This incident is said to have caused an uproar in the court. Of course, ordinary people can understand that since the Northern Expedition is to be carried out, it is necessary to build materials and expand the army. Without food, grass and soldiers, where can we go to fight?
However, there are still some occupied areas in the country in the hands of the Jin people. It is impossible to restore the prosperity of the Renzong Dynasty and the Yingzong Dynasty with annual trade revenue of over 100 million. Otherwise, the Zhao Guan family would not wholeheartedly support Zhang Jun in sea trade.
The southeast and Bashu were the places with the heaviest taxation and corvee during the Jianyan period after Jingkang. They had no interest in the war in the north and relied solely on the prestige of the official family to suppress them. It made sense to make some appeasements before the war.
Not to mention, the southeast is a place where Taoists and retired officials gather. All complaints are trivial. Zhao and Song officials want to establish a new general, after all, they must pay tribute to these figures who once turned the tide of the country in times of crisis.
But the most controversial thing is the "rectification of names." The officials forced the two saints to recall the various shortcomings and mistakes in their interactions with the Kingdom of Jin. It was equivalent to asking them to publicly write memoirs in the newspaper. This kind of forcing the father and brother simply made them
It was even worse to place it in the Shaolin Temple and Dongxiao Palace. It was opposed by almost all famous Taoists and some elderly Confucian scholars. Even in the original school, there were many silent ones.
After all, China is a filial society. Zhao Jiu dared to treat Taishang Daojun and Emperor so harshly because the pain of Jingkang's shame was too intense. Every people of the Song Dynasty suffered endless pain, so they were a little too aggressive towards Zhao Jiu.
All words and deeds will fall on deaf ears. But this tolerance is not unlimited.
But then again, with the absolute authority of Emperor Zhao and Song over the years, who can really stop him from whatever he wants to do? Not even the three regent princes from the Kingdom of Jin.
So the final result was that the imperial court imitated Jing Kangzhong's famous court meeting and directly passed Zhang Jun's package plan by counting people's heads.
There was only one person who really protested fiercely, and that was Li Gang, the minister of integrity during the Jingkang period. Wu Yu knew that Zhao Guan's family was very angry that day, and did not even return to the harem. He went directly to Lu Gong's house for dinner.
After he came back, he had a dark face and didn't want to say a word. When Wu Yu saw this, he didn't even dare to hold his son out.
Wu Yu sat aside, gently calmed him down, and gave him a rare word of comfort, "The official family has suffered too many grievances for the country, but I was studying at the time, and I remember this sentence very firmly, it is ominous to receive the country.
, to be the king of the world..."
Zhao Guanjia smiled softly, then calmed down and said, "I understand what you said. This is not to doubt Li Boji's integrity, but just a little disappointed. Over the years, I have always thought that he and I have a tacit understanding.
"
From "I" to "I" now and then, it can be seen that Zhao Guanjia is speaking from his heart, but Wu Yu's political level is there, and it is impossible to say more profound words of comfort. If Zhao Guanjia's heart is so complicated
If it was easy to be persuaded, then Lu Haowen, Zhao Ding and Zhang Junjun would have already taken action together.
But without war and huge financial reforms, Wu Yu felt that time passed extremely fast. The entire seven years of Jianyan seemed to have passed more than half of it very quickly. She no longer cared much about many things between the outer dynasties.
, because raising children is really a physical job, and children seem to grow up when they see the wind. Yuan Zuo has learned to speak from babbling and has reached the age where he can clearly call "dad" and "aunt".
Wu Yu was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as being pregnant with her second child and received congratulations from some courtiers and wives.
Of course, Zhao Guan's family was not idle this year, and all his energy was used to dig out money. He carried out trade with Dali and Nanyue, not paying tribute but only focusing on money trade. Even Korea and Japan started by communicating by sea.
Afterwards, Wai Chaoshang not only auctioned off the food delivery slots in the family's main store, but also packed lunches for officials from various ministries. After doing these tricks, everyone was a lot more comfortable during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhao Guan's family issued
The gifts are much richer than in previous years.
But in winter, Zhao Guanjia, who was gradually growing a beard, still fell ill. Considering that he was already twenty-seven or eighty years old and spent many years in the military camp, inside and outside the court, and in the harem, he did not take this matter as a big deal at first.
Look, just treat it as an ordinary person. It is not uncommon for you to occasionally feel cold due to changes in the weather. After all, no one is invincible.
Wu Yu thought at first that it would be a good idea to give the parrot that Empress Dowager Wei bought to a sister of the official family, at least not to let him work so hard that he would get sick from exhaustion.
