Chapter 137: The Road to Beijing (3)

"Brother wall, don't die, don't want family affection for the throne" Zhao Ta said with a wry smile after listening to He Qufei's narration. (Read and see the novel network update our speed first)

"Lord Wang, this time back to Beijing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to stay out of the matter, and you have to make plans early" He Qufei persuaded again.

"Alas, the trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop, I have repeatedly avoided them and let them not forgive, regardless of brotherly love, I still want to know that I am to die, do I have to draw a knife and kill people?" Zhao Ta looked at Arazuka and sighed.

"Lord, don't take this step until the moment of life and death, think about how wise and martial Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was back then, and it was difficult to escape the stroke of killing his brother and killing his brother in the history books, so that future generations would criticize him" He Qufei hurriedly persuaded them, they literati like to leave a name in history.

"He Yixi, people are harmless, tigers are hurtful, do you know the 'candle shadow axe' in the three major mystery cases of this dynasty" Huang Jingchen waved his hand and asked the guard to withdraw twenty steps away.

"But is it about Taizong and Taizu? Back then, it was not Taizu who left Jin Kui's "Oath", and it was to be passed on to Taizong, and the matter of chasing the wind and catching shadows was not credible.

"Do you know the details of King Cai's death a few years ago?" Huang Jingchen said in a low voice.

"King Cai is rumored to have died of madness, is there still an inside story about this matter" He Qufei was only a foreign official of the eighth grade at that time, and he only heard about the secrets in the palace.

"This matter has to start from the time when Emperor Zhezong was funeral..."At this time, Zhao Tazhi and the two senior counselors disagreed, and it was Huang Jingchen's turn to tell stories and educate him.

King Cai is Zhezong's half-brother King Jian, after Zhezong's ascension to heaven, Prime Minister Zhang Dian once tried his best to advocate making him the king, King Jian was seventeen years old, handsome, intellectual, hobby of scriptures, support the new law, words and deeds, courtesy and humble corporal, is a suitable candidate for the Son of Heaven, King Jian also has a unique good condition - and the emperor is the same brother, brother to brother, Taizu and Taizong are examples. But the Queen Mother couldn't look down on him, so on the grounds that the elders and young were orderly, she wanted to establish Duan Wang Zhao Ji, several princes of Shenzong, Shen Wang Tong was the oldest, but he had eye disease and couldn't do anything, followed by Duan Wang Ji. Later, with the help of Zeng Bu and other ruling ministers, Zhao Ji ascended to the throne.

Although King Jian was subsequently promoted to Situ and Taibao by Zhao Ji, the throne was only one step away from him, and he was inevitably depressed in his heart, and complained to others in private that the throne was originally his, and it was the Empress Dowager Xiang who favored King Duan, violated the edict of the Empress Dowager Du, and passed the throne to Zhao Ji. (Remember: Novel.com.) After a long time, he got into the horns, and felt more and more that he was wronged, became paranoid, and became mentally ill. His crazy words were detected by the Imperial City Division, and he secretly told the emperor, saying that the prince's condition was getting worse and worse, and there were more rebellious remarks: insulting the emperor for usurping the throne, appointing traitorous ministers, and having an affair with the Empress Dowager Chongen, etc.

"The emperor was furious when he received the report, and at this time it coincided with the appearance of Taibai stars in the sky during the day, and he said to Yang Jian: 'The stars change to warn, Taibai and the sun compete for glory, King Cai has always wanted to establish himself as a king, and the heart of rebellion is clearly revealed', late that night, King Cai was 'sick'" Huang Jingchen said with a sneer.

"Could it be that the emperor renamed King Cai as the king of Chu and gave it to the Taishi, Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling, all of which are to hide people's eyes?" He Qufei said in surprise after hearing this, he knew that Huang Jingchen would not coax him with these at this time, Huang Jingchen just nodded slightly, and did not say anything.

"You two have one opinion each, so what should I do? Do you become the prince and kill all the brothers who compete with me, or do you not want the prince and let them kill me? Zhao Ta looked at He Qufei and then at Huang Jingchen and asked with a wry smile.

"Hehe, this idea has to be taken by the prince himself, we can't say much" He Qufei said with a smile.

"My father is in the prime of life, this prince is in name only, I don't know when I will have to wait until I am from the government, but I have to be careful in everything to set an example, and I want to be elbowed everywhere, but it is better to do things freely now, once the time is ripe, I don't know who the position is" Zhao Ta said with a 'naughty' wink.

"Oh, then the prince has no intention of being the crown prince now," He Qufei said, "That's fine, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight"

"No, if I quit, there will be only two left, King Ding and King Jia, which of them is the most beneficial to us to become the prince, we will support him" Zhao Ta said, he didn't want to be a wall-riding faction, so it would not please both sides.

"Well, it makes sense, although there are many heirs in the saint now, but the only ones who can have the power to enter the East Palace are King Ding, King Jia and Wang Ye, among these three factions, we have the weakest power in the court, followed by King Ding, King Jia's strength is the strongest, but his lack of reputation is the biggest weakness" Huang Jingchen analyzed the current situation and said, "King Ding is the eldest son, and the position of the crown prince is justifiable, and he is loyal, but he is a good partner for cooperation." ”,

"Okay, after the prince returns to Beijing, he will take the initiative to withdraw from the battle for succession, and he will definitely be supported by the scholars, and those righteous people with a clear conscience will definitely vote for the prince," He Qufei said with a high-five.

