I studied in modern times

Chapter 40 Prince (3)

Perhaps it was the voices of the ministers outside the curtain that woke up the sleeping official. Maybe the decoction he had taken had finally taken effect, and the official, whose brain was bleeding more and more, finally got a chance to breathe.

Anyway...

He groaned and opened his eyes.

The wet nurse, Anren Baoyou, who had been serving him before his sick bed, immediately nodded happily: "The officials are awake!"

As a result, the entire curtain was alarmed.

Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang got up for the second time, and came to the Imperial Palace to inquire about the dragon body.

Zhao Xu also followed Queen Xiang to the imperial couch of his father.

As a result, Zhao Xu was able to see his father, the current appearance, for the first time in this life.

His face was thin, his cheekbones were high, and his eye sockets were deep-set. The eyes that used to make the courtiers terrified by just staring at him casually, have lost their former radiance.

It was only when he saw Zhao Xu's appearance that he became a little brighter.

"Father!" Zhao Xu didn't need to teach the queen this time.

With a plop, he knelt down in front of his royal father.

The tears in the eyes rushed out, flowing out in big drops.

"My son respectfully prays to the gods and Buddhas, and may my father recover soon!"

……

Zhao Xu opened his eyes, watching his mother, his queen, appear beside him.

The clothes worn by the queen mother and the queen made him instantly understand what the situation was now.

"Father!"

"My son respectfully prays to the gods and Buddhas, and may my father recover soon!"

In the ear, the cry of a child came.

It's Brother Six!
Zhao Xu became excited, and he tried hard to turn his head so that he could see his son.

He is most worried about and misses his son the most.

But his central nervous system was already half-paralyzed. He had been bedridden for nearly a month, and his body was even weaker. He no longer had much strength to control his neck.

He could only make an unknown sound.

"Queen, help the official family up..." Empress Dowager Gao cried, and then told the queen: "Let the official family take a good look at Sixth Brother!"

Going forward to the queen, she helped her husband up from the sick bed.

The emperor, who had been bedridden for nearly a month, was already very thin.

It was almost like a withered corpse, crying to the queen, helping her husband up and resting his head in her arms.

Zhao Xu leaned in the arms of the queen, his eyes tried hard to look at the child kneeling in front of Yu.

his son!

To the Queen's hand, gently stroking his forehead.

"Official family, Sixth Brother has moved to the palace today!" Xiang Empress told him the matter while weeping.

Zhao Xu exhausted all his strength and nodded his head.

Having been king for 19 years, he naturally knows what moving the palace represents?
For the young prince to move to the imperial palace, it can only be the minister's request.

This shows that his ministers have unified their opinions and formed a joint force.

"Cai Chizheng will finally live up to my entrustment!" He thought in his heart.

"Sixth brother!" Said to the queen: "Come to Yuqian and take a good look at your father!"

Zhao Xu immediately became excited.

He tried his best to cheer up and opened his eyes.

He wants to take a good look at his son again.

His heir!
……

Zhao Xu knelt and climbed to the front of his father's imperial court.

Then he raised his head, and looked at his father's eyes that had completely lost their former charm.

For Zhao Xu, it was the first time after 25 years that he met his father again.

It's not the lifeless and cold imperial portrait enshrined in Jingling Palace.

Nor are electronic pictures on the modern web.

It is the father who is still alive.

She is still thinking about him, and still worried about his father.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's crying at this moment is real, and it is also from the heart of a child.

"Father, my son is here!" Zhao Xu kowtowed heavily while crying.

At this moment, countless thoughts danced in Zhao Xu's mind.

The memories of the previous life, and what we saw and heard in the modern age are intertwined.

"My son is not filial, I can't serve my father's decoction..." Zhao Xu nodded again while crying.

Yes, he is an unfilial son!
In his previous life, his lifespan was too short!Not to mention leaving no son to inherit the foundation!

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, no descendant is the greatest!
What's more, it's the emperor's house?
What's more, the foundation of the ancestors is not entrusted to people?
and so……

"Father, in this life, my son will definitely give birth to many grandchildren for you!"

"You must not let my family's foundation fall into the hands of others!"

Zhao Xu said in his heart.

Yes.

In Zhao Xu's heart, no matter Zhao Ji or Zhao Si, they are all outsiders, and they shouted: "Imperial brother", but in his heart, he never regards them as close brothers, let alone heirs who can be entrusted to the country of Sheji!

Therefore, in Zhao Xu's previous life, even though Zhao Xu was the younger brother of his mother and compatriots, he was alienated by him.

Zhao Ji was able to have a close relationship with him only because of sympathy and Zhao Ji could not threaten the throne.

In the arms of Queen Xiang, listening to her son's cry, she also looked at the child's appearance.

In Zhao Xu's eyes, a tear finally fell.

He tried his best to look at his mother, with a look of longing in his eyes.

Empress Dowager Gao certainly understands her son, what do you want to say?
Empress Dowager Gao shed tears and told him in a low voice: "Emperor, don't worry! I have already issued a decree for my mother. From today on, King Yong and King Jia are not allowed to enter the Palace of Funing without a decree!"

"Until next month, both King Yong and King Jia will move out of the Forbidden City, and live in the residence of their closest relatives!"

Zhao Xu nodded gratefully to Empress Dowager Gao.

