My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 129 127. A great national tragedy, laughing and asking where the guest came from

A grand funeral was held.

This is a funeral about Zhao Xuanqi.

This was a funeral promised to Zhao Xuanqi by Emperor Qianli.

The legendary state funeral is nothing more than this. Even the death of an emperor does not have such a grand appearance.

Whether they are those who hate Zhao Xuanqi, or those who fear and love Zhao Xuanqi, they all choose to bid farewell to Zhao Xuanqi silently today.

No matter what, the scene of the country's destruction of mountains and rivers twenty or thirty years ago is still vivid in my mind. The severe drought and cannibalism are still not far away. After all, it was Zhao Xuanqi who saved the building from falling and saved countless people in dire straits. , and also completed the repair of the broken mountains and rivers, and achieved such a stable country today, and achieved this situation of unification of the north and the south.

The hatred of the old bureaucrats and nobles for Zhao Xuanqi, and the hatred of the old forces in the court for Zhao Xuanqi's backstabbing. This is the alternation of the old and new forces. This is the alternation of the top people. After all, it does not affect the people at the bottom.

They only care about whether they can have enough to eat and understand the difference between the hard days in the past and the stable and healthy lives now, whether it is hybrid rice or quelling war.

The names of the Thunder God General, the Harvest God, and the Saint are spread all over the world.

The people at the bottom worshiped Zhao Xuanqi almost like a believer. No matter what Zhao Xuanqi did, they only had trust and support.

This time, Zhao Xuanqi was dismissed for corruption and bribery, and for colluding with important officials of the imperial court to form a clique for private affairs. Countless people felt that this was unfair. Instead, they thought that Emperor Qianli was short-sighted and cursed the emperor, thinking that the emperor secretly killed the grand master. There was so much about this. There are accusations.

The grand master has made such great achievements, suffered so much when he was young, was displaced for the sake of the country, and fought in the north and south. What's wrong with wanting a little money when he is old?

If there were no Grand Master, the country would definitely be ruined. I am afraid that it would fall into hundreds of years of turmoil, the people would be in dire straits, and mourning would be everywhere. He had done so much for the people of the world, and he had given countless people enough to eat. What happened to a little money?

If possible, countless people would be willing to give money to Zhao Xuanqi.

The funeral was held as scheduled.

This grand funeral was held all over the country.

During this huge ceremony, Zhao Xuanqi had already left the prosperous city of Luoyang. The carriage he was riding in was heading towards his hometown, towards Ziyun County, and towards Shixi County.

He was like an indifferent passerby, an emotionless supporting character, who left the center of the whirlpool, abandoned everything, and returned home as fast as he could.

In the carriage, Zhao Xuanqi opened the curtain and could look out at the magnificent mountains and rivers. He could also see countless people praying for him and grieving for him.

Paper money and banknotes were scattered almost everywhere. Countless people scattered paper money on the road or burned money on the roadside to see off the grand master.

It was as if there was a rain of paper money all over the world, covering the mountains and plains, all the avenues, and the ground covered with paper money.

This rain of money made up of banknotes is the romance of the people towards Zhao Xuanqi.

Looking at all this, Zhao Xuanqi's mind was filled with thoughts.

He had many thoughts in his mind.

Includes a summary of the incident.

This time, the reason why I did it so cruelly and why I sacrificed myself was actually out of necessity.

In fact, when you reach a high position, many things are forced.

If Emperor Qinglong did not die, everything would be easy to say. All the important officials of the imperial court and all civil and military officials could be suppressed by Emperor Qinglong. Those heroes and generals would be willing to obey Emperor Qinglong's arrangements.

Zhao Xuanqi will leave as soon as he leaves. As long as Emperor Qinglong is here, he can rule the country very well and convince the people.

But he died.

These talents prepared for Emperor Qinglong became the old officials of the imperial court. They held high positions and had many soldiers and generals. They became representatives of the forces and interests of the old era. The country was unified and the interests have been redistributed by these old forces. complete.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, they are the obstacle.

The new emperor could not suppress these old ministers.

These old ministers and civil servants were all veterans of two dynasties or even three dynasties, while the generals were elite soldiers with great military exploits.

He couldn't suppress it.

If Emperor Qianli wants to ascend to power and form a new fresh force, he must remove the old force group from power, and conflicts must break out with this old force group.

When Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that his grandson was young and would not be able to control important ministers, veterans and elite soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang's approach was to go on a killing spree.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the ministers of civil and military affairs, and all the people who might affect his grandson's rise to power. He killed all the people who should be killed, and all the people who should not be killed. The killings were bloody and earth-shattering. Killed too.

This is the most brutal method.

Looking further back in history, there is a milder method, that is, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin released his military power over a cup of wine, and removed all military power from the guys who conquered the world. Those guys who conquered the country could live a stable life as rich men. .

However, Zhao Xuanqi cannot release his military power with a glass of wine, because the loyal protagonist Qianli Emperor in the story is not Zhao Kuangyin who is good at fighting. The protagonist of the story is a young emperor Qianli Emperor who has just turned 20 years old. He has no connections and resources, and wants to win from the old forces. To obtain benefits, even after releasing military power over a glass of wine, the little emperor could not suppress the remaining civil servants.

Therefore,

Under the current situation in Wei State, the only option is to go on a killing spree.

As a central figure of the old forces, what can Zhao Xuanqi do?

There were only three choices he could make.

The first choice is to wait quietly for death, turn a blind eye, not care about anything, die in an ordinary way, stop working for the country, die in one night, and die at night with great fame.

Die peacefully and do nothing else.

After death, no matter how great the flood is, he will die peacefully.

The second is to allow conflicts to break out, and conflicts between old force groups and new force groups will eventually break out.

With the ability of the little emperor, there was no way he could defeat the group of arrogant soldiers who ended the unification war. The old power group destroyed Emperor Qianli's new group.

In the end, Zhao Xuanqi, the core figure of the old power group, was pushed to power. Even if Zhao Xuanqi was unwilling to be the emperor, those subordinates would help him wear the yellow robe and eventually create a new dynasty.

However, Zhao Xuanqi has been loyal and benevolent for most of his life and has been a role model for the world. If he behaves like this, he will be more hateful than the old Chinese Sima thief, his reputation will be more serious, and his etiquette will be ruined.

It was impossible for him to choose this path.

The third option is the choice he is making now.

A stroke of stud.

Zhao Xuanqi himself is the leader of the old power group. Now the important officials in the court are basically his team. They are all the team he prepared for Emperor Qinglong. They are all old members with deep qualifications. They are all partners who conquer the world with Zhao Xuanqi. And brothers.

He directly carried out the revolution himself, got rid of the old force group headed by himself, and carried out the revolution from top to bottom.

When he is about to die, he will take these old brothers and fellows away together, clean them all up, accept the infamy, take away this old force group together, and by the way, obtain their countless properties, make a gift package for newbies, and give it all to thousands of people. Emperor Li.
