Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 185
After sending the young eunuch away, Zhao Guangyi's staff and several ministers who were regarded as confidants gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"This king has always thought that although the Holy Majesty will definitely give the King of Tianshui County a promotion, he will not break the rules and make him the King of Qin! I never imagined that the Holy Majesty is really stupid, and actually conferred him the King of Qin..."

When Zhao Guangyi mentioned this matter, his hands still trembled slightly.I can't suppress my excitement.

"In this way, in the future, there will be sacrifices in the court, state affairs and other major events, and this king will be ranked under him, Zhao Dezhao, and he must be greeted first..."

The humiliation and resentment distorted Zhao Guangyi's face, and even his voice became a little hoarse.

According to the traditional rules, under the court, the royal family can be established according to the family's seniority, but above the court, or state affairs, then the rules must be followed.

For example, when offering sacrifices to the heavens, the king of Qin, who ranks first in the procession, has to dominate the king of Jin, even when receiving foreign guests. Although Zhao Dezhao is young, he has to stand in front of Zhao Guangyi. Even if they meet at a ceremony, it must be Zhao Guangyi. First greet Zhao Dezhao politely.

These are all supervised by historians and officials in person, and there is no mistake in the slightest, even if you are the King of Jin, you can't go beyond the rules.

This is why Zhao Guangyi felt humiliated.

This king followed Shengshang to fight north and south, fought east and west for decades, and worked hard to conquer the country. Now he wants to help his nephew who was only a half-year-old nephew before he was young. It's no wonder he is not angry.

"Your Majesty! The ministers could not have imagined that the Holy Majesty... broke the etiquette this time." Said Sui Jingbo, a member of the Ministry of Officials,

"I believe that this is not just a matter of seniority, but also the attitude of the Holy Emperor, who is completely leaning towards Zhao Dezhao. Once the title of King of Qin is confirmed, it will be equivalent to telling the world that Zhao Dezhao's succession order is in Above you..."

Sui Jingbo licked his lips, "In case the Holy One...Yan Jia, it is logical that Zhao Dezhao will succeed him!"

Zhao Guangyi's face changed color, which was what he was most worried about.

Feng Yuantong looked at Sui Jingbo and was very dissatisfied.

After Li Jian'an's death, he always thought that he should be the number one counselor under Zhao Guangyi. He spoke just now to explain this point of view, but he didn't expect Sui Jingbo to say it first.

He hurriedly took a step forward, "That's right! So we must not allow the Holy Majesty to confirm this matter this time. Tomorrow, the court will depend on your lords!"

He stared at Sui Jingbo with wide eyes, thinking that I am full of strategies, but it is a pity that I don't have an official position. Since your family is so happy, tomorrow the court will have to work hard.

Sui Jingbo felt guilty for a while when he saw him, thinking that I was just a mere sixth-grade Yuanwailang, and others took the lead, so it’s okay for me to follow and shout, let me rush to the front, that’s not courting death!
Zhao Guangyi said, "That's right! Yuan Tong's words won my heart! Tomorrow, all the ministers must risk their lives to speak out, and must not let Zhao Dezhao, the king of Qin, become a reality, otherwise there will be big troubles in the future."

He looked around and saw that the few people with official positions present today were all cowering, and couldn't help getting angry.

So he deliberately knocked and said, "You have always been friendly to me. If Zhao Dezhao's son comes to power in the future, you can know what will happen to you. If you block this title tomorrow, I will never treat you badly if you take over in the future!" "

Sui Jingbo hated Feng Yuantong very much in his heart, and said respectfully, "What the king said is very true. Most of the officials who follow you every day don't know the news in their hearts. I ask the king to give an order to let these counselors come up with ideas. Tomorrow everyone It’s good to be prepared.”

Zhao Guangyi nodded again and again, "Jingbo's words are reasonable. If you have official positions, walking around in such a bright way, it will not be affected by the outside world. Yuan Tong, please trouble me and pass on this word for the king."

Feng Yuantong nodded calmly, secretly cursing Sui Jingbo in his heart, this bastard talks too much, causing me to offend others.But now King Jin listened to him, and there was nothing he could do.

Tomorrow, on the day of the court meeting, those who received the notice had to speak out at the risk of offending Zhao Kuangyin. They would naturally hate whoever sent the message.

The two fought each other, each winning or losing.

At the court meeting the next day, it was true that people from the King Jin faction took the lead in launching the attack.

"Your Majesty! Although the King of Tianshui County has made extraordinary achievements recently, I think it is really inappropriate to be directly promoted to the King of Qin. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"The minister seconded the proposal! The king of Tianshui County has made great contributions to the country and should be promoted to a noble, but the minister thinks that the title should not be too high, which is against the rules of etiquette..."

"The minister also seconded the proposal! Your Majesty has always been upright and upright, and you can't break the etiquette just because of the prince's selfishness."

"The minister agrees..."

"The minister also agrees!"

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment.

"What are you motherfuckers talking about? What a mess! What King Qin!"

Those from the King of Jin family did not expect that Zhao Kuangyin would get angry in the first round if he didn't play the cards according to the routine today, and he was too scared to make a sound.

Zhao Guangyi thought to himself, "This is not okay! If the emperor suppresses him with just one word, then today's matter will probably be bad."

Gritting his teeth, he took a step forward and said in person, "Your Majesty! I also believe that the title of the Prince of Tianshui County should be as agreed upon by the Ministry of Rites. The ministers also made suggestions for the sake of etiquette..."

Zhao Kuangyin turned around after hearing what he was saying, looking for the first few people who spoke just now, and said, "Who told you that I want to make the king of Tianshui County the king of Qin?"

The first ones to speak were Tang Jixian, Huang Yuanyi and others. Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was serious, they didn't dare to face him directly, and they made vague detours without answering.

Zhao Kuangyin stood up and took a few steps back and forth in the hall, "Yesterday I received a note from the Ministry of Rites, and it was agreed that the title of King of Tianshui County should be King of Qi and King of Chu, and I have already agreed! Where did the rumor come from, that I want Change the title to the King of Qin!"

What!
This……

No joke!After Zhao Kuangyin's words, everyone from Zhao Guangyi and the Jin dynasty were all stunned.

After tossing around for a long time and risking his life to remonstrate, he actually felt lonely?
Could it be that the source of King Jin's news spread the wrong news?

Zhao Kuangyin also frowned, puzzled.

"The etiquette of the ancestors, the rules of the court, you understand, don't you know that I don't understand? You talk nonsense to me!"

He read Zhao Guangyi, Tang Jixian, Huang Yuanyi and others from beginning to end.

If it weren't for the high power of these people, I would really like to kill a few of them and demote a few more to calm them down.

The emperor and his ministers were in a daze, and no one dared to touch the emperor's bad luck in person if they wanted to do something.

Zhao Kuangyin said, "It's all right, let's leave today!" and walked away.

The civil and military officials are still in a state of collective confusion.

This is the first time such a mindless thing happened.
