Chapter 145: The Sense of Crisis of the Temperance Envoy
The future is unpredictable, and no one can predict it.
But people always want to control the future, especially the emperors and generals in the court, many of them have a hope, or extravagant hope, that is, the future will develop according to their own expectations.
Even if you can't, you have to settle for the next best thing, control the future direction, follow the direction of this big ship, and go further.
Originally, the river in the Great Song Dynasty had been relatively calm, but the appearance of Zhao Zheng made many waves on the river, and the direction of the water flow was not as stable as before.
Now that he has suddenly become a royal family, his identity is not trivial, so this wave is bound to be even greater.
One more wonderful character, the future will definitely be more exciting, but it will also be more complex, and different people have different opinions and expectations. For a time, a few happy families in the court were happy and a few worried.
Prime Minister Wang Pu stepped forward and said: "It is a happy event that the official family has found a clan brother, because the position of Zong Zhengqing is still vacant, so I forgive the old minister for asking more, has Zhao Zheng's bloodline ever been checked clearly?" ”
Although it is the emperor's family matter, there must be doubts, Wang Pu's move should not be a big deal, maybe it can be regarded as conscientious! As a ruling minister, if you don't pay attention to it, won't it be completely an ornament?
"I have appointed Zhao Pu to investigate this matter in detail, and both the Queen Mother and I have recognized the results, Zhao Zheng is the fifth grandson of Emperor Xuzu and my brother."
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Today, Zhao Zheng will go with the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors." ”
Is it the Zhao family, the queen mother and the emperor are the most vocal, not to mention the evidence of Zhao Pu's detailed investigation, and it is difficult for others to question it.
Wang Pu nodded and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the official family and the fifth son." ”
Zhao Zheng noticed that when the old man spoke, his eyes swept over himself and Zhao Pu intentionally or unintentionally, and his expression seemed to be a little unfriendly.
Is it any wonder? Zhao Kuangyin reused Zhao Pu and cultivated it greatly. There is a great intention to replace several of them "former prime ministers". Maybe Wang Pu has already felt a strong sense of crisis, so he, especially Zhao Pu, is not very friendly!
Among the generals, they are also in different moods, Zhao Yanhui is full of anger, no wonder Zhao Kuangyin is so protective of Zhao Zheng, it turns out that they are a family. is really ungrateful, thinking of Zhao Kuangyin, who was a big brother in the past, Zhao Yanhui was even more depressed. If you know today, why bother to support you on the throne?
You are unkind. Then don't blame me for my righteousness!
Han Lingkun and Zhao Kuangyin are small, and they had contact with Zhao Zheng in Heyang at the beginning, and they understand many things in their hearts, so the negative feelings are the lowest.
Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi and others were noncommittal, but there was a vague sense of urgency, the emperor's continuous use of relatives and henchmen would reduce his dependence on them, and have a certain impact on their status and power.
Gao Huaide remembered some of the words that his wife Zhao Yanran had said ominously, and suddenly realized. He also has concerns about Zhao Zheng's appearance, but he is relatively not very repulsive. After all, he married the eldest princess and was the son-in-law of the old Zhao family. It is good for the country to be stable.
As for Zhao Zheng, he is his wife's life-saving benefactor and his brother-in-law. It won't be long before the child is born, and he will have to call Zhao Zheng uncle. It's all your own family.
All in all, it was originally just a royal family affair, but the impact was anything but that. The court can almost be said to have their own ghosts.
Zhao Kuangyin continued: "In addition, I have another happy event to announce. Zhao Zheng and Fu Qing love girls and talented women, it is a match made in heaven, the queen mother likes it very much, and has made a decree to marry the two. Good things come in pairs, and Zhao Zheng stepped forward to seal it. ”
"The minister is here!"
"You are young and promising, and you have made a lot of contributions to the country, so I hereby grant you the title of Earl Wen'an, and let Si Tianjian choose an auspicious day to marry the lord of Fu." Zhao Kuangyin said that he threw a big stone on the court again.
Except for Zhao Pu, who had long known the inside story, most people were shocked. Fu Yanqing's face moved slightly, the emperor's move was also to take care of his own lintel, after all, Fu Li was the county lord, and Zhao Zheng's position as an imperial city envoy was too low.
Wen Anbo is different, although there is still a gap between the earl and the county lord, but the first title of the royal family, there is still great room for growth in the future, at least for now, it is a good match, and it complements each other.
As for why Wen Anbo was sealed, Fu Yanqing didn't understand before, Zhao Zheng was obviously a martial artist, why did he want to seal Wen Hou? Since he learned about Zhao Zheng's life experience, he knows it in his heart, and the emperor can be regarded as a painstaking lone!
Wen'an is a place name at all, in the past, Zhao Hao, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, served as the county commander of Yongqing, Wen'an, and Youdu counties, and it was probably in Wen'an that the concubine gave birth to Zhao Zheng's great-grandfather!
Zhao Zheng was made an earl, and the biggest reaction was Zhao Yanhui, his son was beaten in the past, and Zhao Kuangyin was beaten and eliminated, and he was punished and rewarded, favoring Zhao Zheng.
At the beginning, the so-called punishment was Wen Anbo, who exempted Zhao Zheng, and now he is recovering in such a grand manner, he is undoubtedly slapping himself in the face!
It is equivalent to his own son's beating in vain, thinking that his son's injuries have not yet healed, especially whether the inherited objects can be fully restored is still unknown, the anger in Zhao Yanhui's heart rushed upward.
