The eldest daughter-in-law and mother-in-law said: "My father-in-law is gone, my mother-in-law needs to take care of her health, and we all rely on my mother-in-law to preside over things." ”

Zhao's mother had no strength at all, her whole body leaned on the arms of her eldest daughter-in-law and her second daughter-in-law, she hid her face and cried over and over again, and gradually her eyes were already swollen from crying, but she didn't mean to stop.

Li Qingzhao also cried for a long time, and thought to himself: "Why did my father-in-law go suddenly?" When will he return? ”

Thinking that Xianggong didn't know when he would come back, Li Qingzhao was sad, there was no hope, and he was sad in his heart, and it was difficult to help himself.

Mother Li held Qingzhao's shoulders and whispered to Qingzhao: "Qingzhao, don't cry." ”

Reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, Mother Li herself couldn't stop crying. To be honest, I still had a little hatred for Lord Zhao before, and the lord and Lord Zhao have always confronted each other and refused to give in to each other. I used to secretly hate Lord Zhao in my heart, hating why he had teased the master several times. But since the old man left, Lord Zhao took care of his mother and daughter many times, which moved him. Now that Lord Zhao has suddenly gone, he is really surprised and sad. Therefore, while wiping away her tears for Qingzhao, Mother Li also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and kept thinking in her heart: "Lord Zhao actually went, and the old body is really uncomfortable." ”

Li Qingzhao didn't care about his mother's words, but he cried even more, staring at his father-in-law's pale face, he still felt a little disbelieving, and asked himself in his heart: "Has my father-in-law gone?" When will Xianggong return? ”

Mother Zhao cried for a long time, and suddenly stopped moving. The eldest daughter-in-law took a look. Stretched out his hand and probed at the tip of his mother-in-law's nose, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Mother-in-law fainted." ”

The crowd was even more scrambling, not knowing what to do. The eldest daughter-in-law is good at herself. made an assertion, called his subordinates, helped his mother-in-law out of the door, and arranged it again to prepare for the future.

Mother Zhao woke up and remembered the old man again, so she cried for a long time. Fainting again. After doing this three times, Zhao's mother got out of bed.

The mourning hall in front of the hall was set up, and the crying in the courtyard shook the sky.

Everyone changed into mourning clothes. The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law and Qingzhao helped the mother-in-law to the front of the mourning hall, and everyone knelt down and cried again.

Suddenly, I heard someone outside the door: "The emperor has arrived." ”

Mother Zhao trembled in her heart, and she couldn't care about crying. I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and wiped them again. But he was still crying. It took three times to wipe it clean. But Zhao's mother was crying and swollen at the corners of her eyes, looking haggard.

The eldest daughter-in-law and mother-in-law said, "Why is the emperor here?" ”

Mother Zhao said: "Go out and greet you." ”

Li Qingzhao and their daughter-in-law helped their mother-in-law up, and slowly helped them out, just in time to see the emperor who came.

Zhao's mother and three daughters-in-law hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor is coming to the cold house, and the old man is out of welcome. ”

Song Huizong saw the appearance in front of the hall, it was desolate, and then he really believed that Lord Zhao had gone. took a few steps forward, bowed down and reached out to help Zhao's mother up. Said to Zhao's mother: "Auntie, please get up quickly." Then he looked at the three of them, and said to her, "Get up all of you." ”

Mother Zhao said: "The emperor came today, we don't know, so we are really guilty of neglect." ”

Song Huizong said: "There is no need to say this cliché. I'm here myself, and I just want to see how you're doing here. ”

Suddenly, his face sank, and Song Huizong also whimpered, and said, "I only heard that Lord Zhao was angry and injured, and I don't know why Lord Zhao also went?" ”

Looking at Zhao's mother again, Song Huizong said to Zhao's mother: "When did Lord Zhao go?" ”

Mother Zhao said: "Just today, the master was extremely angry for a while, and his body was weak, so he couldn't hold on, so he passed away." ”

Song Huizong stretched out his hand to raise his leg, patted his leg and said to himself: "Oh, I shouldn't be like this, I shouldn't have taken away Lord Zhao's official position." Why did Lord Zhao go now? Lord Li and Lord Zhao are both pillars of the country, but they passed away one after another not long after? ”

Mother Zhao shook her head and said: "It's not the emperor's fault, the old man is old, and he is weak, so he is extremely angry for a while, so he loses his breath." ”

Song Huizong's face changed again, and he asked softly, "Did Lord Zhao say anything before he died?" ”

Mother Zhao didn't dare to hide it, and briefly told the emperor what the lord said, but when she said it, she didn't say anything about the grievances between the lord and Lord Cai, and only said the greetings between the lord and his family.

