Zhao Hong was angry, and several ruling ministers were solemn, and no one dared to speak out anymore.

"Immediately issued an order, the Zhao brothers to the end, and returned to their hometown to reflect. Didn't Zhao Kui have 4 white tigers at home, let him go back and play with his tigers. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Xuan Xuan, his eyes were like torches.

"Xuanqing, kill what should be killed, and what should be closed. The 5,000 Tianxiong Army was scattered and integrated into the armies of the two roads south of the Yangtze River, no problem, right? ”

"Obey! Do your best! ”

Xuanyi's forehead was sweating, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Zhao Hong's move to kill chickens and monkeys is to revive the imperial power. The Zhao brothers thought that it was the past, but it could be said that they had touched the edge of the knife.

Many ministers in the court have the same thoughts as the Zhao brothers, and if they still want to suppress the king, they are afraid that something big will happen.

Seeing that Zhao Hong's face looked better, Zhen Dexiu continued to report.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Guicheng, the king of Ji, sentenced Ningguo County, and the Yiwang Mansion has no heirs. Your Majesty, is it possible to choose another child from the clan and pass it on to the Yiwang Mansion? ”

The new emperor is resolute, but it seems to be too domineering.

"I'll ask the old princess first and see what she means."

Zhao Hong nodded. The first line of King Yi is the heir of the first emperor Zhao Kuo and King Zhao Luan, or let this lineage be passed on and cannot be broken.

"Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and there is only one Zhou in the harem. His Majesty should canonize the Zhou family, choose another beautiful woman, and enrich the harem. ”

The proposal of the governor Zhen Dexiu, but it reached Zhao Hong's heart.

Yang Guizhi, who is the queen mother, almost disappeared, hidden in the harem Cining Palace, and lived in a simple place. And Kunning Palace, the harem where Yang Guizhi originally lived, has been occupied by the newcomer Zhou Xiuniang.

As the prince's mother, Zhou Xiuniang entered the palace, and she couldn't even have a rank, and the palace people were not easy to call.

"Do you have a resolution?"

Zhao Hong asked softly.

When Jin Deok-so said this, the four ministers must have already had an idea.

"Your Majesty, the Zhou family gave birth to a prince, and he can be named Zhaoyi, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"

Sure enough, Prime Minister Xue Ji followed and spoke.

The rank of the concubines of the Great Song Dynasty, the first is the wife, that is, the queen, the head of the harem, and she is extremely noble.

The second rank is the four concubines, the noble concubine, the Shu concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine. Sometimes a concubine is set up, and her status is above that of a concubine. Sometimes the emperor does not have a queen, and the four concubines have a transcendent status and are highly respected.

The third rank is the nine concubines, which are actually seventeen concubines, what Guiyi, Shuyi, Shurong, Shunyi, Shunrong, Wanyi, Wanrong, Zhaoyi, etc., Zhaoyi, who Zhou Xiuniang wants to be canonized, is among them.

As soon as Zhou Xiuniang entered the palace, she was named the third rank, which is not low.

When Empress Dowager Yang Guizhi entered the palace, she was only named Jieyu of the fourth rank. In contrast, Zhou Xiuniang's mother is expensive with her son, and as soon as she comes in, she is third-class, and the ministers give enough face.

"The canonization of Zhou Zhaoyi has worked hard for you. As for enriching the harem, it is still the period of state mourning, so it is not appropriate to talk about this matter with great fanfare, so let's discuss it later. ”

There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, that's not the blessing of all people, that's playing with life.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Yang Yi for a long time.

I used to feel as if I was using Yang Yi, but Yang Guizhi chose to oppose him during the palace change, and he suddenly felt a lot better.

"Your Majesty ascended the throne, and Princess Yi and Mrs. Anguo are Your Majesty's heirs, and they should be promoted."

Zhen Deok so continued to solve problems for Zhao Hong.

Mrs. Anguo is Princess Yu of Yi and Zhao Guicheng's heir. Zhao Hong passed to Princess Yi at the age of three, and grew up in the Yi Mansion for thirteen or four years.

"Zhenqing said bluntly."

The Yu family is lonely, and as an heir, Zhao Hong is also pleased.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Anguo can be named Mrs. Rongguo, reward money and goods, and announce it to the world, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?"

Zhen Dexiu looked at Zhao Hong, and stopped talking.

