--------------------------------------------------------------------

In April of the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, 1278 people including Lu Liang, a commoner from Yanzhou, entered Beijing and asked Zhenzong to go to Taishan to enshrine Zen. Zhenzong summoned them in the Chongzheng Hall and asked Cao Li to convey his intentions, saying that enshrining Zen was rare in all dynasties. The people's request may not be fulfilled, but Lu Liang pleaded that it has been 840 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and now the world is peaceful, and God sent a letter from heaven to prove that the emperor is a virtuous king, and he should go to Mount Tai to thank God.Zhenzong still disagreed, saying that this is a major event and should not be decided easily.Lu Liang asked again, but Zhenzong declined three times, and gave them money and silk to send them back home.Shao Ye, the magistrate of Yanzhou, also led the officials of the state to write a letter requesting Zhenzong to enshrine Zen, but Zhenzong refused.During the scientific examination this year, 370 candidates from all over the country, headed by students from Yanzhou, wrote a letter in front of the palace to ask for Zen. In front of the palace, he wrote five times to ask for Zen, but Zhenzong still refused.

In the Nanqing Palace, Defang stared at the plate of gold coins in front of him in a daze in the study, and Baili brought new tea in. "My lord, do you still look at these gold coins?"

"Well," Defang picked up one and said, "There is not a word on this gold coin."

"Then you can still read the words if you keep looking at it?" Baili smiled and said, "Let me put it away for you, little one."

"What do you know, Your Majesty, one gold coin a day is so heavy that the lonely king can't breathe."

Baili looked at the gold coin, "My lord, isn't this gold coin heavy?"

"I said Baili, how did your brain grow? The lonely king really can't tell you clearly." Defang shook her head

"Then tell the concubine." Concubine Di smiled and walked in, "Don't sit in the study all the time, the prince, go for a walk in the garden."

Defang nodded, "That's fine, Baili, let's prepare refreshments."

"No need," Concubine Di said, "The concubine is ready."

Defang smiled, "Madam is still thoughtful, haha"

The two came to the garden. At this time, the garden was full of peonies, and the little grandsons Cong Ben, Cong Zhi, and grandson Xinqi beside them were playing. Concubine Di poured two cups of tea and said, "My lord, I heard that many officials and students I wrote to ask His Majesty to enshrine Zen, why didn't His Majesty agree?"

"What a big event it is to enshrine Zen. There are only a few emperors in all dynasties who can successfully hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen. The monarch can only do this when he has made great achievements or great achievements or when the sky is auspicious. Besides, the heavenly script alone is not enough, and the people's will is the only way to do it." It is the key, according to Gu Wang, His Majesty is still brewing the opportunity."

"It's a headache to think about this kind of thing, so don't think about it, the prince. He seems to be preoccupied these days, but he really seems to be sick."

"The lonely king has been ill all the time." Defang picked up the snack and said, "Baili, go to the door and see if the person sent by His Majesty has arrived today."

"Yes, my lord." Baili trotted to the gate, and Concubine Di said, "Your Majesty sends a gold coin every day, and there is no oral order. What exactly do you want the lord to do?"

"There are already 98 pieces, and it will be full today." Defang said, "Ninety-nine are complete, and it's time."

After a while, Baili brought someone to the garden, "My lord, Duke Zhou and General Huangfu are here."

"Kowtow a thousand years to the prince and a thousand years to the empress" Zhou Huaizheng and Huangfu Jiming kowtowed

"Two please come up," De Fang said, "Does Your Majesty summon the lonely king into the palace today?"
