No matter what Zhao Xu's state of mind is at the moment, or whether he is willing or not.
All in all, the ministers on the left and right quickly stepped forward and helped Zhao Xu up.
Let him stand in front of his father's bedside.
Someone came to him, wiped away his tears, straightened his clothes, and arranged the accessories around his waist.
Then, the ministers held their hands and walked three steps in front of him.
Wang Gui, the left prime minister, lowered his head, while Cai Que, the right prime minister, raised his eyes slightly, while Han Zhen, the minister of the Privy Council, seemed a little absent-minded.
The two prime ministers and the governor of the Western Government, in accordance with the requirements of etiquette and law, led the ministers to worship with fennel in their hands, fell to the ground and stood up, worshiped again, rose again, worshiped again, and rose again.
After the three bows, the ministers held their hands and chanted: "I am waiting to ask if His Majesty the Crown Prince is well and well!"
The courtesy of the king and his ministers is over!
The superior and the inferior are determined!
Behind the curtain, Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang looked at each other, then each lowered their head and shed tears.
Especially Empress Dowager Gao, she knew that from now on, even if her emperor's son was still alive.
But in the eyes of the officials and the scholar-bureaucrats in the world.
But there is no difference from death!
Just like the late emperor in the fourth year of Zhiping, just like Renmiao in his later years.
Emperor!
The emperor is the one who can oversee matters in the imperial palace, handle state affairs, and decide between life and death!
The emperor, who was lying on the sickbed, unable to speak or move, was still just a patient even if he could still write and command.
What's more, the emperor can't even write now.
Moreover, he had a stroke!
In the eyes of the ministers and the scholar-bureaucrats, the emperor who suffered a stroke must have lost his normal judgment and decision-making ability.
At this time, the monarchy had actually been transferred from the emperor himself to the group of scholar-bureaucrats.
These days, the three provinces and two governments have gathered together to make decisions on state and government affairs, which is proof!
Zhao Xu shed tears and sobbed as he "extremely reluctantly" accepted the worship of the ministers.
Then, he looked at the ministers standing in front of him holding fluorene.
Most of the people, Zhao Xu had forgotten what they looked like.
But there are still one or two whom Zhao Xu recognizes and is very familiar with.
As soon as his eyes swept over them, Zhao Xu turned around and looked at his father.
With tears in his eyes, he knelt before his father again.
The character of a filial son must never be lost.
The image of pure filial piety and courtesy must not have the slightest flaw.
Father doesn't have much time left!
Zhao Xu knew and remembered clearly that in his previous life, after that fateful day, his father was dying.
Finally, he died in the Funing Hall in the pain of a stroke.
In the last days of his life, no one knows, what was he thinking? What kind of reluctance and regret does he have?
Now, Zhao Xu is a boy again.
No matter what, Zhao Xu wanted to make his father decent, peaceful and peaceful in the last few days of his life.
He would not let those bullshit things happen again in front of his father.
I will never let anyone disturb my father's final peace again.
"Since my father took the medicine, my son has not been able to serve the soup and medicine in front of the emperor. This is unfilial on my part!" Zhao Xu said quietly.
"From today onwards, I will be begging for soup and medicine!"
After saying that, Zhao Xu bowed deeply.
Zhao Xu, who was sitting on the imperial couch, listened to his son's words, and a tear welled up from his sunken eye sockets.
Behind the curtain, Empress Dowager Gao listened to Zhao Xu's words and sighed with tears: "What a good boy!"
"Ancestors bless you!"
If the prince is so filial, he will definitely be filial to her as his mother-in-law in the future, and he will definitely obey his mother-in-law's teachings!
Empress Dowager Gao remembered that when she gave the child the scriptures and meanings, the child immediately read and understood them seriously, and even asked her for advice.
Great comfort to the old man!
Empress Xiang also shed tears and echoed, "What the empress said is true!"
"This child is filial, courteous, smart and eager to learn. He is really blessed by his ancestors, blessed by his ancestors!"
Xiang Huang recalled how mother and son got along these days.
The softness in my heart was aroused.
If you have a son like this, what else can you ask for?