Zhu Qing just looked at it. Filial piety is important in the heart, and I don't care how much money and power are rewarded. ”

Zhao Hong is a bachelor. These false titles are harmless, but they can be a favor.

"Your Majesty, the prince ......"

"A baby that is more than half a year old, the first emperor has been rewarded, what kind of grace do you want, just grow up happily."

Zhao Hong interrupted Xue Ji's words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else going on?"

The dignified ministers of the court, talking about these trivial things all day long, although it is the duty, but isn't it annoying?

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of Emperor Gaozong's troubled years, he still admired the Empress Dowager Cining, and was always extremely filial; May Your Majesty take Gaozong as the law. ”

Xue Ji said it carefully.

The edict deposed the crown prince, pushed the heir of King Yi Zhao Guicheng to succeed to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Yang and Zhao Hong were no wonder if they had no knots.

The Great Song Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and if the relationship between the two was stiffened, Zhao Hong and Yang Guizhi would be ridiculed by the world.

"I know. Xue Qing, Xuanqing, you can go to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother first, and I will go later. After the New Year's Day, it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and you will all go to congratulate it at that time. ”

Zhao Hong smiled coldly, understanding what Xue Ji meant.

In any case, Yang Guizhi is his "queen mother", and it is time for him to go and see the titular Empress Dowager Yang.

Yang Guizhi, the palace was so tough on the day, if she changed her course in the main hall, everything would be complete. Is it bad to enjoy old age in peace? Do you have to depose yourself and hate him so much?

But as long as Yang Guizhi can be a little tougher and withstand Shi Miyuan's pressure, he will be respectful to the queen mother and pretend that his grandson doesn't care.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Several ministers were relieved. Only when the emperor and the empress dowager get along well can the court be stable.

"The matter of usurping and plotting against us should be stopped, so as not to shake the world and make the government and the opposition uneasy. In terms of its essence, whether it is the usurpation of the establishment or the intercession of the Zhao brothers for Zheng Qingzhi, they all regard our Great Song Emperor as nothing, and the imperial power is weak. ”

Zhao Hong smiled at the corner of his lips and said eloquently, Zhen Dexiu and the others were all frightened, and their foreheads were sweating.

"The court discussed Peng Yibin's return to Shandong, Shi Mi Yuanyang disobeyed Yin, but there was no follow-up. In the second year of Kaixi, the first emperor issued an edict to pursue the prince of Qin Hui and change his ugliness. In the first year of Jiading, Shi Miyuan restored Qin Hui's title of King Shen and his title of loyalty. In the eyes of the ministers, is there still a king of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"The ministers are terrified, and the ministers are guilty!"

Xue Ji stood up with Zhen Dexiu and the others, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.

The imperial power was weakened, the power was dominant, the scholars controlled the government, and the emperor was trapped in the palace and became a real loner.

"Get up."

Zhao Hong stood up and stepped forward and helped several people up one by one.

"Zhengong, you played before, and said that the new Sichuan system made Zheng lose a lot of money. Is that really the case? ”

Zheng Zheng, the change of Dinghai in history, the Mongolian army slaughtered in Shukou, and the Sichuan military and civilian casualties were hundreds of thousands, which was given by this king.

He didn't know that the Chuzhou rebellion had already happened, and the lesson of Xu Guo had happened. If he had known about this, he would have replaced Zheng Zheng long ago.

"This ......"

Zhen Dexiu and Xue Ji looked embarrassed and divided.

"Xue Xiang, this is a state affair, it is a matter of the safety of the imperial court, and the lives of the people. No perfunctory prevarication! ”

Zhao Hong looked at Prime Minister Xue Ji and sighed heavily.

Zheng Zheng was appointed as the envoy of the Sichuan system, a military and political dignitary, and he had not yet ascended the throne at that time. Shi Miyuan made a choice, he had to be cautious.

Historically, both Jin and Mongolia invaded from Shukou. Such a critical place must not fall to a nerd who can only talk about it.

"Your Majesty, all matters in the DPRK and China are decided by the Prime Minister of History, and Zheng Zheng is decided by the Prime Minister of History, and the ministers can only act according to orders."

Xue Ji smiled bitterly, but Zhao Hong knew it.

Even if the ministers don't mention it, he will take Zheng Zheng down.

"Miki", sure enough, is just like a puppet, doing things respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zheng's ruling party is mostly local civil servant and does not know about side affairs. The position of Sichuan envoy is irreversible, please be cautious! ”

Zhen Deok-so gritted his teeth and said it aloud.

