When Li Shun was successfully captured by Xue Yuyang, the peasant uprising that lasted for one and a half years came to an end. Unlike the long-lasting resistance movement that had occurred in history, Zhao Weiji had done enough to suppress the rebellion.

Prepare and handle matters properly after the rebel leader is crowned.

On the tenth day after Li Shun was captured, Chengdu welcomed a guest, Zhang Shu. However, this time he did not come for inspection, but came in a prison car to appease the public's anger.

"You have today too."

"How much did you charge Qi Yuanzhen?"

"You need to take full responsibility for today in Shu."

…

In short, I followed Zhang Shu on a tour of the streets in Chengdu, and the streets were filled with all kinds of rotten vegetables.

The fall of Zhang Shu was only the first step for Zhao Weiji to ask Zhao Guangyi how to deal with the aftermath of the entire Shu rebellion. The second step was to announce that all soldiers who participated in the killing of officials would be exempted from crime, and these officials who were killed would only need to be investigated

Those who are found guilty of corruption and bending the law will be dismissed from official positions and will not enjoy any benefits of sacrifice in the line of duty.

In fact, the first step of this step is to completely quell public anger. The officials who were killed must have died unjustly, but for the sake of the overall situation at this moment, we can only let this small group of people suffer unjust injustice. The overall situation is more important,

This is a consensus reached by Zhao Weiji and Zhao Guangyi.

The third step of the measure was to cancel the gambling. The most important one among Zhao Weiji's instructions to Zhao Guangyi was that the plundering of Shuzhong had been too intense for a long time. The previous two regimes of Shuzhong were successively destroyed.

When it was eliminated, it had already been plundered a lot by the Central Plains dynasty. Then it set up institutions such as Bomuwu to increase exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which further increased the burden on the people of Shu. If things go on like this, new uprisings will definitely break out.

The last step of the measure was Zhao Weiji's private goods. Although the outbreak of the Shuzhong uprising had the impact of Shaanxi refugees flowing into Shu, it was not the root cause. However, Zhao Weiji still included it. This was not Zhao Weiji's.

The idea was proposed to him by Guo Bailue. Because Zhao Weiji needed refugees, and Guo Bailuo had a way to rationalize Zhao Weiji's absorption of refugees, which was to attribute part of the cause of the uprising to the refugees.

In this way, the court will definitely have to deal with the problem of refugees. But it is not easy for the court to deal with these refugees now, because Shaanzhou has not fully recovered its vitality, and it is impossible for a large number of refugees to return at this moment. In this way, Zhao Weiji can take advantage of

The excuse of promoting corn cultivation has attracted a large number of refugees.

When the second batch of corn was harvested in large quantities, Zhao Weiji had already reported it to Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi also valued this new crop that could alleviate the food problem of the Song Dynasty, and had already begun to look for suitable places to plant it across the country.

Already.

Liuqiu is an excellent place to grow corn, but it has never been developed too much before. Although Liuqiu was mainly developed by Zhao Weiji at this time, as long as it was conducive to the development of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi was too lazy to take care of it.

So many immigrants, who were originally illegal, became legal.

After basically dealing with the rebellion in Shu, all Zhao Weiji had to do was wait for the arrival of the new Shu officials appointed by Zhao Guangyi, and then he could retire.

Just as he was waiting for the new officials to take office, bad news came from the capital: Zhao Weiji's eldest brother Zhao Weizheng died of illness.

"How could he die at this time? Historically, he still had a long time to live. Why did this happen?" Since the news of Zhao Weizheng's death came, Zhao Weiji locked himself in his room for several days. Not only

Because of the pain of losing a loved one, and the death of Zhao Weizheng at this moment will also be a great misfortune for Zhao Weiji from a political perspective, because his biggest shield is gone.

Things have to go back to the Golden Chamber Alliance. According to the legend, Empress Dowager Du’s Golden Chamber Alliance stipulated this. Out of consideration for the Song Dynasty, she hoped that Zhao Kuangyin could pass the throne to Zhao Guangyi, and then Zhao Guangyi would pass the throne to him.

It was passed down to Zhao Tingmei, and the brothers eventually succeeded each other. But only these three brothers survived in the Zhao family. What about after Zhao Tingmei? There are no more brothers, so who should it be given to? Zhao Tingmei’s son?

Of course not. After Zhao Tingmei's death, the throne should be passed on to Zhao Kuangyin's "eldest son" Zhao Dezhao, then to Zhao Guangyi's eldest son, and finally to Zhao Tingmei's eldest son. Then back to Zhao Kuangyin's lineage, in short, the three lines take turns to take over.

But now the problem has arisen. Because of Zhao Tingmei's rebellion, his lineage has lost the right to inherit and is dead. Zhao Dezhao also committed suicide because of the Northern Expedition. The remaining ones are Zhao Guangyi's son and Zhao Kuangyin's grandson.

.Who should it be given to at this time? According to the principle of the three chakras taking turns, it should be returned to the Zhao Kuangyin line. But if it is returned to the Zhao Kuangyin line, what about Zhao Guangyi's son? I have heard of the crown prince, the crown prince, and the crown prince.

Sun, I have never heard of Emperor Taishu.

