Song Gexing

Chapter 287 Compromise with each other
Zhao Fang still underestimated the impact of this matter. Although after investigation, it was found that Chen Ruixi and Li Jianxi were not related as mother and daughter, but they were mother and daughter in name.

What happened in the palace could not be kept secret for long, and it was not long before the outer court found out. Zhao Fang was sprayed with blood on his head, and some people even called him shameless.

And being given a last-minute finishing touch pushed him to the forefront.

It turned out that the second prince from the Seljuk Empire entered the Imperial College to study. When the Imperial College students denounced Zhao Fang, he tried his best to defend Zhao Fang.

It is said that this kind of thing is normal in the Seljuk Empire, and their old rival Byzantium has a more chaotic relationship than this.

He was really aggrieved for Zhao Fang, not to add fuel to the fire, but the problem was that although he had studied the culture of the Central Plains, he had never lived in this environment, and he did not understand the distance between books and reality.

Just like later generations of college students who have never been abroad, they are proficient in English, but in fact they have no idea what the world is like in the West.

Think about how information is so developed in later generations, and information circulation can be reached almost instantly, but there are still many people who don't understand the outside world at all, let alone this is the Song Dynasty.

However, he was still of great help, because his supportive remarks angered many Tai students and almost resulted in being beaten by the crowd.

Zhao Fang took the opportunity to raise the big hat that he should not bully the subjects of the country, and dispatched the imperial army to forcefully suppress the raging public opinion. Only then did people suddenly realize that something was wrong.

Because the emperor's prestige in the army is so high that no one can control it, even if you have a way to abolish the emperor, you dare not do it.

This is the difference between civil and military officials. Civil servants will insist on morality and chatter endlessly, but military generals just say a few words, but in fact they don't care about such nonsense at all.

At this time, even Han Qi and others were worried. They were afraid that Zhao Fang would break the jar and simply become an emperor with no soldiers. Anyway, the army now listened to him.

Even the order issued by the Privy Council for the imperial army to withdraw from Taixue was thrown aside by the leading generals, bluntly saying that they would not listen to anyone except the emperor's order.

Cao Yi, who had a headache, went to the palace in person to persuade Zhao Fang to withdraw his troops, while Yu Zuo rushed to Taixue in person to persuade the soldiers to obey the order.

But these soldiers under the pro-military Governor's Mansion asked him, didn't you, the Governor, say that you must be absolutely loyal to the emperor?

Yu Zuo's liver hurt from being pushed, so he had no choice but to go back and went to the palace to find Zhao Fang.

Fortunately, Zhao Fang was not a domineering person, so the incident was calmed down. Thinking about it, the current governor of the pro-military governor's mansion is Zhe Jizu, which is Zhao Fang's iron core.

In order for Zhao Fang to voluntarily hand over all the hereditary territory of the Zhe family, there is nothing he dare not do.

The most powerful defense force in Bianjing City is the artillery army. Its commander is Yao Lin and its instructor is Yan Jidao. His subordinates have long been trained to be Zhao Fang's absolute supporters.

In addition, Zhong'e, Zhonghu, Zhongyi, Yaosi and others all have heavy troops, Zhao Fang can do bad things in time, and no one can shake his position.

These people didn't care what he did, they only recognized his love for them. They were typical of helping relatives but not taking care of themselves, which made the courtiers panic.

The day after the incident subsided, all eight ministers of the Cabinet and Privy Council went to the palace to find Zhao Fang. This time they did not criticize him, but persuaded him.

The great truth was told over and over again, and even Cao Yi, who hardly cares about world affairs, tried to persuade him several times.

Zhao Fang had a headache and said helplessly: "Gentlemen, can you please stop telling me, apart from what happened this time, how can I do anything bad? Have you seen me do anything bad in the past few years?"

"no!"

Han Qi answered simply and neatly, but without waiting for him to be happy, he immediately continued: "Since we were young, the official family has indeed not had the problem of being disloyal to the emperor, but if we don't have it now, it doesn't mean we won't have it in the future. I am preparing for a rainy day, and I am not having strict requirements on the official family. "Zhao Fang is very helpless. You have finished saying both good and bad things.

Over there, Ouyang Xiu helped: "Emperor Xin of Zhou Dynasty of Shang Dynasty was also wise and powerful when he ascended the throne. He abolished burials and conquered Dongyi. But later on, he became a tyrant and a coward. From my opinion, he started out by liking beauty."

Without waiting for Zhao Fang to refute, he even gave an example of Tang Minghuang Li Longji, how brilliant the Kaiyuan Dynasty was, but since he doted on Concubine Wu Hui, he became a fatuous monarch.

"Okay, okay, I can't beat you, just admit defeat."

Zhao Fang had no choice but to admit defeat. He could control the army, but he did not want the Song Dynasty to become a country ruled by warriors.

In this way, no matter how strong it is, it will only be temporary, because tyranny will not last long, only kingship can make a country prosperous, and the Chinese people know best the truth that things are easy to break.

Seeing that he lowered his head, Han Qi said gently: "I suggest that neither the Chen family nor the Li family can be canonized, and please your majesty to restore the Zheng family's beauty rank to appease the Zheng family of Goryeo."

Zhao Fang looked at him in embarrassment: "Since Han Shoufu knew what the Zheng family had done, he still interceded for her. Although the Zheng family is influential, Korea can also support other families."

Han Qi calmly handed over his hands and said: "I know, but the Zheng family's foundation in Goryeo is still there, so it should not be touched lightly. Your Majesty needs time even if you want to support others. Besides, the Zheng family is just fighting for favor and has not betrayed the imperial court."

"But she betrayed me!"

Zhao Fang was a little angry, but Han Qi said solemnly: "Your Majesty thinks she betrayed you, but in my eyes, it was just a scandal in the house. She neither hooked up with outsiders nor harmed anyone's life. How can she say she betrayed you? Besides, The ministers have already compromised for His Majesty, and did not allow His Majesty to drive the Chen family and the Li family out of the palace..."

"Come on, you are waiting for me here."

Only then did Zhao Fang understand the reason why they let Chen Ruixi and Li Jianxi off lightly. This was an exchange.

Helpless, he could only say angrily: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Maid Guanyin and Sister Xue'er have always made the decision on matters in the harem..."

Having said this, he stopped and looked at Han Qi. Han Qi nodded and said, "Then I will go to see Concubine Xiao in person and ask for your Majesty's permission."

"See you ass!"

Zhao Fang cursed inwardly but did not dare to open his mouth. Knowing this, it seemed that he had won again. Xiao Guanyin would definitely look at his face and reduce Zheng Suyuan's punishment.

As for Han Xue, she might support him, but after all, they are father and daughter, so they will not insist on it in the end.

Sure enough, he was right. Han Xue disagreed at first, and finally gave up in anger. How could Xiao Guanyin not give him face? Zheng Suyuan was finally punished by being demoted to a talented person.

Chen Ruixi became a female official, and Li Jianxi was assigned to be a female official with Wang Fangji, cutting off the possibility of becoming a concubine.

As for whether pregnancy will be canonized, don't forget that there are contraceptive methods in the palace, although it is not 100%, but there are [-]% to [-]% certainty.

If you can still get pregnant like that, it's God's will. If God's will cannot be violated, there is nothing you can do.

However, Han Qi's words also reminded Zhao Fang that he must speed up his pace of supporting other nobles in Goryeo. The best candidates are of course Kim Sun Hee's family.
