The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 72 The Tragic Zhang Yongde
In fact, Chai Rong was still handling the government affairs when he was ill, and those important government affairs in Bianjing were also delivered to Chai Rong at high speed.

Chai Rong, who was ill that day, was sick to review the expedited memorial, and suddenly found a Wei woven bag with a three-foot-long wooden board inside, with the words "check to be the emperor" on it.

Chai Rong's heart skipped a beat immediately, the Son of Heaven is the Emperor, and the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven.

It is to replace the heaven to rule the world. People in ancient times were superstitious, so the emperor was destined to be the emperor.

The person who checked was his brother-in-law Zhang Yongde, the son-in-law of Taizu Guo Wei. Now Chai Rong panicked and immediately hid the wooden plaque pretending to be calm.

He immediately recalled his most trusted general, Zhao Kuangyin, from the front line.At the same time, it was ordered to change Waqiaoguan to Xiongzhou and let Chen Sirang stay behind.

Change Yijinguan to Bazhou, let Han Lingkun stay behind, and then order Luanjia to return to Beijing.What Chai Rong didn't know was that when he received the wooden sign, someone was whispering:

"Did you put that thing in it and present it to the emperor?"

"Yes, my lord has submitted it, without anyone noticing it, don't worry, my lord!" The man even patted his chest to reassure.

"I don't worry about your work, but there can be no mistakes in this matter. Also, does the emperor drink that kind of ginseng tea every time for three years?"

"Don't worry, my lord, for the past three years, I will offer a cup to His Majesty every day, all in accordance with my lord's instructions, then, my lord, are you..." The man looked at the person opposite him in a panic.

"Don't worry, when our major event is completed, you will be the hero, and your family will also be the hero. I will treat them well, don't worry." After finishing speaking, he patted him on the shoulder kindly.

But he was thinking in his heart:

"Your family has already gone to see Taizu, and you can't stay. The less people who know about this matter, the better."

This is just what he thought in his heart, if Zhang Yongde must know him here, this is Li Chongjin, Li Chongjin who came here from thousands of miles away.

It's not that Chai Rong asked him to come, but that he has repeatedly expressed his willingness to follow the emperor to make contributions, but Chai Rong has no choice but to say that he does not support the generals in making contributions.

So he was transferred from Yangzhou. In fact, what Chai Rong didn't know was that his relative had other plans.

The person who talked to him just now was an eunuch who was in charge of serving tea and water for Chai Rong, but he was forced by Li Chongjin to do some other things.

The eunuch had no children himself, but he had parents and relatives. Li Chongjin threatened him with this and asked him to add something to Chai Rong's tea every day.

This kind of thing will not kill people, but it will become highly poisonous after a long time, which means that Chai Rong has been slowly taking poison for so many years.

So as time goes by, his body will fail, and if his body fails, if he dies of illness on the way, some things will be troublesome.

Chai Rong did not establish a prince, so the major events were unknown. At this time, Li Chongjin rushed to the front line from Yangzhou.

This guy was very brave during the Northern Expedition to Khitan, and he didn't have any temper when he beat the Khitan's ally, Emperor Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, he was also rewarded by Emperor Chai Rong, but the purpose of his visit this time was not just to want the emperor's reward.

He counted the time well, knowing that Chai Rong was likely to get sick during this period of time, this was an excellent opportunity.

His purpose is very clear, in case the emperor has any accidents on the way, he must seize the opportunity.

But there is another person who has a similar status to me and has a certain relationship with Chai Rong, and that is Zhang Yongde.

So I came up with a trick to remove Zhang Yongde from the core and make Chai Rong not trust him, so he would have no chance.

Li Chongjin was still proud of his scheme, but he didn't expect that he drove away a wolf, but attracted a tiger instead.

In the end, Dazhou's world was also ruined. I don't know if Li Chongjin would regret it if he knew what happened in the end.

But now Li Chongjin was still dreaming of his great dream, while Zhao Xu was holding a piece of information he had just received.

The above is a detailed introduction to the situation of the northern expedition to Khitan, and Chai Rong was ill and had to return to Bianjing.

Although there was nothing else, Zhao Xu had almost guessed it. It seemed that Chai Rong was still ill. This time, it seemed that the dynasty was really about to change.

It had been a long time since Zhao Xu returned to Bianjing. He didn't have any official position now, and everyone thought he was dead.

Chai Rong also posthumously named him Founding Marquis, but no other person has been appointed to the post of Marquis of Yu in front of the palace.

Even the current principal of the Forbidden Army Military Academy still bears his name, which makes him at a loss as to what to do.

Zhao Xu stayed at home with his grandma and mother honestly. Grandma's death made grandma very sad.

As for his disappearance, he was considered to be dead. Both his grandmother and mother fell ill, and his two relatives recovered soon after his return.

What made him even more happy was that he had a younger brother named Zhao Dexiu, who was the eldest son of Zhao Kuangyin who died young in history.

