Chapter 103: The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken
The news of Zhao Heng, the Zen position of Song Huizong, immediately spread all over the country. The princes and feudal officials from all over the country left for the capital very early.
After all, this is a very influential thing, and it is good to have a good relationship with the emperor, and when Song Huizong burps, they will all benefit. The key is that this matter was decided by Song Huizong himself, and having a good relationship with Zhao Heng is also a good relationship with him Song Huizong.
Prince's Mansion.
Zhao Heng looked at the old man of the sect with a gloomy face: "Isn't there any news yet?" ”
He had been waiting for the news that the killer sent out had assassinated Zhao Chenggong, but it was clear that he was just waiting.
The old man said with a relaxed face: "Your Highness, the people sent out this time are the top masters in the sect, before you start, counting the time for preparation, it is estimated that there will be results in about two days today and tomorrow." Tomorrow is the auspicious day for His Highness to ascend to the Great Treasure, and I believe that when the time comes, this news will appear in front of His Highness as a surprise like gifts from the princes and the feudal officials from all over the country. ”
He packed the ticket, which made Zhao Heng's face relax, and then a gaze shot at the old man: "Then I'll wait for tomorrow, what is the result, everything is understood." ”
At this time, Zhao Gou on the other side also entered the capital. The scenery of the capital is displayed in front of me, and this is the first time to return to the capital after leaving.
But they didn't go in the direction of King Kang's Mansion, but went directly to Yaohua Palace.
Yaohua Palace is the place where the concubines who were beaten into the cold palace often lived.
The group lived in the inn, and after Zhao Gou settled down, he came out of the inn and went to Yaohua Palace alone. Along the way, I saw that the palace people and the feudal officials from all over the country were as busy and lively as the New Year, preparing for Zhao Heng's enthronement ceremony tomorrow.
Zhao Gou thought to himself, at this moment, Zhao Heng probably couldn't wait to hear the news of the king's killing reach the capital.
In the Yaohua Palace.
Zhao Gou stood respectfully in front of Concubine Wei.
As Zhao Gou's surprise, Concubine Wei was even older and more desolate than last year, without a trace of ruddy on her complexion, and she was obviously wronged.
Zhao Gou's feelings for her at this moment are not so much affection for her mother, but pity for an old man who has lost power.
After all, the person in front of him, who is in his forties and looks old, really cares about Zhao Gou and cares about Zhao Gou.
In the power struggle of swords and swords, this warmth alone is already precious.
At this moment, Concubine Wei looked at Zhao Gou, her eyes were just tears, she obviously had a thousand words, but there were only three words on her lips: "My son!" ”
"Mother, you've lost weight. This time, I came with gold, silver, and rare materials for health preservation, and ordered people to move into the palace at night. ”
At this moment, Concubine Wei has already revealed the second half of her life, and her miserable appearance makes even Zhao Gou feel sad.
"As soon as you led the troops to fight, I thought I would never have a chance to meet again, just some time ago, Liang Hongyu was ordered to come to see me, and I only knew something. Last time I heard that you were missing, I asked Empress Meng to visit you, and you must have met. It's just that she's always been elusive, and I don't know where she is at the moment. ”
"Is she really Queen Meng?" In fact, Liang Hongyu had already told him the mysterious identity of Empress Meng.
Concubine Wei seemed to have discovered something, her expression was a little intriguing, and she changed her majestic tone and said, "The queen is the queen, and the queen of Emperor Zhezong is also the queen." ”
She thought that Zhao Gou must have decided that she would not move Empress Meng.
It turned out that after the death of Emperor Shenzong of the Song State, he passed the throne to his son Song Zhezong, who died at a young age and had no heirs, so he passed the throne to his younger brother Song Huizong. Count it up, this Empress Meng Hashi is his aunt of Zhao Gou. And he also said that he would marry her as his wife in front of Concubine Wei, and if Concubine Wei knew about it, she would probably be angry on the spot.
Concubine Wei continued: "Although Empress Meng has a noble status, she has an excellent relationship with me, and he is an idle person who has the means, unlike people like me, who give up on himself. So I asked her to come forward and inquire about your whereabouts, and she also said that if you Zhao Gou really has the ability and is worthy of her help, she will give you a big surprise. ”
"It is said that the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, which sounds rough, but in fact, this is the truth. When Emperor Zhezong was alive, he entered the cold palace and remained a widow until now. Speaking of which, she and I are connected to the same fate. ”
"No matter where you go in the future, no matter how mixed you go, you must treat your aunt as you did to me."
It's over, this time it's completely out of the show, Concubine Wei really means this, there is destined to be an unbridgeable gap between him and Queen Meng.
At the beginning, Empress Meng never revealed her identity and asked Zhao Gou to apologize to her, but now it seems that it is very polite to just let him apologize.
