Chapter 814
For several days in a row, Zhao Xi's face was already livid, but now it was even more gloomy.

Even if Wang Anshi was stubborn, he would not dare to disobey the wishes of the officials at this time!

However, Wang Anshi also believed that this gust of wind should indeed be killed.

Maybe it was just a case-by-case discussion in the front, but it changed in the end. It's really hard to say whether someone took the opportunity to make trouble.

During the days when Zhao Xi stopped court, the Imperial City Secretary's nerves were always tense, a hundred times more tense than when the official family was in court.

Naturally, the behavior of those tabloids in Bianliang City is clear, and even the social relations of the writers of each manuscript have been thoroughly investigated long ago.

This should not be regarded as the anger of the emperor.

The next day, the whole Bianliang became a little jittery, tabloids were seized, and scholars who wrote articles were taken into custody.A certain circle in Bianliang, which was originally very lively, suddenly became silent.

For ordinary people, it is just one less gossip, but for the gentry class, it is deeply touched.

What's wrong with the official?
What can happen?Zhao Xi said after deciding how to deal with this chaos: During the national mourning period, they are very free, and they are also in the mood to stir up trouble.

With this sentence, even the ministers who had sympathy for these rebellious and down-and-out literati shut up.

The Empress Dowager was newly mourned, Concubine Hui passed away, and too many veteran ministers passed away during this period of time. Under such circumstances, it was really not suitable to spread rumors and make trouble.

Not to mention the queen mother, there is Ouyang Xiu, who is considered a leader recognized by scholars.When Mr. Ouyang passed away, although not all of them would be distraught, it is necessary to show empathy.

Since they are all literati and scholars, they should behave as they should... Therefore, at this time, no ministers and workers stood up to complain for those repayments and scholars.

The key point is that if these low-level people, as well as those merchants and scholars who make a living by writing strange novels, were not scholars, the ministers would not have cared.

The mood of the officials after the death of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui was not something that the ministers dared to disobey.

A national funeral is a national funeral, but the government still has to deal with it.The cabinet habitually chats about some political affairs in the meeting hall from time to time, which can be regarded as communicating with each other, so that the government affairs in charge of each will not be out of touch.

Zhang Dun was the last one to come, because he received a message early in the morning and had to go around the Privy Council...

"Wang Xiang, look at this..."

The way Zhang Dun delivered the report was very casual, but his expression was quite solemn.

Wang Anshi was a little puzzled, not understanding what happened to Zhang Dun.Generally speaking, matters that need to be discussed will be discussed by the cabinets in charge at the routine morning meeting, and the cabinets will jointly agree on them.

The affairs of the Privy Council are in charge of Zhang Dun. If there is a need for the cabinet to make a decision, Zhang Dun should explain it. If there is no need for a decision, Zhang Dun can make his own decisions. There is no reason to simply read the report of the Privy Council to him.

"Ugh······"

Wang Anshi was stunned when he saw it.He can be regarded as a person with strong decision-making ability, but he doesn't know how to deal with such a report.

"The second prince knelt down at the border alone, weeping blood and begging to return to court to pay respects to the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui..."

The death of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui needs to be announced to the world.The second prince built a living place at the border between Annan and Guochao, knowing that the news would be delayed.

I believe that the border does not dare to neglect the behavior of the second prince, even so, it has been a few days.

This is really difficult.....
The dead are the greatest, or funerals are more important in the hearts of Chinese people than happy events.The Song Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and the officials and even the Zongzheng Temple did not say anything about the identity of the second prince.

What's more, the court generally believed that it was the intention of the officials that the second prince left to Jinglue Annan.

Although Wang Anshi, based on his understanding of the official family, may not necessarily plan this matter in the way of brothers fighting against the wall, but even he is not sure about the amount of money that can be shared.

Zhang Dun gave himself this report...Since the prince was present, Wang Anshi simply made it clear.

Wang Anshi didn't think about Zhang Dun's thoughts.Zhang Zihou may be talented, but his virtue and conduct are just that.

In Wang Anshi's view, this matter is difficult to deal with, just because it involves the royal family and the succession of the great line, it is not impossible to make it public.

No one spoke, and Zhang Dun didn't even lift his head, as if he didn't give Wang Anshi this memorial.

He himself didn't feel that he did something wrong, the Prime Minister, shouldn't he just go on with the difficult things?

"Everyone, let Gu Zuo report this matter to the officials..."

Although it is clear that this is not the father's plan, but looking at the situation of the cabinet, they probably think it is the father's plan.The prince understands.

It is estimated that if it is not because of his presence, the cabinet should unanimously agree that the second child will return to the court, right?After all, for the Song Dynasty, the unification of Kyushu and the integrity of the world are the established goals.

And the new cabinet must be happy to accomplish such a goal when they are in power.

And Annan, as the original jurisdiction of Yongzhou, the second child may be a crucial chess piece in the eyes of the cabinet.

As the eldest son of the Duan family and the only son, the second son couldn't come in person at this time, and Zhao Xi was also in a panic.

Although I also know that the royal family is the royal family and cannot be the same as ordinary people, but Zhao Xi is different from the people of this era after all.

Zhao Xi hopes that Duan's burial will not be so bleak...

If it weren't for Duan's passing away at this time, the Empress Dowager would have been buried long ago.Because the Duan family caught up with this time, Zhao Xi secretly asked Qin Tianjian to postpone the date...

"What do you think?"

Now that it is confirmed that the prince will inherit the throne, Zhao Xi still needs to take care of his son's thoughts.

"Daddy, I know that my second brother's behavior at the beginning was not ordered by my father, and I also know what my father thinks about my second brother's treatment later on."

"Because there have been new deaths of important officials in the imperial court recently, and the actions of the fourth brother's eastward mission have also been greatly affected. My child is thinking, since the second brother intends to return to the court to worship, why not take this opportunity to let the courtiers confirm what the second brother has done? purposeful."

"Yu Xiaoxin said that it is humane to allow the second brother to worship; Yu Niang said that it would not be desolate to have the second brother help the coffin to see him off; Song Liu's way out, can use this time to rectify his name, and it can also promote the behavior of the fourth brother."

"Although Hai'er doesn't know whether the fourth younger brother's eastward departure is related to the strategy of the Northern Liao Dynasty, but Hai'er knows that Dad's purpose is to try to maintain the stability of the succession of the emperor and Song Dynasty, and it is also a model for Hai'er in the future..."

After speaking, the prince knelt down.Since he took over the matter from the cabinet, he must get an affirmative answer from his father, otherwise, his reputation will be damaged to a certain extent.

Therefore, what the prince said today is more or less exaggerated.But he knows that whether the second younger brother can return to the dynasty is all based on his factors...
