The struggle of the reborn prince

Zhao Ji has made up his mind and made up his mind about inner Zen. It seems that he does not love the imperial power, but in fact he is afraid to do things bravely. He wants to evade responsibility when the disaster is imminent, throw away the responsibility and burden, and act like a turtle.If he abdicated himself and directly handed over the power to Zhao Huan, it would cause shocks in the government and the public, and heated discussions. How to keep his dignity and let his son succeed him was the question he should think carefully about.

The emperor wanted to pass on the crown prince, and wanted to move the capital to Nanjing. At this time, Wang Fu was gone. Cai You knew what Zhao Ji meant, and he knew that he had always pushed Zhao Kai to the throne. The crown prince hated him a long time ago. If Zhao Heng really became the emperor , I have absolutely no good fruit to eat.Now that he got the letter, he hastened to tell Wu Min to Shizhong and Quanzhi Academy and attendant, because Cai You knew that the emperor could listen to his words the most, meaning that he wanted him to persuade the emperor to give up the idea of ​​inner Zen.

But Cai You didn't expect Wu Min to make a new friend now. This person is Li Gang, Taichangqing who is in charge of rituals, music, and suburban temple affairs. I didn't know about Kaifeng Mu.Li Gang thought that it was for the sake of staying behind to let the crown prince go out to herd at this time, but the enemy is rampant and the two rivers are in danger, so it may not be enough to call on the four parties if the crown prince is not passed on to the crown prince.

Wu Min thinks so, but he thinks it's not convenient for them as courtiers to say things like Nei Chan at this time, so it's better to invite the prince to supervise the country.But Li Gang disagreed. He took Tang Suzong's Lingwu incident as an example and insisted that "not building a name is not enough to restore the state", and asked Wu Min to tell the emperor in private when he entered, and Wu Min agreed.

All kinds of news continued to spread to Bianjing, but at this moment it was difficult to tell the truth from the false, and the palace guards were shocked overnight.Zhao Ji successively issued decrees to stop Huashi Gang and create bureaus inside and outside.Summoning the king of Qin Tianxia may not feel sincere enough.He also dismissed the palace officials, dismissed Taoist officials, Dasheng Mansion, and Xingxing Bureau, and appointed Yu Wenxuzhong as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei and Hedong Road, and called all the troops to help. In the division, lead the soldiers into the guard.

But all these far waters cannot quench the near thirst, so Zhao Ji convened his close ministers to discuss countermeasures. At this time, some people proposed to move the capital to Nanjing, and some hoped to stick to it.Some advocated peace talks, but there was no result in the chaos, so Zhao Ji had no choice but to give up for the time being, but he showed his intention to get out as soon as possible and take refuge in the south of the Yangtze River.

After Wu Min learned about it, he met the emperor again. As a messenger on both sides of the war, what he said at the moment depends on where his butt is crooked. In the end, he answered with Li Gang's words, thinking that now the people in the capital heard about the Jinren Go on the offensive.People's hearts were shaken, there were those who planned to flee, those who planned to stick to it, and those who planned to treason and defect to the enemy.With three kinds of people guarding a city together, the city will undoubtedly be destroyed.

This is the question that Zhao Ji is most worried about, so he will naturally ask him.Wu Min is not stupid either.Of course, I dare not bluntly tell the emperor to meditate inside, but first played with Duke Zhou to interpret dreams.It reveals the meaning of letting him let the prince take over.His "dream talk" hit Zhao Ji's mind, and he saw that he was calm and unhurried.Talking eloquently, the melancholy dissipated a lot unconsciously.

Then Wu Min is also a person who can observe words and expressions. Seeing that the emperor's color is a little faded, he hurriedly strikes the iron to play again, and asks the emperor if the emperor patrols the southeast.These words are a bit blatant, and it is almost impossible to say that your majesty was captured by the Jurchens halfway, and who will the throne pass to!Zhao Ji had already made up his mind about the position of Zen, but he said it a little bit now, so he shook his head and pretended not to know, just in time to check the attitude of his subordinates and whether he could get support, so he motioned Wu Min to continue.

"If the person appointed by Your Majesty to guard the capital has prestige, then the guard will be solid, so that Your Majesty can rest assured to patrol." Wu Min was afraid that his point of view would not be convincing, so he added the immortal way: "If Your Majesty can adopt the minister's strategy Your Majesty has been building the Shenxiao Palace for many years. The Emperor of Longevity has a boundless life. However, if there is no Emperor Qinghua next to the Emperor of Longevity, the Emperor of Longevity will not be able to live without boundless life. Emperor Qinghua is the crown prince."

Wu Min said that this is exactly what Zhao Ji thought, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard it. Seeing the emperor's attitude, Wu Min knew that his bet was right, and took the opportunity to say: "If your majesty can make a plan, the Central Plains will be counted from then on." It will still be China for a hundred years, and it cannot be determined. The Central Plains will be reduced to Barbarians and Dies in hundreds of years. If there are suitable candidates to defend the city, if after three days, the prestige of the defenders is not enough to convince the crowd, and the Jin people attack the city, there will be nothing to talk about."

These words are straightforward to let the emperor take the Zen throne as soon as possible, how could Zhao Ji not understand!And his next move needs someone to cooperate, and the person in front of him is the right person, so he doesn't have to pretend anymore, and the two of them held a closed-door meeting...

