Ying Jieyan's words made Zhao Bing fall into deep thought. He knew very well that if the "edict" incident was not properly handled, there would be endless troubles. This time he could reject the edict or ignore it. "ΩΔBlogΔ    Quge But what about the next time? Empress Dowager Xie and the young emperor jointly issued an edict to depose himself and announced the world. Then his orthodox status of the royal family would be challenged, and the legacy of the country turned into a thief.

Another possibility is that in order to restrain himself, Kublai Khan reinstated the deposed emperor Zhao Xian and ruled the remnants of the Song Dynasty as a puppet. The Jurchens used this method to "intimidate" Zhao Gou, making him dare not act in the northern expedition, but instead settled in the south of the Yangtze River. The threat of the two emperors Hui and Qin died one after another was gradually eliminated. Now the Mongols are in full swing, and the possibility of threatening themselves in this way is extremely low, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not use this strategy when they turn over.

In order to eliminate future troubles, Zhao Bing considered the best way to take action first, deposed Empress Dowager Xie and his brother Zhao, and gave up their clan origins, and established themselves as the orthodox Song Dynasty and the only legacy of the royal family. This way, Kublai Khan could no longer use them to control the dynasty, and also expressed his determination to resist the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Song Dynasty to the world, and at the same time it was conducive to calling on the anti-Yuan forces across the country to unite in the dynasty to fight the enemy together.

Of course, this also has side effects. First, put yourself in a dangerous place. Kublai Khan could not let the forces that resisted him exist, so he would definitely eliminate them quickly. Then, if the deposed edict is abolished, the value of Empress Dowager Xie and Emperor Deyou will be greatly reduced. Can Kublai Khan still allow them to exist? However, Zhao Bing thought that things have two sides:

On the one hand, Kublai Khan might kill two useless people to avoid wasting money; on the other hand, in order to demonstrate his magnanimity, Kublai Khan also felt that they would no longer use them for anti-Yuan forces, but instead relaxed their supervision and continued to treat them well. This may not be a good thing for the deposed Empress Dowager Xie and the unauthorized royal family.

Although Zhao Bing is no longer a boy who has just arrived in the Song Dynasty and is ignorant of politics. After this period of open and secret struggles and bloody storms, he has also made up a few of them in this big jar and has quickly matured. He understands that doing politics is not only about holding strong soldiers, but also about everything that can be done freely, but only by killing those dissidents and dissidents, which will only make people distracted and betrayed everyone.

Therefore, the deposed titles of Empress Dowager Xie and Emperor Deyou are not a simple issue of edicts, but a matter of moving the whole body. This is a matter of saying it privately for its good words, but it is okay to say it on the table, and it is even more impossible to convince the public. The Chinese people have attached great importance to filial piety and family ethics since ancient times. Brotherly feelings are regarded as a relationship second only to father and son. This concept is repeatedly strengthened in the "Three Character Classic", such as saying: "If you are younger than elders, you should be aware of filial piety and brotherhood, and you will see and hear"; "Brothers and feet, blood and water" and so on.

However, in the development of history and the changes of dynasties, Zhao Bing knew that it was not all peaceful and peaceful transfers between brothers and brothers, but more often accompanied by father and son fighting each other and brothers turning against each other, and family tragedies were performed. However, he also knew that this cruel alternation was not entirely criticized by the world and criticized by historians, and there were still many praises and boasts. This is precisely because there is still a political ethics of whether "political correctness" exists. For example, Zhou Gong killed Guan and Cai, and killing his brother may be wrong, but it is a political model and praised by future generations.

"Three beloved ministers, I think the Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou are willing to serve the enemy. They should dismiss his title and take back the jade book!" Zhao Bing thought for a long time, took a sip of tea and said seriously.

"Your Majesty, if you do this, you may be criticized by the people of the world and end up as unfilial. Please give up this evil thought!" As soon as the little emperor said, Deng Guangjian, who had just spoken the most intensely, immediately stood up and said.

"Deng Qing often teaches me that state affairs are good, but family affairs are small. Now the Empress Dowager is ignoring the grace of the Song Dynasty and has repeatedly issued edicts to surrender to all places and destroy their own family and country. Now he has sent an envoy to give up the country and surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, which is already contrary to the great righteousness. Although I am against filial piety, I can only do this disobedience for the country and the people. If there are any complaints, I can only bear it!" Zhao Bing said solemnly, but tears were rolling in his eyes.

