Chapter 42
In the Baiyu Palace in Bianliang, Emperor Zhao You finished his breathing at noon and began to review the memorials. Tong Guan, the chief magistrate of the prosecutor, carefully stacked the memorials in order of importance and priority. The table table was covered with all the pens of cinnabar, ginseng, tea, towels and other items, and the colors were appropriate. If it were not for the elderly who had served the official family for more than ten years, they would never be so careful and considerate.
"Dolf has been returning to the palace for errands in the past few years, and he has not been unfamiliar with the matters in front of the emperor at all. This shows that Gongzhong is a country of great success." Zhao You took a sip of ginseng tea and thought with satisfaction that he picked up the Jurchen vassals who placed it on the top of the memorial.
As soon as he saw the beginning, Zhao You frowned. The Jurchens did not claim to be a minister, but changed their words to call themselves "Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom", and their tone was on par with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Zhao You held back his breath and looked on. After reporting from the inside, he was preparing to seize the important city of Shenzhou in Liaodong. Now the Jurchen army has 30,000 elite cavalry, of which there are 5,000 full armored Tiefutu, which is suppressed so that the Liao army in Tokyo was closed. The Liao emperor Yelu Dashi was also afraid of the Jurchen army and was reluctant to raise troops to fight the east.
"But spending a little food, grass and weapons, he won the army without fighting. The Liao Kingdom has been a lot of obedience to our dynasty in recent years, and the Jurchen Kingdom has put a lot of efforts in the north." Zhao You pondered secretly, "But the barbarians' ungrateful nature cannot be tolerated." He gently raised his pen and ordered the Privy Council to negotiate with the Jurchen Kingdom to continue to surrender, otherwise the materials to cross the sea to aid the Jurchen Kingdom will be cut as appropriate.
The second memorial was that the Southeast Camp deployed Wang Yan to report the elimination of the remnants of the Demon Cult. Over the years, the Demon Cult has been revived in the southeast prefectures and counties. Zhao You all suspected that Wang Yan was in trouble. Fortunately, Wang Yan repeatedly submitted a letter to reduce his troops and then left the suspicion of the official family. Now the 150,000 army in the southeast has been reduced to 70,000. Wang Yan is still stationed in Jie Xiangyang, and he is under his command. Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other generals stationed in the prefectures and counties. Many imperial guards have been married and have children in the southeast. There have been many ministers who have reported that the imperial guards who were originally left in the southeast to suppress civil unrest, and the wing army is unbearable to fight, which led to the Fang La Rebellion of the Demon Cult. Therefore, please keep the Southeast Camp. Zhao You only wrote a circle for the imperial guards, saying that he had read it.
The third memorial was written by Cai Yan, the governor of Fuzhou, saying that local gentry formed party members to interfere in the government, slander the government, and the fishing village. Zhao You smiled slightly and took out the memorial without red criticism, leaving it to the end. After reading these memorials, even though Zhao You had the ability to see ten things at a glance, he was confident that he could cut off hundreds of cases a day, and after an hour, he was exhausted and exhausted.
The bell of Daqing Palace's time rang out, and it was time to take the pills again. Zhao You looked up at the door of the Imperial Study Room. Tong Guan happened to appear there holding a golden plate in his hand, and it was no different. There was a jade box on the golden plate. Open the jade box and a red pill the size of a longan-eye dripping fragrance. This was specially made by Shen Baoguan, Master Guo used the three true fires.
The little eunuch following Tong Guan held a silver basin. After washing his hands, the eunuch wiped his hands with a towel. Zhao You then picked up the elixir and put it in his mouth. He swallowed it slowly with jade liquefied pills. As the medicine spread, the official's lower abdomen was as hot as a fire. Then he closed his eyes and refined the elixirs, and guided the elixirs to wander around his body. When practicing qi, the official's elixirs had never liked to disturb him. Tong Guan waved his hand to let the eunuch retreat, and he stood beside him with respect to protecting the Dharma. This has been the case every day in the past two years.
It took about half an hour for the official family to practice Qi. However, after only one stick of incense, the official family's face suddenly turned white again. It made Tong Guan frightened, but he did not dare to disturb him. He was worried, not knowing whether to invite the imperial doctor or the real immortal master to check it out. Suddenly, he heard the official family's groan, and blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, and his hands were on the dragon couch.
Tong Guan was at a loss when he saw this. His life and death were all tied to the official family, and he immediately shouted in a crying voice: "Official family, official family..."
