Chapter 26: When the Tide Strikes the Night and Bends the Bow (Part II)
[Don't hang your appetite anymore.] The next one will be rushed out. It was about one or two o'clock in the morning. 】
Han Gang opened his mouth in front of the Son of Heaven, but everyone knew who he was targeting.
The so-called closest relatives are of course not the queen mother, nor the queen, let alone the only prince. There are two Yaowang Temples, one in the north and one in the west, which are thousands of miles away from the capital. The two princes each share one piece, and it will take almost a month to go back and forth, at least before the Son of Heaven is in meditation, don't expect to be able to rush back. If there are any twists and turns in the middle, maybe they will stay in the Medicine King Temple until the day when the Son of Heaven and the Dragon dominate Bintian.
Zhao Hao's face twitched, and his eyelids jumped. Han Gang was completely torn in the face, and he actually wanted to drive him out of the capital with the third child.
He glanced at Han Gang. The child's face was so calm that it seemed that he had just mentioned a strange thing, as if he had mentioned it inadvertently during an ordinary chat.
When it comes to big things, there is calmness, and such a person is much stronger than Wang Xianggong who is sweating next to him. Zhao Hao couldn't help but secretly break his heart. But Han Gang's idea could never be so simple, and it could never be just for the smooth flow of inner meditation.
Zhao Hao glanced at his mother again, only to see her eyebrows hanging high, her face was pale, and she was staring at Han Gang deadly. Zhao Hao shuddered, with his understanding of his mother, the anger in his heart should have reached the extreme.
The last time I saw my mother so angry was when she learned that a song book about herself was popular in the capital. The previous time, it was the Empress Dowager who persuaded her mother not to control her father too much, so that he could get close to the other concubines.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was like an open bowstring, taut and tightening. More and more chamberlains and court maids shrank to the base of the wall as much as possible, trying not to become the target of anger.
And seeing the queen mother's angry appearance, Wang Qi, who was the prime minister, couldn't help but shrink her neck, and the cold hairs on her neck were all standing up. That's the lord who started the fire, and even Emperor Cao, who was an aunt and aunt, couldn't suppress it.
Wang Qi also thought that since he was one step later than Han Gang before he invited the crown prince together, then it was time to make up for his mistakes and complete the matter. But when he saw Empress Dowager Gao glaring at Han Gang, her eyes were stained with a layer of blood, and he found that he couldn't open one of his mouths.
Zhang Qi stared at the manuscript paper in front of him, trying his best to hold his mind. But the dormitory is like a mountain rain coming, like a man's back. But the pen in his hand became slower and slower, and at the end of the sentence was no longer a word, so he had to sigh secretly, and simply stopped the pen that drafted the edict. In the front, Han Gang refused to do it, and this time his thinking was messed up.
He admired Han Gang's ruthlessness. After making a move, he no longer gives himself any room to turn around. ruthlessly coerced the Queen Mother and King Yong, and didn't care at all that their own families were cut off together.
However, Han Gang did a stupid thing, a big stupid thing that is irreparable!
No one would think that Han Gang was telling the truth, and the two Medicine King Shrines in Hebei and Shaanxi should not be of concern to people, and his purpose was clear at a glance.
As Han Gang, of course, he can take the Medicine King Temple to make up a story with a spiritual response, and then send out the people he wants to send. But he shouldn't have said it in front of the Queen Mother. Even if you can say it, you shouldn't use the tone of Fang Cai.
With the respect of the queen mother, the courtiers can move with affection and reason, but they can't just blatantly drop an extremely obvious lie, almost forcing her two sons out of the capital. Don't you want to take care of the Queen Mother's face?
And more importantly, if the Son of Heaven wants to ensure that his son ascends the throne safely and grows up safely, doesn't the Queen Mother want to save her son's life? !
