The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 227
Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, also felt uncomfortable. He watched Zhao Yougong grow up.Now, he has the audacity to launch a palace coup and seek to usurp the throne. It is really uncomfortable for Zhao Ji to announce his crimes himself.Tiger poison does not eat children, let alone Zhao Ji who regards him as his own.

As the king of a country, Zhao Ji can't help himself.It's not that Zhao Ji didn't give him the opportunity, it's just that Zhao Yougong was too egotistical and missed it several times, Zhao Ji couldn't continue to sit idly by.If he, as the emperor, let Zhao Yougong, who is plotting to usurp the throne, let the people all over the world follow suit.

If this is the case, I am afraid that Zhao Ji will have no face to face his ancestors, and it is impossible for him to indulge in indulgence.Even if you are fatuous and incompetent, you will not ignore the country and the mountains, and you will be afraid that the world will be in chaos.

Zhao Yougong's death crime was inevitable, everyone present knew it well, Zhao Yougong also accepted it readily, without any begging for mercy, he knew that death crime was inevitable.A man is a man who stands up to the sky and stands upright. If he dares to do something, he must be brave. Zhao Yougong had no choice but to bow his head and plead guilty.

Zhao Gou sighed, he knew that it would be useless to talk about the matter so far, and it would be a great tolerance to seek to usurp the throne and only kill Zhao Yougong.If it is true that the crime should be executed, all the heirs and other branches of the Chu Palace should be executed, but Zhao Yougong has not yet married a wife and had children, so he had to beheaded alone. cannot be convicted.

This matter must be explained to those people who died in vain. Zhao Yougong was greedy for money and money for disaster relief, so that the people affected by the disaster were displaced, which indirectly caused the people to riot and gather people to revolt.Zhao Gou knew very well that Zhao seemed to have contributed to the court and the country, but he could not atone for his crimes and could not offset the crimes committed by Zhao Yougong.

Zhao Yougong is a rare talent. In the history of the Song Dynasty, he was originally an unknown and small character, but he didn't want to have a lot of means. He is a great talent, and he has both civil and military skills. If such a talent is used in the right way, it will be the luck of the Song Dynasty , the blessing of the people.

Zhao Gou sighed secretly: "The law of the country is ruthless, we have to do it!"

Zhao Yougong was waiting for Zhao Ji's sentencing, and he was fully prepared. At this moment, Zhao's voice came to everyone's ears, saying: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked at Zhao Si in surprise, Song Huizong Zhao Ji said sadly: "Thirteen Brothers, do you still want to beg for mercy after the matter has come to this? The national law is ruthless!"

"Brother Huang, do you ever remember to reward your younger brother with an object?" Zhao seemed not to deny that he wanted to save Zhao Yougong's heart, and took out a token made of pure gold from his bosom, which clearly displayed the word 'avoid death', He went on to say: "Brother Huang, I am willing to use this to save him alone. No matter how disobedient he is, it is justifiable. Please spare his life, Brother Huang!"

Zhao Ji frowned, looked at Zhao Si intently, and said in a deep voice, "Are you really determined to use this token?"

Zhao Ji personally rewarded Zhao Si with this 'gold medal for avoiding death'. Zhao Gou was also silent, just because this token was related to his mother and concubine.At the price of Zhao Si fighting his body to leave the root of the disease and almost dying, he saved his mother from the edge of life and death.

At that time, Zhao Si was seriously injured, and was delayed for a long time so that his body was getting worse every day. Zhao Ji felt that Zhao Si had done everything for the Song Dynasty, and specially gave him a "gold medal for avoiding death", also known as It is called 'Dan Shu Iron Coupon'.

In the Song Dynasty, only a few people such as the Chai family of Zheng Wang had the "Danshu Iron Certificate", and only the Chai family had it during the Taizu period of the Song Dynasty. Even the prime minister Zhao Pu and others did not receive a reward.Although this 'Gold Medal for Avoiding Death' is smaller and not as big as the 'Dan Shu Iron Coupon', the nature of the 'Gold Medal for Avoiding Death' is much larger than it.

