In the Song Palace.

King Song looked at the Shangguan doctor in the palace, and his heart was filled with nausea.

At the beginning, in order to gain the support of the Chu State to fight against the Qi and Wei countries, he specially invited the important minister of the Chu State, Shangguan Dafu, to serve as the Song Minister.

As a result, it didn't take long for the Song State to follow the Chu State to attack Wei, and the Chu State secretly attacked the Yue State and took the Yue State lightly within two months.

When the news came, King Song was dumbfounded, and when he looked back at his original move to invite Dr. Shangguan to Song, he was really stupid and was killed by Chu State.

At that time, the Song State, with the support of the Chu State, seized a large amount of land between Qi and Wei, and the relationship with the two countries was extremely bad. And the destruction of the state of Chu immediately aroused the hostility of all countries in the world.

At that time, the Song State was not tolerant of other countries, and it was worried that the Chu State would later destroy the Song State like the Yue State.

Therefore, in order to show the determination of the Song State to break with the Chu State, and in order to cover up his decision-making mistakes, the Song King expelled Shangguan Dafu.

However, what King Song didn't expect was that just over two years later, the King of Chu actually sent a doctor Shangguan to Song, whom he hated so much.

At this moment, as soon as King Song saw Doctor Shangguan, he immediately remembered the scene of being calculated by the State of Chu in the past, as if he was being ridiculed by the King of Chu.

In the case that the King of Qi returned to heaven at the same time, the King of Chu must have sent this person on purpose, to disgust him.

Disgusting.

King Song was disgusted in his heart, but in the current form, he could only show a smile and said with a smile: "Xianqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, the widow is very worried in his heart, I don't know if Xianqing came to Song this time, do you have any advice for the widow?" ”

When Doctor Shangguan heard this, he saw that the King of Song obviously did not want to see him, and he refused to even see him at the beginning, so he drove him out of Shangqiu and expelled him from the Song, but now that he came to the Song again, the King of Song had to show a kind smile and meet him with a smile.

Seeing this, Dr. Shangguan's heart felt like drinking honey, and he was very comfortable.

However, he was not satisfied with this, the purpose of his coming to Song this time was not only that, he came with a big goal.

Thinking about it, Doctor Shangguan couldn't help but show a mockery and ridicule on his face, smiled, and then said arrogantly: "King, the widow ordered his foreign ministers to enter the Song Dynasty this time, but I heard that the king asked the prince to build a city in Huaibei and let the prince garrison Huaibei, is there such a thing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the Song State in the palace saw that the Shangguan Doctor asked the Song King in a tone like the envoys of the Son of Heaven reprimanding the princes, as if the Song State was like a vassal state of the Chu State.

Then I saw him look proud, and looked at the eyes of the ministers of the Song Kingdom as if he were looking at a subordinate.

Immediately they were furious.

"The envoy of the state of Chu is rude."

"Why is the waiter disrespectful to the king!"

"King, please expel the Chu envoy..."

King Song originally saw that Doctor Shangguan was sneering and his expression was high, and a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart, and the anger had not been suppressed, and when he heard his extremely uninferior tone, he was immediately angry.

However, when I heard the words of the ministers, I saw that Dr. Shangguan was still sarcastic and fearless.

Seeing this, King Song felt that there was a huge gap in the strength of Chu and Song in his heart, so he immediately suppressed his anger, and then waved his hand, and after suppressing the voice of the ministers, he snorted coldly: "Xianqing, this is an internal matter of the Song Kingdom, and the King of Chu sent Qing to ask about this kind of thing, this hand is too long." Could it be that the king of Chu had already intended to be called the Son of Heaven and began to meddle in the internal affairs of various countries. ”

Doctor Shangguan was stunned, this remark was easy to arouse the anger of various countries, and he did not dare to accept it.

