Chapter 14 The Resistance of Kou Zhun's Return to the DPRK
Imperial Palace, Yanqing Hall.
Bang.
Emperor Zhao Heng lay on the dragon throne with an angry face and knocked the plate at hand to the ground.
"It's outrageous!"
"Unreasonable!"
"Even if Li Di is gone, is Kou Zhun going to follow the prince to make trouble? What does the prince grow up and should do something to benefit the people? Kou Zhun did it on purpose, and he was blaming me for giving him off his precepts..."
Zhao Heng's roar resounded throughout the hall.
The reason for getting angry is also very simple.
When the prince went to Pingshan to farm, Zhao Heng sent two important officials one after another. He thought he could easily bring Zhao Zhen back, but who knew that Li Di would not come back at all. Kou Zhun went there and said he couldn't control it...
Liu E comforted him: "The official family is angry. Li Di and Kou Zhun deceive the king. This is a serious crime. According to my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the situation to dismiss Li Di and demote Kou Zhun to Leizhou, and let the civil and military officials in the court see it. This is the end of deceiving the king!"
Ding Wei said in a jealous way: "What the Empress said is very true. Li Di is the prime minister now, and Kou Zhun is the crown prince's tutor. These two men not only advised the crown prince, but instead indulged the crown prince to make mistakes and had bad intentions and should be demoted!"
Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Heng, then looked at Liu E, but didn't say anything.
Zhao Heng knew in his heart that although Ding Wei was pleasant, he was not good at governing the country and could not even control all officials. Although Kou Zhun and Li Di were annoying, they had a high prestige among all officials. These two people must not both leave the court.
At this moment, Zhou Huaizheng hurried in and reported: "The official family, just now, Xianggong Li was seriously ill and was sent back to the Li Mansion!"
Um?
Zhao Heng was stunned and asked, "Li Aiqing has always been strong, why is he suddenly seriously ill?"
Zhou Huaizheng said: "According to people from the Li family, Mr. Li ate many popsicles in Pingshan and held ice cubes when he was sleeping at night, so he became sick."
Zhao Heng hurriedly said, "The imperial doctor quickly went to Li's mansion to treat Li Aiqing."
Zhou Huaizheng hurried to the imperial doctor Xuan to leave the palace.
Zhao Heng and others were waiting for news in Yanqing Hall.
As time goes by, Yanqing Palace becomes hotter and hotter, and even if there are several palace maids shaking huge fans around it, it will be useless.
Zhao Heng said depressedly: "I am in the palace and it is so hot that I can't even get enough to eat a piece of ice. Li Di is fine, but eating ice is ruined."
Liu E's eyes lit up, "Official family, no one in the world knows, only the ice cellar in the palace, where does the ice Li Di eat come from?"
Ding Wei added: "The officials, the ministers think that Li Di's private ice storage but does not submit it is a serious crime to deceive the emperor."
Zhao Heng said in a deep voice: "Come on, go check!"
...
Zhou Huaizheng hurried back to Yanqing Hall, "I have reported to the official family that the ice ate of Xianggong Li was invented by His Highness the Crown Prince. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince knew the magic of immortals, and it could be said that water turned into ice. Not only Xianggong Li, but also the farmers on Pingshan, could eat popsicles every day."
Zhao Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Sign up to ice? Could it be that this is the immortal art taught to Zhen'er by the immortal. It's so good. Zhou Huaizheng quickly sent someone to Pingshan to pass on my oral order, asking the prince to send the ice to the palace, and send the technique of making ice to the water..."
Zhou Huaizheng left in a hurry again.
Everyone looked forward to the arrival of the ice.
This year's Bianjing City is getting hotter than in previous years.
Zhao Heng, who was weak, felt most tortured.
Ding Wei's eyes rolled and said, "The government is now not only hot in the palace, but also suffering from the heat. The Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture reported yesterday that for half a month, people fainted from heatstroke on the streets of Bianjing City... It would be better to hand over the ice-making technique of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Sansi, and the Sansi convened people to make ice and distribute it to the people. At that time, the people will definitely praise the kindness of the officials!"
