This was the last time Jia Changchao ascended to the court, and there was neither the extreme brilliance when Fan Zhongyan left, nor the vigor when Zhao Degang left.

He just left, and what he said goodbye to was just the almost cathartic anger of his old opponent Tang Yi.

......

In the Funing Palace.

Zhao Zhen didn't know how big a game Tang Yi had done in front of him, and he didn't know what the "mad king's anger" created by his genius pen meant to the Great Song Dynasty and to him, the emperor.

At this time, Zhao Zhen was not easy at all, thinking about what the situation would be in Zichen Palace, and on the other hand, he had to deal with Li Bingchen's almost crazy way of abandoning chess.

That's right, Li Daguan is abnormal, and he is no longer the flattering minister who accompanies the emperor to relieve his boredom, and there must be murderous spirit where he falls, and he is full of grandeur between chess.

Zhao Zhen finally didn't have to complain about the old eunuch's blind concessions, he was already tired of coping with it at this time, and the danger was full of dangers.

......

Only half of the game was played, Zhao Zhen was in a mess of chess, and seeing that the defeat was decided, he simply threw the chess pieces and threw in the defeat.

"Bingchen!" Raised his eyes to look at Old Li. "Do you have something to say?"

This old eunuch is really abnormal today, he didn't save any face for him, the emperor, and he was killed in half a game, and the blood flowed like a river......

Li Bingchen was still staring at the chess game, he had something to say. But what is the difference between saying and not saying? I can only place my affection on chess and talk about the sullen in my heart.

"The old slave has no reward."

"That's not right!" Zhao Zhen stared at Li Bingchen without blinking. "You must have something to say, and besides, I've guessed what you're going to say."

"You're trying to say that I shouldn't have pushed him to the temple, right!?"

"He came back to ask for marriage, no matter whether the palace succeeds or fails today, the courtiers will be more ruthless kings, and if I give marriage in the future, the resistance will be even greater."

"You're complaining, aren't you!?"

“......”

Li Bingchen finally raised his head, and the stiff smile on his face gradually faded.

"Since Your Majesty understands everything, and you know that it is a trouble, then why bother?"

Li Bingchen has served Zhao Zhen all his life, he has been careful all his life, and he has been cautious for a lifetime, perhaps, it is time to say a few words of truth for this life.

"Or does Your Majesty regret it? Want to use the mouth of the old slave to talk about guilt?? ”

"You ......"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while, and the old eunuch had no temper at all with one mouth.

"I only ask you if that's what you think, you old minion, what are you doing so far?"

Li Bingchen smiled indifferently and didn't answer, but shook his head in frustration, and popped out again, "Your Majesty disappointed......"

"What the old slave wanted to say just now is not this."

Zhao Zhen was stunned, "Then what are you going to say?" ”

"To say something disrespectful, if you offend Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty."

"The matter of giving marriage, Your Majesty said that it doesn't count, and what the courtiers said doesn't count, only if the mad king says it!"

"In other words, even if His Majesty does not grant marriage, and everyone in the world opposes it, that madman will still marry Her Royal Highness. His Majesty knows this better than the old slave, and Tang Zihao can do it. ”

“......”

Zhao Zhen was silent, although he didn't want to admit it, but what Li Bingchen said was not wrong at all. In other words, marriage is just a situation, and Tang Yi can't be coerced.

"And what exactly are you trying to say?"

Li Bingchen looked at Zhao Zhen calmly, "Actually, since the old slave entered the palace this morning, this sentence has been held in my heart. It's just that His Majesty thought about it and exhausted the organs, but he didn't give the old slave a chance to say this. ”

“......”

"What the old slave wants to say is that Your Majesty is going to be a grandfather, do you want to give a good name to the new baby?"

"After all, Yazhou is thousands of miles away, and it will be too late to give a name when you are born."

Speaking of this, Li Bingchen looked at Zhao Zhen playfully, "That's all the old slave wants to say, it must not be as complicated as His Majesty thinks." “

“......”

“！！！”

Zhao Zhen was speechless at first, and then felt cold.

"Bingchen, you ......"

Li Bingchen smiled again, "Since the old slave brought the news that the princess was pregnant into the palace early in the morning, for a whole morning, His Majesty has not asked Princess Fukang if it is okay, let alone thought that the baby in the princess's womb is your first grandchild's child." ”

"The old slave doesn't know why His Majesty is suddenly so jealous of the Mad King, and he doesn't understand how His Majesty has become so indifferent, but the old slave knows ......" Speaking of this, Li Bingchen's face flushed, and his old eyes were hazy.

"But the old slave knows that this is not the saint who the old slave has served all his life, and he is not the saint who is benevolent and benevolent to the world."

Zhao Zhen's face was also hot, and he was embarrassed by an old waiter, this was the first time.

Admittedly looked at Li Bingchen, "But, but I am the emperor!" ”

Li Bingchen shook his head, "The saint has been an emperor for more than 30 years, not like an emperor, how can he use the emperor's technique to measure the closest person?" ”

“......”

Zhao Zhen was silent again, and after a long time, he shook his head and mourned: "It seems that Bingchen still thinks that I am unfair to the mad king." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare."

