Zhao Kuangyin's prime minister Fan Zhen's son, Fan Yan, the head of the household department, came out and said: "As far as Lord Yang can see, this is not the inheritance of the throne, but the emperor who has designated the regent. I would like to ask, is this necessary? - The official family has already appointed four auxiliary ministers, and Empress Hua Rui listens to the government, these are already measures to exercise the power of the emperor on behalf of the emperor, is it necessary to find another prince to be the regent? ”

Zhao Kuangyin, the son of Dou Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the secretary of Dali Temple, said: "Weichen agrees with Lord Fan's opinion, the so-called auxiliary ministers, listening to the government, that is only when the new emperor is young, need to assist the establishment, I have never heard of anything to exercise the imperial power on behalf of the emperor, nor have I heard that when the emperor exercises imperial power, what auxiliary ministers need to be set up, listen to the government, so, all this, should be the establishment of the new monarch only measures!" A new monarch should be established in accordance with Empress Dowager Du's Golden Covenant! ”

…………

All of a sudden, everyone came out one after another, talking about their thoughts, or speaking generously, or tears in their eyes, which was moving. I talked about it all morning.

Seeing that it was already noon, many of the older ministers could no longer stand. This gradually stopped talking.

Hua Rui saw that everyone was talking about it, so she set her eyes on the four auxiliary ministers: "You four are the auxiliary ministers designated in the official oracle, so please also tell us your opinions." ”

Zhao Pudao: "The old minister's opinion is already very clear, and this is also the purpose of taking out the Jinkui Covenant, since there is already such an agreement on the inheritance of the throne." It should be according to such an agreement. To put it mildly, if there is no such golden covenant, it is an official family. Nor can he inherit the throne. Now, the official family has almost been captured by the Liao army, and even promised to lose power and humiliate the country such as land cession and compensation, and it is obvious that the official family has been held hostage by the Liao army. Therefore, we can no longer obey the decree of the official family at this time, but should strictly follow the covenant. The throne was inherited by Zhao Heng, the grandson of the first emperor's long house! ”

Zhao Hongyu glanced at Leng Yi, then at Shen Lun, and smiled sympathetically. Said: "The old way is also the same meaning. Zhao Heng should inherit the throne. ”

Shen Lun glanced at Zhao Hongrust with some palpitations, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Weichen also agrees with Lord Zhao's opinion, but." Lao Chen thinks. Since there are still so many ministers in the court who disagree, and advocate that the third prince of the official family, Zhao Yuankan, inherit the throne, shouldn't they also consider their ideas? ”

Zhao Hongyu immediately squinted at Shen Lun: "You kid has a lot of crooked ideas!" What does it mean to consider their thoughts? Could it be that you are still ready to propose two emperors to come out? ”

Shen Lun hurriedly said: "No, no, of course not, I think so, although the official family is surrounded by the Liao army, it is almost the same as being captured, but. In the end, he was not really captured, and he did not die. Now that we have a new king, what if the official family comes back one day? ”

"What else can I do? He does whatever he likes! Zhao Hongyu said coldly. He went out to find immortals and visited the Tao, and he rarely had any contact with Zhao Guangyi's nephew, so he had no feelings for him. In addition, he is a master of art and bold, and he is not afraid of death, so he said it casually.

However, many of the ministers were Zhao Guangyi's cronies and sworn friends, as well as Zhao Guangyi's imperial relatives, so they naturally didn't do it, Li Ying stood up first and said: "Lord Yi! Speaking of which, the official family is also your junior, how can you treat him like this. The reason why he was besieged by the Liao army was also because he went out to fight. If he comes back after a lot of suffering, he should naturally be the emperor again, and the new emperor, no matter who it is, must give way! Otherwise, what kind of system would it be? ”

Cheng Yu and others also agreed.

The stamen looked at Leng Yi. Leng Yi has been listening to their discussions silently, just to take advantage of this opportunity to find out who in the court is not in line with him. What kind of abacus is there? Now, it's pretty much the same. At present, it seems that the Chinese military hundred officials of the imperial court are almost half of half, that is, half of those who support the side of the first emperor Zhao Kuangyin, and half of those who support the official Zhao Guangyi. It's no wonder that after all, the official family has ruled for several years, and he is a very scheming person, who has been squeezing out the old ministers of the Zhao Kuangyin era and promoting a group of people who are loyal to him. Although the time is relatively short, it has already had a great effect, this time he is not there, and there are still more than half of the people to help him speak, which is enough to explain the problem. This is still the result of confrontation on the basis that he has promoted a group of generals.

In this case, it seems that it is impossible to win a big victory, and the ideas of these people must be taken into account, otherwise, it is impossible to get the approval of the ministers all the time to establish Zhao Heng's idea, then it lacks authority, and once Zhao Guangyi comes back in the future, things will not be easy to do.

Thinking of this, Leng Yi adjusted his strategy in time, and said with a smile: "I'll say a few words." ”

As soon as Leng Yi came forward, everyone stopped talking and looked at him together. After all, he has a heavy army in his hands, and a large number of soldiers are following him with all his heart, and his words are what really work, and his opinion will play a crucial role in where this matter will develop.