After hearing this, Zhao Heng nodded deeply: "Since that's the case, let the Qing family take charge of this matter."
However, Ding Wei wants to benefit the people is fake, and defrauding ice making is real.
This guy had already started to think that after getting the ice making technique, Dingfu would make the ice by himself and sell it at a high price. He could make a lot of money every summer.
Thinking of it, he looked proud.
Just as Ding Wei was planning, Zhou Huaizheng had already rushed back.
Zhou Huaizheng said: "The official family, the young man sent someone to Pingshan to ride a fast horse. When he saw His Highness, his Highness said... He could hand over the ice making technique, but the official family would agree to him with a condition."
Zhao Heng frowned: "What conditions?"
Zhou Huaizheng said: "Your Highness said that now that Prince Li has gone to Pingshan, there are only one of the three prime ministers left in the court. He was deeply uneasy and asked the official to issue an order to summon Kou Zhun to return to the court and serve as prime minister."
After hearing this, Zhao Heng pondered: "I thought Zhen'er's condition was for himself. Who would have thought that he wanted Kou Zhun to return to the court, this matter..."
Zhao Heng was still happy that Kou Zhun would come back.
Although Kou Zhun likes to scold people, his ability to manage politics is far higher than that of Ding Wei.
With Kou Zhun in charge, the court can be kept from chaos.
What's more, Zhao Heng had complex personal feelings towards Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun made an indelible contribution to being made the crown prince and successfully becoming emperor.
On the side, Ding Wei and Liu E's hearts were beating wildly.
Ding Wei suddenly jumped out: "Officials must not be allowed. Kou Zhun and Yang Yi and others have formed cliques and made illegal plans. How can such an ambition be the prime minister!"
Liu E also opposed: "The official family, Kou Zhun was dismissed from the court for less than a month. If he was summoned to return to the court, how do all officials view the official family and the people of the world view it? Do the official family want to become a joke for the whole world?"
Liu E and Ding Wei and others joined forces and finally drove Kou Zhun away from the position of prime minister. Now Zhao Zhen actually wanted Kou Zhun to come back, so of course the two of them could not agree.
Zhao Heng was speechless!
Now Zhao Heng is no longer the emperor who was full of energy and led the Song Dynasty to the rule of Xianping. He is just an old charlatan who is addicted to practicing Taoism and obsessed with immortality.
...
Liu E, Ding Wei and others' reactions exceeded Zhao Heng's imagination.
The next day, Cao Yong, Wang Qinruo, Lin Te and others submitted a report, reprimanding Kou Zhun for his ambition and bewitching the emperor's heart.
Without Zhao Heng's permission, Liu E directly warned all officials that Kou Zhun would never serve as prime minister. Whoever dared to propose that Kou Zhun return to the court to serve as prime minister was dismissed from his official positions.
It basically cut off the possibility of Kou Zhun returning to the North Korea!
After Zhao Heng found out, he just scolded Liu E without any pain.
...
Kou Mansion.
Wang Shu was anxious.
Kou Zhun was confused and said, "Oh, Your Highness is young and doesn't know that the situation in the court is complicated. He actually wanted to use the so-called ice making technique to exchange for me to return to the court... Ice making technique is magical, but Liu E, Ding Wei and others regard me as thorns in their eyes and flesh. How can this work..."
Wang Shu said worriedly: "Originally, when the limelight passed, my father-in-law could still return to the position of prime minister. Now, your highness made such a stupid move and the queen directly cut off our retreat."
Kou Zhun gritted his teeth, "Uncle Hui, it is urgent to carry me to Pingshan. Li Di must return to the court, otherwise, our great Song Dynasty will be in danger!"
The father-in-law and son-in-law left Kou's mansion in a hurry and rushed to Pingshan.
Chapter completed!
