Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 90 Palace Banquet, Situation

On the New Year's Eve reunion night, every family is happy.

This is people's best wishes for New Year's Eve. No matter how far a family is apart during the year, as long as it is New Year's Eve, the family must reunite and have a New Year's Eve dinner, telling about their respective situations and lives during the year.

However, this is a bit of a luxury for the royal family.

After the annual New Year's Eve Banquet, Emperor Song left the venue tiredly, and asked Prince Zhao Ming to preside over the rest of the banquet, and then took Cao Shuang to De Rong Hall.

Sitting alone in the store, memories keep coming like a dream.

That woman, the woman who gave birth to her son, always comforted herself softly when she was the most exhausted, stood behind her and gently massaged her head to brush away her exhaustion all day was gone.

Some people say that you only know how to cherish when you lose it, which is right.

When she was here, whenever she was disturbed by various things in the previous court, she would hide with him, and after her comforting, she would be able to regain her fighting spirit the next day.

But now, whenever the night is quiet, he always thinks of that woman, that gentle woman who never seems to get angry, that harbor where he can take a little rest.

But he left, and left him forever on the day Lao Liu was born, which also made him more or less disgusted with Lao Liu?
Sometimes I can't help but wonder, if there is no birth of the sixth child, will that gentle woman still be by my side, and there will be a place to hide when I encounter difficulties, instead of just carrying it along go down.

So after the birth of the sixth child, he left the sixth child to be raised by the queen and never paid much attention to this son again. He was afraid that if he paid more attention to her, he would miss her more.

The turmoil in the court made him exhausted, and he didn't hear any good news throughout the year. Either there was a disaster here, there was a severe drought somewhere, or the Huns came to hold the customs again.

After a whole year, Zhao Duan felt that he was more than ten years older.

But there is no peace in the court.

The old, the old, and the fifth are fighting each other, and each has its own support of a group of courtiers who attack each other all day long.

The prince sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, in an invincible position, watching the two younger brothers jumping wildly, and from time to time he gave them a big match to let them know who was the eldest brother.

I want to support the crown prince, first of all, according to the order of seniority, it is the crown prince who should inherit his position.

Secondly, the crown prince is also the most qualified heir, while the fourth and fifth elders have various flaws, the most important thing is that their relatives are too powerful. Once these two come to power, Song Dynasty will inevitably welcome relatives In the era of dictatorship, this is very unfavorable to Song Dynasty.

But he can't blatantly support the prince, he can only try to increase the weight of the prince secretly, secretly suppress these two boys, and balance their strength.

It's not that he doesn't want to deal with their parents quickly, but that his current strength doesn't allow it.

Behind the fourth child is the military. The Ding family is a famous handed down general of the Song Dynasty. The children of the family are all over the army of the Song Dynasty, and can directly or indirectly affect nearly half of the army of the Song Dynasty.

This is due to the continuous suppression by Emperor Song in these years to regain most of the military power. Otherwise, the power of the Ding family would be even more terrifying. During the period of the first emperor, the Ding family could directly or indirectly control nearly [-]% of the army of the Song Dynasty.

When the first emperor passed away, the Ding family had mischievous ideas. It was only under Song Emperor's set of tricks to show the enemy's weakness that the Song family took back most of the military power in one fell swoop, which made the Ding family calm down. , did not dare to act rashly.

But he also had to marry Ding's daughter as his concubine in order to stabilize the Ding family.

After having the fourth child, the Ding family turned to support the fourth child, hoping that the fourth child would inherit the throne so that they could have another chance.

But the fifth child is more complicated, behind the fifth child is not a single force, but two forces!

On the one hand, Zhang He, the prime minister of his grandfather, supported him behind the scenes, and received the support of most of the civil servants.

On the other hand, a force that has been hidden in the Song Dynasty for a thousand years is also secretly supporting the fifth child and providing help to the fifth child, so that he will not lose in the confrontation with the fourth child with the help of the Ding family. .

Thinking of that power, strands of cold light flashed across Zhao Duan's eyes!

If it wasn't for them, he would have already dealt with the Ding family.

When I had the opportunity to deal with the Ding family, they stood up and forced me to give up targeting the Ding family.

Now the Ding family, who wanted to support them, ignored them, but instead supported his other son to compete with the Ding family.

What do they think of my Great Song royal family?
A reward for winning a duel?
One day!One day!
Zhao Duan's fists creaked!
One day I will wipe you all out!

What Ding family!What a millennium family!
I will turn you all into ashes!

He breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling the depression in his heart.

Zhao Duan got up and looked at the palace in front of him, which was still cleaned even though no one lived in it for 20 years.

Zhao Duan sighed, and ordered: "This year, give Lao Liu double the money for supplies."

Cao Shuang frowned immediately when he heard this, and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there is no reason to suddenly double the amount of money allocated to King Yun. The Chaozhong household department may disagree."

Zhao Duan snorted unhappily, and then said: "There is no need to go through the household department, the extra money will come from my internal funds! It's not up to them to pay for my son's subsidy!"

Seeing that His Majesty said this and gave a solution, Cao Shuang respectfully agreed.

Immediately, the two returned to Funing Palace.

At the palace banquet, Zhao Ming, who was presiding over the New Year's Eve banquet for hundreds of officials, soon learned that his father wanted to double the amount of money allocated to the sixth child at his own expense.

After pondering for a moment, he found a place and whispered to his personal attendant to take 1 taels from his treasury silver and fill it in.

The little eunuch took the order and left. In the Funing Palace, the Song Emperor who was about to rest suddenly heard that the crown prince had added 1 taels of silver to the sixth son, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

As expected of his most satisfied son, brothers and sisters, this is the scene he wants to see the most.

The night was getting darker.

The palace night banquet also stopped at the beginning of Haishi. Officials from various ministries went back to their homes to find their mothers, and the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace also went back to their own palaces to rest.

The fourth child and the fifth child snorted coldly at each other and left with a group of people.

The palace returned to silence again, only the bright lights were still burning, illuminating the entire palace brightly.

This is a custom in the palace. Every year on New Year's Eve, all the candles in the palace cannot be extinguished until the Jade Rabbit disappears the next morning.

The cool wind blew across the imperial city, causing the candles to flicker on and off, just like today's Great Song Dynasty who doesn't know what to do next...

　Transition two first, and some still have to explain, otherwise many book lovers will be a little confused.
