Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 15 Brothers Are Kings on the Same Day

The next day is the meeting day.The system of the Song Dynasty, a small dynasty in five days, and a big dynasty in ten days.

In addition to being the prince, Zhao Dezhao is also the court's inspector and tutor, so of course he will go to the court.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Zhao Kuangyin signaled to the eunuch to promulgate a decree in public.

The long and slow sound of the declaration resounded in the hall: "Prince Zhao Dezhao, is a noble character, sincere, filial, loving and benevolent, sensitive and eager to learn..."

When Zhao Dezhao heard the twelve-character comment, he immediately grinned, knowing that something good was about to happen, and his efforts these days were not in vain!
He knew that "personality is precious", these four words are just nonsense and have no practical meaning.

But the following eight words are very particular, "sincerity, filial piety, love and benevolence, sensitivity and studious", isn't this just praising yourself for being filial, tolerant, smart and studious?

It seems that the father is not too stingy in exchange for a county king with a mouthful!
Soon, Zhao Dezhao suppressed the joy on his face, and quickly lowered his head. He couldn't get carried away in front of others right now!
Immediately afterwards, the Xuanzhi eunuch continued to read: "...I am the king of Tianshui County!"

Zhao Dezhao opened his mouth wide, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears first, I'm stupid, this is the king?

He knew that his father rewarded him with a little sweetness.

But he never expected that he would be awarded the title of a county king!

You know, in the original history of the Song Dynasty, none of Zhao Kuangyin's two sons had received titles while they were alive, and all of them had only posthumous titles.Chasing and sealing dead people is naturally "coaxing ghosts".

Although, the title of a county king is nothing to a prince.

Moreover, compared with Zhao Guangyi's King Jin title, it was even worse.

However, it is still of great significance to Zhao Dezhao now!
The appearance of this title not only represents the emperor's father's initial recognition of him.

More importantly, Zhao Dezhao successfully verified for the first time: after he traveled to this world, the trajectory of history has begun to change!
Before Zhao Dezhao's joy could come to fruition, the courtiers were in an uproar.

He even caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, Zhao Guangyi's eyebrows suddenly raised, and quickly lowered again.

More than a dozen ministers came out in unison, expressing their opposition loudly: "My lord! Absolutely not!" The prince has no contribution to the country, how can he be crowned king suddenly?His Majesty's move is against the law! "

Zhao Dezhao glanced at those people, remembered their names in his heart, and put a classification label on them in his heart: "Zhao Guangyi's party members".

"Oh?" Zhao Kuangyin sat on the throne and named one of the leaders of the group: "Li Aiqing, tell me, if I make the prince a county king, which court rule does it violate?"

The minister surnamed Li was at a loss for words. The Song Dynasty had not been established for a long time, so how could there be any established rules to follow?
Zhao Kuangyin continued to speak loudly.

"I am the founder, what rules do I need to follow? If the rules are useful, the previous dynasty will not perish! What I say and do today is the system followed by the future generations of the Song Dynasty!"

In just one or two sentences, all the objections in the audience were immediately suppressed.

Zhao Dezhao praised the emperor's father in his heart, what is the level of leadership speech?This is it!
The title of the county king cannot be rejected, but it does not mean that there are no other articles to do. Therefore, three or five courtiers immediately stood up to express their opposition:

"Tianshui is the hometown of the emperor of this dynasty, and it is the ancestral home of His Majesty, so it is not suitable to be a title! Therefore, the ministers think that it should be changed to another title!"

The few of them objected to the title of "King of Tianshui County", not because they were too full to be picky about words, but because this title was too special and symbolic, and it was easy for the ruling and opposition parties to have associations about His Majesty's intention to establish a crown prince.

Zhao Dezhao memorized the names of these opponents as before, and put a new label on them in his heart: "Zhao Guangyi's hardcore partisan".

Zhao Kuangyin made up his mind and laughed loudly: "My eldest son wants to continue the bloodline of my Tianshui Zhao family and be named the Prince of Tianshui County. It is most suitable. If he is not worthy, who else can be worthy?"

As soon as this remark came out, the elegant bird in the court fell silent, and no one dared to speak out against it.

Zhao Kuangyin stopped talking, and turned his attention to Zhao Dezhao who was standing in the courtier's lineup.

Many ministers and ministers also paid attention to him.

Zhao Dezhao knew that it was time for him to appear.

"Report to Emperor Father." Zhao Dezhao walked out of the line holding the jade wat in his hand, and said loudly, "I am so grateful to Emperor Father for his great love, but I am terrified in my heart, and really dare not accept the title!"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "You are my son, how can you be so small, you are only a county king, why can't you bear it? Why should you be afraid!"

Zhao Dezhao said in a deep voice: "The youngest brother has not been conferred, and as the eldest brother, I dare not be the first to receive the title alone."

As soon as this remark came out, there was another slight commotion in the hall.

The eyes of the ministers looking at Zhao Dezhao became a little strange, and they all seemed to be saying: "Okay, don't push yourself too far!"

Zhao Kuangyin was obviously taken aback when he heard this, and then burst out laughing.

He walked down the throne at leisure, walked quickly to Zhao Dezhao, and said with a smile, "You have a heart of filial piety and love for brotherhood. It's very good that you don't forget your younger brother when you are enshrined... But it seems that you are more insatiable, right?"

Zhao Dezhao did not deny it, but lowered his head, maintaining a humble demeanor in front of the emperor's father, as if humbly listening to the teachings.

"Since you have such a filial heart, how can I not fulfill your wish? In the future, this will also be recorded in the annals of history and passed down to future generations. "

Zhao Kuangyin returned to the throne, raised his sleeves, and said in a loud voice: "Cao Zhao, make the prince Zhao Defang the king of martial arts!"

There was another commotion in the court hall, this is the appointment of two kings in one day!
But this time, none of Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi's henchmen stood up to oppose it.

Because Zhao Defang is still young after all, he is the youngest son of the Holy Majesty, even if the Holy Majesty intends to appoint the prince as heir, it is unlikely that he will be chosen.

Therefore, the threat of Zhao Defang's appointment as the county king to Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi was far less than Zhao Dezhao's. Of course, they didn't need to fight against the saint for this.

……

At noon, Zhao Dezhao returned to the mansion.

Everyone in the mansion has received the news, and everyone is beaming with joy. The inspector's mansion will soon be renamed "Junwang's mansion".

What followed was that the money and food distributed by the imperial court every month would also be raised to a higher level, and everyone could benefit from it, and of course everyone was smiling.

"My lord, this is your great joy. There will be many ministers and ministers coming to congratulate you. Look, is the mansion going to make arrangements?"

Qian Niu'er suggested eagerly.

Since the housekeeper and eunuch Wang Shijie was eliminated, Qian Niuer, who was Zhao Dezhao's personal eunuch, became the head of more than 100 maidservants. Now that he was in good use, he wanted to create a big scene in front of his master.

Zhao Dezhao didn't even think about it, and vetoed it outright: "I don't need to make arrangements, I want to keep a low profile."

Qian Niu'er looked disappointed.

Zhao Dezhao changed the subject, "However, congratulatory gifts are still required!"

After a pause, he said viciously: "And charge more, the more you charge, the better!"

Qian Niu'er was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't hold a banquet but only accepted gifts, and he wanted to accept them as well as possible. How could he still do this?Can this also be called low-key?
