Chapter 170 The sensible little emperor(1/2)
Xu Xian stared at Zhao Pu and sneered: "I really did not take the official family seriously but in my heart, and did not dare to forget even a single word of the official family's will. On the contrary, it was Wang Yansheng who killed the court nobles and regarded the official family's will as if it was nothing!"
"
"Han Tong resisted Master Wang and deserved to die!"
"Then what's wrong with his family? Did you instigate Mr. Zhao to defend Wang Yansheng like this? It turns out that you, Mr. Zhao, are the ones who don't take officials seriously!"
"You! You slandered me!"
Zhao Kuangyin slapped the table and scolded: "You two, stop arguing!"
Now Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to slap himself in the face. He must have been fooled by lard before entering the city, so he said those words "Those who disobey orders will be killed." Now he had lost a close general in vain, and he was embarrassed and embarrassed.
He sighed helplessly and said: "Wang Yansheng did not abide by the military order and died unjustly. In recognition of his meritorious service, he will be given a generous pension and a generous burial. Then he will choose a son to take over his position in the front office of the palace." After speaking, he said to Xu Xian: "Second sister, I will wait for you in the back office.
Li, you go see her first and don't worry her."
"Thank you, officials!" Xu Xian turned around and walked out of the lobby as soon as he handed over his hands. He acted arrogantly and arrogantly, just like Wang Jun and Wang Yin in the past. When he left the lobby, people were still turning to look at him, their eyes full of
Anger or fear.
If Zhao Kuangyin wants to be a wise king and a holy master, he must show his benevolence, justice and magnanimity; but Xu Xian cannot, especially at this moment. As long as he is a little weak, a group of people will rush up and tear him to pieces, and Zhao Kuangyin may not be among them.
After leaving the lobby, Xu Xian went to the back office, which was heavily guarded by the guards of the Zhao and Xu families. When he saw Xu Xian coming in, he immediately went to report it. Zhao Kuangyin had not yet ascended the throne, but the royal rules had already been laid out.
Xu Xian followed the guard into the living room. Only the Du family and her daughter were drinking tea in the hall. The backup royal family was about to become a full-time official. Du family was naturally happy. When she saw Xu Xian, she greeted her enthusiastically: "It's time to come to Zhixian.
Ning Xiu was worried about you just now, please serve tea to Zhixian."
Xu Xian stepped forward and paid homage to Du: "I have met the Queen Mother!"
Du Shi giggled when she heard this, "Zhixian is the best at talking, and you are the first to call me that, giggle..." She covered her mouth and laughed like an old hen laying eggs, and it took a long time before she stopped.
After laughing, she straightened her expression and said, "I am really happy to see Zhixian laughing."
"The Queen Mother and her ministers are saying these things, which is really unreasonable. The Zhao family is destined to change the dynasty. It is really a great joy, so I should congratulate it!"
"I just heard what Ting Yi said. Without Zhi Xian's help, Yuen Long might not even be able to enter the city gate. When Yuen Long ascends the throne, I will ask him to reward you well."
"Brother Yuen Long is both my adopted brother and my wife-in-law, so I should help him."
If this old lady knew that Zhao Kuangyin had not officially proclaimed himself emperor yet, he would bite off a piece of the Zhao family's fortune, and she would probably hit someone with a cane.
Xu Xian turned around and looked at Zhao Ningxiu again, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the eldest princess!"
Zhao Ningxiu sneered when she heard this, "You will make fun of me! I ask you this, princess? Have you ever had a concubine in Bazhou in the past six months or so?"
"I have long expected that Brother Yuen Long will be like this? So I didn't dare to violate the princess's taboo."
Du said: "You two should stop acting. If the couple continues to live like this, it's better to settle down with Li as soon as possible."
"My son-in-law was just joking with Ning Xiu. Where are Hong Hai'er and Xiao Can?"
Zhao Ningxiu said: "Xiao Can is resting in the back. I didn't take Hong Boy with me and left it with Lao Zhang? It should be fine."
"Then I can rest assured. Are you afraid that something will happen to you? Since everything is safe, I will leave!"
Zhao Ningxiu said again: "We just met each other half a year ago? We haven't said a few words yet? Where are we going again?"
"Where can I go, I can help the official family to ascend the throne."
Du said: "You have time to walk slowly? I have a few words to tell you!"
