The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 89 The Edict of Zen
As Prime Minister of the Right, Wang Pu is under the Prime Minister of the Left, Fan Zhi. Don't think it's just a level behind. Wang Pu's life is not satisfactory, but Wang Pu can be a man!

Looking at this posture, Zhao Kuangyin is now the emperor. You, Fan Zhi, are still thinking about whether there is room for maneuver. I don’t know if you are stupid or your head is flooded. Otherwise, if you can say such a thing, people call it We came here to let us support him. Your officials all these years have been treated like dogs.

Fan Zhi was still holding on, and he was thinking that Zhao Kuangyin would change his mind. This Fan Zhi was really stupid and naive. At this time, one of the school captains approached Fan Zhi with a knife again:
"Don't kneel yet?"

Fan Zhi was also sweating coldly as a civil servant had ever been in such close contact with a weapon like a sword. It seemed that civil servants had a weak side.

But Fan Zhi still didn't kneel down. He claimed to be a loyal minister of Da Zhou. He knew, he knew that once he knelt down, he would lose the country of Da Zhou. What face would he have to see Zhou Shizong in the future? What about Taizu?
But if he really did this, he would have to pay the price with his life, so he should save his life to protect the queen mother and young master.I don't know if this is Fan Zhi's self-comfort or what, under the force of the sword halberd emitting cold light, his knees bent down, crying:

"Your majesty, old minister, old minister is confused."

A pair of knees knelt firmly on the ground, which means that Zhao Kuangyin has already taken [-]% of Da Zhou's country, and he is short of ascending the throne.

"The two prime ministers are invited, and the ministers are invited. I would like to thank the two prime ministers here." Zhao Kuangyin enthusiastically helped the two prime ministers, and even changed his own name. At first, he still called me, but now he has become The emperor's special appellation Zhen.

Then Zhao Kuangyin ordered the relevant personnel to prepare for the enthronement, while he left the two prime ministers Fan Zhi and Wang Pu, his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Pu.

"Zhen, the reason why the two prime ministers are left behind is because I have something to discuss with them." Zhao Kuangyin sat upright, and the rest of the people stood below.

"Your majesty is serious. If there is anything, just give orders. The old minister will definitely go through fire and water." Now is not the time for Fan Zhi and Wang Pu to put on airs. They will rule the world, and they can't help but be careless.

"I'll discuss with the two of you about enthronement. Well, let Kuang Yi and Zhao Pu tell you about it." Zhao Kuangyin was embarrassed to say, otherwise he thought he couldn't wait to become emperor?

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi bowed to his elder brother first, and then said: "My lords, your majesty is kind. The majesty wants to convey to the empress dowager the two prime ministers, follow the precedent of Yao and Shun's abdication, and let the young master give the throne to the emperor. Leave a good name through the ages.”

Fan Zhi and the others looked at each other when they heard it:
"Abdication is a good thing, and it can be passed on to future generations. So what about the emperor, the queen mother and the young master?" Although the two of them surrendered to Zhao Kuangyin, they still feel that they are a little sorry for Da Zhou, so let's do the last thing for the queen mother and the young master. .

"Zhen, not only will you not harm the Young Master and the Queen Mother, but you should treat them with more courtesy. Let Kuang Yi and Zhao Pu discuss the rest with you."

Speaking of which, Zhao Kuangyin walked out of the house, because Zhao Xu went out just now to pick up his family members to meet Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin turned into another courtyard. At this time, the small courtyard was already overcrowded, and Zhao Kuangyin's family members were all here.

"At present, the child is worrying you." As soon as Zhao Kuangyin entered the yard, he saw his mother. Mrs. Du was sitting there, and his wives and concubines and Zhao Xu were all around her, comforting the old lady. Lie hugged Zhao Dezhao and kept teasing him. The little guy let out a series of laughter from time to time, which amused everyone.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin kneeling in front of him, he immediately handed the little guy to his daughter-in-law and helped his son up:

"Kuangyin, you are the emperor now, how can you kneel down at every turn? You must pay attention in the future." Said the old lady and helped Zhao Kuangyin up.

"Mother, no matter what kind of person the child becomes, he will always be your son. Human relations are the great filial piety in the world, how can it be changed."

"You were extraordinary when you were born that day. I didn't expect that you were really a rich and powerful person. The ancestors of our Zhao family can now smile happily." The old lady's eyes narrowed into lines with joy.

"Master" Mrs. He and Mrs. Wang bowed to Zhao Kuangyin. Mrs. He is Zhao Kuangyin's official wife, and Mrs. Wang is his second wife. Both of them belong to the kind of gentle and virtuous people, and there is no phenomenon of jealousy.

"I made you worry." Zhao Kuangyin comforted the two of them, teased his second son with his hands, and at the same time gently stroked Wang's belly. Wang is about to give birth now, with a motherly look on her face of brilliance.