On December 23, the memorial written by Li Ganghuai went to the palace to call for a meeting. Zhao Ji summoned the gang for an interview.When Zhao Ji saw that it was a blood book, he couldn't help being moved by it, and read the play and said: "It's normal for the crown prince to supervise the country."Now the enemy is attacking, safety is in danger, in the breath, you still observe the common etiquette, is it possible? The name is not right, but when you are in power, how can you call on the world and hope for success? Keep the Zongshe, accept the hearts of the soldiers, and fight the enemy with death, and the world can be saved!

After Zhao Ji saw it, he decided to practice inner Zen. After retiring from the court, Wu Min went to the capital hall to see Li Bangyan and said, "The upper mind has been decided. Today I should discuss with my minister what should be implemented." Then he summoned Wu Min and Li Bangyan, and they went Take out a post and show it to Li Bangyan, which is full of things that Zhao Ji personally approved to implement, such as in what name to abdicate, where to live after abdication, and what to call after abdication. In the West Garden, King Yun dismissed the Imperial City Secretary, Wu Min got rid of his servant, and the servant who was good at Longde Palace was beheaded and other trivial matters...

In the evening of that day, Zhao Ji summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs in Yuhua Pavilion. During the event, Zhao Ji said to Cai You: "I am usually strong, but I don't expect Jin people to be so rampant." He took Cai You's hand, and suddenly fainted and fell Fell under the royal bed.The Minister of Zaizhi urgently called on the left and right to help Zhao Ji to the East Pavilion of Xuanhe Hall, and poured soup and medicine, so that Zhao Ji came to life.

He asked for a pen and paper, and wrote with his left hand: "I have no half left, so what a big deal?" The officials looked at each other, speechless.Zhao Ji wrote again: "Why don't you speak a word?" No one dared to agree. Zhao Ji wrote by himself: "Prince Huan can be the emperor, and the leader of the Taoist government will retire to Longde Palace." He said loudly, Wu Min is a minister promoted by me personally, and he must live up to my bow. It can be said that he came to draft the abdication edict and summoned the crown prince into the palace.

A series of emergencies knocked everyone's souls away. No one expected that the emperor, who had always been in good health, would have a stroke and hemiplegia in the heyday of spring and autumn, let alone that the emperor would pass the throne to the prince as soon as he woke up. It's like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the unprepared ministers can only obey orders at this moment, even if they know something is wrong, they can't do anything under the watchful eyes of everyone!

In fact, all of this was planned, and there must be a reason for the Zen position. It cannot be said that the emperor was frightened by the Jin army's invasion of the south, but after thinking about it, Zhao Ji thought that since he wanted the Zen position, he had to call it sick, otherwise there would be chaos. The reason is simple and easy. Now that the situation is severe, it is not appropriate to let a patient who cannot move half of his body to lead the war of resistance. The Zen position has become a smooth thing. It's just that Zhao Ji's acting skills are so good that he fooled everyone.

Since Zhao Ji had already told Wu Min about the abdication, Wu Min made it happen with a stroke of his mind.After reading it, Zhao Ji changed the word "望" in the sentence "I will retire to the old palace under the title of Daojun" to "Yu", and wrote in the lower left corner of the edict: I am very comforted by this.Bai Shizhong felt that something was wrong at this moment, but the emperor kept writing "Young Master" on the paper, and Bai Shizhong had no choice but to accept the edict.

Things have come to this point, but the other protagonist, Zhao Heng, still doesn't know about the great changes in the palace. He only thinks that his father is seriously ill, and when he enters the door, he throws himself on the couch and cries loudly. Tong Guan and Li Bangyan put a yellow robe on him.Only then did Zhao Heng realize that his father was going to pass the seat to him, so he hurriedly avoided and refused to sit down.

Zhao Ji wrote with his left hand: "If you don't accept it, you will be unfilial."

The prince replied: "If the minister accepts it, he will be unfilial."

Zhao Ji ordered someone to invite the queen to persuade him, but Zhao Huan still refused.

This matter was a bit beyond Zhao Ji's expectation. According to the rules of etiquette, the new emperor had to enter the throne three times and resign three times. It was said that the scene was over, and the new emperor should agree, but Zhao Huan just refused.Zhao Ji had no choice but to order his servant Zhao Huan to take the throne in Funing Hall.

The matter has come to this point, there is no room for maneuver, so they can only be sent to the Funing Hall by force, where all the prime ministers are already waiting, but Zhao Huan just refuses to ascend the throne, throws and kicks people, struggles hard, suddenly falls to the ground, He also passed out.

At this time, no one could know Zhao Huan's mood, let alone guess whether he was genuine or not.But his dizziness is probably not caused by the sudden happiness and excitement, it should be more of a surprise!

His father was at the peak of spring and autumn, and he suddenly wanted to pass on the throne to him without any sign of illness or disaster. He couldn't figure out whether it was a deliberate temptation or a sincere one; He is not favored by his father, his courtiers run on him, and his brothers don’t take him seriously. The third grandson has been a coward for a long time. Passed out when blood pressure rose!

It was getting late at this time, but it was not yet announced that he would retire from the imperial court. Hundreds of civil and military officials stood in the Chuigong Hall. Prime Minister Bai Shizhong announced that the new emperor had already ascended the throne without waiting for the crown prince to ascend the throne. All the officials expressed their willingness to see the new emperor. Let the officials retreat from the court, and meet again tomorrow.

After Zhao Huan woke up, it was a done deal and could only obey the imperial edict. He had no choice but to take over the mess from his father, and climbed to the peak of power amidst the ups and downs. But where is the road ahead of him? (To be continued..)
