Chapter 272: The Desire of the County King
Qin Minxue came out of the capital, and he had been thinking about Gao Gonghua's words along the way, although he felt that if Zhao Zhongzhen really became the crown prince and ascended the throne in the future, he would definitely reuse the king's side, which was very unfavorable to himself; But Gao Gonghua's idea is just his personal idea, in all fairness, it seems unlikely that Zhao Hao will be the crown prince, after all, Zhao Hao's age is too young, not to mention, although the Empress Dowager Cao has withdrawn the curtain now, but even the current emperor Song Yingzong will often listen to the opinions of the Empress Dowager, so that Zhao Zongchu has become Zhao Zhongzhen's strongest opponent,
However, how can I see Zhao Zongxuan, Qin Minxue returned to the mansion, thinking in his heart, and suddenly his entourage came to report, and saw that the county king had returned to the palace, it seems that the guards will not stop him anymore, Qin Minxue hurriedly came to the county king's mansion, it was almost dusk at this time, and the guards on duty also changed shifts, Qin Minxue had to hand over the name card again, and explained his intention again,
This time, the guard on duty replied more simply, leave the name post, you stay at your place of residence and wait for the notice, what is this called, Qin Minxue understood in his heart, the king of Hades was so difficult to see the little ghost, he took out two ingots of silver from his arms and put them in the hands of the guard, the guard checked the silver in hand, and saw that this kid still understands the rules: "Qin ...... Qin Minxue is right. ”
Now it's time to go in, Qin Minxue thought in his heart and replied, "It's exactly below." ”
"You are waiting here for a while, the county king is usually busy, there are too many young people like you who want to get to know the county king, you wait, I will ask you to ask the manager Shi first, whether you can meet the county king, it depends on your kid's luck." The guard turned around and entered the courtyard gate as he spoke.
After a long time, the guard came out of it, and he pointed at Qin Minxue with his hand: "You, follow me." Saying that, he brought Qin Minxue into the county king's mansion,
As soon as Qin Minxue entered the county palace, it was like entering a large garden, with pavilions, pavilions, flowers and rockeries decorated with ten distinctions, and he was taken to a courtyard after three or two rounds, and the guard pushed open a door and said to him: "You are waiting here for Manager Shi." After that, he turned around and left, he waited in the room for more than an hour, it was already dark, and no one came, so he wouldn't forget about himself, Qin Minxue looked outside the house, there were a few guards guarding the courtyard door, he turned back to the room, and sat there thinking about things,
Suddenly, he heard the sound of Suosuo's footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, "Who is waiting here?" This voice sounded gloomy, Qin Minxue couldn't help but shudder, and raised his head sharply to see that it was a eunuch who came in, and the county king used the eunuch as the chief manager, which was a bit unexpected by Qin Minxue, but he immediately calmed down, stepped forward and said: "In the lower Qin Minxue, from the capital, you are the head of Shi." ”
"From the capital." Manager Shi's voice was slightly surprised, he ordered the entourage behind him to light the lights in the room, and the room lit up in an instant, Manager Shi looked at Qin Minxue: "Secretary Qin, I don't know what you came to find the king of the county this time." There was a hint of scrutiny and vigilance in his eyes, and his gaze was cold, which made Qin Minxue feel uncomfortable,
"I came by the emperor's order, passing through your land, and I want to see the king of Handong County." In the face of this eunuch, Qin Minxue didn't want to tell it all,
Manager Shi's attitude softened slightly: "Since it is ordered by the emperor, there is business to do." ”
"Yes, there are some important things, but I have heard the name of the county king in the capital, so I worship it very much, since I am here, I want to see the county king, and I hope that the chief manager will be accommodating." Qin Minxue said very modestly,
This kid is quite good at talking, but Mr. Shi is not so easy to pass, anyone who comes from the capital to see the king of the county will pass through his pass, it can be said that he knows everything in the court, this Mr. Shi is not Shi Zhicong, his name is Shi Zhaoxi,
Shi Zhaoxi turned out to be a minister in the palace, according to his position, he was a deputy chief, and he was once a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager Cao, and his best friend was Ren Shouzhong, the chief eunuch, after Ren Shouzhong's accident, all the relevant messengers were punished together, and Shi Zhaoxi was also sentenced to move to the south.
Sima Guang's idea to Song Yingzong back then, the responsibility of Emperor Yingzong to break into the harem and scold the queen mother was put on Ren Shouzhong, the blame was Ren Shouzhong to sow discord, this matter was finally calm, and some people were happy when they carried the black pot, but the Empress Dowager Cao was not very comfortable, of course she understood that this was just a step for each other to take out the eunuchs, but what made the Empress Dowager Cao even more uncomfortable was that it was obviously Yingzong who was messing around, and even the eunuchs serving around the Empress Dowager Cao were implicated.
