It is already Chen hour.
Han Qi and others invited Zhao Shu to the curtain.
Feng Jing and Zhang Yue had low official positions and could not hear about such an important event in person. They could only see shadowy figures inside the curtain. It seemed that Han Qi and others spoke to the prince first, and then Empress Cao spoke to the prince.
The prince seemed to be shaking his head, refusing to do so.
Zhang Yue and Feng Jing could also guess the general content. Han Qi persuaded him to come in, but the prince refused. The queen persuaded him again, but the prince still refused. After three concessions, the process was completed and everyone could sit down and pay homage to the new official. home, and then each went back to his own home.
Although the prince said he was unwilling to enter the palace before, he should have figured it out after staying in the palace for more than half a year.
The more Zhang thought of this, he suddenly saw the curtain lifted, and Zhao Shu rushed out of the palace and said loudly: "I don't dare to do this! I don't dare to do this!"
After saying that, Zhao Shu ran towards the palace gate like he was going crazy!
Han Qi and other prime ministers rushed out from behind the curtain and shouted: "Stop the prince quickly!"
Zhang Yue and Feng Jing were both confused. What is going on? ? ?
We can understand that you don't want to be an official, but what's the trick of running away? Acting should only be done when it's appropriate. Don't make it more difficult for us to persuade you to join us!
Seeing that Han Qi wanted Zhang Yue, Feng Jing and others went to chase him, but they also hesitated. The prince is the new king, who dares to stop the new king?
Therefore, everyone watched a group of 40- and 50-year-old Zaizhi chasing a 30-year-old young man all over the palace. The young Huangmen looked at this scene with dumbfounded eyes.
The prince Zhao Shu rushed out of the palace gate with his clothes disheveled, even his crown and belt had fallen off.
How dare you stop the small yellow door at the door? Just as Zhao Shu rushed out of the palace gate, he accidentally tripped on the threshold.
At this time, Han Qi, the chief minister, had already caught up.
Seeing that Han Qi's legs and feet were so nimble, Zhang Yue also admired him wholeheartedly. He was truly worthy of being a minister. A man in his fifties could move so quickly. Could it be that he had practiced somewhere before?
But when he saw Han Qi grabbing the prince's robe and tugging at it, Zhang Sheng, the Privy Councilor, rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Shu's arm. Zhang Yue was so moved when he saw this scene. The bigger the official, the faster he ran, as if He and Feng Jing, who were junior officials, did not dare to move for fear of hurting the prince's dragon body.
Zhang Yue now deeply understood that with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
With the tug from the top officials of the two governments, Ouyang Xiu, Hu Su and others rushed towards him like hungry tigers. One pressed his legs and the other rubbed his waist. They all worked together to pull Zhao, who was about to rush out of the palace with all his strength. Shu forcefully dragged him back to the palace.
Han Qi ordered the little yellow gates on the left and right: "Close the palace door quickly!"
Zhang Yue felt that this scene was really weird, and he really had to close the door, otherwise it would be bad for others to see him.
Han Qi tried to persuade him to come forward again, but Zhao Shu continued to shake his head and refused to say: "Masters, don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Han Qi and others asked: "Who in the world dares to kill an official?"
Zhao Shu glanced at Ren Shouzhong subconsciously, then looked at Queen Cao behind the curtain and said nothing.
Han Qi thought for a moment and said gently to Zhao Shu: "We will do our best to protect the officials and their families. No one in the world dares to harm them!"
Ren Shouzhong also gave a few words of hypocritical advice.
After Zhao Shu saw Ren Shouzhong's words, he shook his head even more firmly. He just refused.
Han Qi said angrily: "Let the prince change his clothes first!"
Zhao Shu trembled when he heard this and continued: "I don't dare to do it! I don't dare to do it!"
Han Qi and others ignored him, but saw the future emperor Zhao Shu being forcibly held down by Han Qi and several other white-haired ministers.
