Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Palace Banquet, the Situation
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family furniture is happy.
This is people's good wishes for Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how far the family is away during the year, as long as it is Chinese New Year's Eve, the family will always have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, narrating their respective circumstances and lives during the year.
However, this is a bit of a luxury for the royal family.
After coping with the annual Chinese New Year's Eve Hundred Officials' Night Banquet, Emperor Song left the scene a little tired, and after letting Prince Zhao Ming preside over the next banquet in his place, he took Cao Shuang to Derong Hall with him.
Sitting lonely in the store, memories continue to flood back like a dream.
The woman, the woman who gave birth to a son to herself, always comforted herself softly when she was most tired, and stood behind her and gently massaged her head to brush away the tiredness of the day.
Some people say that only when you lose do you know how to cherish, and this is right.
When she was there, whenever she was disturbed by various things in the previous dynasty, she would hide in him, and after her comfort, she could regain her fighting spirit the next day.
But now, in the dead of night, he always thinks of the woman, the gentle woman who never seems to be angry, the harbor where he can rest for a while.
But he left, leaving himself forever on the day the sixth child was born, which also made him more or less disgusted with the sixth child?
Sometimes I can't help but wonder if if there was no birth of the sixth child, would that gentle woman still be by her side, and she would still have a place to hide when she encountered difficulties, instead of just carrying it on.
So after the sixth child was born, he left the sixth child to the queen to raise, and he never paid too much attention to this son, he was afraid that when he paid more attention to her, he would think about her more.
The disturbances of the court made him tired, and he couldn't hear the slightest good news all year round, either there was a disaster here or a great drought somewhere, or the Huns came to detain the customs again.
Throughout the year, Zhao Duan felt that he was more than ten years old.
And there is no one in the middle of the court.
The old four and the fifth are inseparable, and each has a group of courtiers who support each other all day long.
The prince sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, invincible and watched where the two younger brothers were jumping desperately, and from time to time he gave the two of them a big bidou to let them know who the eldest brother was.
I want to support the crown prince, and first, according to the order of the eldest and youngest, the prince should inherit his position.
Second, the crown prince is also the most qualified heir, and the fourth and fifth old people have various defects, but the most important thing is that their foreign forces are too strong, once these two are put on the throne, the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably usher in the era of the dictatorship of foreign relatives, which is very unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty.
But he can't blatantly support the prince, so he can only try to increase the weight of the prince in secret, secretly suppress these two boys, and balance their strength.
It's not that he doesn't want to quickly cut through the mess to solve their foreign family, but his current strength does not allow it.
Behind the fourth is the military, the Ding family is a famous heirloom of the Great Song Dynasty, and the children of the family are all over the Great Song Dynasty, which can directly or indirectly affect nearly half of the army of the Great Song Dynasty.
This is still the Song Emperor's continuous suppression over the years to regain most of the military power, otherwise the power of the Ding family is even more terrifying, in the period of the first emperor, the Ding family can directly or indirectly control nearly eighty percent of the army of the Great Song Dynasty.
When the first emperor died, the Ding family had bad thoughts, but under Emperor Song's set of successive elimination belts to show the enemy weakness, he took advantage of the Song family's carelessness to recover most of the military power in one fell swoop, which made the Ding family honest and did not dare to act rashly.
But in order to stabilize the Ding family, he had to marry the daughter of the Ding family as a concubine.
After having the fourth child, the Ding family turned to support the fourth child, hoping that the fourth child would inherit the throne so that they could have another chance.
The old five is more complicated, behind the old five is not one force, but two!
On the one hand, it is the support of the foreign prime minister, Zhang He, who has received the support of most of the civilian and official groups.
On the other hand, a force hidden in the Great Song Dynasty for thousands of years is also secretly supporting the fifth child and providing help to the fifth child, which can make him not fall behind in the fourth pair with the help of the Ding family.
Thinking of that force, Zhao Duan's eyes flashed with a cold glint!
If it weren't for them, he would have solved the Ding family a long time ago.
When they had the opportunity to solve the Ding family, they stood up and forced themselves to give up targeting the Ding family.
Now seeing that the Ding family who wants to support them ignores them, they support their other son to fight with the Ding family.
What did they think of my Great Song royal family?
Is it a reward for winning a duel?
Someday! Someday!
Zhao Duan's fist squeaked!
One day I'm going to wipe you out!
What the Ding family! What a millennium family!
I'm going to turn you all into powder!
He breathed a sigh of relief and dissipated the depression in his heart.
Zhao Duan got up and looked at the palace in front of him, which had been cleaned and cleaned, even though it had not been inhabited for twenty years.
Zhao Duan sighed and ordered, "Double the amount of materials and silver for the sixth child this year." ”
Cao Shuang frowned when he heard this, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is no reason for this to suddenly double the amount of silver allocated to King Yun, and I am afraid that the Ministry of Household Affairs will not agree." ”
Zhao Duan snorted unhappily, and then said: "There is no need to go through the household, this extra money comes out of my inner pocket!" I paid for my son's own subsidy, and it was not their turn to care! ”
Seeing that His Majesty said this, he also gave a solution, and Cao Shuang respectfully agreed.
Then the two returned to Funing Palace.
At the palace banquet, Zhao Ming, who was presiding over the Chinese New Year's Eve Hundred Officials' Night Banquet, soon learned that his father and emperor wanted to double the material silver allocated to the sixth elder at his own expense.
After pondering for a while, he found a place and whispered to his personal attendant to take 10,000 taels of silver from his treasury and fill it in.
The little eunuch took the order and left, and in the Funing Palace, Emperor Song, who was about to rest, suddenly heard that the crown prince had added 10,000 taels of silver to the sixth child, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
is worthy of being his most satisfied son, brother and brother, this is the scene he wants to see the most.
The night was getting deeper.
The palace night banquet also stopped at the beginning of the year, and the officials of each ministry went back to their homes to find their own mothers, and the concubines, princes, princesses, and princesses in the palace also went back to their palaces to rest.
The fourth and fifth snorted coldly at each other, and each left with a group of people.
The palace was silent again, except for the bright lights that were still burning, illuminating the entire palace.
This is a custom in the palace, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, all candles in the palace cannot be extinguished, and it lasts until the jade rabbit disappears the next morning.
The cool breeze blew through the imperial city, driving the candle flame to flicker and darken, just like the current Great Song Dynasty does not know what the road ahead is......
Transition two first, and some of them have to be explained, otherwise many book friends will have some doubts.
