Eight hundred and seventieth chapters the power of the world's great governor
After just one glance, Chu Yi couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Zhao Gou, who was standing with Zhao Yu, in surprise.
To be honest, Chu Yi would have a high regard for Song Gaozong, who would establish the Southern Song Dynasty in the future. After all, without Zhao Gou, the Song Dynasty would not have been able to continue for more than a hundred years, but Zhao Gou had many qualities as king.
A place that is criticized by people.
He just glanced at it, but Chu Yi was quite surprised by the content of the imperial edict in his hand. What Chu Yi didn't expect was that Zhao Gou had such courage. You must know that Zhao Gou could force Zhao Ji to write this.
The edict of passing the throne shows its excellence, although it is said that Zhao Gou succeeded in threatening Zhao Ji when he took advantage of the chaos in the capital and Zhao Ji lost control of the capital.
However, with such courage and determination, he is much stronger than the weak prince trapped in the East Palace.
Zhang Shuye, Zhong Shidao and others on the side turned their eyes between Zhao Gou and Chu Yi, especially the imperial edict that Zhao Gou took out. To be honest, they were really curious about what was written on this edict.
What exactly is the content.
Chu Yi scanned the imperial edict and handed it to Zhongshidao who was aside and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Zhong, you might as well take a look."
Zhong Shidao was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse. He took the imperial edict calmly. However, at first glance, Zhong Shidao was startled. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Gou, with a somewhat strange expression in his eyes.
Come on.
Zhong Shidao looked at Zhao Gou with ups and downs in his heart. He thought that the Song Dynasty royal family was almost hopeless, but he never thought that there was a person like Zhao Gou.
With the wisdom of a master, he could roughly guess what happened in it just by looking at this imperial edict. He knew Zhao Ji very well. Zhao Ji would never have written such a biography if he was not forced.
edict.
The fact that Zhao Gou was able to force Zhao Ji made Zhong Shidao look at him with admiration.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Shidao held the imperial edict in both hands and handed it back to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi looked at Zhao Gou with a half-smile but said: "Mr. Chu has already read the imperial edict, but I just don't know what His Highness Prince Kang has to say?"
Zhao Gou stared at Chu Yi, with a somewhat dignified look in his eyes and said slowly: "I also ask the Prince of Guangyang to help me ascend to the throne. If successful, I will definitely live up to the prince."
Chu Yi smiled and said: "Oh, the prince is obviously the most suitable candidate, why do you think I gave up the prince and chose you, His Highness Prince Kang?"
Zhao Gou gritted his teeth, stared at Chu Yi and said: "Because I am more suitable to be the leader of the Song Dynasty than the prince."
After saying this, Zhao Gou couldn't help but feel anxious. Zhao Gou was betting. He was betting that his performance would be appreciated by Chu Yi, and he was also betting on whether Chu Yi had the ability to become emperor.
ambition.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Gou's forehead. You must know that Zhao Gou has a supreme master level cultivation. It is very difficult to sweat with such cultivation, but at this moment, his forehead is full of sweat.
Pearl, it can be seen how nervous Zhao Gou's heart was at this time.
If the bet succeeds, then he will be the king of a country. If the bet goes wrong, with the ability and ambition he has shown today, he may not survive today. It is a matter of life and death. It is expected that Zhao Gou would react like this.
.
Even though they didn't know the content of the imperial edict that Zhao Gou had produced earlier, listening to the conversation between Zhao Gou and Chu Yi, the people on the side couldn't help but look horrified.
For example, Zongze, Zhang Shuye and others were full of admiration for Zhao Gou because of Zhao Gou's performance, and they secretly praised that there was such an outstanding prince in the royal family.
But in the blink of an eye, Zhao Gou actually made no secret of his ambition in front of them, and actually wanted Chu Yi to help him ascend to the throne. This made everyone couldn't help but sweat for Zhao Gou.