Han Qi pressed down on the dragon's back, Zeng Gongliang undressed his hair, Ouyang Xiu held down the dragon's feet, Zhao Gai picked up the dragon robe and wanted to put it on, Zhang Sheng tied his hands, and Wu Kui and Hu Su, two veterans, undressed Zhao Shu on the left and right. .
It's okay for the new official family. The lineup of people who serve and dress is really strong.
The people in the whole hall were dumbfounded.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, could this be the inheritance of the old Zhao family? The addition of yellow robes to the body is really a fine tradition of the Song Dynasty!
At this time, you must say something pretentious, "You are greedy for wealth and honor, and you have made me the emperor. You can follow my orders, otherwise, I cannot be your master!" '
But seeing the dignified emperor and six or seven prime ministers stage a sumo wrestling scene in the Funing Hall, who dares to believe this?
Seeing Zhao Shu being forcibly put on clothes, and then sitting on the royal couch with a look of despair, do you think he was sad? Not a single tear was shed from beginning to end. Do you think he is happy? This is definitely not a happy look.
The chamberlain on the side spoke in a low voice. Although the official was not born into the Daxing Emperor, he did not shed a single tear. This was too heartless.
Han Qi said to Empress Cao inside the curtain: "The prince is not in good health, and he was overly sad because of the death of Emperor Daxing. He couldn't bear to sit in his country, so he came here. Please forgive me."
The reasons Han Qi came up with would be obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. It was just a forced explanation, but at the moment he could only deal with it. Ren Shouzhong said nothing, just sneered from the side.
Queen Cao inside the curtain said in a tone that she was tired of the palace: "It all depends on the opinions of a few princes."
Han Qi and others cheered up: "We will pay homage to the official family first!"
After everyone has paid their respects to the new official's family, even if it is a great success and has made great contributions to the world, everyone can go away with peace of mind afterwards. Zhang Yue and Feng Jing also felt that this farce was about to end, so they quickly finished their business.
Just when everyone was about to bow, they heard Zhao Shu say "wait a minute."
What's going on?
Zhao Shu pointed to the two medical officers Sun Zhao and Shan Xiang beside him and said: "Emperor Daxing was treated by two people in the end?"
Sun Zhao and Shan Xiang, two medical officers, said together: "When Emperor Daxing used medicine before, he always had good practices. Unfortunately, this is the destiny of God, and it is beyond our control."
Zhao Shu said: "I heard that the two medical officers were recommended by the two governments, is that true?"
Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Zhang Sheng, etc. are all perverts.
Sun Zhao and Shan Xiang both said, "Yes."
Zhao Shu said: "I don't dare to know this. I can only wait for Mr. Han to give me an explanation in the future! If Mr. Han agrees to this, I will be an official, otherwise, I will not be an official!"
Zhang Yue listened and thought, the prince was not sick, on the contrary, his mind was very clear. What does he mean by this? It's not for Han Qi and the others, but for Ren Shouzhong and Empress Cao.
You prime ministers should not think that your efforts to persuade us to move in today will be a success. Even if you persuade us to move in today, I will still investigate the death of the late Emperor due to illness.
This sentence is comparable to "You are greedy for wealth and honor, and you have made me the emperor. You can follow my orders, otherwise, I cannot be your master."
Zhang Yue looked at the trembling Sun Zhao and Shan Xiang. If the throne was successfully replaced, no one present would suffer any loss. Only the two of them were innocent and became victims of the political struggle.
Seeing Zhao Shu's threats, how could Han Qi and others be frightened?
Han Qi frowned and said, "It all depends on the prince's opinion!"
Zhao Shu immediately closed his eyes and said nothing. Han Qi and other prime ministers bowed first, followed by Feng Jing and Zhang Yue, and then Ren Shouzhong and others bowed at the small yellow gate in the palace. Long live the mountain.
Han Qi said again: "In front of the Zhaodian, the deputy commander of the cavalry and infantry army, the Marquis of Duyu and the clan governor came to the front of the hall to issue an edict!"
"Call Hanlin bachelor Cao Zhi again!"
Soon the palace door opened, and the palace commander Li Zhang was the first to lead the army in front of the palace into the Funing Palace.
