Chapter 415 Welcome back to the Second Emperor, filial piety!
Zhao Pu felt a hint of conspiracy.
At this time, another courtier said: "Your Majesty, since the founding of our dynasty, the greatest shame of our dynasty is the shame of Jingkang. The second emperor was captured by the Jin people, countless courtiers of the Jin Kingdom were humiliated, and the people were killed. The ministers heard that the two former emperors could not eat enough and sleep warmly in the Jin country, and they were abused by the Jin people in many ways. Your Majesty, please welcome back the two emperors! ”
"The second emperor suffered, His Majesty is a son of man, how can he not be filial, please welcome back the second emperor, the right to be filial piety!"
One by one, Wenchen began to step forward and speak, asking Zhao Pu to welcome back the second emperor.
Filial piety comes first, and filial piety in the Song Dynasty ranks first.
On the topic of filial piety, some courtiers put forward the idea of welcoming back the second emperor.
Zhao Pu's face turned slightly green, and he felt that the aura of conspiracy was even stronger.
"Then welcome back the second emperor, what will my dynasty pay, can you think of it?" At this time, a courtier raised an objection, and this person was Qin Hui. Qin Hui said awe-inspiringly: "Back then, King Chu Huai was imprisoned by the Qin State, and the Chu State used five hundred miles of land to redeem people, but it has not been redeemed, and five hundred miles of land have been lost in vain!" ”
"And now, in order to welcome back the two first emperors, what price will our dynasty pay, whether to lose the land of Sichuan, or the land of Xiangfan, or spend millions of dollars, or force our emperor to abdicate!"
At this moment, Qin Hui retorted with righteous words, with the taste of a hardcore royalist.
Although he did not explicitly oppose the return of the Second Emperor, he pointed out that the return of the Second Emperor might be blackmailed by the Jin State and may suffer heavy losses.
"Bastard Qin Hui, as a son of man, how can he allow his father and brother to be humiliated in the enemy country. You are going to fall into unfilial piety! A royal historian scolded Qin Hui.
"What is the land. What is money, my Great Song Dynasty rules the world with filial piety! ”
"Your Majesty's throne originates from my brother's father, how can I forget it!"
Some imperial histories have refuted.
"Right Prime Minister. If you don't have any money, you can earn it again, but if your father and brother die, you can't get it if you want to be filial at that time. Could it be that in the eyes of Prime Minister Qin, filial piety is not as important as money? Another courtier said, in a sharp tone, on the line. All of a sudden, the second emperor was welcomed, involving filial piety and money.
At this time, Zhao Ding retorted: "Welcome back the second emperor." It's not impossible, but the cost is too great for us to bear. Filial piety is heavier than Mount Tai, but national affairs are heavier. Your Majesty. How can it be for filial piety? And the people of the Great Song Dynasty ignored it! ”
Li Gang also said: "Your Majesty, it is not impossible to welcome back the second emperor, but you need to be cautious so as not to be fooled!" ”
Originally, Zhao Ding and Li Gang could be said to be Qin Hui's political enemies, but at the moment they were on Qin Hui's side.
Pause. The court was divided into two factions, one advocating the return of the second emperor. One opposed the return of the Second Emperor. and advocated welcoming the second emperor, most of them were depressed and unambitious, mostly in the idle yamen, above the court, with little right to speak, and leftover courtiers;
These courtiers, after Zhao Pu came to power, were depressed, and they were originally in high positions, but with the replacement of the emperor, once a son of heaven and a courtier, these characters were marginalized. At this moment, it is proposed to welcome back the two emperors, more to brush up on the high existence and enhance popularity.
And those who oppose welcoming the second emperor are mostly the real power faction in the court, or Zhao Pu's cronies.
Fame and popularity are not important, the important thing is to have the upper hand in the big right and wrong and be consistent with the emperor.
You can't talk nonsense, especially in the court. Talking nonsense is a loss of official status and exile, and a small life is not guaranteed. These courtiers, every word they said in the court, they had typed countless drafts in advance, and they couldn't and couldn't say it nonsense. And once there is no good relationship, rarely speak, silence is golden!
At this time, these words are more representative of the interests of their respective factions and their respective positions.
Welcoming the two emperors back to the Song Dynasty, although they can't really shake Zhao Pu's position, there will be a lot of changes.
There is no emperor, I like to have the emperor standing by my side.
As long as it is a wise person, he does not mention welcoming the two emperors, which is to add to Zhao Pu's blockage.
Of course, there are exceptions............
The courtiers below were arguing, and Zhao Pu was thinking while watching.
