    (Da Meng is always so mighty and domineering, and he is the best in the world. There are also a few book friends who rarely show up but have always been silently supportive. They rarely appear on the list and thanked them all.)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

    The seventh eldest son of the Zhao family is Zhao Xu, the king of Ji.

    ¡°Well, in two days¡¯ time, when the zodiac is said to be auspicious by the official of the Ministry of Rites, he will be able to remove the title of King Ji and officially ascend the throne.

    These days, Zhao Xu has been like a dream: returning to Lin'an, meeting the Queen Mother Longyou, going to the Zongzheng Temple to verify the registration, accepting the worship of the ministers, leading the ministers to visit the ancestral temple, and discussing the throne This situation was what he had dreamed of many years ago.  However, after the boss ascended the throne, his dream was shattered; after the Jingkang Incident, the dream was rekindled; after Xiaojiu ascended the throne, the dream was shattered again.

    After experiencing the disaster, Zhao Xu no longer dreamed. He only planned to eat and wait for death in Tianshu City He never expected it!  Isn't that what we are talking about?  Everything seems to come so easily.

    From the perspective of inheritance, since Xiaojiu Zhao Gou can ascend the throne as emperor, then Zhao Xu, as the seventh child, is naturally more qualified.  What's more, he still has Queen Yuan Sheng's edict in his hand, which is stamped with the imperial seal.  Whether it is a throne passing ceremony or a direct line of succession, Zhao Xu has all the legal and ceremonial procedures in place.  Even if Zhao Gou appeared in front of him at this moment, it would be difficult to compete with him, not to mention, this person's life or death is still unknown.  Well, I hope the guy from Tianshu City will be more ruthless.  Get rid of this trouble.

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

    Yes, the person who made him pick up this dream again and realize it was Di Lie.  In the nearly one month since Zhao Xu became the crown prince, he had thought countless times about how to repay him other than fulfilling those terms.  Are we going to send more property, population, and even territory to the Tianshu forces?

    but.  As Zhao Xu focused more and more on his role as emperor, his thoughts began to waver.  All ministers, especially the left prime minister Lu Yihao, the right prime minister Zhu Shengfei, the right prime minister Zhao Ding (originally the right prime minister, was dismissed for the crime of neglecting the emperor. Zhao Xuzhong promoted him) and other ministers.  Constantly explain ZTE's strategy to him and tie his hopes to him.

    Unconsciously, Zhao Xu¡¯s thoughts changed.  After truly assuming the role of an emperor, the starting point of all thinking was to put the interests of the Song Dynasty first. At this time, Zhao Xu was horrified to realize that the terms of the secret agreement were simply cutting the flesh of the Song Dynasty!

    Zhao Xu couldn't help roaring in his heart: "Di Lie, his heart is worth killing!"

    This is where the butt determines the head.

    Without follow-up measures, you can never expect a person in power to keep his promise, no matter how sincere his original statement was.

    Just when Zhao Xu was gradually leaning towards breaking his promise after a fierce confrontation between heaven and man, a thunderbolt from the blue made his ears roar and his footing became unstable - Zhao Zhong submitted an urgent report that Zhao Gou had been released from Tianshu City.  Day is coming back soon.

    Zhao Xu held the urgent report and hid in the side hall for a whole day. He was not allowed to light the lamp even after dark.  A chamberlain was killed with a stick because he offended the crown prince. The reason was that the chamberlain asked twice when it was time to eat

    Until dawn, first Zhao Zhen and Zhao Gong were summoned to the palace for a secret discussion. Soon after, another military general was summoned to the palace urgently. He quickly left the palace with a scroll of figures and edicts in hand.

    From that moment on, Zhao Xu was in extreme anxiety, even putting aside his daily discussions with courtiers.  He was waiting. If the news didn't come back, he wouldn't feel at ease.

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

    At the main entrance of the palace, in front of Li's main entrance, a chamberlain had been looking eagerly. As soon as he saw the knight, he immediately came forward to greet him, anxiously and with unconcealed joy: "General Li, you are finally back! Your Highness has been waiting anxiously.  ¡­¡±

    The knight took off the ribbon on his helmet and said, "Will I go freshen up first?"

    "No need, His Highness has given orders to go to the Yanhe Hall immediately to meetGeneral Li, Rong Xiaoxiao has to say a few more words. This dusty body is what he looks like as a diligent and loyal man."

