"Why did Kou Qing's family say that? Guns and artillery are sharp weapons. What do I want them to do?"
Empress Cao exclaimed.
Kou Ji said coldly: "If Niang Niang takes it, it will be handed over within three days, I can leave it alone."
Empress Cao's expression changed and she stared at Kou Ji and gritted her teeth and said: "Kou Qing's family, this palace knows that you are of high authority, this palace also knows that you are favored by the officials. But this does not mean you can insult this palace!"
Kou Ji gave Empress Cao a cold look, and left Yanfu Palace with his sleeves.
Empress Cao's face was green and white.
Even Zhao Zhen had never shown her such a face.
Kou Ji was domineering.
Kou Ji was too much.
Empress Cao gritted her teeth and felt it was necessary to tell Zhao Zhen about it.
Although she has asked for Kou Ji, it does not mean that Kou Ji can be arrogant and defiant.
If the royal is insulted by others, it is still a royal.
If it is for the throne to abandon the royal dignity and majesty, then what kind of throne is still fighting for
It's just a puppet if he gets it.
As soon as Empress Cao was about to enter Yanfu Palace, she saw Concubine Zhang Guifei, Concubine He De, and Concubine Zhou Shu, all of them came to the gate of Yanfu Palace with livid expressions.
Empress Cao saw that their faces were ugly.
They also saw that Empress Cao's face was ugly.
They are all smart people, and they don’t need to say anything to know what happened to the other party.
Obviously, Kou Ji has approached each of them and threatened each of them.
The four of them glanced at each other, and without saying a word, they entered Yanfu Palace together.
Inside Yanfu Palace.
Zhao Zhen knelt in front of the coffin unshaven, his eyes a little lost.
It has been a long time without washing and trimming, Zhao Zhen looked very sloppy and very decadent.
Zhao Run kneels behind Zhao Zhen, and his image is similar.
It just doesn't have a beard.
After Empress Cao, Concubine Zhang, Concubine He De, and Concubine Zhou Shu entered Yanfu Palace, they knelt before Zhao Zhen together.
Zhao Zhen felt that they were kneeling beside him, and his lost eyes had a little more expression.
Zhao Zhen said in a hoarse voice, "Four brother bullied you?"
The four Empress Cao knelt down together.
"I beg the officials to call the shots..."
Zhao Zhen said quietly, "Except for the fourth brother, no one can push you to this point."
"I beg the officials to call the shots..."
The four Empress Cao repeated what they said just now.
Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on the four Empress Cao and asked faintly: "Who did Fang Meiren frame the prince?"
Empress Cao couldn't speak naturally, she couldn't cheat her son.
Concubine Zhang Guifei, Concubine He De, and Concubine Zhou Shu did not speak either.
Zhao Zhen retracted his gaze, and said disappointedly: "Do you know why I dote on Brother Si?"
The four Empress Cao still did not speak.
Zhao Zhen said quietly: "Because the fourth brother will not deceive me, let alone harm me. Although the fourth brother has done some things in private that can't be on the stage, it is all for me and for my great Song.
He really took care of me like a brother. "
Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on the four Empress Cao, and he said coldly: "Where are you? You are my bedside person. It stands to reason that you should be closer to me, more like relatives.
But have you really treated me like a relative
Now that we are only a few years old, you will fight for this and that for your son.
Are you looking forward to my early death? "
The four Empress Cao looked terrified.
Zhao Zhen's voice rose a little bit, and said: "I am not afraid to say things that are taboo, half of my country is given by my ancestors, and half of them are shot down by me.
I will pass it to whomever I want to pass on.
In the future, who will sit in the world will not be determined by your quarrels.
That is my decision. "
Zhao Zhen looked at the coffin next to him and snorted coldly: "I am not afraid to tell you a few truths when I am behind my mother today. I once wanted to pass on the mountains to my fourth brother, and the fourth brother did not want to take it."
The four Empress Cao raised their heads, staring at Zhao Zhen in horror.
Zhao Zhen smiled sarcastically, "I know I'm afraid? I tell you this, just to let you know that I don't mind spreading the country out."
