Chen Ben treacherous

Jia She rushed towards him, as if mourning his concubine, crying, "Your Majesty, he has passed away!"

Although the people in front of the hall had expected this to happen long ago, when the news came suddenly, everyone was still stunned, and the square with thousands of people was completely silent.

Zhao Qi turned around, his voice was very steady: "Zhi Chuan, what did you just say?"

Jia She said: "The official family is dead!"

Although his words were not loud, everyone could hear them clearly because of the silence around them. After half a cup of tea was silent, everyone began to howl along with Jia She.

Li Fengniang staggered even more and almost fainted.

Zhao Qi then ordered someone to notify the court ministers and Li Fengniang to resettle the harem. At this moment, the guards of his palace had already arrived to guard the palace, while the army led by Gu Pengfei was guarding the capital.

Yang Ran's Imperial City Imperial Army still guards the imperial palace, everything is orderly, but occasionally heard Zhao Buyu's whining cry: "Father, father, don't die...don't die!"

When a folk father dies, he should observe filial piety for three years, and he must not be revived; the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the emperor should observe filial piety for three days to show filial piety.

Three days later, in the Ancestral Temple in Lin'an Palace, Zhao Qi officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor wearing the emperor's crown.

All the officials congratulated and knelt down on the ground. When the morning glow first rose, Zhao Qi walked from the Taimiao to the Zihuan Hall and formally accepted the worship of the officials.

After Zhao Qi ascended the throne, all the women in Zhao Liming's harem moved to live in Linde Palace, and Li Fengniang was honored as the queen mother, so she also had to move.

She is only one year older than Zhao Qi, but now she is the Empress Dowager, and Zhao Qi will also salute her when he sees her.

But Li Fengniang hurriedly reached out to stop Zhao Qi, and said to Zhao Qi: "The officials don't need to be so generous, if the officials didn't try their best to protect each other, Fengniang might have been buried today!"

Zhao Qiwei smiled, but did not answer. Although his parents are still alive, they are ordinary clans, so naturally they cannot be sealed.Although Li Fengniang is not a queen, she has the flesh and blood of the late emperor in her belly. Respecting her as queen mother is not only in the meaning of favor, but also because Li Fengniang once stood up to support her back then, to show that she does not forget her kindness.

After everyone moved out, Zhao Qi took his wife and concubines over.He has a concubine and two concubines. Zhao Qixin is enthroned, and he is busy with a lot of affairs.The matter of conferring himself as a concubine was pushed to the back instead.

During these days, everyone was a little panic-stricken. The civil servants were busy with the funeral of the old emperor, the generals doubled their guards to prevent any troubles, and the ordinary people were talking about it, wondering what the character of the new emperor was.Of all the people, Jia She is probably the most leisurely, he has no errands, he only has the name of a young master, and he has nothing to do.

After Zhao Qi ascended the throne, it was inconvenient for him to live in the old palace of the palace, and his own home had been converted into a post house, so he couldn't go back for a while.He originally wanted to find an inn or rent a room to live in, but Gu Pengfei was almost half-kidnapped and half-coaxed, and finally succeeded in persuading Jia She to live in his home for the time being.

During the day, Jia She had fun with his old friends in Beijing, but at night he would inevitably be harassed by Gu Pengfei, which was a bit miserable.

This day he was playing with Gu Pengfei's son at Gu Pengfei's residence, when he suddenly saw the eunuch next to Zhao Qi coming, saying that the emperor had something important to discuss.

Jia She was taken aback, looked up at the sky, it was already dark, and he didn't know why Zhao Qi was looking for him in the middle of the night.He looked at Gu Pengfei with a sense of reluctance, but Gu Pengfei didn't raise his head: "Come back earlier, I'll wait for you!"