Compared with the weak and controllable prince Zhao Huanlai, Zhao Gou, who had such scheming and means, was naturally more suitable to be the king of a country for the entire Song Dynasty. However, if you stand from Chu Yi's point of view, no matter Chu Yi
If you want to be a powerful minister, you still have to usurp the Song Dynasty, so the most unacceptable person is probably a figure like Zhao Gou in the Song Dynasty royal family.
Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Yi. In fact, at this moment, Chu Yi's single thought was related to the future of the Song Dynasty.
Just when Zhao Gou thought he had no hope, Chu Yi suddenly looked at Zhao Gou and said, "King Kang, let me ask you, what would you do if you were the king?"
Zhao Gou was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help showing surprise in the depths of his eyes. He quickly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and tried hard to stay calm.
This is a test for him by Chu Yi. If his answer can satisfy Chu Yi, then he has hope of gaining Chu Yi's appreciation and support.
With his mind spinning, Zhao Gou first bowed to Chu Yi and said: "If I were a king, I would worship the prince as the general manager of the world's military affairs. I would be in charge of the military affairs of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, I would give him the title of the country and respect the prince as the king of the Song Dynasty."
…”
Everyone on the sidelines was dumbfounded, and secretly sighed in their hearts that Zhao Gou really dared to make a promise, whether it was the title or the military power, Chu Yi would become a generation of powerful ministers that no one could compete with, even if he dethroned the emperor.
None of it is a problem.
However, in the face of the promise made by Zhao Gou, Chu Yi's expression remained unchanged. He thought that in the Ming Dynasty, all the power of the Ming Dynasty was in his hands, but he gave it up as soon as he said it would be given up, without the slightest nostalgia. Therefore, he had no nostalgia for the supreme power.
Chu Yi really doesn't have much interest in it. If Zhao Gou really only has this little thought, then forget it.
Seeing Chu Yi's unmoving expression, Zhao Gou's heart thumped, he gritted his teeth and said impassionedly: "With the help of the prince, I will launch a large-scale military campaign, re-employ military generals, rectify the government, and be strong externally, in order to revive the Song Dynasty and save the building.
It’s about to fall…”
Zhongshi Dao on the side couldn't help but praise: "Well said!"
Not to mention cultivating the way of teaching, even Zhang Shuye, Zongze and others on the side were excited when they heard this. They looked at Zhao Gou as if they were looking at the hope of the Song Dynasty.
However, after hearing what Zhao Gou said, Chu Yi couldn't help but look at him in surprise. To be honest, what Zhao Gou said was really beyond Chu Yi's expectation.
After all, who Zhao Gou is has been proven by history. In his early years, he was indeed a rare hero among princes. Perhaps it was because of his many missions to the Jin camp before he ascended the throne that he developed a phobia of gold. As a result, before he ascended the throne,
After that, instead of actively resisting the Jin people, they suppressed the loyal ministers and good generals who resisted the Jin people. Whether it was deposing Han Shizhong, killing Yue Fei on unfounded charges, and re-employing the Zhuhe faction, it is difficult to compare the Zhao He faction with all these actions.
This is in line with Song Gaozong, who made great use of traitors and sycophants.
With Chu Yi's eyesight, he can see that what Zhao Gou said is not false. If Zhao Gou's acting skills can really be concealed from Chu Yi, then it can only be said that Zhao Gou is a master of acting, even if he can't see it.
After a glance, Chu Yi recognized it.
All I could hear was Chu Yi said: "Does Your Highness really think so? You must know that the Jin people are at the peak of their power. Even the Liao Dynasty is no match for them. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty to be strong in the face of the Jin Dynasty."
Zhao Gou said slowly: "I have the prince here, and it's just a big gold, so what do I have to fear!"
Zhao Yu watched from the side. At this moment, he couldn't help but stepped forward and saluted Chu Yi: "The Governor is here, please forgive me for being bold. If the Governor has no intention of usurping the throne, please keep this in mind."
Out of kindness to the late Emperor, I support His Royal Highness Prince Kang to ascend the throne and prolong the development of the Song Dynasty."