Empress Cao gritted her teeth and said in a trembled voice: "Officials, this country is the country of the Zhao family..."
Zhao Zhen stared at him with a smile and said, "It's true that Jiangshan belongs to the Zhao family. But it is not just me and my emperor who have the blood of the Zhao family.
There are countless clan houses.
My country was snatched by my emperor's grandfather from the emperor's uncle.
I can return it to them. "
The four Empress Cao trembled all over.
Zhao Zhen smiled grimly and said: "I can still pass it to my grandson! As long as I send a paper edict to Han, let my grandson change the surname to Zhao, my country can pass it on to him.
I can also send an edict to Bao Mansion to change the surname of Xu'er's son to Zhao, and I can also pass on Jiangshan to him.
Brother Si got back a lot of books from Da Shi, you can go and check it out.
In the far west, there are many who pass the throne to grandchildren and nephews.
You know who is standing behind my grandson and nephew.
They are fighting for the throne, have you ever fought for it? "
The four Empress Cao were speechless in horror.
They felt that Zhao Zhen was crazy.
Can actually say this.
Zhao Zhen is very clear, he is very clear.
"I tell you this, not to intimidate you, but to tell you that I have many choices. Huang'er is not my only choice.
In my eyes, my emperor is far more comfortable to be an idle prince than to be an emperor.
So you all give me a little restraint, don't force me. "
"The concubine dare not..."
"I tell you now, even if the fourth brother does something rebellious, I will not deal with him. Because his fate is my fate.
As long as he is alive, he will not watch anyone murder me, nor will he watch anyone drive me off the throne.
I feel that I can live a long time, and my fourth brother can live a long time too.
So you all give me a point of convergence. "
"..."
The four Empress Cao knelt in front of Zhao Zhen, dare not say a word.
Zhao Zhen's words shocked them too much, and at the same time it was too scary, and they couldn't say a word.
Zhao Zhen stared at the four of them and asked: "Now, tell me, who did Fang Mei's frame of the prince?"
The four people remained silent.
Zhao Zhen sneered, "You are very good! Chen Lin?!"
"The servants are here!"
Chen Lin quietly appeared beside Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen pointed at the four Empress Cao, "Tell the four nobles."
Chen Lin bowed to salute, and said indifferently: "Ladies have long used other concubines in the palace to fight for favor with concubines.
Fang Meiren's brothers failed, and many troubles occurred in Bianjing and their hometown.
Concubine Shu saw the opportunity to control Fang Meiren, and she came forward to help Fang Meiren solve her troubles, and thus grasped a lot of Fang Meiren's handles.
At the same time, Fang Meiren’s cousin and Zhang Bing were placed in appropriate places for emergency.
When the Concubine De consort was outside the city of Bianjing, she often asked her sister to pretend to be her to welcome guests in Taoist temples.
Among them is Tiewenxiong.
After the concubine De consort entered the palace, she often invited Tiewenxiong into the palace to explain the Taoism.
In the meantime, he used money and officials to lure him into his confidant.
But in fact, Tiewenxiong belongs to the Queen's Empress. As early as the beginning of Heavenly Sage, Tiewenxiong was the doorman recruited by the Cao family in Zhending Mansion where the Queen's Empress was..."
When Chen Lin said this, she paused deliberately.
Concubine He De's face changed drastically, and she looked at Empress Cao in astonishment.
Empress Cao's face was a bit ugly.
Chen Lin continued to say faintly: "The two empresses wanted to dismount the prince and the empress, but they were unwilling to do it by themselves, so they found the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine was not willing to stick to the matter, so she entrusted the matter to the concubine Xian.
The concubine divine concubine couldn't hold back the concubine concubine, so she made a move.
Therefore, the affairs of Fang Meiren are the people who come from the concubine Shu and the concubine De, and are planned by the concubine Xian.
If several empresses want evidence, the servants can go to Tianqing Street to invite the children born to Tiewenxiong and Cao's daughter. "
At this point, Chen Lin stepped aside.
