Chapter 825: The Decisive Empress Dowager Cao
Wang Ning'an's proposal was unanimously praised by everyone, including Zhao Shu, who recited it twice, and also felt that it was very suitable for his father, so the two numbers were determined.
The rest of the things are easy to do, Ouyang Xiu, Jia Changchao, and Song Zhen got together to discuss, and immediately added the other words!
Renzong, the body of the heavens, the law, the Dao, the extreme merit, the whole virtue, the divine text, the saint, the martial arts, the sage, the Rui Zhe, the Ming Xiaowu Emperor.
Uncle Zhao got the conclusion of the coffin, and an era was officially over.
The ministers dragged their tired bodies and continued to deal with the emperor's funeral.
Wang Ningan walked to Zhao Shu's side and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you should also take a rest, half a month later, it will be Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony, and thousands of people will look at this day!" Your Majesty can't let the Emperor down yet. ”
Zhao Shu nodded, he suddenly raised his head, and pleaded: "Master, when no one is around, can I still call you Master, just like before." I, I've lost my father, and I don't want to lose my master anymore. ”
The little guy is pitiful, Wang Ningan's heart is sour, Zhao Shu is only sixteen years old, and he is just a child who has just entered high school in the next life, even if he has more exercise and more education, he is still too young.
It's not easy to lose my father and face so much pressure.
Wang Ningan reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "As a courtier, you can't trespass, but since Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, take your own opinion!" ”
Zhao Shu's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Master!" ”
Wang Ningan sighed: "Your Majesty, rest early, my Great Song Dynasty civil and military system is complete, there will be no problems." ”
"Well, with Master here, I'm at ease."
Zhao Shu suddenly remembered something, "Master's father died suddenly, I, as a son of man, want to keep filial piety for my father, what does Master think?" ”
Wang Ningan immediately said: "According to the edict of the first emperor, the sun is changed from month to month, as long as it is kept for 27 days, is it not that Your Majesty is not satisfied?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Shu bowed his head and said: "The scholars still have to guard for three years, isn't the royal family still as good as the scholars?" Besides, my father takes care of me so much, and it is reasonable to keep filial piety for my father! ”
Wang Ningan didn't agree very much, to be honest, he didn't like to keep filial piety. Take an official for example, from the age of 30 to the age of 70, and even many people do not live to be 70.
It's only about 30 years, my father died for three years, and my mother died for another three years, and the time to do things was reduced by one-fifth, which was really a waste.
Take Bao Zheng as an example, he has been guarding his parents for a total of ten years, and the filial piety of the old man Wang Ning'an admires it, but it may not be appropriate to waste precious time.
It's just that some things are really hard to say.
You can't tell Zhao Shu that your father is dead, it's nothing, it's not worth wasting time, keep filial piety for him...... If so, what's the difference between it and a beast.
Wang Ning'an pondered: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the affairs of the court are complicated, and the Great Song Dynasty is in a time of drastic changes, the first emperor is benevolent and loves the people, and is diligent in national affairs, will not like Your Majesty to ignore the people?" Seeing that Zhao Shu was bored and unhappy, Wang Ningan said again: "If Your Majesty misses the first emperor, you might as well extend the time appropriately, and in addition to national affairs, you can also take time to meditate and mourn, and don't care too much about the form...... After all, the first emperor also hoped that His Majesty could magnify the country and keep the ancestral inheritance. ”
Zhao Shu was a little disappointed, but still nodded.
"Master, there are so many things that depend on you to deal with, take care of your health."
Zhao Shu said goodbye to Wang Ning'an and temporarily returned to the East Palace to report that Zhao Zhen had just died, and the Funing Palace had not yet been cleaned up, so it was obviously inappropriate to let Xinjun live directly.
Wang Ningan had to make the same arrangements, fortunately, there were still a group of old ministers in the court, as well as Sima Guang, as long as Wang Ningan coordinated and assigned the matter, it would be nothing.
was busy until the afternoon of the next day, and Wang Ningan finally took a little time to invite Qian Yi over.
After the meeting, get straight to the point.
"Doctor Qian, how did you find out?"
Qian Yi's face was full of shame, because he told Wang Ning'an last year that Zhao Zhen should be able to survive until the autumn, who knew that the spring had just begun, and His Majesty the Emperor left, making it too late for the prince's wedding, as a doctor, he made such a big mistake, Qian Yi was very ashamed.
Especially when he asked Zhao Zhen for a pulse, the emperor's health was very bad, but it was not to the extent that he died immediately.
"Lord Wang, now that I think about it, it was about the year of the so-called murder, the first emperor had mood swings for a while, vomited blood, and hurt his gods, and since then, his body has become worse and worse, so that he has no way to return to heaven. At the time, I just thought that the damage was fundamental, which was reasonable, but now that I think about it, it seems that ...... There is another secret! ”
Wang Ningan lowered his eyelids, of course he knew what was going on.
Zhao Zhen once wanted to abolish Empress Cao and prevent the harem from interfering in politics.
But just when he was about to make a move, Zhao Zhen suddenly fell ill, and later someone wrote a letter of impeachment, which broke the matter, and Uncle Zhao did not continue to make trouble.
According to what Qian Yi said, Zhao Zhen's pulse was chaotic, and his body suddenly deteriorated, which coincided with this time!
"Mr. Qian, what evidence do you have?"
