This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 48: The shamelessness of the traitor and the heroism of Si Yan

If Emperor Taizu had survived, Zhao Dezhao would have been the perfect choice for the crown prince.

Emperor Taizu died suddenly, and Taizong succeeded to the throne, which seemed good to Zhao Dezhao.During the Northern Expedition, there was a commotion at night and everyone could not find Taizong. They thought that something had happened to him, so they suggested that Zhao Dezhao be made emperor.

I don’t know whether this is true or not. After he was defeated and returned to Bianjing, Zhao Dezhao once asked for a reward for the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition. Taizong sarcastically said: "It won't be too late to reward you after you become an emperor."

Zhao Dezhao returned to his residence and committed suicide immediately.

The son of Emperor Taizu, Zhao Dezhao, who almost became the emperor of the Song Dynasty, passed away like this.

The above is what historians say. No one knows the specific cause of Zhao Dezhao's death.

With reference to the sudden death of his brother Zhao Defang, future generations will inevitably have various suspicions about the cause of Zhao Dezhao's death.

Zhao Yuanyan's expression suddenly changed, "Get out!"

Zhao Yunrang chuckled, "You and I both know that Emperor Taizong's succession was unclear..."

"That's the order of Emperor Taizu!" Zhao Yuanyan was the youngest son of Emperor Taizong, so he naturally wanted to speak for his father.

"Emperor Taizu is really noble and upright. He did not leave the throne to his son, but to his brothers. Hahahaha!" Zhao Yunrang stood up and left with a laugh.

He knew that [-]% of the people who attacked him were Zhao Yuanyan.

There is also a [-]% chance that they are those crazy people.

Zhao Yunrang went to the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother.

Li Xian happened to enter the palace to express his gratitude. When he heard that this person was Zhao Yunrang, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

There is no way, the famous spare tire family is the only one in history.

Zhao Yunrang was the spare tire prepared by Zhenzong, and Zhao Zongshi, Zhao Yunrang's son, was the spare tire prepared by Zhao Zhen.In the end, Zhao Yun became cannon fodder, but Zhao Zongshi successfully counterattacked.

"Marquis Dingyuan!" Zhao Yunrang glanced at Li Xian and said with a smile.

"Envoy." Zhao Yunrang did not make him king.

When she arrived at the Queen Mother's place, she was discussing matters with the ministers.

After the discussion was over, the prime ministers and ministers came out and saw Li Xian. Cao Li's eyes were cold and dismissive, but Lu Yijian still smiled like a spring breeze.

This man is indeed a great figure in the city... Li Xian handed him over.

The Queen Mother called Zhao Yunrang in first.

"...I don't know who committed the murder, so I thought about King Ding. I found King Ding and scolded him. I was impulsive." Zhao Yunrang apologized.

"There is no need for this." Facing the man who almost became a prince, the Queen Mother was very serious.

"Then I thought of something. I wonder if the Queen Mother has ever heard that before Zhao Dezhao went there..." Zhao Yunrang looked at the Queen Mother.

"Are you talking about his curse?" The Queen Mother nodded, "I know that the late emperor once mentioned this matter. But the oath is just false..."

The Queen Mother was suddenly speechless.

"It is difficult for the heirs of the former emperor, and it is still the same for today's officials. The Queen Mother and I are worried that Zhao Dezhao's oath is causing trouble!" Zhao Yunrang resigned.

The rest is the Queen Mother's business.The Imperial City Secretary just left it there, why not throw it out to investigate the matter.

The Queen Mother immediately summoned Li Xian.

"The male elder is getting married, and Qian Wuxiao will go out with Congde and the others to get to know more people. Maybe he will meet the woman he likes!" The Queen Mother sent Li Xian away, and then called the people from the Imperial City Department.

"Queen Mother, when Taizu died, Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne. Later, after Zhao Dezhao committed suicide, some of Emperor Taizu's people hid among the people and were never heard from again. However, there have been some strange things in recent years."

