King of Song

Chapter 679

"I've seen the Eldest Princess!"

Mrs. Zhu didn't dare to trust her, Zhao Fukang was of a high seniority, and the queen would be polite when she saw her, not to mention that she was just a noble concubine!

"Your imperial concubine is polite!" Zhao Fukang said, "We are a family, why bother to see outsiders?"

Mrs. Zhu was also clever, especially sweet-mouthed, and hurriedly said: "Yes, aunt... I wonder if I can call you that?"

"Of course!" Zhao Fukang smiled slightly, and said softly, "The imperial concubine frowned and looked worried just now, what's the matter? But is Xu Er uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Zhu hurriedly said: "No, Xu'er is fine, and Aunt Lao is thinking about it."

"Oh, are you concerned about the official's illness?" Zhao Fukang seemed to suddenly realize.

"Yeah!" Zhu Shi nodded, then bowed his head and said nothing, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Zhao Fukang hurriedly comforted: "Why are you crying? Didn't it mean that the official is only temporarily in a coma, and has the situation improved in the past few days?"

"The official..." Zhu stammered: "Don't you know, aunt? The imperial doctor said that if the official hasn't woken up in the past two days, there is a possibility..."

While speaking, Zhu Shi became even more sad, and burst into tears immediately.

"Ah? Well, how could this happen?" Zhao Fukang seemed surprised and sad when he heard it for the first time.

"I don't know, I don't know, if there is something wrong with the government, what should we orphans and widows do?" Zhu's heart was indeed wronged, and there were also many worries.These days I have been suppressed and have no chance to vent. Now that I see Zhao Fukang, I seem to have found someone to confide in, and I can't help showing it.

Zhao Fukang played the role of the confidant sister very well, and comforted softly, "Don't worry, the official family will get better, even...even if there is any accident, your Xu'er is the eldest son, the future Emperor of Song Dynasty, your blessing behind."

"But..." Mrs. Zhu didn't think so, but the crux of the problem is that his son must be able to ascend the throne.

Zhao Fukang said: "What's the matter? Is someone embarrassing you? Auntie can help you, but if you can't, please ask the Empress Dowager to make the decision for you!"

"What my aunt said is true, but now that King Yang is in charge of the country, the queen mother seems to mean..." Mrs. Zhu did not dare to speak too directly, her mother-in-law Gao Taotao's accumulated power was still very strong, and she was a little apprehensive when she thought about it.

"Supervising the country is not the same as being the crown prince!" Zhao Fukang pretended to be puzzled.

The Zhu family said pitifully: "The Empress Dowager had a dispute with the officials and wanted to establish King Yang as the heir and inherit the rule. Now it is the supervisor of the country, and it will be logical to ascend the throne in the future."

Zhao Fukang said softly: "Really? If this is the case, it will be difficult to handle. Your life is difficult, and Xu Er, let alone the loss of the crown prince, I am afraid that there will be life in danger in the future..."

"Ah? No way?" Zhu Shi was terrified immediately, her son was her lifeblood, how could she see him being hurt?

In a word, to the point!
Zhao Fukang looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "To say something disrespectful, think about the fate of the two princes Dezhao and Defang under the knee of Taizu."

This is their Zhao family's business, Zhu Shi naturally heard about it, and was immediately frightened.Brothers end up with younger brothers and later, the son of the late emperor will become an obstacle to the crown prince. Who doesn't want to pass the throne to his son?At that time, King Yang will surely murder his son in the same way as Emperor Taizong.

Thinking of this, Zhu Shi shuddered, feeling helpless.

"Auntie, save me, save my child!" Zhu subconsciously grabbed Zhao Fukang's sleeve. At this moment, she desperately needed a life-saving straw.

"What... what does the Queen Mother say?" Zhao Fukang asked in a low voice.

Zhu's face was full of worry and said: "The queen mother said that when the time comes, Wang Yang will make Zhao Xu the crown prince, but I always feel..."

"Yeah, the future is uncertain. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager may be able to protect Zhao Xu for a day. What if they are gone? Even the promises written in black and white will be overturned in different ways." "Zhao Fukang put himself in the tunnel and said: "In the past, the Queen Mother Zhaoxian (Du) had an alliance of golden chambers, and agreed that brothers would end up with brothers and later, the throne would be passed back to the lineage of Taizu. The result..."

"Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. The officials are in a coma. Now everything is up to the queen mother, and I can do it!" Zhu cried as she spoke. There are precedents of Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, plus Based on Zhao Fukang's remarks, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Zhao Fukang said with emotion: "Who will inherit the throne should be decided by the emperor..."

"The government intends to set up Xu'er, but he has been in a coma, and everything has to be decided by the Queen Mother." What Zhu Shi hopes most now is that her husband can wake up, and all future hopes are on her son.

Zhao Fukang sighed: "It's a little troublesome like this. Unfortunately, although the officials often mention Zhao Xu as the crown prince, they have never issued an imperial decree in the court... Even if it is written down, it is good. This is the most effective way." Evidence that no one can deny."

"Imperial decree?!" Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, the establishment of a crown prince is a major national event. Oral orders definitely don't count. If there is an imperial decree, it can't be denied in black and white." Zhao Fukang sighed: "It's a pity that there is no one. I can only hope that the officials will wake up as soon as possible and write the imperial decree by themselves. Son, Xu'er's crown prince position will be preserved."

