…

For Zhao Huan, the most urgent thing at present is not to recapture Hebei and Hedong, nor how to deal with Li Cun's anger that will inevitably fall because he broke the peace treaty, but how to get his father Zhao Ji and all the royal and clan members of the Zhao and Song dynasties who fled back to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Calculating the time, it has been almost three months since Zhao Ji and them escaped from Tokyo Bianliang City for refuge.

In the past three months, Zhao Ji has done a total of three things that are more out of line.

The first thing is that Zhao Ji once cut off the connection between the Sichuan-Shaanxi region and the Zhao and Song courts, and asked everyone in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region to report to his camp.

The second thing is that Zhao Ji stopped the follow-up troops who wanted to go to King Qinwang of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and ordered these troops to be temporarily commanded by Tong Guan to guard the various checkpoints into Shaanxi.

The third thing is that Zhao Ji detained the Gangyun that was going to be transported to Bianliang City, Tokyo, and let all these Gangyun be handed over to his camp.

Some people rumored that Zhao Ji might want to be restored in Chang'an.

These matters were soon reported to the imperial court by Li Mida, the governor of Shaanzhou.

But—

The first person to remind Zhao Huan that Zhao Ji in Chang'an might be restored was not Li Mida, but Chen Dong.

Shortly after Chen Dong wrote to Zhao Huan two months ago, he reminded Zhao Huan in the subsequent recital of "Begging the Five Thieves" that Zhao Ji might be restored with the help of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan and other five thieves.

At that time, Chen Dong made up a lot of things in order to exaggerate the harm of the "five thieves".

Like, Zhao Ji fled to Shaanxi and was kidnapped by Tong Guan;

Like, Cai Jing and others are preparing to control the Sichuan-Shaanxi region;

For example, Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, and Li Yan stayed in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and did not leave, because they were ready to be Cai Jing and Tong Guan's internal response;

Like, Cai Jing and Tong Guan are ready to collude with the Daqian Dynasty to carve up the Zhao and Song dynasties;

Like, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, and Li Yan are friends for many years.

Wait a minute......

It is not difficult to see from Chen Dong's recital at that time that Chen Dong was indeed from a poor family and did not know much about current affairs, so that many of his accusations against the "five thieves" were either hearsay, or chasing after the wind, or even completely subjective speculation.

Among them, the speculation about Cai Jing is very wrong.

Because Cai Jing didn't go to Shaanxi with Zhao Ji at all, he fled to Gongzhou with his family, and no one was around Zhao Ji, how could he help Zhao Ji plan for restoration?

However, although what Chen Dong said was simply a donkey's lips and a horse's mouth, Zhao Ji was in Shaanxi, where most of the soldiers and horses of the Zhao and Song Dynasty were gathered, and many civil and military officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, as well as the royal family and clan, still aroused Zhao Huan's vigilance.

Unlike at the beginning of the succession, Zhao Huan really did not want to be the emperor, and now Zhao Huan has tasted the beauty of power, the key, in Zhao Huan's view, the biggest threat to the Zhao Song Dynasty Li Cun has withdrawn, and the threat has been lifted.

At this time, let Zhao Huan return the throne to Zhao Ji, how could Zhao Huan be willing?

Not to mention letting Zhao Huan return the throne to Zhao Ji, even if Zhao Huan is now subordinated to Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan is unwilling.

Moreover, many ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties also advised Zhao Huan that they must cut off Zhao Ji's wings, that is, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others must be removed, and if they are allowed to "deceive" Zhao Ji again, the Zhao and Song dynasties will be in danger of splitting. ….

Some people even put forward the slogan "Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others are not eliminated, and the country will have no peace".

Zhao Huan felt that what these people said was very reasonable, so he issued an edict and asked his cronie Yin Nieshan of Kaifeng Mansion to replace Song Huan as the Yongxing Military Road Delivery Envoy, looking for an opportunity to get rid of Tong Guan and other Zhao Ji's wings.

Nie Shan is here with Zhao Huan, which is basically equivalent to Song Jiang being with Li Cun, that is, the white gloves that specialize in helping Zhao Huan do dirty work.

Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng were all killed by Nie Shan for Zhao Huan, and now Zhao Huan is ready to follow the trick and let Nie Shan help him deal with Tong Guan and others beside Zhao Ji.

Nie Shan had the consciousness of being a white glove, and he asked Zhao Huan to give him the next holy decree to kill Tong Guan and others, and hoped to bring a group of cronies from Kaifeng Mansion

Go with him to work.

When Nie Shan asked Zhao Huan for an order, it happened that Shangshumei of the household department was preparing to report to Zhao Huan how many items had been paid to the Daqian Dynasty as war reparations.

After overhearing that Zhao Huan was about to send Nie Shan to kill Tong Guan and other people around Zhao Ji, Mei Zhili immediately advised Zhao Huan and said:

"Tong Guan and several others are undoubtedly unforgivable, but the trip to Nie Mountain has come to fruition, alarming the Daojun, and worrying about His Majesty's filial piety; If the plan does not work, it is felt by several people, and if you coerce the Taoist monarch in Chang'an and seek employment in Shu, how can Your Majesty deal with it?"

Being reminded by Mei Zhili, Zhao Huan suddenly woke up, knowing that he had almost made a stinky move, he hurriedly asked Mei Zhili, "What should I do?"

Mei Zhili gave Zhao Huan an idea and said, "Stop Nie Mountain's trip, and clearly blame Tong Guan's belongings. Sent an edict to Cai You, and ordered those who persuaded Daojun to go to these few people, they should return to Luanyu as soon as possible, and they can settle things without work."

Zhao Huan felt that Mei Zhili's idea was very good, so he decisively stopped Nie Shan's action and let Mei Zhili handle the matter instead......

Actually-

In the later period of Zhao Ji's reign, after the rise of Li Cun, a powerful enemy that made Zhao Ji run into walls everywhere, revealed all of Zhao Ji's unbearable, and made Zhao Ji feel that he could not defeat it, Zhao Ji felt that it was actually good to retire and hand over Li Cun, an enemy he would definitely not be able to defeat, to his son to worry about.

In other words, Zhao Ji did not have the intention of restoration.

Therefore, Zhao Ji felt very aggrieved that those ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty were suspicious of him.

- Zhao Ji even felt that he had already lost half of his ancestor's territory, and he couldn't split the remaining half of his territory no matter what.

Moreover, Zhao Ji also refused to carry out his palace decree through a large number of officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty such as Lin Chi, the governor of Huazhou, and understood that since the moment he ceded the throne to Zhao Huan, he was no longer the supreme leader of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

In addition, Wu Min secretly wrote a letter to Cai You, asking Cai You to persuade Zhao Ji to return to Beijing.

In addition, soon after, Zhao Huan transferred Song Huan back to Tokyo Bianliang City to take up a post.

Zhao Ji knew that Zhao Huan was going to do something to him.

Therefore, Zhao Ji explained to Zhao Huan in the edict given to Song Huan:

"Since the imperial west, there are only 3,000 guards in the country, and Sichuan and Shaanxi are the land of my Great Song Dynasty Baolong, so I leave some western soldiers to stick to Shaanxi, just in case. As for the stop of food and wages, the interception angle, and the calculation of the fear of Kole. Because of these three things, the female cadres took advantage of the room to make words, and the fate was similar in shape, which led to the suspicion of the court. Every time I see the name of Taizhou County, and I actually bow down, and I talk about this, I don't feel ...... rundown."

Zhao Ji hoped that Song Huan could maneuver for him and Zhao Huan, so that he and Zhao Huan could be filial to their fathers and sons, not suspicious of each other, and work together to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

In order to show his sincerity, without waiting for Zhao Huan to ask him to return to Beijing, Zhao Ji took the initiative to order all the royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty to immediately return to Beijing to live in accordance with the ancestral system, and then took the initiative to leave Chang'an and go to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

But—

To be honest, although Zhao Ji knew that he could ensure that the Zhao Song Dynasty would not be divided, that the limited strength remaining in the Zhao Song Dynasty would not be dispersed, and that the Zhao Song Dynasty would still have the strength to fight in the face of the invasion of the Great Qian Dynasty, Zhao Ji really didn't have much confidence in Zhao Huan, a son he didn't like and didn't know too much, he didn't know if Zhao Huan could understand the three things he had done before, and could he not suspect that his father had the heart of restoration?

