Chapter 091: The Line Between Life and Death

Empress Dowager Xiang asked the guards to guard the palace door, resolutely not letting Zhang Dian enter the palace for a step, Yang Yi went up to grab him, and said softly: "Zhang Xianggong, it's useless, unless Your Majesty wakes up, I'm afraid it's impossible for us to go in." ”

Zhang Dan's face was so cold that he could scrape off a layer of ice, and when he saw that it was Yang Yi coming, he just nodded slightly, and then said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Yang Xiaoli's medical skills are exquisite, and the Queen Mother doesn't let the old minister in, so let Yang Xiaoli go in to diagnose and treat together, it's good to have a little more hope!" ”

Xiang Houtai immediately vetoed with a cold face: "No need, the imperial doctors in the palace are all in the palace, the current physical condition of the official family has been slightly stable, too many people go in but it is easy to shock the official family, it is late at night, the two prime ministers should go back to the house first and wait for the news!" ”

Where is Zhang Dian willing to go, Su Song is the right servant of Shangshu, and it is impossible to leave at this time, Yang Yi helped Su Song to sit in the corridor at the edge of the hall, and the three of them were silent.

It was a heavy night, and the fate of the new party and the old party depended on whether the person in the hall could survive this hurdle.

Yang Yi didn't know what Zhao Xu died of in the original history, if it wasn't for his sudden death, the inner court would have been controlled by the Empress Dowager Xiang at that time, because Zhao Xu also had a younger brother who was a fellow mother, and he didn't have time to leave an edict of succession to let his younger brother ascend the throne smoothly, and finally cheapened Zhao Ji, a frivolous guy.

The solemn atmosphere in front of Baowen Pavilion made most people feel breathless, Yang Yi and Zhang Dian glanced at each other from time to time, Yang Yi asked Zhang Dian to inform Zhang Dian as soon as possible, that is, he hoped that he would first greet Cai Jing, Zhang Shangying and others, and unify the voice, in case the most unfortunate thing happened, the first thing was to grab the merit of support!

In any case, be sure to grab it! Otherwise, the new party will die a terrible death.

As long as everyone agrees and the Queen Mother is weak, the hope is still very great.

In addition to Zhao Xu, Emperor Shenzong still has five surviving sons, namely the ninth son Zhao Yan, the eleventh son Zhao Ji, the twelfth son Zhao Ma, the thirteenth son Zhao Yi, and the fourteenth son Zhao Si. Among them, thirteen sons are Zhao Xu's mother and brother, both born to Concubine Zhu.

Now the key is that Zhao seems to be too young to immediately pro-government, once he is established, who will assist him?

If there is no Zhao Xuqin's order, the auxiliary power will fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiang, which is also very passive for the new party.

Zhang Yi's face was cold, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, but Yang Yi could understand what kind of pressure and mental torment he was undergoing at this moment, and Yang Yi's heart calmed down at the moment, the matter has come to this, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

However, as time passed, Yang Yi's heart became more and more uneasy, every time the imperial doctor came out of the palace, Yang Yi stepped forward to ask Zhao Xu's situation, this critical moment, as long as Zhao Xu can be awake for a moment, it is also precious, but the imperial doctor who came out was tight-lipped and never said much, which made Yang Yi extremely indignant;

But at this moment, in Baowen Pavilion, rows of swords and guns are unsheathed, waiting for them, who dares to move?

Yang Yi and Zhang Dian found Concubine Zhu, hoping that he could come forward to say something and let Yang Yi enter the palace, but this weak woman, except for washing her face with tears, she couldn't be the master at all, and she didn't even dare to say a superfluous word.

Empress Dowager Xiang sat in the front hall of Baowen Pavilion, she also had a feeling of being out of breath, things came too suddenly, and she was not prepared at all. The Great Song Dynasty has a brother and a brother who said that if the new party in charge of the court used this as a reason to unanimously support Zhao Ru to succeed to the throne, she may not be able to oppose it alone.

The Empress Dowager wanted to find someone to discuss countermeasures, but after several cleanups of the old party, there was not even a person of enough weight left in Beijing, and she really couldn't find a suitable minister of the old party to support the scene.

Empress Dowager Xiang has no experience in dealing with court affairs, although she is trying her best to show herself calm on her face at this moment, she is at a loss in her heart, and she is at a loss except to defend this Baowen Pavilion to the death. …,

This is the only position where she must fight for every inch of land and will never retreat! Hold here! Hold on here no matter what!

The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and they pressed towards the palace heavily, adding endless depression to the already heavy atmosphere, and people seemed to be unable to bear this heavy pressure, and their chests were about to explode.