Mrs. Zhu didn't speak, but fell into deep thought. Zhao Fukang saw it in his eyes, smiled and said nothing.

"However, even if there is an imperial decree, if the queen mother insists on going her own way, once the official family is gone, how can we orphans and widowed mothers..." Mrs. Zhu was worried.After all, Gao Taotao is extremely powerful, Zhao Hao is now the supervisor of the country, and the prime minister Han Qi is in charge of the political affairs hall, covering the sky inside and outside.

Zhao Fukang said: "If the government really writes down such a decree, the Empress Dowager, the noble relatives of the clan, and the ministers of the court will all support it."

"is it?"

"Well, don't be sad, go back and take good care of the official's house, I hope he wakes up soon and promulgates the imperial edict!"

"Thank you, Auntie!" After thanking Mrs. Zhu, she left immediately, hope was rekindled in her heart, and now she was going to do something big.
Zhao Fukang looked at the back of Zhu's leaving, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.This calf-protecting stupid woman can be used, perhaps to an important role.

It's just that she is so stupid. If Gao Taotao finds out, she will be in danger even if all previous efforts are wasted.

Everything depends on God's will!

Zhao Fukang looked up at the western sky, and said silently in his heart: Dongyang, this is the only thing Elder Sister can do for you, you have to work hard!

……

……

Gao Taotao didn't notice Zhu's change. Now she has a worse situation to face.

In the early morning, a major event happened on the Bian River.

Taking advantage of the early morning mist, a ship quietly headed towards Dongshuimen, intending to leave the city, but was discovered by soldiers patrolling the city on the eve of leaving the city, and stopped it.

It was originally just a routine inspection, but a major problem was soon discovered.

First, it was discovered that Su An, the school captain on duty at Dongshuimen, was accommodating and wanted to cover the ship leaving the city, but he made a mistake and was discovered.

Then it was discovered that there were several young women holding several children on the boat. The number and general situation were very consistent with the family members of the Qin Palace, and the morale of the soldiers patrolling the city was immediately boosted.After all, this is a task given by the court and must be completed.They have suffered a lot for this in the past few days, so they naturally hope that it will end sooner.

Furthermore, the imperial court gave a good reward.If you "rescue" the family members of Prince Qin's Mansion, you will be rewarded heavily.

Therefore, the soldiers immediately stepped forward to intercept and rescue people, but the ships were very uncooperative.A few people came out to block the officers and soldiers who were searching, and they clashed and started fighting.

Among them was a young woman in strong clothes, the school captain Su An, and several agile men.

The fight was fierce, and immediately attracted passers-by and people on board to watch.

Some people were surprised to find that the woman in the strong attire seemed to be the personal bodyguard of the side concubine of Prince Qin's mansion, and those men were also the guards of Prince Qin's mansion.

Not long ago, someone made trouble in Jiangnan, and they took the initiative to drive away the troublemaker.Among them, the female guard, with a sweet appearance and a heroic appearance, left the deepest impression on people.

A question arose, the guards of Prince Qin's mansion fought with officers and soldiers, what happened?

Didn’t it mean that the family members of King Qin were kidnapped by the remnants of Xixia? Then it should be the Xixia talents who fought with the officers and soldiers, how could it be...

Under the reminder of someone with a heart, everyone thought of the rumors in Bianjing City by coincidence.

Are the officers and soldiers not saving people, but chasing and killing them?

God, the Queen Mother and King Yang are hunting down the family of King Qin.

Especially the boats that were attacked, the only ones among them were women with children in their arms.The women are all good-looking and have a noble temperament, which is very consistent with the family of King Qin.

But there are no remnants of Xixia people?Everyone could see clearly that the authenticity of the rumors became stronger and stronger.

In the end, the well-dressed woman struggled with several male guards, but someone was injured and fell into the water, and another guard was killed by officers and soldiers on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of them took advantage of the chaos and fled!
The officers and soldiers who blocked them didn't know about it, and rushed to fight after the incident, thinking that it was the remnants of Xixia who resisted, they acted hastily and eager to do meritorious service.

The resistance was killed and retreated, some officers and soldiers went to pursue, and the other part went to rescue the "King Qin's family".

Everyone could see clearly that a group of women and children were invited by the officers and soldiers and brought into the carriage.The external rhetoric is to send it to the palace for protection!
Protection, then why did the guards of Prince Qin's Palace wield swords with officers and soldiers?

Very strange!

What happened at Dongshuimen is rapidly spreading to the whole city through the mouths of these people, and some people can deliberately contribute to the flames.

At the same time, Gao Taotao and Han Qi in the palace also received the news.

The family of the King of Qin has found it and is sending it to the palace.

Gao Taotao finally breathed a sigh of relief. After paying a huge price, he finally found him.

As long as there are hostages in hand, Zhao Zhao will have to throw a mouse trick!

But when the hostages were sent to the palace, Gao Taotao was dumbfounded. She didn't even know any of the so-called family members of Prince Qin's mansion!
Han Qi was also stunned for an instant, intense panic filled his heart, and he was clearly aware of a terrible consequence.

Hastily shouted: "Queen Mother, it's too bad, it's been tricked, something big is going to happen!"
