Chapter 26: When the Tide Strikes the Night and Bends the Bow (Part II)

The front yard of the Privy Counsellor was brightly lit.

Lu Gongzhu, who had not yet gone to bed, led the family to gather in the front yard at this time. In front of them was Lan Yuanzhen, who hurriedly left the palace.

"The villain was ordered to recruit Lu Gongbao into the palace."

"Kung Bao?" Lu Gongzhu suddenly frowned and did not answer the order. He does not have the official title of Prince Taibao referred to as Gong Bao, let alone be named Tai Bao also known as Gong Bao.

"The official family has written an edict to canonize the privy council as the crown prince." Lan Yuanzhen told him bluntly. This is his gesture of goodwill, and he informed Lu Gongzhu one step in advance, after all, it is a favor.

Lu Gongshu was suspicious, "What is the situation of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"It's generally okay, and I've been able to use rhyme books to convey words."

"Blink?"

Recalling the scene when Han Gang verified the Son of Heaven's sanity before leaving the palace, Lu Gongzhu's suspicions deepened even more. Han Gang's performance at that time shouldn't have been an ambush for the present, right?

"The edict to canonize the palace guard, as well as the edict to summon Sima Gongshi from Luoyang back to Beijing, were all conveyed by the official family through the rhyme book."

Lu Gongzhu was taken aback: "Sima Twelve has also been recalled!" ”

"That's right, and he was also named the crown prince and the prince. Taking Sima Gongshi and the Privy Council as teachers is a decision made by the official family in front of the Queen Mother, the Empress and the Prince. ”

Lu Gong's gray brows furrowed a little tighter. This appointment came suddenly, could it be that someone in the palace wanted to buy him? It's just that Sima Guang was recruited into Beijing at the same time, and this number of people is not right, and Sima Guang was appointed as the prince and teacher......

Lu Gongzhu's eyes suddenly widened, could it be that the Son of Heaven presented a table to the Queen Mother. But he had a hard time believing the answer, no, it should be said, he felt that it was simply impossible.

"Where's Wang Jiefu?" Lu Gongzhu asked Lan Yuanzhen, "Is it the crown prince and the prince?" ”

"No, the sixth master of the crown prince only appointed Sima Gongbao and the privy secretary today." Lan Yuanzhen paused, "At least not before the villain left the palace." ”

"That's the case......" Lu Gong twisted a long beard in his hand, thinking hard about the cause and effect.

Lan Yuanzhen couldn't afford this time, and urged: "Gong Bao, the two mansions have been edicted. ”

The more anxious Lan Yuanzhen was, the more suspicious Lu Gongzhu felt. He came here at this time, and the purpose shouldn't be so simple.

At that time, Lu Zhenghui [Lu Duan] in order to prevent Wang Jien, who had made great contributions to Taizong's accession to the throne, continued to muddy the water behind Taizong, and even directly designed to lock him in the inner hall under the door of Zhongshu.

However, in the inheritance of the throne, swords and swords are commonplace. Lu Gongzhu has always been bold and self-proclaimed a gentleman, even if the imperial city has become a tiger's den in Longtan, he has to break through.

Looking back at the frightened and worried eyes of his children, grandchildren and subordinates, Lu Gong shouted: "Wait for the door to be closed, and go back to the room to rest." ”

After saying that, he rode away with his horse whipped.

Walking on the royal street at night, the Zhouqiao Night Market not far from the south is still as bright as a sea of stars, but the section leading to the Xuande Gate in the north is much darker, and only the lights on the tower of the Xuande Gate are brilliant.

However, before and after Lu Gong's team, there was a team of people carrying lanterns. Lu Gong squinted, and on the lanterns of the team in front, the Korean character was very obvious, and Han Jin, who was participating in politics in Dongfu at that time. And the team behind, judging from the direction of coming, is the deputy Zhang Dan.

