The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 51

When I returned, Wen Tianxiang Quanjiu and others tried their best to persuade me to transfer the Kuaiji Xiang Army to escort me, but I refused without hesitation. I would never believe the combat effectiveness of the Xiang Army. Trust the Mongols to do the same.

Although I have never met Yin Tianya, I can sense from Yuan Ji's words that this is an extraterrestrial expert, and most of these so-called superiors have a kind of arrogance, that is to say, the demeanor of a superior person, who cannot be hit by a single blow. Never do it the same way a second time.

The first court meeting day in the first year of Xianchun.

I congratulated each other with all the ministers in the hall, and wished the Great Song Dynasty a smooth and prosperous year in the first year of Xianchun.

Afterwards, I glanced over, and regardless of the joy on everyone's faces, my face suddenly turned cold: "I and Concubine Quan were going to visit relatives in Kuaiji, but we were attacked by Mongols on the way. It seems that someone in the court wants to see something happen to me." .”

These ministers basically all heard about my assassination, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

I raised my voice and continued: "Fortunately, I am destined to avoid this catastrophe."

Ma Tingluan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, saw that no one spoke, so he went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, there are many strange things about this matter. First, it is a matter of time. It takes at least half a month for my dynasty to travel to and from Mongolia; second, so many people entered my dynasty at the same time. In the territory, regard our frontier as a blank, and I ask your Majesty to order that the Ministry of Punishments strictly investigate, so as to prevent future troubles."

I nodded and looked at Jia Sidao and said, "Zunzuo, Shichen, you and the Ministry of Punishment will handle this matter."

Jia Sidao said with a half smile but not a smile: "Yes, the minister leads the order."

"Your Majesty, this is not an appropriate move." At this moment, one of the ministers came out and said, "Your Majesty Zhu Pisun has his roots."

Zhu Pisun, the right counselor at that time.

"Please speak, Zhu Aiqing."

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of our dynasty, any incident involving the royal family should be tried by the emperor or the royal family members appointed by the emperor to lead the criminal department. The rest of the ministers are not allowed to participate in it. Therefore, I think that Mr. Jia is wrong about this matter."

Veteran Jiang Wanli also came out to play and said: "Chen Jiang Wanli seconded the proposal, Master Zhu's words are in line with the law of our court."

All of a sudden, many admonishing doctors and censors came out to support Zhu Pisun.

I squinted at Jia Sidao, but seeing that he was not in a hurry, his eyes moved slightly to the right. The minister next to him ordered Weng Yinglong to come out of the class to play immediately: "Your Majesty, minister Weng Yinglong has a book to play."

In the late Song Dynasty, the Zhongshu Province held the administrative power, and it and the Privy Council, which was in charge of the military power, were collectively called the "two government".The highest official position in the Zhongshu Province is the Zhongshuling. There should have been two people in the Zhongshuling. They were divided into left and right Zhongshuling. Staff member Liao Yingzhong is also Jia Sidao's confidant.

"Weng Aiqing, please tell me."

"Your Majesty, although Master Zhu's words are in line with the laws of our dynasty, everything is time-sensitive. Although the laws of our ancestors are good, we should not copy them all. It is the so-called adapting to the times. Your Majesty has just ascended the dragon throne, and he is taking care of everything in accordance with our laws. In the court ritual system, within the first month of the first year of Xianchun, it is necessary to re-approve the officials of the third rank and above in the court, so that the courts, ministries, provinces and other government offices can operate normally. There is no one who can be chosen. Mr. Jia is an important minister of the late emperor Tuogu. He has always been loyal to our court and His Majesty. , After Lord Jia investigates clearly, report to His Majesty, and then His Majesty can make a decision, Your Majesty think twice."

What Weng Yinglong said is well-founded. I know that Weng Yinglong is Jia Sidao's second general Heng Ha. When he was a hall official in Zhongshu Province, he took refuge in Jia Sidao and has always been trusted by him.The final result of this matter must be nothing, so I waited for a moment and said: "Weng Aiqing is right, this matter is settled like this, I hope the teacher and minister will find out as soon as possible to ease my heart."

Jia Sidao bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will try my best."

I secretly paid attention to the people who opposed Jia Sidao, most of whom were from the Six Departments, but there were almost no objections from the Zhongshu Ministry and the Privy Council. It seems that these two core departments above the Six Departments are full of people from Jia Sidao.

