I will never be Renzong

Chapter 35 The End of an Era
The time came to September, and due to the overtime work of civilian craftsmen, Song Zhenzong's mausoleum was finally completed within seven months.

Song Zhenzong's spirit car can finally be buried.

Chengming Hall.

Prime Minister Feng Zheng said: "Officials! Empress Dowager, the coffin of the late emperor travels on a grand scale. I think that the city gates and houses that the coffin passes should be demolished to facilitate the passage of chariots, horses and necromancers."

Xie Tao, the censor, said: "In the past, the late emperor went to the east to enshrine the Zen, and the west to offer sacrifices. The ceremonial instruments were the most complete. I have never heard of any demolition or anything along the way, but now the late emperor's burial is a huge extravagance, which is bound to affect everyone along the way. Prefectures and counties, disturbing the common people, I think this is not the intention of the late emperor, I hope the officials can order the Shaofu to be reduced as appropriate."

The size of the mausoleums of the emperors of the Song Dynasty was already considered modest, so Liu E did not agree with cutting down the funeral objects, and simply said: "Although there are a little more funeral objects for the late emperor, since it has been established, it is unreasonable to reduce it! But it’s best if it doesn’t disturb the people, you have a countermeasure!”

The ministers below were all deep in thought. It might be a bit difficult to pass the coffin and funeral objects without disturbing the people.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Auntie! The late emperor said that the system of mountains and tombs should be frugal, but he didn't expect the Shaofu to make such a large artifact. It’s not appropriate to cut it down anymore! That’s why I think it’s fine to demolish the low city gates. After all, they can be rebuilt, but if the people’s houses are demolished, it will be a problem for them to live, and it will inevitably lead to public resentment. It is not easy to build a house, so the houses cannot be demolished!"

"The benevolence of the officials and the sympathy for the common people are really the blessings of our country and the country of the Song Dynasty!"

Seeing that their hesitation was resolved by Zhao Zhen in a few words, the ministers below hurriedly prayed in unison.

"I've agreed not to be Renzong, how can I show my benevolence again?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing at himself.

On October 23th of the first year of Qianxing, Emperor Zhao Heng of Wenming Zhangsheng and Yuanxiao was buried in Yongding Mausoleum. On the [-]rd, the temple was named Zhenzong. Zhenzong was worshiped at the Ancestral Temple. The temple music was called "Dance of the Ming Dynasty" and was played by Queen Zhuangmu Guo. At the same time, the edict was issued to determine the name and death anniversary of Queen Zhuang Mu.

With Li Hang, Wang Dan, Li Jilong and other heroes to enjoy Zhenzong's temple.

At first, Empress Dowager Liu planned to install the items that Zhenzong wore and enjoyed throughout his life in the temple, just like in the palace, and cover the god with a silver cover.

Lu Yijian, a political adviser, said: "This is not enough to repay the late emperor. Now the world's great politics depends on the two palaces. As long as the queen mother can alienate evil, reward loyalty, and guide the emperor's character, then there is no more suitable way to repay the late emperor. .”

Lu Yijian's words were very pertinent, and Liu E, who is also a smart person, naturally listened to it.

Song Zhenzong's burial marked the end of an era, and the turbulent court in the past has returned to peace at this time.

Lei Yungong was executed, and Ding Wei also fell from power, but Qian Weiyan, who was following the trend, sat in such an important position in the imperial court as a privy envoy. He should have tucked his tail to be a talent, but he seemed a little carried away up.

Wang Zeng couldn't stand Qian Weiyan's behavior, even Feng Zheng, who was recommended by Qian Weiyan, couldn't stand it. Feng Zheng said in front of Liu E: "Qian Weiyan married his sister to the late Taiwei Liu As a wife, Mei is actually a relative by marriage of the Empress Dowager, so she is not allowed to participate in state affairs, so I request that he be transferred out."

