Chapter 371 Changing the title to the child of Yan Wang Yelu Nanxian
Chapter 371: Renamed King of Yan, the child of Yelu Nanxian
Yanfu Palace.
When Zhao Gou arrived in Beijing, he did not live in the palace, but directly moved into Wang Lin's Prince Qi Mansion.
It was only after Zhao Gou entered Beijing that he realized that his return to Beijing was not an order from his father Zhao Ji, but Wang Lin's intention.
Zhao Gou didn't know why, he was very frightened.
The eunuch Huang Kun next to Zhao Ji had a complex expression on his face. He looked deeply at the Crown Prince Gou who seemed to be much taller than before. The thirteen-year-old Zhao Gou had a tall and straight figure, a heroic face, and a bit of momentum in his words and deeds. .
"Your Highness, the official family is in the imperial study. Please come in and pay your respects."
Zhao Gou composed himself, nodded slowly, and silently walked into the imperial study.
In fact, since he was born, this was the first time he entered Zhao Ji's imperial study, the center of power in the Song Dynasty.
And until now, he has only met his father Zhao Ji a handful of times.
Therefore, in his impression, what his father was like was a bit vague.
Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man in his forties, with fine features, pale face, and slightly stooped figure.
Zhao Ji was wearing regular clothes, leaning sideways on the huanghuali wood royal writing desk, his eyes twinkling.
Zhao Gou glanced at Zhao Ji, not daring to look further, and immediately knelt down and worshiped on the ground: "My son, Zhao Gou, pays homage to my father!"
Zhao Ji remained silent, only looking Zhao Gou up and down.
The young man in front of him was just one of the three chess pieces he sent out. Unexpectedly, time passed and he actually sat in the position of the crown prince.
Not long ago, Zhao Ji intended to throw the hot potato of the throne to Zhao Gou and walked away.
But now, his mentality has changed.
No one else, because the Jin soldiers were repulsed by Wang Lin.
It is better to be an emperor than to be an emperor.
Zhao Gou knelt there and waited for a long time, but did not hear Zhao Ji's order to get up, so he became even more uneasy.
Zhao Ji suddenly said slowly: "Gou'er, why did you return to the capital so suddenly?"
Zhao Gou was stunned, and could only answer honestly: "The King of Qi asked me to return to the capital, and I dare not disobey."
Zhao Ji sneered: "Why did he ask people to return to Beijing? Aren't you doing well in Qingzhou?"
"I don't know."
Zhao Gou became furious: "I don't know? As the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, who can control you except my will?"
Zhao Gou broke out in a cold sweat: "My son is guilty!"
Zhao Gou snorted coldly: "Get out of here, get out of the palace, don't let me see you again."
Zhao Gou's face was red, his ears were red, his heart was angry, and he left in anger.
Only then did he realize that in the heart of his father, he, the so-called prince, was nothing.
In comparison, at least in Wang Lin's mind, he was still a student.
Looking at the back of Zhao Gou walking away in embarrassment, Zhao Ji said coldly: "Daban, what do you think the King of Qi wants to do by moving the prince to the capital?"
Huang Kun smiled bitterly, this matter is so sensitive, how could he dare to say anything.
Zhao Ji said coldly: "I know it very well. This is to force me to give up the throne to Zhao Gou. Humph, how can I control my throne in the hands of my subordinates! I will abolish Zhao Gou and establish the crown prince... "
Huang Kun hesitated and said: "In the official family, the replacement of the crown prince is a major matter of the country. If the King of Qi does not obey, I am afraid..."
"That's all. I'm going to pass the order and order King Qi to come to see you. I want to have a good talk with him."
Huang Kun took the order and left.
Zhao Ji fell tiredly on the dragon chair, breathing heavily.
His health has been getting weaker and weaker recently.
His character became even more suspicious, violent, and erratic.
This is probably related to the fact that he has lost the most important thing in a man.
