Chapter 774: The Prince (4)
Zhao Zhen asked quietly: "Sima Qing, what does Zheng Lang mean?" β
Sima Guang said: "No, Your Majesty, is it the meaning of the minister.?" As early as the first year of Jiayou, Zheng Lang wrote to us again and again, not to meddle in the matter of the crown prince, so as not to make His Majesty ...... Your Majesty......"
"Say, I know that my family affairs are state affairs."
"Yes, Your Majesty, what Zheng Lang means is that he will not support, oppose or let us intervene, and the minister will not dare to write to him before he is reprimanded, for fear of being blamed. However, the minister thought that Zheng Lang was selfish about His Majesty and valued state affairs, and took His Majesty's feelings too seriously into account and neglected state affairs. β
"I know." Zhao Zhen showed a hint of a smile.
The smile is so pure, as if in an instant, all Qiu Ju has become extraordinarily bright in this smile.
However, Sima Guang was stunned at the moment.
"Let's take a walk with me."
"Whoa."
Two into the palace out of the palace.
Autumn is gradually coming, the sky is high and cool, and there are no clouds, just like a mirror that is clear and crystalline.
"Do you have to choose a sect disciple as your heir?" After a long while, Zhao Zhen muttered to himself: "This is the words of loyal ministers, and they generally dare not say it." β
Sima Guang couldn't answer.
Suddenly, an autumn wind set off in the sky, and then clouds surged up from the early sky.
"Why don't you speak?"
"The minister played this, claiming that he would die, and did not admit that he would open it to His Majesty." Sima Guang replied stubbornly.
"To put it mildly, you are also thinking about the country, choosing the clan as the emperor's heir, there is a story in ancient times, you will hand over the chapter to the Chinese book."
Sima Guang became more and more ashamed in his heart, reluctantly restrained, and said calmly: "This matter is very important, please ask Your Majesty to write a book." β
Saying that, he bowed down and retreated, and glanced at Zhao Zhen when he left, the clouds rose to the sky at this time, and the bright sky just now suddenly darkened. Layers of darkness gradually drowned Zhao Zhen's thin figure, the autumn wind blew Zhao Zhen's dress, and the thin body seemed to sway, like a weak wild chrysanthemum in the wind.
Achieving his wish, this is something that Fan Zhen, Tang Jie, Bao Zheng and other famous ministers did not do well, and he actually let him find out the matter in one chapter, but Sima Guang felt unhappy.
After Sima Guang withdrew from the inner palace, he came to Zhongshu to talk about Jianghuai's private salt, and Han Qi asked, "What did Jin Yao say to the emperor?" β
"I said the great plan of the temple society." Sima Guang cherished his mouth like gold, and replied in eight characters.
Han Qi looked at Sima Guang's expression, smiled slightly, and didn't ask again.
But after dozens of years, Han Qi didn't hear any movement, and it happened that the imperial court edict ordered Chen Zhu to detail the interests of the family in the palace. Han Qi said to Chen Zhu, I heard that you and Sima Jun are really good, and Junshi has made suggestions a few times ago, can you send what you say to Zhongshu first. If you want to do this, don't stand on your own. As for the matter of the bank, I won't bother you.
After speaking, he stared at Chen Su with his eyes.
Chen Zhu was helpless and couldn't afford to offend, so he had to find Sima Guang and tell him what he had done.
Han Qi was anxious, what is this kid doing, I have hinted at it, why don't you tell me what happened. Did this kid listen to me and do it, or was he playing tricks on me, Han Qi doubted.
Sima Guang remained silent.
When he returned home, he wrote another piece of music, and the last time the minister played the matter of the heir, His Majesty listened to it, and the minister expected to hear His Majesty pronounce the sound of virtue day and night, announcing that the minister would carry out his affairs. But after a month, I didn't hear of it. Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that the matter is important, and Jing chooses the clan, but he does not get it, or he enters left and right, and he is frustrated, and he listens to the saints? I don't know. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty reigned for twenty-five years, forty or fifty years old, and had no heirs, and set up his disciple Tao Wang Xin as the crown prince. Now that the year of His Majesty's accession to the throne and the autumn of Chunqiu have passed, don't you think deeply about the Jongmyo Society? The minister does not dare to expect His Majesty to be in the East Palace, but I hope that His Majesty will choose the benevolent and filial piety of the clan and the wise people, and raise them as sons, and the residence of the officials and lords will be slightly different from the public. He was born as the crown prince and retreated to the domain, what hurt him? This sincerity is the foundation of safety, and I hope that Your Majesty will act decisively and quickly.
