Funing Hall

Although Empress Dowager Sun gritted her teeth with hatred, her face was very calm, she said in a gentle voice: "My lord, I am also discussing this matter with your lords, Cong'er is inconvenient, and it is rare to see the envoy, so we must make proper arrangements. "

"Everyone is here today, and this king happens to be here too, so let's discuss directly!" King Wei Jun said while taking a sip of tea soup.

Everyone could see that Duke Wei was deliberately confronting Empress Dowager Sun, and that tone was not the tone for a good discussion at all.But all the people present were human beings, and they all lowered their heads at this moment, not saying a word.

Empress Dowager Sun was really pissed off by King Wei Jun, that's why people say they are afraid of those tyrannical ones and don't follow the directions!She really had nothing to do with King Wei, neither could she reprimand him, nor could she drive him away.King Wei obviously wanted her to come out sometime, but she still didn't want Zhao Cong to meet the envoy.

That's right, the previous time, she complied and asked Zhao Cong to meet the envoy.But all fools know that Zhao Cong saw that the envoy was not good for her. She originally thought that when Zhao Cong accepted the concubine, she was just in the mood for excitement, so she might forget about it. .

Can those envoys really wait until Zhao Cong's longevity in autumn?

In the face of interests, father and son turned against each other. Didn't the first emperor kill his own brother?

So what if she doesn't keep her word?

It just so happened that the Duke of Wei wanted to mess around!

In the main hall of the Yanhe Hall, there was silence at the moment, and all the gentlemen lowered their heads slightly, looking at their toes.King Wei Jun raised his head proudly and looked at Queen Mother Sun proudly.Empress Dowager Sun tried her best to control her expressions and emotions, trying her best to make herself smile.

Zhao Cong looked at it and thought to himself, this is not good, if there is such a stalemate, the drama will not go on!

He bowed his head for a while, and successfully made the circles of his eyes turn red, then raised his head, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty and Uncle Wang don't want to argue about me, I'm really unwell, and it's not suitable for me to see that foreign envoy, let the envoy Seeing that our Great Song Emperor is actually like this..."

Zhao Cong's voice was full of timidity and hesitation. As he spoke, he looked carefully at Empress Dowager Sun and Duke Wei.

King Wei Jun was still a man of conscience. When he saw Zhao Cong like this, his head slammed, and he burst into tears: "My poor nephew! Uncle Wang is useless! The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can’t even see foreign envoys! Uncle Wang, I’m sorry for the late emperor, I’m sorry for the Taizu, I’m sorry for the ancestors of our Zhao family!” Weijun Wang stood up while crying, bowed outside the hall, and then turned around He knelt down directly towards Zhao Cong.

"Uncle Wang! Don't do it!" Zhao Cong stood up anxiously, and walked down from the first seat crying, reaching out to help King Wei Jun.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Junwang hugged Zhao Cong and cried for a while.

Zhao Cong was at a loss, with tears streaming down his face, and turned his head to look at Queen Mother Sun for help.

Empress Dowager Sun's eyes were calm, seeing Zhao Cong's teary eyes, she couldn't help but said: What a worthless person!

Which emperor is so weak and crying like this?Ministers are still there!

But why didn't she think about it, without her guidance, which emperor would be like this?

Thanks to this Zhao Cong, it was Zhao Cong who had changed the core a long time ago, otherwise, he would have disappeared without a sound like Zhao Cong in Zhao Shishi's previous life.

No matter!Simply let him go to see the envoy, so that those envoys who laughed at her can see that the emperor of Song Dynasty is such a person now!Let's see who they are going to laugh at then!

The uncle and nephew sang the tricks like this, and the Empress Dowager Sun had to agree if she didn't agree, and the time was set on the nineteenth of the next month.

Empress Dowager Sun thought it would be all right, the days were fixed for them, and she only hoped that they would leave quickly, she had a headache.

King Wei Jun said again: "It's not enough to just set the date. It's rare for Your Majesty to see the envoy. The scene must be grand and spectacular! It just so happens that the Zichen Palace may not have seen the light for a long time. That's all."

Empress Dowager Sun clenched her hands tightly and did not speak.

Zhao Cong persuaded, "With my body, I can't talk for too long. There is no need for such a big scene. It can be done in Chongzheng Palace."

Duke Wei had stopped crying a long time ago, when he heard Zhao Cong's words, he naturally scolded him for being worthless.

