Chapter 439 The Ending of Zhao Ji and Zhao Song's Clan
A heavy rain came unexpectedly.
Tokyo is lightning and thundering, and the strong wind is howling.
It rained all night and the three thousand palaces in the imperial city were completely renewed.
Under Hua Rong's command, the Shenwu Army completed strict defenses against Tokyo overnight in the rain. Wu Song and Xu Ning divided the Imperial City Division and the Five City Military Division to maintain the public order in the capital. Yan Qing personally led the Tiger God Guard to be stationed in the Shen Palace.
And the Yan Prince's Mansion.
Yanfu Palace, in Longde Hall.
All the civil and military officials in the court - The number of officials in the court has decreased by nearly half compared to a few months ago. Even for these people, Li Gang and Wu Min selected and added many virtuous and talented people from the martial arts according to Wang Lin's opinion.
Those who were injected into various departments and made up for the power vacuum arising from the imprisonment of Tang Geng and others.
Tokyo Wuxun is full of enthusiasm.
For two hundred years, the emphasis on culture and military affairs was placed on military affairs. Under the system of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the scholars and officials in governing the world, how could the military honors have a day to make a name for themselves?
This is an important factor in the transformation of Wang Lin from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Lin obviously did not disappoint them.
From the beginning of promoting the marriage between the high clans of civil officials and gentry and the military officials to the present, the military officials will directly enter the court stage, which means that in the new dynasty in the future, the military officials will become a force that is not weaker than the civil officials.
Li Gang and Wu Min's expression were excited. After the dynasty changes, they can finally govern without any constraints and strive to recreate and rise a new dynasty and glorious empire.
Their political strategy is consistent and consistent with Wang Lin in a general direction.
This is a key factor in the firm standing behind Wang Lin.
There were a lot of discussions in Longde Hall, and all the civil and military officials were talking about the future court.
Wang Lin walked in slowly, Li Gang, Wu Min, Guo Zhishun and others hurriedly led the civil and military ministers to bow down: "I'll pay homage to Your Highness!"
At this time, Wang Lin had not yet performed the throne ceremony, so His Majesty cannot call him a title for the time being.
Wang Lin slowly walked up to the Danban, but did not sit down on the dragon throne.
He hopes that he will not lose himself in the future because of power.
He stood there quietly, his deep eyes slowly passing through everyone, and finally met with Li Gang, Wu Min, Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo, Guo Zhishun, Huang Qishan and others, and nodded slightly.
There are three things that are urgent now.
First, he dealt with the former Zhao Song royal family, including Song Huizong Zhao Ji, to prepare for the throne ceremony, change the dynasty, and Wang Lin changed the reign to be emperor.
Second, to rectify the situation, deal with dozens of people including Tang Geng who advocated moving south and leading the coup, and revitalized the court.
Third, build the basic institutional framework of the new dynasty, the so-called four pillars that support the operation of the dynasty.
These are simple to say, but they are actually many complex and massive system projects.
In order to reduce shocks and achieve a smooth transition in the government, the most appropriate way is of course to make Zhao Ji abdicate, just like the usurpation of the Later Zhou imperial power by Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin.
But if this is the case, the Zhao Song royal family will be protected.
Chai’s past lessons can be referred to.
Given that Zhao Ji had wanted to attack Wang Lin and his descendants before, Li Gang and others were not sure whether Wang Lin would be on the spot.
This is a very sensitive topic, but it cannot be avoided.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him silently, Li Gang couldn't help but sigh and had to leave the class to politely and said, "Your Highness, I think it can be emulated by Emperor Taizu's rituals to inherit the power of the Zhou Dynasty. He asked Emperor Song Zhao Ji to abdicate, and Your Highness to inherit it.
, tell the world to be at peace with the hearts of all the people.”
Li Gang pondered for a moment, and then said, "As for Emperor Song and his royal family, I think that your highness can be redeemed as Duke of Song, moved to Luoyang, and lived in his old age. The Zhao Song family members all reduced their titles to the third class and moved to Luoyang to settle down.
"
The ministers remained silent.
The suggestion made by Li Gang is actually what everyone thinks. No matter how stupid the Zhao Song royal family is, no matter what Zhao Ji has before, as long as he abdicates, he should protect the wealth and life of the Zhao Song royal family.