He also borrowed the convenience of his own cultivation and daily life, and said: "The minister said to the person, Your Majesty is happy to have no difficulty, and he will do what he says." Now that there is nothing to hear, there will be a small statement that Your Majesty is prosperous in the autumn, and the descendants should be hundreds of billions, so why rush to do this ominous thing. Xiao Jin has no foresight, and wants to take advantage of the rush to help them enter the good. Since the Tang Dynasty Wenzong, the heirs are all out of the left and right, so that there is a decision to make the country's elders, and the protΓ©gΓ©s have young children, this disaster can be said to be true? β
The Song Dynasty was a protΓ©gΓ© of the young son, and he came to a protΓ©gΓ©.
But it's better to be on guard than not at all.
If it really comes to this point, what will happen to the foundation of the Song Dynasty?
This is the skill of speaking, Zhao Zhen was moved by him again, and said: "Send the book." β
This time, Sima Guang didn't refuse again, he went to the middle book, and said the matter concisely, everyone looked at each other, this kid Niu O, how can you say that the emperor is moved?
All of them are making stupid mistakes.
Sima Guang said anxiously: "Your Majesty has decided to establish a prince, if the princes do not negotiate in time, he will be forbidden to enter a certain paper in the middle of the night, and he will not dare to disobey." β
Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu all forgot their identities one by one, and said together, "Dare not do your best." β
Sima Guang retired, and there was nothing to do with him.
Zhu Jin began to draft the chapter, Chen Zhu was excited, wrote the chapter, sent it out, and said to the family: "I am entering a text today, saying that the society has a big plan, if you offend, the big one will die, and the small one will run, you should be on guard." β
It may be possible to wander, and there are so many who must die.
Excited and nervous, scared, and worried, this old boy had a bad heart function and died violently that night.
Chen Zhu's death, without any questioning, Han Qi led the same column to the Vertical Arch Palace, ready to read Sima Guang and Lu Xu's recital, Lu Zhi also went to the book, but he was playing the side ball and did not play much role. Before the chapter was opened, Zhao Zhen said: "I have had this intention for a long time, but I have not been able to get it. β
There was a faint regret in my heart.
However, Jun didn't joke, and it was useless to regret it at this time, so he changed his words and asked, "Who is in the clan?" β
Han Qi replied: "This matter is not negotiable for the ministers, please choose Your Majesty." β
The palace even stole the concubines and spread the news, raising two clan children, the minister doesn't know? Not to mention the ministers, even ordinary people can know a little about it. Gotta get rid of yourself.
Zhao Zhen said: "There were two sons in the palace, the younger one was very pure and kind when he was a child, and he was not favored recently, but the big one can." β
No matter which one is small, it's really unfair, although Zhao Zhen is not so close to Queen Cao, Bi Jing is the queen and is in charge of the harem. With her doing the back, don't say a small one, ten small ones don't work. What is good and what is bad, it is not a sentence in the mouth?
But Han Qi was serious, strode forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what's your name?" β
Zhao Zhen actually replied in the same seriousness: "Zongshi, I am thirty years old today." β
thought that Han Qi was the second Lu Yijian, so because he was steady, he asked a question that should not be asked.
Han Qi takes retreat as advance, no matter what, Zhao Zhen treats him well, and repeatedly forces Zhao Zhen to establish a reserve, can it be said that it is a deep pain to Zhao Zhen? I also had the suspicion of wanting to stand up, so I said with righteousness: "This matter is very big, and the ministers dare not carry it out, Your Majesty will think about it again tonight, and come to take the decree." β
Walking out of the Vertical Arch Hall, Ouyang Xiu complained: "Zhigui, why are you retreating? β
"When many ministers hear His Majesty's decree, there is no room for remorse, so why rush at this time?" Han Qi replied.
Ouyang Xiu also thought so, so he didn't say anything more.
