Emperor's Award Ceremony: Beginning with the award of the Eternal Emperor

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned green and pale, although he already knew the reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty he established.But now, he has no time to think about this.What he wants to know most now is how he died.

If you avoid death, you can actively change the national policy.So can the Northern Song Dynasty avoid the tragedy of being eventually destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin?

"After Zhao Kuangyin established the Northern Song Dynasty, the world was peaceful for more than ten years, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment! In fact, Zhao Kuangyin was in his prime, and it was time to make great achievements!

It's really tempting. In order to compete for status, the emperor's family will fight each other, too many to enumerate! "

"Zhao Kuangyin has a younger brother, Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi! Zhao Kuangyin loves and trusts his younger brother very much! But..."

The Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It was already midwinter, and it was snowing heavily outside. In a side hall, Zhao Kuangyin was sitting in front of a table, which was already filled with all kinds of wine and dishes. He was waiting to bring his younger brother Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi to drink together.

Looking at the high platform shining with golden light in the sky, Zhao Kuangyin's heart sank suddenly.

Zhou Yi suddenly mentioned Zhao Guangyi, so he naturally knew what it meant.

At the same time, the civil and military officials of the Northern Song Dynasty also watched the video at the same time, and their hearts were shocked.

Outside the palace, a middle-aged man in his 40s walked slowly towards the palace stepping on the snow. He also looked at the video on the high platform with a pale face. It was Zhao Guangyi.

He hurriedly pushed open the palace door and walked in, bowed to Zhao Kuangyin, and said, "Brother, how could my younger brother do such a thing? I am wronged, I am wronged!"

He almost peed in fright.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him coldly, but didn't make a sound.Now in the eyes of all the emperors, Zhou Yi is already a god, and what he said is definitely not wrong.

Since Zhou Yi mentioned his own death, but it hasn't happened yet, it is entirely possible for him to avoid it.

"On the night of October 22nd in the ninth year of Kaibao, it snowed heavily. Zhao Kuangyin summoned Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi into the palace to discuss state affairs. The two drank together..."

Zhou Yi's voice sounded leisurely.

But Zhao Kuangyin giggled in his heart and suddenly mentioned: "The evening of October 22, the ninth year of Kaibao? Tonight..."

Zhao Guangyi, who was standing opposite him, trembled and almost fell to the ground.

Zhouyi's time is so accurate.Not only Zhao Guangyi, but even the emperors of various worlds are convinced of this matter.

"The two drank more and more. In the middle of the night, a court lady saw Zhao Guangyi leave the table in the shadow of candles in the house outside the palace, as if he was avoiding something, and then heard the sound of an ax throwing the ground, and then heard someone Say: "'Good job!here you go! '"

When the next day was about to dawn, news spread that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin had died! "

"This is the famous 'candle light and ax shadow' in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty!"

"Candle light and ax shadow?" Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly argued: "Brother, this is absolutely impossible! How could my younger brother do such a rebellious thing! This Zhouyi must have been instructed by someone to murder my brother! Please learn from me!"

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly!

"After this incident, there were a lot of troubles and discussions, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or not. Many people believed it and complained for Zhao Guangyi, but there were many loopholes in this incident!" Zhou Yi continued.

"Zhao Kuangyin has a lot of trust in his younger brother. Zhao Guangyi can freely enter and leave the palace! After Zhao Guangyi killed his brother, he pretended to be fine and left the palace!"

"At dawn, Zhao Kuangyin's confidant eunuch Wang Jilong found him dead, but instead of informing Queen Song and the Crown Prince, he ran to Kaifeng Mansion and told Zhao Guangyi!"

"At this time, the queen also heard the news of the emperor's death. She sent someone to summon his son Zhao Defen, the king of Qin, to see him, and wanted him to ascend the throne as emperor immediately!"

"But at this time Zhao Guangyi has already arrived!"

"The queen was shocked when she saw it, and knew that something was wrong. Zhao Guangyi's power and position was only under Zhao Kuangyin's. He was full of civil and military confidants in the court. Once Zhao Kuangyin died, no one could suppress him. She could only adapt to the situation: "Our mother and child lives , all handed over to the emperor. "

Zhao Guangyi comforted her and said: "'To protect wealth and honor, don't worry!' Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne as emperor!" Yi.

Chapter 187 Zhao Kuangyin: Did I die so badly?

Chapter 187 Zhao Kuangyin: Did I die so badly?

Zhou Yi paused, sneered, and continued:

""This incident aroused discussions among the court and the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, and everyone expressed doubts about whether it was reasonable for Zhao Guangyi to kill the king and ascend the throne as emperor! "

"So, a few years later, the so-called 'Alliance of the Golden Chamber' appeared again!"

"Zhao Pu is the founding hero of the Song Dynasty and Zhao Kuangyin's confidant, but he is arrogant because of his favor. "Corruption and bribery, after Zhao Kuangyin knew about it, he withdrew his post as prime minister! "

"After Zhao Guangyi came to the throne, he was still depressed. In order to regain his high position, he advised Zhao Guangyi and concocted a "golden chamber alliance"!"