"Bingchen...."Zhao Zhen sighed and looked outside the hall.

"Zi Hao's talent, if you compare with the previous people, who do you think are most like?"

"The old slave doesn't know."

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "When the Tang Dynasty is pushed, Guo Ziyi! ”

"He has Guo Ziyi's talent, he will go out of the country, and he will succeed as he goes."

"Needless to say, there is Guo Ziyi's loyalty to the Son of Heaven in Liangjing."

"However, even if he can set the country and secure the country, and his credit is better than that of loyal Wugong, he is far from Guo Ziyi's way of doing things if he uses it, hiding it when he comes out, and combining the light with the dust."

"So ......"

"The merit covers the world and the Lord does not doubt it, the extremely popular minister and the public are not jealous, and the poor and extravagant are not wrong."

"Zihao can only do the third at most, which is why I am afraid of him."

"That's a madman, and a sensual madman who doesn't know how to do things!"

"He can go bankrupt for an idea to fight back Yanyun, he can give up his life for disdain, or he can send himself to Yazhou for the so-called ideals and beliefs."

"Then who can guarantee that after the eons of eternity, he will not have another thought of ascending to Dabao to change the dynasty?"

"I have to guard against it!"

......

Speaking of which, I go back to the previous topic.

But this time, Li Chengcheng didn't plan to be vague anymore.

smiled indifferently, looked down at the chess game where Zhao Zhen had already admitted defeat, and suddenly said:

"Your Majesty hasn't lost yet, why don't you go down?"

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen watched the chess suspiciously, and also invested in it for a while.

"Didn't you lose?"

"Here." Li Bingchen pointed to a corner of the plate.

Hiss!!

Zhao Zhen reacted immediately, but there was something to be done under the chessboard. It seems to be a backwater, but with a little operation, it can be revitalized, and the situation is very different.

"Eh......" Zhao Zhen sighed regretfully. I'm old, but my hands and eyes are useless. ”

"The authorities are fascinated, Your Majesty is only staring at one place on the plate, but it is difficult to see a small place."

Zhao Zhen looked up at Li Chengcheng, the two have been together for half their lives, how can they not know that this old eunuch has something to say?

"What are you going to say again this old slave?"

Li Bingchen was happy, "What insight can the old slave have?" It's just a 'bystander'. ”

"Your Majesty compared Guo Ziyi, but the old slave has a question."

"Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty really thinks that Tang Zihao is a loyal martial prince? Or do you think you're Tang Suzong? ”

“......”

Zhao Zhen froze there all of a sudden, his face was dull, and he was speechless for a while.

Li Bingchen just looked at Zhao Zhen and waited for his reaction.

Zhao Zhen grew up under his watch, and he surpassed the ordinary master and servant. Now that he has retired to Guanlan and is about to die, there is nothing he can't say.

"The four pillars of the Zhongwu Dynasty, but in the eyes of the four Tang Emperors, the Zhongwu Gong is just a courtier,"

"Renchen, his own way of being a minister, and the way of being loyal to the martial arts is naturally understandable."

"However, Your Majesty is not Tang Suzong, let alone the Tang Dynasty, and there are immortal ministers like Zhongwu Gong to recreate the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty has only one madman, hoping to prosper the Song Dynasty."

"However, the biggest difference between this madman and Zhongwu Gong is that he has not been a courtier since the day he entered Beijing, and His Majesty has never used him as a courtier!"

"If the old slave comes to push a predecessor to compare, then the old slave thinks that it is a concession to 'die for his confidant'."

"And the one who is willing to throw away life and death, regardless of his reputation, will use his life to defend it......"

"It's Your Majesty!"

When Li Bingchen said this, his words changed and he was even more sincere.

"Your Majesty thinks, is Zihao really a madman?"

"Did he really rely on a crazy force to create the behemoth of Guanlan?"

"Is it really crazy and rampage to get Yan Yun back?"

"Is it really ruthless, completely breaking the thoughts of the king of Runan?"

"Your Majesty knows better than the old slave that Zihao has gone from a market naughty boy to today, and he can't achieve such things by being crazy."

"Don't do it unless you're the smartest of the best."

"But ......"

"But why!? Why can't an extremely smart person learn Guo Ziyi's way of doing things, but he seems so naïve and awkward in his relationship with His Majesty? ”

"Why?" Zhao Zhen muttered.

In fact, he has the answer in his heart, but he just doesn't want to admit it.

Li Bingchen shouted loudly, "Because he cares!" ”

"Just like Your Majesty at this time, there is nowhere to vent the pain in his heart, so he can only complain to an old eunuch by playing chess and on the grounds of 'marriage' that he thinks is ridiculous."

"Isn't it because you care, because you never treated him as a courtier?"

“......”

Zhao Zhen was speechless again.

stubbornly argued: "A king is a king, a minister is a minister, he has always been just a courtier, and I only regard him as a courtier!" ”

Li Bingchen shook his head, "From the very beginning, Your Majesty knew how big Guanlan was and how strong this madman's destructive power was. ”

"If he is a courtier, His Majesty will not let him encircle the gate and raise Guanlan."

