Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 713
After a few months of going around like this, Zhao Heng still came to Lin'an, the temporary residence of the Song Dynasty, although it has now become a real imperial capital.

"The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they only regard Hangzhou as Bianzhou."

Zhao Heng looked at the painted boats on the West Lake, and said in a low voice, "Is this Jiangnan water town so intoxicating?"

As an emperor, he has a really bad feeling about Jiangnan. He doesn't like the place where Jun's bone marrow can wither, or he doesn't like it now. If Zhao Heng who went to Mount Tai back then might like it, but now Zhao Heng doesn't like this one. What he likes now is the life of a joint venture with gold and iron horses running thousands of miles like a tiger. In his opinion, that is the life a good man should live, and the life a king should live.

How should I put it, his current thinking is the kind of thinking of the emperor who conquers the world. That kind of people only believe in the power in their own hands. For that kind of people, even if the world is turned against them, they still have the confidence to reset All over the world, even they will be full of nostalgia for the days when they competed in the world. Thinking of doing it again, Zhu Yuanzhang has been leading people to help the late Ming Dynasty based on this mentality. I have already taken people out for a while.

Zhao Heng wandered around Lin'an for a day, and at night, he asked Guo Jing to take him into the palace.

The imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty followed the regulations of the Northern Song Dynasty. The emperor still lived in the Funing Palace. The palace was not luxurious, but there were too many scenery in the garden. There were more than 30 places for the emperor to live comfortably. Pavilions, rooms, buildings, platforms, pavilions, views, and pavilions are scattered all over the place. , spread all over the entire palace, making Zhao Heng extremely unhappy.

Originally, Jiangnan water town was enough to kill his mind, but he didn't expect that the palace was even more extreme than the outside. He really didn't know what to say. How could such a place produce an emperor who aspired to the world.

Just as they entered the palace, a conversation was going on in Funing Hall.

"Why did Aiqing enter the palace today? She asked you three times and five orders on weekdays, but you didn't enter the palace. Why did you come today?"

Song Lizong Zhao Yun leaned on his sleeping couch, looking at an old man in linen clothes with white beard and hair in front of him, the two got very close, Zhao Yun didn't even have the slightest precaution against him, in the bedroom was a The guards and ministers are not there.

The old man was eating there with a plate full of slices of meat that were sliced ​​very thinly. When the old man picked it up, light could pass through. There were several plates of the same thing beside him.

"How did the officials know it was? The old minister came and made so many stewed mandarin ducks and five treasures for me."

The old man was talking while eating.

"The imperial dining room lost a cup of original chicken soup today. I knew you were here, so I specially asked someone to make this stewed mandarin duck and five treasures for you. I remember that this is your favorite food. You almost died because of Ouyang that time. The hand of the sharp edge, isn't this the last thing you want to eat?"

Zhao Yun also reached out and took a plate. After imitating the old man, he grabbed it with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's the most refreshing to eat with you. You should be careful when eating. You stay and help me. Anyway, your The position of the leader of the beggar gang has already been given away, and you should also be given the position of the leader of the dark box now, Qigong!"

Zhao Yun looked at the old man Hong Qigong opposite and said.

"The position of the leader of the gang was given, but the leader of the dark box didn't give it. I don't feel at ease with my two apprentices. Besides, the dark box is the Song Xiang army. How could it be given by the leader of the gang privately? Back then Qiao Feng, the ninth generation leader of the guild leader Qiao Feng, was able to accept the position of the leader of the secret chamber because he was granted the position privately, and he was not appointed by the court, so there was such a big incident. The Lord can't give it to others without the emperor's order!"

Hong Qigong ate two mouthfuls of stewed mandarin duck and five treasures and said.

What he said is really a big secret. It turns out that the largest beggar gang in the world during the Song Dynasty was actually a member of the imperial court and the leader of the Xiang army. It's bloody.

But think about it, the beggar gang in that period went directly to the enemy country to collect military intelligence. If they didn't have an official background, they wouldn't dare to do those things. Besides, in the world at that time, only their beggar gang dared to swagger. If others dare to do this, please refer to Water Margin. The heroes in the rivers and lakes will tell you what the court will do. At that time, you only need to move Huizong to Zhezong or Shenzong. The army beat Xixia called mother, if there were no treacherous ministers in the court, Xixia would have disappeared long ago.

And there is another thing that tells everyone who the Beggar Gang is, that is, Wu Changfeng, one of the six elders of the Beggar Gang in the Tianlong period, won a gold medal for meritorious service. When it is not easy to reward meritorious service, I will give you such a gold medal. To put it bluntly, you can’t say that you have meritorious service, so I will give you a gold medal and keep it. This kind of thing is used internally to offset crimes. impenetrable.

"Well, Aiqing knows it well, and I know it too, but you are old, and it's time to enjoy the blessings. You should give this secret position away. You must know that there is no one who dies well in this position. Back then If you hadn't protected me for a year when I ascended the throne, I don't know where my bones are."

Thinking of the bloody storm during the time when he came to the throne, Zhao Yun couldn't help fighting a cold war. During that time, there were people dying every day in the palace, the people who abolished the prince Zhao Mian, the traitor Shi Miyuan, and the second queen of the late emperor. Yang Guizhi, the three of them kept fighting for the throne. During that time, Zhao Yun had to sleep with one eye open at night, otherwise someone might touch his neck. Stay in the palace to guard him, he would have died long ago.

When Zhao Yun came to power, he was not a serious prince. He was the tenth grandson of Zhao Kuangyin's son Zhao Dezhao. The throne had nothing to do with him. Looking far away for a well-behaved clan to inherit the throne of King Yi.

Shi Miyuan handed over this task to his staff member Yu Tianxi.Yu Tianxi was passing through Shaoxing and encountered heavy rain, so he took shelter at the house of Chief Quan Bao, so he met brothers Zhao and Ju.Yu Tianxi knew that they belonged to the Zhao clan, and felt that the two brothers behaved well, and thought they were suitable candidates to succeed King Yi, so he recommended them to Shi Miyuan.Shi Miyuan took the two brothers to Lin'an to consider for himself, and also believed that his elder brothers Zhao and Ju were suitable candidates to succeed King Yi. Therefore, in the 14th year of Jiading, Zhao and Ju were selected into the palace, renamed Zhao Guicheng, and inherited the throne of King Yi.

After Ningzong's death, Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang changed the suicide note and abolished the prince Zhao Mian, making him emperor.
