"Ahh

As soon as he turned to the royal street, Song Yongchen let out a soft shout.

Facing a group of people, they were speeding towards the Xuande Gate due north.

"It's Zhangzihou."

Identifying his identity, Han Gang flicked his whip and immediately rushed up, but he didn't say much to Song Yongchen. This celebrity next to Empress Taishang sounds like he doesn't want to bump into other Zaifu.

At the same time, Zhang Dian discovered Han Gang and slowed down.

"Brother Zihou."

"Yukun."

After greeting each other head-on, Han Gang and Zhang Dian formed a team and walked on the royal street.

His eyes swept over Zhang Dian's side, and the chamberlain who followed Zhang Dian's side was the person next to Empress Xiang, but it was not a big mink like Song Yongchen, just a small yellow door.

I see.

At the same time, Zhang Dian withdrew his gaze from Song Yongchen and threw a knowing look at Han Gang.

Han Gang could only smile bitterly.

sent Song Yongchen to the queen to summon himself into the palace, but he found a small yellow door to recruit Zhang Dun, and maybe went to find the rest of Zaifu's inner servants, who were also at the level of the small yellow door.

Who would believe that there is no inside story in it?

Han Gang estimated that if there was no fire outside the city today, Zai Fu would have been the first to be summoned to the palace.

It's no wonder that Song Yongchen urged himself to be fast, fast, fast!

Of course, Han Gang is happy to see this trust. But sometimes, it can also bring trouble.

Han Gang and Zhang Dian were silent, and no one spoke first.

The procession through the royal street did not make any noise except for the sound of shouting and horses' hooves.

Han Gang didn't know if Lu Dao Zhangdun had pried anything out of Xiao Huangmen's mouth, but he knew that the Privy Council had at least guessed the reason.

This has no impact on the overall situation of the world.

If it was the sudden death of the emperor, it would of course cause turmoil in the imperial court and even the world.

But now it is only that Funing Palace has changed, and the Emperor Taishang has finally mastered Bintian, and everyone will not be surprised. For more than a year, everyone has been waiting for this day, and they have long been fully prepared for it.

It's just that Han Gang's mood is still extremely heavy.

After all, it was the monarch who single-mindedly cheered up and guided the revival of China!

From the moment he ascended the throne, he put his mind on enriching the country and strengthening the army.

It is because of him that there is now the Great Song Dynasty, which is about to enter the prosperous era.

Even Han Gang, who has been suppressed, has now eliminated all his grievances, and what he recalls is the memory of when the monarch and the minister got along.

"Yukun." After looking at the east that was red by the firelight for a while, Zhang Dian broke the silence, "Wang Sunchen has a letter from there, and he just arrived." ”

“…… Win? ”

"Shule struck him down and slaughtered the city." Zhang Dian sighed, "The order is still halfway there, and he has already taken care of it." ”

"Is it because of the Uighurs' long-standing grudges?"

"Well, it's all on the Uighurs."

"It's thoughtful, and it's really improved." Han Gangha laughed, and then asked with a smile, "The Western Regions are decided, what are you going to do with him?" ”

Wang Sunsin's success was beyond anyone's expectations. Almost alone laid down the Western Regions. Under normal circumstances, at this point, he would have to change his generals, lest the Western Regions become the world of his royal family. However, when Ganliang Road was not yet stably controlled, the Western Regions could not send more soldiers and horses for a while. At this time, someone else replaced Wang Sunchen, which caused the situation in the Western Regions to deteriorate, which Han Gang and Zhang Dian did not want to see.

"Wang Sunchen can't move lightly, but he still has to ask Su Zirong, Xue Shizheng, and Guo Zhongtong's thoughts." Zhang Dian advocated that Wang Sunchen stay in the Western Regions, but he was worried that the Eastern Mansion would interfere, and planned to unify the opinions of the Privy Council first. "What do you mean, Yukun?"

"Wang Sunsin really couldn't move. There are ......" Han Gang thought for a moment, "Shule was slaughtered, if the officials and soldiers also participated in it, that group of people would not be able to be transferred back." ”

“…… That's right. Zhang Dian nodded.

Killing people and slaughtering cities on the battle array are two different things, and the army that has personally participated in the slaughter of the city is like a tiger that has eaten people, and no one dares to stay around.

But it's not too likely, or even very small. When the Uighurs slaughtered the city, Wang Sunsin would not be so confused as to let all his men duck, and in order to prevent the Black Khan counterattack, he must have a reliable reserve in his hands before he dared to let other troops enter the city.

The team that can be trusted by Wang Sunchen is naturally the Han army, which is dominated by officials and soldiers. The harvest looted from Shule City, the one who can take the most share must be the Han army. With Wang Sunsin's character, he would definitely not mind taking a big share of it and distributing it to his subordinates, so there was no need to worry about the Han army being disgruntled because he could not participate in the robbery.

Han Gang is talking nonsense, but his intentions, Zhang Dian understands. It was to let the thousands of Han troops remain in the hands of Wang Sunchen and let him continue to command. Otherwise, keeping Wang Sunchen in the Western Regions, but transferring the strong army in his hands according to the custom, or changing the commander, will also ruin the overall situation of the Western Regions.

The conversation between Zhang Dian and Han Gang avoided the reality they were about to face, which was not something they could discuss now, and at the same time they didn't want to discuss.

It's just that except for Funing Hall and Emperor Taishang, Zhang Dian and Han Gang didn't know what to say for a while, and after a few words of dialogue about the Western Regions and Wang Sunchen, the queue returned to silence.

All the way to the Xuande Gate in silence, Zhang Shouyue led the army to guard the city gate.

After passing through the city gate, it was Shi Deyi.