Leng Yi said: "I agree with Lord Zhao Puzhao in principle. However, I think that the opinions of Shen Lun Shen and Li Ying Li are also very reasonable. So, after combining the opinions of both sides, let me put forward an opinion, how about you take a look? ”

Everyone knows that the moment to decide the future fate of the Great Song Dynasty has finally come, just in the words behind Leng Yi. Therefore, I listened with my ears pricked up one by one, for fear that I would miss a sentence and affect my future promotion.

Leng Yi said slowly: "Empress Dowager Du's Golden Covenant, which was agreed between Empress Dowager Du and the first emperor and the official family, was approved by the first emperor and the official family. Implementing it in accordance with the above provisions does not violate the original intention of the officials. This is one of them, the official family has been almost captured, the Liao army is not a fuel-efficient lamp, they will definitely make the most of this to strive for the maximum benefit, with the official family, he will never agree to the loss of power and humiliation of the country such as land reparation, but now he has agreed, so we can judge that he has been held hostage by the Liao army, therefore, his holy decree, obviously contrary to common sense, we cannot execute. Otherwise, you will fall for the tricks of the Liao army. This is the second one. ”

All the ministers nodded their heads when they heard what he said, and although the relatives and cronies of Zhao Guangyi's line did not nod, they also felt that his words were still more ear-catching, so they all listened quietly.

Leng Yi continued: "The reason why Empress Dowager Du agreed with the first emperor and them on the Jinkui Covenant was because the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and now, we set up Zhao Heng as the emperor according to Empress Dowager Du's Jinkui Covenant, Zhao Heng is only five or six years old, and it is also a situation where the lord Shaoguo is suspicious. It also went against the original intention of Empress Dowager Du. However, now the three heirs to the throne on the Jinkui Alliance, the official family has been deeply encircled, Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, has died in battle, Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wugong County, died unexpectedly, and Zhao Dezhao's younger brother Zhao Defang is also under siege with the official family, and they cannot inherit the throne, so we have to set up the young lord Zhao Heng as the emperor. However, as long as the official family returns to the dynasty before the young lord is still an adult and can be in power, we should all support the official family again, and strongly advocate the abdication of the new emperor and let the official family re-ascend the throne as emperor. As the Auxiliary Minister, I can guarantee this in front of everyone! ”

Zhao Pu was the only one who looked forward to Leng Yi, and when he heard this, he quickly said: "I completely agree with this opinion of Commander Leng. It is also reasonable to have a last resort. ”

Of course, Zhao Hongrust also agreed with Leng Yi, and nodded: "Okay!" I agree too! Then he looked at Shen Lun.

Shen Lun hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Of course I agree, but there is one more thing I don't understand, so it's better to talk about it clearly today." - If the official family comes back before the new emperor comes to power, the new emperor must abdicate. However, what if after the new emperor came to power, the official family returned? ”

Leng Yi smiled and said, "The new emperor is already in power, at that time, is it still useful for us to say anything?" Why don't you leave the matter to the two emperors to discuss for themselves? Leng Yi saw that Shen Lun, Li Ying and the others were still calm, so he said: "Of course, as a person, I still hope that the official family will be in charge of the government, if my personal opinion is solicited at that time, I will advocate that the new emperor return the throne to the official family." I believe that in the future, the official family will strictly follow the agreement of the Jinkui Covenant and return the throne to the first emperor. The official is a man of his word. You're right? ”

Although many ministers don't think much of Leng Yi's last sentence, who would shake their heads in public and deny it? They all smiled and nodded yes.

Leng Yi was more satisfied with both sides of his words, Li Ying and the others saw that half of the ministers advocated that Zhao Heng inherit the throne, and what was even worse was that at least three and a half of the four auxiliary ministers had agreed that Zhao Heng, the adopted grandson of Empress Hua Rui, would inherit the throne, and Empress Hua Rui's adopted grandson would inherit the throne, and it was impossible for Empress Hua Rui herself to oppose it. Therefore, this matter now seems to be difficult to change, but fortunately, Leng Yi and others have publicly stated that once the official family comes back before the new emperor comes back, they will transfer the throne to the official family, that is, they will come back after the personal conquest, and they will also advocate returning the throne, which gives them some protection.

So, Li Ying nodded and said, "Okay, I agree that Zhao Heng will inherit the throne, I just hope that Commander Leng will be true to your word!" ”

Leng Yi smiled: "Don't worry! ”

Hearing that Zhao Yuankan's grandfather Li Ying gave in, Cheng Yu and the others naturally had no more objections, and besides, all of them who are ministers here know how important the merit of support is for a new emperor, if he resolutely opposes the issue of the emperor coming to power, the emperor will definitely not give him good fruits to eat in the future! Now that it is impossible to stop Zhao Heng from becoming the new emperor, if he does not change the direction of the wind in time and change from opposition to support, it means that he will not be able to get along with himself.

As a result, those ministers who opposed Zhao Heng as emperor, when Li Ying's imperial relatives and relatives all surrendered, naturally followed one by one to express their support. (To be continued......)