"Danshu Iron Coupon" is generally an iron product in the shape of a tube tile. The letter on the iron coupon was first filled with cinnabar. It is only for giving officials and towns, and it does not necessarily have the nature of avoiding death. It's just a proof of rank.

Now, the "Gold Medal for Exemption from Death" in Zhao Si's hand is actually exempt from all death sentences, even for treasonous crimes, but death crimes are exempt from life crimes.In order to save his only son, Zhao Si had no choice but to take out this 'Gold Medal for Avoiding Death'.

At the beginning, when Zhao Ji gave Zhao Si this gold medal, he said that he would be exonerated from all crimes, and then Zhao Si had the courage to take it out.No matter what Zhao Yougong did wrong, he is still his son in his heart, and his son should be responsible for his father's responsibility. He would rather use his own life instead than watch his son beheaded. .

In addition, Zhao Yougong only took this path because he was deceived, missed him, and was assassinated. It is understandable to talk about it.Therefore, Zhao Sicai wanted to save Zhao Yougong, even if he turned against Zhao Ji.

Zhao Si replied solemnly: "Brother Huang, I know that Gong'er's nature is not bad, but he was deceived by others, so he went astray. I think about this gold medal and what I have done for the Song Dynasty over the years. , I also hope that the emperor will bypass Gonger's life, and the minister is willing to thank him with death!"

"Thirteenth brother, why are you doing this!"

Zhao Ji sighed, what else could he say when things were like this, he had to agree, from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to see Zhao Si's lineage cut off his incense, no matter what, he was a descendant of the Zhao family , and he has a deep relationship with Zhao Si, and he really doesn't want to see that happen.If Zhao Yougong was really beheaded today, there would inevitably be a rift in Zhao Si's heart. As long as a crack occurs, the friendship between the two brothers for many years will be ruined.

"I hope Brother Huang will make it happen!" Zhao Si begged with all eyes on him.

Zhao Ji sighed: "Forget it, if I don't kill Yougong, the death penalty can be avoided and the life penalty cannot be escaped!"

Zhao Si said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for not killing me!"

"Father, the child knows it's wrong, I'm responsible for all this!" Zhao Yougong watched his father beg the emperor to save himself, with mixed feelings in his heart, and secretly resolved not to drag his father down, all the faults were made by himself. If you do, the result should be borne by yourself.

Seeing the upright father pleading for himself, this is something he has never seen before.Whenever Zhao seems to have never begged anyone, even the current emperor, he has never begged for anything.At this time, Zhao Yougong only had endless remorse in his heart, he knew why he should have done it before today.

It was also the first time Zhao Gou saw Zhao Si like this, even if he was misunderstood and almost killed, he would not compromise. At this moment, Zhao Gou could understand Zhao Si's mood.At the same time, Zhao Ji can also understand that the two grew up together since childhood, and he knows what kind of character Zhao seems to be better than anyone else, so he agreed to his request.

Zhao Yougong looked at Zhao Ji with a burning gaze, and with arrogance, he knelt on the ground suddenly, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, everything is the fault of the guilty minister, and the father is not at fault. All this is the fault of the guilty minister. As a result of the burden, I ask the emperor to forgive my father's crime of disrespect!"

Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Yougong in amazement, saw that his expression was different, and saw him looking at Zhao Si, kowtowed heavily, and choked up, saying: "Father, my son has let you down! How can a guilty minister face the emperor if he is not dead?" , How can I face my father, please forgive my child for being unfilial, unable to honor you, and unable to serve the Song Dynasty!"

"Gong'er! No!..."

"You Gong! No!..."

Zhao Ji and Zhao Si were taken aback, and shouted in unison, even if Zhao Yougong had the gold medal for avoiding death, he didn't want to drag his father down, so he stood up and picked up the long sword, ready to kill himself to apologize, in his opinion, he apologized with death It's over once and for all, he knows that what he has done has broken the hearts of the emperor and his father, and he has no face to see them, the only option is to die!
