Maybe, in the eyes of those hot-blooded young people who aspire to their families and countries, Zhao Zhen is not a good emperor.

Throughout his life, if he goes to recover Yanyun and looks at it again, he has hardly made an inch.

And the development is insufficient, and the maintenance is more than enough. Even though he has ambitions to eradicate maladministration, he lacks courage and strategy, and is a little hasty.

During his forty-two years of reign, he only preserved the peaceful and prosperous life left to him by Emperor Zhenzong, but did not leave a cheerful situation for future generations.

But....

What makes a good emperor?

For the people and courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, they are not "people of insight" who stand and talk without backache, they either open their mouths and close their mouths or conquer the world, and they are not the descendants who raise their pens and ink to comment on their achievements.

They are living people in the era of Zhao Zhen, who can live a peaceful life, and can have a person in power who knows cold and hot, benevolence and charity....

Better than anything!!

Blood?

Proud?

That's the hypocrisy of an outsider, and it's an ideal country for people of insight, but that's not life.

The people of the plain head and the ministers of the palace, what is the picture? Isn't it just a peace?

And Zhao Zhen...

Did it.

Emperor of the ages, he is not the most heroic one, but he must be the one who is most loved by his courtiers and people.

Hundreds of years later, the Qianlong Lord, who looked at everyone as a "turtle" and looked at everyone who was inferior to himself, only admired three emperors in his life-

Grandfather Kangxi, Tang Taizong, and ...... It is Song Renzong.

What Qianlong admired Zhao Zhen was by no means a great achievement, but no matter how much Qianlong Ye broke it, he would not be able to get Zhao Zhen to be loved by all the people.

......

————————

Zhao Zhen is gone.

Raise the court to mourn, all the people remember!!

As the death knell sounded through Xiaohan, shaking Kaifeng, Xuande downstairs was quiet at first, and the singing and dancing stopped abruptly.

Hearing the voice of the military officials on the city tower: "Congratulations to my emperor ......", the people almost couldn't believe their ears, but the mourning bell rang every hammer in their hearts....

My Emperor.... Let's go!!!

Suddenly, he wailed like a owl and wept like blood.

From the princes and nobles to the beggars and people, all fell to the ground in tears, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians sent the last journey for this eternal emperor.

And all over the city, the people who did not come to Xuande Lou to celebrate the Yuan Festival heard the bad news, and they also rushed to Xuande Lou in a hurry.

In ancient and modern times, apart from the prime minister a thousand years later, who has this honor?

......

——————————

Zhao Zhen...

He walked peacefully, as if he was asleep, with a smile on his lips.

......

"You see??"

Tang Yi squatted beside him, tears falling uncontrollably, but he laughed with the old emperor.

"Everybody's here to see you off."

......

Perhaps, Zhao Zhen heard it, and the smile that froze at the corner of his mouth ......

It seems to be thicker.

......

At this time, Fan Zhongyan was a little uneasy and leaned over.

"Da Lang, you have to be more stable at this time."

"Great Song ...... Keep going! ”

When Tang Yi heard this, Mu Ne's eyes flickered, and then he reluctantly relaxed, "Disciple.... Got it. ”

looked at the teacher, "I still have to bother you to be old, for him...... Write a mourning essay. ”

"Well, don't worry."

After getting the teacher's reply, Tang Yi got up slowly, stood for a long time, and said to Zhao Zhen, who was sleeping: "Let's go back to the palace." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Zhao Zhen's body with his own hands and walked down the city tower.

When passing by the side of the hundred officials, Tang Yi stopped, "I want to guard the spirit of the official family, and the next thing..."

"I'll leave it to you."

......

——————————

This night, Kaifeng sleepless city mourning, just colorful lanterns, now by the people covered with a layer of white cloth.

From the Xuande Building under the imperial city, all the way to the Nanxun Gate, on the ten-mile long street, the people spontaneously mourned the Song Dynasty official.

Piles of paper money were burned along the long street, and there was no end in sight, and there were weepings and sorrows everywhere.

The fire has been endless for several days, and the sky of Kaifeng has been shrouded in the smoke curtain of the people burning money to pay tribute, covering the sky and the sun, and the sky and the earth are not light!

......

But, then again, no amount of grief can stop life from going on. What's more, this is not the life of one family and one surname, but the life of thousands of families, and the life of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if he wants to die of grief, the court can't die, and the change of the old and the new can't be chaotic.

This is the national capital, even if Tang Yi doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit it.

