In the seventeenth year of Jiading in the Great Song Dynasty, the autumn of Ding You, the vertical arch hall.

The hot summer days seem to be receding, but the power of the autumn tiger is still not to be underestimated. Especially in the main hall, the ministers are crowded, there are many people, different thoughts, and sweating on their foreheads abound.

The hall is full of Zhu Zi ministers, the green-clothed imperial history is complete, and even the princes and nobles are all missing, all for the sake of the imperial court.

The crown prince, the prince of the country, the foundation of the dynasty, is related to the Great Song Dynasty, the country is extended, it is the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the princes and the emperor, all appear.

Zhao Hong stood in the middle of the class, holding a wat board, lowering his eyes and closing his mouth, without saying a word.

Before going to the court, he had already gotten the news that today's court meeting was a matter of establishing a prince. Although he was already mentally prepared, a small heart still beat violently from time to time.

With the respect of the prince and the talisman of the emperor and grandson, Shi Miyuan should not be "stubbornly resisting".

The courtiers kept playing, the students sat quietly every three or five times, and the government and the opposition were boiling, and it seemed that the matter of establishing the prince had already made it difficult for those obstructors to delay it any longer.

"Today's court meeting is for the establishment of the crown prince, and all the ministers can speak out and discuss whatever advice they have."

Zhao Kuo's feminine words echoed in the main hall, and his face was blue and black, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Sure enough, it was a matter of establishing a reserve, and Zhao Hong's heart beat faster inexplicably.

"Your Majesty, the establishment of a reserve is a major national event, the top priority, and it is also imminent. Your Majesty should set up a prince as soon as possible, be prepared, and calm the world! It can also dispel people with ill intentions to stir up trouble and disturb the court! ”

Fan Yingling, the official of Shang Zuolang, the ordnance supervisor, walked out and stepped forward.

The reason why he was summoned to the court is to do this.

To put it bluntly, it is to uphold the holy will and do the thing of "please establish a prince".

Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong's concubine Zhou Xiuniang gave birth to Lin'er, the official Zhao Kuo was excited, edicted the world, worshiped the temple, gave the emperor's grandson the name Zhao Quan, and awarded the general Zuo Qianniuwei.

In this case, as the only prince of the official family, Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, was established as the prince, which seems to be a certainty.

"Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a prince is indeed a major event in the imperial court. The minister thought that the candidate for the crown prince could be selected from the children of the clan and the virtuous ones. ”

Liang Chengda, who has been promoted to the middle of the imperial history, Shi Miyuan's minions, spoke first and directly deviated from the rhythm.

Liang Chengda's crazy words are used to the ministers in the hall.

Anything that is beneficial to the prince Zhao Hong, no matter what is justified, Liang Cheng will oppose it, full of fighting spirit, and never tired of it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is virtuous and virtuous, and can inherit the unification."

Sure enough, Li Zhixiao, who supervised the imperial history, continued to lead the rhythm on the side road.

Zhao Guicheng's face was red, and many of the ministers in the palace were shocked.

As the only prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, was directly ignored by Li Zhixiao, and he wanted to set up someone else, how bold!

And Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is only a member of the royal family, not even a prince, what qualifications do he have to enter the court and be nominated as the prince of the Great Song Dynasty?

"Your Majesty, the sage of the Duke of Jiguo, everyone knows the people of Lin'an City. Smelting iron and casting cannons, writing books and sayings, as the envoy of the Jin State said, the gold lord also respects the Duke of Jiguo, which shows that the name of the Duke of Jiguo is known at home and abroad. The establishment of the prince as the crown prince is in line with the hearts of the people of the world. ”

Xu Xuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, stood up and said bluntly.

"Your Majesty, although Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is a member of the royal family, he is only a nephew of the emperor, not a prince, and he has no achievements. From ancient times to the present, it has not been heard of a person who is located in a nephew, but not a person who is located in a son. Even if this is the case for ordinary people in the Great Song Dynasty, let alone the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty? The crown prince can only be a prince, not a nephew. Your Majesty is cautious, Your Majesty is wise. ”

Yin Wujing of Lin'an Mansion calmly played.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been the foundation of the country. The position of the prince is extraordinary, and it is related to the Great Song Dynasty. The minister thought that Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, was pure and good, benevolent and thrifty, and could be the prince of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The head of Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, hung lower, and his body seemed to be trembling.

Liang Chengda's black and fat face looked angry, and he looked worried about the country and the people. He didn't notice at all that Zhao Kuo's brows were already furrowed.

Zhao Kuo glanced at Liang Chengda with disgust, and his gaze turned to Zhendexiu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who had just been transferred back to the center, and his attitude became gentle.

"Zhenqing, what do you mean?"

Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel moved.

"Father" tunes Zhen Dexiu to return to the center, isn't it just to assist himself and overcome obstacles for himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Yi is from a humble background, has incomplete etiquette, and is too young to inherit the unification. Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong has a pure character, benevolence, filial piety and courage, and everyone knows his ability and character, and he can be the prince of the Song Dynasty for me. ”

Zhen Dexiu, who had just been transferred back to the center of the imperial court, took things seriously and played the right thing hard.