But he continued to say: "If the queen mother can't be assigned to your majesty, she can't look down on this king, and it's okay. The father-in-law of the grandson in the king's family is the one who judges the Ministry of Rites, although he is not a member of the Ministry of Rites. , but he is also from the Liyuan, and he is very familiar with these things, let him do this errand!"

A "ding" sounded in Zhao Cong's head, wasn't that Cai Yong? !

King Wei Jun is really a wonderful person, who said that King Wei Jun can only mess around?If he got serious, it would be difficult for Queen Mother Sun to deal with him.Look at his tricks, while pushing him up, he didn't forget to push his family. After all, it was all the credit of Wei Jun Wangfu, and everyone had to thank them.

But he really has to thank Wei Junwang for his appearance, which has helped him a lot invisibly.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun is a judge of the Ministry of Rites, who can't be seen when thrown into the crowd.Such a person can't make a splash even if thrown into the lake.On the contrary, she was relieved, and really wanted to see what kind of tricks such a person who had never heard of could do in Zichen Palace, she smiled and said: "How can you not look down on the prince, the prince is the grand | If you personally teach, do everything according to the prince's instructions."

Prince Wei was satisfied: "Since this is the case, this king and His Majesty will leave now and will not disturb the Queen Mother in handling political affairs."

This is a personal word!Empress Dowager Sun gritted her teeth secretly.

Zhao Cong looked at Empress Dowager Sun timidly again, until Empress Dowager Sun showed him a reassuring smile, then he smiled happily as if encouraged, and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhao Cong like this, Empress Dowager Sun felt at ease.

Originally, this play should have been sung to an end.

When they were about to leave, Qian Shang suddenly said, "Your Majesty, please stay."

Zhao Cong turned around to look at him in surprise.

Qian Shang bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am not a talented official. I went to the Liao Kingdom with the envoys of this dynasty in the early years, and I am quite familiar with their etiquette. If your majesty does not dislike it, I am willing to accompany your majesty to meet the envoys of various countries. .”

Qian Shang asked Zhao Cong directly, but did not ask Queen Mother Sun, which means he only recognized the emperor in his eyes.

Zhao Cong looked at Empress Dowager Sun first, pretending to be innocent and worried as usual.

Empress Dowager Sun was originally unwilling to accept the money merchant, but she had already sent it to Zhao Cong.

On the contrary, she is already relieved, she still can't be ordered by others?She laughed and said, "Cong'er will take care of Mr. Qian."

Only then did Zhao Cong happily smile and say: "Yes!" He helped the money merchant up again with his own hands, "Mr. Qian came to look for me when he has time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qian Shang saluted again.

Only then did Zhao Cong leave with Duke Wei.

When they disappeared, Empress Dowager Sun smiled: "Cong'er is a child after all."

Zuo Pushe, You Pushe and others who were dumb like before happily followed suit.

Qian Shang smiled but said nothing, looking at the slightly satisfied Empress Dowager Sun, his heart was as still as water.

King Wei Jun wanted to leave the palace after finishing his affairs, Zhao Cong kept him: "Uncle Wang, go to my place to see Eleven, he misses you."

His eleventh grandson doesn't recognize him at all, so what's on his mind?

Duke Wei declined politely: "It's getting late, I'm coming back to see him. Your Majesty should go back to rest earlier."

Zhao Cong showed reluctance: "Uncle Wang needs to come to the palace more often."

King Wei knew that Zhao Cong was lonely.Thinking about it, it was really pitiful. King Wei Jun sighed, took Zhao Cong's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, this time we must behave well. Please rest assured, no matter what, I will protect Your Majesty."

These words were somewhat sincere, Zhao Cong thanked him gratefully, and ordered Fu Lu to send him out of the palace.

After they left, Zhao Cong turned around and looked at the guards and eunuchs standing outside the Yanhe Hall, and said with a smile, "It's been hot recently, so I've been working hard."

The guards and the little eunuch were so frightened that their legs gave way, and they all knelt down again.

"Look, I scared you." Zhao Cong smiled lightly, and left without screaming, leaving the guards and eunuchs trembling.

Fulu sent King Wei Jun back, and quickly told Rantao about meeting the envoy.There was a concubine in the front, and an envoy in the back. Rantao's brows were full of joy.With a smile in her eyes, she waited on Zhao Cong to wash his hands and clean his face, and then took off his big clothes and changed into a light long gown.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it gets hotter and hotter day by day.

