Chapter 512: Son and Daughter
After completing the worship of ancestors, Zhao Xing asked all the officials to leave and came to the palace to attend the banquet in the evening.
Then we came to the Chuigong Hall with our father.
The father told Zhao Xing about the recent things in the court.
"This time, the rebellion occurred in the Central Plains. Because most of the wing troops were withdrawn, they have not yet been replenished, and their troops were empty. The rebels swept across hundreds of counties in eight prefectures and hundreds of thousands of people died in chaos. , the entire Central Plains suffered great damage. ” The Supreme Emperor sighed.
Although Zhao Xing knew that the loss would not be small this time, he had not obtained specific statistics before.
Now you can imagine the anger in your heart when you learn that hundreds of thousands of people have died alone.
But when he saw his father's expression of a sad look, he could not reveal it, but instead comforted him. "You don't need to comfort me. I haven't seen anything before. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when I die so many people."
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and looked guilty with a look of self-blame. He said, "This time I was careless. If I handed over the people to the Imperial City Department for interrogation, I might be able to catch the borers and some senior wizard sects in the court."
"Don't worry, Father, my son will definitely find out about this matter and will not let these people get away with it." Zhao Xing said firmly.
The Supreme Emperor did not say anything about not implicating it or not, but nodded and said, "When you come back, I will leave the next thing to you. I am old."
"Father is not old. Didn't you say you want to teach Brother Yong?" Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Of course, this is what I said. Zhao Xing did not intend to let his father teach Brother Yong.
The father himself was fooled by those civil servants. Although he supported him in many things, his indecisive nature could not be changed.
Since ancient times, Zhao Xing did not know whether the emperor who could use "Ren" as the temple name was really kind, but he must be kind to civil officials.
After all, the emperor's temple name is the same as the posthumous titles of civil servants and military generals, and they are all decided by others after their death.
The emperor's temple name was given by the Chinese officials in the court.
According to the rules, even the new king cannot interfere.
Otherwise, there would not be some bad temple names in history.
In ancient times, when filial piety was governed, which new king dared to give himself a bad temple name?
In Zhao Xing's view, the people and civil servants are two different classes. If an emperor is supported by civil servants, he cannot be supported by the people.
Although during the reign of the father, he did not have enough labor service, taxes and education to the people.
But he was unable to fundamentally alleviate the conflicts between classes, nor could he solve the accumulated problems that existed in the Song Dynasty.
The people may be grateful, but they cannot support them.
Zhao Xing didn't want his son to be poisoned by Confucianism in the future, just like his father.
The Han Dynasty abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone in order to better rule the world.
The theory of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce is to fool the people, so that the people of the world can be at peace with their destiny and keep their own affairs.
In a sense, respecting Confucianism is a fool.
Let all officials in the world follow the rules of the king, minister, father, son and son.
From the interests of those in power, there is nothing wrong with doing this, but those in power cannot be affected and bound by this set of influences.
After all, when the Confucian children behind them constantly distort Confucianism to cater to those in power, they are also using the misinterpreted Confucianism to influence those in power.
After all, literati are Confucian scholars, and the right to interpret is in the hands of others.
How could those emperors who were influenced by misinterpretation of Confucianism have played with those literati?
The Supreme Emperor didn't know what Zhao Xing was thinking, so he chatted with Zhao Xing for a while before leaving.
"Has Yin Hanzhang arrived?" Zhao Xing looked at Sanshui and asked. "Go back to Your Majesty, Yin Dujian has arrived and is waiting in the side hall." Sanshui said.
"Tell him here!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Xing came to the table and sat down. After a while, Yin Hanzhang walked in.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" Yin Hanzhang said.
Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Are there anyone else who colluded with the officials of the Wizard Sect except Tang Fangming?"
"Return to Your Majesty, according to my investigation, after the Wizard Sect initiated a rebellion, The cities that were first captured all had some problems, and there is no conclusive evidence yet. As for officials in the court who were related to the Wizard Sect, according to the investigation of the minister, they vaguely pointed to Mr. Li. "Yin Hanzhang said.
"Grandpa Li?" Zhao Xing frowned slightly when he heard this.
Mr. Li’s granddaughter is his concubine, and he himself is already a husband. He is not only a high position and powerful person, but also a relative of the foreigners.
Zhao Xing really couldn't understand why he colluded with the Wizard Sect.
For the position of the grand minister? In order to make Li the queen?
But these are not achieved by collusion with the Wizard Cult.
"Is there any definite evidence?"
Yin Hanzhang carefully glanced at Zhao Xing's face and replied, "No, but after Tang Fangming was imprisoned, Mr. Li met the Dali Temple Minister alone. No one knew what he had talked about."
