Chapter 358: Song Shenzong ascends the throne
The second day coincided with the court meeting, and the court was still dragging on the court discussions, and the king listened to those twists and turns that had nothing to do with him, and thought about the Golden Lotus Society. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Suddenly a voice came to the ears of the king, this sound seemed to be a gasping sound, and it was a very heavy gasping sound, how could there be such a sound above the main hall. Wang Bian raised his head and looked around, and suddenly saw Song Yingzong Zhao Shu's face was pale, this paleness was no longer the color he usually had in his usual paleness, and even his lips were pale.
Wang Bi immediately looked at the other people around him, some listened to the music in the court, and some lowered their heads and didn't know what to think. Is this voice heard only by himself? If it is because he is close to the emperor, then the two prime ministers Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang in front of him, as well as the crown prince Zhao Ji next to the emperor, are not closer? looked at Zeng Gongliang and Han Qi again, and they all listened carefully. Wang's eyes widened, and then he looked at Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji was looking at himself, and the two looked at each other Zhao Ji saw Wang next to him frowning, showing a blank face.
Suddenly, Song Yingzong Zhao Shu's head tilted, and the whole person fell, and Wang couldn't help but let out an "ah". He interrupted the play, and everyone looked at him. The crown prince Zhao Ji beside the emperor hurriedly rushed to Yingzong's side, holding Song Yingzong's body, he couldn't care about the etiquette in the court, and shouted loudly, "Father, emperor!" ”。 Even so, Zhao Shu didn't reflect at all, and there was a sudden chaos in the court. "Call the Imperial Doctor!" The crown prince yelled at the eunuch behind the emperor. Several officials wanted to get closer, but the guards in the palace came close and stopped everyone, and then someone pushed the emperor's dragon wheelchair towards the back of the palace.
None of the officials in the court refused to leave, and everyone was waiting for the news while talking about it. After about an hour, a eunuch walked in quickly and said, "Empress Yizhi, Prime Minister Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang has come to see you." The two of them hurriedly came out of the ranks, and just after walking a few steps with the eunuch, Han Qi turned to the ministers in the court and said, "Everyone, go back to their respective mansions first and wait for news." ”
Who can not listen to what the prime minister said, looking at the situation just now, everyone's hearts are like a drum. Empress Xuan Prime Minister, that matter is not a trivial matter, not to mention the situation just now of Yingzong, which makes everyone have an ominous premonition in their hearts. For Wang Bi, this feeling is not just a premonition, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry to let Zhao Ji return to the capital from Dali as soon as possible. But even if he knew the years of Yingzong's reign and Yingzong's sudden death in the imperial court, it still made him feel that things came too suddenly.
Following the flow of officials leaving the palace, Cai Xiang and Ouyang Xiu came to the king's side, and Ouyang Xiu asked in a low voice: "King Zhennan, you are well-informed, what do you think of the emperor's situation?" Wang Bi shook his head, although he knew that this was history, and the life span of a person could not be changed, but he knew that no one dared to judge the life and death of the emperor. He returned to the palace sullenly, and even when his subordinates told Mrs. Su that she was back, the king hummed and didn't ask any more. Just let Lu Shenyan immediately go and prepare an official uniform for the emperor to enter the court when he died.
"Lord Wang, are you crazy?!" Lu Shenyan looked at the king with wide eyes.
"Just go ahead and get ready!" The king said very seriously, Lu Shenyan didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly did what the king said.
At dusk, suddenly the drums on the Xuande floor of the imperial city sounded in unison, this is not the drum music of the last dynasty, let alone the ceremonial music of the ceremony, but the mourning music of the emperor's death. Then, a queue of soldiers came out of the imperial city and posted an announcement outside the city. The entire capital was shocked. The news was so sudden that for a moment there was a sad and depressing atmosphere in the air. The news spread quickly, and immediately spread all over the streets and alleys, and when people reacted to what had happened, the buying and selling shops hurriedly removed their flags, and the restaurants and restaurants also sent customers. The vocal music place that had just returned to Yan Wu and singing immediately fell silent.
Lu Shenyan, the chief administrator of the palace, ordered the family to change all the lanterns and candles in the palace to white, and ran to the study next to the king to report the news. When I pushed the door, I saw Wang Bian standing in the study with his hands behind his back, his back to himself, looking at the writing on the wall. "Lord Wang, something is wrong, the emperor has died."
To Lu Shenyan's surprise, Wang turned around slowly and said softly, "Hmm! "Yes.
"Are you ready?"
At this time, Lu Shenyan was not only impressed, but extremely in awe of this prince, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Accurate, ready." ”
"Alas! Take it, I'm going to enter the palace in a while. ”
Wang Fang seemed to know everything that was going to happen next, Lu Shenyan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the mourning clothes that Wang Pan had prepared to enter the palace. The king also convened a temporary meeting of everyone in the palace, and instructed everyone to do what they had arranged according to the original plan, and he was afraid that it would take a few days to come out of the palace when he entered the palace. After he had finished instructing, the Yellow Gate official also came to inform the king, allowing the king to enter the palace immediately. The emperor died, and the officials above the third grade entered the imperial city, and the Ministry of Rites presided over the emperor's funeral ceremony, and first read out the emperor's edict. The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and at the same time as the edict was read, it was announced that the crown prince Zhao Xuan would ascend the throne and succeed to the throne. Three days later, Song Yingzong was buried, and the whole country mourned. Followed by the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, during this time, everything seemed to be frozen, and people only thought about one thing, the new emperor succeeded to the throne and changed the year name Xining.
