Everyone knows that the rumors about the emperor's abdication originated in the palace, which often involves the secrets of the royal family. But when it comes to whether it's true or not, they think it's possible, but it's very unlikely. Because although the emperor often complained that he had become a high-ranking 'prisoner', it was better to be free than a happy country man, but he never really abandoned the crown, and after a long time, everyone did not take it seriously.

Moreover, how many people coveted the high throne, and countless people wanted to sit on it and try it even if they didn't want to die, and no one would give it up easily. Although there have been emperors in history who do not love the country and love the beauty, and abandon the country to be a monk, but there is no precedent in the Great Song Dynasty.

This person on the throne, although everyone thinks that his words and deeds are rude and perverse, but his merits cannot be denied, it can be said that he saved the Great Song Dynasty in danger, led the Great Song Dynasty to achieve Zhongxing, and rose again in the world. Now the country is rich, the politics are clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, all countries come to the dynasty, and the cultural and martial arts are enough to compare with the founding Taizu, who can be called a Ming monarch.

And everyone is a little selfish, what are they reading poetry and books for ten years? I just want to be able to become an official one day and assist the king to show his ambitions. It's a pity that there are not many opportunities for this kind of opportunity, especially for these people in the palace, many of them have been suppressed and degraded by the faint monarchs and ministers, and now they finally met a 'knowledgeable' Bole, who was able to become a ruler and benefit the people.

In addition, there is an old saying that 'a gentleman is a courtier'. These people are the emperor's right-hand men and confidants. To put it mildly, in the eyes of outsiders, they and the emperor wear a trouser leg and a nose and eyes. If someone else becomes the emperor. No matter how kind-hearted and loving they are, they will not trust them, and it will be difficult to continue to retain them. When you meet a small-minded person, you can only ask for more blessings.

Now that the emperor is so good, but because of some trivial things, how can everyone agree, the reaction is naturally intense, especially Chen Dong's violent temper, dead eyes, and he is about to die when he says it......

"Stop him!" Seeing that blood was about to be splashed in the court, Zhao Ta was also taken aback. This childish is too big, if you say die, you will die, he shouted out of his seat. Fortunately, Zhao Ren was agile and grabbed Chen Dong, but it was a little too late, Chen Dong's head still made intimate contact with the pillar, and the skin and flesh of the touch were open, and the blood was dripping, but fortunately, there was no brain burst, and he died on the spot.

"Immediately invite the Imperial Doctor into the temple!" Chen Dong was still tossing and wanting to die. Several small yellow doors rushed up and held it down, Zhao Ta grabbed two steps forward to check, with his experience, it was just some skin trauma, and it was not a big deal. It's just that the blood is scary, and he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to ask for a doctor.

Chen Dong didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and shouted at the emperor to promise not to abdicate before he was willing to accept treatment. Otherwise, I'd rather die. Zhao Ta couldn't say a few words of comfort, and vaguely agreed. Only then did the doctor stop the bleeding and apply medicine. was helped down by the little yellow door to rest. But after Chen Dong tossed it like this, the following matters could no longer be discussed, Zhao Ta waved his hand and dispersed, leaving Xu Jingheng, the left minister, and Zhao Ren, the privy envoy, to the study to discuss matters.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to give way?" Entering the study room of the side hall, the emperor retreated left and right, leaving only Wangfu to serve on the side, Zhao Ren saw that they were all acquaintances who were not afraid of someone leaking it, and he had less scruples, he asked eagerly, the emperor's words just now surprised him a lot.

"Now that someone is making a big public opinion that I want to give way, the world knows that if I don't let me, I won't become a villain who goes back on my word, and how can I be the king and rule the subjects of the world!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"This ...... But is this really what His Majesty said? Zhao Ren was stunned when he heard this, the emperor spoke in a golden mouth, a mouthful of spit and a nail, now it doesn't count, at least it is immoral, and at worst it is to tease the world.

"Hehe, what do you think?" Zhao Ta smiled bitterly.

"The minister thought that it wouldn't, His Majesty knew the King of Liao very well, and even if he wanted to retreat bravely, he would not give way to him!" Xu Jingheng shook his head and smiled, "The King of Liao is strong on the outside, and he is bold when he is proud, and he doesn't know self-control; After failure, he is timid as a mouse and cringes away. Moreover, his nature is fickle, and he has no room for people, and the courtiers will reprimand and belittle him when he is not satisfied, so that the court will be chaotic and the villain will be in charge. When he succeeded to the throne, the situation was much better than when His Majesty succeeded him, but he was unable to turn the tide and became the king of the country, so it was obvious that he could not be the lord of a country! ”

"Well, Xu Xiang is discerning, although I am not talented, I can't do such a ridiculous thing and let the people of the Great Song Dynasty fall into fire and water again!" Zhao Ta nodded approvingly, it seems that Xu Jingheng had already guessed eight or nine points, and talking to smart people is labor-saving.

"Your Majesty is reluctant, but the minister is just guessing!" Xu Jingheng hurriedly saluted.

"The current situation is pressing, it doesn't matter whether it is my intention to give way or not, now I can only give way!" Zhao Ta said.

