Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

Liu En nodded: "This is the only possibility. Otherwise, with Bao Zheng's honest and frugal temperament, how could he hire a sedan chair for Mrs. Li?"

A sedan chair is not a carriage.The carriage is drawn by horses, and the sedan chair is carried by people.

If you want to hire a sedan chair, you have to hire two or more live people to carry the sedan chair at the same time.

Along the way, these two people had to spend money for food, drink, and lodging.

Humans are not horses, and horses can spend the night just by tying them to a tree. Humans are not so easy to serve.

Anyone can be a bearer, and they have to go through special training, otherwise they will fall into the ditch even with the sedan chair.

Therefore, the rich families raise their own bearers, and the poorer ones would rather ride oxen, horses or even donkeys than take a sedan chair.

The bearers hired outside, who knows how professional they are.

Bao Zheng is a big official now, so the yamen naturally provided him with a sedan chair for going to court.But he left Beijing this time to get married, not on a business trip. Naturally, he didn't take the sedan chair of the yamen, but drove a carriage with Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce and others to the hermit village.

When he returned to Beijing from other places, the bearers naturally had to follow him for a long distance.That is to say, when Bao Zheng took this old lady Li back to Bianliang, he had to pay the bearers another toll, and told them to carry the sedan chair all the way back home.

This tossing is expensive enough.

In the whole world, the old lady worthy of Bao Zheng's expense is still surnamed Li...

Zhao Yiyi smiled wryly.

Sure enough, his mother is back!

He rubbed his fingers: "Tell me, everything has been rushed together. Now the Eight Sage Kings are having a good time, and there is another Empress Dowager Li. Tell me about this..."

and many more……

wrong……

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Liu En: "Tell me," he hesitated, "Is it possible..."

Is it possible to use the matter of Empress Li's return to court so that the Eight Sage Kings will no longer pester him?

Liu Endao: "It may not be a bad thing for Empress Dowager Li to return to court at this time."

Zhao Yiyi patted him on the shoulder: "The two of us want to go together."

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became: "Bao Zheng is worthy of being my Wenqu Xingjun! I am here full of worries, so he sent me Wangyou San."

The Eight Wise Kings have not had any substantial influence on him now, but they have to lecture him every time they go to court and give him a book.It's okay, it's just annoying.

What is really hateful is that the censors, who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, take the opportunity to stir up wind and rain, saying that the emperor is not filial to his father, which is too ruthless.

As long as the Eight Wise Kings stop handing out memorials to court, this farce will almost be over.

On the Yushi side, when the next breaking news comes out, the attention will be diverted, and they will no longer hold on to the emperor and his own father.

The big deal is to ask Bao Zheng and Fan Zhongyan to be more restrained and restrained.

There is only one reason why the Baxian King was able to give him the memorial so persistently. He believed that he was the emperor's own father and had the obligation to control the emperor.

At the same time, he also relied on the fact that he was the emperor's father in name, and the emperor did not dare to do anything to him, so he was confident.

If someone else bothered him so much every day, he would have sent him to Yazhou to be with Ding Wei long ago.

The emperor is very busy every day, and I really don't have time to listen to you explaining the truth over and over again.

What the Eight Sage Kings rely on and rely on is only the title of "the emperor's biological father".

He knows that he is not the emperor's father, but he feels that anyway, I have raised the emperor for so many years, and it is better if I am not my own.

At this time, what if the real biological mother of the emperor returns?

In the cognition of the Eight Sage Kings, both Song Zhenzong and the Li family have passed away, and he is the only elder who is relatively close to the emperor alive—not counting Liu E—and has the obligation to control him, so he is clearly not the emperor. In the case of his biological father, he also insisted on putting on a strict father's airs.

What if Mrs. Li came back?

King Baxian is an upright gentleman, and his morality does not allow him to continue pretending to be the emperor's biological father when he knows that Li is still alive.

His mother is still there, why is your uncle meddling in your business?

In ordinary families, uncles may also be male elders, so they have more control over the next generation than mothers.

But in Royal, it doesn't exist.

The queen mother is the king, and the prince is the minister.

The queen mother is the emperor's mother and can control the emperor. The prince is the emperor's courtier and has no right to dictate to the emperor.

Unless the circumstances are extremely special, for example, the queen mother is about to kill the emperor and ascend the throne herself, only the prince may stand up to maintain the rule of the royal family.

In other cases, the prince basically has to stand aside.

If it weren't for the fact that the Baxian King is currently the emperor's biological father in name, his behavior of admonishing the emperor these days before was actually very inappropriate.

Therefore, once Empress Dowager Li came back, it would be impossible for the Eight Sage Kings to do anything based on being the emperor's biological father.

After all, in his heart, the etiquette of monarchs and ministers is very important.

If he still handed out memorials to the emperor every day like now, the Empress Dowager Li asked someone to ask him later, saying that the eighth emperor brother, clan relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, why do you go to the court every day to persuade the emperor to remove the post of privy envoy?

What can the eight wise kings say?

Said that I am the emperor's own father?

How could he speak in front of the emperor's real mother?

Say that I am the emperor's uncle and I have the obligation to control him--my mother is right in front of me, why do you need an uncle like you to meddle in my own business?

Therefore, as soon as Li Hou appeared on the stage, he immediately restrained the Eight Sage Kings to death.

Even if Empress Li directly stated that the eighth brother, the emperor was raised by you, even if you go to persuade him, the eight sage kings will no longer be as righteous as before.

