Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 619
However, in general, everything went smoothly and Zhao Guangyi was very satisfied.

His eyes swept across the hall sharply, except for Cao Bin and Xue Juzheng, no one dared to look at him, they had already lowered their heads, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least they had already expressed their surrender to him at this moment.

"Everyone, get up! It's business as usual for the time being. You should perform your own duties and do your own thing well. Don't let Xiaoxiao's generation mess up my Song Dynasty. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Zhao Guangyi said lightly.

There is never a shortage of flatterers among the officials, Tao Gu has always reacted quickly, and it is still the case at this time. As soon as he got up, he knelt down again and said: "Chen Tao Gu, I implore Your Majesty to ascend the throne as soon as possible so that the court can be established, and I will inform the middle school of the country. .”

The others scolded Tao Gu for being treacherous, and quickly knelt down again and said in unison: "I implore Your Majesty to ascend the throne as soon as possible so that the imperial court can be established and the middle school will be informed."

Zhao Guangyi was happy in his heart, but on the surface it was another matter, he shouted loudly: "Absurd, the first emperor just passed away, how can he ascend the throne now, and it will not be too late for this king to ascend the throne after the funeral of the first emperor. However, regarding the death of the former emperor, King Wei and Bai Canghai must first issue an edict regarding the rebellion, and inform the middle school and the world."

For this imperial edict, it is necessary to describe the process of the death of the first emperor, and to state the crime of treason by Zhao Dezhao, king of Wei.The most important thing is to explain why Zhao Guangyi ascended to the throne --- outlining the decree of the queen mother and the decree of the first emperor, so as to show that Zhao Guangyi's ascension to the throne is a response to the sky.

Such an edict does not have to be written by Xu Xuan, it can be done with the talents of Lu Duoxun and Tao Gu.But Xu Xuan has a reputation. The most important thing is that in the common people's perception, Xu Xuan is the person of Xiangfu King Ye Chen. Now Zhao Guangyi needs to borrow Ye Chen's reputation.

Ye Chen's reputation is too great in the Song Dynasty now, so even if Zhao Guangyi rebels and usurps the throne, Ye Chen will be the biggest threat and variable, and he can accuse Bai Canghai, Li Junhao, and even Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao of treason, but he doesn't Dare to convict Ye Chen of treason without conclusive evidence.

So Xu Xuan was recruited into the palace overnight to write the imperial edict.He is obviously an outsider of Zhongshu Sheren, but what he does is an internal Hanlin scholar.In fact, after today's affairs are over, Zhao Guangyi will let him enter Yutang and become a real Hanlin scholar.

Wang Jien has already begun to read the imperial edict in a rhythmic tone.

At Xu Xuan's level, it is even comparable to Yang Xiong's "Ju Qin Mei Xin" written for Wang Mang, and will not be inferior to "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao" and "Discussing Wu".Presumably, after the edict was announced to the world, the fact that Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao and Bai Canghai conspired to rebel and kill the king would soon be confirmed, and at the same time it would be a matter of course for Zhao Guangyi to ascend the throne as emperor.

The edict was only halfway through when Cao Bin suddenly thought of something, and interrupted: "There is still something wrong with His Majesty's death. After we should find out, we can discuss right and wrong and the position of the emperor."

Lu Duosun immediately said: "We have seen it with our own eyes, and we can be witnesses. Now that the king of Wei has fled in fear of crime, the death of the late emperor has been found out."

"A usurper, can he be the emperor?" Cao Bin ignored Lu Duoxun, but stepped forward two steps, confronting Zhao Guangyi with a stern voice.

Everyone knew that Cao Bin was a fight between trapped beasts, and he had already sent the wealth and lives of more than a thousand members of the Cao family to Huangquankou.In fact, with Cao Bin's prestige and status in the Great Song Army, as long as he doesn't confront Zhao Guangyi, even if Xue Juzheng acquiesces like that, Zhao Guangyi will not do anything to Cao Bin for the sake of his own reputation and the stability of the army. Bin tore his face, that's another story.

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly, as if he didn't recognize who the usurper was referring to in Cao Bin's mouth, but deliberately distorted the meaning and said: "That's right, a usurper like King Wei cannot be the emperor."

Cao Bin lowered his head, then raised it again, and said loudly: "Although Cao Bin is a military commander, he dare not disobey the teachings of the saints, and serve the usurpers as the master!"

His voice was cold and his expression was angrily.

With both hands, he took off the long-legged headdress on his head and put it on the ground.

Right in the hall, under the gaze of hundreds of people, Cao Bin took off his belt and tore off his official robe, revealing his inner clothes.Cao Bin is already over 40 years old, and now he is dressed in strong clothes, his figure is straight, and he still looks as if he is loose.

Cao Bin's move was full of resentment, and the meaning in his words was that Zhao Guangyi was the one who conspired and usurped.

However, once Cao Bin, who was the most opposed, resigned on his own initiative and left the court, it would be a major event, and Xue Juzheng alone would never be able to recover.

Zhao Guangyi also felt that it would be good for Cao Bin to leave now, at least the [-] forbidden troops outside the city would be easier to be controlled by him without the constraints of Cao Bin.

