Murphy's Law:

If you're worried that something will happen, then it's more likely to happen.

The reason why Tang Yi did not sit in Europe and won a broader territory and greater interests for the Great Song Dynasty was that he had actually been worried about the occurrence of a bad situation in his heart.

Worrying about a situation that is unlikely to happen, but having to worry about it happening.

It is the next year, that is, in 1063, the eighth year of Jiayou in the Great Song calendar.

It was an extremely frightening year for him, because in the original history, this year, Zhao Zhen, the ancient emperor, the old man who respected him like a father in his heart, would leave forever.

Although he knew that history had changed, and that what he had stirred up was unrecognizable, or that it was simply impossible.

Tang Yi has repeatedly scrutinized countless times, telling himself countless times in his heart that Zhao Zhen's fate is different, he shouldn't and can't still be so short-lived.

You must know that in the time and space without Tang Yi, the reason why Zhao Zhen died suddenly in his early fifties was because the situation in the Great Song Dynasty was far from being as promising as it is now.

The Great Liao often threatened Yanyun with war, and the Western Xia simply took the Great Song Dynasty to fight the tooth sacrifice every year, and there were many factions in the court, and there were constant secret disputes.

Zhao Zhen can be described as embarrassed at home and abroad, and his heart is haggard.

Moreover, the biggest problem is that in the original history, Zhao Zhen had no son. In order to have his own son, he still "worked hard" in his old age, busy with sexual affairs every day, and his body had long been hollowed out.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhao Zhen established the prince in the seventh year of Jiayou and died in the eighth year of Jiayou.

However, now in the case of a great change of fate, how can he be "not very good"!?

Yan Yun is in hand, Song Liao is stable; Western Xia was pacified, and there was no more boundless matter; Above the court, the group of people who stirred up the storm were either broken by Tang Yi, or they didn't dare to act rashly for fear of breaking their legs, and there was really nothing to worry about.

In the harem, because he had a son early, Zhao Zhen paid more attention to moderation and never had excessive demand.

He--, Lao Tzu even dug up the lead and mercury in the palace for him, how could he still be "bad" in such a situation!?

Therefore, when Song Zhen said that Zhao Zhen intended to establish a prince, Tang Yi thought not that it was time to establish a prince, but that Zhao Zhen's body did not allow him not to establish a prince, and Song Zhen's answer also confirmed this.

......

It still happened, and Zhao Zhen still can't escape his fate? Tang Yi is now thinking about this question.

Even if he had been mentally prepared, when this unlikely thing was really in front of him, Tang Yi knew that he was really, really, really....

I can't accept it.

......

————————————

"Your Majesty has really not been very good lately, so this gave birth to the heart of the reserve."

Song Zhen replied like this, and Tang Yi exploded directly.

"How could he not be so good!? Shouldn't he be bad!? ”

“......”

Song Zhuangyuan looked at Tang Yi in a daze, "It shouldn't be...."What do you mean?

“.....”

This time it was Tang Yi's turn to be speechless, and in his excitement, he said something he shouldn't have said.

"No, it's nothing," he prevaricated. Wasn't it always good before? How could it be ...... all of a sudden?"

......

In the original history, Zhao Zhen was in Jiayou for seven years, and due to physical reasons, Zhao Zongshi was named the crown prince and renamed Zhao Shu. Zhao Zhen himself died of illness in the spring of the following year.

......

And in this time and space under the influence of Tang Yi, it is now the seventh year of Jiayou, and Zhao Zhen also wants to establish Zhao Zonglin as the prince and change his name to Zhao Shu due to physical reasons.

History seems to pull this old man back to his original trajectory, and still let such a good man die hastily in his early fifties.

...

"Zi Hao don't be in a hurry!"

Seeing Tang Yi's almost out of shape expression, Song Zhen knew that he was really in a hurry, so he hurriedly persuaded, "Xu is a minor illness, so don't worry about it." ”

Tang Yi shouted: "What kind of prince does a small illness make!?" ”

Song Zhen was speechless, "The second prince is already ten years old, and it is time to be prepared." ”

"No way!!" Tang Yi gritted his teeth fiercely, no matter how much Song Zhen comforted him now, it was impossible for him to feel at ease.

"I'll leave for Song tomorrow!"

....

——————————

Two days later, on the shores of the Red Sea, Suez.

Yang Wenguang, Suma, and 30,000 Yazhou troops in the Sinai Peninsula watched silently from the shore as Tang Yi's fleet sailed into the harbor from the canal.

