[The first update, the monthly pass has finally reached six hundred, according to the previous agreement, in addition to the guarantee of one chapter per day, one more chapter will be added for every twenty more votes, and after six hundred, it will be a double change every day this month. No matter how much it is, it's the rhythm of three watches a day. I don't know if I can keep up with my speed, but I always want to give it a try. I don't know friends, can you let me watch three shifts every day for the next 20 days? 】

At night, the streets are bleaker and less popular than other places in the capital.

The streets are 200 paces wide and no different from the squares. However, in the center of the Heavenly Street, there is a royal road that occupies nearly half the width, which is the road that the Son of Heaven takes when he travels, and it is piled with thick loess. On both sides of the royal road, there are canals, and beyond the canals, there are normal roads for people to walk.

Really speaking, the path that provided Zhang Dian and his fifty Yuan Sui was only more than thirty steps.

Just across the Imperial Road, a team of the same size was advancing, marching hand in hand with Zhang Dian and his party.

Looking at the number of lanterns, Zhang Dian knew that it should be Zhang Qi over there.

The Privy Council and the Governor are all fifty members. Only the prime minister and the privy envoy can have seventy yuan to follow him. And if you want to have more yuan, you must either be the prime minister and the 'envoy' of the festival, or the outgoing prime minister will be given the official position of the festival, or for other reasons, you can reach 100 yuansu.

And in front of Zhangdun, half a mile away, the group of people who were about to arrive under the Xuande Gate, the number of lanterns was nearly half less than that on the other side of the river. But Zhang Dan knew that it would not be someone else, but Wang Anshi.

There are 50 Yuan Sui, and the prime minister depends on whether the title is increased or not, and decides whether the number of Yuan Sui is 100 people, as for the important military affairs of Pingzhang, there is no precedent in the past, but the queen specially gave a reward, Wang Anshi has 120 Yuan Sui, and the front and back entourage preach and shout.

One hundred and twenty Yuan Sui, compared to the Son of Heaven leaving the palace, the grand occasion of tens of thousands of people at every turn is of course far from comparable. But compared to other courtiers, it is far more than that.

If it weren't for looking at the intersection where this group of people came out, it was the only way for Wang Anshi to go to the court, and Zhang Dian would not have guessed that Wang Anshi was in front of him. One hundred and twenty people were indeed too many, and they couldn't be summoned temporarily, so Wang Anshi, who rushed into the palace, could only come out with a quarter of his manpower.

This is far less than Zhang Dun's ability to rule the family with the military, and after he comes back today, he will let the following Yuan Sui wait for orders at any time and be on duty in shifts. As soon as the lieutenant envoy left, he changed into his mount and ran directly to the imperial city.

Naturally, this speed is also related to Zhang Dan's Yuan Sui, which is mostly composed of his own soldiers who fought with him. In other words, it is difficult for others to do the same thing at such a speed.

"I don't know if I can rush it." Zhang Dian overlooks the Xuande Gate, the low and thick city wall, and can only see the meaning in the moonlight.

The envoy who came to deliver the edict didn't say much, but Zhang Dian asked his family to stop him and sealed a large amount of benefits, but after reaching the end, he still didn't get any more accurate news.

"Zihou!" Xue Xiang's voice came from behind him. He led his team and merged into the queue of Zhang Dan, and Xue Xiang himself also squeezed to Zhang Dan's side, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look at the mice." Zhang Dian looked left and right. In the streets and alleys on both sides of the Royal Street, you can see people everywhere.

These are all here to find out the news.

The second time the Son of Heaven fell ill - or maybe the third - officials with a little common sense knew that the life of the Son of Heaven, which was like a candle that was about to burn to the end, had come to an end, and the wick and candle oil were in the fire, perhaps in the next moment. Since this is the case, there is nothing to hide about the Son of Heaven's illness, and it only took half an afternoon for it to spread everywhere.

Naturally, there will definitely be people among them who will inquire about further news. And the source of the news is only on the royal street.

Speaking of which, this is also a scenery in the capital.

Whenever the Imperial City became a place of turmoil, many rats sensed the signal of the impending flood and ran together to inquire about the news, so that they could jump on the boat and not indulge in the disaster that followed.

The dark shadow of the Kaibaoji Tower is embedded in the northeast sky. Maybe in a few moments, the bells of the whole capital will start ringing.

As the Xuande Gate approached, Xue Xiang suddenly turned his head, glanced at it a few times, and said to Zhang Xuan: "Han Zihua is also here." ”

"Zihua Xianggong's Mansion is not far away, I thought he would have entered the Xuande Gate a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be the most late."

"He's the prime minister." Xue Xiang said again: "In front is Wang Jiefu, opposite is Zhang Diming, and there is Han Zihua in the back." Add you and me, and everyone is here. I don't know what will happen when I get to the Funing Palace. ”

"It's more than worshipping the prince."

"Mostly." Xue Xiang nodded, in his opinion, it wouldn't be anything else, "But tonight in the palace are Cai Zhizheng and Zeng Zixuan, with the two of them here, if it is really the Son of Heaven, maybe he will directly seal the imperial city, and push the prince up in the morning tomorrow." ”

"So didn't you keep Han Yukun?" Zhang Dun said with a smile, "Han Yukun doesn't lack anything now, and there is something for everyone to share." ”

Cai Qu and Zeng Bu's character is well known to everyone. When it comes to the inheritance of God's throne, it is not difficult to guess what they think. The reason why I didn't fight with them when I decided the order of the guards today was just that I thought that the Son of Heaven would not have an accident that night, but I didn't expect it to happen.

