Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 311 The Shadow of the Moon Palace Opens and Hears the Leak of the Night 7
He does not have a strong desire for power, but it does not mean that there is no huge gap. Thinking of the fate of the losers in the past dynasties, he is not reconciled but dare not break in. Not to mention He Guan would not be willing, Wang Xiu's cold-blooded reputation alone Just let him stop!

"Your Majesty." Wang Xiu felt that the heavens were unfair to this talented vassal king, and he couldn't bear it a little. He said calmly, "Your Majesty has outstanding literary talents, why do you want to worry about the troubles of the world, and be a rich and noble person at ease in the world? How nice! You don’t need to undress in the middle of the night, and get up at the fifth watch.”

He Guan and the others looked at Wang Xiu in amazement, and all of them sighed softly. They more or less sympathized with the vassal king.

Feeling disheartened for a while, Zhao Kai's eyes lost color, and he no longer had an unrestrained posture, and said solemnly: "It's a good thing to do it!" After speaking, he ignored the group of eunuchs, turned around and staggered away.

This group of eunuchs, big and small, were dumbfounded. What should they do when their master left, they all stared at each other, at a loss.

Wang Xiu stared at Zhao Kai's lonely back and left, shook his head helplessly, once again strengthened his belief, regained absolute reason, glanced at the group of eunuchs contemptuously, and said coldly: "Taiwei, how do you deal with these eunuchs?" Temple?"

He Guan didn't even look at it, and said in a deep voice: "Send it to the inner prison, and ask the officials to deal with it tomorrow."

"Take them all." Wang Qiu's face was ferocious, as if a hungry wolf had seen its prey, this was a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

After taking down the big and small eunuchs, He Guancai said with his beard: "Tell the guards of the three yamen guards in each pass to give me [-] points of energy tonight, and don't let up in any way."

Wang Xiu didn't interrupt, it was He Guan's job to arrange the defense, now that the crisis was resolved, he had more important things to do, and there was no point left.

In the Funing Hall, more than a dozen charcoal fire pots baked the interior of the hall into the warmth of the spring, but the candlelight was half-bright and half-dark, making it look extraordinarily bleak.

Geng Nanzhong looked at Zhao Huan who was lying on his back on the imperial couch and was still asleep. His face, which usually had little blood, was even paler now. His eyebrows were faint, and only the eyebrows could be seen clearly, and his nose bridge was not high.The two-and-a-half-inch long beard surrounds the slightly distorted mouth due to excessive panic, the narrow and long cheeks, and the thin chin.

Looking carefully, not only can't find the majesty of an emperor, but also can't see the healthy temperament that an ordinary 25-year-old youth should have.

Could this be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whom I have taught for ten years?He shook his head involuntarily.Thinking about being Zhao Huan's teacher in the second year of his career in politics, if Zhang Qiyuan hadn't appeared, he would be Zhao Huan's absolute number one confidant, but in terms of closeness, even Zhang Qiyuan couldn't catch up with him.Looking at Zhao Huan's appearance, he knew that this sickness was caused by long-term depression and bad mood.

He slowly recalled the past, Zhao Huan's biological mother, Queen Wang, was the daughter of Wang Zao, governor of Dezhou.That woman was really a hard-fated woman, who was a romantic emperor, and died in September of the second year of Daguan. Zhao Huan had just turned nine years old, and the trauma can be imagined. The life of the royal family also made him appreciate human kindness early. The coldness of life and the hardships of the world.

In the first month of the second year of Daguan, Zhao Huan went out to study abroad, and he was the chair professor. He clearly remembered that Zhao Huan was a Chinese investor. It often took several days to recite a scripture, but he was studious, courteous and respectful. With the impression of being smart, benevolent and filial, Zhao Huan is different from the ordinary royal prince Ye who is free and unrestrained. Zhao Huan is taciturn and behaves calmly, which makes it difficult for people to see his inner thoughts.

It is true that he has the intention of gaining wealth and honor, but every time he sees such a scene, he is deeply moved, and feels a little pitiful for this lonely prince.

Zhang Qiyuan was heartbroken, he was different from Geng Nanzhong.If Geng Nanzhong still has feelings for Zhao Huan, he is a pure superior. If Zhao Huan does not wake up and accept the worship of the officials, he will not be able to fully confirm his succession, and there may be unknowing changes. He must not allow it to happen .

"Fish can't get out of the abyss, and the dragon loses power like an earthworm. It seems that the officials are trying to fathom this old saying!" Geng Nanzhong seemed to be talking to himself.Thinking that Zhao Huan will rule the world tomorrow, he will be the emperor's mentor, and the golden road of the prime ministers of the two governments will be in front of him, so he can't help being excited.

Suddenly, he felt that everything he had done was so worthwhile, and the wait tonight was so long!

"University, the officials don't wake up and the officials don't leave, what should I do?" Zhang Qiyuan listened to Geng Nanzhong talking to himself, and couldn't help reminding him, don't patronize the acid, it's time to get down to business.

Geng Nanzhong turned his head to look at Zhang Qiyuan, and said indifferently: "Zichu, the officials are too tired, just wait a little longer!"

Zhang Qiyuan gritted his teeth, and said resolutely: "The night is too long, the university must not have the kindness of a woman, I will come."

Geng Nanzhong's eyes were complicated, Zhang Qiyuan and him were indeed competing for favor, but at the moment their interests were the same, and even their fate was tied together. Zhang Qiyuan's correctness could not be denied, and he began to waver.

