November 28, Night, Zishi, Lin'an City, Imperial Palace, Funing Palace.

In the empty dormitory, Zhao Kuo, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, was lying on top of the imperial collapse, his face was like gold paper, dying, and he had entered the dying moment.

"Shi Xiang, I'm afraid the official family won't last two hours!"

The white-bearded imperial physician had a wrinkled face, and cautiously reported to Shi Miyuan, the prime minister who was sitting on the chair, with a cold complexion.

Shi Miyuan nodded, his gaze cold.

"Go down, and be there at any time. Don't tell anyone about it, or watch out for your head! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The old minister knows! ”

The white-bearded imperial doctor was frightened and retreated, and Shi Miyuan's side was full of excited and nervous henchmen.

Seeing the Jin Dan scattered next to the collapse, Shi Miyuan frowned.

Yu Tianci on the side hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the golden pill, and put it in his sleeve.

"Dad, what did the official family say just now, do you want Zhao Hong to succeed to the throne?"

Shi Miyuan's eldest son, Shi Zhaizhi, who was the Shaoqing of Taifu at the time and the servant of the Ministry of Households, asked cautiously.

When Zhao Kuo was dying, he only recruited his father, obviously with the intention of entrusting orphans.

"Is this what you should ask?"

Shi Miyuan whispered softly, didn't look back, and Shi Zhaizhi could only retreat.

Shi Mi glanced at Zhao Kuo on the collapse a few times, turned his head, and looked at Xia Zhen, the sleepy-eyed palace marshal.

"Vice Marshal Xu, immediately ordered to go down, block the Funing Palace, Kunning Palace, and the Prince's East Palace, strictly guard the palace gates of the imperial city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The news of the official bank should not be known to anyone, so as not to cause panic. ”

Shi Miyuan stared at Xu Yi, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, his eyes were like torches, and he said word by word.

"Remember, especially on the East Palace, you must pay attention to not let them notice the slightest abnormality."

"Shi Xiang can rest assured that the last general will not fail in his mission!"

Xu Yi knew it and took the order to leave.

The condition of the official family deteriorated, and he still asked Shi Xiang to explain the future. And when the emperor is about to return to heaven, he will also announce the prince's audience.

Shi Xiang naturally delayed until the emperor was speechless.

"Da Lang, you leave the palace immediately, go to Cheng Shilang's mansion, and let him enter the palace quickly!"

"Wei Zhai, you leave the palace immediately, and when you arrive at the Yiwang Mansion, you tell Zheng Gong that he knows what to do!"

"Xia Shuai, immediately send the forbidden army to my mansion and invite the Yang brothers into the palace. I'll tell you in person. ”

Shi Miyuan commanded one by one, and Cheng Zhu was in his chest.

Shi Miyuan hesitated for a moment and continued:

"Xia Shuai, you send someone to inform Huang Yan, let him leave the city as soon as the city gate is opened, mobilize the forbidden army with him, and station it outside the tide gate, waiting for the military order at any time."

"Shi Xiang, is it necessary to mobilize the forbidden army outside the city to deal with just one Zhao Hong?"

Xia Zhenhu asked suspiciously.

"In case of a disturbance in the city, just in case."

"Yes, Shi Xiang!"

Xia Zhen and Yu Tianci no longer said anything and were ordered to leave.

Before Shi Zhaizhi left, his face was blue and his eyes flickered.

"Daddy, do you really want to do this? Isn't it a bit too risky? ”

Father controls the government, even if Zhao Hong is on the throne, what can he do with his father? It's a big deal to resign, with the strength of the historian, the court may not dare to make a big move.

The risk of doing such a rebellious thing now is too great.

Shi Miyuan raised his head, his eyes were cold, staring at his son, Shi Zhaizhi didn't dare to stay, and left quickly.

Silence returned to the hall, and Shi Miyuan stood up and looked at the dark night outside the hall.

I wish the night had passed sooner!

"I've seen Shi Xiang!"

Yang Guizhi's nephew, Yang Gu Yang Shi, entered the Funing Hall and saluted Shi Mi Yuanyuan together.