Li Zhang is the son of Li Yonghe, the brother of Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Concubine Li Chen. He is also the nephew of Concubine Li Chen and the cousin of Emperor Daxing. After hearing the transfer order, he led the army in front of the palace to impose martial law inside and outside the palace.
After Li Zhang heard that he had established a new official family, he immediately led hundreds of powerful troops into Funing Hall. When he got to the front of the hall, he said to his left and right: "After entering the hall, when you see my mountain call and kowtow to me, you will get the call from the mountain." , otherwise you are not allowed to say a word."
All the troops in the squad said: "Follow the command of the palace commander!"
After speaking, Li Zhang went to the palace, but saw Han Qi and others standing outside. He immediately went to the coffin of Emperor Daxing to cry and pay homage, and then met Empress Cao through the curtain. Li Zhang said a few words of condolences to the emperor's sister-in-law, and Empress Cao said a few words about the situation of the official family. Finally, Empress Cao said that the new official family has been established, and you can just go and see her.
Li Zhang then returned to the palace and asked Han Qi, "Where is the new king?"
Han Qi said: "I'm so sad that I can't speak for the moment!"
Li Zhang said forcefully: "I want to see the official!"
Han Qi glanced at the other party, and Li Zhang looked at each other. Han Qi took a step back and said, "I will give you permission!"
Soon after, Li Zhang was led to the side of the palace, where he saw Zhao Shu with his hair disheveled and his hat casually covered. He looked 'overly sad' as Han Qi said.
Li Zhang immediately stepped forward and brushed Zhao Shu's hair away with his wat board. Han Qi did not stop him and allowed him to do what he did. When Li Zhang took a closer look at the other party's face, he lost his voice and said: "It's really an official!"
After saying this, Li Zhang exited the hall and knelt down, and then shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Li Zhang, kowtow to you! Long live your Majesty!"
All the troops in your Royal Highness's squadron are also shouting, "Long live the mountain!"
With the call from the commander in front of the palace, Han Qi and others were finally relieved.
At this moment, Hanlin scholar Wang Gui led Fan Zhen, Jia An and others arrived. All the Hanlin scholars first kowtowed at the coffin of Emperor Daxing. Among them, Wang Gui was the most grateful and cried the most sadly.
Fan Zhen and Jia An also burst into tears.
After crying for a while, Han Qi said: "Now that the new king has been established, there is no need for you gentlemen to cry anymore, important matters are important!"
Wang Gui lost his voice and asked: "Who is the new king?"
When Zhang Yue heard this, he thought that Wang Gui's words were too bad. Together with his previous refusal to draft the edict, it was one mistake after another.
For a moment Wang Gui suddenly said: "But the prince?"
Han Qi nodded, Wang Gui lowered his head and said: "It's really what everyone expected."
Han Qi immediately led Wang Gui and others to meet Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu didn't say a word and had a cold face the whole time. Wang Gui thought that what he just said had deeply offended Xinjun, so he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, feeling deeply worried and uneasy.
Han Qi did not remind Wang Gui, but said: "The prince will carry on the official legacy to the world. Let the commander draft the edict!"
Wang Gui responded, and Han Qi ordered his eunuchs to get the edict and draft it in the palace.
At this moment, Wang Gui was holding the pen in his hand, but he looked like he was in a state of confusion and didn't know where to start. He was completely different from the usual way when he was drafting edicts, his thoughts were flowing and he was writing thousands of words.
Wang Gui was Zhang Yue's teacher for the provincial examination. Zhang Yue couldn't bear to see Wang Gui like this, so he quickly stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice: "How many years will Emperor Daxing reign?"
Wang Gui suddenly woke up and wrote the imperial edict. "
After the edict was written and stamped with the jade seal, the overall situation was 70% settled at this moment.
Han Qi felt a little relieved at this moment. He glanced at Zhang Yue, then at Feng Jing and Wang Gui, thinking of what happened last night, he thought, this guy is calm and calm, he is really a talent that can be created!