After hearing this, Song Huizong sighed and said: "Alas, people are about to die, and their words are also good. I know that there has always been a discord between Zhao Fever and Master Li. Hmph, now that both of them have gone, before they go, they are all repenting of their mistakes. ”

Mother Zhao said: "The old man has just passed away, we didn't expect the emperor to deign to come and visit, it's really a great joy......"

Song Huizong waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I can't listen to any flattery." There is a funeral here, what else do you have to be happy about? ”

Mother Zhao shrank her head, sank down, and said, "Yes, the emperor has taught him a lesson." ”

Song Huizong looked at the front of the hall, tears rolled down his eyes, and then he said: "I still want to make a big difference, relying on the two elders of Lord Zhao and Lord Li, why did the two of them leave me like this?" I just deposed Lord Zhao from the position of prime minister, and didn't say that I would punish him, let alone say anything to belittle him, why did he not look at it like this? ”

Mother Zhao thought to herself: "We want to say that the master passed away because of a grudge with Lord Cai. But Lord Cai is now an important minister by the emperor's side, how dare we offend him? ”

Song Huizong waved his hand and said, "A good official, why did he pass away?" ”

Li Qingzhao suddenly opened his eyes wide, stared at the emperor, and felt that he was rude, so he hurriedly lowered his head, exhaled, and said, "Does the emperor really think that his father-in-law is a good official?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all scared in their hearts, how could Qingzhao still dare to question the emperor?

Song Huizong didn't expect anyone to ask him, but he was a little surprised, and then said: "Yes, in my eyes, they are all good officials. The important ministers left by the first emperor were all good officials. Alas, but I won't use it, so that's it. ”

Li Qingzhao said again: "Since this is the case, then Qingzhao asks the emperor, right...... Investigate the good life of the prime minister. ”

Song Huizong said: "What? Is it Mingcheng them? ”

Li Qingzhao heard the emperor call him like this, and he was very kind. I couldn't help but feel a lot better in my heart, and then I said: "Yes, Qingzhao has the courage to ask the emperor to investigate the matter of the prince again." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "Yes." I'm investigating. To tell the truth, I wanted to say it a long time ago, Mingcheng They are all scholars who have learned too much, and they know the way of kings and ministers, how can they be greedy for money? I don't understand. But all the ministers said so, and I couldn't help it. Alas, it is said that I am the emperor. In fact, I am still limited by many people. ”

Mother Zhao thought that Qingzhao was neither big nor small, and it would make the emperor angry, but she didn't expect to say anything about the emperor's heart. I didn't expect the emperor to confide in him like this. Since the emperor has said so, what are you waiting for? is worried that his three sons will not be able to come back, so it is time to ask the emperor.

Mother Zhao hurriedly knelt down again. kowtow to the emperor and said: "The old body dares to beg the emperor." I must return my son's innocence. Although my three sons have no ambitions, they all understand the principle of the king as a minister, and they dare not do anything wrong. The emperor is clear. ”

Song Huizong hurriedly reached out to help Zhao's mother up, and then said, "Aunt, get up quickly, I know." I will definitely find out about this and clear your three sons. I believe in Mingcheng, Mingcheng is full of poetry and books, and I won't do that. ”

Mother Zhao heard this. I was overjoyed in my heart, and secretly thought: "Lord Cai won't help us." We don't need his help, and the emperor will naturally make decisions for us. ”

Song Huizong said: "I look at it today, it's really heartbreaking. The aunt sent Lord Zhao all the way. ”

Mother Zhao said: "The emperor can come to see him off, presumably the lord must be very happy." ”

Song Huizong lowered his head and sighed again: "Lord Zhao is gone, who should I ask for reason?" Tang Taizong's loss of Wei Zheng was like losing a mirror. Now that I have lost Lord Zhao, I have lost half of the bronze mirror. ”

Mother Zhao didn't know that the lord's position in the emperor's heart was so important, she gently raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and saw the emperor's face full of sadness, presumably these words came from the emperor's heart, so thinking about it, the emperor really took a fancy to the master.

Mother Zhao was slightly relieved in her heart.

