Chapter 986: Regent
Lin'an City changed drastically overnight, and the next morning a total martial law began to be implemented in the city, and groups of troops ran in the city, and the people of the city soon got the news released by the military.
Li Yanqing, the king of Jin, rebelled and attempted to attack Lin'an City, and the palace immediately issued a series of decrees, depriving Li Yanqing of all titles and official positions, demoting him to a commoner, and offering a reward of 100,000 taels of silver for the capture of Li Yanqing.
The government began to seize Baoyanzhai on a large scale, and Li Daqi, the proprietor of Baoyanzhai, had already fled Jiangxia in advance and escaped.
Soon, the second decree came out of the ban, and the Son of Heaven was seriously injured in the rebellion of Li Yanqing and temporarily suspended the court for five days.
In the morning, six Xiangguo Fan Zhixu, Lu Yihao, Gao Shen, Zheng Wangzhi, Fan Zongyin and Zhu Shengfei were invited by Emperor Zhao Ji to the Zhizheng Hall for discussion.
Gao Shen got into Fan Zhixu's carriage and immediately whispered: "There was a palace coup last night!" β
Fan Zhixu said quietly: "Everyone can basically guess this, I heard that Master Cao died of illness last night, Li Yanqing went to Cao's Mansion to mourn, and was almost arrested, is this so?" β
Gao Shen nodded, "The news is true, I heard Cao Yan say that Miao Fu led 15,000 people to surround Cao's Mansion, but Li Yanqing escaped from the tunnel and should have successfully escaped." β
Fan Zhixu sighed softly, "Actually, I just cared about the situation of the official family, if I guessed correctly, the official family has already ........"
Since the other party spread the news that the Son of Heaven was seriously injured, it left a foreshadowing for the next death of the Son of Heaven, Fan Zhixu was extremely sad in his heart, and it was easy to produce a king who could lead the Great Song Dynasty to Zhongxing, and he disappeared so quickly.
Gao Shen was silent for a moment and said, "No matter what the current situation of the official family is?" But the Emperor Taishang never dared to announce the death of the official family, and abdicated a few months later under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries. β
After a pause, Gao Shen said, "There is one more important news I want to tell you." β
"What's the news?"
"In the early hours of this morning, Li Yanqing led the army to defeat the pursuers in Huzhou, and Yang Chu, the deputy commander, was killed."
"How did you know that?"
Gao Shen smiled faintly, "Li Yanqing sent someone to tell me this morning, and he said that he would not return to the northwest. β
Fan Zhixu was thoughtful, it seems that the drama is far from over!
.........
The carriage in which the two rode drove into the palace, and along the way, they saw that the soldiers were like a great enemy, and they saw that all the court houses along the way were searching, but they didn't know what they were searching?
Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu were quite surprised, isn't the coup over yet?
As the carriage slowly passed by a soldier standing guard, Gao Shen suddenly asked him in a low voice, "What happened?" β
The soldiers standing guard looked to both sides, and said in a low voice: "The whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are unknown. β
Although Zhao Gou has not officially held the crown prince ceremony, he has already issued an edict a month ago to crown Zhao Yang as the crown prince, which is the precursor of the crown prince, and the ministers have basically recognized Zhao Yang as the crown prince.
Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu glanced at each other, both of them were deeply shocked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is missing, I'm afraid the Emperor Taishang will not sleep well.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the Zhizheng Hall, Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu got off the carriage and walked directly into the lobby, the other four people had already arrived, everyone sat at the table and was silent, everyone knew that there was a palace coup, it was better to remain silent at this time, so as not to fall from the sky.
Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu didn't speak, the two walked into the lobby and sat down, and the atmosphere in the hall began to become weird.
At this time, Fan Zongyin sighed, "This result is not what I expected. β
The other five people continued to be silent, Fan Zongyin suddenly burst into tears, and his voice choked, "I.... I'm sorry for the officials! β
Lu Yihao said lightly: "There is no point in saying anything now, wait for the result!" β
........
In the side hall of the vertical arch hall, Zhao Ji was furious, pointed at Liu Zhengyan and Zhang Wei and scolded: "A child can't stand it, he is only two years old, he must have been hidden, have you searched me thoroughly?" β
Zhang Wei trembled and said: "Weichen has searched from beginning to end three times, and every corner has been searched, and indeed the child has not been found." β
Liu Zhengyan added: "After investigation, there may be a clue. β
"What clues?"
"I counted the list of all the eunuchs and palace maids, and found that there was a little palace maid missing, who was the personal palace maid next to the official family, called Li Cai'e, she was missing, and the humble duty suspected that the child was taken away by her."
"This palace maid is gone?"
"I don't know for the time being, but the address of her home has been found out, and she is from Yuecheng, Huiji County."
"Send someone to her house to intercept her immediately, and then re-search for me!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Ji suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Have you searched the back mountain?" β
Zhang Wei hesitated a little, "There are only two temples and the Plum Blossom Nunnery in the back mountain, but the humble post has already sent someone to search it." β
Zhao Ji was so shrewd, he immediately saw that Zhang Wei was a little duplicitous, and he immediately said angrily: "Go and search the back mountain immediately, you can't let go of every bush!" β
"Yes!"