However, since Han Gang, who had already become the father of the decision, was in the palace, Zhang Dian did not need to worry. Not to mention Han Gang's character, even with his mind, he will not let Cai Qu and Zeng Bu monopolize the benefits, but he is also hostile to the rest of the Zaifu.

The Son of Heaven may have been in control, but Zhang Dian and Xue Xiang were relaxed.

For the Son of Heaven, they don't have much emotion. After the queen lowered the curtain and listened to the government for half a year, the country's situation rose sharply, the people were stable, and the existence of the emperor could not affect the situation in the world.

And the emperor's death, in most people's minds, is at most just a sigh of 'finally gone'.

He said that he was a monarch's father, but could he really be a father? How can it be done like a mourning exam?

Howling twice in front of Azusa Palace is already very face-saving. At most, he can only learn from the Western Jin Dynasty Yangzhi and cry for his dead wife in front of the tomb of Concubine Yin [Note 1].

Standing under the Xuande Gate, Zhang Dian felt that what he had to consider now was his own positioning.

……………………

Wang Anshi felt that all the surprises left in his life were used in this case.

A note was still being passed in the hands of the Zaisuke. And the expressions on the faces of the Zaisukes also became cold as the note arrived.

The Son of Heaven did not continue to fall asleep, let alone stay away from the hustle and bustle, as soon as he woke up, he began to write on the sand table, and he did not see at all that he had just come out of a coma.

This is a good thing, but it is not worth Wang Anshi to be happy for him.

After all, with Zhao Ji's current performance, he can no longer be regarded as a qualified emperor.

It was a happy event for the Son of Heaven to wake up, but the first sentence written down was 'The queen hurt me'.

This is basically a misunderstanding, but it also confirms that the Son of Heaven's prejudice against the queen is deeply rooted.

In this way, Wang Anshi must make a choice between the Son of Heaven and the Queen.

Not only Wang Anshi, but all the courtiers must make a choice, whether to support the queen or stand on the side of the Son of Heaven.

"Inner Zen." Cai did express his opinion first: "The official's condition is obvious now, and with his current situation, he can only be too emperor."

"The crown prince is only six years old, can he ascend the throne?" Zhang Qi asked rhetorically.

Zeng Bu replied: "It's not that the prince is in charge, it's still the queen who hangs the curtain." Such as the chapter dedicated to the Ming Su to treat Renzong. ”

"There is no emperor in this dynasty, how to do it for the first time?" Xue Xiang asked.

"Let the crown prince ascend the throne first, and you can do other things at any time."

"What is this like, how can there be such a practice!"

The Zaifu gathered together to discuss, and although Han Gang was among them, he never spoke. As many people do, he doesn't need to sell his energy, instead, he can sit and watch others toil to find opportunities

Yang Jian came in and whispered: "Pingzhang, the rank of the minister, the official family is awake!" ”

The controversy came to an abrupt end.

Although the Son of Heaven is not far from death in their minds, and even has died, in fact, when Zhao Ji wakes up, the Zai Fu still want to hear what Zhao Ji has to say.

'Yes, I, no, yes'.

Zhao Ji was on the sand table and wrote a shocking text.

What is this? Want to be a new person?

Han Gang glanced at Zhao Ji, showing weakness at this time, and apologized to the queen, how much of it was scheming, and how much was the fear of losing everything.

Han Gang was indifferent, Zhao Ji's problem could not be solved with a guilty edict. The biggest problem was that the courtiers no longer had confidence in it.

Even if he had a stroke before, Zhao Ji could still ensure the smooth operation of the government. This is the credit of Zhao Ji and Zaifu, but now Zhao Ji can no longer let Zaifu obey his orders. Every Zaisuke, after receiving his edict, the first thought was to determine the authenticity and the queen's attitude towards it.

Zhao Ji didn't have a clear understanding of this, but the courtiers already knew what to do.

Zeng Bu took a half step forward, "Your Majesty's royal body has violated the peace for many days, and now you are doing it again, just in case, please also ask Your Majesty to send an edict to the prince." ”

'I, nothing, nothing. ’

In front of his courtiers, the emperor rarely uses me as a self-proclaimant, and only when he faces his family, he will use it. Now it's really angry, and I don't care about anything.

But it is this appearance that makes the ministers no longer have a trace of fear of it.

Cai did kneel down on the edge of the bed, "Your Majesty, you should put the world first!" ”

Cai Qu took the lead, and the other Zaifu went over to kowtow, "Your Majesty, please put the world first!" ”

Zhao Ji closed his eyes and ignored it.

Wang Anshi had already hidden in the outer hall, not wanting to meet Zhao Ji, and the queen did not come forward again, but stayed in the side hall.

Han Gang stopped Cai Qu, who wanted to further persuade Zhao Xu: "Do you really want to be angry with the Son of Heaven? ”

directly poured Zhao Ji with the doctor's decoction mixed with poppies, Zhao Ji was powerless to resist at all, and soon fell asleep again.

'What the hell is going to do?' Several Zaisuke had this question tangled in their minds. What should I do to smoothly abdicate the Son of Heaven and bring the crown prince who is still a child up.

They got the answer, everything had to be done by convincing the queen to take the initiative.

"Your Highness?"

"You look for officials, don't look for me." Avoid the queen.

"Your Highness, do you know what's important?!"

The queen is Xiaojun, but Xiaojun is also Jun. Now that the curtain is in attendance, we must put the world at the forefront.

"Your Highness, you should put state affairs first!"
