Just when the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty was celebrating the emperor's birthday, the next festivities, under the court of the Jin State, were all worried about the emperor's illness.

Although it was April weather at this time, Wan Yanyong was still half-lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, his face was sallow, and he was weak to speak. And Zhang Hao, Fusan Zhongyi, Wanyan Zongzheng, Wanyan Fushou, Sushi Lie Zhining and other ruling ministers stood around the bed, reporting to Wanyan Yongyu about the major events of the court.

It turned out that Wan Yan Yong's illness had worsened again, and he could no longer discuss in the Ascension Palace, so the current major affairs of the court and government were decided by several ruling ministers together, and then the discussed handling was submitted to the emperor for a decision. In fact, this process is quite similar to that of the Southern Song Dynasty after the reform of the official system.

Fortunately, at this time, the war in Western Xia ended with the scriptures, and the Southern Song Dynasty was busy recovering after the war, and on the other hand, it was also busy celebrating the emperor's birthday, so the Song and Jin countries were also at peace for a while. Moreover, in order to express the hope of the Jin State to continue to have a good relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin State also sent Shi Ju as an envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty to congratulate Zhao Chen on his birthday, and at the same time reopened the Rongchang in Yingzhou, Caizhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou and other four places, and re-established trade with the Southern Song Dynasty, and the restrictions on the Rongchang were also relaxed a lot.

At first, the biggest purpose of closing the field was not to let the Southern Song Dynasty easily obtain horses, but after the Western Xia War, the Southern Song Dynasty could obtain 8,000 horses from Xifu every year, and after trading with the Western Xia, a large number of horses could be purchased through the tea and horse exchange market every year. Moreover, the Jin Kingdom also needed the tea, silk, porcelain and other commodities of the Southern Song Dynasty, and if the Rongchang continued to be closed, it would only cheapen those who engaged in private speculation, so the reopening of the Rongchang would also be of great benefit to the Jin State.

After all today's government affairs were handled, Wan Yanyong took a breath and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now I am sick and ill, and I can't handle the government affairs, but the political affairs must not be wasted, and at the same time, the prince's age is not young, and he should also learn to deal with some political affairs, so I want to temporarily let the prince supervise the country, order hundreds of officials, and act as my director, I don't know what the ministers want?" ”

Several ruling ministers looked at each other, and they all knew that this must have been thought about by Wan Yanyong a long time ago. In fact, the prince's eunuch is just a scene, and the so-called command of hundreds of officials is just a scene, because Wan Yanyong is still in the palace, and the actual government affairs are still handled by several ruling ministers, and then they still have to be handed over to the emperor for inspection, and the prince is at most just listening to it on the side.

But this means that Wan Yan Yong is formally considering the things behind him, and the crown prince is in charge of the country, not only to make the prince familiar with the government affairs, but also to say that Wan Yan Yong has no intention of replacing the prince, and the future emperor of Dajin is undoubtedly Wanyan Yungong.

Although some people were not satisfied with the crown prince, there was no reason to oppose it, and after a while, the prince Shang ordered Zhang Haocai to reply on behalf of everyone: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers should obey their orders." ”

Wan Yanyong nodded, then turned to a chamberlain and said, "Go and call the prince." ”

Obviously, the crown prince was here at this time and not in the East Palace, because it didn't take long for the chamberlain to lead Wan Yan Yungong to the side hall. He first met Wan Yan Yong, and then saluted several other ruling ministers.

After seeing the ceremony, Wanyan Yongcai said: "Emperor, from tomorrow, I will appoint you as the supervisor of the country, and handle the government on behalf of me. ”

Wanyan Yungong knelt on the ground again, and said: "The son knows that he is shallow in learning, not as good as his father's case, but his father is in poor health, and he still has to do it, but all of you are ministers of the country, and you have assisted your father for more than ten years, so that my Dajin country is safe and secure." How dare the retainers act recklessly? I only wish that the ancestors of Daikin will bless my father and emperor and recover soon. ”

Then he got up again, bowed to several ruling ministers, and said: "All of you are the ministers of the pillars, and I hope that for the sake of my Dajin's country, we will unite and work together, and Xiao Wang is young and ignorant, if there is any inappropriate behavior, please give me advice." ”

Wan Yan Yong also said: "The prince is still young, and it is the first time to rule, please teach you Aiqing." ”

Several ruling ministers hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." The ministers should do their best, please rest assured. ”

Wan Yanyong nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's all for today, please go back to the house to rest." ”

After several ministers said goodbye and left, Wan Yan Yong looked tired, lying on the bed and panting, Wan Yan Yungong came to the couch and said, "Father, the son is going to decoct the medicine for you." ”

Wan Yanyong closed his eyes and nodded slightly. Wanyan Yungong kowtowed and said, "The son has retired." ”

Wan Yanyong slowly opened his eyes, looking at the back of the prince leaving, and felt quite relieved for a while.