The two stumbled away.
Zhao Ji was upset, this coup d'Γ©tat can be said to be only half of the success, Li Yanqing ran away, and the whereabouts of the crown prince Zhao Yang are unknown, but fortunately, he was more cautious and did not announce Zhao Gou's death, otherwise things would be in trouble.
"Your Majesty, the people from the Zhizheng Hall have arrived, why don't you let them go back first and discuss it another day?" Huang Qianshan said cautiously.
"No, just follow the second plan, and make the transition for a few months."
..........
There was still silence in the prefect's hall, and at this time, the guards shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" β
Lu Yihao, Fan Zongyin and Zhu Shengfei hurriedly stood up, Zheng Wangzhi hesitated and also stood up, but Fan Zhixu and Gao Shen did not move at all, and did not seem to hear.
After a moment, Emperor Zhao Ji strode towards the hall, and the four of them hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See His Majesty the Emperor!" β
Zhao Ji nodded, but when he saw Fan Zhixu and Gao Shen sitting there without moving, he was suddenly unhappy in his heart, and glared at the two of them fiercely, "What's wrong with the two ministers?" β
Fan Zhixu got up and said, "Weichen wants to know the situation of the official family, can you ask His Majesty the Emperor to report it." β
"This morning he has issued an order, he is seriously injured and cannot participate in court affairs for the time being."
"Then can we allow Weichen to visit the official's family to relieve Weichen's feelings of thinking about the king."
Zhao Ji still rejected him unceremoniously, "The Son of Heaven is seriously injured and can't see guests, let's talk about it later!" β
Fan Zhixu was silent for a moment, and took out a recital from his arms, "Wechen is old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be qualified for the important position of Xiangguo, this is Wechen's resignation, please transfer it to the official family." β
Zhao Ji didn't agree or refuse, his eyes turned to Gao Shen again, "What does Gao Xianggong have to say?" β
Gao Shen also took out a resignation letter, put it on the table and said: "Master Cao died of illness, I want to help deal with the aftermath, and I can't take care of court affairs for the time being, I think it's better not to affect the operation of the court, and let Xian be better." β
After speaking, Gao Shen also took a deep look at Huang Qianshan behind Zhao Ji.
Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu did not discuss it in advance, but they submitted their resignations together, and the two glanced at each other, quite a little sympathetic.
Zhao Ji's face was very ugly, he wanted to dismiss Fan Zhixu and Gao Shen, and give up his position to Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, but now is not the time, wait for the court to stabilize, and then find fault to remove the two, but the two resigned first, which really made Zhao Ji a little embarrassed.
However, Zhao Ji's embarrassment was only for a moment, whether the resignation of these two people was good, it was convenient for him to lay out his own layout, and he must absolutely control the Zhizheng Hall in the next month, so the resignation of Fan Gao and the others was also in line with his wishes.
Zhao Ji immediately got off the donkey down the slope and said: "Since neither of you is qualified to be the prime minister, I will allow you to resign!" β
Fan Zhixu and Gao Shen saluted everyone, turned around and walked quickly out of the Zhizheng Hall.
At this time, Zhao Ji turned back to Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan and said: "The Zhizheng Hall is indispensable, the two of you will take over for the time being, and wait for a suitable candidate!" β
Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan were overjoyed and bowed down together, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" β
The two of them sat in the phase of Fan Zhixu and Gao Shen, which was set by Zhao Ji in advance, Huang Qianshan was the right minister, and Wang Boyan was the privy envoy, and neither of them had any kind words.
Especially when Huang Qianshan sat on the position of Fan Zhixu's right minister, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the eyes of Lu Yihao, the left minister, it stands to reason that he should take over as the right minister, when will it be Huang Qianshan's turn to take the villain?
But now that Huang Qianshan has ridden on his head, Lu Yihao has to suppress the strong dissatisfaction in his heart and try not to show it on his face.
Zhao Ji waved his hand, "Everyone, please sit down!" β
The six Xiangguo all sat down, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan smiled, the two of them finally realized their wish to enter the phase, especially Huang Qianshan was even more overjoyed, he actually sat in the seat of the right minister, how could he not make his heart flutter.
Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said: "The official family is very seriously injured, and it will be impossible to govern for a long time, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, so I discussed with the official family that during the period of the official family's recuperation, I will temporarily serve as the regent and handle court affairs instead of the Son of Heaven, do you have any opinions?" β
If Li Yanqing is caught, then the death of Zhao Gou will be planted on Li Yanqing's head, and he will re-ascend the throne as emperor in a bright and bright manner.
But he was run away by Li Yanqing, so Zhao Ji decided to maintain Zhao Gou's existence before Li Yanqing was caught, and he became the regent, and when Li Yanqing was killed, he announced the news that Zhao Gou was seriously injured and died before officially ascending the throne, which was Zhao Ji's second plan.
For Zhao Ji, who is eager to re-ascend the throne as emperor, this is just a few months, and he can afford to wait.
