Chapter 431: Who Becomes Emperor?
Qin Hui kept persuading and wanted Song Huizong to be the emperor, but Song Huizong couldn't live or die.
To be a man, you must have self-knowledge, and self-knowledge is manifested in knowing how many pounds and taels you have.
Song Huizong knew that he was very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; But in governing the country, it is extremely rubbish, which is equivalent to Li Yu's second. After becoming an emperor, he can only harm others and himself.
Now in the Taoist temple, being a Taoist priest is comfortable, but if he is an emperor, maybe he will stage the shame of Jingkang again.
Even if he became an emperor, he was mostly reduced to a puppet emperor of some people.
After thinking about it, it's not worth it, it's not worth it.
After eight years in prison in the Jin Kingdom and eight years of snowstorms, Song Huizong also grew up, and the throne was in troubled waters, and he would not be contaminated if he was killed.
Qin Hui had no choice but to turn around and leave to persuade Song Qinzong.
In the Great Xiangguo Temple, Qin Hui met Song Qinzong, who was a novice.
"Zhao Pu is dead, your chance has come, Your Majesty!" Qin Hui bowed his head and bowed.
"I'm not the emperor!" Song Qinzong immediately refused, without a trace of hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the throne was originally yours, why don't you take it back!" Qin Hui persuaded and said, "At this moment, the first emperor was killed, only the emperor ascended the throne can calm the hearts of the people and make the society stable, please Your Majesty don't postpone it!" ”
Song Qinzong still said in a firm tone: "I am not the emperor!" ”
Qin Hui could only continue to persuade, but Song Qinzong did not agree. At first, Qin Hui thought that Song Qinzong was pretending to be humble, but after the temptation, he found that Song Qinzong really did not have the slightest desire to be contaminated with the throne.
"Your Majesty, you can tell Weichen. Why not reinstate the throne, this is a great opportunity? Qin Hui asked.
"The thirteenth brother was killed, and my Great Song Army was the most unstable. If I become the emperor at this moment, the soldiers suspect that I killed my thirteenth brother by poisoning. At that time, it was hard to speak, it was not me who was me. Will I still be alive then? ”
Song Qinzong said.
"There are many moments when man is impulsive; In many moments, murder does not require a reason, only suspicion is enough. ”
Song Qinzong is not the material to be an emperor. Otherwise, he would not have become the king of the dead country. It's just that he didn't succeed as an emperor, it doesn't mean that he is stupid and doesn't understand the stakes. I don't know right from wrong.
At this moment, the thirteenth brother was killed, and he took the opportunity to become the emperor, and the soldiers would be suspicious. It was he who made the shot. Want to reclaim the throne. At that time, he was on the opposite side of the whole army, and he would surely die at that time.
The so-called throne, recognized by the courtiers, is the throne; The soldiers recognized the throne.
Without recognition, the throne is just a chair.
Of course, there is another reason that has not been said, that is, he was the king of the dead country. almost let the Song Dynasty perish, and he was not fit to be an emperor. If you force yourself to be the emperor. Either become the puppet of some courtiers, or stage the shame of Jingkang again.
"Qing family, this is the thirteenth brother, left for you!"
At this time, Song Qinzong threw another trick.
Song Qinzong opened the bag and took out a piece of paper, only to see that it was written: "Don't hurt people anymore, my eldest brother is not the material to be the emperor!" ”
Qin Hui was a little gloomy, and only felt that everything was in someone's calculations.
Song Qinzong said: "I have many side branches of the Zhao family, and one of them can be selected as the emperor. In fact, the Qing family, don't worry too much, the thirteenth brother has a far-sighted strategy, and must have chosen the heir to the throne! ”
Qin Hui turned around and left, feeling that everything had been lost.
For a long time, Qin Hui himself has been clever in calculations and superb in his means. And this time, it is a great opportunity to put in front of him, as long as it is successful, he will be in power at that time, and he will be the uncrowned king of the Great Song Dynasty. It's a pity that he miscalculated, whether it was Song Huizong or Song Qinzong, they were both resolutely not emperors.
This made Qin Hui very disappointed.
Looking around the Zhao royal family, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong are the most qualified to be emperors, but these two people are hard-hearted and not emperors; As for the other princes, the prince has neither prestige nor reputation, and is incompetent, and it seems that he is not qualified to be an emperor.
And the other side branches, there are very few excellent people.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Hui found that there was no one who was suitable to be the emperor.