Jia She then followed the eunuch and walked towards the palace. He had been to the palace many times and was familiar with it. In the past, the lights were brightly lit at night. When he came in now, he doubted whether he had entered the palace. Not to mention, there is not even the faint sound of silk and bamboo that can be heard faintly when walking on this road in the past. Only a few palaces have lights, and the rest of the places are dark.

He followed the eunuch all the way in, and after a while, he arrived at the Chongzheng Palace where the emperor usually works and discusses matters.

On the candlestick in the hall, two rows of candles were flickering. Zhao Qi was wearing a light brown robe and a crown of black gauze wings on his head. He was looking down at the brochure.

Following the eunuch's instruction, Jia She walked into the hall, knelt down and saluted: "I bow to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Qi raised his head suddenly, his brows were still wrinkled, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Zhi Chuan, you don't need to be polite, I have something to discuss with you!"

Jia She was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Qi calling himself "I". He stood up and looked at Zhao Qi, only to see that Zhao Qi had lost a lot of weight and looked more and more lean. Although he looked a little tired, he seemed to be in good spirits, so he He also said with a smile: "This time is different from the past. Your Majesty has already ascended the Great Treasure, and I dare not be rude to the King."

An imperceptible look of disappointment slid across Zhao Qi's face. He waved his hand, ordered everyone to retreat, and closed the door of the main hall, before saying: "There is something that you guessed right! You just received Urgent report, Xichuan's Wang family and his son took advantage of the fire to rob, and the self-proclaimed king rebelled!"

Jia She said: "When I came here, I was thinking about it, it's about this time!"

Zhao Qi frowned slightly, and said: "There is no one else here, you and I are talking, why do you have to behave like a monarch and a minister?"

Jia She said: "Since Your Majesty has proclaimed himself emperor, you should get used to it!"

Zhao Qi pursed his lips and did not speak. After a while, he reached out to grab Jia She's hand, and said, "Zhi Chuan, you were not like this before, why are you so unfamiliar with me all of a sudden?"

Jia She changed the subject and said, "Have Wang's father and son occupied the entire territory of Xichuan? What is the specific situation of Xichuan?"

Zhao Qi pulled Jia She to his seat, spread out the paperwork from the local officials and handed it to Jia She, saying, "Look for yourself! The Wangs and their sons have firearms, and they have trained new troops. All of a sudden, The momentum is like a broken bamboo, and all the roads into Sichuan have been controlled!"

Jia She carefully looked at the memorials, but Zhao Qi walked around the hall a little uneasy: "I've thought about it for a long time, they will definitely take action, but I never thought it would be so fast! What do you think it should be?" What should I do?"

Jia She had finished reading all the reports, now seeing Zhao Qixiang asking, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry so much!"

Zhao Qidao: "There are fierce daggers in the north, and the Wangs and their sons are rebelling in the west. I have thought about it for a long time. If we send troops to encircle and suppress, it will be difficult to enter Sichuan, and the Tatars said that the soldiers they sent this time are old, weak and sick. Although Li Xianzhi is stationed in the Jianghuai generation, he has already returned, so it should not be a problem, but I am worried that Li Wende who is stationed in the Jinghu area will be vulnerable! Besides, where is the main road to Sichuan, if the Wang family and his son are with Lie Dagger If we plan to attack Jing Xiang together, Li Wende must not be the opponent!"

Jia She didn't speak, Zhao Qi continued: "I have never been in charge before, although I vaguely know about it, but I don't know the real situation of my dynasty. In the past month, I have counted all the treasury. The troops are insufficient and the people are exhausted. The treasury is empty, do you know how much silver is left in the treasury? I really can’t believe that such a big country doesn’t even have 1 taels of silver in the treasury!”

Jia She didn't know that he was so empty, he suddenly recalled the thing that Zhao De said before that he wanted to share the money with him, and when he made a move, it was more than one hundred thousand taels...

Zhao Qidao: "It's no wonder that the first emperor refused to go to war. It's just that this is not the way to go!"

