Chapter 125: Ask the Empress Dowager to Remove the Curtain (2-in-1)
"No harmony, no compensation, no land, no coins, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies."
The hundred officials couldn't help but be shocked, and suddenly stared at the resolute young emperor on the dragon chair, all along, all the courtiers were attached to the Empress Dowager Gao, and subconsciously ignored Zhao Xu, only recently Zhao Xu has emerged.
They originally thought that Zhao Xu was the same as the emperors of previous dynasties, but they didn't expect him to be so strong.
"No coins, no land!" The hundred officials felt bitter in their hearts.
The Great Song Dynasty is orthodox in China, and he thinks that the Celestial Empire is the upper kingdom, how can he be willing to suffer the humiliation of Liaoxia, and Zhao Xu's arrogant words are not what he thinks in his heart.
However, the situation is stronger than people, and the two countries of Liaoxia are in a mess, and the Great Song Dynasty has to suffer this humiliation every year.
"The year is ashamed, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed, drive a long car, and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughs and thirsts for Hun blood, and waits to start from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. ”
Just when all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by Zhao Xu's arrogant words, another sad and generous young man's voice sounded in the court.
"Good poetry!"
Even in such a solemn atmosphere of the court, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty still couldn't help but be shocked by the half-rhymed poems.
"It's ...... The lower half of the red man. Su Shi couldn't help but be shocked.
When Fan Zheng wrote the half-rhyme "Man Jianghong", he saw it with his own eyes, and now he has finally made up for the second half, which still makes his blood boil and does not disappoint him.
"Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. ”
All the officials are extraordinary people, and these two sentences alone made their hearts surge, and a general like Huo Quai's illness and Wei Qing appeared in front of them, expelling Hu Lu and sealing the wolf Juxu.
To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, towards the sky! It is also complementary to Zhao Xu's son of heaven guarding the country, and the king's death and society.
"The dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying. The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified. ”
The hundred officials couldn't help but think in their hearts that Fan Zheng's young Song said that today's officials and Fan Zheng are like hidden dragons and milk tigers, and the first time they tried their minions, the court was shaken.
"Fan Zheng!"
Baiguan looked at the only two teenagers in the court.
A monarch and a minister, all have pride and ambition, which makes the princes of the Manchu Dynasty ashamed.
"The official family has the ambition to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, and we as courtiers why should we be sorry for this, Weichen Fan Zheng is willing to follow the official family to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, Pingxi Xia, recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and complete the unfulfilled wish of Taizu Taizong." Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"Fan Zheng!"
Seeing Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu singing and harmonizing, Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but be angry.
I had to use Fan Zheng because of Fan Zheng's medical skills, but I didn't expect Fan Zheng to disobey her again and again.
"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies."
With her understanding of Zhao Xu, she will definitely not be able to think of such a good sentence, and it must be from the hands of the talented Fan Zheng.
"In the end, the official family was bewitched by the evil doctor Fan Zheng."
Zhao Tingzhi was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately knew that Fan Zheng had angered the Empress Dowager, and it was time to fall into the ground.
At that moment, Zhao Tingzhi came out and said: "The two countries are powerful, and they are embarrassed, if they send troops at the same time, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, and the official family is pure and filial, it must be bewitched by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, so there is such a contradiction, and the minister implores the Empress Dowager to severely punish him and expel him from the court." ”
"Fan Zheng, what crime should you be guilty of bewitching the official family?" Empress Dowager Gao said sharply.
Fan Zheng has been disobedient to her many times recently, first opposing the amnesty of the world, which made her greatly embarrassed, and now encouraging the official family to oppose the New Year's coin, which has made her already hold a grudge.
"The Empress Dowager is angry, I can't punish the doctor, how can I be convicted for my words."
"The official family has the ambition of Lingyun, and Fan Zheng also has the heart of loyalty to the country, and he has not violated any laws, how can he be convicted."
Fan Chunren and Fan Chunli hurriedly came out to plead, the third child is just this one son, how can he not save him.
When Fan Zheng heard this, he laughed wildly: "The Liao Kingdom of Western Xia has been bullied, Zhao Zhongcheng not only does not want to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, but wants to attack the people who are determined to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Measure the material resources of the Song Dynasty and tie the hearts of Liaoxia."
When Zhao Tingzhi heard this, his body suddenly trembled and staggered, and Fan Zheng's words almost ruined the name he was proud of.
The faces of the hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty also changed, and as soon as Fan Zheng said this, if anyone agrees to transfer the New Year's coins again, he will definitely be pointed out by Qianfu.
Zhao Tingzhi said hatefully: "Revitalize the Great Song Dynasty? It's not Fan Zheng who bewitches the official family to change the law! This is the good intentions of slandering the Empress Dowager to seek perfection, the evil doctor Fan Zheng is acting evilly, bewitching the official family, slandering the Empress Dowager, this is a great disrespectful crime, and the minister implores to kill this bureaucracy and punish him with canonical punishment. ”
Zhao Tingzhi knew that after today, he would definitely be discredited, but he didn't care at all, today he wanted to take this opportunity to put Fan Zheng to death and avenge his son.