To be honest, Zhao Bing came later and had never met the two of them, let alone the relationship. But think about the responsibility of destroying the country and destroying the family. He was coerced to write a seal and proclamation to endure the name of rebellion, but he knew that he had to stab him again, which was enough to say, which made him very uneasy. However, both public and private, he could only do this to clear away the existing or possible obstacles ahead.

"This... Although Your Majesty is a great righteousness, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou are helpless. It should be a temporary solution. For this reason, I took back the jade book and left it out of the family. I think it is inappropriate." With your spear to attack your shield, the little emperor's words made Deng Guangjian so hard that he could not speak. He knew that what he said was true, but he was still sad about the hurdle in his heart and continued to defend himself.

"Zhongfu, I think your Majesty takes great justice first, and it is not wrong to dismiss his title and remove his belongings." Jiang Qi took over and said.

"I dare not agree with Zong Bao's words. If Your Majesty dealt with this, it would definitely be left in historical records. It is difficult to get rid of the name of unfilial piety of abandoning his mother and brother!" Deng Guangjian argued again.

"You two beloved ministers don't need to argue. If I can restore my Song Dynasty, what's the harm even if I get some stigma? And my merits and demerits at this time have been commented on by future generations, so why should I argue here?" Zhao Bing knew that the two had different experiences, so he naturally came to different conclusions. Jiang Qi went all out to the difficulties and went on one after another. There were countless children in his family killed and injured. How could he talk about filial piety for the country and abandoned his family? He did the right thing. However, Deng Guangjian did not have such experience. He was a typical Confucian scholar, who valued reputation and the views of others. Therefore, there would be no result even if he argued for three days and three nights.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable. When Duke Zhou killed Shu Guan and Shu Cai, the Zhou family was safe; Ji You poisoned Shuya and Lu Guoning. Emperor Taizong of Tang killed his brother and succeeded to the throne, and captured the foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. How many later generations have said this!" Ying Jieyan said at this time, and what he said was uncontroversial.

"Oh, this is the case in the world. For the sake of the world, I can only avenge the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's brother for the sake of the world. When the country is restored, I will re-enter the clan and restore the title!" Zhao Bing sighed sadly after hearing this. But his heart was filled with dark joy. This world is the power of the king. Wherever there is justice, it is just a fig leaf for the victor...

Zhao Bing knew that for every emperor ascended the throne and learned the way of a saint king, he would not bypass those kings who lost their country to learn the reasons for their failure. However, successful people like Qin, Han and Wu are also role models to learn from. Of course, he cannot avoid the common people. It is both a compulsory lesson and an object to be pondered. People say that the heights of standing are different, and the conclusions drawn are also different. He is now standing at the high point of looking down on all living beings, and he has his own interpretation of historical records.

In Zhao Bing's view, the relationship between brothers has been determined in ancient etiquette and law - the importance of elders and young people. Old age means superiority and inferiority is a natural stable order, and China's inheritance system established the system of eldest son inheritance and the principle of "establishing elders but not virtuous". Compared with "virtuous", the order of elders and young people is more important.

As for both sides of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin, who had great achievements, has actually become a prisoner of traditional ethics, so he tried to break out of political ethics. He was a virtuous (he made the most contribution), and Li Jiancheng's advantage lies in his elders. Although Li Shimin was virtuous, it was impossible for him to inherit the throne except for using bloody means to eliminate his elder brother. Therefore, killing his brother was his only choice, and the so-called justice was just an excuse.

Politics is always an immune place for law and morality. Li Shimin killed his brother and killed his brother, but was appointed as the crown prince. He inherited the throne without punishment, only reward, and a prize that was a sacred country. In the end, he rewarded the entire empire. Since killing his brother and killed his brother, Li Shimin has been deeply condemned by his conscience and questioned the legitimacy of his abdication by his ministers, so he has been constantly nightmarish, so that Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao can only sleep before they can sleep.

However, as time went by, the opponents were eliminated and the situation stabilized. Li Shimin, who was in power, gradually got rid of guilt, and the longer he was, his aura became stronger. Then he reinterpreted the Xuanwu Gate Incident, in the name of orthodox, and added points to the legitimacy of his rule. For this reason, he said to Fang Xuanling: "Duke Zhou killed his brothers Guan Shu and Cai Shu. What I did was the same, which was to safeguard the country and benefit all the people." At this time, he had already compared the killing, and Yuan Ji was compared to Duke Zhou killing his brothers Guan Shu and Cai Shu. It was an act of destroying relatives for the sake of Anguo and the people - this archway was established!