Because he really didn't know Zhao Huan in his heart, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little uneasy along the way!

Zhao Ji, who has been an emperor, knows very well that there are some emperors who are the most ruthless, and they can do anything in order to have supreme power, such as Li Shimin, such as Li Heng.

Therefore, under the protection of Cai You and Tong Guan, Zhao Ji stopped and stopped, stopped and walked, and returned to Beijing very slowly.

When he walked to Luoyang, Xijing, Zhao Ji suddenly stopped completely, and then he wrote a letter to Zhao Huan, asking Zhao Huan to send one of Xu Churen or Wu Min to Xijing.

Zhao Huan didn't know what Zhao Ji was doing?

The other ministers didn't know what Zhao Ji was going to do?

Only Mei saluted and played: "The emperor wants two

One of the prime ministers, without him, wants to know the affairs of the court. The minister is willing to go with the same prime minister to greet him, and if he is given the right thing by the king, the minister will explain the affairs since the siege of the city, so as to relieve the doubts of the two palaces, and there will be no other worries."

Hearing this, Xu Churen stepped forward: "The minister is willing to go to greet him."

March 17.

Xu Churen and Mei Zhili carried Zhao Huan's handwritten letter, as well as the tea, medicine, silver and other items that Zhao Huan had rewarded Zhao Ji and the palace officials, and left Jingshi and went to Luoyang to meet Zhao Ji.

In order to appease Zhao Ji and trick Zhao Ji back, Zhao Huan had already sent Song Huan back to Zhao Ji under Geng Nanzhong's plan, and asked Song Huan to mediate the relationship between father and son.

After Song Huan came back, he saw that Tong Guan was still by Zhao Ji's side, and said to Zhao Ji: "When the minister left Beijing, I heard that Tong Guan was demoted to Chizhou by His Majesty, and he still hasn't done it now, why not?"

Zhao Ji wanted to intercede for Tong Guan, an important minister who had fought for him for half his life, but Zhao Ji thought that he was unable to protect himself now, where could he take care of Tong Guan?

Besides, if Tong Guan fights for some anger, their monarchs and ministers will not fall to the point of looking at Zhao Huan's faces.

Therefore, Zhao Ji talked to Tong Guan for a long time with tears, and then let Tong Guan leave on his own.

Tong Guan knew that if he left, he might face a dead end, and he regretted that he had escaped from Taiyuan at the beginning, otherwise he could at least die on the battlefield and leave a good reputation.

Tong Guan didn't struggle anymore, he had already understood that the world of the Zhao Song Dynasty was no longer Zhao Ji's, but Zhao Huan's, even if he relied on Zhao Ji's side, it would be useless.

Therefore, Tong Guan accepted Zhao Huan's punishment for him, and then bid farewell to Zhao Ji and went to Chizhou to wait for death. ….

March 18th.

Xu Churen and Mei Zhili came to Luoyang and met Zhao Ji and Empress Dowager Zheng.

As soon as they met, Empress Dowager Zheng asked Xu Churen and Mei Zhili on behalf of Zhao Ji, "Where does Your Majesty want my wife and me to live?"

Xu Churen immediately replied according to what they had discussed with Zhao Huanjun in advance: "The righteousness of the three subordinates, the Dao Monarch still resides in Longde Palace. And your highnesses are in the forbidden place, and there is no peace in the ceremony. The imperial court saw that the garden was the Ningde Palace, and the Empress was the queen of the Dao Dynasty."

When Empress Dowager Zheng heard this, she nodded slightly at Zhao Ji, as if she was saying to Zhao Ji, "Huan'er's arrangement is very reasonable."

The reason why Zhao Ji stayed in Luoyang and did not leave for a long time, and asked one of the two prime ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties to come to pick him up, was because he was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Ming Dynasty, that is, he was worried about "the affairs of the western interior".

——After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Heng took Li Longji back to Chang'an from Sichuan, and then Li Longji entered Nannei as the emperor, but Li Heng was worried about Li Longji's restoration, so he sent people to put Li Longji under house arrest until Li Longji died in a daze.