Lu Gongzhu has no intention of communicating anything with them, there are still eunuchs in the team, and if he talks a few more words now, he may become a handle in the future.

And Lu Gongzhu still can't figure out something, he has been invited to all the deacons, does he want to announce the edict in front of the deacons? Or is it the Great Edict of Inner Zen? Is it necessary to rush like this?

With the doubts in his heart, Lu Gongshu, Han Jin, and Zhang Dian entered the imperial city with their front and back feet, and a little further, they even saw Cai Qu's back.

The imperial city shrouded in night is like a ghost. The strings of lanterns hanging in Ban Zhi's hands and on the heights, those little lights, only highlighted the darkness and depth of the imperial city more strongly.

After passing through a heavy palace gate, the remaining rulers of the two mansions arrived at the Funing Hall one after another, and Wang Zhongzheng and Zhang Shouyue were in the outer hall.

One is the big mink who is the five-grade observer, and the other is the three yaguan troops, both of whom have a combination of imperial equipment, and they are the commanders who lead the troops to guard the imperial city tonight. They were all guarding the outer hall, probably guarding against something.

Lu Gongzhu glanced at them more, and his footsteps fell to the back. After taking two deep breaths and settling his mind, Lu Gong walked into the inner hall of the Funing Palace.

When I entered the inner hall, just before the imperial couch, I was already surrounded by people again and again. The dormitory is the emperor's private place, and it is always quiet and tidy. But now the dormitory is crowded with people, and Lu Gongzhu's face is very unsightly.

The outermost circle is the inner attendant and the palace people, and the inner one is Wang Qi and Xue Xiang of Suzhi, as well as Zhang Dian, Cai Qu and Han Jin, who came in one step earlier, in addition to these governors, there are also Han Gang and Zhang Qi. And close to the royal couch, it is the Empress Dowager Gao, Queen Xiang and her concubines, and the prince Zhao of Yan'an County are all in the palace. It's just that behind the Queen Mother, Lu Gongzhu also saw Zhao Hao, the king of Yong, which made Lu Gongzhu's heart immediately add a layer of cloud.

When the Son of Heaven receives the ministers, the concubine and the prince should stay in the east room, and they have to draw a curtain to isolate the inside and outside, why are there no rules at all. If this is all right, then what curtain will the Queen Mother hang?!

But he is not easy to have a seizure, people are so together, it is clear that it is the step of inner meditation, that is to say, Zhao Ji has completely lost confidence in his body - if Zhao Ji still has a clear consciousness.

The Son of Heaven can't even speak now, and there is no other way to verify it except for the blink of an eye. Lu Gongzhu would not fail to test it no matter what, and believed the words of Lan Yuanzhen.

Wang Jue took the rhyme book and explained to the few governors of the two governments who had just arrived how to communicate with the Son of Heaven through this book. After listening to a few words, Zhang Dian raised his eyes to look at Han Gang, and when he saw Han Gang nodding and giving an affirmative answer, he was relieved. Several other consuls were also communicating with acquaintances, and they were tentatively determined that the Son of Heaven's sanity still existed.

Only Lu Gongzhu has a strong suspicion, and now in the palace, except for himself and Zhao Ji, who can't speak, he doesn't trust anyone.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being rude." Lu Gong took a step forward and approached Wang Qi, and at the same time stretched out his hand and almost snatched Yun Shuqiang from his hand.

He flipped through the rhyme book and asked Zhao Ji: "Please also ask Your Majesty to tell Wei Chen, what is the position of the vassals of Fang Cai's edict?" ”

Zhao Ji was not angry, he didn't show any anger now, he blinked his eyes skillfully with the cooperation of Lu Gongzhu.

Shangping Yidong - Palace.

Shangsheng Nineteen Hao - Bao.

"What about the minister's send?" Lu Gongzhu asked again. It was just the simplest question, and he certainly couldn't rest assured that he might have prepared in advance.

Pivot.

Envoy.

