After Shao Song

Chapter 94
It has to be said that life has given Zhao Chen too much hardship, and it has also increased his wisdom. When he set foot on the road to Kaifeng, he repeatedly deduced the various steps of the face-to-face meeting. Originally, Concubine Qiao's earth-shattering words , if they met in private, he would not dare to say anything even to death.Instead, in front of so many ministers, he dared to take a gamble and unleash a big move. The emperor's uncle couldn't kill twenty or thirty of his ministers just to silence him, right?

The answer is of course no.

However, Zhao Jiu had a modern soul after all and had never fully integrated into this feudal patriarchal society. When he saw that Lu Gongxian and other important ministers were about to swore blood for an alliance and swore not to leave, he turned around and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, I'm here. As for my life experience, since there is such a rumor, whether the members of the Qing family say it or not, someone will spread it to the outside world. The two queen mothers in the palace are still there, and Concubine Qiao is also taking care of her son in Yangzhou, so I have to ask!"

No matter how bad his history studies were, he had never heard that there was anything wrong with Song Gaozong's life experience!There are so many people scolding him, but no one calls him a bastard.If there is such a black spot, "Shuo Yue" cannot let it go!
Zhang Jun said anxiously: "Guan family, how can such a matter be investigated with great fanfare? If word spreads, it will affect the mother-son relationship between you and the Queen Mother."

"Then we will investigate in secret." Zhao Jiu said calmly, "The person behind this is really powerful. Even if I am the emperor of the horse and my status is unshakable, I have inherited the throne of the Zhao family. If you say that I am not the heir of a Taoist gentleman, it is comparable to It's much more powerful to scold me for being unfilial." After all, scolding me for being unfilial allows me to adopt Zhe Zong, just to repay Empress Dowager Meng's kindness, but you want me to be a member of the Yuanzhi clan. No, the Yuanzhi clan also has the surname Zhao. If you are making up lies, Let’s just say how good the children are if they are purchased from the private sector.

In fact, all the ministers had this question in their minds, but they were too scared to ask.I just watched as the following arrangements were made: Zhao Chen was sent to the Zongren Courtyard, under the supervision of Uncle Zhao, the great Zongzheng.Mo Chuan and Zhang Su, who came together, were sent to the Ministry of Punishment for detention, and Ma Shen was allowed to use all means to retaliate and torture to extract confessions without being killed.As a result, Ma Shen, a moral gentleman who shouted "please kill Yang Yizhong" every day, actually took the initiative to borrow the manpower of the Imperial City Division from Yang Yizhong. Without him, he was more loyal than ordinary jailers and did not worry about leaking secrets. From then on, he He moved into the Ministry of Punishments prison and slept in his office, and he would never let anyone know anything about him.

Wang Yan, the minister of Dali Temple who almost had a fight with him some time ago, accepted the rest of the minions in a very reasonable manner without saying any nonsense.

It was obvious at this time that Zhao Jiu had treated each other sincerely for more than ten years. They were fine with each other no matter what, but they would never let their master carry such a burden.

As for Yang Yizhong himself, he accompanied Zhao Guan's family to the harem to meet the two queen mothers and asked about old events. Who knew that after hearing this, Queen Mother Wei immediately flew into a rage and cursed Mrs. Qiao. Those words would definitely be harmonized, but Finally, she pulled Zhao Jiu's sleeves and cried sadly: "Brother Ninth, you are the flesh that fell from your mother's body. Don't listen to the instigation of outsiders." All her glory and wealth came from this son. If If he believed that he was not his biological mother, it would be like going from heaven to hell.

Zhao Jiu was so upset by her that she quickly called the second concubine Wu Pan and several strong maids to help her down, and then asked the Queen Mother Zheng who was also stunned but calm at least.

The Empress Dowager Zheng sat down slowly, and said: "The officials, please allow me to think about it." Zhao Jiu also just calmed down and sorted out his thoughts. He just felt that being the emperor was too illusory. Modify the historical process?

