- At noon, people from the Runan Palace's palace came to report that the old prince Zhao Yunrang was no longer good.

Zhao Zhen knew that Zhao Yunrang was seriously ill, but he didn't expect that he would reach the limit so quickly, and he was very sad. After all, it's a fifty-year-old brother, and it would be a lie to say that he has no feelings.

But he couldn't rush to visit, because the courtiers were critically ill, and the emperor drove to visit the sick, which was both a supreme honor and a heavy pressure -- if the emperor came and you were cured again, wouldn't it be a crime of deceit? In this case, there is only one choice to be a courtier, which is to die with a full name.

Zhao Zhen is a careful official under the considerate subordinates, so he naturally has to take this into account, so he first ordered Hu Yandui to visit: "You go and see, if it really doesn't work, hurry up and tell me." ”

After that, Zhao Zhen was a little uneasy, and after watching this scene, he was even more touched. While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw Li Xian standing there with his hands down, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the big official, the Imperial City Division reported that Liu Hua had found it and had brought it into the palace." Li Xian said softly.

"Oh......" Zhao Zhen completely lost interest in listening to the drama at this time, waved his hand, asked the troupe to retreat, and asked slowly: "Where did you find it?" ”

"Daxiangkokuji Temple." Li Xian replied: "This guy didn't leave the capital, but shaved his head and hid in the Zen courtyard of Xiangguo Temple. ”

Zhao Zhen stopped talking, and some gray memories that he tried his best to avoid thinking about but lingered came to his heart.

"Do you want to interrogate him?" Li Xian asked tentatively.

"......" Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let the Imperial City Division try it first." ”

"Yes." Li Xianying said.

When Li Xian retreated, Zhao Zhen's mood became even more gloomy, and he felt a splitting headache, so he asked the palace people to massage himself. I pressed it for a while before I fell asleep.

Wait for Zhao Zhen to wake up. It was already dark. He opened his eyes. Seeing that Hu Yandui had returned, he asked, "How are you going?" ”

Hu Yan replied: "The old prince is not lightly ill!" The doctor said that it would not last more than one morning and dusk. However, he was still conscious, and he said to himself that this was called a return to the light. said that before he died, he wanted to meet the emperor......"

"Then prepare a sedan chair and change micro-clothes for the widow." Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Call the queen again." "Zhao Yunrang is not only the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the brother of Zhao Zhen. As a younger brother and sister-in-law, the emperor and queen should go together to see him for the last time.

Hu Yan is embarrassed: "If you leave the palace at this time, you will not be able to come back before the palace gate is locked." "There is an extremely strict time limit for the opening and closing of the palace gates, which even the emperor must observe...... Of course, Zhao Zhen can let the eunuch who guards the door open the door, but he will inevitably be reprimanded by the courtiers.

"Let's go today, my old brother won't wait for ......anyone," Zhao Zhen thought about it.

"Yes." Hu Yandui didn't say much, prepared a sedan chair for Zhao Zhen, and picked up Queen Cao, who also changed into civilian clothes. Out of the palace in the twilight.

The main gate of Runan Wangfu is open on the royal street, only one mile away from the Xuande Gate. It's a matter of moments.

Got to the door. The gate of the palace has been closed, and there are two large lanterns with the words 'Runan County Palace'. Shaking in the cold wind, it looks quite desolate.

Hu Yandui knocked on the door, and the voice inside answered: "After the door is closed, there will be no guests!" I'll come back tomorrow if I have something to do. ”

Hu Yandui said in a low voice: "It's the official family and the mother who came to visit the old prince." ”

The inside was busy, and after a while, the middle door suddenly opened, and Zhao Zongyi led the brothers to greet him, and bowed and said: "The old father is seriously ill and can't come out to greet him, please forgive the official family and the mother." ”

"Why should I be polite when a widow comes to visit my brother?" Zhao Zhen said and put down the sedan curtain, and the sedan chair was carried straight into the palace.

Hu Yandui whispered to Zhao Zongyi and others: "The official family came to visit Weifu today, and told the family not to leak the news." ”

Zhao Zongyi naturally responded, leading the sedan chair of the official couple straight to the backyard and falling in front of the bedroom door in the palace.

According to Hu Yandui's instructions, the government has already dismissed the idle people, and only a few brothers of Zhao Zongyi are served. Because the queen also came, Zhao Zongyi's wife Gao and Zhao Zongshi's wife Gao Taotao also stayed...... Both of them are the nieces of Empress Cao.

While inviting the official couple into the inner room, the Zhao brothers hurriedly informed their father: "The official family has come to visit." ”

Zhao Yun let the original drowsy lie down, and when he heard the words, he struggled to get people up, and wanted to go down to the ground to salute Zhao Zhen and his wife.

But he was held down by the official and said: "Lie down, we are traveling in micro-clothes, and I will come to see you by the way." The reason why I say this is to lay a foreshadowing in case Zhao Yunrang doesn't die.

The hard work of the official family, how could Zhao Yunrang not understand it, and the two lines of cloudy old tears flowed silently.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen didn't feel sad, and two bubbles of hot tears appeared in his eyes, holding his hand tightly, choking and speechless. Queen Cao and others on the side naturally shed tears with them.