But this night, Han Qi was restless in sleep, and like him, many of them did not sleep well this night. In the second death, he was the same as Sima Guang, afraid that the emperor would regret it, so he took the minister into the vertical arch hall to see him, and then started the matter.
Zhao Zhen said: "There is no doubt about it. β
Don't ask again, I've made up my mind.
Han Qi took a step back and said, "Things should be gradual, you can't immediately establish a prince and heir, you can give an official position first." β
Inspired by Sima Guang's performance.
The boy is okay, his head is enough, he just wanted to straighten it out immediately and become the crown prince, can the emperor agree? Now that he is supporting his adopted son, the emperor's worries will be reduced by half. Therefore, Han Qi took a step back, first conferred an official, and then evolved into an adopted son, and evolved into the crown prince.
Then he discussed with the ministers in a low voice for a while, and said: "You can be the defense envoy of Qinzhou and the main temple of Zhizong." β
Zhao Zhen is very happy, this is even better, there is a son who has not even established an heir, the obstacle will not be big, there is no son who has been supported as the Zhizong Temple, and there is also what Sima Guang said to show the difference. Said: "Very good. β
Han Qi took a step back and said, "The matter cannot be stopped, since Your Majesty's decision has been decided, please approve it from the Inner Palace." β
I also want a decree from the queen.
Zhao Zhen said: "How can this make women know, just write the purpose." β
From beginning to end, because Han Qi retreated twice, Zhao Zhen did not suspect at all, on the contrary, Zhao Zhen favored Han Qi even more, and until his death, Han Qi always served as the prime minister.
Regardless of the time that is added together intermittently, just the time spent in the phase position, Han Qi can rank in the top five in the Song Dynasty this time.
The crown prince's case was finally revealed, and the whole city celebrated.
But this night, Sima Guang's mind kept floating with Zhao Zhen's gentle smile, Qianjing's eyes, and the thin figure shrouded in dark clouds, and he was drunk.
It's not over yet.
The edict was issued, and Zhao Zongshi's father had only been dead for two years, and he asked for a funeral. This mourning request is also the completion of the three-year mourning period. During this mourning time, no official position can be accepted.
Shouxiao can't be said to be wrong, Guan Jian Zhao Zongshi's identity.
Later, the Ming Dynasty also had the same scene, Emperor Jiajing's great etiquette, which seemed to be similar, and Zhao Zongshi's handling methods were more gentle, but it was not. Emperor Jiajing was not adopted in the palace since he was a child, and he did not have the title of adopted son.
This was very particular in ancient times, once he became an adopted son who entered the family, he could no longer recognize the family when he became a monk.
There is another one, the son-in-law of the door, for the future generations, if there is a Bai Fumei who takes a fancy to it, the son-in-law will come to the son-in-law, and ensure that countless wolves howl to be this son-in-law, but at this time it is different, once he is in the red, his status is low, and he can only follow his wife's surname if he has children in the future. Even Bai Fumei can't do it. Like Zheng Lang's two daughters are the top ladies of the Song Dynasty, this refers to getting married, once Cui Xian releases a rumor that our Zheng family will not marry and want to recruit a son-in-law, the identity will immediately be different.
Or just like Sima Guang raised Sima Kang as his adopted son, Sima Kang's biological father's eldest brother Sima Dan died, can Sima Kang ask for a funeral for Sima Dan? As soon as the front asks for a funeral, the entire Sima family will talk to Sima Kang in the back, and even let him enter the small black room.
The emperor endured the pain and was ready to make Zhao Zongshi the emperor's heir, but at this time, Zhao Zongshi was mourning his biological father, and Han Qi was so angry that he almost spurted blood. He couldn't go directly to the palace to ask, so he had to find a confidant to ask Gao Zunyu what was going on.
There has been no answer.
In fact, Gao Taotao was also persuading in the inner palace, but her husband didn't listen to it as if he had committed an evil crime, and Gao Taotao's persuasion was also angry. Where can I give Han Qi the answer?
Zhao Zhen asked Han Qi, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it, although Zhao Yun made you his biological father, but you were raised in the deep palace since you were a child, and I treat you well, if you want to correct your father's name, what will I do in the future? It's not even my father's mausoleum, Zhenzong's mausoleum, which is not included in the memorial service.
He regretted it, he was not biological, he was not biological, no, I still had to make a son.