It is a political exchange.
Wang Lin remained silent.
In fact, Zhao Ji's threat in his heart was completely useless.
From the beginning, he never wanted to kill a member of the Zhao Song royal family, so it was said that he would never end any future troubles.
If he could not even shock the Zhao family, the incompetent and cowardly people, the emperor would be of no interest.
Besides, with Zhao Fujin and Chongde here... how could he bear the bad reputation of killing his father-in-law?
He was just thinking about how to be more secure and not cause trouble.
Also, should I be deposed in Luoyang or somewhere else?
Zhao Kuangyin was born in Luoyang, so it is considered a historical routine that Li Gang proposed to be placed in Luoyang.
But Wang Lin is destined to move the capital to Youzhou in the future.
As the capital, Kaifeng is really unfavorable. Although this matter needs to be done slowly, we can lay the groundwork now.
As for the title, Wang Lin remembered the Jin people's enthronement of Zhao Ji: Duke Hunde.
He cannot kill Zhao Ji, but he can permanently nail Zhao Ji to the pillar of shame in history.
Wang Lin pondered repeatedly and said nothing. Guo Zhishun, Li Gang and Wu Min and others quietly exchanged glances, thinking that Wang Lin would not let Zhao Ji go, so he gritted his teeth and stood up and proposed the second plan they had agreed privately.
.
Zhao Ji was sentenced to death, and the title of Prince Zhao Gou was renamed, and the last face of the Zhao Song royal family was retained.
Guo Zhishun's daughter serves Wang Lin, and now she must be the throne of imperial concubine.
Guo Zhishun was one of the first court officials to surrender to Wang Lin. He came forward to make suggestions, which naturally avoided the embarrassment of many people.
Guo Zhishun bowed to the ground.
After listening to Guo Zhishun’s report, Wang Lin suddenly smiled.
He looked around at the ministers under Danban, his heart as bright as a mirror.
As former Song ministers, they would definitely not be willing to destroy the Zhao Song royal family. If they could achieve a smooth transition of imperial power through abdication, they would also be spared from being accused of bullying the ministers and serving the two masters.
On the contrary, the new king exempted the emperor and the royal family from the hard advice of the ministers, which was also a merit.
A battle for Song ministers can be considered a good beginning and ending.
"Suang Guo, get up."
As soon as Wang Lin said this, everyone looked at Guo Zhishun with envy.
This means that Guo Zhishun can still become a minister in the future.
Guo Zhishun took a deep breath and stood up and returned to work respectfully.
Whether Wang Lin listened to his advice or not, he gave him enough decent.
Wang Lin slowly walked down Danqiu and chuckled, "Sir, as you said, you will abdicate and treat the Zhao Song royal family well, and will fulfill our grace and mercy of the former monarch and ministers of the Zhao Song royal family."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was grateful.
One of the new kings is to follow good deeds.
The second is that he is open-minded and graceful. This way of dealing with it should minimize the obstacles to his takeover of the imperial power.
The third is to show kindness to everyone, the so-called kindness of the monarch and ministers of the Zhao Song royal family.
Li Gang, Wu Min, Guo Zhishun led all the ministers to crawl on the ground, shouting long live, and thanking each other for not stopping.
You know, Wang Lin now has monopolized the power and has firmly controlled the military power. He wants to kill the Zhao Song royal family to eliminate future troubles, and no one dares to object.
And in history, most of the time when dynasties changed, blood was flowing.
As Li Gang predicted in his heart, Wang Lin was an eternal wise ruler who could tolerate the world.
Wang Lin laughed and said, "However, given that Zhao Ji is stupid and incompetent, he has a serious crime in the state, and the Duke of the State can be granted a title, but it is not appropriate to use Song as the title, and it is still a title of Duke of Hunde, and there is no need to travel thousands of miles to Luoyang, as usual
Resettlement in Beijing, and stay in Yanfu Palace.”
All the ministers were shocked.
As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, Wang Lin actually advocates that Zhao Ji stay in the palace to be placed in. Does this mean that Wang Lin refuses to enter this deep palace? How can this happen?
