Song Dynasty female artist

After staying behind several 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 mastered a certain amount of military power, and was later appointed as the governor of Kaifeng. You also know that from the previous dynasty to your father's generation, as long as If the prince holds the position, he is basically the crown prince."

Taizong first controlled military power, and later involved political power.

Gradually he gained his own power.

On the night of October 19, the ninth year of Kaibao, Emperor Taizu Emperor Xuan Taizong went to the palace to have a drink.

Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, news came out that Emperor Taizu had passed away. On the 21st, Zhao Guangyi, who was the king of Jin at the time, quickly succeeded to the throne.

"I'm afraid only Emperor Taizong himself knows what's going on here. Since then, the throne has been in your lineage. But when I knew your father, Zhao Weiji, the grandson of Emperor Taizu, contacted the courtiers and asked Taizong The emperor returns the throne to his lineage."

Now Zhao Weiji's son is launching this mutiny, probably for this reason.

Zhao Zhen nodded.

It is precisely because Zhao Shoulian confessed and shouted for the throne to be returned during the interrogation of the three divisions that he came here.

"You don't have to think too much. Today's country is getting better and better under your governance. People in this world don't care 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 the lineage of Emperor Taizu, or whether you should continue to be the emperor."

Liu E spoke very slowly.

Zhao Zhen listened to every word.

He had to admire her style and courage.

Let the people of the world choose!

After returning to the palace from the Kyoto Courtyard, Zhao Zhen stayed in Tianzhang Pavilion for another day and resumed going to court the next day.

I can imagine what kind of quarrel there will be in the court later about Zhao Shoulian.

Sure enough, the next day in the court, the ministers were no different from the loudmouthed women.

It was so noisy that it was ugly, and some of them even started fighting.

Zhao Zhen was very calm in his heart, but he was still very angry on his face: "You are the ministers of the court, how can you act like vulgar women and be ridiculous. Someone, pull them down and give them ten big blows each to improve their memory."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please forgive me. We are also here for..."

"I know very well why."

Zhao Zhen looked coldly at the 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 the truth about this military uprising will be made public and let the people of the world judge. If the people feel that I should abdicate, then I will give the throne to him."

"Your Majesty!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty……"

The courtiers fell to their knees and shouted to make His Majesty think twice.

"I have made up my mind. In three days, Zhao Shoulian will be tried publicly by the Third Division outside Xuande Gate, allowing the people watching to speak freely."

December 12, outside Xuande Gate.

The people who got the news came before dawn. Zeng Shengji led nearly a thousand Su guards to maintain order at Xuandemen.

Only the first six hundred people in line were allowed in, and the rest had to wait outside Xuande Gate.

The people were not kept waiting long.

Zhao Zhen, wearing red court uniform, came to Xuandemen on a dragon boat.

"I (the grassroots people) see your Majesty, long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Many people were very excited to see the Holy Face for the first time.

In the past few years, the country's power has become stronger and the corvee has become younger every year. Their life is much easier!

Li Jizhi, the Minister of Punishment, looked at His Majesty and saw His Majesty nodding, so he loudly said: "Bring the prisoner Zhao Shoulian up."

After finishing speaking, he sat down not far in front of Zhao Zhen.

Censor Zhongcheng Wang Gongchen and Zhao Zhen, the current head of Dali Temple, temporarily let Gu Qingjue, the Duke of Bohai, take the post. The two of them sat next to Li Jizhi, one on the left and the other on the right.

Zhao Shoulian was brought up, and he didn't look embarrassed. Because Zhao Zhen specifically informed the Ministry of Punishment not to abuse him.

Zhao Shoulian stood there unconvinced.

But the people behind him couldn't help it. Kunai didn't have anything to hit people with, he could only spit.

It’s amazing how far saliva can go.

Many of them vomited on the Su guards who were now maintaining order.

Okay, since you can't spit, you can just scold him.

"It was this man who rebelled. So many people died in one night. The blood on the streets has not been wiped clean yet."

"I heard that he is a descendant of the royal family. Bah, a person as selfish as him who doesn't care about the life and death of the people is worthy of sitting in that position."

"No, I heard that there are still many people following."

"It would be better if they were all dead, but it has caused us great harm. My family member didn't get home in time and was stabbed by the rebels. He still can't lift his arm."

"Hey, why don't you see anyone else, just him?"

"Don't you know this? Today's event is not to judge the rebellion that night, but for the officials to tell an old story in front of the people of the world and let us all comment on it!"

"How do you know so much?"

"That's right, my uncle's sister-in-law's brother is an official in the two houses."

Li Jizhi looked at Zhao Shoulian and said, "Since you think you are right in raising the army, tell everything and let the people of the world decide whether you are wrong or not."

"People in the world, I'm afraid these are the people you specially hired to sing in operas!"

"These people are the most ordinary people who waited here early after His Majesty made the reasons for your rebellion public three days ago. They knew that the case would be heard at Xuandemen today."

Gu Qingjue said: "This is very fair and just."

Zhao Shoulian looked at Gu Qingjue with disdain: "Fair and fair? He is the emperor now, and there are thousands of guards here. Even if the people support the return of the throne to orthodoxy in their hearts, a few dare to say it. I'm afraid if I really say it, little one His life is gone!”

That disdainful look was neither painful nor itchy to Gu Qingjue.

"You are just trying to provoke others by saying this, but the people are very clear in their hearts. The world belongs to everyone. The people can still have the final say on who can sit 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 at the side, shouted worriedly: "Your Majesty, this..."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Zhen asked himself that he had been working hard and diligently during the past twenty years. Even if he could not be regarded as a saint, he would not be hated by the people.

Zhao Shoulian couldn't believe Zhao Zhen's actions.

Without the Su Guards to maintain order, is he really not afraid of so many people making trouble?

When he came over just now, he saw many people outside Xuande Gate!

"Okay, now you can talk about your plan to raise an army."
