Chapter 269: Alternation of the old and the new
Ciyuan Hall.
The smoke and clouds are curling, and the Sanskrit singing is endless.
In the incense hall, Xie Daoqing knelt on his knees, sat quietly in front of Guanyin, holding a string of Buddhist beads in both hands, and chanting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth.
This habit has been cultivated by Xie Daoqing since the death of Li Zong, and the purpose is nothing more than to pray to the Buddha, hoping that the Buddha can bless the Great Song Dynasty and let the Great Song Dynasty continue. Only in this way can she feel a little at ease and not feel lonely because of this.
"Queen Mother. It's almost time, so let's get some rest. ”
A palace maid walked over, still holding a nightgown in her hand, which was also a little old, with patches on it, and looked quite plain.
Xie Daoqing's eyes opened, and he suddenly felt a jump in his heart, and his eyes fell slightly on the statue of Guanyin, which was bathed in incense, this Guanyin can be described as a treasure like Zhuanghua and extremely holy, but in an instant it became the appearance of Xiao Feng, and immediately shook his head and replied: "No, let me recite the scriptures for another hour." ”
"Okay. ”
In desperation, the maid had no choice but to retreat.
Xie Daoqing sighed slightly, and refocused his gaze to look at the Guanyin, who was still the same as before, before he was relieved: "Could it be that there is an illusion, so that this Guanyin is regarded as that Xiao Feng? Although it is slim, she is still willing to pay all the price for this purpose.
With his eyes slightly closed, Xie Daoqing sat down again, and began to recite Buddhist scriptures in his mouth.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the temple.
"Queen Mother, it's not good! Queen Mother, it's not good!"
With a "bang", the man slammed open the door directly and went straight to the Xiangtang bed, and there was panic in his voice.
"Xiaofuzi, what happened to make you so flustered?"
Opening his eyes, Xie Daoqing frowned and looked at the person in the distance.
The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and complained: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, it's not that Xiaofuzi is panicking, it's really Your Majesty, Your Majesty he-"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with him?" Xie Daoqing continued to ask.
Xiao Fuzi replied: "Your Majesty, the immortal is gone!"
With a "bang", the Buddha bead in Xie Daoqing's hand fell to the ground, and he muttered: "Immortal, immortal is gone?"
"That's right. It's in that Funing Palace!" Xiao Fuzi's body trembled, and his mouth trembled when he said the news, after not hearing the sound for a long time, he raised his head, but saw Xie Daoqing's face pale, and hurriedly asked, "Queen Mother, what should I do next?"
"Sure enough, have you waited for this day after all?"
Xie Daoqing smiled bitterly, her face was full of pathos, and she didn't need that little fuzi to tell, she already knew what the reason was.
Standing up strongly, Xie Dao raised his voice clearly: "Reflecting red, frost clear." You two come here, and come with me to the Funing Hall to see how your Majesty is doing now. Taking a deep breath, his eyes fell on the little Fuzi, and he said, "You go and gather the ministers and let them wait in the Qinzheng Palace, understand? After confirming the facts, I will tell the ministers." ”
"The little one understands. ”
Xiao Fuzi bowed down and immediately left the place.
Subsequently, Xie Daoqing also walked towards the Funing Hall with the support of Yinghong and Shuangqing.
This news was so shocking that she had already been so frightened that her legs were weak, and it was difficult to stand, let alone leave.
In this way, after the three of them walked for about a quarter of an hour, they came to the Funing Palace. And in this Funing Palace, it has long been blocked by the guards, and it is difficult for anyone to enter. When the guard saw the queen mother coming, he also hurriedly made a move and let Xie Daoqing walk into the hall.
Stepping into it, Xie Daoqing immediately frowned, just because on the dragon bed, there were four or five naked young women lying down, these women had a horrified face, and their bodies were trembling, obviously they were also frightened, and among them lay Zhao Xuan, the son of the current Song Dynasty.
This Zhao Xuan was also naked, covered with kiss marks, and was obviously in a state of bliss before he died.
"Doctor, has it been decided?"
Xie Daoqing was only dumbfounded by the scene in front of him, so he had to close his eyes and move his head.
For her nephew, Xie Dao understood his temperament early in the morning, and now he will die on it, which is also rare.
The imperial physician bowed his head and replied, "Empress Dowager Qi, it has been determined that Your Majesty has died. It's just the Queen Mother, what's next?"
"What's next?"
Xie Daoqing's face was so sad that he cried directly: "Next, it depends on the opinions of the ministers of the DPRK and China." ”
Now it is at a time when the internal troubles are unaware and the foreign enemy is in danger, but this Zhao Xuan is gone because of these things, if she wants to maintain it, even she doesn't know, there is only one thought in her heart.
"Could it be that my Great Song is really going to be finished?"
——————
The matter of Lin'an soon spread to Xiangyang.
After hearing the news, Xiao Feng also laughed heartily: "I didn't expect that Zhao Xuan really passed away? ”
When everyone heard this, they were also very excited.
"According to the will of the lord, isn't the time come?"
Xiao Feng replied: "Of course. The first emperor has passed away, so it is naturally the time for the new emperor to take the throne. If I take advantage of this time to support the new emperor, and wait until the ministers of Lin'an react, then I will miss a good opportunity. If I give up this great opportunity, it will be dull. ”
A few words naturally made everyone donate blood and boil.
