King of Song

Chapter 607 Chapter [-] Chapter Qin King Stationed in Chang'an

Paying homage was originally a very simple matter, but when important people are involved, the meaning has changed.

What's more, this person is the Son of Heaven!

The ministers could all hear and see clearly, what is the empress dowager going to do?Is it to alert the officials to respect the emperor's uncle?Or is there some other intention?
Today's worship at this time may have a major impact in the future, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Zhao Xu felt very uncomfortable, so what if Zhao Zhao is the son of Emperor Renzong?According to blood, he is his elder.If he had been in the royal family since he was a child, he might have recognized it, after all, the hierarchy was orderly.

But thinking of Lin Zhao being a courtier in the past, a courtier kneeling at his feet.At this moment, he is high above him, standing in front of him as an emperor's uncle, but he still wants to bow his head to him?

There are a thousand Zhao Xu with extremely strong self-esteem, and 1 are unwilling. How can he tolerate the former courtiers standing on his head?
After being shocked, he already figured it out.The emperor's grandmother already knew his identity, and what happened today was planned for a long time, why come to the Taimiao to observe his filial piety?They were all lying to him. It was really hard for Zhao Xu to accept such a change in the attitude of his grandmother, who had always loved him.

Even so, she was still not satisfied, and forced herself to bow to Zhao Zhao at this moment?Zhao Xu felt very uncomfortable.I bowed my head today, what about tomorrow?

The purpose of all their painstaking efforts is just for the identity of a prince, the title of emperor's uncle?Thinking of this, he was even more unwilling to give in.

But Cao and Zhao Fukang spoke conclusively, one brought up Emperor Renzong, and the other mentioned the precedent of Han Xiandi, so I have to listen!

In the Taimiao, the words of the Empress Dowager have supreme authority. If she persists in her own way, she will be charged with unfilial piety.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty may not care, but he can't veto Emperor Renzong's actions, right?
but……

It is so hard to take this step!Seeing Lin Zhao's slightly smug smile, Zhao Xu was even more annoyed, but he could only suppress it in his heart.Except for Lu Huiqing, among the officials below, no one spoke for him?Some people are incompetent, and they can't speak lightly.But how many people can speak without opening their mouths?What are their intentions?Zhao Xu was very disappointed.

"Officials, go see the emperor!"

At such an embarrassing moment, Gao Tao spoke up.A little intolerance leads to chaos and big plans, and it has reached the point where blindly being tough can no longer solve the problem, and we must give in appropriately.In front of the subjects of the world, the royal family must love each other, and the emperor must know filial piety and etiquette.

Zhao Xu looked into his mother's eyes in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and seemed to understand something from the eyes.Finally, with difficult steps, he walked up to Zhao Zhao, leaned forward and said, "Welcome the emperor's uncle back!"

This attitude is enough!
Cao Shi nodded in satisfaction. The reason why she wanted to do this was to tell Zhao Xu, all the officials, and the world.Lin Zhao is the biological son of Emperor Renzong. He has the most noble bloodline of the royal family. Even the current emperor cannot compare with him, and he is also inferior.

At the same time, she is also showing everyone the fact that between her grandson and her son, she will fully support her son without hesitation——Zhao Zhao!
Many insightful courtiers have seen the clues, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts. It seems that the Song Dynasty is bound to have another turmoil.

Sima Guang was so helpless. Not long ago, he thought that even if Renzong's son returned, he would just confess to being a prince, and he didn't think it would bring status disputes to Song Dynasty.Unexpectedly, the prince turned out to be Lin Zhao, and different people have different results.

With illustrious military exploits and high prestige, coupled with his status as a prince, he has sufficient conditions and strong advantages to compete for the throne, and disputes are inevitable.

As for the empress dowager's attitude, what is the purpose of flattering Lin Zhao?Is it to help Lin Zhao to be the crown prince?From now on, the Great Song Dynasty will produce an emperor uncle?

A few years ago, the Liao Kingdom also did this. Yelu Hongji canonized his uncle Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's uncle?What's the end result?It ended with the emperor's uncle's rebellion being wiped out.

