I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 148 Collapse
"When the first emperor was around, he often thought about the difficulties of our Great Song Dynasty. The difficulties were not only the external troubles of the Jin and Liao Dynasties, but also the difficulties of being a traitor in the court."

It was a big Chinese New Year, and the Great Song Kingdom won one after another in the year before. It should have been a joyous situation.

If Emperor Xiaociyuan didn't come back.

He is now sitting in the main seat of the Daqing Hall, which should have been the seat of the emperor... well, he is also the emperor, at least he used to be.

The Qin Xiangye party in the original court was almost all suppressed when the official family went north. Except for officials like Wan Qixie who abandoned the dark and turned to the bright earlier, the others either died or were in Taixue. Doing hard work.

Now, needless to say, Xin Ciying came out of the Taimiao, and I don't know how many people were dissatisfied with Zhao Xiangxin, so many people resigned from the subsequent banquet with excuses; now it seems that although there are many people in the Daqing Palace, More than half of them turned out to be from Qin Hui's faction in the former court.

The faction of Qin Hui is the faction of peace and the faction of surrender.

The current scene even made Liu Ziyu feel a little dazed... It seemed that nothing had changed, and it was almost exactly the same as the situation back then.

That's all, not to mention that Da Song rarely killed ministers before Zhao's official family, but there are intricate relationships behind these officials.Since the officials didn't move them before, they must have been concerned.

Now that Emperor Xiaociyuan invited them here, at most it just made everyone feel sick, after all, these people have no official status, so they can't make any waves.

But... the fact that Yongjia County King bullied the emperor, disrespected and treasoned has already been confirmed, but he also became the guest at the first table this year. Isn't this messing around!

Liu Ziyu kept looking at Zhao Ding, but the latter looked like an old monk in meditation, just sitting upright with lowered eyelids, as if he had fallen asleep.

Zhao Huan was still talking about his and his father's hard life, but it was not something glorious. Liu Ziyu didn't want to hear it, and he didn't want to listen to it. Only when he read the poem written by Emperor Huizong in Wuguocheng, I just regained my composure a little bit,

"The westerly wind shattered the door all night, and the lonely house in the depression was dimmed."

"Looking back three thousand miles from Jiashan, I can see that there are no geese flying in the south of the sky."

"The first emperor... the unworthy son is back..."

Zhao Huan had already wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, saying that the king was worried about his ministers humiliating him and his ministers to death, no matter how Liu Ziyu evaded, he couldn't help but think of his martyred father at this moment, and became extremely sad for a while.

Even he is like this, let alone the rest of the ministers. Wang Ciweng and others cried because a savior finally came, and none of them could lift the wood or stone; Su Fu cried because the country Suffering, and now it is finally starting to get better; different people have different ways of crying, like Wan Qixie, he also started howling at first, but seeing that Zhao Xiangye was still sitting on Mount Tai, he had to stop He cried his own tears.

"Speaking of which, the ninth younger brother protects our country and the livelihood of the people south of the Huaihe River... Whether it is running the family or the country, I am not as good as him, the difference is far behind!"

"Now that he's not in Lin'an, I can drink with you gentlemen for now. If he comes back, the throne will still be his after all."

Whether this statement is true or false, Zhao Huan can't tell which part is true and which part is false; when the news came that the Jin man went south, his father had not passed the year, so he directly gave way to him in December and dragged him away. We became kings of subjugation together, and if you say that Emperor Xiaociyuan has no idea at all, it must be a lie.

But his woman, his prince, and the sons born in the Kingdom of Jin are all still in the north; besides, he has experienced the hardships of the Jin people, and he has seen the methods. I don’t know how many letters have been written to him in the past 15 years. His ninth brother, from orders to requests to pleas, he didn't even receive a reply.

Whenever envoys from the Jin Dynasty came back to the north, or envoys from the Song Dynasty went north, Zhao Huan would go to see them full of hope, and then return to his cattle pen full of disappointment... Repeatedly, year after year , he almost died of that heart.