After returning to the East Palace, Wanyan Yungong could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was so happy, the minister also walked over and said with a smile: "Seeing that His Highness is so happy, it must be a big deal." ”

Wanyan Yungong laughed and said: "That's natural, from tomorrow, I will be the crown prince to supervise the country, from now on, Dajin is in my hands, can I be unhappy if you say it?" ”

Wan Yan Baisa nodded and said: "It is indeed gratifying that His Highness can serve as a prisoner, but please forgive the minister, Your Highness must not be complacent because of this, and his behavior should be more cautious, more cautious than before." ”

Wan Yan Yungong was stunned for a moment, and said a little puzzled: "Why? Bai Sa, now that my father is seriously ill and can't be a director, I am the prison of the country, I can command hundreds of officials, what else is there to fear, I think I have passed enough of this kind of careful everywhere, and I don't want to spend a day again. ”

Wan Yan Bai said: "Your Highness, don't forget that Your Highness's prison country is still sealed by the emperor. But the emperor can seal His Royal Highness to supervise the country, and he can also seal other people's prison country, as long as the emperor is still alive for a day, Dajin is not His Highness. Therefore, His Highness should be even more cautious at this time. ”

Wan Yan Yungong was like being poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and suddenly woke up from the joy of Fang Cai, and couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and unconsciously saluted Wan Yan Baisa, and said: "Mr. 's words, it is really a word to wake up the dreamer." ”

Wan Yan Baisa continued: "From now on, not only the emperor, but even the ruling ministers will pay more attention to the words and deeds of His Royal Highness, as the so-called walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss. ”

Wanyan Yungong couldn't help but be a little deflated, and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

After His Royal Highness supervised the country, once the major affairs of the court and the central government should be approved, all the ministers must agree to it, and once there is a matter of indefinite decision, it must be consulted by the emperor to make a decision, and it must not be arbitrary. Moreover, His Highness's behavior must also be more cautious than before, and no one must be allowed to seize the handle. ”

Wan Yan Yungong was stunned for a while, then suddenly became angry, stood up, walked back and forth in the room, and almost shouted: "Why? Why is that? In the past, I was the crown prince and had to be patient, but now I think I am in prison of the country, why should I be patient, this kind of day, I really can't help it, I endure it all day. ”

He suddenly turned his head, his face became a little distorted, stared at Yan Baisa, and said, "Even if the emperor is still in the day, I must be patient." Then only when the emperor is gone, I don't have to go through this kind of life, right? ”

Wan Yan Baisa was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't, don't!" ”

"Why not?" Wan Yan Yungong grabbed Wan Yan Baisa, and his face became hideous and terrifying, "As long as I increase the potion, increase it tenfold, increase it twenty times, after the emperor drinks it, it will definitely return to heaven, and at that time, I will be the emperor, so I don't have to be afraid of anything, I don't have to be afraid of anything." Hahaha. ”

Wanyan Baisa said: "Your Highness, don't forget, the national teacher once said that once the dosage of this medicine is too large, it will make people black all over, and at first sight, they will know that they are poisoned and died. ”

It turned out that Wanyan Yungong had endured for many years in order to keep his position as the crown prince, but he was ×× by nature and couldn't bear it anymore. And Wanyan Baisa also knows that the position of the prince is like the target of everyone, and Wanyan Yungong is mediocre and intelligent, and he can keep the position of the prince, all because of the emperor's old affection for Empress Sude, but no one dares to guarantee how long this friendship can last.

It just so happens that the current Dajin national teacher An Ze is very dissatisfied with Wan Yanyong's attitude of still respecting the original national teacher Pufeng. Although Wanyan Yong did not exempt An Ze from the title of national teacher, he strictly restricted Anze's disciples and grandchildren, and on the contrary, the four major disciples of Pufeng all established sects with scriptures, and Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen monks in the disciple generation also became important generals of the Dajin military, and many other disciples also emerged. I'm afraid that it won't be long before his position as the national teacher will be replaced by Pufeng's disciples, so he also bets on the prince. The two have been going back and forth privately for several years.

Therefore, Wan Yan Baisa secretly consulted with An Ze, and the two hit it off. An Ze worked hard to find a chronic poison and gave it to Yan Yong for three years to die, and he couldn't find any signs of poisoning. But if the amount is enough at one time, although it can directly poison the person, but after death, the whole body is black, and you can see that it is poisoned and died.

Wanyan Yungong also knew this, but he was in a hurry just now, so he said it. After hearing Yan Baisa say this, he was speechless.

Seeing this, Wan Yan Baisa continued to persuade: "Your Highness, anyway, there are less than two years left, and Your Highness has endured it for so many years, not to mention the little time left, as long as you get through it, this golden world will really be Your Highness." ”

Wan Yan Yungong was stunned for a while before he said, "Okay, I know, I will continue to be patient." ”
