I studied in modern times

Chapter 51 Enthroned
Soon, neither Zhao Xu nor Empress Dowager Gao had the intention to pay attention to Wang Gui's affairs anymore.

Because, the official family's condition in Funing Palace deteriorated rapidly.

Yiwei (the second day of junior high school) couldn't feed any soup, medicine, rice.

His body fell into complete paralysis.

Except for breathing, he is almost a dead person.

Some people began to suggest, whether it is possible to go and get the so-called 'elixir' offered by a monk named Daoqin in the fifth year of Yuanfeng and try it.

It was also on this day that Zhao Xu went through all the procedures for him to establish a crown prince. According to tradition, when a prince establishes a crown prince, he needs to submit seven forms of thanks to show humility (emperor five, queen mother one, empress one). Of course, all the thank you forms were written by Deng Runfu on his behalf.

Therefore, on this day, Dutang Zaizhi promulgated an amnesty, in the name of establishing a prince and praying for the emperor, amnesty the world.

In Bingshen (the third year of junior high school), all the methods used by the Chinese doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau to stimulate the sick and bedridden emperor were declared invalid.

After the discussions between the two palaces, they could only do the last thing that Zhao Xu's father could do.

They told the Zaizhi about the "elixir" presented by Taoist monks in the fifth year of Yuanfeng.

The Zaizhi then went to the table and asked the two palaces to use the 'elixir'.

Although, as everyone knows, it won't help.

Everyone also knows that all elixir and longevity medicine are fake.

Even the sick emperor would know about it - otherwise, that 'elixir' would not have been kept in the Royal Medicine Academy.

But at this time, manpower has been exhausted, and he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he has to do this.

Otherwise, how will future generations evaluate it in the history of the country?

Obviously there is an 'elixir' but not used by the emperor?

When the prince grows up, if he knows, how will he feel?
Therefore, the two palaces issued an edict, agreed to the prime minister's request, and ordered Liang Congzheng to fetch the 'elixir' that was stored in the Royal Medicine Academy.

Hope it will work.

It's a pity that even after trying all means, the emperor failed to accept the 'elixir'.

No one dared to take the risk of 'damaging the dragon's body' to forcibly open the emperor's mouth.

No one dares to use those folk remedies.

The prince is watching from the side!
Zhao Xu shed tears, looking at the Chinese doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau who were already sweating profusely, and also looked at Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang who were crying like him.

He sighed.

"Grandmother... Queen Mother..." Zhao Xu cried and said, "You can order the national doctors to retire!"

"Father's dragon body must not be damaged in the slightest!"

Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang both nodded with tears in their eyes.

They knew in their hearts that the so-called 'elixir' was just a gimmick.

It's used to gag other people's mouths.

Now that the crown prince has agreed, there is no need to take the risk of damaging the dragon's body to do something that is bound to fail.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu closed his eyes and knelt down in front of his father's sick bed again.

He knew that the palace chariot was driving, right in front of him!

But at least he let his father die in peace.

You don't have to be forced to pry your mouth open and stuff the egg-sized heavy metal 'elixir' into your stomach.

Let it go with pain in the end.

Outside the curtain, the chief executives all crawled down.

Inside the curtain, the Chinese doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau all apologized and withdrew.

And taking advantage of the moment when the Chinese doctors walked out of the curtain.

Zhao Xu saw the prostrate minister in the palace.

He counted, and there were only six of them.

In other words, Zuo Xiang Wang Gui is still at home behind closed doors.

The next day, March Dingyou (the fourth day of the lunar new year), Chen Yijian from the Imperial Medical Bureau reported that he could no longer feel the official's pulse, and could only hear the official's weak heartbeat and short breathing.

That night, in the Vajra Dojo of the Daqing Hall, all the senior monks from Bianjing City gathered.

The chanting sound lasted the whole night.

As the crown prince, Zhao Xu, accompanied by Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang, attended the Vajra Dojo in person this time.

However, the gods and Buddhas did not perform miracles after all.

The next day, Wuxu Day (the fifth day of the new year), Chenshi.

