Chapter 35: Zhao Ji's Advice
Tong Guan wandered back and forth, feeling warm in his heart, but was full of vigilance.
"No, I can't eat this matter alone, so I must find a suitable ally." Tong Guan stopped, and a light flashed in his eyes.
Liang Shicheng returned to the bedroom and prepared to record His Majesty's will.
Liang Shicheng recorded the truth, and listened to what His Majesty said in his ears, the expression on his face became more and more shocked.
The identity of the prince appointed by His Majesty exceeded everyone's expectations, but it seemed reasonable.
He is actually the eldest prince who has never been incompatible with His Majesty.
Liang Shicheng thought a lot, and his head buzzed. This should be a huge earthquake.
In fact, the relationship between Liang Shicheng and the eldest prince can only be said to be average. He dared not offend the eldest prince, but he was not too close to him.
The eldest prince and His Majesty have never been incompatible, and everyone knows it.
Therefore, the eldest prince has not many confidants, and his relationship with ministers in the court is also average.
The ministers in the court did not dare to get close to the eldest prince for fear of offending His Majesty, so why did His Majesty choose him?
Could it be... Your Majesty has long thought of today?
Liang Shicheng suddenly shuddered.
"Shoudao, you didn't tell anyone about my will, did you?" Zhao Ji, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at Liang Shicheng.
At this moment, there were thousands of thoughts in Liang Shicheng's mind.
To be honest, continue to hide it? Did Your Majesty know? Or was he testing me?
"Your Majesty, the villain knows his mistake." Liang Shicheng knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Zhao Ji closed his eyes again at some point, but his voice became cold: "I treat you well, I have never given you a lot, but you are still not satisfied...
You still have to reach out to get the things that shouldn't be yours. How can you trust me and how dare you keep you?"
"Please give the villain a chance." Liang Shicheng knelt on the ground.
Zhao Ji leaned over and lay on the dragon bed and said to Liang Shicheng: "Stretch your head over."
Liang Shicheng's body was trembling, but he still knelt on the ground and moved forward for two steps. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and stretched forward.
Zhao Ji raised his hand and grabbed the sword beside the dragon bed. The back of his old hand was full of protruding purple-black veins.
Holding the hilt of the sword with force, taking two heavy breaths, then pulling out the sword and slashing it at Liang Shicheng's neck!
A sword penetrated into the back, and the sword that was aimed at the neck was slashed. Liang Shicheng groaned and fell to the ground.
Zhao Ji roared angrily and burst into tears: "Why do you have to think about things that shouldn't be moved?"
A large amount of blood came out of Liang Shicheng's shoulders and neck, which stained the sheep blanket under him.
His hands were tightly clutching the blanket on the ground. Even if life was passing quickly, he was not ready to resist. Even the automatic internal force was suppressed by him.
"Go to recover from the wound. After you recover, you will go and listen to Huan'er's orders. Do whatever he asks you to do... For the sake of your loyalty over the years, I will give you another chance." Zhao Ji threw away the sword in his hand, then lay on the bed again and stopped moving. The last explosion just now had exhausted his remaining strength.
"Thank you... Thank you." Liang Shicheng lay on the ground, no one could see his face clearly
The next day, in the New Song Dynasty, all officials came to pay tribute.
In the court, Liang Shicheng held an edict in his hand and announced the establishment of the crown prince on behalf of the emperor.
The emperor appointed the eldest prince Zhao Huan as the crown prince, and from now on, he had the rule of governing the country. He also served as the commander of the Infantry Division of the Guards' Personal Army, and congratulated the prince for the new establishment and was particularly amnesty for the whole world.
The ministers in the court were dizzy when they were hit by the news.
There was no news beforehand, and suddenly such a thunder appeared.
However, many ministers in the court were mentally prepared for a long time. His Majesty was in a bad condition. In this case, in order to avoid brotherly conflicts as much as possible, the position of the crown prince was established as soon as possible when he was still in power, but what they did not expect was that this position was for the eldest prince who had always been unpopular.
This is what really makes them unacceptable.
We are all not familiar with the eldest prince.
Zhao Huan, who had been staying in the mansion and had not participated in the government affairs, received the news as soon as possible after the court meeting, and also personally received Liang Shicheng, who came to submit the edict.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, he wants to see you." Liang Shicheng said respectfully.
If nothing unexpected happens, the person in front of him will be the most powerful person in the New Song Dynasty in the future. After his father dies.
Zhao Huan took the imperial edict and stared blankly at the words on the imperial edict. Finally, his eyes were frozen on the bright red official seal.