As soon as he put down the springboard, Yang Wenguang jumped on the boat.

He knew that Tang Yi was in a hurry to return to Song, and he didn't delay, after a simple greeting, "Before leaving, what else do you need to entrust?" ”

Tang Yi smiled lightly, but there was no brilliance in his smile.

"With Uncle Yang guarding the Sinai Peninsula, what can I worry about?"

This time, the Western Marshal of the Great Song Dynasty, Suma, will also return to the Song Dynasty with Tang Yi, and the Sinai battlefield will be controlled by Yang Wenguang.

"I have only one request."

"Speak."

"Defend but not attack!"

"Defend but not attack?" Yang Wenguang was stunned. "This is not Tang Yi's style."

"Why?"

Tang Yi said: "Defending the Sinai Peninsula is victory, don't covet the holy city." ”

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to convince Yang Wenguang, so I added: "Believe me, it's a hot potato, whoever likes to occupy it, let's not touch this hand." ”

"At least...... I can't get it right now. ”

Yang Wenguang nodded slowly, he somewhat understood what Tang Yi meant.

The Holy City of the Three Sects, others are treasures, but there is no need for the Great Song Dynasty to wade into this troubled water, and it is really not a bad thing to stay out of the matter.

"Remember, hold on to Sinai, don't take half a step!"

Tang Yi put his mind at ease and glanced at the Yazhou army who was boarding the ship on the shore.

"Why don't you leave the 30,000 Yazhou army to Uncle Yang, it's safer."

"No!" Yang Wenguang refused very simply, "Only defend and not attack, it is enough to have the original Egyptian army, and the 20,000 Mamluks are a bit overkill." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Wenguang looked at Tang Yi.

"I think you should bring Mamluk back to the Great Song Dynasty as well, maybe it will be useful!"

“.....”

Tang Yi was stunned for a while, and he didn't understand what Yang Wenguang meant for a while.

"Alas...," Yang Wenguang sighed. Before leaving, say something you shouldn't say. ”

"Uncle, please speak!"

Yang Wenguang stabilized his mind and said solemnly: "If you go back, if you are just worried about the safety of Your Majesty, then that's it." ”

"What if...."

Speaking of which, Yang Wenguang still overestimated himself, and the following words were a little unbearable.

He is loyal, loyal to Zhao Zhen, not Tang Yi.

However, if Zhao Zhen is gone, he is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty.

And the Great Song Dynasty, relying on those literati will not have a future, only within Tang Yi's control, will it be better.

Suppressing the feeling of guilt in his heart, he reluctantly said: "If Zihao has other thoughts.... It's always good to have a little more power in your hands. ”

"Uncle, you...."Tang Yi was completely petrified, and couldn't believe that these words came out of Yang Wenguang's mouth.

"Don't say anything!"

Yang Wenguang waved his hand with difficulty! "Let's go...."

"Seeing His Majesty tell him, the Yang family is ashamed of the emperor!!"

......

After saying that, he silently clenched his fist at Tang Yi, then resolutely turned around and strode off the boat.

Tang Yi looked at Yang Wenguang's resolute back in a daze, and recalled the old general's almost clear words just now......

What's he doing?

He's taking sides!? Stand on his Tang Yi's team!?

Perhaps, Yang Wenguang's original intention was not to let Tang Yi take the Song Dynasty, but don't forget, Tang Yi is surrounded by Zhao Zongqi, another Zhao Zhen who has the power to inherit the throne.

The old general knows very well that whether it is Zhao Zongqi or Zhao Zonglin, whoever will be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty cannot do without Tang Yi.

Instead of letting a rather variable Zhao Zongqi ascend the throne, it is better to change to an obedient one, which is better for the Great Song Dynasty.

“.....”

Silent and silent for a long time, Tang Yi couldn't help but sigh bitterly in his heart, at this time, no one could jump out of the whirlpool of politics, even Yang Wenguang.....

What about yourself? His original intention was just to go back and see the old man, if Zhao Zhen was really tired and wanted to leave, then at least he would have no regrets.

But is it really as simple as just looking at it?

Will it be possible?

.....

At this moment, Tang Yi himself began to waver.

As Song Kai said before, Tang Yi has changed, becoming less clear about right and wrong, and less affectionate and sexual.

In this big dye vat of power, he also unconsciously changed colors.

....

——————————

The warships were not as fast as the Exocet ships, and they could run from the Red Sea to the mainland of the Great Song Dynasty in two months.