They were all silent, bowed their heads to Zhang Dian and Han Gang, and then let them pass.

With Song Yongchen and the little yellow gate, Zhang Dian and Han Gang came all the way to Funing Palace.

The hall was silent, but the lights were bright. It's like a temple hall lit with an everlasting lamp, only the fire flickering.

Han Gang's heart was like a boulder, and as he approached the Son of Heaven's bedroom, the weight became heavier and heavier.

When I entered the hall, I didn't see Queen Xiang, but I saw Cai Qu and Su Song who were straight today.

Cai Qu got up to greet him: "Zihou, Yukun." Are you here? ”

Then he said to Han Gang: "Yukun, Empress Taishang asked you to go in when you arrived." ”

Han Gang quietly made an inquiring gesture to Su Song, Su Song closed his eyes and shook his head silently, without any extra words.

"Xuanhui." Song Yongchen was already standing at the door leading to the inner hall and made way for Han Gang.

Han Gang walked in.

In the eight-step bed, Empress Xiang was sitting on the edge of the couch, her hand caressing Zhao Ji's cheek.

Hearing Han Gang's footsteps, she immediately got up, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Xuanhui is here." Come and see the official family! ”

Han Gang looked at the inner room, several imperial doctors, all of them bowed their heads and shrank in the corner. Secretly sighed, and stepped forward as he said.

The emperor of the old Song Dynasty and the current emperor are lying on his back on the bed as in the past, and there is no difference from the day before when he was inquired. The complexion is ruddy, and it is even better than the previous complexion. At first glance, it looks like he's still asleep.

It's just that when Han Gang checked the pulse that was not moving, and then pressed the side of his neck, which was also not pulsating, he reached the end of his nose at the back of his hand, and the fingertips were cold at all, and he couldn't feel the slightest breath at all.

"I beg your pardon for being rude."

Han Gang said apologetically, took the simple stethoscope, opened the futon and placket, and listened carefully to his heart, without a trace of movement. He opened his eyelids and shone it with a candle, but his dilated pupils still didn't respond.

Putting down the candlestick, he silently took two steps back and knelt down.

Not deliberately, Han Gang's voice was already heavily nasal, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has already made a big move!" ”

"Xuanhui!" The queen trembled, "What's the official family ...... How...... Why is it so popular? ”

'Why is it so good?' ’

The queen's reaction made Han Gang raise his head in surprise, is this the question that a widowed woman should ask?

But after an instant, his heart suddenly brightened, no wonder Song Yongchen urged him to move quickly, no wonder he refused to say the reason, if he let himself rush to save the emperor, it would be okay to say it clearly, what else is there to hide! It's no wonder that Du Cai and Su Song were blocked outside, it was Zhao Xu's cause of death that was problematic!

Han Gang cleaned up his mood and was about to take a closer look, but just now he heard the movement inside, Cai Qu, Su Song, Zhang Dan, and Zeng Bu and Guo Kui, who had just arrived, all broke in, and they all heard the question of Empress Xiang.

They didn't even have time to cry for Zhao Ji, they either asked Han Gang or the imperial doctor in unison: "Why is the emperor so good?!" ”

After a while, the rest of Zaifu, Han Jiang, Zhang Qi, Xue Xiang, and even Wang Anshi, also arrived.

Even Wang Anshi had no time to mourn for Zhao Ji. Instead, they questioned the cause of Zhao Ji's death together.

Zhao Ji can die, but he can't die in vain.

Although for the sake of the stability of the court and the country, this matter should not be investigated at all. But the news has spread, and it can no longer be hidden.

"Who is taking care of Your Majesty tonight?" Wang Anshi asked sharply.

Liu Weijian, who was on duty today, replied, his face was gray, and he had long lost the brilliance of this time: "They are all dead." There were three people serving the Son of Heaven in the eight-step bed, a royal doctor, a small yellow door, and an old palace man, all of whom died. ”

If it weren't for that, no one would have questioned the cause of Zhao's death.

Hearing this information, everyone changed color, is this someone poisoning the palace?

Han Gang's brows furrowed, which made him feel inexplicably familiar.

"Who has come to see the Emperor?" Wang Anshi asked on behalf of everyone.

"Several imperial concubines and officials have come to visit the emperor, and the eldest princess has also come in the morning, as well as the ministers."

There must still be Queen Xiang, but Liu Weijian didn't dare to mention it.

"Who's the last?"

Liu Wei was simply supportive, and Xiang Queen said calmly: "The last is me." After reviewing today's recital, the official family ...... The emperor has already made a big deal. ”

"Who was Your Highness before?"

"It's an official. The official family came to visit the emperor, and because of the polluted air, the emperor was not breathing, and people closed the doors, windows and curtains. ”

There was a soft sound, but Su Song's feet were soft, and the wat board in his hand fell to the ground, and the person almost fell.

Xue Xiang was beside Su Song, and hurriedly reached out to support him. But on the other side, Zhang Dian didn't raise his hand to help him, his face was pale and terrifying, and he stared at Liu Weijian directly.

This movement attracted everyone's attention.

"Go on."

After snatching Wang Anshi's words, Han Gang's voice was hoarse as if he had changed a person, and he asked impatiently, as if he was evading, "Who was the official family before?" Who administered the drug today? Who is in charge of the diet?! Who takes care of the charcoal fire?! ”

Han Gang kept asking, and even asked again and again, Liu Weijian and all the other palace people in the Funing Palace were tortured by him.

After the end, he ended the inquiry and said to the queen, "Your Highness." Please screen back for now. ”

Without waiting for the queen to react, he swept everyone in the hall, "Except for Zaifu, all irrelevant people have left." Wang Zhongzheng, look at them! All thirty paces away from the temple! ”
