[Comprehensive] Emperor

赵煦

Zhao Xu's real name was Zhao Gong, and he was the sixth son of the late Emperor Song Shenzong. The late emperor was made a crown prince due to critical illness, and became the seventh emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.After the first emperor died of illness, he ascended the throne as Zhezong, who was only ten years old when he ascended the throne.

After deciphering the memory of this body, Li Tan was really indescribably moved.

I think that when he started the mission for the first time, he became Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, and although this body is not a direct descendant of Zhao Zhen, it can be regarded as an elder, and suddenly he became his junior. I really don't know what to say.It's just that he, a junior, was not as happy as Zhao Zhen. Although Zhao Zhen was enthroned at a young age, Empress Liu at that time was also towards Zhao Zhen.But Zhao Xu is different here. Before he ascended the throne, Song Shenzong's two younger brothers, Zhao Hao and Zhao Kai, wanted to usurp the throne. Whether he can sit or not is unknown.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager Gao, she is also unusual. She is the mother of Song Shenzong, and the reason why Zhao Xu was made emperor was just to make a puppet.But Empress Dowager Gao also knew very well that at her age, she would naturally not be able to survive Zhao Xu. She had been in power in the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, and naturally she did not want the Great Song Dynasty to perish because of her, so she There are also some outstanding talents to educate Zhao Xu, hoping that Zhao Xu can learn the benevolence of Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen instead of the radicalism of the former emperor Shenzong.

But obviously, the original owner, Zhao Xu, did not understand the Empress Dowager Gao at all. Zhao Xu only had rebellion and hatred in his heart for this woman who helped him ascend to the throne.But this is also understandable, who made the Empress Dowager Gao keep suppressing Zhao Xu's biological mother Concubine Zhu De, facing this woman who came from a humble background and respected her, she didn't promote her at all but insulted her. I can't do anything, I can only be a concubine...

After reading Zhao Xu's memory, Li Tan really didn't know how to evaluate it. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly - family planning is better.

If you have fewer children, there won't be so many messy things... hey.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to get out of the sedan chair." The person who spoke was Xiao Lizi, Zhao Xu's personal eunuch, who was sent to Zhao Xu by the Empress Dowager Gao, so although Zhao Xu asked him to do some trivial matters, he didn't believe him in his heart. of.

Walking slowly into the main hall, it is ironic to say that the Empress Dowager Gao has said more than once that the reason why she interferes in political affairs is very helpless, but she controls the government very strictly. Even the seat in the court is the same as that of Zhao Xu This group of ministers has always been facing the Queen Mother, with their backs to Zhao Xu. After paying back to the Queen Mother, it’s fine, and they don’t turn around to report to Zhao Xu for a second time. For Zhao Xu, this morning, he sat behind the crowd. Watching the excitement is like a clown entertaining himself.

However, Li Tan saw the Empress Dowager Gao for the first time. Although this woman was no longer beautiful, she was still graceful and luxurious. She deserved to be the most honorable woman in the Song Dynasty.At this time, Li Tan couldn't do anything at all, he could only quietly look at the backs of the ministers.But there was no hatred in his heart. Speaking of which, there were really a few famous figures in history in the court at this time, such as the prime minister——Sima Guang.Although Li Tan's personality and instincts have become more and more similar to those of Tang's Li Tan, but the modern memory is still there. He has not forgotten him when he was a child, but he grew up listening to Sima Guang smashing tanks in the textbook.

At this time, Sima Guang was reused by the Empress Dowager Gao, but another equally famous person in history had retired and returned home without doing anything. He was Wang Anshi who proposed reform but was suppressed by the Empress Dowager Gao.

After listening to the meaningless morning court, Li Tan secretly made up his mind - he must not sit quietly and wait for death.It would be too embarrassing for the Empress Dowager Gao to be in charge after her death. When the Empress Dowager Gao still underestimates him, try to defeat this self-esteemed woman.

This country belongs to the Zhao family after all, but that woman with a foreign surname has absolutely no right to humiliate the descendants of the Zhao family.

Otherwise, what's the point of dealing so hard with Daliao Xixia when he was Zhao Zhen?

After going to court, Li Tan did not go back to his residence directly, but went to his biological mother, Concubine Zhu De.Since Zhao Xu was very filial to his biological mother, no one cared too much about it. After all, in the eyes of others, Zhao Xu was still a small shrimp who couldn't make waves.

Li Tan first paid filial piety to Concubine Zhu De's mother and loving son for a while, then secretly stuffed a note into the concubine's hand, the concubine put it away calmly, Li Tan nodded in reassurance and left.

In fact, this is a game, a game that can get out of a dead game ahead of time.

But this is a dangerous game after all, if the Empress Dowager Gao finds out, she will be afraid of her, and whether she will die early is still unknown.

However, fortunately, although the Empress Dowager Gao has great power, she did not take Princess Zhu De seriously. This note was sent out through the hands of Princess Zhu De, and sent to Wang Anshi who had long been reprimanded and waited to die at home. hands.

In other words, Wang Anshi was moved to tears after receiving the secret letter from the new emperor Zhao Xu, also known as Li Tan. When the first emperor was alive, he still praised his reform, but after Empress Dowager Gao came to power, they completely suppressed their new faction.Now that the new emperor is willing to praise his reform, it is simply a life-saving straw for Wang Anshi. The blow from the Empress Dowager Gao also made him decide to put all his eggs in one basket. He picked up the token bestowed by the late emperor and set foot on the journey back to the capital. journey.

Although Empress Dowager Gao can ignore Zhao Xu and his biological mother, Princess Zhu De, she cannot ignore the influence of Wang Anshi and his party on the court.You know, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Wang Anshi is suppressed like this, if he really wants to do something, his power should not be underestimated.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Gao decided to send someone to assassinate him. Maybe Wang Anshi really deserved his life. When the Empress Dowager Gao sent people to chase him down, he was rescued by Qiao Feng, the new leader of the Beggar Gang. Wang Anshi called Qiao Feng As a benefactor, he told him all the things he had encountered. Qiao Feng, who is simply a model of a hero, decided to personally escort Wang Anshi back to the capital, so that even if he suffered countless assassinations along the way, Wang Anshi still arrived in the capital alive. With the token, he entered the palace in a grand manner.

Li Tan sat on the dragon chair with his back facing the ministers and watched all this coldly. His first game had just begun.