Earlier, they were still arguing about whether to set up a new emperor, but now that Zhao Xuan died, it was a great opportunity for them.
Even Gundam doesn't have any opinion on this matter.
"Yan Shen, Zheng Yuanlong, the two of you immediately began to mobilize troops and horses to carry out operations anytime and anywhere. As for Lu Wenhuan and Gundam, the two of you are preparing for the enthronement ceremony in this Xiangyang, and when Zhao Yu arrives here, you will immediately start moving. Got it?"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Xiao Feng also immediately gave an order.
After the ship and train, the news was quickly transmitted to Chang'an, and Yang Chenglong immediately cheered up, quickly found Zhao Hao, and escorted him all the way to Xiangyang.
——————
"This is Xiangyang?"
Looking at the city in the distance, Zhao Yu trembled and stepped down from the ship.
Compared with the immature boy nine years ago, Zhao Yu has now grown into a weak-crowned boy with a height of seven feet, although his body is a little thin because of his long-term study, but his appearance is also quite handsome, but it has attracted many girls to pay attention frequently.
Wang Ling followed closely, seeing that Zhao Yu hesitated slightly, he hurriedly urged: "That's right, this is Xiangyang." Let's hurry down, but don't make King Jin wait for a long time, understand?"
"King Jin again?" Zhao Yu paused, his face showed some repulsion, and complained: "I said Mr. Wang, can't I not go?"
After Wang Ling heard this, he suddenly showed an angry expression and shouted, "Your Highness." What nonsense are you talking about? You should call King Jin your mother, but you are not the King of Jin! Otherwise, if others listen to it, you will be ridiculed. ”
"I see. ”
Zhao Hao muttered, and under Wang Ling's persecution, he had no choice but to accept it.
For Xiao Feng, he doesn't have much affection, after all, the words exchanged in a year are no more than ten sentences, how to get the feelings. In Zhao Yu's memory, the impression of Xiao Feng is only a few backs, and the other understanding is only from the newspaper.
Wang Ling sighed and said, "I know you don't want to accept it. But that's your only hope to save your country, you know? Remember, no matter what happens next, you don't want to reject it, you know?"
Wang Ling also knows a lot about this disciple, and naturally knows that his temperament is slightly pessimistic, and he doesn't have much affection for the things around him, especially for Xiao Feng's arrangement.
However, today is an important day, so naturally Zhao Yu can't afford to lose his temper at this time and spoil the next big thing.
When the two were talking, a team of about 100 people came in the distance, all of them were warriors, which showed that their morale was huge.
Walking out of the crowd, Wang Mu raised his chin slightly and complained, "May I ask who is Zhao Hao?"
"Your Highness is here, but I don't know who it is?"
Before Zhao Yu could react, Wang Ling had already stood up, and his gaze at Wang Mu was also a little displeased. No matter how Zhao Yu is also the son of the current King of Jin, the little girl in front of him calls her by her name, which is really annoying.
Wang Mu sensed the hostility of the other party, snorted from his mouth, and replied: "I am Wang Mu, and I have come here to meet Zhao Yu according to the order of the lord. If you don't want to, then I'll go. As he spoke, his eyes swept over Wang Ling's side and fell on Zhao Yu, who was hiding behind him, revealing a scrutinizing attitude, and his heart was also full of imagination.
"Hmph. It's really disappointing that such a person is the son of the lord? ”
For Zhao Yu, Wang Mu has also heard of it, and after knowing that his identity was originally the royal family of the Song family, he was only sent to Chang'an because of the conclusion of the alliance and became the heir of the Jin prince, and there is nothing else.
After all, in Chang'an, for such a so-called highness, there are also many rejections, thinking that it is just a despicable person in the Song Dynasty who seeks to seize the foundation of the Chinese army.
Wang Mu was also affected by some influences, and now seeing Zhao Hao's face and displeasure, his heart was even more angry: "It's just because of the royal identity that I can be made the emperor today." In this way, he still put on such a displeased appearance, don't you really think that you will really become an emperor from now on?"
Although he was unhappy in his heart, Wang Mu never showed his attitude.
She bowed and said, "In that case, then please come with me." After all, the lord has been waiting for a long time in Tianzitai, just waiting for you to show up. ”
"I'll understand. ”
Wang Ling understood the severity, and hurriedly responded, and immediately tugged at Zhao Yu's sleeve and complained, "Your Highness, we should go." ”
"Okay. ”
With a gentle word, although Zhao Yu was unhappy in his heart, he understood that today's actions were just to deceive the world, and even if he became an emperor, he was just a puppet at the mercy of others, and he could not change the status quo at all.
However, when facing the soldiers who were eyeing him, he was still frightened and could only respond.
"Good. Please come over here so that we can protect you. You must know that this Xiangyang has just been captured, and peace has not really been restored. In order to prevent accidents, we must protect them. Wang Mu complained again, leading the two of them into a carriage.
After the two of them sat down, Wang Mu left here with the group and went straight to Tianzitai.
And on the Tianzi platform, Xiao Feng had already prepared with many ministers, just waiting for Zhao Yu to come here.