Han Qi couldn't explain, don't worry, just started, he cleaned up this stall, and he couldn't answer, so he had to say: "Your Majesty chose it because he knew that he was virtuous, and he didn't dare to be the one today, because he was far-sighted, and the minister thought he was virtuous." May it be solidified. β
Zhao Zhen thought about it, forget it, the Song Dynasty established the country with filial piety, although this nephew is a little ignorant, his heart is still commendable. said: "Han Qing, I'll leave it to you." β
Han Qi was so angry that he first directly called Zhao Zongshi's secretary Meng Sui to inquire, and asked Meng Sui to pass on the word, Shizi, take it when you see it.
However, the three times he was not invited, Han Qi was furious, went straight to the inner palace, found Zhao Zongshi, and after a conversation, he was invited by him.
Han Qi was tired, relieved, and ran home to sleep with his head covered. But finally relieved.
Don't worry, Zhao Zongshi thought about it, I still can't bear it, and the final mourning has not passed, and the above table will return the Qinzhou defense envoy and the Zhizong Righteous Edict.
Han Qi was dealing with official business, a lot of affairs, the state, the river workers, and the northwest, he was very busy, and when he heard it, he sat on the ground and said in his heart, I just want to be greedy for this support, if I am not greedy, I will still be a Zhizhou, can I be exiled?
The problem is that Zhao Zhen let this edict be issued, so every time Zhao Zongshi resigned to the letter, he handed it to the Chinese book again.
Han Qi angrily marked two big characters with cinnabar, not allowed!
directly asked Meng Sui to send it back.
Since then, Han Qi has been sad, and every life is like a nightmare. Sima Guang was worried that Han Qi was doing something to the river workers, did he have this spare time?
The edict was handed to Qingning Palace, the dormitory of the Zhao clan, and after a few deaths, the second letter was handed back to the Chinese book.
and the edict is not allowed.
The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth letters, a total of eighteen!
Han Qi asked Meng Sui angrily, "What does Shizi Jiujing want to do?" β
Meng Sui didn't dare to answer, in fact, he made a lot of benefits this time, Zhao Zongshi said to him, every time you write a resignation for me, I will give you ten gold, eighteen speeches, one hundred and eighty taels of gold, one thousand eight hundred yuan, and a small fortune.
It's been more than a year, and Han Qi hid it at first, but then Zhao Zhen gradually heard about it, found Han Qi, and said, "Since he doesn't want to, forget it." β
Anyway, he was thinking about his biological father, he didn't pay attention to his adoptive father, and even if he occasionally had a minor illness, he didn't come to visit, what was the point of this adopted son staying, not to mention pushing him to the throne of the first to enter in the future.
As for the entry of heirs, there are not too many children of the clan. There are dozens of grandsons of my father's own uncles alone, so what's the difficulty in picking one with good character?
He trusted Han Qi, but he didn't expect Han Qi to bet all his political capital on Zhao Zongshi, and at this time, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were both difficult to ride. Han Qi said: "This matter is safe and medium, and I hope that Your Majesty will personally give him a codex, so that he will know that it is from the holy will, and he will not dare to resign." β
Zhao Zongshi was really lucky, he met a benevolent king that had never been seen in the ages, and if he changed any emperor, not to mention that the emperor's heir was gone, his head might be gone.
Listening to Han Qi's words, Zhao Zhen thought that this kid had always been very honest, and he was a little afraid in the face of this throne. Yes, forgive him for once. So he personally commanded and summoned him.
Qingning Palace entered and exited, and said to the envoy: "The prince is sick and can't enter." β
Han Qi's head was bruised, and he gathered the big guys together to discuss, these were all his cronies, and it was also a private discussion, Zhao Zongshi was not stupid, otherwise he would not have made so many small moves before, so that he dragged all these into the water. What is the reason for his evil spirits?
I think of a reason, only the name of Zongzheng, not the name of the prince, so this son is making trouble.
So into the pair, Zhao Zhen thought about it and agreed, and said: "Don't change his name, you can be established as a prince, and Mingtang will be fast." β
What has become of them? actually went on eighteen resignation lists, plus the first four rejection tables, a total of twenty-two. It's a soap opera. The Privy Council needed the consent of the Privy Council to establish the prince, so Han Qi asked the Privy Council officials to come over and give an edict.
