"Knock, knock, knock......"

The death knell echoed, the lanterns were removed one after another, and the joy accumulated at the beginning of the year was gone, and the whole Luoyang was immersed in grief.

On the day of the emperor's death, civil and military officials and all the common people were not allowed to have fun for 100 days, slaughtered for 50 days, and married for a month.

This means that the Luo Chao Spring Tournament must be stopped, and the opening of the World Money Bank cannot be promoted.

It doesn't matter if he loses some business, Song Che didn't plan to develop in Luoyang, what he was worried about was the new emperor's new policy, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the crown prince Zhao Sui ascended the throne, and Jia Taishi, who was his mentor, was very likely to return to Beijing to resume his post;

Although Jia Yong was killed by Yang Song, it has nothing to do with him anyway, and Jia Taishi, an old immortal thing, is very likely to deal with himself once he regains power

In short, this place in Luoyang should not stay for a long time.

But

There are still some worries to be had.

King Anyang has not returned to Beijing for a long time, the old emperor did not die, and he can still use 'business trip' as an excuse, but now that the new emperor is on the throne, if he does not return to the dynasty to mourn, he will sit down and rebel.

In fact, regardless of whether he has different intentions or not, since the moment he took the princess, the seeds of doubt have been planted in the prince's heart, and whether he returns to the court or not, the prince will not be able to keep him;

After ascending the throne, it is almost an imperial tradition to kill brothers and sisters first, and then punish the ministers of the old ministry.

Song Che didn't care what King Anyang was thinking, what he was concerned about was the heroic heroine with a sword in her hand and a silver whip.

Since he had Song Che's second woman, he seemed to have lifted the ban on desire, and he wanted a third, a fourth, and even more.

He is not a saint, he makes so much money, he should have a group of wives and concubines, and a full house of children and grandchildren.

"What's wrong with you these days? You had your eyes open when I went to sleep, and you still had your eyes open when I woke up, but don't tell me you're sad that the emperor is dead. ”

I couldn't sleep all night, and the person next to the pillow cared about greetings.

Song Che said softly: "The lantern has been rewarded, Luo Chao has seen it, the money village is open, and it is time to leave." ”

Shen Wenjun said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the second lunar month, and everyone should go home and be busy." ”

Song Che was silent, not knowing how to speak.

"You can't let go of some things, right?"

Shen Wenjun's eyes are clear, people who understand you will always understand your heart, she said softly: "I remember you said, 'The reason why people feel tired is because they are hovering between persistence and giving up', I am a stubborn person, if you ask my opinion, I will definitely tell you not to give up, because what can make you persist is not easy to come by." ”

Song Che had an inexhaustible feeling in his heart, hugged his beloved wife tightly, and said: "I, I want to go to the north to bring her home, she is very good at martial arts, if the kite hangs on the treetops and falls on the roof in the future, there will be no need to build a ladder again." ”

"How long are you going?"

"You don't say that you want to go to the southwest to participate in the 'Splendid Conference', before the summer season, I will return."

"Aunt Song's reputation has always been excellent, so let's allow it."

"Miss Shen is open-minded and generous, and she should be rewarded."

I remember every bit of you.

I share my sorrows with you.

Knowing your lover is nothing more than this.

……

In the spring of the seventeenth year of Yong'an, Emperor Jing Zhao Chong died.

The crown prince Zhao Sui should be enthroned before the edict, changed the year name to Jianxing, and mourned the whole country for 27 days.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

Song Che sent his family onto the passenger ship and went all the way down to the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Xiang'er wanted to return to Chang'an, so she stayed in Luoyang to wait for her mother, Lu Mushroom was looking forward to the news of her fiancé, and she also stayed, Jiang Yuntian's letter of appointment had not yet been issued, so naturally she couldn't leave.

That night, Song Che found Gao Chen.

"Lord Gao, Song wants to find a half-official position."

"Mr. Song is the talent of Wang Zuo, if he reports his great achievements to the saint, it will not be a problem."

