Since the completion of the war to quell the Xixia, the court affairs have been busy, and Fu Bi and the cabinet have intentionally or unintentionally avoided discussing the attack on the prince. In the past six months, except for Zhao Xi's regular participation in the cabinet's regular meetings, even Zhao Xi has not
I don't care about the decrease in gatherings now.
In court affairs, apart from making necessary decisions, Zhao Xi's entire mind was focused on the attack on the prince.
The most important matter for the court during this period was the takeover of the area originally controlled by the party members... This was all formulated by Zhao Xi before the end of the war.
When it came to the stage of specific operations, there were not many matters that required the king's decision. These ministers of the Song Dynasty were very good at manipulating party members.
"The official announced that all the cabinet members will meet..."
Wang Zhongzheng's serious expression made everyone in the cabinet a little confused. They all looked at the prince, who also looked confused.
It seems that there is nothing important in the court, and all the cabinets need to be discussed.
The atmosphere is not very good. Even though there are officials and the maids and eunuchs in the Qinzheng Palace, all the cabinet members can feel the depressing atmosphere after entering the palace...
"Zhongzheng, please submit the completed investigation report to all the cabinet ministers..."
With this sentence, Qinzheng Palace fell into silence again, except for the sound of cabinet members flipping through papers, there was no other sound.
The investigation report is very long, and after being sorted out by the Supervisory Office, it is also very long and contains various supporting materials.
The investigation report is in chronological order, using the detailed process of the investigation to connect the various links to form a careful plan, and ultimately to the aftermath of the failed attack on the prince...
When the second prince promoted the supervision system in the court, he took advantage of the situation to stir up some incidents, promoted the promotion of changes, and deliberately showed his strategic abilities. At that time, the courtiers thought it was arranged by the official... Of course, Zhao Xi
Just inference.
After getting involved in government affairs and not getting approval from the officials, he chose to go out to practice.
Passing through Jinghu Road, I'm not sure what the purpose was, but on Jinghu Road I came into contact with Xing Shu, who was demoted from Beijing. At the same time, I came into contact with people related to water transportation, whose efficiency was declining day by day because of the imperial government's development of rail transportation.
Then he turned west and met Cai Jing, who was also unappreciated for his talent. He went in and out of Dali many times. He had the identity of a relative, had many years of experience in Dali, and even had records of contact with officials in the mining city.
These seemingly unrelated contacts were launched after the imperial court destroyed Xixia!
The prince went out of the palace to gain experience, and even took part in major exams. However, the court did not impose any order on whether the prince should hold office. In this regard, it was based on kinship laws to a certain extent.
Therefore, apart from necessary protection, the court does not impose restrictions on the prince's behavior. The key is that there are variables in the heir to the throne until the final moment.
After the prince received a systematic classical education, it was beneficial to the court to go out of the palace to experience and understand the sufferings of the people. The court did not need to go to the end.
It is precisely because of this that even though the prince has been appointed and the prince is serving abroad, the court's recognition of the prince remains the same.
Before Daqing after the annihilation of Xixia, Cai Jing reminded Cai Bian, who served in the Ministry of Rites, that the prince should attend the Daqing... If the officials refused on this matter, or were not so resolute, maybe the prince would not
There will be attacks. This means that the official family is not yet sure of the heir to the unification.
When the imperial court ordered the prince to come to Beijing, it meant that the prince was pushed to the forefront...
In a hurry, Cai Jing took the second prince's handwriting and mobilized muskets from Dali to enter the country. Xing Shu used the excuse of training young men to hide the truth and organize some people in the water transport.
Whether it is Yangtze River shipping or Grand Canal shipping, there are constant ships on the waterway, making it difficult to carry out attacks. Therefore, there is a setting where the ship on which the prince is riding is leaking.
The grand ceremony of the imperial court was at a time determined by the Qin Tian Jian, so the prince had to go to Beijing by land. Therefore, there was the incident of the prince being attacked at Funiu Mountain...
This is not a guess, it is a fact supported by evidence after investigation by the Imperial City Division.
No matter how long the investigation report is, there is a time to finish reading it. After reading it, no one spoke, even the prince was full of bitterness. He couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to make suggestions.
The ministers may not know it, but the prince knows how much his father values family ties...
"Official family······"
Anyone could shut up and avoid getting involved in this matter, but Fu Bi had no choice but to run away. He was the prime minister. However, after he called out "official", he couldn't continue. He didn't know what to say.
"Prime Minister, let's not talk about what I haven't said yet. The reason why I summoned all the ministers is not to discuss, but to report. The report of the investigation results of the incident is also a report of my decision to take measures!"
"On this matter, I don't need any advice from the elders, but I need the cooperation of the entire court to implement it!"
"The Imperial City Department mobilized people to monitor all the princes who went out for training first, and punished them according to the situation."
"The Supervisory Yamen sent people from the headquarters to directly control Cai Jing and Xing Shu and escort them back to Beijing as soon as possible. At the same time, the Supervisory General Yamen stopped Cai Que and Cai Bian's official duties and dealt with them later!"
"I don't want to get involved, but I want to be prepared for any troubles in this dynasty where family comes first."
"All the troops stationed along the water transport route will raid the water transport yamen in various places and control all the water transport officials. The Ministry of Household Affairs, City Yi Temple, State-owned Temple, and the Railway Party will jointly control the water transport yamen and wait for processing!"
"Finally, Zhang Dun was ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the southern expedition, and Zhou Tong, Wang Shunchen, and Zhong Jianzhong were appointed as the vanguard. They assembled a hundred thousand new troops and set off southward that day."
"The purpose of this war is to incorporate Dali into the territory of the country... At that time, we will contact Zheng Xia to stabilize all forces in Dali, and adopt a combination of suppression and appeasement to stabilize Dali as quickly as possible..."
"Gentlemen, please don't tell me that you have just passed away. It's not a good time to start a border provocation. Not to mention that the army is about to decline. There is no need for Dali to spend much money on the new army!"
"Since Dali dares to interfere in the internal affairs of the country, he should be prepared to be destroyed!"
Zhao Xi was really murderous at this moment, and everyone could feel it.
"In the official family, I think that Wang Shao is more suitable for this position than Zhang Dun..."
"Is Wang Ge always cruel and ruthless because of Jiang Zi's kindness? This is exactly the characteristic I want to use! The decline of the previous dynasty caused trouble to Nanzhao."
"My idea is to nip the danger in its infancy! Only Zhang Zihou is suitable!"
Since Zhao Xi was giving a briefing, he was not prepared to accept anyone's advice, nor was he prepared to make any adjustments or changes.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Xi just wants to express an attitude. Anyone who tries to interfere in the succession of Datong will be killed without mercy!
