Chapter 8 The New Year's Family Banquet The government and the opposition are shaken
The first day of the first lunar month of the 57th year of Zhaode, the beginning of the year.
The Great Song Dynasty Palace is full of lights, so lively, and there is a joyful atmosphere everywhere. Dressed in new clothes, the maids of the palace went in and out of the Xuanshi Palace, and the long tables in the hall were full of delicate food.
Song Zhaozong, who was sitting in the first place, said happily to the person on the right: "In the past 20 years, how many Spring Festivals have passed, how many family banquets have been held, only this time you are here, haha." I'm happy today, and I don't have to be formal. Family feast, family feast. ”
Zhao Cheng, who was dressed in purple, looked at his father, who was over seventy years old, and said softly: "Drink less, you are not in good health." ”
Song Zhaozong smiled, and was just about to speak, when the queen on the left glared at Zhao Cheng, and said reproachfully, "I know that your father is not in good health, and he hasn't come to see it all these years, what a white-eyed wolf!"
"Mother, Queen Mother, I'm not back. Knowing that A-Niang was still worried about going to Wudang for herself, Zhao Cheng smiled and went straight to his mother's plate to pick up vegetables.
"Hmph. ”
Seeing that the queen snorted and stopped talking, Song Zhaozong sighed: "Look at your two nephews, they have already married their own sons, look at you again, when will you wait?"
Zhao Cheng looked at the two nephews and the family members next to him pointed to by Song Zhaozong, and said with a smile: "It's also my uncle's fault, I didn't catch up with your marriage and have children, and I will make up for it later, haha." ”
When the two emperors and grandsons heard this, they got up and saluted, "Uncle Xie Huang." ”
They are the late second son of Song Zhaozong, that is, the son of Zhao Cheng's eldest brother and second brother. When Zhao Cheng left Beijing that year, they had already grown up and remembered, so in the past 20 years, they naturally knew that there was an imperial uncle who left Beijing. I also know that this imperial uncle sat on the throne of the crown prince back then, although he has pushed the crown prince and has traveled abroad for many years, but it is also a threat to them.
In recent years, the position of the crown prince has been vacant, and the crown prince has not been established for a long time, but the old emperor's health is getting worse and worse. At this time, Uncle Huang came back, and they were naturally dissatisfied. But in the royal family, it would be strange if there were no cities, so the two emperors Sun Ming were respectful to this long-time imperial uncle.
"It's all said to be a family banquet, so you don't have to be formal. After Song Zhaozong finished talking about the two grandsons, he looked at Zhao Cheng, who changed the topic, "Think about it yourself." ”
Zhao Cheng patted the back of Zhaozong's hand and said with a smile: "I know Dad, hurry up and eat vegetables, don't be cold." ”
"Alas......" sighed, Zhaozong stopped talking, and ate wholeheartedly, and there was no more words during the banquet.
After eating for an hour, the meal was finished. The two emperors and grandsons retired first, and Zhaozong and Zhao Cheng branched out to enter the imperial study.
"Have you figured it out?"
Facing his father's inquiry, Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "I have thought about it, and I have prepared it." ”
"It's up to you. In the end, it is also a good thing to be with the country and the people. ”
Zhao Cheng stood aside and said nothing.
Song Zhaozong was silent for a moment, and then said, "What do you think of those two children? ”
"They......" Zhao Cheng thought for a while, "It's okay, the two of them are almost the same, but the child that the eldest nephew brought today is somewhat interesting, and he may be a famous monarch in the future." ”
Thinking of his great-grandson, Song Zhaozong smiled and said, "That kid is extraordinary, like you." ”
Zhao Cheng smiled and didn't answer.
"Then make the eldest grandson the prince. Song Zhaozong made a decision, "But the second child's child will not be reconciled, I am only afraid of ...... after a hundred years."
Zhao Cheng took over the conversation, "It's okay to have me." ”
Song Zhaozong listened, nodded, didn't speak, and walked to the garden to relax with Zhao Cheng's support.
