Chapter 62 Paradox
"Can any of you explain to me what is going on?" The person who was furious at this moment was not Zhao Guangyi or Zhao Yuanxi, but Zhao Weiji.
The Winter Solstice has passed, and the New Year will soon be approaching, but Zhao Weiji is not in any mood, because just when he is happily preparing to wait for the Winter Solstice, Mi Xin's rebellion fails, and then implicates Zhao Yuanxi, causing him to fall into a situation of no return.
At that moment, something strange happened.
Mi Xin's unusual coup was smashed by Zhao Guangyi, who was well prepared. Mi Xin himself was also executed, but Zhao Yuanxi, who was used by Mi Xin as the name of the coup, did not do anything. Zhao Guangyi directly came forward to explain that Zhao Yuanxi was the name of the coup.
Mi Xin abused it because he himself had not participated in any coup operations. As for the reason why the court was able to know in advance and take precautions, it was because someone within Mi Xin reported it.
In this way, all those who did not know the truth were deceived, while Zhao Weiji and Zhao Yuanxi, who knew the truth, had completely different reactions.
Of course Zhao Weiji was furious. I have been plotting for so long just to get you into hell. Unexpectedly, after pushing you to the edge of the hell hole, I kicked you to the other side of the hole with the last kick.
Are you kidding me?
And Zhao Yuanxi had a feeling of surviving a catastrophe. It's okay. It seems that the last time my father drove me out without saying a word was not a big deal. All the things before were just because of my ignorance. My crown prince.
The position is still stable and Zhao Heng will not pose any threat to me.
"We don't know why. Logically speaking, even if Zhao Yuanxi took the initiative to surrender to Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi wouldn't punish Zhao Yuanxi at all, right?" Jiang Yu also didn't understand this matter.
Even Tie Zheng and Linghuhuang were caught blind. They had never seen such a bizarre thing. Although Mi Xin introduced the coup because of his own misunderstanding, without Zhao Yuanxi's win over, how could Mi Xin have the idea of a coup?
Even tracing the origin of Zhao Yuanxi's relationship can't be clarified. How could there be nothing wrong with him?
"Let me check and find out who is Zhao Yuanxi's mother?" At this time, the only thing Zhao Weiji could think of as to why Zhao Yuanxi would be fine might be that Zhao Guangyi really liked this prince so much that he did not hesitate to do such a treasonous thing to him.
I still have to protect him after the incident.
However, given that Zhao Yuanxi did not show outstanding achievements in the past, the only explanation can only be found from Zhao Yuanxi's mother. After all, it is not unheard of in history for a son to love his mother and his wife. After all, there was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty before.
The deposed prince Liu Ju established his younger son Liu Fuling, and later Kangxi established and deposed the prince Yinfeng. It is possible that the mother of the child had a change in the position of the prince or could not bear the change.
But the problem is that Zhao Yuanxi's mother has never been recorded in historical records. She is like a mystery. So at this time, Zhao Weiji can only use the entire pigeon system to find out Zhao Yuanxi's mysterious mother. Maybe he can explain why.
Such a bizarre thing happened.
…
Three months have passed, and the transfer has come to February of the third year of Chunhua. Although Pigeon tried his best to investigate Zhao Yuanxi's life experience, his mother was really like a mystery and could not find any clues.
As for Zhao Yuanxi, although his position as Kaifeng Yin was not shaken, he soon discovered that his actual rights were constantly decreasing, and many of the actual matters that had to be dealt with in Kaifeng Mansion had been handed over to Zhao Heng. This
Zhao Yuanxi's face is a bit lost. What does the emperor mean by this? He has not removed my position as Kaifeng Yin, but he is constantly denying my rights. Is he preparing to humiliate me?
It's no wonder that he felt like this. Zhao Guangyi's handling of this matter was indeed very inappropriate. When he learned about the Mi Xin incident, he was already extremely disappointed with Zhao Yuanxi. But as Zhao Weiji speculated, because
Because of Zhao Yuanxi’s mother, Zhao Guangyi did not attack Zhao Yuanxi, but smoothed things over for him and kept the position of Kaifeng Yin. Because he knew that if Zhao Yuanxi’s position as crown prince was removed at once, the child would
Completely useless, this is definitely what the mother of the child does not want to see in heaven.
However, out of political rationality, Zhao Guangyi also knew that he could no longer let Zhao Yuan go on eating, because he knew that this child was a master who had healed and forgotten the pain of his scars. If he was not restricted, who knows what more extreme things this child would do.
incident, so he began to support Zhao Heng to gradually take over Zhao Yuanxi's power.
Although Zhao Guangyi had good intentions, he felt that in this way he could slowly extend his power without causing huge harm to Zhao Yuanxi and making him unable to recover from the fall. However, Zhao Guangyi ignored one point, that is, in the crown prince
After sitting in the position for many years, Zhao Yuanxi developed a political self-esteem, and it was unacceptable for him to live a life of a prince in name only.
