The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 21 The Old Emperor Wants to Seize Power

Luoyang, also known as Xijing since the Sui Dynasty, can be regarded as the deputy capital of Chang'an. Cai Jing proposed that Song Huizong Zhao Ji should go to Xijing. The cryptic idea was to let Zhao Ji set up another court.

At this time, Zhao Huan had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was not stable. If Zhao Ji went to Xijing and wanted to regain power, that would be fine.

Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Ji glanced at Cai Jing, and sighed secretly that this old guy is now more and more able to think about his own thoughts. He pondered for a while, and said: "Alright, I will personally write a letter of divorce, so that I, the Supreme Emperor, will not be around. , there will be some restrictions on what government orders the emperor wants to implement."

Cai Jing was overjoyed. He had already heard about the so-called emperor and courtiers. As soon as Zhao Huanchu came to the throne, he directly chopped off the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhu Miao. He didn't want to follow in Zhu Miao's footsteps.

This time Song Huizong really wrote the memorial to Zhao Huan himself, and the content of the memorial was also quite sincere, and he completely put his mentality in the identity of a courtier.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army retreats northward, but the heart of the Great Song Dynasty will not die. I am so stupid that the Dingjin army will definitely come back. I plan to lead my cronies to Luoyang, Xijing, and recruit troops. When the Jin army goes south again, I can send troops to serve the king, and I can also help the king." As a stronghold to contain the Jin army, in this way, the Jin army will be able to keep Kaifeng safe." Zhao Ji wrote to Zhao Huan.

This memorial letter cannot be said to be written disrespectfully. Zhao Ji, as the Supreme Emperor and Zhao Huan's father, directly called Zhao Huan His Majesty the Emperor, and called himself an old clumsy, which shows Zhao Ji's state of mind at this time.

As soon as Zhao Ji entered the city, Zhao Huan got the news of Zhao Ji's return. For Zhao Ji's return, Zhao Huan was not surprised at all. After Zhao Ji escaped, he did not realize that he had retreated to the second line. It is the same as the emperor, who issued the decree of the Supreme Emperor. Of course, these decrees of Zhao Ji were not for fighting against the Jin army, but for his own enjoyment. As a last resort, Zhao Huan had to issue an imperial decree to abolish Zhao Ji after Zhao Ji issued a decree. decree.

In this way, the local officials immediately understood the subtle relationship between the two of them. The so-called emperor and courtier, Zhao Huan is the current emperor, and Zhao Ji has retired. After the emperor retired, local officials didn't pay much attention to Zhao Ji.

Moreover, the [-] forbidden troops that Tong Guan led to surround Zhao Ji were also from Kaifeng. At this time, when he heard that Kaifeng was safe, he was even more homesick. Due to internal and external factors, Zhao Ji returned with his cronies.

Seeing Zhao Ji's memorial, Zhao Huan smiled slightly, and casually threw the memorial to Li Gang next to him.

Li Gang took a cursory glance and was taken aback. He knew the character of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. If Zhao Ji was really allowed to take people to Luoyang, Xijing, when Zhao Ji's government order was issued, it is difficult to guarantee that the ministers in the court would not run to Zhao Ji's side. , Then it will become two sets of courts in Kaifeng and Luoyang, which is a big taboo.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how you plan to deal with it?" Li Gang asked tentatively. Originally, as a matter of the royal family, it was the emperor's family matter. Li Gang really shouldn't be involved. But at this time, Li Gang couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all At this time, Zhao Huan was still relatively young and lacked experience in political struggles in the officialdom. Li Gang was really afraid that Zhao Huan would be excited and agreed.

Zhao Huan casually threw the memorial on the desk, and said to Li Gang: "Father is getting old, and it is really not suitable for me to go to a place as far away as Luoyang. It is better to stay by my side, and it will also help me to be in front of my knees." Be filial."

Li Gang is a smart man, when he heard Zhao Huan's words, he immediately understood the meaning, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty governing the country with benevolence and filial piety is really a blessing to the Great Song Dynasty!"

This flattery is really pleasing to the ear, Zhao Huan couldn't help but think, no wonder so many emperors in history would favor and trust traitors, it is true that these traitors are too good at guessing the holy meaning, what the emperor likes to hear, will naturally be liked by the emperor .

"Is the Longde Palace still empty? You order someone to repair it, and let the Supreme Emperor live there." Zhao Huan said to Li Gang.

Li Gang led the order and left.

Zhao Huan looked at the memorial in front of him, but his thoughts went far away. The so-called not being in charge of a family does not know how expensive it is. At this time, Zhao Huan realized that it is not easy to be an emperor. Of course, it is mainly because it is not easy to be a wise king.

Zhao Huan's militarization reform abolished the Xiang army and kept only the forbidden army. In this way, the central government has achieved absolute control over the army. Since then, the problem has arisen, all the military expenditures will be borne by the royal family, and at this time, the Great Song Dynasty has been bullied by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

The most important thing before Zhao Huan is that he has no money.

But money, even though he is the emperor, cannot be conjured out of thin air.

Where can I get money?Zhao Huan thought for a while, and suddenly became happy.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong knew that He Shen was a corrupt official, so he did not punish him. Instead, he left him to Emperor Jiaqing. Therefore, after Jiaqing ascended the throne, He Shen’s house was confiscated, which is equivalent to 15 years of housekeeping in the Qing Dynasty. The sum of income, and now, in fact, there are several Gods of Wealth who are placed on him.

Zhao Huan put the six pieces of bamboo engraved with Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Xie, and Li Bangyan in his hand to play with. Among them, the bamboo piece of Zhu Xie had already been collected by Zhao Huan, because Zhu Xie had already It was clicked when Zhao Huanchu first ascended the throne, so who should be the next person to solve?Zhao Huan needs to think about it.

Looking at Tong Guan's bamboo slice, Zhao Huan smiled slightly, picked up a brush and drew a stroke on the bamboo slice, and decided to use Tong Guan for the operation.

Tong Guan held the military power for 20 years, and the power was overwhelming for a while, and the orders issued even exceeded the emperor's edict.When Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he ordered Tong Guan to stay behind, but this guy didn't obey his orders, instead he fled with Zhao Ji. The fact that he resisted the decree and disrespected him was enough to give Zhao Huan a reason to kill him up.

"Yue Fei!" Zhao Huan shouted to Yue Fei outside the door.

Besides Yue Fei being the capital of the Feiyu Army, Zhao Huan also gave him a more special position, the Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, in charge of the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial City. Although the Imperial Forest Army has only more than 2 people, he can be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. , those are definitely the people most trusted by the emperor.

"The last general is here." Yue Fei walked in from the door.

"You bring a few people. After the Supreme Emperor enters the palace, you immediately arrest Tong Guan who is accompanying me and put him in prison!" Zhao Huan said to Yue Fei.