    General Li was startled for a moment, then he smiled knowingly and bowed to his servant: "Thank you for reminding me, I will repay you in the future."

    The chamberlain¡¯s brows were beaming. As the emperor and the courtier, this General Li would obviously become the new emperor¡¯s confidant. If he didn¡¯t fawn over him now, then when would he wait?

    In the Yanhe Hall, Zhao Xu was already restless. As soon as he heard the announcement from the chamberlain, he immediately shouted: "Hurry, come to the hall quickly."

    General Li had taken off his helmet and walked into the hall wearing Zheng Chen.  As soon as he saw Zhao Xu, he immediately knelt down on one knee and held a black lacquered wooden box with both hands.Li Qiong raised his head and said, "Li Qiong comes to see His Highness. Fortunately, Qiong has lived up to his command and got this thing. Please take a look at it."

    Zhao Xu stretched out his hand, trembling slightly, took the black lacquer wooden box and opened it.  On the brocade inside the box, there lies a white jade seal the size of a thumb.  Zhao Xu grabbed the seal and took a look, a flash of ecstasy flashed across his face: "It's exactly Jiu what he followed!"

    "What should the owner do with this thing?"

    "If I return to Your Highness, I will fall into the river and die."

    Zhao Xu's face alternated between joy and sadness, and he was stunned for a long time before finally speaking: "General Li, good job. From now on, you will be the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace and the general of the guards. The safety of my king from now on depends on my responsibility.  Here you go.¡±

    "Thank you, Your MajestyThank you for your kindness, I will fight to the death to defend you." Li Qiong kowtowed to the ground, and when he raised his head - it was the archer Dutou who called himself Li Chong.

    That¡¯s right, Li Chong is Li Qiong, and Li Qiong is Li Chong. He just changed his name to a homophonic one.

    Speaking of this Li Qiong, he is no ordinary figure. In the history of another time and space, he also caused some turmoil.

    This person is from the same hometown as Yue Fei, Duchong and others, and is a native of Linzhang, Xiangzhou.  He was a student in the state at first, but later abandoned literature and practiced martial arts, learning the art of stabbing, bending a bow and riding a horse. Among the generals of the Song Dynasty, he was one of the rare talents who was capable of both literature and martial arts.  chapter).  After the Jingkang Incident, Hebei fell and Li Qiong surrendered to the army.  Affiliated to Zongze's Remaining Division, he was assigned the jurisdiction of Huainan East Road Soldiers and Horses and was stationed in Cizhou.  Zongze died and Huazhou was defended.  The Jin army invaded the south and retreated with Du Chong. He was appointed as Chuzhou's pacification envoy and stationed in Guangzhou (now Gushi, Henan).

    Judging from this person's resume, he is very ordinary, just an above-average general, but he was in Shaoxing for seven years (1137).  Li Qiong's life has undergone major changes.  At that time.  Liu Guangshi was deprived of military power by Zhang Jun and appointed Wang De as the capital commander and Li Qiong as the deputy capital commander.  Li Qiong refused to accept it and always opposed him.  Wang De is Zhang Jun's confidant and favorite general.  How could Zhang Jun tolerate Li Qiong being so arrogant?  So he plotted to murder him.  Unexpectedly, the news leaked.  Li Qiong struck first.  He killed the supervisor officer Lu Zhi and led 40,000 soldiers to surrender to Liu Yu, the puppet Qi Dynasty. This was known as the "Huaixi Mutiny" in history.

    This is one of the many generals who surrendered to the enemy in the Southern Song Dynasty.  The incident with the greatest impact, the worst nature, and the most serious losses.

    It can be seen from this that Li Qiong is by no means a person who wants to be inferior to others.

    Zhao Xu had never met Li Qiong before arriving in Lin'an. After arriving in Lin'an, King Ji lived in Tianshu City for a long time, and he was deeply influenced by it and understood the importance of having soldiers on hand.  At this time, all the senior military generals in the Southern Song Dynasty were single-handedly promoted by his ninth brother. These people could be won over, but they could not be relied on as confidants. They had to build another team.  Therefore, Zhao Xu set his sights on those unsuccessful mid-level generals, and Li Qiong came into his sight at this time.

