Cry for Song

Chapter 269 Shaozhou will be in distress

Knowing that the Empress Dowager had the intention to let Zhao Zongyu replace him, Emperor Yingzong did not dare to let people know about Zhong Zhu's private departure from the capital, and the sense of crisis that would be replaced at any time was tormenting him all the time. He himself knew that not long after he ascended the throne, the foundation of the court was unstable, especially the empress dowager must have the support of ministers. Later, not to mention the strike of the six imperial historians in the imperial court, which shocked a lot in the court. At this time, Emperor Yingzong was like walking on thin ice, and his anxiety was also seen by a person. This person was Cheng Qin Minxue, the secretary in charge of the anthology,

Among the many officials in the court, Qin Minxue is relatively familiar with Zhong Jian. On the one hand, Qin Minxue is also young but deeply appreciated by Yingzong. When Yingzong did not ascend the throne, Qin Minxue was a regular guest of Pu Di. Second, Qin Minxue is in charge of the Chinese collection of the palace. Usually, what Zhao Zhongzhen wants to see, he will naturally come to Qin Minxue. Zhao Zhongzhen If the sky doesn't come to borrow the collection, it won't come for two or three days, or even for three or five days. Qin Minxue doesn't care much, but if he doesn't come for ten days and a half a month, Qin Minxue will be a little strange. Is Zhao Zhongzhen sick? Will there be no news even if he is sick? He secretly inquired the royal pharmacy and there is no record of the prince Zhao Zhongzhe's illness.

On this day, he took advantage of the opportunity of Yingzong's request for the classics and sent them to the vertical arch hall. Seeing that Yingzong had just retreated and was walking around in the room with an anxious face, Qin Minxue gently put the classics requested by Yingzong on the table and carefully asked, "Your Highness is a troublesome thing."

Yingzong smiled bitterly and said, "It's more than annoyance." At present, he was worried that there was no one to discuss. When he saw Qin Minxue at a glance, he thought that although this person was young, he was capable and he still pulled it out by himself. " By the way, you are also familiar with Zhong Cun. Do you think if he was not in Yingwangfu, where would he go?"

Qin Minxue was quite smart. He immediately guessed that the emperor was worried about Zhong Jian, and he thought from Yingzong's tone that Zhong Jian did not know where he was going, otherwise the emperor would not ask like this: "Your Majesty, if Zhong Jian is still in the capital, then I think the officials who are familiar with him in the court will persuade him to go back home." After he finished speaking, he stood with his head down and waited for Yingzong's question,

"Well, if he is not in the capital, where will he go?" Yingzong asked again,

"Not in the capital." Qin Minxue was a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong. He couldn't help looking up at Emperor Yingzong. Seeing that Emperor Yingzong was full of sadness, he thought that this was definitely not a joke. This matter was a big deal: "If you leave the capital, you can probably only visit relatives and friends. I don't think anyone has the courage to send letters back as soon as he knows that the prince leaves the capital."

Zhao Shu's eyes suddenly lit up. He said to himself, "I'm afraid there is really a person in the world who has such a great courage. Why didn't I think of it?"

Qin Minxue looked at Zhao Shu doubtfully: "What the emperor said is, "

"Who else can be? He is so bold and good friends with Zhong Zhu, only Wang. Alas, I thought Zhong Zhu was angry with me and went to Qin Feng Road, and he also sent a spy to look in that direction. How could he forget him so confused?"

"Oh, the emperor is talking about him, but although the boy next to the king is bold, he and King Ying are best friends. I don't think he dare to harm King Ying, and King Ying will come back after playing enough. It's better to send someone to pick up King Ying back, and then cure the crime next to the king so as not to startle the snake. He uses King Ying as a shield." Qin Minxue carefully opened the way,

"How do you know that if Zhong Zhi doesn't come back early, Zhao Hao is young. In case the Empress Dowager urges the matter of the prince, how does Zhao Hao compare with Zhao Zongmin?"

Originally, there was such a secret here. Qin Minxue foresaw that the matter was more serious. Now the emperor was not asking himself how to do it. He immediately bowed his head and said nothing. After a moment of silence in the hall, he only heard Yingzong sigh: "If you can put off, you can't delay it. In any case, it is urgent to let Zhong Pin come back early. Qin Minxue."

Hearing Yingzong call his name, Qin Minxue hurriedly said yes. Yingzong said, "If I make you the crown prince, will you willing."

"There's no reason why I don't want to do this. My current secretary is the seventh grade, and Prince Zhan is the sixth grade. I'm getting a promotion. It's too late to be happy." Qin Minxue thought that although the official position is only one grade bigger, this position is the official position of tutoring the prince. In case the prince ascends the throne one day, he can be promoted to Shaofu, Taifu and the emperor's teacher. That's not very powerful.

"I don't seal it now, and it's useless to seal it now. The prince doesn't stand up. I'll leave the matter of finding Zhong Needle to you first. You have to bring Zhong Needle back quietly and properly."

