Chapter 192: The bigger the picture
Cining Temple.
Yang Hui sat in Zhao Hao's side hall, his face expressionless.
Zhao Hao was lying on the bed at this time, his expression was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he coughed from time to time.
Changshi looked at it, turned to Yang Hui, and said: "Yang Xianggong, you have also seen that the king really can't go to Dali Temple, and this case is better to be tried by the people of Dali Temple." ”
Where is Yang Hui willing to go, he finally got Zhao Xu's handwriting, which is equivalent to holding the holy decree in his hand, and he can completely influence Wang Anli's matter, how can he tolerate Zhao Hao's abscuration.
His expression was solemn, and he said with some bitterness: "His Royal Highness King Yan, Wang Anli's case is very important, and it is not trivial to implicate my Great Song Dynasty national fortune, so you must be cautious...... Putting these aside, the abolition of the 'Xining Law' is the national policy of the Empress Dowager, people all over the world look up, and hundreds of officials are looking forward to it, do you just sit back and watch Zhang Dian and others come back? ”
Zhao Hao was lying on the bed, covering his handkerchief with his mouth, listening to a violent cough, unable to say a word.
But his eyes were calm and full of mockery.
'The eldest nephew of the Funing Hall is qualified to use me as a pawn, and you people are also qualified to use me as a gunman?' ’
Changshi saw that Zhao Hao was coughing, looked at Yang Hui and smiled bitterly: "Yang Xianggong, you will spare my king, so if you still go to try the case, aren't you afraid of something else?" ”
Yang Hui didn't care about Zhao Hao's illness, pinched Zhao Xu's handwriting, and said directly: "Then ask His Royal Highness King Yan to write a handwritten letter, I will go to Cao Zheng, it can be regarded as His Royal Highness King Yan's personal trial, plus the handwritten letter of the official, it is enough to block the mouths of Zhang Dian and others, and make Wang Anli's case an iron case." ”
Zhao Hao suddenly coughed more violently, trembling all over, and the brocade was slipping off.
Changshi glanced at Yang Hui, pretending to be startled, and immediately shouted: "Imperial Doctor!" Imperial Doctor, Quickly Pass on Imperial Doctor! ”
The palace maids of the Yellow Gate quickly poured in, noisy and noisy, and made a mess.
Yang Hui saw Changshi's pretense, which was to drive him away. His brow furrowed, and he sat still. Let the palace maids, the yellow door shuttle back and forth, and the sound of ping-pong is constant, completely ignored.
It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to come, wiping the cold sweat on his head, and carefully giving Zhao Hao a pulse.
He was scared, he didn't dare to breathe, and he was more nervous than anyone else.
King Yan was 'critically ill' from time to time at this time, and he couldn't stand it!
Changshi knew that Zhao Hao was pretending, and Yu Guang kept looking at Yang Hui, and when he saw that Yang Hui was not leaving, he was secretly anxious.
If this person made up his mind to drag King Yan to try the case, they would only have to accompany him.
Zhao Hao closed his eyes and stopped coughing, as if he had fallen asleep.
The imperial doctor called for a while, looked hesitant, and said: "Liu Changshi, the king is weak and weak, his pulse is coming and going, and he is up and down. ”
Changshi wanted this sentence, and immediately said again and again: "Yes, Imperial Doctor Xie, please prescribe a prescription, and we will decoct the medicine." ”
The imperial doctor picked up the medicine box, quietly wiped the cold sweat, and cautiously walked out to write the prescription.
Changshi didn't seem to see Yang Hui, and followed the imperial doctor out, his face full of worry.
The side hall returned to calm, Zhao Hao lay down and pretended to sleep, and Yang Hui squinted and pretended to sleep.
For half an hour, the medicine was boiled, but Yang Hui still didn't leave.
After waiting for Changshi to finish feeding the medicine, he looked at Yang Wei and said with a smile: "Yang Xianggong, look, it's getting late, and the palace gate is about to close......"
