Chapter 1838: Clever Method

Zhao Xu seemed to be in good spirits, indicating that Shi Wei had controlled the inflammation, so he ignored the dissuasion and continued to go to work and met with the ministers at Wuying Palace.

Since the beginning of military affairs, the emperor has changed to handle government affairs in Wuying Hall, which has become a rule of the Song Dynasty.

However, weakness and weight loss are unavoidable. Seeing that Zhao Xu had become somewhat out of shape in just a few days, Zhang Dun's hard-hearted heart could not help but be touched: "Old minister, please stay with me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu waved his hand: "Has the news come from Zhong'e?"

Big interspersion and big cutting, this kind of tactics had never been tried before in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Xu was not at a loss, so he asked this question first.

Zhang Dun bowed and said: "There is no news yet, but what I wanted to talk to Su Cixiang today is not about this matter."

Zhao Xu said: "Mr. Zhang still doesn't believe Mrs. Guo?"

Su Yuanzhen hurriedly said: "It's not that we don't believe in Mrs. Guo, but that we should make a plan. The young minister and Situ were both taught by Duke Changqi. In fact, when I started to receive education, I was taught by Situ. For Mrs. Guo, I have been since childhood.

I know him well and have always admired his medical skills and conduct."

"Oh?" Zhao Xu was slightly curious: "Neither Situ nor the bachelor mentioned this matter."

Su Yuanzhen bowed and said: "Since I have pledged my life to the country, I cannot have many personal relationships, because the duties of a minister have always been to speak to officials; and the duties of a Situ have always been to practical matters. Therefore, after joining the official position,

I dare not be careless and drift away, and I am very sorry."

"But what I want to say today is that your majesty is concerned about the safety of the world, and it is not a trivial matter to have a caesarean section to treat illnesses. If Situ were here, he would definitely agree with my husband and my suggestion; if the two governments discuss it, I am afraid of the final result

, and it is even more advanced than what I and Mr. Zhang have suggested today.”

Zhang Dun said: "Yesterday, I discussed with Su Cixiang again, and I still want to ask your Majesty to issue an edict and make the prince Zhao Mao, Duke of Shu County, the crown prince to inform the world and calm people's hearts."

It seems that Zhang Dun is interfering in the appointment of the heir to the throne. In fact, this is already a concession by the Prime Minister. After all, Zhao Mao is Zhao Xu's eldest son. Even if there is a medical problem, the throne will eventually be inherited by Zhao Xu's heirs.

Zhao Xu's abdomen began to hurt again, but he still shook his head firmly: "It's inappropriate. No matter whether the result is good or evil, it will not be good for Mao'er in the future."

This is also a well-thought-out statement. Zhao Xu is still very young. If he were to establish a heir today, he might have a long-term crown prince.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established a crown prince at the age of thirty-six, and caused a witchcraft disaster at the age of sixty-seven. Almost none of his sons or daughters had a happy ending except for those who died young. He lived too long, causing the prince to remain on the throne for twenty-nine years. The suspicion between father and son allowed powerful officials to take advantage of the loopholes.

, is also one of the important reasons.

"But His Majesty's condition cannot be delayed any longer..." Su Yuanzhen suddenly became anxious when she saw that Zhao Xu started to look in pain again.

Zhao Xu pressed his abdomen with his hand: "There is another way to summon Situ to the capital urgently..."

"How to do it?!" Zhang Dun's temper was rising again: "The Sixteen Provinces of Youyun will soon be pacified. China was completely humiliated a hundred years ago, and the Imperial Song Dynasty has a thousand years of foundation. How can we recall Situ at this time and abandon the past?

achievement?!"

A voice sounded outside the door: "But I'm back."

Immediately after, a panting old Huang Mencai lowered himself to the ground in panic and reported: "Your Majesty, Situ, please see me. I am... I am unable to inform you in time. Please forgive me."

When Zhao Xu saw Su You, his expression immediately relaxed: "Liang Neiguan, don't be panic, go down."

The old internal official is Liang Weijian, an old man from the Gao Taotao period.

The harem has gone through several rotations, and not many of the old ministers who were promoted by Gao Taotao can still stay in the palace now.

Zhang Shiliang was at the side of the Queen Mother that night when Gao Taotao established Zhao Xu. He was regarded as one.

And the dragon robe that night was one that Gao Taotao secretly asked Liang Weijian to have his wife make in advance.

However, Liang Weijian is now the highest-ranking imperial official. He has been appointed as the imperial eunuch of the province, and today he has become Xihua Gate and Huangmen Xuanyu. This shows that the palace is already very nervous.