Zhao Zhen snorted coldly, "What a good thing you did!"
The four Empress Cao could no longer hide anything.
They couldn't ask Zhao Zhen to show evidence.
At this time, ask Zhao Zhen to show evidence, and if you die with Zhao Zhen to the end, you will end up miserably.
If I acknowledged it happily, Zhao Zhen would be merciless.
After all, they are people with the prince beside them, as long as they don't commit a big mistake, Zhao Zhen will not put them to death.
"The concubine is convicted!"
Zhao Zhen shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, "If you are a husband and wife, I will not deal with you, so as not to make people laugh. The queen is not willing to see the royal family being said to be a place of dirt and dirt.
But your heirs, don't think about it.
Want to fight for the throne, I give them a chance.
After each prince reaches adulthood, he will be assigned as an official incognito.
The prefects, prefectures, prefectures, and the two prefectures patrol, step by step, and whoever rises, I will let whoever rises.
I will not interfere with them.
You are not allowed to interfere with them.
If there is any violation, I will demote him to the common people.
You all think that your son can be the emperor. Then let him go out to see how many catties they have, and see if they can take over my position.
The prince is older and has reached the age of expatriation, so he is taking advantage.
But he is a prince, so he should take advantage of it.
I will not favor him too much, I will put him outside on the border. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen ignored the ugly faces of the four Empress Cao and said coldly: "You'd better keep my words in your heart and don't violate them.
Otherwise, I will pass on the throne.
I dare not say that I surpassed all eternal emperors in Wenzhi martial arts.
But in mind and courage, I am far superior to any of them.
They are afraid of death, I am not afraid!
They dare not pass on the throne, I dare! "
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he pointed at the gate of Yanfu Palace, "Now, let me go out, and don't disturb the queen's sleep."
After the four empress Cao apologized, they withdrew from Yanfu Palace.
The four people stood outside the palace with very ugly and complicated faces.
If it was in the past, Chen Lin had uncovered their faces, they would have no hesitation in getting into a group.
But now, they don't want to make trouble.
Because there is no way to make trouble.
Zhao Zhenming clearly told them that he had more choices than his own son.
Zhao Zhen even counted his grandson and nephew among them.
Although the relatives of the imperial family were cleaned up by Zhao Zhen.
But there is still a lot left.
Zhao Zhen had too many choices, so many that they could not shoot or fight.
If Zhao Zhen went crazy, he would really pass his throne to his grandson far away in Han.
Then even if they tried their best to grab the hand, they couldn't sit still.
Although Zhao Zhenyuan's son-in-law in Handi has not yet added a grandson to Zhao Zhen.
But as long as they want to, they will surely be able to add a grandson to Zhao Zhen.
Whether Kou Tianci and Princess Baoqing can give birth to a son is not important at all.
As long as they are thick-skinned, any son of Kou Tianci can become the son of Princess Baoqing.
And Zhao Zhen's choice is not only his grandson, but also his nephew.
Zhao Xu was pregnant, already pregnant.
I don’t know if it is a male or female, but it proves that Bao Zheng and Zhao Xu are healthy and capable of giving birth.
As long as the husband and wife are cruel, they will always give birth to a son.
Not to mention the clan.
Since losing power, wealth, and being raised as pigs, one by one has done nothing except to have a baby.
There are now more than 400 people in the clan of Zhao Runping's generation.
Even the next generation of Zhao Run came out.
Zhao Zhen is still at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. The longer he lives, the greater the number of clan families.
Faced with a large number of heirs to the throne, they couldn't compete.
The only thing they can do is follow Zhao Zhen's instructions.
Zhao Zhen can be regarded as squeezing their weakness.
They relied on having the prince close to them, and they were not afraid of being beheaded if they made a mistake.
Zhao Zhen knew what they wanted, so he used what they wanted to crush them to death.
Zhao Zhen's words are magnificent, saying that he will pass the throne to his nephew, grand-nephew, nephew, and grandson.
But who will pass it to, only Zhao Zhen knows in his heart.
