CHAPTER XLII
There are hundreds of people who have seen this situation. Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan are both scheming martial artists, who are like Qin Hui, they know how to avoid suspicion, they only say that it was ordered by the emperor, anyway, it is the emperor's errand, although it is the prince and the previous emperor who killed, but it is very terrible.
With such a thought, when I started to do it, I naturally felt that there were no taboos and that it was good luck.
By the time Zhao Gou's body was fished up, nearly 10,000 people who followed him to Jinghu had learned about it from the forbidden army.
On that day, they forced Zhao Gou to abdicate, and the soldiers of the army had nothing to say.
One is that Wang Yuan was too unpopular when crossing the river, and the soldiers of the three armies were afraid, and Zhao Gou's reuse of Wang Yuan made the upper and lower levels dissatisfied, and they complained.
Second, it was Kang Lu and other imperial eunuchs, relying on the emperor's favor and Wang Yuan's friendship, to be domineering in the army, which made the soldiers in the army hate him even more.
In addition, the legitimate emperor Zhao Huan in the hearts of the soldiers has returned, Zhao Gou's identity has changed from orthodoxy to embarrassment, and Miao and Liu rebelled, but the soldiers of the forbidden army felt that they were not rebellious, but only protected the legal system of the imperial court. When Liu Guangshi besieged the city, with Miao and Liu, they were able to hold on to the city, which was also due to the high morale of the forbidden army and the fact that they were doing the right thing.
And Miao Fu killed the former master like this, no matter what the reason was, he could not convince the soldiers of the three armies. When Empress Meng secretly sent someone to investigate, the situation before and after was naturally known clearly, and no one concealed it.
This time, Empress Meng was dissatisfied with Zhao Hengji, and it was also because she knew the miserable reason for Zhao Gou's death.
At this time, seeing Qin Hui explain like this, Empress Meng's heart was furious, and she couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Qin Hui and scolded: "Do you still dare to excuse the two traitors, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan?" ”
Qin Hui saw her trembling with anger, and knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly replied: "How dare you be a minister, just report the situation to Your Majesty to know that Miao and Liu are not properly taken care of." As a result, King Kang accidentally fell into the river, and his sin could not escape, and His Majesty would be punished. ”
Zhao Huan also knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and a wave of green air passed over his face, and he immediately ordered categorically: "Although Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan have made great contributions and paid official respects, they have committed such a big mistake, and there is no need to mention the credit." ”
He looked around at Zuo Gu, and the ministers were shocked at this time. Knowing that he was going to behead Miao Liu and the others, they bated their breath and bowed together, not daring to make the slightest movement.
"Xue Qiang?"
"The minister is here!"
Zhao Huan snorted, and Xue Qiang, who was standing not far from him, was startled. Hurriedly stood up and saluted him, waiting for orders.
"I order you to be the commander of the left army of the imperial camp and go to Xiangyang. Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were given to death. Liu Zhan and other officers above the command level of the land line. Hang them all! In this way, the right to comfort King Kang in the spirit of heaven. ”
Speaking of the last sentence, Zhao Huan spoke with sadness, and Xie Liang and other prime ministers spoke comfortingly. Then the ministers started to speak together, completely covering Xue Qiang's answer.
Zhao Huan saw that Xue Qiang in front of him was ignorant, obviously he had not recovered from the official position and dispatch he had just been appointed, although he had already saluted and agreed, he had not retreated.
He laughed secretly, and swept Kang Chengxun, who was standing next to him with a sword, out of the corner of his eye, and asked the commander of the front class of the palace to take Xue Qiang, who was in a daze, down.
After disposing of this matter, it is an official article to welcome the Empress Dowager.
Led by Zhao Huan. The mountain shouted and danced, and the ministers followed closely and saluted together. Then the table congratulated, into the gifts, to welcome the Queen Mother when it was less than noon, to the end of the commotion, it was already close to the time to declare.
Empress Meng unloaded Zhao Gou's heart, and was also full of joy by the big scenes in front of her, but in the end, she was old, and she was already tired after the trouble.
Zhao Huan saw her like this, and he was also tired, so he ordered to save a lot of red tape and mattresses, and ordered to set off to welcome the Queen Mother back to Chang'an Palace to live in peace.
He is so solemn and fanfare, but also because the royal family of the Song Dynasty has been humiliated so far, there are no elders in the clan, and the status of the Queen Mother is also very high in the hearts of the officials and the people.
The emperor gave an order, and the team immediately set off, and the avenue along the way was full of people who came to hear the wind, and saw the honor guard of the emperor and the queen mother passing by, and the sound of long live was endless, resounding through the clouds.
Since Zhao Huan came to Chang'an, he reduced taxes, built water conservancy, renovated the city, appeased the exiles, and closed the people, not only did not feel the inconvenience of the emperor's arrival, but stained a lot.
Many measures, it will take a long time for the rest of the cities in the Song Dynasty to enjoy, and the people of Chang'an have indeed gained a lot of benefits because of Zhao Huan's stationing here, so that the sincerity of the emperor's support is also incomparable to the rest of the places.
Zhao Huan himself saw this, and he was also proud in his heart.
As an official in the previous life and an emperor in this life, as long as he is an individual, he naturally has the idea of being willing to do things for the people and fighting for a name in front of him. It's just that in his previous life, he was hindered by reality and did a lot of things he didn't want to do and shouldn't do, but he was an emperor in this life, but he could show his skills.
Landlanders like money and beauties, and landlanders like to be at ease. People like Zhao Huan have the heaviest power, and the satisfaction brought by power also makes him extremely happy.
