Chapter 823: Collapse

It was only in the afternoon, the forbidden door of the palace suddenly closed, the guards suddenly tripled, and there were patrols everywhere, and the aura of murder made people shudder.

The palace gate has always had rules, when it should be opened, it will never be closed, and when it should be closed, it will never be opened.

Not long ago, because of Wang Ning'an's assassination, the palace gate had to be opened at night, and that time there was a lot of trouble, especially Wang Ning'an opened the city gate without authorization and arrested the gatekeeper.

Although the city gate is not as good as the palace gate, Wang Ningan was also punished, and half a year's salary was exempted. Although the money is not much, it is enough for Wang Ning'an.

This time the situation was the opposite, the palace gate was closed early, and it was heavily guarded, and everyone had bad thoughts.

Since last year, Zhao Zhen's health has not been good, and after the winter, he has been sick several times, and everyone knows it. The old emperor may not have lasted long, but the winter has passed, the spring is blooming, and the yang energy is rising, so it stands to reason that there should be no problems, so how could he suddenly fall ill?

Some people muttered in their hearts, but the emperor was seriously ill, and such a big event, who would dare to ignore it. The entire capital immediately moved, not only the officialdom, but also countless pairs of eyes in the dark, also staring at the palace.

For example, there is a thin old man, his face is full of beard, his eyes like an eagle are deep and sharp, these eyes are full of strange feelings, ordinary people dare not look at him at all, if you look at it for a long time, you even have the urge to kneel down and bow down.

This person is the elder from Eagle Castle, the confidant of the old man in the mountain.

Musavi was just a lowly slave in front of him.

Since the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and the Seljuks, the pressure on the Eagle Castle has increased sharply, Maliksha returned to the Seljuks, he told his father everything he saw and heard, and the two talked for three days and three nights, Maliksha presented the books he brought from the Great Song Dynasty to his father, and enthusiastically introduced the various systems of the Great Song Dynasty, he thought that if the Seljuks wanted to have long-term peace and stability, they must learn the civil system of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, for Eagle Castle, there must be no appeasement!

Seljuk's attitude changed, and as the owner of Eagle Castle, the old man in the mountain naturally noticed that his students changed their faces when they went to the Great Song Dynasty.

Huo Shan had no choice but to send the wisest elder to the Great Song Dynasty to observe this powerful empire and find out the details.

The old man looked at the direction of the palace, although he had only been in the Great Song Dynasty for a month, he already knew that the master of this empire was an old emperor who had been in office for 42 years, and he was deeply loved and respected by his subjects.

According to experience, usually an empire, when a strong emperor dies, it will face chaos, the emperor's son will fight for power, and his civil and military forces will make waves.

Some will make trouble for a long time, and some will even tear the empire apart and be directly wiped out by the enemy.

In Persia, in the Great Eclipse, this is innumerable.

Perhaps the gods were jealous of the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty and wanted to take the great emperor away and plunge the country into a civil strife that fell apart. Hurry up! It's a mess!

Only if you are in chaos, the Eagle Castle will have a chance, Mount Alamut is too small, and the splendor of God needs to shine on the whole East!

Like this elder, there are many people who look forward to chaos in the Great Song Dynasty.

But it has to be said that they are going to be disappointed again.

Zhao Zhen had already started to lay out, although he fell ill suddenly, but the whole situation was almost completed.

Especially after Wang Ning'an entered the main political hall, all the original disturbances were suppressed, and no one dared to add chaos at this time, on the contrary, the officials from top to bottom were extra careful and careful, and if something went wrong at this juncture, there was no place to avenge their heads!

The whole Luoyang, tense and orderly.

Wang Ning'an and Prime Minister Ouyang Xiu came to the palace gate together, and they had just received a holy decree to let them enter the palace to visit.

"Alas, Erlang, you must have been prepared, and the old man won't have to salivate, as courtiers, we must let the saint go with peace of mind, and we must show courage to preside over the overall situation and put an end to the petty people!"

Wang Ning'an bowed, "Please rest assured." ”

The two men handed over the sign and, according to the rules, entered the palace.

Unlike usual, it seems that a large number of eunuchs and guards have come out of the ground, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, all with grim faces, as if facing a great enemy.

Wang Ning'an and Ouyang Xiu came to the door of the dormitory, and Zhao Shu got the news and was already waiting.

"Your Highness, how is the saint's body?"

Zhao Shu sighed mournfully, his face ugly.

"My father was fine, I accompanied him to the imperial city to see the scenery, and my father also said that he wanted to drink donkey broth, who knows, as soon as the soup was bought, my father fainted!" Zhao Shu said desolately: "Imperial Doctor Qian has already gone in to ask my father for a pulse, I'm afraid that my father will have a hard time." ”

Zhao Shu explained the situation, Wang Ningan and Ouyang Xiu both raised their hearts, obviously, the situation was not good.

They waited for a while, and Qian Yi came out of it, his brow locked into a pimple.

Seeing Wang Ning'an, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head again.

"The saint is awake!"

"Ahh

Zhao Shu hurriedly asked, "Mr. Qian, is my father okay?" ”

Qian Yi didn't answer immediately, but shook his head. At this moment, tears flowed from the corners of Zhao Shu's eyes, after all, he was just a teenager, and his father, who had been taking care of him, was leaving, and the sky was falling.

