    After coming out of Funing Hall, Zhao Zhao sighed lightly.  He is completely hard-hearted and ruthless, he can't do it, especially to a few innocent children.  Perhaps this is the most appropriate way to let them live, but without leaving any hidden dangers or threats.  It can be regarded as a little compensation for Zhao Xu. After all, if it weren't for his promotion, I wouldn't be where I am today.  Although there is a huge grudge against him personally, it does not have to affect the children. There can be mercy in this matter.  This is also a sign of confidence. Zhao Zhao firmly believes in his control of the Song Dynasty and is not worried that a few children will shake his power.  But to be on the safe side, we should consider future generations and avoid causing trouble to them.  Don't you see that during the Qing Dynasty, a third prince Zhu was causing trouble for many years.  ¡°In fact, it¡¯s fine to keep these children under house arrest for the rest of their lives.  But what if something goes wrong?  The children will eventually grow up, and they will also have sons and grandsons. Do all the descendants of this branch have to be under house arrest forever?  After experiencing Zhao Shiju's rebellion, Zhao Zhao had a deep understanding that he must guard against this kind of thing for several lifetimes.  Zhao Xu¡¯s sons could only disappear completely from public view. There were no longer four princes in the world, only an ordinary child who grew up silently among the people.  It doesn't matter even if you are suspected or even criticized.  The sons of the previous emperor have been excluded, and now only the brothers are left.  When we returned to the grand celebration, the Empress Dowager Cao and the eldest princess of Chu State Zhao Fukang were already there.  They had just left the palace and came back a short while later, but for a moment they were still in danger of losing their lives.  Zhao Zhao quickly stepped forward and prostrated himself in front of Cao.  He kowtowed and said, "I have met your empress!" "Quickly. Get up quickly!" Mrs. Cao looked at Zhao Zhao, who had been away for a long time.  Crying with joy.  The longed-for dream finally came true.  "I miss you!" "Okay, I'm fine now!" Ms. Cao held the hands of Zhao Zhao and Zhao Fukang, excited.  At this time, the sky was clear, the wind was blowing, and the flags were fluttering. Standing on the steps in front of the grand celebration, when I turned around, I saw hundreds of officials coming hand in hand.  The first ones were Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi.  Then came Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang. With these four important ministers taking action, it was clear to the whole world that all officials submitted to the King of Qin and to the new Emperor Zhao Zhao of the Song Dynasty.  All the officials who had disappeared for a long time appeared. After learning that King Qin had broken the city and entered the palace, they went home immediately, put on their court clothes and got ready.  As soon as he heard the edict, he immediately rushed to the palace to witness a historic moment.  It is also the enthronement ceremony.  But the protagonist has changed, so they don't have the slightest evasion or hesitation.  "Meet the Queen Mother. Meet the King of Qin!" All the officials knelt down at the grand celebration. At this moment, such an occasion must kneel down and worship.  As for Cao's status, she was demoted to the queen mother by the tacit agreement of all officials.  Regarding this, Ms. Cao herself has no dissatisfaction. A real empress dowager is much better than an empress dowager in name only.  "Excuse me!" Cao walked up to the front and said loudly: "Everyone in the family knows that since the death of Emperor Renzong, the artifacts of Guozuo have been stolen for many years. Now the King of Qin has lived up to everyone's expectations, brought order to the chaos, and helped the country. Congratulations!"  "Congratulations!" All the officials agreed.  Cao said: "A country cannot live without a king for a day, especially in this critical period of life and death. Do you think so?" "Yes!" "Then you can nominate a new king!" After Cao's words, the whole court was full of civil and military officials.  All the officials said in unison: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is worthy of a great responsibility!" This is inevitable. It would be strange if there was a second answer.  "But Zhao Zhao couldn't agree outright. In ancient times, people were very particular about the golden mean. Even if it was hypocritical, they had to be humble.  Although he had previously taken the opportunity to directly hold the enthronement ceremony, when Shi Jianfei went to summon him, his words were still more tactful.  Nowadays, it is indispensable to go through indispensable etiquette steps and pretend to be noble and upright.  "How can Zhao be so virtuous? The previous troops were only sent out to punish the thieves who were causing chaos in the country and to help the country. The country still needs people with virtue." Zhao Zhaodao said: "I have little talent and little knowledge. I am still young and may not be able to hold a big position. Please follow me.  "His Royal Highness, King Renzong, is the biological son of Emperor Renzong. He is a direct descendant of the emperor and has a noble bloodline. Moreover, His Highness helped the country internally, invaded Hehuang and destroyed Xixia, and expanded the territory thousands of miles away. This is an unparalleled achievement."  There is no one in the world who can compare with Your Highness." Zhang Zongyi, the Minister of Rites, shouted: "I respectfully invite Your Highness to ascend the throne!" "I respectfully invite Your Highness to ascend the throne!" The senior officials, including Wen Yanbo and Ouyang Xiu, expressed the same attitude.  Then all the officials agreed in unison, with a firm attitude.  Zhao Zhao couldn¡¯t resist the disobedience.Accept it "as a last resort" after the resignation!  Cao said: "This is very good, and it can also comfort the spirits of our ancestors in heaven. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Since we have made preparations today, let's just hold the enthronement ceremony!" "Yes!" While the officials agreed, Wen Yan  Bo had prepared the edict for ascending the throne and read it out in public: King Zhao Zhao of Qin, the fourth son of Emperor Renzong, has noble character, successful experience, outstanding achievements, and is worthy of a great responsibility.  By the empress dowager's kind words, he is crowned emperor!  Zhang Zongyi is a very smart person and has prepared the relevant etiquette long ago.  However, it is somewhat hasty and some steps are somewhat simple.  