Jia She said: "Your Majesty, we will deal with the matter step by step. In my opinion, in order to resist the Tatars, I must stabilize the interior. The first priority is to stabilize the Tatars and put down the rebellion of Xichuan Wang and his son. !"

Zhao Qi thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right, our financial resources are exhausted, if we don't have Xichuan, we can only drink the northwest wind! This time, if Xichuan can be calmed down, and the Wangs and his sons can be seized, the national treasury can also be enriched! According to reports from local officials, the new army trained by the Wangs and his sons is very brave in combat, and their actions are even faster, and they are not afraid of life and death!"

Jia She smiled and said, "But there is also a fatal weakness! I have participated in their new army training, and I know it very well! I will be able to pacify Xichuan without spending money and food!"

Zhao Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "What do you want to see? I also thought that you have been in Xichuan for so long, and you must be very familiar with the situation there, so I didn't show these memorials and battle reports to others, so I came to you directly." !"

Jia She said: "The new army of Wang's father and son, relying on the advantage of firearms, is easy to conquer the city, but when I gave them the gunpowder formula, I slightly changed it, so they are not really invincible! Your Majesty can definitely step up at this time. Make firearms, and Gu Pengfei's army also has most of the well-trained soldiers, who can use them directly!"

Zhao Qi smiled, couldn't help holding Jia She's hand tightly, and said, "Zhi Chuan, the heavens must have sent you to me!"

Jia Shedao: "There is also his new army. When I left Xichuan that day, there were 1000 of Gu Pengfei's subordinates still in it. The organizational structure of the new army also has loopholes. Among them is a group of soldiers who are not under the control of the chief. Your Majesty can Send people to contact these people, they will be of great use to disperse and disintegrate the rebels from the inside! What's more, their training methods are mainly infantry. If the imperial army can hold on to the city and have artillery as the backing, it will be difficult for them to drive Straight down mobile combat! It will definitely not be the opponent! I believe that within a year, the Xichuan Rebellion will definitely be put down!"

Zhao Qi pondered for a moment, and said: "You're right! It's just..." At this point, he suddenly stopped talking, looked at Jia She, hesitant to speak.

Jia She said: "As for the 20-strong army of Lie Dagger in the north, he is only probing and has no strength to attack. Your Majesty can agree to their request..."

Before Jia She could finish his sentence, Zhao Qi cried out, "No! I can't send you to Tartar!"

Jia She said: "In the future, I will definitely go to war with the Tatars, but there are few people who are familiar with the internal conditions of the Tatars! If I go there, I can take the opportunity to observe and wait for the opportunity. As long as the fierce daggers do not kill me, I will fight There is a way to return!"

Zhao Qi held Jia She's hand tightly, shook his head resolutely, and said, "Don't bring up this matter again, absolutely not! Also, I have already decreed that you will be named Taifu and promoted to be a political advisor. Deputy Prime Minister, help me eliminate the three remaining traitors in the court! You can't leave!"

Jia She saw that he had finally got rid of the official position of Shaofu, and he finally relaxed in his heart, and said with a smile, "That's great, I'm finally not a Shaofu!"

Zhao Qi was taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter? Why do you think Shaofu is not good? Forget it, you can do other things if you don't like it. It's just a false name anyway. I am newly enthroned. Not enough, I plan to let you go to the palace to give lectures on Buddhist scriptures. Generally, the emperor attends lectures once every ten days. Now, no matter how busy I am, I will spare half a day within three days. Arithmetic, finance, and military..."

Jia She tilted his head and looked at Zhao Qi: "Does Your Majesty still need ministers to teach? There are many scholars in the court, so just find anyone?"

Zhao Qi pursed his lips and did not speak, and after a while he said: "Anyway, Gu Pengfei's house is too far away from the imperial palace, so it is inconvenient to come and go, I have already issued an order to rebuild the mansion for you, the place has already been selected, it is at the west gate If there is anything, I can find you at any time!"
