~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lin'an, Yanhe Hall. This is the outer hall where the emperor lives. At this moment, a man who is about to become the emperor is pacing back and forth in the hall, looking anxious and restless.

The seventh son of the Zhao family, Zhao Xu, King Ji.

Well, in two days, the day when the zodiac sign of the Ministry of Rites is auspicious, the title of King Ji will be removed and the throne will be officially ascended.

Over the past few days, Zhao Xu has been dreaming: he returned to Lin'an, met Empress Dowager Longyou, went to Zongzheng Temple to verify his family, accepted worship from the ministers, led his ministers to visit the Taimiao, and discussed being the king... He dreamed of this situation many years ago

After that, after the boss ascended the throne, his dream was shattered; after the Jingkang Incident, his dream was rekindled, and after Xiaojiu ascended the throne, his dream was shattered again.

After experiencing disaster, Zhao Xu no longer dreamed, and just planned to live in Tianshu City and wait for death... I never expected it! Isn't this what I said? Everything seems to be so easy

.

From the perspective of heritage, since Xiaojiu Zhao Gou can ascend the throne as emperor, Zhao Xu, who is the seventh child, is naturally more qualified. What's more, he has the imperial edict of Empress Yuansheng, and the imperial jade seal is stamped on it.

.Whether it is the throne-passing ceremony or the inheritance of the eldest son, Zhao Xu has all prepared legal and ritual procedures. Even if Zhao Gou appears in front of him at this moment, it will be difficult to compete with him, not to mention that this person is still unknown. Well,

I hope the one from Tianshu City will take a more ruthless move and get rid of this trouble.

If you ask Zhao Xu, who is the person he is most grateful to during this period, Zhao Xu will answer without hesitation: Di Lie!

Yes, the person who made him pick up this dream again and truly realize it was Di Lie. In the past month when Zhao Xu became the crown prince, he had thought countless times about how to repay it, except for the terms of fulfilling his promise.

Do you also need to give more property, population, and even territory to the Tianshu forces...

However, as Zhao Xu increasingly placed his position on the role of the emperor, his thoughts began to shake. All the ministers, especially the left prime minister Lu Yihao, the right prime minister Zhu Shengfei, and the right prime minister Zhao Ding (formerly the right prime minister).

, for the crime of losing the king, he was removed from office. Zhao Xu was promoted to him and other ministers. He kept telling him the plan for revival and dependent on his hopes on him.

Unconsciously, Zhao Xu's thoughts changed. He truly put himself into the role of the emperor, and all the starting points of thinking were based on the interests of the Song Dynasty. At this time, Zhao Xu was shocked to realize that the terms of the secret agreement were simply a severance.

The meat of the Song Dynasty!

Zhao Xu couldn't help but roar in his heart: "Di Lie, his heart is punishable!"

This is what the butt determines the head.

If there is no subsequent means of restraint, never expect a superior to keep his promise, no matter how sincere his statement was.

Just when Zhao Xu gradually became inclined to destroy his promises after a fierce confrontation between heaven and man, a bolt from the blue made him roar in his ears and his foothold was unstable. Zhao Zhong submitted an urgent report that Tianshu City had released Zhao Gou,

The day is coming back soon.

Zhao Xu held the urgent report and hid in the side hall for a whole day, and he didn't let the lights be held when it was dark. An eunuch was killed by a stick because he asked twice that it was time to have a meal...

…

Until dawn, Zhao Jing and Zhao Gong were summoned to the palace for secret discussions. Soon after, another military general was summoned to the palace. He immediately held a volume of graphics and edicts in his hand and quickly left the palace.

Since that moment, Zhao Xu has been in extreme anxiety, and even the daily arguments with court officials have been put on hold. He is waiting, and the news will not be returned for a day, and he will not be at ease for a day.

At the end of October, a fast horse passed through the streets and alleys of Lin'an and headed straight for the palace.

At the main entrance of the palace, in front of the Lizheng Gate, an eunuch was looking up. When he saw the knight, he immediately came forward, anxiously with a joy that could not be concealed: "General Li, you are finally back! Your Highness is anxious and anxious.

…”

The knight said while untiing the ribbon of his helmet: "Will I go and wash it first?"