He's now the ruling minister, and the ass decides the head. If he is vague, something will happen in the future, and the emperor will be held accountable, and he will not be able to get involved.

The defense of Shukou is related to the country, and it is not easy to take it lightly.

"Your Majesty, although Zheng Zheng has not brought the army and lacks side affairs, he has just been in office for less than a year, and there is nothing wrong with it. If Your Majesty hastily replaces it, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the whole world. ”

Hu Yu stepped forward and said, with a smile on his face, cautious.

"People of the world? It's just a few selfish doctors! Nothing wrong? If something really goes wrong, it's too late to cry! It is great to make up for the dead. I'm not afraid of gossip! ”

The three ministers were not optimistic about Zheng Zheng, and Zhao Hong quickly made a decision.

"Zhongqing, who can serve as the envoy of Sichuan?"

"Your Majesty, Sichuan Mention Prison Zhao Yanna has a clear reputation, and the Sichuan people love him, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"

Xue Ji and the others muttered in a low voice, and Hu Yu hesitated to play.

"Zhao Yanna, no!"

Xuan Xuan said categorically:

"Your Majesty, the former Sichuan envoy Cui He once said that Zhao Yanna's words are untrue and cannot be used, please do not pay for side affairs. Your Majesty still chooses another meritorious. ”

Another scholar who only knew empty talk, Zhao Hong snorted coldly in his nostrils.

"Your Majesty, Cui has been in charge of Sichuan for five years, honest and self-reliant, and has made remarkable achievements. The imperial court summoned Cui to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he resigned three times and resolutely returned to Guangdong. On the occasion of leaving Shu, officials from all walks of life gave each other beautiful brocade and strange jade, and the gifts were even more considerable, but Cui and one of them politely refused and did not take any points. After returning to Guangzhou, he lived in seclusion and no longer cared about political affairs. ”

Zhen Deok so praised Cui He, but it seems to remind Zhao Hong that it may not be so easy to enable Cui He.

"So, is Cui up to the task?"

Zhao Hong's gaze turned to several ministers.

Cui You, a poet in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, is somewhat famous, but he can't imagine that he is still a cadre.

"Your Majesty, Cui He is good at financial management, prospering all industries, pacifying the people, and buying a large number of war horses in Jinxia, so that Sichuan military and political coordination, soldiers and food are sufficient, and the people are rich. Shi Mi saw that the situation in Shuzhong was stable, so he sent Zheng Yi to replace him, in order to damage the Great Wall himself. ”

Xue Ji's words made Zhao Hong shake his head and hate.

"It's this old thief again!"

It's Shi Miyuan again, an old thief who abolished his public for personal gain!

"Prepare an edict to let Cui go north with him and take up the post of Sichuan system envoy. Tell him that if he does not come to take office, the taxes of the Canton government will be tripled, and the city and treaty ports will be closed. ”

Zhao Hong's words made the eyes of several ministers widen.

The emperor's method is not only despicable, but also shameless.

If Cui He does not go to Sichuan to take office, he will be the enemy of the entire Guangzhou father. Can he not come? Does he dare not come?

"Huaidong system envoy Xu Guo, is there a report?"

Zhao Hong's brows wrinkled again unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, it's New Year's Day, and the New Year's Day hasn't passed yet, and the local officials are on vacation. Huaidong's recital, I'm afraid it will have to wait for the Yuan Xi Festival. ”

Xue Ji's words made Zhao Hong relax slightly.

It's best that the old things of history are not repeated. It seems that Xu Guo is not so unbearable.

What he didn't know was that Xu Guo was just as good as in history, but time had passed a little.

"The next edict is to Xu Guo, asking him to appease Li Quan, not to withhold the money and food of the loyal army, and not to spoil the court's plan."

The Great Song Dynasty is in ruins, and there is only room for development from time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the national strength is lacking, the royal family is weak, the soldiers are slack, the foreign enemy is flourishing, and the tiger is eyeing each other, and my Great Song Dynasty is at the time of life and death. Zhuqing wants to work with me to rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty and be an example of the Ming Dynasty and good ministers through the ages. ”

"The ministers will do their best to share the worries of Your Majesty."

Zhao Hong's words, let a few people together, all bow and salute.

Appointing cadres and eliminating inferior officials, the emperor is resolute and resolute, which can be a bright monarch.