Wang Ningan patted the back of Zhao Shu's hand and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let's listen to Imperial Doctor Qian's words!" ”

Zhao Shu hurriedly wiped his tears.

"Mr. Qian, my father is ...... Can it still hold ...... How long? ”

"It's hard to say, maybe a day, maybe ten days, maybe half a month...... But the dragon's body is too weak, even if it ...... It makes no difference. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shu's body shook and almost fell, Wang Ningan immediately held on, and he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Qian, what does the sage have to explain?" ”

"Yes, the saint asked the prince to go in immediately."

Wang Ningan was stunned for a moment, "It's just me?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Okay, Your Highness, drunkard, you wait first."

Wang Ningan stepped directly into the dormitory, in fact, the moment he walked in, he had already guessed what Zhao Zhen wanted to say. So Wang Ningan hurried to the front of the dragon bed, bent down and grabbed Zhao Zhen's arm, at this moment, Zhao Zhen's cloudy eyes moved, he opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

Wang Ningan immediately leaned into Zhao Zhen's ear and resisted the urge to cry.

"Your Majesty, the minister promised His Majesty last time, there is no intention of repentance, the minister will try his best to assist His Highness, prosperous Song Dynasty, if the mouth is not right, I am willing to thunder in the sky, and ten thousand arrows pierce the heart!"

After Zhao Zhen listened, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and he nodded slightly.

"I ...... Father and son, what a ...... How lucky, can, can get, Jingping assists! ”

A simple sentence has consumed most of Zhao Zhen's strength, Wang Ningan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is going to invite the prince, Your Majesty will save your strength and tell His Royal Highness the prince." ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Ningan withdrew.

Zhao Shu went in to serve his father again, and Wang Ningan sat quietly outside the hall.

Frankly speaking, over the years, he has not seen life and death.

For example, when she folded the old lady, she was 100 years old, lying on her husband's bones, smiling at Jiuquan; For example, the benevolent Fan Zhongyan, who worked hard all his life, all for the Great Song Dynasty and the common people; For example, Bao Zheng is honest and self-controlled, making people throw themselves to the ground, even including Han Qi, before he died, his conscience found that there were too many, too many people, and he could hardly count them.

Wang Ningan felt that he had cultivated an iron heart, and there would be no more fluctuations.

But I have to say that when he saw Zhao Zhen's description of withering and lifeless, Wang Ningan's heart seemed to be pricked, it hurt, it hurt!

Human feelings come out.

For so many years, Zhao Zhen has promoted, reused, regarded him as a nephew, gave him a broad stage, and let him gallop...... As a powerful minister, he has done his best.

Over the years, Zhao Zhen has not restricted Wang Ning'an, but Uncle Zhao has always treated each other with sincerity, and has not manipulated his subordinates at will like those faint monarchs who are drunk with the emperor's arts, and even takes pleasure in torturing his courtiers.

If it is said that the disagreement between the monarchs and ministers, I am afraid that after the Battle of Hengshan, three Qin chasers were dispatched, which caused chaos in the northwest, and then Zhao Zhen reflected on his mistakes, and even crowned the king of Ning'an Xiliang and gave him a fief of thousands of miles.

With such generous treatment, Wang Ningan also has nothing to say, except for being moved, he is moved.

Until some time ago, Zhao Zhen entrusted the political hall to him and handed over the crown prince to him.

This trust is comparable to that of the White Emperor City, Liu Beituo and Zhuge Liang, and even much more.

Your Majesty has not failed me, and I will not fail Your Majesty.

Wang Ningan clenched his fists, he had promised Zhao Zhen that he would definitely do it.

At this time, Zhao Shu came out again, with tears on his face, obviously he had just cried, he walked directly in front of Wang Ning'an, his face full of disbelief!

"Master, you, how could you agree to that kind of condition, disciples, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they can't do without you!"

As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Xiu next to him was frightened, and said in his heart Wang Erlang, what kind of trick did you play with Your Majesty, and what did you promise?

Zhao Shu gritted his teeth, almost pleading, "Father just said, he, he is willing to take it back, Master, you, can you take it back too?" ”

Wang Ningan smiled faintly, "Your Highness, the minister is always the courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter what position he is, he will not change." As for what I promised Your Majesty, it is not a restriction, on the contrary, a protection! Master didn't want to sit in one position and get sores on his buttocks, which would make everyone spurn. The world is so big, Master still wants to experience it, Your Highness, you are not allowed to harm me! ”

Zhao Shu pouted, and said angrily: "Master, you are too cunning, wait, wait for the future, the disciple will also abdicate, and then look around!" ”

Listening to the words of this master and apprentice, Ouyang Xiu was a little confused.

"Erlang, Your Highness, can you explain it clearly! What are the conditions, let me listen to them too, and be a witness for you! ”

Wang Ningan and Zhao Shu glanced at each other, and then rejected the drunkard in unison.

"You're old, let's continue to get drunk!"

Three days later, Zhao Zhen died in Da Nei with a smile, and the whole country mourned......
