Chapter 682 Filial Piety

Zhao Gou was spraying his emotions recklessly, just like taking Zhao Tan as a trash can for emotions.

Zhao Tan knelt on the ground and shivered, his face pale.

He never dared to imagine that one day he could hear this from Zhao Gou's mouth, and he was even a little worried that Zhao Gou would kill him after that.

Because he was the only one who heard this.

But he thought too much, Zhao Gou didn't want to kill him, he was the heir chosen by Zhao Gou, the guarantee of his old age, and the tool who took over after quelling the anger and resentment of the people.

If he died, the Zhao family would be in danger.

Zhao Gou simply wanted to talk.

At the end of the day, Zhao Gou seemed to find himself talking a little too much, but on second thought, he had nothing to hide in front of the heir.

This is the inheritance of the emperor, a secret that only two people can know, and it will never be known to outsiders, never.

"Do you now understand what is emperor and what is emperor?"

Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Tan, whose face was pale and trembling.

Zhao Tan raised his head agitatedly and looked at Zhao Gou with a calm expression.

"Chen...I know."

"Well, so, it's not worth my cultivation of you."

Zhao Gou nodded, and then let out a long sigh.

"You can rest assured. With me, the abdicating emperor who bears the guilt, there will be no objection to you as an emperor. The whole country of the Song Dynasty will also celebrate the appearance of a new emperor. Your appearance and my abdication will It will make the transition of the Song Dynasty smoothly."

I don't know if it's yin and yang anger or sincerity, or a combination of the two. Zhao Tan's mood, which was not disturbed at first, is now even more disturbed.

He realized that in this deep palace, he had no foundation.

Although he became the crown prince, apart from Shi Hao's explicit support for him, his only reliance was Zhao Gou.

It's just that Shi Hao himself is a light-hearted person, he has no power, and it is impossible to support his status as an emperor, so his backer is Zhao Gou.

One word from Zhao Gou can make him emperor, and one word can make him doom forever.

Just like the "good brother" who lost power in the princely competition.

At the critical moment, Zhao Tan thought of what Shi Hao had said to him before, so he immediately knelt down on the ground, his forehead touched the ground, and he burst into tears.

"I have today, thanks to His Majesty's support. Without His Majesty, how could the Majesty have the majesty of the Crown Prince today? His Majesty taught and nurtured the minister carefully, and the minister kept it in his heart and dared not forget it. How dare His Majesty take responsibility for the minister?
Your Majesty, whenever there is a need, the minister will never regret it. With his mere body, if he can clear the troubles for His Majesty and remove obstacles for His Majesty to rule the world, the minister should not hesitate to do so, let His Majesty drive, the minister will never regret it. ! "

Zhao Tan kowtowed while crying, his posture was extremely low, and his emotions were sincere. Zhao Gou, who was sitting on the throne, was intertwined with suspicion and emotion.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Goucai had to admit that he had found a qualified and filial heir.

Under the oppression of the Ming Dynasty, he has no political future, but he is still alive, he is not dead, and he still has life to live.

Therefore, he needs a filial, obedient, and grateful heir to be the emperor, so as to ensure his respected status as the Supreme Emperor.

The Emperor Taishang also needs a grateful emperor to ensure a healthy life. If the emperor does not know how to be grateful and is a white-eyed wolf, then his life as a Supreme Emperor will definitely not be easy.

In the final analysis, Taishanghuang is no longer an emperor, and can not hold real power in name and cannot issue orders.

Even if he can control the government for a while, he can still use the power of the Supreme Emperor to suppress the emperor for a while, but if the successor is ambitious and makes use of the emperor's identity, the Taishang Huang has no certainty of winning.

Moreover, after this incident, Zhao Gou was equivalent to dying in the Great Song Dynasty Society, which was even worse than Zhao Guangyi's death in the Army Society. He had to take full responsibility, and there was no possibility of a reset.

His inertia will also be completely broken.

At this moment, Zhao Tan's attitude towards him is very important.

And Zhao Gou's only magic weapon that can check and balance Zhao Tan is the word "filial piety".

