The curtain is based on the absence of the lord of the country or the young and sick to manage the country, and the female protagonist is in charge of the power. It is transitory, that is, even if it holds actual power, it is not recognized as having a formal status, and its status is formally stated by "internal control" and "power to dispose of military and state affairs".

In the Song Dynasty, there were Zhenzong Zhangxian Empress Liu, Renzong Ci Shengguang Empress Cao, Yingzong Xuanren Shenglie Empress Gao, Shenzong Qin Shengxian Su Xiang Empress Xiang, Zhezong Zhaoci Shengxian Empress Meng, Gaozong Xian Shengci Empress Wu, Ning Zonggong Shengren Lie Yang Empress, and Empress Lizong Xie listened to the government or listened to the government with a curtain. Among them, the Xiang family established the Huizong and the Wu family established the Ning Sect, which shows the great power of the queen (queen mother), but the Song Dynasty rarely had the situation of the dictatorship of foreign relatives like the Eastern Han Dynasty.

I have to say that the strength of the soldiers and strategists of King Kang's Mansion and King Qin's Mansion is only one of the comparisons of the strength of the two sides. There is another kind of power in the harem. In this regard, Zhao Gou is not Zhao Ta's opponent at all. This is closely related to the identity of their respective biological mothers. Although Zhao Ji has many concubines and beauties, and also has a few favorite concubines, Zheng Hongmei has been immortal for a long time.

Empress Dowager Zheng's unillustrious family background did not diminish her talents, Zheng's young man entered the palace, smart and clever, she was clever and intelligent by nature, read the history, and dealt with things in the palace with appropriate quotations, and the Empress Dowager always made the Zheng family wait for Duan Wang Zhao Ji. After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Xiang gave the Zheng family to Zhao Ji.

Zheng is not only elegant and beautiful, but can appreciate her calligraphy and painting and help with the movements, and also reward her with some poems, paintings and lyrics. Therefore, Zhao Ji always asked her to accompany her to review and discuss state affairs, and her thoughtfulness and courtesy made Zhao Ji trust her very much. As a result, Zhengtai has developed a talent for handling government affairs. Zheng was canonized as empress. She is still thrifty, and even the queen's crown dress is restructured with a concubine dress. During her reign as queen. The Zheng family never interfered in politics, so they were quite praised by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Zhao Ta's life in the palace was very short. After returning to Beijing from Xiangyi, he has lived in Waikai Mansion separately, and he is not as familiar with Zhao Gou's concubines in the palace. But Zhao Ta's filial piety is famous, although he does not deliberately flatter the concubines in the palace, he has never missed three festivals and four courtesies, even for Wang Guifei and Cui Defei, who have secretly murdered him and had conflicts. Except for the arrogant Zhao Kai, the brothers and sisters can get along harmoniously, and they are happy, so that Zhao Ta has a good reputation and popularity in the palace.

But Zhao Gou is a lot worse, his mother Wei Shi was an ordinary maid by Empress Zheng's side. Even if Zheng didn't become a queen, her previous experience made her half a cut short without speaking, which can be said to be congenitally insufficient, and she couldn't stand up in front of Empress Zheng at all. As for the relationship with the palace, in the big inner where snobbery is concentrated, no one will befriend a person with a low status and mediocre family affairs, if it weren't for Zhao Gou's peace of mind, Wei is afraid that he will be a graceful person for the rest of his life.

Empress Meng Xiang of Zhezong was the daughter of the 40th grandson of Mencius. When Meng was sixteen years old, he was elected to the palace with more than 100 women from the family, and won the love of the Empress Dowager Xuanren Gao and the Empress Dowager Qinsheng. Therefore, at the age of twenty in the seventh year, Wonwoo was canonized as the empress of Zhezong. Empress Xuanren Gao was canonized as Empress Zhezong at the beginning of Empress Meng, and once said, "Si people are virtuous and gentle." Cherish the blessing of Bo Er, if there is something in the country on a different day, this woman must deserve it! ”

This is true of God. It seems to be predestined for the consequences of his personal life. Empress Meng was defeated and deposed in the battle of the harem, and because of his deposition, he was saved from being taken captive by the Jurchens. It's really unpredictable to survive. Looking back on Zhezong's canonization of Empress Meng, it was originally his imperial grandmother, Empress Dowager Xuanren Gao, etc., out of political needs, who valued her "virtue", while Empress Meng was kind, strict with herself, and had high virtues.

