When Fang was in front of the emperor, the two governments had already arranged for the candidate for Suzhi.

When Han Gang and Lan Yuanzhen arrived at today's accommodation—a small hall separated only one wall from the Funing Palace—they found that Wang Qi and Xue Xiang were already sitting inside.

Today's political hall is Wang Qi Suzhi, and the Privy Council is left behind by Xue Xiang, but there is no Zhang Shouyue who should be in the palace today.

"Yukun." When Wang Jue saw Han Gang, he immediately got up and asked, "How is the situation with the Son of Heaven?" ”

"If nothing else, it won't be long before I can speak." Han Gang still said that he was still a genius, and still added the premise that there were no accidents. made Wang Qi and Xue Xiang have to think deeper.

"Possible recovery?" Wang Qi asked.

Han Gang was silent, only looking back.

Wang Qi closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he sat down and sighed. Since the disciples of the Medicine King also thought that the Son of Heaven could not recover, then there was really no way to do it.

In fact, Wang Jue also knows that he has asked too much, and he has not seen a person who has had a stroke in the past, how can he have a patient without sequelae? With Zhao Ji's condition, since he can't even speak, it is indeed difficult to stand up again.

After Lan Yuanzhen sent Han Gang over, he immediately transferred out of Lu to arrange the food and lodging of the three of them, as well as the candidates for the service. Several important ministers' personal servants could not enter the palace, so they had to be greeted well, and they could not be waited for at all.

"Where's Captain Zhang?" After Han Gang sat down, he asked Zhang Shouyue, the deputy commander of the Ma Army who was on duty in the Sanyaguan Army today.

"Zhang Shouyue took a team of squads to inspect the palace." Xue Xiang said.

Wang Jue also followed: "People's hearts are fluctuating tonight, and it is good for Zhang Shouyu to go for a walk." ”

Han Gang nodded and said, "Taiwei Zhang is a general, and having him inspect the palace can make people feel a lot more relieved." ”

There are a lot of officials who know that Zhang Shouyue has the virtue of recommending Han Gang, and all of the two governments know about it, so when they heard that Han Gang also called Zhang Shouyue Taiwei behind his back, Wang Qi and Xue Xiang were not surprised.

Wang Shao recommended it back then, and Zhang Shouyue also took a hand. According to rumors, if Wang Shao hadn't taken a step to let Han Gang enter the literary capital, Zhang Shouyue would have recommended Han Gang to join the martial arts class. If Han Gang had taken that road, maybe there would have been one more general in today's Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Jue's gaze towards Han Gang was a little jealous. This son is both civil and military, not to mention medical ethics, and he is good at agricultural and industrial affairs, as if he can be proficient in everything. Supposedly, he doesn't know how to play chess.

Thinking of the rumor that Han Gang was not good at playing chess, Wang Jue couldn't help but smile secretly, diluting a little gloomy mood. I remember that Lin Hejing [Lin Kui] claimed to be capable of all arts, but he couldn't carry dung and play chess. In the past few years, some mean people in the world have said that Han Gang is better than Lin Hejing. However, since the pox method came out, no one dared to talk nonsense anymore.

Han Gang, Wang Qi and Xue Xiang didn't say a word.

Wang Qi is the prime minister, and Han Gang is the founder of the track. If he usually had this opportunity, Xue Xiang would definitely take the opportunity to mention two sentences about laying railroad tracks. Previously, Xue Xiang not only finalized a cooperation agreement with Han Gang, but also negotiated with Wang Qi, and exchanged interests with each other. As far as Xue Xiang was concerned, he was ready for the three of them to find an opportunity to sit together and finalize the whole thing, but now was really not the time.

I don't know how long it's going to be delayed. Xue Xiang thought annoyedly, but he didn't know who to complain about.

The three of them don't have much to talk about, and often after someone says the last sentence, someone picks up another sentence after half a day. My heart was heavy, as if a boulder was pressing on top of my head

Zhao Ji has become what she is now, and the curtain of the Queen Mother has become a foregone conclusion. At most, it will take two or three days, and once it is confirmed that the body of the Son of Heaven cannot recover, then Zaifu will have to lead a group of courtiers to ask the Queen Mother to listen to the government.