No matter how weak his body was in this life, Zhao Cong would still feel hot, and he couldn't calm down to cool down naturally, but he couldn't use ice.

He wanted to put a jade mat on the couch, but he was not allowed to dye pottery, for fear of hurting his body.After changing his clothes, he leaned back on the couch, embraced a carmine-glazed porcelain pillow, and breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no smile on his face.

Ran Tao also suppressed his smile, not only to make Empress Dowager Sun agree to the envoy's audience, but also in the Hall of Yanhe, His Majesty must have suffered a lot of grievances, and the circles of his eyes are still red.It's just that Zhao Cong didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask.

She frowned slightly, took the porcelain bowl from the maid of honor, put it on the low table, and said softly: "There are cherries in the ice and snow licorice cold water, Your Majesty should use less."

The porcelain bowl is small and delicate, it is only half full, the ice has not yet melted, and there are a few cherries dotted in it, making it cool to look at.It's not that the palace is stingy, and they don't even let him eat this.It was because he was too weak to eat so much.

Zhao Cong looked at the cherries in the cold water, but couldn't help but think of watermelon, which is a must-have fruit in summer.At this time, there are no watermelons in this dynasty.It's a pity that he was not a historian, botanist, or military scientist in his previous life, and he knew nothing about these.People who travel through time have to invent something, but he can't invent anything.

He can indeed guide all kinds of jugglers in Washeri, Goulan, but only someone who dares to be guided by him, besides, he is the emperor, such a thing can't be done at all.

He laughed secretly, but he still remembered that the watermelon in his previous life had already been introduced to the Central Plains, but it was not called watermelon, but temporarily called cold melon.But the fact is that there are indeed no watermelons and no cold melons at this time.Watermelons originated from the Western Regions, Zhao Cong thought to himself, when he sent people to look for them in the territory of the Liao Kingdom, it would be considered as a contribution to the country. If they can be promoted in this dynasty, it will also benefit farming and mulberry, and let the people of the Song Dynasty enjoy Enjoy the food.

Zhao Cong didn't know that Ran Tao was worrying about his red eyes, and he reached out to take the bowl, when he suddenly asked, "Young Lord, you haven't woken up yet?"

When he went to the Hall of Yanhe with King Weijun, Zhao Shishi happened to be taking a nap.

"Not yet." Rantao shook his head.

"When he wakes up, let him drink some of this cold water, but it should be less, and he can eat more cherries."

Rantao bowed his legs and bowed: "Your Majesty said that the tea ceremony was well done."

"She's a good girl, I'll reward her later." Zhao Cong drank the little cold water, and it really cooled off a lot.He was too lazy to eat cherries, so he leaned back, hugging the porcelain pillow and trying to close his eyes.

Knowing that he was going to take a nap, Rantao turned around to get the silk quilt to cover him.

Rantao lightly picked up the feather fan and fanned Zhao Cong, Zhao Cong soon fell asleep.

There was silence in the inner room, until suddenly someone hurried in and said anxiously: "Your Majesty!—"

Rantao put down the feather fan in displeasure, stepped forward softly, and dragged the little maid out, not daring to say a word for fear of disturbing Zhao Cong's sleep.

She was about to reprimand Zhao Cong from inside and asked, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, it's okay, you continue to rest."

"Let her in, I heard her voice is very anxious."

Rantao glared at the little maid, and finally led her in.

Zhao Cong sat up propped up, leaned on the soft cushion, and asked lazily, "What do you mean?"

The little palace maid knelt down on the ground, anxiously and fearfully said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao Lang has not woken up. The servant girl and Sister Chaxi only think of him—"

Zhao Cong interrupted her impatiently: "How is he?"

"Xiao Langjun actually passed out!"

The room was quiet, and after a few breaths, Zhao Cong hurriedly got off the bed and hurriedly put on his shoes.Ran Tao stepped forward to help him put on his shoes, just as he put them on, Zhao Cong had already gone outside.

Ran Tao turned her head and glared at the little maid again. In her eyes, His Majesty is the first one, and she only has His Majesty in her eyes.That little gentleman coaxed His Majesty to be happy, so he stayed in the Palace of Funing, no problem.But at this time, His Majesty is not having a good time, so why should he be affected?

She frowned, followed Zhao Cong, and went to the side hall together.