Seeing that Zhao Huan's arrangement was quite reasonable and very filial, Zhao Ji's heart was a little relaxed.

Then, Zhao Ji asked about the process of Li Cun leading his troops to besiege Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Xu Churen answered all truthfully.

After hearing this, Zhao Ji asked, "When Li Thief retired from the division, why didn't he invite an attack when Fang crossed the river?"

Mei Zhili didn't dare to say that Zhao Huan was frightened by Li Cun at that time, and he didn't dare to immediately pursue Li Cun, but only said: "The imperial court has the three emperors of Maode, Roufu, and Ningfu in the cadre army, so they are jealous."

Zhao Ji criticized: "For the sake of the sect, how can it be a woman's benevolence!"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Xu Churen and Mei Zhili both sighed in their hearts: "Daojun's generosity is unreachable!"

Subsequently, the conversation between the three became more and more harmonious.

Xu Churen and Mei Zhili are both people who advocate filial piety, especially the latter, they treat Zhao Huan with themselves, dispelling all Zhao Ji's doubts, and making Zhao Ji make up his mind to go back to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

After saying that Zhao Ji returned to Beijing, Xu Churen and Mei Zhili returned to Bianliang City, Tokyo, and told Zhao Huan all about their meeting with Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji's intentions.

Zhao Ji also wrote a very sincere letter to Zhao Huan, telling Zhao Huan that he was old and enough to be the emperor, and he just wanted to take care of his old age for the rest of his life, and he would not interfere in politics.

Seeing such a result, Zhao Huan was very happy, and he gathered a group of rulers

discussed how to welcome Zhao Ji back to Beijing.

Who would have thought, at this moment, Geng Nanzhong suddenly suggested to Zhao Huan that when Zhao Ji's frame entered the control of the forbidden army, he would immediately remove all the attendants around Zhao Ji, and ordered: Those who dare to stay will be killed!

After that, send someone to Zhao Ji and a group of royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty to see if there are any wrongdoers, and then Zhao Huan can go to meet Zhao Ji.

Mei Zhili immediately objected.

He believes that there is no need for the father and the son to be so suspicious, if they are so precautionary, it will definitely lead to the father and son falling apart and being laughed at by the world.

Geng Nanzhong insisted: "Yi said: Those who are or, doubts, the ancients were unavoidable."

Mei immediately retorted: "Although the ancients were not exempt from doubt, they were more valuable than making decisions, so the Book has doubts, and the Yi says: to judge the doubts of the world. Suspicion and incomprehension, such as the so-called thief, are not detailed." ….

Geng Nanzhong was not convinced, but still quoted scriptures to argue with Mei Zhili, and hinted to Zhao Huan that if Zhao Ji was not controlled, Zhao Ji would definitely interfere in politics, and at that time, the Zhao Song Dynasty would not be Zhao Huan's final word.

Mei Zhili said to Zhao Huan: "The reason of the world is only sincerity and suspicion, light and darkness. Honesty is clear, clarity is more sincerity, self-sincerity and clear push, can be as far as Yao Shun. Doubt is dark, dark is more suspicious, self-doubt and secret pushing, its trouble is unspeakable. Geng Nanzhong should assist His Majesty with the way of Yao Shun, but his people are secretly suspicious, and what they say is not satisfactory."

After Zhao Huan heard this, he smiled very reluctantly, while Geng Nanzhong was very angry, and turned around and went to meet Zhao Huan alone.

A few days later, Zhao Ji's car drove back to outside Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhao Huan personally led hundreds of officials to the suburbs to greet him.

After the father and son met again, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Zhao Ji took off his dragon robe, put on a jade and peach crown, and wore a golden and red robe, indicating that he was no longer an emperor, but a monk monk.

And Zhao Huan was respectful to Zhao Ji.

This scene is very warm and pleasant, with a sense of immediacy of father's love and filial piety.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji was in a very comfortable mood, and the doubts that had been in his heart for many days were swept away.

Accompanied by Zhao Huan, Zhao Ji returned to Longde Palace very smoothly.

And the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty, who escaped from Tokyo Bianliang City with Zhao Ji, also returned to Tokyo Bianliang City under the orders of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan.

