"Your Majesty, the King of Chu asks to see you!"

Song Huizong was stunned for a moment and said, "Let him in!" ”

When the eunuch got the emperor's will, he immediately bowed down, and then walked outside the hall and brought Zhao Yougong into the main hall.

"The minister has seen the emperor!"

Song Huizong asked: "Didn't you go back to your house after retiring from the court, why did you come back again?" ”

"Minister......" Zhao Yougong wanted to speak bluntly, but he looked at the eunuchs around him and stopped talking.

"Stand down, all of you!" When Song Huizong saw him like this, he guessed his thoughts and retreated.

"Emperor Qiqi, after the minister retired from the court, he did not return to the house, but went to the ninth brother's house and met with him!" Song Huizong looked at the music lightly, indifferent, but his ears heard it clearly, Zhao Yougong saw that Song Huizong did not interrupt him, so he continued: "It is not Weichen who is in the Ninth Brother's Mansion, and Pan Lianggui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, must have been invited by the Ninth Brother to come to the mansion. ”

"Oh! What is Pan Shangshu going to do? At this time, Song Huizong raised his head, he was also a little surprised, if other people went to Zhao Gou's mansion, he would not be surprised. After all, his friendship with Zhao Gou was there, and he didn't make a holy decree that he was not allowed to visit.

Some time ago, Zhao Gou was demoted to a commoner, and Song Huizong knew that everyone wanted to go and see the situation. It's just that Zhao Gou soon disappeared, which made everyone startled. Now that Zhao Gou finally appeared, how could they miss this opportunity.

"The ninth brother wants Lord Shangshu to officiate the wedding for him!" Zhao Yougong said word by word, and he was afraid that Song Huizong would not hear it clearly, so he repeated it again, "The ninth brother is getting married!" ”

"What? Big Wedding! Song Huizong had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but Zhao Gou's wedding made him a little confused, he had never heard of this matter, and he didn't pay attention to it these days, so he really didn't know.

However, Zhao Yougong's words didn't seem to be fake, Song Huizong secretly felt guilty, he was the one who was looking forward to Zhao Go's wedding. Now that Zhao Gou is getting married, he has forgotten about his father.

"Master Pan agreed?"

"Nope!" Zhao Yougong replied truthfully, "Lord Shangshu is the pillar of the country, and the ninth brother is just a common man. If Lord Shangshu is allowed to preside over the wedding and become a witness, I am afraid that there will be discussions in the court, and besides, it is contrary to the law, and Lord Shangshu politely refused. ”

"Why did he refuse?" Song Huizong said angrily, "This Pan Lianggui is really bold, if Gou'er asks him to get married, he will go to ask for marriage, why do you want to refuse, who will preside over this Gou'er's marriage?" When will the marriage take place? ”

Zhao Yougong didn't interject from beginning to end, until Song Huizong said what was in his heart in a hurry, and he guessed that the emperor still cared about Zhao Gou, but he couldn't save face, so he kept holding back. Now that Zhao Gou is getting married, how does Song Huizong not like it, how not to worry.

Half a month later, that is, the day when the ninth brother turned sixteen. As for who it is, the ninth brother must have his own plans. The corners of Zhao Yougong's mouth rose slightly, but his face was a little disappointed.

"Have a plan?" Song Huizong said angrily, "Who in the Great Song Dynasty today still has this qualification to be comparable to Pan Lianggui?" ”

"Weichen also said that Lord Shangshu, but Lord Shangshu is a law-abiding person, so he doesn't dare to agree rashly." Zhao Yougong spoke up again, "It's really difficult for Weichen to convince Lord Shangshu, but Lord Shangshu also said that the ninth brother has no official title and no honor, which is against the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"What bullshit!" Song Huizong roared angrily, "My emperor is married, what other officials and meritorious deeds do you need, he is the prince, my son, this is enough." Passing on my will, Zhao formed a marriage presided over by Pan Lianggui. ”

"Weichen thanked the emperor for the ninth brother!" Zhao Yougong was overjoyed, what he wanted was this sentence, and then he said: "Now that the ninth brother is a commoner, then his marriage is according to the royal etiquette, or the people's etiquette?" ”

"What's the difference?" Song Huizong didn't seem to know that he had fallen into Zhao Yougong's trap, and still followed Zhao Yougong's train of thought, but he really didn't know about this matter.

"Of course there is a difference!" Zhao Yougong said loudly, "The people's wedding is just relatives and friends coming to congratulate and send congratulatory gifts, which is relatively deserted; If it is a royal wedding, it will naturally be grand, and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government can participate in it, which is really to promote the majesty of the children of the Zhao family. ”

"Since this is the case, it is naturally according to the royal etiquette!" Song Huizong said directly, "Passing on my will, Zhao Gou's marriage will be handled by Pan Lianggui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and all specifications will be handled in accordance with the prince's etiquette." If there is any difference, Pan Lianggui bears all the responsibility. ”

"Weichen thanked the emperor for the ninth brother!" Zhao Yougong thanked him again and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has a matter to inquire about, I don't know if the ninth brother is married, if the emperor doesn't go, I don't know if there are any gifts?" If the emperor has a gift delivered, the ninth brother must be very happy, but it's a pity that the emperor can't be there in person! ……”

"Naturally, it will ......" Zhao Yougong said it in a similar way, with a regretful expression on his face, which made Song Huizong subconsciously say, but afterwards he remembered that some things could not be pointed out, so he stopped abruptly, which made Zhao Yougong wait impatiently without any response, which inevitably made him a little disappointed.

In fact, what Zhao Yougong wants to know most is this, if the emperor goes in person, then everything will be easy to say. Zhao Gou's wedding, the emperor came in person, which means that he did not really fall out of favor. Zhao Gou was demoted to a commoner, but he was just worried that his merits would be high, which was the emperor's trade-off.

If Zhao Gou got married, and the emperor didn't have any gifts, and he didn't come in person, then it means that he really fell out of favor. Zhao Gou has completely become a common man, and it is difficult to have a chance to turn over. Even if Zhao Gou has the heart to do his best for the Great Song Dynasty, he is not powerless.

"Are you talking about me?" Song Huizong stared at Zhao Yougong intently, which made him a little embarrassed.

Zhao Yougong's mind was ruthlessly broken by Song Huizong, but who is Zhao Yougong, he pretended to be fine, but his eyes didn't dare to look at Song Huizong.

"You have no jokes!" Song Huizong said lightly, "Since I have made an order, then you can go down and pass the decree!" ”

Zhao Yougong accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous. Now that we have gotten the news, it's enough. If you are not greedy enough and want to know something, it is greedy and chewy, and it is even counterproductive, so Zhao Yougong got up and retreated.

After Zhao Yougong left, Song Huizong put down the piece in his hand, smiled knowingly, and muttered to himself: "Do you really think that I don't know your mind?" ”

Zhao Yougong's tricks, not to mention how clever they are. However, Song Huizong is the king of a country, he has already seen everything and knows Zhao Yougong's thoughts. It's just that he didn't break it, everything went according to Zhao Yougong's words. After all, the matter of Zhao Gou's wedding is the most important, as long as he thinks that Zhao Gou is really married, Song Huizong can't help but laugh, because his wish has come true.