For Empress Meng to be invited out of the curtain by Zhang Bangchang to listen to the government, and then anxious to let Zhao Gou ascend the throne, Zhao Ta did not feel that there was anything wrong, in the case that all the Zhao clan was taken away at that time, it was the only right choice to establish Zhao Gou as the heir to continue the Zhao family's lineage, and her sudden appearance was just an accident for her.

At the bleakest moment of Empress Meng's life, he once helped despite the blows of political enemies, and he will not forget that he will not get in the way even if he does not help himself with his virtue, which can add a few points to himself. Now the situation is very different, more than a dozen princes and county kings have been rescued, and Zhao Gou is not the only choice, there is room for picking...

Wuma cottage is the collective name of more than a dozen cottages nearby, here is the general rudder of the cottage, this time suddenly came so many distinguished guests, princes, county kings have more than ten, where have they seen so many nobles in the past, the cottage was originally very simple, where can be placed.

Only the general rudder conditions are still good, there are dozens of stone houses, Zhao Bangjie will let out these nobles to live in, the others can only live in tents, fortunately it is now late spring, the weather is warmer and will not be frozen.

"Queen Mother, you had a good rest last night!" Early in the morning, Zhao Ta went to a courtyard in the back mountain to ask his mother for peace, the furnishings in the house were extremely simple, only a plate of clay kang, a square table, a few pestles, nothing else, the bedding on the kang was new, the red quilt was dazzling, it may be that in a hurry, I don't know who is going to marry the daughter-in-law's bedding to move.

"Tatar, get up!" Zheng Hongmei hurriedly ordered the people around her to help Zhao Ta up and let him sit down next to him and said, "This place is a hundred times stronger than in the golden camp, and my heart is much more steady, and I sleep well!" ”

"It's the child who is unfilial, and the queen mother suffers!" Zhao Ta said with a sigh.

"This is the number of days, I can't complain about you, and my mother is relieved to see that you are doing well!" Zheng Hongmei took her son's hand and said with a smile, her eyes full of love and satisfaction.

"Ta'er has worried her mother!" Zhao Ta's nose was sour, and the first thing she thought of after her mother escaped was herself.

"It really made me heartbroken when I heard that you had passed away that day, but you refused to give me a message, which made me sad for so long!" Zheng Hongmei's eyes did not leave her son, and she said angrily.

"At that time, the royal brother almost wanted to restrain me to death, how dare my son leak half a sentence, and he had to hide it from his mother, but it just made the queen mother worried!" Zhao Ta said with a wry smile.

"This is also a blessing in disguise, otherwise you will be trapped in the capital, and it will be good for you to escape from Lu first!" Zheng Hongmei frowned, thinking that she also blamed Zhao Huan for persecuting her brother so much, but it was gone in a blink of an eye. didn't say half a complaining word, "Tatar, you leave the capital." Where have you gone in the past two years, and where have you come with so many soldiers and horses? ”

"The Queen Mother. After I left that year, I went to the northwest, gathered the old department to Datong and laid a piece of land there, I wanted to wait for the stability of the mother to enjoy the blessings, but I did not expect the Jin army to go south to the capital and fall, I learned the news when I was fighting with the Tatars who had invaded the territory, so I hurriedly brought the army to help, and went to Zhongshan only to learn that my father and mother were captured by the Jin army, and I could only try to rescue them halfway. Who knew that there was a change, but he still failed to save his father! Zhao Ta briefly introduced the situation and said with a sigh.

"Tatar, you must have suffered a lot over the years when you fought in all directions, and it was your mother who failed to protect you!" Thinking that as the queen mother, she couldn't shelter her son, and let him fight to death outside, living a life of licking blood with a knife, I felt sad. Tears could not help but fall.

"Don't be sad after the mother, my son is not very good now, and now he is also the overlord of a place!" Zhao Ta wiped away her tears and comforted her mother.

"Hehe, my second brother has grown up. It's time to open up a country! Zheng Hongmei smiled when she heard this, and she couldn't reach out to touch her son's head, "Have you received the edict from your father?" She asked again.

"Got it. I only learned from Master Cao that the Empress Lu Dao was imprisoned in Zhaozhou! Zhao replied.

"Well, that's good. How are you going to get down? Zheng Hongmei asked.

"Hehe, things are complicated right now. Zhang Bangchang has abdicated, to the first emperor Meng Hou to listen to the government, first to issue an edict to announce the world, let King Kang inherit the unification, Zhang Bangchang led the ministers also on the persuasion table, returned the Great Song Dynasty jade seal, what else can I do? Zhao Tan smiled bitterly.