Tokyo is a city that never sleeps, there is no curfew, and outside the Imperial Palace, horse-drawn carriages fly through the heavy streets in the night, but the clattering hooves of horses are powerless to knock away the thick clouds in the sky.

The lights of the high-gate mansions were lit one after another, and the lanterns exuded a strange light, but they could not illuminate the deep darkness of the night.

The side door of Cai Jing's mansion was like a giant beast's open mouth, devouring the carriages that flew in, Zhang Shangying, Cai Bian, Li Qingchen, Zeng Bu, Huang Lu, Lin Xi, He Shikuan and others, all with gloomy faces and ice bursting!

Now everyone is a melon on a vine, unless you betray, you can't run away from me, but before Zhao Xu's life and death are confirmed, who dares to betray?

Under the leadership of the Cai family, everyone walked quickly to Cai Jing's study. The door of the study slammed shut, the lights inside were dim, and the outside was guarded by guards, and no one knew what was being discussed inside!

Zhang Dian outside the Baowen Pavilion has settled down like an old monk at this moment, sitting there is like an angular statue, everything that can be done has been done, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and the only thing that can be done now is to wait!

Waiting for fate, waiting for the hammer of heaven to fall!

Yang Yi was also sitting, and lightning bolts split into the sky behind him, making him look like the peaks that stood there when the world was opened, and his eyes condensed into two cold rays, as if he could pierce everything at any time!

He was on the side of the cold palace, not only did he want the lower half of his body to be happy, but when he galloped on Liu Jieyu's bewitching jade body, he explained it clearly, once Zhao Xu died, even if he planted a blame and made something out of nothing, he did everything possible to knock the Queen Mother to the ground; This requires the cooperation of Jiao Shou, Liu Ying and others, which is not a problem;

Last time there were leeks in Zhao Xu's meal, I haven't found out who instigated it, if there is a witch Gu or something in Zhao Xu's room at this time, as long as it is well arranged, to the Queen Mother! Maybe there will be a time when you can't argue.

All of this needs to wait for Zhao Xu to have a conclusion on life and death!

Because, this is a matter of taking his life to Bo, if Zhao Xu does not die, there is no need to take this risk.

At the fifth watch, a heavy rain poured down, bringing a chill.

"The official family is awake, the official family is awake!"

At this moment, two suppressed and excited voices came from the Baowen Pavilion, and the Empress Dowager Xiang walked quickly from the front hall into the apse, her face was full of joy, but it was difficult to say what it was like in her heart.

Zhang Dun, Su Song and Yang Yi stood up one after another, and soon, Jiao Shou, who had never seen anyone, came out of the hall, and Xuan Zhangdun and the three entered the hall to meet him.

In the Baowen Pavilion, Zhao Xu's cheeks were deep, his face was pale, and his weakness was like a broken candle in the wind, and the flame of life was shaking, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

After Yang Yi and the others came in, Zhao Xu said that he was okay and asked Empress Dowager Xiang and others to go back to rest first; The Empress Dowager Xiang was reluctant to go away, but Zhao Xu had a resolute attitude on the grounds that she had political affairs to explain, and the Empress Dowager Xiang had to take someone out.

Zhang Yi immediately signaled to Yang Yi, Yang Yi squeezed away a few imperial doctors, stepped forward to check Zhao Xu's pulse, he pressed his two fingers on Zhao Xu's pulse, but he could hardly feel Zhao Xu's pulse, and the pulse was extremely chaotic, this is a serious yang loss and yin loss, now in addition to slowly recuperating, there is no other way, the problem is that Zhao Xu's qi and blood loss is serious, he doesn't like to make up, how long can he last, what the consequences are, it is impossible to determine at all.

Yang Yi finished the pulse, and looked at the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctor, all of them were some flat tonic medicines, and he felt that there was no problem, so he didn't say anything anymore, to be honest, it was best if he didn't have to prescribe his own prescription when this ghost time. …,

The hall was so quiet that it was audible that the needles were falling, and at this moment, Zhao Xu said weakly: "Zhao Xiang, the king of Lipuning County!" ”

Indeed, this voice was extremely weak, but it made those present feel like they were shocked!

Led by Zhang Dan, the three of them knelt down in front of Zhao Xu's bed, and Zhang Duan asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, who will listen to the government?" ”

This should not have been asked, but Zhang Dian still asked, now every word may be related to the fate of the Great Song Dynasty, and it must be asked clearly.

"Recruit Fan Chunren as Shangshu Zuocheng, and assist the government together with Zhang Xiang and Su Xiang, and the new law cannot be abolished!"

After saying these words, the weak Zhao Xu fell asleep.

