Chapter 76: The storm is rising and the clouds are rising [In the middle]

After a long time, Song Renzong nodded and said, "Okay! You are also staying in the palace, but you don't have to bring people here. Brother, there are still some people around me who are available!"

Zhao Qian did not persuade him, and nodded wisely and said, "Okay! I'll go back and prepare first, and I'll enter the palace tonight!"

After thinking about it, Song Renzong shook his head and said, "No need to be so early, let's go tomorrow! Come early tomorrow morning!"

Zhao Jin nodded in agreement, changed the heavy topic just now, and said something interesting to Emperor Renzong of Song.

It hasn't been long since before, Yang Shufei sent someone to find Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian originally thought what was going on, but she didn't expect that it was Yang Shufei who reminded Zhao Qian not to have some thoughts that should not have at this time. Zhao Qian smiled bitterly, let alone being made of human heart, Song Renzong was so nice to him. He took a step back and said rationally that he had to have the ability to usurp the throne!

There were four hundred imperial guards and entourages on hand, but those imperial guards were all newly transferred. Zhao Qian had no idea before and did not win over them. How could they risk implicating the three tribes for Zhao Qian? As for those entourages, there were only about ten or twenty people willing to die for Zhao Qian in this matter. If such a few people wanted to usurp the throne, it would be too simple to think of the position of emperor of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Qian must not swear to the heavens that he did not have this mind.

After talking to Concubine Yang Shu for a while, he didn't expect it to be dusk when he left the palace. In other words, Song Renzong remembered Zhao Chen and sent his confidant eunuch Yan Wenying to lead the way with his warrant, which allowed Zhao Wen to leave the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the palace, a mute servant came and bowed and pointed to the wing room on the south side.

Zhao Qian knew what he meant. It was where Zhao Qian arranged for Zhang Yuan and Hu Hao to live and study. This mute servant was not Zhao Qian, but that was the case. Zhao Qian bought it when he saw him pitiful. Given the special nature of Zhang Yuan and Hu Hao, he arranged for them to be servants to contact him.

He did not rush to see them. Zhao Qian first washed it and then arrived at the east wing.

As soon as he entered the east wing, he heard the sound of chanting scriptures vaguely. Walking through the path, he saw the wing with lights on. Zhao Bi walked over and shouted, "Zi Shi, Uncle Zhan, be diligent! Jin Ke must have your name!"

With a squeak, the door opened, revealing Zhang Yuan wearing a thick blue dress.

"I've seen the prince!" Zhang Yuan clasped his fists at Zhao Chen and said bitterly: "What are you talking about today's exams? Now the empress dowager is seriously ill, and I'm afraid this imperial examination will not be completed!"

Zhao Qin remembered this incident when he heard this. The imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty were very casual. It was just beginning every two years, but it was only once every three years since Song Renzong. But it was not fixed. If there was any accident, the imperial examinations would not be held. For example, in spring, there was a major disaster that caused a sensation across the country. Who is still interested in managing the imperial examinations? The imperial examinations will naturally be suspended.

And now it is almost the same. Liu E's life and death alone is related to the political situation of the Song Dynasty. Will Song Renzong and the prime ministers still have the intention to pay attention to this? This imperial examination was suspended, and this decree was probably coming down within a few days.

Zhao Qian also understood Zhang Yuan's mood. Once in several years, he was the opportunity to leap at the dragon gate, but he didn't want to turn into a mirror and water moon. However, he is also plagued by miscellaneous things now and has no intention to comfort Zhang Yuan. He walked over and patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, which was considered comfort.

After crossing the threshold, he saw Hu Hao walking out of the inside. Hu Hao was obviously very busy during this period, with a pile of stubborn chin, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his eyes were visible dark circles on his face. "Students have seen the prince!"

"Uncle Zhan doesn't have to be too polite. Just now, the mute servant came here. Is it yours that matter to find me?" Zhao Qian asked.

Hu Hao's voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "It's a student!"

Zhang Yuan seemed to be addicted to the cruel fact that the imperial examination was cancelled, and did not have the heart to pay attention to Hu Hao and Zhao Jin, and sat aside and remained silent.

Zhao Qian said in surprise: "Uncle Zhan, you are looking for me, but are you inspired to deal with the matter of the Eighth King?"

Hu Hao nodded and said, "That's right, just..."

"It's just what? You can tell me in detail!" Zhao Qian asked impatiently.

Hu Hao said a little embarrassedly: "The students' plans are probably worse than the prince expected. After these days of consideration and the recent changes in the current situation, the student believes that the prince should agree to the Eighth Prince's request for alliance!"

Zhao Qian said in surprise: "How can this be possible? So many royal families are officials, I am afraid that I will be hated by all the scholars and officials!"

Hu Hao said: "The students said this entirely for the sake of the prince. Now the empress dowager is heavily in the army. Although she doesn't know her condition, the students think that the empress dowager may not be able to survive this level! After all, she is at this age!"

After hesitating, Zhao Feng decided to tell the latest news he had obtained. "I just entered the palace... I met the official family and asked about the Queen Mother's condition. The official family said that the Queen Mother was already terminally ill this time and the medicine could not be cured!"

Hu Hao nodded slowly and said, "That's it. Once the empress dowager dies, the world will be shaken. The officials who stayed in the court, such as Prime Minister Lu Yijian, Privy Councilor Zhang Qi, Privy Councilor Xia Shu, etc., will definitely be demoted. In this way, the emperor party, which must have expressed support to the officials, will it rise. In the past, the prince can still benefit from it. Once the prince wants to be an official, will the prince think the emperor party will be willing?"

Zhao Qi's face changed drastically. For the first time, he was glad that he had found these two aides, otherwise he would have been hit hard in the court.

Hu Hao continued: "When the Empress Dowager dies, the official family will be in a mess and will naturally trust their relatives. This is the best opportunity for the prince and the royal family to break the shackles. The Eighth Prince will share the pressure for you, and you will be expected to have great things!"

Zhang Yuan, who had been silent all the time and was almost suspected of being hit by Zhao Qian's death for the imperial examination, interrupted at this time: "Prince, there is another thing besides this, the prince must even deal with it!"

"What?" Zhao Jin asked in surprise when he looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Once the prince breaks the shackles, he needs to leave Bianliang immediately! In the past, Chong'er was peaceful outside and Shen Sheng died inside. All because he stayed away from the vortex! The prince now seems strong but is actually weak, and everything depends on the holy relatives of the official family. Once he falls into the vortex, he has to ask for the official family, and even what he asks for is disliked by the official family. The holy relatives are invisible, but they should be less at once, and they should not be used in this useless place!" Zhang Yuan said slowly, very calm.

Zhao Qian agreed deeply and immediately bowed to the two: "Thank you, both gentlemen for your advice!"
