Chapter 757: The Eve

Zhao Hao glanced at Wu Yi quietly, as if what the other party said had nothing to do with him, but in fact, his heart was already surging.

Wu Yizheng said: "There is a precedent story, Your Majesty has a brother and a brother......

He quoted old things, ancient texts, and sage scriptures, and talked endlessly.

Wu Yi is worthy of being born in the imperial history, and he is a talented man with a high reputation among the scholars.

No one in the room interrupted him, but they all looked up and looked in the direction of the bed.

It doesn't matter who said this, what matters is the content of the words.

If the Son of Heaven approves of the vassal king's succession, then the entire court of the Great Jin Dynasty will have to be changed.

Fan Yaochen turned his head to look at Sun Bian.

Sun Bian's face was ugly, he glanced back at him, and the two of them turned to Huang Zhaoliang not far away.

It happened that Huang Zhaoliang also looked back.

The eyes of the three of them met in pairs, and after only three or two breaths, they turned away.

However, they have been peers for many years, and although it is just a look, it is enough to see each other's meaning.

The same was done by several courtiers in the Privy Council.

Everyone fights for power and tears each other on weekdays, and when it comes to the current situation, they are naturally seeking benefits for their own party, and each has its own thoughts.

For example, Huang Zhaoliang, in his early years, he offended the Empress Dowager Zhang in order to expel several princes from the forbidden palace.

If he succeeds the new emperor, but the new emperor succeeds to the throne but the queen mother hangs the curtain, or is succeeded by the vassal king, how can he have a good life?

Although Huang Zhaoliang is the prime minister, he has only been back to the dynasty for two years, and he can't say that he can't say that he has the power to the government and the opposition, that is, he wants to be dominant, but he can't do it, once he has a conflict with the incumbent, it is impossible to overwhelm the imperial power, I am afraid that he will either invite himself to go out, or choose the opportunity to say goodbye.

Another example is Li Hui, he once had a festival with the four kings on official business, for him, whoever ascends the throne is secondary, and the most important thing is that the throne and the four kings should not have anything to do with it.

Besides, Sun Bian, Ren Hao and others, who were originally the old people of the Queen Mother, later withdrew the curtain of the Queen Mother, and the Son of Heaven succeeded to the throne, and the two of them were repeatedly idle by the Son of Heaven.

However, no matter how everyone calculates, the final decision will still be made by the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Rui's chest rose and fell violently, looking like he wanted to gasp but couldn't, he didn't look at Wu Yi, he didn't look at the rest of the courtiers, but his eyes were staring at the two younger brothers who were standing a few steps away, and asked, "Which of you two wants to take this position?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang's face fell when she heard this, and she shouted, "Second brother! ”

I don't know if it was poisoned in my heart, difficult to control myself, or other reasons, Zhao Rui actually said such inappropriate words.

Hearing Empress Dowager Zhang's reminder, Zhao Rui ignored it and only stared at her two younger brothers.

Zhao Hao was covered with sweat and shouted: "The second brother is a real dragon, with the protection of the sky, he will definitely be able to survive this catastrophe!" My brother has no such intention! ”

The four kings shook their hands and said: "Your Majesty, the younger brother must do his best to support the new monarch, and there will be no two hearts!" ”

The two vassal kings competed to express their intention to take the throne, but soon, one after another courtiers in the palace jumped out, although the voice was not loud, but it had gradually formed a force.

Zhao Hao lowered his head, as if he was introspecting himself, and he didn't want others to pay attention to him, but secretly glanced at his younger brother beside him.

Among the people who came out to speak one by one, there was Zhao Hao's own arrangement, but there were also many people who had nothing to do with him, I don't know if it was done by his younger brother, who had always seemed very honest, or if someone stood up to fish in troubled waters.

At this moment, Zhao Rui was already half angry.

Several ministers stood up one after another to speak, and put their big hats on his head one by one, as if if he did not give up the throne to his adult brother, but first passed on the throne to his step-heir, and then passed on the throne to his new successor, he would have done something that would bring disaster to the country and the people.

After a short time, those who supported the vassal king quarreled with those who advocated succession to the emperor's heir.

Those who support the vassal king pick up the problem of "who hangs the curtain", and want to divide the group that has succeeded the emperor's heir, and those who advocate the succession of the emperor's heir are very easily provoked, only after the tea effort, the two factions in the palace are already divided into three factions, and the quarrel is more intense.

Even if everyone is a high-ranking minister from a Jinshi and a center of power, these many people are no different from the noisy village husbands and peasant women in the countryside, as if a loud voice can win.