This was all discussed and planned by Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu in private, and most of the ministers did not know about it in the valley. The establishment of the crown prince is for the sake of the country, which is normal. But because Zhao Zongshi was too capable of tossing, in order to discuss, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu had to stay together from time to time to plan.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng had doubts and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't doubt it?" β
The whole thing is not right, Your Majesty, you have to think about it.
Zhao Zhen misunderstood and said: "I just want the people to belong, as long as the Zhao clan is fine, there is nothing to doubt." β
Zhang Sheng still wanted to speak, but suddenly thought of some things about Zheng Lang's entry into Beijing when he died last winter, stayed there, and congratulated him repeatedly. In fact, not only Zhang Sheng, but also many ministers were suspicious, which laid a big powder bag for the future. Han Qi asked Wang Qi, a scholar from Chaolin, to draft an edict, and Wang Qi said: "This important matter must be ordered in person." β
The rest of the Hanlin Scholars stared at Han Qi with Jing Ti's eyes.
Han Qi is a prime minister, or a very powerful minister, but the will of the public is not violated, so he had to wait until the second death, and invited Wang Qi to join the pair, saying: "The sea has been looking at this for a long time, is it out of His Majesty's holy will?" β
Zhao Zhen said: "I have made up my mind. β
Wang Qi had no choice but to write a draft edict, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu stood on him nervously, the draft edict was written, and it was handed over to them, but Wang Jue looked at them with contempt, and Ouyang Xiu sneered: "True bachelor also." β
walked out, and the two into the relief again.
In terms of the two heads and melon seeds, it can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Song Dynasty, but Zhao Zongshi grinded it down in a year, and he almost became a nervous disorder. In August of the following year, Zhao Zhen personally gathered the royal family in Beijing and read out the edict: Entering the Tao is the first priority of the king. The general of the right guard, the Yuezhou regiment training envoy Zongshi, the son of the emperor's brother Pu Anyi Wang, the son of Juzhen, bowed less in the palace, was wise and benevolent, and was seen in Shucheng. The Ri chooses the son of the sect to be close to the family, and orders to govern the righteous things, and the number of the messengers is to the first, but to revere the humility and retreat, and not to be ordered for a long time, I am silent. The way of love is from the relatives, and he thinks he is the prince.
He also changed Zhao Zong's real name to Zhao Shu.
The meaning of the dawn also shows that Zhao Zhen attaches great importance to him.
After hearing this, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu stroked their hands and said, "The big thing is finally decided." β
Ouyang repaired his forehead, but at this time he was not happy, but a wry smile on his mouth. Before Han Qi could speak, another official came over to report: "The big thing is not good." β
Awarded as a prince, but also a gift. Then there was a series of cumbersome etiquette, of course, first the edict notice, but Zhao Zongshi was very good, crying and fussing that I didn't accept it, and if I didn't accept it, I didn't accept it. Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu suddenly lay on the big tree and gasped, you can't shout now, why bother in the first place. We're doing this evil thing.
It's still very early.
It's a rare super-soap drama in history, but a lot has happened before that.
The country cannot stop functioning normally because of Zhao Zongshi's dirty thoughts.
Di Qing withdrew to Yanzhou with the army, and it was a pity that a few people entered. Including Han Qi, but his Jing power was transferred to Zhao Zongshi, and he didn't care about it. Di Qing was sick, and he didn't care much. In the past few years, Di Qing has been getting older and older, and he often gets sick, and he can't suddenly lose Di Qing's exploits because he is sick. So Yan Chen played one after another and asked Zhao Zhen to transfer Di Qing back to the capital. Pang Ji occasionally helps, not for himself, but for the country. Han Qi wanted to distract Zhao Zongshi again, so he silently ignored Pang Ji's occasional entry and exit from Zhongshu and came over to assist.
However, many impeachments were incurred, if it weren't for the halfway of the river work to prevent accidents, Pang Ji would have wanted to go back to his hometown to rest in a fit of anger. Seeing these twists and turns, there was no way to protect himself, so he had no choice but to write a private letter to ask Zheng Lang for help.
Zheng Langxin had not yet arrived in the hands of Pang Ji, and there was a shocking news that Di Qing was seriously ill and died.