"If he is a courtier, His Majesty will not let him slap Zhang Yaozuo on the Palace of Retirement."

"If he were a courtier, His Majesty would not have recovered Yanyun by him alone, and he would become His Royal Highness the Mad King who had high merit!"

"If, for, minister, son!"

......

"Enough!!"

At this time, Zhao Zhen was extremely conflicted in his heart, and in front of him, Tang Yi, who was close to his own son, and Tang Yi, who was powerful and powerful, were constantly alternating.

The irritable burst out loud:

"Even if he's not crazy, he's a diehard, he's ......"

"Even if he is my own son, the way of the monarch and the minister cannot be broken, and the root of the disaster cannot be buried!"

"This is not something that you, a minister, should discuss!!"

"Your Majesty......"

Regarding Zhao Zhen's anger of the Son of Heaven, Li Bingchen was extremely calm.

"You asked the old slave to say it!"

"You!!" Zhao Zhen's face was distorted, and he stared at Li Bingchen out of breath.

"You...... You're damned! ”

......

Facing Zhao Zhen, who had lost his mind, Li Bingchen couldn't help but have a joking thought in his heart:

Is Tang Yi crazy, or is it our official family...... Lose your marbles?

got up dejectedly and looked outside the hall, "It's not too early, Your Majesty should also go to court." ”

"The old slave retired ......"

This time, although Li Bingchen's steps were still faltering, he walked extremely firmly.

"You come back to me, I didn't let you go, you can't go!"

Li Daguan laughed miserably and didn't even look back.

"And what about Your Majesty? Kill the old slave, as a courtesy of the monarch and the minister!? ”

After saying that, the old official was absolutely ready to come out, but ......

But as soon as he raised his eyes, his whole body stiffened, and he looked in the direction of the temple gate and was stunned.

Zhao Zhen followed his gaze and also looked at the door of the hall, only to feel that his heart was tight, and the anger of the previous dragon face instantly disappeared into invisibility, his face was dull, and he muttered:

"You...... Coming, huh? ”

......

Outside the gate of the palace, Tang Yi, who was supposed to be on the Zichen Palace, stood long in the afternoon sun.

The originally calm expression also fluctuated slightly, the anger accumulated in Yazhou, the roar of catharsis on the Zichen Palace, and the words that had been prepared a long time ago, at this time, I don't know where to go, and my unconsciously momentum weakened.

Zhao Zhen is old, and he has more gray hair than a year ago......

Slowly entering the hall, he didn't salute, but replied lightly: "I'm back." ”

Zhao Zhen was cramped for a while, Tang Yi came suddenly, there was neither communication nor warning, and the old emperor was not prepared at all.

Stiffly looked out of the temple, "Morning Dynasty...... All solved? ”

"Solved."

Tang Yi's answer was light, and Zhao Zhen was also absent-minded when he listened.

After Tang Yi finished speaking, the old emperor blurted out:

"Shi Jinwu has long had the heart to belong, I know it."

"I didn't bet on your son......"

“......”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhen himself was stunned, why did he suddenly come up with such a sentence, he was too anxious.

Tang Yi was slightly shaken, not knowing how to answer, and the scene immediately froze.

Li Bingchen looked at the two of them, sighed in his heart, took a step forward, and said, "How did Zihao deal with the affairs in the Zichen Palace?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Zhao Zhen hurriedly responded. Speak and listen. ”

Tang Yi had nothing to do, and immediately went through the details of the Zichen Palace, including his own catharsis - "That's my Guanlan!" ”

Zhao Zhen listened in a daze, and the expression on his face changed from helpless to calm.

When Tang Yi finished speaking, he came back to his senses and smiled bitterly:

"Da Lang is resentful, it turns out that you are here to take care of my Guanlan!"

......

"Your Majesty has misunderstood."

After the stunned moment of first sight, Tang Yi is now calm.

Give a gift, solemn and measured.

"Minister......

"I'm here to ask for a marriage!"

"Minister?"

"What a minister!"

Zhao Zhen nodded heavily, and said angrily: "I have asked Qin Tianjian, on the seventh day of the next month, on the auspicious day of the zodiac, I will draw up a decree, and the princess will surrender (marry)"

"Aiqing...... You can rest assured! ”

Tang Yi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhen, if Zhao Zhen was still hesitant when he first entered the door, and his true feelings were revealed, then Zhao Zhen, who had calmed down now, still chose a result that Tang Yi didn't want to see.

"The minister is always at ease."

"The minister never thought that the princess was not the minister's wife."

"Minister......

"It's ...... that doesn't feel at ease"

"There is one less elder who knows me and believes in me, but there is one more son of heaven who uses me and doubts me!"

"Minister, I have regrets in my heart!"

"Regrets?"

Zhao Zhen's eyes widened, he stood up, leaned over to look at Tang Yi, and slowly walked out of the book case.

"Do you have regrets?"

Pointing at Tang Yi and coming to him, "Okay!" ”

"Then I will be your elder again, and let this elder tell you that he ...... in his heart."

"There are also regrets, and they are no less than you!"

"Little bastard, I'll tell you a story."

"Do you want to hear it?"

.......