And now, he is sitting on the throne in the imperial city of Song Dynasty. If all this is a dream, he really hopes that this dream will never wake up.

He is very scared, he has always been very scared... Otherwise, he would not have been frightened by the Jin people back then, and he would really have gone out of the city to the camp.

Now, apart from Jin Ren, the one who is afraid of him is his younger brother, King Kang of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou's unclear attitude...maybe he is from the same Zhao family and is from Taizong's lineage. Zhao Huan always feels that he will treat himself like Li Yu.

Therefore, he listened to the words of the golden man and the dwarf, just to live.

"His Majesty!"

Among these criminal ministers, Wang Ciweng had the highest position. When he heard Zhao Huan's self-defeating statement, he immediately panicked... If you don't become the emperor, what will we do!
But he didn't dare to speak out directly to persuade him. He just put on a pitiful look and stared straight at the emperor Xiaociyuan, whose eyes were about to explode with desire.

Many people had the same reaction as Wang Ciweng. One shouted more sadly than the other, and the other shouted more emotionally than the other. Being stared at by so many people, Zhao Huan subconsciously looked at Zhao Ding who looked normal...

"Don't be like this, everyone, this is trapping me in an injustice!"

"Zhao Xiang, please persuade them, persuade them!"

Zhao Ding finally came back to his senses, and bowed to him:
"You don't have to belittle yourself. The official family is a sage who can understand right from wrong, and the throne is no joke. Everything should be decided by you two."

His attitude is very clear, this is a matter for your Zhao family, although his surname is Zhao, but Naihe is not the same as your ancestor, it is not good to say too much.

But for Zhao Huan, for Liu Ziyu and Hu Quan, it was already a big deal that Zhao Ding was not completely on the emperor's side.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolute disloyalty.

Liu Ziyu looked at Zhao Ding as if he was looking at a stranger. He never imagined that this prime minister who was single-handedly promoted by the officials would have such an attitude now!

Not to mention Hu Quan, if he hadn't thought that he was in the palace, he might have already scolded Zhao Ding with his big beard.

As for Zhao Huan, he glanced at Zhao Ding strangely, he didn't even think of this, Zhao Ding had already disarmed before he did anything...

The dwarf said that under the heavy pressure of Lao Jiu, many people's dissatisfaction was covered up, and as long as he relaxed a little, he could hear many dissatisfaction.

Before, I thought he was exaggerating, but at this time, Zhao Huan finally believed it.

"In the past, I didn't listen to Li Boji's words, and it caused a catastrophe. When I thought about it when I was in the Northland, I wanted to see him again...but I didn't want to. He was already dead. After all, I had betrayed him."

Li Boji was Li Gang. This minister who had risen and fallen several times and had an unswerving ambition to fight against gold until his death, happened to die the year before Qin Hui, and also the year before the emperor began to change his temper.

If he could see today, he didn't know what it would be like.

And Zhao Huan has now begun to call himself "Zhen"...Wang Ciweng and the others are naturally overjoyed. Although Hu Quan is not happy, he also knows that this person is also qualified to call himself that.

Although dissatisfied, he still held back.

"He is the pillar of the country, the minister of the humerus of the Song Dynasty. If he is not used well, it is my fault and has nothing to do with him."

This is bullshit, everyone knows it.

But Zhao Huan was able to say that, which still made people a little surprised.

Zhao Ding moved a little, straightened his body again, and returned to his previous appearance.

"So, I know better that this Great Song Dynasty is not the Great Song Dynasty of the Zhao clan, but the Great Song Dynasty of all capable ministers and the people of the world."

"If Da Song wants to restore the past, the most indispensable thing is talent. Whether it's me or the ninth brother here, I believe they all think so."

"So... I invited the national scholars to Lin'an."

As he spoke, Zhao Huan nodded towards Wang Xie, the latter understood, turned around and went out immediately.

When I came back again, Zhang Jun, the former right minister and privy envoy who resigned because of Li Qiong's defection to the north, also came to organize the restoration of King Qin during the Mutiny of Miao and Liu.

