My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 439 The Ending of Zhao Ji and Zhao Song's Clan
A torrential rain came unexpectedly.

Thunder and lightning flashed in Tokyo, and strong winds howled.

It rained all night, and the three thousand palaces in the imperial city took on a new look.

Under the leadership of Huarong, the Shenwu Army completed the tight defense of Tokyo overnight in the rain. Wu Song and Xu Ning were in charge of the Imperial City Division and the Wucheng Bingma Division respectively to maintain law and order in the capital. Yan Qing personally led the Tiger Guards to station in the deep palace. and Yanwangfu.

Yanfu Palace, Longde Hall.

Civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty——the actual number of court officials has been reduced by nearly half compared with a few months ago, and even these people are still Li Gang and Wu Min, according to Wang Lin’s opinion, they have selected and added a lot of both political integrity and ability They filled the yamen of various ministries to make up for the power vacuum created by Tang Geng and others being imprisoned.

Takeshi Tokyo is in high spirits.

For 200 years, under the system where the emperor of the Song Dynasty ruled the world with the scholar bureaucrats, how did Wu Xun have a bright future?

This is an important factor for Manchu Wu Xun to support Wang Lin's change of dynasty from the bottom of his heart.

But Wang Lin obviously did not disappoint them.

From the beginning of promoting the marriage between the noble family of civil servants and Wu Xun, to the current Wu Xun directly on the court stage, this means that in the new dynasty in the future, Wu Xun will become a force not weaker than civil servants.

Li Gang and Wu Min looked excited. After the change of dynasty, they were finally able to govern without restraint, and devoted themselves to the reconstruction and rise of a new dynasty and a glorious empire.

Their political strategy is consistent and consistent with Wang Lin's in the general direction.

This is the key factor for Li Gang and Wu Min to stand firmly behind Wang Lin.

There was a lot of discussion in the Longde Palace, and the civil and military officials were whispering in groups, discussing the future court situation.

Wang Lin walked in slowly, Li Gang, Wu Min, Guo Zhishun and others hurriedly led all the civil and military officials to bow down: "Your Highness, I wait to see you!"

At this time, Wang Lin has not yet performed the enthronement ceremony, so it cannot be called His Majesty for the time being.

Wang Lin walked up to Danchi slowly, but did not sit down on the dragon chair.

He hopes that in the future he will not lose himself because of power.

He stood there quietly, his deep eyes slowly passing over the crowd, and finally met the eyes of Li Gang, Wu Min, Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo, Guo Zhishun, Huang Qishan and others, and nodded slightly.

There are three things that need to be prioritized right now.

First, dispose of the former Zhao and Song clans including Song Huizong Zhao Ji, prepare for the enthronement ceremony, change the dynasty, and Wang Lin changed Yuan to proclaim himself emperor.

The second is to set things right, deal with Tang Geng and other dozens of people who advocated moving south and leading the coup, and revive the government.

Third, build the basic institutional framework of the new dynasty, the so-called four beams and eight pillars that support the operation of the dynasty.

These are simple to say, but are actually a number of complicated and vast system projects.

In order to reduce the shock and achieve a smooth transition of the government, the most appropriate way is of course to let Zhao Ji abdicate, just like Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin usurped the imperial power of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

But if this is the case, the Zhao Song clan can be preserved because of this.

Chai's lessons can be used as a reference.

Given that Zhao Ji had planned to kill Wang Lin and his heirs before, Li Gang and the others were not sure whether Wang Lin would be lenient.

This is a very sensitive topic, but it cannot be avoided.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him silently, Li Gang couldn't help but sighed softly, and had no choice but to come out of class and salute: "Your Highness, I think that we can follow the example of Emperor Taizu's succession of imperial power in the Zhou Dynasty, and follow Song Emperor Zhao Ji's abdication, and Your Highness will inherit it." , Announce it to the world, so as to reassure the hearts of the world.”

Li Gang pondered for a while, and then said: "As for the Emperor Song and the clan, I think that His Highness can show benevolence, change the title of Duke of Song, move to Luoyang, and live in Luoyang. The clan of Song Dynasty followed this example, demoted to the third rank, and moved to Luoyang for resettlement. "

The ministers were silent.

Li Gang's suggestion is actually what everyone thinks, no matter how ignorant the Zhao Song royal family is, no matter how Zhao Ji was before, as long as he is in Zen, he should preserve the family and life of the Zhao Song royal family.