Seeing Zhao Xu's appearance, Su You was relieved and felt relieved again: "Your Majesty, Su You, may I ask about your Majesty's daily life?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Situ is here, everything is safe. How are you on the front line?"

Su You saluted again and said softly: "Your Majesty, Su You, may I ask how your Majesty is doing."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but show a hint of shame: "Situ is tired from running around and working hard, and his eyes are bloodshot. Xianqing said that he needed immediate surgery, but the prime ministers wouldn't let him."

Zhang Dun was dumbfounded. Is this a great patient? He can just tell lies and come here?!

Su You didn't give Zhao Xu a chance to prevaricate: "May I ask, Your Majesty, why the governors refused to give in?"

Zhao Xu finally said: "The princes want me to... establish a heir apparent."

Seeing that Zhao Xu finally recognized him, Su You said: "The front line has not changed much, so there is no need for your Majesty to worry about the military aspect."

"However, I have arrived from Feizhou, but there has been no news for fifteen hours. The current Four-Road Transport Department is Chaogu Chaojiedu, and I have ordered him to take over temporarily."

Zhang Dun was immediately worried: "Mingrun, how could you do this? How could you leave the army behind like this when the army is out there?"

Su You said: "The intelligence received by Bazhou is actually within a few hours of that of the Military Aircraft Department. Before your Majesty's meeting, I had gone to the Military Aircraft Department to handle official business and asked Bachelor Zhang to take command temporarily. If you are not at ease, sir, you can

Find him and ask."

Zhang Dun nodded and was about to speak, but Su Yuanzhen said: "No need, Mr. Xiang and Situ will continue to discuss matters. I'll just go and see Bachelor Zhang."

Zhang Dun couldn't help but be very grateful to Su Yuanzhen in his heart. His actions today were inevitably not recorded in the notebook by His Majesty.

Now that Mingrun is here, he has a big boss to take care of everything, so he can help by himself and get his share back.

But he secretly sighed in his heart, after all, he was not as loyal as Su Mingrun. If he was in Bazhou, he might not be able to summon the twelve gold medals back. How could he rush from the front line thousands of miles away to the imperial court within fifteen hours?

Su You said: "Actually, the advice given by Zhang Xianggong and Su Yuanzhen was also out of public concern. Everything is done according to the authority, and arrangements are made in advance just in case. This is the natural responsibility of the prime minister."

Zhang Dun just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Su You say: "Your Majesty's thinking is far-sighted. In your prime years, your Majesty established the crown prince early, which created too many variables for the future, and also allowed the ministers to get a glimpse of the king's intentions.

There will be trouble."

"The lessons from the Han and Tang Dynasties are not far away, so we must pay attention to them."

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "What Situ said has won my heart. I completely trust Mrs. Guo's medical skills, so I don't think it is necessary."

"That's not the case." Su You said, "Since our husbands are worried about any eventuality, we should think of countermeasures for this eventuality."

"My lord, here is a way to have both ends."

Zhang Dun felt that his IQ had been crushed. How could he still have both?

He couldn't help but raise his hands and said: "Mingrun, I don't know what to do?"

Su You took something out of his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is my secret box. Only I and Your Majesty have the key. Your Majesty's key is inside the box now."

"Your Majesty may wish to drive to the Zichen Palace, declare his decree, and store the imperial edict of establishing the crown prince in a box behind the plaque in the Zichen Palace."

"The Zichen Palace attracts much attention, and there are palace guards on duty on weekdays. Without a long ladder, no one can go up."

"In this way, His Majesty's will already exists, but all the ministers do not know the details and have no way of predicting it. They can only perform their duties and find it difficult to use their wits."

"However, this is only a temporary solution. Once Your Majesty is in good health, you can order someone to take back the box and destroy the hidden edict."

Su You's meaning was very clear. If Zhao Xu was fine, then this edict would not exist, the Song Dynasty would not have established a prince, and disasters like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have happened.

If something really happened to Zhao Xu, this edict would only take effect, and the Song Dynasty would not be afraid of not having a successor designated by Zhao Xu himself.

The method is so simple that it is almost child's play, but the effect is excellent.

However, before Su You brought it up, no one could have imagined that Su Yuanzhen, who was rushing back, happened to hear this and couldn't help but blush with embarrassment along with Zhang Dun.

Just for this trivial matter, Situ was so tired that he put down his military affairs and traveled thousands of miles. He was really unworthy of a man!