Yang Hui opened his eyes and said lightly: "I'll wait for His Royal Highness King Yan to wake up, if His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't give me a letter today, I won't leave." If you want to drive me away, I'll bother the Empress Dowager. ”
Yang Hui is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and the Empress Dowager Gao has to give a few thin noodles, and she will not be driven away without seeing her like the Chen Dynasty.
Seeing this, Changshi glanced at Zhao Hao, who was pretending to be asleep, his heart was crooked, and he still smiled with a smile on his face: "Yang Xianggong, this is not in accordance with the rules, if the official family is punished, our king will not be able to intercede, so let's go out of the palace as soon as possible." ”
Yang Hui's expression was as usual, and he said: "When the time comes, I will go and ask for guilt, and I don't have to worry about Liu Changshi." ”
Liu Changshi saw that Yang Hui had made up his mind not to leave, and he had a headache, but he had no other way but to let Yang Hui sit here.
Zhao Hao, who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, sighed faintly in his heart, and said secretly, "When is it a ......head?"
At this time, Zhang Dian and the others are cleaning up the green tile house, preparing to get off work, although they have the right to stay in the outer court, it is not too important and too busy, and they will not stay if they can.
Before leaving, Zhang Dian looked at a scribe and said, "Yang Hui hasn't come out yet?" ”
The clerk hurriedly said: "Back to Xianggong, no, the villain has been staring." ”
Cai Bian walked over and said, "It seems that Zhao Hao has made up his mind and won't come out." ”
Zhang Dian snorted coldly and said, "If he doesn't have a ghost in his heart, why does he keep hiding and can't do anything at all?" The more he 'avoids suspicion' like this, the bigger his plan becomes! ”
Cai Bian knew that Zhao Hao had a conspiracy with the Empress Dowager Xiang, thought about it, and said, "If you want someone to send him out, he will be banned from the palace immediately." ”
Zhang Dan said: "No. They eat dogs, and we just watch. Let's go, let's go meet Cai Jing together. The Inspection Department should be assigned to the Criminal Department, not only in Kaifeng Prefecture, but also in prefectures and counties across the country. ”
Cai Bian didn't like that brother, but it was about law reform, so he nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
The two of them talked, walked out of the blue-tiled house, and discussed various things as they walked.
Funing Palace, study.
Hu Zhongwei handed over two booklets with a thick voice: "Official, this is the record of the comings and goings of people in the palace and the entry and exit of the palace gate recorded by the guards everywhere. ”
Zhao Xu took it and waved at him.
Hu Zhongwei raised his hand and saluted, retreated, closed the door, and stood guard outside.
Zhao Xu slowly flipped through it, and here recorded the entry and exit records of everyone in the palace, including the entry and exit of people outside the palace, where they went, who they met, and how long they stayed.
It includes everyone, including Zhao Xu, Chen Pi Tongguan, Cining Palace, Blue Tile Room, Confidential Room, Political Hall and so on.
Zhao Xu flipped through slowly, these records were very complicated and irregular, he occasionally had to record them to analyze some things from them.
I don't know how long I watched it, Chen Pi knocked on the door outside the door and said, "Official, the palace ban time is up, and Yang Hui is still in Cining Palace." ”
Zhao Xu looked up at the door without moving, and then said lightly: "Let people invite him out of the palace." ”
"Yes." Tangerine peel responded, followed by footsteps.
Zhao Xu lowered his head and continued to watch.
He first paid attention to the entrance and exit of the palace gate, then the vertical arch hall, then the Funing hall, and finally the Cining hall.
Everything else seems to be normal, but it is Cining Palace, which has been in and out a lot recently, and it is a little different from usual, but because of Zhao Hao's illness, it seems to be very normal.
Zhao Xu carefully looked at the entry and exit records of the various doors of the Cining Palace, his expression was a little weird, and he always felt that something was not right.