Along the way, even if Tang Yi tried everything possible to hurry, even if he gave up the trouble when he passed through Angkor, it still took Tang Yi nearly five months to return to Yazhou.

....

At this time, it was already the autumn of the seventh year of Jiayou, although Yazhou was still warm as summer, but Tang Yi felt a chill in his heart.

Because on the way, he had already received the news that Zhao Zongqi, who is now Xiao Zhao Shu, had been officially canonized as the crown prince. Zhao Zhen even ordered the prince to supervise the country and handle government affairs on the grounds of sharpening the prince.

A ten-year-old prince, what country is in prison? What kind of government affairs can be handled?

Although it was not mentioned in the news, Tang Yi knew that Zhao Zhen must have fallen ill, otherwise he would not be so reluctant.

And along the way, Tang Yi finally figured out why the internal and external stability and restraint of sexual affairs still did not protect Zhao Zhen's health.

Reform, a reform that consumes more effort than internal and external matters, has completely dragged down this old emperor!

In the final analysis, Zhao Zhen's foundation is not good, he has been frail and sickly since he was a child, although he has paid great attention to conditioning in recent years, but in the end he is still congenitally wrong.

Coupled with the return of Yan Yun, Zhao Zhen is more diligent and harder, he wants to surpass the emperor, surpass Taizu and Taizong, not only to be a benevolent monarch, but also to become a holy lord.

In the past five years, Zhao Zhen has only slept two or three hours a day, and he has been in power all the time. Since the reform took shape, it has been more hands-on and strives for perfection.

If someone else is changed, it may be just a small problem, but Zhao Zhen ...... But it doesn't work.

....

As soon as the boat docked, Tang Yi didn't care about Edward, Donald, and Suma and the "foreigners", and entered the Grand View Garden with Grandma Liu.

He got off the boat straight and walked towards Jia Changchao, who was waiting there.

......

Jia Xiangye was even more simply, and he didn't use Tang Yi to speak:

"A month ago, the old man who asked the mad king to return to Song to return to Beijing to report on his work has already sent it out for you."

"Zhanzhou Xuanhui envoy Pang Ji and the Southwest Army are all unified Shi Jinwu, including Song Zhen, the Egyptian Jiedu envoy, is also a flying fish report, and the notes that ask for a reward from the imperial court have been sent to Kaifeng."

"It is estimated that at this time, Yu Jing, Sima Guang, Ding Du, Song Qi, and the officials of the Guanlan Department in various states will also be brought to the official desk."

"And!" Lao Jia didn't finish when he opened his mouth, and he didn't give Tang Yi a chance to interject.

"I just received Pan Guowei's flying pigeon express, and the official family went to court yesterday!"

"Prince... But it wasn't in the upper plane. ”

“......”

“......”

Tang Yi's head exploded with a buzz......

Lao Jia is worthy of a generation of capable ministers, he-damn-, he hasn't touched the ground yet, everything has been arranged!

What's going on?

This is on the rack of him Tang Yi!!

If he is still hesitating on the road, then he doesn't even have to hesitate now, because the road has been paved, and he has to go if he doesn't go.

Moreover, even he didn't know that in addition to the officials of the Guanlan Department, even the Shi family, the Pan family, Song Zhen, Ding Du, and Sima Guang were all on his side.

And the official family is in court.... What does that mean?

It's not that the old emperor's illness is cured, but that the official family is shaking, or rather, he is easing the situation.

The old emperor realized that this prince might have made a mistake!

......

——————————

It's a pity that Lao Jia did a disservice, if he didn't come out now, Tang Yi might still be hesitating, maybe still weighing, maybe he still has to consider, is this time to do my own thing, or the overall situation?

However, after Lao Jia did this, it was like a slap that woke Tang Yi up:

What are you doing?

......

"Jia Xiangye!!" Tang Yi instantly regained his clarity and felt the need to explain to Lao Jia.

"I have no intention of swaying the throne, you are thinking too much."

However, unexpectedly, Jia Changchao's answer was beyond Tang Yi's expectations, and he was not stunned and flustered.

The old guy had a hideous face, "If you don't fight, you have to fight!" ”

Why didn't Tang Yi open his mouth and shake out a large string of dishes as if he were directly reporting the name of the dish? Just don't leave room for this madman.

"With so many people, such a big stall, and so many interests driven inside and out, you can't be the slightest bit arrogant!"

Lao Jia took the lead and had a hideous face.