At this time, in the territory of Datang, a blind-eyed hexagram man sat paralyzed on a piece of broken vessel, and muttered in his mouth: "Ziwei moves south, and the Song Kingdom ......"
The festive days pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year is over. Just after the New Year, the Song dynasty and the opposition experienced an earthquake, and the Song Emperor canonized the great emperor Sun Han as the prince.
When I first heard the news, the government and the opposition were shaken, and some people were happy and some were worried. The party of the Great Emperor Sun Han and his party celebrated with a crown and was in high spirits, while the party of the second emperor Sun Yu and his party were sad all day long.
"How is this good?" said several senior officials of the DPRK and China in a secret room.
"In the future, the King of Han will succeed to the throne, and I am afraid that we will be liquidated. An official said bitterly.
"Alas......"
“......”
With a sigh, the door of the house was pushed open, and a person walked in and said with a smile: "The victory or defeat is still unknown, why are you colleagues worried?"
"What do you mean by that?" someone asked.
“......”
“......”
After some conversation, everyone dispersed, and the anxiety on their faces was reduced a lot.
The man who opened the door waited for everyone to leave, walked on the chair, and fell into deep thought with his hand under his forehead.
An hour ago, the Yuwang Mansion.
The room was in a mess, and King Yu sat on the only chair that was still intact, looked at the military department in front of him, and said astringently: "What else is Lord Yang doing here?" In the current situation, you better stay away from me, so that he may let you go." ”
Yang Qi's face sank, "Yang never thought that King Yu would be so unbearable when he encountered a decline, which was really disappointing to us!"
"Otherwise, what?" The position of the prince is certain, the king of Chongqing has gone, and there is no longer any fighting spirit under the discouragement.
Yang Qi took a step forward and grabbed the collar of King Yu's coat, "What's the matter? It's a big deal! You look like this now, are you waiting for yourself to be confined to death like a dog in the future? ”
Over the years, the King of Yu and the King of Han have been fighting openly and secretly, and the brotherhood of childhood has long been worn out.
"What opportunity, where is the opportunity?!" King Yu hurriedly said.
Yang Qi let go of his palm, and said to the excited King Yu in front of him: "Slowly Tuzhi, wait for Emperor Song to ......"
After hearing this, King Yu stared at the face that made him feel unfamiliar in a daze, and without saying a word, he and Yang Qi looked at each other silently.
"Okay! That's it!" King Yu's face was hideous, and there was a faint wisp of black gas in his eyes.
In the palace of the King of Han, the great emperor Sun was chatting with his wife, and there was no one around.
On the bed, King Han, who had finished dealing with the people who came and went to celebrate, turned his head to look at his wife on his back, and smiled, "Now that the overall situation has been decided, you don't have to worry about it all day long." ”
Princess Han has also been worried and worried over the years, and she is often uneasy because of the rivalry between the two kings, afraid that her husband will suffer a big loss and lose to the king of Yu, and then her family will have nowhere to live in the Song Kingdom.
The marriage of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is not reborn, and the background is innocent. Therefore, the King of Han and the Princess of Han were in love with each other back then, and the Song Emperor did not make it difficult for the Princess of Han, who was a small merchant and a small household, and readily agreed to their marriage. After marriage, the relationship between the two has been harmonious, and they gave birth to a little emperor and grandson three years after they got married, but the princess of Han, who was born in a small people, became more and more fierce as the party struggle became more and more intense, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.
The people compete for family property, and the loser loses his money, but he can ...... in the royal family If his husband ascends to the great treasure, with his temper, the king of Chongqing may be able to save his life, but if the king of Chongqing wins, with the heart of the king of Chongqing, his family may not be able to save his life.
Princess Han, who had finally settled down after many years, asked: "You two have always been equally divided above the court, why is the emperor ...... now?"
"I don't know, but it's a good thing, so relax. After that, King Han closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Princess Han looked at the slightly hooked corners of her husband's mouth, smiled, slowly lay down and snuggled in King Han's arms, closed her eyes and felt the tranquility at the moment.
