Chapter 295: The True Mind of Emperor Daojun

Emperor Daojun did not wear a Taoist robe, but dressed up.

After Zhao Ta returned to Beijing, he heard that Lin Lingsu was reprimanded and returned to his hometown.

It was probably the time of the conquest of Wang Qing, Gyeonggi encountered a rare flood, Emperor Daojun ordered Lin Lingsu to retreat, as a result, he went to the city to pray for three days and three nights, but the water did not move at all, and after going down to the city, he was surrounded and beaten by the people who were fighting against the water.

At this time, Lin Lingsu, who has always been regarded as a living immortal, is not even as good as ordinary people, and the various spells he showed before can't be used at all, and he was chased by those conscripts who hated him to the bone and fled, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

Then he did another stupid thing, and told Emperor Daojun that this water was caused by the prince offending the heavens, and the prince had to go to the city and bow in all directions before he could retreat.

Lin Lingsu is the one who supports Zhao Kai, and it is conceivable what his intentions are.

Emperor Daojun saw that he was chased and beaten but couldn't do anything before, and he was already suspicious of him in his heart, but with the attitude of giving it a try, he let Zhao Huan go to the city, who knew that Zhao Huan only worshipped for one day, and the water really receded.

Lin Lingsu originally planned to kill two birds with one stone, if Zhao Huan can't retreat from the water, it means that God thinks he is guilty and unsuitable to be a prince again, just to give Zhao Kai a chance, and if the water retreats, it proves that he Lin Lingsu has great powers, and he can really retreat from the water after Zhao Huan.

But who the governor backfired, after the water receded, Liang Shicheng of the prince's party, and Cai Jing, who also supported Zhao Kai, joined forces to impeach him, saying that he had offended the heavens, so there was a storm of water to attack the city, so no matter how much he prayed, the water did not recede.

He moved a stone to hit himself in the foot, and he couldn't argue, and Emperor Daojun saw that he couldn't use a spell, so he was furious and drove him away.

Zhao Ta knew in his heart that this was Cai Jing's party's means to eliminate dissidents, although Cai Jing and Lin Lingsu both supported Zhao Kai, but the two actually had a grudge, Cai Jing just took this opportunity to make trouble and drove Lin Lingsu out of the court.

And Emperor Daojun was a little vigilant after Lin Lingsu left, and since then he has rarely worn Taoist robes.

Zhao Tan looked at the crown prince Zhao Huan and saw that he had gained a lot of weight, and his originally dark skin was much whiter, but his face was unnatural.

When he walked over, Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Tan with a complicated expression, obviously knowing about the relocation of King Qin.

After the ceremony, the ministers sat down, and the eunuchs announced, probably singing merit and praising virtue, merit and virtue are naturally Emperor Daojun's, as for Zhao Ta, he only mentioned it slightly at the end.

Then Emperor Daojun said a few more words, and then the music began, and the feast officially began.

First of all, the wine is on the whole, there are no outside variety, but they are all royal wine, the taste is mellow and beautiful, as for the dishes are one by one, the main dish is the end, it is a lamb fresh, the little lamb is layered on top of each other, the innermost is a big carp of the Yellow River, with a hundred years old soup, simmered over a small fire, delicious.

Some of the important ministers sitting in front of the court didn't feel these things, but the subordinate officials of the government in the distance usually rarely ate it once, after all, this kind of dish can only be made in the main store outside, and even in the main store, it is also a big dish that presses the table.

None of the three of them spoke, they didn't look at each other, they just lowered their heads to eat and drink.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, a Qingping music song and dance was finished, and the waiter ordered all the musicians and girls to withdraw from the hall.

Seeing this, the officials began to wipe the greasy on their mouths with silk handkerchiefs, and then raised their heads and looked ahead, according to the examples of such feasts in the past, they knew that this was the official family to announce the matter.

The things announced by the official family at the banquet probably did not involve military affairs, but were mainly private matters, such as the preparation for the construction of Yanfu Palace, the repair of Genyue, and the establishment of Huashigang, which were all private matters of Emperor Daojun, but they needed the support of the treasury and ministers, so they still had to be announced.

As for why it is announced at the banquet, it is because this kind of thing often causes group discussion, after all, it costs money, but everything that costs money will be opposed, even if it costs money to do the right thing, let alone private affairs.

However, at the banquet, the ministers drank the wine of the official family and ate the dishes of the official family, so it was difficult to object, after all, eating people with short mouths and short hands with people is a universal truth.

The ministers looked up at this time, guessing in their hearts what the official family was going to do, the military affairs should not be, most of them still want money, then turn a blind eye to the past, anyway, I heard that this time the King of Qi brought back a lot of silver from Huaixi, if the official family wants to spend it, even if they don't agree with the official family, they can come up with other ways.

