November 29, the 17th year of Jiading, the fifth watch, Lin'an City, Dongbianmen, and the East Palace of the Prince.

The night outside the room was still dark, the study was dark and unknown, a candle was like a bean, Zhao Hong leaned on the back of the chair, put his feet on the desk, closed his eyes and remained motionless.

From the slightly trembling hand on his knee, it can be seen that he is also nervous.

In the final analysis, he is also a layman, and when it comes to the critical moment of life and death, ascending to the throne, and holding supreme power, he is also empty-hearted.

Shi Miyuan, Yang Guizhi, Xia Zhen, these people are interlocking, inside and outside the palace, it can be said that they cover the sky and the sun. He, the lord of the East Palace, can he take great pains to ascend the throne as he wishes?

Or is it a failure, deposed by the edict, and waiting for the end to come?

The fate of life is ups and downs, and it seems that it is about to see the real chapter.

Thinking about it, the tense nerves for days, and the tiredness of sleepless nights, finally conquered his heart, and let him fall asleep in a hazy haze.

There seemed to be footsteps, as if someone had added a quilt to himself, and he wanted to wake up but couldn't. There seemed to be a knock on the door, and he got up in a daze and opened the door. He saw his elderly mother, with a petite and thin figure, a yellow cotton coat, a beige woolen hat on her head, and her eyes were full of love, looking at him.

Hasn't my mother been dead for more than twenty years? How did you come back to life?

The mother looked at him, and soon, the mother turned into a black and thin grandmother, the grandmother was expressionless, and looked at Zhao Hong for a moment, and then opened her wrinkled mouth.

"Grandson, you're so hard! You can't be too straight! The world has changed! ”

Grandma disappeared, and there was boundless darkness outside the door, and Zhao Hong immediately became anxious.

"Mom, grandma, don't go!"

With a "creak", the door was pushed open, and Zhen Dexiu and several other courtiers broke in in a hurry, waking up Zhao Hong in his sleep.

"Your Highness, when is it, you are still sleeping here. It's already messed up outside! ”

Seeing Zhao Hong lazily leaning on the chair, he wanted to sit or not, he wanted to lie down or not, he was ruffian, and he was really virtuous and delicate.

Zhao Kuo died, Zhao Hong, the prince of the dynasty, he is still here like a nobody, his heart is really big!

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Imperial Dragon Bintian, you must be ready to ascend the throne!"

Chen Duanchang was also full of anxiety and urged Zhao Hong.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why is the official family so good, you are not surprised and sad at all? What does it mean that the forbidden army is like a great enemy? ”

Xu Xuan, the young secretary of Dali Temple, asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, do you already know about the affairs of the official family? Why didn't the palace recruit you? Did the official family leave any edicts? ”

Yin Wujing of Lin'an Mansion, there are many judgments, and it is purely out of curiosity.

Edict?

Finally someone who understands!

Zhao Hong's face looked a little better, he stared at everyone, and finally did not get angry.

Can't he be allowed to see his relatives in his dreams for a moment?

"Your Highness, why are you crying?"

Noticing that Zhao Hong had tears in the corners of his eyes and his face was ugly, Xu Xuan asked in surprise.

"Your Dali Temple is here, the wind is gusting, and the eyes are uncomfortable with tears."

Zhao Hong wiped away his tears and put down his feet, his expression still lazy.

"Zhen Gong, Chen Gong, Xu Gong, Wu Gong, don't be so impatient. If you haven't slept well all night, can't you be alone? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the emperor is a great deal, don't you really know?"

Zhen Deok so said angrily.

The emperor is on a big line, and Zhao Hong is about to ascend the throne. At this time, it is not good to prepare for the enthronement.

Chen Duanchang looked at Zhao Hong in surprise and did not speak.

This prince is out of nowhere, and no one knows what he thinks in his heart.

Wu Jing was also curious. Seeing that Zhao Hong was confident, he seemed to be prepared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like you're more anxious than I am."

Zhao Hong looked at the anxious crowd and put away his smile.

"Everyone, Gu already knows that His Majesty has been in the Dragon Bin Heaven last night."

People are emotional creatures. Zhao Kuo passed away, saying that he was not uncomfortable, but it was purely a lie.

