However, how can such words be said openly in front of others.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng stepped forward and said: "The Queen Mother, good health, is naturally a good thing, the DPRK China is hard work, if you are weak and sick, it will be very hard." ”

Empress Dowager Yang twisted her eyebrows and said, "Zhao Zhu's body is very healthy!" ”

Speaking of which, the words went back to square one.

It's not that everyone is unwilling to obey Zhao Rui's edict, but over the years, they have learned a lot of lessons from him.

And the most important lesson is that if there is a sick emperor in the dynasty, and if something happens to that emperor, what terrible consequences will it cause in the court.

Not to mention the side, just for the sake of the heirs of the former emperor, I don't know how many medical officials' heads have been white.

However, Empress Dowager Yang insisted on going her own way.

In the past, the Yang family had selected many candidates for her, and asked Yang Du to bring the list into the palace, so Zhang Bi broke it because of this incident, and she suffered a lot in the end.

But those candidates on the list, looking back, none of them are as justifiable as Zhao Fang.

After all, it was the husband who chose it.

She might as well listen to her husband!

Zhao Rui said before she died that she had a way out. With the former emperor and wife for many years, Empress Dowager Yang thinks that she has no ability, except for being anxious on the side, she can't help much, and now, she is willing to believe her husband again.

"It is said that Zhao Fang is not in good health, but who said it?" Empress Dowager Yang asked puzzledly, "Have you all seen him and been with him all the time?" ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was playing tricks, the officials were a little speechless.

Do you want to reason with a woman who doesn't know anything?

Empress Dowager Yang is not like the Empress Dowager, she doesn't know anything, and she will catch some strange ideas. At this moment, she can't be forced to obey, it's really embarrassing.

"I haven't seen that Zhao Fang either, but since the first emperor has characteristics of him, with the first emperor being wise, naturally he will not pass on the throne to a sick person?" Empress Dowager Yang spoke seriously for her husband, "Since the first emperor ordered it, everyone has never seen it, why do all the officials refuse to agree?" Could it be that what the first emperor said was no longer counted? ”

The hall was silent.

The crowd was not speechless by her, but by her beating like this, and they were completely out of temper.

Why don't you ask Zhao Fang to succeed to the throne?

Are they refusing?

Obviously, it was decided by the person who was lying behind Empress Dowager Yang who had just lost his breath.

Although they pushed the boat along the river, if there was no idea from the Empress Dowager, how could it be so smooth?

But no matter what, Empress Dowager Yang spoke so hard, everyone still had to defend themselves.

Wu Yi, a scholar from Hanlin, stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, that Zhao Fang is far away in Qin, and may not be able to adapt to the water and soil in Beijing, although the first emperor has left an edict, but at this time and that time, if Zhao Fang is invited into Beijing now, once he arrives here, what is wrong, then the country will not be without ......a king for a day."

In and out of the words, they all decided that Zhao Fang was too weak and unfit to be the emperor.

Empress Dowager Yang heard his familiar voice, and the string in her head tightened, and she turned her head away.

Although she didn't know the other party's name, she had already remembered the other party's face.

This is the old man who first proposed to call Zhao Hao, the king of Ji, the emperor!

Dead old man!

Fuck off!

Although he came from a scholarly family, he generally grew up outside the palace, and when he was a daughter at home, he heard a few unbearable words, and when he saw Wu Yi's old face, he could hear him speak, and before anyone finished speaking, Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help but scold her mother in her heart.

She had already preconceived ideas, and she didn't need to listen to it anymore, she immediately interrupted: "This official, are you a medical officer from the Tai Hospital?" ”

Wu Yi's sentence "The country cannot be without a monarch for a day" has just been exported, and there is a long admonition to explain, and the splendid pearls in the belly were blocked back by the question of the Empress Dowager Yang.

He paused awkwardly and said, "The minister is a Hanlin master. ”

Empress Dowager Yang dragged a long tone, "oh", and said straightforwardly: "I thought that the official was a medical officer, but I was afraid that he had also diagnosed and treated Zhao Fang before, and he knew it so well in order to do so, as if he had seen it with his own eyes." ”

Wu Yi was so blocked that he couldn't say a word.

They all say that hair is long and knowledge is short, and that women have sharp mouths, which is really experience.

