Chapter 115 It is the hidden dragon lying in the abyss

In May of the fifteenth year of Jiading in the Great Song Dynasty, although it was around the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin'an City did not have any festive atmosphere, and the continuous rain made the whole city damp and pressing.

Hearing the sound of dripping rain outside, Zhao Heju sighed slightly, since he came to Lin'an, it seems to be rainy every day in his memory. It seems that there is mold on his body, which makes him suffocate and panic, if he is in Yuzhang Villa, he can still move his body, but here, every move is watched by the eyes of the bright and the dark, so that he is extremely careful, even if he is trotting in the yard, he has to worry about whether he will be regarded as a madman.

Zheng Qingzhi still came to teach and preach at him every few days, Zhao Heju always respected him, although his academic progress was not very fast, but after seeing more, Zheng Qingzhi still had a very good impression of him. It's just that Zhao and Ju never met Shi Miyuan in private, and they only met together during the court meeting, and they just bowed and passed.

He guarded the mansion, but he also knew that the undercurrent in Lin'an City had been turbulent recently, Shi Miyuan and the prince Zhao Hong had already torn their faces, and although most of the courtiers were watching, these two of them were attacking each other in front of the Son of Heaven.

However, during this period of time, the Son of Heaven's health seems to have improved, and the number of times he has gone to court has also increased.

"Your Highness, look at this."

While he was sitting upright and pondering, Han Yu's voice came, Zhao Youju turned his face, but saw Han Yu wearing a garland and running in with a smile.

It was rare for her to have such a lively time, Zhao Heju's heart warmed, thinking that she was watching herself so silent, thinking of how to make herself happy.

"This flower is perfect for you." Zhao Youju said lightly.

Han Yu was wearing a gardenia garland, under the pure white petals, her pink and delicate face looked even more moist, and the fragrance of the gardenia could be smelled from afar, Zhao Heju couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Seeing that Zhao Heju was still like that, Han Yu's heart sank slightly, she didn't know that Zhao Heju was deliberately pretending to be like this, but when she saw him like this, her heart would hurt. When he was in Yuzhang Villa, although Zhao Heju was not smiling, his care was something that everyone could feel. And in the Yiwang Mansion, only occasionally he will show the kind of care he had back then, and more often, he is like a wooden man, dull and wooden.

Han Yu was extremely cautious, she could guess that Zhao and Ju were pretending to be like this, and that assassination incident made her understand why Zhao and Ju pretended to be like this. It's just that she still has heartache, and her heart aches that her master has to work so hard.

Even if you laugh, you can't laugh freely, in the mansion of King Yi, the weather in May is average, hot and humid.

"Your Highness, get up and take a walk?" Han Yu asked.

"No, I'll read the book for a while." Zhao and Ju replied.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the hospital, Zhao Heju's heart moved, listening to the sound, there seemed to be a lot of people, and the footsteps of a few people were particularly heavy. Zhao Heju's heart moved, this Yiwang Mansion because of his character, everyone walks lightly, and dares to walk so unscrupulously......

"Ayu, you go in." Zhao Heju commanded in a low voice, made a gesture, and crossed the index and middle fingers of his two hands together.

This is a gesture that was taught to the young man in Yuzhang Villa, which means to be careful not to make a sound. Han Yu's heart sank, and she hurriedly retreated into the house, Zhao Heju held the book and whispered, shaking her head while reading.

The one who can break into his courtyard like this must be a person with a very high status, and Zhao Heju doesn't want such characters to see Han Yu's current appearance. Han Yu didn't know about himself, but he understood the charm of Han Yu when she wore the gardenia crown. Zhao Youju didn't want to let Han Yu be favored by a nobleman because of a carelessness, and then ruin his achievements that had been obscure for a long time.

As for giving Han Yu to the nobles in exchange for a moment of peace, this kind of thing, Zhao Youju will never do it. He poured a lot of effort into the righteous girls, not to give them to others as playthings when they grew up, and he was not the kind of person who could see the suffering of the people around him and be indifferent.

"Guicheng is really hardworking."

The visitor went directly into his study, slowed down slightly at the door, and then Zhao Youju could hear his voice. This voice made Zhao Heju's heart move slightly, he raised his head, only glanced at it, and then slowly got up and saluted.