Wang Qi is very worried now, he has always known that the Empress Dowager is not so appreciative of him. If you want to please the Queen Mother, it is not possible to solve it by doing three decrees.

"Tonight, I don't know how many people can't sleep."

“”

As he was talking, he heard the cloud board in the palace knocking on the point of the second watch, and Lan Yuanzhen happened to cross the threshold and enter the door.

Lan Yuanzhen arranged food and lodging for Wang Qi, Xue Xiang, and Han Gang, and then turned back. Han Gang and the other three didn't care about these trivial matters, they stayed in the palace to eat, drink and sleep, they had no choice but to listen to Lan Yuanzhen's report, and asked him to go back to the Queen Mother and Queen Xiang.

Lan Yuanzhen bowed down to say goodbye to the three important ministers, and just as he walked to the door and was about to step out of the threshold, Han Gang suddenly asked, "Has King Yong left the palace at this time?" ”

"The villain didn't pay attention." Lan Yuanzhen glanced at Han Gang cautiously, but he couldn't tell from his expression that he had any intentions. Looking at Wang Qi and Xue Xiang again, the eyes of the two suddenly became sharper. After a pause to think about it, he added, "It seems that there is none." ”

Wang Qi and Xue Xiang exchanged a look, and at the same time, in each other's eyes, they found a trace of resentment.

How dare you do it...... The Son of Heaven is not dead yet!

……………………

Soon after Han Gang left, Zhao Hao helped Empress Dowager Gao to get up and leave.

It's already late at night, and I can't let Empress Dowager Gao stay up late. And Zhao Hao is the only one, and it is not convenient to stay in the dormitory. Anyway, since Han Gang said that there was nothing to do, there would be no change tonight. In two days, the Queen Mother will listen to the government, so even if the Funing Palace has any ideas, there is no need to worry.

helped his mother to climb on his shoulder, and Zhao Hao accompanied him to Baoci Palace.

Empress Dowager Gao sat on her shoulders with her eyes closed. After walking in the dimly lit corridor for a while, she suddenly spoke: "Second brother, you have no selfishness, it's very good." ”

Zhao Hao said softly: "The imperial brother has ruled the country for more than ten years, living up to the legacy of his ancestors, the soldiers and horses are getting stronger and stronger, and the country is flourishing. Just for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, the child also wishes the royal brother a speedy recovery. ”

“…… If only you could think so. Empress Dowager Gao's voice was a little relieved.

Zhao Hao lowered his head. Yes, everything must be for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhao family. If the royal brother can recover, then of course it is 'best', but what if he can't?

Since the Medicine King's disciple Bao Zhao Xuan is fine, then whether Han Gang is waiting by the dormitory or not, his imperial brother will probably not have any surprises. In this case, taking advantage of the situation to show a little in front of his mother is the best choice in Zhao Hao's opinion.

And although Zhao Ji's condition will not necessarily worsen, it does not mean that he cannot abdicate. The medicine doctor is immortal, and Zhao Hao does not think that Zhao Hao's body can recover to the extent of fulfilling the duties of the Son of Heaven.

If Han Gang really has the power to return to heaven and let Zhao Ji gradually recover, then he will accept his fate. If not, then there is no emperor in the world who is paralyzed in bed.

The key is to please your mother. Zhao Hao knew very well what he had to do to get closer to the throne.

Han Gang's book, Zhao Hao read a little. It is also known that there is a concept in the principle of mechanics called the center of gravity. If the center of gravity is unstable, people will not be able to stand. If you grasp the center of gravity, a plate can be held up with just one finger. This concept is actually very interesting, and according to the principle of learning from things, it can also be used in human resources.

When the emperor's brother had an accident, the focus fell on the mother who was the queen mother, and if he could grasp this, he would naturally find a step to the throne.

Even if Han Gang is an immortal, as long as he can't let Zhao Ji recover, then the power to decide who belongs to the throne in the end is still on the Queen Mother's side.

"At this time, it is inconvenient to leave the palace, so I will stay here for the night."