"Then who will be the emperor?"
Qin Hui wondered in his heart, one thought after another flashed quickly, but he had been looking for ideas for a long time, and he still didn't think of who was the most suitable.
"That's it, that's the only way to do it!"
Qin Hui was ruthless in his heart, and a vicious thought flashed.
……
At this time, the six ministers of the cabinet and the five ministers of the military department rushed to the palace one after another.
When I arrived at the palace, I found that everything was under martial law, and it seemed that a palace coup was about to take place.
At this time, the person in charge of receiving the ministers was Zhao Da, the head of the internal guard.
"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong?" The ministers asked.
Zhao Da said: "The emperor is poisoned and in danger, so please enter the palace!" ”
"Boom!"
Immediately, it was as if a twelve-magnitude earthquake had occurred, and the ministers present were suddenly thundered and felt that the sky had fallen.
"Damn!"
"How so!"
"How is the emperor?"
The ministers present immediately asked, no longer as calm as they had at the beginning, without that trace of calmness.
Calm, just because things are small; Take it easy, just because you don't care.
But now that the emperor is critically ill, the Great Song Dynasty is about to change, maybe in an instant, some courtiers are on the throne, some courtiers are unlucky, no one cares, and the most terrible thing is that this moment is a critical period for the Song and Jin wars, once the emperor is gone, then who can provoke the overall situation of resisting Jin.
Looking around at those who are qualified to be emperors, most of them are incompetent.
If it was in the era of peace, the world was stable, even if the waste became the emperor at that time, there was nothing, but now in the world of great disputes, killing is all over the land, and a waste becomes the emperor, at least the war will be defeated and the peace will be negotiated, and the country will be ruined.
"Then who can be the prince?"
"It's better to choose one of the two emperors as the emperor!"
At this time, some courtiers said one after another.
Zhao Da's face immediately turned blue, and Wang Wuyue's face was not good-looking.
"The two emperors will not be emperors!" This is, a voice said, it was Qin Hui, "Not long ago, I went to ask the two emperors to be emperors, but the two emperors were unwilling!" ”
Suddenly, the ministers present were silent, and the silence was terrifying!
"Why don't you choose one of the emperor's brothers as the emperor?"
"The Nine Emperor Princes, Zhao Gou, once entered the gold camp as a hostage, bravely went to the country, can he be a king?"
"No, he is a coward, and there are many indiscretions in Jinying!"
"The eighth prince, Zhao Yan, is in a docile mood and has the appearance of a benevolent monarch, and Enke is the king?"
"Domineering in troubled times comes first, and benevolence is the way to destroy the country!"
"The fifth prince, Zhao Shu, can he be the king?"
"No, you are frail and sickly, you can't be a king!"
Immediately, the cabinet and the military department quarreled, and there was a violent quarrel over which one would be the emperor.
In the past, the literati made a name for themselves, and the literati decided the ownership of the emperor. But now there is an additional military department, which has become the best weapon to restrain the cabinet and the military department.
The military department is only the emperor's secretarial body, helping to deal with military affairs, there is no right to transfer troops, there is no right to command troops, it only supervises military expenditures, supervises the military department, and the Privy Council.
It's just that at this moment, the emperor poisoned me, and I was in danger, and I lost the emperor's restraint, and the military department suddenly became a giant comparable to the cabinet.
The literati can no longer say anything, but are constrained everywhere.
At this moment, the cabinet, represented by the literati, and the military department, represented by the samurai, clashed violently, and quarreled violently over the heir to the throne. Both sides consciously avoided why the emperor was poisoned and how to find the murderer.
After arguing for a long time, there was still no conclusion.
Qin Hui asked, "Miss Wang, who do you think can be the emperor?" ”
And the other courtiers, whether it was the military department or the cabinet, stopped quarreling and looked at Wang Wuyue first. This woman is the closest to the emperor, if it weren't for her identity, the courtiers would have been opposed, and she would have been crowned queen.
But it is precisely because the courtiers are opposed that Zhao Pu has been vacant.
This also appeared the most embarrassing scene of the Song Dynasty, in terms of the heir to the throne, there are no heirs to inherit the throne, no father and brother can inherit the throne, not even the queen, and no one can decide who is the emperor.
It's just that at this moment, no one can care so much.
I can only ask this woman who does not have the status of a queen, but has the reality of a queen. (To be continued......)