The new emperor's enthronement ceremony, hundreds of officials congratulated. Zhao Ji sat on the throne expressionlessly, and the joy of ascending the throne for the first time could not replace his grief at the loss of his father. Looking at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhao Ji's mood was very entangled, can these people govern the Great Song Dynasty with themselves? Will the changes that my father once wanted to make happen during his reign? His gaze swept to the face of the king, who was also looking at him.
Finally, the alternation of the thrones of the old and new dynasties was completed, but the king did not feel any ease. From Zhao Ji's gaze, Wang Fang seemed to see a kind of helpless anticipation, or only those who really sat there knew what it meant to sit there and the incomparably heavy pressure on his shoulders.
After the enthronement hall ended, it was still in the vertical arch hall of deliberations, and at this time it was not Renzong or Yingzong who was sitting in the hall, but Zhao Ji, who was just in his early twenties. He was still looking at Wang who was sitting opposite him with his gaze on the chessboard: "Brother Wang, are you really willing to go back to Yongzhou?" ”
"Saint, the matter of Yongzhou has just had a good start, and I can't give up halfway, so I will definitely go back to Yongzhou." Wang said with great certainty.
Zhao Ji sighed softly: "You are gone, I don't know what to do." ”
If it weren't for the vertical arch hall, if it weren't for the identity of the two people at such a distance, Wang Bi would definitely walk up to Zhao Ji and pat him on the shoulder like a brother to give him some encouragement. It's just that it's different now, and it's the king of a country on the other side, and the king bows his head and says, "Don't worry, the two prime ministers and the ministers of the court will do their best to assist you." ”
"Stand down!" Zhao Ji looked at the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace. When everyone was gone, Zhao Ji spoke: "I know what you said, but these old ministers' fathers consulted them when they were in power, and no one could say anything useful. That is, Brother Wang, dare to say and do! ”
Wang Bian knew that the time was ripe, he stood up and said, "Holy Lord, you know the situation in Yongzhou, what do you think of these measures if they are implemented throughout the country?" ”
"Sure, but who's going to do that?"
"I think the Holy One should find someone who is highly respectable and has both talent and learning to do this."
"Listening to Brother Wang, is there a suitable person to nominate you?" Zhao Ji seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
"Being virtuous and not avoiding relatives, I think my father is competent!"
"Good! The official family immediately issued an edict to summon Wang Hanlin, but I still have one condition! ”
"On what terms?"
Zhao Ji blinked, with a pleading expression: "Brother Wang, can you stay in the capital for a few more days, although I know that there are many things to do now, but those old pedants talk about doing this and that, I have a big head when I hear it, and I am not in the mood for anything." ”
His expression made Wang Bi really can't bear to go back to Yongzhou like this, so he smiled: "What they said was mostly what to do next in terms of etiquette." You're going to do it! It's nothing to stay in the capital for a few more days. Besides, I still have something to do. ”
Zhao Ji finally saw a smile on his face, although the smile was a little bitter: "That's good, Brother Wang, do you have anything else you haven't done?" ”
It's not the time to mention that matter for a few days, but today when Zhao Ji mentioned it, the king said: "According to the court ceremony, after the saint ascends the throne, in addition to canonizing the queen mother, concubine, queen and concubine, there is another thing that is to amnesty the world. I think of a person, but I don't know if the Holy One has the intention to forgive? ”
Zhao Ji is not a stupid person, he lowered his head and thought about it when he heard Wang say this: "If it weren't for the death of my father, I'm afraid that Brother Wang came to me a few days ago because of this matter, right?" Seeing that the king was silent, he knew that he was being said by himself. Zhao Ji continued: "It's not that I can pardon if I want to, it's related to the ancestral training, so I pushed it to Brother Wang, presumably Brother Wang will be able to come up with a comprehensive strategy." ”
"Yes! But I want to ask you to summon Young Master Qin, I have something to ask him about in front of the saint. ”
Zhao Ji shook his head helplessly, if Wang Bei couldn't get along with anyone, it would be endless, so he ordered to summon Qin Minxue. Qin Minxue has also been running for Lin Xiuxiu's affairs these days, but it makes him strange that when he talks about this matter, the officials of the Ministry of Officials shook their heads. Knowing that the emperor had summoned him, Qin Minxue hurriedly came to the palace, and Yang Jian greeted him when he came: "Young Master Qin, you are here!" ”
Qin Minxue asked as he walked, "I don't know what's the matter, the Holy Lord is in such a hurry to summon me!" ”
Yang Jian pointed to the closed door of the Hanging Arch Hall with his finger: "King Zhennan is inside, and he has been talking with the Holy Lord for a few hours." Young Master Qin, be careful! He seemed to be very concerned, but in his heart, he wished that Qin Minxue and Wang would pinch each other.
