Just afternoon, the palace gate was suddenly closed, and the guards suddenly tripled. There were patrolling people everywhere, and the murderous aura made people shudder.

The palace gate has always been rules. It will never be closed when it should be opened, and it will never be opened when it should be closed.

Not long ago, because Wang Ning'an was assassinated, the palace gate had to be opened at night. That time, the incident was quite a big deal, especially when Wang Ning'an opened the city gate without authorization and arrested the gatekeeper.

Although the city gate is not as good as the palace gate, Wang Ning'an was also fined and his half-year salary was waived. Although the money was not much, it was enough for Wang Ning'an to feel pain.

This time the situation was the opposite. The palace gate was closed in advance and was on high alert, and everyone had bad thoughts.

Since last year, Zhao Zhen’s health has been in poor health. After the winter has begun, everyone knows how many times he has become sick. The old emperor may not have been able to hold on for a long time, but winter has passed, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the yang energy is rising. It is said that there shouldn’t be a problem, so why did he suddenly fall ill?

Some people were wondering, but the emperor was seriously ill. Who dared to take such a big deal? The entire capital immediately moved, not only the officialdom, but also countless pairs of eyes in the dark, also stared at the palace.

For example, there is a thin old man with a beard on his face and a deep and sharp gaze like an eagle. His eyes are full of strange feelings. Ordinary people dare not look at him at all. If they have been watching for a long time, they may even kneel down and worship him.

This person is the elder from Eagle Castle and the confidant of the old man in the mountains.

Mousavi was just a humble slave in front of him.

Since the Song Dynasty formed an alliance with Seljuk, the pressure on Eagle Fort suddenly increased. Maliksha returned to Seljuk. He told his father all he saw and heard. The two of them talked for three days and three nights in a row. Maliksha presented the books he brought from the Song Dynasty to his father, and enthusiastically introduced the various systems of the Song Dynasty. He believed that if Seljuk wanted to be stable for a long time, he must learn from the Song Dynasty's civil servant system.

At the same time, we must not tolerate Eagle Castle!

Seljuk's attitude changed. As the owner of Eagle Fort, the old man in the mountains naturally noticed that his students changed their faces when they went to Da Song.

Huo Shan had no choice but to send the smartest elder to the Song Dynasty to observe this powerful empire and find out the details.

The old man looked at the direction of the palace. Although he had only been in the Song Dynasty for a month, he already knew that the master of this empire was an old emperor who had been a 42-year-old man, and he was deeply loved and respected by his subjects.

According to experience, usually when a powerful emperor dies in an empire, he will face chaos. The emperor's sons have to fight for power and power, and the civil and military officials and their subordinates have to make trouble.

Some will take a long time to make trouble, and some will even split the empire and be directly destroyed by the enemy.

In Persia and in Dashi, this situation is endless.

Perhaps God was jealous of the wealth of the Song Dynasty and wanted to take away the great emperors and put the country in a disintegration of civil strife. Come on quickly! It’s going to be in chaos!

Only when you get in chaos can Eagle Castle have a chance. Mount Alamut is too small, and the brilliance of God needs to shine on the entire East!

Like this elder, there are many people looking forward to trouble in the Song Dynasty.

But I have to say that they are going to be disappointed again.

Zhao Zhen had already started to make arrangements. Although he was suddenly ill, the whole situation was almost done.

Especially after Wang Ning'an entered the government hall, all the original troubles were suppressed, and no one dared to cause trouble at this time. On the contrary, officials from top to bottom were extremely careful. At this moment, there was no place to seek justice if they made a mistake after losing their heads!

The whole of Luoyang was in tension and orderly.

Wang Ning'an and Prime Minister Ouyang Xiu came to the palace gate together. They had just received the imperial edict and asked them to visit the palace.

"Oh, Erlang, I believe you have been prepared for a long time, so I will not be able to slap. As ministers, we must make sure that the saints can leave with peace of mind, show courage, preside over the overall situation, and eliminate sluts!"

Wang Ning'an nodded, "Please rest assured by the drunkard."

The two of them handed over the signs and entered the palace according to the rules.

Unlike usual, it seemed that many eunuchs and guards had emerged from the ground, one post at three steps and one whistle at five steps. They all looked serious, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Wang Ning'an and Ouyang Xiu came to the door of the bedroom. Zhao Shu received the news and was already waiting.

"Your Highness, what is the body of the saint?"

Zhao Shu sighed with a sad voice, his face looking ugly.

"My father was fine, so I accompanied him to the imperial city to see the scenery. My father also said he wanted to drink donkey meat soup. But I didn't know that as soon as the soup was bought, my father fainted!" Zhao Shu said sadly: "Doctor Qian has already gone in to ask for his father's pulse. I'm afraid that my father will be very sad."

Zhao Shu explained the situation, and Wang Ning'an and Ouyang Xiu both raised their hearts. Obviously, the situation was not good.

After they waited for a while, Qian Yi walked out of it, and his brows became a lump.

When he saw Wang Ning'an, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head again.

"The saint is awake!"

"ah!"

Zhao Shu hurriedly asked, "Mr. Qian, is your father okay?"