The throne has extraordinary magical powers. Yingzong father and son took great pains to sit on the throne. Today, Zhao Xu has a son and a younger brother. How can he return the throne to Renzong's lineage?
In the current situation, can the throne of Song Dynasty be handed over peacefully?
Sima Guang shook his head lightly, he really hoped that everything would be smooth, that there would be no fights between dragons and tigers, and no rivers of blood!
The ministers have different minds. Some people are worried about the stability of the country, while others are concerned about their own interests.

There was a firm thought in Lu Huiqing's mind that Zhao Zhao must not be allowed to become the crown prince and sit on the throne, otherwise she would die without a place to bury her!The younger brother's vengeance can't just be forgotten, even if he becomes the emperor's uncle, revenge is not impossible.At least he has completely opposed the emperor Zhao Xu, and it is inevitable that he will die, so it is obvious where he will go from now on.

Zhang Zongyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, has other thoughts. He has a strong Lin brand on him.If Zhao Zhao becomes the country in the future, he will be able to make further progress.If Lin Zhao were not in charge of the country, his own fate would not be so good, maybe even the prosperity and wealth in front of him would disappear.It's just that now, it seems that I have no other choice. Since I went to the Liao Kingdom together as an envoy, many things have already been doomed.

On the steps, Mrs. Cao smiled and said, "It's great, Zhao'er returns to the royal family, and your father will rest in peace."

"I didn't see my father when he was alive, and I couldn't show my filial piety for a moment. I feel ashamed!" Zhao Zhao was not completely acting, and it was indeed a very sad thing to have never met his biological father.

Mrs. Cao shook her head and said, "You fought in the northwest and regained Lanzhou. Your father's spirit in heaven will be very pleased. This is filial piety!"

"That's right, when Concubine Lin was pregnant, it happened that Xixia was in trouble. Emperor Renzong said at that time that if he gave birth to a son, he hoped that he could share the worries of his father and resist the Xixia people. Now Zhao'er really lived up to expectations. !"

The empress and concubine Miao seemed to be lamenting the past, but Gao Taotao always felt that the rhythm was a bit wrong.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Cao said: "Emperor Renzong said more than once in the past that he had a wish. If Concubine Lin gave birth to a son, he would be canonized as the King of Qin, who would sit in Chang'an, take charge of the Northwest Army's political affairs, and resist Xixia. Keep Da Song safe!"

As soon as these words were said, the hearts of hundreds of people in the Taimiao were all turbulent!
Zhao Zhao was only the emperor's uncle one second ago, and now he is the king of Qin!

For the children of the royal family, blood is important, but the status has a lot to do with the title.

As the biological son of Emperor Renzong, Zhao Zhao must be a prince.But Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu's original intention was to delay, and today they only recognized him as the emperor's uncle. Anyway, he had just been canonized as Wu Guogong and Fuguo General, so the matter of Wang Jue would be delayed for a while and then discussed in the long run.

But Mrs. Cao didn't want to wait, and immediately gave Lin Zhao the title of prince, the king of Qin!This is the former title of Zhao Defang, the son of Taizu!

The King of Qin is the King of Qin, it doesn't matter, the real fatal thing is the last sentence - to sit in Chang'an and take charge of the political affairs of the Northwest Army!
This means that Lin Zhao can be stationed in Chang'an justifiably, and all the military and political power in the Northwest is in his hands, including the most elite 30 Western Army in the Song Dynasty.
This is Shao Yong's idea to Zhao Zhao. His base is in the northwest, and he used to control the northwest by relying on his position as the Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi Road.This time back to Bianjing, no matter what the result is, Zhao Xu will definitely not let him proclaim the Northwest again, so he needs a brand new identity and reason to return to the Northwest, and justifiably turn the Northwest into his own sky.

So he has the status of King Qin, and he is in charge of military and political affairs in Chang'an!

Zhao Xu naturally also knows the way. If the threat to him as the emperor uncle is 99 points, the threat to control the Northwest as the King of Qin will rise to [-] points.

Western Army!

That is the most elite army in the Song Dynasty, the land of abundance in Guanzhong, with a little development, it can be used as a foundation.Qin State relied on Guanzhong to sweep Liuhe and unify the world.