"Conspiracy, conspiracy!" Zhao Pu already knew everything in his heart.
There is no wind and no waves, no one makes waves, and there will be no twists and turns today, it seems that the Jin people are going to do it.
Due to Zhao Pu's intransigent attitude, many capitulation factions died down, but they did not really stop, but began to infiltrate and change by various means. And the high-level of the Jin army also took advantage of the dissenting intentions of the courtiers in the DPRK and China to raise this issue at a critical moment.
Welcome back to the second emperor!
If it was a few years ago, no one would have raised this topic, because Song was weak and strong at that time; It is of great significance to raise this topic at this moment, because Song is strong and weak.
With the military victory of the Song Dynasty, the hidden contradictions and some entanglements in peacetime also reappeared.
After the foreign war was fought, the civil war began.
Some people want to use this to attack political opponents; Some people want to take advantage of this time; Still others; Use this to test his bottom line.
There isn't a single fuel-efficient lamp!
And this question is unavoidable, because welcoming back the second emperor is directly related to filial piety.
In this era, any mistake made by the emperor is not a mistake, and someone goes to the thunder; The people and the ministers will forgive. But if you have a reputation for unfilial piety, then no one will stand up to the thunder, no one will carry the black pot, but you will have a bad reputation.
"Interesting!"
Zhao Pu smiled in his heart, this was a crisis for him, but it was also an opportunity.
…………
After a long debate, the early dynasty ended without a clear conclusion.
After the court meeting, everyone left, leaving only a few courtiers to discuss state affairs, including Qin Hui.
In the side hall, Qin Hui, Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Fan Boyan, etc., several important ministers gathered together, it can be regarded as a cabinet meeting! If you say that the early dynasty belongs to the stage of party contention; The Cabinet is the decision-making body that determines the general policy.
There may be fights, but cooperation is above all else.
At this moment, the side hall is very quiet, quiet, and the atmosphere is a little depressing!
In the end, it was Zhao Pu who took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "It is the duty of children to honor their parents. No matter how big the fault of the father or the elder brother, it is still a relative. Between relatives, break bones and connect the scriptures. Over the years, my father and brother have suffered a lot. It's time to get them back! ”
Qin Hui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the task assigned by Zong Pan was finally completed. I'm not afraid of asking for a price, I'm not afraid of harsh conditions, I'm afraid that this emperor won't care at all. It's finally a look.
But Li Gang had a complicated expression and was a little unwilling. The scholar dies as a confidant, and the greatest hope of a courtier is to be appointed by the king, and he will be reused in the era of Huizong of the Song Dynasty; In the era of Song Qinzong, there were ups and downs; Only in front of this emperor is reused, with whom such an emperor is concerned, he will not worry about becoming famous.
Subconsciously, Li Gang didn't want the two emperors to come back, which would bring twists and turns to the Song Dynasty.
In the Battle of Hedong that year, the 200,000 Western Army was wiped out for many reasons, the most important of which was the lack of grain and grass.
At that time, the courtiers under Song Huizong refused to accept Song Qinzong and cut off the source of grain and grass from the southeast, resulting in a shortage of grain and grass, resulting in a great defeat in Hedong. Such a tragedy can't happen again, and Li Gang doesn't want these two to come back.
These two emperors are both people who add to the chaos, and they have more than enough success and failure!
And the other courtiers also chose to be silent, when it comes to the royal family, there are some things that are hard to say!
But Zhao Ding couldn't scruple so much.
"Your Majesty, no!" Zhao Ding stood up suddenly, and said with an angry expression: "There can be no two days in the sky, and there can be no two kings in the country." If these two emperors come back, the situation will definitely be twisted and turned, and then the world will change greatly, and the situation will get out of control! ”
Qin Hui saw that the situation was not good, and immediately said: "Now, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is the sky, and the two emperors first had the humiliation of losing the army and losing the country, how can they be emperors again, the so-called state has three monarchs, but nonsense." At this moment, the two former emperors wanted soldiers without soldiers, and they wanted money without wealth, and the people opposed their possible reinstatement as kings. You're too worried! ”
"You're talking light!" Zhao Ding said disdainfully, "The emperor's ascension to the throne is not justified. However, it has made up for its own shortcomings for the time being. Now, these two former emperors have returned to the Song Dynasty, if the two former emperors are unwilling to abdicate and take many actions, what should His Majesty do at that time? Prisoner or Kill! In any case, it is to trap His Majesty in injustice and undermine His Majesty's wisdom. (To be continued......)
