The upheaval of Zhutian film and television

So he was equally uneasy about these clan members, and then he thought of Zhao Zongquan, the back-up he had prepared many years ago!

Chapter 352 The emperor’s mind...Checks and balances

In fact, the backup he left behind was not just Zhao Zongquan.

When the emperor had no heirs, the first choice was actually the King of Shu. Not only was he outstanding in ability, but he was also powerful. The second choice was Zhao Zongquan!

Now that he has a biological son, he also wants to find a clan to assist his son, but the outstandingly capable King of Shu is not among his considerations.

Because a descendant of the clan like King Shu is already capable of threatening his son's throne.

But Zhao Zongquan is different. He is just a training envoy of the Yuzhou regiment, and he has been quite obedient and obedient in these years.

Since he had no foundation in the court, it was the best choice for him to come to Bianjing to assist his son.

When the time comes, he will not threaten his son's throne, but will also be able to check and balance each other with the Zhang family.

Thinking of this, the emperor called back the eunuch who was about to deliver the order:

"Wait~, pass on my decree and let Yuzhou regiment commander Zhao Zongquan return to Beijing as quickly as possible!"

Having said this, the emperor thought for a while and said again:

"As for Duke Rong Guo and others, let's wait until Zhao Zongquan arrives and summon them together."

British government.

Lin Hao put down the news from the palace!

As soon as the emperor sent someone to convey the order to Zhao Zongquan, Lin Hao had already received the news.

"Haha, interesting!"

Lin Hao had long found out that the emperor was connected to Zhao Zongquan.

In the original plot, when the emperor was forced into the palace by King Yan, he actually wrote a blood letter immediately and conferred Zhao Zongquan, an unpopular clan he had never met, as the crown prince.

This was obviously an abnormal thing. It stands to reason that his first choice at that time was to use the Tiger Talisman to mobilize the forbidden troops in the city to quell the rebellion.

As a result, the emperor wrote a letter in blood. He traveled all the way from Yuzhou to Zhao Zongquan, then asked Zhao Zongquan to bring the tiger charm to Bianjing, and then went to find the Imperial Army to rescue him. It was a mysterious operation!

Therefore, Lin Hao has been exploring the relationship between the two, and sure enough, Lin Hao found out that Zhao Zongquan was the emperor's back-up man!

But Lin Hao no longer cares about this. Now, almost all of the several camps stationed in the suburbs of Beijing are Lin Hao's people.

Moreover, he not only controlled the entire Song Dynasty's intelligence network, but also secretly controlled the intelligence agency of the Imperial City Division.

If he, Lin Hao, wanted to rebel, let alone Zhao Zongquan, even if Zhao Kuangyin was resurrected, he would be unable to do anything about it.

But if he rebels directly, even if he succeeds, it will take several years to conquer the entire Song Dynasty. After the victory, it will take several years to heal the wounds of the war.

Not to mention that it took too long, the war would also cause a large number of civilian casualties. Lin Hao believed that it was completely unnecessary!

Moreover, although Lin Hao has never been an emperor, he also knows that governing a country is not a simple matter.

The best way is to completely take over the entire administrative system of the Song Dynasty.

But the emperor started to guard against him again, which was obviously not a good sign.

Fortunately, the emperor's time is running out. In the past few days, as for Zhao Zongquan who was hired by the emperor to check and balance him, Lin Hao is happy to see it happen!

After all, life is about tossing!

Sure enough, in the next few days, the emperor's health deteriorated, and he could only rely on his breath to hold on!

Three days later!

The emperor had a rare court meeting. After the ministers shouted long live, I don't know if it was because the ministers were too loud or for some other reason.

Before the emperor had time to speak, he suddenly felt stuffy in his heart, and then he felt dizzy and fainted on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty~!" Then the ministers exclaimed.

Then the emperor was sent back to the palace, where several imperial doctors diagnosed and treated him!

The courtiers looked at each other, seeing that the emperor was dying, and the new emperor's accession to the throne meant new opportunities.

Moreover, the new emperor is still a two-year-old child, which makes the ministers in the court each think about their own little thoughts.

This time, the emperor was in a coma for a whole day and night before he woke up, which was different from the short coma last time.

After my last coma, I felt like I might not have much time left, but I still felt like I could survive for ten days and a half, so the care was just in case!

But this time, the emperor once again saw the Zhao family's ancestors waving to him in his dream. He knew that the Zhao family's time was running out!

"Emperor Physician, how long can my body last?"

"This~!" The imperial doctor hesitated and couldn't explain the reason, and finally said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has a long life...!"

In fact, the imperial physician had noticed through the emperor's pulse that the emperor's vitality was passing away at an extremely fast speed.

According to the current speed, I am afraid that even three days may not be able to survive.After all, the emperor's body was exhausted, but the imperial physician did not dare to say so.

"Okay, please step back!" the emperor said weakly.

In fact, the emperor knew it well, so he had no intention of embarrassing the imperial doctor. He just waved his hand to let him retreat.

Moreover, it is not a matter of worrying about the imperial doctor now. The most important thing at the moment is that the matter of entrusting an orphan is urgent. He immediately asked the eunuch serving beside him:

"Has Zhao Zongquan of Yuzhou arrived?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhao Zongquan arrived yesterday!"

"Okay!" When the emperor heard this, he immediately became energetic and then ordered: "Immediately send an order for Zhao Zongquan to enter the palace!"

"I obey the order!" said the eunuch and quickly took the order and left.

Soon Zhao Zongquan came, and after Zhao Zongquan arrived, the emperor kicked out all the people around him, and then met Zhao Zongquan alone.

Then the two chatted in the dormitory for more than an hour...!

During this period, no one knew what the emperor and Zhao Zongquan talked about.

