In front of Funing Hall, the silent Yu Longzhi stood upright.
The general, who was wearing armor and fully armed, held in his hand the saber that had followed him through countless campaigns in the north and south.
Beside him, dozens of personal guards gathered tightly around him.
He looked forward, at the procession of queens, princes, and ministers being dragged under the inner east gate.
So, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will finally live up to the government's trust!" the general said softly.
The generals on the left and right, who had been following him for more than ten years, looked at this general who always led them to charge forward.
Someone couldn't help but whisper: "Commander, why are you doing this?"
"Since ancient times, when generals participated in royal family affairs, most of them ended badly..."
The general shook his head and said: "Otherwise! I received great favor from the officials, and for them I personally promoted myself to the top of the world's military officials!"
"Since I was favored by the official family, I have always done meritorious service and rewarded you first. Now it's time to repay the favor. Even if you die, why regret it?"
He will never forget that he was just a small envoy of the third class.
It was the officials who personally promoted him, appreciated him, entrusted him with important tasks, and gave him credit!
Along the way, he was promoted from a small envoy of the third class to a general of the country, to a full-time Jiedushi, and to the commander of the Sanya Palace, ranking above the generals of the world!
He will never forget the high hopes and trust that the officials placed in him when they worshiped the generals and made poems!
"I pray to my father to be an officer, to be the king's talisman! To be a general, to serve as a minister of the country... Only majesty and love can be enough to show down, only loyalty can be repaid to the king! Diligence is the heart, and it is my wish!"
Last year, he also issued an edict to encourage him: "Commanders Yan and Yan are on guard at the Curtain Palace at night. Since they have been tested according to etiquette, they should be treated as gods."
You use me as a national scholar, and I should repay you as a national scholar!
Wear a ring of grass, charge into battle, and wrap your body in horse leather, no matter what!
The general next to him, looking at his general's determined look, sighed and said, "Even so, you don't have to come here in person!"
"You are the palace commander, and every move you make can shake people's hearts! If other clan members see it, some people will inevitably gossip..."
The general shook his head and said firmly: "That's why I want the armor to come here to protect the emperor's heir!"
"This will deter evildoers and rebellious ministers!"
"Especially those from the royal family!"
"I want them to see that the prince and heir are the will of God and the will of the people!"
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble should first ask for the weapon in my hand!"
While he was talking, the ministers gathered around him, and the empress and prince's bodyguards guarded by Yu Longzhi came closer.
The general led his men, immediately retreated to the side, and then bowed in obeisance.
The general's eyes filled with tears as he looked at the prince's figure walking behind the beaded curtain.
His mission!
The mission entrusted to him by the officials was finally fulfilled!
…
Bu Xue fell in front of Funing Hall.
Zhao Xu was sitting among them, and through the bead curtain, he saw from a distance a burly general, wearing Zhongjia and holding a sword, who was bowing to him from a distance.
"Yanda!" Zhao Xu sighed in his heart.
"I have also changed your destiny!" He said leisurely.
In my previous life, it was the ninth day of the seventh month in the third year of Yuanyou.
Sikong, the inspector of the school, the founding Duke of Henan County, the military envoy of Zhijie Wuxin, and the commander of the front division of the palace, Yan Dayan, died suddenly at home at the age of fifty-nine!
Before Zhao Xu established himself as the crown prince, this general had cleared countless obstacles for him and shielded him from countless storms.
When he was appointed as the crown prince, he personally led the troops and horses to guard the palace for him.
On the day he ascended the throne, he personally held a sword and stood in front of the palace, publicly announcing: "The emperor has newly ascended the throne, and I am sitting here in my armor to be prepared for emergencies. If a traitor comes in with the royal family, something unexpected will happen." How can everyone be able to argue?" A loyal minister.
Just die at home like that, no one knows the cause of death, and no one will investigate the cause of death.
But who is the so-called royal family in Yanda’s mouth, and who is the so-called traitor?
It’s clear at a glance, no need to say more!
This was originally just a taboo.
But for a general of this level, as long as he does not rebel or seek rebellion, no matter how taboo he violates, he will be indulged and tolerated. At most, he will be reprimanded and fined a copper. It's amazing, but he will be demoted a few levels.