Along the Weishui River and the Yellow River, Chang'an and Bianjing are almost on the same line.Sending troops from Chang'an will arrive in Bianjing in a few days, which is a huge threat.But conversely, if you want to attack Guanzhong, it will be even more difficult. Guanzhong is a land surrounded by fortresses, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is difficult to break through the natural danger of Tongguan alone.

Zhao Xu really wanted to object, but found that he couldn't object at all.

Cao Shi said, Emperor Renzong said this sentence more than once before his death.Then it was Emperor Renzong's will and his last wish to confer Zhao Zhao as King of Qin, sit in Chang'an, and take charge of the Northwest Army's political affairs.

How could the emperor's grandfather's will not be obeyed?Can his last wish not be fulfilled?Although the Son of Heaven is supreme, his ancestors are on top of him, and he can only be obedient in front of the previous emperor.

He can't bear the crime of resisting the imperial edict, disrespecting the government, and being unfilial and unfraternal.

Zhao Xu knew that it was impossible for Emperor Renzong to have such a will, and most people could see it.

According to the situation at that time, having a son must be a treasure, and he must stay in the Bianjing Palace for a good education and inherit the great line.How could it be possible to send them to the bitter cold place in the northwest, under the shadow of swords and swords?

It's probably Lin Zhao's plan to make Cao say so on purpose.The most depressing thing is here, knowing that the other party has lied, but there is nothing to do!
The Cao family is the empress dowager, and her status is extremely respected. Could it be wrong for her to relay the oral instructions of Emperor Renzong?No one dared to question, and no one dared to accuse the Empress Dowager of being coquettish.As long as words come out of her mouth, it must be Emperor Renzong's will!

What's more, Concubine Miao also came out to testify, saying that she had heard about it.These are the two most respected and noble people in the world, can you question them?
Today is in the Ancestral Temple, and it happens to be Emperor Renzong's memorial day. At such a special time and place, his will is of great significance and cannot be disobeyed!

Sima Guang saw it very clearly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the empress dowager is adding fuel to the fire!Once Zhao Zhao became the King of Qin and took charge of Chang'an, there would be no peace in the Great Song Dynasty, and a battle between dragons and tigers was inevitable.

The turmoil in Tongguan and Guanluo has been considered light, and it is not impossible for the Song Dynasty to fall apart, and the Liao Kingdom in the north will have an opportunity to take advantage of it!
What good does such a situation do for Da Song?As a veteran minister who is familiar with historical classics, Sima Guang is worried.

But in any case, the facts cannot be changed, and it is inevitable for Zhao Zhao to be the King of Qin.

Zhao Xu didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't object, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and said loudly: "The emperor is the king of Qin, so it's very good to comfort the emperor's spirit in heaven. It's just that the emperor has just fought fiercely in the northwest for nearly a year, so it must be very hard , should stay in Bianjing to recuperate well. Furthermore, the emperor’s uncle has just met the aunts for the sake of the emperor’s grandmother. The family should reunite and share their family relationship. As for the matter of sitting in Chang’an, let’s talk about it later!”

"Yeah, King Qin's status is precious. In the land of beacon fire in the northwest, how can the emperor be put in danger?" Gao Taotao immediately echoed, seemingly caring, but the actual purpose is only one - to keep Zhao Zhao in Bianjing.It is not a worry for a bare Qin King and a dragon trapped in the shallows.

Cao's complexion changed, and he said: "Since you are the king of Qin and enfeoffed in Guanzhong, you should be a vassal in time!"

Just as Gao Taotao was about to say something more, Zhao Zhao interrupted: "The officials and the emperor's sister-in-law are kind, and Zhao Xin accepts it. It's just that this is the father's will and his wish. As a son of man, he should obey orders. Father was alive. , I have never been filial to my knees, and now I should do my best to fulfill my father's last wish.

As for the theory of hard work and danger, don't worry about it.There are many wars on the border of the Song Dynasty today. As the king of Qin, he should set an example and encourage the soldiers to fight bravely. How can he back down?Furthermore, it now appears that Zhao fears that there is a reason why he must go to the northwest! "

Zhao Zhao's cold gaze swept across Gao Taotao's face, Yun Danfeng smiled lightly, turned around and said, "Bring it up!"