But the form is not important, as long as the content is the result.  Zhao Zhao first saluted his aunt, Empress Dowager Cao, and then ascended the throne of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, ruling the world!  At that moment, all the ministers knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, shouting long live the mountain.  After several years of hard work, Zhao Zhao achieved his goal and ascended to the throne. At this moment, the history of the Song Dynasty opened a new chapter.  Since you have ascended the throne, there are many etiquette and rewards to be completed.  The first one is to determine the era name, not only the era name after Zhao Zhao changed the Yuan Dynasty, but also the era names of the previous eleven years.  That is to say, the reign names of Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Xu need to be renegotiated. Zhao Zhao wants to characterize the affairs of Zhao Zongshi and his son as soon as possible and make arrangements.  This kind of thing has long nights and many dreams, so it is better to do it in one step.  As mentioned earlier, Pu Wang Zhao Zongsheng reported that Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao had poisoned the third emperor Zhao Xi of Renzong and murdered the fourth prince Zhao Zhao. The evidence is conclusive and everyone knows it now.  They ascended to the throne through illegal means, so the throne of their father and son is not legal.  So in this case, can the two emperors still retain their titles?  Zhao Zhao made it very clear in the ultimatum that they would be deprived of everything, not just now, but also everything they had in the past.  If Gao Taotao insists on going his own way, he should pay the price. This matter is not negotiable.  Xu Zundao, minister of Dali Temple, said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Zongshi's attempt to murder His Royal Highness the King of E and His Majesty is an unforgivable crime and is no different from treason. He is in the wrong position and is a rebellious minister. If he continues to remain the emperor, he will be enshrined in the Taimiao. This is for the sake of his ancestors.  , The disrespect to the late emperor and the king of E is unacceptable to heaven and earth, and people and gods are indignant. Therefore, I believe that his throne should be abolished! " "Your Majesty, the father and son lineage, Zhao Zongshi's accession to the throne is unfair, and Zhao Xu's succession is also illegal, so the emperor's position should be abolished.  It¡¯s good to have an explanation to the people of the world and uphold the etiquette and laws of the court.¡± The speaker was Zhang Zongyi, the Minister of Rites.  The big bosses in charge of law and etiquette have all expressed their opinions, and the remaining officials naturally have no objections. As for the prime ministers, they may feel a little sad in their hearts, but it is not easy to object.  Once the emperor and his ministers, now it is Zhao Zhao who has the final say.  In any case, it was Zhao Zongshi who made the big mistake himself, so it was his own fault and no one else could be blamed.  This kind of character, being worshiped in the Ancestral Temple, really brings shame to the royal family.  In this way, all the officials agreed to abolish the imperial titles of Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Xu.  In other words, there will no longer be two emperors, Yingzong and Shenzong, in the history of the Song Dynasty.  Zhao Zhao acted very quickly. The two people immediately withdrew from the Ancestral Temple. Zhao Zongshi moved out of Yonghou Mausoleum and was buried separately.  It just so happens that Zhao Xu's mausoleum has not yet been built, so he will not enjoy the treatment of an imperial mausoleum.  As for the past reign names, they also need to be dealt with. The two reign names of Zhao Zongshi's Zhiping and Zhao Xu's Xining are abolished.  In the past eleven years, Emperor Renzong's last reign title - Jiayou!  AD 1074, which was originally supposed to be the seventh year of Xining, has now become the nineteenth year of Jiayou!  This is exactly the same as after Zhu Di¡¯s Jingnan campaign, Zhu Yunwen¡¯s Jianwen reign name was abolished and Zhu Yuanzhang¡¯s Hongwu reign name was used.  There was only one successful example of an uncle seizing the throne from his nephew, so Zhao Zhao also adopted this approach!  As for next year, when Zhao Zhao changes his reign, the ministers discussed it for a while and gave the opinion - orthodox!  Zhao Zhao has been living among the people for many years. Now he has returned and ascended the throne. The royal bloodline has returned to orthodoxy, so this era name has a clear meaning.  Orthodoxy, in this book, the reign name of Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, appears in advance.  Zhao Zhao hesitated for a moment. During the Zhengtong period, Zhu Qizhen's imperial commander personally went on an expedition and carried out a civil fortress coup. Being captured by Wala was a great shame and humiliation.  This reign name seems not very good, but the courtiers agree, but the reasons cannot be explained.  Zhao Zhao pondered for a moment. The incident in Tumu Fort was caused by Zhu Qizhen himself and the eunuch Wang Zhen, and it had nothing to do with the reign name.  Although he will have to fight in person in the future, Zhao Zhao firmly believes that similar tragedies will not happen to him. He has this confidence.  So, the monarch and his ministers reached an agreement to change the year next year to the orthodox first year! ?Both the emperor title and the reign title can be abolished, but Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Xu did appear in history, and it is impossible to erase all these eleven years from the history books.  They must still be identified. They are no longer emperors, but they still need to be granted titles, even if they have committed heinous crimes.  After some discussion, all the honorific titles and posthumous titles of their father and son were revoked, Zhao Zongshi was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Violence, and Zhao Xu was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Wu!  "A violent person is cruel and sinful, which just shows Zhao Zongshi's brutal crime of murdering the prince in the past.  The fallacy is the mistake!  If the father's throne was not right, then it would be a mistake for his son to take the throne!  As for the events of these eleven years, they will be recorded in history as "violence and chaos."  Once the nature is determined, everything is easy to explain. After dealing with the dead, it¡¯s time to deal with the living.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