Zhao You raised his head and looked at Tong Guan with his eyes wide open. He seemed to want to say something, but he could only hear a sound in his throat and could not say anything. Tong Guan was in a state of silence, and the official family suddenly fell to the ground. Even the jade bowl of the fairy jade liquid in the blooming fairy family was overturned to the ground. He fought all over and there was no sound for a moment.
Tong Guan was shocked and plucked up his courage to help the official family up. He touched his breath and pulse, but there was nothing at all. He was stunned as if he was thundering, and murmured in the local area, "What should I do, what should I do..."
After a while, Tong Guan's mind recovered his intelligence from the chaos and began to consider his own gains and losses. Without his instructions, ordinary eunuchs would never dare to disturb the officials' training without authorization. Even the favorite officials such as Cai Gongxiang, Liang Shizhong, and Li Bangyan must also be informed in advance. The official family died suddenly, and the first major event was to find out the murderer. This responsibility naturally requires the Shenbaoguan, who presented the elixir, to be punished by Guo Jing. Tong Guan had already slapped him ten thousand times in his heart. The second major event was compared.
The first thing is still important, who will inherit the throne? The Taizu of this dynasty did not establish a crown prince in front of him, but because of his sudden death, King Zhao Guangyi of Nili made up the lies of the Jinkui Alliance and usurped the government for eleven years. Since then, all the officials of all dynasties have learned this lesson and have established the crown prince early in the Spring and Autumn Period, in case of the intent, the throne will not be usurped by traitors. The problem now is that although almost everyone in the court knows that the officials and family members want the third prince Zhao Qi to inherit the throne, from the perspective of the court system, the crown prince Zhao Ke should succeed the throne.
Thinking of this, Tong Guan's breathing suddenly became rapid. He suddenly saw an extremely strong light in front of him, and suddenly his whole body trembled again, as if he was standing next to an abyss. His hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
If the third prince is not justified, there will be criticism in the court. In the end, it will be that Prince Cai will use his power over the years to suppress the ministers and make great contributions. Who will manage the family? The new official family will naturally have to replace a group of father-in-chief in charge, and maybe even the family will take the blame. If the prince supports the prince, it seems to be in danger, but has a great reputation. As long as the prince accepts the worship, he will be a legitimate emperor. Even the powerful Taishi Cai, who has no choice. In recent years, the prince's party has withered. If the family helps him in time and provides help, he can be the first in his great achievements, and at least he can maintain his power.
Tong Guan's eyes turned a hint of awe and made up his mind secretly. He gently supported Zhao You's body on the dragon couch and leaned against him, then turned around and left the imperial study room, carefully closed the door. While strictly ordering the young eunuchs not to enter and disturb him, he summoned his confidants and ordered them to summon the prince Zhao Ke and the political affairs officer Zhao Zhifu into the palace immediately. Then, Tong Guan personally guarded the door of the imperial study room, waiting anxiously for the result of this gambling.
Crown Prince Zhao Ke has beenhaved well since childhood, taciturn, not likes to be sensual, not likes to behave like a woman, and is praised by scholars and officials, and everyone in the world knows his wise. Therefore, even though Zhao You has always disliked his son and not likes his father, he is concerned that scholars in the world are clear about his arguments and do not want to abolish him at will. He only slowly eliminates his wings, gradually making court officials and scholars understand that His Majesty's intention to be easy to Chu was unshakable, so he gradually alienated from the prince. In recent years, the arrangement of the official family has been achieved naturally. In addition to the palace sweepers, the scholars who live in the East Palace, were deserted and quiet. Slightly eyesless scholars dare not interact with the prince again. The Deputy Chief of Privy Councilor Shaowu occasionally visited the door, and Qin Hui, the Chief Censor, has not arrived at the East Palace for a long time.
"I thought Qin Hui was a loyal and straight minister, but I was a villain who changed his mind when he saw the wind!" Zhao Ke stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the withering on the ground, his whole body was covered in desolation. In a few days, I was afraid that someone would jump out and call for Yi Chu of the East Palace. "I wonder who will take this head? Is Cai Jing, an old thief?" Zhao You thought viciously, "I don't know what crimes they arranged so that they could ban the lonely circle for a lifetime."
Outside the door, the family came hurriedly and knelt down to report that the eunuch in the palace had arrived. The prince Zhao Ke was shocked and his heart was filled with an unknown premonition: "Is this day so fast?" It was like a person struggling to death. Although he was reluctant to face it, the days of being deposed are always approaching step by step. Every day, Zhao Keru was on pins and needles, making him more and more taciturn and depressed, like a prisoner waiting for the death of autumn, suffering every day.