Suddenly, a palace maid came in and said, "Niangniang, Queen Meng is here to see." ”
Speak of the devil. In fact, Zhao Gou knew Empress Meng's whereabouts in advance through the piece of jade given to Empress Meng, and it was almost certain that the amazing treasure she said had already been obtained.
Hearing this, the tears on Concubine Wei's face had not yet dried, so she became happy, took two steps out, and then said, "Hurry up and let her come in and talk." ”
Turning his face and saying to Zhao Gou, "You go back and wait for a while, and I will formally introduce you later." ”
Zhao Gou was a little distracted, went in in a panic, and hid.
"Sister, have you always been good?" Empress Meng spoke, with the joy of reunion after a long absence on her face.
"It's all good, I've troubled you along the way. Zhao Gou sent someone over and told me all about the situation, and I already knew the details. ”
This time, Empress Meng was stunned for a few seconds, and asked in disbelief: "Has Zhao Gou sent someone here?" ”
"Hmmm! If it weren't for you in the past, it is estimated that this Zhao Gou would not have this mind, whether he is dead or alive and will not give me a letter, now it's okay, this child must have been beaten by you before he changed his sex. ”
"He's on the front line, he's busy, and he won't tell you unless there's very big news, so you won't be afraid. I guess it's this mind. ”
Concubine Wei smiled and said, "You still know how to speak, but you defend Zhao Gou everywhere." But you're here at the right time. Tomorrow is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and the court has not yet been announced, and we don't know whether to prepare for it. What do you mean? ”
Empress Meng snorted and said, "I'm afraid that no matter how much you prepare, it's just a hot face and a cold ass, so why bother about this matter?" ”
Concubine Wei said: "Sister, do you tell me that this Zhao Gou has the ability to stand?" The crown prince will become the emperor tomorrow, and if he is targeted in the future, he will be in danger. ”
Empress Meng suddenly laughed for a while, and then said: "This Zhao Gou is not small, he just likes to talk big. ”
At the beginning, the crown prince was worried that he would threaten his throne, so he guarded against him everywhere, and even gave him such a dangerous errand as Liangshanbo. But soon the crown prince became the emperor, and there was no point in dealing with him. ”
"Besides, whether it is the new emperor or the eighth prince, they are all on the boat of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are all doing things for the emperor, even if there is a contradiction, it will not be life-or-death."
Empress Meng's words seem to come easily, but they are actually rich in content.
Empress Meng said that he was not small, half of which was said by his true strength, and the other half was by the matter of the princess of the Western Xia Kingdom.
Empress Meng would not know the true identity of King Li Huan, and she knew that she had actually been married to Zhao Heng by Daxia Xu, that is, the current crown prince who would become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty tomorrow.
If it was before, even if he gave Zhao Gou a hundred guts, he would not dare to break ground on the prince's head, let alone rob the prince's things.
Isn't this capable, what is it?
As for talking big, it probably means that she is going to marry her.
Concubine Wei said with some relief: "What you said is so good, now I am relieved." Their brothers are harmonious, so I don't have to worry. When Zhao Gou marries, I will be blind even if I die. Actually, I don't want him to marry any prince and noble woman, as long as he really likes it, even if it is an ordinary woman, I am willing. ”
After Concubine Wei finished speaking, her face was full of aftertaste, as if she had seen the picture of her children and grandchildren full of children, and she stopped talking.
"For such a thing as marrying Zhao Gou, I'm afraid I don't need to trouble you." I don't know why, Queen Meng still said this.
She didn't know what the meaning of saying it was. Even if Concubine Wei wanted to interfere in Zhao Gou's family affairs, there was no place for her to interfere.
In fact, Concubine Wei was already very satisfied and happy at this time, and whatever she said about Empress Meng was just a snake to add to it.
Still, she said.
This sentence really aroused Concubine Wei's question: "You mean, he already has a sweetheart?" ”
Empress Meng shouted regret, she really shouldn't have said the stupid and unnecessary words just now.
She was also surprised that she occasionally lost her sense of proportion, especially when she heard Zhao Gou's two words, it was like a pool of water, and suddenly a stone was thrown into it.
Under Concubine Wei's questioning, she didn't know what to say.
said that Zhao Gou already had the princess of the Western Xia Kingdom, which would definitely cause a shadow in Concubine Wei's heart.
Saying that Zhao Gou doesn't have a sweetheart yet is obviously completely contrary to Concubine Wei's happy mood at the moment.
At this moment, Empress Meng's face was a little hot, but it was only for a moment, and she immediately found a way to crack it: "Zhao Gou's ability is not to mention, a face is still very likable, this is the person who lit the lamp in front of the Buddha, what are you afraid of?" ”
After saying a word, Concubine Wei was really even happier.