"Master Gao thinks too highly of me, Song is just a businessman, how can He De worship the prime minister? I don't want the temple to be long-lasting, just to be short-lived. ”

"Hehehe...... I led Mr. to meet the saint, as for what kind of official he can get, it all depends on Mr. Eloquence. ”

Gao Chen was also unambiguous, and asked Song Che to put on filial piety clothes and enter the palace overnight.

In the Ziwei Palace, the lights are slightly bright.

Song Che and Gao Chen waited outside the hall for a while, and it was not until the little eunuch came out to announce the reception, and Song Che walked into the main hall alone.

On the top of the hall, Zhao Sui was dressed in a golden dragon robe, and the word "big" sat on the dragon chair, he raised his head and closed his eyes, caressing the chair handle, looking extremely enjoyable and unable to put it down.

"Grass people Song Che, see Your Majesty."

"Boss Song was resourceful and frustrated Dijon's spirit on the court, so that they returned in shame with their tails between their legs, which is a great achievement, and I deserve to be rewarded."

Zhao Sui didn't open his eyes, and asked softly, "What do you want?" ”

Song Che said: "Your Majesty, the grass people came to visit late at night, in fact, they came to share your worries and solve your worries, if you can get your wish, Your Majesty will not be too late to appreciate the grass people." ”

"Can you guess my thoughts?"

"The worries of the congenital son, and the joy of the acquired son, are the responsibility of the subjects."

"Hahaha......" Zhao Sui laughed, finally narrowed his eyes and squinted at Song Che: "Since the first time I saw you at the racecourse, I felt that you were not simple. ”

Song Che bowed again to show his humility.

"Then tell me, what worries me about?"

"King Anyang."

Whispering three words slowly, Zhao Sui suddenly opened his eyes, straightened up, frowned for a moment, and slowly relaxed his expression before he said in a deep voice: "My younger brother is not very sensible, and he didn't even come back to mourn the death of his father, it's time to teach him a lesson." ”

"But it's not a good lesson."

"Oh?"

"The king of Anyang was ordered by the emperor to go to Penglai in Dengzhou to find the immortal master, and the land of Dengzhou is located in the Bohai Bay, across the sea from Dijon, and there are also military ports, Shamen Island and other important places for soldiers;

Liu Chong, the old envoy of Jingdong Jinan Mansion, is the younger brother of Liu Guifei, the biological mother of King Anyang, and is the uncle and nephew of King Anyang;

I don't know if Your Majesty can know that in the coastal area of Jingdong, the plague is rampant, the number of displaced people has increased dramatically, and a 'Red Lotus Cult' has been born;

In order to quell the troubles, Jingdong increased its troops to 100,000; Cults believe in gods and take advantage of the suffering of the displaced people to win people's hearts; Your Majesty, should you know its intentions? ”

"Smack!"

Zhao Sui patted the chair and stood up, and said angrily: "No wonder Zhao Xin wants to run to Penglai, no wonder Liu Chong, the old thief, has repeatedly admonished and expanded the army, it turns out that he wants to support the army and rebel!" ”

"The grass people dare to ask Your Majesty how to deal with it?" Song Che asked.

Zhao Sui said: "I will write a letter tomorrow to inform the king of Anyang about the rebellion, and when the mourning period is over, I will personally lead the troops and drive the expedition to exterminate this thief!" ”

"No, no."

"Why not?"

"There are three reasons for this."

Song Che slowly gestured out three fingers and said:

"First, there is insufficient evidence of rebellion, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, if you kill your brothers and sisters, you will inevitably fall into public opinion;

Second, as soon as the text came out, the world knew that the war between Xiliang and the north was initially decided, but the Hu people and Dijon were still watching outside the pass.

Third, Jingdong has a lot of troops, and if the war starts, it will definitely cost the people and money and shake the country. ”

"Do I have to tolerate the traitor Taoguang and be obscure?"

Zhao Sui walked down the hall, came to Song Che, and urged urgently: "Do you have any clever plan to solve my problems, hurry up and talk to me!" ”

Song Che bowed his head and gently spit out four words:

"Capture the king in secret."