Song Huizong raised his head again and said, "Why is it in the courtyard that your family is there, where are all the old friends of Lord Zhao before?" ”

Mother Zhao didn't guard against the emperor for this, she was suddenly dumbfounded, thought about it, and then said: "That, the old man's relatives didn't come before, and we don't know." ”

Song Huizong was immediately surprised: "Lord Zhao has relatives and friends all over the place, how can there be no one to come?" I really don't believe it. ”

Mother Zhao lowered her head, and secretly thought in her heart: "The master was dismissed by the emperor, where will anyone come now?" Lord Cai's majesty is irresistible, and people can't come even if they want to. ”

Song Huizong turned to the eunuch and said: "Spread my message, order all the radical newcomers to come, Lord Zhao is gone, before leaving, how can you not see it?" ”

The eunuch said yes and left.

Song Huizong clenched his fists angrily again, and couldn't help whispering to himself: "Who are they, why don't they come as soon as Lord Zhao leaves his official position?" ”

Mother Zhao saw the emperor's angry appearance, and she really admired him in her heart, but she secretly thought in her heart: "The emperor is young and vigorous, and he should complain." But the world cannot be governed by willpower alone. ”

Song Huizong said again: "I want to see how they will confront me after they all come over." ”

Mother Zhao was surprised in her heart: "Is the emperor going to be angry?" But what's the use of the emperor being angry? The old man went west and couldn't come back. The emperor is like this, in vain. ”

Immediately rolled her eyes, Zhao's mother and the emperor said: "The emperor can come today, we are all deeply comforted. But we didn't dare to delay the emperor's state affairs. If the emperor makes a mistake because of the master, then we can't afford to be guilty. ”

Speaking like this, it is a polite word to let the emperor go.

Song Huizong didn't think much about it, and when he heard his aunt's words, he felt that it made sense, so he thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes, my aunt is reasonable." But I really want to hear how those people will answer me when they come. ”

Mother Zhao said: "In this case, after we all see all the adults, we will report to the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Song Huizong nodded and said, "Well, this makes sense. I'm still young, not as good as my aunt. ”

Mother Zhao shook her head and said: "The old body doesn't dare, the emperor is a dragon in the world, naturally majestic, and the old body is just to put forward an opinion with the emperor." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "Hmm." Now that the situation has come to this, there is nothing more I can say. ”

Raising his eyes to look at the mourning hall, Song Huizong shed tears again, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, thinking that he had dismissed Lord Zhao from office, this thing was really inappropriate, and he really regretted it, but he thought: "I am the king of a country, I can't have a love for children, let alone cry." ”

So he hid his face and wiped away his tears, and Song Huizong said again: "Okay, I'll leave first." ”

Li Qing looked at the emperor's back, and suddenly lowered his head, he was scared, he didn't dare to look more, but he was still worried, what the emperor just said, does he still remember? Will Xiang Gong be put back?

Song Huizong just wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped, looked back at Qingzhao, and asked her, "Miss Li, do you believe that Mingcheng is innocent?" ”

Li Qingzhao hurriedly looked up at the emperor, lowered his head again, and said, "Yes, Qingzhao believes." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "Well, I also believe that I believe that Mingcheng will not be greedy for money and food." ”

Li Qingzhao just thought that the emperor would forget about this matter, but he didn't expect the emperor to suddenly turn his head and ask himself, and immediately secretly rejoiced in his heart: "The emperor must believe in the innocence of Xianggong, so it's really good." ”

Song Huizong said: "Lord Zhao has gone, I really regret it." But I can't get anything back. Lord Zhao has gone, how can he do it without his son by his side? I'll go back, put them back first, and let them send them to Lord Zhao again. ”

Mother Zhao heard this, but she didn't believe her ears, the emperor would say such a thing, she was still worried about her son's situation, and she didn't know how to rescue her son, but now that she heard the words, she must have intended to release her sons back.

Song Huizong said: "You are here first, I will go back, and quickly release Mingcheng and them." We can't wait. ”

As he spoke, Song Huizong hurriedly turned around and said to the soldiers: "Drive back to the palace." Fast! ”

The soldiers hurriedly said, "Yes." But I saw that the emperor had gone far away.

Mother Zhao and her daughters-in-law all knelt down and kowtowed again: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

After waiting for a while, Zhao's mother dared to raise her head, and then looked ahead, there was no longer the emperor's figure, Zhao's mother was relieved, and turned back to her daughters-in-law and smiled: "The sons are saved now." ”

The daughters-in-law all smiled and said to their mothers-in-law, "Yes." ”

Mother Zhao was in tears, but she laughed, was helped up by her daughters-in-law, turned to look at the mourning hall, and said to herself: "Master, have you seen it?" Did you hear that? The emperor is very kind to you. The emperor is kind to our Zhao family! ”

As she spoke, Zhao's mother fell to her knees crying again, crying silently. The daughters-in-law were busy supporting their mother-in-law, but they didn't help her up. (To be continued.) )