"Zhao Pu said that as early as the second year of Taizu Jianlong's reign, Empress Dowager Du was critically ill. She summoned Zhao Kuangyin and him and asked Zhao Kuangyin, 'Do you know how the world of the Song Dynasty came about?'" [-]

"Zhao Kuangyin said: 'Of course it depends on the merits of the ancestors and the queen mother.'"

"The Empress Dowager Du said: 'Naive! Telling lies! This is because the Chai family has only young children and widowed mothers! If Zhou Li is an older monarch, would you possibly add a yellow robe to usurp power?"

Zhao Kuangyin remained silent.

"After a hundred years, you should pass the throne to Guangyi, and Guangyi to Guangmei, and Guangmei to Dezhao. In this way, the Song Dynasty will not have a young monarch, and the country will naturally be preserved."

"Zhao Kuangyin felt that this method was excellent, and asked Zhao Pu to write down these words and hide them in a golden box as an oath."

"This is the so-called 'Alliance of the Golden Chamber'!"

"Zhao Guangyi finally found the secret letter according to what Zhao Pu said. He was indeed passed on to him by his elder brother Zhao Kuangyin!"

"Some doubters have all dispelled their doubts! Zhao Guangyi finally breathed a sigh of relief!"

"And Zhao Pu ascended to the position of chancellor again, and he has made great achievements since then!"

"But people all over the world ignored it, or they didn't really go into it too much. This Golden Chamber alliance was only brought out five years after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne! At that time, the ruling and opposition parties suspected that there were too many people who killed his brother and usurped the throne! We had to take it out!"

"I don't know why he didn't take it out immediately when he ascended the throne!"

"And this incident is full of loopholes! When Queen Mother Du passed away, Zhao Kuangyin was only 34 years old, in his prime, and his son Zhao Dezhao was already 14 years old."

"Even if Zhao Kuangyin passed away a few years later, Zhao Dezhao would already be an adult! There would not be a situation where Chai Sejong was a seven-year-old orphan with no leader. Empress Dowager Du was wise all her life, how could she make such a bad plan?"

Zhao Kuangyin's face was cold. This incident had never happened before. Zhao Pu and others actually fabricated the story of his late mother, Queen Mother Du, ordering him to pass the throne to Zhao Guangyi.

"Zhao Pu? Wang Jilong?" Zhao Kuangyin's forehead had bulging veins, and he wished he could tear the two men apart immediately.He reluctantly held back, wanting to see if there was anything else he didn't know.

Zhao Guangyi was so frightened that his heart was pounding. Zhao Pu had already been dismissed by Zhao Kuangyin and stayed at home. He had been in secret contact with Zhao Pu for the past few days.

When Zhao Pu and Wang Jilong saw the video, they were already so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

"What is puzzling is that Zhao Guangyi didn't wait until the next year to change his reign name."

"When a new king comes to the throne, it is usually changed to the new year name in the following year. However, Zhao Guangyi changed the ninth year of Kaibao, which was only two months left, to the first year of Taiping Xingguo. This is a break from the routine. There is only one explanation: guilty conscience, I have to be the first to 'rectify my name'!"

"And what is even more suspicious is that before Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he clearly said that he would take good care of the queen and his two nephews, but what he did afterwards surprised everyone.

"After he ascended the throne, he immediately imprisoned Queen Song in a side hall, and only sent a few court ladies and eunuchs to serve him, and he was not allowed to even step out of the palace gate. And his two sons wanted to see their mother, and it was extremely difficult. !"

"What is even more outrageous is that he forced to kill Zhao Kuangyin's eldest son, Zhao Dezhao, who died in the third year after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne. Zhao Dezhao was already 30 years old at the time. Zhao Kuangyin's youngest son, Defang, also died of a mysterious sudden illness two years later. It is to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots, so as to avoid future troubles!"

"Empress Song saw her two sons pass away one after another. She was overwhelmed with grief and grief, and soon died of depression. However, Zhao Guangyi did not go to the funeral, and the corpse was already stinking. It was only after the civil and military letters of the Manchu Dynasty that he reluctantly buried him. .”

"But he was not buried according to the queen's etiquette, let alone buried with Zhao Kuangyin. Are these accidents?"

Northern Song Emperor Shenzong, Song Renzong, Song Huizong and other emperors watched the video in silence, with embarrassing expressions on their faces.They are all descendants of Zhao Guangyi.

This matter was almost an open taboo in the Northern Song court, and no one talked about it.

And the court records of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty never recorded this incident...

"What's even more unbelievable is that Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, had no son and inherited the throne. He once discussed with his officials to establish a descendant of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to succeed the throne. He once said that the shadow of the candlelight and ax was indeed made by his ancestor Zhao Guangyi. It is also a lie woven together by him, Zhao Pu and others!"

"At that time, several confidant ministers in the Manchu Dynasty reminded him not to mention this matter again. He wanted to make Zhao Kuangyin's descendant the crown prince, so he put it aside..."

