Chapter 746: Let the people of the world judge
After staying a few times, Emperor Taizong was able to keep Kyoto in order when Emperor Taizu went out to fight.
Liu E glanced at Zhao Zhen and continued: "Since then, your imperial grandfather has held a certain amount of military power, and later he was appointed as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion. You also know that since the previous dynasty, to your father's generation, as long as the prince is in charge, he is basically the crown prince. ”
Taizong first held military power, and then involved political power.
Gradually, it has its own power.
On the night of October 19, the ninth year of Kaibao, Emperor Taizu Emperor Xuan Taizong entered the palace to eat and drink.
Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the second day, the news of the death of Emperor Taizu came out, and on the 21st, Zhao Guangyi, who was the king of Jin at that time, quickly succeeded to the throne.
"What's in between, I'm afraid only Emperor Taizong himself knows. Since then, this throne has been in your vein. However, when I met your father, Emperor Taizu's grandson Zhao Weiji contacted the courtiers and asked Emperor Taizong to return the throne to him. ”
Now that Zhao Weiji's son has launched this mutiny, I am afraid that this is also the reason.
Zhao Zhen nodded.
It was precisely because Zhao Shoulian confessed that he shouted to return the throne during the trial of the three divisions that he would come here.
"You don't have to think about it, now the country is getting better and better under your governance, and the people of this world don't really care about who sits on the throne, as long as they can be fed and clothed. If Your Majesty has concerns, you might as well let the people of the world choose, whether to return the throne to Emperor Taizu, or let you continue to be the emperor. ”
Liu E said very slowly.
Zhao Zhen listened to every word.
He had to admire her pattern and courage.
Let the people of the world choose!
Returning to the palace from the Kyoto Palace, Zhao Zhen stayed in Tianzhang Pavilion for another day, and resumed the court the next day.
I can think of what the court will quarrel about this Zhao Shoulian when the court will meet.
Sure enough, the next day in the court, there was no difference between the ministers of the court and the big-mouthed long-tongued women.
The noisy one was called ugly, and there were even a few direct fights.
Zhao Zhen was very calm in his heart, but he was still very angry on his face: "You are ministers of the court, how can you be as ridiculous as a vulgar woman." Come on, pull them down, each hit ten boards, and increase their memory. ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty forgives your sins, and we are also for ......"
"For what, I know very well in my heart."
Zhao Zhen looked coldly at the few people who were fighting, stood up and said, "Don't you want to know what I want to do with Zhao Shoulian." Okay, now I will announce that I will make the truth about this uprising public, and let the people of the world judge. If the people feel that I should abdicate, then I will give him the throne. ”
"Your Majesty, no!"
"Your Majesty think twice!"
"Your Majesty......"
The courtiers fell to their knees in an uproar, and they all shouted for His Majesty to think twice.
"I have made up my mind, and three days later, outside the Xuande Gate, Zhao Shoulian will be openly tried by the three divisions, so that the onlookers can speak freely."
December 12, outside the Xuande Gate.
The people who got the news came before dawn, and Zeng Shengji led nearly a thousand Su guards to maintain order in Xuande Gate.
Only the 600 people in front of the queue were allowed to enter, and the rest had to wait outside the Xuande Gate.
It didn't make the people wait long.
Zhao Zhen, who was wearing a red court robe, came to Xuande Gate in a dragon ride.
"The ministers (grass people) see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"
"Flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Many people were thrilled to see the face of the saint for the first time.
In the past few years, the national strength has been growing day by day, and the conscription is getting younger and younger every year, and their lives are much better!
Li Jizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, looked at His Majesty, and saw His Majesty nodding, so he said loudly: "Bring the prisoner Zhao Shoulian up." ”
After finishing speaking, he sat down not far in front of Zhao Zhen.
In the imperial history, King Gongchen and Zhao Zhen, the current manager of Dali Temple, temporarily let Gu Qingjue, the prince of Bohai County, serve as the two of them, one on the left and one on the right.
Zhao Shoulian was escorted up, looking not embarrassed. Because Zhao Zhen specially informed the Criminal Department that he could not be abused.
Zhao Shoulian stood there unconvinced.
But the people behind him couldn't help it, and Ku Wu didn't have anything to smash people in his hands, so he could only spit.
But how far can you spit out saliva.
A lot of it was spit on the Su Guards who were now maintaining order.
Okay, since you can't spit, it's okay to scold him.
"It's this man-made rebellion, how many people died in one night, and the blood on the street has not been wiped clean until now."
"I heard that he is a child of the royal family, bah, even a person like him who is selfish and doesn't care about the lives of the people deserves to sit in that position."
"No, I've heard that there are quite a few people following."
"It's good that we're all dead, but it's hurt us, my family didn't come home in time, and was slashed by the rebels, and I still can't lift my arm."
"Hey, why don't you see anyone else, just him?"
"You don't know this, today's rebellion is not to judge the rebellion that night, but the official family is talking about an old thing in front of the people of the world, let us all judge it!"
"How do you know so much?"
"That is, the elder brother of my uncle's family is an official in the two mansions."
Li Jizhi looked at Zhao Shoulian and said: "Since you feel that you are not wrong in this uprising, then tell everything and let the people of the world make a decision, whether there is anything wrong or not." ”
"People all over the world, I'm afraid these people are specially found by you to sing!"
"These people are the most ordinary people who waited here early after His Majesty made the reason for your rebellion public three days ago, and knew that the case would be tried in Xuandemen today."
Gu Qingjue said: "This is very fair and just. ”
Zhao Shoulian looked at Gu Qingjue with disdain: "Fair and just? He is now the emperor, there are thousands of guards here, even if the people support the return of the throne to orthodoxy, but a few dare to speak out. I'm afraid that if I really say it, my life will be gone! ”
That disdainful look was not painful for Gu Qingjue.
"When you say this, you just want to provoke, but the hearts of the people are bright, the world is the world of the people of the world, and the people can still have the final say on who sits in this position."
After Gu Qingjue finished speaking, Zhao Zhen said: "The Su Guards listened to the order, put down their weapons, and left quickly." ”
Fudge, who was waiting on the side, shouted worriedly, "Your Majesty, this ......"
"It doesn't matter."
Zhao Zhen asked himself if he had been diligent in the past 20 years, even if he could not be regarded as a holy monarch, but he would not make the people hate him.
Regarding Zhao Zhen's actions, Zhao Shoulian couldn't believe it.
Without the Su Guards to maintain order, he is really not afraid of so many people making trouble?
When he came over just now, he saw that there were still many people outside the Xuande Gate!
"Alright, now you can talk about your army."
