Chapter 889: Battle in the Palace I
readx;
This night, I don't know how many people tossed and turned, on a hot night, the full moon was in the sky, the insects were singing, and the lights of the major mansions were faintly flashing, the lights were faintly dim, and there was a faint hint of irritability. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo..
After Shen Ao arrived in Beijing, he lived alone in the empty backyard, and most of the servants in the mansion were gone, and only a few old servants took care of him. Fortunately, there is a team of guards outside, and every few hours, there are always teams of guards walking over, but they don't look lonely.
Shen Ao sat alone in the study, looking very quiet, the candle flame flickered, illuminating him a little drowsy, but he wanted to sleep, but he was a little annoyed.
Zhao Heng actually issued an edict of guilt, and hurriedly announced his mistakes, announcing his mistakes, and his words were sincere even to the point of being inferior, this edict of guilt may not be ineffective, but in Shen Ao's opinion, the edict of guilt is inevitably a little ridiculous. After the edict of sin, Zhao Huan ran to the Taimiao in a hurry, looking sincerely repentant, as if he was acting in a drama.
Zhao Huan was very straightforward with the information that Shen Ao came out, he wanted to live, he wanted to keep the throne, no matter how much water the throne was, he was willing to be a son of heaven who was set aside.
Shen Ao read the book for a while, but in fact, what he was thinking about was this ridiculous scene, becoming a king and defeating a villain, this sentence is not bad, but the winner must be Shuntian, and how many losers are tenable? Therefore, the one who obeys the order is successful, just like Shen Ao, who entered Beijing to crush Zhao Huan as an auxiliary king, not only how many people under his wings are willing to serve him, but because he represents the interests of the majority, and the lives of countless people are maintained on him alone, if he does not succeed, countless people will be sued for bankruptcy, countless people have no bright future, countless people are deposed, and countless people fall to the ground.
Zhao Heng still didn't think that this was no longer a simple dispute of grievances, but the emerging interests represented by Shen Ao, the confrontation with his old-style interests, and what was even funnier was that the representatives of the old-style interests who should have stood on Zhao Huan's side, those princes and nobles, were actually imperceptibly taking benefits from this emerging interests and becoming Shen Ao's pawns. It's not that Shen Ao wants to let him go, although Shen Ao wants to kill him quickly, but even if Shen Ao wants to protect his throne, he is afraid that behind Shen Ao, those who are secretly fueling the troubles, and those who are running around will never rest assured that this person will continue to be above the clouds, Zhao Huan will be in one day, not only tonight, but countless nights in the future, there will still be countless people who are unwilling to eat and sleep restlessly.
Shen Ao was absentmindedly flipping through the book, and he didn't know what time it was, there was a low knock on the door outside, and Zhou Heng said outside: "Your Highness, have you slept?" β
Shen Ao shouted, "Come in." β
The door of the study was gently pushed open, and Zhou Heng flashed in, and said with a smile: "Your Highness works so hard, you haven't slept so late?" β
Shen Ao put down the book and said with a smile: "In the middle of the night, I broke into a single man's room, what are you going to do?" β
Zhou Hengda shouted: "Because I am my brother-in-law, can I succeed?" β
Shen Ao thought about it and smiled: "Okay, it's passed." β
Zhou Heng got up seriously and said, "Your Highness, there is news that came from Li Bangyan's house just now, that Li Bangyan committed suicide. β
When Shen Ao heard the news, he didn't feel strange, but said, "It's time for him to die." β
Zhou Heng said: "Those who died with him, as well as his two sons, also committed suicide by hanging beams. β
Shen Ao nodded and said, "I understand." β
Zhou Heng was confused: "What does His Highness understand?" β
Shen Ao smiled and said: "His sin should have been the Zhulian Nine Clan, and now he committed suicide with his son, this is to make a decision, to protect the entire Li family, if the son dies, isn't there still a grandson?" That's it, since he has self-knowledge, let's keep a little bit of his blood, things have come to this point, he can make up his mind, if I kill them all again, it will inevitably be narrow-minded. β
Zhou Heng said confusedly: "Can you reveal so many things from your own suicide?" β
Shen Ao said: "When people reach a point, why do their words and deeds attract attention? Because his words and deeds will reveal information, and if he can figure it out, then it will be promising. β
Zhou Heng sighed and said, "It's really tiring for people who have reached the point of His Highness to live. β
Shen Ao smiled: "So the gentleman works hard, and the person works, isn't it?" β
Zhou Heng shouted: "Your Highness is scolding me again." β
Shen Ao tightened his face and said, "I didn't scold." β
"And I scolded."
Being so troubled by Zhou Heng, Shen Ao really made a mistake, yawned, took a nap in the study, and when it was time to arrive, Zhou Heng came to call him again, Shen Ao bathed and changed clothes, changed into a new uniform, personally prepared the horse, and led a team of captains out of the door in this foggy morning.
The palace city is shrouded in a white mist, revealing an incomprehensible majesty, the red palace wall will block the palace inside and outside the palace, and when you enter the palace, it will become another world, there are flowers, there is great wealth and glory, but also hatred, there is killing, there are fathers and sons are incompatible, and there are brothers who can kill each other.
