The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 11 Everything is worth it for the great Song Dynasty
When Yang Jian was dying, he saw Zhao Ji's unfathomable depth and courage.Even though the Song Dynasty was in chaos, the people were in dire straits, and the politics were in turmoil, Cai Jingquan remained calm, calm and content, immersed in calligraphy and painting, all for the sake of eliminating the dispute between the two factions and consolidating his throne.

Cai Jing was single-handedly promoted by Song Huizong, and he was his confidant, but at the last moment, he lied to others for his own benefit.On the surface, Zhao Ji didn't care, but in fact he was so anxious that he regained power by the hands of others.Moreover, Song Huizong also took this opportunity to kill Yang Jian, cutting out a major scourge around him.

Yang Jian never thought that there would be such a day when he died. The former emperor of calligraphy and painting would become so scheming and strategizing.As a famous eunuch in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was as famous as Tong Guan, but he died in July 1110, that is, July in the fourth year of Daguan.In history, Yang Jian became the Jiedu Envoy of the Changhua Army, and successively served as the Jiedu Envoy of Zhen'an, Qinghai, and Zhendong.

It's a pity that the trajectory of history has changed. Before Yang Jian was promoted to Taifu, he was given poisonous wine by Song Huizong and died.

"Come in!" Song Huizong Zhao Ji glanced at the dead Yang Jian coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I ordered you to supervise the matter, have you got any results?"

From nowhere appeared a man in black clothes, wearing a face scarf, he couldn't see his face, only heard his voice, it was a man, bowed and said: "Go back to the emperor, I have already found out, just as the censor Zhang Master said As mentioned, Mr. Cai is indeed forming a party for private interests, even his eight sons, six of them all hold important official positions in the court, and as for every department, they all have his eyes and influence."

"In this way, I have not wronged him!" Song Huizong laughed angrily, "You order to go down and use all means to make these people go to remote places outside the capital to take up official positions, which are still in name only. At that time, Give them another blow so that they will never recover."

The man remembered some things, wondering: "Mr. Cai's fifth son, Cai Yu is Princess Kangfu's husband-in-law, or the emperor's will. If Princess Kangfu was not young, she would have married into Cai's mansion; and Mr. Cai The eldest son of Cai You, he and his father are life-and-death rivals, how should these two be dealt with?"

Zhao Ji bowed his head in thought and said with a sneer, "Cai Youming is at odds with Cai Jing on the surface, but in fact the father and son are singing double reeds, one in the light and the other in the dark, and it is actually a play between the two of them. Since Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou, Their father and son love each other deeply, so they will be sent together, there is no need to show mercy."

"As for Cai Yu, he has a honest personality and is loyal to me. He is the exact opposite of his elder brother. He is a person who really thinks about me and the country of the Song Dynasty. Don't worry about this son, let him be in the court. If he can stand the test, he will be rewarded, and if he is the same as his father, then he will be killed."

The man nodded comprehensibly, he understood the meaning of Song Huizong's words, and everything was done according to Zhao Ji's order.However, Zhao Ji ordered his subordinates to carry the dead Yang Jian away.When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhao Ji, who looked at Song Huizong in bewilderment, and heard him sigh again, and said guiltily: "You have been living in the dark all these years, it is really hard for you! "

"Your majesty, why aren't you like this?" The man smiled slightly, as if he didn't have the way of a monarch and his ministers, just like a good friend.

Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Ji smiled bitterly, and said: "If it weren't for this, how would I keep the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't want to leave a broken country to my descendants. If there is such a day, how can I face my father?" What? It’s just that, without you all these years, I really don’t know what to do.”

"I am addicted to calligraphy and painting, and there must be complaints in the court. Even the common people are spreading the word that I am just the emperor of calligraphy and painting. When will the dispute be resolved. Since there is going to be chaos, let it be completely, thoroughly turned upside down, and then the real cleansing will take place."

Zhao Ji was filled with emotions, and the man was also silent, he knew deeply the burden on Zhao Ji, so he could only listen quietly, and heard Zhao Ji smile again: "Now there are only you and me, so there is no need for a black scarf to cover your face. "

The man smiled, and then took off the black scarf on his face, revealing his true face.Looking carefully, this person is somewhat similar to Zhao Ji, especially the eyes of the two are almost carved out of the same mold. The only difference is that Zhao Ji looks younger, and that person's face looks like he is 40 years old. Even the temples are a little white.

Song Huizong sighed: "You have suffered all these years, Thirteenth Brother!"

This person is the No. 13 son of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty——Zhao Si, who is also the younger brother of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Ji, the younger brother of Song Zhezong's mother and compatriots, and the powerful King Cai in the court.If the ministers of the DPRK and China were here, they would be shocked, because Zhao Siyu died of a disease in the fifth year of Chongning, that is, in 1106 AD, and passed away.

At the beginning, Song Huizong Zhao Ji came to the throne, and the person who competed with him for the throne was Zhao Si.However, no one would have imagined that the two of them had such a good relationship, and they were extremely jealous that they hadn't met.What's more, Zhao seems to be feigning death to hide in the darkness and become Zhao Ji's right-hand man, which is even more unbelievable.

"Brother Huang, this statement is wrong!" Zhao Si smiled slightly and said: "At the beginning, it was not my brother's will to compete for the throne with my brother. When the father was the king of a country, he couldn't help himself. Anxiety, I already know it well, it is better to be a prince, and it is much more convenient to do things."