After all, he is not really greedy for the power and glory brought by the identity of the emperor's biological father, but just wants to control a disobedient child.

Therefore, as long as Empress Li appeared, the Eight Sage Kings would never assume the role of the emperor's biological father again—without a position and a reason, it would be impossible to continue admonishing him.

Zhao Yiyi let out a long sigh of relief: "Good guy, I can finally let the old man go home and rest."

To be honest, after such a long time, the Eight Wise Kings were not tired, but he was too.

"By the way," he asked Liu En: "When Bao Zheng returned to Beijing, who did he visit first?"

Since Bao Zheng brought the queen mother back to Beijing, he came here to help her find her identity.

Even if he is the second-in-command of Yushitai, he is not qualified to interfere with the emperor's housework, so he must find a good enough helper.

This helper has to be a decent person, otherwise it would be ridiculous to sell you backhanded.

Don't look at the empress dowager's decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, after a desperate fight, do you still worry about not being able to take you and this old woman who has no one to rely on but you?

Liu Endao: "He went to find Fan Zhongyan."

Zhao Yiyi was slightly stunned: "Why don't you go directly to the Eight Sage Kings?"

According to the plot, Bao Zheng should go directly to the Eight Sage Kings, take the opportunity of celebrating Di Niangniang's birthday to let Li Hou and Di Niangniang meet first, and then stop the emperor who came to celebrate his birthday on the birthday——

Zhao Yiyi slapped his head.

Stupid is not.

Although he had reached a short-term cooperation with the Eight Sage Kings when handling the case of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, Bao Zheng also joined the line of the Eight Sage Kings at that time, but he didn't look at what time it is now!

The Eight Worthy Kings are having a quarrel with the emperor, and the whole Nanqing Palace is covered with dark clouds, not to mention Di Niangniang's birthday is still half a year away, even if it is tomorrow, it is impossible to make a fuss.

Under such circumstances, how did Bao Zheng let his new wife's aunt meet Di Niangniang?And how did Zhao Yiyi see his aunt?

After much deliberation, I had no choice but to go to Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Zhongyan is Zhao Yiyi's prime minister, has a close relationship with him, and is about to become his cousin's father-in-law.

Compared with the Nanqing Palace, which was in chaos and chaos, Fan Zhongyan's line is a better choice.

But in the end they will still go to the Nanqing Palace, because it is impossible to win the trust of the emperor based on the words of Empress Li and Bao Zheng's family. Only the eight virtuous kings and his wife can testify that the replacement of the civet cat for the prince can really be confirmed.

Zhao Yiyi asked, "What did Fan Zhongyan say?"

After Fan Zhongyan knew the truth of the matter, he would definitely support the emperor's mother and son to recognize each other.

It's just that after mother and son recognize each other, what should be done with Empress Li's identity...

It is impossible to directly tell the world that this is the emperor's mother. Liu E has been in charge of politics for so many years, and suddenly the queen mother is not the queen mother. The blow to the ruling and opposition parties is too great.

When it is spread to foreign countries, it has a bad reputation.

Then, a new identity must be given to her.This new identity must be dignified enough and close enough to the emperor, preferably similar to the mother-child relationship...

"If it's Fan Zhongyan, he should suggest that I recognize Mrs. Li as a nurse and make her the wife of the county."

Liu En nodded: "This seems to be the best. It's just that Bao Zheng and the others have just gotten through with Fan Xiang, and they haven't gotten to the Nanqing Palace yet."

Zhao Yiyi looked at him: "There is only one connection between Fan Zhongyan and Nanqing Palace——"

It was Di Qing.

Di Qing is going to marry Fan Zhongyan's daughter, who is Niangniang Niang's nephew.The Eight Sage Kings are now at odds with the emperor, but Di Niangniang is still the emperor's biological mother in name.Through the line of Di Qing and Di Niangniang, it is feasible to avoid the Eight Sage Kings and directly connect to the Emperor.

Zhao Yiyi said: "Is there any women's jewelry in the inner treasury of our palace?"

Liu Endao: "There is something."

Zhao Yiyi said: "Please ask the queen to pack a few pieces without dragon and phoenix patterns, and send them to Niang Niangniang, so that she can add makeup to Miss Fan."

Di Qing is his cousin, and of course the queen's cousin.It's only natural for a cousin to add makeup to her cousin's daughter-in-law.

Liu En said with a smile: "I gave you a few candles before, which led to such a bunch of things. Now you dare to give jewelry?"

Zhao Yiyi scolded with a smile: "If you are told to go, you can go, why are there so many nonsense!"

Niangniang Di puts on Miss Fan's make-up, and she has to see her in person, after all, she is going to be her nephew and daughter-in-law.

Fan Zhongyan should not let go of this great opportunity, and will definitely let Queen Li mix into the entourage.

Di Niangniang and Li Hou are handkerchiefs, and they have a deep relationship.

After the two met, the truth would naturally come to light, and it would not affect Miss Fan's image in Niangniang Di's mind.

Liu En said: "Why should I go? I'll ask someone else to go."

He also went to the corridor to greet the little eunuch, and told him to go to the queen's palace, ask the queen to pack some jewelry, and add makeup to Miss Fan through the hands of Princess Di.

Zhao Yiyi shook his head in a fuss: "All robots know that they are lazy, and the world is going to be in chaos."