Everyone couldn't help but sweat for Zhao Yu. Even though Zhao Yu was the Zongzong of the royal family of the Song Dynasty and a strong man in the realm of heaven and man, no matter his identity or cultivation, he was nothing in front of Chu Yi.
, Chu Yi can even dethrone the emperor, and can only suppress the heavenly and human beings. , Zhao Yu's life and death only depend on Chu Yi's thoughts.
Looking at Zhao Yu lightly, Chu Yi's eyes fell on Zhong Shidao and said: "Mr. Zhong, do you think this governor should invite the prince or Prince Kang to be the emperor?"
Zhao Gou looked at Zhong Shidao eagerly. He knew very well that his previous words should have moved Chu Yi. Otherwise, Chu Yi would never have said so much to him.
Now it depends on what choice Zhongshi Dao will make. If Zhongshi Dao can say a few nice words for him, those few words may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Facing Zhao Gou's eager gaze, Zhong Shidao fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his hands to Chu Yi and said: "This matter is related to the country. Zhong is old and has mixed thoughts, but he dare not speak out. Of course.
It will be decided carefully by the Grand Governor!"
Zhong Shidao didn't speak for him, Zhao Gou was quite disappointed, but Zhong Shidao didn't speak for him, and he didn't speak for the prince either. At least it could be considered good news.
After all, the prince is now the legal heir in name. Most of the courtiers and officials will choose the prince first. It is not bad if the two can help each other.
However, Zhang Shuye glanced at Chu Yi at this time and said: "A hundred years from now, whether the Governor will remain famous in history or be infamy for thousands of years depends on the choice of the Governor."
That is to say, Chu Yi didn't take Zhang Shuye's rudeness to heart. Otherwise, given Zhang Shuye's temperament and temper, no matter how many heads he had, he wouldn't be able to chop him off.
Chu Yi clasped his hands behind his back, walked past Zhao Gou and others, and ran toward the palace, saying, "Follow me into the palace."
Everyone didn't know what Chu Yi was thinking, but seeing Chu Yi heading towards the palace, everyone quickly followed.
At this time, the palace had been breached, and Lu Junyi personally took action. In the face of Taotao's general situation, except for some generals and soldiers who were loyal to the royal family, the rest of the imperial guards fled and scattered. In less than half an hour, the huge palace was destroyed.
A complete change of ownership.
In the palace, Zhao Ji's bedroom is located.
At the entrance of the main hall, Zhao Ji stood there in Chinese clothes and did not go out. He ignored the group of Prince Kang's guards outside the hall.
The shouts of killing and the sounds of chaos could be heard clearly. If he really ran out at this time, without the protection of his close men and horses, and encountered the rebels, he might not even be able to save his life.
Suddenly, Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes and stared at the group of people who were slowly approaching.
At the forefront was none other than Chu Yi, the admiral of the East Factory whom he had trusted and relied on in the past, but who had gradually begun to fear him and wanted to plot against him.
When he saw Chu Yi, Zhao Ji was filled with thoughts for a moment. He never thought that Chu Yi, who he didn't care much about, would actually make such a big move, and even the capital was attacked by him.
.
Next to Chu Yi, Zhao Ji saw familiar figures one after another, such as Zhong Shidao, Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze and others. Every time he saw a figure, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
In Zhao Ji's view, it was all these people who failed to live up to his expectations. If these people had not surrendered to Chu Yi, how could Chu Yi alone have conquered the capital.
Zhao Ji's angry gaze could not escape the gazes of Zhong Shidao, Zhang Shuye and others. However, in the face of Zhao Ji's angry gaze, their reactions were different.
Zhong Shidao looked calm, while Zhang Shuye looked guilty, and Zongze lowered his head slightly. At this moment, Chu Yi stepped forward, raised his hand to Zhao Ji and said, "Long time no see, official.
But it has been reduced a lot.”
