Zhao Yun left the Funing Palace in a hurry, and the imperial guards Zhang Tong, Deng Ming, Wang Wushi and others followed closely behind and followed Zhao Yun out of the palace.
"Mom, brother, are you okay?"
When they arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion, the fire had been put out, but it was still crowded with people. Zhao Yun finally found his mother, Zhao Quanshi, and his younger brother, Zhao Yurui, among the crowd.
"Yun'er, our house was on fire, and many houses were burned down."
When Zhao Quan saw Zhao Yun, she buried her head in Zhao Yun's arms and cried. Her younger brother Zhao Yurui was also frightened, with a look of fear on his face.
Obviously, the fire last night was sudden and fierce, which frightened them all.
But fortunately, it was a palace after all, covering a vast area, and the place where the fire broke out was not the courtyard where they lived, so they all escaped safely in the end.
"Mom, don't be afraid, the child is here, it's okay, it's okay."
Zhao Yun kept comforting his mother, looking at the place where the fire burned. Black smoke was rising everywhere, and it was dark. Veins popped up on Zhao Yun's face and hands.
What is arrogance and what is lawlessness? Zhao Yun had a deep understanding at this moment.
The people who were watching soon knew Zhao Yun's identity and that it was an official who was coming. They all knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and fell to their knees with cheers.
Zhao Yun turned a blind eye to this. At this moment, Zhao Yun was surrounded by anger. At this moment, Zhao Yun wanted to kill someone!
Empress Dowager Yang, Shi Miyuan, you are too arrogant. I, Zhao Yun, will not be a human being unless I take revenge!
So far, Zhao Yun's fight for power has been a battle of wisdom and scheming with Empress Dowager Yang Shi Miyuan. Even if it was the only time Zhao Yun made a move, it was Zhao Yun who hit him on the head.
This is all a literary fight.
But now Shi Miyuan and Queen Mother Yang's actions have gone too far. If they are unlucky, Zhao Yun's mother and younger brother may be burned to death in the fire. This kind of fighting method is too crude and too irritating.
This has directly escalated to a fight!
Okay, don't you want me to leave the palace? Okay, not only am I leaving the palace now, I am also living outside the palace. I won't go back. If you have the ability, you can burn me to death too.
Zhao Yun lost his temper and said in front of everyone: "From today on, I will live in Prince Rong's Mansion and personally protect my mother's safety until I find out how the fire started."
The Song Dynasty almost took the word "filial piety" to its extreme. From the royal family to the common people, everyone highly praised the word "filial piety".
If a person is accused of being unfilial, the most likely outcome is that he will be beaten to death by his relatives and neighbors in the street, and the government will not pursue him. It can be said that the world is not as important as filial piety.
Zhao Yun now refuses to return to the palace on the grounds of protecting his mother's safety. No one can blame him for this. Anyway, Zhao Yun is not personally in charge of the government. He returns to the palace to show off when the court meeting is held. It will not delay anyone's business and no one can do it.
accuse.
"Your Majesty is truly benevolent and filial."
"Your Majesty, your benevolence and filial piety should be a model for everyone in the world. We should all sing praises to Your Majesty and learn from Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun's behavior won unanimous praise from the people, and everyone's favorable impression of Zhao Yun doubled. The stories of Zhao Yun's deeds of not even staying in the palace to protect his mother were spread in the streets, and everyone admired him.
Empress Dowager Yang learned that Zhao Yun would not return to the palace, so she sent someone to urge him. However, Zhao Yun was determined and would not go back if he refused, leaving no room for negotiation.
In Cining Hall, Queen Mother Yang looked at Shi Miyuan with a frosty face and said, "Ms. Shi, now that the rumor has been broken, the official family will not return to the palace. What should we do now?"
Shi Miyuan showed a contemptuous smile and said: "Madam, what does it matter whether the official family returns to the palace or not? Is it possible that the sky will fall when the Song Dynasty leaves the official family? The official family has no power, without him
it's the same."
"But he belongs to an official family after all. How is it inappropriate for him to live outside the palace?"
"The official himself is not afraid of being unseemly. What are you afraid of, my dear? If he wants to stay, let him stay. I want to see how long he can last."
Although Zhao Yun has shown a sense of presence at these times, which is impressive, for Shi Miyuan, he still doesn't care about an emperor who has no personal power and no say in the court.
Shi Miyuan believed that no matter how much trouble Zhao Yun made, he could not escape from his clutches.
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Zhao Yun accompanied his mother Zhao Quanshi and his younger brother Zhao Yurui, and it was a rare occasion for the family to have dinner together.
Zhao Yun tried his best to make his mother happy and said things that her mother liked to hear, so that her mother could gradually recover from the fire.
At night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, but Zhao Yun did not sleep, but sat there quietly, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, a deliberately lowered voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"who?"
"It's me, Xia Gui."
"Come in."
Xia Gui gently opened the door and walked in. He raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Wei has been contacted. Please come with me."
"lead the way."
Zhao Yun regained his energy and immediately ordered Xia Gui to lead the way. He left Prince Rong's Mansion without knowing it.
Shi Miyuan and Empress Dowager Yang never imagined that the fire they lit in Prince Rong's Mansion would indirectly help Zhao Yun and greatly improve Zhao Yun's freedom of movement.
It was impossible for their eyes and ears to monitor Zhao Yun like they did in the palace.
Zhao Yun finally followed Xia Gui to a private house, where a man dressed simply and with a few patches on his clothes was waiting.
As soon as he saw Zhao Yun coming, the man immediately raised his hand solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, Han Hong, has met."
Yes, this person is Han Hong, the contemporary King of Wei County.
"No gift."
Zhao Yun raised his hand and looked at Han Hong carefully. Seeing that he was in his fifties, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and an extraordinary bearing, he looked like he was not ordinary at first sight, and he couldn't help but want to take him under his command.
Zhao Yun said: "Han Qing's family, you are well aware of the situation in our Song Dynasty. The Queen Mother and Shi Miyuan control the government, are arrogant and domineering, and treat me like a child. I am the emperor, but they have no right to speak at all. This has become
How unbecoming!"
Han Hong's face was serious and solemn, and he didn't speak for a short time.
To be honest, he didn't want to come into the muddy waters of the court, but Zhao Yun sent Xia Gui to express his intentions, so he asked him face to face whether he cared about Zhao Yun's life or death. As a minister, he couldn't do anything now.
After a while, Han Hong raised his hand and asked sincerely: "May I ask Your Majesty, are you ready for the great burden of the Song Dynasty?"
"Of course I'm ready. As the emperor, I shoulder the hope of the world. How dare I treat them as a joke? Now our Song Dynasty is in turmoil. If not, why would I have to fight for power with them?" This chapter has been completed!