"Say."

"In the clan, people of Taizong's lineage encountered many things. I investigated carefully and found someone behind the scenes. The Imperial City Division once caught a person, but he committed suicide immediately. That decisiveness shocked me. I I dare not say who is behind this person..."

The Queen Mother said quietly: "I can't comment on the matters between Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong's brothers. But if someone is behind the scenes, the Imperial City Department will deal with it decisively!"

"Yes!"

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time, called Zhao Zhen, and ordered him to bring more guards when he went out in the future.

"Yes." Zhao Zhen didn't know why and looked helpless.

"There are enemies," the Queen Mother said.

"Who?" Zhao Zhen was very curious, thinking that the emperor still had enemies?

The Queen Mother pointed to the sky, "Perhaps, they are from Emperor Taizu."

Zhao Zhen shuddered, "Emperor Taizu?"

The Queen Mother looked at him and suddenly said: "I am here, I feel at ease."

Zhao Zhen relaxed all over, sat down and said, "Okay."

Luo Chongxun watched from the side as the Queen Mother picked up the memorial again. The official sat next to her and asked a few questions from time to time.Occasionally, if she made a mistake, the Queen Mother would frown, and the officials would move their buttocks and hide away.The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and the official came forward with a flattering look on her face to analyze the matter again...

"...I report to the officials and the Queen Mother that the Li family in the northwest party is unruly. I believe that the Song Dynasty should be wary of the Li family..."

The Queen Mother asked: "How do you feel?"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, "Li Shi has been quite respectful in the past few decades, but it should not be underestimated." He said with some worry: "Madam, my words are a little vague!"

"No, this is what an emperor should do." The Queen Mother said: "Emperors sometimes have to be vague when speaking, especially when they are not sure about the matter, so they have to leave room for leeway. You said earlier that Li has been quite respectful in the past few decades. That's a compliment. By saying it shouldn't be underestimated, it's a disparagement."

The Queen Mother looked at him and said, "Praise and criticism are all in the emperor's heart, but he will never tell the result easily. The ministers will be trembling because of this, for fear of guessing the emperor's thoughts wrongly and triggering thunder. This is why the emperor cannot be blindly gentle and be kind. , it must also be because of the thunderbolt method."

Zhao Zhen understood, but sadly found that he could not be kind while holding a long sword in his hand, ready to attack his ministers at any time.

"You can't do it." Li Xian drank cold tea at home, which was his favorite.Zhao Zhen, dressed in plain clothes, sat beside him.The cicadas on the tree were calling desperately.Laifu lay lazily at Li Xian's feet, not even bothering to raise his eyelids. "Yes!" Zhao Zhen took the cold tea from Xinghua, and the accompanying chamberlain said: "In the official family, your slaves should take a sip first."

Zhao Zhen turned a deaf ear, took a sip, and praised: "It's really refreshing."

Zhang Ze gave the waiter a look, and the two went out. The waiter said, "This is the rule."

"Rules don't apply here." Zhang Ze said, "Since you have just arrived at the official's house and don't know how to deal with it, I will forgive you once."

The servant hurriedly apologized, thought about it later, and muttered: "Last time I went to the clan's house, the official was thirsty, but he didn't even dare to take a sip of tea!"

Inside, Zhao Zhen said quietly: "My family's affairs are quite complicated, and the affairs between Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong are widely spread. When the late emperor came, he was in trouble because of his heirs, and the clan was also involved."

Li Xian thought more, "Speaking of which, you have been familiar with men and women for a long time. Are there any pregnant women around you?"

Zhao Zhen looked confused, "Can you not mention this?"

"Others can ignore it, but you can't." Li Xian shook his head, "If your heirs are in trouble, the future of the Song Dynasty will be worrying."