"I see who dares! Fan Taicheng was loyal to the country and dedicated to the revitalization of the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Zhongcheng actually slandered him, which was a crime of framing loyalty. Zhao Xu scolded angrily when he heard this, and tried his best to protect Fan Zhengdao.
Zhao Ting said with a sad and indignant look: "The official family is still young, and he was deceived by Fan Zheng's advocacy of changing the law, so his heart is towards him, but the traitorous minister Wang Anshi changed the law during the first emperor's time, and the anger and resentment of the people are still in front of him, and the official family is still in front of him. ”
Fan Zheng sneered: "What about changing the law? Fan has never denied the ambition to change the law and become strong. Shang Ying changed the law, the Great Qin unified Liuhe, Li Kui changed the law, and the Wei State swept the Quartet. Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, Zhao Guobei attacked the barbarians, and shocked the world. ”
Hundreds of officials were silent, and everyone knew that the law was changed to be strong, but the two changes in the Great Song Dynasty ended in failure.
Fan Zheng looked around, where did he not know what the hundred officials thought in their hearts, and said with a tragic smile at the moment: "The law changes in the past dynasties have never been bloodless, Shang Ying's car was cracked, Li Kui committed suicide, King Zhao Wuling starved to death, and the two changes in the Great Song Dynasty have not heard of those who shed blood due to the change, this is the reason why the Great Song Dynasty is not prosperous, if there is, please self Fan Zhengqi." ”
The ministers were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Fan Zheng to be so strong, the official family had already interceded for him, but Fan Zheng still took the initiative to ask for death, no wonder Li Kefei did not agree to the marriage of Li Qingzhao and Fan Zheng at the beginning, it seemed to be prescient.
"Okay, the mourning family will fulfill you!" Empress Dowager Gao said angrily.
Fan Zheng was not afraid when he heard this, and looked directly at the Empress Dowager Gao and shouted: "Before the minister died, there was only one word, the Empress Dowager was already dying, and the official family was young but had the ambition of Lingyun, so that the Great Song Dynasty could be saved when it was in danger, and the Empress Dowager was asked to remove the curtain, let the official family pro-government, and revitalize the Great Song Dynasty." ”
As soon as Fan Zheng said this, it was like a thunderbolt exploding above the court, and everyone was shocked.
Fan Chunren suddenly closed his eyes in pain, if Fan Zheng didn't say this, he would definitely do his best to keep the bloodline for the third brother, but at this moment Fan Zheng not only couldn't keep it, maybe it would also involve the Fan family.
Zhao Ting's heart was overjoyed, no one thought that Fan Zheng would jump off the wall in a hurry and say something rebellious, this time, he not only wanted Fan Zheng to die, but also pulled the entire Fan family into the water, so that the Fan family would never have a future.
The courtiers also looked at Fan Zheng, who was not afraid of tigers with newborn calves, the official family had reached the age of pro-government, but the Empress Dowager Gao held on to the power, and no one in the court dared to speak, and now someone finally said openly above the court.
At this moment, Su Shi, who was originally being impeached, came out again.
Everyone originally thought that it was still for Fan Zheng to intercede, but they heard Su Shi say solemnly: "The Empress Dowager of Qiqi, the official family is eighteen years old, she is already an adult, the harem is happy, there are successors to the Great Song Dynasty, and Weichen is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. ”
Su Shi already had a problem with resentment, he couldn't get used to the fact that the Great Song Dynasty groveled to send New Year's coins to Liao, and was inspired by Zhao Xu and Fan Zheng's bold words, so he couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out.
Moreover, what he said is reasonable and well-founded, according to the royal courtesy, the Empress Dowager Gao should have withdrawn the curtain and returned to power.
"Ahh
Suddenly, he was shocked again, and looked at Su Shi in shock.
Everyone didn't expect that Su Shi would follow Fan Zheng and also ask Empress Dowager Gao to remove the curtain.
"Bold, it is the will of the first emperor to listen to the empress dowager, and it is a great disrespect to persecute the empress dowager." Zhao Ting panicked in his heart, if he really let the official family take charge of the government, not only would he not be able to help Fan Zheng, but he would lose his biggest backer.
Zhao Xu suddenly got up, and bowed solemnly to the Empress Dowager Gao: "The imperial grandmother is entrusted by her father to listen to the government and assist her grandson, and now that the grandson has grown up, please also ask the imperial grandmother to enjoy her old age in peace, and the burden of the world will be handed over to me to bear!" ”
In an instant, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stared at Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Gao, and no one thought that the forced palace would come so suddenly.
Zhao Tingzhi trembled, Zhao Xu personally forced the palace, and easily resolved the great disrespect he listed.
"The Empress Dowager raised the official family, is this how the official family is filial piety to the Empress Dowager?" Zhao Tingzhi was now desperate, and immediately grabbed Zhao Xu's handle and fought back.
The Great Song Dynasty governed the country with benevolence and filial piety, when the Empress Dowager Liu had been in control of the government, Renzong waited until he was twenty-three years old to pro-government, that is, in the name of concern for benevolence and filial piety, Zhao Xu took the initiative to force the Empress Dowager Gao, which was indeed against the righteousness of unfilial piety.
