Chapter 371 Your emperor's throne belongs to me!

Zhao Chen knew what his father said was correct, but he couldn't really understand.

To understand something, it is not up to listening to others' reasons. What others say is ultimately a summary of other people's experience.

People cannot deeply understand something without personally experiencing it.

People like Zhao Huan who can only be emperors for one year just after traveling through time. In that situation, not only is their father unreliable, but dozens of brothers unreliable, and ministers unreliable.

In that environment, people can do anything.

After experiencing that kind of danger, people will completely let themselves go!

You will also be more rational in recognizing the lowest rules of this world!

But Zhao Chen grew up in a rich and graceful manner. When Wanyan Zong was approaching the city, it was his father's shoulders that shouldered the heavy responsibility of the entire Song Dynasty. He had never experienced the crisis at all.

When the ministers of the dynasty wanted to disrupt the government, his father was suppressing the situation. When the Confucian scholars rioted, when the chaos in the south, when the Yanyun crisis, and the northwest crisis, these moments that shocked the Song Dynasty were suppressed by his father with iron fist.

He knew these stories, but he couldn't empathize them.

In his heart, killing Zhao Xu was very cruel, and it was a tragedy between the same clan.

Zhao Chen nodded, but Zhao Huan could not see true recognition in his eyes.

Zhao Huan sighed and said, "Brother, if you don't kill your seventh uncle today, you can't explain it to the country and the royal family. The royal family should be the first, and the destruction of the royal family should be removed! You will know from now on that time. Go back and rest quickly. I will spend more days with your mother in the past few days. I haven't visited him."

"Well, Daddy, you'll find some rest, too."

"Go."

Zhao Chen left, Zhao Huan sat in the study and thought alone.

The emperor's son grew up, which itself means that a new political struggle has begun.

Zhao Huan suddenly realized a problem: he spent too little on his heirs or thought too little.

He is also a human being, and he will die on the day. When he dies on that day, the political situation is normal.

Without a strong heir, it is impossible to maintain the increasingly powerful empire and continue to follow his century-old strategic plan.

Shao Chengzhang came in and waited aside.

Zhao Huan suddenly asked, "Who have you ever contacted with the elder brother these days?"

"When I returned to the official house, it was Princess Ji who came."

Zhao Huan nodded, which made sense.

"Yesterday, Prince Yun also met his elder brother."

"Prince Yun? What did he do when he saw his elder brother?"

"The Prince of Yun and his elder brother discussed calligraphy and painting."

Zhao Huan just nodded and said nothing.

But he keenly realized that there was a shadow of Zhao Ji behind this incident.

Prince Zhao Kai of Yun is Zhao Ji's third son, and the most handsome one among Zhao Ji's thirty-one sons, who is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Zhao Ji is a typical artist and loves all beautiful things very much.

Compared with the sick prince Zhao Huan back then, Prince Yun Zhao Kai is simply a perfect person.

Not only that, Zhao Kai also secretly took the imperial examination back then.

In that exam, Zhao Kai won the top Jinshi list. No one knew that the top ranking was Zhao Kai. Afterwards, Zhao Kai told Song Huizong Zhao Ji that Zhao Ji loved Zhao Kai even more.

Compared with such a person, Zhao Huan at that time was conservative, timid and dull. To outsiders, he looked like a difference between a waste and a genius.

This is a plot that only appears in novels, but this is how history is arranged.

If it weren't for Wanyan Zong's hope of troops coming to the city and Zhao Ji rushed to pass the throne, the prince Zhao Huan would probably have been deposed.

Zhao Ji loved his third son, so Zhao Kai was naturally dependent on his father.

Zhao Huan imprisoned Zhao Ji, and Zhao Kai even scolded him in person for this, but at that time, Zhao Huan was busy fighting with the Jin Dynasty and had no time to pay attention to him.

Later, Zhao Huan was also busy with the new policy.

He is not Hu Hai, and he will kill his younger brothers and sisters after he ascended the throne.

Those princes would not want to see them as long as they did not make trouble.

In Zhao Huan's mind, the new policy is the most important thing, and he devoted all his energy and time to the new policy.

He has to invest a hundred times more energy to create a brand new Song Dynasty!

"It seems that some people can't sit still!"

Early in the morning, the emperor arrived at the Chuigong Hall.

Waiting in the Chuigong Hall were Zhao Zhongcong, Zhao Hongyi, Duke of Lu County, Zhao Shuren, Duke of Wei County, and Zhao Xu, King Ji who was about to collapse.

Originally, these people were still making a big fuss with Zhao Zhongcong, thinking that Zhao Zhongcong was unfair to them.

But after the emperor arrived, he became honest.

"Officials, officials, ministers are wronged! I am wronged!"

Duke of Lu County rolled and crawled, rushed towards Zhao Huan, but was stopped by Shao Chengzhang.

Shao Chengzhang scolded: "Duke of Lu County, pay attention to your identity!"

Because of his long-term sensuality, the Duke of Lu County looked very haggard, weak, and even a little dark.

Zhao Zifang kowtowed and said, "The officials, ministers and others are willing to donate all their property and donate them!"

The Wei County Duke was a tough guy, blushing and said angrily: "The official family is all confused about me. I will be punished today!"

What he meant was that I admit my mistakes, I apologized for you. If you want to let me go, you are worse than beasts if you don’t let me go. You and your clan are tragic. You are not beasts, what are you!

King Ji Zhao Xu on the side became much more honest and continued to kneel there.

These leaders of the grain swallowing case were all here. Zhao Huan just looked at them calmly, and did not even move the hair on his face or speak.

He did not come to interrogate people, but to hear.

Although Zhao Zhongcong is a major official, his level is lower than that of Wei County Duke. These royal families will follow some ordinary rules on weekdays.

But now it is involved in the death penalty, and it is difficult for Zhao Zhongcong to suppress it.

Therefore, it is necessary for the emperor to come forward to shock the scene.

Zhao Zhongcong said sternly: "You are so annexing the huge amount of imperial grain that is outrageous! Within three years, six million stones can be seen, and there are still people who are hungry and unable to fill their stomachs! According to the clan rules, white silk should be given!"

The Duke of Lu County suddenly looked up and said, "There is no such clan rule!"

Zhao Zhongcong said sternly: "Just changed!"

Therefore, when this matter came to the royal family, he would say that in order to kill them, Zhao Zhongcong used his own life to force the emperor to modify the clan rules.

When it was passed to the scholars and officials and the people, they would say this: The emperor was forced to be helpless and extremely sad, but he destroyed his relatives for justice and put the people first. He was a good emperor.

And there may be another statement at some third-rate discussion meetings in later generations: In fact, the emperor was not that strong, and sometimes he was very weak, and was forced to kill people by major affairs, and he was also a member of his tribe.

The Duke of Wei County said angrily: "Zhao Huan! You want to kill us! Why do you kill us? Are you not afraid of Taizu and Taizong being angry!"

The Duke of Lu County seemed to have made his promise. He was very soft just now, but now he immediately turned his face: "Zhao Huan, I am the blood of Taizu! Your throne belongs to me!"

As soon as he said this, the entire Chugong Hall seemed to have become cold in an instant.

The emperor's face immediately became as cold as iron!
