Chapter 297: Establishing the Crown Prince
In a palace outside Xingqing Mansion, Li Yuanhao looked at this beauty who tickled his heart flatteringly, he never pried open the heart of the beauty for several months, no matter what the method, if a man wants to conquer a woman, he will succeed by forced means, and there will not be much sense of accomplishment in his heart, this palace is a gift he gave to the black cloud.
Li Yuanhao became more and more arrogant, defeated Yelu Zongzhen and polarized his reputation among the tribes, and the victory in the war against the Liao State did not bring wealth to the tribes, but instead went on a rampage, and only those tribes who made a living from the war sought after him.
He didn't hide Heiyun's mood now is more complicated, he successfully approached Li Yuanhao with the help of Lu Zifei's caravan's financial resources, but she didn't want Li Yuanhao to get it easily, and then he disliked Li Yuanhao's dirty, it was really dirty, would you like to touch a man who hasn't taken a bath for a few months? Coupled with the feeling of missing her son and the guilt in her heart, she was confused, and she didn't know whether the path she chose was right or wrong.
In order to please her, Li Yuanhao promoted Wu Zang Pang to deputy prime minister, and the promotion speed rose at the speed of a rocket, and most of the government affairs of the court were handed over to him, everyone knew that the position of the prime minister would be his sooner or later, and he was also very smart if he didn't hide it, he didn't bet on his sister alone, he put himself in Ning Lingge's shoes, and the two of them met when they met each other.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the distance between Xiping Mansion and Xingqing Mansion is too close, although the merchants have brought huge wealth there in recent years, but the gains outweigh the losses, the king's mind is not bad in the government, but if someone wants to pull teeth, then you think wrong."
Brother Ning Lingge didn't agree with the words of the Emperor who didn't hide it, his position was very embarrassing, sitting in the position of the prince, there was a strong father and emperor pressing him, and a group of arrogant soldiers below didn't hang him, if he wanted to do something, he had no money in his hand! So he set his sights on the rich Xiping Mansion.
"Is there a way for Lord Wuzang to let the Pochou family hand over Xiping Mansion, watching their tribe buy a lot of money every day, I am unwilling." Brother Ning Lingge's expression was hesitant, struggling, and helpless.
Didn't hide Pang said: "To tell the truth, His Royal Highness the Prince, it is impossible for the Pochou family to hand over Xiping Mansion, even if it is handed over, it will not be in your hands. ”
Brother Ning Ling said irritably: "This is not good, that is not good, I might as well tie my hands and sit on the ground and wait for death." "It's enough for a prince to think of himself as himself, and the biggest shame is that his father robbed him of the crown princess.
This is a laughing stock in the eyes of others, and my father sometimes boldly takes her to the banquet, adulterer and adulteress, one day I will make you pay, I promise, Brother Ning Ling swore in his heart.
I didn't hide it and thought a lot in my heart, why Xiping Mansion has developed into what it is today in a few years, and it is not inferior to Xingqing Mansion in the capital in terms of prosperity, because of merchants, merchants from the south, but these merchants came very strangely,
It seems that it all came out all at once, and when he checked the number of horse farms this year, he found that the horses in the Pochou family horse farm were not right, and there were more than 10,000 fewer horses in two years, and the reason they reported it was the epidemic, but the suspicious nature did not believe it.
In general, the situation in Western Xia is still under control, no matter how ridiculous Li Yuanhao is, but his control of the army and the combat effectiveness of the army are maintained very well, Yeli Wangrong has now become a good training object, if there are new soldiers, they will be pulled out to fight, and the two sides will gradually become tacit, if you don't fight with you, you will fight a little.
Back in the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Zifei had been in the palace for three days, King Yong's illness had stabilized, and now the trouble was the scar left after the pus on his face was healed, and this difficult task was handed over to Wang Weiwei, because he would not do plastic surgery.
Zhao Zhen happily looked at his son who was playing in bed, he was full of gratitude to the young man in front of him, from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to reward Lu Zifei, but he refused, the reason was that he was afraid of standing on the cusp, and finally under the pressure of the queen, he chose the ingredients in the imperial dining room as a reward, and everyone had a happy ending!
Let Zhao Xin play with the toy in his hand, Lu Zifei said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, I have an immature idea, do you want to listen to it?" ”
Lu Zifei's cautious and tentative tone made Zhao Zhen laugh, and Zhao Zhen said, "Say! I'm not a tyrant, I won't do anything to you if I make a suggestion, and Da Song doesn't use his words to judge the crime in the court, not to mention that we are in private. ”
Lu Zifei said: "Your Majesty, don't you think that King Yong is too lonely in the palace alone? It's not good for a child to face a group of adults all day long and have no one to play with him. ”
"I understand what you said, when I was a child, I was because I was alone, and I understood that kind of loneliness, so I wanted to find him a companion, I told the queen several times, but you know, the queen has become a stranger to me, and she doesn't even bother to care about the harem now."
