Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 97 New President Zhao Kuangyin!
Zhao Guangyi felt numb after hearing all the things he had done. He really couldn't understand the circumstances under which he would make such a decision.

Xiao Ran looked at him: "To be honest, as an emperor, although you are not notorious, your achievements are only so much."

"Many of them are due to Zhao Kuangyin's good foundation."

Xiao Ran's words were very direct, at least that's what he thought.

"Judging from historical records, how Zhao Guangyi sought to surpass Zhao Kuangyin in both civil and martial arts, but in the end, Zhao Guangyi could not escape the shadow of Taizu."

"After all, since ancient times, the succession of emperors has mostly been based on the death of father and son. Unless the emperor has no heirs, the throne will be passed on to brothers. Zhao Guangyi, I just want to ask you, what do you think you should do with Zhao Kuangyin after you ascend the throne? Son, those nephews of yours?"

Xiao Ran's question can be said to be a relatively direct question.

In fact, this is a well-known problem, let alone Xiao Ran and Zhao Kuangyin who already know the result.

Zhao Guangyi's face looked a little ugly, but he still insisted on saying: "My nephew is naturally a high-ranking official, well-paid, and has been crowned king for a lifetime."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Do you believe this? I guess you can't even fool yourself, right?"

"Besides, this period of history is also recorded in the history books. In order to make the throne appear reasonable in your hands, you fabricated a Golden Chamber Alliance. However, this reason alone can only allow you to sit on the throne while hiding from others. , there is no way for your son to continue to be emperor."

"So, you chose to force your nephew and brother to death so that no one can compete with you anymore."

Zhao Guangyi's face turned pale. He had no idea that all these things would be left in the records of history.

This stain cannot be washed away even if it takes more than a thousand years.

It's just that the temptation of the throne is too great now. Zhao Kuangyin has two sons, Dezhao and Defang. Once Zhao Guangyi ascends the throne, these two eldest nephews will be a thorn in his side.

"Before, I just said that Defang was forced to die, but I didn't say the specific reason. Now I will just mention this incident by the way."

"Seeing as Zhao Kuangyin that you have already paid one hundred taels of gold, this news is considered a gift, and there is no additional charge."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't think it mattered: "Gold and other things are trivial matters. Mr. Xiao has helped me so much, and I still have to get thousands of taels of gold."

"Once Dezhao's squadron returned to Beijing, Zhao Guangyi was unwilling to reward those who had contributed to the pacification of the Northern Han Dynasty because of the disadvantages of the Northern Expedition. Dezhao then asked for rewards for the soldiers."

"Actually, this thing makes sense. Even if the battle with Liao fails, the generals who have contributed to the defeat of the Northern Han Dynasty should still be rewarded."

"But Zhao Guangyi was not happy. He even told De Zhao that when he became emperor one day, it would not be too late for him to do it himself."

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi.

"If this is your ambition as an emperor, and you won't even reward meritorious ministers, just for the anger in your heart, I really don't think you can be a good emperor."

Even the other guards in the palace looked at Zhao Guangyi with a bit of contempt in their eyes.

Rewarding based on merit is what one should do. Those who serve as guards or soldiers want not only honor, but also substantial rewards.

If he is not even willing to give him a reward, how can any soldier sincerely serve him?

"What does this mean? Maybe it was just my angry words at the time." Zhao Guangyi also wanted to defend himself.

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "You just said it casually, but as soon as you said this, De Zhao was so frightened that he lowered his head and shed tears, speaking silently. When you were the emperor, De Zhao's status It's subtle, and your words clearly make you suspect that he has the intention to seize the throne."

"Dezhao thought at that time that life would be difficult in the future, and his parents passed away early. His two brothers were afraid that they would die in the future, but he had no place to talk to others about these concerns in his heart, so he gradually , I often have suicidal thoughts.”

"Later, he really committed suicide. You just panicked and regretted it for a while. You hugged his body and cried a few words. You ordered a grand burial and named him King of Wei. Dezhao was only twenty-nine years old when he died. You said, your angry words drove him to death, what does that mean?"

