"Uncle Wu, what does Your Majesty mean when he said on his deathbed that he was sorry for the queen in the matter of Kou Xianggong?" Li Zhang asked with a puzzled face at this time, he remembered all the words that Zhao Heng said before he died, and he could understand Zhao Heng's mood at that time, but he was a little inexplicable about what he said to Liu E.

"Did Your Majesty really say that?" Lu Wu also said with a surprised expression when he heard Li Zhang's words.

"yes, I've been thinking about it for the past few days, but I can't ask anyone about it." Li Zhang spoke again.

I saw that Lu Wu also frowned at this time, and after a long while, he sighed and said: "I didn't expect the rumors from the outside world to be true, Kou Xianggong really did that kind of thing for this reason!" ”

"Uncle Wu, what are you talking about, what rumors are true, and what did Kou Xianggong do?" Li Zhang asked more curiously when he heard this, it seems that he really asked the right person, Lu Wu should know about this.

"This matter is a long story, mainly related to Kou Xiang, you also know that Kou Xiang has gone through ups and downs several times, and has angered His Majesty several times, the reason why Kou Xiang was able to return to the court again last time, do you know the reason?" Lu Wu sighed again, and then spoke.

"What is the reason?" Li Zhang asked eagerly, he also knew that Kou Zhun was a little arbitrary in government because of his loyal personality, and he opposed Zhao Heng's Tianshu Movement, which caused him to be demoted several times, but a few years ago, Kou Zhun was re-activated as a prime minister, which was also the last time he was a prime minister, but he was soon demoted again, and this time he went to Leizhou, and he did not come back until he died.

"In fact, the reason why Kou Xiang was activated last time was actually because he presented a book of heaven to His Majesty!" Lu Wu spoke again with a heavy face.

"What? This...... How is this possible? Li Zhang was also taken aback when he heard this, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

Zhao Zhen in order to seal Mount Tai, so that people forged the Book of Heaven and put it on the eaves of the imperial city, so that the ministers agreed to him to go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, which was also the first time that the Great Song Dynasty discovered the Book of Heaven, but later the following people in order to cater to Zhao Heng, and several times discovered the so-called "Book of Heaven", for example, Wang Qinruo forged the Book of Heaven again when Zhao Zhen sealed Zen, so as to get a rapid promotion, and even became the prime minister.

In fact, everyone knew that the "Book of Heaven" that Zhao Heng discovered for the first time was fake, but no one dared to question it, Wang Qinruo also seized this opportunity to forge the Book of Heaven again, in order to curry favor with Zhao Heng, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, it can't be fake twice, don't say it, at that time, many people really believed that the Book of Heaven was given to the Great Song Dynasty by God.

Of course, most of the officials in the court know the inside story, but few people are as shameless as Wang Qinruo, after all, everyone is a scholar, even if they pat the emperor's sycophants, at least they must be hidden, such as discovering other auspicious rui, of course, there is no essential difference between the book of heaven and other auspicious rui, so later generations called the turmoil caused by the book of heaven for several years as the "book of heaven movement".

The reason why Kou Zhun was demoted at the beginning was because he opposed Zhao Heng's Tianshu movement, and he also scoffed at the so-called Tianshu, but he didn't expect that he would end up learning from Wang Qinruo and presenting the so-called "Tianshu" to Zhao Heng.

"Doesn't it feel strange, with Kou Xiang's character, why did he end up losing his reputation and losing his reputation?" At this time, Lu Wu asked Li Zhang again.

"It's really strange, although I haven't seen Kou Xiang, but judging from what I've heard about his deeds, this person should be a person who would rather bend than bend, how could there be such a big change before and after?" Li Zhang also said with doubts on his face at this time, he really didn't expect Kou Zhun to do such a thing.

"Yes, at the beginning, because of Kou Xiang's dedication to the book of heaven, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the government, but His Majesty was very happy, and soon recalled him to the capital and reappointed him as the prime minister. Lu Wu sighed and said again.

"This ...... It's a bit bizarre, and I'm afraid I'd guess it would. Li Zhang immediately couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, after all, people change, and no one is sure what kind of psychology Kou Zhun had at that time?

"However, at that time, there were still some people who speculated that the reason why Kou Xiang presented the Book of Heaven may have another intention." At this time, I saw Lu Wu suddenly speak again.

"Oh? What is the purpose? Li Zhang asked eagerly again when he heard this.

"In fact, His Majesty's health was already very bad at that time, so most of the government affairs were handed over to the queen to deal with, the prime minister of the year was headed by Wang Qinruo, and Wang Qinruo was also looking forward to the queen, it can be said that the power in the hands of the queen at that time was becoming more and more stable, but at this time, His Majesty suddenly found a reason to remove Wang Qinruo, and Kou Xiang also took the initiative to send a letter from heaven at this time, so he was transferred back to the capital to be the prime minister again, so some people speculated at that time that His Majesty may have let Kou Zhun contain the queen, so as not to let her monopolize power!" Lu Wu finally said the reason at this time.

