"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

The sound of a little music sounded outside.

Li Xun stood up and stepped aside.

Zhao Zhi said to Li Xun: "Dog, if the prince asks about anything, you can tell him that when I am dying, I hope you will intercede with the Wing King Zhao He to save him from death." ”

Li Xun was stunned and puzzled: "Why? ”

"I won't harm you, obedient."

Zhao Zhi didn't explain much, obviously there were some things he didn't want to say more.

Li Xun was puzzled and wanted to ask again, but at this time, the door curtain was opened, and the ministers led by Zhao Xun entered the dormitory.

"Father, are you feeling better? Erchen is worried about you all the time. ”

Zhao Xun strode forward, knelt down on the side of the bed, held Zhao Zhi's palm, and cried loudly.

Zhao Zhi looked at Zhao Xun silently, silent, but Zhao Xun kept his head down, as if he was deliberately avoiding Zhao Zhi's gaze.

After a long time, Zhao Zhi said indifferently: "It's already dawn." ”

After waiting for a long time, I didn't expect Zhao Zhi to suddenly say such a sentence, everyone was slightly stunned, Zhao Xun raised his head at this time, looked at Zhao Zhi, and said softly: "Father, the sky is already dawning, the rebellion has been quelled by the sons, father, you can rest assured." ”

"Don't worry, it's not a problem that I can consider, people are watching the sky, Zhao Xun, since you want this responsibility, then give it to you, whether you do it well or not, it's up to you in the future?"

Zhao Zhi looked at Zhao Xun coldly and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The retainer is ready, and he will never live up to his father's expectations." ”

Zhao Zhi stared at Zhao Xun for a long time, and finally nodded: "You stand up, I have something to say." ”

"Yes, Father."

Zhao Xun got up and stood aside, his eyes swept Li Xun as if unintentionally, his brows furrowed slightly, when everyone came in, he was already here, and he was alone with Zhao Zhi.

Everyone took a few steps forward at this time, approaching Zhao Zhi, and the last moment was finally coming.

Zhao Zhi glanced at everyone, was silent for a moment, and then said in a low tone: "You and my monarchs and ministers have known each other for many years, and if you don't need to, I won't say more, I will make three arrangements." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhi paused for a moment or two, and then continued: "First, after my death, there is no need to wait until the funeral is over, the prince can ascend the throne in advance, and second, the left minister Li Zhongzhong is in charge of the command of the three armies of the forbidden army, and he can act cheaply, Yang Daolin continues to serve as the right minister, and after the prince ascends the throne, the two of them will assist the prince in taking charge of the government. ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhi looked at Li Xun, was silent for a while, and then said: "Third, Li Xun will resume his position as the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the political affairs, and join the political affairs hall as the prime minister. ”

Li Xun is the prime minister.

After listening to Zhao Zhi's final arrangement, everyone was in an uproar, how old is Li Xun this year? His contributions in recent years are indeed great, but he joined the political hall as a minister, not only considering merit and political achievements, but also comprehensive qualifications, prestige and personal background, among which the background is the most critical, there is a good saying, the political hall has no cold door, the Jin Dynasty has been founded for more than 500 years, the poor family was born, and finally able to enter the political hall as the prime minister, very few, at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the Wuzong Dynasty, these two periods, the emperor is strong, the imperial power is supreme, and some obstacles can be broken, so that many officials from the poor family, can be among the core power circles, and Zhao Zhi has been in power for nearly 30 years, and has always maintained the political attitude and means of suppressing the family of gate lords and reusing the officials of the poor family, but in the end, Li Zhong was able to be promoted to the political hall with great military exploits and qualifications.

In the final analysis, the influence and foundation of gate valve politics in the Jin Dynasty are too deep and too deep, and some emperors who have made achievements have always wanted to change this political environment, but unfortunately they cannot succeed and cannot be eradicated, because the fate of the family gate valve and the fate of the entire Jin Dynasty have been tightly entangled and difficult to separate.

Qin Anming stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Li Xun still lacks qualifications, is it better to experience one or two in the position of the right attendant of the military department first, and then consider promoting to the political affairs hall?" ”

Zhao Zhi looked at Qin Anming coldly: "This is my edict, you just need to listen with your ears, don't use your mouth to speak." ”

"Yes, the minister obeys."

Qin Anming pursed his lips and stepped back.

Zhao Zhi finally glanced at everyone: "Other matters, according to the system, I hope you can do your best and continue to assist the prince in governing the country, other than that, I have nothing to say, the prince stays, you all step down." ”

Everyone looked stunned, this is the end? It's too simple, Zhao Zhi's deathbed edict turned out to be three personnel transfers, as for other matters of the court and national affairs, not a word was mentioned, Qin Anming and other important ministers who had originally prepared a lot were useless at all, they were like going through a formality, everything here seemed to have nothing to do with them, which made everyone present very incomprehensible.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Zhong and Yang Daolin took the lead in bowing, and the others were puzzled, but they could only bow and salute helplessly, and then turned to leave.

For Zhao Zhi's final arrangement, Zhao Xun is also quite puzzled, just four people and three things, don't say anything else, it will be over in less than a cup of tea, don't talk about other people, even Zhao Xun has an illusion, is this too fast and too hasty?

This is a critical moment for the alternation of imperial power, just a few words, all over?

Zhao Xun asked in a low voice, "Father, you don't have anything else to say?" ”

Zhao Zhi said coldly: "Things rely on doing, not with your mouth to say, for the monarch you must be more cautious in your words and deeds, the Son of Heaven is full of words, you can't take it back when you say it, you must control your mouth, you understand?" ”

Zhao Xun nodded: "Erchen understands." ”

Zhao Zhi said lightly: "After you succeed to the throne, what are your plans?" ”

Zhao Xun hurriedly said: "Sons and daughters should follow their father's testament, be cautious and do things, and be diligent in government ......."

Zhao Zhi said out and planned Zhao Xun: "When these words are dead, you can tell others to listen, here is you and me, father and son, if you have anything to say, don't hide it." ”

Zhao Xun was silent, and after a long time, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Zhi, and said with bright eyes: "Father, the sons are ready to reuse Qin Anming, Liu Congji, Liu Zhigu and others to carry out reforms. ”

Zhao Zhi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Reform and reform is good, that is to change other people's lives, if you change it badly, you will change your own life, you have just ascended the throne, the throne is unstable, rash reform, have you thought about what the consequences will be?" ”

Zhao Xun lowered his head and whispered: "Father, as you know, the time of the sons and daughters is running out. ”
