The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 142 In the Name of the Father
In Longde Palace, Emperor Daojun took the initiative to summon the ministers for the first time after his abdication.

This kind of thing is very sensitive.

But Emperor Daojun felt that now was the time.

Because in the name of the father, worrying about the crown prince is naturally righteous.

The three factions who were quarreling over the matter of establishing the crown prince were evenly matched and felt that if they could get a little support from the Supreme Emperor at this time, the result would be very different.

So at this time, there was no need to worry about avoiding suspicion.

This is a small political compromise.

This kind of political compromise, especially the creation of objective conditions for compromise by all parties, Emperor Daojun can be said to be very skilled in playing it.

Looking at the life of Emperor Daojun, it is not as labeled by some people in later generations, as if this man was a fool at all, and even a dog on the dragon's throne could do better than him.

But the fact is that Emperor Daojun was not only not a fool, but also very manipulative. Looking at the 300 years of the Song Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to rank in the top three.

The reason why it has a dreamy start, a solid middle, but a messy ending is called a failure in overcoming the catastrophe in fantasy terms, a strategic deviation in political terms, and a miscalculation in business terms.

It's too complicated, so I won't show it for now.

When Emperor Daojun saw that the representatives of each faction had arrived, he opened his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Sit down, everyone, sit down."

King Bi took the futon and placed it on the ground.

After a few people thanked them, they sat cross-legged on the futon used for monks and waited for the Supreme Emperor to speak.

"I have also heard about the matter of establishing a crown prince. No matter what attitude all the gentlemen hold, on the matter of establishing a crown prince, everyone is unanimous, and so am I." Emperor Daojun sighed: "If Fu Jin is still the emperor's concubine, and I don't dare to trouble all my husbands with family affairs. But now, this is not only my family affair, but also the state affairs of the Song Dynasty. I am not only Fu Jin's biological father, but also a descendant of the Zhao family. I am worried. .”

Among these people, Li Bangyan was the closest to Emperor Daojun. Seeing Emperor Daojun's sadness, he immediately answered: "The Supreme Emperor actually does not need to worry, the official family has agreed to choose a good match for the harem, and the Supreme Emperor's Gen Yue will be blessed. In a few years, the official family will be prosperous."

When Emperor Daojun heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his brows, and then he returned to normal: "Fu Jin really agreed?"

Li Bangyan nodded: "The official said it himself at Akihito Palace a few days ago."

Emperor Daojun looked at Li Gang and Li Ruoshui again, as if seeking confirmation.

Li Gang said: "Even if the officials agree, this matter is not appropriate."

Emperor Daojun's eyes lit up: "Oh? Why is it inappropriate?"

Li Gang said frankly: "When a woman gives birth to a child, it is a matter of going to hell. Even if the hospital takes good care of her, it will take ten months to conceive. During this period, the government will be busy with state affairs. How hard is it for the official family? This is one of them."

Before Li Gang could say the second point, Li Bangyan interrupted: "As ministers, we have to live with the emperor's salary, so we should share the worries of the officials. When we are pregnant in ten months, we will have to take care of the court affairs, so why do we need officials?"

Li Gang sneered: "Does Xianggong Li want to manage the government on his behalf? I'm just afraid that Xianggong Li doesn't have the ability. But don't forget that the troubles in the Jin country have not been solved. If the official is really pregnant and the Jin soldiers invade the south, then , Li Xianggong is in charge of government? Are you afraid that the remaining wealth in Emperor Longde Palace will be sold by Li Xianggong again? "

These words left Li Bangyan speechless, his fair and round face flushed, but he could not say anything to refute.

"Secondly, although the marriage has been around for a long time, but after looking through the history books, there is no mention of the empress recruiting a child. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was just for the enjoyment of his disciples and treated him with respect. He never gave birth to an heir, let alone inherited Li. Tang Jiangshan!"

Emperor Daojun frowned and nodded: "It is indeed inconsistent with etiquette."

Li Bangyan argued: "You don't have to worry about such things. As for etiquette, just ask the Ministry of Rites to look through the ancient books of the sages. You can always find something that is consistent with etiquette and law."

What Li Bangyan said is not unreasonable. The ancient books of sages are to provide theoretical support for politicians. Anyway, the final power of interpretation lies in the hands of politicians. If necessary, they dare to explain "food, sex, and sex" Cheng: "It's our nature to sleep with girls, so I not only want to sleep, but I also want to sleep a lot."

However, if you interpret it as meaning that is not in line with the interests of politicians, then you are heresy and treason.

Otherwise, why do you think Confucius wanted to kill Shaozhengmao?Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty praise Dong Zhongshu so highly?Why was Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism scorned in the Song Dynasty?
This truth remains unchanged.

