Guangzong was abolished
Zhao Ruyu, as a member of the Zhao Song clan, was not qualified to enter the Eastern and Western Prefectures according to the regulations. But this person's resume shows that it is really unfair not to let him in!
This person has always had great ambitions, when he was a teenager, he once said that "the big husband left a piece of paper, and he never lived up to this life", and he was 26 years old when he was the first champion of high school jinshi. After entering the officialdom, he was first promoted all the way in the civil official system, served as a servant in the ministry, and then transferred to a military position, served as the commander of the Fujian army, and then entered Sichuan to quell the Qiang riots... It can be called a civil and military all-rounder!
Zhao Ruyu knows the affairs of the Privy Council, and no one is dissatisfied! At this time, Liu was running away, and the ministers gathered around him, saying everything. He always remained calm and did not say anything until Zhao Yanyu came to him...
Zhao Yanyu came to bid him farewell. Whether the emperor comes forward or not, the emperor has to be buried. According to the ceremony, the prime minister should have served as the envoy of the mountain, but he did not know where to go, so he had to be replaced by someone else. Zhao Yanyu was selected as the head of the department in charge of national construction projects! Before leaving, he decided to talk to Zhao Ruyu about his heart, and he also decided that Zhao Ruyu would definitely have a heart-to-heart with him... Because they are all surnamed Zhao, they are all from the Zhao and Song clans!
The same thing is not the same in the eyes of different people. The word "retirement" can drive Liuzheng crazy, but in Zhao Yanyu's eyes, what he sees is an opportunity!
He asked Zhao Ruyu, "Lord Privy Council, His Majesty wrote these eight words, obviously because he was tired of being the emperor, so why didn't he do as he wished?" You want to achieve a career, and leave a great name in history, now is the opportunity" Zhao Ruyu suddenly became excited, he said that a few days ago he had a dream, dreaming that the newly deceased Emperor Xiaozong gave him Tang Ding, he carried a white dragon on his back, and flew into the sky...
Is it destined that this great thing will be completed by him?
The imperial prince Zhao Ruyu decided to launch a coup d'état in his fierce ambition! After the excitement, I found that I didn't know what to do! Because to do this, they must have the support of the Empress Dowager Wu in her name to confer the throne on Zhao Kuo, the Prince of Jia! Even if it is still procedurally illegal, it is still reasonable...
At least something like Song Shi is also very similar. Such as the Northern Song Dynasty's strong "female Zhong Yao Shun" Empress Dowager Gao. But if you really want to implement it, there is a huge, almost insurmountable gap in front of Zhao Ruyu!
It is true that he is a royal relative, but the palace is not a courtyard, this house is too big, and no matter how close the relatives are, they don't want to walk in casually. So how do you contact the Empress Dowager Wu? What about convincing her to agree to this? This is something that people with the surname Zhao can't do!
The royal family is powerless, and the relatives are on the field! A person who can do this, who will dominate the future history, has finally stepped onto the stage of history: Han Yanxuan! The fifth grandson of Han Qi, the famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. has a prominent background, but he is very quiet at this time, and his resume shows that he has no light. It was entirely by the grace of the ancestors that he became a magistrate...
The official explanation of this official position is "when the emperor is in charge of the court meeting and feasting, praise the etiquette", to put it bluntly, that is, when the official comes to meet the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the etiquette when they meet, the ceremony when they say goodbye, and the behavior when they eat and drink, are all guided and corrected by this official. Acting as a usher, if necessary, to bring participants to the designated place...
Royal waiter only! It can be seen that the gentleman's Ze was cut in the fifth generation. Even if it was Han Qi, his fifth grandson was mixed up to the level of a waiter. So I ask you: how could such a person be involved in a palace coup and play a key role? The answer is simple! The family members of the waiter Han are amazing! Her mother is the sister of the Empress Dowager Wu. His wife is Wu's own niece... This person can easily and intimately meet and chat with the Empress Dowager Wu!
So Emperor Zhao found Han Qi, and the contact between the two sides was very successful, and Han Qi agreed to join the coup team. On the Empress Dowager Wu's side, he was in charge. Emperor Zhao turned to agitate for the next target - the forbidden army!
Since ancient times, palace coups have had to seize the military power of the forbidden army! Not with that. It's nonsense! At this time, the palace marshal of the forbidden army of the Southern Song Dynasty court was named Guo Gao, and he didn't want to get involved, but he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and Zhao Yanyu took some time to find him before leaving. The two flipped through the account book, and Guo Gao nodded... The Praetorian Army Joins!
After that, they waited for the news of the original Chonghua Palace and the current Cifu Palace. Can Han Yanxuan be able to motivate this old lady who has been in danger for a long time and has seen extraordinary? The success or failure of the whole thing will ultimately be decided!
At this time, no one had confidence in Han Qi, he wanted an official position without an official position, and he wanted qualifications without qualifications. With such a hard backstage in his eyes, he has only been mixed into a senior waiter for so many years, so that elites such as Zhao Ruyu and others can look at him with which eyes?
A few days later, it was done! Everything is ready, the east wind is blowing, and the coup can basically be declared a success! Zhao Ruyu began to equip the edict, take care of the imperial seal, and formulate the detailed steps of the coup!
They didn't pay attention to Han Qi, and they didn't care too much about the specific process of Han Qi persuading Mrs. Wu, otherwise they would have taken a deep look at Han Yanxuan and then rebelled!
Han Yanxuan did not come forward in person, but encouraged two acquaintances in the palace, Zhang Zongyin and Guan Li, and asked them to carry out the persuasion action. He himself hid far outside the court, so that success naturally had his advantages, and failure... He didn't personally participate! With his backstage, who can give him the consequences to eat?
July 5, 1194, this day is called "Tsuyo Matsuri" in the royal funeral rites, and it is the day when the mourning clothes are removed. All the upper echelons of the Southern Song Dynasty had to go to the coffin of the Daxing Emperor Song Xiaozong Zhao Tuan to say their final goodbyes to him...
The day's transition was very short, and the procedure was presided over by Zhao Ruyu, a member of the Privy Council, who stood in front of the coffin of the first emperor and stated various things in the past to the Empress Dowager Wu, who was sitting behind the curtain, and asked Wu to decide...
For example, the emperor is sick and has not been able to mourn so far, let alone go to court. He also personally approved the canonization of the crown prince, as well as those eight words. The Queen Mother, what should I do now?
Empress Dowager Wu replied that "the emperor has a royal pen, and the prince should pursue it" in a few sentences of questions and answers, which crossed the Song Guangzong Zhao Dian and transferred the Southern Song Dynasty imperial power to his son, Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo. So far, among the four generations of emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, they have meditated three times! (To be continued......)