"Tang Fangming was imprisoned for several days and was interrogated several times but did not commit suicide. However, after Mr. Li met the minister of Dali Temple the next day, he committed suicide."
Zhao Xing was silent for a while after hearing this. , asked, "Tang Fangming was sure he died of suicide?"
"The coroner had checked, and there was no abnormality. And Tang Fangming broke the bowl, separated his wrists, and died of bleeding." Yin Hanzhang said.
Zhao Xing was also shocked when he heard this. It took a lot of courage to commit suicide, and Tang Fangming's method of committing suicide was more ruthless than ordinary ones.
You should know that the prison is a pottery bowl, not a porcelain bowl.
Even if it is broken, it is not sharp.
If you want to use fragments of the pottery bowl to separate your wrists, you can only rely on grinding.
And it just wears out the skin, although it will bleed, it will not be fatal.
Only by grinding out all the arteries, it requires great perseverance to do it.
"Apart from this, are there any other abnormalities?" Zhao Xing asked. "Return to Your Majesty, according to my investigation, about half a month before the rebellion started by the wizard sect, Mr. Li invited several officials from the court at home, including Tang Fangming and Yu Wei, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. And on the day Tang Fangming was arrested, Yu Wei went to see Xianggong Li. "Yin Hanzhang said.
When Zhao Xing heard this, he had already confirmed that this matter was inseparable from Gong Li.
"Where is the Wizard Cult? This time, the Wizard Cult has launched such a big rebellion, and many important figures of the Wizard Cult should have appeared, right?" Zhao Xing said.
"Return to your majesty, I have found some people from the rebels who have seen senior officials of the Wizards and asked the painter to draw a portrait based on their description. After being identified by Zuoqi and his wife, there was the leader of the Wizards and the Cult. , and several guardians of the Wizard Sect. There are some who they don’t know, and they should be the hidden senior officials of the Wizard Sect.” Yin Hanzhang said.
"Then let's publish their portraits all over the world and offer a reward of 10,000 taels. As long as you can provide information to the government, it will be effective if you catch someone!" Zhao Xing said.
Before, he asked Zuo Qi and Ruyu to describe the appearance of the wizard leader and important figures, and the painter drew it.
But Zuo Qi and Ruyu both said that the leader of the wizard will disguise, and they all learned it.
If it is announced to the world, the leader of the Wizard Sect and the senior management will probably be disguised throughout the future.
It is precisely based on this that Zhao Xing did not let someone tell the world, but asked the Imperial City to investigate secretly.
However, there has been no result for so long. The Wizard Sect has launched such a big rebellion, and Zhao Xing has no patience to wait.
And the people in the Central Plains suffered such great trauma, and although the cost of resettlement of the people is huge, it is not without benefits.
In the past, the Wizard Cult launched a rebellion, which was more about provoking and tempting.
This rebellion of the Wizards Sect engulfed a large number of people, and the people would inevitably hate the Wizards Sect very much.
Zhao Xing announced the world this time that he wanted to list the evidence of the wizard's teachings, so that he would become a dog that fell into the water and everyone would beat him.
In this way, it will be more difficult for the wizard to deceive the people in the future. "Yes!" Yin Hanzhang responded. "You hand over the portrait to the Ministry of Justice, I will let the Ministry of Justice do this." Zhao Xing pondered for a while and said, "I have something more important to hand over to you." You do it."
Yin Hanzhang bowed and stood up when he heard this, waiting for Zhao Xing's order.
Zhao Xing whispered a few instructions and then sent Yin Hanzhang to the death.
……………
"I wish you to meet your Majesty and congratulate you on your return with great victory!"
Zhang Guifen hugged Yong Ge'er and waited outside Renming Palace. Seeing Zhao Xing coming over in a chariot, he bowed his body and said.
"No gifts."
Zhao Xing waved his hand and smiled, "Let me hug you."
Zhang Guifen carefully handed the Yong Ge'er in his arms when he heard this.
Zhao Xing took it carefully and looked at his son.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
The little guy is now seven months old and is very cute.
When Zhao Xing looked at him, the little guy was also catching him in large quantities. "Ah...ah..."
The little guy was not afraid of being angry. He stretched out his fat fist, and didn't know whether to say hello to Zhao Xing or to hit Zhao Xing.
"Call Father!"
Zhao Xing grabbed his son's hand and said with a smile.
Zhang Guifen looked at it from the side and couldn't help but smile, "Brother Yong is only seven months old, he is just able to turn over and can't speak."
"This is my son, so naturally he is not an ordinary child. Comparable. If you teach him more, you might know it.” Zhao Xing smiled.
