Chapter 2046 Emperor Song's Zen position, unifying the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains
Xiao Tang's reply was firm, leaving no room for maneuver, and then he hit Zhao Huan again. Fan Tong's words implied: Do it absolutely, which will certainly arouse the resentment and hatred of those staunch officials who are still loyal to the Song Dynasty.
, and there are rumors of slandering the monarch of the Qi Dynasty, but whether it is gentleness to maintain stability, or excessive and cruel methods, as long as the two countries of Song and Qi can be merged once and for all, the common people of Li and Qi, who have the same roots, no longer have to be in opposition.
It eradicated the hidden danger of fighting between the soldiers and civilians of the two dynasties in the Central Plains... Therefore, even if it caused temporary notoriety, it would be a lasting achievement. If Zhao Huan, an official of the Song Dynasty, was stubborn and refused to comply, Xiao Tang would definitely be ruthless.
After all, the king of a country must be decisive in killing. Unless it is a time of peace and prosperity, when it comes to the long-term situation of the two empires, a good old man cannot be a good emperor.
Hearing that Xiao Tang's words revealed the threat of murder, Zhao Gou and Fan Tong were even more frightened and panicked, seeing that what Xiao Tang said was true. Zhao Gou had no choice but to obey Xiao Tang's arrangement and was temporarily detained in the Qi Dynasty army.
, Fan Tong was sent back to convey Xiao Tang's will to Zhao Huan. All the troops and horses of the Qi army and the gates of the inner city of Bianjing were reorganized for a while, but they were still ready to launch an all-out attack.
Fan Tong, who knew that the Song Dynasty was over, thought about it on the way back and had already thought of a way to report to Zhao Huan...
At dusk that day, Zhao Huan, who had lost his soul, and even the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji, who had been living in the deep palace for a long time, were accompanied by several ministers and eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and tiptoed to the gate tower of the main gate of the inner city of Bianjing. The pair looked desolate.
The Hunjun father and his son looked around the city with sorrowful expressions. They were slaying the majestic troops of the Qi Dynasty. They were still unable to bear the attack of the powerful enemy. They were once again threatened by the enemy's army. Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan looked at each other sadly, and they couldn't help but feel sad.
Come.
The place where the street fighting took place in the outer city of Bianjing has been cleaned up, and various teams of Qi army officers and soldiers have taken turns to appease the people in the city. Many restaurants and shops have actually opened their doors and continue to operate. The people are going about their own lives as usual, and there are even a lot of people.
The citizens came to offer cakes, pastries, and tea to reward the Qi Dynasty soldiers. The scene was not at all like an imperial capital captured by an enemy country, but more like a famous city and important place that had been under the rule of the Qi Dynasty for a long time...
When Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan saw this situation, the feelings of shame and sorrow could not help but surge out of their hearts. What choices should they make, father and son, in such a predicament now to try their best?
Preserve the stable life of the Zhao clan...
That night, when Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan summoned the other officials in the inner city to discuss the decision in detail, they could not help but beat their chests and feet and howled bitterly. Later, they were helped back to the palace to rest by the chamberlain, and they could not sleep at night.
The next day, two hours before the one-day deadline set by Xiao Tang, the gates of the inner city of Bianjing were opened wide. Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji were both wearing crimson robes covering their knees, white socks and black robes, and Fan Tong was holding a cup in his hand.
After receiving the imperial edict for the Zen throne, he was surrounded by a group of sad-looking courtiers and walked out of the city, accepted the edict of Xiao and Tang, and formally declared his submission to the Qi Dynasty.
Seeing the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers walking out of the inner city with their heads bowed, the soldiers of the Qi Dynasty suddenly burst into thunderous cheers, one after another, just like the roar of the mountains and the tsunami. There were also many people in Bianjing surrounding them cheering together, shouting "Long live the mountains."
As for Zhao Huan's imperial edict to cede the throne of the Song Dynasty to the Xiao, Tang, and Qi dynasties: The emperor of the Song Dynasty said: "The Great Road travels, and the world is public. In the past, Emperor Yao's Zen was located in Yu and Shun, and Shun's Zen was located in Yu. It is not private to Jue."
Son, the time is just right, so my reputation spreads to infinity. This is the only way to see the destiny of heaven and return to virtue. In fact, I have no emperor's wisdom, so that the Central Plains is in chaos, the group of evil people are rebelling, the inner world is overturned, and I am hanging by the danger of the Jin people and the external invaders.
Fortunately, your majesty, the Qi Dynasty, drove away the chaos and evil, established the mountains and rivers, and restored the country from danger. The people were nourished, the country was established, and our ancestral temple was protected. All because of your majesty's martial arts and virtue.
Now I have observed the people's hearts and know that the general trend of fortune depends on the Xiao family of the Shangguo. Your Majesty, you are gifted with talents, make great achievements, help the world and help the people in need. Although I don't know, I haven't found a way to adapt, how can I dare to go against the destiny?