He is the youngest prime minister of the Song Dynasty after Kou Zhun, and he was also the minister who dismissed Li Gang together with Huang Qianshan. At the same time, he was still a minority who advocated resistance to Jin... Naturally, he was dismissed back then. Although he knew Qin Hui's character, He was even more worried about his old rival Zhao Ding gaining power, so he acquiesced to the emperor to let Qin Hui be his prime minister.

This is a complicated person, and he cannot be judged by loyalty and treachery casually. According to Liu Bang's previous thinking, this person should be the kind of person who puts his own interests first.
Some talents, but not many.

Even the bottom line is not that high... For example, Zhang Jun waited for a long time after Fujian learned that the officials were recalled to Lin'an by the emperor, but in the end he only waited for the news that the emperor worshiped Zhao Ding as his chancellor.

This is almost a devastating blow to this "young man" who has been a prime minister in his early thirties and is only in his early forties.

He felt more frustrated than the emperor degrading his position.

But at this time, he was recruited by Emperor Xiaociyuan... Zhang Jun, like Hu Quan, had always been by Zhao Guan's side, and he had always only heard of the two northern emperors by their names. I don't see anyone.

And now...

He boarded the boat without any hesitation. Zhao Huan was the only hope for Wang Ciweng and the others, but for Zhang Jun, it was not the case.

After saluting to the emperor above, the first thing Zhang Jun did when he came to the palace was to stand in front of Zhao Ding.

"I really didn't expect that goodbye is still in Lin'an... Zhao Xiang, may I ask Jinxi... is it He Xi?"

Zhao Ding raised his eyes to look at him, but did not answer his words.

This obvious show of weakness made Zhao Huan even more overjoyed, and even became a little excited.

"The Ninth Brother is on the Northern Expedition in the front, and there must be a mistake in the rear."

"Mr. Zhao has worked hard and made great achievements. Now that Mr. Deyuan is assisting, he can share a lot of burdens for you."

"Everyone should work together to protect the country and the country."

Many people would agree with these words, but no one expected that Zhao Ding and Prime Minister Zhao were the first to agree.

He stood up again: "Your Majesty supported me, and I also served as the left and right servants of Zhongshu's sect, but it was a lack of people in the official family, and it was a helpless move."

"Deyuan is originally Wang Zuozhi's talent. If he can come, I naturally agree."

"Hey..." Zhao Huan could no longer tell which side Zhao Ding was on, and he didn't want to offend him too much at this time, so he just said:
"Ninth brother's appointment naturally has his reasons... Although Deyuan has the ability to be a prime minister, he still has to prioritize. How can he think about it from Zhao Xiang's officials?"

"In my opinion, it's better to let him do political affairs, so that neither De Yuan nor Zhao Xiang will be treated badly."

The left and right servants are the left and right prime ministers in name, while Shenzhi Zhengshi is actually the deputy prime minister. The three powers of the Song Dynasty, the military power belongs to the Sanya Privy Council, the financial power belongs to the three divisions and the household department, and the administrative power belongs to this Zhongshu province. Zhizhengshi, if the prime minister is not around, the deputy prime minister can also exercise the power of the prime minister.

This request is extremely excessive, as long as Zhao Ding does not agree, Zhao Huan will have no choice, at least right now.

Unless he tears his face, but he doesn't have the guts or the strength.

But Zhao Ding didn't even hesitate, and said directly:
"You are holy."

After speaking, it turned into an old clock again.

Hu Quan couldn't bear it anymore, stood up... He frowned and stared at Zhao Ding for a long time, finally...

"Ho~ Intuit!"

With one mouthful, he spat towards Zhao Ding.

This was really indecent, but it happened so fast that no one could react.

Hu Quan looked at Zhao Huan above him, cupped his hands, turned around and walked out without even saying a word.

Wang Xie wanted to stop him, but he pushed him away:
"Why, do you want to slap me too?!"