Of course, Cao Bin’s resignation will not just let him go. Right at the gate of the palace, there is a blood killer waiting. Put him under house arrest, and wait for Zhao Guangyi to ascend the throne smoothly, and everything will be settled.At that time, he will have his own disposal, and if there is no accident, it will be a glass of dove poisonous wine to give him death.He will never be given the opportunity to go out of the city to mobilize troops.

Today, it was hard to get all the courtiers into the palace to control them. How could it be possible for him to be easily out of control?

ended.

Xue Juzheng closed his eyes. After all, he couldn't take the lives of the whole family and fight to the end with Cao Bin.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, almost no one cared about sadness.

All the people who knew the news of His Majesty's assassination and death didn't have time or could not care about grief. After being shocked for a moment when they participated in the Great Court Meeting in the morning, they began to arrange the follow-up things calmly and even indifferently, thinking about what happened next The reshuffle changed, or whether he could go further or change a better position in the court of the emperor of the new dynasty. Of course, some officials who had a normal relationship with Zhao Guangyi before and even ignored Zhao Guangyi began to worry, such as Luo Gongming, the envoy of the third division. Father and son.

However, for the time being, those who are qualified to sit in that chair are still making various preparations to clear up some possible variables in order to be able to secure that position in the final real sense.For example, Zhao Guangyi, who had been determined by the general trend, and Zhao Dezhao, who was hidden by Zhao Pu did not know where. As for Zhao Defang, who was obviously under Zhao Guangyi's control, he had lost his qualifications.

In short, everyone seems to have forgotten that the one who died was Song Taizu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, the supreme ruler who ruled the country for more than ten years, and the spiritual symbol of all Song people.

Except for a very small number of people, all the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty have been disturbed by the bonus in front of them and the scent on their noses.There was only time to be excited and panicked, pretending to be sad, but there was no time to be truly sad in my heart, but I tried my best to show my loyalty to Zhao Guangyi.Of course, because Ye Chen, the biggest variable, is still alive, there are also very few people who are still watching with extreme caution, or try to keep a low profile when expressing their loyalty to Zhao Guangyi.

And the reaction of the common people is always different from that of the rich and powerful. They look at things more directly and sometimes more accurately. They only know that His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty is a rare and good emperor, at least from the perspective of the people of Song Dynasty or from the life of the people. , Zhao Kuangyin is a rare good emperor.

Therefore, after the common people learned that the emperor had been assassinated and passed away, many people felt sad and sad. There were even crying and bewildered looks in the streets and alleys from time to time, wondering what the future of this country would look like.They also had doubts and doubts in their hearts, especially combined with the rumors circulating in the streets and alleys a few days ago, they couldn't help thinking quietly in their hearts: Was His Majesty the Great Emperor killed by his son Zhao Dezhao, King of Wei just as King Jin said? , or was killed by King Jin?

In fact, many officials didn't believe it at the very beginning. Bai Canghai, the assassination chief of the Huaxia Weifu, and Zhao Dezhao, king of Wei, both disappeared without a trace.Yuhuangding's surviving "living" testimony pointed directly at Bai Canghai. Although countless so-called evidences cannot absolutely prove anything, they can convince some people who are willing to be persuaded.

Before Hu Sanguang had time to take some of the Huaxia Golden Guards and gold medal spies to Xiangfu Palace, he was surrounded by [-] imperial guards in the main office of Huaxia Weifu.But when Xu Fangyi arrived with Zhao Guangyi's will, Hu Sanguang disappeared.

Hu Sanguang, nicknamed "Blue Fox" in the Jianghu, is good at intelligence analysis and reasoning and judgment. He is famous in the Jianghu for being cunning and wise, but those who really know him know that his disguise is unparalleled in the world. Although it can't compare to the ever-changing Shangguan Bingyun, but it is easy to hide it from ordinary people.Of course, another main reason for this is the support of Anzi from the Huaxia Weifu in the forbidden army.However, this was limited to Hu Sanguang alone, and it was impossible for more people to escape from the siege of the [-] army.

Given the current status and importance of the Huaxia Weifu, as well as the great contributions made to the Great Song Dynasty, especially since Ye Chen is likely to be still alive, Zhao Guangyi can only trap the people inside, and then let Xu Fangyi try to go as far as possible. To subdue and control, but he is reluctant to kill.

At the same time, Xiangfu Palace has been brought under control.In fact, when Xuesha brought people here, he originally wanted to forcefully bring Ye Chen's side concubine Han Ke'er and his seven or eight-month-old daughter Ye Yu into the palace, but Kou Zhun had already brought Han Ke'er, Ye Yu, Kou Zhun, Shui'er's family and other key personnel of the Ye Mansion were all sent into the half-dead maze.In addition, Ye Fuzhong's armed forces are quite powerful --- [-] black cavalry led by Hei Yue, [-] resident Huaxia guards and [-] spies, and there are also three gold medal killers and twenty silver medal killers.

After some confrontation and even conflict, the people of Ye Mansion did not listen to Zhao Guangyi's order and disarmed and were arrested. They were ordered to mobilize two thousand city defense troops to kill them and even lost a few corpses because of their scruples. They didn't know where or when The Ye Chen who appeared, did not dare to be presumptuous in the end, but just trapped Ye Mansion.