"Your Highness, when did you know that Your Majesty had died?"

Chen Duanchang asked curiously, secretly suspicious.

The forbidden army blocked the water in the inner perimeter of the palace, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, how did Zhao Hong know. Shi Miyuan did this, what did he want to do?

The atmosphere of the palace is secretive, and so are the others, looking at Zhao Hong with concern.

"Chen Xianggong, last night, the saint had already died, but Gu just got the news. I remembered the scene of practicing Tai Chi with His Majesty, which made people feel sad for no reason......"

Referring to Zhao Kuo, a Great Song official who had just died of illness, Zhao Hong became listless for a while, and a soft sigh came out of his mouth.

Wei Liaoweng came in, and originally wanted to tell Tian Yi what he said, but there were many people, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

"Your Majesty has already been in the sky, but Shi Miyuan didn't tell His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really dampening!"

Jin Deok so's hatred came out.

Needless to say, this treacherous minister is engaged in some kind of conspiracy again.

"It's useless for Shi Miyuan to make ghosts. Now that Emperor Bintian and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are presiding over the unification, what else can he do? ”

Xu Xuan snorted coldly.

Once the crown prince ascends the throne, Shi Miyuan's good days are probably coming to an end.

"Prince, don't bother, hurry up and go to Funing Hall with us. You'll be busy in a while! ”

Wu Jing frowned and persuaded Zhao Hong.

The ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, the day when the old emperor ascended to heaven, was the time when the new emperor ascended the throne. The prince is a slow son, and he is not in a hurry to ascend the throne, he is really big-hearted.

Wei Liaoweng looked at Zhao Hong, thoughtful, and still kept silent about what Tian Yi had told.

He wanted to see how Zhao Hong would deal with the changes in front of him.

"Li Tang, you go outside and keep an eye on it, don't let anyone in."

Zhao Hong whispered, and Li Tang walked out.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what is the matter with you, a mysterious god?"

Jin Deok-so asked in surprise.

At this time, these mysterious blind halls can wait until after they ascend the throne.

"You don't know, the first emperor died last night, the news in the palace was blocked, Shi Miyuan's father and son, Cheng Mi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, and Yang Gu Yang Shi, the two nephews of Queen Yang, entered the palace overnight and were busy in the middle of the night."

Zhao Hong looked at everyone and said it with a straight face

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think I, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, can I ascend the throne smoothly?"

He didn't know about these things, but he improvised them in combination with his own historical foresight.

The room was dull, everyone was stunned, and after a while, Zhende Xiu spoke in a trembling voice.

"Shi Miyuan didn't let the prince see His Majesty for the last time, and summoned Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, into the palace, is this to abolish the prince and set up a new king?"

Otherwise, why did the gods mysteriously welcome Zhao Guicheng into the palace? Why did you let the Yang brothers enter the palace?

As for Cheng Mi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, although he is not an intellectual, he is familiar with the regulations in the palace and drafts the edict, so he is the right person.

"This ...... How...... Possible? Isn't this an overkill? ”

Wu Jing's lips trembled, and he said it unconsciously.

The emperor never had the intention of deposing the crown prince, nor did he have the will to depose the crown prince. No need to ask, Shi Miyuan is going to overstep his bounds.

"Empress Yang's two nephews, Yang Gu Yang Shi, entered the palace, is it to persuade ......?"

Wu Jing said in a trembling voice, looking at Xu Xuan, they were all shocked.

Yang Guizhi didn't nod, Shi Miyuan was bold, and he couldn't depose Zhao Hong, unless Shi Miyuan killed Yang Guizhi.

Thinking about it carefully, I am very afraid, the old incident of killing Han Yanxuan during the Kaixi period is afraid that it will be staged again.

The old trick is repeated, and the joy is never tired. These people are playing with state affairs in the palm of their hands, so bold!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how should this be?"

Xu Xuan asked in a trembling voice.

If you think about it carefully, Zhao Hong's fate is probably no longer up to him.

"If the thief dares to depose the prince in vain, the old man will fight with him!"

Zhen Dexiu's face was red, and he drank it suddenly

"True father, the old man is the same, the old man must fight for justice for His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Wei Liaoweng understood seven or eight points, and he was furious, and shouted loudly.