......

————————

The other side.

At this time, Wen Yanbo really understood what it meant: gone, it's gone; Only then did I really understand what Tang Yi's roar meant....

"There is no better emperor than his courtiers to them."

He was sad, and he couldn't tell whether it was the loss of the political struggle or the ...... It's really sad to lose such a good emperor.

He was sad, because no matter how much he regretted it now, no matter how much he behaved like a mourner, it was too late.

The Mad King, that is, the current King of Zhenjiang, Tang Yi, will not let him go.

How could a Wang Jiefu put an end to this dispute, and the anger that that the holy decree brought to that madman?

Tang Yi's auxiliary government means that there is no replacement except for the throne, and the Zhenjiang King is equivalent to winning everything.

After the victory, it is natural to share the fruits of victory, and his fate is mostly the same as Wang Tianzhen, and it ends like this.

This is not only for Tang Yi's anger, but also to make room for many people.

Like what...... Jia Ziming.

Yes, it must be him.

Wen Yanbo already knew the answer, and from Lao Jia's arrogant and empty-eyed eyes, he knew that after this battle, the position of the head of the court would once again return to Lao Jia's hands.

In that look, there was the ease after victory, and there was also the arrogance of contempt for the opponent.

He was sad.

......

However, even if he was sad, thinking of Zhao Zhen's goodness, thinking that the old emperor was still thinking about them until the last moment of his life, and still excusing them, even if he was hard-hearted, he knew the warmth and coldness, not to mention that he was not "not long-hearted".

did not languish like Wang Anshi, and Wen Xianggong didn't even have time to mourn, let alone wipe tears for Zhao Zhen, but planned to stand on the last shift.

Just think of it as ...... An explanation to the emperor, a confession to the past!

......

As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Wen Yanbo was the first to come back from his trance, and immediately read out the edict prepared by Zhao Zhen in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and hundreds of thousands of city residents.

In the Song system, the emperor was buried according to ancient rites, and there were strict procedures and steps.

From 'mourning' to burial, there are strict regulations for each step, and this reading of the edict is the first step of the ritual system.

The crown prince Zhao Shu ascended the throne, and Tang Yi, the king of Zhenjiang, assisted the government......

This is the foundation of the country and the premise of stability, which is very important, and it is more important than giving Zhao Zhen a funeral.

Subsequently, Fan Zhongyan personally sent a letter of condolence to the world.

Wang Deyong, Shi Jinwu, and Wang Shouzhong personally led the forbidden army to patrol the whole city, and there were also generals in the left and right battalions to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Early the next morning.

The crown prince Zhao Shu was witnessed by hundreds of officials and carried out the enthronement ceremony.

Wen Yanbo congratulated the hundred officials on behalf of the table, and the new emperor first entered the Ming Hall to comfort the heaven and earth, and then came to the Daqing Hall to be worshiped by the hundred officials.

After the ceremony was completed, the new emperor officially ascended the throne, the dust settled, and the martial law of Kaifeng was lifted.

Only then will the new emperor edict hundreds of officials and start the funeral ceremony of the first emperor.

......

However, at this point, I got stuck, and I didn't want to continue......

Why??

Because of Tang Yi!!

Zhao Zhen's edict is very clear, giving Tang Yi the prince of Zhenjiang, assisting in national affairs, and ...... Until the end of the day.

In other words, until Tang Yi died, he was a minister who cared for his life, and there was no such thing as returning the emperor;

In other words, what the new emperor Zhao Shu said is not a holy oracle at all, it is for reference only, and it is useless......

And the one who really made the decision was Tang Yi!!

However, Tang Yi specially guarded Zhao Zhen's spirit, today when the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not appear at all.

How do you let everyone have fun?

You must know that the funeral process of the emperor is strictly etiquette.

The first step was to announce the edict, and Wen Yanbo finished it.

The second step was to mourn, and Fan Zhongyan did it.

Then the new emperor ascended the throne, and without him there would be no him.

However, the ...... in the back

To put it in layman's terms, the next step is to set up an agency that specializes in supervising funeral treatment, spiritual command, and mausoleum construction, which is similar to the "funeral committee" in later generations.

That's right, it's a mausoleum institution, and Zhao Zhen doesn't even have a mausoleum yet!

Because the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty is different from that of previous dynasties, in other dynasties, as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he began to build his own mausoleum, and he would repair as many years as he reigned.

However, the Great Song Dynasty began to repair the tomb after the emperor's funeral, counting from the day of his death to the burial, for seven months.

