Chapter 1339: Life Retreat (8,000 Words)(2/4)
The call for Lu Gongzhu to replace Cai Que as the leader of all officials is getting higher and higher.
But whether it is Lu Gongzhu, who has a mild political opinion or Sima Guang, who insists on abolishing all new laws, once one of the two has this great name, he can not only rush Cai Que to step down, but also compete for the second chapter of Empress Dowager Gao Taotao.
Sima Guang agreed, he had no intention of holding the position.
For him, he wrote books and studies throughout his life, was loyal to the emperor and the country, which was the most important thing in his life.
Cai Que ignored Han Zhen and Sima Guang and walked out of the hall to ask the eunuch Yan Shouying.
"Did the Empress Dowager announce King Yong and King Cao?"
“It has been announced.”
Cai Que nodded and returned to the hall.
The priests outside the hall arrived one after another.
The left servant Cai Que, the right servant Lu Gong, and the Privy Councilor Zhang Dun.
Sima Guang, the minister of the disciple, Zhang Zhi, the minister of the minister of the Central Committee, Li Qingchen, and Zhang Yu.
The Deputy Envoys of the Privy Council, Su Song and Han Zhen, all stood outside the tent, waiting for the emperor to summon him.
Su Song couldn't help but discuss with Zhang Zhi: "Why is Jian Gong not proclaiming?"
Zhang Zhi said: "I dare not ask."
Su Song said: "Inquiry about the Prime Minister!"
Zhang Zhi and Su Song stepped forward to Cai Que, and Duke Lu said, "Your Majesty had a fate before, why didn't you announce Duke Jianguo?"
Cai Que said: "There is the order of the Queen Mother."
"After a while, King Yong and King Cao will arrive, the matter will be late." Zhang Zhi said again.
Su Song said: "If there is anything in the Golden Chamber, I will regret it."
Cai Que nodded and said, "What do you think of Mr. Lu?"
Mr. Lu said, "Today's affairs are not only about our lives, our families, our lives, but also about the safety of each family. I think it should be summoned!"
Cai Que and Lu Gongzhu walked by together. Lu Gongzhu quietly pulled Zhang Maoze and asked, "Your Majesty had ordered Zhang Jiangong to enter the palace, did he summon him?"
Zhang Maoze whispered: "The Empress Dowager only ordered Xuanzhao to enter the palace."
Mr. Lu said, "We all know the matter of what Your Majesty wrote to summon Zhang Yue when he was seriously ill."
"If it is not announced, I am afraid that the world will be suspicious, please report to the Queen Mother."
After hearing Cai Que's side, Zhang Maoze had to go into the curtain to report to Empress Dowager Gao.
Now the imperial physicians are burning wormwood for the official family, while Empress Dowager Gao's eyes are filled with tears. Zhang Maoze reported. Empress Dowager Gao looked at the official family on the sickbed and the prince who was caring about him and said, "It depends on the words of the husbands."
Zhang Maoze lifted the curtain and made his debut: "The Empress Dowager has an order, and Xuanzhang Yuexing entered the palace at night."
...
Zhang Yue cleansed his clothes and followed the palace envoy to step out of the palace gate.
Dozens of imperial troupes outside the mansion stood with halberds, and the iron armor shone brightly under the flames.
Zhang Yue's eyes swept over the sedan chair behind the palace envoy, knowing that this was a specially arranged ritual.
When crossing the Imperial Street, the hoarse sound of a cockerman's buzz came from the night fog. Zhang Yue lifted the curtain and looked at it, but he saw that the gates along the way were closed, and only the direction of the imperial city was brightly lit. The three imperial guards patrolled with torches.
When the sedan chair reached the front of Xuande Building, Zhang Yue suddenly felt the sedan chair pause. He heard the palace envoy outside whisper: "Duke Jian, the Empress Dowager ordered to go to the side hall of Funing Palace to wait for the order."
According to the system, even if the foreign ministers visit each other at night, they should be in the Chuigong Hall, but now they have to take a detour to Funing Hall.
"If you have time, lead the way." Zhang Yue's voice was calm.
When they arrived in front of Funing Hall, dozens of Dutch Eredivisie guarded the steps like an iron tower. The lantern fire suddenly shone and asked, "Who is coming!"
The palace envoy quickly raised the fish talisman: "The Duke Jianguo entered the palace with the order!"
"It's really Jiangong!"
Zhang Yue looked at it, but saw Yan Da, the deputy commander in front of the hall and the governor of Kangwu Army, coming quickly. This veteran who had built Luowu City with Zhong Yan, opened the Xihe River with Wang Shao, and helped Guo Kui to level Jiaozhi, now covered his armor and bowed in front of the steps: "The last general was short of his eyes, but he didn't know that the Jian Gong was here!"
Zhang Yue raised his hand and helped him: "The Grand Marshal of Yan doesn't have to be too polite. Now that the country has something to do, the general and other loyal and brave men need to be in charge of the palace. I have worked hard these days."
Yan Da said: "The last general will always be ordered by the Empress Dowager to stay at the Nei East Gate."
Zhang Yue said: "It's great. There is a general here to prepare for the extraordinary. What if there is a traitor who follows us?"
Yan Da stood up with a knife: "I will repay you with your Majesty's kindness. The dogs are all on duty in front of the hall. If there is any change, my Yan family will be willing to protect you with death!"
Zhang Yue nodded and said, "It's great."