He was thinking wildly when he heard Empress Dowager Zheng say: "The official family was born in the first year of Daguan. At that time, I was still a noble concubine. Sister Wei, Mrs. Qiao, and Mrs. Xue were all my maids. They were very close to each other. It was agreed that when one of them became rich, he would not forget the other sisters. Later, the Qiao family was favored by Emperor Daojun and recommended Sister Wei as a talented person. The other family, Xue family, was promised to the clan Fangguo by Emperor Daojun because of her plain appearance. Gong Zhao Ling Jia."

Zhao Jiu was stunned, no wonder.However, thinking about Queen Mother Wei's words and Concubine Qiao's fatal report, Zhao Jiu could only say that he could not understand such a close sisterly relationship.

He didn't know that in real history, when Emperor Gaozong brought back his biological mother, Queen Mother Wei, Qiao gave Wei 50 taels of gold. When leaving, she toasted to Wei and said, "Sister, I'm here to see my son, and I'm the Queen Mother." Come on, you should take good care of yourself. My sister will never return, she should die here!" Webster cried bitterly after drinking.Concubine Qiao added: "Sister, when you are in a happy place, don't forget the unhappiness." Webster said: "Don't forget today."

As a result, when Webster arrived in Lin'an, she also forgot about the sisterhood and never said anything about giving Qiao anything to improve her life, let alone asking someone to rescue her.

So, in the past life and this life, it is impossible to tell who owes whom.

Zhao Jiu listened carefully, but Empress Dowager Zheng said: "Later I also had children, and Emperor Daojun had many favors, but he didn't pay much attention to their affairs. He only vaguely knew that during the Zhenghe reign of Duke Jia, After he died of illness, Duke Jia Guo no longer went north during the Jingkang period." That is, we were no longer prisoners together.

Zhao Jiu was too lazy to start a verbal lawsuit and said directly: "Dazong Zheng knew this man. He offended the powerful ministers in his early years and went to Chuzhou. He died of illness in the third year of Jianyan. The sons in the family, except for the eldest son who died in infancy, are all younger than me. "

Empress Dowager Zheng's face became paler. Although she was the Supreme Taoist's official palace and did not have such stakes, she also knew who provided her with her current life.In case today's official family does not know how to do it, the palace is strictly forbidden, although Qiao is favored, she cannot help to steal the dragon and turn the girl into a phoenix. Moreover, Weishi himself went to see her when she was pregnant and gave birth to a child.However, Daojun was young and fond of having fun at that time, and Zhao Lingjia was very good at Cuju. For a period of time, he was often invited to the palace to play. Naturally, his wife and children also came to the harem to attend banquets.But later this person hated Gao Qiu and was driven out.

But even though Empress Dowager Zheng had so many thoughts in her mind, she did not dare to say another word on her face.Zhao Jiu stood up and said, "I have sent people to Yangzhou to pick up Concubine Qiao. Please ask the two queen mothers to talk to her when the time comes." After that, he left.

It is early autumn at this time, and the heat of summer has dissipated and the coolness is coming slightly with the wind.Zhao Jiu was upset, and in a hurry, he brought Yang Yizhong to a waterside pavilion outside Yanfu Palace. Probably because of the cold weather, they tied up some curtains and surrounded them tightly. When the wind blew, they swayed like debris. Lotus leaves fall.Yang Yizhong said: "Guanjia, you haven't eaten today. The lotus pods are the best at this time. Why don't you eat something?"

In front of him, Zhao Jiu was too lazy to pretend, and said directly: "Zhengfu, why do you think I am so unlucky!"

It was indeed unlucky enough, Yang Yi thought to himself, this was worse than the rumors of being possessed by dog ​​demons, civet cats and spirits, and according to Empress Dowager Zheng, it was quite well founded.