Zhao Xu said proudly: "Now that the two countries of Liaoxia are bullying people too much, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't turn a blind eye, and then who says that I am not filial?" The Empress Dowager enjoyed her old age in peace, and I will personally serve the left and right in order to fulfill my filial piety. ”
Zhao Xu and Fan Zheng had already discussed countermeasures to dispel the accusation of unfilial piety.
Empress Dowager Gao's face turned pale, and she said angrily: "The Great Song Dynasty finally has a chance to breathe, how can it allow Er to wait for chaos to bury the Great Song Dynasty and Tong Guan, and invite the official family to rest." ”
As long as Zhao Xu is not above the court, she can do her best to clean up Fan Zheng and Su Shi.
However, as soon as Empress Dowager Gao's voice fell, she did not get a response from Tong Guan, and the eyes of the hundred officials shrank, noticing a trace of abnormality.
"Tong Guan! Do you dare to betray the mourning family? Empress Dowager Gao shouted angrily.
Tong Guan bowed and said: "The Empress Dowager, the servants are the first emperor's hand-picked officials to serve the official family, and the allegiance from beginning to end is the official family, not only the slaves, all the eunuchs in the palace have only one object of allegiance, that is, the current official family, this is the mission of our servants to enter the palace." ”
Zhao Xu and Fan Zheng glanced at each other, just as Fan Zheng used the future of the Chinese medicine hospital to win over the doctors, Zhao Xu used the future of his emperor to win over the people in the palace, whether to be loyal to the official family who has become an adult, or the Empress Dowager Gao, who is already dying, it is not difficult to choose.
"It's the other way around, it's all the other way around! Where are the Ouchi guards? Empress Dowager Gao roared angrily.
In an instant, a group of internal guards poured into the vertical arch hall, and the faces of the hundred officials changed, and no one expected that things would evolve to this point.
"See the official family!"
A group of guards stood up and bowed solemnly to Zhao Xu.
Empress Dowager Gao's face changed, she didn't expect Zhao Xu to even be bribed by the palace guards.
Baiguan looked at Zhao Xu on the dragon chair solemnly, no one thought that Zhao Xu would have such a means.
Fan Zheng sneered in his heart, when they changed the law and bowed, they deliberately approached the palace guards, and now it has finally worked, plus they took the initiative to force the palace, so they naturally made all preparations.
"Stand down!"
Zhao Xu waved his hand, and the guards immediately withdrew from the main hall.
In an instant, the ministers looked at Zhao Xu with a little more awe, and the officials with such means might really be able to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Xu turned around and looked at the ministers, and solemnly bowed: "Now Liaoxia is approaching step by step, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, you are the father and the emperor entrusted to the lonely ministers, today I have grown up, I am the monarch and the ministers are single-minded, revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, no longer be bullied by Liaoxia, and ask you Aiqing to help me!"
"The official family should be in charge of the government, and ask the Empress Dowager to remove the curtain!"
Su Zhe stepped forward and took the lead in responding.
Su Zhe seems to be decisive, but in fact he is also forced to be helpless, Su Shi openly published the coins of the two countries in Liaoxia in the newspaper, which made the Empress Dowager angry, if he wants to save his brother, he can only support Zhao Xu's pro-government.
In addition, the official family personally quoted his father Su Xun's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" to refute the policy of the New Year's coin, which is inevitably reminiscent of the Su family's position, if he does not support it, it is unfilial, even if he stands on the side of the Empress Dowager, I am afraid it will be difficult to be trusted by the Empress Dowager.
""The Book of Rites: Qu Lixia": The monarch dies, the doctor dies, the scholar dies, the official family has the ambition of the Son of Heaven to guard the country, the old minister is willing to follow, and the minister implores the queen mother to remove the curtain, and the official family is in charge."
Sure enough, Su Zhe's response to Zhao Xu was not unexpected by everyone, but there was one person who came out of the crowd and surprised everyone.
Left Prime Minister Lu Dafang!
This person is the most staunch supporter of the Empress Dowager, and now he has also fallen to Zhao Xu.
The Empress Dowager Huo Ran raised her head and stared at Lu Dafang, unable to believe that Lu Dafang had betrayed him.
Fan Chunren's eyes shrank, Lu Dafang has always been unwilling to succumb to him, and there is only one reason why he can make him fall to the official family, that is, the official family promised him the position of future prime minister.
Zhao Xu finally focused his eyes on Fan Chunren, and said solemnly: "The country has been raising soldiers for one hundred and twenty years, and the festival of righteous death is today, Fan Xianggong, I ask you today as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, whether I should be pro-government." ”
Fan Chunren is not without weaknesses, and his biggest weakness is the name of his father Fan Zhongyan.
Fan Chunren had no choice but to bow down and say: "As Master Su said, the official family is eighteen, the harem is happy, and it should be pro-government, and the old minister implores the empress dowager to remove the curtain." ”
At this point, the three prime ministers of the dynasty all agreed with Zhao Xu's pro-government.