This country treats its generals well!
but……
Zhao Xu lowered his head. He knew that after he took office, he conducted a comprehensive investigation into everything that happened before and after he became the crown prince and before and after he ascended the throne.
Therefore, he knew how much trouble Yanda had caused himself by saying such things! He was also regarded as a thorn in the flesh by so many people! If you want to get rid of it, hurry up!
Now, Zhao Xu came to his loyal Palace of Funing three days in advance.
Countless dangers, countless hidden mines, and countless sources of turbulence in the Yuanyou period in the future were eliminated in advance.
Yanda is no longer a thorn in the side of Yuanyou and his ministers.
His fate may have changed. He may not have to die suddenly at the age of fifty-nine, the most golden age for a general.
However, this is the reason why Zhao Xu works hard. This is also the reason why Zhao Xu had to compromise and perform in front of Empress Dowager Gao.
Zhao Xu took a deep look in Yanda's direction, and then he was hugged by Queen Xiang and walked down the steps to chase her.
The ministers, with their heads lowered and holding jade nectar, followed closely behind him.
The main entrance of Funing Hall has been opened.
His deep palace was open to Zhao Xu.
The highest authority in the Song Dynasty also opened its arms to Zhao Xu.
A minister walked out of the door.
Zhao Xu looked at it and knew that it was Shi Deyi!
This most loyal minister of his father's emperor was also one of the "Four Evils" who was attacked by the old party during Yuanyou's death.
He held a clean whip and walked to the imperial steps of Funing Hall.
With a gentle wave of his hands, the net whip tears the air and makes a crisp sound!
"The queen, prince, and ministers are here to attend the ceremony!"
Behind the screen in the East Pavilion of Funing Hall, Cai Bian, the living minister and Zhongshusheren who received the decree from Empress Dowager Gao, began to write on the imperial album of the Emperor's Records:
In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, on February 26, Geng Yin, the Prime Minister went to the Empress Dowager to visit the Prince Qingning Palace and respectfully asked the Prince to move to the palace. The Empress Dowager kindly replied: Yes!
At the hour of the hour, the prime minister went to the Qingning Palace to see the queen and the prince. The ministers came to see him and praised the prince as a handsome man who was worthy of the country. The queen thanked the ministers and said: My son will still need the protection of all the ministers and ministers in the future.
All the ministers congratulated him and said: The prince is personally raised and protected by Her Royal Highness the Queen. This is truly the blessing of our ancestors and the blessing of the world!
So the queen, together with the emperor's six sons and the prince of Yan'an County, supported the prime minister, entered the main hall of Funing Palace, and went up to the imperial court.
At the same time, the prince moved to Funing Hall, which was welcomed by both Chinese and foreigners, and was praised by both the government and the public.
Putting down the pen and ink, Cai Bian lowered his head and checked the text. After confirming that it was correct, he put the text aside, ordered someone to copy it, and then sent it to the empress dowager, empress, and ministers for confirmation.
And in front of him, in the hall in front of the screen.
The prince, who was being held by the queen, had already walked in.
The curtains swayed, and the palace officials, ministers, and imperial doctors all stood up and saluted the queen and prince who were walking towards the emperor's royal couch behind the curtain.
Behind the curtain, Queen Mother Gao had already changed into the Queen Mother's official uniform.
The Queen's uniform has also been prepared.
Just wait for the queen to enter, and then change in the forbidden apse.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager had ordered people to summon six ministers to the Funing Palace to await orders.
Zeng Xiaokuan, the Minister of Personnel, Han Zhongyan, the Minister of Rites, Wang Cun, the Minister of Hubu, Deng Runfu, a Hanlin scholar, and Zeng Bu, a Hanlin scholar, were all waiting in the cloister outside Funing Hall.
In addition, the prince of Gaomi County, the Jiedu Envoy of Anhua Army, Zhao Zongsheng, the Dazong Zhengzong, the Observer Envoy of Xiangzhou, the Zongzhi Dazong Zhengzong Zhao Zongjing, and the Sipu King Zhao Zonghui were also summoned by the Empress Dowager to witness.