During such a turbulent and changing situations, Yan Da's attitude was crucial. When Zhang Yue experienced the death of Renzong and Yingzong took office, the then palace commander Li Zhang was crucial.
Yan Da is the same now.
The order of the new king of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne, the identity of the crown prince was one, the last emperor had one, and the empress dowager confirmed one, and the following was the confirmation of the prime minister, and the most important thing behind was the confirmation of the three yamen headed by Yan Da.
Zhang Yue said: "Then the Taiwei's eyes will be bright. If some people follow it, their intentions will be unpredictable unless there is no other person who can tell the difference."
Yan Da understood, Zhang Yue meant, you should stop King Yong and King Cao outside the hall and be done.
Yan Da said seriously: "I will pay attention to it. If anyone pretends to be a royal family, he will stop him."
Zhang Yue said: "What the royal family says is not right, but the Taiwei himself understands it. I am a family of assistant ministers. I cannot talk to the generals of the Central Government Army. Now the country is in a difficult situation and I am forgetting my body and repaying it. Therefore, I have repeatedly spoken to the Taiwei and do not mislead big things because of minor dislikes."
Yan Da crossed his hands and said, "Jian Gong's words are kept in his heart. I wish to do my best to help Jian Gong."
Zhang Yue nodded and immediately climbed up the stairs. In addition to His Highness, he seemed to see many soldiers hiding outside.
It looks calm on the outside and undercurrents inside.
At the gate of the hall was the eunuch Yan Shouying. Yan Shouying said: "Donald Jian, the official family has woken up. Please wait in the side pavilion."
Zhang Yue asked: "The official family has words these days, isn't it because they can't speak?"
Yan Shouqing said: "The rumors in the foreign court are untrue. In fact, there are only a few words in the official family, such as "I am in a headache when I fall," "I am so lonely and cold," and so on.
Zhang Yue nodded and walked into the side pavilion.
Sandalwood lingered, and Zhang Yue was brightly lit through the carved inner fan of Funing Hall's main hall, and the figures of the imperial physicians were shuttled back and forth on the window paper.
However, Zhang Yue was not in a hurry and returned to his seat.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Maoze entered with a whisk: "The Empress Dowager Xuan Jianguo Duke's visit."
The moment he stepped into the main hall, a strong smell of medicine mixed with ambergris came to his face. Zhang Yue's eyes swept across the hall, but when he saw the curtains being lifted, Cai Que, Zhang Dun and other priests knelt on the east side of the emperor's sick bed.
Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others lived in the west, and the prince was kneeling in front of the imperial bed.
The official family, who should have been ill, leaned half on the hidden bag, and his thin face was a little flushed.
When the priests saw Zhang Yue enter the hall, some were at ease, while others were uneasy.
When Zhang Yue saw this scene, he knew what he looked like, and then he met the official family on the sickbed. When he met with his eyes, Zhang Yue leaned down and cried and said, "Your Majesty! I'm late."
But seeing Zhang Yue's words sincere, Empress Dowager Gao raised her sleeves to wipe her tears when she heard this, and even covered her face and cried to the queen.
Zhang Yue served the emperor of the three dynasties and was even more the prime minister of Yuanfeng. His voice was heartbroken by his side.
Just as Zhang Yue was crying on his bed, Zhang Maoze stepped forward and whispered: "Good Master Jian knows that the official family woke up today. He first said the sixth brother, and then said the word "Tai", for fear that I would not understand it. He wrote the word "Tai" and lowered the command. I am stupid and do not understand the meaning of the holy people?"
Zhang Yue said without hesitation: "The holy meaning is profound, and the person who wrote the word "Tai" is of course intended to be the crown prince."
As soon as the words were finished, a needle fell in the hall could be heard.
Zhang Yue entered the palace and opened up the conversation. Anyway, he is not the current prime minister now, so what should I worry about?
But the official on the sickbed nodded slightly, with tears flowing everywhere, and then he pointed to the prince beside him and said two words: "Yao Shun..."
Cai Qi immediately led the prime minister to bow his head and said, "I will be honest with you and I will assist the prince in becoming the king of Yao and Shun!"
The official was happy to hear this, and after glanced over the crowd, he lit up the seat beside the couch with difficulty, and said, "You..."
But when the official family clicked Zhang Yue, the word "Qing" was heard, Cai Que's pupils suddenly shrank, Sima Guang's white eyebrows trembled slightly, Lu Gongzhu exchanged glances with Zhang Zhi, and Zhang Dun clenched the tablet in his hand.
"Since the order."
Zhang Yue cleaned his robe and dress, and sat upright beside the imperial bed in front of everyone.
The official raised his hand and the back of his hand, which was bulging with blue veins, seemed to have tried all his strength: "It is useless if you don't enter the game. You are so stable, I dare not disturb each other...
Every time the official said a little, he had a stir, but he still struggled to continue, "...but the prince was weak and had to trust him with great things."
"I dare not compare with Yao and Shun, but only two wishes."
"I wish to break Helan... and recover Yanyun..."
"The new law of the two wishes...passed on the torch..."
"I will give this wish to you and my son!"
After saying that, the official barely raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Yue. The prince watched the scene, crying and unable to suppress himself.
Zhang Yue was so heartbroken when he heard this, he held up the official's hand with both hands, and felt that it was as heavy as a tremendous amount.
Zhang Yue knocked his forehead beside the bed and said, "Your Majesty will raise a dragon body. I am willing to work hard for dogs and horses to repay Your Majesty for knowing your favor."
