After hearing Prince Zhao Hong's instructions, Li Yuan Yi could not help but shudder, thinking: the fight for power is really more terrible than the devil. At the beginning, Prince Zhao Hong was so frank, but now, when Wang Yongzhong was still working for him, Prince Zhao Hong was already thinking about whether Wang Yongzhong was unfaithful or not, and what to do if he was unfaithful.
After seeing Li Yuanyi listen to what he said, his face is a little cloudy and sunny. It seems that he is thinking about something. The prince Zhao Hong knows that what he just told Li Yuanyi to spy on Wang Yongzhong has caused Li Yuanyi's anxiety.
In fact, at this time, the prince Zhao Hong also regretted that he had just told his master Li Yuanyi to do it.
Prince Zhao Hong thought: I'll just pay attention to such things. I'll tell Li Yuan that this is not to let Li Yuan be on guard against himself for a while and feel like a dead dog.
Thinking of this, the prince Zhao Hong comforted Li Yuan and said, "Master Li, don't think too much. In fact, our palace asks you to arrange people to pay attention to the commander in secret. It's not to let you watch him, but our palace thinks that the commander in chief often handles all kinds of risky things for the king outside. If master Li arranges people to take care of him, what happens to him It's also good to take care of the danger. "
Li Yuanyi is also a man who has been in the officialdom for a long time. After listening to the words of Prince Zhao Hong, he understood that the purpose of his words was to comfort himself. Of course, these words could not be explained face to face. Therefore, Li Yuanyi immediately said to Prince Zhao Hong, "don't worry, your highness. I didn't think much about it."
This kind of thing is tacit, so Li Yuanyi immediately changed the topic and said to the prince Zhao Hong: "Your Highness, I will go to the early court tomorrow. In order to deal with the early court tomorrow, I have to contact some courtiers who support your highness to discuss, so as to ensure that tomorrow is safe. If there is nothing wrong with your highness, I will leave and do it It's all over the place. "
Prince Zhao Hong immediately agreed to Li Yuanyi's request, and personally sent Li Yuanyi out of the East Palace, and then returned to his own east palace.
In the morning of the next day, because it was a three-day assembly, people came to the court hall very early.
When Emperor ningzong was sitting on the Dragon chair, it was necessary for everyone to pay homage, so they were divided into two groups: Civil and military.
At this time, the eunuch Wang Gonggong, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, said to the ministers, "ministers, I am going to court early today. If I have something to play early, I will not leave the court."
As soon as Duke Wang's voice fell, Li Zhixiao, the Minister of Dali temple and the right counsellor, immediately left the class, knelt down on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to play."
"Li Aiqing, what can I do for you Emperor ningzong asked.
When the imperial Minister Li Qixiao and his majesty were killed, they almost didn't dare to shoot me at the gate of the imperial palace
In fact, the emperor of ningzong had known about it for a long time, but when he heard it, he still pretended to be surprised and asked, "who dares to be so bold? Can't he want to rebel?"
After that, he asked Chen Wenduan, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, and said, "Chen Aiqing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. Tell me your opinion."
In fact, Chen Wenduan has heard about it. In private, he guessed that it was either done by Shi Miyuan or by the crown prince Zhao Hong. No matter which faction did it, it is not easy to provoke.
But Chen Wenduan was an upright official. When he saw the emperor asking himself, he said, "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to handle. If you call in the commander of the imperial army who was on duty that night, you can understand the situation."
"Chen Aiqing has a point." Emperor ningzong nodded and said.
After that, he ordered the commander on duty to come.
After a short time, the messenger came back and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Imperial Guard on duty that night was killed at home last night."
Hearing the news, Shi Miyuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is killing people. If you are killed, it's nothing. If the Yi king is killed, it's amazing. The Yi king has always been your favorite son. All the ministers in the court know that if the Yi king is killed, who is the best for you? I'm afraid your majesty knows that 。”
As soon as Shi Miyuan finished speaking, before the emperor ningzong spoke, the prince Zhao Hong immediately stood up and pretended to be indignant and said, "father, the prime minister has something to say. It's not obvious that all the adults present said that the shooting of the emperor's younger brother and his Shi Miyuan was done by children's ministers. In fact, we all know that some people in the court always thought that children's ministers were loyal to the emperor My younger brother, King Yi, was dissatisfied. He said that his younger brother, King Yi, was worried that he would take his son's place as the crown prince, not to mention that he was honest and would not do such a thing. That is to say, his younger brother, King Yi, was willing to be the crown prince, where he and King Yi were brothers and would willingly give up the position of the crown prince to his younger brother, King Yi. "
At this time, Liang Chengda, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, and Mo Ze, the Minister of the Ministry of household, saw the prince come out to defend himself, so they came out one after another to support Shi Miyuan, and implied in their words that it was Prince Zhao Hong who sent Archers to shoot Shi Miyuan and King Yi.Naturally, the people of the prince's party here are not willing to be outdone. The ministers who support the prince's party, headed by Li Yuanyi, Minister of rites, also stand up and say that Shi Miyuan is probably playing a bitter game. The prince has always been very friendly to his brother, otherwise he would not personally escort him back to his palace after the return of King Yi.
For a moment, there was a lot of noise on the court hall, which made a mess.
The emperor ningzong was very insightful at this time, so he asked Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, "huang'er, you have always been very intelligent, and you are also a person who has experienced this thing personally. Now you Aiqing have different opinions. In your opinion, who do you think did this thing?"
to tell the truth, this thing really makes Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, in a dilemma, because if you really want to make it clear, I'm afraid The Song Dynasty was in turmoil again.
Therefore, the king of Yi replied: "father, after all, this time, both the minister and the prime minister are in danger. It's better to make peace."
"The king of Yi has insight and measurement." After listening to Zhao Yun, king of Yi, Emperor ningzong praised him.
Then he said to the ministers, "today, you should think about the word" he "in this court hall!".
