Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 112 Leaving Beijing in the Late Period (Two in One)

As soon as Fan Zheng's evil Fang Dongpo came out, King Shen immediately turned his losses into profits, and the officials who originally impeached Fan Zheng were suddenly disappointed.

Although the court and the central government unanimously recognized Zhao Xu's legitimacy to the throne, many die-hard conservatives still did not have a good impression of Fan Zheng, who loved to use evil methods and advocate reform, and spared no effort to drive Fan Zheng away from the officials whenever he had the opportunity.

However, sometimes when the overall situation is clearly settled, Fan Zheng uses one evil method to reverse the situation, which greatly frustrates them.

"Fan Zheng, the evil doctor!"

Zhao Tingzhi gritted his teeth, filled with resentment.

Fan Zheng sentenced his beloved son Zhao Mingcheng to three years in prison, but he has been helpless, which made him suffer a lot.

"Lord Zhao, Yong Wang and Zhao Hao haven't left Bianjing yet. Will Yushitai continue to impeach him?" Suddenly a Yushi came to report.

"King Yong hasn't left the capital yet?" Zhao Tingzhi asked in surprise,
You must know that after the collective impeachment by the court, the Empress Dowager ordered Yong Wang Zhao Hao to serve as the Huainan Jiedu Envoy within a time limit, and now the time limit has passed, and he has not left yet.

The censor smiled bitterly and said, "Originally King Yong had agreed to leave, but before leaving, Prince Yong's son suddenly fell ill, and King Yong left Beijing at the end of the first day."

Everyone knew that King Yong was already a cornered beast, even if it was some reason that could not be put on the table, he also used it. He just wanted to stay in Kaifeng City for a while longer, so that the Empress Dowager could change her mind.

Zhao Tingzhi's heart moved, now he relied on the Empress Dowager to be in power, and didn't like Fan Zheng, so he barely kept his position.

If one day, the official family is in charge and Fan Zheng gains power like Wang Anshi, how can he still have his good fruit to eat.

"If King Yong ascends the throne..."

Zhao Tingzhi's heart skipped a beat, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

If he helps King Yong ascend the throne, not only will he be able to succeed as a dragon, but it will not be easy to suppress Fan Zheng in the future and save his son.

"Besides legal principles, it's nothing more than human feelings. Prince Yong's son is ill. If we persecute him too hastily, the Empress Dowager may be displeased." Zhao Tingzhi excused King Yong.

Hearing the words, Yu Shi immediately thought of the mother-child relationship between the Empress Dowager and King Yong Zhao Hao. Originally, the Empress Dowager was unwilling to let Zhao Hao leave Bianjing, so why should they be villains again? Besides, King Yong could always find a reason to stay Kaifeng failed.

That night!Prince Yong's Mansion!

"The queen mother still hasn't let go!"

Yong Wang Zhao Hao looked up at the dark night sky, his heart was cold.

Unlike Li Kefei who couldn't wait to leave Bianjing, he racked his brains to force him to stay in Kaifeng.

Now that ten days are about to pass, the queen mother still has no intention to keep him. If this continues, it may cause opposition from the government and the opposition again.

"Reporting to my lord, there is a big man visiting, who refuses to reveal his name, but claims to be an old friend of his lord." Suddenly a servant came to report and handed over a token.

"Please hurry up!" King Yong looked at the token and said in his heart.

Soon, a man in black robe came in front of King Yong, and by the dim light, it was Zhao Tingzhi, the censor Zhongcheng.

"King Yong is safe and sound!" Zhao Tingzhi cupped his hands.

Zhao Hao sneered and said, "How can Mr. Zhao not know about this king's situation? Since you have given up on this king twice, why did you come to see me again today?"

The reason why Zhao Hao planned that position was not because he had no supporters, but this time he aroused collective opposition and hit him hard.

Zhao Tingzhi shook his head and said, "It's not that we don't support King Yong, but that the Empress Dowager does not support King Yong. Don't you understand, if you want to get that position, you must have the support of the Empress Dowager, otherwise everything will be lost. .”

