The first emperor died, the throne was inherited by Zhao Guangyi, and did not pass on to the descendants of the first emperor, this old minister who was grateful to Zhao Kuangyin has been indignant, and now, the Jin Kui Covenant has reappeared, seeing that the throne has the hope of being passed on to the descendants of the first emperor, Cheng Yu has put up a bunch of reasons to block it, and this king is very angry. He is also a resourceful old pedant, and when it comes to mouth fighting, he will not be afraid of others. came out to accuse Cheng Yu at the moment.

Cheng Yu said: "Okay, Lord Wang, you should tell me, where did I say something wrong!" ”

Wang said: "Let me ask you, the covenant between Empress Dowager Du and the first emperor is about succession, right?" ”

"That's right! But ......"

"You listen to me first, and I'll listen to you later!"

"Okay, you say."

"Let me ask you, does this succession covenant state that it must be passed on after death?"

Cheng Yu's heart sank, and he had a feeling that his sore foot was caught by others, and he said: "Although it is not written, it should have been passed on after the death......

"May I ask if King Zhao Wuling passed the throne to King Zhao Huiwen, was it after his death? Tang Gaozu Li Yuan passed the throne to Tang Taizong Li Shimin, was it after his death? ”

Cheng Yu is also a knowledgeable and talented Hongru, he knew that he couldn't stand up when he said it himself, and he was thinking about how to resolve this loophole in his head. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "You said that these are all individuals, and many of them are also unavoidable, such as Li Yuan, it was Li Shimin who launched the Xuanwumen Revolution and forced his father to give way." It's different from our dynasty! ”

"Whatever the reason, the emperor is on the throne. Just pass the throne to other people, this kind of thing has happened in history, and it is not uncommon! So. You can't say that the Golden Covenant requires the emperor to die before he can pass on the throne! ”

"It's not that you died to pass the throne, so when do you say you will pass the throne?"

"Spread it when it should!" Wang Zhu said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to ask you to pay attention to one thing, this matter is also very important, so important that if we don't pay attention to it, we will make a big mistake like Lord Cheng, and even commit a heinous crime!" ”

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly. This king's book uses his previous set of rhetoric, and he has no way to refute it.

And the king saw that all the ears were pricked up to hear him. Only then did he swallow his saliva vigorously and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what is the purpose of this golden covenant that Empress Dowager Du, the first emperor and the official family agreed to pass on the throne?" Why is this conventional? Why not pass the throne directly to the descendants of the first emperor, but pass on the throne to the two younger brothers, and then pass it back to the descendants of the first emperor. It makes sense. And if we don't pay attention to this great truth, or even deliberately ignore and distort it like some people, it will go against the expectations of the Empress Dowager Du and the first emperor of the Golden Kui Covenant itself! ”

Li Ying covered her face and said, "Okay, what are you doing in a rambling way, be happy, you say so much, what do you want to say?" ”

Wang Shu ignored him and continued to ramble: "Empress Dowager Du was born in the second year of Jianlong. That is, only one year after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty! At that time, Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of the first emperor, was only ten years old! And there are too many places for the Great Song Dynasty to fight. It can be described as a strong enemy. Empress Dowager Du thought of the Hou Zhou replaced by my Great Song Dynasty, when Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty was only seven years old, the so-called 'Lord Shaoguo Suspicion', the first emperor took advantage of this great opportunity, Chen Qiao mutinied, replaced the Later Zhou and established my Great Song Dynasty. Empress Dowager Du saw this danger and was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, so she made this covenant with the first emperor and the official family. ”

Li Ying said again: "You don't need to say this intention, we all know it." ”

"You know? You know that you won't agree to let your grandson inherit the throne! ”

Li Ying frowned and said, "What does this have to do with my grandson's succession to the throne!" ”

"Why doesn't it matter?" Wang said: "Empress Dowager Du and they made this covenant, not to put the throne aside, but to avoid the suspicion of the lord and the country, so the inheritance of this throne is definitely different from the ordinary succession to the throne." Otherwise, Zhao Tingmei is only four years younger than Zhao Dezhao, if he dies before he can pass it on, then the two are about the same age, and it is not necessarily who dies before whom! Doesn't Empress Dowager Du know this simple truth? Therefore, her original agreement was just to arrange such an order, the purpose was to let Zhao Dezhao grow up. As long as he is an adult and can take on great things, he should and must pass it on! Instead of waiting until the previous emperor died! Because, the fallacy that Master Cheng said is completely confusing! Misinterpret the original wishes of Empress Dowager Du and Emperor Xian. In such a major matter, you play such a trick, and the Wing King slaps you, which is already very polite. ”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrust was very proud, as if he had already had foresight. This slap is famous. Squinted at Cheng Yu, what does that mean, how? If you don't accept it, you'll be slapped again.

Cheng Yu is the world's Hongru in the end, ranking first in Hanlin, so naturally he will not be so easily refuted by Wang Shu and speechless. At the moment, he sneered and said, "Say I'm confused? I think you're the one who is confused. ”

Wang Shu also sneered: "Please!" ”

Cheng Yu said: "You said that the Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, now that Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Dezhao are no longer alive, even if according to your thinking, the throne will be passed back to the first emperor, but the first emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Heng is only five or six years old, and if it is passed to him, isn't it the Lord Shaoguo's suspicion?" ”

"Hehe, then Zhao Yuankan, how old is he than Zhao Hengda?"

