The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1045 Can Kill

Zhao Kuangyin thinks this way. Although the Song Dynasty has been established for such a long time, many ministers have become accustomed to the Song Dynasty.

But there are also some people who are uneasy. They don't know how long this big song can last.

The dynasties since the Five Dynasties have been slowly annexed in this way. Maybe the Song Dynasty is quite beautiful now.

When Baobuqi will be annexed by others, many ministers maintain this feeling of indifference towards the new court.

There are still many people who have two minds. They will not do anything when Zhao Kuangyin is there, but now that Zhao Kuangyin is not in Bianjing, this is their happiest moment.

"Not many people knew when I left Beijing, but anyone who is well-informed knows that I am no longer in Bianjing. This is a good time to observe them."

Zhao Kuangyin said proudly.

He found a very bad reason, that is, he wants to rest, and no one is allowed to disturb him.

Remember it was anyone, and then he entered a small room by himself, and the outside was strictly guarded.

It's just that there is no one inside, and no one can go and see, but he also leaked such a small piece of news.

Many well-informed ministers must know that the emperor's absence in the capital is just in line with their appetite.

"Then what exactly do you want to see, and what have you prepared in the capital?" Zhao Xu didn't say anything, but asked Zhao Kuangyin what arrangements he had in the capital.

"I've already arranged the capital city. This time I just want to see a person's movements. He has changed a lot recently. I really don't want him to have any plans, otherwise I don't mind killing relatives righteously."

When Zhao Kuangyin said this, his tone was quite appraised, as if nothing could stop him.

Zhao Xu knew what he was referring to. His third uncle, Zhao Tingmei, must be very proud recently!

Moreover, there is a lot of news about him from Bianjing. He has been cultivating his strength in the court recently.

He has attracted a lot of people, and sometimes even framed a person. As the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he is now more famous than the prime minister.

Zhao Kuangyin also knows this, but I heard what Zhao Kuangyin said just now, no matter who it is, as long as it touches my bottom line, it will be finished.

Zhao Kuangyin had only three brothers (his elder brother died long ago). Zhao Guangyi wanted to take the position of emperor and murdered Zhao Kuangyin, but failed and was exiled to the sea.

Could it be that his third younger brother also has this sign now? If this is the case, Zhao Kuangyin will not be relentless.

"If the third uncle is really like the second uncle, what should you do, and why did you give him the position of Deputy Privy Envoy? Wasn't this your own mistake?"

Zhao Xu doesn't understand, why don't you let Zhao Tingmei be a prince honestly? Is it so troublesome?
Now that you are doing this, isn't it obvious that you are giving him a chance? People will never be satisfied.

When he became a deputy privy envoy, he wanted to be a privy envoy, and when he became a privy envoy, he also wanted to be a prime minister.

After becoming the prime minister, he probably still wants to be the emperor. Why did he frame Zhang Qiong?

"It's not your grandmother. Your grandmother asked me to give him a job. I originally wanted to give him a magistrate, but this magistrate is in charge of a state's government affairs, so he can't be allowed to do it."

It turned out that it was Empress Dowager Du who interceded with the emperor, no wonder Zhao Kuangyin had to think about it.

Zhao Kuangyin is a dutiful son, so he naturally wants to think carefully about his mother's request.

However, what Zhao Kuangyin did was also very right. If he was given a knowledge of the state, if he was really allowed to take office, the people in that state would really be finished.

The deputy privy envoy is a very high position, but it doesn't have much real power. That's because the privy envoy is still there!

Who would have thought that Zhao Tingmei would have emptied the power of the privy envoy, and this young man who usually seemed cowardly and incompetent would have such a means.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin did not expect that Wei Renpu was already old, and he thought that Zhao Kuangyin had arranged for Zhao Tingmei to take over his class!
So he very consciously handed over the power in his hands to Zhao Tingmei, which I'm afraid Lao Zhao didn't expect.

"I also didn't expect things to turn out like this. Originally, I wanted to let him go to the position of deputy privy envoy to let him retreat, so that the Queen Mother wouldn't blame him, but who would have thought that since he had developed into a I can't deal with him rashly, I'm the emperor and I have to silence everyone."

The emperor also has the helplessness of the emperor, and he can't do everything based on his own mood. This is also the helplessness of the emperor.

"Everything he does seems to be good for me and Da Song, and I can't clean him up without a reason, so I have to secretly see what they think."

Zhao Kuangyin's departure was largely for his younger brother, as if he had cast a big net.

Just wait for the fish under the net, whoever can break through the net and come out will be unlucky, let's find Zhao Kuangyin's idea.

"Well, you must know what happened in Bianjing by now. He dared to touch the imperial army. I think grandma wants to be sad this time."

According to the news Zhao Xu got from Bianjing, Zhao Tingmei was very active and arrogant in Bianjing.

Zhao Pu, the prime minister, would not pay attention to him, and he jumped up and down to make friends with people in the imperial army. These are the emperor's taboos.

But now Zhao Tingmei is doing this, he seems to be a prisoner, lawless.

"Your second uncle was almost killed because of the throne. Is he going to go the same way now? Is it true that I dare not kill him?"

Zhao Kuangyin was angry. He was kind to his brothers, but they broke the law and discipline.

Zhao Kuangyin's people sent news that Zhao Tingmei still wanted to be the emperor's younger brother in private.

The prince is still alive and you want to be the emperor's younger brother. What does this mean? Do you want me to abolish your nephew?
Zhao Kuangyin was disappointed. Is a throne really so attractive? Because of this, his second brother could no longer appear in front of people. Now the third brother also wanted to follow his second brother's path.

Since you are like this, I will fulfill you. My Song Dynasty cannot have brothers and sons fighting for the throne like other dynasties.

"Set up the ancestral precepts. Anyone who spy on the throne will be expelled from my Zhao clan. After returning, write this into the Zhao clan's genealogy. Since you started to implement it, you can kill a few people to stand up for the future. I will not be soft, even my brothers are no exception."

"If your brothers compete with you for the throne in the future, you can use the Song Dynasty's criminal law to deal with them. This is the will left by me."

What Zhao Kuangyin did seems to be killing relatives righteously, being unkind and cold-blooded, but in fact it was for his foundation in the Song Dynasty, and for the least occurrence of relatives killing each other in the future.

Sometimes it is possible to kill a few people for a big event? This is what Zhao Kuangyin meant.