"I see!" Li Zhang also gasped when he heard this, sure enough, no one who can be an emperor is easy to match, who would have thought that Zhao Heng, who was crazy before, would have such a deep city? Of course, the most admirable thing is Kou Zhun, for the stability of the imperial court, he didn't even want the reputation of a scholar as a life, and his act of offering the Book of Heaven was probably discussed with Zhao Heng before.

"At that time, it was just someone else's speculation, but judging from His Majesty's deathbed words, this matter is likely to be true, but it is a pity that not long after Kou Xiang came back, he was involved in the case of Zhou Huaizheng's rebellion, coupled with the exclusion of the queen and Ding Wei, he was soon driven out of the court again, and because Ding Wei made a ghost from it, it made Kou Xiang depreciate again and again, and it is estimated that it is impossible to come back again in this life." When Lu Wu said the end, his face also showed a little melancholy, although he and Kou Zhun had no friendship, they also admired each other's personality very much, in fact, not only him, but also the government and the opposition were quite sympathetic to Kou Zhun's experience.

"I didn't expect there to be such a secret in it, but from His Majesty's deathbed words, it can be known that His Majesty still changed his mind and pinned all his hopes on the queen, it is estimated that in His Majesty's opinion, the queen is his wife after all, and she is more trustworthy than those ministers outside." Li Zhang spoke again at this time, I have to say that Zhao Heng's vision is not bad, Liu E in history did not live up to his entrustment, although he refused to return to Zhao Zhen before his death, but at least he did not usurp the throne and become the emperor.

"Yes, Kou Xiang's talent, prestige, and qualifications are unmatched, and his loyalty to the court is also unmatched, but his personality is too tough, and sometimes he is a little arbitrary, so not only does the queen dislike him, but His Majesty also has scruples about him." At the mention of Kou Zhun, Lu Wu also sighed again.

"By the way, Your Majesty is dead, the Queen...... No, she should be called the Queen Mother now, she must be under a lot of pressure, right? Lu Wu hesitated for a moment at this time, and suddenly asked Li Zhang again.

"Yes, except for the day the crown prince ascended the throne, I haven't seen the emperor again...... Dowager. "I was used to it before, and Li Zhang was a little difficult to change his words for a while, but on the second day of Zhao Heng's death, Zhao Zhen ascended the throne as the emperor, and Liu E also became the queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Zhen, the emperor, is still in name only, and all the power is in the hands of Liu E.

"She's still that kind of character, she likes to do everything herself, but how can she manage such a big thing as the country?" Lu Wu was also a little angry at the moment.

When Li Zhang heard this, he immediately understood what Lu Wu meant, and said with a smile at the moment: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, the next time I see the Queen Mother, I will definitely persuade her to take a good rest, but it really doesn't work and the prince...... No, it's Your Majesty, let Your Majesty persuade her more, she will definitely listen! ”

Zhao Zhen has ascended the throne as the emperor, but Li Zhang has never felt anything when he was in the palace before, and even Zhao Zhen is still living in Jingfu Palace, but it was not until now that he suddenly realized that his little cousin was already the king of a country, and he even had to change his title, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

"Your Majesty has ascended the throne, although you are too ...... His Majesty's cousin, but you should also pay attention to getting along in the future, and don't be caught. Lu Wu also thought of this at this time, and immediately opened his mouth again to admonish, but even he was not used to it, and almost called Zhao Zhen the prince again.

"I know, Uncle Wu, don't worry!" Li Zhang nodded at this time and said, as the so-called "companion is like accompanying the tiger", Zhao Zhen's tiger is okay, at least Li Zhang doesn't have to worry about him now, but the tiger is surrounded by a group of hungry wolves, all thinking about taking advantage of Zhao Zhen's young age to lay an emotional foundation with him, and as the closest person to Zhao Zhen, if someone is jealous of Li Zhang, God knows what will happen?

It was not early, Li Zhang and Lu Wu chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and left, ready to go back to his yard to rest, but just when he was about to come to his yard, he suddenly saw Li Yonghe walking over from the side, and when he saw him, he also smiled and said: "Da Lang, you have worked hard in the palace these days, did you go to Brother Wu just now?" ”

"Well, I have something to talk to Uncle Wu about." Li Zhang nodded and said, but he also wondered why Li Yonghe suddenly stopped him, although the relationship between their father and son has eased, it is still very cold, mainly because Li Zhang is not close to him, so the two rarely have any conversation at home.

"That...... This ......" I saw that Li Yonghe suddenly became spitting at this time, and after a while, I saw him gritting his teeth and saying, "You have been staying in the palace during this time, have you ever seen His Majesty's other concubines?" ”