There are always scenes of life-and-death warrants staged here, and the people who live here never seem to know compromise; Compromise is just the hope of the cowardly.
This side of the palace gate, has been full of sedan chairs, dazzling, Zhengde Gate has opened on time, out of the palace gate is not the guards, but a team of captains, everyone has seen, there seems to be nothing wrong, although there is an inner Shi please go in, but everyone is like an appointment, no one will go in.
The bigwigs are still sitting in the sedan chair, waiting for something. Ordinary court officials whispered in groups, their eyes looking at the end of the misty street from time to time.
Everyone had a tacit understanding, and it wasn't until Shen Ao came over with the guards that the crowd began to move, Shen Ao got off the horse, and the first person led the way into the palace, followed by Yang Zhen and others, and finally everyone rushed in.
Speaking of the empty dΓ ngdΓ ng in the martial arts hall, when Shen Ao entered, Zhao Heng was already sitting on the throne, and when he saw Shen Ao for the first time, Zhao Huan's heart couldn't help but rise, early this morning, he also received the news that Li Bangyan and Li Zhongshu really committed suicide, this time, Zhao Huan panicked. And now, even the guards in the palace have been replaced by captains, and Zhao Huan already feels that he has become a fish on the board, and he has been slaughtered at will with this surnamed Shen.
Zhao Huan finally cheered up some spirits, no matter what, he is still the emperor, he is the Son of Heaven, since ancient times, the courtiers who deposed the Son of Heaven are unpopular, they must not die well, the surname Shen will not be taken into account, as long as he is still wearing this gown, with this crown, Zhao Huan feels that he does not have anything to fear, he sits firmly on the throne, staring at Shen Ao, may as well Shen Ao also raised his head and looked directly at him, such eyes, as if it was not Zhao Heng looking at Shen Ao condescendingly, but Shen Ao forced him to look at him naked.
Zhao Heng was a little frustrated and annoyed in his heart, but he was helpless, he sensed a trace of coldness, a trace of hatred and mockery from Shen Ao's gaze. This complicated look made Zhao Huan can't help but shiver, and then he strengthened his spirit and let himself no longer pay attention to this traitor.
"If I want to live, I am still the Son of Heaven, and I must not ...... This man must not be allowed to succeed. Zhao Heng came up with this thought.
The ministers also came in in hustle, headed by Yang Zhen, saluted Zhao Heng, and said together: "See Your Majesty." β
The ministers bowed down violently. This gift made Zhao Huan's heart ignite a little hope, and seeing the hundred officials kneeling under the black pressure, Zhao Heng thought to himself: "No matter what, I am still the emperor, don't you want to obediently bow to me?" But when Zhao Heng searched for Shen Ao, he found that in the hall, Shen Ao was the only one standing still, Shen Ao did not kneel, and his face was still mocking.
Zhao Heng was furious at first, and then he was a little uneasy, this was a signal, which made Zhao Heng can't help but think about what this surnamed Shen was going to do, did he really want to kill the king?
Zhao Heng said as calmly as possible: "If there is something to do, play early, and retreat from the dynasty if there is nothing." β
The officials stood up, and Yang Zhen took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, Menxia Province received news yesterday that the Jingzhou River embankment burst, flooding the three counties, and hundreds of thousands of people were affected. β
At this time, it is the summer news period, there are floods almost every few days, especially the land of two rivers and two rivers, but it is also commonplace, in other words, everyone is still the same, and then follow the step-by-step, how to do it, no matter whether the disaster can be alleviated or not, at least the imperial court will also come up with some disaster food, but Zhao Huan listened, but did not express his position, but said to Shen Ao: "What does Shen Aiqing think?" β
Shen Ao said lightly: "Jingzhou has always been flooded, relief is the surface, but repairing the river embankment is the foundation, if the imperial court can't do both, year after year relief is not a way, it is better to let the household department allocate money and grain relief first, and then let the Ministry of Industry supervise the river work." β
"Reasonable, this is the words of seeking the country." Zhao Huanlu was overjoyed and said, "Just do it according to the auxiliary king, and follow this proposed will." β
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu stood up and said: "The Ministry of Industry has not repaired, but the water flow in Jingzhou is more urgent, if it is just an ordinary repair, it often collapses in the coming year, and the river is nothing more than two measures to block and sparse, if it is to be blocked, I am afraid that it may not be effective, and the Ministry of Industry has also drawn up a charter, and they all think that only dredging is the root cause." β
Zhao Huan couldn't help but say: "Since this is the case, then dredge it." β
As soon as Zhao Huan's words fell, almost everyone looked at Zhao Heng with a neurotic look, even Shen Ao was no exception, his words were light, but it was like a sentence that could solve the problem, the charter of the Ministry of Industry had already been drawn up, why did he refuse, it was naturally because there was more trouble behind this dredging.
Seeing this, Zhao Heng couldn't help asking, "What?" Am I wrong? β
