Chapter 195 Great Change

As soon as the sky was dawn, Xu Ping got up and left the door, breathing fresh air in the yard, and exerting his muscles and bones.

In the past, I developed a habit when I went to court every day, and I couldn’t sleep even if I wanted to sleep in. In this world, Xu Ping’s living habits were much healthier than in his previous life, such as going to bed early and getting up early, and eating regularly.

Suddenly, there was a "thump" sound of running outside. Before Xu Ping could react, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open.

Liu Xiaoyi swept to Xu Ping like a wind, and before he could salute, he whispered loudly: "Monkey King, Shi Pavilion Chief, were in the living room, saying that something big happened in the palace, and you want you to go right away!"

Xu Ping was shocked. After returning to Beijing for a year, he had not met Shi Quanbin so urgently.

He hurried back to the room to get the public uniform, ran while hanging on his body, and went to the living room with Liu Xiaoyi.

In the living room, Shi Quanbin kept paced back and forth, with a heavy expression. When he saw Xu Ping coming in, he went forward without any noise and said in a deep voice: "The dragon body is not prepared, wait for the above ministers to enter the palace immediately!"

After hearing this, Xu Ping stayed there and couldn't believe his ears at all. Zhao Zhen was the same age as him, and he was in his prime. What would happen so serious? He stopped going to court in the morning and directly asked the ministers who were above the system to go to the palace. Is this the rhythm of explaining the funeral?

If it weren't for the knowledge of the previous life that Zhao Zhen, the Song Renzong in history, had told me that many years ago, and he had not found any inconsistent with history, Xu Ping wouldn't know what he would think.

Shi Quanbin didn't care about Xu Ping's expression at all, but said in a deep voice again: "Enter the palace immediately!"

Xu Ping forced himself to calm down, and while letting Liu Xiaoyi prepare for horses, he was busy wearing public uniforms.

After turning on the horse, Xu Ping asked Liu Xiaoyi to call the servants in the gatekeeper to follow him and follow him into the city and go to the Great Inner Palace.

It was already August, and I didn’t feel it during the day, but the wind in the morning was obviously cool, and it hit my face, making Xu Ping wake up all of a sudden.

After entering Xinzheng Gate, the speed slowed down a little. Xu Ping and Shi Quanbin stood side by side and asked him in a low voice: "Peace Chief, what's going on? Why did the emperor suddenly get sick? Is it very serious?"

Shi Quanbin looked behind him and lowered his voice to Xu Ping, "When the official was packing up his morning court today, he suddenly fainted and could not speak. Yesterday was still fine, without any signs. Now the palace is in chaos. Empress Dowager Yang took the lead and ordered the priest to enter the palace to respond. Other ministers above the government in Beijing were waiting in the palace. However, according to what I saw, the official should not have arrived... The county marquis is careful in everything!"

Xu Ping nodded and stopped talking.

Since Taizu's time, all emperors have been plagued by illness, and the family named Zhao has not been in good health as emperor. Whether it is the sound of candle shadows or axes or sudden sudden illness, it is certain that Taizu's health was not good when he died. Taizong was injured in the Northern Expedition Khitan, which relapsed year by year, tortured him for half his life. His suspicious and suspicious nature is probably related to the injuries on his body. Zhenzong suffered many strokes in his later years, but in fact he died in his later years, he was only fifty-five years old. Now, it's Zhao Zhen's turn, and this disease came earlier than the previous emperors.

The cool breeze blew on his face, and Xu Ping's mind gradually became clear and he began to analyze it carefully.

The first thing Xu Ping thought of Zhao Zhen’s disease was that their family had a history of genetic diseases such as hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, etc., which would cause illness if they were accidentally. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the four emperors, except for Emperor Taizong of Song, were slightly thinner due to their years of illness, one of the common characteristics of the other three was that they were obese. Even Emperor Taizu of Song was also known for his obesity.

What is the most common disease that fat people suffer from? Of course it is hypertension. Unfortunately, I don’t have this awareness in this era and don’t pay attention to life, which is getting worse and worse.

These emperors of the Zhao family are also very interesting. Those who can control themselves in political affairs and stay awake often do not know how to control themselves in life and are prone to indulge themselves. Moreover, because they give in to court officials in political affairs, they are very persistent in private life, and even to the point of being willful, and they will not listen to any advice from the ministers in private affairs. On the contrary, those who make random mistakes and pay great attention to health preservation can often live long.

Zhao Zhen still inherited this problem. He paid great attention to the professional ethics of being an emperor, maintained restraint in political affairs, and respected the rights and status of the ministers led by the prime minister. But on the other hand, no matter what others say in private life, he will do his own thing. The ministers advised him to take care of his health, but he just pretended that he didn't hear it, and occasionally he would get a little tantrum.

In the past, Empress Dowager Liu was in charge. After Empress Dowager Liu went there, Empress Dowager Yang was weak-hearted and spoiled him since he was a child. Now he can't control him anymore. Zhao Zhen was greedy and liked big fish and meat. Fortunately, he didn't control himself at all. According to Xu Ping's previous life, his eating habits were high in fat, high cholesterol, high purine, and he was so fat, so it would be strange if there was no problem.