He didn't expect that his appearance made him the second child, but Zhao Xu showed unprecedented love for this younger brother.

In the previous life, I was an orphan, and the only one closest to me was an old man who raised me. Now I have a complete family.

So I still love this younger brother quite a lot. I tease him when I have nothing to do, and I still go shopping with Gao Guiying when I have free time.

But he didn't just live his life like this. While people were paying attention to the movement of the emperor and news from the capital, he also stepped up his preparations.

I saw a few carriages driving out of Zhao's residence every day. I don't know who they were, but they came back after a while, and they came and went many times a day.

He didn't suspect anything because everyone thought that he was someone who came to visit Zhao's residence. Zhao Kuangyin was in a high position now, and there were quite a few people who wanted to curry favor with him.

Having said that, Chai Rong and his party had already returned to Chanyuan, it was already dark at this time, and the emperor stopped here and did not leave.

At the same time, Chai Rong also issued an edict, that is, people below Zaifu are only allowed outside the door, and are not allowed to enter to see him.

There was a lot of discussion for a while, but I didn't dare to come in and ask what happened. They were all guessing what happened.

So everyone found Zhang Yongde, who was the governor of Chanyuan at this time and also served as the inspector in front of the palace. Everyone believed that Zhang Shuai was the emperor's brother-in-law, and he could be regarded as the emperor's own person.

Zhang Yongde is an honest man, he believes what other people say, he is a full-fledged honest man, this honest man usually has nothing, but at this juncture he hit the mountain.

These people persuaded Zhang Yongde to see the emperor for very good reasons, and told Zhang Yongde:
"Now His Majesty is in poor health, the hearts of the people in the world are unstable, and the capital is empty. Some feudal towns are waiting to see our jokes. If something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome. Please return to Beijing as soon as possible, Your Majesty! "

It has been said above that Zhang Yongde is an honest person, and the honest person is being used as a gun by others, and I don't know it yet.

On the contrary, Zhang Yongde felt that what everyone said was very reasonable, so he went in to see Chai Rong and told Chai Rong the above words.

Chai Rong forced a smile: "Is this what you mean?" Chai Rong knew that he couldn't say such a thing, so he asked him like that.

If Chai Rong didn't need to do this at all, but now that he is seriously ill, these people will start to jump out.

Zhang Yongde saw that Chai Rong's complexion was not good, and his tone was not kind. He was also afraid that the emperor would be angry, and he didn't want to take the blame for others, so he told the truth.

Chai Rong coughed a few times and sighed: "I know these people want to go back. What do these people know? Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is my hometown in the Central Plains. My people are suffering in other places. I can't bear it. I didn't expect that you wouldn't either." understand me."

Chai Rong coughed a few times as he spoke, and Zhang Yongde was so frightened that he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

At this time, Chai Rong looked at Zhang Yongde and said something that made Lao Zhang scratch his head and couldn't figure out what it meant.

Chai Rong said: "I think Ru Fu is poor and poor, how can you be like this!"

Zhang Yongde, who was kneeling on the ground, was still bowing his head in thought, his mind was really muddled. At this moment, Chai Rong raised his voice: "Go down, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Zhang Yongde's head was full of question marks, he didn't know what His Majesty meant, but he still followed his advice and withdrew.

Chai Rong's coughing sound could still be heard outside, and Chai Rong in the tent touched the three-foot-long "check to be the emperor" wooden board after Zhang Yongde left.

The five words above are very dazzling, and I fell into deep thought:
"Think about it, isn't Shi Jingtang, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, the son-in-law of Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty? Didn't he also replace the Later Tang Dynasty to become self-reliant?"

"Zhang Yongde is the late emperor's son-in-law, and now this wooden board appears again, is it God's will to let him replace my Da Zhou?"

This can't be blamed on Chai Rong's overthinking. If Zhen Da Zhou is really replaced, his whole family will really be dead without a whole body.

Daoist friend who is dead and poor, isn't you a censor to be the emperor?

Chai Rong now intends to remove Zhang Yongde from his position, but he is afraid that there will be changes midway, but he has written an imperial decree in secret to remove Zhang Yongde from the post of inspection in front of the palace.

Poor Zhang Yongde is still thinking about what the emperor said just now that I am poor and poor, how can I be like this, and what does it mean.

This honest man still doesn't know where he offended the emperor, and he still doesn't understand the crux of the matter.

It's really hard and painful, I don't know that I have been put together by others, so it is good to be an honest teacher, but sometimes it is a disadvantage.

Sure enough, Chai Rong gave the order to return to Beijing the next day, which made the ministers heave a sigh of relief, and everyone thought it was Zhang Yongde's credit, so everyone moved closer to Zhang Yongde to express their closeness.

This scene happened to be seen by Chai Rong again, and Lao Chai thought in his heart that you are going to buy people's hearts now, with such a fast speed and plan.This Zhang Yongde is really a tragedy...