"If you really want to think about the country of the Great Song Dynasty, you may not be able to resolve the crisis in the world of internal and external troubles by becoming the emperor. Now, the younger brother has turned from the bright side to the dark, and no one knows the identity of the younger brother, nor will he Guessing that it will be a dead person, not yet dead, lowered a lot of vigilance, and then deal them a heavy blow at that time, it must be easy to catch."

"Brother Huang, you are now the son of heaven. In the eyes of my younger brother, you are not as happy as my younger brother. Back then, my younger brother didn't care about the throne, and it happened that the queen mother didn't like me either. So, I went along with the flow and withdrew from the fight for the throne. Brother emperor, Your prestige is widely circulated in the court and even among the people, is it really worth it?"

Zhao Ji's eyes were firm, and he replied decisively: "It's worth it!"

"Brother Huang, why do you have to do it at this time? Is it really the imminent moment?" Zhao Si frowned and asked suspiciously.

Song Huizong nodded, and said: "Our ancestors founded the Great Song Dynasty. After the father took over the throne, the conflicts accumulated over the years in the Song Dynasty finally broke out at the time of the father. Even Zhezong has not changed a bit. I am a descendant of the Zhao family. It is my duty to protect my Great Song Dynasty, and as a king, it is even more duty bound."

"I have always hoped that in the future, there will be an heir to inherit the great rule and change the situation of the Song Dynasty. I didn't believe in the motto left by that man until the birth of Lao Jiu. When Lao Jiu was born, you should have seen that the house is full of red clouds. I believe this son must be the future savior of Da Song, after years of observation, what do you think of Lao Jiu?"

Zhao Si pondered and said: "It's not a thing in the pool, but it has a huge chest!"

Song Huizong was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Lao Jiu is so praised by the younger brother, it seems that my guess is correct."

"Brother Huang, do you really decide to pass the throne to Lao Jiu?" Zhao Si frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, the throne has been inherited by the eldest son. If it is passed on to the heirs, brothers can also inherit it. Now, the emperor has more than a dozen princes, and they will be passed on to the ninth son, and they may be opposed by the ministers in the court!"

"It's not up to them to interfere with who the Chuan Chuan belongs to." Song Huizong sneered, recalling Zhao Gou's appearance, and sighed: "As for whether Lao Jiu can inherit the great order, it depends on his ability. Sovereign. If you don’t have the heart to win and the ability to strategize, how can you become a monarch.”

"I have many descendants, and from the eldest son onwards, they are all afraid of me without exception, and the elder one learns from me in a decent manner, eating, drinking, playing, playing music, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is to please me, only the ninth one is different. Even if I am the emperor, he is happy and not afraid, and his eyes are often sad, which is rare, so I seem to love the boss the most, and I want to cultivate the ability of the old nine when he is far and near. "

"If a hundred years from now, the Great Song Dynasty is handed over to them, it may not be able to deter the officials. At the beginning, I always thought that there was no hope. I just wanted to be an emperor who was content with pleasure and disregarded the government, and let the Great Song Dynasty weaken. It is not uncommon for the ministers of the DPRK and China to intrigue, and I am already disappointed."

"Did you remember what the Taoist said back then?"

Zhao Si nodded. At that time, the two of them went hunting together.It happened that he met a Taoist priest with immortal demeanor and gave Zhao Ji a piece of proverbs, but he never thought that the good news would come from Webster soon. It was at that time that Zhao Ji began to prepare. They planned in secret, and waited for Zhao Gou's birth. After the final confirmation, they began to plan, and gradually eliminated the ministers with bad intentions in the court, but did not dare to eliminate them wantonly.

At the beginning, Song Huizong was extremely disappointed and prepared to do nothing and be his own emperor with peace of mind. He didn't care about everything, but he didn't expect the birth of Zhao Gou, which aroused his fighting spirit in his heart.That night, Song Huizong discussed with Cai Wang and Zhao Si, and decided to use the power that had never been used. Zhao Si became the leader of the dark power, and began to do everything for the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Si had also seen Zhao Gou from a distance, and found that he was different. After careful observation, he found that what Zhao Gou was thinking about was the country of the Song Dynasty, and how to cut off the chaotic officials and thieves in the court.Coincidentally, Zhao Gou listed fourteen crimes and wrote about his own feelings, and was finally seen by Song Huizong, so he decided to take action.

"Brother Huang, didn't you push yourself to a dead end by doing this?" Zhao Xi said helplessly.

Song Huizong smiled lightly, and said: "Only by going to a dead end can I open up a path for my descendants, and that is worth it. Even if I will be listed as a fatuous person in the history of later generations, so what. As long as the Song Dynasty truly When it becomes stronger, these are just false names, I don’t care.”

Zhao Si stared wide-eyed, he knew that Zhao Ji's greatest strength was to hold back and arrange everything in secret.As the king of a country, who doesn't want to be famous forever, all history books praise his great achievements.Song Huizong's great achievements were all in poetry and painting, and his achievements were quite high, and he became an emperor of calligraphy and painting.

Song Huizong never cared about these things. In his mind, the only thing he could do was to free Da Song from his weakness, eliminate a series of concealments, and eliminate uncertain factors.As long as Da Song can really become stronger, even if it means sacrificing his reputation in later generations, he will not hesitate.

"Brother Huang became the emperor, it is the blessing of Song Dynasty, but people in the world don't understand Brother Huang's painstaking efforts, there are strong enemies outside, and sorrows inside, everything is for Da Song to rise again, only by breaking this situation can we Rejuvenated. However, in this way, Brother Huang’s reputation in history will be tainted for thousands of years. Everything is the Song Dynasty. For the sake of the Zhao family’s country, I have to do it. The younger brother also saw that you are still the king of Duan If you have the common people in your heart, you will be willing to submit to others."
