The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 565 The time is ripe
"Should I tell her about this?" Song Huizong murmured to himself, bowed his head in thought, and sighed deeply, "Forget it, don't say it!"

For such a happy event as Zhao Gou's wedding, Song Huizong would wake up with a smile in his dreams.Now he doesn't have the mind to deal with the memorial, he is all focused on Zhao Gou's marriage.It is difficult for Song Huizong to come forward now, because after that incident, the relationship between the two has dropped to a freezing point and it is difficult to resolve it.

"Pass my will, no one is allowed to disturb me!"

Song Huizong got up and left from the study, and came to the other garden where Zhao Gou lived as a child, where he watched the surrounding scenery leisurely.The once young saplings have grown into towering trees with dense leaves that block the sun; there are lush lawns and competing flowers everywhere, all of which were planted by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Gou was 16 years old, and these flowers and plants had been replaced countless times. Song Huizong still did not abandon it, and still ordered people to take care of it on time.Song Huizong came to the house again. The books here were all neatly arranged on the bookshelves, and he opened one at random, and then closed it again.

Song Huizong couldn't help sighing: "It has been more than ten years, and finally this day has come."

"Brother Emperor!"

"Thirteenth brother!" Song Huizong said with a slight smile, "You said that my son is getting married, what kind of gift should I, my father, give me?"

"Brother Huang has his own plans, how dare I have any suggestions!" Zhao Si bowed and replied, he didn't know how to say it.

If his imperial brother didn't get into a stalemate with Zhao Gou, then he still has a lot to say.In fact, he also heard Zhao Yougong say that Zhao Gou was going to get married, so he came to meet the emperor.After all, Zhao Gou's matter is very important, and any accidents will affect the overall situation.

"I have more than a dozen sons, and there are not a few daughters!" Song Huizong said to himself, "Among so many children, there are very few who can take on great responsibilities. I used to think he was the prince, but later found out that he was not. He left. The road is the road I walked in the past."

"This kind of road will make it difficult for Da Song to dominate the world and submit to the world, and it may even make Da Song weaker and weaker. I am heartbroken and let Da Song develop. I don't care about it, but I don't want Xiao Jiu to have this ability. From the beginning I know what I think and how I do it, and the future of Da Song should be handed over to Xiao Jiu."

"However, I also know that if the crown prince is abolished and the crown prince is re-appointed, the political situation will be turbulent and it will be difficult to stop Youyou's mouth. It is natural for the son to inherit the throne; if Xiao Jiu is born of the empress, it will not be such a big trouble. It's a pity She was originally a maidservant, and a mother is more valuable than a child, so she is favored by me."

"Even a virtuous concubine can't be compared with the honor of the empress, and there is no power behind her. If Xiaojiu alone relies on her strength, it will be difficult to convince the public. How can the great country of Song Dynasty be all military generals, and civil servants refuse to accept it? You can't convince them."

"Even though I have won my trust, there is nothing I can do. I know that there is no turning back after this plan is implemented. However, I still hope that Xiao Jiu can understand my heart. If you don't understand, it's okay, everything is for Daddy Song."

Song Huizong talked to himself, and seemed to be pouring out his inner pain. No one understood except him alone.Even Zhao Si couldn't understand why his elder brother did this, it was exactly the same as Emperor Liao Tianzuo, there was not much difference.

High meritorious service, if such a thing might happen to other people, Zhao Gou would never do it.This is Zhao Si's trust, but it's a pity that Zhao Ji is unwilling to listen to his persuasion countless times.Until later, Zhao Xi's secret investigation was indeed as Zhao Ji said.

The Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. If Zhao Gou did not inherit the throne in a legitimate way, but was only the favor of the emperor, then the ministers in the court would not be convinced at all.Moreover, Zhao Si also thought that if Zhao Gou's temperament was used, those people would be expelled from the court directly, and the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

As the king of a country, state affairs are the most important thing, even personal feelings have to be thrown away.If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to become the king of a country.Even though Zhao Gou is Song Huizong's most beloved son, as long as it endangers the country, he will definitely exert pressure or take measures.

In fact, Zhao Si didn't understand that what Zhao Ji did was to protect Zhao Gou from being criticized by others.Zhao Gou's military achievements have never been seen since the founding of the Song Dynasty.It can be said that Zhao Gou's military exploits are astonishing as ever, and his status in the army is unmatched.

If Zhao Gou really had the intention of rebelling, I am afraid that those generals would all be attached to Zhao Gou, and the Song Dynasty would be in chaos.Just solved the hidden dangers of foreign enemies, but civil strife broke out again, how did the Song Dynasty rise and develop.After thinking about it, Song Huizong finally made up his mind to cut off all the power in Zhao Gou's hands.

Zhao Gou held a heavy army, and if he held an important position, let alone Song Huizong, even the other ministers would be in fear. In that case, the emperor would not be in power at the court, but Zhao Gou would be in power.In this way, it is the slander and frame-up of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

In order to cut off those people's thoughts, Song Huizong simply made a one-size-fits-all, no matter who you are, it will be difficult to frame Zhao Gou.Now Zhao Gou is a commoner with no power in his hands, so he is no threat to the ministers of the court.Most of them are civil servants, and there are too few who are really military commanders. If Zhao Gou is in court for a day, they will be worried.

Because Zhao Gou represents the military general, if the military general occupies the position in the court again, those civil servants will be afraid.Even if Song Huizong reconciles, it will lead to civil and military officials fighting endlessly. In order to quell such internal fighting, Song Huizong can only do this.

Only Zhao seemed to understand the pain in Song Huizong's heart.However, Zhao seems to be dead, and it is difficult to support Zhao Ji in the court, all of which are borne by Song Huizong alone.It is conceivable that such pain made Song Huizong have mixed feelings and worries.

Now Zhao Gou is finally getting married. Song Huizong has been waiting for this day for a long time.

Not only Song Huizong was waiting, but even Zhao Si was waiting, and there was another person he was waiting for.It's just that the guy just doesn't live up to expectations and is not in a hurry.As long as Zhao Cheng is married, he has a family, and the meaning is very different.

"Thirteenth brother, after Xiaojiu's wedding, you will tell your kid all the ins and outs!" Song Huizong paused for a moment, and said lightly: "The time is ripe!"

"It's time to talk to him!" Zhao Si nodded in agreement, and then continued: "Brother Huang, there is already news about the matter you asked me to investigate. If the prediction is correct, it should be within three months. happened."

"Why so fast?" Song Huizong was puzzled, and he looked at Zhao Si in confusion.

Zhao Si smiled wryly: "It's a coincidence that this incident happened. If Xiao Jiu hadn't stepped in the middle, he wouldn't have started to implement it recklessly."

"If you say that, has Xiao Jiu already guessed it?" Song Huizong said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, why would he intervene? It just makes our plan easier to implement!"

Zhao Si replied: "Whether Xiao Jiu guessed it, I'm not sure. However, there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, Xiao Jiu should do this for the stability of the Song Dynasty. Only in this way can it make sense."

Song Huizong pondered for a long time, and nodded in agreement.After all, only the two of them knew about this plan, and no one else knew about it at all. Except for the reason that Zhao Gou wanted the Song Dynasty to gain stability and prosperity for a period of time, other reasons were simply unreasonable.

Immediately, Song Huizong and Zhao Si looked at each other and smiled. They both understood each other's thoughts and what to do next.