Zhao Ji looked at the empty imperial study and suddenly realized that he, the emperor, was becoming more and more lonely in the palace.
The guards of the Imperial City Division fell into the hands of Wang Lin, and the military power of the Forbidden Army was also controlled by Dadao Guansheng under Wang Lin.
Normally, he could still find a way to seize Wang Lin's military power, but now with the invasion of Jin soldiers, the Song Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, but Wang Lin turned the tide and led the mainstay of the army. Whether in the court or among the people, his status and reputation were unbreakable.
It was beyond the reach of his emperor.
Now Zhao Ji can only hope that Wang Lin still remembers the old love of being a virtuous and respectful minister, and will not usurp his throne, at least not while he is in power, so as to ensure that he will be happy in his old age.
…
As soon as Wang Lin finished handling the funerals of Zhang Shuye and other generals, he received an order from the palace to reward him with the adjacent abandoned Prince Yan's Mansion, and renamed him King of Yan.
Wang Lin has made great contributions to the country, but at this moment he has no title. Zhao Ji just expressed the emperor's attitude in this way.
After Huang Kun announced his decree, he smiled apologetically and said, "King Yan, the official family has summoned you to come to the palace to see me."
Wang Lin smiled and said: "Please, father-in-law, please go back and report to the officials. I will go to the palace to see you after I finish handling the military affairs at hand."
Wang Lin habitually slipped in a few money bills secretly.
Huang Kun dared not accept any more money from Wang Lin at this time, so he refused with a blushing face.
Wang Lin shrugged: "Eunuch Huang, you and I were old friends, but now we have become so different?"
Huang Kun sighed, knowing that any more pretentiousness would only arouse Wang Lin's dissatisfaction, so he accepted it and said: "My lord, today the officials summoned the prince to the palace to ask him why he returned to the capital and reprimand him."
"Oh? It's all up to me. I was leading the army on the front line to fight against the Jin people. I forgot to report it to the officials for a while. I asked the prince to return to the capital. I was mainly worried about the safety of the crown prince.
Besides, when the country is facing a crisis, as the crown prince, the prince should stand with the court, the officials, and the people of the capital, instead of hiding in Qingzhou."
Huang Kun did not expect Wang Lin to speak like this. The two chatted for a while, and then Huang Kun said goodbye and left.
As soon as Huang Kun left, Zhao Gou came out from the back of the hall and said quietly: "Master, you asked me to return to the capital because you are worried about my safety?"
"Otherwise? Do you think that I asked you to return to Beijing just to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor?" Wang Lin smiled calmly.
Zhao Gou looked bitter and lowered his head.
Wang Lin looked deeply at the rather miserable young man in front of him, and suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, don't think too much, your mother and the princess should already be on their way to the capital."
Zhao Gou was shocked and suddenly looked up at Wang Lin.
"I will mobilize the power of the whole country to confront the Jin people in Hebei. The battle between Song and Jin will be a protracted war.
My strategic center has been transferred from Qinglai to Hebei, so my family members are in the capital to show my determination to fight to the death and not retreat!"
Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, he cupped his hands and said with emotion: "Student understands. Master fought to the death to serve the country, in order to show his determination to coexist with us, the Song Dynasty. Master, if it were not for you, the Song Dynasty would surely perish!"
Wang Lin stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't think too much. The national crisis is at hand. We now need to work together to keep the Jin people out of the country, instead of being busy with internal strife and fighting for a meaningless throne.
Zhao Gou, think about it, if the Song Dynasty did not exist, what would you do even if you ascended the throne? I said, I will keep you safe for the rest of your life. We will see in the future, if you are really obsessed with power, I will send you away
You are a country, so what if you are called a loner?"
Zhao Gou blushed when he heard this.
The master said this as if he was a fan of the emperor...
"Don't worry. As soon as I enter the palace, I will discuss with the officials about your entry into the East Palace."
Yanfu Palace.
