Chapter 358 Song Shenzong ascended the throne

On the second day, there was a court meeting, and there was still a procrastination above the court. The king listened to those memorials that had nothing to do with him and thought about the Jinlian meeting in his heart. Suddenly, a voice reached the king's ears. The voice seemed to be a gasp, and it was a very heavy gasp. How could there be such a sound on the hall? Wang Bian raised his head and looked around and suddenly saw that Song Yingzong and Zhao Shu's face was pale. This kind of paleness was no longer his usual pale color, and even his lips were white,

The king immediately looked at the others around him. Some listened to the sound of the court, and some bowed their heads and didn't know what they were thinking. Did he only hear this voice? If he was close to the emperor, then the two prime ministers Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang in front of him, and the prince Zhao Yu beside the emperor, would not It's closer. Looking at Zeng Gongliang and Han Qi, they all listened carefully to the memorial. Wang's eyes were wide open. Looking at Zhao Yu again, Zhao Yu was looking at himself. The two looked at Zhao Yu and saw Wang's frown, showing a blank face.

Suddenly, Song Yingzong Zhao Shu's head tilted, and his whole body fell down. Wang couldn't help saying "ah". He interrupted the person who played it, and everyone also looked at him. Zhao Yu, the prince beside the emperor, hurriedly rushed to Yingzong's side, holding Song Yingzong's body and could no longer care about the etiquette in the court. He shouted, "Father." Even so, Zhao Shu did not respond at all, and the court suddenly became a mess, "Call the imperial doctor quickly." The prince roared at the eunuch behind the emperor. Several officials wanted to get closer. The bodyguards in the hall came close and stopped everyone. Then someone pushed the emperor's dragon wheelchair to the back of the hall.

None of the officials in the court refused to leave. While waiting for the news, everyone whispered to each other. After about an hour, a eunuch quickly stepped in and said, "Queen Yiji, Prime Minister Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang met." The two hurried out of the list. Just a few steps after following the eunuch, Han Qi turned to the ministers in the court and said, "Guys, go back to their respective government office first to wait for the news."

Who can't listen to the prime minister's words? Looking at the situation just now, everyone is like holding a drum in their hearts. The Empress Xuan, Prime Minister, that's not a trivial matter. What's more, the situation of Emperor Yingzong just now makes everyone have an ominous foreboding in their hearts. For Wang, this feeling is not just a hunch, otherwise he will not Zhao Yu was in such a hurry to return to the capital from Dali, but even if he knew the years of Emperor Yingzong's reign and the sudden death of Emperor Yingzong in the court, he still made him feel that the matter was too sudden,

Following the flow of officials who left the palace, Cai Xiang and Ouyang Xiu came to the side of the king. Ouyang Xiu asked in a low voice, "King Zhennan, you know a lot. Look at the situation of the emperor." Wang shook his head. Although he knew that this was history and people's life expectancy could not be changed, he knew that no one dared to break the emperor's life and death. He returned to the palace sullenly. Even the servant told Mrs. Su that she had returned. Wang Zong said no more questions, but asked Lu Shenyan to prepare for the emperor immediately. The official uniform of entering the court at the time of death,

"Your Majesty, you are crazy." Lu Shenyan stared at the king with wide eyes,

"Go and get ready." Wang's words were very serious. Lu Shenyan did not dare to ask more questions and hurriedly followed Wang's instructions.

At dusk, suddenly, the drum music on the Xuande building of the imperial city sounded in unison. This was not the drum music of the last dynasty, let alone the ritual music of the ceremony, but the mourning music of the emperor's death. Then, a line of soldiers came out of the imperial city and posted an announcement outside the city. The whole capital was immediately shocked. The news was too sudden. For a moment, there was a sad and depressing atmosphere in the air. The news spread quickly and immediately spread all over the streets and alleys. When people reacted what had happened, the shops hurriedly withdrew their flags, and the restaurants also sent away the guests. They just returned the vocal music of the dancing and singing. , immediately calm down,

Lu Shenyan, the chief manager of the palace, ordered the family to replace all the lanterns and candles in the house with white. On the same time, he ran to the study next to the king to report the news. He pushed the door and saw that the king was standing in the study with his hands behind his back to his back and looking at the words on the wall, "Your Majesty, it's a big deal. The emperor has died."

To Lu Shenyan's surprise, Wang Zhuo slowly turned around and gently said, "Hmm." With a sound,

"Is everything ready?"

At this time, Lu Shenyan was not only convinced, but also extremely in awe of the prince and said respectfully, "Exactly, I'm ready."

"Alas, bring it here. I'm going to the palace later."