To be honest, even he himself did not expect that he would be the crown prince.
Since his mother died at the age of eight, his father has been neglecting him and favoring other concubines. He began to find ways to do something to attract his father's attention, even if his father just came to his palace a few more times.
But the father did not come, but sent the eunuch beside him to convey a scolding lightly and then ignored it. He seemed to have become a cloud of air in the palace.
Why? He is the eldest son!
He also became increasingly disgusted with the man sitting on the dragon throne.
He insisted on opposing what the man wanted to do, and he refused to do what he wanted to do. He was happy to see him angry and angry.
He made the man start to hate him, and he succeeded in doing it, and his heart was filled with joy.
But at the last moment, the man handed over the throne to him.
Why?
Do you want me to give in this way?
Zhao Huan looked at Liang Shicheng gloomyly and tore the imperial edict to pieces, "I won't go."
Liang Shicheng is going crazy, what have you done, little ancestor?
Are you all so willful in the Zhao family?
You just tore up the things that others beat and beat up, and you want to fight for. My God, if your other brothers know, I'm afraid they will all go to your father to study your book.
This is also your only amulet. Without this amulet, I don’t know how many people want you to die.
Liang Shicheng suddenly took action and slapped the two eunuchs accompanying him to death with both palms.
After confirming that there were no other witnesses, they carefully collected the imperial edicts on the ground.
"Crown Prince, I know you have conflicts with your father, but your father's physical condition is getting worse and worse. If you don't go this time, you may never see him again. If you have anything else to say to him, this is the last chance." Liang Shicheng said.
Zhao Huan, who moved out of the palace after he became an adult, did not know his father's physical condition. Zhao Ji's physical condition was the most severe secret in the palace. Even he only knew that his father was sick. As usual, he could go to court again after resting for ten days.
"He is almost out of reach?" Zhao Huan was stunned.
"If Your Majesty has no you in his heart, why would he hand over the position of crown prince to you?" Liang Shicheng could only be as slutty as possible. He himself didn't know why Your Majesty wanted to choose the eldest prince.
Zhao Huan felt mixed feelings in his heart, and after a long time he said, "Let's go."
He and Liang Shicheng came to the palace to look at his father, who looked like gold paper.
But the mood is extremely complicated.
Liang Shicheng put it in Zhao Ji's ear and whispered to Your Majesty that the eldest prince destroyed the edict.
Zhao Ji waved his hand and asked Liang Shicheng to withdraw, just an edict.
He has as many pictures as he wants to write.
Now he doesn't have the energy to care about such trivial matters.
Liang Shicheng withdrew from the bedroom and closed the door and waved all the maids and guards. Only Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were left in the huge bedroom.
"I'm going to go down to see your mother." Zhao Ji said. "This country is left to you. If you can use it, you can be a confidant. Cai Jing will not rebel, and at most it will become a powerful minister. After you take office, you can use Gao Qiu and Tong Guan to check and balance him.
Li Gang, a daily man, has great talent. If you take office, you will be grateful.
The brothers of the Zong family can guard the border. If one day Cai Jing is in great power, you can summon Zong Shidao to return to Beijing. They are really loyal to the ministers of the Song Dynasty. The bandits in various places are just tinea scabies. Aristocratic families and gentry are the biggest disasters. You can use them, but you cannot abuse them. After you ascend the throne, you can just let the prefects of the states vigorously suppress the bandits. I am amnesty in your name. There should be no problems in the short term. Remember, military officers are just a group of dogs. If you give them bones, they will work hard for you, but you can't give too many bones, otherwise it will be easy to eat the master."
Zhao Huan was in front of the bed, looking at the man talking on his own with complicated eyes.
"Is there a way to cure your condition? What about the Taoist priests you favor? Isn't there a Lin Lingsu named Mr. Yuan Miao? Let him practice elixirs for you!" Zhao Huan looked at him lying on the hospital bed and couldn't help blurting out.
Zhao Ji stopped, as if he was surprised to hear this sentence from Zhao Huan.
"My destiny has arrived." Zhao Ji showed his eyes. "Don't be sad for me, these are fates. If the fate is with me, I will be the same day. Everything will be different for another century of national destiny."
"So you threw a mess for me. What should I do to control the court? You might as well give it to your third brother." Zhao Huan mocked.
Zhao Ji said, "Although your third brother is smart, he lacks his own opinions. If he ascended the throne, he will easily be used by Cai Jing and others."
"Remember what I said just now." Zhao Ji said slowly. "I am tired, please step back. I will ask Shoudao to give you another edict later. This time you must keep it well and you must not lose it."
