Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

Zhao Yiyi couldn't believe his eyes after receiving Bao Zheng's memorial.

What is the reappearance of the book from heaven?

He knows about Tianshu, his father Song Zhenzong came up with self-deceitful things, which were despised by people of insight.

After his father died, Liu E buried the Tianshu with his father.

Why is another heavenly book coming out now?

He read the memorial again from the beginning to the end, and roughly understood what Bao Zheng meant.

Sure enough, Xia Yuqi was hooked by him, and together with his personal disciples, he broke Yingtian's Skyscraper.On the second floor of Chongxiao Tower, there are hundreds of thousands of gold books that King Xiangyang has saved over the years, and on the top floor is a heavenly book that is exactly the same as the one that appeared in the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu.

Zhao Yiyi turned his head and asked Liu En: "It was true that the queen mother buried this thing with the late emperor, right?"

Liu En nodded: "It's genuine."

"Then what's going on here," Zhao Yiyi frowned, "Did the king of Xiangyang himself make an identical one, or did he take the late emperor's..."

Or did he dig up the late emperor's grave?

The king of Xiangyang should not have done something like digging up the tomb of his emperor's brother, right?

Zhao Yiyi thought a little uncertainly.

Besides, you have already dug the emperor's grave, so it's not good to dig up some treasures, so you have to dig out such a useless book?

Or did he also want to imitate the late emperor and give himself the status of being ordered by heaven?

Then you should at least come up with your own idea, what's the matter with digging out your brother's funeral objects?

Do you think you are touching Captain Jin?

How many years have the Dazhong auspicious symbols been in the old calendar?

Liu Endao: "This is really uncertain, there is no proof of death."

After all, the King of Xiangyang himself was not very capable. When he was expelled from Beijing and the Tianshu incident was the hottest, he stayed in Yingtian for a long time, so he might not be too keen on the current affairs of the court.

Moreover, it was only a few years before the death of the first emperor, and a prince who was far away from the political center mistakenly thought that the book of heaven was a magic weapon capable of commanding the world...

It's not too unusual.

Now that King Xiangyang is dead, no one knows what he thinks.

Zhao Yiyi put down the memorial.

"The most important thing now is whether this Heavenly Book is the king of Xiangyang..."

He made a gesture: "It was taken out there."

If the Heavenly Book was forged by the King of Xiangyang, it would just be the icing on the cake for his crime of treason.

After all, even the victims' blood steamed buns are delicious, so it's not a big deal to forge a long-outdated scripture.

But if, this heavenly book is really the one that was buried with Song Zhenzong...

Then this matter is big.

Digging someone's grave is beyond conscience, let alone digging the grave of your father and elder brother.

If this matter really needs to be investigated in detail, King Xiangyang's sentence of Ling Chi will not be too much.

Now the death method of the silver hairpin piercing the brain is already regarded as joy and mourning.

Zhao Yiyi asked: "Who was the envoy of Shanling back then?"

Shanling envoys, that is, officials who supervised the construction of the tomb of the Daxing emperor, were generally appointed by senior officials or even prime ministers.

Whether King Xiangyang robbed the tomb of the first emperor is not yet clear, but if it is true, the envoy of the mountain tomb cannot absolve himself of the blame.

How did you build the tomb? Why did you get robbed within two years?

Liu En said, "It's Xia Song."

"Xia Song?"

Zhao Yiyi raised his eyebrows: "That's...that Xia Song?"

That Kou Zhun's confidant Xia Song?

The privy envoy who was kicked out of Beijing by them not long ago?

Liu En nodded: "It's him."

"That's not right," Zhao Yiyi asked, "his position seems to be lower. Besides, he belongs to Kou Zhun. How could Liu E let him be the Shanling envoy?"

The Shanling Envoy built a tomb for Emperor Daxing, which was a rather honorable job.At that time, Zhenzong had just passed away, and Liu E and Kou Zhun were competing with each other. It didn't make sense that Liu E would give this position to Kou Zhun's person.

Liu E is the queen mother, the wife of Emperor Daxing, and she has the final say on who will build the tomb for her deceased husband.

So Xia Song's position seemed rather strange.

It's not that the Empress Dowager has no one available, so why should you let a small official from the opposite family build a tomb for the emperor?

Liu Endao: "At that time, Xia Song's position was higher than it is now. He was already a deputy prime minister. It was enough to be a mountain envoy. And he was a member of the empress dowager at that time."

"Deputy Prime Minister? Shanling Envoy?" Zhao Yiyi frowned, and suddenly realized: "Ah... I remembered."

He remembered what happened to Xia Song.

When Zhenzong passed away, as the adopted son of Zhenzong, the new emperor had to show 12 points of grief in order to satisfy the Taoists in the court and call the emperor benevolent and filial.

So Zhao Yiyi only ate one or two bites of vegetarian dishes for each meal, and sometimes he didn't even eat vegetarian dishes. After taking a bite of rice, he began to cry to the late emperor, saying that I am eating these meals now, can Emperor Daxing eat them underground?

At that time, he also made a plan for himself, making sure that everyone who could get in touch with him saw him cry at least once a day, and each time he had to say something different.

Why do you suddenly think of the late emperor while eating, or suddenly think of the late emperor when you fall asleep? You can think of the late emperor even after reading a book, and then you can cry.

