The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 4 See the Emperor

Still sitting on the chariot sedan chair, Zhao Yanxun staggered towards Xianfu Palace.

In fact, he would like to trot over by himself, so that he can exercise again, but this can only be thought about.

But what caught Zhao Yanxun's attention even more at this moment was why Concubine Duan summoned him at this time, presumably something important happened.

As for the major events related to him recently, only the courtiers asked him to go to the feudal clan, and it seemed that this matter had a result.

When Zhao Yanxun stepped out of the sedan chair outside the gate of Xianfu Palace, Lingsu, Concubine Duan's confidant, came out to welcome her.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you!"

Even Lingsu came out to welcome her, it seemed that the matter was not as serious as usual.

Zhao Yanxun didn't care about any etiquette, and walked directly into the Xianfu Palace, and came straight to Concubine Duan in the side hall.

But at this time, Concubine Duan's face was extremely ugly, and the hatred in her eyes seemed to be real.

"Mother Concubine, who made you angry?" Zhao Yanxun hurried forward, the mother-child relationship between the predecessor and Concubine Duan was difficult for Zhao Yanxun to suppress at this moment.

Concubine Duan grabbed Zhao Yanxun's sleeve and said angrily, "Xun'er... I am afraid that mother will part ways with you!"

From this sentence, Zhao Yanxun quickly analyzed that the matter of becoming king should be finalized.

This made him very happy. He was tied up in this palace, and he had long thought of escaping from here.

But now is not the time to be happy, Zhao Yanxun showed a slumped look, which made Concubine Duan very distressed.

Her four sons had died early, and now she had only one son, Zhao Yanxun, and she was absolutely reluctant to part with her.

"Xun'er, don't worry, as long as the official edict has not been issued, there is still a chance to turn this matter around!"

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was 1 unwilling, but he still nodded honestly.

"I will go with my mother and concubine to meet your father in a while, remember...don't say anything when you enter the hall, just cry!"

Zhao Yanxun felt speechless, it was really not enough to give up in the end, even the bitter scene was arranged.

What made him even more unexpected was that Concubine Duan was even more of an actionist. After speaking, she got up and pulled Zhao Yanxun to go out.

In desperation, Zhao Yanxun could only follow out.

The chariot sedan chair outside has been prepared, and the chariot sedan chair for Concubine Duan is also a special gift from the emperor. This is the honor and favor only available to empresses and imperial concubines.

The two chariot sedan chairs set off from Xianfu Palace, which easily attracted the attention of all parts of the harem. I don't know how many people were waiting to watch the fun.

The emperor's bedroom is called Qian'an Palace. When Zhao Yanxun came outside the gate of the palace, he was still awed by the majesty and solemnity here.

This place is the pinnacle of power in the entire Great Jin Dynasty. I don't know how many heroes in history fought for the throne in the hall.

There are so many beautiful mountains and rivers that attract countless heroes... Zhao Yanxun read the poems of great men in his heart.

Just after entering the palace gate, an old eunuch came out from inside, who looked kind and friendly.

But Zhao Yanxun knew that Chen Changhe, the chief executive of Qian'an Palace, was the most difficult person in the palace, otherwise he would not be able to secure his current position.

"Concubine Duan, why are you here!"

"Is the emperor in there? You go to report and say that the concubine begs to see you!"

Chen Changhe looked distressed, and said: "Your Majesty, at this moment the Emperor is discussing the state affairs with several cabinet elders, I'm afraid it's inconvenient!"

Concubine Duan is an extremely smart person, at this moment she has already guessed that the emperor does not want to see her, or dare not see her.

If it was other concubines, they would naturally go away wisely, but Concubine Duan is different.

"Then I will wait here. Whenever the emperor summons me, I will go in!"

Concubine Duan's categorical words made Zhao Yanxun refresh some cognitions. It turns out that this mother is a hero among women.

What a formidable person Chen Changhe is, facing Concubine Duan's helplessness, he can only go in and report at this moment.