After the emperor finished chatting with Zhao Zongquan, the emperor immediately asked the eunuch to notify Lin Hao, Han Zhang and others to enter the palace.

As soon as Lin Hao entered the emperor's study, he saw Zhao Zongquan waiting on the emperor!

To be honest, Lin Hao didn't have a good impression of this guy at all.

In the original plot, the old emperor had no sons. The reason why Zhao Zongquan was allowed to inherit the throne was because he had no choice when King Yan and King Yong forced the palace!

The old emperor wrote a bloody edict in a hurry, appointing Zhao Zongquan, the man closest to Bianjing and with acceptable abilities, to be the crown prince!

But this involves the issue of the title of Emperor Kao and Emperor Uncle after the adoption.

In the history of ancient Chinese dynasties, there were naturally more than one nephews who succeeded to the throne. However, there were disputes over the imperial examination, and there was much uproar, and there were even two cases where the situation of the dynasty was greatly changed.

One was Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the famous "Great Ceremony", and the other was initiated by the successor of Song Renzong in history.

Let's compare Jiajing and Zhao Zongquan. These two times are all about the difference in the title of emperor uncle in the imperial examination. They have both similarities and differences.

The same thing is that the dispute between the two imperial examinations is not just a simple issue of title. In the final analysis, it is a struggle for power and control of the court.

There are many differences. Emperor Jiajing originally fought for power with the cabinet and took this opportunity to demote old ministers and powerful ministers from the court to increase the influence of the imperial power.

Zhao Zongquan's battle with the Queen Mother ended up in the battle between the emperor and the emperor, because it was related to the issue of the emperor's pro-government, and even how much autonomy he would have after he took office.

But the problem is that since Zhao Zongquan took over the position of prince, served the emperor's return to the west, and successfully ascended the throne, there should not be any controversy about this matter.

When the emperor passed the throne to Zhao Zongquan, the imperial edict on establishing heirs clearly stated that he was appointed crown prince, and he also died as the emperor.

Since Zhao Zongquan accepted this edict, he had adopted the emperor from Xiaozong to Dazong and recognized the emperor as his father. Naturally, he recognized the emperor as Huang Kao and his biological father as Huang Bo. This is an irrefutable fact.

If you do not admit this, it means that Zhao Zongquan is not willing to be the emperor's son, and it means that he refused the emperor's edict to pardon him and make him a prince.

If this is the case, then the legitimacy of his succession to the throne will suffer a fatal blow!

Relatively speaking, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was much tougher than Zhao Zongquan. Emperor Jiajing stopped in the suburbs after arriving in Beijing.

At that time, court officials had a debate about what etiquette should be used to welcome Zhu Houcong, the crown prince of Prince Xingxian.

At that time, Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, decided on the ceremony of the crown prince's accession to the throne based on Yang Tinghe's instruction.

But Jiajing, who had not yet succeeded to the throne, refused to enter the city. He made it clear that he came to the capital to inherit the imperial line, not to inherit the imperial heir.

He was trying to make a fool of himself on the issue of succession, but the cabinet ministers could not defeat him after all, so they accepted it with their noses in their hands!

This is completely different from the imperial edict of Zhao Zongquan's succession to the throne. Emperor Jiajing received the imperial edict in the suburbs before proceeding to the capital.

Even before the great etiquette debate broke out at that time, in order to clarify this position, Emperor Jiajing wanted to welcome his biological mother to Beijing with the courtesy of the empress dowager.

If they did not agree, he even offered to resign the throne and return to Anlu to serve his mother and continue to be the prince. His resolute attitude was not comparable to that of the inconsistent Zhao Zongquan.

In comparison, Zhao Zongquan did not refuse when he accepted the imperial edict to establish his heir, and he did not propose the idea of ​​naming the Supreme Emperor or even the Empress Dowager at the beginning of his succession.

Only after he took control of the situation in the DPRK and all the ministers in the DPRK became his people through Han Zhang's efforts, he wanted to seize power from Cao Taihou, and then overturned the previous fait accompli. This is so disgusting.

Back to business, Lin Hao, Han Zhang, and Fu Bi saluted the emperor at the same time:

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy!" The emperor waved his hand, and then said to Lin Hao and others:

"I, my time is short, and the prince is still young. After my funeral, I hope you will do your best to assist the young emperor Zuo...!"

As the emperor told it, Lin Hao gradually discovered that something was wrong, so Lin Hao once again used his skills to probe the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor seemed to want to serve as the third envoy, rather than the privy envoy in charge of military affairs.

Originally, Lin Hao thought that the emperor had run out of gas, so he wanted to control the emperor to revise the appointment, but then he thought that serving as the third envoy would not be bad either.

You must know that most of the military's power is already under the control of Lin Hao or the Zhang family. The important positions that should be placed have already been arranged. Even if you serve as the privy envoy, it will not be of greater benefit to you.

On the contrary, Lin Hao was given control of the three secretaries and the three agencies of Yantie, Hubu, and Duzhi, which allowed him to arrange more people.

Therefore, this matter is definitely promising, so Lin Hao stopped being a monster and allowed the three ministers to fall on him!

Sure enough, the emperor announced the latest appointments. Han Zhang continued to serve as prime minister, Lin Hao was appointed as the third envoy, Fu Bi was appointed as the privy envoy, and Zhao Zongquan was named King Pu and commander of the front division of the palace.

The emperor planned to let the four of them assist the young emperor Zuo, and obviously wanted the four of them to check and balance each other.

Lin Hao was not surprised that the emperor asked him to serve as the third envoy instead of the privy envoy in charge of military affairs. After all, Lin Hao had long known that the emperor was afraid of the Zhang family!

But everything else is easy to say, but Lin Hao is a little dissatisfied with Zhao Zongquan as the commander of the front department. Isn't this a clear distrust of him?