After one or two months like this, the ruling and opposition parties recognized that the new emperor is a filial son.

Too much to cry.

Crying every day was exhausting, and he had to eat well, so Zhao Yiyi only asked Liu En to pay attention to the situation in the previous court, and don't tell Kou Zhun and Liu E to turn the sky upside down. You don't need to tell him the rest of the details.

He remembered vaguely hearing Liu En mention it once, saying that the cemetery chosen for the late emperor was flooded. Fortunately, the late emperor was not buried at that time, and then the person who chose the cemetery was executed, and the Shanling envoy was also demoted because of this.

Liu Endao: "The queen mother was quite angry at the time. The envoy of Shanling must have been exiled from Beijing after such a big incident. At that time Xia Song wanted to ask the queen mother to intercede, but the queen mother ignored him at all, and then this person voted for Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun kept him from being released, but he also demoted his position. He originally planned to be promoted back later, but in the end..."

In the end, they found out another black spot about the mother's loss of carelessness, and they just slapped it to the end.

Zhao Yiyi smiled: "No wonder the Queen Mother reacted so strongly."

Thinking about it, although Liu E may not know what King Xiangyang and Huo Fang hid in the scramble tower, but he can vaguely guess that it may be related to Song Zhenzong's tomb.

She sent people to supervise the repair of Song Zhenzong's tomb back then. During the repair, there was a scandal of flooding the imperial tomb. If there was another scandal of the imperial tomb being stolen, then she, the queen mother, really wouldn't have to see the first emperor.

Both Xia Song and Huo Fang used to belong to her, and if they were involved in the theft of the imperial tomb, it was inevitable that she would also get dirty.

Changing the civet cat for the crown prince was enough for her, Liu E really didn't want to win a scapegoat for herself anymore.

"The King of Xiangyang likes to win over the thieves in the rivers and lakes, and do some heretical kung fu. It is not surprising that there are a few captains who touch gold under his command."

Zhao Yiyi emphasized his tone: "Of course King Xiangyang and Huo Fang stole this heavenly book from the mausoleum of the first emperor."

Liu En understood what he meant: "There is only one copy of the Heavenly Book throughout the ages, and the Heavenly Book in the Sky Tower is naturally the one in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.

Since it was Xia Song who supervised the repair of the imperial mausoleum back then, and Xia Song is now a member of Kou Zhun, the theft of the imperial mausoleum must be confirmed.

Xia Song's mother's failure to keep his mother's funeral is just a lack of personal morality. Although this personal morality can indeed implicate his official career, it has no lethal effect on his boss Kou Zhun.

After all, Xia Song's mother is only Xia Song's mother, not the common mother of Xia Song and Kou Zhun.Xia Song is not filial to his own mother, Guan Kouzhun has nothing to do with it.

Zhao Yiyi wanted to get angry with Kou Zhun because of this, so he could only reprimand him with a few words that he didn't know who he knew, and what kind of things he recommended.But he couldn't deal with the crime of punishing bandits.

But Xia Song was not good at supervising the construction of the mountain mausoleum, which led to the tomb of the first emperor being stolen within a few years. Even if Xia Song was still innocent with Kou Zhun when he did this, Kou Zhun must suffer from this dumb loss.

Song Zhenzong is the common father of both Xia Song and Kou Zhun. Xia Song made the resting place of Song Zhenzong into this virtue. Does Kou Zhun want to stay out of it?

Zhao benefit will not allow this kind of thing to happen.

Now he and Kou Zhun have reached the final stage of the struggle - Zhao Yiyi has grasped an overwhelming advantage, Kou Zhun's power in the court has collapsed, and his prestige in the army is also contended by Di Qing. Kou Zhun is completely out of the game, he just needs to think of a better reason.

If he was a little lazy, it would not be impossible to deal with Kou Zhun on the grounds that his left foot stepped into the threshold first, but this would be too rough and prone to criticism, and it would not be very good to record in the history books in the future.

He had to think of a reason enough to block the mouths of everyone in the world, so that people believed that it was not because he was ruthless, and he must push his teacher and father-in-law back home.He really had no choice—my father-in-law's subordinates repaired my own father's grave so that it leaked from all sides, so I asked my father-in-law to step down and go home. Is this reasonable?

As for the imperial tomb that Liu E asked Xia Song to repair, it has nothing to do with Kou Zhun...

Who cares?

The queen mother has been reduced to this level, and you still want to throw the blame on the queen mother, is it too ruthless?

Zhao Yiyi smiled: "The last big rock in my heart has fallen to the ground."

Before that, he was still thinking about what name he would send Kou Zhun to when he came back.

He is very satisfied with Kou Yaoniang, the almost transparent queen, so satisfied that he doesn't want to change again.

Zhao Xu is the successor he has been thinking about, so he can't do too much with Kou Zhun, he has to save him the last bit of dignity and let him step down safely.

Now the theft of the royal tomb is just right, it is serious enough that Kou Zhun can't be cheeky and stay out of it.But it wasn't Kou Zhun's fault after all, so after he pleaded guilty, Zhao Yiyi could make false claims with him for a while, and the final result was that Duke Lai retired honorably.

He was somewhat looking forward to the return of Kou Zhun and Di Qing from Xiazhou.