Lu Gongzhu breathed a sigh of relief, he was able to use the abbreviation to report the official position, and he was more certain of the sanity of the Son of Heaven than the crown prince and the privy envoy - smart people are often more lazy. But he was still not at ease, and asked again: "What is the name of the minister?" ”

Smooth.

Simple.

Lu Gongshu returned the rhyme book to Wang Jue, took two steps back, and knelt down to plead guilty: "The minister is suspicious and guilty." ”

Zhao Ji blinked: It's okay.

The two mansions were in charge, and Lu Gongzhu verified the sanity of the Son of Heaven on behalf of the other courtiers, and Zhao Ji immediately called Song Yongchen.

Volume. Too. Child.

Picking up Zhang Qi's book of the crown prince that Zhang Qi had just written before Lu Gongshu and others entered the palace from Zhao Ji's pillow, Song Yongchen unfolded it and read it aloud in front of the important ministers.

Now it's not about inner meditation, it's just about finalizing inner meditation. The crown prince is determined first, and the identity of the crown prince is confirmed, and then the important ministers discuss the matter of Zen concession.

In the more than 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty, there has not been a precedent for internal meditation. Further back, there are few stories to be found. Lu Gongzhu was a little worried that such a rush might lead to the loss of the national body. It's like in the current dormitory, there are no rules.

So when Zhao maid was instructed by the queen, he knelt down and bowed to his father in a daze, and took the book; turned around, and accepted the visit of a group of important ministers under the leadership of Wang Qi. Lu Gongzhu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty's jade body is not in harmony, and the ministers beg the queen mother to listen to the government, and wait for Your Majesty's recovery day." ”

His eyes focused on Zhao Ji's face, but Tianzi closed his eyelids and did not move.

"Your Majesty's ......"

Lu Gongshu wanted to say something more, but Wang Jue picked up the rhyme book, grabbed in front of him and asked, "Your Majesty has other intentions?" ”

Zhao Ji opened his eyes and blinked twice.

'Is it inner meditation?' It's useless! Zhao Hao looked at it coldly.

He didn't care about Neizen, even if the throne was in the hands of his nephew now, he would still be able to come back in a few years. He has at least ten years to go. Especially Han Gang is looking for his own death, when his imperial brother dies, Han Gang had better stay in Lingnan, and when the time comes, see who will protect this kid! He stared at Zhao Maid viciously.

Han Gang smiled slightly, although Zhao Ji couldn't wait to recruit all the slaughterers...... No, after Empress Dowager Gao was furious, he could already confirm that his gamble had been won, but only now did he completely put his mind at ease.

However, everyone's attention was on Zhao Gang's face, and no one saw the relieved smile on the corner of Han Gang's lips.

Xiaping Qiyang - Emperor.

Empress dowager. Or the crown prince. Or the Queen.

What does the Son of Heaven want to say, whether it is Wang Jue or Lu Gongshu, almost everyone is guessing.

The next word is de-voiced.

Too?

But Wang Jue's voice quickly crossed the sound of Jiutai where the word 'Tai' was, and Zhao Ji only blinked and gave a negative answer. Wang Jue's voice moved backwards one rhyme after another, until the twenty-sixth rhyme, and the emperor blinked his eyelids twice,

In an instant, the whole house was in an uproar, and the sound rushed straight to the house.

Zhao Hao was like five thunderbolts, and there was not a trace of blood left on his face.

With a loud bang, it was Empress Dowager Gao Huo Ran who got up, and the chair behind her was brought to the ground. But Empress Dowager Gao didn't care at all, turned around and walked away.

Han Gang closed his eyes, a little tired, he didn't want to gamble anymore this year.

Go to the sound of twenty-six yo. The word 'after' is in this rhyme.

If you add the previous word 'Huang', then it is:

"Queen!?"

"The queen is the same as the government?!"

"How can it be!" Lu Gong rose up violently and shouted angrily!