King Yong fell silent when he heard the words.

The first time, the empress mother gave up on him for power, but this time, the empress mother was old and it was time to hand over power. This was his last chance, but the empress mother chose to abandon him again and let him leave Beijing.

King Yong shook his head helplessly and said: "The empress dowager is too kind, and the officials are so vicious that they even threatened the empress with the lives of all the princes. Now I am afraid that the empress will not believe what I say."

It's not just Empress Dowager Gao who doesn't believe it, even he himself is not sure whether he will be able to accommodate Zhao Xu and other imperial nephews after he ascends the throne.

Zhao Tingzhi shook his head and said, "Although the Empress Dowager is indecisive, she is dedicated to serving the country. There is only one reason that can make her change her mind, and that is the danger of Song Dynasty."

"The Song Dynasty is in danger?" King Yong asked puzzled.

Zhao Tingzhi's eyes were venomous and said: "If the officials have been dormant and waited until the Empress Dowager died before revealing their reform intentions, His Highness King Yong would have no chance of succeeding to the throne. The state of mind, I believe in Fan Zhengzheng and evil prescriptions repeatedly. Of course, if you can gain power for a while, you will definitely succeed in the evil side and lose in the evil side."

King Yong's heart moved, and he said solemnly: "I also ask Mr. Zhao to teach me."

Zhao Tingzhi sneered and said: "Since Fan Zheng is instigating the reform of the government, why doesn't His Royal Highness push the boat along the way and persuade the Empress Dowager to give the government a chance to reform. Only in this way can the Empress Dowager understand who will be the leader of Song Dynasty?" Who is the master of ZTE, who is the king of subjugation in the Song Dynasty."

King Yong was shocked when he heard the words. Everyone knew that Zhao Xu admired the new law the most, but the empress dowager was the most likely to hate the reform. As long as Zhao Xu promoted the new law, the empress dowager would definitely aggravate her dislike.

The conservatives who occupy the majority will see Zhao Xu's true colors and turn against him. It is he who will completely reverse the situation.

Zhao Tingzhi and Zhao Hao had a secret discussion, Zhao Tingzhi exhorted: "This will be the last chance for His Royal Highness King Yong."

Zhao Hao nodded his head, instead of leaving Beijing in such a mess, it would be better to give it a go.

Day two!
King Yong officially announced his departure from the capital, and knelt outside the palace alone, begging to take another look at the Empress Dowager before leaving.

Empress Dowager Gao showed great compassion, and finally nodded in agreement.

In the Chuigong Palace, the mother and son met again, and King Yong said with tears: "Let's go and say goodbye. I don't know if I can meet the mother and queen alive in the future. Please forgive the child for being unfilial."

Empress Dowager Gao was very sad, she was old and knew that time was running out, so she naturally wanted her son to accompany her.

However, Empress Dowager Gao was not stupid, she shook her head and said: "Don't blame the empress mother for being unfeeling! The fault is that you shouldn't rely on your favor and have thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"My child didn't..." Zhao Hao quickly argued.

Empress Dowager Gao slapped the armrest heavily, and shouted angrily: "No, you really feel sorry for your old age and foolishness. If you hadn't instructed Xiaoer, how could Xiaoer frame the official family? This time you have to leave Bianjing. We can't stand the turmoil anymore, and we can no longer engage in unnecessary internal friction with the remaining national power."

Facing Empress Dowager Gao's reprimand, King Yong was happy instead of worried.

He knew that the empress mother's mind had been guessed by Mr. Zhao. She wanted to serve the country wholeheartedly, but she exiled him from Bianjing for the stability of the succession of the throne.

At that moment, Zhao Hao looked up at Empress Dowager Gao, and said bluntly for the first time: "That's right! The boy has indeed thought about it, but the boy is not for his own selfishness, but for the queen mother, for the great Song Dynasty."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at her filial son in shock, as if meeting him for the first time.

