After hearing this crazy eunuch finish, Emperor ningzong said, "now look carefully, your appearance is really similar to that of your old brother. After you were killed in the past, I regret that I didn't take good care of you. Maybe it's God's will. I didn't expect that you were still alive. It's really good. You can see that this is good. The gratitude and resentment of the past will be written off and you will assassinate me I don't want to pursue what happened to you. I want to restore your throne and let you enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future. What do you think? "
After hearing this, the crazy eunuch looked at the emperor ningzong with disdain, and then said, "I want you to give me honor and wealth. It's a big joke. I'm the legitimate son of the empress of the imperial palace. I should have inherited the great song dynasty. Today I'm just taken away by you."
Seeing this, Emperor ningzong sighed and said, "brother, I didn't expect you to wake up now. Do you know that, as you said, you were qualified to succeed to the throne, but your daily life was very extravagant and cronyism. If you succeed to the throne, the country of Song Dynasty would be in danger, so the ministers supported me to be the emperor; Besides, this land is not owned by one person. Only those who are virtuous and capable can get it. "
Emperor ningzong talked a lot about Datong, but the crazy eunuch didn't seem to listen to it. After emperor ningzong finished, he laughed and said, "this world is a loser. Today you are the emperor, so you can say whatever you want. I think you'd better kill me, otherwise, one day, when you have a chance, I will come to kill you. ”
when he was so stubborn, Shi Miyuan stood up again and saluted the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, you are a kind king, but this man is extremely arrogant. According to the minister's opinion, this man has committed the crime of death, and it involves Royal secrets, so there's no need to judge him. Just kill him, do you think?"
Ning Zong thought for a while and said, "after all, this man is the son of the former Emperor, my elder brother, and queen Li is the only one left. I really can't bear to kill him, so I will keep him in the West Lake Palace forever."
"Now that your majesty has made up his mind, the minister will do as he says." I'll let the royal guards detain this crazy man.
At this time, Xinran stood up and said with a smile, "this case is really broken. You can rest assured this time, your majesty. There will be no assassins."
Emperor ningzong then said: "this time I went to the palace, I thought I would come to the West Lake Palace to have a good rest and relieve my fatigue in the palace. Even though there were successive murders, thanks to Prince Xin, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect my life tonight."
"Your Majesty is over praised. It's all your Majesty's great fortune. Only with the concerted efforts of all the ministers can this case be successfully concluded. The grassroots really have no credit for it." Xin Ran said.
After the two were polite, the emperor was about to have a rest. The ministers left the bedroom and went back to their rooms to have a rest.
In the morning of the next day, the ministers came to the bedroom door early to wait.
After waiting for a while, Emperor ningzong slowly walked out of the bedroom under the leadership of the eunuch Wang Gonggong, the palace manager.
They all fell to their knees in a hurry and cried three long live.
When they finished, Emperor ningzong asked them to go back to Lin'an with him.
As before, Xin Ran was already sitting in the imperial chariot with emperor ningzong.
When they were sitting in the car, Ning Zong said, "Mr. Xin, I don't have a friend like you who can accompany me all the time. It's a pity that you don't want to stay with me all the time. What a pity!"
Xinran knew that the emperor wanted to keep himself by his side, so he immediately said to Emperor ningzong, "although the grass people can't accompany you all the time, they are far away from the river and lake, but they are worried about their king." so your majesty can rest assured that as long as you have something you can do, I will do it for you. Please rest assured. "
Seeing that Xin's words were so sincere, Ning Zong was also very moved. He said, "son Xin, your father and son have been loyal to the Song Dynasty for generations. I know that. I trust you very much."
At this point, Emperor ningzong pondered for a while, looked at Xinran again, and asked: "Mr. Xin, I'm old and I'm not in good health now. Who can be in charge of the Song Dynasty in a hundred years?"
Xinran heard that emperor ningzong suddenly asked this question, thinking: what the emperor asked is not only his private affairs, but also a major event related to the future of the great song dynasty. If he expresses his opinions casually, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
Think of this layer of interest, Xin Ran did not know how to take Ning Zong.
When Emperor ningzong saw that Xinran didn't answer his question immediately, he knew that Xinran had some scruples, so he laughed and comforted Xinran and said: "Mr. Xin, I have told you that you and I are intimate friends, and we are friends who forget our youth, so you don't have to worry. Just say what you think. I won't blame you."
Seeing that the emperor ningzong said so frankly, Xinran had no scruples and said, "Your Majesty has established the prince of the east palace. According to the rules of the great Song Dynasty, your majesty should ascend the throne by the present prince after a hundred years, but with respect to the people of grass, the prince is a good prince with benevolence and filial piety. However, the prince's personality is too impulsive and lacks the city government that the king should have. If he ascends the throne in the future, he will become the king I'm afraid it's very likely that other treacherous officials in the court will use it to do something harmful to the Song Dynasty. Your majesty can't help but guard against that. ""Who do you think can inherit the great Song Dynasty, except the present prince?" Emperor ningzong asked again,
Xin Ran replied: "Cao min thinks that Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, is an ideal candidate to inherit his Majesty's country. But now, if there is a prince, if it is time to establish Zhao Yun, the people of the prince's party will surely be dissatisfied. They are afraid that it will cause political unrest in the central court. "
after listening to Xin Ran, Emperor ningzong said," yes, Mr. Xin, your analysis is very reasonable. This is my dilemma. They are all my sons. I really don't want to see fraternity. "
"Yes, your majesty, you have your own difficulties." Xinran then said to Emperor ningzong.
While they were chatting, they saw the prince lift the curtain and play: "Your Majesty, you have arrived at the palace."
When Xinran heard that he had arrived at the palace, he immediately said to Emperor ningzong, "now that he has arrived at the palace, I will leave. "
emperor ningzong said with a smile," well, young master Xin, let's talk about it later. "
Seeing that emperor ningzong granted his request, Xinran saluted emperor ningzong, and then left for the imperial chariot.