"You don't know yet, Wen Yanbo has clearly supported the prince, and Fu Yanguo has also stated that he will listen to the will of the official family."

"Bao Zheng, Tang Jie, and most of the civil and military forces in the DPRK are the same."

"And although Wei Guogong and Runan Wangfu have no action, they are secretly constantly moving."

"Once Your Majesty makes a mistake, do you know what that means?"

.....

Tang Yi frowned, since ancient times, the change of the throne has been regarded as the foundation of the country, so looking at it, it is really unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, the Guanlan system, which was once gathered together for ideals and ambitions, was also divided into two......

What it means, there is no need for Lao Jia to tell him at all.

It means that the part that has an interest in them will want to take power by themselves, while the other half who have no interest in it, or whose interests are contrary to it, hope to follow the holy will and get greater benefits in the court of eliminating the interests of the mad king.

And if Wei Guogong and the others don't take this opportunity to get a little benefit for themselves, it is simply impossible.

In other words, once Zhao Zhen dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, the Great Song Dynasty will face a big chaos, and the good situation that everyone has worked together for so many years will be gone.

The positive atmosphere created for the sake of the Song Revolution will be even more ......

Gone!

......

Politics, this is court politics, Tang Yi hates this kind of politics more than ever at this time.

Because, unconsciously, he himself has become the leader of this dirty political scheme, what is the difference between this and the yellow robe?

If you don't want to move, others will involuntarily pile you forward, and the rotation of the old and new kings has always been like this, and the damage caused is no less than the destruction of a country by a war.

And at this moment, Tang Yi never thought that he didn't know how to break this situation.

He.... Immediately, immediately....

I'm going to become a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty!!

No solution!!

Motionless? The new lord is in power, even if Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and others have no opinion on Tang Yi, in order to weaken the interest groups of Jiangmen and Guanlan, they have to marginalize Tang Yi.

Then the ship of the Great Song Dynasty will not be controlled by Tang Yi, and under the turbulent situation, the success or failure of the Song Dynasty is especially unknown.

From a historical point of view, he was a victim and a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty.

Move? Then he Tang Yi not only has to turn his back on Zhao Zhen, but also turns his back on himself, he is a chaotic minister and thief, irrefutable!

......

————————

Tang Yi's silence and distortion did not make Jia Changchao relent.

"Yu Gong ......" Lao Jia pointed at Tang Yi's nose, almost crazy.

"Yu Gong, when the Great Song Dynasty survived, it was not allowed to have civil strife in the Guanlan system, let alone allow your children to grow up. For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, you have to let go of your feelings and give the old man a top! ”

"Private!!"

"The Jiangmen families, as well as so many of your disciples, do not allow your big tree to fall. Once the crown prince ascends the throne and Wen Yanbo takes power, if you want to change the heavens and let go of the Song Dynasty, it will be difficult!! ”

"Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about this big stall person!!"

"Even if you don't think about this big stall, you have to think about Da Song!!"

......

"What about you?" Tang Yi asked abruptly, his face pale.

"What is Jia Xiangye for? Is it public or private? ”

"I...."Lao Jia was stunned.

"I.... Am I still important? At this time, what is the need to talk about public and private? ”

"Important." Tang Yi replied extremely firmly.

"For me, it's important."

.....

Tang Yi smiled miserably, "Because, from now on, I may face a desperate situation with no friends, no backup, no understanding, no way out, or even a losing game where I don't even have a hole card in my hand." ”

"I want to know if Jia Xiangye is an enemy or my only ally in such a game."

"You...."Jia Changchao looked at Tang Yi in a daze, he had a very bad premonition, this madman....

You're going to be completely insane!!

"What are you going to do?"

"Fight." Tang Yi looked at Jia Changchao calmly.

"Against whom?"

"And ugliness, and reason!"

“......”

Jia Changchao was dizzy for a while, and for a while he couldn't understand what the ugliness and truth in Tang Yi's mouth were, but when he heard Tang Yi's ears, he continued:

"He Shi family, Pan family, Cao family, Yang family..... Those who want to push me to a high position. ”

"And Your Majesty, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Bao Zheng, Tang Jie.... Those who don't want me to be autocratic. ”

"And.... The Northwest Department, Runan Palace, those who think that I will never recover. ”

"And the Guanlan system, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty!!"

"And those...."

"People who like me, people who don't like me!!"

......

It's over, Jia Xiangye's eyes are dark, Tang Zihao is really crazy!!

Moreover, it will be ugly to die with him......