"Hmm!" Zheng Hongmei nodded, at this time, someone brought breakfast, there were thousands of mouths in the cottage, and the food was naturally not much better, but the queen mother naturally ate a small stove, and it was just a bowl of porridge, two scones, and a few side dishes, but it was much better than in Jinying, at least she could eat enough!

Seeing that someone was coming, Zheng Hongmei didn't ask again, but just left Zhao Ta to eat together, but she had a plan in her heart, and when the meal was over, Zheng Hongmei sent everyone in the house out, leaving Zhao Ta alone to speak.

"Tatar, what's the situation in Bianjing now?" Zheng Hongmei asked.

"At that time, in order to save Bianjing, I divided the troops into two ways to help, all the way to Luoyang, Xijing, they repelled the Yan Wushu Department, and arrived in Bianjing after capturing Luoyang, but Zhang Bangchang refused to sacrifice the city, and the sons ordered people to besiege the city, after receiving the edict of the emperor, Meng Hou ordered people to open the city to be able to enter Bianjing, and now the situation has stabilized!" Zhao Ta said, "Now that Han Li does not know that Zhaozhou has been attacked, he has mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress Wuma Mountain, and the war is about to break out, and Erchen plans to take advantage of his failure to complete the siege to send his mother back to Bianjing, where Zong Ze has rearranged the defense line along the Yellow River, which is safer than here." ”

"Oh, so Ta'er has already taken control of Bianjing?" Zheng Hongmei said with a little surprise.

"Yes, now the righteous armies in Hezhong, Henan, Hebei, and Hedong are all under the orders of their sons, and Henan is basically recovered!" Zhao said.

"Have you contacted King Kang?" Zheng Hongmei didn't expect her son to be so powerful, and she had almost controlled the entire Central Plains, but she didn't know what her son thought, so she asked quietly.

"After I received my father's edict, I ordered Cao Xun to go to King Kang in Jeju with the token, but I received a reply from King Kang a few days ago, but I didn't mention Cao Xun's matter, I didn't think I saw him, but I was named the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the envoy of Yanjing Xuanfu!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"Hmph, shameless child, with soldiers and horses in his hands, he refused to send a soldier to King Qin of Bianjing, and he refused to send troops to rescue him when he learned that the second emperor was going north, but he avoided Shandong, and now he wants to pick up a bargain!" Zheng Hongmei snorted coldly, she had already guessed that Zhao Gou was unwilling to obey the edict, not because he hadn't seen Cao Xun, but because he saw Cao Xun that he was eager to show his attitude, "Ta'er, are you ready to obey King Kang's orders?" ”

"Queen Mother, what can you do, brothers killing each other, it's a great evil in ancient and modern times! He named me as the Yanjing Xuanfu envoy, and it was also occupied by the Jin people, which meant to force me to go, and the big deal was that I rescued my father and queen and turned back to Datong, I don't want to do things that are happy for relatives and enemies! Zhao Ta knew that the meat was coming, and his words had aroused his mother's licking feelings, so he pretended to be miserable.

"Ta'er, do you know the story of Yao Shunyu's succession?" Zheng Hongmei saw her son say this, and Zhilu said that his attitude was not to express his position, and his son was still hesitating, taking care of brotherhood and leisurely public opinion, and wanted to wait for King Kang to launch first. In order to win moral support, Zheng Hongmei, who has experienced the battle in the palace, knows the truth of Lu Dao's preemptive strike and then the rest of the people. Once King Kang preempts the throne, things will be even more complicated. If you want to turn the tables, it is even more difficult.

"Is it the story of the three sages Chan Rang, this story has already been heard!" Zhao said.

"That's just a story from a book, today I'm telling a story outside the book, would you like to hear it?" Zheng Hongmei said.

"Of course, the child has not listened to his mother's teachings for many years!" Zhao replied respectfully.

"There is such a record in the "Historical Records": After Shun ascended the throne of God, the courtiers were adjusted..."Zheng Hongmei nodded and told her son the story.

After Shun got Yao's succession, he was still alive and still had a great say in the court. In order to consolidate his position, Shun used the "Eight Kai" and "Eight Yuan", which had been excluded from the center of power for a long time during Yao's reign. In history, it is called 'lifting sixteen phases'. But its real intention is obviously to support cronies.

At the same time, Shun got rid of Yao's reuse and trust, Gonggong, Sanmiao, and Donkey, which was called 'Go to the Four Murderers' in history. The ugly nicknames and different charges that Shun gave to the four murderers are actually very clear, and their crimes are not worth mentioning, but just an excuse for Shun to exclude dissidents.