"Your Majesty sincerely greets Your Majesty." He straightened his sleeves and bowed.

The person who came was Zhao Kuo, the son of the current Great Song Dynasty.

"Get up, you and my uncle and nephew, no need to be polite." He was only halfway down when he was grabbed by a hand, Zhao Kuo said with a smile. Zhao and Ju still finished saluting respectfully, and then got up and stood solemnly in front of Zhao Kuo.

In all fairness, this Son of Heaven is extremely dedicated and a good emperor. He was cowardly by nature, when Emperor Guangzong abdicated and asked him to inherit the throne, he was so frightened that he ran around the hall until the Empress Dowager scolded him, so he stood honestly, and still said "I can't do it". After he became the emperor, he was tireless in learning, but his talent was slightly poor, and he couldn't learn. He is also very concerned about the people's livelihood and suffering, and on the eve of the New Year's Eve, the inner bell persuaded him to operate for fun, but he sat on the candle, saying that there are still people who do not have food in the people, how can he do it in the palace. He is even an excellent boss, and he does not suspect that he is suspicious, first Han Yanxuan, and then Shi Miyuan, these two rulers have been in power for a long time, and they have won his trust.

Sometimes Zhao Youju even thinks that if he can meet a Zhang Juzheng, then it is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and he may not be able to match him.

It's a pity that in the end, the ministers' party continued to quarrel with each other, and Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan were extremely selfish, talentless and virtuous.

It's just that today he came to this Yi Wangfu, but he didn't know what it meant.

"Hugh is restrained, I'm not here to scare you, I'm just here to see you." Seeing his appearance, Zhao Kuo was slightly displeased.

In Zhao Kuo's heart, he was always a little ashamed, because his own throne should have been the dead King of Yi Zhao Lu. Moreover, although Zhao Lu and him were only uncles and brothers, the relationship between the two was very good, and the relationship was extremely deep. Emperor Xiaozong did not have many descendants, and uncles and brothers like them were no different from their own brothers.

It's just that the bloodline of King Yi's lineage has been cut off, and it is his own ......

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo was a little interested. He sighed, and then said lightly: "Guicheng, you are so good to study, you don't need to send me." ”

turned around, and didn't look at Zhao Heju, who was saluting, and Zhao Kuo went out like this. He came suddenly and went quickly, so that Zhao Youju couldn't figure it out. In the later history that Zhao and Ju remembered, there is no record of this kind of thing at all, and it is not even seen in the wild history. Why did the Son of Heaven come this time? He only said a word and then turned away, looking disappointed, why?

The Son of Heaven came to the Yiwang Mansion this time, is it a blessing or a curse?

Zhao Youju suddenly felt a little frightened, before, he thought that relying on his understanding of the historical trend, his own family and his opponent would always be in a situation of information asymmetry, and he could snatch Yelu Chucai from Temujin's hands first according to the information contained in the history, and he could pretend to be dull, patient, and docile according to the character of Shi Miyuan in the history to do what he liked. But the Son of Heaven Zhao Kuo's thoughtless actions made him unable to deal with it.

Standing in the study for a while, there was a fragrance of gardenias around him, and it was Han Yu who walked out again. Zhao Youju sighed and slowly sat back in his chair, and at this time, a sharp pain came from his temples.

This kind of headache has not come for a long time, and Zhao Youju originally thought that as his body grew, this kind of headache would disappear.

Han Yu's gentle hand rested on his forehead, she was extremely meticulous, and when she saw Zhao Youju's appearance, she understood that he had a headache again.

When the news of the arrival of the Son of Heaven at the Mansion of King Yi reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi Miyuan was overjoyed at the beginning, and he continued to agitate in front of the Son of Heaven these days, only saying that the emperor's nephew Zhao Guicheng was tireless in learning, very virtuous, quite similar to the Son of Heaven, and finally said that the Son of Heaven Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo's trip to the Yi Palace, to a large extent, was to examine the heir of the King of Yi. This also means that his efforts to persuade the Son of Heaven to appoint Zhao Guicheng as the crown prince have finally paid off. But just a moment later, the news came from Shi Miyuan to the bottom of the valley from the clouds, and the Son of Heaven barely stopped in the palace of King Yi, only to see the heir of King Yi and turned to leave.