Zhao Hao was shocked, but he forced himself to calm down: "This ...... I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient. ”

"Nothing was inconvenient. It's inconvenient to leave at night, what does it matter if my son stays here for a night? I'm going to see who dares to say that! ”

"I know it." Zhao Hao didn't say more.

He knew that his mother was stubborn, and no one could persuade him. Although living in the palace may cause discussion outside, and it will also make the Funing Hall more hostile, as long as you follow your mother's wishes, it will not be a big deal.

Empress Dowager Gao glanced at her son, who lowered her eyebrows, and suddenly said: "Although your imperial brother is sick, the maid brother can't be delayed when he goes out to study." Second brother, what do you see? ”

Zhao Hao was stunned, but he didn't have the courage to say no: "...... Mother said yes. ”

Empress Dowager Gao turned her head and called her personal attendant: "Chen Yan, send the things that were prepared before to Funing Palace." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's entrance gift to her grandson is just a set of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a copy of "The Analects". But this is the mind, which makes Zhao Hao unpredictable.

Although he felt that the Queen Mother's mind was unpredictable, His Royal Highness King Yong knew how to please his mother: "The child has actually prepared gifts, but they are not as delicate as the mother's side, and now I can't take a look." It's better for the mother to borrow two things from the child first, so as not to make the maid think that my uncle doesn't love him. ”

……………………

His aunt and second uncle left, and the queen breathed a sigh of relief. turned around and said to the sister-in-law who didn't leave together: "Shu Kingdom, the night is also deep." Just stay in the palace for the night, I'll let people arrange it. ”

"Thank you, saint." The princess of Shu got up and was very interested in taking her son to say goodbye.

But Zhao Maid dragged Wang Yi's hand and didn't let him go. Seeing that the two cousins had such a good relationship, he sighed to the queen: "Let Brother Yi'er accompany the sixth brother." ”

settled the sister-in-law in an orderly manner, and arranged for the son, daughter and nephew to go to sleep, and then the queen put everyone away, leaving Song Yongchen to speak alone: "Song Yongchen, what did Han Gang tell you?" ”

Song Yongchen immediately reported Han Gang's words to 1510, and he didn't dare to change even a word.

When Empress Xiang heard Han Gang mention Wang Anshi, and it was 'as soon as possible', her mind was dizzy. His hands twisted a green silk sweat towel vigorously, and his expression was so ugly that he couldn't even hide the palace powder on his face.

Han Gang's words are interpreted from different angles, and there are several interpretations. But to be sure, it will never be literal.

Thinking of the possibility that Han Gang was only delaying time for the sixth brother, Empress Xiang shuddered. Even though the dormitory was as warm as spring, she still felt cold to the bone.

Of course, it is also possible that Han Gang just wanted to recommend Wang Anshi to lead the government, just in case. But at this time, can you still report a bit of luck?

After a moment of trance and panic, Xiang regained her composure to the queen, signaled Song Yongchen to retreat, and then leaned weakly on the back of the chair. The pressure on her shoulders was so heavy that she didn't even know how to carry it.

Empress Xiang had no intention of discussing with other concubines. The queen can barely meddle in court affairs, but the concubines cannot, they can't interfere at all. And from a selfish heart, Empress Xiang didn't want her husband's other women to interfere.

Wang Anshi has never been in the eyes of the Queen Mother. But half of the credit for the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is due to Wang Anshi. Although Wang Anshi was arranged to go to Jinling, if it was a critical time, Wang Anshi would definitely be her husband's most trusted courtier. It's not that Wang Qi or Han Gang can compare.

If you want Wang Anshi to regain his appearance, even if the emperor speaks in person, it is not so easy, not to mention the current situation? To the Empress can be sure, at least. If Wang Anshi failed to regain his appearance, but offended the current Xianggong first, it would be the worst result.

An attendant walked in after being informed, and when he heard that Zhao Hao was left in the Baoci Palace, Xiang Empress's face became even more ugly.

But Chen Yan soon came with the enlightened gifts from the Queen Mother and Zhao Hao to Zhao Maid, and for a while, Queen Xiang became confused again, what does this mean?
