Shi Miyuan asked Zhao Kuo to appoint Zheng Qingzhi as Zhao Guicheng's professor at Prince Yi's Mansion. Zheng Qingzhi taught Zhao Guicheng how to write articles every day. When Zheng Qingzhi met Shi Miyuan, he showed him the poems and essays written by Zhao Guicheng. Shi Miyuan was full of praise. Shi Miyuan once asked Zheng Qingzhi how to write articles.

"I heard that he is already very wise, how about it?" Zheng Qingzhi said: "I can't list all his wise things, but I can sum them up in one sentence: extraordinary." Shi Miyuan nodded again and again, setting his ambition.

Even more determined. Zheng Qingzhi was initially a minor official and served as a professor, but later he continued to be promoted and still served as a professor. Shi Miyuan then began to discuss Zhao Hong's shortcomings and often told Zhao Kuo about Zhao Hong's shortcomings.

When Zhao Kuo became seriously ill, Shi Miyuan sent Zheng Qingzhi to Prince Yi's Mansion and secretly told Zhao Guicheng about his intention to be a prince. Zhao Guicheng did not say a word. Zheng Qingzhi said: "Prime Minister, because I have been traveling for many years, I only tell Zhao Guicheng what he has said to me."

Tell me, if you don't answer a word now, tell me how to reply to the Prime Minister?" Zhao Guicheng then handed over his hand and said slowly: "There is still an old mother in Shaoxing, how dare I act on my own?" Zheng Qingzhi told Shi Miyuan, so the two of them sighed together.

He is extraordinary.

Five days later, Zhao Kuo's condition became more serious. Shi Miyuan falsely conveyed the imperial edict, made Zhao Guicheng the prince, named Zhao Yun, granted him the title of Military Envoy of the Wutai Army, and granted him the title of Duke of Chengguo. Five days later, Zhao Kuo came to the throne.

After the collapse, Shi Miyuan sent Yang Gu and Yang Shi, the brothers and sons of Queen Yang Guizhi, to report to Queen Yang about the plan to abolish the throne. Queen Yang said in shock: "The prince Zhao Hong was established by the late emperor, how can we dare to change it without authorization?" Yang Gu

The others came out and told Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan asked them to request again, and came and went seven times in one night, but Queen Yang still did not agree. Yang Gu and others then wept and worshiped and said: "The soldiers and civilians at home and abroad have all returned to their hearts and become the Duke of the country. If not,

If you set him up, disaster will inevitably happen, and I'm afraid the Yang family will not be able to escape this disaster."

In fact, the relationship between Queen Yang and Zhao Hong was not very good. As the queen, Yang Guizhi initially wanted to have a good relationship with Zhao Hong. Zhao Hong's wife, Wu, was also a relative of Queen Yang. However, Wu relied on Queen Yang's power.

, was very jealous. She couldn't tolerate Zhao Hong's concubines, and always complained to Queen Yang every time she entered the palace, saying that Zhao Hong was wrong. Queen Yang rewarded her with a water spirit double lotus, and asked Zhao Hong to personally serve as the Wu family's concubine.

Wearing it on her head. She also thought about Zhao Hong and wanted them to be harmonious as husband and wife.

A few days later, the Wu family went to the palace to file a complaint, saying that Zhao Hong was angry with her and broke the water essence double lotus. Empress Yang couldn't help but became furious and became dissatisfied with Zhao Hong. At that time, Zhen Dexiu was Zhao Hong's master, and she spoke sincerely.

Taught Zhao Hong. He asked Zhao Hong to be filial to his loving mother and respect his ministers, and he would naturally follow his destiny. Otherwise, it would be "deeply worrying". However, Zhao Hong did not listen. Since he was disrespectful to Queen Yang, Zhao Hong would naturally not get Queen Yang.

Therefore, he was not established as the prince for a long time. Prince Jing Xian was appointed prince two and a half years after he was established as prince. Zhao Hong was appointed prince for three years, and until Zhao Kuo died, he was not appointed prince.

Empress Yang initially disagreed with Shi Miyuan's desire to depose and establish a prince. In the end, Yang Gu brothers knelt down and cried and begged their aunt to let her consider the Yang family. They were worried that Zhao Hong's succession would be detrimental to the Yang family. Empress Yang finally wavered and asked Guicheng

Where. After Shi Miyuan heard this, he hurriedly sent people on fast horses to summon the prince, and said to them: "The prince who is summoned now is the prince of Yiwang Palace, not the prince of Wansui Lane. If the announcement is made by mistake, you will all be executed."