Qian Yi nodded, he took out a handkerchief from his arms, and after unfolding it, there was a lot of incense ash in it.
"What is this?"
"Lord Wang, this is a special dream sweet fragrance made by the Tai Hospital, since a year ago, Your Majesty has not been able to sleep, every night, I have to light the dream sweet fragrance to help sleep."
Wang Ningan was immediately alert, "Imperial Doctor Qian, could it be that someone has done something in the incense?" ”
"No, no, no!"
Qian Yi shook his head again and again, "I will check everything in Your Majesty's palace, and there will be no problem." And since the last time there was poisoning in the palace, I didn't dare to poison anyone, just ......"
"Just what?"
Qian Yi raised his head and said in a low voice: "Although Meng Tianxiang is good, but the medicine is poisonous, if someone uses double or even triple Meng Tianxiang, it can indeed harm the dragon body...... I checked the incense, and it was a bit more. ”
Wang Ningan took a breath, and his face changed color.
Dream sweet fragrance is very toxic, a little more ordinary, at most it is just a dizzy head, no big problem. But Zhao Zhen can't do it, his body is weak, and a slight change will damage the dragon body.
Using this trick to deal with Zhao Zhen, I have to say, it is really insidious enough!
Who is it, who is it that plots against the emperor?
Wang Ningan suddenly became angry, he gritted his teeth, "Imperial Doctor Qian, you continue to investigate, I will arrange manpower, be sure to find out the truth, dare to plot against the first emperor, dare to move the current emperor, such a mad man, staying in the world, is a scourge, must cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”
"Understood."
Qian Yi nodded, not only him, but even the people of the Imperial City Division also moved, in fact, those who have the ability to do things in the palace are none other than those people...... Wang Ningan actually had a guess a long time ago, but he didn't have enough time to investigate, so Uncle Zhao died first.
blamed himself for cherishing his feathers too much, for fear of being suspicious, and for fear that someone would say that he wanted to seize power and set up the emperor, and as a result, he made the mistake of hesitation.
If you don't make a move, those little people won't stop!
Wang Ning'an fell into self-blame, and at this time, suddenly there was news that it was the second prince Zhao Zonglin, because the first emperor died, fell into great grief, crying and shouting to worship the first emperor, but lost his mind on the road, fell into the pool, was too frightened, and had fallen ill!
Is Zhao Zonglin sick?
Wang Ningan was taken aback, it stands to reason that this second prince is the one who is the most suspicious, and it is he who Wang Ningan wants to investigate!
Ercheng and Zhang Zai were both arrested, and they wanted to deal with him, but they didn't poke it out because they were afraid of Zhao Zhen's body, but he fell ill immediately after the emperor died, which is really strange!
……
"It's an order from the mourning family!"
Empress Cao...... Uh, no, it's the Empress Dowager Cao, her face was solemn, she stood in front of Zhao Shu, and said in a low voice: "It's this rebel, he bought the eunuchs of the Funing Palace, doubled the sweet fragrance of the first emperor's dreams, and murdered the first emperor, his heart can be punished!" ”
After Zhao Shu heard this, his face became more and more ugly!
His fists couldn't help but clench, think about it, before his father died, he also told himself to take good care of Zhao Zonglin, let him be a rich idler, and worry about food and clothing!
Perhaps, his father had already known Zhao Zonglin's secret actions, but his father was unwilling and couldn't bear to pull it out.
As a result, because of Zhao Zhen's benevolence, Zhao Zonglin actually found an opportunity to kill his father, and he was really the same as his mother, ruthless enough, poisonous enough, and spicy!
Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and hated, "Queen Mother, did he really do it?" Then he should be put to death! ”
Empress Dowager Cao shook her head slightly, "Your Majesty, the first emperor just went, and you killed his son, your own brother, how can you explain to the people of the world?" Moreover, the first emperor ruled martial arts all his life, and finally died at the hands of his own son, is this reputation spread? ”
Of course it's not suitable, but, but if Zhao Zonglin really made a black hand and didn't kill him, he would be even more sorry for his father's spirit in the sky.
Before he officially ascended the throne, there was such a big problem, and Zhao Shu was really a little crazy.
Watching her son go back and forth, Empress Dowager Cao couldn't help but shake her head.
Tender, too tender!
can't even handle such a little thing, how can you fight with the old fox of the Manchu Dynasty?
"Your Majesty, are you willing to listen to the arrangement of the Queen Mother?"
Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, what is the best plan?" ”
"I can't talk about the clever plan, didn't Zhao Zonglin fall into the water! He was also sick, so he prescribed medicine and let him take it, because the medicine was poisonous, and he knew the properties of medicine so well, and after two or three months, he was afraid that he would get better. ”
Zhao Shu frowned, but found a sneer on the corner of the queen mother's mouth.
If you eat for two or three months, you will not eat well, but you will die!
Okay, what a good way, God killed Zhao Zonglin without knowing it!
This trick is brilliant!
Zhao Shu nodded again and again, picked up two thumbs, and Empress Dowager Cao got up and patted her son on the shoulder.
"Alas, you're still too young to use any means." Empress Dowager Cao pondered: "You are the lord of the Great Song Dynasty, you must mature as soon as possible and support this piece of heaven as soon as possible...... When your father's funeral is over, the queen mother will officiate at your wedding, choose a few more concubines, and spread the branches...... This person, if he is not a father, he will not be mature! ”