After asking carefully about what happened at that time, Shi Miyuan was also extremely dazed, the heir of King Yi dealt with it very decently, and the Son of Heaven also saw that he was studying tirelessly, but why did the Son of Heaven still leave at first sight?

"Yes, tell me, what does Your Majesty mean by this trip?" After summoning Xue Ji, Shi Miyuan asked.

"Your Majesty's trip was originally a minister's force, and your Majesty's dragon has been in good health recently, so he will come to the Yiwang Mansion." Xue Ji also frowned, he glanced at Shi Miyuan cautiously, trying to make himself look no smarter than Shi Miyuan, twisted his beard, and muttered for a long time before saying: "Xianggong Mingjian, I don't think there is anything wrong with King Yi's heir to deal with it, I really can't think of why Your Majesty is hot first and then cold." ”

Shi Miyuan looked at Xuan Jian again, unlike the cautious Xue Ji, Xuan Xuan, who had been the secretary of the Ministry of War, was not so cautious, he was now a fellow privy councillor, and he was also a close person to Shi Miyuan. Now above the court, Shi Miyuan and his party are extremely numerous, but most of them are minions, and the real henchmen are the Liao Liao people here.

"The lower officials think that no matter what the intention of His Majesty's trip is, it will not hinder the big thing." Xuan Xuan straightened his waist, he had an excellent beard, so when he spoke, he would always unconsciously hold his beard with his hand: "Now Your Majesty is growing in spring and autumn, there is no news in the harem, and the person who is established is either the prince or the king of Yi." As long as His Majesty is disgusted with the prince, the heir of King Yi can replace him! ”

He was extremely bold, and he didn't shy away from saying this, Xue Ji's face changed slightly, and he quietly glanced out of the door. Shi Miyuan smiled faintly, not caring at all, this outside has already been cleaned up, even if there is not a single ant, how can anyone eavesdrop!

"The prime minister has repeatedly made statements to the Son of Heaven, and he has been extremely abusive to the prince, and there is really no virtue of the master, but His Majesty has made false accusations every time." Shi Miyuan sighed: "I thought that the heir of King Yi was loyal and hardworking, and he was quite similar to His Majesty, and he could be pleased by His Majesty, but he didn't expect it to be ......."

For His Majesty today, Shi Miyuan is quite contemptuous in his heart, his position as emperor was originally taken by Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu for him, and his performance was mediocre after he ascended the throne. In Shi Miyuan's view, when today's qualifications are mediocre, everything he does is within his expectations, although it is contrary to his intentions in the matter of establishing a prince, but Shi Miyuan is confident that he can finally do what he wants.

But in the past six months, he found that he seemed to be a little unable to see through the emperor.

"Don't worry, this matter may not be a good thing." Xue Ji persuaded him.

They were here to figure out the holy will, but the prince Zhao Hong over there was laughing. Contrary to Shi Miyuan, who was happy first and then worried, he was worried first and then happy. Originally, when he learned that the Son of Heaven drove the Linyi Palace, he was so angry that he smashed a few porcelain cups in the house, and later learned that the Son of Heaven only said a word to the heir of the King of Yi and turned around and left.

"That wild seed, something that came from nowhere, even dares to covet the big treasure, do you know what Lone wants to see the most now?" He hugged his favorite palace maid Lu Qi and smiled: "What Gu wants to see most now is Shi Xinen's old face!" He found this country boy because he wanted to control it, but he didn't expect that this boy was stupid, not only did he not please his father, but he also made his father disgusted...... Haha, Lu Qi, if I can achieve my ambition one day, I will go to the Qiongya Cliff of Shi Mi far away, and die of old age in that barbaric land! ”

Lu Qi's eyes flickered, her eyes flickered a little, and she said in a low voice: "Your Highness, these big things, the slaves don't understand, Your Highness don't talk to the slaves." ”

"It's because you don't understand, that's why I listen to you!" Zhao Hong gently held her soft twing, and seeing that her face was not good, she asked, "Are you unwell?" ”

"No, no, Your Highness wants to listen to the slave drum and qin?"

