Qian Song

Chapter 351 Zhao Gou Meets Xing Bingyi

...

Is Zhao Gou a stupid person?

How can it be!

To be fair, Zhao Gou's start was much better than that of most of the founding emperors, with hundreds of thousands of troops, the name of the world's military commander, and a large group of civil servants and generals.

However, it is undeniable that although Zhao Gou had hundreds of thousands of troops at the beginning of the game, in the name of the general of the world's soldiers and horses, and a large group of civil servants and generals, Zhao Gou also encountered many difficult troubles at the same time.

One of the most typical and difficult troubles is that Zhao Gou has a father who is the emperor, an elder brother who is the emperor, and a nephew who is the prince of Zhengshuo.

With these three people present, Zhao Gou's succession to the throne was not justified, and doubts were inevitable.

Just like what Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan said: "Your Majesty's throne is not right, and Yuan Sheng has returned, how should we deal with it?"

Assuming that any one of Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Chen came back, then Zhao Gou, not to mention becoming emperor, just wanted to have a good death, and I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve.

You know, in many cases, family affection is so fragile in the eyes of the imperial power.

And this nominal matter is actually just one of the many difficult troubles that Zhao Gou encountered, and it is not the most difficult and troublesome one.

One of the most troublesome troubles Zhao Gou encountered was that he actually couldn't control many arrogant soldiers under him.

Take Zongze as an example.

Is Grandpa Zong Zezong a loyal minister of the Zhao Song Dynasty?

There is no doubt about that.

But from Zhao Gou's point of view, Zong Ze is a big thorn who doesn't listen to his control, a big warlord who listens to the tune and doesn't listen to the propaganda. Ze Kangqian, Zong Ze insisted on fighting, even if he knew he was invincible, or even knew that he was giving away his head, Zong Ze was determined to fight, determined to resist.

Some people may say, if Zhao Gou also takes the lead in the battle and fights and fights with Zongze, wouldn't this problem be solved?After all, Zhao Gou was too cowardly, he didn't want to resist, he just wanted to be safe.

It's true that Zhao Gou is intimidated, and Zhao Gou is determined to be safe.

But this problem is definitely not something that can be easily solved simply by Zhao Gou changing from a peace camp to a war camp.

Because at that time, there were not a few people who wanted peace, didn't want to fight, and wanted to be peaceful.

No.

It should be said that it accounts for more people.

Therefore, perhaps Zhao Gou's main battle is more difficult and troublesome.

Of course, this is also because Zhao Gou at that time was not a man of great talent and skill.

——If Zhao Gou at that time had the courage to kill Yue Fei and other heroes to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Jin, and then use this courage to force all the peacemakers to fight and fight with him, then, The results are likely to change.

It's a pity that Zhao Gou's cowardice has been deeply engraved in Zhao Gou's bone marrow. Coupled with the slight pressure of the situation, Zhao Gou immediately turned into Zhao Paopao and Zhao Jiumei, blindly running away, blindly retreating, Blindly cowardly.

And after choosing the path of peace and escape, Zhao Gou, especially Zhao Gou in history, has experienced countless threats of mutiny in his life, and there is no one trustworthy around him. The remaining dozen or so people were thrown into the sea by the golden men. If the woman Empress Wu hadn't stepped forward later, Zhao Gou might have died in the hands of the rout soldiers.

But even so, Zhao Gou finally established a small court of the Southern Song Dynasty in history.

Some people may question whether the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was established by Zhao Jian, and it was clearly established by Zong Ze, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other main battlers.

it is good.

That makes sense.

However, please don’t forget that the final ending in history is that Zong Ze died with regret, Yue Fei was killed unjustly, Han Shizhong and others handed over their military power and tried their best to protect themselves. Zhao Gou’s peace negotiation was finally successful. Moreover, Zhao Gou lived to be 80 years old and died in bed. The key point is that Zhao Gou did not kneel in front of Yue Fei's grave for thousands of years like Qin Hui and others.

It can be said that looking at it this way, Zhao Gou in history is the final winner.

Some people may say that Zhao Gou is just laying flat, everything is the result of the game between Zongze, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and other dominant factions and Qin Hui and other peaceful factions, and Zhao Gou is just reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

No.

People who say that really underestimate Zhao Gou.

Before the Song Dynasty, it was true that powerful ministers controlled the court, and then rebelled, and even tried to usurp the throne. However, since Zhao Kuangyin started the national policy of keeping the internal emptiness and the external strong and weak branches, this kind of thing has also happened in Chinese history. ?
No matter how big a powerful minister is, if you look at the later history, it doesn't matter if it is the Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, no matter how big the powerful minister is, when the emperor wants to abandon you, it is an order, and you are finished, whether you are Wei Zhongxian, or Yan Song doesn't have any power and can compete with the imperial power.

