In the outskirts of Bianjing, the sky was drizzling, the pine forest was covered with white mist, and a thatched hut in the forest was silent in the drizzle.

Chen Ji held a pen in his hand, and wrote in a quick way in this hut. He occasionally raised his eyes and looked at the bean-sized lights, as if thinking. [The latest updates are all at www.piaotian.com.com. A man quietly pushed open the bamboo door and flashed in, knelt down on one knee, saluted, and said in a low voice: "Sir, Master Jingde has sent the message."

Chen Ji did not look up, but just said, "Remember."

The visitor read the news. Chen Jicai raised his head and put the pen down. There was no surprise on his face, but he just said lightly: "At noon the next day, the Auxiliary King will arrive, right?"

"It's roughly this time."

Chen Jihe nodded: "It seems that Zhao Heng is determined to get rid of the auxiliary king." Chen Ji showed contempt on his face.

"Sir, do you want to inform the Auxiliary King?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "No need, the regent is more clear than you and me. Li Bangyan is the most cunning. He will not know that only when entering the city is the best time."

"But do you need to make some preparations in advance?"

"Preparation?" Chen Ji smiled faintly, looked at the visitor and said, "I've been ready. Are you really the assistant to take the risk of entering Beijing? To be honest, the assistant to the emperor never do things that are unsure. Although this time he will take some risks,..." Chen Ji's tone became affirmative: "On the day he entered Beijing, it's time for them to understand the subordinate to the emperor's family."

The person who came was confused, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Chen Ji sat down, his eyes opened and closed, and continued, "I heard that the Empress Dowager called a confidant to pass on an imperial decree to the Auxiliary King, right?"

"It's like this that the Auxiliary King sent the news yesterday."

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "I am not talking about this. I have read the content of the imperial edict, but it is said that the Empress Dowager had a question before, saying what the King of Jin..."

"I don't know this humble."

Chen Ji sighed and said lightly: "Okay, you can go out."

Only Chen Ji was left in the hut. Chen Ji frowned. If he had any worries, he murmured: "Is King Jin OK?" Then he shook his head: "Brothers, why don't you worry..."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The day when Shen Ao was about to arrive was getting closer and closer. In fact, someone had already reported it in the city of Bianjing. After all, the coffin of the late emperor was about to arrive. After all, it was not a trivial matter. The capital had to make arrangements in advance, so the Ministry of Rites was still discussing the burial. The tomb had been built long ago and was just waiting to be filled. However, there were still many etiquettes to be done. We had to discuss posthumous titles and prepare tributes. These things seemed simple, but they were not careless at all. One word was more or one word less than that required the officials of the Ministry of Rites to carefully consider it.

The Ministry of Rites was talking about the burial of the late emperor, but other departments were not idle. The auxiliary king was finally coming, and some were happy and some were worried. Almost everyone was preparing for the upcoming things. The movements in the city of Bianjing cannot be hidden, and the adults could see clearly. For example, yesterday, the imperial guards were frequently mobilized, and the palace vanguards in the palace city stepped up the garrison, and the horse army officials seemed to be searching for something in the city. What was it? But it was a bit incomprehensible.

The air in Bianjing was extremely tense, even to the point of shocking. A little movement was enough to make people open their eyes.

At this moment, Tong Guan entered the capital. Who is Tong Guan? At this critical moment, the commander of the three sides suddenly entered the capital. Who would not understand that this was to support the regent king. Tong Guan was no better than others. This person was very famous among the border troops, but he was also a big man who could not move easily. Although this military officer of the Song Dynasty was actually nothing, during this period, Tong Guan's identity was completely different.

At this time, no one is willing to cause trouble and tease the border army. If Zhao Ji was there, it would be nothing more than an edict to deal with Tong Guan, even if he wanted his head, no one dared to say anything. However, now that the new king ascended the throne and had not yet established his prestige, it was too late for the border army to appease him, so how could he dare to touch Tong Guan?

So after Tong Guan arrived in the capital, Zhao Huan immediately entered the palace. Instead of threatening and scolding him, he comforted him and rewarded him with a lot of imperial gifts before he was willing to let Tong Guan come out.

Tong Guan also thanked him, said a lot of compliments, and then came out with a smile, and then went straight to the Ministry of War. After all, when he entered Beijing, he always had to make excuses. It was impossible to say that the Zajia treated the capital as an inn and hotel and left as soon as he wanted to come. Tong Guan's excuse was to urge grain. The Ministry of War was too bad. The food and wages in April had not been distributed when the heat of the summer. The brothers in the border town were too hungry. They sent military officials to pursue the matter several times but died in vain. The Zajia had no choice but to go out in person and seek justice.

Since they are here to urge food and pay, it is a matter of course to go to the Ministry of War. Tong Guan's words in the Ministry of War were still very fierce, and he slapped the table at the Minister of War directly: "Hundreds of thousands of troops have not paid, but they still call it alive? The soldiers who were hungry and dared to rebel. Now the Western Xia soldiers are hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border, and they are forced to make trouble. If the border troops start to make trouble and join the Xia army, it will be a big deal."