"No need, Your Highness gave the order, and immediately go to Yanhe Palace Jin to see... General Li, Rong Xiao said something more, this mud and dust look like a diligent and loyal person."

General Li was stunned, then smiled and bowed to the eunuch: "Eunuch Xie reminds you that you will be rewarded in the future."

The eunuch smiled and said, "Once the emperor is the emperor and the ministers, General Li will obviously become the confidant general of the new king. If you don't flatter and show your goodwill at this time, when will you wait?"

In Yanhe Hall, Zhao Xu was already restless. When he heard the eunuch's report, he immediately shouted: "Hurry, hurry up and go to the hall."

General Li had removed his helmet and walked into the hall with a body of dust. When he saw Zhao Xu, he immediately knelt on one knee, raised a black painted wooden box with both hands, and said, "Li Qiong kowtowed to Your Highness, Qiong was lucky to have not been humiliated.

, If you get this item, please check it out."

Zhao Xu stretched out his hand, trembled slightly, took the black lacquer wooden box and opened it. On the brocade inside the box, a white jade seal the size of a thumb was quietly lying. Zhao Xu grabbed the seal and saw a hint of ecstasy flashing on his face: "It's Jiu."

...He follows!”

"How to deal with this owner?"

"When you go back to your highness - you fall into the river and die."

Zhao Xu's face was joyful and sad, and he was stunned for a long time, and finally said, "General Li, you have done a good job. From now on, you will be the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace and also be the chief military officer of the Guards. I will give you the safety of the king in the future.

I've given it to you."

"Thank you Your Highness... Thank you for your kindness, I will swear to death." Li Qiong bowed his head and raised his head. It turned out to be the head of the archer who claimed to be Li Chong.

That's right, Li Chong is Li Qiong, and Li Qiong is Li Chong. He just changed his name to a homonym.

Speaking of Li Qiong, it is not an idiot. It has also caused a storm in the history of another time and space.

This person is from Linzhang, Xiangzhou, and was a native of Linzhang, first a student of the state, but later abandoned literature and martial arts, learned the art of assassination, bent his bow and rode a horse. This is relatively rare among the generals of the Song Dynasty.

A talent that is capable of literary and military (this is also why he can identify Zhao Gou’s private seal). After the Jingkang Incident, Hebei fell and Li Qiong joined the army. He was under Zong Zezhi’s remnant position and served as the commander of the military commander of Huainan East Road.

He stationed in Cizhou. Zongze died and garrisoned Huazhou. The Jin army invaded the south and retreated with Du Chong. He served as the appeasement envoy of Chuzhou and stationed in Guangzhou (now Gushi, Henan).

Judging from this person's resume, he was very ordinary and was just a general of the middle and upper class. However, in the seventh year of Shaoxing (1137), Li Qiong's life underwent major changes. At that time, Liu Guangshi was removed from military power by Zhang Jun and appointed Wang De as the leader of the army.

The commander-in-chief, Li Qiong was the deputy commander-in-chief. Li Qiong was dissatisfied and always opposed him. Wang De was Zhang Jun’s confidant general. How could Zhang Jun allow Li Qiong to be so arrogant? So he plotted to kill him. Unexpectedly, the news leaked. Li Qiong took the initiative to kill him.

The officer of the death supervisor, Lu Zhi, led 40,000 troops to surrender to the puppet Qi Liu Yu, known in history as the "Huaixi Mutiny".

This was the incident with the greatest influence, worst nature, and the worst losses caused by many enemy generals in the Southern Song Dynasty.

From this point of view, we can see that Li Qiong is definitely not the one who is willing to be inferior to others.

Before coming to Lin'an, Zhao Xu never met Li Qiong. After arriving in Lin'an, this King Ji lived in Tianshu City for a long time, and was deeply aware of the importance of military force in his hands. At this time, all the senior military generals of the Southern Song Dynasty were

The ninth brother promoted his first hand, and these people could win over, but they could not rely on them as confidants, and they had to build another team. So Zhao Xu turned his attention to those unsuccessful intermediate generals, and Li Qiong entered at this time

Its line of sight.