What he was most worried about was guaranteed by Empress Dowager Gao.

Queen Xiang was right next to him, and his son was listening in front of him.

He can finally rest assured!

So, he let out an ah, and looked away.

When he was asleep, he heard the voice of the minister.

Therefore, he knew that the chancellors are now in the Palace of Funing.

When Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang saw each other, they both shed tears and said to the left and right: "The officials want to see the ministers, go and ask all the ministers to enter the forbidden room and pay homage to the emperor in front of the emperor!"

He also ordered the left and right to raise the curtain in front of them and the emperor's imperial couch.

This is etiquette!

So he gently put down his husband's body to the queen, and shed tears with Queen Mother Gao, and retreated behind the imperial couch, in the raised curtain.

At this moment, under the leadership of Liang Weijian, the prime ministers who had obtained the permission were divided into two groups, and they arrived at the front of the imperial court.

The ministers were just like every day in the past, when they came to the imperial court to say hello, holding fluoren to worship, kneeling up, worshiping again, and rising again.

At the end of the worship service, Wang Gui on the left and Cai Que on the right said, "The ministers risk their lives and dare to beg in front of the emperor to visit the holy face!"

Zhao Xu nodded on the imperial couch.

The two prime ministers led a group of officials, and Chi Juan stepped forward and looked at the officials on the imperial couch.

In the past, officials who said one thing and said one thing, Qiankun was arbitrary, and even invented the method of asking the prime minister to pay a fine to control the officials.

Now, lying there, pale, with sunken eye sockets and prominent cheekbones.

There is no longer any appearance of a gentleman, no more majesty at all.

In the hearts of the officials, there are all kinds of tastes, which are complicated and different.

Especially Cai Que and Zhang Dun couldn't help crying.

Both of them are ministers appointed by the government alone!

Especially Zhang Dun, without the promotion and trust of this official, with his age and qualifications, he would only be able to gain a firm foothold in one state at this moment.

How to open up Meishan, expand the land for thousands of miles, recover the barbarians, and broadcast the achievements of becoming a king in Jinghu without bloodshed?

However, no matter what the officials think.

What should be done must be done.

Han Qi and Wen Yanbo are already there!

What's more, the prince is kneeling in front of the emperor, just watching there!
Therefore, the ministers came forward holding the fluorine, bowed and bowed long, and said one after another: "The ministers are waiting for death, dare to tell your majesty: For three generations, if you want to become a thousand-year-old career, you must have an heir! This is why this Han Dynasty caress the world!"

"Your Majesty is sick and unable to control the palace, and the ministers are in panic. Please build a prince so that he can tie the world together!"

Zhao Xu, who was lying on the imperial couch, sighed in his heart when he heard the performance of the officials.

Although he was very reluctant, he was also very reluctant.

But...he knew it was time!

So nodded.

Anren, the official wet nurse who has been serving the imperial court, blesses his wife and immediately said: "The holy will has been granted!"

The ministers then held fluoren and bowed again: "Your Majesty Fu Wei can be domineering!"

Then he ordered people to send the written and signed provincial letter to the imperial court for official review.

The ministers played again: "The sixth son of the emperor, the king of Yan'an County, the eldest son of his majesty, the son of the empress's wife, has the great hope of the world, and has the behavior of a filial son.

"Your Majesty dares to make the sixth son of the Emperor Yan'an County the Crown Prince so that His Majesty can recover!"

Zhao Xu listened to the words of the officials, and then took a deep look. The child who was kneeling in front of him and crying all the time looked at the written provincial letter sent to him. The words on the provincial letter and the monograms of all the chief ministers were clearly visible.

Although he has doubts in his heart.

When did the sixth brother become the queen's son--it is true in etiquette, but it is not the same thing in actual manipulation!

But he chose to ignore it in the end.

His current situation could no longer allow him to think too much, so he nodded again.

Mrs. An Renbaoyou saw the officials nodding, and said to the officials again: "The holy will has been granted!"

All the ministers let out a long breath, all held fluorene, bowed with long bodies, and prostrated themselves and said: "The ministers and others only pray for your majesty's holy blessings, and a speedy recovery of the Royal Palace! Death penalty! Death penalty!"

Then the ministers stood up.

And their mental state, at this moment, completely changed.

Everyone looked at the prince kneeling in front of the emperor.

There was a new strange look in their eyes.

The reserve position has been determined, it is time to clarify the righteousness of the monarch and ministers!

Therefore, they all faced the empress dowager and empress in the curtain, and said: "I am so frightened, please come to the front of the palace to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Empress Dowager Gao, who was in the curtain, nodded and said, "Your servant's request is very suitable for my old age!"

Xiang Huang also said: "The ancestral system is indeed the case. Please, all ministers, according to Zhiping's story, I will pay my respects to the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Xu, who was kneeling in front of his father, raised his head, looked at his father, the father who gave birth to him, raised him, taught him to love him and protect him, with tears streaming down his eyes.

Zhao Xu knew it.

From this moment on, the last vestige of the emperor's attributes in his father's remaining life was also stripped away.

　Note: During the Yuanfeng period, Shenzong's control over the government reached the extreme. If the prime minister did something wrong, he would obediently go to the palace to pay the fine. This matter has been criticized for a long time.