Because there is no direct blood relationship between the two, they can even be regarded as strangers, and Zhao Gou single-handedly supported a stranger to be the emperor. If Zhao Tan was not filial to him, he would be punished by the world until the society died. .

Having said that, if Zhao Tan forcibly disobeyed his filial piety, Zhao Gou would also feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, whether Zhao Tan is filial or not, even if it is superficial filial piety, is very important to Zhao Gou, and superficial filial piety can also add a barrier to Zhao Gou's later life.

Now, after some testing, Zhao Gou is sure that Zhao Tan is not a white-eyed wolf, and his later life can be guaranteed.

So he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, walked to Zhao Tan's side, and helped him up.

Seeing how he looked like he couldn't even care to wipe his tears, Gou Zhao let out a long sigh.

"I feel your filial piety. I can have a filial child like you, enough, really enough."

Saying that, Zhao Gou held Zhao Tan's hand.

"This time, I will bear everything for you, and this is the last time I can bear everything for you. In the years to come, you will face the powerful enemy alone, and you will be troubled alone. Now you can't understand me, in the future you will You will understand, you will face the same predicament as me, and then you will understand the pain I am in today."

Zhao Gou said with red eyes.

However, Zhao Tan still did not accept it. He wept bitterly to express his filial piety and loyalty, and was unwilling to accept Zhao Gou's inner meditation. In the end, Zhao Gou pretended to be angry and asked Zhao Tan to agree to him.

"Since you say that you are loyal and filial, why don't you accept what your father asks of you? If you don't accept it, you are disloyal and unfilial! Do you want to be a disloyal and unfilial person!"

For Zhao Gou's words, Zhao Tan had nothing to say.

He could only hold Zhao Gou's hand and kneel beside him, weeping.

What happened next did not exceed Shi Hao's expectations.

Zhao Gou basically determined that there was no hope for the final negotiation, and this battle was bound to be fought, so he decided to send the Lin'an Imperial Army to Zhenjiang House and Jiankang House to assist in the battle to help defend against the Ming army.

Before the forbidden army set off, Zhao Gou decided to review the troops to boost morale.

And this time, he brought Zhao Tan with him.

This is an unprecedented move.

Before that, Zhao Gou at most allowed Zhao Tan to appear in political discussions. It was to let him meet with the ministers, learn to get along with them, and learn to deal with government affairs, but he never let Zhao Tan appear in the government. military occasions.

Military power is the life and death line of the emperor, and it will never be surrendered until the end.

However, this time, he brought Zhao Tan with him, and even introduced the three main generals of the Lin'an Imperial Army, Zhao Mi, Li Peng and Cheng Min, as well as some other senior officers.

Zhao Gou asked these senior officers to greet Zhao Tan, saying that this is the crown prince of our Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Tan was also asked to meet and get to know these senior military officers one by one.

The officers were greatly surprised, but no one dared to say anything. They met Zhao Tan with the homage of monarchs and ministers. Zhao Tan also got to know these generals one by one, remembered their names, and gave them the status of crown princes. 's reward.

In front of Zhao Gou's reward, Zhao Gou has no opinion.

So the senior officers basically understood what the emperor meant.

Then when reviewing the troops, Zhao Gou rode on the horse with the sword of the emperor in hand, and Zhao Gou led Zhao Gou's horse to accompany Zhao Gou around the field to inspect the army, allowing Zhao Tan to show his face in front of the army for the first time.

This unusual move caused a lot of discussion between the army and the court. People were saying whether the emperor had the heart to give in, and whether he planned to give up his throne. Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to take the crown prince to inspect the army?

There is no need to say much about the sensitivity of military power, but any emperor with brains and pursuits will not allow others to touch military power, even the crown prince, before the emperor dies, can not touch military power, otherwise it will be a rebellion.

As the saying goes, if I don't give it, you can't take it.

I gave it, it's yours.

But now, Zhao Gou took the initiative to take Zhao Tan to review the army, get to know the generals, and let Zhao Tan show his presence in front of the army. The political implications of this cannot be more obvious.

Some smart people realized the purpose of Zhao Gou's actions, and realized that Zhao Gou had made some kind of determination.

At the same time, smart people also have a little pre-judgment of this contest between the Song Dynasty and the Ming army.