When Zhao Guicheng arrived, Shi Miyuan quickly asked him to visit Queen Yang. Queen Yang stroked his back and said:

"You are my son now!"

At this time, Zhao Hong also learned about Zhao Kuo's death, so he eagerly waited for the call at home. However, after a long time, the messenger had not arrived. Zhao Hong couldn't help himself, and peeked between the walls, and saw the messenger passing by his palace without coming in.

Suspicion arose. Soon he saw the messenger walking past a man surrounded by people. It was already dark and he didn't know who the man was. He was very confused.

At this time, Shi Miyuan had already brought Zhao Guicheng to the coffin. After the mourning ceremony was completed, he summoned Zhao Hong. After hearing the order, Zhao Hong hurriedly entered the palace. Every time he entered the palace gate, the imperial guards stopped his attendants. Shi Miyuan asked him

When he was led to the coffin, the mourning ceremony was completed, he led out the spiritual curtain and asked Marshal Xia Zhen to guard him. Soon Shi Miyuan summoned a hundred officials to listen to the imperial edict, and led Zhao Hong to the old one. Zhao Hong said in astonishment

: "How can I still be on this shift after what happened today?"

Xia Zhen lied to him and said: "You should be here before the edict is read out, and you can only ascend the throne after the edict is read out." Zhao Hong thought it was right. Soon, he saw a person in the candle shadow sitting on the throne in the distance. After the edict was read out,

All the officials praised and danced to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne. Zhao Hong refused to bow, so Xia Zhen held his head and bowed. Empress Yang corrected the imperial edict: Zhao Hong was the founder of Yitong Sansi, and he was granted the title of Ji.

The king of Yangjun was appointed as the governor of Ning State. Zhao Guicheng changed his name to Zhao Yun and succeeded to the throne as emperor. He also added Zhao Hong as Shaobao and was granted the title of King Ji. Then he appointed Zhao Hong as Liquan envoy and ordered him to the given residence.

. Empress Yang became the Empress Dowager and listened to politics behind the curtain. In November, the new emperor celebrated the Empress Dowager's birthday on May 16th.

Zhao Yun was first named Zhao Yuju, and later changed his name to Zhao Guicheng. He was born on Guihai day of the first month of the first year of Kaixi in his home in Hongqiao, Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture. Zhao Yuju was Zhao Kuang's distant cousin, and he was the tenth grandson of Zhao Kuangyin's son Zhao Dezhao.

The throne has never been inherited by people from Zhao Dezhao's lineage. By the generation of Zhao Yuju's father, Zhao Xiwen, he was very alienated from the royal family. When Zhao Xiwen was alive, he did not have any titles and only served as a local official in Shanyin County. His life was similar to that of common people.

No different.

When Zhao and Ju were seven years old, their father Zhao Xiwen passed away, and their biological mother, Quan, took him and his younger brother Zhao Yurui back to their parents' home. The mother and son lived in the house of their elder brother, who was the guardian, until Zhao and Ju were sixteen years old.

Zidu died young, so Shi Miyuan searched for a clan member with good moral character to inherit the throne of King Yi. Shi Miyuan handed over this task to his aide Yu Tianxi. Yu Tianxi accidentally took shelter from the rain at the home of Chief Quanbao and met brothers Zhao and Ju.

Yu Tianxi felt that the two brothers behaved appropriately, so he recommended them to Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan took the two brothers to Lin'an for personal consideration. He believed that his brothers Zhao and Ju were suitable candidates to succeed King Yi, so he selected Zhao and Ju in the 14th year of Jiading.

In the palace, he changed his name to Zhao Guicheng and inherited the throne of King Yi. When Zhao Kuo died, Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang pretended to pass on the imperial edict, deposed Zhao Hong as King Ji, established Zhao Guicheng as the new emperor, and changed his name to Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun was a child, he played with a group of children at home. He once climbed up a high place and sat alone, calling himself the King. The children also called him King Zhao. After he ascended the throne, he was determined to seek talents and summoned Zhitanzhou's virtuous and talented people to become a Zhixueshi.

In the courtyard, Wei Liaoweng, who knew Jiading Prefecture, was appointed as a living minister. Both of them were famous Neo-Confucianists. They were summoned at once and were very popular among the public. Only a few days after the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, I suddenly heard that Huzhou was uneasy and someone wanted to establish a palace that had been placed there.