"Naturally, if you come to your place alone, you want to listen to your piano." Zhao Hong sat at the table, took a pen and paper, and waved his hand to Lu Qi: "The drum song "He Bridegroom", Xin Jiaxuan's song boss can still say!" ”

"This song is not good to sing, and it has to be played by the Kansai Han with iron plates and copper piporal drums." Lu Qiyan smiled: "How about a slave or sing Hu Bangheng's "Good Things Are Near" for His Royal Highness?" ”

"Fabulous, superb!" Zhao Hong said overjoyed.

Lu Qi plucked the strings lightly, and the sound of the strings was like water, and before you knew it, it filled the whole room. She opened her lips slightly and began to sing: "Wealth has no intention, why don't you ...... the accident township"

She chanted and tasted, while Zhao Hong worked hard to write, writing quickly on the paper. Compared with Shi Miyuan, he is more worried about the current Son of the Palace Empress Yang, although Shi Miyuan is the Son of Heaven's credit, but after all, he is an outsider, and he does not have much say in the matter of establishing an heir, but Queen Yang is not, the prince is her son, plus the Son of Heaven was sick and weak in the past, and most of the major matters are decided by Queen Yang, if the Son of Heaven has an accident before the establishment of the prince, then Queen Yang is the key. It's just that Empress Yang has always been friendly with Shi Miyuan, and it was they who worked with the dead former prince to get rid of the powerful minister Han Yanxuan, and when he thought of this, Zhao Hong felt that Empress Yang was also hateful.

In May of the fifteenth year of Jiading in the Great Song Dynasty, after a brief turmoil because the Son of Heaven drove the Linyi Palace, the prince Zhao Hong was named the Duke of Jiguo, and Zhao Guicheng, the heir of the King of Yi, was changed from the Guozhou regimental training envoy to the Shaozhou defense envoy, which can be regarded as a promotion.

Note 1: Zhao Kuo's throne, this is a confused account of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Xiaozong's eldest son died at the age of twenty-four, he did not set up the second son Zhao Kai (Zhao Lu's father), but set up the third son Guangzong Zhao Dian (Ningzong's father), that is, the famous mad emperor in history. Because Empress Guangzong was fierce and fierce, Xiaozong did not want to take Zhao Kuan, the son of Guangzong, as the crown prince, but wanted to establish Zhao Lu.

Note 2: The word Xuanxuan has not been found in the History of the Song Dynasty.

Note 3: Because of the empress Li Fengniang, Guangzong was at odds with Emperor Xiaozong, who was in his Zen position, and he didn't even see his side for several years. After the death of Xiaozong, Guangzong did not even preside over the funeral for him, Zhao Ruyu was the ruling minister at the time, and seeing that the situation was not good, he persuaded the Empress Dowager Wu to take advantage of Guangzong's madness to force him to abdicate Neizen and put Ningzong Zhao Kuo on the throne.

Note 4: The full lyrics of Xin Qiji's song are as follows: The boss is still able to say. It seems that now, Yuanlong smells, and Meng Gong has something to do with it. My sick gentleman came to sing and drink, and the snow flew on the building. Laughing at wealth and wealth, like hair. Who will listen to the hard words, remember the time, only the west window month. Re-enter the wine and call for the serpent. It's no different, people are different. After all, ask Qu Nong and Shenzhou, several clutches. No one cares about the sweat, blood and salt car, and thousands of miles empty to collect the bones. The eyes are broken, and the road to the river is cut off. I pity you the most for dancing in the middle of the night, and the man is like a man to death. Look at the test hand and mend the crack.

Note 5: Hu Bangheng, that is, Hu Quan, dared to write to Qin Hui when Qin Hui was extremely powerful, and Lu Qi wanted to play this person's song at this time, which really meant to welcome, so Zhao Hong would be very happy. In order to avoid the suspicion of quoting the number of words, the full words are recorded here: Wealth is unintentional, why is the accident not good? The sky makes the ape frightened and resentful, and mistakenly sours the autumn moon. The capsule cone is just about to come out, and it is not a good time. If you want to drive a towel car back, there are jackals.