This person is not a simple official like Lin'an Fu Yin, but the real God of Wealth of the Song Dynasty, and the person he offended just now was the prime minister of the dynasty.

After a little calculation, Wang Xie stepped aside and allowed him to walk out of the Daqing Hall.

This kind of behavior was supposed to be a great contempt for the emperor above, but maybe Zhao Huan endured it after staying in Jin Kingdom for a long time.

Mainly, Zhao Ding endured it.

He took the handkerchief from the waiter at the side, and gently wiped off the spittle on his clothes, without even the slightest temper.

Zhao Huan let out a haha, quickly changed the topic, and the music started again.

After the song was over, he said the second thing of the day:

"The King of Yongjia...Although he has done some things that are against the rules, he is the son of Yi Wang, and Yi Wang has made contributions to the ninth brother and to my Song Dynasty, so..."

"Ninth brother is not here, so I will be the master of this! You are also the Zhao family after all, you don't know how to measure, you did something wrong, cut half of its supply costs, and you are not allowed to leave Shanyin without a report!"

"You must take it as a warning and never do it again, do you understand?"

Zhao Shicheng had already realized that he was making a big fuss, but he was just making a wedding dress for someone else.

It is a blessing to be able to survive now, plus he still kept his title, there is no reason for him not to follow, even though he was absolutely unwilling in his heart, he still complied.

However, I don't know whether the county king is really stupid or cute. He actually made a request to the emperor at this time:

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the subject did indeed make a mistake... After the death of the father, the princess also left the subject, so there is a lot less to worry about in life."

"If you talk about another marriage again, I will go back to live with peace of mind. If your Majesty does not call, I will never come again."

As he said that, he even added a bit of innocence to himself. If someone who didn't know saw it, he might really think that treason is a big deal.

Zhao Huan was a little annoyed that he didn't know how to flatter, but also thought that what he said was indeed somewhat reasonable.

It's not difficult to do him at all, but it's not beneficial to do him at all.

As long as he is alive, Lao Jiu seems to want to deal with people when he comes back, so he should think more about it.

King Yi has given birth to so many sons, and they have spread all over the place. Not to mention one thousand, there are at least three to five hundred of them. other people watching...

I didn't do anything, at most I was a bit overstepped, this person is a real rebel, if Lao Jiu wants to deal with himself, he must deal with him first.

As for the kindness that I have given, everyone can naturally understand whether it is right or wrong.

After all, Emperor Huizong personally established the crown prince. Although Zhao Huan had not been emperor for a long time, he had been crown prince for much longer.

He may not have that ability to deal with the Jinren, but he is not so simple to use his brains on people like Chao Li.

So, he opened his mouth and asked:
"From your tone, it seems that you already have a candidate?"

Zhao Shicheng didn't catch the emperor, and it would be nice to catch a beauty. He has never forgotten the jewel in the palm of the Shaoqing family in Taichang Temple.

"I dare not hide the truth, the young lady of Tang Shaoqing's family in Taichang Temple... Ever since I met her, she has stolen my heart. If I can marry her..."

Emperor Xiaociyuan of the Yongjia County Dynasty gave a deep salute:
"Your Majesty's great kindness, I will never forget it."

It never occurred to Tang Hong that he, who has always been invisible, would be called out sometimes.

But this kind of roll call is not a good thing, it is clearly a big disaster!

This person conspired against him, and then wanted to take his own young lady as his wife... If the official came back and insisted on holding him accountable, what should I do? !

Thinking of this, Tang Shaoqing quickly refused:
"The little girl has not yet reached the age of Ji, the county king's kindness, I am afraid I will not be blessed to accept it."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shicheng had already inquired clearly:
"Why does Tang Shaoqing have to be so prevaricated? Tang Wan was born in the first month, and the day of Jiji will be ten days away. Could it be that the king can't wait for these ten days?"

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "You have found out clearly."

Then, he said to Tang Hong:

"He hasn't married again for many years, and it's not because of his abrupt temper. Since he has opened his mouth, why not be a matchmaker today?"

