Qin Hui? Is this person Qin Hui?
Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and saw that Qin Hui's appearance was good, and he was also acting very brave at this moment. He had read out the imperial edict to make him King of Qin, but he still dared to stand up and object.
But I don’t know if he really has such courage or if there is someone behind him to support him.
Qin Hui saluted the Emperor Daojun and said: "Officials, I think that the matter of Jin Feng is inappropriate. The King of Qi acted arrogantly and showed no discipline. A few days ago, people were killed. He deserves to be punished."
Zhao Tong sneered when he heard this. If he really opposed giving him the title of Jin, forget it. He didn't want to be the King of Qin anyway, but he actually said that he would be punished. This was a bit embarrassing.
Emperor Daojun said calmly: "The King of Qi recovered Huaixi and wiped out Wang Qing. His great achievements are rewarded. Why can't he be promoted to the title? Where does the punishment come from!"
Qin Hui said: "In the official family, the King of Qi has merits, but he also has his faults. The King of Qi made a big fuss in Fanlou, robbed the oiran, bullied the people, and beat people to death. This is a big fault. The merits and demerits may not be lower, I am. I thought it was too much for King Qi to beat someone to death, so he should be punished!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Tong's mouth. The merits and demerits should not be underestimated. The great achievement of recovering Huaixi was actually not as good as the fault of Fan Lou. What a good statement!
Emperor Daojun wanted to first use the opposition of his ministers to suppress himself, and then try his best to override the opinions of others and forcefully move the king, piling all the contradictions on him.
In this way, he may find it difficult to move forward even if he has no place to stand in the court.
And this Qin Hui should be just the beginning. After that, many people may rise up to oppose him to lose his face and weaken his momentum.
In the end, Emperor Daojun turned his hands into clouds and turned into rain, suppressing them with all his strength, demonstrating Qian Gang's dictatorship and paving the way for the subsequent reform and establishment of a prince.
Emperor Daojun is not cruel in doing this, but he can't sit still. Since Emperor Daojun intends to make people oppose him and suppress it, then he will stop thinking about Emperor Daojun!
After Zhao Tong walked out of the case, Emperor Daojun in front of him was about to reject what Qin Hui said, when he suddenly saw him coming out, and he couldn't help but be surprised on his face.
Zhao Tong went to the center of the hall and bowed, and then said: "I thank you for your kindness, and thank you for your grace. Long live the official family!"
His loud voice immediately resounded throughout the hall, and all the officials in the hall couldn't help but be stunned.
Why is this a direct thank you?
There seems to be something wrong with this, right? Some people objected to making you King of Qin, but the official didn't reply yet, so why did you just thank him directly?
This seems more polite, right? Many ministers felt that Zhao Tong was a little too polite, but in this situation, they searched their hearts and minds but could not find any examples or words to refute, and they looked at each other for a while.
Emperor Daojun opened his mouth above, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
He looked at Zhao Tong and saw a happy expression on his face, as if he had not heard what Qin Hui, the imperial censor, said just now.
Emperor Daojun frowned, didn't this completely disrupt his plan?
Zhao Tong suddenly turned around and went straight to the end of the case. At this time, his expression turned cold, and he walked straight to Qin Hui's case and looked Qin Hui up and down.
Qin Hui was on the right track in the imperial examination, came second in the exams, and was considered a talented person. Otherwise, a big family like the Wang family would not have betrothed their daughter to him.
He did not show the slightest panic at this moment. Instead, he looked at Zhao Tong with steady eyes and said, "Is there something wrong, Your Highness, King Qi?"
Zhao Tong looked at him and sneered: "You know your crime!"
Qin Hui said: "I don't know what the crime is, so I asked the King of Qi to come and inquire about it."
Zhao Tong pointed at Qin Hui's nose and suddenly shouted: "You dare to interfere in the royal family affairs, and you don't know the crime!"
"Royal family affairs?" Qin Hui was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression changed.
