Chapter 1547: Unfilial Zhao Dun, Chaos in Lin'an City
Chapter 1547: Unfilial Zhao Dun creates chaos in Lin’an City
With such a queen, Zhao Dun's mental illness naturally became more severe.
Not only that, under Li Fengniang's instigation, these two people were extremely unfilial to Zhao Shen.
Although Zhao Shen was the adopted son of Zhao Gou and had many disagreements with Zhao Gou on government affairs, he was extremely filial to Zhao Gou.
Not to mention the money given to Zhao Gou, as long as he has free time, he will fulfill his filial piety in front of Zhao Gou. If Zhao Gou is ill, Zhao Shen will be undressed and take care of him in front of the bed.
However, God has no eyes for such a filial person, but his son is unfilial.
In addition, after Zhao Dun's son Zhao Kuo succeeded to the throne, he first set up the party and government, then trusted traitors, failed to recognize his own strength and provoked a war with the Jin Kingdom, directly destroying the family fortune that Zhao Shen had saved for decades. …
No matter how you say it, Zhao Dun is by no means a good candidate for emperor.
As for Zhao Shen's second son, Zhao Kai, he was supposed to succeed him in order, but Zhao Kai was dull by nature and Zhao Gou didn't like it. In addition, Zhao Dun was deceived and slandered behind his back, so Zhao Kai had no chance of being crowned emperor.
However, no matter what, it is the best choice for Zhao Xiao to live.
As the eldest son, Zhao Ming was loved by Zhao Shen and Zhao Gou. Judging from previous contacts, his character was not pure, but he could be regarded as a diligent and ambitious person. As long as he did not die and successfully inherited the throne in the future, the Song Dynasty would be able to continue for a hundred more years. Years of life! Otherwise, even if Shen Tang can help Zhao Shen stabilize the world, he will never be able to withstand Zhao Dun and his wife Huo Huo in the future.
As for the cause of Zhao Ming's death, there are no detailed records in history! It is just said that starting from this year, his health was a little bad. After the death of Queen Xia, it began to get worse. In the end, the imperial doctor made a mistake in using medicine, which made the illness irreversible and died.
Shen Tang scoffed at this statement! The imperial doctors in the palace must have good medical skills, and as long as it was not a life-or-death situation, they must be cautious and gentle in using medicine. How could they misuse medicine and cause the prince to die suddenly?
Shen Tang would never believe that there was no one playing tricks on this.
If we look at the historical cause and effect, the person behind this incident is either Prince Enping or Zhao Dun!
Shen Tang thought for a full hour, then took out pen and paper and solemnly wrote two secret letters!
"These two letters must be sent to Lin'an as quickly as possible! This one must be handed over to the Prime Minister personally, and the other one must be handed over to the king!"
As Shen Tang, Shen Tang cannot personally intervene in the matter of Prince Zhao, but it is convenient to operate it through the hands of Wang Quan. Of course, it is impossible to explain this matter to Wang Quan, and Wang Quan will not personally intervene either. Intervene.
However, as the eunuch beside Zhao Shen, Wang Quan naturally has countless means.
As long as the people in the palace and around Zhao Su wake up a little, that's enough!
Of course, if Zhao Ming's fate could not be changed, Shen Tang would not be afraid! At most, a few decades later, Zhao Shen would be enthroned, and he would live in seclusion in a corner with his wives and daughters. With the power in his hands, he was afraid that Zhao Dun would not be able to do it. ?
"Deploy the matters in Chengdu Mansion as soon as possible! You have to keep an eye on some important positions in person. If you don't kill the snake, there will be endless troubles. Now that you have taken action, you must not leave any hidden dangers! In addition, all the sins of these two families must be wiped out. If you gather them together, you will be able to deal with the imperial court and appease the people in the future."
"Don't worry, sir!"
Just as Shen Tang guessed, the news of the civil strife in Jin still reached Lin'an! Moreover, Zhao Shen had already sent word that the imperial court would discuss countermeasures in three days.
As soon as the news came out, the entire court and even the entire city of Lin'an suddenly felt their lungs aching.
Some people strongly supported sending troops again and took the opportunity to go to war with the Jin Kingdom to regain their homeland. Others felt that the Jin Kingdom was too powerful to send troops and they should sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
It wouldn't be surprising if this was just the case, but what's even more troublesome is that there are huge contradictions and conflicts within the peace faction and the war faction.
In the past, the Zhuhe faction believed that stability was the most important, and that the Jin Kingdom was too strong to start a war. This was true for Ye Yong, Tang Si Tui, Chen Kangbai and others.
However, in the past few years, the Warring Faction has continued to gain strength in the court, and Shen Tang has even been granted a title based on his military exploits, which made some members of the Warring Faction feel that they cannot remain silent like this.
Instead, they should take this opportunity to start a war and improve their control of troops and horses, as well as the merits of some of their generals.
Otherwise, Shen Tang will be the only one in the current military, and the Zhuhe faction will have no one to use.
Moreover, after Liu Gong became the privy envoy, although he has not taken any major actions, there are already signs of rectification in the army. If he does not take this opportunity to tidy up the army, once Liu Gong takes action in the future, it is hard to say what the consequences will be for Liu Gong. Some of the troops and horses under control will definitely become the target of public criticism.
As a result, people with two different views within the Peace Party first tried to convince each other, and then started to argue constantly. Before the dispute in the court even started, they themselves had already become a mess.
Especially now that Zhu Zhuo has returned to his hometown, the remaining Ye Yong and Tang Si have lost a few reputations. Not only are they difficult to convince each other, but they are also busy appeasing all the officials under their command. They are really busy. .
This is true for the peace faction, and the situation for the war faction is not much better either.
Originally, the main war faction supported war with the Jin Kingdom, but now that the time is right, how could they give up?
However, some people feel that the current combat power of the Song Dynasty's soldiers and horses is low, and there is no one except Shen Tang and his family who can use it.
Furthermore, although a Northern Expedition and a defense against the enemy were not considered failures, the Song Dynasty did not take any advantage.
Now that the peace agreement has just been signed, if the Song Dynasty takes the initiative to tear it up, how will the Song Dynasty deal with it once the Jin State slows down and the two countries fight again?
All in all, the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty became a mess, and there was already a quarrel in private...
In a two-entry house next to Wangxian Bridge, two men were leaning on a stone table playing a game of black and white. The black and white pieces were intertwined on the chessboard, but the white piece was clearly at a disadvantage.
The black-faced man holding the black piece made another one, and then said with a smile, "Lianggan, your chess game is not good. If you lose this game again, you will lose three games in a row. Please be the host tonight." Already."
The red-faced man opposite rolled his eyes, "You, Zhang Anguo, are the top talent, so I am no match for you!"
This black-faced man is none other than Zhang Xiaoxiang, who had an acquaintance with Shen Tang in Shanyin County back then! Zhang Xiaoxiang is not well-known, but his qualifications are extraordinary and he is a real genius child.
It is said that he had a photographic memory for reading and was extremely quick in thinking.
In the 24th year of Shaoxing, he was selected as the number one scholar by Zhao Gou, and the same scholars were Fan Chengda, Yu Yunwen, Yang Wanli... It is enough to show Zhang Xiaoxiang's talent and learning.
As for the other red-faced man, his name is Yin Zhen and his courtesy name is Liangqian, he is the admonishing doctor of Jingyuan!