On the surface, Han Gang just wanted to be undisturbed in the process of inner meditation, so that Wang An of Yan'an County could ascend the throne safely. But in fact, if King Yong and King Jia stay in the capital, the Queen Mother can still keep them. But once out of Beijing, on the way from Kaifeng to Hebei and Shaanxi, something will not surprise anyone!
Will the Queen Mother not think of it? Just look at her anger now.
Empress Dowager Gao waited for Han Gang for a long time, and she didn't see him have the slightest remorse. 's calm and calm demeanor kept stirring the nerves of the Empress Dowager Gao, and finally made her angry. She didn't expect Han Gang to dare to make such a proposal and drive her two sons out of the capital.
"Han Gang!" She stood up suddenly, shook off Chen Yan, who wanted to support her, took two steps forward, and pointed at the big nose that was disgusted when she looked at it: "What is your intention as a foreign minister who doesn't want to serve the country loyally, but separates the flesh and blood of the brothers of the Heavenly Family?!" ”
"I don't dare." Han Gang only lowered his eyes slightly, but his body did not move at all. He doesn't explain it, and he doesn't admit that he is wrong.
The Queen Mother, who was nearly fifty years old, was even more annoyed, and said sharply: "What else do you dare not dare!?" ”
"Please also ask the Queen Mother to calm her anger." Xue Xiang wanted to come up and play a round, "Brother Yu Gong in the Jin Dynasty, the epidemic is not avoided." Nowadays......"
"Don't talk so much!" Empress Dowager Gao broke off, and Xue Xiang took a step back in shock, "What is Han Gang's idea, you still want to hide from the old body?" She turned around and pointed at Zhao Ji again, and said in a trembling voice: "Look at the good courtier you use!" ”
The Queen Mother's thunderous anger, the concubines beside the bed were silent one by one, even the queen was also under the prestige, and she didn't dare to speak. But they all know who the key to the matter should fall on.
Since Han Gang said that the Medicine King Ancestral Hall was effective, the wise prince should know what to do at this time.
At the very least, you have to go out on your own initiative, and you must not pretend that you have not heard it. Regardless of whether Han Gang's words are true or not, the appearance of the pretend must be indispensable.
But Zhao Hao lowered his eyes and looked at the ground in front of him, but in a moment, he was already sweating. I tried to open my mouth several times, but I couldn't make a sound at all.
Zhao Hao knew that he was reasonable, and he should immediately invite himself out of Beijing and go to Yaozhou and Qizhou what Han Gang said. If he did, he would immediately reverse his bad reputation in the eyes of the world. After taking over the throne in the future, there will be much less opposition in the court.
For the throne, it's just running errands, and such an exchange is a big profit. Even if you cut your arms and cut your strands, taste dung and suck carbuncles, it's not something you can't do. Anyway, his calculation is based on his nephew's five-year-old age, and he doesn't care who the current imperial brother is in.
Han Gang is tearing his face now, but it is a good thing, so that the mother who is about to become the empress dowager can completely stand on his side.
But who can guarantee that he will be able to arrive thousands of miles away smoothly, and who can guarantee that he will be able to return to the capital smoothly afterwards? The road is full of ups and downs, and you may be infected with the epidemic. Maybe you will fall overboard. Maybe you won't be able to adapt to the soil. It's too easy to kill someone. Even if there are no such things, An An's safe and secure to the ground. When the imperial brother successfully meditates, at most when he dies of illness, he can be called back. But what if the royal brother made a secret decree before he died? A glass of wine is enough.
With Taizu Taizong's own brother King Qin Mourning in front, Taizu's two sons King Yanyi and King Qin Kanghui in front, and Taizong's eldest son Chu Wang Yuanzuo in front, Zhao Hao resolutely did not dare to break the kettle. As long as you flip through the history books, you can know that the emperor's throne is clearly blood-colored, and it is by no means bright and yellow.
Once you leave Beijing, your life is not your own.
How dare Zhao Hao open his mouth and ask to go out of Beijing? He hoped that his mother's anger would make the royal brother back down.