Prince is a title. There are two types of titles in this dynasty, one is for the clan and the other is for the ministers.
The ennoblement of the clan does not need to be discussed in the court. This is an internal matter of the royal family. The emperor only needs to issue an order to Zhongshu, then notify the officials at the court, and then announce it to the world. That's it.
As for the matter of moving to a noble title, it is even simpler. It is also a matter of the next edict, and even the emperor does not need to come forward to talk about it.
At this moment, Zhao Tong's move to a new title would normally not be such a hassle. Emperor Daojun could just issue the decree directly, and there was no need to go out of his way to emphasize it.
But the problem is that Zhao Tong has a job and he has an official position in the court.
Promote the bodyguards to the military department!
This official position is of high rank and has great power, so the title of King of Qin cannot help but confuse people's imagination with the title of king and his official position.
If he does not enter the court, does not have any official duties, and is just an idle prince who spends his days eating, drinking, having fun, and having sex, then no one will care about his title, let alone his title transfer, and no one will care about him.
Almost all the ministers in the palace had this idea. They put his official position and title together. He was in charge of the army and horses, and he was also named King of Qin. This seemed inappropriate. We must oppose it. We must oppose it!
But the royal title of the clan is an internal matter of the royal family and does not involve the court or the military. Officials have no reason or right to interfere with and oppose it. As Zhao Tong said, doing so is meddling in the affairs of the royal family. .
According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, it is a serious crime to interfere in the affairs of the royal family unless the emperor allows it.
But how could the emperor allow officials to interfere in his own family affairs?
At least for now, Emperor Daojun didn't say anything like this. He just asked the eunuchs to read out the imperial edict, and then said that the king of Qi would be moved to the throne of Qin.
The sweat on Qin Hui's forehead fell. He had never thought about it. In fact, it was difficult for anyone to think of it. After all, Zhao Tong was not only a court official, but also led troops to fight just before.
Who can think about the royal family affairs? Everyone regarded him as a courtier. Even Daojun and Emperor made all kinds of calculations and ignored this.
Zhao Tong stared at Qin Hui: "Qin Hui, do you know your crime?"
Qin Hui no longer had the composure he had just now, and there was a trace of panic in his expression. He said hurriedly: "King Qi, you made a big fuss in Fanlou, robbed the oiran, and beat the people, but it was true. The lower officials also heard that the oiran... "
Zhao Tong sneered and interrupted him: "Have I asked you this? I don't need you to make irresponsible remarks on how I act. Who do you think you are!"
Qin Hui's eyes flickered as he looked around, and saw all the eyes of the palace gathered here. He gritted his teeth and said, "Although I am just a small censor, I am dedicated to my country and loyal to my family. King Qi, please don't... …”
Before he could finish his words, he saw a punch coming towards him!
The punch hit Qin Hui directly in the face, causing him to scream "ouch" and fall backwards!
Then Zhao Tong lifted up the hem of his clothes, tucked into the jade belt around his waist, and then jumped over the table with a bang. When he saw Qin Hui lying on the ground covering his face, he raised his foot and kicked him away.
"You bastard, you dare to interfere with royal matters!"
"You bitch, you actually dare to slander me!"
"Could it be that you received money from others and were ordered to come here to slander me?"
"This king has the most grievances with the Liao Kingdom. I'm afraid you are not a spy sent by the Liao Kingdom!"
Zhao Tong kicked Qin Hui until he was rolling on the ground, bleeding from his nose and mouth, and kept screaming for a while.
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded. They had never seen such a situation before, even if they had never heard of it.
The Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts, advocating manners and grace, and the scholar-bureaucrats paid even more attention to their words and deeds. They had a lot of contempt for martial men and reckless men. How could they do such a thing.
At this moment, all the ministers lost their color and their hearts were in a turmoil. They did not expect that Zhao Tong would use such brutal methods.
Although the ministers were angry and dissatisfied, no one said anything. King Qi was cruel, who dared to step forward? Even the imperial guards surrounding the area didn't say a word, as if they were watching a show.
Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai were also dumbfounded. Zhao Huan saw them for the first time and said in shock: "Second brother, this is..."
But this was not the first time Zhao Kai had suffered. The last time Zhao Kai broke into his house and killed someone, he was still fresh in his memory. He couldn't help but show a look of panic: "Here it comes again, here it comes again. The second brother just likes to do things, and there is no trace of it at all." Gentlemanly manner!”
Emperor Daojun sat on it, his face extremely ugly, and he couldn't figure out how this matter turned out to be like this.
The second brother seems to be right. This move to the king's title is a family matter of the royal family. How come he has forgotten this?
It's just that even if the minister is at fault, you can't take action directly. Although it is not a Jinluan court meeting at this moment, it is still a celebration banquet. How is it appropriate to punch and kick a palace official? !
The most important thing is that the second son made such a fuss, which disrupted all his plans. All the ministers were opposed, the officials were arbitrary, and they were paving the way for changing the prince in the future.
None of this can be carried out anymore!
Emperor Daojun's face turned completely dark, and he was shaking with anger. He slammed the table: "King Qi!"
When Zhao Tong heard this, he looked back and kicked Qin Hui under the table.
"Officials, this Qin Hui is so rebellious and dares to interfere with the affairs of the royal family. I think he must be a spy of the Liao Kingdom, so I ask the officials to punish him!"
"You, you..." Emperor Daojun felt dizzy, and he didn't know whether he drank too much or was angry. He said angrily: "Come here, King Qi is drunk, let me carry him back to the house! "
"Guanjia, I'm not drunk!" Zhao Tong said, shaking the arm holding the splint.
Emperor Daojun was so angry that he slapped the case again: "The king of Qi has lost his etiquette in the palace and is rude and troublesome. He shuts himself up and thinks about it for a month. He will be fined for a year. If you don't take him out as soon as possible."
The Imperial Guards in the palace hurriedly came to Zhao Tong and whispered: "Your Majesty, the officials are furious, so we should go back to the palace..."
Zhao Tong glanced at the ministers in the palace, but no one dared to look at him. He muttered: "I have no money in the first place, and I have to pay a year's salary as a fine..."
Emperor Daojun said angrily: "Get out, get out quickly!"
Zhao Tong touched his chin, and the imperial guard beside him said in a panic: "Your Majesty, let's go quickly."
He shook his head and slowly walked out of the hall, and then heard the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground...
The celebration banquet broke up unhappy, and the officials went home tremblingly.
After arriving home, I calmed down for a while, and then my wife or concubine came to wait on me. The one who didn't keep his mouth shut, and who usually liked to gossip, told the story of the banquet in a more exaggerated way.
The wife of the family and the concubine were stunned to hear this, and then everyone in the house knew about it, and then it continued to spread to the outside world. Within a few days, this matter became a topic of conversation in Tokyo, even in the military camp.
From then on, the officials knew that Zhao Tao was domineering. Although they were angry, they had nothing to do. They just thought in their hearts that they should not be stupid like Qin Hui and argue with him. This man was not only good at poetry, he was also good at poetry. He also led a large army to the battlefield and killed countless thieves. He was not only the most romantic and talented man in the Song Dynasty, but also the best among the princes in terms of arrogance and cruelty.
Ordinary people in the city don't think so. Although people in Tokyo live a decent life, there are too many big and small officials in Kaifeng, countless yamen, and countless relatives. Ordinary people will inevitably be bullied by power. When the turban comes, it is no longer like the Renzong and Shenzong dynasties who praised each other. They just say that they fought well. If the two kings fight, it will never be wrong. It must be a traitor.
As for the move of Zhao Tong to the title of King of Qin, it has been settled. No one objects or mentions it anymore. They don't care about the emperor's family affairs. They are laborious and annoying, and their hard work is not thankless.