As the bell tower on the tower of Xuandemen was rang, the entire imperial city was completely lost.

The emperor of Yuji Tianxia for 19 years finally passed away!

In Funing Hall, the body of the Son of Heaven has been carried out and placed on the west steps of the hall.

Zhao Xu knelt before the coffin, crying very sadly.

Both emotionally and objectively.

He must cry, and must cry sadly!

Beside him to the queen, weeping with him.

Empress Dowager Gao was sitting in the curtain in the hall, also crying.

The ministers filed in from outside the hall.

When all the ministers arrived at the Imperial Palace, they all cried aloud, and then prostrated themselves on the ground: "I invite Your Highness, the Empress Dowager, Your Highness, and Your Highness to express condolences!"

"The country still needs the support of the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Crown Prince!"

"I'm waiting for death, dare to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne before the spirit of the late emperor, so as to order the society and secure the world!"

Immediately, there were ministers who crawled forward, and set up Zhao Xu without hesitation, put a yellow robe that had been sewn a long time ago on him, and then put him on a prepared throne in the east of Funing Hall.

The chancellors rushed forward, prostrated themselves on the ground, held up the wat and prostrated three times and kowtowed nine times: "Your Majesty the emperor respectfully asks you all blessings!"

Then, outside the Hall of Funing, the civil and military ministers who had already gathered outside the hall also knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times: "The ministers and others respectfully ask His Majesty the emperor to bow and pray for all blessings!"

Zhao Xu on the throne was sobbing and shedding tears.

The eyes are only looking at the body of the late emperor who was placed on the west steps of the hall.

He knew that this was the Great Song Dynasty system.

When the first emperor was promoted, he was no longer a king, but an ancestor god.

Shengxia's ancestral gods only have the role of offering sacrifices.

This is the characteristic of the Song Dynasty.

Since Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan advocated the ancient prose movement and initiated the Qingli Xingxue.

The literati and bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty no longer believed in the interaction between heaven and man, nor did they believe in the granting of monarchy by heaven.

Since the literati and bureaucrats have even thrown aside Dong Zhongshu's sense of heaven and man.

How could they be expected to be foolishly loyal to an emperor sitting on the throne of Bianjing?
joke!

What have the old party ministers done since the reform in Xining?

I don't serve you anymore!Bye-Bye!

Master is going to Luoyang!
This is true for Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Sima Guang and others.

This is called 'the way is not good, ride the boat to float in the sea'!
Not only old party ministers are like this.

The same goes for the New Party!
What happened to Prince Anshi?

People in Jiangning said: Don't cue, busy planting flowers and chanting scriptures.

This is why Han Qi was highly praised by the emperors of the Song Dynasty.

It is also the reason why Han Qi's posthumous posthumous title is "loyalty".

When Han Qi was alive, even though he opposed the new law, he did not obstruct or destroy it, but assisted in its implementation.

On this point, in the heart of the emperor, he was far away from other scholar-bureaucrats.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu also sighed in his heart: "The country is in trouble and I miss loyal ministers!"

"Where is my loyal minister?"

He looked into the hall.

Zhao Xu understands that the prime ministers and ministers in charge are about to usher in the stormy waves of the Two Palaces Era.

None of them could survive!

Zhao Xu can barely protect the dignity of these people and let them go out to the local prefectures and counties as officials, which is already good.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to be the 'loyal ministers' that Zhao Xu needs in the short term.

Besides, the current Zhao Xu doesn't need a real elder of the late emperor to be in his ears, talking about the ambitions of the late emperor and the old affairs of Xifeng every day.

Zhao Xu has his own ideas and doesn't need them to teach him.

Therefore, it is better for these ministers to go out.

On the contrary, Zeng Bu and Deng Runfu had good luck, one won the trust of Empress Dowager Gao, and the other won the trust of Empress Xiang.

In this way, the two palace era that is about to start will have these two more variables.

But are they loyal ministers?
Deng Runfu may be, but Zeng Bu really has a big question mark!
As for the old party officials?