"Thirdly, after a hundred years of the official family, the heir of the official family ascends the throne. If the government is stable, that's fine. If it is unstable, someone will definitely marry into the family and make trouble without being orthodox. What will happen by then? I don't know what the situation will be like. It’s hard to estimate.”

Emperor Daojun heard this and glanced at King Bi next to him.The king forced him to wave his hands repeatedly: "Don't worry, dad. If my son and I have descendants, I will teach them from an early age and will never let them have the desire to fight for power."

Emperor Daojun smiled bitterly: "When the time comes, I won't be able to help myself if I'm afraid of you."

The subtext forced the king to understand clearly that his biological father was now a living example.

Li Gang continued: "So I believe that we should imitate Taizu Taizong and form the Golden Chamber Alliance, where brothers will eventually become brothers. Only in this way can we be sure of everything in terms of legal principles."

Without waiting for Emperor Daojun to express his position, Li Ruoshui said: "You can also adopt him from the clan."

Emperor Daojun immediately objected: "How can we endure the separation of flesh and blood? Don't mention this matter again."

This time, Li Ruoshui's proposal was directly rejected.

Li Bangyan thought to himself that even if Li Gang said it carefully, based on his relationship with Emperor Daojun, Emperor Daojun would support his idea. However, he didn't expect that Emperor Daojun didn't even ask him and just looked at him. Li Gang asked: "Then, who among Fu Jin's brothers do you think is worthy of this position?"

Naturally, Li Gang refused to say anything about this kind of proposition: "This matter should be decided by the officials. It is inconvenient for us to say more."

Emperor Daojun looked at King Bi again: "You can't do it anyway, don't even think about it. If you dethrone the crown prince, Fu Jin will think that I am crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?"

The king was frightened and quickly expressed his position: "I don't dare. I am living an extremely happy life now, but I have no other thoughts."

After the father and son sang in harmony, Emperor Daojun stood up slowly, and everyone else stood up as well. Emperor Daojun made a Taoist salute: "To relieve my son Fujin's worries, and to extend the country of the Song Dynasty to Zuo, I, my old father, I would like to ask all of you, sir, to speak frankly to Fu Jin."

After the three people left, Emperor Daojun was in a good mood, burning incense and making tea: "Now, it is the best policy for us, father and son, to let King Kang be the governor of Kaifeng."

King Bi smiled lightly: "Dad, are you anxious to establish a heir apparent, or are you anxious to help Brother Jiu become the governor of Kaifeng?"

"It is impossible to establish a crown prince. What kind of temperament does Fu Jin have? How can Li Gang and others persuade him to change?" Emperor Daojun said with a smile while grinding tea.

The king forced him to nod: "Then father also summoned them to discuss matters?"

"Let them put pressure on Fu Jin. Even if Fu Jin is determined not to marry or establish a son, he still has to compromise. Now the only thing Fu Jin can compromise is the position of governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. You can turn around and let him He took enough money to go to the daily newspaper office and asked people to write some articles for King Kang to build momentum."

The king forced him to clapped his hands: "Yes, Jiu Geer Mou Tuo Gang scolded Zong Wang. The Pingshan bandits in Taiyuan City have a high reputation."

Emperor Daojun pulled a bunch of camellias into the Xingyao Cup and said with a satisfied smile: "When Prince Kang takes the position of governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, no matter whether Fu Jin says it or not, all the ministers in the court will think that it is the position of crown prince, and they will naturally understand it." A group of people come together to form a force, so we, father and son, no longer have to worry."

"But father, do you think we can control Brother Jiu? I think during this period, Brother Jiu is always talking to my sister." Wang Bi was a little worried.

Emperor Daojun pushed the Xing Yaozhan to King Bi and said with a smile: "We can't control it. There is also Weishi. She obeys my words."

King Bi picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp, as if he was savoring the aroma of the tea, but also as if he was thinking about it. After a moment, King Bi muttered in a low voice: "I always feel that my sister really wants the lives of our father and son..."

Emperor Daojun gave him a disgusted look: "Think about what I have gone through during this period of becoming a father. I almost... Hey, think about yourself. A few days ago, you were almost drowned by those scoundrels from the Cao Gang. Why don't you die in the Bianhe River without a break?"

King Bi recalled the embarrassing experience that day and couldn't help but feel frightened: "Then, what happens next?"

"After what?"

"After Ninth Brother became the governor of Kaifeng, my father wouldn't want to..." King Bi pointed at the sky, meaning that he would become a great treasure again.

Emperor Daojun was startled: "What are you thinking about? My father just wants to live peacefully in the mortal world for another seven years, and then fly to the heaven to become my god, King Yuqing of the Sky, and let King Kang protect the law for the time being."

"What about...the child?"

Emperor Daojun let out a long sigh, returned to the futon, lifted his robe and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes: "Everyone has his own destiny, so why worry about it."