"This……"

Tang Hong still wanted to talk, but seeing the old man Wang Xie staring at him with wide eyes, he shook his sleeve helplessly.

"The minister went back and asked the little girl what she meant."

"For marriage matters, parents can decide...Since Tang Shaoqing has no objection, then it's decided."

Zhao Huan stood up and greeted everyone:

"Everyone raises their glasses together, and should also be a witness for this happy event!"

Still led by Zhao Ding, he was the first to bless Tang Hong who didn't feel happy:
"Congratulations Tang Shaoqing."

Zhao Huan was extremely happy. He had never been so happy in the past 15 years.

……

Xin Ciying was tied up...he was drinking alone in the Sibei Building, but he saw several soldiers under Wang Xie asking for money...the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer insisted on refusing to give it because of his status as a relative of the emperor. The group was beaten up.

He knew the relationship between the emperor and this family, even if he didn't know, as the prefect of Lin'an, this kind of thing couldn't be left alone. out.

If he didn't stand up, then he wouldn't be Xin Ciying.

So he was tied up, and the majestic governor of Lin'an was tied up and paraded through the streets by some big soldiers, and he started to kill chickens to make an example of monkeys... This kind of thing has never been heard in a hundred years.

Most of the people didn't know his identity, but they couldn't bear to see him so old.

But I couldn't bear to go home, I heard that the emperor from the north was back, but Zhao Guan's family didn't even have any news.

No one knows what the situation in the Great Song Dynasty will be like, and in which direction it will go.

……

Lu You was also tied up. Ever since he met Zhao Shicheng that day, he knew that something serious had happened, so he put away his thoughts of going home for the New Year.

But if he didn’t go back, he had no money, and he didn’t have much livelihood to do during the Chinese New Year in Lin’an City. He had no other choice, so he went to the Guan Temple to borrow it... The old man who served here was surnamed Zhou, and he said it was The ancestor followed King Guan. When Qin Hui was about to smash the temple last time, he saw this student and took him in.

At the same time, he moved a place in front of the temple to write and read letters for others, and earn some pocket money.

Everything was fine until the Chinese New Year, when Emperor Xiaociyuan came back again, Lu You thought everything was fine.

But I never thought that the same few stinky soldiers would see this newly built Guanwang Temple - later the emperor threatened it, and Qin Hui spent a lot of money on repairs, even the body of Guanwang was painted A layer of real gold dust.

Those soldiers did not know where they found out about this, and they insisted on scraping gold with knives. Lu You and old man Zhou were not willing to let it go, so they were tied up by them and hung on the beam in front of the temple.

Old man Zhou was getting old and couldn't bear this kind of stimulation at all. In addition, he was tortured by those people. The next day, on the first day of the new year, he died beside Lu You... If If Tang Wan hadn't come looking for him, he probably would have starved to death there too.

"Lu You..."

Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Tang Wan felt even more sad.

But she didn't dare to show every bit of sadness.

"This hairpin is too precious, I want to return it to you."

She seemed to have made a big decision, but Lu You was a little dull, just looking at the corpse of old man Zhou lying in front of him, without even turning his head.

Sighing softly, she still didn't wake him up after all, but just put the hairpin beside him.

She is indeed sad, but what is even more sad is that at this time, she can't do anything, not only can't make Lu You relax, but...

Lovers don't necessarily want to get married eventually, but Tang Wan only felt that her heart seemed to be twitching constantly, and she almost fainted from the pain.

In Lin'an City, everyone saw that a girl was crying.

……

Fohai only felt his heart tighten, but he didn't know what happened.

He has been chanting Buddha for many years, and his mind has long been as calm as water. This kind of reaction is almost extremely rare for him.

"Daoji?"

He seemed to see his disciple, but in front of him was clearly the statue of Sakyamuni, but Fo Hai assured that he had indeed seen Daoji's face on the face of the Buddha statue.

weird...

The monk didn't know what this meant, but he always felt that something happened to his beloved disciple.
