The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 324

In the early court, before the Shangyuan Festival, when all the officials were still on vacation, Zhao Kuangyin held an early court.

In the early court, Liu Wei proposed to go to Chang'an, and explained the reasons. After saying this, although all the officials had their own opposition and support, they still reached an agreement under the operation of Zhao Kuangyin.

In addition to this position, Zhao Kuangyin also announced that he would take Jin Wang and Wei Wang with him, while the prince Zhao Dezhao stayed in the capital and temporarily supervised the country.

This was the only way Zhao Kuangyin could think of. Since he didn't want King Jin and King Wei to supervise the country, he could only let them go to Chang'an with him.

Liu Wei had objected to Zhao Kuangyin's order, but his objection was obviously invalid. Zhao Kuangyin was determined to pass on the throne to his son.

As the morning receded, there was light snow again in the capital.

After King Jin returned to the mansion, he told Su another about what had happened early, and he was a little annoyed after he finished speaking: "It seems that the emperor is going to pass the throne to his son Zhao Dezhao, and he wants to wait for his death. It is a bit difficult to ascend the throne smoothly."

Su Tiaokan nodded: "What the prince said is very true, so we must be prepared to force the palace when necessary."

The word "force the palace" looks even colder in the cold snowy day, King Jin showed a sneer, and said, "How did the imperial army buy it?"

"Don't worry, half of the Holy Majesty's forbidden army has already been bought by us. As long as the prince wants to make trouble, most of them will succeed."

"Okay, but don't rush, timing is very important."

Su Another looked and nodded, and at this time, King Jin said again: "Why do you think Brother Huang suddenly wants to go to Chang'an?" Zhao Kuangyin's idea.

Su looked at it for a moment and said, "Chang'an is the ancient capital of the Tang Dynasty. There are many aristocratic families there. Many of them still have a heart for the Tang Dynasty. The reasons Liu Wei said today are indeed reasons, but the subordinates feel that this It's not the Holy One's original intention, as for the specifics, the subordinates don't know."

What Su read was almost nonsense, King Jin frowned slightly: "Something must have happened, otherwise the Holy Majesty would not suddenly want to go to Chang'an, sir, send our people to inquire carefully, we must inquire clearly."

"Yes!"

Wei Wangfu.

King Wei was very angry. He didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyin's desire for his son to inherit the throne had been so clearly revealed.

In this way, how can he still have a chance to ascend to the throne?
Chen Qing, who had a broken arm, seemed calm, and said: "Why should you be so anxious, there is always a solution to everything."

King Wei snorted coldly: "I'm afraid King Jin won't be able to calm down now, I wonder if he will make a move?"

"The prince wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

"Isn't it possible? If King Jin makes a move, we'll kill him from behind."

Chen Qing shook his head: "No, if Jin Wang makes a move, then he must not make a move, and if he makes a move, he will definitely win the throne. At that time, it will be a bit difficult for you to compete with him for the throne. To put it in a bad way, Our sage is good at martial arts, and the city also has them, but in terms of cunning and scheming, he is still not the opponent of King Jin."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Before King Jin makes a move, the prince will take the initiative to seize the throne."

King Wei was in a state of mind, although he had this intention for a long time, but he was still a little uneasy when he thought that he was going to do something.

"Can I take action on this trip to Chang'an?"

Chen Qing shook his head: "This trip to Chang'an is accompanied by King Jin, and Liu Wei is with him. Chang'an is not the territory of the prince. If you want to fight there, there are too many restrictions. In fact, the best time to do it is during a war, so the prince You should persuade the holy majesty to drive you personally."

King Wei nodded. He felt that what Chen Qing said was right, and after saying this, he asked a little puzzled, "What is your Majesty thinking about going to Chang'an all of a sudden?"

"Maybe it's to provide opportunities for Zhao Dezhao, maybe there are other plans, but you don't have to worry about it, as long as you follow the Holy Majesty, you can adapt to the situation."
-
The news that the Holy Majesty was coming to Chang'an spread quickly.

This news is nothing to the people in the capital city, but it is very different to the people in Chang'an City.

For those ordinary people, they are naturally extremely welcome. Since the late Tang Dynasty, these common people have lived a life of ups and downs. It was not until the founding of the Song Dynasty that they finally settled down and gradually became rich. They admire them very much. of the Holy One.

But for other nobles, it is very bad.

The Tang Dynasty gave preferential treatment to the nobles, but after the founding of the Song Dynasty, those nobles were suppressed, and the imperial examinations also required those nobles to take the same fair exams as the poor, which was tantamount to depriving them of their power.

Although they did not dare to oppose the Song Dynasty, they had some complaints.