He wanted to object, but he couldn't open his mouth!
Compared with him, the so-called eldest brother, Zhao Zheng is a serious royal family, and it is normal for him to be knighted, not to mention that it is also involved in the marriage with the Wei Palace.
First, this marriage is nominally the queen mother's decree, and it can also be said that the knighthood is the queen mother's move to comfort the ancestors and comfort the clan, not the emperor's decree. As a courtier, how can he disobey the face of the Queen Mother?
What's more, this earl is also to take care of the lintel of the Fu family, and the last time his son was beaten, it was because he delayed Zhao Zheng to go to the Fu Wang's Mansion for a banquet. If you oppose it now, won't you directly get along with Fu Yanqing?
Zhao Yanhui knew in his heart, although everyone was a festival envoy, but in terms of strength, Fu Yanqing's Tianxiong Army was obviously more powerful. What's more, the family is still the King of Wei, and the foundation of the Fu family for several generations has a great influence. At this moment, to grab the tiger's whiskers is to ask for hardship, so this thing can only knock out the teeth and swallow it in the stomach.
Others are more concerned about this political marriage, Zhao Guangyi has already married Fu Yanqing's six daughters, and now Zhao Zheng is marrying the seven county lords of the Wei Palace, and the relationship between the two Zhao Fu families can go further.
As a result, Fu Yanqing's aura of the Great Zhou Guozhang gradually dimmed, and it was replaced by a new relative of the Great Song Dynasty.
While everyone sighed at the change in Fu Yanqing's identity, they were more envious, envious that Fu Yanqing gave birth to several good daughters.
Let's ask the old men throughout the ages, who can compare to Fu Yanqing? The identity of the world's first husband is worthy of the name!
While everyone was ridiculing, some people were grateful for the changes in the situation in the court, and the elements and influences of the previous and later weeks were dying out little by little.
Prime Minister Fan Zhen silently closed his eyes, once Zhao Song completely gained a foothold and controlled the court, it would be time for them, the former prime ministers, to come to an end.
Wei Renpu also sighed secretly, as if he was very disappointed, but Wang Pu was more unwilling in his heart.
He is relatively younger, the position of Zaizhi has not yet been hot, he was always suppressed by Fan in the previous dynasty, and he was somewhat suspected of being overturned in the Song Dynasty, and he has not really experienced the taste of a supreme minister at all.
left silently like this, and handed over the big seal of the political hall to Zhao Pu, who was born in the army? Wang Pu smiled bitterly, thinking that he had put so much effort into it, should it all be in vain?
……
If the announcement of Zhao Zheng's royal status is a signal that the emperor has released a heavy confidant, then the addition of the title of earl is an impact.
Most of the generals who have made achievements from the dragon have this feeling, including Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi. Although the earl is not high, and it is not as powerful as the temperance, this is a signal, or a trend, which makes people have a sense of crisis.
Shi Shouxin, who was standing in the court, closed his eyes gently, and a sense of crisis quietly struck......
……
The subsequent Taimiao sacrifice, Zhao Kuangyin took Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangmei, Zhao Zheng and Zhao Dezhao to go together, although Zhao Defang can say that he can go, but after all, he is too young to be on the stage.
Seeing this scene, many people sighed with emotion, although the old Zhao family is not a special person, Ding Xingwang. But compared with the withering of the heirs of the previous dynasty and the Great Zhou, the scene of the lord and the country being suspicious is already much stronger.
Clear-eyed people can see that the emperor's move is for the world to see, showing that he himself is in good health, and there are several young and promising younger brothers behind him. The eldest son of the emperor is also over ten years old, smart and polite, and he is the first time to attend such a big scene, without stage fright at all, and he is obviously a good seedling.
The meaning of the expression is inheritance, it is to tell the people of the world, the successors of the old Zhao family, and the inheritance is promising. This is too important for the emperor's family, and it also makes people have a significant contrast with the previous dynasty, thus reflecting that the Great Song Dynasty is stronger than the Chai family of the Zhou Dynasty.
The most special is Zhao Zheng, although the bloodline is far away, but the Emperor Xuzu is enshrined in the Taimiao. After three bows and nine bows, his identity was confirmed.
Since then, Wen Anbo and Zhao Zheng have been royalty.
……
Several masters of the royal family are still in the Taimiao and have not come out, and the most beautiful one outside is probably Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei.
got another good son-in-law, married with the royal family, and there was an endless stream of people who congratulated the former court.
Fu Yanqing was really happy in her heart, and she couldn't lose her courtesy, so naturally she didn't refuse to come, and accepted it gladly. After receiving it in a circle, I couldn't help but think of the eldest daughter and the second daughter, the two queens of the previous dynasty.
The eldest daughter has passed away, and she and Chai Rong stand side by side in the Later Zhou Temple. Zhao Kuangyin had a will, the temple and mausoleum of the previous dynasty were sacrificed as usual, today is New Year's Day, there must be incense offerings. But what about the second daughter and grandson Chai Zongxun in the West Palace?
Helpless!
The world is so impermanent, although the daughters are all noble-born and married to illustrious, they are not necessarily happy.
Inadvertently, Fu Yanqing glanced in the direction of the West Palace, in order to preserve the survival and wealth of the Fu family, he, as a father, could only grieve his daughter......
At this time, a figure stood in the distance, a pair of sharp eyes saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth showed a complicated sneer. Seeing a group of low-faced Jiedu envoys again, the corners of their mouths twitched again, and they quietly turned away. (To be continued......)