It's a political exchange.

Wang Lin remained silent.

In fact, Zhao Ji's threat in his heart is not at all.From the very beginning, he never wanted to kill Zhao Song's clan head, the so-called never-ending trouble.

If he couldn't even frighten the incompetent and cowardly people of the Zhao family, the emperor would really be meaningless.

Besides, with Zhao Fujin and Chongde around...how could he bear the notoriety of killing his father-in-law?

He was just thinking about how to be more secure, so as not to cause complications.

Also, is it deposed in Luoyang or somewhere else.

Zhao Kuangyin was born in Luoyang, so Li Gang's proposal to be resettled in Luoyang is considered a routine in history.

But Wang Lin is destined to move his capital to Youzhou in the future.

As the capital city, Kaifeng is really unfavorable.Although this matter needs to be gradually figured out, it can be paved now.

As for the title, Wang Lin remembered the canonization given to Zhao Ji by the Jinren: Hunde Gong.

He can't kill Zhao Ji, but he can permanently nail Zhao Ji to the pillar of shame in history.

Wang Lin pondered over and over again, without saying a word, Guo Zhishun, Li Gang, Wu Min and others quietly exchanged glances, thinking that Wang Lin would not let Zhao Ji go, so he gritted his teeth and stood up, proposing the second set of plans they had agreed upon in private .

Give Zhao Ji to death alone, change the title to Prince Zhao Gou, and preserve the last trace of the Zhao Song clan's face.

Guo Zhishun's daughter served Wang Lin, and now there must be a royal concubine.

Guo Zhishun was also the first batch of courtiers who took refuge in Wang Lin, and he came forward to make suggestions, which naturally avoided the embarrassment of many people.

Guo Zhishun prostrated himself on the ground.

After listening to Guo Zhishun's report, Wang Lin suddenly smiled.

He looked around at the officials under Dan Chi, his heart was like a mirror.

As the former officials of the Song Dynasty, they were definitely not willing to punish the royal family of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. If they could achieve a smooth transition of imperial power through the Zen position, they would also be able to avoid the infamy of being bullied by their officials and serving two masters.

On the contrary, the new monarch exempted the former emperor and clan under the bitter remonstrance of his ministers, which can be regarded as a merit.

A game for Song Chen can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end.

"Guo Xiang, get up."

As soon as Wang Lin said this, everyone looked at Guo Zhishun enviously.

This means that Guo Zhishun can still be photographed in the future.

Guo Zhishun took a deep breath, stood up and returned to work respectfully.

No matter whether Wang Lin listened to his suggestion or not, he was given enough dignity.

Wang Lin walked down Danchi slowly, and said with a light smile, "Your lords, follow what you said, perform the ceremony of meditation, treat Zhao Song's royal family kindly, and fully honor the kindness and righteousness of the former monarchs and ministers of the Zhao Song royal family."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was inexplicably grateful.

Xinjun is one of them.

The second is truly open-minded and graceful, and this treatment should minimize the obstacles for him to take over the imperial power.

The third is to show kindness to everyone, the so-called kindness between them and the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty.

Li Gang, Wu Min, and Guo Zhishun led all the officials to prostrate themselves on the ground, shouting long live, and thanking them endlessly.

One must know that Wang Lin now has all the power and the military power is firmly in his hands. He wants to kill the Zhao Song royal family to prevent future troubles, and no one dares to object.

And in history, most of the time when the dynasty changes, blood will flow into rivers.

Just as Li Gang predicted in his heart, Wang Lin is an eternal wise king who can tolerate the world.

Wang Lin smiled, and changed his voice: "However, in view of Zhao Ji's incompetence and incompetence, he has committed serious crimes against the state, and he can be named a Duke, but it is not appropriate to use Song as the title. It is better to change the title to the Duke of Hunde, and there is no need to move thousands of miles to Luoyang, as usual. If you are resettled in Beijing, you can still live in Yanfu Palace."

The ministers were shocked.

The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Wang Lin actually advocated that Zhao Ji stay in the palace. Does this mean that Wang Lin is unwilling to enter this deep palace?How did this work?
The minds of the ministers flashed, and Wang Lin quickly gave a reasonable explanation that made them extremely excited——

"Everyone, the fortunes of the country are now difficult and the national treasury is empty. Everything should be based on armaments to fight against gold. It is a waste of money to move hundreds of people from the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty to Luoyang to open a mansion. I think it is inappropriate.