In other words, the time for repairing the tomb is up to seven months.

This is why the imperial tombs of the past dynasties are the most shabby and the worst anti-theft.

......

The first is to treat funerals, and the imperial court is not competent unless a group of capable ministers are selected.

Because in the future, the name of the mausoleum, the name of the emperor, the number of the temple, the mourning of foreign countries, the great collection of uniforms, the gift of relics, and the rewards of the armies, these large and small matters will be agreed upon by the chosen people.

Second, the matter of building a mausoleum is the top priority, and it is even more sloppy.

Generally speaking, the "five constants" who are selected to mourn with Taichang Temple must be ministers who are close to the new emperor.

At the same time as giving the first emperor a funeral, it is also an opportunity to appease the ministers and show the benevolence of the new emperor.

However, who can decide on this candidate? Who can be determined?

Tang Yi is not here, and everyone is blind.

......

Don't forget, the so-called dispute between the princelings and the mad king, although Zhao Zhen was given sex before he died, but now it is Tang Yi who is in power, and a bunch of people are waiting for the autumn queen to settle accounts!!

Not to mention that Wen Yanbo knows that his time is short, the princelings have one end and one end, and they all know that they are grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't jump for a few days.

However, who the Mad King uses and who not uses it is not up to Wen Yanbo to have the final say.

A group of people gathered together with big eyes and small eyes, and they were all confused.

Go and call Tang Yi out?

Who would dare? I can't hide now. Everyone can't wait to be released from Beijing today, and they don't dare to touch that madman's moldy head at this time.

Wen Yanbo really had no choice but to move Wang Deyong.

The old general almost choked Wen Papi with a word, "The old man is a commoner, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

Well, Wen Papi touched the nail and couldn't, so he had to go to Jia Changchao.

The future prime minister, the celebrity next to the Tang madman, he should be fine, right?

Outcome......

When Wen Papi was looking for Lao Jia, this product was arguing with Fu Bi.

"Fuhiko Country!!" Jia Xiangye was obviously not very happy. "The old man told you, it is the time when the Great Song Dynasty is employing people, as soon as you leave, who will help the mad king pick this big beam?"

"So, you can't go, you have to be cheeky and stay in the center!"

Wen Yanbo was confused, what do you mean? Jia Xiangye, is this here to get cheap and sell well? Fu Bi went to Yazhou, didn't he just transfer him back to Beijing?

And Fu Bi didn't quite understand what Jia Ziming meant, "Bi is a sinner, how can he be cheeky and forceful?" Ziming: This is difficult for a strong man. ”

"the fart!!" Lao Jia and Tang Yi have been staying for a long time, and there is no more discipline of a scholar at all. "Others don't know, the old man doesn't know? You just led people to suffer, what kind of pretending to be serious? ”

"Listen to the old man, stay in the capital, Dalang needs you!"

Fu Bi really didn't understand, and said that Jia Xiangye didn't believe in the selfless ghosts. Then he obviously didn't want him to go to Yazhou, what was it for? Brain-broken?

Huh, for what?

Jia Xiangye was in a hurry, because he didn't want to go back to Beijing.

How good is Yazhou? Tang Yi's base camp, the forefront of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is good to eat and live, and it is a mess of corruption.

Lao Jia knows very well that although the capital is the center of power, Yazhou ...... That's the core of the future, so he doesn't want to let Yazhou go back to the capital to be the prime minister.

At this time, Wen Yanbo also came closer, and saw the two of them frozen there, and couldn't help but make the same mistake again.

"Hehe, Yanguo can't see it yet?"

"Brother Ziming, this is a declaration of righteousness, I don't want you to leave, and you will ruin your good name for a lifetime."

Fu Bi frowned, this is obviously a sycophant, and he is also going down the stairs for himself.

However, this step, Fu Bi can't take it.

To Wen Yanbo's surprise, Lao Jia even regarded this "sycophant" as a fart and gave Wen Xianggong a big eyeball.

"Kuanfu, that's not what the old man meant."

"Uh...."

Wen Yanbo's face turned red instantly, he didn't expect Jia Ziming to be so faceless.

However, it is also normal, he is a loser in the eyes of Lao Jia.

Just like many years ago, when I looked at Lao Jia, didn't I feel the same way?

It's just that the reincarnation of heaven is unhappy, and he and Jia Ziming are just changing positions now.

......