Zhang Guifen smiled and said, "Okay, I must have asked Brother Yong to call him father for the first time. It's hot outside, Your Majesty, go in first."
"Yes!"
Zhao Xing nodded and entered Renming Palace with his son in his arms.
After coming to the hall to sit down, Zhao Xing teased his son while listening to Zhang Guifen telling the situation in the palace recently.
No major happened in the harem. Zhang Guifen told more about Zhao Xing and some children.
At this moment, the palace maid walked in and saluted, "Report to Your Majesty, Empress, Concubine Li Xian, Sheng Shuyi, and Meili Sheng are here."
Zhao Xing looked at Zhang Guifen after hearing this, and Zhang Guifen smiled. He said, "Let them come in."
"Yes!" The palace maid bowed and retreated.
After a while, Li Yunchu, Shulan and Minglan each walked in with their children in their arms.
Zhao Xing now has three sons and one daughter, among which Jingjie'er, born to Shulan, is Zhao Xing's eldest daughter.
The son born to Li Yunchu was the eldest son, and Zhao Xing named him Zhao Xia.
The meaning is very simple, the Xixia of the Zhao family.
Zhao Yong, born to Zhang Guifen, is the eldest son and is the third.
Minglan gave birth to the youngest son, about half a month later than Zhao Yong.
The name Zhao Xing combines the meaning of Minglan and named it Zhao Ming.
According to the rules, descendants should avoid the names of their ancestors and parents.
The name cannot be used by the names of ancestors and parents.
But this situation is not absolute.
When Zhao Xing watched a drama in his previous life, someone questioned that Zhao Ceying's mother was named Shen Congying.
The name of Zhao Ceying and his mother both have the word "Eng" which was impossible in ancient times.
In fact, this situation occurred in ancient times. If fortune tellers say that their son would be in trouble, some parents would use the characters in their names to name their children.
The purpose is to prevent disasters for children.
So it is not a problem that Zhao Ceying and her mother both have the word "Eng" name.
On the contrary, it is the embodiment of the mother's love for her son.
The son of Zhao Xing and Minglan naturally could not find someone to tell fortunes, and no one dared to do so.
This is the prince. What if he calculates that there is no disaster and no difficulty, but he ends up dead?
But Minglan thought that she had suffered many disasters since childhood and was worried that her son would do the same.
So ask Zhao Xing to name her son with one word from her name.
Zhao Xing naturally didn't believe this, but Minglan was also a manifestation of her beloved son. She asked for nothing more than psychological comfort, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Zhao Xing has many concubines, but this time only three people with offspring were here.
This was obviously specially arranged by Zhang Guifen to let Zhao Xing see the child.
However, Zhao Xing should have five children, and one is still in Yu Yanran's belly.
Counting the time, Yu Yanran is about to give birth.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty, and to the Empress!" The three girls bowed and said. "Flat, bring the child over and let me see it." Zhao Xing said. "Yes!"
The three women responded and hugged the child forward.
Jingjie'er, who was born to Shulan, is almost two years old now. She is so cute.
Zhao Xing could already speak when he left Beijing. At that time, she had just started to learn to speak and couldn't speak clearly.
But she was still young and didn't remember anything at all. Zhao Xing had been away from Beijing for several months, and obviously she no longer remembered Zhao Xing's father.
When Shulan held her and came to Zhao Xing to see her daughter.
When Jingjie saw Zhao Xing looking at her with a smile, she gave Zhao Xing a back of her head and hugged her mother's neck tightly.
Shulan was worried that Zhao Xing would be angry and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Jing is afraid of having sex..."
Zhao Xing waved his hand and interrupted Shulan, saying, "She is still young and hasn't seen me for several months. It's normal for him not to remember me."
Shulan breathed a sigh of relief and said to her daughter in her arms. : "Sister Jing, have you always said you miss your father? This is your father."
Sister Jing ignored it and still hugged her mother's neck tightly and buried her head in her arms. . "Okay." Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "It's good to be familiar with it when you look back. Don't make things difficult for her." After Zhao Xing said that, he looked at Zhao Xia and Zhao again. bright.
Zhao Xia is over one year old and can speak some things.
But he couldn't speak before Zhao Xing left.
He was not afraid of Zhao Xing's gaze, but instead looked at Zhao Xing with curiosity.
No need to say Zhao Ming, he was in less than six months and could not even turn over.
"Your Majesty gives Brother Yong to me and hug Sister Jing and the others." Zhang Guifen said with a smile.
"Yeah." Zhao Xing nodded and handed Brother Yong over, but the little guy was unwilling to do so. His little hand tightly grasped Zhao Xing's clothes, and his little mouth was about to cry.