This is in the Funing Palace, not in the Wende and Daqing Second Palaces, and it is a hasty gathering of people, where is there a courtesy official to see on the side.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng stepped forward several times to dissuade everyone, not allowing everyone to be rude, who would have expected that he had not stopped people, and his own family had already gone into a melee together.

Seeing that the more noisy it became, the Empress Dowager Zhang summoned the attendants around her, and was about to ask someone to go to the middle to pull a group of people away, but she heard someone call behind her: "Queen Mother." ”

The voice was weak.

She turned her head to look, and sure enough, it was Zhao Rui who was looking at herself and calling, as if she wanted to say something to herself.

No matter how much Empress Dowager Zhang didn't like this son, how could she refuse at this time, her heart was sad, and she immediately left according to her words and sat on the chair next to her.

Zhao Ruixi closed her lips, and the upper and lower petals didn't know if they were sticky, so she opened them again for a long time and whispered a word.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her son and asked, "Have you thought clearly?" ”

***

Not to mention the situation in Funing Palace, in the Gyeonggi Prison Division, Gu Yanzhang stood in front of Hu Quan and urged the other party to enter the palace to talk.

Hu Quan was powerless, and said helplessly: "This official also knows that this matter is very urgent, but you are also here at today's court, where can I see Your Majesty out of the court, just now I went to Zhongshu, no one in the two mansions is in the public hall, even if you want to enter the palace to present things, there is no one to pass it on, and it is difficult to find out whether Your Majesty is free." ”

He asked again, "What did the monk say?" ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said, "If you only bite the truth, you can't endure hardship and steal back to the capital." ”

Hu Quan snorted coldly: "Where did the text on his body come from, and what does it say in the Hangzhou Nafa Xiguan?" However, in a short period of time, he has already gained such momentum in the capital, how can there be no one to instigate him......"

He paused and said, "If you really refuse to confess, you will be punished and served!" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded, and said: "I have already sent someone to Dali Temple, and when the report is approved, if Na Zhixin does not confess again, he will be punished according to the law......

These many details of the trial, it stands to reason that Hu Quan and Gu Yanzhang do not need to be personally inquired into, but this case is really extraordinary, especially the person involved in the case, Song Weizi, who only came out of the palace that day, and had contacts with many courtiers and relatives in the court, and then involved in the relationship.

The two were talking, and finally waited for a person outside to hurry in, only made a hasty salute, and said: "Hu Gongshi, Deputy Envoy Gu, that Song Weizi has recruited some things!" ”

As he spoke, he presented the two confessions he had copied in his hand.

Gu Yanzhang and Hu Quan glanced at each other, took a copy, and quickly scanned it.

Therefore, the case is very important, Hu Quan deliberately sent people to Dali Temple to say hello, everyone also knew that it was powerful, the process went fast, and the approval of the punishment was quickly sent back to the Criminal Division, and the officials were recognized, and they were severely tortured and punished, but for more than an hour, Song Weizi had already confessed to all his actions.

Hu Quan had already instructed that no matter what he confessed, he must first show him the confession, and sure enough, the official took it first.

It turns out that Hangzhou does have a view of the law of happiness, only that view of the small partial, far away in the mountains, the Taoist temple has long been down, there is no Taoist priest in it, Zhixin was sent to Jiaozhi to preach in the country before, he is smart, indeed proficient in Buddhism, even if the heart is not far away, but also slowly opened up the situation.

It's just that the climate in Jiaozhi is harsh, and he is not all in a prosperous place, five or six of the ten days are to be escorted by two "walkers" sent by Gu Yanzhang to cross the mountains and mountains, while exploring the geography and people, the distribution of forces, and on the other hand, promoting Buddhism, preaching and preaching.

Later, he was "promoting the Dharma" and making a name for himself everywhere, but the former was not so easy to do. It was in the hot summer, when Zhixin was a great monk in Beijing in the past, he was not boasting, there was a lotus flower next to the summer preaching, the iceberg was arranged in the hall, and there was a small novice behind him to help play a fan, and there was a clear heart drink when he was thirsty, and a delicious meal when he was hungry.

How can the capital be as hot as Jiaozhi, but he changed places, the climate is so bad, he actually has to brave the scorching sun, go over the mountains and mountains, feed insects and ants, hide from cockroaches and beasts, and he can't stand it for long, he is already scarred all over his body, and his life is miserable.

In less than two months in Jiaozhi, Zhixin gave birth to several serious illnesses in succession, this time it was not pretending to be sick, but really diarrhea, high fever and water and soil are not adapted, fortunately he is a monk, Jiaozhi is the place of Buddha, he does not go to those places in Shenglong Mansion, only wandering in the states and counties near the border, quite respected, relying on a good eloquence, quite respected by the rich families near the left, and his own family is proficient in medical skills, and he narrowly picked up a life.