    Among the many military generals in the Song Dynasty, most were illiterate. Even among the many generals, there may not be a few who were versatile in both civil and military affairs, and those with state academic resumes were even rarer.  Li Qiong undoubtedly stands out from the crowd and attracts attention.  Soon, Li Qiong met Zhao Xu after being introduced.  After a conversation, Zhao Xu was very happy and decisively joined his team.

    In this way, Li Qiong stepped onto the stage of history in another attitude.  However, if he is deeply involved in this battle for the throne and does not know his fate, how much better can it be than in another time and space?

    ¡­¡­

    In October, in October, Gui Yan, Bai Hong Jingtian, and the East China Sea is now a big fish.

    The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was held in Chongzheng Hall, the main hall of Lin'an Palace.

    The emperor held a ceremony in Yuanqiu and issued an edict to the world to change the Yuan to "Xingyuan".

    After the ceremony was completed, the school captain was sent to set up a golden chair to the east and south of the altar in the outskirts of the palace, and set up a crown robe case in front of the golden chair.  The prime ministers on the left and right led the ministers and officials to look at their seats and ran to announce: "The ceremony has been completed, please take the throne as emperor."

    The new emperor then sat on the chair, supported by his ministers and officials.

    The hundred officials arranged their shifts first, and the deacons came to the front with their crowns and crowns and treasure cases.  The prime minister and other ministers knelt in front of Gong's crown and placed them on the case.  On both sides of Danqi, the Tongzan official sang: "Scheduling".  After the lineup was arranged, all the ministers bowed and played music.  Then all the ministers bowed three times, bowed down, bowed again, stayed flat, stopped happily, and entered the class.

    In the group of civil servants, the one at the forefront on the left is Left Prime Minister Lu Yihao, the one on the right is Right Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei, and then below are Zhao Shibao, Zhao Ding, Zhao Jian, and Zhao Gong Well, these two brothers finally got through.  Yes, judging by the train he was on, he was either a minister or a minister, a proper third-rank official.

    At this time, the ceremonial officer outside the palace sang: "The courtiers returning from the south have an audience with the emperor!"

    The ministers returned to the south and arrived in Lin'an last night, just in time for the enthronement ceremony, so naturally they should not miss it.  Due to the rush of time, the Ministry of Rites could not arrange it at all, and the Ministry of Personnel could not verify them one by one.  For safety reasons, Zhao Xu originally wanted to cancel the Hajj, but Zhao Xu considered that the ministers who returned to the south would not hesitate to travel three thousand miles to return to the dynasty. This political impact was really not small, enough to set off his image as a wise king, so he insisted on letting the Ministry of Rites arrange it.??

    According to the arrangement, after the ministers who returned to the south had burned incense and bathed in water, they gathered under the Guangdian Hall and lined up one by one according to their official positions in the original Northern Song Dynasty court to pay homage to the new emperor.

    After the Hajj ceremony is over, the next step is the most important ceremony - entering the seal.

    The treasure-bearing officer opened the box and took out the imperial treasure (i.e., the jade seal. Since there was no jade seal and Song seal passed down, a new treasure could only be made) and presented it to the left prime minister. Lu Yihao, the left prime minister, went out with the treasure and said respectfully: "The emperor has ascended to the throne.  Your Majesty, I would like to present the royal treasure."

    The new emperor, Zhao Xu, wore a crown with twelve jade crowns hanging in front of it, covering the expression on his face.  However, it is not difficult to imagine what Zhao Laoqi's expression would look like at this moment after he had thrown away the title of "King of Ji" for more than 20 years. He was really laughing out of his asshole.

    Zhao Xu held down the crimson crown with one hand and stretched out the other hand to receive the seal¡ª¡ª

    At this time, under the Guangdian Hall, I suddenly heard a voice coming from far away: "Your Majesty, I have the Great Seal of the Song Dynasty to offer."

    Zhao Xu¡¯s outstretched hand froze, Lu Yihao¡¯s figure froze, Zhao Ding almost dropped the wat tablet in his hand, and all the civil and military officials in the court looked back in shock.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I saw a man among the ministers who were returning to the south, holding a palm-sized seal in a brocade holder, climbing up the stairs and stopping in front of the palace - he couldn't go in without the emperor's call, otherwise he would be captured by Jinwu's guards.

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

    The man¡¯s face slowly emerged from behind the seal¡ª¡ª

    As soon as he saw this person's true appearance, there was a sound of gasping in the hall, and then, there was a period of deathly silence.

    Zhao Gou is back.  (To be continued)