Qian Yi did not answer immediately, but shook his head. At this moment, tears flowed from the corners of Zhao Shu's eyes. After all, he was just a teenager. His father, who had been caring for him, was leaving and the sky was falling.

Wang Ning'an patted Zhao Shu's back of his hand and whispered: "Your Highness, let's finish your words when Dr. Qian!"

Zhao Shu quickly wiped his tears.

"Mr. Qian, how long can he last...?"

"This is hard to say. Maybe one day, maybe ten days, or half a month... But the dragon body is too weak, even... it's no difference."

Hearing this, Zhao Shu's body shook and almost fell down. Wang Ning'an immediately supported him. He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Qian, what is the saint's explanation?"

"Yes, the saint asked the prince to go in immediately."

Wang Ning'an was stunned for a moment, "I'm the only one?"

"Um!"

"Okay, Your Highness, Drunken Old Man, you wait first."

Wang Ning'an stepped directly into the bedroom. In fact, the moment he walked in, he had guessed what Zhao Zhen wanted to say. So Wang Ning'an quickly stepped in front of the dragon bed and leaned over to grab Zhao Zhen's arm. At this moment, Zhao Zhen's turbid eyes moved, and he opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Wang Ning'an immediately came to Zhao Zhen's ear and resisted the urge to cry.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of remorse what I promised Your Majesty last time. I will do my best to assist Your Highness to prosper the Song Dynasty. If you are not in the right way, you are willing to thunder and thousands of arrows pierce the heart!"

After hearing this, tears rolled down from the corners of Zhao Zhen's eyes and he nodded slightly.

"I... father and son, how lucky I am, how lucky I can, can get it, Jing Ping assists!"

A simple sentence has exhausted most of Zhao Zhen's efforts. Wang Ning'an hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I will invite the prince. Your Majesty will keep your energy and tell the prince."

After saying that, Wang Ning'an withdrew.

Zhao Shu went in to serve his father again, and Wang Ning'an sat quietly outside the hall.

To be honest, he has seen separation from life and death over the years.

For example, when Old Lady Zhe was a hundred years old, she was lying on her husband's corpse and smiled in the air; for example, her husband Fan Zhongyan worked hard all her life for the Song Dynasty and the people; for example, Bao Zheng was honest and self-righteous, which made people provoke his all, and even Han Qi, before he died, he found that there were too many people, almost no one counted.

Wang Ning'an felt that he had already developed a heart of iron and no more fluctuations.

But I have to say that when he saw Zhao Zhen’s withered and full of death, Wang Ning'an’s heart seemed to be stabbed, and it hurts very much!

Human feelings come from the process.

Over the years, Zhao Zhen has promoted and valued him, regarded him as his son and nephew, given him a broad stage, and allowed him to gallop... As a powerful minister, he has achieved his best as a general and a prime minister, and he has made him a title of marquis and ministers.

Over the years, Zhao Zhen has not been restricted by Wang Ning'an, but Uncle Zhao has always treated him with sincerity. He has not manipulated his ministers at will and even tortured his ministers like those foolish monarchs who are intoxicated with the skills of emperors.

If the differences between the king and his subjects were probably due to the fact that after the Battle of Hengshan, three imperial envoys were sent to cause chaos in the northwest, then Zhao Zhen reflected on his mistakes and even made him the King of Xiliang, Ning'an, and gave him a fiefdom for thousands of miles.

Wang Ning'an was so kind to treat, and he was moved, but he was moved.

Until some time ago, Zhao Zhen entrusted the Political Affairs Hall to him and handed over the prince to him.

This trust is even much more than that of Baidi City. Liu Bei entrusts Zhuge Liang to the orphanage.

Your Majesty has never let me down, and I will not let you down.

Wang Ning'an clenched his fists. He had promised Zhao Zhen that he would do it.

At this moment, Zhao Shu came out again, with tears on his face. Obviously, he had just cried, and he walked directly to Wang Ning'an, with disbelief on his face!

"Master, how could you agree to such conditions? The disciples and the people of the Song Dynasty cannot do without you!"

As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Xiu next to him was frightened, and he thought to himself, Wang Erlang, what trick did you play with His Majesty and what did you agree to?

Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and almost begged, "The father just said, he is willing to take it back, Master, you, can you take it back too?"

Wang Ning'an smiled faintly, "Your Highness, I have always been a minister of the Song Dynasty. No matter where I am, I will not change. As for what I promise Your Majesty, it is not a restriction, on the contrary, it is a protection! Master does not want to stay in one position, sit in a position and get sores, which makes everyone despise. How great is the world? Master wants to experience it well. Your Highness, you are not allowed to harm me!"

Zhao Shu pouted and said angrily: "Master, you are too cunning. Wait, wait, and in the future, the disciple will abdicate and then look around!"

Listening to the words of the master and apprentice, Ouyang Xiu was a little confused.

"Erlang, Your Highness, can you explain it clearly? What is the condition? Let me listen to it and be a proof for you!"

Wang Ning'an and Zhao Shu looked at each other, and then replied in unison to the drunkard.

"You are old, so keep getting drunk!"

Three days later, Zhao Zhen passed away with a smile, and the whole country was mourning...

History is full of dust