"Nizi, it's useless for you to read the books of sages and sages, have you forgotten the way of monarch and minister?"

Zhao Hao went out and said: "Mother, this country of the Great Song Dynasty is not just a country under one person, but the country of my Zhao family. During the time of Taizu Taizong, he once made an alliance of golden chambers. The alliance of the golden chamber should allow the child to ascend the throne."

"The Alliance of the Golden Chamber!"

Empress Dowager Gao felt guilty. The Golden Chamber Alliance was decided by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Taizong Zhao Guangyi's mother, Empress Zhaoxian. Its purpose was to absorb the lessons of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. If the country wants to last long, the successor must have certain qualifications and prestige.

So the alliance of the golden chamber was established, and brothers will end up with brothers.

Zhao Kuangyin——Zhao Guangyi——Zhao Tingmei——Zhao Dezhao... First passed on to the three brothers, and then passed on to Zhao Kuangyin's son.

When Shenzong passed away, Zhao Xu, the oldest among the surviving princes, was only ten years old, and he did meet the conditions of the Golden Chamber Alliance. There was a strong call for Zhao Hao to be neutralized in the court, and in the end Empress Dowager Gao chose to support Zhao Xu's ascension to the throne.

"The Alliance of the Golden Chamber?"

Empress Dowager Gao shook her head and laughed. The Golden Chamber Alliance seemed beautiful, but it was difficult to implement. After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he first forced Zhao Dezhao to death, then framed Zhao Tingmei, and finally let the Golden Chamber Alliance survive in name only.

When Shenzong was seriously ill, he begged Empress Dowager Gao by the corner of her clothes, obviously because she didn't want Zhao Dezhao's tragedy to repeat itself, and because she wanted to listen to the government behind the curtain, she finally secretly asked Liang Weijian to make dragon robes for Zhao Xu, causing The established fact of Zhao Xu's ascension to the throne.

Zhao Hao's face was ferocious, and he continued: "The child is the mother's legitimate son, if Zhao Xu is the emperor's brother's direct son, the child will never have any inappropriate thoughts, and the official mother is just a lowly palace maid. Coveting the throne? Is it true that the royal family really wants to make Zhu's three fathers grand masters and protectors?"

Zhao Hao continued to use the second trick Zhao Tingzhi taught, using Empress Dowager Gao to look down on Zhu's background to achieve his goal.

Zhu's father, named Cui Jie, was a commoner, and died when she was very young. Her mother, Li, remarried Zhu Shi'an and changed her surname to Zhu. Later, she was entrusted to a relative named Ren to raise her. Zhu had three fathers.

Later, Mrs. Zhu entered the palace as an imperial attendant, and was favored by Shenzong. She gave birth to two sons and five daughters. The eldest son was Zhao Xu. Although Empress Dowager Gao made Zhao Xu emperor, she looked down on Mrs. Zhu very much.

So far, she has been suppressing the treatment of Mrs. Zhu. It was not until recently that she came forward to the queen mother, which improved Mrs. Zhu's treatment. However, she has never given the most important position of queen to Mrs. Zhu.

"Presumptuous! Mrs. Zhu is your concubine, how can you slander her." Empress Dowager Gao severely reprimanded her.

However, Zhao Hao is familiar with the queen mother's character, and has already heard the looseness in the mother's voice, and then continued: "The son covets the throne, and he still has the heart to think about the mother. The mother suppresses the Zhu family, how can the officials, as parents and children, not know?" Besides, the official family has reached the age of being in charge, and the mother has not returned the power, so how can the official family not harbor resentment, and the mother does not consider the affairs of the afterlife?"

Empress Dowager Gao was shocked, how could she not know that Zhao Xu was dissatisfied with her, especially that Zhao Xu had already reached the age of being in charge, and she still held the power.

Empress Dowager Gao forcefully argued: "I am not greedy for power, but the officials are too young to control the court."

She denied the alliance of the golden chamber just now, but now uses the alliance of the golden chamber to forcefully justify herself.