Zhao Kuangyin stood up, bowed respectfully to the high platform in the void, and said excitedly: "Thank you Mr. Zhou Yi for revealing the truth about the deaths of me, my queen and my two sons!"

Empress Song and Zhao Defang and Zhao Dezhao stared at the video in a daze, shocked.

Unexpectedly, King Jin, who has always been respectful and intimate to them, turned out to be so human and beastly, killing their family of four.

Ying Zheng said: "What Zhao Guangyi has done is too much! It's fine to kill your brother and win the throne, and even the queen and two nephews are not spared! What a waste!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered his rebellious son Hu Hai, who killed all his brothers and sisters.The means are no worse than Zhao Guangyi's.

He felt that he was not qualified to accuse Zhao Guangyi.

He turned his head and looked coldly at Hu Hai behind him, who shrank his neck in fright.

Li Shimin's face flushed, thinking of the Xuanwu Gate change, killing his own brothers and brothers, and killing all the sons of the 4.5 Guang Prince Li Jiancheng.He suddenly puffed out his chest again.

He was not embarrassing the Crown Princess, Princess Qi, or their daughters, and even accepted Concubine Yang.His own methods are much gentler.

He even made great efforts to rule and created the rule of Zhenguan, which is famous in history.In addition to that, there is only the stain of imprisoning his father, and the rest of himself is perfect.

This Zhao Guangyi doesn't seem to have made any outstanding contributions, otherwise Zhou Yi would not have mentioned it.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was also silent.He took the country from his nephew Zhu Yunwen, and he couldn't find it. Zhu Yunwen, but he did not let go of his loyalty. Instead, he went on a killing spree, especially Fang Xiaoru, who killed the ten clans.

"Come on! Pull Zhao Guangyi and Wang Jilong out and cut them off!" Zhao Kuangyin yelled, "Three hundred soldiers, go and arrest Zhao Pu and all the courtiers who concocted the Golden Chamber Alliance, and execute the law on the spot!".

Chapter 188 Zhao Guangyi: I was wronged!

Chapter 188 Zhao Guangyi: I was wronged!

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged, brother!" Zhao Guangyi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly begged for mercy in fright.

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly, unmoved at all.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Guangyi felt desperate, and he retreated a few steps, and was about to run away.Suddenly, he saw a golden ax hanging on the wall.

He stepped forward and took off the axe.

He turned his head and stared at Zhao Kuangyin viciously: "Since you are said to have died under my axe! Then, I will fulfill you!"

There was a ruthless look in his eyes, as if Zhao Kuangyin rushed over.

Zhao Kuangyin's complexion changed drastically, and he took a breath in his heart: "Candle light and ax shadow!"

"Mr. Zhou Yi has already reminded you! Could it be that I still can't escape this calamity?"

The emperors from all over the world watched this scene and couldn't help being in an uproar.

"Could it be that everyone's doomed disaster can't be avoided no matter what?"

"If Mr. Zhou Yi commented on the cause of his death on 26, he clearly knew what happened, but it was still unavoidable?"

Everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

Everyone stared at Xu Ying intently, their hearts raised.

If Zhao Kuangyin can escape this catastrophe, they can also avoid it.

"No way? Are all the emperors still developing according to their original fate? Is this their fate?"

Zhou Yi couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

"I'll kill you today! Even if I can't win the throne, I still take your dog's life! It can be regarded as following half of my destiny! Haha!"

Zhao Guangyi rushed to Zhao Kuangyin in one step.Holding up the axe, he slashed at the top of his head.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was cold, and he did not hide or dodge.

He suddenly kicked Zhao Guangyi on the stomach, and with a bang, Zhao Guangyi flew several meters away, and threw the ax aside.

Zhao Kuangyin was extremely brave when he was young, and he defeated the Song Dynasty with a dragon stick.Although now, some are getting older.

His health is not very good, but his abilities have not weakened much. How could Zhao Guangyi be his opponent.

Zhao Guangyi struggled to get up, but the abdominal pain was so unbearable that he couldn't get up at all.

At this time, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and dozens of guards rushed in, dragged Zhao Guangyi up from the ground, and walked outside.

At the gate of the hall, the eunuch Wang Jilong had already been suppressed by the guards and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the guards pressed Wang Jilong, followed Zhao Guangyi, and walked into the distance.

Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing their ambitions, such traitors and thieves, if they still make a comeback, everyone will be terrified.

"This kind of insane beast! If it falls into my hands, even his lineage will be wiped out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly.

All the emperors looked at him and knew his iron-blooded methods, but they killed countless people, including Hu Weiyong, Lan Yu and tens of thousands of people.

As a result, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty were in danger. Before going to the court, they all solemnly bid farewell to their families, almost like a farewell.

Li Shimin shook his head, disapproving in his heart.

Although he also killed brothers and brothers, but after all, he has been quite restrained.

He has some complaints about the methods of Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang and others. He always feels that the only way to control them is to rely on killing people, which is a manifestation of limited and incompetent ruling ability.