The most typical example is that Yue Fei had already fought in Zhuxian Town at that time, and he had an elite army of [-] in his hands. He was about to start the Northern Expedition. In the end, he was transferred back by Zhao Gou with twelve gold medals, and was killed by Qin Hui and others. up.

Qin Hui is so treacherous and has done so many bad things for Zhao Gou, even to frame Zhongliang, but in the end he could not escape the fate of being abandoned by Zhao Gou.

Historically, before Qin Hui's death, he hoped that his Qin family would continue to be in power after his death, so he asked his adopted son Qin Xi to ask Zhao Gou who would succeed him as prime minister in the future, in order to let the privy envoy at that time Qin Xi succeeded him as chancellor.

As a result, as soon as Qin Xun finished asking, Zhao Gou replied unequivocally, "How can Qing interfere with such matters."

After leaving this sentence that made Qin Xi's back wet, Zhao Gou returned to the palace.

On the night when Zhao Gou returned to the palace, he ordered the Qin family, no matter whether it was Qin Hui, Qin Xi, or any other Qin family, to resign from office.

Immediately afterwards, the edict came into Qin Hui's hands.

Qin Hui looked at it, thumped, and died.

This is what happened to Qin Hui—when Qin Hui failed, he was immediately abandoned by Zhao Gou.

in fact--

Zhao Gou has always been very sober, whether he is a loyal minister or a treacherous minister, they are all pawns in Zhao Gou's hands.

And Zhao Gou himself is an extremely brilliant chess player.

Therefore, after Qin Hui's death, Zhao Gou must do one thing, and that is to clean up Qin Hui's team.

But on the other hand, Zhao Gou still wanted to maintain Qin Hui's ruling direction. To be precise, Zhao Gou's purpose remained unchanged.

What is Zhao Gou's purpose?
Of course, continue to follow the route of surrender and summation.

Therefore, after Zhao Gou screened and selected, he felt that he had to choose someone from Qin Hui's team to be the prime minister and continue to take the blame for him.

At that time, such a thing happened.

When Qin Hui was dying, he had two followers, one was Dong Deyuan and the other was Tang Situi.

After Qin Hui knew that he was dying, he called Dong Deyuan and Tang Situ to entrust his funeral.

In order for Dong Deyuan and Tang Situi to take care of his family, Qin Hui gave each of Dong Deyuan and Tang Situi 1000 taels of silver.

At this time, Dong Deyuan and Tang Situi made different choices.

Dong Deyuan thought, he had to accept Qin Hui's 1000 taels of silver, otherwise Qin Hui would have to think more, and might think that he had two minds, thinking that he would do that person's business, so he took Qin Hui's 1000 taels of silver. two silver.

Tang Situi did not accept the 1000 taels of silver, and said, "Old Master, you have lived a long life, and now you are only suffering from a minor illness. You are busy explaining what to do next, and you will definitely get better."

Later, this matter spread to Zhao Gou's ears.

Zhao Gou imagined that Tang Situi was Qin Hui's best friend and could follow the "Qin Hui route". At the same time, when Qin Hui died, he and Qin Hui were not of the same mind.

Therefore, Zhao Gou promoted Tang Situi to prime minister and continued to follow the "Qin Hui route".

At the same time, Zhao Gou promoted another person, Wan Qixie, who had killed Yue Fei with Qin Hui, to serve as chancellor together with Tang Situi.

This is because Wan Qixie broke up with Qin Hui later, and Wan Qixie, like Qin Hui, had the blood of Yue Fei and others on his hands, and he could continue to follow the "Qin Hui route", which was very suitable for the prime minister in Zhao Gou's mind.

Sure enough, after Tang Situi and Wan Qixie became prime ministers, they continued to follow the script written by Zhao Gou exactly like Qin Hui did when they became prime ministers.

Throughout the history of Zhao Gou's life, although Zhao Gou lived a very useless, unmanly, and shameless life, Zhao Gou did achieve all his goals and played with all his courtiers in the applause , Whether it is a civil servant or a general, whether it is a loyal minister or a treacherous minister, they are all pawns in Zhao Gou's hands. If Zhao Gou uses them, they can shine brightly. If Zhao Gou doesn't use them, they are Zhao Gou's abandoned sons. Everyone They are all at the mercy of Zhao Gou.

Such Zhao Gou, you can say that he is useless, that he is selfish, that he is cowardly, that he is not a man, that he is shameless, but you can never say that he is stupid.