"It's all young masters, why don't you listen to the official family's holy decree?"

"If the name is not right, it is not right! The country was brought down by the first emperor, and it should be inherited by the descendants of the first emperor! ”

"But now it's not about inheriting the throne, it's about taking the right to the throne, and now the official family is still alive and well, and there is no problem of inheriting the throne!"

"The throne is the throne, there is no question of exercising it on your behalf! The official family is already under siege, what is the difference between being captured and captured? A country cannot be without a king for a day! Now that the official family has fallen into the hands of the enemy, we must determine the new emperor! What is this not the inheritance of the throne? ”

"But ......"

"That's it!" Queen Blossom shouted to stop the argument between the two, and said: "Fighting back and forth is a question: whether it is to set up a new monarch." Or find someone to exercise imperial power instead of the official family. The two of you have already made your opinion clear, let the others share it as well. Everyone's free to speak! ”

Li Ying, Yin Hui, Li Ji and the three of them hurriedly said: "Weichen thinks that this is just looking for someone to exercise the imperial power on his behalf, and there is no problem of inheriting the throne. ”

Wang Pu, Wang Shu, and Zhao Pudao: "Of course, it is the inheritance of the throne!" ”

Seeing that the six of them were going to argue again. Hua Rui said: "Okay, don't say what you have already said, otherwise, so many people will argue until next year, and there may not be any results!" Listen to everyone's opinions. ”

Only then did the six of them look at each other angrily and did not speak.

Empress Dowager Du's nephew, Du Zhu, a regular attendant on the right scattered horse, came out of the ranks, and arched his hand: "Weichen thinks." Xiang Xiang Xiang said very clearly before, the official family has been captured by the Liao army, and then the Liao army doesn't know why. He also released the official family and a thousand guards. From what Weichen can see, the purpose of the Liao army is obvious, they want to hold the official family hostage and order me to be the Great Song Dynasty! This. It is very clear from the content of the official decree on the compensation for land cession. Therefore, as far as I can see, the official family must have been held hostage by the Liao army. At the beginning, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms coerced the Son of Heaven to order the candidates, and the Liao army also wanted to follow the cat and draw the tiger to do this. The official family can no longer make his own opinions, and his holy decrees must have been written idealistically under the coercion of the Liao army! ”

These words caused the ministers in the palace to nod their heads in agreement.

Du Zhu continued: "Since the official family has been held hostage by the Liao army, we obey the so-called holy decree of the official family under this kind of thing. What is the difference between that and obeying the orders of the Liao army? ”

The ministers nodded their heads again and again.

The crown prince and the prince Wang Pu praised: "Lord Du is no longer right!" So, we can't do it according to this decree! Instead, it should be handled in accordance with Empress Dowager Du's Golden Covenant! ”

Cheng Yu sneered: "We can ignore the contents of the land cession compensation." However, such a holy decree as the regent of the throne was certainly not coerced. If the Liao army is coerced, they should not let the official family designate a person to exercise the imperial power on their behalf, but should directly obey the orders of the official family, so that they can directly order our Great Song Dynasty? ”

Seeing the fierce controversy, the ministers came out one after another to state their opinions:

Shi Xizai, the deputy privy envoy, came out and said: "Weichen thinks that what Master Cheng said makes sense. Although the official family has been heavily surrounded, the will should not be forced, so the holy decree of the official family should be obeyed, otherwise. It is a disobedience to the will. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's second queen, the elder brother of Empress Xiaoming, the king of the Guozi sacrifice wine, stood out and bowed down and said: "The official family is a man who stands up to the sky, if he is not held hostage and forced, it is impossible to accept such humiliating conditions as land cession and compensation, so he should be held hostage." His decree does not represent his own will. We can't do that. ”

Chai Yuxi, the deputy envoy of Hanlin, came out and said: "Whether the will of the official family is held hostage, we can only speculate, there is no evidence, since there is no evidence, it cannot be determined." Since there is no evidence to prove whether the official oracle was written under the circumstances of being held hostage, there can be no groundless speculation. Therefore, Weichen felt that it should still be handled in accordance with the official decree, and the third prince Zhao Yuankan would be the regent and exercise the emperor's power on his behalf. ”

"That's a mistake!" Zhang Mei, an old minister of the Song Taizu Dynasty and the general of the Left Circumference Guard, came out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Whether the official family has been held hostage is now a sure thing, the reason why the Liao army did this, if it is that we obey the will of the official family, if we really do this, it is equivalent to obeying the orders of the Liao army!" This is absolutely not a no-no! ”

Yang Shousu, the envoy of the East Cabinet and the privy councilor, came out and said: "What we are arguing about is the inheritance of the throne or the exercise of the throne, not whether the official decree is true or false." Weichen thought that the official family was still alive, so he couldn't choose another emperor. The case of Li Yuan and King Zhao Wuling mentioned by Lord Wang before was that the previous emperor took the initiative to pass on the throne to the later emperor, and it is not like we are now, the first emperor is still there, but we, the ministers, support a new emperor. It's not in order! (To be continued......)