"How is this possible? It's just a sentence. Why commit suicide? Even if you are angry with me, it won't be like this." Zhao Guangyi still doesn't understand.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "This is just the last straw that breaks the camel's back. It's not that Dezhao, a grown man, doesn't have strong mental endurance, but that you made things difficult for him before and gave him too much. It's a lot of pressure. After he commits suicide, at least you won't embarrass other people related to him."

"After all, there is one less real contender for the throne, so you won't embarrass others. Speaking of which, two years after Dezhao died, Defang died inexplicably again at the age of twenty-three. At that time, you The two major hidden dangers inherited by Zhao Guangyi have been eliminated."

"When they die, the only person who can pose a threat to your throne is Qin Wang Tingmei."

Zhao Kuangyin asked at this time: "How did the third brother die?"

"Even though I have been in office for so many years, I have always treated my two brothers with sincerity."

In fact, for Zhao Kuangyin, the love between brothers is not shallow.

After all, they have been together for so many years to conquer the world together.

It's just that after becoming the emperor, the world's surname was Zhao, and the emotions gradually became weak under the impact of power and interests. This is also a path that the royal family has to take. This path depends on human nature.

The only exception was during the Zhu Yuanzhang period. Zhu Biao, who was the prince at that time, was half a father to his younger brothers. Therefore, no one had any second thoughts and wanted to usurp the throne. However, in the normal historical trajectory, Zhu Biao died, Zhu Xiongying also died, and later the vassal was reduced, forcing Zhu Di to rebel.

However, this is a digression. What we are talking about now is the Song Dynasty.

Now the atmosphere in the palace has become anxious.

Even Empress Song didn't look very good when she looked at Zhao Guangyi. She originally thought that Zhao Guangyi had just replaced the throne, but she didn't expect that in order to make her position more stable, he even gave up his brothers. Even my nephews were not spared.

"How could I attack Tingmei?" Zhao Guangyi still wanted to force himself out of what Xiao Ran said, "Even if I have this intention, I can't do it."

"You really don't dare to attack Tingmei blatantly, but in order to ensure that the throne can be passed on to your descendants, you will think of other ways. Well, Zhao Pu has given you a good idea."

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this name, he thought of it: "I remember this person. He was finally dismissed as prime minister because of his dictatorial power and greed for money. At that time, someone told me that Zhao Pu criticized Zhao Guangyi. Later, Zhao Pu filed a self-regulatory petition and said that the emperor's brother was loyal and filial. How could he take it lightly? Discuss." As he said that, thinking of this person, Zhao Kuangyin's face darkened a bit. Thinking of what he once said about Zhao Guangyi's loyalty and filial piety, he felt even more slapped in the face now.

"How did this guy become a confidant with Zhao Guangyi?"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't understand this.

"Do you still remember Lu Duoxun? He is Zhao Pu's political enemy."

Speaking of Lu Duoxun, the expression on Zhao Kuangyin's face was quite satisfactory: "This man is alert and likes to read. Every time when I call him, I ask the ministers about things in the books, and only Lu Duoxun answers like this Liu, I made you prime minister."

"However, he has indeed been at odds with Zhao Pu."

Xiao Ran just felt that these two people were not good people. Although they had contributed to the court, they were not pure ministers.

"In the early years of Taizong, Zhao Pu was neglected. Lu Duoxun was afraid that he would come back, so he told Zhao Guangyi that Zhao Pu had objected to Taizu passing the throne to him. A few years later, Taizong's old colleagues when he was the king of Jin exposed Qin Wang Tingmei Conspiracy to rebel. Zhao Guangyi was doubtful and asked Zhao Pu for his opinion. This gave Zhao Pu a chance to stand out."

"What did he say at that time?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"I don't know about this. After all, many things are not recorded in detail in history. Except for the emperor, other ministers have so much writing about them."

"However, this time Zhao Pu finally seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to say that he had been harmed by Lu Duoxun, and agreed with Empress Dowager Du's Golden Chamber Alliance. Now, Zhao Guangyi suddenly felt that Zhao Pu turned out to be his most loyal minister. Later, Zhao Pu found out When it came to the matter of Lu Duoxun privately sending court officials to visit Tingmei, he said that Lu Duoxun was looking forward to Zhao Guangyi's early departure so that he could serve Tingmei to the best of his ability. Tingmei expressed satisfaction and also gave Lu Duoxun a bow and arrows and other things."