However, "Guan family, the imperial concubine is old and is not accustomed to the acclimatization on the road. It is common for her to go there." What kind of confrontation in court? It is in the best interest of the official family and the entire court to kill her and deny her recognition.

Zhao Jiu sneered and said: "If Zhao Chen doesn't say it in public, it might be possible, but in this case, wouldn't it be self-inflicted? Of course, even if he knows something, the Xue family and the Zhang family will only end up alienating the Tian family. You should die. There will be no problem with my life experience. However, the person behind this is so terrifying that I cannot guard against it."

This is indeed true. After the Battle of Yaoshan, Zhao Jiu's position as emperor could no longer be shaken.Even if he said in public that "the two saints are not things", he would just replace a group of people as officials. After the Northern Expedition, no one would be qualified to go against him, let alone the clan blood, even the son of a foreign surname. , as long as Zhao Guanjia does not recognize it, then the ministers will firmly believe it.However, it is easy to block an open gun and a hidden arrow, so Yang Yizhong felt deeply the great responsibility and said quickly: "Da Sikou and Dali Temple have allowed the Imperial City Secretary to intervene, and I will help the officials to eliminate this serious trouble."

At this time, there was a sound of children in the distance. A boy called his father and ran towards him with legs as white as lotus roots, followed closely by Fu Mu, the chambermaid.Zhao Guanjia smiled tiredly and said: "Liangzuo, what are you doing here, aren't you going to do your homework?"

It turned out that it was the third prince Zhao Dan who came. He was five years old and had just entered school. His appearance was very similar to that of his mother, Concubine Wu Gui. At this time, he was wearing a red cloth shirt, short legged trousers, and a bun. A Rouge can directly play the role of Guanyin boy on stage.

Zhao Dan only said: "Dad, where is Deputy Commander Liu? I can't find him." "What are you looking for him for?" Zhao Guanjia recalled some bad memories, his tone was a bit dangerous, and the servants around him were already weak in the legs.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dan said: "I apologize to him, I shouldn't let him bark like a dog last time."

This was a surprise to everyone, because he was the youngest. This little prince spent all day poking hornets' nests and digging ant holes, and even asked the palace servants to ride for him. Zhao Jiu was beaten the most, but under the stick, I have never heard of him repenting and wanting to apologize!
Zhao Jiu wanted to ask you how you figured it out, but the little prince learned to answer by himself, "Now the eldest brother and the second brother are in military training. They cry every day and say they are exhausted. I think they must have offended the King of Qin or the King of Wei. I'll start with If I build a good relationship with Deputy Commander Liu, I won’t have to endure so much hardship in future military training.”

Zhao Jiu: I suddenly feel that you are Daojun's biological descendant, "Come here, hand the third prince to Princess Nanyang and let her look at it. You must finish writing a hundred big characters before eating."

Zhao Dan was stunned for a while, and suddenly cried "Wow".

Zhao Jiu's depression only lasted for one day. He slept alone in the palace at night. An autumn rain accompanied by thunder and lightning outside seemed to dispel the depression in his heart. After all, did he care so much about whether his biological parents were Zhao Ji and Wei Shi?
The answer is naturally no. He is just an unlucky guy who was caught by Daozu. But in these 12 years, bit by bit, he couldn't bear to see the living lives in history dim, because these people and the dead in front of him Those heroic souls.

Otherwise, let alone the body, I know my own business, and his soul is really a fake. Since I am the one who cleans up the broken mountains and rivers, then it is him and the Gonggun princes, the scholars, farmers, industry and merchants who should continue to create peace for all generations.

It was of course impossible to say that he didn't care at all, but he didn't feel that he couldn't control the situation after so many life-and-death matters had happened over the years.No matter what, his 'biological parents' will not and cannot change.

On the other hand, parents in this capacity must change.

　No one is White Lotus, and Zhao Jiu doesn’t care that much!He was not the real Zhao Gou. The core of this matter was to find out who was behind the scenes.The naughty third prince successfully alleviated his father's depression.