They say they must be more loyal than anyone else, but is it true?Then only God knows!
So, Zhao Xu looked around all over the court, but he didn't even have a 'loyal minister' whom he felt reliable and could rely on!

Can't help feeling sad!

Good thing...

"There is still a loyal minister!" Zhao Xu looked outside the hall, and he knew that there was a minister who was absolutely loyal and dependable was outside the hall at this moment.

Su Song Su Zirong!
In Zhao Xu's last life, he already knew that this is a great loyal minister!After studying abroad for ten years in modern times, Su Song's status in Zhao Xu's heart has skyrocketed!
He has been regarded as a confidant like a humerus!

Thinking in his heart, Zhao Xu wiped away his tears, looked at the prostrate courtiers all over the hall, and also looked outside the hall.

He choked up and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me!"

He followed what Empress Dowager Gao had taught him, and said without changing a single word: "Unfortunately, Emperor Daxing abandoned the world! Thanks to the blessing of the gods of our ancestors, I have been blessed by the world, and at a young age and insignificant body, I am on top of the people in the world. I am trembling like walking on thin ice. I hope that you will help me a lot and give a lot of advice!"

"I will wait for death!" All the ministers paused and bowed again.

Therefore, when the left minister Wang Gui was at home to accuse him of the crime, the right minister Cai was indeed ordered to read the imperial edict of the Daxing emperor.

This edict has already been written.

On the day when Zhao Xu established the reserve, he wrote it together with the Ci Ci written by the reserve.

Now, just changing the time, it can be read directly in court.

"I use Feiliang, flattering the great rule, and winning the ancestral temple. It has been ten or nine years...the crown prince, gentle and gentle, wise and long-term. Kindness and filial piety, born in nature! People are expected to belong, and the artifact belongs! You can be the emperor in front of the coffin..." During Cai Que's cadenced reading, inside and outside the Funing Hall, everyone was choking and sobbing.

Zhao Xu also left the throne, and knelt down facing his father's body, weeping with tears.

The left and right immediately stepped forward, pretending to help them up, but they couldn't help them anyway, so they could only persuade: "I hope the officials will take care of the dragon's body for the sake of the country and society, and take care of the holy bow!"

Cai Que in the hall paused for a moment, and then continued to read: "However, Nianfang is in the middle of the year, and the general affairs are extensive, to protect the imperial family, and to honor the mother's ceremony..."

"The empress dowager is deeply sage, kind and compassionate. She assisted the late emperor and supported me. She has a little knowledge and has been heard all over the world. She can be respected as the empress dowager!"

Empress Dowager Gao behind the curtain suddenly burst into tears, and several courtiers quickly stepped forward to support her, and persuaded them one after another: "I also invite the Empress Dowager, for the sake of the official family and the community, the mourning will end soon!"

Cai Que paused, and waited for the Empress Dowager, who had just been promoted behind the curtain, to mourn, before continuing to read the will: "Empress Xiangshi, whose virtue is docile and gentle, whose Tao is virtuous, assists and bows to me, upholds the virtues of Qiming, is the prince's aunt, is a close relative of the prince, and can be respected as the Empress Dowager!"

Empress Xiang, who was in front of the coffin, suddenly cried and wailed bitterly, and the left and right rushed forward to grab the empress dowager who was about to fall on the late emperor's coffin.

"My empress dowager, please give me my condolences! My condolences! The official family still needs your empress' protection and support!" The courtiers and female officials cried and comforted the newly promoted empress dowager.

Cai Que still paused for a moment, waiting for the empress dowager to mourn, and then continued to read: "When it comes to the military and state affairs, the empress dowager has the right to punish, and the empress dowager has the same right to assist, and Yu Yizhang presents Mingsu's story to implement..."

For the rest, no one listened.

All the officials, no matter inside or outside the hall, faced the Empress Dowager inside the curtain and the Empress Dowager who was crying with her back in front of the coffin, and bowed with fluorine: "I respectfully ask the Empress Dowager for blessings!"

"Your servants respectfully ask the Empress Dowager all blessings!"

Zhao Xu was in the hall, listening and watching quietly.

The heart is like a mirror.