He wanted to reply dryly, "The minister has been familiar with medical books since he was a child", but before he could say it, Huang Zhaoliang on the side had already stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, what Wu Hanlin said, although it is exaggerated, it is not unreasonable, Qin Di is far away ......after all."

Huang Zhaoliang was talking here, standing next to the body of the Empress Dowager, Cui Yongchen, who was not far from the Empress Dowager Yang, raised his eyelids.

The Empress Dowager died, he lost his biggest backer, but between the grief, he heard the word "Qindi", and his brain that had been seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages for many years had reacted in an instant.

Cui Yongchen moved a few steps to the left without a trace, found a position that was not far or close, bowed down, and said softly: "The Queen Mother ......"

Empress Dowager Yang turned her head in surprise.

Cui Yongchen said: "Zhao Fang of the Qin Wang's family is in Beijing right now. ”

Empress Dowager Yang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" ”

She thought she had misheard.

Empress Dowager Yang's movement was so loud that everyone looked over and looked at the Huangmen who was quite eye-catching.

Cui Yongchen has been on errands under the Empress Dowager for many years, and has seen countless big scenes, so he is not afraid, but he raised his voice at the right time to let everyone near him hear it clearly.

"When the first emperor went, he had already sent someone to Qindi to pick up that Zhao Fang into Beijing, but there were many changes later, and when he entered Beijing, the new emperor had been decided, and the empress dowager took pity on his young age, so he made him temporarily live in the palace, and wanted to wait until the spring was warm, and then let him go back."

Cui Yongchen's words were full of inches.

He didn't mention anyone's wrongness, and even when he talked about Zhao Fang, he only said that he was young, not that he was weak.

There was a bit of buzz in the hall.

Huang Zhaoliang suffered a little when he landed.

Empress Dowager Yang didn't know about Zhao Fang's situation, because under the control of the Empress Dowager, she was not much different from being grounded, so naturally she had no access to information from the outside.

And Huang Zhaoliang didn't know, but it was because he really didn't have any children and grandchildren to study in Guozixue.

He was born in a family and has his own family studies, and even if he has no clan studies, he will also be sent to Taixue, no matter how bad it is, it will be various academies, and they will never let them go to the country where most of them are gentlemen to study.

The rest of the officials in the temple were also ordinary. is that there are occasionally two or three people who have their own heirs in Guozi Studies, but everyone is in charge of every day, how can they have the time to ask who is in the children's school and which one they are.

Since Zhao Fang was in Beijing, Empress Dowager Yang no longer cared about other people's words, and immediately said: "In this case, which palace does he live in?" Why can't you call it to take a look? ”

Cui Yongchen did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately said: "Because Zhao Fang is dedicated to learning, and there is no place to study in the palace, he invited himself to Guozi Middle School, and it has rained a lot recently, and he is afraid that it will be inconvenient to come and go, so he stays in it." ”

***

In Guozixue, Zhao Fang is copying books.

Most of the doctors here are officials concurrently, and many people are on the list of people who need to participate in the palace today, so they have to assign homework early, ask students to do it on their own, and explain it to the teaching and learning.

Mr. was not there, and there was already a lot of noise in the school, and everyone either took the slingshot out to play, or took the fragrant miscellaneous books bought outside and pointed at each other and laughed, and many of them slipped out directly, still not knowing where to go.

Zhao Fang copied it slowly, but he was not lazy, but when he got closer, he could see that he was actually distracted.

On the table next to him, Zhang Bi was bored with a pen and drawing circles on the paper.

Zhao Fang looked like he was copying books, but in fact, half of his mind was on Zhang Bi.

On the surface, it was Zhang Bi who took care of him as a younger brother, but in fact, he learned to treat himself as a younger brother in the past, and took care of the other party as a younger brother.

Seeing that the other party was sullenly drawing circles on the paper for a long time, without saying a word, Zhao Fang was a little anxious, so he put down the pen in his hand, moved the chair under his seat, and asked, "Zhang Bi, do you want to go out to play?" ”

Zhao Fang never wanted to do such a thing, one is that he is not liked, once he skips school too much, he will not like it, and his life will be even more sad; Second, he and Zhang Bi are very close, if they skip school with each other, so that Zhang Hu knows, I am afraid that he will not let himself have anything to do with his brother again.

However, seeing that Zhang Bi had been sad for many days and had no energy, he couldn't help but come over.

Zhang Bi shook his head and did not speak.