Shi Zhaoxi's life is still good, he was sentenced to Guangnan, originally to be a low-level service to the princess in the county palace, but he is very good at seizing the opportunity, especially when he told Zhao Zongchu how the Empress Dowager Cao was dissatisfied with Song Yingzong and how Song Yingzong was disrespectful to the Empress Dowager Cao, seeing the scorn on Zhao Zongzong's face, Shi Zhaoxi knew that his good luck came,
When Zhao Zongchu was summoned by the Empress Dowager Cao for the first time, it happened to be Yingzong who was seriously ill, and the Empress Dowager learned that Shi Zhaoxi was in the county palace, thinking of the love of the master and servant, and couldn't help but feel that Zhao Zongchu was more sensible and filial than Yingzong Zhao Shu, here I want to talk about this Zhao Zongshu: Song Yingzong Zhao Shu's biological father has twenty-eight sons, who were born to three princesses, Zhao Shu and Zhao Zongchu were both born to the princess of King Pu, Zhao Shu was sent to the palace as the adopted son of Emperor Renzong since he was a child, and now he has successfully ascended the throne as the emperor, and the two brothers usually have little interaction, So there's no emotion at all,
But Zhao Shu sealed Zhao Zongchu as the king of Handong County, Zhao Zongchu already had resentment in his heart, other princes and princes were enjoying glory and wealth in the capital, but he was sealed to the south, far away from the capital, he had long felt that this matter was unfair, Zhao Shu ascended the throne and his son was still young, and the queen mother intended to establish a prince, which had already hinted at Zhao Zongshu, at this time, Zhao Zongchu found that the place he stayed in was too good,
Shaozhou has been known as Shaoguan since ancient times, with the geographical danger of being known as a husband and a man, and when Zhao Shu was tossing Pu in the capital, Zhao Zongchu also began to be busy, replacing Zhao Shu, Zhao Zongchu This idea was out of control, Shi Zhaoxi's arrival made Zhao Zongshu feel that God was helping him, because although Shi Zhaoxi left the palace, there were still eyes and ears in the palace, and the movement in the palace, Zhao Zongchu, who was in the south, sometimes got the news faster than the people in the capital,
These two people got together and began to think about how to sit on the throne of the Great Song Emperor, and they also began to travel frequently with various state cities in Guangnan in order to prevent accidents, not only that, Zhao Zongchu also secretly deployed, recruited troops and horses, and even did a good job in the dragon robe, if the Empress Dowager Cao can strive to establish herself as the crown prince is the best, if not, then she will establish herself as the king in Zhao Zongchun Guangnan, Shi Zhaoxi has become a celebrity in Zhao Zongxun's eyes, even Shi Zhaoxi himself thinks that if Zhao Zongchun can gain power, He is one man under ten thousand people,
At present, the county king Zhao Zongchu has just returned from the capital, there is good news to bring back, the Empress Dowager Cao is ready to unite the ministers to urge Yingzong to establish the prince as soon as possible, this matter is a good thing for Zhao Zongchu, although the son inherits the father's business, but first of all, Zhao Shu is not Renzong's own son, and the Great Song Dynasty brother inherits the brother's business There is already a precedent, not to mention that Zhao Shu's sons are underage, and Zhao Shupu's move, even depreciating the imperial history, also made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military complaints, if the prince is established at this time, Then the Empress Dowager Cao can use the power of some old ministers to put pressure on Emperor Yingzong,
Hearing such good news, Mr. Shi persuaded the king of the county to pray for blessings, so that Zhao Zongshu and King Zhongzhen passed by during the day, and after Zhao Zongshu returned from Nanhua Temple, he asked Shi Zhaoxi to discuss major matters, so Qin Minxue waited for so long,
Now, for Zhao Zongshu and Shi Zhaoxi, but at the critical moment, at this time, an official suddenly came from the capital, saying that he wanted to meet the king of the county, which inevitably made Shi Zhaoxi a little vigilant and nervous, what did this Qin Minxue do, will it be sent by the imperial court, or is it really passing by as he said,
Shi Zhaoxi looked Qin Minxue up and down: "You said that you passed by here to do something, where are you going, you have a certificate." ”
Qin Minxue secretly thought, it seems that Manager Shi doesn't believe in himself very much, no matter what, he is a guest, he must show some sincerity first, he took out the emperor's handwritten edict from his arms: "I really have something very important going south this time, I came this time to find someone." ”
Shi Zhaoxi took the edict and looked at it, sure enough, it was the edict of Emperor Yingzong, the edict was Qin Minxue's order, and the various state capitals he passed through should be more assisted, which made Shi Zhaoxi a little surprised, this Qin Minxue in front of him is quite young, and the official position is only the secretary of the seventh grade, but he has a holy edict, this person must have something extraordinary, he moved his mind, and hurriedly handed the edict back to Qin Minxue with both hands, and said in a polite tone: "I don't know who Secretary Qin is looking for, since it is in Shaozhou, our county palace will definitely help." ”
Qin Minxue said: "What I'm looking for is a person who is very important to the emperor, but I don't know if the king of the county is willing to help." ”
Shi Zhaoxi laughed, and his smile was a little weird: "Secretary Qin said this, I don't know what it means, but since the emperor has made an edict, then how can our county king not help, I think you can't trust me, so let's go back and wait for my news first, the county king has been in poor health recently, if there is some improvement tomorrow, I will send someone to invite you." ”
Qin Minxue knew that these were nothing more than polite words, he got up to say goodbye, walked to the door and suddenly stopped, and looked back at Shi Zhaoxi, "Manager Shi, please leave this matter to you, the person I am looking for is related to the Great Song Dynasty." Then he turned and left,
There was no movement behind him, it seemed that Shi Zhaoxi didn't care what he said, Qin Minxue was taken out of the county king's mansion by the guards, and he breathed a sigh of relief, this eunuch is insidious enough, and he is so wary of himself, most of the problems here, no matter what, throwing down this sentence is just to test Zhao Zongxuan, this matter is a bit dangerous, but Qin Minxue believes that wealth and nobility always have to be in danger,
