Chapter 1578: Everyone's impassioned, Xiuwangfu brothers and sisters
Chapter 1578: Everyone is impassioned, showing off the brothers and sisters in the palace
After the death of Emperor Qian Shun, his daughter directly became the Queen Mother, and he gradually gained military power by suppressing some tribes.
After controlling great military power, he sought to enter the court. King Pu Li Renzhong said to the emperor, "This man is not of my race and must have two intentions" and opposed Ren Dejing's entry into the court.
However, the Yue King Li Renyou and many of the courtiers he bribed agreed.
Li Renxiao had no choice but to let Ren Dejing enter the court and soon promoted him to the position of Prime Minister.
One man got the Tao, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and after Ren Dejing became the prime minister, his family also successively entered the court and held important positions as officials! Up to now, his younger brother Ren Decong is the prefect of the palace, and his younger brother Ren Degong is the governor of Xingqing Mansion. His younger brother Ren Deren was appointed as the envoy of the Southern Court and his nephew Ren Chunzhong was appointed as the Deputy Privy Councilor to carry out the imperial edict!
It is enough to show how powerful his family is in the Xia court! In addition, he is connected with the King of Yue and has the Queen Mother sitting in the palace. The power of this respected guard of honor is not inferior to that of Emperor Li Renxiao.
The King of Yue, Li Renyou, also wanted to use the power of the Ren family to seek the throne.
The biggest purpose of their mission to the Song Dynasty this time was to indirectly provide Li Renyou with the opportunity to command the army! As long as Li Renyou commanded the army and combined with Ren Dejing's forces, he could defeat Li Renxiao's forces and become the emperor.
As for the joint dispatch of troops by Liao and Xia, it was indeed true, but most of what he said to Shen Tang was just bragging or deception.
After Shen Tang and Li Duo left the official post and returned to the Yamen, people from the Ministry of Rites also made suggestions to Shen Tang.
"Lord Shen, recovering your homeland is something your Majesty has been working on for a long time.
And this time, it is indeed an excellent opportunity! Although what these people said may not be all accurate, it is not false to think of sending troops in several directions! As long as the Xia Kingdom, Liao Kingdom, and the northern Mongolian tribes can attack Wowo, they can contain the Jin Dynasty. If most of the country’s troops and horses are lost, then our Song Dynasty’s troops and horses can take advantage of the situation and sneak in!”
"Even if we can only bring Bianzhou back, it will be enough to comfort many ancestors."
"What Mr. Geng said is true. If all countries send troops, how can the Jin Kingdom hold on no matter how powerful it is?"
"That's right! It is the wish of all Song people to send troops northward.
Although the peace treaty was just signed last year, in order to regain the homeland, there is no need to talk about benevolence and justice with these barbarians now.
Come to think of it, as long as the grandeur of the Taizu Dynasty is restored, so what if there is a mere stigma?"
Looking at these impassioned people, Shen Tang really didn't know what to say! He jumped in when he saw an advantage and retreated when he saw difficulties. He only looked at the superficial gains and losses and didn't even think about whether there were traps underneath the delicacies in front of him. and conspiracy.
Li Duo frowned and glanced around. After everyone shut up, he looked at Shen Tang and asked, "What do you think, sir!"
"Don't rush to reply to them now, I want to think about it.
Moreover, although the officials have ordered me to take responsibility, after all, it is a major matter related to the country and the country, so I must go to Lin'an as soon as possible to discuss it with the officials!"
"However, I think they will come to you in the next two days to inquire about my intentions, and you can tell them that I do not plan to send troops for the time being!"
"Why is this?"
Li Duo asked doubtfully.
"Since it is what they are asking for, if they really send troops, they will naturally have to pay some price! Moreover, they will also find a way to get you to help them explain it in front of me! This request for help cannot be in vain.
They also want to shed some blood, but I will ignore these matters.
Just think of it as a small gift from me to you..."
Li Duo left with a group of people with different expressions. Sure enough, in the next few days, members of the Xia Kingdom mission kept inviting Li Duo and others to talk!
There were a lot of gifts of all kinds and even banknotes that were secretly stuffed in. As a result, a group of people from the etiquette department started laughing with these people, and their pockets all bulged.
I have no choice but to accept bribes under orders without having to take responsibility. Where can I find such a good thing?
In Lin'an City, northwest of Wangxian Bridge, adjacent to the Imperial Medical Bureau and Tongjiang Bridge, there is a huge mansion. On the plaque of this mansion, there are the words "Prince Xiu's Mansion" written on it.
This is the residence of Zhao Shen's biological father, Zhao Zicheng. Although Zhao Zicheng was a brother of Zhao Gou, he was not very prominent at that time and only served as the county magistrate in Xiushui.
Later, although he died early, after Zhao Shen became emperor, he naturally wanted to posthumously title his biological father, and this was how he received the title of King Xiu.
In addition, he was given the posthumous title Anxi, so he was also called King Xiu'anxi.
In any case, they are the emperor's biological parents, so the house covers an area of about two to three hundred acres!
It is about 100 feet from east to west and more than one mile from north to south. The houses inside are connected and the scenery is diverse. The main hall is the "Xiu'an Hall" personally gifted by the emperor, but Zhao Ling spends most of his time living in a house in the northwest corner near the back garden.
Although this house is huge, there were only two serious owners, mother and daughter. This is why Zhao Ling doesn't like living in this large and empty house.
Now, my brother Zhao Bogui is observing mourning at home. As the only male owner of this house, he naturally lives in the main hall.
In the Xiu'an Hall, the two brothers and sisters sat opposite each other! In comparison, although Zhao Bogui loved Zhao Ling very much, he was serious, and Zhao Ling was not as cheerful in front of him as in front of Zhao Shen.
"Brother, won't you accompany me to the palace to see the emperor today?"
Hearing his sister's nondescript name, Zhao Bogui couldn't help but frown! As the emperor's brother, he has always been cautious and extremely responsible.
He knew that his younger brother became the emperor, and he wanted to do the same even more.
Although legally he and Zhao Shen no longer have any brotherhood, as long as he causes anything, Zhao Shen will definitely be implicated.
Therefore, in these years, he was not only cautious and diligent as an official, but even if the court wanted to promote him several times, he declined them all.
Not only that, but even the servants, maids, etc. at home are just enough.
All property, land, and even all that could be donated were donated.
The purpose is to make my brothers feel a little lighter.
He was happy but also a little worried about his sister's closeness to the emperor! With Zhao Shen's care, his sister would naturally not feel any grievance, but I'm afraid some people would secretly say that his family was close to the royal family and did not know how to be favored!
"I won't go because of my brother! Now that the empress is here, I'm afraid the officials are also feeling sad! Go over and comfort her, but don't say too much!"
"Guangling knows!"
While the two brothers and sisters were talking, the old housekeeper of the mansion hurriedly walked in. After saluting the two brothers and sisters, he handed a letter to Zhao Bogui, "Master, this is the letter sent from the inn just now..."