Among the many military generals of the Song Dynasty, most of them were ignorant. Even many generals might not have a few civil and military talents, and there were even fewer people with provincial education resumes. Li Qiong was undoubtedly a star-studded and eye-catching. Soon,

After being introduced by someone, Li Qiong paid a visit to Zhao Xu. After a conversation, Zhao Xu was very happy and decisively pulled him into his team.

In this way, Li Qiong took another attitude to the stage of history. However, he deeply penetrated into this battle for the throne, and I wonder how much better his fate could be than another time and space?

...

In October 1130, Guiyou, the White Rainbow passes through the sky, and a big fish appears in the East China Sea, which is a good omen.

The ceremony for the Ascension of the New Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was held in Chongzheng Hall, the main hall of Lin'an Palace.

The emperor paid tribute to the Circular Mound and issued an edict to the world, changing the reign of the "Xingyuan".

Li Cheng, the lieutenant sent a golden chair to the east and south of the altar in front of the hall, and set up a crown and garment table in front of the golden chair. The left and right led the ministers, and the officials looked at the seats and ran to the sound of the saying, "The ritual of the sacrifice was Cheng."

, please ascend the throne."

The new emperor then sat on the chair under the support of all the ministers and officials.

All officials were scheduled first, and the deacons raised their crowns and uniforms, and the treasure case came to the front. The prime minister and the ministers knelt in with their crowns and placed them on the table. The officials on both sides of the Danban sang: "Schedule". The scheduling was scheduled together.

Later, the ministers bowed and played music. Then the ministers bowed three times, calmed their bodies, and then bowed again, calmed their bodies, stopped their music, and entered the class.

Among the civil officials, the front of the left is the left prime minister Lu Yihao, the first on the right is the right prime minister Zhu Shengfei, and further down are Zhao Shibao, Zhao Ding, Zhao Jing, Zhao Gong... Well, these two brothers finally made their way

It depends on the train he is in. He is not a Shangshu or a Minister, and is a third-rank senior official.

At this time, the official ceremonial outside the hall sang: "The court officials from the south come to see the emperor!"

The ministers returned to the south and arrived in Lin'an last night. They were just about to catch up with the throne ceremony, so they should not be missed. Due to the haste, the Ministry of Rites could not arrange it at all, and the Ministry of Personnel could not verify it one by one. For safety reasons, I originally wanted to cancel the Hajj, but Zhao

Xu considered that the ministers who returned to the south traveled three thousand miles away and returned to the dynasty, this political influence was really great, which was enough to highlight his image as a wise ruler, and insisted that the Ministry of Rites arrange a pilgrimage.

According to the arrangement, after the ministers from the south burned incense and poured soup, they gathered under the Guang Hall, arranged in an orderly manner according to their respective official positions during the Northern Song Dynasty court, and visited the new emperor.

The Hajj ceremony ends, and then comes the most important ceremony - the treasure seal.

The official who held the treasure opens a box to get the imperial treasure (i.e., the jade seal, because there is no jade seal or the Song seal, he can only make another new treasure) and is given the title of the left prime minister. The left prime minister Lu Yihao held the treasure out of his class and said respectfully: "The emperor ascended to the great power."

I am very careful to be on the imperial treasure.”

The new emperor Zhao Xu wore a crown with a twelve jade tatters hanging in front of the crown, covering the expression on his face. However, it is not difficult to imagine that this man had been wearing the hat of "King Ji" for more than 20 years.

What kind of expression would Zhao Laoqi look like at this moment? He was really laughing out loud in the butthole.

Zhao Xu held the crimson crown garment with one hand and stretched out the other hand to wait for the seal to be received-

At this time, under Guang Palace, a sound suddenly came from a distance: "Your Majesty, I have a seal of the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Xu's hand froze, Lu Yihao's body was fixed, Zhao Ding's tablet almost fell to the ground, and all the civil and military officials in the court looked back in shock.

Then he saw that among the ministers in the south, a man held a seal the size of a palm in brocade, climbed up the stairs and stopped in front of the palace. Without the emperor's summons, he would not be able to enter, otherwise he would be taken down by the Jinwu guards.

Zhao Xu looked at the man with his head down in front of the hall from afar, for no reason, and blurted out: "You, raise your head."

The man's face slowly appeared from behind the seal—

As soon as he saw this person's true appearance, a sound of breath sounded in the hall, and then he fell into a dead silence.
