No. 256 Pre-dinner snack
Shi Deyi deliberately made a time difference, and the people sent out went to pick up Zhao Mi, the prince of Yiguo, and the two princesses first.
Cai Dao and he both thought that the two princesses arrived first, but what no one expected was that the person who arrived first was Zhao Mi, the Duke of Yiguo. He was supported by his personal little eunuch to the Qinzheng Palace.
"Brother Crown Prince, are you here too? Why are you crying, is your father okay? Although Zhao Mi was blind, he could hear the sound of Zhao Maid sobbing and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, my father is fine, but he's a little tired and resting. Lone is just a few grains of sand blown into his eyes by the wind for a while, how can he cry when he is such a big person? When Zhao Yu saw Zhao Mi, he didn't have any other thoughts, endured the pain in his heart, stepped forward and grabbed this younger brother's little hand, and pulled him to the front of the collapse.
But Shi Deyi was guilty of suspicion again, and said in his heart, the person who is farthest away can come so quickly, you Luo Guo is not honest! Could it be that he still has any other thoughts, so he asked his subordinates to follow him closely behind him, and then rushed over.
"Gonggong Shi, aren't you doing something crooked in your book?" As soon as Cai Dao saw the way he looked at him, he knew that this matter must have aroused the suspicion of this old turtle, so he asked bluntly.
Shi De arched his hand and said, "The slave doesn't dare, it's just that the Duke of Yi Guo came a little too timely!" He said he didn't dare, but there was a thorn in his words.
"Gonggong Shi, it was Mr. Zeng who guessed that there was something in the palace, and after Daochang Cai left, he ordered someone to prepare a carriage to send me into the palace, and he met General Di halfway through." Zhao Mi's ears are spirits, and the conversation between Cai Dao and Shi Deyi was already very quiet, but he still heard it, so he explained for Cai Dao.
Hearing the reason for the matter, Cai Dao didn't continue to say anything, but Shi Deyi was suddenly surprised, it seems that he and the crown prince Zhao were still careless. It's really not a good idea to send Dean to pick up Cai Dao into the palace. An old master who has not been an official for a long time can guess that there is a change in the palace, and presumably those old foxes in the court must have guessed something from this move.
"By the way, Gonggong Shi, while the big guys haven't arrived yet, you immediately send someone to clean up the official family's bedroom, there is no place for the princes and princesses to rest. At that time, if neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager objected, the official family could be transported back to his dormitory immediately. It's still too cold outside. Cai Dao reminded again.
Because Cai Dao found that there was only Song Shenzong alone resting in the Qinzheng Palace, and it was okay for the others to stay here, but if these four children stayed here, they would be punished.
Shi Deyi slapped his forehead violently when he heard this, and said in his heart, his performance today is really substandard, and such an important thing can be forgotten. The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has always been frugal, and just listening to the name of the Qinzheng Palace, you can clearly understand that this is not the best place for patients to recuperate. As soon as he had gone out to give orders to his men, he saw a large crowd rushing towards him.
The first to arrive was of course the people in the harem, and the building near the water was the first to get the moon, not to mention, the Empress Dowager Gao and the Empress Dowager Xiang had already gotten the news, and they planned to wait until the palace gate was locked, and then go to Shi De Yixing to ask for guilt.
However, what they didn't expect was that not long after Cai Dao entered, someone came to report, Shi De started to connect everywhere, and also sent someone to report to them. However, this person was the last person to come out of Shi Deyi's arrangement.
At this time, Gao Tao's determination was shown, she first sent someone to urgently recruit Sima Guang who was waiting outside the palace gate, and then she hurried to the Qinzheng Hall with Empress Xiang.
Sima Guang and the two princesses were the second batch to arrive, and they entered the hall together, and the Empress Dowager Gao frowned when she saw it, and asked sharply, "Who let you come?" ”
The two princesses were also obedient, they didn't say anything, they trotted to Song Shenzong's side with their heads down, and one of them held their father's hand, but they didn't dare to cry, so they could only sobbed silently.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Gao's rebuke is like a punch from a boxer, no matter how strong the boxer is, if he hits an empty place, the result will be in vain.