At this moment, Wu Min stepped into the hall lightly, seeing that Zhao Huan was still sleepy, and softly said to Geng Nanzhong, "How is it?"

Geng Nanzhong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we have to wait for a while."

"What can I do?"

"Let the officials go to the Dutang to enjoy the fire first, and wait for the officials to wake up."

Wu Min hesitated again and again, but still nodded and said: "That's the only way to do it!" After speaking, he was also very quick, and immediately went out to handle errands.

At this time, Zhao Huan was in a deep sleep. He dreamed of his mother, Queen Wang, who had a dignified and kind face and melancholy and desperate eyes in his childhood memories.

"Mother, mother." He was only nine years old, lying beside his dying mother.

"Brother, my child, my child. Remember, if your mother is gone, you must honor your father well, be patient, respect your concubines and officials, and be careful in the palace. Your mother is the only hope left." Yes, you must..."

When this blurry image was floating in front of my eyes, another woman's voice came: "Officials, don't be secretly happy. I haven't seen any favors for more than ten years. Now, His Royal Highness is shepherding Kaifeng Mansion and giving Fang a belt. I feel really uneasy in my heart. something happened."

The person in front of him was replaced by Zhu Lian. When he was most helpless and at a loss, it was Zhu Lian who gave him the courage to face the situation and gave him a good way to solve the problem.

"My lady is worrying too much."

"Officials, don't you find it strange that the attitude of the officials has changed so much just when the Jin people are driving straight in?"

"What can I do?"

"If there is an imperial edict, the officials will obey the edict. It is a great opportunity to speculate that the official family wants to sit on the official side."

"How did the lady think of this?"

In memory of Zhu Lian's calm smile, there was no answer.

"Miss."

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the opportunity cannot be missed, it won't come again. The officials are still hesitating?"

Zhao Huan felt irritated for a while, and the soft call of "Guanjia, Guanjia" faintly sounded in his ears. The voice was so familiar, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and vaguely saw a familiar face. Anxious faces.

"The official is awake."

"It turned out to be Zhang Qing's family." Zhao Huan finally saw clearly that it was Zhang Qiyuan in a daze. He was already very weak, and it was very difficult for him to speak.

"Your Majesty just wakes up!" Geng Nanzhong hastily leaned down.

"I'm sorry for your trouble, my dear family."

"The official fainted. The imperial doctor said that it was just too excited, and there was no other serious problem. The minister and Wu Xianggong were not at ease, so they waited by their side." Seeing Zhao Huan waking up, Geng Nanzhong was quite excited, and his words were a bit long-winded.

Zhang Qiyuan didn't open his mouth until Zhao Huan woke up and saw that No.1 was him, that was enough, and now talking too much, that is to take credit.

"Your Majesty sent people to greet you a few times, and the minister replied on his behalf. I hope His Majesty will forgive you." Geng Nanzhong's tone showed no sign of repentance.

"The Qing family is very decent, there is no need to blame yourself." Zhao Huan forced a smile, and said weakly: "The Qing family quickly helped Gu get up and leave Funing Palace."

Seeing Zhao Huan's stubbornness, Geng Nanzhong felt a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Official family." Zhao Huan waved his hands weakly, and said weakly: "Don't call Qing's family official, I can't bear it alone."

But Zhang Qiyuan said calmly: "Officials, the general situation outside has been determined, and Mr. Bai has limited the edict to pass on the throne."

Just as he was talking, Wu Min rushed in, followed closely by Wang Xiu.

It turned out that when Wang Xiu came back from the gate of Baohe Hall, he went directly to the Privy Council, and then took the Guantang and rushed to Funing Hall. He happened to meet Wu Min and came in together.As the capital, his most important duty is to provide Zhao officials with the latest military information. Now that Zhao Huan has succeeded to the throne, he is of course brave enough to come here.

Wu Min was overjoyed to see Zhao Huan woke up. He exchanged glances with Geng Nanzhong, and said cautiously: "It's good that your Majesty wakes up. I'll let all the ministers come to see you."

"Wait a minute, my lord." Zhao Huan struggled to sit up, he glanced at Wang Xiu, his eyes were a bit strange, and he said: "I am sorry for your trouble, Mr. Wu, I am here to thank you in advance, I will never dare to take the throne, I also hope that my lord will forward it to the official family to clarify my will."

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Wu Min was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Now that the Jurchens have entered the bandits, the Taishang has suffered a stroke, and the world is handed over to His Majesty. How can it be postponed? Besides, the imperial edict has already been announced to the people. Minister, there is no reason to turn around."

Zhao Huan still shook his head and said nothing, as if he was not determined.

Wu Min gave Geng Nanzhong a wink, Geng Nanzhong understood, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Empress has retired from the palace and abdicated. I hope that Your Majesty will put the world first and make a quick decision so that the hearts of the people in the world will be at ease."

"When will you not be with me!" Zhao Huan faltered nonchalantly.

What kind of people are Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong?The Jurchens invaded in a large scale, all the way to seize the pass, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo.Zhao Ji's Zen position at this time, his intentions are indeed not good, both Wu Min and the ministers of the two government and three provinces are well aware of it, and they don't know how to persuade them.

Wang Xiu looked at the pale Zhao Huan carefully, and she was calculating quickly in her heart, it was time to speak.
