After Shao Song

Chapter 99 Formal Adoption
As the saying goes, under three trees, there are no prisoners who are not recruited.What's more, after the various methods of the Imperial City Division have been improved, they can even stop children from crying at night.Yang Yizhong has long been trained, but his subordinates such as the governor, the governor and even the prisoner expressed their happiness.Because they have never received unanimous praise from so many big shots in the court, encouraging them to be cruel to die-hard elements and serve the government.

Of course, the only real diehard is Gao Yigong.But no matter how stubborn he was, he finally had to tell the truth after a pair of young children were caught by Yang Yizhong.

In fact, it is very simple. Qin Hui's plan is very vicious and far-reaching. If Zhao Guan's family launches the Northern Expedition a few years later, or loses a battle, violent internal conflicts may break out.However, once Qin Hui died, Li Bangyan and others were not innocent. In order to live like a master, they instigated many deposed members of the Jiangnan Gongge and big families in Zhejiang and Fujian who were unwilling to accept the family's decline. They also opposed the Song Dynasty. A noble daughter who is full of hatred but married into the clan.

It is said that Xue Bi also tried to contact Li Gang's youngest son Li Shenzhi to deceive the child. In the end, he was beaten by his father and could not get out of bed without saying anything treacherous to Li Gang.

In this regard, Zhao Guanjia said that we can doubt Li Gang and Li Gongxiang's military capabilities and defensive stance, but we cannot doubt his determination to resist the Jin Dynasty and his character as a scholar-official.

Of course, the result of this was that he failed to discover the conspiracy in time.

As for the crimes of Li Bangyan, Mo Chou, Xue Bi, Zhang Su, Tang Sidei and his son, and Zheng Yinian brothers, the Criminal Department reviewed them one by one and handed them over to the Secret Pavilion for review by Dali Temple.

The conclusion is very simple. The first four people beheaded the clan, the other two families protected them, and the whole family was exiled to Liaodong for development.As for the dead Yang Yuan, I'm sorry to have to open an autopsy, and the family members will sit together.Only Qin Hui and his wife were dead, their bodies were eaten by wild dogs, and the Wang family also ran away, so they could only issue sea arrest documents.

But the Zhao family probably was reminded that Zheng Yinian was a successor to do dirty work, so he made an exception and stayed.

Oh, by the way, there is also Gao Yigong. What is not mentioned is the punishment of Lingchi. According to the "Song Xingtong", if the two young children of the Gao family are not killed, they can enter the palace as chamberlains or be demoted to a lowly status.

Zhao Ding and others did not dare to specialize in such a major case, so they asked Zhao Guan's family to make the decision.Zhao Jiu saw it and said, "My gou Zhu means the lives of thousands of people from five families. It's too cruel."

Zhao Ding handed over his hand, "Officials have been treasonous since ancient times. This is because the scope of joint sitting has been reduced after the reform of the criminal system, and those under the age of 14 and over [-] are exempted from guilt. This is already a mercy."

Zhao Jiu said: "I still can't bear it. In this way, these people will be sent to Xiliao regardless of their age. Remember to tell Hu Hongxiu that the money will be collected per head."

Zhao Ding: "I obey the decree." I really think of you too noble. "It's just that Marquis Anding and the Marquis of Donghai County are members of the royal family. I dare not say anything and ask the officials to deal with it."

"Zhao Chen is the first to accuse, if he has merit, if he is not guilty, he will be sent to South Guangxi Road, and he will be the Duke of Kunming near Dali. As for Zhao Qi and the other four, I promised Mrs. Qiao that each of them would be demoted one level. , let her be sent to Nanyang for resettlement. That Han family, the daughter of Han Fang, has truly spread the rumors, so she will commit suicide and give her some dignity. Concubine Qiao Gui should not go back to Yangzhou again, and just retire in Tokyo."

Zhao Jiu explained everything clearly one by one. He looked at the ministers below who were hesitant to speak, and suddenly felt bored. They all wanted to ask Yuan Sheng how to deal with it but couldn't open their mouths, so he sighed: "My elder brother is also pitiful. His The concubine either died in Five Kingdoms City or remarried, the sister-in-law was martyred, and the son also fell out with her. Well, I heard that Han Qi was gentle and virtuous, so she asked Dongxiao Palace to make it easier and allowed her to build a house at the bottom of the mountain. House, every fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, I go to pay my respects to Yuansheng and fulfill my filial piety on behalf of my husband."

The prime ministers and ministers who participated in the whole process: You are planning to let Han Qiniang use her eloquence to express her filial piety for her father-in-law as soon as possible!Forget it, whoever caused this to happen is Yuan Sheng's own fault. If he didn't go out of his way, we didn't see it.