Others may be deceived by Zhao Gou's disguise, but Li Cun, who clearly knows Zhao Gou's life and ending in history, will not.

Looking at Zhao Gou who disguised himself as a filial son and grandson and called himself Emperor Father, Li Cun glanced at the corner of his mouth, said nothing, just waved his hand to announce his resignation, and then left.

Zhao Gou became even more nervous immediately, because he had no idea how Li Cun would arrange him and kill him?Imprison him?Or would Li Cunzhen, whom he was looking forward to the most, foolishly recognize him as a big boy? !

Li Cun did not announce the disposal of Zhao Gou and the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty brought from the Sichuan-Shanxi area. No one dared to deal with Zhao Gou and the others. They could only be left in the Daqing Hall.

After an unknown period of time, a servant came to Zhao Gou and said to Zhao Gou and others: "Your Majesty has an order to announce that Zhao Gou will enter the palace, and other Zhao families will be placed in the Dali Temple."

Zhao Gou didn't understand why Li Cun asked him to enter the palace, but he followed the servant into the palace without hesitation.

Unlike many people who have never entered the palace, Zhao Gou lived in this palace until he was a minor.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the palace, especially as a prisoner, even though Zhao Gou had restrained himself, he still couldn't help but be filled with emotion!
To be honest, if he had a choice, Zhao Gou would really not want to come to this palace that filled him with pain and even fear.

Unfortunately, Zhao Gou had no choice at all.

The only thing Zhao Gou can do now is to let him stop thinking wildly, so as not to bring himself a murderous disaster.

What Zhao Gou never expected was that he couldn't help being brought into the palace, and even into the harem!

This made Zhao Gou's heart rise in his throat!

The harem!
Theoretically speaking, this is a place where no adult man can come except the emperor.

Zhao Gou couldn't figure out why Li Cun let him, an adult man, come into his harem.

What made Zhao Gou's heart beat even more was that Zhao Gou did not see Li Cun, nor did he see Webster who he most wanted to see.

What Zhao Gou saw were Xing Bingyi, Tian Chunluo, Jiang Zuimei and the women in his original palace.

At this moment, Zhao Gou's vision was a little blurred, especially when he saw Xing Bingyi's pretty face that was once engraved in his bone marrow.

Has Zhao Gou ever loved Xing Bingyi?

Definitely loved it.

At the beginning, when Zhao Gou was still an unloved prince, Xing Bingyi was Zhao Gou's poor and humble wife, and she was close to Zhao Gou and encouraged Zhao Gou all the time.

It is precisely because of Xing Bingyi's encouragement and support that Zhao Gou can force himself to become both civil and military.

After losing Xing Bingyi, Zhao Gou began to give up on himself. He no longer had the ambitions of the past, and even needed a woman to protect him.

In fact, what others don't know is that Zhao Gou still keeps the earring given to him by Xing Bingyi even though he is so displaced.

Speaking of this, some people may be a little confused. Since Zhao Gou loves Xing Bingyi so much, he obviously had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands at the time. Why didn't he save Xing Bingyi who was close at hand, but let Xing Bingyi become Li Cun Li Cun's prisoner, Li Cun's plaything?

The reason is simple, because Zhao Gou loves Xing Bingyi, but he loves himself more. His selfish, cowardly, and useless nature makes him finally choose to forget Xing Bingyi, choose to betray his love for Xing Bingyi, and only care about his own safety.

Now, the memories deliberately buried by Zhao Gou are flooding out like a tide, and they are not under Zhao Gou's control at all. In the past, because it might have cost him his life.

fine--

At the critical moment, Zhao Gou's eyes moved down slightly, and then Zhao Gou saw Xing Bingyi's high bulging belly.

Yes.

When Zhao Gou left Xing Bingyi, Xing Bingyi was the same as she is now, not changing at all, even the size of her lower abdomen was the same as back then.

The problem, however, is that that was three years ago.

Xing Bingyi is so pregnant that he will never be Nezha, and it takes three years to conceive before he can give birth.

So the answer is on the horizon.

Xing Bingyi is still the original Xing Bingyi.

But the child in Xing Bingyi's womb is no longer Zhao Gou's.

Out of the corner of Zhao Gou's eyes, he glanced to the side, Jiang Zuimei and several other women in his palace also had big bellies at this time.

"All the children in their womb belong to Li Thief?!"

At this moment, deep in Zhao Gou's heart, he couldn't help being angry that Li Cun played with all his women, and he was also jealous of Li Cun's strong fertility!
However, Zhao Gou was not overwhelmed by jealousy, he knelt down to Xing Bingyi and the other daughters almost immediately and said: "My son, Zhao Gou, pays homage to Concubine Kang and all the ladies..."
