After Han Gang and Su Song received the order, they hurried to the Chongzheng Palace.

It's just that Han Gang was a little surprised.

Today is the first day of the queen's curtain and the first day of participating in the deliberations of the Chongzheng Palace. Under normal circumstances, it is best not to deal with the practice immediately, but to familiarize yourself with the process first.

Where did the imperial court come from so many big things? The deliberations of the Chongzheng Palace are not talking about important military affairs every day. Local personnel and political affairs, as well as grain and straw equipment in the army, are still cumbersome.

If the emperor wants to take care of it, the music sent by the four hundred military states in the world can keep him busy for twelve hours a day, if he doesn't want to take care of it, it takes half an hour a day to write thirty or fifty 'mays' with a red pen. You must know that the title of the edict of the Son of Heaven has never been the Fengtian carrier of later generations, but the door under the door - the door under the door of the book in the political hall.

Some things are nothing to procrastinate. Even if the envoys of the Liao State came, it would be the same. Now it is the transmission of the news from Bazhou, counting the time the news is on the road, Xiao Xi has only left the border and gone south for three days, and it is estimated that he is still in Zhending, and it is not too late to wait for people to arrive in the capital.

Immediately let the queen deal with the practice, this is the saisten want to give the queen a dismount, with cumbersome official business to intimidate her? Or does the queen not want to be a pure stamp and seal handle?

"That's the car of the second king, right?" As he was walking, Su Song's footsteps slowed down, looking at the other side of the door not far away.

Separated by a long wall, the Huitong Gate is the only passage connecting the Chongzheng Hall and the Forbidden Middle School. A team of chariots and horses was about to come out of the forbidden place through the gate of Huitong at this time, and a team of more than 100 people was just to protect the only carriage among them.

Han Gang narrowed his eyes.

The four-wheeled carriage in the crowd was very familiar. Since the autumn, he has seen it more than once, and it is the three younger siblings who have been carefully built as a prison and given to him by the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji.

More important, though, were the soldiers around the carriage.

"It's the Golden Gun Dongban over there in the Funing Palace......" Han Gang sneered.

It is impossible for the princess of Shu to need a whole class of guards of the Son of Heaven to 'guard', and the cautious Zhao Hao, after hearing everything last night, either complained of illness, or packed up and prepared to leave Beijing, so it was impossible to enter the palace to find himself unhappy.

"I don't know if it's the royal dragon straight over there in the Baoci Palace, or the royal dragon bone Duozi is straight." Han Gang said in a low voice.

Su Song coughed, Han Gang smiled knowingly, stopped talking, and continued to go to the Chongzheng Palace.

Han Gang's eyesight is good, and he can vaguely see the pair of vicious and resentful eyes in the carriage. Maybe the four words "not co-wearing the sky" can't describe Zhao Hao's hatred for himself, but Han Gang doesn't care at all now.

King Yong is finished. Even if the crown prince Zhao has an accident now, the Son of Heaven will also control Bintian, and Queen Xiang can still have stepchildren from the close branches of the same clan. The three kings Zhao Hao still have two sons on his side, and the Pu Wangfu side has more choices, and it will never be Zhao Hao's turn to pay the head.

And Zhao Ji's body may not be able to support it for too long, and he must not keep his younger brother for too long.

It didn't take long for Han Gang and Su Song to arrive outside the Chongzheng Palace. And when they were named, they were passed into the temple.

None of the deacons in the palace were missing, and there was Zhang Qi, who was probably called to write the edict before, and it seemed that he was more trusted by the queen than the rest of the Neihan in the academy. Several people were given seats, and even more tea. And the crown prince is not there - the Chongzheng Hall is not a court meeting with a more ceremonial nature, and the prince of the supervising state is also needed to decorate the façade, how can it be impossible to let a fifteen-year-old child sit in the palace for an hour or two - there is only a screen in front of the imperial case. Naturally, the queen was behind the screen.

Han Gang and Su Song saluted in the direction of the throne, and after getting up, they were given tea together.