There are big things coming next.That's right, Zhao Guan's family is officially changing parents, bah, they will be adopted by uncle and aunt.

This is a big deal, but it’s not without cases to prove.Yingzong of this dynasty adopted the throne to Renzong, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, who had always been regarded as the benchmark for reaching ducks, even adopted himself to Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty after he succeeded to the throne in order to strengthen his legitimacy.

The Secret Pavilion, especially the Ministry of Rites, attached great importance to this, and repeatedly emphasized Zhe Zong's orthodox status and Empress Dowager Meng's kindness to the officials in official documents. It would be a human tragedy not to be reunited as a family of three.The Ministry of Rites and Guanglu Temple rehearsed the adoption process of Zhao Guan's family again and again. Anyway, there were only a few elders in Zhao Guan's family, and no one dared to say "no". Taishang Daojun and Emperor both "voluntarily" agreed to adopt the emperor's son. , this statement was published by Di Baoming.

Of course, it is said that Queen Mother Wei was very dissatisfied and caused several quarrels. The Zhao family was impatient to deal with her.Let Concubine Qiao directly persuade her. It is also said that the plastic sisters were so noisy that the roof nearly collapsed, but Queen Mother Wei stopped making trouble from the next day.

On the first day of October, the Zhao officials officially called Zhezong Zhaoxu "Huang Kao", Empress Dowager Meng as "Huang Concubine", changed Taishang Taoist Monarch as "Bird Father" and Emperor Uncle, Empress Dowager Wei as "Bird Mother", and Empress Dowager Zheng Known as the emperor's aunt, the status of the two empress dowagers remains the same, but they have become aunts since then.

Of course, all this was not without twists and turns. The great Confucian Liu Anshi wrote a letter against this kind of adoption, thinking that it violated filial piety.Moreover, some retired officials, such as Fan Zhen, believed that Zhezong took Zhaohuai Empress Liu Qingjing as his wife, and the officials should recognize her as his mother, because the restoration of Empress Dowager Meng was supported by courtiers, not the direct line.Regarding this, Zhao Guan’s reaction was to accept it but not reply, and then gave Zhezong and the two empresses posthumous titles. As for how to balance, let the adoptive father and his old man decide in the spirit of heaven.

Of course, these voices are very weak. This rebellion case has dealt a huge blow to some opposition officials in Jiangnan.Although many of them are upright and are not afraid of the shadow, they can't stand your in-law's son-in-law's friend who is a traitor. If they are involved in being dishonest, their reputation will be completely lost.For these Qingliu, it is simply murderous and heartbreaking.

Li Guang said it well, if you have no king and no father, you are no longer a scholar-official, not a human being.

Therefore, according to the auspicious day listed in the Qintian Prison, October 12th, Zhao Guanjia himself finally went to the Eight Tombs of Luoyang to pay homage to the Yongtai Tomb of Zhezong, [-] years after he ascended the throne.Of course, it was impossible to ask him to fast for three days, bathe and burn incense. He did not run a horse race and led the Imperial Guard to hunt ducks to give him face. During the specified time, he wore Xuanyi, a harem robe and a white bead on his head. There was Erqi's crown, carrying the Emperor's ceremonial guard, bowing profusely to the heir whom he had never seen before, reading the manuscript written by Li Xiuzhi and burning it himself.All this has moved Uncle Da Zongzheng Zhao to the point of being moved to tears. ——Although for the emperor, the ceremony has been simplified to the point that it cannot be simplified.

Even Zhao Jiu was not so disappointed when he refused to visit the tombs of his ancestors and only went to the tomb of Taizu to salute.Then the prime ministers and others visited the tombs of the previous emperors, burned the notices from the officials and changed their parents, and invited all the ancestors to witness.

It can only be said that if the officials are willful enough, if they are a little more obedient, they will make people extremely happy.

Wan Qixi, who was working on the side, was filled with emotion. Nine years ago, he and Hu Yin passed by the Eight Tombs in Luoyang and wanted to pay homage, but they learned that the Jin soldiers robbed the imperial tombs for funerary objects and to ruin the Feng Shui of the Song Dynasty. The coffin was opened in the tomb, and people like Lu Qing sacrificed many lives for protection.The mausoleum area was instantly littered with corpses and filled with fireworks, making it a dangerous place that even tigers and wolves would avoid.

Nowadays, although the officials do not like to offer sacrifices, they have already allocated funds to repair the resting places of the ancestors. It is not a problem to collect the bones and bury them again. If Taizu Taizong is really spiritual, he will not blame such willful officials.

After all, without the official family, the Song Dynasty was dead, so what kind of incense and sacrifices would they have? It’s hard to say that no one even collected the bones!

　Zhao Guan's family finally changed their parents.