"At this time, Tingmei had a reason to be punished. Later, Zhao Pu went a step further and instigated Kaifeng Magistrate Li Fu to add insult to injury. He said that Tingmei would not change her past and would be resentful. So Tingmei was demoted to Fuling County. Mr., he was relocated to Fangzhou. In the end, he was depressed and angry to death, and he was only thirty-eight years old."

"Come here, hurry up and kill Zhao Pu!" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't sit still after hearing this, and ordered the guards around him to do things one after another.

The guards were all angry, and two of them immediately stood up and quickly went to do their work.

Zhao Pu, who was still under the covers at this time, probably didn't even know why he had lost his head.

"Oh, in fact, Zhao Guangyi is quite indifferent. After Tingmei died, he claimed that Tingmei was the son of the wet nurse Chen Guo, Mrs. Geng, and not the Queen Mother Du. This time, even his life experience and The life experiences of Tingmei's descendants have all changed. Moreover, Empress Dowager Du has passed away a long time ago, and there is no evidence of her death. Except for himself, no one has the right to speak. "

"And he is the emperor, no one dares to refute this."

"Okay, I won't say any more now. Second brother, you have heard what you have done yourself, so you must already know it in your mind."

Zhao Kuangyin's words can be regarded as a summary.

"Then what are you going to do with me?" Zhao Guangyi laughed miserably, feeling that all this was so confusing to him.

It was too sudden, and the appearance of this person named Xiao Ran was even more sudden.

"Confined Zhao Guangyi within the capital, imprisoned in the palace, and will not be allowed to come out again in this life. No one is allowed to visit or submit letters. Those who are sincerely willing to serve by your side will be rewarded."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and finally made a decision.

If he really killed his own brother, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing. After all, what Xiao Ran said was something that would happen in the future, and it had not actually happened yet.

When everything is still nipped in the bud, to be imprisoned for a lifetime and to be a prince in the palace for a lifetime, this is the place where Zhao Kuangyin feels that he is the most benevolent and righteous.

"Okay, I have successfully completed this order. Please settle the bill."

After watching Zhao Kuangyin order the rest in an orderly manner, boxes after boxes of gold were also brought up.

When the box was opened, Xiao Ran felt that the golden color was dazzling.

In fact, the gold given in the previous order was only one hundred taels, but now looking at the gold given by Zhao Kuangyin, it is really too much, too much!
Xiao Ran accepted all the gold, but saw the jade in his hand flashing, and another position was added, which was the president of the Song Dynasty department.

"It seems that all these positions have been arranged by the system." Xiao Ran murmured to himself, then turned to look at Zhao Kuangyin, "Now I have an additional position of president here. Are you interested?"

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up instantly: "I can do this too? Does it mean that as long as I become the president you mentioned, I can travel through time and space like you?"

Zhao Kuangyin has already begun to plan for the future of the Song Dynasty.

"This is not so casual. There are certain conditions. If you want to go to my place, you need to apply through Jade. You can only go after I agree. But if you come back, you can come back at will."

"As for seeing other dynasties, you can only go there when there are orders from other dynasties. But as the president of the Song Dynasty branch, you can take orders from the Song Dynasty as long as they are from the Song Dynasty. , that is to say, there is still a chance to see future generations.”

"That's good, that's good." Zhao Kuangyin listened and felt dissatisfied. He was so happy that he waved his hand and arranged for someone to bring another night-light pearl to Xiao Ran.

"This is just a small token of appreciation for Mr. Zhao." Zhao Kuangyin was very generous.

Of course, Xiao Ran accepted it without any courtesy. If you get this thing now, you can exchange it for several apartments. Don't give it up for free.

"Okay, then you don't need to click Complete to place your order. You can also tell other customers in the future. If you don't click Complete, we can go over and take a look at it at any time."

Xiao Ran reminded him a few words, and after thinking about it, it was nothing, so he went back.

……

Jimo ancient city.

Xiao Ran threw himself on the soft big bed and rolled around comfortably.

"You have to be the best in your own family. This time you will make a fortune!"