Both Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang forgot or deliberately ignored an important thing at this time: the prince had been established, but he was still young, and the emperor was ill and could not take charge of the government.
So who will deal with major military and national affairs?
But since ancient times, the queen mother and queen in the harem have been unable to interfere with this kind of thing.
We can only let the foreign ministers propose and advocate.
But at this moment, the ministers outside the curtain had their own thoughts.
Needless to say, Wang Gui.
He knew in his heart that when the crown prince's throne was secured, the crows at Yushitai would not let him go!
In the capital hall, although he only said one sentence: This is his family's family affairs, and the outer court should not care about it!
Although he later added: Officials have their own sons!
However, for the crows at Yushitai, loyalty is either absolute or absolutely disloyal!
Now that the crown prince has been newly appointed, it is a great time for the crows to express their loyalty!
Usually, the crows have no fashion and can make three waves.
Now, Wang Gui has exposed his flaws.
Not surrounding him and beating him to death would only mean that the crows were not good at learning and were not as good as their predecessors Jiayou, Zhiping, and Xining.
If you spread the word, people will laugh to death!
What's more, Wang Gui has another huge stupid thing!
Once that matter is revealed, Wang Gui and even the entire Wang family will be dragged into it.
It is unfaithful and unfilial to talk about the foundation of the country and spy on the artifact! The scholar-bureaucrats in the world will expel him as a scholar-official!
If he can be like Ding Wei and die of old age in the state, Wang Gui is considered to be very lucky.
Otherwise, Cao Lili's fate will be his fate!
Therefore, Wang Gui is now full of thoughts on how to avoid disaster, how to eliminate disaster, and how to get out of this matter.
Are you still in the mood to care about other things?
Where is Cai Que?
Of course, he had his thoughts on it.
What do you think?
Who will be the left prime minister?
Anyway, he, Cai Que and Cai Zhizheng, are absolutely unwilling to follow tradition to replace the left prime minister.
The current left prime minister is just a stamp!
In addition to being dispatched by officials, even the left prime minister can only "foresee" and need to participate under the guise of a meeting.
But how many of the halls that really require the three provinces to gather together can be eliminated in a year?
Therefore, Cai Que is now busy scheming to trick someone into taking the position of left prime minister?
Should we choose from among the ministers in the court, or among the important ministers and elders of the prefectures and counties?
What a problem!
As for the remaining ministers?
Naturally, each has its own calculations and thoughts.
For example, knowing that Han Zhen, the minister of the Privy Council, is just trying to be a monk and clockwork.
Han Zhen knew very well that with the confirmation of the crown prince, the Song Dynasty entered a new era.
If he doesn't act smart, take the initiative and invite himself out.
Then, those things under his butt will definitely be uncovered and exposed in the sun, and used to open the eyes of the world.
And what he did in the court, can he show it to others?
cannot!
Apart from other things, at the beginning, Xining ceded territory and gave up the five hundred miles of Dongguan to Khitan.
It's not just the old party that is scolding, the new party is also scolding. Wang Jiefu of Jiangning has always been worried about this matter and feels it is a shame in his life!
In the past, with officials covering up for him, this matter could still be concealed.
Now, the official family is seeing that the palace car is about to be driven away.
If he, Han Zhen, were not smarter, he would take the initiative to invite the county.
The crows on the Yushitai will definitely pounce on him and bite him.
There is no need to look for excuses or reasons: the land of our ancestors is king's land in all its dimensions! Han Zhen actually abandoned him to Beilu? Man and God are outraged!
"It's better to go back, it's better to go back!" Han Zhen said in his heart. Anyway, he is not the only important minister in the Han family!
Nai brothers, Han Jiang and Han Wei, are both famous men in the world, and they can be considered elders of the Prime Minister!
The chiefs of the two governments each have their own plans.
The remaining people naturally did not dare and would not take the lead in making suggestions.
Things just froze.
Until, Empress Dowager Gao ordered people to pass the imperial edict of Deng Runfu, a Hanlin scholar, and Zeng Bu, a Hanlin scholar, to the palace.
Things finally changed.