"Your Majesty, please make Zhao Hong, the prince of Jiguo, the crown prince, the crown prince, and share your Majesty's worries!"

Now, he and his disciple Zhao Hong's fate are tied together, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only share the hardships with Zhao Hong.

As Zhao Hong's former teacher, he has been regarded as Zhao Hong's party, and Zhen Dexiu is of course a disciple who supports him.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, has been in the court for a long time, is familiar with political affairs, knows etiquette, and can be of great use, and has been named the prince for more than four years. It is advisable to posthumously seal me as the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, to correct the country, and to comfort the hearts of the people in the world. ”

Zhu Duanchang, the taciturn secretary of Dali Temple, suddenly walked out of the ranks and admonished, which surprised all the ministers.

This old guy who is a vegetarian eater, how dare he do this?

Shi Miyuan glanced at Zhu Duanchang in surprise, and then glanced at Zhao Kuo, who was kind and kind on the throne, and was shocked.

It seems that there are many henchmen and ministers of the official family, and they can still eat.

"Your Majesty, the truth is true! Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, is the only prince of His Majesty, regardless of his ability to write, he is much stronger than Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi. Even if you want to be virtuous, it is Jiguo Gong who is far ahead! The position of the crown prince is none other than Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo! Your Majesty think twice! ”

Wei Liaoweng, the squire of the military department, also stood up at this moment and supported Zhao Hong.

As the only prince of the Great Song Emperor, there is no big mistake, if you don't set him up, do you want to set up someone else?

Among the ministers in the palace, many people nodded in appreciation.

The poems and articles of Zhao Hong, the prince of Jiguo, are splendid, and he is impressive in the ordnance department, in comparison, Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, has done nothing, which is really too inferior.

At today's court meeting, everyone can see the preference of the official family for Zhao Hong, the prince of Jiguo. The emperor and grandson came, announced to the world, worshiped the temple, and set up Zhao Hong as the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, which was clearly revealed.

In this case, it is really unreasonable not to make Zhao Hong the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Jiguo is the prince, and there is even the emperor's grandson who extends the country for my Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is only the emperor's nephew, not the prince, and he is established as the prince, which is not in line with the courtesy. Your Majesty is sacred. ”

Ge Hong, the secretary of the ministry, trembled, and also walked out of the ranks, and said to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but be surprised, and then his heart widened.

Even Ge Hong, an old fritter, spoke for him, and it seems that he wrote books and spoke to coerce public opinion, which played a role after all.

Compared with Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng and others, although Ge Hong is poor, he still has a conscience after all.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, is the leader of my Great Song Dynasty royal family, and no one can beat him. Jiguo Gong's article is the first in the country, and he is also proficient in practice and knows the people's livelihood and suffering. The prince of Jiguo can be the prince of the Great Song Dynasty for me, the world is salty, Your Majesty Shengjian! ”

Zhao Shimi, who knew Zongzheng and Zongzheng Temple, also stood up and cheered for Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong secretly exhaled and quietly wiped his sweat.

Even the royal family has come out to support themselves, and today's crown prince's position is only stable.

The ministers in the palace came out one after another, expressing their opinions, although there were opponents, but most of them still supported Zhao Hong's ascension to the crown prince.

Zhao Kuo on the throne was silent, his eyes swept to Prime Minister Shi Miyuan and several ruling ministers, and his voice was soft.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Li Jiguo Zhao Hong is my Great Song Prince, do you still have any doubts?"

Shi Miyuan's face was unwavering and silent. Several of the ruling ministers behind him also lowered their eyes and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jiguo, is withdrawn and gentle, likes women and glamorous voices, is extravagant, likes to make friends with scoundrels in the market, and is not suitable to inherit the unification, and cannot afford the society of the Great Song Dynasty."

The white-haired Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Zhao Rushu of the Great Song Dynasty Sect ran naked on the way to slander Zhao Hong, and opened fire fiercely.

Zhao Kuo on the throne frowned again, and a coldness appeared in his eyes.

"The minister seconded Zhao Shangshu!"

Li Zhixiao, the superintendent of the imperial history, immediately spoke out and expressed his approval.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The other superintendent Yu Shi Moze is naturally not far behind.

Zhao Rushu, Liang Chengda, and Mo Ze, together known as the "Three Murderers" in Lin'an Shimin, are Shi Miyuan's closest minions, repeatedly slandering courtiers, speculating and camping, encroaching and gathering, and not knowing discipline.

Zhao Hong was going to be crowned the crown prince, of course he was strongly opposed.

"Zhao Rushu, you are bold! Nonsense! ”

Zhao Kuo on the throne was unusually furious and scolded loudly.