Zhao Ji did retreat. After Empress Dowager Gao made a big fuss, everyone could only wait for the verdict of the Son of Heaven, but Zhao Ji blinked, and what came out was:
Mother.
Cease.
Anger.
"Anger? Big brother, what do you say? Empress Dowager Gao asked.
Empress Xiang held Zhao Ji's wrist tightly under the futon, and trembled uncontrollably.
The officials have already compromised! It's back down! The new law is ready to be abolished, and the old party is going to be reactivated! They have already done this, and they only ask the two imperial brothers to go out for a while to pray for their imperial brothers, but they are still unwilling! Could it be that Zhao Zhongjun is not her own son who was conceived and born in October, only Zhao Zhongjun [Note 1] is?!
How she wished that her husband would be a little tougher and that the Queen Mother would agree, but Zhao Ji disappointed her.
Xia Ping Eleven You - Stay.
Empress Xiang's eyes suddenly darkened, and she only felt that the sky had fallen.
Since the Son of Heaven has made a decision in front of the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister, it is almost impossible to change it. Especially Zhao Ji can only use the blink of an eye to convey words, and he wants to talk back, but he doesn't know how much energy it takes.
'Are you trying to force our mother and son to death?!' Empress Xiang bit her lower lip tightly, waiting for Zhao Ji, but she didn't dare to pronounce her words.
Empress Dowager Gao finally sat down again, panting with her chest rising and falling, glaring at Han Gang from time to time, her face was still ugly, and her anger was still unresolved.
Serving tea and water beside his mother, persuading her to calm the anger in her heart, Zhao Hao was also peeking at Han Gang.
Obviously, the plot has failed, but Zhao Hao can't find timidity, panic, or panic on Han Gang's face. Still standing still. If you look at it from the perspective of bearing and city government, he is far more qualified to become the prime minister than Wang Qi. It is a pity that he is an enemy, an object that must be eradicated.
Although he should be able to relax, Zhao Hao kept telling himself that Han Gang's plan couldn't bypass his mother at all, but His Royal Highness King Yong was still nervous and wanted to find traces of defeat and defeat from Han Gang's face. The more I couldn't find it, the more bottomless my heart became, and I didn't feel the slightest joy of victory at all.
Zhao Hao was still in turmoil, and after a short rest, Zhao Hao began to let Wang Qi pass the word again.
Recruit.
Slaughter.
Grasp.
Recruit Jae-chou?
Staying in the palace tonight, the two rulers of Suzhi Palace City, Wang Qi and Xue Xiangke, are here.
Wang Qi asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, but you want to summon all the rulers in the two mansions into the palace?" ”
Zhao Ji blinked twice.
But all the people didn't dare to move, and even Wang Qi, who was speaking, hesitated.
After all, recruiting Zai to enter the palace in the middle of the night is tantamount to saying that the Son of Heaven is about to die, or even has died.
This is not the time when the border passes are full of smoke, and there will not be any ruler who will drag on until the day to enter the palace in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the capital. With the severity of Zhao Ji's condition, they will leave as soon as they hear the news.
Tonight, when Zhao Ji suddenly became ill, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the gate of the imperial city or the mansion of the deacons in the dark. As long as a few chamberlains sent by the palace to the mansion appear, before dawn, rumors of the emperor's great deeds will spread throughout the capital.
"The official's illness has only been cured so much, and he is tired in the middle of the night. Do you want to take a break first, and wait until tomorrow during the day, after the ministers enter the palace? Xiang also spoke to the queen to dissuade him. There is time in the middle of the night as a buffer, at least after the Queen Mother and Zhao Hao leave, she can still have a chance to persuade her husband to see if she can change her previous decision.
But Zhao Ji refused to wait:
Speed.
Go.
Note 1: Zhao Hao's original name was Zhong Gong, and Zhao Hao's original name was Zhong Qi.