- The last batch, this time also came back with Zhao Ji.

Shaanxi is poor and Zhao Ji, who is used to living a luxurious life, is really unwilling to live in Shaanxi.

This is actually one of the reasons why Zhao Ji came back.

Zhao Ji's favorite place to live in his life is actually the Longde Palace where he grew up.

When he was in Shaanxi, Zhao Ji dreamed of Longde Palace more than once.

Now that his wish has been granted, Zhao Ji knows that Longde Palace is not a comfortable nest for him at all, but a place where he is under house arrest.

It turns out -

In the end, Zhao Huan still adopted Geng Nanzhong's suggestion, and was ready to put Zhao Ji under house arrest until death, just like Li Heng put Li Longji under house arrest.

Soon, Zhao Huan deposed all the ten people around Zhao Ji, including Chen Sigong, Xiao Dao, Li Cong, and Zhang Jiandao, according to the plan he and Geng Nanzhong had formulated in advance, and none of them remained.

This is not the end, Zhao Huan also deposed the eunuchs Wang Yi and Deng Wenhe, who were extremely trusted by Zhao Ji, on the charge of "trying to separate the two palaces and spreading it in vain", and ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to interrogate the eunuch Liang Yao and others to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

At the same time, Zhao Huan sent Tan Shiji, Li Xijing and other eunuchs to take charge of Longde Palace.

Zhao Huan said to outsiders that this was to take better care of Zhao Ji, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao Huan was trying to firmly control Zhao Ji.

In this regard, Zhao Ji was naturally very sad, and he also regretted very much that he passed the throne to Zhao Huan, an unfilial son, but Zhao Ji, who had already abolished all his martial arts by Zhao Huan, could he do anything other than accept his fate?

In order to make his life better, Zhao Ji could only put down the shelves of the former emperor and the current emperor, and often rewarded Zhao Huan's cronies and eunuchs with some property.

After all, the county magistrate doesn't

If you do it now.

But Zhao Huan has never relaxed his precautions against Zhao Ji. ….

After learning that Zhao Ji liked to reward the inner servants, Zhao Huan immediately ordered Kaifeng Mansion Yin to check Zhao Ji's things, but none of them worked, and the people who were rewarded by Zhao Ji were immediately driven away by him.

Under Zhao Huan's ruthlessness, Zhao Ji was completely put under house arrest by Zhao Huan, unable to fly, and even cut off contact with the outside world.

Zhao Ji also thought about resisting, he heard that Li Cun sent Yue Fei to capture Hedong, and after he personally captured Hebei, he judged that after Li Cun fully occupied Hebei and Hedong, he would definitely come to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo again.

Therefore, Zhao Ji wrote a letter to remind Zhao Huan that Tokyo Bianliang City was not safe, and advised Zhao Huan to move the capital to Chang'an quickly, otherwise Zhao Huan would stay in Tokyo Bianliang City to govern the country, and he would go to Luoyang to help Zhao Huan manage the army.

After Wu Min heard about this, he immediately advised Zhao Huan and said: "When the emperor was in Chang'an, he had the intention of intercepting the soldiers from all roads, and now he is fortunate to return to Beijing.

In fact, Wu Min reminded him that Zhao Huan tried his best to trick Zhao Ji back, how could he let this henchman leave his sight again?

The Tianning Festival of the Zhao and Song Dynasty was Zhao Ji's birthday.

On the same day, in order to show his filial piety, Zhao Huan specially led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay tribute to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Jiman thought that this was an opportunity to change the cold relationship between their father and son.

Therefore, Zhao Ji poured two glasses of wine from a wine jug, drank one for himself first, and then picked up another glass to salute Zhao Huan.

At this time, Geng Nanzhong tiptoed to Zhao Huan's side and reminded Zhao Huan: "Be careful of poisonous wine."

When Zhao Huan heard this, he put down the wine glass and left.

When Zhao Ji saw this scene, he cried and returned to Longde Palace.

The next day, Zhao Huan ordered the yellow list to be placed in front of the Longde Palace, and the list said: "Catch those who dare to separate the two palaces, reward 3,000 yuan, and make up for Xinlang with a white body."

Since then, the relationship between Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son has completely dropped to the freezing point......