Is it wrong for a daughter to care about her father and come to visit?
If there is really something wrong, Cai Dao really dares to stand up and scold these two old cultivators.
A few people were relatively speechless, and the scene was cold for a few minutes, but it was just a few minutes that delayed their big event. Because, Wang Qi, Cai Qu, Zhang Dun and the other three prime ministers have already entered the Qinzheng Palace.
Now it's good, the two factions gathered in the Qinzheng Palace, and the Empress Dowager Gao had the intention to take advantage of Song Shenzong's serious illness to seize power. However, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty was very worshipful, and although Song Shenzong could not speak, he was still alive. Then, even Wang Jue, the prime minister of the Three Decrees, would definitely not allow the situation of the harem ruling to appear immediately at this moment.
Neither of the two sides was willing to speak first, Shi Deyi took advantage of this moment and said: "Queen Mother, ministers, the Qinzheng Palace is not suitable for Your Majesty to recuperate, it is better to send Your Majesty back to his bedroom after asking the imperial doctors." There, the slave and maid have already sent someone to put things in order. ”
"Good! Shi Deyi, today, you did a very good job. Empress Dowager Gao said hatefully.
In fact, Cai Dao came up with this idea, which was a little better, but it did not benefit Shi Deyi in the slightest, because he didn't seem to offend anyone by doing this, but he still offended everyone. It is simply impossible to curry favor with two forces that are incompatible.
So, after asking a few experienced imperial doctors, Song Shenzong was immediately transferred to his dormitory, and his four children naturally did not leave his side an inch.
After arriving at the dormitory, Zhang Dun was an anxious man, and he took the lead in asking: "Gonggong Shi, does Your Majesty have a will to stay?" ”
"This, the slave maid still really doesn't know, Your Majesty is sick too quickly. There was simply no time in time. Shi Deyi replied honestly.
Because of the importance of the matter, Cai Dao told Shi Deyi that the more at this time, the more he should focus on stabilizing the word, try his best to seek truth from facts in everything he does and speak, don't add oil and vinegar, and don't tell any lies. If someone grabs their tails, they will lose their own lives!
"When did Your Majesty become ill?" Sima Guang asked a question that was very important and could ask for a small picture.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen is a thousand years old, the slave deserves death!" Shi Deyi began to act according to the script that Cai Dao taught him.
At this time, of course, you can't tell the truth, you said that the official family asked you to block the news, but Song Shenzong is now speechless, half of his body can't move, and it's impossible to write. Push this matter on Zhao Maid, don't care if this kid will take this account or not, will the Queen Mother and Queen Mother listen?
Therefore, Shi Deyi could only confess his guilt first, and then talk nonsense before he could save his life, only to hear him say: "This matter is indeed a slave and maid deserves death." After the official family saw the twist, he fainted all of a sudden, and the slave and maid were about to die of fright, so they only cared about asking for a royal doctor. When the imperial doctors were helpless, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposed to recruit this kid into the palace, and the slave maid was also dizzy and did so. At this point, when the matter was finished, he kowtowed three times, and there was already a red on his forehead.
"What a slave and maid deserve death! The slave should be reported to the Queen Mother and the Queen as soon as possible, as well as the ministers, long live the slave and maid's crime! ”
"Boom!" After three more heavy blows, Shi Deyi lived for most of the day, and he still didn't say when Song Shenzong fell ill.
However, Sima Guang knew that his strategy had failed, and it was already very difficult to use this reason to cure Shi Deyi's sin.
A slave maid, the master fell ill and fainted, panicked for a while, and did things upside down, besides, there is Zhao Maid here, it is understandable! If you say the great heavens, what kind of mouth can you cure him?
Empress Dowager Gao didn't want to go around in circles anymore, so she asked bluntly: "Since this is the case, all the Aiqing are here, and the mourning family is here to ask you, what should you do next?" ”