"I often see Jiguo Gong, why don't you think he's withdrawn? Am I blind? Playing the piano is just a preference, there is only Zhou by his side, why is he lustful and absurd? "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is also a glamorous sound, so my Song Shimin is so good? If you wait for a sharp mouth, maliciously slander the prince, his heart can be punished, his heart can be punished! ”

Zhao Kuo was angry and scolded sharply, which showed the anger in his heart.

"Zhao Rushu, as an important minister of the imperial court and the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty, you are full of nonsense and rumors. As a child of the Great Song Sect, do you still know the word shame? ”

Anyone can oppose Zhao Hongli, but Zhao Rushu is the royal family of Zhao and Song, and his elbow is turned out, which is really despicable and dirty, which makes Zhao Kuo riot.

Long Yan was furious, Zhao Rushu was at a loss, and immediately knelt on the hall and kowtowed desperately.

"Your Majesty is angry! Wechen knew that he was wrong! ”

All the courtiers were stunned and despised. Zhao Kuo, a gentle and humble gentleman, has also learned to be angry?

This Zhao Rushu, before and after, in just a moment, his attitude has changed so much, it makes people laugh.

"Zhao Rushu was deprived of the official rank, demoted to the head of the criminal department, and fined for one year. cut Li Zhixiao and Mo Ze off their official positions, deprived them of their talents, and removed them from the ancestral office! ”

In addition to being speech officials, Li Zhixiao and Mo Ze were also in charge of court sacrifices. Zhao Kuosheng was angry and took off the officials of the two.

"Your Majesty is angry! Wechen knew that he was wrong! ”

Li Zhixiao and Mo Ze knelt down together, and together with Zhao Rushu, they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Zhen Dexiu looked at the ugly few people in the hall and snorted coldly.

If he is really a loyal minister of the state, how can he wag his tail so much and beg for mercy, kneeling on the ground and begging like a dog.

You don't have to do it yourself, the emperor can't bear it anymore.

His gaze swept to Shi Miyuan in the main hall, his gaze lowered, unmoved, as if nothing had happened.

Sure enough, it's a cunning old fox!

"Three woods and three murderers", Shi Miyuan's minions were removed at once, and the emperor's move was clearly to kill chickens and monkeys and make an example for Zhao Hong.

"Drag out of the temple!"

Zhao Kuo's face was pale, he waved his hand, and the forbidden army stepped forward, set up Li Zhixiao and Mo Ze, and dragged them out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!"

"Your Majesty, be gracious!"

Li Zhixiao and Mo Ze begged loudly, their pleading eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced in the direction of Shi Miyuan.

"Wait!"

Shi Miyuan finally spoke and walked out of the train.

The forbidden army dragging Li Zhixiao and the others immediately stopped and looked at the emperor on the throne together.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Zhixiao and the others are not guilty of this, and they can ......"

Shi Miyuan bowed with a wat in his hand, and was interrupted by Zhao Kuo, who was pale.

"Don't say anything, I have made up my mind!"

Zhao Hong made a loud sound, which made Shi Miyuan frown, bowed to the wat, and wanted to play again.

"Shi Miyuan, you are so bold! This Great Song Dynasty court belongs to my Great Song Emperor, or is it your Shi Miyuan's? Do you dare to disobey Your Majesty's will? ”

Zhen Deok so was furious and loudly scolded Shi Miyuan, which also stopped him from playing again.

Shi Miyuan controlled the government and even dared to challenge the will of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and if he turned a deaf ear, his heart could be punished.

"Shi Xiang, you are so powerful. In your eyes, do you still have my great Song Tianzi? ”

Wei Liaoweng's words were indescribably sarcastic.

The Son of Heaven Chrysostom said that Shi Miyuan was actually the top of the palace, and the forbidden army actually listened to his orders, it was simply unreasonable, and it was shocking to think about it!

His gaze swept to Xia Zhen, the commander of the front division of the palace, who was fat into a bucket, this person was standing in the middle of the ranks, his eyes were lowered, pretending to be deaf and dumb, as if everything had happened to him.

Wei Liaoweng snorted hatefully and turned his head.

The hall was full of ministers, some people looked at Shi Miyuan angrily, and some people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. And Shi Miyuan's henchmen Liang Chengda, Xue Ji and others all lowered their eyes and did not say a word.

Emperor Long Yan was furious, and if he was not careful, he might lose the black yarn. They are not Shi Miyuan, who dare to point fingers at the emperor.

"As the chief assistant of the court, the old man is the duty of our courtiers to speak out and advise. The two are too fussful. ”

Shi Miyuan was calm, replied coldly, and bowed to Zhao Hong on the throne.

"Your Majesty's holy will has been decided, the minister has nothing to say, and the minister obeys the order."

Shi Miyuan retreated to the ranks, leaving the white-bearded Zhao Rushu kneeling on the main hall, his face pale and trembling.

"What are you waiting for? Drag it out! ”

Zhen Dexiu's face turned pale, he glanced at Zhao Rushu with disdain, and waved his hand angrily.

The forbidden army did not dare to delay any longer, and quickly dragged the frightened and silent Li Zhixiao and Mo Ze out of the main hall.