As for the main gate of the imperial palace in the city, although this palace gate is only restructured with the gate of the palace of the economic system, and the palace room of Tokyo City can not be compared, but today it is also full of lights, full of joy, the officials sent the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother here, and then knelt on both sides of the main gate, watching the emperor drive the Queen Mother into the palace.
Chang'an Palace, only one-tenth of the size of the original Tokyo City, because of the need to welcome the queen, Zhao Huan made a painful determination to move hundreds of households near the palace and expand the palace, although so, it was only a small and a half of the Tokyo Palace that day, and it was far worse than the Lin'an Palace that Zhao Gou had operated for less than a year.
After the hundred officials retreated, Zhao Huan entered the harem with Empress Meng, and saw Empress Meng sitting in the sedan chair, and couldn't help but look at both sides.
Although it is also full of flowers, the palace wall is green, and the pattern is slightly smaller, but in a moment, it has arrived at the residence of Queen Meng.
Everyone sat down in turn, and the room was silent for a while, but it was faint. Hear the cries of the market outside the palace.
Zhao Huan was embarrassed and said: "The country is difficult, and the palace layout is too narrow. ”
Empress Meng raised her hand with a smile. Although his face was tired, he could see that his mood was improving, and when he saw Zhao Huan say this, he withdrew his smile again. only said: "When I was in Lin'an, I often heard people say that in order to save money, the palace does not repair the palace, and your ninth brother said that you do not have an imperial system." I thought to myself. The official family puts the people first, but there is a truth that Tang Taizong used the people as water and knew that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat. Tokyo is back and forth, and there are endless wars. The people of the world are unbearable, in my opinion. The current palace layout is excessive. ”
This old man can understand the righteousness so well, Zhao Huan is really surprised.
After a pause, he said, "It's too close to the downtown area, I'm just afraid of noise." ”
Empress Meng said with a smile: "It's good to be in the downtown recently, I have been in the deep palace for a long time, and I can't breathe in the vitality of the world." Okay? My Song family has always been lenient and benevolent, and the official family did not live in Jiuzhong as in the previous dynasty, and your ninth brother often went out of the palace, and your father was even more so. Where we live now, it's just to call some stubborn snacks, which are also very convenient, what's wrong. ”
Seeing that Zhao Huan was still going to speak, she waved her hand lightly, her face was tired, and she only said: "Guan Song is going to be busy, I heard that the military affairs at the front are also very urgent, plus the Jinghu Road local affairs, the official family is also very worried, don't waste too much energy on my old wife." ”
If Zhao Huan was still perfunctory, he was very moved at this time, and couldn't help but bow deeply, and replied: "Yes, then Erchen went." ”
After that, he ordered the queen mother to leave and right the palace people a few words, and then retreated and withdrew.
As soon as he went out, there were officials who had been waiting in the field, carrying a large number of documents and military newspapers, and rushed forward to wait for his execution.
Zhao Huan looked at the thick stack of papers, frowned and shook his head.
He is not Zhu Yuanzhang, he is hardworking to the point of perversion, but many things are done normally, but they are secretly in line with the future changes, and he can't do it himself.
Moreover, although the current prime ministers are all square gentlemen and talents, they can't do it when they say that they want to rely on their hearts and disperse their power to others.
He sighed, he was going back to the side hall where he was doing business, but he suddenly remembered something, waved his hand, and said, "Send it to my case first, and I'll talk about it later." ”
When everyone retreated, he only took a few servants and walked along the verandah of Zhulan all the way to Dehou Garden.
At this time, the sky will be late, a stick of red sun obliquely hangs in the distance, the garden has been expanded, the grass is shaded by green trees, there are more flowers, dotted in the meantime, the original small pond enamel has been renovated, it is also graceful like a jade belt, circling around, plus cherishing the exotic beast swimming in the grass and forest, but it is refreshing.
Every time Zhao Huan came here, Yan sat safely, and he felt relieved and leisurely.
Every time he heard people talk about the size of the imperial garden in the Tokyo Palace, it was more than a hundred times larger than here, but it made him understand why the emperors of the Song Dynasty were completely discouraged.
When he sat down, the free eunuch presented herbal tea, and someone waved a fan next to him to cool off, which was more comfortable.
Zhao Huan rested for a while, and then ordered: "Let Xue Qiang come over." ”
Although Xue Qiang has achieved control, he still belongs to the front of the palace, and the Emperor Ling Ri ordered him to go to Xiangyang, which made him feel that he would be summoned, so he was still waiting in the palace, and when Zhao Huan passed on, he would come immediately.
Because he had been sent as an official, Xue Qiang was not as casual as when he was a guard in the palace, and when he saw Zhao Huan, he knelt down and saluted.
Zhao Huan's face was relaxed, and when he saw Xue Qiang kneeling in front of him, he actually laughed, leaned forward slightly, pulled him up with his own hands, and said, "Good boy, it's really tight." ”
Seeing Xue Qiang standing in front of him, very wooden, Zhao Huan made fun of him, and said: "You have been by my side for many years, and you have always been able to speak well, why are you so silent today, are you reluctant to leave my side?" This is difficult, I said that day, you are not a man, you might as well go to me and wait, is it really so? ”
Xue Qiang originally really had the intention of being reluctant to leave, but he was taken aback by his joke at this time, and only said: "The minister has no such intention, please be cautious." ”
Zhao Huan remembered the events of that day and couldn't help laughing.
Xue Qiang looked at him, but he wanted to say something.
Zhao Huan made fun of him that day, he said that Zhao Huan was not like a human king, and today the emperor made fun of him, but he couldn't say it anymore.
