Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 136 The Proposal to Supervise the Country
Zhao Kuangyin was furious, and when he was about to kick the second person again, his body shook suddenly, and he fell to the ground on his back, unconscious.

All the ministers cried out in shock and rushed forward one after another, and the eunuch on duty in the palace also rushed over to check.When the incident happened suddenly, almost everyone panicked, some shouted for the imperial physician to come, and some shouted for Empress Song. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall.

In the end, it was Zhao Guangyi who made up his mind, and ordered the eunuch to carry Zhao Kuangyin back to the bedroom, and at the same time sent someone to pass on the word to the imperial physician.

When Zhao Kuangyin was carried back to the dormitory, the imperial physician arrived just in time. After asking about the reason and making a diagnosis and treatment according to the pulse, he immediately said: "The Holy Majesty is attacking with anger, and has suffered from dizziness!"

Zhao Guangyi interrupted the imperial physician impatiently: "Do you still need to talk about this matter? What the king is asking is, how is the holy majesty's condition and when will he wake up?"

"Well, I really don't know, it may be an hour or two, or two days, or..." The imperial doctor shut his mouth after talking, naturally saying that he might not wake up at all.

The faces of all the ministers suddenly became heavy, Zhao Guangyi waved his hand, leaving the imperial physician and servants here to wait on him, and then led all the ministers out of Zhao Kuangyin's bedroom.

The Holy Majesty suffered a serious illness suddenly, everyone was worried and confused, no one left immediately, but gathered in a side hall by coincidence,

After a while of silence, among the crowd, a voice finally spoke up: "The Holy One is seriously ill and can't take things seriously, but the country's great government cannot be abolished for a day, what should we do?"

The ministers looked up and saw that the person speaking was none other than Weng Tai, the confidant of King Zhao Guangyi of Jin Dynasty. They couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise in their hearts.

There were nearly a hundred civil servants and ministers who witnessed the serious illness and fainting of the Holy Majesty, but those who were qualified to follow to the bedroom and stay here to discuss matters were only a dozen or so prestigious people.These people are all old foxes who have experienced political turmoil, have good looks, and are extremely sensitive to the political situation. Everyone immediately vaguely guessed Weng Tai's intention to raise this matter suddenly.

But the matter was so important that no one dared to express their opinion immediately. They stared at each other, their eyes kept crossing each other, testing each other's minds with their eyes, while doing kung fu in their stomachs.

"If the Holy Majesty is really unconscious all this time, I can only implore His Royal Highness King Jin to take up the heavy responsibility and come out to supervise the country." Another voice answered Weng Tai's question, and this person was naturally Zhao Guangyi's confidant.

The eyes of all the ministers swiped, and they all focused on the face of Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi.

Since ancient times, the importance of supervising the country has never been placed under the crown prince. Once the king of Jin supervises the country is implemented, and the sage is really sick, then the succession of the king of Jin will be a smooth matter;

But supervising the country is also a big risk. If the Holy Majesty wakes up soon, at that time, he will find that his brothers have rushed to seize power before he kicks his legs. The consequences are really worrying. It is bound to cause a violent shock in the court; once this happens, none of the ministers who are Yizan Jin and supervise the country will be lost at that time.

On the other hand, if the Holy Majesty can't afford it and the King of Jin takes over the throne, those who refuse to give praise today will definitely be classified into another book, and they will definitely not end up in the new dynasty.

How to make a decision and express your position on this matter is related to everyone's wealth and future, and you have to make a decision after careful consideration, but first you need to see what King Jin himself said.

Zhao Guangyi didn't express his opinion right away. He pondered for a while, coughed lightly and said: "The matter of supervising the country has been discussed too hastily. This king firmly believes that the Holy Majesty is loved by the heavens, and he will definitely wake up. The matter of supervising the country , don’t mention it again.”

The ministers smacked the taste in Zhao Guangyi's words. Although they rejected the suggestion of supervising the country, they did not reject it with all their strength, and the language was not harsh. It was obvious that there was room for it, and it might be a pretentious gesture to push back. But it may also be that the time is not ripe enough.

"His Royal Highness King Jin usually takes care of the Kingdom of He, assisting His Majesty to frame the world, and he and His Majesty are blood brothers. Right now, His Majesty cannot afford to be seriously ill. It is only natural and right for King Jin to oversee the country, Your Highness. You don't need to refuse!" It was still Weng Tai who was rushing to speak. He came from a humble background, had no real talents, and had no solid achievements in government and achievements. He has always been especially close to Zhao Guangyi.

Just as Zhao Guangyi was about to speak, someone rushed ahead of him and shouted loudly: "The Holy Majesty has just fainted. Is it too hasty to discuss the matter of supervising the country at this time? If it is spread, the people of the world will definitely be stirred up, and people's hearts will be disturbed!"

The person who spoke was none other than Ma Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he was also the only member of the Six Departments who approached Zhao Dezhao.During the major deed tax case earlier, everyone found out Ma Zhi's position and attitude. At this time, it is reasonable for him to stand up and obstruct the affairs of King Jin's supervision of the country, but he actually dared to risk his life. It was a bit of a surprise to everyone.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at Ma Zhi coldly. Whether it is the right time to come out to supervise the country is one thing, but it is another matter for Ma Zhi to jump out impatiently to object.

Seeing this, Weng Tai immediately began to bite Ma Zhi, pointed at his nose and said angrily: "Ma! You are dissatisfied with King Jin and deliberately obstruct state affairs. You can speak out what you have to say, why bother to be hypocritical!"

Ma Zhi snorted, and said coldly: "Ma is a courtier of the sage, not a servant of King Jin! Everything Ma said is the truth, what is there to fear when speaking for the country?!"

Weng Tai blushed when he sneered at him. He was about to ask back, but Zhao Guangyi raised his right hand to stop him. He could only clenched his fists and gave Ma Zhi a vicious look, as if he wanted to rush over and strangle Ma Zhi to death. .

Zhao Guangyi took a deep look at Ma Zhi, but he didn't say anything, but unexpectedly turned to Wang Pu who had never said a word.

"Wang Taifu, you are a veteran of the two dynasties who was the prime minister, and an important minister of the Song Dynasty. What do you think?"

All eyes turned to Wang Pu.

Each of them understood in their hearts why Zhao Guangyi only chose Wang Pu to make him express his opinion, because the only one who could barely compete with Zhao Guangyi was the second prince Zhao Dezhao, and Wang Pu was Zhao Dezhao's father-in-law. The ties to him are obviously more than that of Ma Zhi.Wang Pu's statement will serve as a weathervane. If he refuses to firmly support Zhao Dezhao, then some other potential opponents will have to weigh it up. At the same time, Ma Zhi's opposition will become less convincing.