In the palace, the Empress Dowager hugged the little emperor and kept crying. This little emperor was not her own son, but her own nephew. He was the son of her sister, but she grew up with her since she was a child. almost.

The little emperor, Chai Zongxun, looked around heartlessly, not knowing that his throne was about to be lost.

Fan Zhi knelt down below.Also broke down in tears:
"The matter of the Empress Dowager has come to an end. According to the minister, it is better to let the young master abdicate, see, and leave a good name. Zhao Kuangyin promised the minister to treat the young master and the descendants of the Chai family well. This is the only thing that the queen mother can do. What are the requirements?"

"Our orphans and widows are lucky to survive, and the descendants of the Chai family can still preserve their wealth, so how dare they ask for anything else?" The queen mother cried even harder, and the little emperor also looked sad and indignant because of this. look.

What she said is also true. According to the experience of the five generations since the change of dynasties, there are a few royal family members who can survive, so he, the Chai family, can be treated with courtesy. This is the best result, but the country is lost, but The clan was preserved.

"Since the Empress Dowager has no other requests, I'll go and answer the question now. They are still waiting! In addition..." Fan Zhi paused while speaking. It seemed that there was something unspeakable. There is something unspeakable to hide.

"Besides, they're going to hold a coronation ceremony right away."

The Queen Mother also found it unbelievable: "So fast?"

"It's the queen mother, this is the explanation of Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu." Fan Zhi looked sad, and they were indeed a little too anxious.Empress Dowager Fu just shed tears and said nothing, Fan Zhi and Wang Pu kowtowed and withdrew.

Everyone is busy preparing for the new emperor's enthronement. Zhao Kuangyin has already lived in the palace now. He is the actual emperor. Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, everyone recognizes it.

It is already the afternoon of the fourth day of the first lunar month, and it is almost dusk. Usually, everyone is busy and lively at this time, but now it seems a bit deserted, and the city gates are closed early, and the streets are patrolling. There are also many people.

Officials are usually "off work" at this time, today they are surprisingly energetic, because today there will be a new emperor enthroned, everyone gathered early in the Chongyuan Hall, where Zhao Kuangyin will hold the enthronement ceremony.

Zhao Kuangyin did not come, everyone was waiting, Zhao Kuangyin walked in after a while, followed by Zhao Xu, Fan Zhi and others. Then you can officially put on the emperor's clothes.

Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zhi:

"Lord Fan, where is the young master's edict for the Zen throne?" It must be that the final formalities are missing now.

"The Edict of the Zen Throne?" Fan Zhi looked at Wang Pu, who was also stunned. They were only busy persuading the officials, but they forgot to draft the Edict of the Throne of Zen.

"The old minister is confused, the old minister was negligent for a while, this, this..."

"What, what is the abdication without the edict of the Zen position? Ah." Zhao Pu asked angrily.

"Old minister, let's go, let's go."

At this time, when one of the hundred officials heard this, he was happy, because he had a copy of the imperial edict secretly drafted in his robe sleeve. Thinking about how he could make a contribution to the new emperor, he finally thought of this edict.

In fact, he is not sure whether he can use it or not. It is best to use it. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t need it. He never thought that God would really care for him:
"My lord, Tao Guzai has already drafted the imperial edict for the Zen position, please preview it." He took out the imperial edict from his sleeve as he spoke.

Zhao Kuangyin took it over and looked at it, and was very satisfied: "Okay, I'll let you read the edict of the Zen position."

Tao Gu immediately knelt on the ground and shouted long live, what a great honor this is, the new emperor was enthroned by him to read out the edict, and he will have the capital to say it in the future, can he not thank you?
After all the officials stood in line, Tao Gu immediately began to read according to the imperial decree:

"Born to rule the people, the tree is the chief shepherd. The two emperors pushed the public and abdicated, and the three kings took advantage of the time to revolutionize: the extreme is the same.

To the last boy, the family will not make it.People's hearts are gone, and destiny returns.

In front of the hall of the Jiedu envoy of the Ziergui German Army, Zhao Taiwei was inspected in front of the palace.To assist my great-grandfather, to be honored by the emperor.

Catch Sejong, and save meritorious deeds.Conquering east and west, Jue Ji Mao Yan.Heaven, earth, ghosts and gods enjoy virtue.Praise the prison lawsuit, return to the most benevolent.

Responding to heaven and obeying people, Fa Yao, Zen and Shun.Feel relieved, let him be your guest.Woohoo Qinzai, I only fear the destiny. "

This is the last edict issued in the name of the Zhou Dynasty. From then on, the world will be replaced by others. It is this edict that handed over the power of Da Zhou. These words represent the transfer of power No, all the lands conquered by Chai Rong have the surname Zhao.

What does this edict actually mean?

　Happy Children's Day la la la la! !