, the auxiliary virtues. You must carefully abide by the legacy of the past generations, follow the emperors Yao, Yu, and Shun, and your Majesty will be in Zen. Please accept the emperor's seal and ribbon to visit Liuhe. According to the stories of Tang, Yu, Han, Wei, Zhou and Song,
Announce it to the world, and the envoys will know it!
The two-hundred-word edict on the throne of Zen is neither longer nor shorter than the abdication documents submitted by the last monarch of a country to powerful ministers or other countries in the past dynasties. After all, Zhao Huan blamed himself for his sins as usual and declared Zen.
position, and it is difficult to explain Xiao Tang's deeds of rebelling and self-reliance for the Song Dynasty. Although it cannot be said that it was done hastily, but with the current state of mind of Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji, the great country and country had to be handed over to the Qi Dynasty. They must have felt the same in their hearts.
It was extremely sad. Zhemo just pretended to be the emperor of the Song Dynasty and had other officials ghostwrite it. He had no intention of showing off his writing style and praising Xiao Tang and flattering him.
Since he accepted the Zen position of the Song Emperor as the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, Xiao Tang did not have to follow the etiquette of a minister when accepting the edict, but he still had to go through formal procedures such as offering sacrifices to the heaven and earth and the five mountains and four mountains. Guarding the imperial palace in the inner city of Bianjing
As expected, all the officers and soldiers of the Ban Zhi Imperial Army abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Instead, Xiao Tang ordered Lin Chong to dispatch several groups of troops and horses to temporarily enter the main palace. While guarding the entrance, he also ordered to attack the Song Ting Er who was deep in the inner courtyard of the palace.
The emperor's concubines and the clan's children should only be watched and restrained, but not disturbed.
Although he was disgusted with Zhao Huan in his heart, he was as weak and frightened as he expected, and he really gave up the country of Song Dynasty to his hands, which also saved the sons of the Han family in the Central Plains from having to continue the internal strife and confrontation, and his appearance was natural
He still had to give him a good face. Xiao Tang gave him good words and comforted him. Now he was still wearing a sad face, and he had done his best to be a respectful minister. Zhao Huan, who no longer had the majesty of a king, said a few words and immediately looked at him.
What, he looked at Zhao Ji who was standing solemnly and solemnly.
But Xiao Tang didn't know that he was kidnapped to the bitter cold land in the northeast without following the original trajectory. Zhao Ji, who could not bear the humiliation and torture to death, was able to return to the Bianjing Palace to enjoy peace and health. Although the extremely painful lesson at the beginning also taught Zhao Ji that he regretted it.
I felt deeply guilty, but I was depressed for a period of time, but I was still able to rest in peace in the palace. Now I am close to sixty years old, and my body and bones are still strong and healthy. However, since Xiao Tang sent his army to kill Bianjing City, there are also imperial guards.
The soldiers of the battalion rebelled and opened the city gates, coordinating the Qi army to rush into the capital... Until Zhao Huan and Zhao Huan finally decided on Xiao Tang's conditions and handed over the imperial power according to the imperial edict of the Zen throne, Zhao Ji was filled with sorrow overnight.
Not only did his face seem to have several more ravines, but many white hairs were exposed on his sideburns and beard, making him look much older immediately.
Xiao Tang then walked straight to Zhao Ji, who was now performing the courtesy of a minister, sighed, and then said in a long voice: "Guan family, I will call you Guan family for the last time. In fact, you created thin gold calligraphy, and your writing style is vigorous."
Yi, the idea is natural, and the poetry, calligraphy, seal, form and spirit are both combined, and the objects are given shapes, and they can be obtained at will. The pen drives the creation, originates from the ends of the hair, and all things have their own physiology. It can really be called a genius. When I was in
When Bianjing was a minister of the Song Dynasty, you were also very casual and tolerant... It's a pity that you were so arrogant and extravagant, indulged and spoiled the party, and exhausted the people's strength.
He was ruined and humiliated, and he almost taught Jin foreign invaders to invade the Central Plains...
You lose your ambition by playing with things, and you lose your life by indulging in lust. If you are a famous calligrapher or a famous painter, you will definitely be able to leave a good name in history. But by chance, you cannot be the emperor of a country. Doing so will harm the country and the people, and will bring disasters to you.
You know it well. Now that you can move to the fiefdom and enjoy leisure, you and the descendants of the clan will not have to worry about food and clothing, and you no longer have to worry about imperial power and state affairs. You can live in peace and contentment... In your free time, just make more calligraphy and famous paintings, I guess.
Paintings in calligraphy and painting can be passed down to future generations. According to my opinion, this is the most suitable destination for you."
After Zhao Ji heard what Xiao Tang said, a look of surprise flashed across his sad face. It was clear that this rebellious minister had taken away his Song family, country, country and country, but somehow, Zhao Ji actually agreed with Xiao Tang a little.
His thoughts were very complicated. After a while, Zhao Ji tremblingly kowtowed to Xiao Tang and said with a crying voice: "I... remember the teachings of the Holy One and thank the Emperor for his kindness!"