Qin Minxue hurriedly took the order. He knew that this was not too difficult, and what made him more happy was that if Zhao Zhongzhen was really with Wang, as they expected, then Wang was really in his hands this time,

Qin Hui also has three close friends, not to mention Qin Hui's father Qin Minxue. When he left the capital, Qin Minxue went to say goodbye to his good friend. Qin Minxue has a close friend whose identity is also quite unusual. Xu Liang, who used to Gaoyou as a county magistrate, once banqueted Qin Minxue and his friends in Jinxiu Building. This is Gao Public painting, I heard that Qin Minxue was leaving the capital. Looking at Qin Minxue's mysterious appearance, Gao Gonghua knew that Qin Minxue must have something important to do,

Gao Gonghui is the same age as Qin Min. Although his identity is special, he is a person who likes to inquire about things very much. Seeing that Qin Minxue doesn't say anything to do, Gao Gonghui is a little unhappy. Anyway, the two of them are also good buddies. Moreover, there are people around Qin Minxue who want to be officials. Gao Gonghui takes advantage of his relationship with the queen's aunt and nephew. Sports, the second is the division of money. It is mainly the network in the officialdom. With the cooperation of these two people, it is seamless. This boy still hides something from himself. Gao Gonghua has a crooked brain,

Qin Minxue was originally to find Gao Gonghua to resign, but he confusedly made Gao Gonghua drunk. Between the banquet, he told Gao Gonghua about Zhao Zhongzhen's recovery. Now Gao Gonghua was also shocked. He and Zhongzhen were cousins, but they rarely had contact with Zhao Zhongzhen at ordinary times. He didn't like Zhao Zhongzhen's bookish anger. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhongzhen left the capital without permission, and it was also related to who would be the prince. Gao Gonghui thought,

"Min Xue, tell me, if you can't find Zhao Zhongzhen, or if he doesn't have time to come back, will the prince set up Zhao Hao?"

To be fair, Gao Gonghui likes Zhao Hao the most. Every time Zhao Hao sees him, his cousin is short, but Zhao Hao is now a minor. Since Yingzong ascended the throne, Zhao Hao has lived in the palace. Moreover, Gao Gonghua knows that his uncle Zhao Shu is a sick child. He can't help but fantasized. If it is Yingzong one day It's time to kick. Zhao Hao is the prince. That must be Empress Gao's curtain. At that time, the world of the Song Dynasty will be surnamed Gao,

"Zhao Hao is good, Zhao Hao is good" Gao Gonghui couldn't help saying, after all, the needle is big, he has an idea, and the idea is quite right,

Qin Minxue drank in a daze: "What are you talking about? The emperor can say that when Zhao Zhongzhen is found, he will be added to the position of my prince Zhan"

Gao Gonghui took a fan and knocked on Qin Minxue's head: "I said Minxue, why are you confused? You can do your official position no matter who is a prince, but if Zhao Zhongzhen becomes the prince, think about his relationship with Wang, will you have a good life in the future?"

As soon as he heard this, Qin Minxue suddenly woke up more than half of his wine. He sat up straight and said, "Yes, what you mean is not to find Zhao Zhongzhen back."

"Look, you must find it, and you must find it. The key is that if Zhao Zhongpin can't come back, then the king can't get rid of it. What's more, Zhao Hao is only thirteen or fourteen years old now. I don't think the emperor's body may not be able to wait for Zhao Hao to grow up. If the crown prince is Zhao Hao, it will be my aunt hanging the curtain. At that time Can't we call for wind and rain? This is called killing three birds with one stone. Do you understand?

Qin Min looked at Gao Gong's painting in a daze and giggled a few times: "I think I'm good enough. Why are you better than me? That's your cousin"

"Cut, what's wrong with cousins? Not to mention cousins, even their own brothers have candlelight axes." Gao Gonghui said disdainfully,

Qin Minxue laughed. The two people had drunk enough wine. He raised his glass and still toasted and said, "Brother Gao is right. This old Zhao family has this tradition, candlelight and axe shadow. This is the mystery of the Zhao family's Song Dynasty."

Gao Gonghui also said drunkly, "Well, I heard that when Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was about to die, he sent someone to call his son Zhao Defang into the palace, but it was his younger brother Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi ordered the palace eunuch to retreat and accompany Zhao Kuangyin alone. The palace eunuch saw the candlelight swaying in Zhao Kuangyin's palace, and there was the sound of an axe handle hitting the ground. Later, of course, the emperor is Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. Anyway, things in the world are like this. You are not a gentleman, non-toxic and not a husband. If you officials don't stand in the right team, you just point to the three-year inspection and slowly promote your official. When will you survive?

"Okay, I think about it. Anyway, I can't take advantage of the boy next to the king." Qin Minxue said that the two of them clinked glasses again,

The next day, Qin Min learned from the capital. He ran all the way to Shaozhou. He was exhausted all the way, and he was a little worried when he arrived in Shaozhou. He only knew that Wang went to Guangnan, and he also knew that Wang was bound to find Nan Jifeng. Now he was worried about entering Guangnan. How can he not disturb the king? Next to him, he quietly brought Zhao Zhongzhen back. He remembered Gao Gonghua's words again. If he brought Zhao Zhongzhen back, he would definitely not have such a good life.

On this day, Qin Minxue was taking care of his bags and was ready to walk south again. The entourage came back to report. It seemed that he saw a team of people, one of whom was very similar to the king. As soon as Qin Minxue heard this, he immediately ran out of the mansion. The team no longer knew where he was going. He immediately arranged to ask at the gate of the city. The entourage came back and reported that the team had not yet left Shaozhou. The city,

As long as he found them, it would be easy. Qin Minxue was secretly happy. When he returned to the mansion, he thought about it, but he had no clue. He opened the window in boredom, and a deep mansion not far away came into his eyes. What kind of place is it? There was such a big house in Shaozhou City. Now he sent someone to inquire and didn't follow him back to report. He said, "Qin Cheng, that's the Prince's Mansion of Handong."