Zhao Fang thought for a while, and then said, "Don't you always think about the birds in that sister's house, why don't we go to her house to watch the birds together?" ”

Zhang Bi's head shook even more, and he spit out two words unhappily, saying, "Don't go." ”

Zhao Fang suddenly had no moves.

He knew why Zhang Bi was unhappy.

A while ago, his brother went to control the water, Zhang Bi came back and shouted that he wanted to go to Xinzhengmen to see his brother pass the canal, as the days got closer and closer, he even thought about pulling Zhao Fang out to see the dredging of the Junchuan River, and he was elated every day.

However, when the Junchuan was very useless in front of everyone, and it happened to encounter a huge flood and swept away several people, Zhang Bi's face lost its luster.

Everyone in Guozixue knows Zhang Bi's identity and doesn't dare to say it to his face, but behind his back, he can't talk about Zhang Hu who is worthy of his name, and he acts very indiscriminately.

However, a lesson is a lesson after all, Zhang Bi is already sensible at this time, he can listen to the words of others, and he can see someone judge, and he is also smart himself, so he can more or less distinguish between right and wrong.

It's just that who wants to admit that their closest relatives are really incompetent people who act recklessly?

Zhao Fang didn't know how to comfort him, so he chose to choose and choose, and chose the stupidest way, and said directly: "Where in the world are people who do well all the time?" Didn't Mr. say that people are like tides, with ups and downs? Although the eldest uncle did not make great contributions this time, he also worked very hard, and he originally did a lot of credit in Ganzhou, and it was not nonsense for others. ”

He didn't say this, but after saying this, Zhang Bi was even more unhappy, and he sat up all of a sudden and glared at him.

Zhao Fang was at a loss, he didn't know what he said wrong, so he had to apologize blindly again and again.

Zhang Bi said gloomily: "It has nothing to do with you...... Last time we went out to play, we heard someone talk on West Street, do you remember? ”

Since coming to Beijing, the few interesting things are only when he was with Zhang Bi, how could Zhao Fang not remember, so he said: "But the merchant who sells white wax?" ”

Zhang Bi said with a stagger: "He said that my father couldn't pick up ready-made ones well, and his son who couldn't complain about it was coaxed to buy some Junchuan loquat." ”

Zhao Fang heard these words, but he didn't think about Zhang Hu at all.

After all, he is a child who has only been in Beijing for a long time, and no one has taught him carefully, everything is groped by himself, so it is naturally impossible to know where Zhang Hu and Zhang Zhi have served in the past.

On that day, I heard the gossip of the businessman who sold white wax, claiming to be from Ganzhou, and boasting that there was a general judgment in the local area that there was nothing in the sky and on the earth. Now that I have a son who has become an official, I usually learn from my father, and I have to buy any messy flakes and nails.

Because of the "loquat" and "nail" that the person said, Zhao Fang didn't react at all, and he was talking about Junchuan loquat.

He was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say, so he hesitated for a while, and had to say: "He doesn't talk nonsense, let's ignore him, and besides, the eldest uncle won't act if he doesn't take it seriously, what if it will be done next time?" ”

He also said: "Besides, didn't Mr. say that this canal dredging has been going on for a hundred years, and it is difficult to deal with it from the past to the present, although the eldest uncle is powerful, he is not a fairy......

He said slowly: "There is another way, in the future, when you and I grow up, we will help clear the canal, if we can be better than the eldest uncle, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Zhao Fang doesn't talk much on weekdays, but today he rarely said such a long paragraph, although he didn't coax Zhang Bi well, he made him a little more comfortable, and said, "It seems to be the same." ”

Zhang Bi sat up, suddenly thought of today's day, and couldn't help asking: "Why didn't I ask you to go with me to worship the heavens in the palace today?" ”

Zhao Fang's face was as usual, and he opened his mouth, but he said, "Have you done the homework assigned by Mr. today?" ”

directly diverted the problem of Zhang Bi.

Zhang Bi's temperament was beating fast, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and when he heard Zhao Fang's reminder, he immediately shifted his attention, and hurriedly sat up straight to copy the book, leaving Zhao Fang alone with his head hanging and slowly moving the chair back.

He also wanted to ask, why didn't he call him in the palace to worship the heavens?

He also has the surname Zhao...... A civil and military official who doesn't do anything, and the gentleman in the school can go, why is he obviously a serious descendant of the Nanban lineage, but he can't even show his head?