Moreover, since the deposed Empress Guo last year, no one in the palace has stopped Zhao Zhen. He is like a happy horse and does not know how to control women. Because he loves Mei Ren and Mei Ren, he is always together every day, and he has been told by the censor many times in the chapter, but he doesn't listen at all. This time, something happened.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping sighed secretly in his heart. His body is the capital. Don’t treat yourself badly.

After touching his strangely swollen face, Xu Ping thought that in order to get rid of the disease, he suffered no amount of pain. On the one hand, Zhao Zhen saw that the ministers did not produce charcoal in winter and did not fan in summer. He was thirsty in the palace at night because he thought about the people around him, and was afraid that they would be blamed, so he forced himself to go back before drinking water. On the other hand, he didn't taste enough and wanted to get drunk when he drank, and when he saw a beautiful woman, he felt tired of it.

Is it contradictory? In fact, it is not contradictory. It is precisely because he is restrained when he needs to restrain himself, and when he can indulge himself, he is particularly indulgent when he can indulge himself. He takes it for granted and does not listen to anyone.

Say I'm going to waste public funds when I eat some good food? Okay, I eat mutton. Even in Kaifeng City, mutton is just the same price as pork. Most of the time, it's not as expensive as pork. Apart from beef that cannot be eaten, this is the cheapest meat. Zhao Zhen's favorite dish is to cook the mutton so that he won't get tired of eating it. He also likes to eat seafood. He heard that a clam costs tens of thousands, so he can't help himself. He can't help but hide and eat it secretly, so he dare not let anyone see it. But whoever dares not let him eat mutton will be anxious and will not let others eat it.

Who can do it with him? The only way to do it is Empress Dowager Yang who is not ruthless and often secretly gives him delicious food.

People always play many roles in this world. Some characters are dazzling, while others can only sigh. They are all ordinary people. Who can choose roles and play each one well?

As soon as I arrived at Donghua Gate, I clearly felt a nervous breath. Although there was no additional guard, everyone standing there was obviously nervousness, and the access control, which was not usually too strict, suddenly became tight.

After completing various procedures, Xu Ping asked Liu Xiaoyi to take his family outside the door and entered the imperial city with Shi Quanbin.

Outside the Chuigong Hall, two rare envoys of the door were on duty at the same time. Li Zhang even pressed his waist knife and led his people to guard the door.

Because of the edict to summon ministers, the tedious procedures of the daily life were exempted and there was no need to receive the receipt from the Political Affairs Hall. Shi Quanbin and Xu Ping entered the Hemen Gate together and walked towards the depths of the inner room.

After passing by Li Zhang and looking at him, Li Zhang nodded gently to Xu Ping to show that the matter was not to the point where it could not be handled. Zhao Zhen was just sick this time. Although it was serious, it was not life-threatening.

Along the corridor, he walked around the Chuigong Hall and arrived at the Funing Hall of Zhao Zhen. At this time, there were many ministers living close to the other side who were waiting for the system. Xu Ping's family was outside the city and was one of the last few people to come.

Shi Quanbin signaled to Xu Ping that he would go to the front and return to Yan Wen, who was in charge of various affairs.

During the extraordinary period, all the ministers present had serious faces and no one whispered. Although they met many acquaintances, Xu Ping did not go forward to say hello, but silently chose a corner to stand there.

In this case, any unnecessary action will arouse other people's associations. The most appropriate way is to wait silently. The chief minister who is actually in charge of major events, and Xu Ping and others are just waiting here for orders.

The fish belly was exposed in the sky, and the dew came from somewhere, and its robe was wet without realizing it. It was quiet in front of the Funing Palace, without any sound, and the whole world was silent.

Xu Ping for no reason remembered the various stories that spread after the death of Zhenzong. On that day, perhaps the ministers could only stand outside the hall like today, silently waiting for the news and listening to the handling of the waiters.

Suddenly, a bell rang from a distance, causing a trance. I don’t know whether it was the bell from Xuande Gate or some etiquette in the hall. After standing here for a long time, everyone was a little numb.

Not long after, Director Zan's voice came, and Xu Ping vaguely heard that it was the eldest princess of Wei State who arrived.

This is another person left in Zhao Zhen's father's generation, except for the Eight Great Kings Zhao Yuanyan, and his status is unusual. Li Zunxu, a subordinate horse, went out to Xuzhou and served as the pacification envoy of Jingxi Road. The eldest princess did not follow him to take office.

The eldest princess arrived in front of the hall and greeted the ministers, because there was no praise and the voices were uneven.

Xu Ping also shouted: "Welcome to the Lord!"

But there was no response and watching the eldest princess enter the Funing Hall. After a vague hearing Lu Yijian's angry shout from the hall, it disappeared silently after that.

Xu Ping could imagine that it must be Lu Yijian who asked why the eldest princess rashly entered the palace. The emperor could not manage the government. At this time, the priest was the master. Yan Wenying, who was usually majestic, was trembling, fearing that any priest would not like him.

Of course, there was still Empress Dowager Yang in the palace at this time. With the eldest princess' always docile temperament, she would not have made any decisions to enter the emperor's bedroom without the empress dowager's instructions. (To be continued.)