With a long sigh, he was sluggish, and he could no longer pretend to be indifferent, and said admittedly: "Yanbo... If you don't say a lot of words, Brother Ziming should not be surprised. ”

This time it was Lao Jia's turn to be embarrassed.

"Alas..."With a long sigh, looking at Wen Yanbo's appearance, he was a little unbearable.

To tell the truth, in this dispute, he Jia Changchao sees it most clearly, whether it is the princeling or the mad king's family, who is right and which is wrong? Who wins?

I really can't tell.

Even he, who doesn't stand on either side and doesn't lose his heart on either side, can't say clearly.

The princelings, the so-called civil servants, have their insistence. Because he Jia Changchao himself is a civil official, he understands the stubbornness of civil officials better than anyone else.

But the generals also have the difficulties of the generals, they have been pressed by the literati for a whole hundred years, and suddenly a character like Tang Zihao appears, how can they let go easily?

On the other hand, do you say Wen Yanbo is unfaithful?

No, his loyalty is no less than anyone else, he just stands in the wrong place, and he doesn't know Tang Yi as thoroughly as the Great Song Dynasty.

Now, Wen Yanbo has put on such an almost humble posture because of his failure, which makes Jia Changchao displeased.

It's not that I don't like Wen Yanbo, but I don't like this feeling.

"Does Kuanfu think that the old man is the winner, and he is about to return to the court?"

Wen Yanbo was stunned, and he didn't know why Lao Jia suddenly mentioned this.

Isn't that obvious, though?

At this time, even Fu Bi thought so.

I heard that Jia Xiangye continued: "That's right, the old man is the winner. ”

"But do you know why the old man won?"

"Or rather, why did the Mad King win?"

"Why?" Wen Yanbo blurted out.

In fact, this is also a question that he is very confused about.

What did Tang Yi say to the first emperor that night? made the first emperor so willing to abandon his previous suspicions and push Tang Yi to the throne?

I saw Lao Jia said indifferently: "Because Tang Zihao and the old man never thought about winning or losing from the beginning." ”

Haven't thought about winning or losing?

Wen Papi said in his heart, on pretending to be 13, you still have a hand. Didn't you think about winning us all?

In fact, Lao Jia didn't say something explicitly, which hurt Wen Yanbo too much.

What Wen Yanbo believes is that those who enter this bureau are seeking this result, and in the final analysis, it is a "benefit" word.

However, only Lao Jia knows that Tang Yi returned to Beijing, and the only thing he had nothing to do... That's the word "profit"!!

"Forget it...."It's not good to say something too clear, let Wen Yanbo realize it himself.

"You'd better go to the King of Zhenjiang and ask yourself."

Wen Yanbo is even more worried, if I can go myself, what will I do when I come to you?

"Yan Bo is here to see the king of Zhenjiang."

Jia Changchao frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"This, King Zhenjiang...... In the wake of the first emperor...... Even the crown prince did not come out on the throne. ”

I saw Jia Chang say casually: "Isn't this right?" ”

"Exactly?" Wen Yanbo smiled bitterly. "Jia Xiangye, don't play Yanbo."

"Next, Zihao will be in charge of the funeral and tomb repair, how can he do it without him?"

"Without him, the court won't turn?" Lao Jia is not polite at all.

"Use whoever should be used, and treat the funeral how you want."

"Such a trivial matter, why let the King of Zhenjiang come out?"

"This...."Wen Yan Boxin said, do you really don't understand, or do you pretend to be confused? ?

"Don't hide it from Ziming..."Since Lao Jia doesn't want to say it clearly, then he can only say it by Wen Yan Boming.

"All the officials in the DPRK and China know that they may have to go in and out one day, and they will have to go out and treat the funeral, but they dare not entrust them with important tasks."

......

"Oh...."Jia Changchao finally understood everything after listening to Wen Yanbo's words.

"And you still don't know why the King of Zhenjiang went to guard the spirit?"

"Ahh Yes? Wen Yanbo looked at Lao Jia in a daze. This...... What else does this mean? ”

"Heh...."Jia Xiangye laughed dryly. There was an infighting, and Kuanfu's head was confused, right? ”

"What do you mean, you go and ask the king of Zhenjiang yourself."

After speaking, he said goodbye to Fu Bi and turned around to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to persuade Fu Bi two more sentences, "Don't leave Beijing, stay!" ”

And Wen Yanbo saw that look again the moment Jia Xiangye turned around-

That relaxed, proud look.

However, this time, Wen Yanbo didn't understand the meaning.

......