"And the official family has changed now! It has become different!" Empress Dowager Gao finally added another sentence to increase her persuasiveness.

King Yong Zhao Hao sneered and said: "The empress mother is talking about Fan Zheng's performance after entering the palace! Fan Zheng behaves strangely, loves to use evil prescriptions, and advocates reforms in the official family. From my son's point of view, the change in the official family must be due to Fan Zheng instigated, deliberately paralyzed the mother, and waited until the official family took over the government, the new law will definitely be reintroduced, which will bring disaster to the country and the people! At that time, the Great Song Dynasty will also be in danger."

"Restart the new law?" Empress Dowager Gao's expression changed. Even she had heard about the anger and resentment caused by Wang Anshi's reform in the harem. In addition, she was conservative in her thinking and supported Sima Guang to completely abolish the new law as soon as she came to power. Zhao Xu will take charge of the government in the future Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to restart the new law?

"At that time, Aijia was already under the Nine Springs, and the new law and old law had nothing to do with Aijia." Empress Dowager Gao said helplessly.

Zhao Hao grieved and said: "Does the Empress Dowager have the heart to watch the Great Song Dynasty be destroyed?"

Empress Dowager Gao's complexion changed, and she said coldly: "What do you ask Aijia to do, support you to succeed to the throne, you can ensure that you abide by the golden chamber alliance, or will you kill your son and return to power!"

Zhao Hao said solemnly: "I can't guarantee that I will abide by the Golden Chamber Covenant, let alone kill my son to repay the government, but I can guarantee that the officials and all the emperor's nephews will live a prosperous and prosperous life."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Zhao Hao, who was really a villain, and sighed in her heart. If Zhao Hao really said against his will that he would kill his son and return to power, or that he would pass on the line of Shenzong in a hundred years, she would be disappointed.

"However, the official family will also guarantee your prosperity and wealth for a lifetime, why are you still greedy for that position." Empress Dowager Gao asked back.

Zhao Hao said with a righteous face: "What I want is not for my own selfishness, but for the great Song Dynasty. Today, I dare to ask my mother to be the Great Song Dynasty and return the government to the government."

"You..." Empress Dowager Gao was taken aback, looking at her beloved son in disbelief.

Zhao Hao said solemnly: "I am not asking the queen mother to let go of all power, but to give the official family a chance to govern. If the official family is really capable of revitalizing the Song Dynasty, the son-in-law is willing to abdicate to let the virtuous and fully assist the official family. If the official family is obsessed with obsession , restarting the new law will bring disaster to the country and the people, and my minister will never allow him to destroy our Great Song Dynasty."

Empress Dowager Gao heard the words, her face changed and she said: "It's nonsense, the throne is a trifling matter, and you are not allowed to test it, you get out of the palace immediately, and leave Beijing immediately to take up your post."

Zhao Hao said with a miserable face: "The mother made the decision with one word, and the children and ministers have no complaints. It's just that in the future, my Song Dynasty will not survive, and foreign cavalry will ravage the Central Plains. It will be too late for mother to regret it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hao bowed solemnly to Empress Dowager Gao, turned his head and left resolutely.

Zhao Hao left with a sad face, but he was always paying attention to the situation behind him, but when he stepped out of the Chuigong Palace, he still didn't hear Empress Dowager Gao's stay behind him.

However, when he walked to the gate of the imperial city, there was still no eunuch behind him. Zhao Hao felt sad, but he still followed Zhao Tingzhi's plan and stepped out of the palace.

Back at Prince Yong's Mansion, Zhao Hao didn't hesitate any longer, packed up his belongings immediately, and led his family straight out of the south gate of Kaifeng City.

Just after leaving the city for more than a mile, a horse rushed over and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness King Yong, the Empress Dowager has fallen ill and wants to see King Yong."

Zhao Hao was ecstatic in his heart, and secretly exclaimed that he had made the right bet!But with a sad face on his face, he said:

"Mother! The child is not filial! He failed to serve the left and right."

Today!King Yong returned to Bianjing again.