At the same time, he got medicine from the hands of the locals, secretly turned over two watchdog walkers, and got out of his own house, because he knew that his identity was sensitive, and a bald head was too obvious, and it was very easy to be targeted, so he simply made a fake document, pretended to be a Taoist priest, and reflexively took the sea route back to Qinzhou.

Because he happened to hear someone mention it a few years ago, many places in the south advocate Taoism, and there are often unknown small temples, in which there are only one or two Taoists, although they are not powerful, they can maintain Taoism.

As far as Zhixin is concerned, although he has been a monk, he is not unrefined in Taoism, and he knows that as long as he goes to Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is not difficult to get a Taoist to do it. Whether it is a Buddha or a Tao, it is just a way for him to become famous, in fact, it doesn't matter, and now the monk can't go this way, so he naturally takes the road of the Taoist.

However, no matter which one he is, he is born to stand above the world, and he should enjoy the support of all surnames, which is not something that can be satisfied in a small Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he is bound to return to Beijing.

After finishing the draft, he went all the way from Quang Nam to the east, passing by various Taoist temples, relying on his own ability, one to show people's faces, the other to preach to people, and from time to time he also opened the altar to preach the scriptures, because he used different identities every time, but no one noticed.

Halfway to the road, he met a Taoist priest, from the other party learned that there is an old Taoist in Hangzhou Faxi Temple, operating alone, the Taoist temple is in the deep mountains, clouds and mist, inaccessible, beautiful scenery.

The Taoist only mentioned it, but Zhixin was attentive, and after confirming the information repeatedly, he turned his head and went straight to Faxiguan.

When he got to the place, there was a Taoist called Song Weizi inside, but for some reason, the person was already old and dead, so Zhixin took his documents, inherited his identity, pretended to be Song Weizi, and walked and preached in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

This is his old business, it doesn't take a month or two to become famous, and he has been invited to Beijing, but he just wants to enjoy glory and wealth, who would have thought that he would be discovered by the Criminal Division.

After reading the confession, Hu Quan slapped the paper on the table and scolded: "This monk, when he is dying, still refuses to tell the truth!" ”

After Gu Yanzhang read the confession, he naturally knew that most of it was not ominous, and he didn't know if it was made up in a hurry, and there were many things that he didn't care about.

He was a little uneasy, and said: "The people next to him are not in a hurry, as long as they are carefully interrogated, they can always find clues, and some people have quickly gone to Suzhou and Hangzhou to find the Fa Xiguan, as for Qinzhou and other places, they should also go to check, and on the way, it is impossible not to leave anything behind, but he entered the palace with me yesterday, and I don't know what the plan is." ”

Hu Quan had already asked about the behavior of Na Zhixin and Gu Yanzhang when they were together, and he also knew that the palace was heavily guarded, and the other party was a "Taoist", who had been following the Yellow Gate by his side, and it was impossible to do anything, so he said at this time: "It doesn't matter, fortunately, he doesn't refine pills, and Your Majesty is not the kind of person who asks for immortals and medicines. ”

The two of them were talking here, and the next person was still interrogating Zhixin, from morning to evening, Nazhixin turned over and over, only picked up what he had said before to confess, and insisted that he had not done the rest of the evil things, nor had he broken the law, but he didn't want to suffer in Jiaozhi, so he sneaked back to Beijing, and then asked the rest, he refused to say more, even if he was tortured, he would only cry and call his mother, saying that his family really didn't hide it.

Gu and Hu waited until the evening, but not only did they not get further confessions from Zhixin, but they didn't even hear any news from the palace.

Hu Quan had already sent someone to watch at the palace gate, Mo said that no one came out of it, even if there was no one who went in, and the two important ministers who entered the palace after the early dynasty seemed to sink into the sea.

Now that the time has already passed, compared to waiting in the public hall, for Hu Quan, it is naturally not as direct as inquiring from his father-in-law, so he and Gu Yanzhang went back to their homes.

Those who noticed the situation in the palace were naturally not only Gu and Hu. On the contrary, as long as there are some eyes, they all know that something must have happened in the palace.

In Junyi Bridge Fang, Yang Yifu was going back and forth in the study.

He clutched a letter in his hand, his brow furrowed, and his face was extremely gloomy, as if he was in trouble and did not know what to do.

It was late at night, there was no one else in the room, it was very quiet, only the sound of insects could be heard.

He wandered for a long time, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and after a while, a small servant knocked on the door and said, "Official, the person who went out with Xianggong today is back." ”