They were even afraid that one day, the Song Dynasty would ban them, the ancient nobles.

The two largest nobles in Chang'an City are the Li family and the Wu family.

The head of the Li family is Li Kai, and the head of the Wu family is Wu San. The two big families have fought in Chang'an City for several generations, but they have never won. Unanimously worried.

The Li family has a lot of shops in Chang'an City, so Li Kai quickly ordered those shop assistants to be quiet and not to do things that people can handle.

The Wu family has a lot of land in Chang'an City, and they have many tenants under their command, so he warned those tenants not to make trouble in the recent period, or they will bear the consequences and so on.

Apart from that, both of them went to the mansion of Lin Zegang, the prefect of Chang'an, to inquire about the situation. The sage is here, how can the sage be happy, and how can the sage not find out what he did in Chang'an City.

In Chang'an City, all forces suddenly moved.

Somewhere in Chang'an.

A man in white showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said to the man in black opposite him: "Zhao Kuangyin's trip to Chang'an is the best chance for us dark people to assassinate him."

The man in black nodded: "Brother Bai is right, we must avenge the Lord."

"It's just that although Zhao Kuangyin has come to Chang'an, he must be surrounded by masters at all times. It is not easy for us to assassinate him. Brother Hei has a good plan?"

The man in black pondered for a moment, and said: "It is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to come to Chang'an for no reason. He must have something to do when he comes to Chang'an. As long as we find out the purpose of his coming to Chang'an, we can think of a way to deal with him, don't you think?"

The man in white thought for a while, and said: "Brother Hei is right, for the sake of the Lord, we must kill Zhao Kuangyin, otherwise we will have no chance in our lifetime when he returns to Bianjing."
-
Beijing.

After the Lantern Festival, the weather is getting warmer day by day, the ice on the moat has gradually melted, and the willow branches have sprouted new buds.

The time for Zhao Kuangyin to go to Chang'an is getting closer, but both King Jin and King Wei are not idle.

They want to accompany them to Chang'an, so the capital side must make proper arrangements, otherwise what will happen to their people if something goes wrong when they leave?I'm afraid that King Wu Zhao Dezhao will find an opportunity to eradicate their people in the court one by one, right?
If their power in the court is weakened because of this, it would be bad.

And they believed that King Wu Zhao Dezhao definitely had such an ambition to remove their influence in the court.

Fortunately, the king of Wei said that his man Xue Ju was staying in the capital. Xue Ju happened to be a political advisor. Not necessarily his opponent.

The key point is King Jin. King Jin is not weak in the court, but Liu Wei is the only chancellor, but Liu Wei needs to go to Chang'an with them. As a result, none of their people is enough to lead.

It is not a good thing for them to have no one sitting in town.

So Jin Wang looked very sad.

After thinking about it for a while, Su finally said to the King of Jin, "Your Majesty, don't worry. In fact, it's very easy to preserve our strength."

"Oh, tell me, sir."

Su Another glanced and nodded, and said: "Actually, I want to prevent King Wu Zhao Dezhao from weakening our power while the prince is not in the capital. Why don't you think of a way to find trouble for King Wu Zhao Dezhao? Trouble, and if Zhao Dezhao doesn't handle the trouble well, it just happens that his ability is insufficient. I see that although His Majesty wants to make his son the emperor, he will not hand over the great rivers and mountains to someone who is not strong enough to take on the heavy responsibility. For the prince, it is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."

"Finding trouble for King Wu Zhao Dezhao?" King Jin was overjoyed when he heard Su Tong's method. He felt that his thinking was really limited, and he only cared about avoiding the trouble others caused him, forgetting that he could also be a cause for others. looking for trouble.

Su Another looked and nodded: "Exactly. For example, after the beginning of spring, the Ministry of Officials will evaluate the achievements of officials in various states and counties across the country. With the temperament of King Wu Zhao Dezhao, he will definitely take this opportunity to accumulate strength for himself. It is inevitable that there are good and bad people, and the prince can send someone to impeach him. Wouldn't this cause trouble for King Wu Zhao Dezhao? Moreover, King Wu Zhao Dezhao is still accused of favoritism."

When Su Tong saw what he said, the King of Jin immediately understood, and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful, but unfortunately, the method that the master thought of will benefit King Wei. We have helped ourselves, and we have also helped King Wei."

Su Another looked at it and smiled, and said: "My lord, don't worry, King Wei is definitely not a stupid person, how can he not know the intentions of King Wu Zhao Dezhao, he must have thought of a way to deal with King Zhao Dezhao, Lord and King Wei this time We might as well cooperate once, if we can dispel the idea of ​​the Holy Majesty making his own son the crown prince, it will be a great thing for the prince."