"Bachelor Han, Bachelor Su." The queen's voice came from behind the screen, "Bazhou urgently, the Liao State sent Xiao Xi as an envoy this year." I have consulted with you, and now I am uneasy,"

Su Song thought for a while, and said first: "Although the Son of Heaven is sick for a while, it is not something that the Liao people can bully the door. Be calm. ”

"But the Liao people are greedy, and Yelu Yixin is especially greedy." Han Gang continued, "It was because of him that the Battle of the Summer War could not be completed in the first place. If you hear about the illness of the Son of Heaven, you will not miss the opportunity. ”

"The minister thinks what Han Gang said is very true." As soon as Han Gang's words fell, Wang Qi immediately spoke, "Yelu Yixin will never let go of such a good opportunity." The captives are afraid of power but not virtuous. Take a step back, and the Kou will take a step closer, and will never accept it when it is good. In the opinion of the minister, no matter what he wants, he should strictly refuse. As long as the troops and horses on the border are ready to fight, even if Yelu Yixin's strategy does not lose to Khitan Taizu and Taizong, it will be difficult to please! ”

Wang Qi is righteous and stern. Han Gang blinked, and Su Song was also stunned.

The Three Decrees seemed to be a different person, reborn, and shouted in the Chongzheng Hall to be tough on the Liao people to the end.

Who is this?

After Wang Qi reprimanded the Queen Mother and King Yong, Han Gang also knew that the current prime minister wanted to change his role image, and Zhi Baodan couldn't do it. But the change is too fast, and it is still unexpected.

Is Kou Zhongchou resurrected?

When Han Gang and Su Song were puzzled, the Zai Persists each expressed their attitudes.

Lu Gongzhu, Cai Qu, Han Jin, and Xue Xiang advocated that everything should be as usual, waiting for the Liao envoy to go to Beijing to deal with it, and as for the border, do not make a reaction that provokes the Liao people. Wang Qi and Zhang Dian advocated that the borders of Hebei, Hedong and Yinxia should be prepared first, just in case.

Su Song also felt that it was better to be calm. The Liao envoy has not yet entered Beijing, so why scare himself? Since Zhenzong, there have been several emperors, and I haven't seen the Liao people take advantage of anything.

Of course, Han Gang felt that he had to be prepared on the border, and he would rather be underestimated by the Liao people than guard against the possibility of the Liao people tearing up the Yuanyuan Alliance. Even if he was ridiculed by the Liao people, it was not painful or itchy, but if Yelu Yixin went crazy, it would be a pain in the bones.

"The north guards against autumn every year, and it ends in spring. That's enough, so why make people uneasy? ”

"Not really. The autumn prevention is just following the story, Hebei has not experienced war for more than 70 years, and the people's hearts have long been slack. If you don't urge Hebei Fourth Road to step up your precautions, if something happens, it will be too late to regret it. ”

There was some dispute between the two sides for a while. This matter is not a big deal, even if the Liao people want to go south, they will have to have a month to mobilize troops and horses. In the Great Song Dynasty, even if the Liao people's movements were detected, it was too late to take precautions.

But Empress Xiang ignored these disputes, and instead asked, "Then how should I deal with Xiao Xi when he comes?" ”

"It's business as usual." The queen opened her mouth twice, and both mentioned Xiao Xi. How can it be felt that Empress Xiang is more worried about this Liao envoy than the hundreds of thousands of Khitan iron horsemen in the north? Han Gang had doubts in his heart, and continued: "Your Highness, there are envoys every year, and Xiao Xi is just an envoy, so why can he trouble even if he enters Beijing?" ”

"The Liao envoy is going to see His Majesty, right?" Xiang asked the queen again.

"It's nature." Han Gang was even more confused, not knowing why the queen asked such a question.

At this time, Song Yongchen suddenly came out of the inner door, whispered a few words behind the screen, and saw the queen get up and leave, and then beckoned Zhang Qi in.

Unlike Fang Cai's endless talking, as soon as the queen left, Wang Qi immediately became silent. It's not like when I leave the Chongzheng Hall on weekdays, and I will chat with my colleagues for a few words, just like a puppet stone sculpture sitting on the side.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Han Gang asked suspiciously.