The eyes of the two swept towards the hall, the palace people were changing the white yarn and white silk, and Zhao Kuo was motionless on the couch. The two of them knew it and withdrew their gaze.

"Two, the first emperor died, and he made an edict to ask Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, to ascend the throne."

Shi Miyuan's face was solemn, and he said to the two Yang brothers. Yang Gu Yang Shi nodded again and again, and then quietly left.

"Shi Xiang, Cheng Jue, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has arrived!"

Shi Miyuan had just breathed a sigh of relief, and his son's voice outside the hall sounded.

"Let him come in quickly!"

Shi Zhaizhi brought in with Cheng Jue, a waiter from the Ministry of Rites and a straight bachelor, and Cheng Yu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I've seen Shi Xiang!"

Cheng Jue was respectful and bowed.

Obviously, he already knew everything.

"Cheng Shilang, the official family is in a big business, so you will draft the edict."

Shi Miyuan waved his hand, and the surrounding forbidden army palace people retreated one after another, leaving only one of his sons, Shi Zhai.

"Shi Xiang, the lower officials are not the rulers, nor are they the Hanlin scholars, besides, the governments of the two governments are not there, is this appropriate?"

Looking at Huang Aya in front of him, as well as the pen and ink, Cheng Jue was shocked and couldn't help but hesitate.

This is a crime of exaggeration, and it is not possible to connect the nine clans.

"Cheng Shilang, this is the official edict, you don't have to hesitate. Everything is under control, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, you will be the ruler of the two governments. ”

Shi Miyuan smiled softly, full of confidence and composure.

"Shi Xiang, the lower officials dare to disobey their orders!"

Cheng Jue's heart "banged" and bowed.

Shi Miyuan's power was monstrous, and the imperial palace, including the forbidden army in Lin'an City, was controlled by him. Zhao Honggui is the crown prince, but he has no power and no power, and he is a puppet.

It's just a draft edict, but it's just a trivial matter of writing some words. From a squire to a ruling minister, he will soar in the future.

"Cheng Shilang, this first edict is to change the emperor's nephew Zhao Guicheng as the prince and give him the name Zhao Yun."

Shi Miyuan thought for a moment and ordered directly.

Cheng Jue shook his spirits, shook his pen and wrote down.

"In the second edict, Zhao Yun, the prince of Jinfeng, was the envoy of the Wutai Army and the Duke of Chengguo."

Shi Miyuan was calm and calm, and continued to point out the country in the hall.

"This third edict, Jin crowned the prince Zhao Yun as the crown prince."

Shi Miyuan's words shocked Cheng Jue's heart, his hand couldn't help shaking, and a stain was written on the tip of the pen.

"Xia Guan rewrites!"

Cheng Jue quickly settled down, spread out the brocade again, and began to write.

"This fourth edict abolishes the position of Prince Zhao Hong."

"The fifth edict, the crown prince Zhao Hong is the king of Jiyang County, the opening of the palace is the same as the three divisions, and the sentence of Ning Guofu is issued."

Shi Miyuan said softly, without stumbling, obviously in his chest.

"The first two edicts are dated November 24. The last three edicts are today, and the hour is in Shenshi. ”

The promulgation date of the first two edicts was advanced, obviously to say that Zhao Guicheng became the prince because of the emperor's original intention, and it was natural for him to become the prince.

After the edicts came down, Shi Miyuan looked at Cheng Jue with burning eyes.

"Cheng Shilang, coming down is the most important edict of the first emperor."

"Shi Xiang, the lower officials are ready!"

Cheng Jue's face was solemn and he saluted solemnly.

Shi Miyuan nodded, and took out a piece of paper full of words, with a lot of alterations and red crosses on it, which seemed to be a draft.

"Cheng Shilang, you take a look first, revise it, it must conform to the tone of the official family, and then copy it."

Shi Miyuan tapped lightly on the draft, and seemed to have made a final decision.

Cheng Jue watched carefully, talked with Shi Miyuan in a low voice, revised and corrected, and soon reached an agreement.

"I have heard of it: the germination of all things in the world, there is no death; The deceased, the principle of heaven and earth, and the nature of all things, Xi Ke is very sad...... King Yi is sincere, his character is valuable, and he will be able to overcome the unification, succeed me to the throne, and succeed the emperor......"