After Zhao Zongshi succeeded in his counterattack, he fought with his ministers over the status of his father Zhao Yunrang. Although there was a sense of testing each other between the emperor and his ministers, he showed in his heart that he was not willing to respect Zhao Zhen as his father.

I have the throne, but I'm sorry, you are not my biological father. Let's talk about it ourselves.

It's not that Zhao Zhen is incompetent, it's just that all the children he gave birth to died.

"A man can still have children at fifty, so I'm not in a hurry. You, on the other hand, will be twenty soon! I heard that you haven't eaten meat yet?" Zhao Zhen suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Do you know the wonders of women?"

Ha ha!

The old driver just smiled.

When midsummer came, Feng Zheng finally couldn't hold on anymore and begged for bones.

"I, I am deeply saddened that I have not served the officials and recreated the prosperous times."

Feng Zheng's butt was sticking out, and Li Xian felt a little pitiful for the old man from behind.

He turned his eyes and saw Wang Qinruo looking at Old Feng with concern. Wang Zeng saw his hypocrisy and was sneering, probably thinking of something.

"It's admirable that Prime Minister Wang cares so much about Prime Minister Feng." Wang Zeng's words sounded like gunpowder.

"It should be like this." Wang Qinruo said calmly.

"I wonder who the person who impeached Prime Minister Feng the day before yesterday belongs to. How could I remember that that person had some contacts with Prime Minister Wang?" Wang Zeng sneered: "Prime Minister Wang is so righteous that he is willing to wait for Prime Minister Feng for a few more days."

Gee!
This sharp irony would make anyone else feel ashamed and angry.

Wang Qinruo said calmly: "Public is public, private is private. If the public matter is wrong, then do whatever it takes. If it's a private matter, naturally you should be concerned."

"Is it possible that Prime Minister Wang drank too much?" Wang Zeng was surprised. "That day, I heard that Prime Minister Wang said that Prime Minister Feng was occupying the latrine and not taking a shit..."

"You heard wrong." Wang Qinruo's expression changed slightly.

"I swear!" Wang Zengfei wanted to slap him in the face.

Wang Qinruo couldn't avoid it, and Li Xian was also waiting to watch the excitement, thinking about how Wang Qinruo could save his face.

"Prime Minister Feng, be careful!" Wang Qinruo walked to Feng Zheng's side and shed tears for some reason.

This ability!
Li Xian glanced at Wang Zeng, who was also stunned.

Then, he shouted: "The thief is shameless!"

Wang Qinruo turned a deaf ear.

Wang Zeng continued to yell and scold, shaking off the scandalous things Wang Qinruo had done back then.

Feng Zheng's job offer was rejected, and if nothing else happened, he would be rejected once or twice.

Li Xian was about to leave the palace, but was stopped by Han Siyan.

The weather was hot, and her little face was a little blushing, and she was a little excited at the moment, "Marquis Dingyuan, today they sent a lovely boy, he is only fifteen years old, and he likes the words of the Marquis the most..."

15 years old... Li Xian's head was full of black lines, "I said..."

"You should hurry up!" Han Wei said with a bitter face, "If you get married earlier, I will be relieved."

"What?" Li Xian said in disbelief: "The Queen Mother has left it to you to choose a wife for me?"

"What do you think?"

Li Xian was angry, "What are you capable of?"

Han Wei took out a wooden sign and raised her eyebrows, "Look carefully."

"Mengchang...Han?"

"Yes." The girl raised her little face and said proudly: "I think Han Wei has a wide circle of friends in Bianjing. Wherever my wooden sign goes, who won't give me face?"

"Disrespect, disrespect!" Li Xian handed over his hand.

"It's easy to talk about." Han Wei patted her chest, "Your marriage will be taken care of by me. However, you have to think hard about what you like!"

"Me?" Li Xian looked at the girl and suddenly said seriously, "What I like is..."

"What kind?"

"You kind."

"Marquis Dingyuan!"

Amidst the girl's stamping her feet and anger, Li Xian laughed and left.