So now Zhao Yuanxi has gradually forgotten how his father smoothed things over and protected him, and instead began to gradually deepen his hatred for Zhao Guangyi.
In the eyes of Zhao Yuanxi, everything Zhao Guangyi did was not to protect himself but to humiliate himself. Zhao Guangyi was indeed extremely disappointed with himself, but he did not intend to give himself a happy life, but was prepared to slowly humiliate himself until he had enough humiliation.
Kick yourself away again and let Zhao Heng take the position.
At this time, Zhao Yuanxi had fallen into a neurotic and extreme state. He believed that everyone in the Song Dynasty was now his enemy. This was a very dangerous state, but Zhao Guangyi didn't know it, and neither did Zhao Weiji, but he guessed
arrive.
Although Pigeon finally found no conclusive evidence about Zhao Yuanxi's mother, many clues pointed the finger at one person, that is, Zhao Guangyi's original wife, Yin Shi, who died very early and was later posthumously named Queen Shude.
This Yin Shi is a mysterious woman. There are almost no records about her. We only know that she married Taizong very early, but later Taizong seemed to have married the later Queen Fu. Yin Shi said that she died early, but there was no such thing.
Specifically what year it was. I just know that he died in a very unclear way.
But in terms of love, Taizong had a very good relationship with his original wife. The Queen Fu he later married had the flavor of a political marriage, because Queen Fu's sister was the queen of Zhou Shizong.
So for this Yin style, Empress Yin should have made a lot of sacrifices for Taizong, so it may be because of this mother that Taizong always protected Zhao Yuanxi. This makes sense only after inferring this.
Zhao Weiji's inference can be said to be basically correct. In order for Zhao Guangyi to succeed in his official career, Yin Shi falsely claimed that he had died of illness very early, so that Zhao Guangyi could successfully marry Empress Fu in the name of continuing his marriage. She was originally the first wife.
However, she sacrificed her reputation so that her husband could benefit, and then secretly followed her husband for many years until she died of dystocia after giving birth to Zhao Yuanxi.
Therefore, Zhao Guangyi felt more guilty for Yin Shi than love, so he tried every means to protect Zhao Yuanxi, but he did not expect that he would be resented instead.
"If that's really the case, it all makes sense, but then there's nothing we can do if we try to get him again, as long as the officials are determined to protect him." Jiang Yu can only deal with the current situation.
It can be described as helpless.
"I think Zhao Yuanxi's current state is more terrifying than before." Just when the staff were worried, Zhao Weiji suddenly said this.
"Oh, please give me some advice, Your Majesty."
"It's very simple. If he was in a desperate state because he was afraid of officials before, now he is probably living in a state of hating officials."
As soon as these words came out, the other three people couldn't understand even more. Where did the hatred come from? Why would he hate the officials when the officials would go to this extent for him?
"The reason why he fell into hatred is because the Guan family did not lose all their minds for him. Although the Guan family retained his so-called crown prince position, we can see from the news coming from Beijing that the Guan family now
Zhao Yuanxi's rights are gradually being reduced. Such a move is undoubtedly a humiliation for Zhao Yuanxi. It does not oust him, but it also takes away his rights. People who have been the prince for so long will naturally have a sense of pride.
, he will definitely not feel comfortable with this kind of thing that makes him an empty shell.
In this way, he will be biased in his view of the official family, thinking that the official's previous actions to protect him were also a kind of humiliation to him. Once this view is formed, his gratitude to the official family will disappear.
What follows is endless hatred. If he really falls into such a state, we don't actually need to take any more actions. We will just wait for him to destroy himself."
Following Zhao Weiji's explanation, everyone seemed to understand something. Since Zhao Weiji said there was no need to dwell on this matter, there would be no further discussion. Because at this time, something bigger is going to happen in Huating.
Although Zhao Weiji was not prepared to pay more attention to Zhao Yuanxi, Zhao Yuanxi's condition at this time attracted the attention of another person, that is Yelu Mo who was far away in Liao Kingdom.
After Yelumo gained certain rights in the Liao Kingdom, he attached great importance to mastering the internal intelligence of the Song Dynasty, so he probably knew all the recent events in the Song Dynasty.
Although he didn't know that Zhao Yuanxi had a strong hatred for Zhao Guangyi, he knew that a prince of the Song Dynasty who was gradually losing his rights would be beneficial to the Liao Dynasty. They could use this prince who was losing his rights but had not yet completely lost them as a
Some articles. Regardless of whether the final article is big or small, it can bring some trouble to the Song Dynasty, and this is enough.
As a result, the Liao Kingdom sent Xi Zuo to contact Zhao Yuanxi.