"Ling Yue just entered the palace, it should be for this matter." Zhang Dian asked rhetorically, "Yukun, you don't know the way?" ”

Han Gang shook his head, this is really not a good idea. summoned Zhang Qi in, did he want to make Wang Anshi the prime minister? Although it is not a small hall at the east gate of the imperial palace, and there is no locked courtyard, with the current situation, there is nothing wrong with everything in power. No wonder Wang Qi became so silent all of a sudden.

However, even if Zhao Ji is still so diligent on the sickbed, he doesn't know how long his body can last? It's all sleepless, and the impact on Zhao Ji, a stroke patient, must be greater.

However, he wanted to ask if it was not this one, Han Gang said: "Han Gang wants to know Lu Dao, why does the queen seem to not want Xiao Xi to go to the palace." ”

"Of course it's because of the prince!" The people in the Chongzheng Hall all looked at Han Gang in surprise, "The prince is only five years old, what if he is frightened by the Liaoren?!" ”

Han Gang really didn't think about it, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded and said, "I see." ”

"Yukun." Cai did hesitate to speak, "The queen asked this because she wanted you to serve as the embassy escort." ”

"Normally, it's a Hanlin Bachelor, right?" Su Song immediately asked, "How can you let Yukun do it?" ”

"It's Han Gang who took over the embassy envoy and also blocked the envoy from going to the palace?" Han Gang frowned slightly, "If you stop Xiao Xi from going to the palace, wouldn't it give the Liao people an excuse?" It's a sign of weakness! ”

Cai Qu explained: "The queen means that if you have Yukun to accompany you for a few days, the Liao envoy will not be easy to collide with the prince if he goes to the palace again." ”

Han Gang's face sank, this is for him to dissipate his anger?!

"Yukun don't mind." Cai Qu hurriedly persuaded Han Gang, "You must know that the soul of the child is incomplete, if the prince collides with the Liao, I will be a courtier, but I will die." ”

Su Song couldn't speak, and several other Zaizhi also looked at Han Gang with some concern.

The diplomacy between the Song and Liao was based on the principle of reciprocity, and the envoys were Hanlin scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, and Lin Ya in the Liao State - also Hanlin scholars. In terms of status, Han Gang is already above the Hanlin Bachelor, and he resigned from the double bachelor of the palace and the prince of the palace to accompany the Zhengdan envoy of the Liao State, which is not only an insult to Han Gang personally, but also a shame to the country.

It's just that the face of the court is indeed important, and the safety of the prince is even more important. No one dares to say that everything is business as usual, if the prince is really frightened by the envoys of the Liao State who are different from the people of China in appearance, who will bear the responsibility for this crime?

However, Han Gang was not angry, he was laughing and laughing, as a reaction to using the Medicine King Temple as an excuse, this was also the trouble caused by the aura of the Medicine King's disciple.

He doesn't have the ability to eliminate evil spirits, so what can he do to accompany Xiao Xi? But he couldn't refuse. After thinking about it for a while, I could only sigh helplessly. The so-called statement that children's souls are incomplete, Han Gang does not believe it. It's a big deal to meet you at a distance in the Daqing Palace, so that Zhao Maid can't see clearly.

Thinking so, Han Gang nodded, "It's okay to talk around with Xiao Xi." Let all the rulers breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

"But there still has to be a Hanlin Scholar's send." Lu Gong wrote, "Otherwise, it will be unjustifiable, and it will be underestimated by the Liao people." ”

Could it be that if you bring Master Hanlin, you won't be ridiculed by Xiao Xi? Han Gang immediately shook his head: "Han Gang is very lacking in literary talent, he is not good at four or six, and he can't afford to be the choice of Yutang." ”

"Yukun Mo is humble." Han Zhen smiled and said, "You are the ninth Jinshi hand-picked by the Son of Heaven, and the chief editor of Materia Medica." The writings are all waiting! ”

Cai Cheng also said very decisively, "If you don't want to write an edict, you can just bring the edict without knowledge." ”

Han Gang still refused. It didn't take long for the queen and Zhang Qi to come out, and Song Yongchen, who was following behind, held an edict in his hand.

The queen sat down behind the screen and asked Song Yongchen to hand the edict to Wang Jue, "The official family is worried that the court is unstable, and the northern captives are watching." After meeting Wang Xianggong, he appointed Wang Xianggong as an important military matter in Pingzhang. ”