No wonder I felt inappropriate early in the morning, combined with what Tian Yi said, it turned out that Shi Miyuan was already plotting against him and doing something rebellious.

This traitor, is this a loss of heart and madness?

"I said what are so many forbidden troops guarding outside the East Palace, it turned out to be aimed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His heart is damned! ”

Xu Xuan suddenly realized, and his anger burst out.

In fact, it is not only outside the Prince's East Palace, but also the entire Forbidden Palace, surrounded by the forbidden army, all of which are Shi Miyuan's henchmen.

"Look at it like this, today's court, the adulterous and the adulterous, this is to repeat the old tricks, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!"

Wu Jing's face was pale, and his heart was as chaotic as numb.

The forbidden army in the palace is so tightly guarded, Shi Miyuan and Yang Guizhi have obviously joined forces, made a bold move, and are ready to eliminate dissidents and push Zhao Guicheng to the throne.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient. I've got something here, let's take a look at it first. ”

Zhao Hong's heart was moved, and he took the edict and unfolded it on the table.

The time of poverty is present, and the truth is seen in adversity.

Those who can stand with him at this time are worthy of his sincere treatment, and they are all people with a backbone. He didn't want to hide anything from them.

Several ministers stepped forward and were surprised to see the edict of succession on the table.

"First Emperor...... Handwritten ...... Edict! ”

Several people watched carefully, and it took half a day to recover from the shock, and they were all relieved.

"Your Royal Highness, with this edict written by the emperor himself, it is not so easy for Shi Miyuan, a traitor, to be an edict!"

Zhen Deok so was excited, and his face was full of red light.

With this handwritten edict of Zhao Kuo, Shi Miyuan wants to cover the sky with one hand, how easy is it to talk about?

"Your Highness, it seems that you have been prepared!"

Wei Liaoweng's face was a lot easier.

It turned out that Zhao Hong had the sword of Shang Fang in the edict of the first emperor, no wonder he was so calm.

"Your Royal Highness, although there is an edict from the first emperor, Shi Miyuan is in control of the forbidden army in the palace, and I am afraid that he will resist stubbornly. Do you want the old minister to leave the palace and transfer some tolerances into the palace? ”

Yin Wujing of Lin'an Mansion is still worried.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be prepared by yourself, don't worry, don't bother. All of you are safe to go to the court, and when the time comes, you can add fuel to the fire. The matter of the edict of the first emperor, please keep it secret for the time being, so as not to startle the snake. ”

Zhao Hong clasped his fists and saluted, solemnly.

"Your Highness is precious!"

"Your Highness, outside the East Palace, there is a forbidden army guarding it, and those who come are not good!"

Several ministers saluted together and solemnly admonished, and then they were preoccupied and left one after another.

There is a forbidden army outside the East Palace, and they can only act when they see the opportunity.

"Gong Wei, why are you back again?"

Wei Liaoweng went and returned, and Zhao Hong couldn't help but be stunned.

"Your Royal Highness, Tian Yi let me tell you that last night Shi Miyuan's father and son, Empress Yang's nephews Yang Gu and Yang Shi, King Yi's heir Zhao Guicheng, and Cheng Jue, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, entered the palace overnight. He also said that there should be no forbidden troops outside the city. You can rest assured! ”

Hearing Wei Liaoweng's words in his ears, Zhao Hong knew it, and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Duke Wei. Why didn't you just talk about it, and you had to go back to make a special trip? ”

"Your Highness, you are prepared for a rainy day and do not panic. The old minister underestimated you. ”

Zhao Hong was strategizing and calm, and Wei Liaoweng sincerely admired it.

If he was at Zhao Hong's age and was in such a situation, he would never have been able to think of these ways to deal with it, and he would not have been able to do so many things.

"Duke Wei, when the time comes, I hope you will help you!"

Zhao Hong was solemn and bowed.

"Your Highness, take care!"

Wei Liweng bowed and left. He left the Prince's East Palace, and the eastern sky had already dawned.

At dawn, if Zhao Hong can really ascend the throne smoothly, the weak and poor Great Song Dynasty, maybe there will really be a day of ZTE!