The ministers were lit up, and Wang Lin quickly gave an explanation that was reasonable and exciting to them-
"Everyone, now the country's destiny is difficult and the national treasury is empty. Everything should be based on military preparations to resist the Jin Dynasty. Hundreds of royal family members of the Zhao Song Dynasty went to Kaifu in Luoyang, and there were many people who spent money, and I thought it was inappropriate.
Placement on the spot and reducing regulations can also be regarded as saving expenses for the court.
As for Gu, he still lives in the royal palace after the throne ceremony. You don’t need to say anything. Gu did this to reduce the burden on the court. Let’s talk about everything after the world is settled.
The eunuchs, palace maids, deacons, etc. in the palace will be halved as appropriate. The palace gardens in the harem can be temporarily closed to reduce expenses."
Wang Lin would definitely not live in this cold and ruthless deep palace.
Safety considerations come first.
After he acquires Yanyun's land in the future, he will establish the capital of Yanjing and Kaifeng's palace, which will be left to Zhao Ji and the Zhao Song royal family.
A strategy for resettlement of Zhao Ji and the Zhao Song royal family was agreed, and the next thing was specifically implemented by Li Gang and others.
But then Wang Lin made another claim to shock the hall: to confer the former crown prince Zhao Gou as the prince of Henan.
Zhao Ji was granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom, but his son was granted the title of Prince of the County.
Li Gang frowned, but did not object.
Zhang Jun hesitated for a while and couldn't help but leave the shift to prepare for advice. However, before he could speak, he heard Wang Lin say calmly: "While Zhao Gou was in charge of Hebei, he helped all the ministers stabilize the court's principles, and actually made contributions to the country.
Moreover, Zhao Gou had the ambition to serve the country, so he planned to let him join the army in the future and take charge of a unit, and follow him to go out to fight the northern expedition to open up the territory for our China."
Zhang Jun and others were shocked and suddenly looked up at Wang Lin.
Let the former crown prince Song take charge of military power... Isn't Wang Lin afraid that Zhao Gou will have a strange intention and will cause another storm to shake the foundation of the country?
Li Gang remembered the rumors about Wang Lin and Zhao Gou's mother Wei Ying. He thought to himself that this was probably just an explanation for Wei's face. As for the command of soldiers, what kind of soldiers can Zhao Gou be a Huangkou son?
Yes, it’s better to stay with you than to keep it elsewhere.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Gangli bowed down and said, "Your Highness is wise!"
Wang Lin looked at Li Gang deeply and smiled without saying a word, but three words appeared in his mind: The old woman fucked her.
Li Gang supported it, and the rest of the people had to make a decision.
...
Eastern Palace.
Zhao Gou stood in the corridor with carved beams and painted buildings in a bleak look, looking at the bright yellow glass eaves of Yanfu Palace at the far end, stunningly.
Wei Ying dragged the ground with a long dress, and walked across the corridor accompanied by two palace maids. Yingying walked over.
Wei Ying said softly: "Go'er."
Zhao Gou said without looking back, "Mom, my son is frightened and uneasy. I wonder if the master will kill all the royal family of our emperor, Song Dynasty... My father and I am afraid they won't be able to survive."
Zhao Gou felt desperate.
In the previous episode, Zhao Ji was bewitched by Tang Geng and wanted to touch Wang Lin's offspring. Such vicious methods definitely touched Wang Lin's bottom line. With Wang Lin's decisive killing, Zhao Ji still wants to survive?
Once Zhao Ji died, his former crown prince naturally couldn't survive.
Because the emperor and the prince are one.
Zhao Gou suddenly turned around and cried, "Mom, you have to take care of yourself. My son probably will settle my mother no matter what the master said."
Wei Ying sighed, held Zhao Gou's cold little hand, and comforted him: "Go'er, don't worry too much, your master will not start a massacre. Your father should be deposed and banned."
Zhao Gou shook his head violently: "Mom, my father wants to kill the master's descendants. With the master's means, how can he not take revenge..."
"Don't doubt that with your sister Maode here, the King of Yan will show mercy. Besides, this situation was caused by the control of the King of Yan... He banned the Yanfu Palace and treated Maode and Er well as the daughter of the Song princess,
The hidden dangers of the rebellion of the Zhao Song royal family no longer exist."
Wei Ying said quietly: "You will never learn these methods of his mind and ability. It is a strange thing to do if the dynasty is not changed."