Zhao Zhen can scare people, but the four Empress Cao dare not gamble.
Zhao Zhen sighed long after looking at Queen Mother Li's coffin after the four Empress Cao left.
He felt very tired.
Empress Cao's four women with princes close by, he really didn't want to move, nor did he want to move.
He had enough of the bitterness of separation between mother and child.
He didn't want his son to suffer this kind of hardship.
So after he knew the whole story, he chose to let them go.
"Father..."
Zhao Run has been kneeling behind Zhao Zhen, and quietly watched the drama where Zhao Zhen scolded his mother and his empress.
He was very disappointed by what Zhao Zhen said.
He actually didn't have too much desire for that position.
But he feels that if the meat is rotten in the pot, it is better than giving it to others.
He felt that Zhao Zhen was utterly stupid to pass on the throne.
Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Run's call and looked back at Zhao Run. After seeing Zhao Run's expression, he said quietly, "Think me a fool?"
Zhao Run hesitated and nodded stiffly.
Zhao Zhen grinned, and said: "I thought I was surrounded by things that deceive the people from the top and the bottom, but I didn't expect that there would be someone who would tell me the truth.
Zhao Run said solemnly: "Sir, if the son cheated on his father, he would be the Son of Man in vain."
Zhao Zhen nodded and smiled: "It's better to be honest. People all over the world think that honest people will be bullied and suffer. But this rule is useless to my royal family.
I can say whatever I want to say.
I do what I want.
If you are not convinced, just hold it back to me.
If I couldn't hold it back, I killed him. "
Zhao Run hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "Father, you are too domineering. Mr. said, as a man, you don't need to be concealed in doing things, you just need to be upright."
Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Are I overbearing? I am bullied because I am not overbearing enough. So I hope you can be more overbearing."
Zhao Run hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if the emperor doesn't look down on his sons, and he is unwilling to pass the throne to his sons, he shouldn't pass it on to others."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback.
Zhao Run felt a little bit in his heart.
Zhao Zhen burst into laughter suddenly, "Good boy! I like it!"
Zhao Run stunned: "Father does not blame the children?"
Zhao Zhen asked back: "Why should we blame?"
Zhao Run hesitated and said: "The emperor father just told the queen mother that he wants to pass on the throne..."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled: "What did I say, so what? Did I still say that to whom the throne is passed, I have the final say?"
Zhao Run nodded.
Zhao Zhenrao said profoundly: "So... whoever passes the throne to, I have the final say."
Zhao Run nodded seemingly.
Zhao Zhen stared at Zhao Run and smiled: "Don't you think that it is unfair to you that I take out the throne that originally belonged to you to make people fight?"
Zhao Run smiled bitterly and said frankly: "Sir, I want to remember the throne. The first thing I need to do is to survive the emperor. The gentleman also said that if the emperor can't survive the emperor, what is the use of fighting for the throne?"
Zhao Zhen heard the words and said with emotion: "The fourth brother still sees it thoroughly."
Zhao Run continued: "Sir also said that the father is a long-lived person, so let the children be obedient. The children also think that the father will definitely live a hundred years old.
Therefore, the throne will not be robbed by the ministers.
But father, you can't stop the son of the son from grabbing it. "
After a pause, Zhao Run quickly added, "It's your emperor grandson."
Zhao Zhen laughed.
After laughing, he mysteriously said to Zhao Run: "It's not necessarily..."
Zhao Run was stunned for a moment, staring suspiciously at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen did not say much about this topic.
Zhao Zhen said to himself: "I still have a doubt in my heart that I haven't solved. After I have solved it, I will know how to pass on the throne."
Zhao Run just started to ask, but saw that Zhao Zhen had already turned his head and looked at the coffin of the Queen Mother Li, whispering and talking to the coffin of the Queen Mother.
Zhao Run listened carefully, a little dumbfounded.
Zhao Zhen is discussing his rudeness with Princess Li's coffin.
Zhao Zhen talked and laughed when he was guarding the spirits of Princess Li. He really shouldn't.