Zhao Yunrang and Zhao Yunbi are Zhao Zhen's playmates since childhood, they accompanied the prince to study when they were young, and managed the clan for him in their prime. Although the two of them were separated later because of some things, on the occasion of parting from life and death, the past grievances have long been left behind, and the official family is only full of reluctance and heartache.

The two held hands and wept for a long time, and Zhao Yun said tremblingly: "The old minister is going to see Emperor Zhenzong, does the official have something to say to me to take it?" ”

Zhao Zhen just stopped crying, and said with tears in his eyes: "The unfilial son is so guilty, and he is speechless to ...... my father."

"Why should the official family be like this," Zhao Yunrang comforted softly: "The Great Song Dynasty has been politically cultivated for decades, and the Haiyan River is clear, which is a once-in-a-lifetime prosperous era, and you are worthy of your ancestors and ancestors." ”

"I'm ashamed......" Zhao Zhen was silent, and changed the topic: "The old brother has always been Qingsuke lonely and cold, but there is nothing to worry about, but it doesn't matter, I will take care of it." ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the old minister has nothing to worry about." Zhao Yunrang sighed and said: "What's more, the old minister is not lonely, although I am stupid, but I have more than 20 sons, more than a dozen grandchildren, they usually accept joy in front of my knees, I am sick and compete to serve in front of the bed, after I die, they will also sacrifice me every New Year's festival, what am I not satisfied with?" ”

Zhao Zhen said sourly when he heard this: "The old brother is full of children and grandchildren, this blessing is enviable." ”

"But the more this happens, the more sad I become......" Who knew that Zhao Yunrang said with a sad face.

"Why?" Zhao Zhen was puzzled.

"Because the official family is half a hundred years old, but there are still no children under his knees," Zhao Yunrang looked at Zhao Zhen fixedly, and said with tears in his eyes: "When he sees Emperor Zhenzong, he must ask me, why do you have so many sons, but let my son be lonely, why are you so selfish?" I didn't dare to see him. ”

In ancient China, it was normal for brothers to have offspring. In order to continue the incense, families without sons will adopt one or more boys from the family of the brother who has many sons. The biological parents of the stepboy have since become his uncle and aunt, and the sacrifice is not small.

So it's not weird for Zhao Yunrang to say this.

"No, I'm used to it." Zhao Zhen shook his head and said sadly.

"Alas, there was a princess with you, so you didn't feel lonely. But now that even Princess Qingshou is getting married, there are fewer and fewer people around you, and when you return to the harem after dealing with state affairs, who can you talk to? How can family happiness be missing? Zhao Yunrang saw that Zhao Zhen was not unhappy on his face, and said even more boldly:

"The old minister implores the official family to find one or two hearty people from the sect to succeed!" After Zhao Yunrang finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Zhen tightly. His godson also stared nervously at the official family, and the atmosphere in the dormitory quickly turned from sadness to nervousness.

In Zhao Zhen's mind, the scene of "Jin Kui" that he watched in the afternoon, before the Empress Dowager Du died, forced Taizu to establish Taizong as the heir.

He still remembered that Taizu sang such a sentence: 'How can the old man's dying mind be reversed? ’

'How can the old man's dying mind be reversed? Zhao Zhen never imagined that he was facing the same situation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seeing that the official family was silent for a long time, Zhao Yunrang held his hand tightly and cried: "The official family doesn't have to consider my feelings. I have more than twenty sons, and one or two less is nothing. Please find a son you like from among them, let him accompany you, and tease you with the boring son. ”

The other party's dying person, and in terms of family and affection, Zhao Zhen couldn't say the word 'no', and was stunned on the spot for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Zhao Yunrang finished speaking, Xu was overly excited, and he gasped violently, his face was like gold paper, and his face was covered with beads of sweat. One hand grabbed Zhao Zhen's hand tightly and didn't let go.

"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor...... Zhao Zhen shouted, and said to Zhao Yun: "The treatment is important, what to say later." ”

"No......" Zhao Yunrang shook his head with difficulty, he was speechless, but his two eyes were staring at the emperor.

When Zhao Zhen saw him like this, it seemed that when it was time to part with life and death, he couldn't refuse......

The imperial doctor came, and when he saw this, he didn't dare to come forward.

Zhao Zhen moved his wrist and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Zhao Yun made him hold it tightly, and he didn't give him a chance to break free at all.

Zhao Zhen was helpless and looked at Zhao Yunrang who was lying on the bed. Zhao Yunrang was still lying like a dead fish, staring at the official family with his eyes, but he didn't let go.

"Official, uncle is also kind." At this time, even Queen Cao couldn't stand it, and persuaded her: "Let's just promise him." ”

At this time, the corners of Zhao Yunrang's mouth began to bleed, obviously at the last moment, but he kept his eyes open, and he just didn't close them.

Under all these circumstances, Zhao Zhen had to nod and say, "Okay......" -

Partition -

The second more. It's going to get more and more exciting......