The Minister of War was just a compensation, and finally let the old man who had lost a little something to send away. After carefully savoring Tong Guan's words, he found something wrong, and he pulled the flag and rebelled... Hundreds of thousands... Xia army... and joined forces... How could these words be organized like to say it to the emperor? Is this a threat warning?

Immediately, the Lord Shangshu showed a very sophisticated smile and immediately entered Yang Zhen’s mansion.

Yang Zhen is still in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he and Zhao Heng seem to have formed a tacit understanding. If you don’t touch me, I won’t bother to do my duty. However, given the performance of this hard rock in the pit, it would be a big mistake to think that Yang Zhen is a good boy.

Yang Zhen sat on a chair and drank, while holding the words of the Minister of War, and there was no joy or anger on his face. After a long time, he said, "Eunuch Tong is here to urge military pay, the Ministry of War does not have to rush to give it to you. Let Eunuch Tong live longer. Thank you for your hard work in the border town. If you go back later, you should enjoy more happiness."

The Minister of War smiled and had been an official for so long. Of course, he understood what Yang said in the truth, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is what the lower officials mean."

Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Since Eunuch Tong is here to urge grain, I guess he has brought a lot of soldiers who transport grain, right?"

The Minister of War said: "Not many, not many, I live in the Wengcheng for the time being, but only more than 5,000 people."

Yang Zhenhe nodded, picked up the tea and blew the tea foam, and said, "Five thousand... it's not beyond the rules. Please treat them well, so that they can eat and drink enough, so that they can transport food and pay in the future."

"The minister knows." The Minister of War licked his mouth, looked at Yang Zhen deeply, and whispered: "Sir, to be honest, if you are afraid that there will be not enough food for five thousand people to transport such food."

Yang Zhen smiled: "Soldiers are more important than elites. If you have strength, one can take over two. I don't know about the affairs of the army, but Eunuch Tong is a soldier. Would he not know? Since he only brought these five thousand soldiers, he naturally knows it. Why should we worry about him? Besides, even if it is not enough, there will be someone to help you. It is important not to think about these things. It is important to do your own job well."

After hearing this, the Minister of War felt it was reasonable and said, "Mr. Yang, I heard that the Auxiliary King will arrive at noon tomorrow? The palace also had an order to ask Duke Rui to come to greet him. Is this not in line with the rules?"

Yang Zhen smiled calmly and said, "What do you say?"

The Minister of War said: "This time it was not just the auxiliary emperor who came to Beijing, but also the coffin of the late emperor. The father lost his son and mourned him. This is also filial piety. Why didn't Your Majesty come out of the palace to greet him in person?"

Yang Zhen felt like a mirror in his heart. Of course, Zhao Heng would not leave the palace, but at this time he also looked unhappy and shook his head and said, "You are right in the Song Dynasty. As a minister, we must advise us."

The Minister of War smiled slightly: "Actually, the memorial of Xiaguan has been written long ago. Should Lord Yang read it?"

Yang Zhen showed an old fox-like smile and said, "No need to read it. Actually, I also have a draft here. Since that's the case, let's just be a loyal minister."

The two exchanged greetings and parted ways.

Soon, Bianjing was in an uproar. Yang Zhen, the disciples of the country, submitted a memorial to ask Your Majesty to leave the city tomorrow to welcome the late emperor with a full heart. This memorial was not outstanding, but every sentence in it was unforgettable. The word filial piety was the greatest truth in the Song Dynasty. Filial piety was the first priority. If the emperor refused to set an example, even if you had all kinds of means, this was the biggest stain of life. What's more, a new king like Zhao Huan who had already lost his heart.

Zhao Heng refused very simply and directly criticized the word "not accurate".

I originally thought it was just an ordinary memorial, but now it is unusual. Even if an ordinary family has a deceased husband brought back, he will go out to welcome him and cry. It is obvious that the emperor is so ruthless.

The real excitement is still behind. Yang Zhen refused the memorial, but soon, in addition to Li Bangyan and the Minister of Justice, the three provinces and six ministries also submitted memorials. The things mentioned in it were surprisingly consistent, and they all respectfully asked Zhao Huan to set an example for the world and had to go out of the city to welcome the late emperor.

This matter was really a big deal. These people wrote memorials and said that they were all high-sounding. They were perfect and could not even find the wrong ones. If they were to find this Yuzi to punish them, they would only cause even greater storms. Zhao Huan did not dare to refuse, but could not leave the city. After all, he was the emperor and was afraid of Shen Ao. Now he had made a plan to dispatch the imperial guards to kill Shen Ao outside the city. How could Zhao Huan be in danger easily? Once he left the city, he would inevitably cry beside the coffin of the late emperor. Don't let Shen Ao get rid of it, but Shen Ao would be caught.

Therefore, Zhao Huan's attitude was very firm and he would never leave the city.