Local resettlement and lightening regulations can also be regarded as saving money for the court.

As for Gu, after the enthronement ceremony, he still lives in the palace. You don't need to say anymore, Gu did this to reduce the burden on the imperial court. Let's talk about everything after the four seas are settled.

The eunuchs, maids, and deacons in the palace will be paid in half to the private sector as appropriate, and the palace gardens in the harem will be temporarily closed to reduce extravagance. "

Wang Lin definitely would not live in this cold and heartless deep palace.

Safety considerations come first.

After obtaining the land of Yanyun in the future, he will set his capital in Yanjing, and the imperial palace in Kaifeng will be left to Zhao Ji and Zhao Song's clan.

After agreeing on the resettlement strategy for Zhao Ji and Zhao Song's clan, the next thing will be implemented by people like Li Gang.

But then Wang Lin put forward another idea that shook the hall: canonize the former prince Zhao Gou as the king of Henan County.

Zhao Ji was made the Duke of the state, but his son was made the king of the county.

Li Gang frowned, but did not raise any objections.

Only Zhang Jun hesitated for a while, and couldn't help leaving the class to speak, but before he could open his mouth, Wang Lin said calmly: "When Zhao Gou was in Hebei, he helped the cabinet ministers to stabilize the court, and he actually made meritorious service to the country.

Moreover, Zhao Gou has always had the ambition to serve the country, and in the future he plans to let him join the army to take charge of one of the troops, and go to the Northern Expedition with Gu to open up the territory for China. "

Zhang Jun and the others were shocked, and suddenly raised their heads to look at Wang Lin.

Let the former prince of the Song Dynasty take charge of the military power... Isn't Wang Lin afraid that Zhao Gou will have a different heart, and there will be another disturbance that will shake the country's foundation?
Li Gang thought of the rumors about Wang Lin and Zhao Gou's mother and concubine Wei Ying, he thought to himself, this is probably just an excuse for Concubine Wei, as for soldiers, what kind of soldiers can Zhao Gou, a yellow-mouthed child, command?

That's right, it's safer to stay with you than to put it elsewhere.

With this in mind, Li Gangli bowed down and said, "Your Highness is wise!"

Wang Lin looked at Li Gang and smiled without saying a word, but three words floated in his mind: old traitor.

Li Gang supported it, and the rest had no choice but to acquiesce.

……

East Palace.

Zhao Gou stood under the corridor of carved beams and painted buildings with a gloomy expression, looking at the bright yellow glazed cornices of Yanfu Palace in the distance.

Wei Ying's long skirt dragged the floor, and she walked across the corridor accompanied by two maids of honor.

Wei Ying said softly, "Gouer."

Zhao Gou didn't turn his head back, and said in a low voice: "Mother, my son is worried and uneasy. I wonder if the master will slaughter all the imperial and Song clans... I am afraid that my father and this palace will not survive."

Zhao Gou felt desperate.

Under Tang Geng's bewitching, Zhao Ji wanted to move Wang Lin's heirs. Such vicious methods definitely touched Wang Lin's bottom line. With Wang Lin's decisive killing, Zhao Ji still wants to survive?

And once Zhao Ji died, he, the former prince, would naturally not survive.

Because the emperor and the prince are one.

Zhao Goumeng turned his head and said in tears: "Mother, you have to take care, son, I think the master will settle down for mother no matter what he says."

Wei Ying sighed quietly, held Zhao Gou's cold little hand, and comforted her, "Gou'er, don't worry too much, your master won't kill people. Your father, the emperor, should be deposed from the throne and imprisoned."

Zhao Gou shook his head fiercely: "Mother, the emperor wants to kill the master's heir, with the master's means, how can he not take revenge..."

"There is no need to doubt that King Yan will be merciful with Sister Maode. Besides, this situation was originally caused by King Yan's manipulation... He imprisoned the one in Yanfu Palace, and no matter how kind he was to Maode and you and other Song Emperor's children, The hidden danger of the Zhao Song clan's rebellion no longer exists."

Wei Ying said quietly: "You will never learn his methods and his magnanimity. If you don't change the dynasty, you will never be able to learn it. If you don't change the dynasty, it will be considered a strange thing."
