Lonely non-good minister

"It's true that my eldest brother and I have power in the army, but the officers and generals in the army follow me for the sake of their future. Now we can't allow them a future. If we want them to continue to follow us, we can only lead them to follow others and threaten them." How can a child with nothing be convinced that he is worthy of being entrusted and followed?"

Ms. Lin couldn't help but interjected: "You treat them so kindly on weekdays. Aren't they ungrateful?"

These words made Song Run feel sarcastic and want to laugh: "Sister-in-law, you think Vanity Fair is unreasonable? Without substantive interests to pave the way, who will think of you? Even if you know your kindness without repaying it, you are just a small conscience. Just condemned.”

Hope was interrupted again, and Empress Shen couldn't bear it anymore. She leaned back in her chair, desperate and sad, but in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have aged ten years.

"Mother." Song Run softened his tone: "It doesn't matter even if we don't have that position. The eldest brother and his sons only hope that the mother and children are safe, and nothing else is important."

These words did not make Empress Shen feel any better. From the day she married Emperor Hongming, she knew clearly that her child might sit on the throne in the future. This idea has always supported her and allowed her to continuously improve. Regarding his own requirements, he constantly supervises his father and brothers at home, in order to one day be able to be full of honors and favors.

Nothing can make up for the failure of the wish that they have been looking forward to for 40 years. What's more, what they and their mother cannot get will definitely end up being cheaper for other women and children. The thought of this made Empress Shen feel like a knife.

Song Run even needed time to accept this kind of thing, so he was not in a hurry. He still had a lot of things to deal with, so he could only politely ask Lin to take care of Queen Shen on his behalf.

As soon as Song Run left, Mrs. Lin found an opportunity. She knelt on the ground with tears and said miserably: "Both the Crown Prince and the Second Master are not qualified to inherit the throne. There are still so many princes in the court now, so... I don’t know who will take the throne in the end.”

The grieved and frustrated Empress Shen shed tears and said nothing, but kept thinking about Lin's words in her mind. She had also thought about this problem, but she couldn't get around Song Fu and Song Yuan.

"Queen Mother." Mrs. Lin knelt forward and looked up at Queen Shen: "The safety of the children is the most important thing. The candidates who ascend to the throne must not be careless. After ascending to the throne, in order to consolidate the position, we must clean up the direct descendants of the lineage. This is not uncommon in the Wei Dynasty."

The lesson she mentioned happened too many times in the Wei Dynasty. Empress Shen woke up almost instantly. She thought for a moment and said: "Wang died of illness in the palace. Song Fu must hate me. Concubine Shen is my clan sister. Over the years, Both mother and son are very respectful, and if we were to choose a candidate, Song Yuan is the most suitable candidate."

"Uncle Ninth is kind, has good relations with the Crown Prince and the Second Master, and is good to the children. He is indeed an excellent candidate." Mrs. Lin hurriedly continued: "But the father doesn't like him, and his true The concubine has no family background, and Concubine Shen is not favored now. If he wants to ascend to the throne, his mother and the Shen family will have to take action."

She was able to speak for Song Yuan, which surprised Queen Shen and asked: "You are not close to Song Yuan, why are you willing to speak for him now?"

"What can be compared to the safety of the children?" Mrs. Lin explained with tears, and then said hurriedly: "Mother, please make a decision quickly. If the prince takes it seriously, everything will be in chaos."

Queen Shen nodded and immediately ordered: "Go quickly and send a message to the Shen family's children, asking them to recommend Song Yuan."

Mrs. Wang did not dare to delay and quickly sent the news. Mrs. Lin continued to kneel on the ground. Although there were tears in her eyes, she was extremely happy in her heart.

Song Yuan liked to hide, so she wanted to see how long Song Yuan could hide.

At this time, if she stepped forward, she would die. She wanted to see what Song Chun, who was half-dead, could do to save Song Yuan this time.In the palace, in the heavy snow, Song Yuan stood on the corridor, aimed at the archery target opposite the courtyard and fired an arrow. The red heart on the target was hit again, and several arrows crowded together were shaking.

Song Yuan found it boring, so he motioned to the accompanying guards to move the target farther away. He also changed his bow and was still choosing when Wei Yan came.

"Sir, General Huang replied. He reassured me that he has developed a lot of connections over the years. Most of those people are now generals in various garrisons. It was difficult to get promoted because they had no background. After learning about the relationship between General Huang and me, they all I hope I can serve you. In addition, several other martial arts masters have been transferred to the Jingzhao City Defense Force, and they have also sent news. As long as I give you an order, they will serve you regardless of life or death."

Song Yuan aimed at the target again: "Where's Zhou Ye?"

"I haven't received any news yet. The northwest is far away and it's winter. It always takes some time to come back and forth." Wei Yan glanced at the target: "Sir, there is news from the East Palace that it is the prince. My situation is getting even worse, why don’t you go and take a look?”

Song Yuan was distracted and the arrow she shot missed the target. She held the bow and arrow tightly and asked, "Did you find that dirty thing?"

"Still looking. The people in the East Palace are very tight-lipped. They seem to have been specially told to ask questions. However, my subordinates carefully checked the list of items that the prince came into contact with before he fell ill. It was not a year or a holiday. There are not many people who give gifts, and most of the things sent to the East Palace are directly recorded and stored in the warehouse, so the prince will not look at everything."

Besides Song Chun, who else would tell these people to shut up?

Song Yuan felt sad and angry, and she felt more and more suspicious about the matter. She put down her bow and arrow: "Things that can allow the eldest brother to touch and hurt him can only be rewarded by the emperor. You should investigate this aspect."

"Your Majesty?" Wei Yan thought it was impossible: "How could Your Majesty harm the Crown Prince?"

Song Yuan gave him a complicated look and did not answer directly. Wei Yan did not dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly checked as she said.

Because Emperor Hongming specified that Song Run should temporarily replace Song Chun in handling state affairs, piles of memorials were sent to Song Run's house early that morning. In addition, there were more than twenty officials waiting in the Mingtang early that morning. People lined up to discuss government affairs with him.

Song Run was a military general, and he felt at a loss when faced with so many political affairs. Seeing his embarrassment, his subordinates suggested: "Sir, Master Jiu is also in Jingzhao now. He is an expert in handling civil affairs. Why don't you ask him to come over and help?" "

"No need." Song Run refused very decisively. At this time, Song Yuan must not come forward. If he intervened and let Emperor Hong Ming know about it, Emperor Hong Ming would definitely cause other troubles due to his suspicious temperament.

After reading several memorials in succession, Song Run noticed something was wrong. Without exception, these memorials praised Song Yuan for her outstanding abilities and that she was worthy of a big job. They recommended her to take over Song Chun's position.

At this time, with this kind of memorial, are you sure that Song Yuan is not going to die?