Zhao Ji couldn't help it any longer, pointed at Chu Yi and cursed loudly: "You are a eunuch, a traitor and a traitor. I trust you so much in vain. Is this how you repay me?"
Facing Zhao Ji's angry shouts, Chu Yi's expression remained unchanged, he shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood Mr. Chu. If His Majesty hadn't forced you step by step, how could Mr. Chu have been forced to protect himself, so that you and I both
People meet each other in such a scene today."
Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said: "I am the king and you are the minister. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. Why don't you die!"
With a slight cough, Zhao Gou, who was standing aside, said to Zhao Ji: "Father, the king of Guangyang County has made great contributions to our Song Dynasty by extinguishing the Manichaean rebellion. It is really shameful that our father treats his meritorious ministers like this.
Shouldn't..."
Zhao Ji became even more furious when he heard Zhao Gou's words, and roared: "You traitor, you are unfaithful and unfilial by forcing your father. How could I have a son like you?"
At this moment, Zhao Yu shouted: "Zhao Ji, that's enough."
With the status of Zhao Yu's royal family chief and Zhao Ji's imperial uncle, it was enough to call Zhao Ji by his first name. Zhao Yu pointed at Zhao Ji and shouted: "I regret not listening to what Mr. Zhang Dun said back then. Look at these years."
What have you done since you became the emperor? If the Song Dynasty dies, it will be at the hands of a foolish emperor like you. How can you have the face to meet Taizu, His Majesty Taizong?"
After being scolded by Zhao Yu, Zhao Ji suddenly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost, and most of his energy was taken away from him.
Zhao Ji's outburst just now was an explosion of anger that had been stored up for a long time. After he vented his anger and calmed down, Zhao Ji was actually very scared in his heart.
He is still quite clear about what situation he is in now. Although he is still the emperor, he has no power at all. If Chu Yi is really angered, he may not even be able to save his life.
Waving his hand, Chu Yi looked at Zhao Ji, threw the imperial edict to Zhao Ji and said: "Chu thinks that His Royal Highness Prince Kang is more suitable to be a monarch than the Crown Prince. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Zhao Gou, who was originally worried, suddenly became overjoyed and looked at Chu Yi with great surprise. Zhao Ji also looked at Chu Yi and Zhao Gou in great surprise.
As for Zhao Gou's ability to persuade Chu Yi, Zhao Ji actually didn't believe that Chu Yi would choose to support Zhao Gou. Zhao Ji even thought that Chu Yi would kill Zhao Gou and choose a weak and controllable prince as the new king.
Obviously Chu Yi's words made Zhao Ji confused. What did Chu Yi think? Didn't Chu Yi know that Zhao Gou was more difficult to control than the prince? He was not afraid that one day, Zhao Gou would
Will it come back to bite him?
Looking at Chu Yi, Zhao Ji just glanced at the imperial edict. He didn't know what he thought of. He couldn't help laughing and said to Chu Yi: "I have made an imperial edict. I will abdicate as the Supreme Emperor and pass the throne to the Ninth Prince Zhao.
Gou, from now on, Zhao Gou will be our new king of the Song Dynasty."
Chu Yi slightly arched his hands and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, you are wise."
While speaking, Chu Yi turned slightly towards Zhao Gou and said with a salute: "Your Majesty, Chu Yi, respectfully invites Your Highness to ascend the throne."
Zhao Gou stepped forward and held Chu Yi up. With infinite excitement, he said in a trembling voice: "The Governor must not do this!"
The rest of the people also reacted at this moment, such as Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Fang La and others saw Chu Yi make a choice. Although they did not think highly of Zhao Gou, they all followed Chu Yi and bowed to Zhao Gou.
Zhao Ji stood aside and watched with cold eyes. Seeing a crowd of people paying homage to Zhao Gou and declaring him the new king, Zhao Ji suddenly flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked into the main hall.
Zhao Gou helped everyone up one by one, then bowed to Zhao Ji's back and said, "I send you to the Emperor!"