The ministers are not stupid, they all understand in their hearts. Not to mention that the system of this dynasty is different from that of Li and Tang, and it is difficult for something like Xuanwu Sect to happen. Even if it does happen, it will only be a replacement of the chair above, so what do they do? It’s not the time to be an official, to get rich, to admire the moonlight in the garden, to drink Tokyo wine, how can it become the same?
There has to be someone to govern the world. No matter who makes the chair, they will not be driven home, let alone beheaded. They are very clear-minded.
But he said that Zhao Kai returned home that day, because the celebration banquet had been held early. When he returned, the first month was rising, and he stumbled into the middle hall, his expression gloomy and angry.
Zhao Tong was awarded the title of King of Qin. He was unhappy and drank too much. Zhao Tong was domineering and disrupted the celebration banquet by beating people. In shock and anger, he threw and beat him and started playing tricks in the hall.
When I was tired from playing, and most of my alcoholism had dissipated, I was sitting on a chair drinking tea when suddenly the sound of laughter came from outside and came this way.
He was in a bad mood and felt extremely harsh when hearing these sounds, so he would frown and scold them.
At this moment, those voices came to the door. It turned out to be the maid from the back house, who came with two wives to announce the good news.
The eldest maid said: "The three great kings are happy. The princess has given birth to a prince. She is here to announce the good news."
Zhao Kai sat in the chair and was stunned for a moment. Although the princess was pregnant for a long time, Po Wen said it would take a few more days, but her calculation was wrong, and she actually gave birth today.
Zhao Kai's current princess was named Xiang. She died in the later years of Xuanhe, and was later succeeded by a princess named Zhu Fengying, who was the biological sister of the crown prince Zhao Huan's concubine Zhu Lian.
At this time, he had a princess, three concubines, and more than a dozen concubines who had no concubines. However, the only one who gave birth to children was the concubine herself. The year before last, she had given birth to her eldest son, Zhao Tailang, and now she had given birth to a second son.
Zhao Kai couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the eldest maid's words. After all, no matter which dynasty or generation, for the royal family, the prosperity of future generations was the most important, and the more men, the better.
But he was not happy for a few breaths, and suddenly his face turned gloomy again and said: "Second son?"
The eldest maid said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Princess has given birth to her second son."
Zhao Kai asked again: "Second child?"
The eldest maid saw that his face was not good and she did not dare to say anything, so she said: "It's the second prince."
Zhao Kai stood up from the chair with a leap, and after spinning around on the ground a few times, he said: "Since you are the second child, let's name him Zhao Heilang!"
The eldest maid was stunned when she heard this, and after saying "Ah" she said: "Your Majesty, isn't it...won't it take three months to give me a name?"
Zhao Kai glanced at her after hearing this: "Get up as soon as you get up. If it's the 100th day of March, call it Zhao Heilang!"
The eldest maid didn't dare to say anything, but she just thought to herself, why did she call her "Hero"? I see that the second prince is fair and tender, and there is nothing dark about him. Why did he get such a name? Could it be that the prince was drunk and talking nonsense?
According to records such as "Three Dynasties Beimeng Huibian", "Kaifeng Mansion" and "Song Prisoners' Records", before Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was captured and went north, he had five sons. They were Zhao Tailang, Zhao Heilang, Zhao Jinlang, Zhao Yulang and Zhao Baolang according to age.
Hei Lang was not favored, so he was adopted as his son by King Yi Zhao Pu.
The genealogy of King Yun's lineage is clear and error-free.
More than ten days later, Emperor Daojun issued an edict, appointing King Yun Zhao Kai as the envoy of Xuanfu and Economic Envoys of Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road. Wu is a general, and he is accompanied by twenty lieutenants.
He commanded the three armies of the Dianqian Division, Jingxi South Road, Jingxi North Road, and the Jinxiang Township under his jurisdiction, with 100,000 people, and then joined forces with the two armies from Hebei Province, with a total of nearly 130,000 people, to conquer Tian Hu!