Lu Zifei said: "It's just a suggestion, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, the neighbors of the Great Song Dynasty are a group of hungry wolves, now King Yong is still young, and when he is older in the future, knowledge and experience are particularly important." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Yes! Isn't your son a few months younger than Xin'er? Otherwise, you will send him to the palace for Xin'er to read as a companion in the future. ”
Lu Zifei said hesitantly: "My mother is probably reluctant"
The conversation between the two people is not like a monarch and a minister, but more like an elder chatting with a junior, Zhao Zhen wanted to tell him about King Pu's entry into the palace that day, Lu Zifei found an excuse and slipped away, King Yong turned the corner, Zhao Zongshi was not unlucky.
Empress Cao came in and said with a smile: "This kid knows how to measure, the emperor used to say that he didn't have enough reverence for the emperor, but I observed him for several days and found that he respected you very much!" And he's a very rules-conscious person. ”
Zhao Zhen asked rhetorically: "Don't you see that his respect for me doesn't come from the throne?" I was still worried about his reward yesterday, and I thought about it just now, we can reward his son who is about the same age as Xin'er. ”
"That's a good idea, you keep thinking, I'll go with my son." Zhao Xin's illness made Queen Cao's love for her son volatilize to her bones, and she didn't want to bear that kind of desperate edge again.
This afternoon, officials large and small have received the news of tomorrow's morning court, everyone is still a little surprised, seven days have not been on the morning court, it seems that the smallpox in the palace has passed, but I don't know how King Yong is.
The next morning, everyone entered the Zichen Hall in the morning, and the familiar taste and recipe were still the same, and the pattern decoration did not change at all.
There are a lot of things to do in front, most of them are games between changing the law and being conservative, ripping the skin, attacking and destroying, Zhao Xin smiled and looked at the ministers who changed the soup and did not change the medicine to scold, anyway, it has been a year, and they have to come to such a show every time they go to the court, and they are used to it.
The people on both sides were almost talking, and Shangguan Wen asked according to the usual practice: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”
Everyone thought that they would retreat from the court, but one person stood up and said: "The emperor is playing, and the minister has the right to play." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "What does Yan Shilang have to play?" ”
Liang Shi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Yigu is his subordinate, and he is also his assistant, if there is something wrong with the Ministry of Rites, he still doesn't know, several people know that a good show is coming when they see Liang Shi's expression, this is a typical offense.
Yan Yigu has already been listed, Zhao Zhen has also spoken, it is too late to stop it, Yan Yigu said: "I heard that someone in the palace was infected with smallpox, this person is still His Royal Highness King Yong, I don't know if there is such a thing." ”
Zhao Zhen sat up from half-lying down, he knew that someone would definitely not let go of this opportunity, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, today is only the first day to go to the court, you can't wait, an official position of a waiter from the Ministry of Rites from the third grade is not small, and it belongs to the real high-level.
Not only did Liang Shi react, but the old foxes who were standing in the front position also understood, Yan Yigu asked what he meant by this is whether King Yong is still alive, and if he is not alive, the emperor will have to consider the issue of the prince, this is not courage, but boldness.
Zhao Zhen had a smile on his face, and the words he said were not with a smile, "What if there is, what if there is not, Yan Shilang will tell me the difference here, I am tired of Yan Shilang when the emperor was deceived." ”
Yan Yigu's face rolled down with beads of sweat on his face, the matter came to this point, and he had to go on his head, and he himself knew that there would be no place for him here after today, but thinking about the promise of his son and that person, he still opened his mouth.
"Smallpox is a terminal disease, if His Royal Highness King Yong is infected with smallpox, the minister feels that the emperor should set the prince down as soon as possible."
It's one thing to think in my heart, but it's another thing to really say it, everyone's eyes glanced at it, and found that King Pu didn't come to the court today, it turned out that Yan Shilang was a front stationer, but this news was also exciting enough.
Bao Zheng was the first to stand up and said: "I don't understand Yan Shilang's words, I understand you when King Yong was not born a few years ago, and now there is His Royal Highness King Yong, how many benefits Yan Shilang has received from others!" The emperor is the next of His Royal Highness King Yong, does this prince still need to stand? ”
The actual situation is also what Bao Zheng said, no one has mentioned the matter of establishing a prince since Zhao Xin was born, who is willing to let someone else's son be the prince if he has his own son, unless he has a brain disease.
Yan Yigu stiffened his neck and said, "Bao Fu Yin, didn't you hear what I said?" King Yong contracted smallpox, it was a terminal illness, don't you know? ”
Bao Zheng said: "I know! I'm not an idiot, but whoever told you that a terminal illness is going to die. ”
Your uncle, what is the death of a terminally ill person, what is the meaning of you and I lifting this bar, and you still can't recognize the reality?
