King of Song

Chapter 603 Chapter [-] Emperor's Son
After the sacrifice, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty kowtowed and worshiped nine times again!
Afterwards, many living concubines and princesses of Renzong came to worship under the leadership of the Empress Dowager Cao.

When the concubines and princesses thought of Emperor Renzong, they couldn't help crying.But Cao, Miao, and Zhao Fukang were somewhat relieved amidst their grief.Gao Taotao and Zhao Baoan looked gloomy, the situation was not good for them.

The basic etiquette steps have been completed, but for Zhao Xu, today's highlight has not yet begun.

Zhao Xu stood on the high platform in front of the Taimiao, looked at the kneeling officials below, and said loudly: "My dear family, today is the tenth anniversary of the death of Emperor Renzong, the emperor. The emperor's teachings, I am grateful for the emperor's kindness, and I am very sad.

As a descendant, I can only live up to the teachings and expectations of my ancestors by working hard, handling the government affairs, governing the world, and making the Great Song Dynasty prosperous and strong.I remember that when the emperor was in power, the party made a disaster for the Northwest, and the emperor hated it deeply.At that time, I was still young, and I once said to the emperor, when I grow up, I will definitely beat Xixia hard and restore the glory of my Great Song Dynasty. "

This rhythm is known to both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.Although the emperor was a bit vain, it is indeed a praiseworthy thing to expand the territory and regain the lost land, and everyone is happy.

But Gao Taotao's face was not half happy, but deeply worried.If the guess is right, the son is walking into a trap and ends up making wedding clothes for others.

"I did it!" Zhao Xu said in a loud voice with a hint of pride: "From last year, I sent General Lin Zhao of Yunhui to go to the Northwest, conquer Tubo, and attack Xixia!"

Standing in the distance, Lin Zhao heard it clearly, and smiled in his heart, Zhao Xu really put gold on his face!Forget it, I don't know who it will stick to in a while!
Zhao Xu continued to speak loudly: "Lin Qing lived up to expectations, captured Qingtang City, occupied Hehuang, opened up thousands of miles of territory for the Song Dynasty, and conquered Lanzhou City, regaining the lost land of the Song Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xu turned around and knelt down. After three kowtows, he respectfully said: "Grandson reported to the emperor that Lanzhou has been recovered, and grandson has fulfilled your wish for you. I hope your spirit in heaven can be gratified!" Then kowtow three times again!

The emperor bowed down, and the ministers naturally followed suit!

Zhao Xu liked this rhythm very much. He got up and stood on the steps, with the feeling of looking down on the world, he said loudly: "Bring it up!"

Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Lin Zhao came up with dozens of Tubo people and party members who made up the number.

"Chen Lin Zhao escorted the enemies who were captured in the Northwest War to your majesty, please send them to your majesty!" Lin Zhao cooperated very much, first let Zhao Xu be proud for a while, and the extreme joy turns into sorrow, which is interesting.

After nearly a year, Zhao Xu saw Lin Zhao again, standing in front of him in a majestic and majestic manner.But there was no humility and submission on his face, on the contrary there was a sense of arrogance, which made Zhao Xu feel very uncomfortable.It seems that he is really a hero with high achievements, and he is prone to arrogance!In an instant, the determination to suppress Lin Zhao became firmer.

"Lin Qing worked hard, but these captives are not dedicated to me, they are dedicated to the emperor, to the ancestors!" Zhao Xu still had a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Consolation to the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors, I hope they Seeing how powerful Song Dynasty is today, you can rest in peace!"

Zhao Xu was very intoxicated, his voice was extraordinarily loud and full of energy, and he completely forgot the scandal of the Jiaozhi people massacring the city in Yongzhou not long ago.

Under the steps, an official Gao Sheng suddenly shouted: "The Great Song Dynasty is mighty!"

Immediately, all the officials echoed, and the shouts of "The mighty Song Dynasty" resounded through the Taimiao, and the sound shook the heavens.Presumably, the spirits of the ancestors in heaven must be able to hear it.

Lin Zhao secretly smiled, Zhao Xu was really well prepared.Sure enough, when everyone's blood boiled, an official came out and shouted: "The officials are wise and powerful, and they are indeed the wise kings of the world!"

"Thanks to the strategizing and proper command of the officials in the Northwest War, this unprecedented feat was achieved."

"Where?" Zhao Xu said with a smile: "The victory of this battle is the result of the soldiers who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, work together, and fight bloody hard."

Although he declined very modestly, Zhao Xu accepted all the officials' flattery.It's been a long time, and it's rare to have such a happy time.
Zhao Xu felt that at this moment, he was a king who stood high above the world, and his subjects worshiped him.Standing on the high platform, watching all the officials bow down, and listening to the words of praise, can you truly experience the joy of being king!
Very useful!Zhao Xu was very excited, but when he saw Lin Zhao's haughty expression, a shadow of unhappiness cast over his heart.Simply, taking advantage of today's opportunity, they fought repeatedly, and dealt with them brightly and secretly, so as to clarify the majesty of the emperor.

"This battle in the Northwest has expanded the territory and regained the lost land. Thanks to the soldiers' lives, they should be rewarded according to their merits." Zhao Xu said: "The Privy Council immediately sorted out the merits of the soldiers and discussed with the Ministry of Rites to formulate rewards."

"Yes!" Privy envoy Han Jiang came out to receive the order.

Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Lin Zhao, the envoy of Xuanfu on the Shaanxi Road, has worked hard and made outstanding achievements. He was appointed as the General of the Fuguo, moved to the Duke of Wu, and opened the third division of Yitong!"

Hearing these words, Gao Taotao closed his eyes in disappointment. After all, his son gave Lin Zhao a big gift.

Why so anxious?

Lin Zhao also felt the same emotion, after all, Zhao Xu still has no room for others, he was too anxious, and in the end he could only steal chickens and lose money!

The General Fuguo is a second-rank military official with a high status but no real power.Zheng Guogong became Wu Guogong, nothing to lose!On the contrary, Kaifu Yitong Sansi is very useful, and can establish his own official system in a legitimate way.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Zhaoxin accepted the order.

All the officials had their own thoughts on this, and some people envied Lin Zhao for being in a high position at such a young age, and being so honored and favored.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the official family is going up and down. From then on, General Lin can only stay at home and take care of his life.Sima Guang, Han Jiang and the others couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Zhao, who is a pillar of talent, so it's a pity that he just sits idle like this!At the same time, I also have a feeling that the officials are too anxious!It is self-evident how much jealousy there is, and it can't help but make people feel a little stingy.

Lu Huiqing was somewhat proud that Lin Zhao had no real power, even if he had a high title, he was still a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.With the official's suspicious character, how could it end well?hum!
"Okay!" The Empress Dowager Cao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out!

The last trace of luck in Gao Taotao's heart was shattered, and her mother-in-law was finally about to make a move!No one can stop her, the Empress Dowager is the most honorable person in the Song Dynasty, especially in the Taimiao, before all the officials.

"Recovering Lanzhou has always been the wish of Emperor Renzong. Now that it has been achieved, his spirit in heaven must be very pleased."

"What the imperial grandmother said is true!" Zhao Xu accompanied her with a smile, looking forward to a few more words of praise from the old grandmother, which would be more perfect.

No, Cao changed the subject and said loudly: "However, in addition to this, Emperor Renzong has a bigger wish that has also been fulfilled. His spirit in heaven can rest in peace."

"What wish?" Zhao Xu and Baiguan had a little doubt on their faces.

Several insiders had different faces, and Zhao Fukang's mother and daughter were smiling and very proud.Gao Taotao, mother and daughter, and Zhao Zongcheng had gloomy faces.

"Emperor Renzong's own son, who was living among the people, has been found!"

Cao's words can be described as earth-shattering, causing huge waves in the Taimiao!

Zhao Xu's expression changed in an instant, stunned, puzzled, frightened... A series of complex emotions came to mind, a pair of eyes looked straight at Cao Shi, and the smile on his face froze!

All the officials were also shocked, Emperor Renzong's own son?This identity is enough to shock people!
Some old ministers headed by Sima Guang all recalled the past by coincidence.The words "son of Emperor Renzong" are too sensitive, and there was a lot of turmoil over the establishment of the reserve...

Most people are wondering, Emperor Renzong had three biological sons, but they all died in infancy?Where does the saying of having a biological son come from?What happened to the living among the people?

A series of questions arise one after another in the Taimiao, and many people's hearts are ignited with raging fire of gossip, and they are extremely curious!

On the steps, Mrs. Cao ignored everyone's astonishment, and completely ignored the stunned emperor's grandson Zhao Xu, and said loudly: "As we all know, Emperor Renzong had three sons in the past, and they died when they were young. But other than that, there are some things that may Only some people know!"

What is fascinating is this part of the matter. In the square in front of the Taimiao, hundreds of honorable officials completely ignored the scorching sun in late spring and pricked up their ears, lest they missed something.

Mrs. Cao continued: "At the end of the first year of Huangyou, after the Yuan Dynasty was changed, the Great Song Dynasty seemed to have really been blessed by the ancestors. There was a talented person in the harem, Mrs. Lin, who was pregnant. When Lin was pregnant, she dreamed of colorful auspicious clouds. Among them, there was a rising sun. Emperor Renzong was very happy when he heard about it. He bestowed a residence in the Mingyue Pavilion and asked Lin Cairen to give birth to a child. If he gave birth to a prince, he could be promoted to be a concubine.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Cairen has been pregnant for more than seven months. After the imperial physicians took the pulse, they all thought it was a boy. Emperor Renzong was very happy..."

The Empress Dowager seemed to be telling a story, and everyone listened with great interest.It is well known throughout the country that Emperor Renzong is looking forward to having a son, otherwise it would not have been so laborious to elect Zhao Zongshi as the crown prince.

"Seeing that Lin Cairen will give birth in two or three months, but unfortunately, the Mingyue Pavilion caught fire..."

Some of the ministers exclaimed, and the older ministers had all heard of this palace anecdote.I thought there was something untrue, but now it is said from the mouth of the Empress Dowager, it must be true!

"After the fire was extinguished, everyone thought that Lin Cairen was buried in the sea of ​​flames. Emperor Renzong was very sad at that time." Speaking of this, Cao sighed, and continued: "However, Wu Zuo carefully inspected all the corpses, and did not find Lin Cairen. That is to say, she didn't die in the fire, but she disappeared!

Emperor Renzong sent many people to look for him, but unfortunately there was no news. He still remembered it until his deathbed, and died with regret.I thought this matter might become an eternal regret, but fortunately, God opened his eyes, and with the blessings of our ancestors, we finally found it!