Seeing Wang Lin enter the door, Zhao Ji suddenly had a false smile on his face: "Aiqing is here, please give me a seat."
"I have come to pay homage to the officials and thank them for their kindness."
Although changing the title of King of Yan was just a gimmick and formality, Wang Lin still had to go through the process of thanking En.
"I heard that Aiqing has moved his family to the capital, so I will give you Prince Yan's Mansion to accommodate your family. I wonder if you have enough manpower in your house? I can transfer some maids and eunuchs from the palace for your use."
"Thank you, official. It's no need. I don't have many family members, and everyone in the family has come from Qingzhou, so it's enough for us."
"In the official family, I moved my family members to the capital. It is nothing more than an attitude to the people of the world. If the capital survives and the Song Dynasty survives, then I, Wang Lin, will survive!"
Zhao Ji was elated, and Wang Lin marched down to command the troops in Hebei. He was willing to move his family to the capital, which was an apology to the court and to him as the emperor.
At the same time, he also expressed his attitude of defending Tokyo to the death.
In fact, Zhao Ji had just received the news, so most of his suspicions about Wang Lin disappeared instantly.
When the officials in the court heard this, they were even more shocked.
All the rumors and rumors that Wang Lin was about to usurp the Song Dynasty were wiped out in private.
The originally somewhat sensitive and complicated relationship between monarch and ministers became harmonious and harmonious, so when Wang Lin talked about Zhao Gou entering the East Palace, Zhao Ji readily agreed.
At this moment, the Jin envoy Wan Yantong, Zhang Xiaochun, Yelu Kong and others had already crossed the Yellow River, and were escorted by two thousand soldiers and horses sent by Yue Fei, and were rushing towards Tokyo.
At the same time, news that the Jin people had ceased war and asked for peace and sent a mission to Beijing for negotiations quickly spread in the capital.
People in Tokyo are beaming with joy and running around to tell each other, just like celebrating the New Year.
Princess Yan, Han Yan, and other members of Wang Lin's family, hundreds of servants, and more than a thousand family members of the main generals of the Fuhu Army were escorted by the Longxiang Army led by Hu Sanniang and Liang Hongyu to Dongping Prefecture, and then took a boat from Dongping Prefecture.
Coming to Tokyo by water.
We can arrive in Beijing tomorrow.
In the future, Hua Rong and Huang Xin will be in charge of Jinan Prefecture, controlling Qinglai and the coast.
Qinglai and Jingdong prefectures have become large granaries and the headquarters of Bohai companies, and must not be lost.
The remaining generals will follow Wang Lin to take charge of Hebei.
Fighting against Jin for the destiny of the country, the battle for the destiny of the country.
…
Xixia Royal City, Xingqing Mansion.
Yerunanxian, who was in power as the Empress Dowager of Xixia, was lying lazily on the soft bed. She was caressing her gradually rounded belly, her face was a little melancholy and complicated.
The elites who relied on the Xixia royal family were all slaughtered by Wang Lin, but the military power was still in her hands, and the Xixia emperor was the legitimate grandson, so there was no doubt about his legitimacy.
And Li, the great merchant of Xixia, had been ordered to surrender to her.
With the financial support of Li's consortium, which is as rich as the country's, her ruling position is even more unbreakable.
But she never expected that a bad relationship in Lingwu would actually make her pregnant.
She suddenly realized that the child she had with Wang Lin seemed to be able to stabilize her dominance.
This is probably because of the recent news that has been coming to Xixia one after another.
Wang Lin led his army to defeat the Jin people in succession and beheaded tens of thousands of them.
The Jin people had no choice but to send envoys to negotiate a truce with Song Dynasty.
And Wang Lin was already the de facto military power controller of the Song State, and his prestige in Xixia reached its peak in an instant.
As long as Wang Lin is here, Xixia will never dare to invade the Song Dynasty again.
And with Wang Lin's military power and intimidation, no one in Xixia would dare to touch Yelu Nanxian easily.