"Okay, I'm going to bother you, Ma Tingluan."

"The minister is here."

"Currently, there is a temporary vacancy for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. You and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will report to me the list of officials above the third rank before the 25th. If there are vacancies, you can nominate them before the 26th. I will discuss it with you at the court meeting on the 27th and wait for my final approval. It will be announced to the public on February [-]."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Ma Aiqing, I've been thinking over and over again recently about the amnesty you mentioned in the New Year, and I won't accept it. I just need to ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to re-verify the serious case."

Ma Tingluan said: "I obey the order."

"Everyone who loves you, if you have a book, you will play it, and if you don't have a book, you will retreat from the court."

Going to court on the first day of the new year, I thought that everyone had no intention of being here, just like later generations, they would slowly get back to work after the fifteenth day, and when Xiaoqi was about to announce his retirement from the court, he heard Jia Sidao playing: " Minister Jia Sidao has a book to play."

"Master, please speak."

"Your Majesty, excuse me for the old minister's blunt statement. Your Majesty's visit to relatives this time is really too careless. He only brought a hundred guards forward to create an opportunity for the Mongol to assassinate him. This matter is obviously inappropriate. I suggest that His Majesty will go out again in the future. I will arrange for the imperial guards to escort you to protect your Majesty's safety, and your majesty's dragon body will involve our country, country, and society, so we must not be careless."

"Forbidden Army?"

"Exactly, there are [-] forbidden troops stationed in and around central Beijing, which can fully guarantee the safety of His Majesty's travels."

I suddenly remembered a record in history.

One day, just as the sacrificial ceremony was about to be held, there was a sudden downpour of rain. The official in charge of the emperor's carriage was Hu Xianzu, the father of Hu Guipin, who was favored by Song Duzong. Ask Prime Minister Jia!" Hu Xianzu hurried back to the palace, coaxing the emperor, saying: "The prime minister has already agreed." The emperor hurried back to the palace.After a while, the rain was over and the sky was clear. Jia Sidao thought that the emperor would come to preside over the ceremony, but he didn't want the emperor to return to the palace, so he was furious: "As a gift envoy, I can't even predict your majesty's actions, so I don't do it!" Immediately pretending Get out of the capital.The emperor begged for a few days, but Jia Xiang still ignored him, so he had to dismiss Hu Xianzu from office, and sent Hu Guipin to the temple to be punished as a nun in tears. Jia Sidao returned to the court with satisfaction.

If Jia Sidao arranges the imperial guards to escort me when I go out in the future, what freedom do I have?

I knew that Jia Sidao was using this trick to try my bottom line.I didn't know how to answer, and several thoughts flashed in my mind, but I denied them one by one.

Suddenly, my heart moved, and I said: "I naturally understand the concern of my teachers and ministers for me. It's just that I am the Son of Heaven. Why should I be afraid of those young people? Last night I went back to the palace to rest. I saw the late emperor in my sleep. The late emperor pleaded , I am the reincarnation of the star of fate in the sky, and all disasters will be turned into good fortune. I also said that the enemy's attack I encountered the day before yesterday has reached the heavens, and the sky will descend on February [-]st. Warn those who are disrespectful to me, and use this to prove that I am the destiny."

I paused for a while, looked at the dazed and unbelieving Jia Sidao and the ministers in the hall and continued: "That's why, if there is no image of a solar eclipse on February [-]st, then according to what my teachers and ministers said, if it appears , it proves that I am descended from the stars in the sky, so there is no need to work for the forbidden army."

A solar eclipse is a solar eclipse phenomenon, which usually occurs on Shuo Ri (the first day of the lunar calendar). It is a natural astronomical phenomenon. However, in ancient times, due to backward technology, astronomical phenomena were often associated with major events.The ancients were all superstitious, especially for such unexplainable celestial phenomena, they were often afraid.

This celestial phenomenon appeared when Song Duzong first came to the throne. I just took this opportunity to announce to the world and demonstrate to Jia Sidao that I am the son of heaven, born in response to the destiny.

The first emperor had a dream, and there was an eclipse every day. Whether Jia Sidao believed it or not, we will see each other on February [-]st.
