Chapter 124: The Last Hour

It seems that the rumors are good, Zhao Kuo's health has not been very good since he was a child, and now he has survived to his fifties, coupled with the absurd life, his already not strong body has become much weaker, so that he finally can't hold it anymore.

Gao Huaiyuan This is the first time to see Zhao Kuo, when he saw the man on the dragon bed clearly, he couldn't help but feel sad for him, Zhao Kuo can be said to be not a debaucherous emperor in this life, but he can be called a cowardly emperor, although there is no great evil, and he is honest and kind, and often thinks of the suffering of the people, but the fault is that he does not know how to use people, basically he has not been the master in this life, and the harem has always been Queen Yang who is taking care of him, and in the court he first appointed Han Yanxuan as the prime minister, was led by Han Yanxuan by the nose to a Kaixi Northern Expedition, and then after the failure of the Northern Expedition, he favored Shi Miyuan again, it can be said that he spent his life in a muddy nightmare, and he was the emperor for thirty years, but he didn't do much to benefit the Southern Song Dynasty at all.

Now that he has reached this time, he doesn't even have a person to inherit his mantle, so he can only lie here quietly, let Shi Miyuan and them toss, speaking of which Zhao Kuo can be regarded as a pathetic emperor, and the emperor can be his part, which is really sad enough.

But even though he is terminally ill now, he still can't recuperate in peace, a huge conspiracy is looming over him, but he is lying here unconscious, so it is also his own sin, and he can't complain about others or anything! After seeing Zhao Kuo, Gao Huaiyuan sighed slightly, but he was finally a little satisfied in his heart, so he came to this world for a trip and was lucky to be able to meet Emperor Ningzong! It's not in vain!

"Lord Gao, the situation of the official family has improved a little in the past two days, although the consciousness has not yet recovered, but he can eat some liquid food, and from time to time he will say some things from the past, the imperial doctor has adjusted the medication, and it is estimated that the situation will improve!" Gonggong Liu cautiously stood beside Gao Huaiyuan and whispered to Gao Huaiyuan about Zhao Kuo's condition.

After listening to Gonggong Liu's words, Gao Huaiyuan knew that what Shi Miyuan said was true, Zhao Kuo really showed signs of recovery, no wonder Shi Miyuan was so anxious to transfer him to the palace, it seems that Shi Miyuan was also forced to be helpless!

"Oh! But I see that the official family is so weak, is it really possible to recover? Gao Huaiyuan asked Gonggong Liu suspiciously, having said that, he couldn't see that Zhao Kuo seemed to have a little recovery.

"Master Gao doesn't know, the saint's body has always been relatively weak, and he has almost stopped eating water and rice in the first few days, but in the past two days, he will wake up from time to time for a while, and mention some usual things, his situation has been repeated in the past two years, this time he must be able to survive!" Gonggong Liu then said to Gao Huaiyuan.

While the two of them were talking, Zhao Kuo on the dragon bed suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked at Gao Huaiyuan with a cloudy gaze, and suddenly showed a look of fear on his face, and asked in a weak voice, "Who are you?" Why are you standing by my bedside? ”

Gao Huaiyuan was really taken aback by Zhao Kuo, and immediately took a step back, and Gonggong Liu stepped forward and hurriedly congratulated: "Congratulations to the official family, you have finally woken up!" This is the new Xiao Cavalry Captain Gao Huaiyuan, who has come to visit the Holy Lord in the palace! Now General Gao is specifically responsible for the safety of the official family, please don't worry about the official family! ”

Gao Huaiyuan only reacted at this time, although his boss was reluctant, he still knelt down and said: "Weichen Gao Huaiyuan sees the saint, congratulations to the saint, long live long live!" ”

Zhao Kuo had just woken up, still a little confused, looking at Gao Huaiyuan in front of him, he actually moved his fingers slightly and said in a weak voice: "Get up!" It's you! But why didn't I see Zhao Benshi by my side? ”

Gao Huaiyuan, this sweat! I didn't expect Zhao Kuo to wake up and the first thing he did was to ask this, so he hurriedly gave Minister Liu Gonggong a look, Liu Gonggong knew what Gao Huaiyuan meant, and hurriedly said: "Qiqi official, General Zhao has something to do, go out of the palace to do business, General Gao is here, everything is fine!" ”

Zhao Kuo looked around with a cloudy gaze, and immediately coughed, his lungs were panting like a broken bellows, and before he finished a sentence, he rolled his eyes and fainted again.

At this time, Gonggong Liu panicked, and hurriedly asked the two palace maids to go out and call the imperial doctor to come over, and hurriedly treat Zhao Kuo, Gao Huaiyuan saw this, so he took the initiative to withdraw from Zhao Kuo's dormitory and returned to the front of the main hall.