So, he immediately shook his head and said: "The king misunderstood, it's not that the widow wants to meddle in the internal affairs of the Song Kingdom, but the daughter of the crown prince, who is the favorite concubine of the widow, I heard that his father had a conflict with the king, and was driven to Huaibei by the king to build a city, and repeatedly begged the widow, hoping that the widow would come forward to ask, could it be that the king intends to abolish the prince?" ”

As soon as the three words of the abolished prince came out, the hall was suddenly silent, and even many Song Chen, who were originally angry at Doctor Shangguan, lowered their heads slightly intentionally or unintentionally, and then put all their thoughts on King Song's face.

The King of Song has been standing on his own for nearly 30 years, and Prince Zizhen has been the prince for 30 years, and Prince Zhen has been trembling all these years, assisting King Song to govern the Song Kingdom, without any mistakes, and has a very high reputation among the ministers and people.

Especially now that the age of the King of Song is approaching the age of the sixtieth birthday, counting the age of the death of the Song kings of the past dynasties, and even the age of the death of the kings of all countries in the world, the King of Song is considered to be old. Although there is no major problem with King Song's health now, when he is old, it is easy to say that he will leave.

Therefore, the old King Song has not much time left, and most of the ministers and people in the country are interested in the crown prince.

What's more, the crown prince has been the crown prince in the court for so many years, and his power has long been deep-rooted, and the power of other princes is far inferior to that of the prince.

Rather than abolishing the crown prince at this time, which is likely to cause civil strife in the Song Dynasty, it is better to continue to let the crown prince be the prince.

At this time, when the king of Song heard that the doctor Shangguan had announced the abolition of the crown prince, he immediately transferred the contradiction between Chu and Song to him and the crown prince, and was immediately furious.

He also had this idea in his heart about the abolition of the prince, but he never said it.

Although not long ago, he used Qi Guotian to purge the prince's henchmen and pro-Chu ministers from the courtesy, but to the helplessness of the Song king, he had tried to maintain neutrality in the court with the matter of abolishing the prince, and did not defect to the ministers of the prince's court.

As a result, nine times out of ten, the ministers did not support him in doing what he had done.

Therefore, he could only let the prince stay away from the national capital and go to Huaibei to build a city to slowly figure it out.

As soon as the crown prince left the capital, everyone basically understood his thoughts.

There are those who persuade him not to mess around, there are those who draw a clear line with the crown prince, and there are those who persuade him to directly abolish the crown prince.

However, King Song himself knew in his heart that the current crown prince was still very prestigious, and there were many supporters, and it was not yet time to be abolished. Those who persuaded him to abolish the crown prince didn't have any good intentions at all.

Therefore, in the past few months, King Song has been silently doing the matter of abolishing the prince, but he has never announced this matter. In order not to cause dissatisfaction among the ministers, but also to avoid provoking the already extremely uneasy heart of the prince, so that the prince Zhen took risks.

For this reason, the king of Song also dismissed the ministers who publicly persuaded him to abolish the establishment, so as to appease the prince's impatience.

Now, this Shangguan doctor is in the main hall, among the ministers, directly picking up this matter, intending to hijack the hearts of the ministers and kidnap his will.

This...

King Song looked at the silent ministers in the hall, and then at the damned Shangguan doctor, and a wave of anger appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, he can't say bluntly that he wants to abolish the crown prince, as soon as he says this, Song Guo will definitely blow up.

At the same time, now he can't say that he doesn't mean to abolish the prince.

Otherwise, this Shangguan doctor would definitely hold the ministers hostage and persuade him to let the prince come back. In this way, all the ministers stood on the side of the crown prince and opposed him, the king of Song, not to mention that he, the king of Song, would be completely disadvantaged, and it would also cause the Song State to face the Chu State extremely unfavorably.

And if Prince Zizhen comes back this time, then next time he wants to drive Prince Zhen away, it will not be so easy.

Thinking about it, a trace of sweat appeared on King Song's head, he looked at the ministers in the palace, then at Doctor Shangguan, and after looking back and forth, he finally looked at Doctor Shangguan who seemed to be smiling in the hall, and was silent for a long time.