Emperor Daojun put down his wine glass and looked at the ministers, and then turned his gaze to the three princes in the lower left.

One is the eldest son, named the crown prince, but he is not like him at all, he has no skills, he is only cautious on weekdays, but there is nothing wrong with it.

One is the second son of his in-law, named the king of Qi, how to say this, it doesn't look like it, but the poetry and articles are well done, this aspect is ...... It should still be the same, as for the ability or something, but it's big, it's just a civil and military all-rounder, but he likes to calculate everywhere, even Lao Tzu wants to calculate, which is not good.

The last one, named King Yun, this is just the same as him, no matter how he looks or acts, whether he is a scholar or a character, especially calligraphy and painting, he has a bit of charm, and he can see what he thinks in his heart, and he has never calculated him, unlike the second child, his mind is very complicated.

He wanted to change the prince for a long time, but it was not easy to change the prince, after all, the prince was not wrong, last year when the third child won the champion, he tried to show some tone in the court, which immediately aroused the opposition of Liang Shicheng and others, citing scriptures and classics, which was irrefutable.

But after all, it still has to be changed, the prince doesn't say anything like him, his temperament is simply the opposite, how can this be done!

Emperor Daojun's eyes kept rising and falling on the three of them, and finally slowly fell on Zhao Kai, the king of Yun.

How to change it is a problem, and it will be replaced directly at once, not to mention that some officials will be reluctant to oppose it, even if the world will shake, after all, this is a major event of the national foundation.

His eyes fell on Zhao Ta again, this second child said that he had never thought about the throne, and he didn't know if it was true or not, and he really couldn't see it.

But since he said that he never thought about it, let him make the first bird and test the reaction of the ministers.

Things have to come step by step, first crown the second child as the king of Qin, and attract the attention of the people in the court......

King Qin, the prince is very special, it will attract a lot of discussions, and there will be no shortage of people from top to bottom, and he will share some of the attention when changing the crown prince next.

If he suppresses all voices and seals the second king of Qin, the opposition when the crown prince is changed will be weaker.

This is a battle between the court and the court, a battle between the monarch and the minister.

He naturally wants to change Zhao Kai to the crown prince, and he should be the prince like him here!

It's just that he knows that if he wants to change the prince, Zhao Kai still lacks one thing, that is, military merit.

As long as he has military merits, Zhao Kai has the capital to be a prince.

The second child over there relied on his military merits to move to the king of Qin, and as long as Zhao Kai also has military merits here, he will be crowned the prince!

Everything is for the second child to play in the front, step by step to test it, and then give Zhao Kai to do it, which can be regarded as letting the second child give Zhao Kai a way.

Emperor Daojun didn't think there was anything wrong with him, since Zhao Kai was like him, it was natural for Zhao Kai to take over the throne.

As for Zhao Ta's temptation in front, he didn't let this son be busy in vain, Zhao Ta has great power, and his authority is even much heavier than Zhao Kai, and he has moved to the king of Qin, a very human minister, this is already the ultimate reward, these are all given by him, since the founding of Taizu, how many princes in this dynasty have this glory? It's already the emperor's grace.

As for the title of King Qin, he didn't think too much, the left and right are just a title, the system of this dynasty is different from Li Tang, not to mention that Li Shimin once laid down half of the country, and his subordinates are all arrogant soldiers, how can this be compared to the second child? The second child is just in charge of the soldiers, and he can't transfer the soldiers.

Thinking of this, Emperor Daojun smiled, looked at the ministers below and said, "I have something to announce today. ”

Although the ministers below were sitting, they bowed forward slightly, as if they were waiting to hear the hadith.

Emperor Daojun nodded with satisfaction, and said to the little eunuch next to him, Zheng Fu: "Announce the decree!" ”

Zheng Fu invited the holy decree and unfolded it respectfully, and the ministers below couldn't help but be stunned, what was announced at the banquet in the past was the private affairs of Emperor Daojun, how could there be a holy decree this time?

If there is a holy decree, it means that the matter has already involved the court, and the Daojun Emperor has already made a decision, and will not discuss it with them again, but just announce it to let them know.

Such things are rare, but they are generally not too significant, and the ministers held their breath and listened to the reading of the holy decree in front of them, but listening to the fact that many people's faces changed.

It is that those who have not drunk have become whiter, and the red of drinking has become black.

Everyone has a different mind.

This holy decree was actually given to the second prince Jin to be the king of Qin?

Although in the eyes of Emperor Daojun or Zhao Ta, this is a relocation, after all, it is a different name, and it is the same as Yu Lu or something.

But in the eyes of the ministers, this is Jin Feng, after all, the King of Jin can't be sealed, then the King of Qin is the head of the kings.

And this King of Qin...... No matter who heard the word King Qin in the audience, he thought that it was none other than Li Shimin, the Zhenguan Emperor of the previous dynasty, and the changes in Xuanwumen.