Cheng Jue cheered up and finished writing, Shi Miyuan finished reading it, nodded, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Jade Seal."

Shi Zhai's hand trembled, and he presented the jade seal.

Shi Miyuan glanced at his son, picked up the jade seals, and covered them one by one.

After covering the jade seal and putting away the edicts one by one, Shi Miyuan relieved himself and sat down on the chair in a dejected manner.

"Daddy, ...... over there of Queen Yang"

Cheng Jue went down to rest, Shi Zhaizhi was on the side, still nervous.

Without Empress Yang's permission, it may not be easy to abolish the crown prince and establish a new emperor.

"There are two nephews of the queen lobbying, and I believe she will not refuse."

Shi Miyuan smiled coldly, as if he was in his chest.

With the deceitful nature of those two powerful children who are addicted to wine and are over half a hundred years old, it is related to their glory and wealth, and they will definitely fulfill their duties well.

And with Yang Guizhi's consistent strength, with her hatred for Zhao Hong, she will definitely choose Zhao Guicheng.

"Dad, that Zhao Guicheng, he won't dare to come, right?"

Shi Zhaizhi hesitated, still uneasy.

Zhao Hong is the crown prince of the dynasty and has a good reputation. Zhao Guicheng is just a nephew of the emperor, unknown. If Zhao Guicheng doesn't come, wouldn't it be a chicken and an egg?

"Zhao Guicheng? His ambition is no less than anyone else's. Just wait for the good news. ”

Shi Miyuan glanced at the sky and frowned.

"You go out and tell Xia Shuai, over there in the East Palace, keep an eye on me. Send someone to inform the courtiers and enter the palace to discuss matters! ”

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Now, just wait for the news from Queen Yang Guizhi's side.

Shi Zhaizhi left, and Shi Miyuan beckoned impatiently to Li Gu.

"Everything has been shipped, now let's start arranging the aftermath of the official family."

Zhao Kuo didn't pay attention to him, let alone Zhao Kuo's minions.

"Yes, Shi Xiang!"

Li Gu left respectfully.

All kinds of people came in and out, Li Gu changed Zhao Kuo's clothes and changed the curtain, and he and Dong Songchen looked at each other, both speechless.

Emperor Bintian, the forbidden army surrounded the palace tightly, and flies couldn't fly out.

It happened suddenly, and I don't know what the situation is on Zhao Hong's side?

Li Gu gestured, Dong Songchen knew it, turned around, and smiled all over his face.

"General, I'm in a hurry, I want to go out for convenience."

Dong Songchen bowed his head and bowed, smiling and pleading with the forbidden army at the gate of the palace.

"Internal urgency, take this to solve it. Someone will take it out for you! ”

The forbidden army reached out and dragged a wide-mouthed vase and stuffed it to Dong Songchen.

Dong Songchen had no choice but to go back with the vase, and looked at Li Gu's master and apprentice, both of whom were half cold.

Shi Miyuan let the forbidden army guard it so strictly, obviously with ill intentions, Zhao Hong was kept in the dark, and what did he rely on to turn over?

When the edict is announced at dawn, there will be no power to return to heaven.

Waves of people and horses left the palace, and wave after wave entered the palace, in and out, bustling. Zhou Da and the others lurking in the dark night outside the imperial city were all secretly frightened.

"Boss, what's going on in this palace, right?"

When the palace gate was restored, Zhou Fu, the Zhou family, whispered.

"Boss, if you speak, a few earth-shattering thunders were thrown over just now, and the ghost cried wolf, and there were dead and wounded!"

Zhou Gui, another member of the Zhou Mansion, was murderous.

There is another group of people outside, who are responsible for observing the palace gate and acting when the opportunity arises.

"It's such a dark day, do you know who you bombed? Fighting the grass and startling the snake, the forbidden army is coming, how to do the rest of the thing? Diehard! ”

Zhou Da reprimanded and whispered:

"You two, hurry up and report to the eldest brother and Tian Dalang. Just go! ”

Zhou Da arranged it, and he also muttered secretly in his heart.

In the middle of the night, so many people entered and exited the palace gate, I am afraid that something big happened.
