you still satisfied with this answer? ”

His face suddenly turned cold and said, "It's you who deserve to be punished!" The United has made it clear that all court discussions will be suspended today, and another day will make you happy! But you openly disobey the decree in court, where do you place the union? What are your intentions? If Lian sentences you to fifty pounds, what will you say? Remembering your old age, I don't want to disturb the joy and peace of the New Year for you, so I forgive you for your innocence. But the union must make it clear, if you are going to force the union, hehe. It's not that the United has not been a wicked person. What's the harm in doing it more? scatter

The original intention of the emperor this morning. It is not only to show that he has regained power, but also to calm down the situation and calm people's hearts. Tian Zude took the lead, if the prince and his party and ministers followed closely behind, wouldn't it be a mess? Could it be that the emperor can really be ruthless and kill? It is to suppress Tian Zude and his ilk in an almost brutal way. Without even leaving a single word, he directly announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

The emperor's face was gloomy and he walked away, and Tian Zude shouted unwillingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The prince's diligence and benevolence are obvious to all, and people's hearts cannot be lost! The hearts of the people cannot be violated! ”