What's the deal with a nephew's death and his uncle's succession? But we have to abide by the Golden Chamber Agreement, otherwise there will be problems with Zhao Guangyi's legal succession.

So the best way is to establish a virtuous person, a son or a nephew, and give it to whoever is virtuous. In this way, Zhao Guangyi can cheat. How can we see the virtuous? It is natural to have meritorious service, whether it is Zhao Yuanxi or the current Zhao Heng or Zhao Guangyi

They have always been given opportunities to show themselves. However, Zhao Weizheng has been suppressed intentionally or unintentionally.

On the one hand, he is constantly showing his sagacity, and on the other hand, he is unknown. When his time comes, and for the sake of the Song Dynasty, it will be justifiable for him to have his own son.

But it happened that Zhao Weizheng was gone at this time. If he was gone, he would be gone. However, Zhao Weizheng still had no heir. The result of this was that Zhao Dezhao's second son Zhao Weiji, who had no chance at all, suddenly took his place and became the suitable heir.

Already.

Now we are in trouble. If we want to be wise, Zhao Weiji can say that he has surpassed Zhao Heng by more than ten blocks. He has military merits and social achievements. Even the most important folk reputation has been accumulated because of this counterinsurgency. Such and so on

"Saint", what do you do with him?

Now Zhao Guangyi was completely out of ideas. He originally thought that no matter what happened, it would not be Zhao Weiji's turn, so he could allow him to keep coming up with new tricks. Because according to the previous order, no matter what he did, he would still be a wise king.

But when Zhao Weizheng died and had no heirs, the "Wise King" Zhao Weiji directly threatened Zhao Heng's position. What should Zhao Guangyi do now?

It's time for Zhao Guangyi to scratch his head, but Zhao Weiji is also having a hard time. Although he wants to be emperor, he is also self-aware. Even if he has wisdom and knowledge that is a thousand years ahead of his time, he doesn't think he can do it now.

He defeated the old fox Zhao Guangyi.

He had only been in the Song Dynasty for more than ten years, and he might be able to compete with Zhao Guangyi, who had been running the Song Dynasty for nearly 30 years. In this era, power is the truth. In Zhao Weiji's view, these tricks he played were unable to defeat Zhao Guangyi's iron fist in the Zhao Guangyi era.

The only chance is to wait for Zhao Heng's succession. Although Song Zhenzong is smart, but has a somewhat cowardly character, taking the stage is the stage where Zhao Weiji can truly fully demonstrate himself.

Therefore, Zhao Weiji has been avoiding direct conflict with Zhao Guangyi, and the existence of his brother Zhao Weizheng has also provided a good shield for Zhao Weiji.

One of the two people the emperor does not want to give has the ability but not the qualifications, and the other has the qualifications but not the ability. The person the emperor wants to give has the qualifications and some ability. In this situation, everyone is happy.

Now it's funny and everyone is unhappy.

But it's funny. It's necessary to go back to Beijing for the funeral. Everything has to be discussed after returning to the capital.

So Zhao Weiji took Zhao Xin, Tie Zheng who had returned from Jingzhou, and Guo Bailue to the capital, while Li Jiguang was left to guard Shuzhong.

At the same time, he also sent a letter to Huating, asking Chai Yu to take Li Nian and the three children to Beijing, and Jiang Yu would also go with him.

Because at this time Zhao Weiji had to figure out what to do next, so he had to bring along all the people who were trustworthy and needed the right to do so.

Ten days later, at the Wei Palace in the capital.

This day was the day of Zhao Weizheng's funeral. Since he had no heirs, Zhao Weiji and other brothers had to bear all the funeral responsibilities.

This funeral ceremony was quite beautiful. In order to show the importance he attached to his eldest brother's descendants, Zhao Guangyi gave Zhao Weizheng the treatment of a prince. He also allowed Zhao Weizheng to be buried in the Yongchang Mausoleum of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, alongside Taizu Taizu.

In this way, the younger brother Zhao Weihe held the flag, and the remaining three brothers carried the coffin. Then, followed by many relatives, they formed a mighty funeral procession and left the city.

On top of the city, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Heng were also watching the entire team to express their condolences.

After the team left the sight of Taizong and his son, Zhao Heng spoke first: "Father, what should we do now? We are very lucky now. If the people in the court take advantage of this situation, it will not be easy to deal with."

"I also have a headache. Why did Wei Zheng pass away so suddenly? Now it's Wei Ji. To be honest, it's not easy for me to handle. After all, Wei Ji has developed so well in the past two years. Now if I touch him, it will cause trouble."

Huge waves." Zhao Guangyi's mood at this moment cannot be described as regretful. Although he gave Zhao Weiji the opportunity to develop into what he is today, this does not make him regret it. Although Zhao Weiji is already difficult to handle at this time,

But it’s not impossible to deal with it. It just needs to minimize the losses.

At the same time, Zhao Weiji, who was carrying the coffin, was also thinking about the same problem as Zhao Guangyi, which was how to deal with himself. Zhao Weiji also needed to "deal with" himself at the minimum cost. Because only in this way can he completely preserve his strength.

It wasn't until Zhao Guangyi died that he tried to make a comeback.

Both parties troubled by the same problem are destined to have a sleepless night.