But as soon as he came out of the apse, he met Shi Miyuan and walked into the hall, and there were a few people who came with him, including both eunuchs and people who looked like imperial doctors, as soon as he saw Gao Huaiyuan in the hall, he immediately nodded and asked Gao Huaiyuan: "It turns out that Huaiyuan has arrived, very good!" Have you already arranged everything the old man told you? ”

Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly nodded and said, "Qi Yu Xiangye, the guards of Funing Palace have been arranged!" It turned out that Zhao Benshi, the guard of Funing Palace, intended to assassinate the lower official, and he had already been killed by the lower official on the spot, please rest assured! ”

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Shi Miyuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "General Gao really did something to make the old man very relieved, you can retreat, and no guards must be left in the palace, so as not to disturb the dragon body!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan glanced at Shi Miyuan, knowing that he was afraid that this old guy was about to make a move, so he immediately bowed down and withdrew from Funing Palace, and temporarily transferred the guards of Funing Palace to the outside of the palace, and surrounded Funing Palace, while Shi Miyuan immediately entered the apse with a few entourage.

Gao Huaiyuan didn't dare to sleep this night, but in order to avoid suspicion, the death of Zhao Kuo in the province was relied on by him, so after he arranged the guarding of Funing Palace, he immediately went out of the palace and returned to the Yiwang Mansion, sitting alone in a side room, but he was always paying attention to all the movements in the palace, and Li Ruohu, who he left, was ordered to be the first to pass back the major events that happened in the palace, so he sat in the house until dawn, just when he was reading by candlelight to pass the boring time, Finally, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Lord Qiyu, someone came from the palace, saying that Shi Xiang sent someone to ask the lord to escort Cheng Guogong to the palace!" A guard ran into Gao Huaiyuan's room and whispered to Gao Huaiyuan.

When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he immediately stood up and immediately asked, "Who is the one who came to pass the message?" ”

The guard replied, "The deacon of the palace, and now he is in the antechamber!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan asked again: "So is there any news from the palace?" ”

The guard shook his head and said, "No! ……”

Before he could finish his words, another guard ran in again and whispered, "Lord Qiyu, Vice General Li has sent someone back!" ”

"Quick!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately shouted.

Not long after, a personal soldier under Li Ruohu ran in and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Lord Qiyu, the Holy Lord has died!" ”

After Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he immediately determined that Zhao Kuo must have died in the hands of Shi Miyuan this time, this guy absolutely can't allow Zhao Kuo to wake up again, success or failure can be decided in one day today, so he immediately went out of the house, and first saw the eunuch who came out of the palace to report the news, this person is the Liu Gonggong that Gao Huaiyuan saw last night.

As soon as Gonggong Liu saw Gao Huaiyuan, he hurriedly bowed down and said in his sharp voice: "The slave has seen Master Gao, and the slave was specially instructed by Shi Xiang to come here to welcome Chengguo Gong into the palace!" ”

After Gao Huaiyuan said his hard work, he asked Gonggong Liu: "Daguan Liu! Do you remember how Xiangye commanded him? ”

Gonggong Liu was very frightened at this time, with a nervous look on his face, and replied in a low voice: "Back to Lord Gao's words, Xiangye said that now it is the prince of Yijinghui Mansion (referring to Zhao Yun), not the prince of Long Live Lane (referring to Zhao Hong), if you take it wrong, you will be beheaded." So the slave didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately left the palace and came here! I happened to meet Mr. Gao, please pass on the word to Cheng Guogong on my behalf! ”

Gao Huaiyuan then led people to the outside of Zhao Yuju's dormitory, and personally stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Guogong!" It's time to get up! The lower official was ordered to escort the prince into the palace! ”

At this time, the door of the house was quickly opened from the inside, and Gui Cheng stood barefoot in a small coat at the door, and asked eagerly, "But now?" ”

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Yes!" Please take a shower and change clothes immediately! ”

Guicheng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart anymore, and immediately asked Gao Huaiyuan to enter the house and close the door and said, "Are you saying that Shi Miyuan wants to help me ascend to the Great Treasure today?" ”

Gao Huaiyuan looked at Guicheng's excited expression and nodded slightly, but still gave him a preventive injection and said: "Don't be happy with Guogong first, even if you are now a big treasure, I'm afraid you have to be at the mercy of Shi Miyuan, and I hope Guogong won't be too happy, it's better to be calm!" ”

Listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, it was undoubtedly equivalent to pouring another basin of cold water on Guicheng's head, which suddenly made him sober up, and nodded a little embarrassedly: "What you reminded me is that it seems that I am too excited!" ”

"It doesn't matter! As long as Guogong can ascend to the great treasure, then things will be easy to say in the future! With the assistance of the lower officials, sooner or later the prince will be able to take charge of the imperial power! Let's ask Guogong to change clothes quickly! So as not to leak the news! Gao Huaiyuan appeased Guicheng again and urged.

Guicheng's entire dressing process was only a short time to change incense, and then under Gao Huaiyuan's personal escort, he went all the way to the palace, and Guicheng sat in the sedan chair, feeling quite uneasy, and from time to time he would stick his head out and see where he was.