"Alas, it's still Your Majesty's skills are superior, and the minister can't break the situation after thinking hard for many days, and it's difficult to do both, and today His Majesty woke up Weichen with a word!" Xu Jingheng sighed and said.

As the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty who is above 10,000 people, how could Xu Jingheng be indifferent to such a big thing happening in the country, he had already made a secret visit at the beginning of the incident, and according to the information obtained and his own analysis, he had a more comprehensive understanding of the matter, and understood that some of them were using this to add fuel to the fire. But the conspiracy to hold on to the throne and thwart the enemy's plot without damaging the emperor's reputation was tricky to deal with, and it was never possible to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Your Majesty's giving way is false, but in fact, it is unprepared to attack it by retreating, which can not only reorganize the dynasty, but also do not damage Your Majesty's Shengming!" Zhao Ren was not a stupid person, and he quickly understood the deep meaning of the emperor's abdication.

Now that the emperor has completely controlled the government after more than ten years of operation, not to mention the army, almost all of them are his people, and the foundation can be described as rock-solid, which cannot be easily shaken by others; And when the King of Liao was in power, he did not have a good reputation, let alone accumulate any contacts, he changed several prime ministers alone, and the courtiers he promoted died and were degraded, or they were accepted by the emperor for his own use. Zhao Huan even made a lot of trouble between father and son because he wanted to keep his power, imprisoned the emperor, and was also mean to his brothers, sending them to the tiger's mouth one by one, so that he could not get support from the clansmen.

Even if the emperor gives way to Zhao Huan now, he can't and doesn't dare to take this baton without the support of the clan and courtiers, all he can do is to excuse himself in order to protect himself, otherwise the end will be worse than in the Five Kingdoms City. And the emperor will not only keep the throne because of this 'righteous act', but also crush the conspiracy of the unscrupulous people, and also put an end to the thoughts of those who are undead with thieves' hearts. It's just that this method can't be put on the table, but it is also the emperor's consistent style.

"Isn't it too degrading for me to do this, it's disgraceful!" Zhao Ta's rare old face blushed and sneered, his hypocritical performance made all his face. It's a little, no, it's just that you've made yourself popular and entertained the public, and it's really not a gentleman's doing.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to blame yourself, you should do special things at special times, and you should use some means!" Xu Jingheng looked at the cute majesty and said, but he didn't forget to warn himself that he must not learn from the emperor, otherwise he would have to be brought to the bottom and make trouble for a long time; And for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of the people, and for the sake of themselves, this matter must not be leaked a word, and let it rot in the stomach.

Sun Tzu said: The soldiers are treacherous. This can also be regarded as a war, and it is understandable that His Majesty will use some tricks to fight with the enemy, and it will never damage His Majesty's prestige! Zhao Ren also hurriedly comforted His Majesty, although he knew that it was completely unnecessary. He 'watched' the emperor grow up, if the emperor is as well-behaved as a saint, and doesn't play with his heart and eyes, and plays conspiracy, let alone being an emperor, I'm afraid he won't be able to find the bones.

"Alas, although there is a last resort, it can be ......" Zhao Ta sighed and said, he did this because he didn't want to deal with this internal contradiction with bloodshed, so he could only bear the reputation of wanting what and that.

"Your Majesty, now the public opinion is raging, requiring Your Majesty not to abdicate, the ministers think that the people's will can be used, but once the radical behavior occurs, it is likely to cause big trouble, and necessary measures need to be taken!" Xu Jingheng now understands the emperor's true intentions, of course, he can't use force against those public opinion representatives who support the emperor, but it can't be ruled out that the fanatics among them will use extreme measures, such as killing the king of Liao, even if it is not the emperor's idea, the account must be counted on the emperor.

"Well, I've summoned you to formally discuss the matter!" Zhao Ta said, "Prime Minister Xu, while identifying the mastermind behind the scenes, you must warn the DPRK and local officials not to intervene in it, and to maintain local order. It is necessary for the Guozijian to restrain the words and deeds of the students, and it is okay to demonstrate peacefully, and not to use excessive means to avoid being used by people with intentions. ”

"The minister understands!" Xu Jingheng understood as soon as he heard it, the emperor meant to prohibit official intervention, but he couldn't help but put pressure on the king of Liao, so as not to be truthful.

"Zhao Ren, you have to work with the Ministry of War to strengthen the control of the forbidden army and the state army, there must be no problems, in order to ensure the safety of the King of Liao, I decided to transfer the first part of the guard army to Dengzhou to escort them, and let them take the waterway into Beijing, so that it is convenient to protect, and you can't arrange it a little bad." Zhao Ta said again.

"The minister understands, please rest assured!" Zhao Ren said.

"Xu Xiang, you can inform Li Xiang of what we are discussing today, and he will understand how to do it. In addition, there is one more thing to annoy! Zhao Ta thought about it and said.

"Your Majesty, despite your orders, the ministers will never give up!" Xu Jingheng hurriedly replied.

"Hehe, you know that my article is too bad, so please ask Xu Xiang to draft the abdication edict on your behalf!" Zhao Tan said with a smile...... (To be continued......)