After getting this will, Zhang Dian made up his mind a little, and the three of them retreated to the front hall to guard, until after the morning, Zhao Xu's body stabilized slightly, and the three of them left the palace.

The pressure on Yang He and Zhang Dian from this incident is like the top of Mount Tai, the arrival of the crisis is so sudden, and now whether Zhao Xu can get better is still uncertain, some things must be completed before Zhao Xu dies, must!

On the speeding carriage, Zhang Dian asked softly, "Has Ren Zhi ever heard of the nurse incident in the fourth year of Yuan You?" ”

Yang Yi was stunned at first, and couldn't help but think about it carefully, he had naturally heard of the nurse incident; In the fourth year of Yuanyou, the minister Liu Anshi happened to hear that someone in the palace quietly went to the people to find a nurse, and if the nurse wanted a baby, Liu Anshi seized this matter, and first asked the palace what to do with the nurse?

Gao Taotao did not reply at that time, but first found the palace maid beside Zhao Xu for interrogation.

When Liu Anshi, Fan Zuyu and others learned about it, they immediately pointed the finger at Zhao Xu, and they all went up to Zhao Xu to advise Zhao Xu not to indulge in women's sex, and finally this matter became known to everyone in the government and the opposition.

Gao Taotao had to come forward and gave the statement: The daughter left by Emperor Shenzong is still young and needs a nurse.

Everyone knows that Gao Tao is talking nonsense with his eyes open, Emperor Shenzong has been dead for many years, and his youngest daughter is Zhao Xu's half-sister Princess Qingguo, and Princess Qingguo was six years old at the time, do you still need to find a nurse?

If he was really looking for a nurse for Princess Qingguo, Gao Tao interrogated why the palace maid beside Zhao Xu came?

And what's even more strange is that Liu Anshi and others, who made the matter known to everyone, died down after getting Gao Taotao's ridiculous explanation.

This matter is obscure, and after Yang Yi thought about it, he felt that this matter could indeed be done.

At that time, Zhao Xu was only thirteen years old, and it was very doubtful whether he had the ability to 'commit crimes'!

Moreover, Gao Taotao took Zhao Xu to the court as an ornament during the day, and let Zhao Xu sleep in front of his bed at night, not letting him leave his sight for a moment, Zhao Xu lacked time to 'commit crimes'.

Even if Zhao Xu had the time to 'commit the crime', Gao Taotao monitored Zhao Xu so strictly, this child came out, and Gao Taotao couldn't have been unaware of it beforehand.

The most important point is that if this child is really born to Zhao Xu and the palace maid, then this child is a dragon species, and the official must record it afterwards anyway.

However, there is no official record of the child, let alone the child.

Based on these points, there is a good chance that Zhao Xu is wronged in this matter!

As we all know, there is only one man in the palace! If Zhao Xu was wronged, then whose child is this? Who dared to conceive a child in the palace without permission? Dare to give birth? Do you dare to quietly go to the people to find the nurse?

Ordinary palace maids and concubines, if they have an affair with a man outside the palace, they will not dare to be so unscrupulous, and they will not be able to go out to find a nurse, then this woman is a high-level figure in the palace, and it is impossible to talk about it in their seventies and eighties, so who is left with the greatest possibility?

This matter is all analysis and conjecture, there is no evidence!

But there are some things that don't need proof, and sometimes it's better to be filmed.

Yang Yi thought about this matter twice, but found another problem, so he said softly to Zhang Dian: "Zhang Xianggong, the matter involves royal privacy, and the details of this matter are not easy to verify with Your Majesty, the space that can be played is limited, at most, Liu Anshi, Fan Zuyu and others can be degraded again, and if you want to go deeper, I am afraid Your Majesty will not allow it." ”

"Why doesn't the old man know? It's just that this has come to this, and we can only give it a try! ”

Yang Yi is not opposed to doing this, we are not gentlemen, as long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't hurt to be flexible in our methods, Zhao Xu is seriously ill, and he is about to lose his breath, and now he is still pretending to be a righteous gentleman, which is tantamount to waiting for death, the problem is that he feels that there is limited room for use of this matter.

Sick? Sick? Yang Yi's heart suddenly moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Xianggong Zhang, during the Empress Dowager's serious illness, she couldn't see things for a few months, and His Majesty was not in charge of the government at that time, I have two questions, first, who is listening to the government during this time?" Second, why didn't you return to power at that time? ”

These are two fatal questions!

Zhang Dian listened to it and immediately thought deeply, and the light in his eyes became more and more vigorous!

Slowly, a grand plan quietly took shape in the whispers of the two.

Perhaps, this is the only chance to point the sword at the middle palace.