"If your mother-in-law has something to say, tell her directly. My son-in-law is all ears!"
Du said softly: "Even if Yuen Long He deserves this wealth, it is inevitable that some people will not accept it. If someone makes trouble? You must help him."
Xu Xian comforted him and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law? I will certainly help Brother Yuen Long."
Xu Xian handed over his hands and walked out of the house. After walking a few steps, Zhao Ningxiu chased him out again, "Don't worry, even if it's for your sake, I have to help Brother Yuen Long wear the title of eldest princess firmly.
of!"
"Who told you this! I'm too lazy to worry about your men's affairs!" Zhao Ningxiu lowered her voice and said: "I want to tell you Sister Liying, when my brother comes back to the palace, you must take good care of her. Don't
She was bullied."
Xu Xian was startled and then smiled and said, "You're not jealous!"
Zhao Ningxiu sighed and said: "She is a pitiful person. How can I be jealous of her? Now she can't even be the queen mother, and I don't know where she will end up."
"Don't worry, Brother Yuen Long is a man of honor, and he won't treat her harshly even without me."
"That's true! But with you taking care of her, she will feel better."
Xu Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If she knew that I participated in the mutiny, I'm afraid she would only blame me more. The big thing has been decided, you don't need to take care of anything here, just go home and wait for me." He suddenly lowered his voice and whispered: "Speaking of which
I haven’t fought with you for a long time.”
"Bah! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" Zhao Ningxiu spat heavily and turned around to leave.
Xu Xian came to the front office and saw a group of ministers, princes, princes and ministers invited in by Zhang Qiong. They were all big shots in the city of Tokyo, and even the ministers were not close to them. Seeing them entering the lobby, Xu Xian knew that the show was about to begin again, and quietly
He walked to the door and stretched his head to look inside.
When a group of important ministers saw Zhao Kuangyin after the case, they held up their hands but said nothing. They probably didn't know what to say or even how to address Zhao Kuangyin. The scene was a bit awkward for a while.
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly showed sadness, stretched out a hand to put his forehead, and cried: "I have been favored by Emperor Shizong and forced by the Sixth Army. Once I get here and shame the world, what will happen? Wuwu..."
He cried, and the tears came at once. In the blink of an eye, his face was covered with tears. His burly body trembled from time to time with the sound of sobs. His bitterness and helplessness were hard to express in words.
However, the close confidants and generals were all hard-hearted. Instead of wiping away their tears and cooperating, they surrounded Zhao Kuangyin with ferocious sentiments and said without saying a word, "The armies have no masters. We are willing to make the Taiwei the emperor!"
I don't know who put the disappeared yellow robe on Zhao Kuangyin again. All the generals and generals knelt on the ground, while the invited ministers were bowing in place and didn't know what to do.
It is not terrible to be treated as a cartilage without integrity, but it is not good to be treated as a cartilage by the world and future generations. No one wants to leave a name in history in this regard.
Xu Xian looked at the situation in the room and said to Zhang Qiong: "It's embarrassing to waste the official family like this. It's your turn, Commander Zhang, to take action!"
Zhang Qiong said softly: "How can I help? How about I kick their legs?"
"Who asked you to kick them!" Xu Xianfu muttered a few words. Zhang Qiong smiled and nodded: "Your princess is so thoughtful!" He ordered more than ten people standing in front of the door and made a gesture to everyone. Draw the sword.
Clang, clang, clang...
The sharp blade and scabbard made a crisp buzzing sound as they rubbed against each other, and a kneeling voice immediately sounded in the lobby, "There is no clear master in the world, please ask the Taiwei to succeed to the throne of the emperor!"
Xu Xian glanced at the lobby. The first person to bow to Zhao Kuangyin was Prime Minister Wang Pu. If someone started, the rest was no problem. Then came Prime Minister Fan Zhi, who was known for being proud and stubborn. As for Wei Renpu, he had already had an affair with Zhao Kuangyin. , now unwilling to be outdone, several of the late emperor's Tuogu ministers had turned against him, and the others had nothing to say, so they all knelt down and asked Zhao Kuangyin to succeed him as emperor.
Zhao Kuangyin still cried bitterly, "I have received great favor from the Guo family, how can I seize the throne from him..."
The soldiers were all anxious and anxious, and they couldn't stand Zhao Kuangyin's grinding and whining. They helped him out of the palace and helped him mount his horse, and followed him to the palace.