But just such an ordinary wind and cold made one person panic. That was Yang Yizhong, the leader of the Imperial Banzhi who was the most considerate to Zhao Guan's family.
It is said that he deprived Pan Guozhang of the right to use medicine in an almost rude and rude manner. Pan had to go straight to the street to grab every medicine. After mixing the medicine, she tried to drink a bowl first.
Not only was Pan Guozhang very angry about this, but Pan Guifei was crying profusely. If Zhao Jiu hadn't been so groggy due to illness, she would have come to cry and complain.
Of course, Wu Yu felt that she could not win even if she complained. Concubine Pan just couldn't understand the situation. How could they, the women in the harem, compare to Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other important ministers in the hearts of Zhao Guan's family? What about Yang Yizhong's close ministers?
But Wu Yu was very horrified to find that things were developing in a bad direction. According to Wu Yi, even the monthly fixed amount of Northern Expedition treasury bonds were unsaleable to a certain extent in Tokyo.
If this is still a matter of the foreign dynasty, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has to worry about it, then the next development will be even more unbearable.
It is said that when the official came to the throne, he promised to return the throne to the two saints when they returned. He did not allow peace talks for any other reason. He just wanted to kill the two saints, the Queen Mother and all the brothers, and enjoy the throne to himself. Even if there was his
Biological parents.
After the return of the Second Saint, instead of returning the great power, the officials directly imprisoned the father and brother in the temple. As for forcing the father and brother to write an insulting "Memoirs", blaming all the faults of the Jingkang Incident on the father and brother, this is even more indisputable.
It was an act of unfilial piety and disloyalty.
Not to mention, since the emperor ascended the throne, he has scraped off countless gold powder from the statues of Buddha and Taoist ancestors, and he has never been willing to go to the Eight Tombs in Luoyang to worship, which is why he incurred the heavenly punishment of his ancestors.
This is tantamount to tying together all the controversial things that Zhao Jiu has done since he ascended the throne. Don't be speechless now, even someone as heartless as Pan Guifei knows that this is a big deal. I heard that she has repeatedly asked for her
The maids and chamberlains should not spread the word too much, and any offenders will be beaten out. Pan Fei herself secretly went to the small Buddhist hall at night to kneel and pray for Zhao Jiu. For several days, Wu Yu saw that his eyes were red and swollen.
But even under this situation, outsiders said that the current heir was young and should return to Taishang Yuansheng, or at least a worthy successor should be selected from among the brothers in the clan.
If this is not possible, we should establish sons and successors, establish virtuous kings, and virtuous queens to govern the country.
This is of course extremely absurd. If the brothers of Zhao Guan's family were to succeed to the throne, wouldn't it be necessary to open Tokyo City and negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Jin the next day? Not to mention women in the harem like Wu Yu, not even all the members of the Secret Pavilion.
I will agree. Let’s talk about the children, the eldest son of the Zhao Guan family, he is only one and a half years old this year. If you still appoint the Queen Mother to assist the government, isn’t this going to repeat the mistakes of the Eastern Han Dynasty?
In the end, it was Emperor Zongzheng Zhao who turned the tide and challenged all members of the Secret Pavilion at the Secret Pavilion meeting, accusing them of not doing anything and allowing such rumors to plague the royal family.
At the same time, he also clearly pointed out that after the humiliation of Jingkang in Beishou, Emperor Taishang Daojun and all his heirs had lost the qualification to inherit the throne, and then formally submitted a memorial, asking for the establishment of a prince. He seemed to be an honest man.
I was also driven into panic and made the most extreme reaction.
At this time, Wu Yu, the person involved, also had a bit of a backlash. The Zhao Guan family has been avoiding them these days. But judging from the frequency of meeting the third princess in the past two days, he does not seem to be seriously ill.
Based on his many years of experience serving the emperor, Wu Yu suspected that Zhao Guan's family was pretending to be ill, just to see if anyone really dared to cause trouble while he was seriously ill.
Wu Yu's suspicion was not groundless. As early as last month, when Zhao Guan's family was really sick, he was rushed aside by Privy Councilor Zhang Jun when he was serving. The monarch and his ministers had a secret discussion. If
If anyone among the courtiers can best guess the official will, then this Prime Minister Zhang is the best.
At this time, the clans from all over the country also reacted. Liu Yan, the person who collected the secrets, was almost busy because they all claimed to have no talent and virtue, and then asked for the crown prince.
Wu Yu had no time to think too much, because her place was once again crowded with compliments. She completely ignored that Mrs. Wu was still pregnant.