"**, the two of you have a pot of urine now, what is the king of loyalty, loyalty is sometimes synonymous with cowardice, but it sounds good, they mean that the king will be easy to control in the future, and it will be easier to replace it in the future, and you can still gain fame and fortune" Zhao Tan sneered, but their ideas coincided with their goals, and he nodded yes.

The two old foxes made a new five-year plan in front of Cao Zhi's tomb, and if Cao Zijian could hear it, he would definitely jump out of anger, he was calculated by his eldest brother like this back then. Seeing the sunset, the three of them returned happily and went straight to the post house.

……

The post station originally had both the functions of official travel (official hotel) and "postal communication" (transmission of official and private documents), and since the beginning of the fifth generation, the "postal communication" was delivered by the "delivery man" full-time, and then another "delivery shop" was set up to undertake the "postal transmission". Post stations are usually set up every forty miles or so, and there are also fifty or sixty miles, or even seventy miles to set up a post station, and the distance between the two post stations is called a post journey, a post or a journey. Post stations are built with pavilions, and all prefectures, prefectures, and county towns have post stations, and post houses in rural areas are usually located in towns and cities, and post houses in prefectures, prefectures, and county towns are usually called post houses. All officials who go to their posts or leave their posts and officials and soldiers who go out, as well as those who escort officers and soldiers on land, are to stay with "post tickets".

Yongqiu is a county, the post house is set up in the northeast corner of the county, the high wall encircles a large courtyard, from the outside it looks like a large family's house, Zhao Ta and their group have more than one person, occupying the largest courtyard in the courtyard. When they returned, Jianxi had already taken care of everything, first arranged for the prince to take a bath, and then prepared to eat.

The post house also provides food, but does not provide horse feed, people enjoy different treatment according to the grade, Zhao Ta and they are for safety, the food is their own, cooked by their own cook, much stronger than the crude food provided by the post house, of course the post house will not interfere, the silver saved will only cheapen them.

"My lord, could you please change the place?" As soon as the bowl was picked up here, Yi Cheng ran in and said.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Zhong stopped him and asked.

"My lord, the officials and soldiers of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Yingfeng Bureau came to stay, there are many of them, and they want to occupy this courtyard" Yi Cheng is just a petty official who does not enter the stream, and he has to call him an adult when he sees anyone, and Zhao Zhong is also a military envoy from the ninth grade, and he can also be called an adult.

"There are many of them, and there are many of us, all of whom are officials of the Great Song Dynasty, so we can't live where they live?" Zhao Zhong snorted coldly.

"My lord, the official is Zhu Ruzhou, the nephew of Zhu Observer, who escorted the tribute into Beijing, and asked the adults to forgive the little ones," Yi Cheng said.

"You tell him, we won't let him, there's nothing to do to let him stay away from here" Yi Cheng is also kind, he wants Zhao Zhong to know the power of Lu Dao and retreat, but Zhao Zhong doesn't know what this Zhu Observation Envoy of Lu Dao is.

"You... Okay, you're in trouble" Yi Cheng was choked by Zhao Zhong and rolled his eyes, and he kindly persuaded him, but he didn't expect such a result, then Zhu observed that Zhu Mian didn't know anyone, this little officer actually didn't take him in his eyes, wasn't that looking for death?

"Who has such a big breath, dare not put Zhu Observer in his eyes, Zhu Observer is the most favored minister of the Holy Lord, and disrespecting him is disrespecting the Holy Lord" At this moment, a delicate-faced and short boy walked in, followed by a group of soldiers, he slapped Yi Cheng on the head and said.

"Who is your lordship? What is the business business" Seeing that there was a conflict here, Jianxi hurriedly came over and asked.

"Our lord is the nephew of Zhu Mian Zhu Observation Envoy of the Zhijiang and Zhejiang Ying Feng Bureau, and the martial arts doctor Zhu Ruzhou Zhu, the commander of the Suzhou Prefecture Army, escorted the tribute into Beijing, and those who know each other hurry up to get out of the place, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around," a small school stood up and said arrogantly.

"Since you also eat official meals, don't you know the rules of the inn?" Seeing that there was a prince behind him, and this prince almost slaughtered Cai You, and he was afraid that it was a dog of Cai Jing's family, so he pointed at the martial arts doctor and yelled.

According to the regulations on the management of post houses, generally those who arrive first move in, and the low-level officials let the high-ranking officials who arrive later, especially the high-ranking officials with subordinate relationships; If the post house is insufficient, it will be self-occupied. The Song Dynasty also stipulated that "if the family of the official and the person who has not entered the official is a captain, although he does not ask for a coupon, he will listen to it" to live. The conditions for staying in the inns have been relaxed, but if officials move in, they will be evacuated.

"What bullshit rules, the rules of our Zhu family are the king's law" Zhu Ruzhou was angry, jumped to his feet and shouted, that Zhu Mian won the emperor's favor with Huashi Gang, from a market ordinary man, suddenly rose to a feudal official, the villain is ambitious, extremely rampant, he pointed at the state and county officials, just like a servant slave, the southeast area of the assassin Shi County guard more out of his door, it can be said that one person has ascended to heaven, and his family has also become arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in his eyes.

"You repeat what you just said," at this time, a young man came over with a rice bowl, pointed Zhu Ruzhou's nose with chopsticks and said with a smile.