Zhao Zhen pleaded guilty to Concubine Li, and believed that Concubine Li loved him so much and would definitely not punish him, so he regarded Concubine Li forgiving her rudeness.
Zhao Run couldn't believe his ears at all.
Still have bargaining with the dead
If it hadn't been for the tears of Zhao Zhen talking and talking, Zhao Run would really think that his father was an unfilial son.
Kou Ji didn't know what happened in Yanfu Palace.
Kou Ji thought that after the four Empress Cao gave the ultimatum, they returned to the Chamber of Deputies, threw all the government affairs to the third house, left the palace by himself, and returned to the mansion.
Then sat in the house and waited quietly.
I have been waiting for three days without waiting for the slightest news.
Kou Ji sent someone to invite Yang Wenguang and Di Qing to the mansion.
After Yang Wenguang and Di Qing got the news, they straddled their horses to Kou Ji's mansion.
Kou Ji asked them to take them to the study.
Without waiting for the two to sit still, Kou Ji said astonishingly.
"I am going to blow up the equipment workshop outside the city!"
Rao Yang Wenguang and Di Qing were very knowledgeable, and they shuddered when they heard this.
The two stared at Kou Ji in horror, their eyes full of disbelief.
The equipment workshop outside the Bianjing city can be said to be the most important military site of the Song Dynasty and the largest military forging site of the Song Dynasty.
Blew up the equipment workshop outside Bianjing.
The firearms of the Song Dynasty will be faulted for a long time.
If an enemy happened to attack Da Song at this time, then Da Song would be in an embarrassing situation of lack of armaments.
The only thing that can be done at that time is to collect firearms from other imperial troops that have not been fighting.
Firearms have been in the military for many years.
Some soldiers who are new to the camp would not even be able to fight without firearms.
When the firearms are recruited, the recruits in the Forbidden Army will probably be abolished.
"Brother, you should know what the equipment workshop means to Da Song. Although I, Da Song, I have two firearm workshops in the north and northeast.
But in terms of scale, there is no way to compare it with the equipment workshop in Bianjing.
Once the equipment workshop in Bianjing city exploded and there was a war, artillery shells and iron bullets would not be enough. "
Di Qing shouted in horror.
Yang Wenguang nodded solemnly from the side and said, "Yes! The equipment workshop in Bianjing City is your painstaking effort for many years, so are you really willing to destroy it
It took you more than ten years to establish it.
After the bombing, more than a decade of hard work was gone. "
Kou Ji calmly said: "Ten years of hard work, if it is ruined, it will be ruined. You can build it later. With the previous experience, it should be built soon."
Yang Wenguang cried out with a bit of sorrow, "What the hell is it for?"
Kou Ji looked at Yang Wenguang, "First, the gunpowder was lost, and then the muskets and artillery were lost. There must be a big conspiracy behind it. I don't want the things I made to fall on my forehead.
Now I can't find the clue, and no one will admit it.
So I can only make a big fuss and blow up the equipment workshop.
When the equipment workshop exploded, the entire Song Dynasty would pay attention to it.
All those who were contaminated with gunpowder, muskets, and artillery will be dug out one by one.
When the time comes, the people behind will either take muskets and artillery to take risks.
Or just stand up obediently. "
Yang Wenguang looked stunned, still digesting Kou Ji's words.
Di Qing understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Gunpowder, muskets, and artillery have now been stolen in private. As long as people cut off the head and tail and refuse to show up, they will not be able to find out.
But it made the matter so big that it was enough to punish the Nine Clan.
Someone will always be timid.
There are always insiders who can't help but report it.
Some people involved in this matter will also be dug out by everyone in Da Song.
For example, soldiers who fled with guns and artillery.
Some of them will definitely be timid, and some will leak.
As long as the wind leaks, you can immediately follow the vine to investigate and catch the real culprit.
"Can't you find a way to check it again? It's a pity that the equipment workshop was destroyed."
After Di Qing understood the joints, he opened his mouth with pity.
Kou Ji shook his head calmly, "It's urgent!"