The palace was not far away, but within half a stick of incense, the closed palace door opened immediately. Han Chongyun walked out of the palace door and came forward to prostrate himself: "I respectfully welcome the Lord!"
Zhao Kuangyin no longer acted coyly in front of the palace and said softly: "Come on, what's the situation in the palace now?"
Han Chongyun cupped his hands and replied: "The Queen Mother originally wanted to take the Emperor to Tianqing Temple, but the Emperor refused to leave. The Queen Mother could only stay with him in the Middle Palace. Now Lao Mu leads twenty or thirty people in the Middle Palace. , I don’t dare to use force until I get the Lord’s will.”
"Let them stay in the middle palace, and we will just do our own thing."
What he has to do is to formally ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Chongyuan Hall, and accept the worship of hundreds of officials. Only then can he be justified.
Zhao Pu looked at the sun in the southwest and said, "Time waits for no one. Your Majesty, it is better to enter the palace quickly."
There was indeed no reason to ascend the throne at night. Zhao Kuangyin knelt on the horse's belly and slowly entered the palace. Seeing that he was about to reach Chongyuan Hall, Zhao Kuangyin dismounted.
Unexpectedly, several people suddenly jumped out from behind the steps on one side. Zhang Qiong quickly drew his sword and protected Zhao Kuangyin with his subordinates. Those people were all dressed as eunuchs and were holding two children in their arms. Seeing Zhang Qiong suddenly He drew his sword and fell to his knees in panic.
Zhang Qiong stepped forward and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing?"
One of the eunuchs raised his head and said: "General, don't be alarmed. This servant is responsible for taking care of the princes in the palace, and is preparing to... prepare to send the two princes out of the palace!"
There are several gates to the palace. If you want to send the prince out of the palace, you can go to any gate. There is no reason to go through the tightly guarded main gate. He also chose Zhao Kuangyin to come out when he entered the palace. Anyone who is not stupid can see that these days The eunuch was using the two young princes to claim credit from Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin's dark face turned red in an instant and turned livid in an instant. His eyes were full of shame, and he blurted out: "How dare you send the prince here!"
Hearing this, Zhang Qiong quickly scolded: "You cheap maid, why don't you take her away and deal with her!"
The two children, both three or four years old, were frightened by Zhang Qiong's voice and burst into tears. The eunuch quickly covered the children's mouths and turned to leave.
The ministers watched the two children leave and shook their heads and sighed, but no one said anything to stop them. Only Pan Mei kept stamping her feet with a bitter face. Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and looked at Pan Mei and asked coldly: "Zhong Xun, do you think this is okay?
Is it appropriate?"
Pan Mei clasped her fists and was about to answer when she heard someone shout loudly: "You are brave, slave, please send these two children back quickly!"
Everyone looked around and saw Xu Xian blushing and shouting angrily at the leaving eunuchs. The eunuchs didn't know who was talking and immediately turned around and came back.
Seeing someone taking the lead, Pan Mei immediately said: "How dare I think it's inappropriate, but I don't feel at ease in terms of principles."
Another person came up to persuade him: "Yao and Shun's teachings will not dethrone Zhu Jun. Your Majesty, how can you accept Zhou Chan now and not be able to survive after him?"
Zhao Kuangyin took a closer look and saw that it was Lu Yan, the founding general of the country, Dr. Ronglu. Lu Yan was also a subordinate of Guo Wei. His founding general was awarded by Guo Wei. It was reasonable for him to plead for Chai Rong's heirs.
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "That's right. Since you two are interested, just take them home to raise them." He then ordered Zhang Qiong: "Send someone to send the two children to the homes of the two Aiqings!"
Pan Mei and Lu Yan quickly stepped forward to express their thanks, but Xu Xian did not step forward to ask for one because he knew Zhao Kuangyin would not give it to him.
After dealing with this little episode, Zhao Kuangyin climbed up the steps and entered the Chongyuan Hall, and walked slowly towards the dragon chair on the Danqi. He never thought that this position would be so close to him.
Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was almost at the foot of Danqi and still not stopping, Pan Mei reminded: "Your Majesty, you'd better go to the back hall first, where the crown has been prepared for you."
Zhao Kuangyin came to his senses and nodded: "Then let's go to the back hall first."