King Ji Zhao Hong. So Prime Minister Shi Miyuan hurriedly sent Peng Ren, the palace chief general, to lead his army to Huzhou.

Regarding Shi Miyuan’s dethronement,

Many people in the government and the public felt outraged. After Ji Wang Zhao Hong was put under custody, Huzhou natives Pan Ren and Pan Bing brothers contacted Taihu fishermen and Huzhou patrolmen to plot to support Ji Wang Zhao Hong. They sent their cousin Pan Fu to Huaibei to win over Li Quan.

However, Li Quan was a man of great change. He made an appointment on the surface to send troops to provide reinforcements. But when the time came, he broke the promise and broke the promise.

The Pan Ren brothers had no choice but to start a rebellion in a hurry. They dressed up as Li Quan's "loyalty army" and entered the city overnight to find Zhao Hong, the king of Ji.

Hong Hao cried and refused, and Pan Ren and others said in unison: "If the king refuses to agree, we will die together with the king if we advance without retreating." Zhao Hong had no choice but to make an agreement with them, saying: "You can't hurt the Queen Mother.

With the official family?" Pan Ren and others agreed.

So Zhao Hong opened the gold and silk from the army treasury and rewarded everyone. Xie Zhouqing, the governor of the state, also led his officials to congratulate him. Pan Ren and others issued an announcement in the name of Li Quan, revealing the city gate, declaring that Shi Miyuan had abolished the crime, and claimed to have led two elite soldiers.

One hundred thousand people marched by land and water, and the people of the state were naturally agitated. At dawn, King Ji Zhao Hong came out of the city and saw that there were only patrol soldiers on land, only Taihu fishing boats in the water, and there was no Li Quan, nor any of Li Quan's men and horses on land and water.

Zhao Hong knew that it would be difficult to accomplish anything with this rabble, so he sent someone to report the rebellion to the court and personally led the state soldiers to attack the rebels. By the time the army sent by Shi Miyuan arrived in Huzhou, the rebels had been put down by King Zhao Hong of Ji.

.Pan Bing and Pan Fu were killed on the spot. Pan Ren fled to Chuzhou and was arrested, and was taken back to Lin'an to be executed.

The Huzhou Incident was a protest against Shi Miyuan's dictatorship by both the government and the public, showing that as long as Ji Wang Zhao Hong existed, he would have considerable appeal. Therefore, even though Ji Wang Zhao Hong was not the main culprit and had made contributions to quelling the rebellion, Shi Miyuan was also determined to

Cutting the grass and eradicating the root. Soon, Shi Miyuan sent his cronies Yu Tianxi to Huzhou, saying that he was ordered to treat the illness of King Zhao Hong of Ji. However, he secretly threatened King Zhao Hong of Ji to hang himself and announced that he died of illness. In order to quell the criticism from the government and the public, Zhao Yun gave a posthumous gift.

Zhao Hong, the king of Ji, was appointed as a young master. Soon Shi Miyuan ordered his minions to report, and Zhao Yun withdrew his orders, pursued his royal title, and demoted him to the title of Duke of Baling County.

This way of handling aroused the indignation of upright people. Courtiers such as Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng and Hu Mengyu ignored their dismissal from office and went into exile, and one after another they complained about the injustice to King Zhao Hong of Ji. However, when it came to dealing with the issue of King Zhao Hong of Ji, Zhao Hong

Yun could only collude with Shi Miyuan. Because he denied Shi Miyuan, the legitimacy of his succession was shaken. Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan had formed a relationship in which both prospered and suffered losses, and Shi Miyuan also gained greater

of exclusive capital.

Since then, Shi Miyuan has controlled the government and acted arbitrarily, and his associates have controlled almost all important positions from the court to the local government. Although Shi Miyuan was extremely powerful, there were still loyal people who were not afraid of the power and wrote letters criticizing his autocratic rule.

During the spring festival in March of the fourth year of Shaoding, Shi Miyuan and Zhao Yun drank and chatted together, and said tentatively: "I heard that there are many people who have impeached me recently. Your Majesty must not believe it!" Zhao Yun said humorously: "I know, I know.

"Do you still remember that there was a locust plague in the old capital during the time of the late Emperor Zhang Sheng? Fortunately, there is no danger in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am in peace." Shi Miyuan immediately felt relieved when Zhao Yun said this. Zhao Yun mentioned the locust plague.