After Chen Changhe left, Concubine Duan led Zhao Yanxun to continue walking, climbed the steps outside the main hall of Qian'an Palace, and waited quietly under the corridor.

Unlike Concubine Duan's deep thoughts, Zhao Yanxun is extremely relaxed at the moment, and even has the mind to look at the carved beams and paintings here.

After a while, footsteps sounded in the hall, and three old men in red official robes came out from inside.

Seeing Concubine Duan's mother and son outside, the elder in charge let out a cold snort, obviously hating them both.

But Concubine Duan didn't show any good looks, and even said: "Several pavilion elders, be careful of slippery roads, you won't be able to get up if you fall down at your age!"

These words made several cabinet ministers very angry, but Concubine Duan didn't give them a chance to get angry at all, so she dragged Zhao Yanxun into the hall.

Zhao Yanxun had no choice but to admire the mother's vigor, she just sneered at several cabinet ministers, and dared to break into the main hall of Qian'an Palace without being summoned.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhao Yanxun's voice came from Concubine Duan's ear: "What are you still doing? Crying!"

Concubine Duan's face was serious, Zhao Yanxun could only show her poor acting skills, and cried "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

The two walked through the hall, and soon came to the outside of the emperor's abode, only to hear Concubine Duan's "wow", and cried out.

"Your Majesty... the concubine is dead, you have to make the decision for the concubine!"

Compared to Zhao Yanxun's lame acting skills, Concubine Duan was crying like pear blossoms and rain at this moment, and the emperor on the throne hurriedly greeted her with such pitiful energy.

Supporting the concubine who was crying uncontrollably, the emperor, whose temples were already white, said soothingly: "Concubine love, why are you here!"

The voice is mellow but old-fashioned. Today's Tai'an Emperor Zhao Yongcheng is an old man over fifty years old.

Zhao Yanxun was still crying, but Concubine Duan gradually stopped crying under the comfort of the emperor, but there were not a lot of tears on her face.

"Your Majesty, is it really necessary to separate the concubine from Xun'er, mother and son as those foreign ministers said?"

For more than 20 years, Concubine Duan has used her own unique means to firmly tie Zhao Yongcheng's heart, and only then has she established her No.1 status under the queen.

"Move a block!" The emperor turned to Chen Changhe and ordered.

After a while, a little eunuch brought a stool, and Emperor Zhao Yongcheng personally supported Concubine Duan to sit down. This kind of grace is simply incredible.

"My dear concubine, I have some difficulties..."

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun also stopped crying, and under the gesture of the emperor's father, he walked slowly to Concubine Duan.

At this moment, Zhao Yongcheng's voice became cold and said: "Everyone else back down!"

At this moment, Zhao Yongcheng was the emperor standing on the top, dominating the world and submitting to him, so Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but bow his head.

The maidservants and eunuchs serving in the main hall all retreated in accordance with the holy will, leaving only Zhao Yanxun's family of three in the huge Qian'an Palace.

I saw that Zhao Yongcheng's climbing momentum gradually receded, and he turned into the image of the old father with a gentle face.

"My dear concubine, why would I want Xun'er to part with you, but now the imperial court is uncertain about internal and external troubles, it really cannot stand the turmoil!"

"Just yesterday, there was a battle report from the northwest, and the barbarians are about to invade in large numbers. If there is another chaos at the court, the country is almost in danger of being overthrown!"

In fact, Zhao Yongcheng hasn't finished talking yet. In addition to the Northwest Hu people's invasion, the northern counties were also hit by snowstorms in winter, and the aftermath of last year's severe drought in the Central Plains is still there...

Today's Jin court really can't stand the toss, not to mention the country-based dispute about the crown prince.

"I am the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. The late emperor handed over the country to me. I dare not make any mistakes..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yongcheng's expression was full of sadness. At this moment, he was not the emperor, but a husband who reasoned with his wife.

In fact, it is unprecedented for Concubine Duan to allow the emperor to do this.

"My concubine, all my ancestors are looking at me in the sky, I can only let you down!"