The Daqing Hall is full of people who read poetry and books, even if it is the military attachΓ©, the military attache of the Great Song Dynasty also reads books one by one in order to compete with the civil officials, and there is no one who does not know about it.

For a while, the hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Emperor Daojun sat on it with an old god presence, which was exactly the effect he wanted.

It's good to be shocked, it's good to be suspicious, it's better to stand up and oppose it, and if you suppress this opposition, it will be much smoother when you change the crown prince next time.

He opened his mouth and said: "The king of Qi has made great achievements in recovering Huaixi, and he should be rewarded and encouraged, but he is already in the first grade, and there is no seal, so I have decided to move to the king of Qin!" ”

There is no seal, what a seal is unsealable!

Zhao Ta thought to himself, your old man is determined to push me to the forefront? Put it on a blazing fire to roast? Even if I make trouble in Fan Lou, you old man won't stop? Even if Zhao Kai is provoked to persuade him, he won't change his mind?

What do you want to do?

Didn't you want to change the crown prince?

There is no other explanation! Zhao Ta thought to himself, except for pushing him up, pushing him to the front, and then secretly operating to change the crown prince, nothing else can be explained!

After all, no emperor wants to find uncomfortable, set up a second son as the king of Qin, his expedition to Huaixi is not without anything else to seal, military merits are twelve turns, meritorious service to the pillar country, it's not impossible, anyway, the commanders of the Great Song Dynasty are all virtual, and no one even mentions it on weekdays.

This is what he originally thought, but he didn't expect to be crowned the king of Qin when he came back, so there is only this one explanation.

But since he was pushed out first, then it was definitely not to make him the prince, abolish Zhao Huan, and not set him up, then it could only be Zhao Kai.

But this matter is still a little something, Zhao Kai's capital is not enough, just having a champion name is not enough to be a prince.

If Wen can be the champion, Wu can ......

The corners of Zhao Ta's mouth twitched, isn't this just a lack of military merit? No wonder before going to Huaixi, Emperor Daojun said that he wanted Zhao Kai to go to Tianhu next, and it turned out that this was the idea.

If Zhao Kai can pacify Tian Hu, it will be almost the same, plus most of the officials in the court and the central government support him, and his side has shared the attention in advance, and the matter of changing the crown prince should be achieved.

It's just that Zhao Huan will be miserable at that time, as for his own family, he was used as a gun all the way, if Emperor Daojun has been in power, it is fine, if Emperor Daojun is gone, Zhao Kai will ascend to the pole, even if his own great achievements are, I am afraid that he will be liquidated by these three brothers.

Zhao Ta thought to himself, is it really good for the old man to be so eccentric? It seems a bit excessive!

At this time, he should have stood up and thanked him, after all, the holy decree was also read, the Daojun Emperor also spoke, and the eyes in the hall also looked over.

But Zhao Ta didn't move, squinting, looking like he was drunk and unawake, as if he didn't notice what was happening in the outside world at all.

Zheng Fu hurriedly went over and reminded in a low voice: "Lord Wang, it's time to thank you." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ta immediately shook his head when he heard this, and then stood up and looked at the ministers with a stunned expression.

Zheng Fu had originally served Zhao Tan, but at this time, he was naturally anxious, and said in a low voice: "The official family has moved the king of Qin to the prince, and the prince is grateful quickly." ”

Zhao Ta seemed to come back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly looked at Emperor Daojun, seeing that Emperor Daojun had a calm face and was looking at him unhappily.

He hurriedly saluted, but before he could say thank you, he heard a voice from the hall: "Official, the minister thinks it's inappropriate to give the second prince the title of King of Qin!" ”

Zhao Ta was stunned when he heard this, and Emperor Daojun over there also pretended to frown, what he was waiting for was that someone objected, and the more people, the better.

Then he tried his best to disagree that he must move the second child to the king of Qin, and when the prince is renamed next time, the resistance will be much smaller.

Everyone in the hall looked at the sound, because the holy decree was read before, and the hall was very quiet, and the sound was not small, so it was very easy to find.

At a glance, everyone found the person who spoke from the last seat of the court official's case, and this person also stood up at this moment.

The table seats in the main hall are arranged according to the first court officials and then the Beijing officials.

So even if this person sat at the end of the court official table, the Daojun Emperor, Zhao Ta and others in front of him could also see it clearly.

I saw that the official who spoke out was not very old, but he was born upright, his eyes were bright, his face was white, his nose was straight, and he was wearing a green robe.

Those who wear green robes are seventh-grade and below, and the celebration banquet can only be attended by a minimum of seventh-grade, so it is obvious that this person is a seventh-grade official.

Emperor Daojun said with a cold face at this time: "Qin Hui, what are you going to say!" ”