Wang Pian seemed to know everything that was going to happen next. Lu Shenyan did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly took the mourning clothes prepared by the king to enter the palace. Wang Pian also summoned the people in the house to have a temporary meeting and told everyone to do what they had arranged according to the original plan. I'm afraid it will take a few days to come out of the palace, waiting for him to After the instructions, the Huangmen official also sent a notice to let the king enter the palace immediately. The emperor died. Officials above the third grade entered the imperial city. The Ministry of Ceremonies presided over the emperor's funeral ceremony. First, he read the emperor's edict. The country could not be without a king for a day. While reading the edict, he announced that the crown prince Zhao Yu ascended the throne. Three days later, Song Yingzong was buried, and the whole country mourned. Mourning, followed by the crown prince's accession ceremony. During this period, everything seems to be fixed. There is only one thing people think about. The new emperor's succession to the new year name is Xining,

At the ceremony of the new emperor's accession to the throne, Zhao Yu sat on the throne with a blank face. The joy of his first accession to the throne could not replace the grief of losing his father. Looking at the literary and martial arts of the Manchu dynasty, Zhao Yu's mood was very entangled. Can these people govern the Song Dynasty with themselves? The changes his father once wanted to make, and he could Did he realize it during his reign? His eyes swept to Wang's face. At this time, Wang was also looking at himself,

Finally, the alternation of the thrones of the old and new dynasties was completed, but the king did not feel any ease. From Zhao Yu's eyes, the king seemed to see a kind of hope of helplessness, or only the people who really sat there knew what it meant to sit there and the extremely heavy pressure on his shoulders.

After the completion of the throne hall, it was still in the hanging arch hall. At this time, it was not Renzong or Yingzong sitting in the hall, but Zhao Yu, who was just in his early twenties. He was still looking at the king sitting opposite him with the eyes of the chessboard: "Brother Wang, are you really willing to go back to Yongzhou?"

"Your emperor, the matter in Yongzhou has just had a good start. You can't give up halfway, so I will definitely go back to Yongzhou." Wang said with great certainty,

Zhao Yu sighed gently: "You're gone. I don't know what to do."

If it weren't for the hanging arch hall, if it weren't for the distance between the two people's identities, the king would definitely come to Zhao Yu and pat him on the shoulder like a brother to give him some encouragement. However, it's different now. The opposite side is the king of a country. The king bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the two prime ministers and the court. The minister will do his best to assist you.

"You can leave." Zhao Yu looked at the eunuchs serving in the hall. When everyone left, Zhao Yu said, "I know what you said, but these old ministers' fathers consulted them when they were in power. No one can say useful words, that is, brother Wang, you dare to say and do it."

Wang knew that the time was ripe. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you know the situation in Yongzhou. If these measures are implemented throughout the country, what do you think?"

"Of course, but who will do this?"

"I think the emperor should find a person with high moral talent and learning to do this."

"Listen to what Brother Wang means, is there a suitable person to recommend it?" Zhao Yu seems to see a glimmer of hope,

"I don't avoid relatives. I think my father is competent."

"Okay, the official will immediately summon Wang Hanlin, but I still have a condition."

"What's the condition?"

Zhao Yu blinked and begged: "Brother Wang, can you stay in the capital for a few more days? Although I know that there are a lot of things to do now, I have a big head to hear that those old scholars should do this and that, and I'm not in the mood for anything."

His expression made Wang's side really unbearable to go back to Yongzhou like this, so he smiled and said, "What they said is what to do next in etiquette. You must do it. It's nothing to stay in the capital for a few more days. Besides, I still have something to do."

Zhao Yu finally saw a smile on his face, although he smiled a little bitterly: "That's good, Brother Wang, what else do you have to do?"

It was not the time to mention that matter for several days in a row. Today, when I saw Zhao Yu mention it, the king said, "According to the imperial ceremony, after the emperor ascended the throne, in addition to the canonization of empress dowager, the imperial concubine, the queen and the noble concubine, there is another thing to amnesty of the world. I think of a person, but I don't know if the emperor has the emperor's intention to forgive."

Zhao Yu is not a stupid person. Hearing Wang's words, he bowed his head and thought for a while: "If it hadn't been for the death of my father, I'm afraid Brother Wang would have come to me earlier because of this." Seeing that Wang was silent and knew that he was talking about it, Zhao Yu continued to say, "This is not something I can forgive if I want to forgive. This is related to Zu Xun, so I pushed it to Brother Wang. Presumably Brother Wang will be able to come up with a comprehensive plan."

"Yes, but I would like to ask you to summon Qin Shaofu. I have something to ask him in front of the emperor."

Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly. If the king couldn't get along with anyone, it would be endless, so he ordered to summon Qin Minxue. Qin Minxue was also running for Lin Xiuxiu in the past few days, which made him strange. When it came to this matter, the officials of the official department shook his head and learned that the emperor had summoned him. Qin Minxue hurried to the palace. Yang Jian saw him. He came and greeted him: "Qin Shaofu, you're here."

Qin Min asked while walking, "I don't know what's going on. The emperor is in such a hurry to summon me."

Yang Jian pointed to the closed door of the arch hall with his finger: "The king of Zhennan is in it. He has been talking with the emperor for a few hours. Qin Shaofu, be careful." He seemed to be very concerned, but he couldn't wait for Qin Minxue and Wang to pinch him.