Foreign relatives in the Song Dynasty were not allowed to participate in politics, and Qian Weiyan was the in-laws of the Empress Dowager Liu E. According to the usual practice, he was not allowed to stay in the court and serve in the court, and should be sent to other places to serve.

But Liu E wanted to protect him. Feng Zheng saw that his words were useless, and in the end Wang Zeng also ran to Liu E to say that Qian Wei's performance was wrong, and even brought Zhao Zhen to mutter about Qian Wei's performance in front of Liu E.

Everyone said that even if Liu E wanted to protect him, he could not provoke public anger, so in November, apart from Qian Weiyan's position as a privy envoy, he was demoted to the military envoy of the Baoda Army, Zhiheyang.

But I have to say that Qian Weiyan's face is really thick. As soon as he arrived at the place, he asked Liu E for money to reward the soldiers of the Baoda Army and buy people's hearts. At least he felt that he owed him a little, so he simply sold his face and agreed to the matter.

However, Cai Qi, the royal censor, objected. Cai Qi said: "The power of rewards and punishments for soldiers should be determined by the officials and the queen mother, and cannot be given at the request of the ministers. Now the officials have only been on the throne for less than a year. I am related to the Empress Dowager by marriage, and I actually asked for money to be used as my favor. I impeach Qian Weiyan for this move, which is suspected of buying people's hearts. Never forget the Empress Dowager's lesson!"

Seeing this, Liu E didn't want to pay attention to Qian Weiyan anymore, but Zhao Zhen didn't let it go, because he had seen Qian Weiyan's attributes, and his morality was only 8 points. And it also has military power. Isn't this a disaster place?I'm afraid that if the reward is false, the real thing is to get a fortune out of it.

Zhao Zhen simply explained it in front of Liu E with embellishments. In the end, Qian Weiyan was awarded a vain job before his butt was hot, and he was unemployed at home.

In fact, Zhao Zhen didn't even want to give Liu E a false job, but after all, he wanted to sell Liu E's face.

In Funing Hall, Zhao Zhen was flipping through a book boredly.

After Song Zhenzong was buried, his life was very leisurely, and even the system did not come out to disturb him, but there was an irreparable rift in the relationship between him and Liu E.

For some unknown reason, Liu E not only agreed to Cai Boyu's frequent visits to the palace to accompany Zhao Zhen, but also sent his nephew Liu Congde to accompany Zhao Zhen, and his control over Zhao Zhen was not as strict as before.

Zhao Zhen didn't even have to go out of the palace once, but went to the shops in Kaifeng, or went to the countryside for a while. After all, in Liu E's eyes, Zhao Zhen was just a child.

It has been almost two years since Zhao Zhen came to the Northern Song Dynasty, and finally he was able to leave the palace, just like a bird imprisoned in a cage returning to nature, full of curiosity about everything and everything.

Witnessing the prosperity of Kaifeng 1000 years ago, Zhao Zhen was also very excited. He tasted all the plum blossom steamed stuffed buns in Wanglou Cave, Granny Cao’s meatloaf, Li Sifen tea, and Li Dalang’s sesame seed cakes. He visited the night market in Kaifeng once, and he was lucky enough to see such things as breaking boulders in the chest, breathing fire, swallowing swords, shadow puppetry, playing Tang people, making clay figurines, and the legendary ventriloquist.

It’s hard to come to Kaifeng thousands of years ago. If you don’t go to the land of fireworks and willows, wouldn’t it be a waste of time? Just as Zhao Zhen headed to the brothel with curiosity to kill cats, no matter whether it’s flattery The flattering Cai Boyu and the honest and dull Liu Congde both changed their ways and vowed to stop him.

Good guy, the officials actually want to go to a brothel. If the ministers of the court find out, their heads will definitely be lost.

Zhao Zhen saw that the two of them smashed their foreheads in order to prevent him from going to the brothel, so he dismissed the idea. After all, he is not Song Huizong, and there is no Li Shishi in the brothel at this time.

Firework Ruoshang: Where did the recommendation ticket go!No more, and I'm starving to death!