After the personnel rearrangement, Yao, who has been hollowed out, can imagine the outcome. He thought that he could enjoy his life in peace after abdicating the throne, because he was Shun's father-in-law after all. But when he handed over power. Shun did not spare him, but banished him to Yaocheng and imprisoned, cut off from all his sons, and died there. Afterward. Shun also exiled Yao's son to Danshui.

Therefore, it is better to say that everyone supported Shun's accession to the throne at that time, but it is better to say that Shun directly seized power from Yao's people. There is no such thing as Zen Rang. If the usurpation is established, Yao will be the first emperor in Chinese history to die in murder. And it has been wronged for eternity.

Therefore, "Han Feizi? There is such an exclamation in the article "Doubt": "The so-called holy kings and kings of ancient times are just constructing party henchmen. The Gathering Lane clan forced the king to kill the monarch in order to seek its benefits. Zheng Hongmei said, "Someone asked the reason, Han Feizi said: Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun, Tang Fangji, and King Wu killed the king!" ”

"Alas, a forced word is enough to tell the truth about Yao Shun Chan, and the Holy Ming Monarch can't escape this!" Zhao Ta said with emotion, but laughed at his mother in his heart that he was teaching himself the way to be a king, but what he was talking about was forming a gang and murdering the monarch, obviously instigating himself to 'commit a crime'!

"Heavenly reincarnation, Shun's result is much worse than Yao's. In his later years, Shun also learned to Yao to cede the power to Yu, and then set off for the southern tour, when he was nearly 100 years old, and died in the wilderness of the wilderness, buried in Jiuzhi Mountain. His wife Empress E and Nuying chased to Hunan after learning the news, and the two sisters did not want to live in this world, so they committed suicide by throwing themselves into Hunan one after another. ”

"Shun's ending looks the same as Yao's, but it can't stand scrutiny. Just imagine, thousands of years ago, Cangwu was a sparsely populated and wild place, and Shun, who handed over power, really had no reason to tour south. And Shun is in Pusaka, thousands of miles away from Cangwu, and it takes several years to go back and forth, and even if there is a fear for a hundred-year-old person, it is not enough. Therefore, there is only one explanation..."

"He can't help himself and has to go!" Zhao Ta said, he was also stunned, is this the truth of Yao Shun Chan Rang that has been passed down through the ages?

"Ta'er, now is the time when the country is in danger, if there can be a person like you, will the Jin people dare to bully us? Now is the time to try to prosper and make great contributions, why are you willing to give up? Zheng Hongmei said.

"Thank you for the teachings of the queen mother, my son understands that the righteousness of the country is more important than the name!" Zhao Ta hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Well, you will arrange for someone to send me back to Bianjing for refuge tomorrow!" Zheng Hongmei nodded with satisfaction and said, she understands that it is also very important to be a 'false name' as an emperor, so let herself, a mother, pave a way for her son to become a benevolent monarch!

"Yes, Erchen will arrange it!" Zhao Ta replied, but there was some self-blame in his heart, he still saw Zheng Hongmei's determination, and he seemed to be using her love to fight against his enemies, isn't it despicable!

………

When he learned that Empress Dowager Zheng and many clans and ministers were in Zhaozhou and were returning to Bianjing, Zhang Bangchang, who was grounded in the palace, was sitting on pins and needles and was in a panic.

After the withdrawal of the Jin army, Zhang Bangchang was like a lost dog, he knew that the Jin people were unreliable, and he also had the heart to make a gesture of not forgetting the old dynasty. The jade seal of the Great Song Dynasty was sent to Zhao Gou, urging King Kang to ascend the throne as soon as possible. At the same time, in the alley in front of Xiangguo Temple, he miraculously found the deposed Empress Meng when Zhezong, welcomed him into the palace, and took the honorific title of Empress Yuanyou.

According to ordinary people, his main job is to work for Jin Bing, but from Song's point of view, it is completely good to say that he is a traitor. Therefore, no matter whether he actually wants to be this puppet emperor or not, even if he writes "Chen Bangchang is respectfully sealed" with a note of paper, sticking the palace door and dragon chair, crying and asking for death, whether it is sincere or pretentious, he has committed a big crime!

This is disobedience, and in ancient times, it was a great sin to rob the family and destroy the nine clans. Even if the Zhao and Song dynasties did have an ancestral family law of not killing ministers, this crime could not avoid death, and it was enough to chop off. And he greeted King Kang just to get away with it, but King Kang didn't arrive, King Qin's soldiers arrived first, and now that the Queen Mother is back, can she spare herself... (To be continued......)