While Zhao Xu was watching and analyzing, Yang Hui was invited out of the Cining Palace.
Chen Pi accompanied him and said: "Yang Xianggong, some rules can't be broken, this is the harem, Cining Hall is the residence of the Empress Dowager, especially pay attention." ”
Yang Hui hurriedly said: "What Chen Daguan said is that Yang was not thoughtful, and asked Chen Daguan to convey to His Majesty that Yang Hui was guilty." ”
Chen Pi smiled and said, "Yang Xianggong walks slowly." ”
Yang Hui arched his hand, walked out of the Cining Palace, accompanied by the two yellow doors, and walked out, just a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and said loudly: "Please tell His Royal Highness King Yan, please recuperate, Yang will come back tomorrow." ”
The yellow door at the door hurriedly responded.
Chen Pi felt comfortable in his heart, looked at Yang Hui with a smile in his eyes, and wished that he would not leave in Cining Hall tonight.
In the side hall of Cining Palace, Zhao Hao, who was sure that Yang Hui was gone and pretended to be asleep for too long, sighed, sat up with some difficulty, and said, "If it goes on like this, I must be really sick." As he spoke, he untied some of the strips of cloth that were tied around his arms.
Changshi stood beside the bed, holding tea, and said with a wry smile: "King, we have tried our best to hide, why are we still looking for trouble one after another?" It's not intentional yet. ”
Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and said, "My eldest nephew has a good way, he roasted me on the fire, and he won't be clean in the future." ”
Changshi listened, and was a little puzzled, and said: "The king, you can call it sick and can't see it, why do you want to let them in?" ”
Zhao Hao put down the teacup, wiped his mouth, and said: "It's time like this, the opportunity is really good, I have to take the lead and let the courtiers know my existence." ”
Changshi suddenly understood, and said: "King, the official family is moving more and more, Zhang Qi and the others are going back to Beijing, and when the time comes, no one will be able to move, and whatever the official family says is what it is." With the support of Zhang Qi and the 200,000 troops in the north, Zhang Dian and the others can reinstate the 'Xining Law' unscrupulously, and I am afraid that they will go further than during the Shenzong period......"
Zhao Hao leaned on the head of the bed, nodded slightly, and suddenly said, "Have you noticed that the queen mother has been a little quiet recently?" ”
Changshi was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "The king is saying, what is Niangniang also preparing?" ”
Zhao Hao's face was different, and something flashed in his eyes, and said: "Don't underestimate the queen mother, the reason why the official family succeeded was nothing more than to suddenly master the palace and let my grandmother throw a mouse, but my grandmother has been listening to the government for seven years, and my eldest nephew will not clean Kaifeng City no matter how much he cleans it." ”
Changshi's expression changed slightly, and he was about to say something when he opened his mouth, but he swallowed it back violently.
The relationship between the official family and the Empress Dowager has been broken, coupled with the differences in the law change, if the Empress Dowager can take power again, the official family will definitely not be able to sit on the throne safely!
'Scrap and set up' is inevitable!
If the throne is replaced, who will the Empress Dowager replace?
Changshi looked at Zhao Hao with a somewhat uneasy expression.
At the beginning, Emperor Shenzong was seriously ill, and the succession to the throne was shaken, it was because of Zhao Hao, but later the courtiers were inclined to Zhao Xu, and the Empress Dowager Gao acted decisively, which made Zhao Hao have no chance.
Seven years have passed, and under the changing circumstances, will the Empress Dowager change her mind and give the throne to Zhao Hao?
Besides, how can an uncle inherit the throne of his nephew?
Zhao Hao understood Changshi's words, and his eyes were still looking in the direction of Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom.
His queen mother has indeed been a little quiet lately, what is brewing? His eldest nephew now has a good grasp of Kaifeng City, and Zhang Qi and the others are coming back, not to mention the power struggle, even if there is no possibility of success in the mutiny.