After such a sublimation, black money was laundered, and the "counterfeit moneymaker" naturally had a harmonious heart and a bright heart, and was not even afraid of "disclosing wealth" to the public. Li Shimin took the initiative to make this matter public because he was a smart person. He knew very well that the changes in the Xuanwu Gate could be hidden for a while, not for a lifetime. Instead of waiting for future generations to discuss and add to his crimes, it would be better for him to make a cloth in person to correct his reputation and block the words of future generations. So he said: "Why do you have to deliberately hide it when a matter of justice and righteousness? "He asked: "Immediately change the floating lyrics and write the matter directly!"

Of course, the so-called straight writing of Li Shimin cannot be considered to be "true" and can be "written randomly". In fact, it is only allowed to write directly according to the agenda he set. In fact, it was the official presided over the compilation of history books since then. From then on, history has become a slave to the court! He did this to cover the unjust thing of his brothers' wrestling with the injustice, so that people not only do not blame him, but should praise him like he would praise Zhou Gong. Look, this is the reason why the king cannot read the history of this dynasty casually. When the emperor saw something he was dissatisfied with, he would involuntarily use his power to tamper with it. Is there any real history?!

Since Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin set the tone for the Xuanwu Gate change, this forbidden area for speech in the early Tang Dynasty has been opened. Including the famous "Zhenguan Zhengyao", it records the righteous and unhonest sentence that Li Shimin gave Fang Xuanling to the point of being too righteous. Because Emperor Taizong of Tang was too famous and too famous, many people would rather believe his explanation. In the biography of Li Jiancheng, he wrote the false statement that "Daizong's achievements were growing more and more, and Emperor Gaozu personally allowed to be appointed as the crown prince." Some even said that if the "cruel" Jian became the emperor and the "crazy" Yuanji as the supplement, the Tang Dynasty would definitely destroy the country.

Of course, some people disagree with Li Shimin's self-defense. Fan Zuyu said that Li Shimin killed Jiancheng and Yuan Ji, which was not the same as Zhou Gong killing Guan Shu, Cai Shu, Guan, and Cai colluded with the remnants of the Shang Dynasty and slandering Zhou Gong. It was not Zhou Gong who wanted to kill them, but the people in the world wanted to kill them. But Jiancheng, what was Yuan Ji's crime? In fact, Li Shimin himself wanted to kill them, not the people in the world wanted to kill them. He did it for his own selfishness, so the nature of the two was completely different.

As for whom I believe, it means that people have different opinions. To put it bluntly, it is actually a matter of whether what they say is beneficial to them. Taking things out of context and distorting their meaning... are all common techniques. Didn’t Confucius become the stinky old man, pushed off the altar, digging graves, and becoming a rat that everyone shouts to beat? And who dares to protect him and will not be praised again after decades or hundreds of years...

"Your Majesty, you should be dismissed by just a letter of edict. You need to be more cautious, otherwise it may be difficult to convince the public." Deng Guangjian thought for a while, and felt that what the little emperor and Ying Jieyan said was reasonable, but he also felt that something was missing.

"Zhongfu, can you tell me the edict issued by the Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou after the city fell?" Jiang Fu asked back.

"I still remember that people at that time said that there was no jade seal stamp on the edict, only the empress dowager's pen and empress dowager, so they questioned that they were false edicts and could not be used as a trust for receiving the order." Deng Guangjian said.

"Well, I have indeed read this edict, as Zhongfu said. According to the rules, the letter of surrender should be issued by the same letter, and there is no one above it. It is rumored that Boyan had asked the Wen Xiang, who was detained in his camp, to sign the same letter of surrender, but was rejected by Wen Xiang. Therefore, some soldiers and civilians believed that this was a false edict and did not recognize it." Jiang Qi said.

"But this time it's different!" Ying Jieyan interrupted.

"Oh, there is something unknown?" Deng Guangjian said in surprise, and Zhao Bing and Jiang Xu also looked at Ying Jieyan in surprise, not knowing what was happening.

"Please give me a copy of the edict!" Ying Jieyan bowed to the emperor.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing asked Liu Ling to get the edict and unfold it on the table, and the other three people also came over.

"Your Majesty and everyone!" Ying Jieyan put on reading glasses and browsed, and pointed at the end of the article with his fingers.

"The seal of Duke Yingguo and the seal of Madam Shouchun County. In July of the 16th year of Zhiyuan, they used a fake name!" Deng Guangjian said softly and looked at Ying Jieyan in surprise.

"Not bad!" Ying Jieyan nodded.
