The ministers looked at each other and dispersed in a hurry.
Some went home to catch up on their sleep, while others stood there waiting for the imperial city to open to go on duty at the Yamen in the imperial city.
These ministers were all shrewd.
They felt that canceling the court meeting today must be unusual, fearing that something had happened.
Soon after, the officials and ministers sent people out to inquire about the news to see what happened.
Before noon, all the officials in the imperial court knew that the regent was seriously injured and fell into a coma on his way to the imperial city to attend court.
This news was like a bombshell, which stunned the ministers and officials.
This is a huge event.
The civil and military ministers in the court are all very thoughtful people.
Now that such a serious assassination incident has occurred, how can they not think that the regent is really going to the imperial city to attend court?
I was stabbed on the way and was seriously injured.
How serious was the injury?
If you can't survive, then who will have the say in the court in the future?
Should the emperor rule personally or appoint a regent?
When they think of the emperor, many of the court ministers are stunned, which makes the emperor who only has the intelligence of a six- or seven-year-old child Pro-government, isn’t this nonsense?
But if another regent is appointed, who should be appointed?
For a moment, the minds of the courtiers and ministers began to stir.
No, we have to find out what the regent is like.
As long as we find out whether he is dead or alive, and to what extent he is seriously injured, whether he can survive is the only way to find out these things.
Only then can you determine your future attitude in court.
The civil and military ministers with various thoughts rushed to the door of the Regent's Palace in person to ask for an audience, but without exception, they were blocked by the guards standing guard at the door.
It was not until noon that Zhao Ting came out of the palace.
Not long ago, Zhao Ting was canonized by the emperor as the King of Xianyang, and as the King of Xianyang, he stayed in the Regent's Mansion as an errand.
Of course, someone instructed the emperor to do this.
The emperor only had the intelligence of six or seven years old, so of course it was impossible for Zhao Ting to do this on his own initiative.
With the status of King Xianyang, he could legitimately hold an official position in the Regent's Palace to assist Zhao Ziliang in handling important military and political affairs.
When all the court ministers saw that Zhao Ting had come out, they immediately stepped forward to salute with clasped fists and raised hands.
They all said, "Your Highness, the officials and others heard that the regent was assassinated on the way to court.
They were all very anxious.
These damn assassins, who are they?
Why did they want to assassinate the regent?
They should all be cut into pieces, executed in a cold manner, and the nine tribes should be annihilated.
I don’t know what happened to the regent.
It shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"
There were too many people, and I couldn't hear clearly what I said.
Zhao Ting had no choice but to press his hands.
When all the ministers stopped talking, he rubbed his face that looked haggard and worried, and said: "I think all of you adults already know.
Yes, at dawn today, my father was assassinated by an assassin on his way to the Taiji Hall to attend court."
"About the assassins, what I want to say here is that these assassins are all assassins from Qianji Tower.
There were as many as forty-nine assassins who assassinated my father.
During the assassination process, all of these people were killed by my brave and fearless Dragon Guards.
The soldiers surrounded and killed them, and their bodies have been handed over to Wannian County to identify their identities."
"I would like to tell you more about my father's condition.
My father is currently seriously injured.
I have called in the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital for treatment.

The specific situation is not yet clear.
I also know that you are concerned about your father's injury.
After all, this is related to the affairs of the court. stable In order to ensure the stability of the world, but the imperial doctors have also said that my father cannot be disturbed now, so I ask you to go back first and handle the government and court affairs with peace of mind.
When my father's injury improves, I will send someone to rule you.
Come visit” "In addition," Zhao Ting said, taking a volume of edict from Cao Yingxiang next to him, "my father issued an emergency edict after he was assassinated and returned to the palace, appointing high officials in the palace as Shangshu Youpushe, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Tongzhongshu.
The affairs under the family were settled; Zheng San was appointed as the household secretary and joined the army.
During the period when the father was recovering from his injuries, the above two prime ministers, together with the three prime ministers Li Mi, Lu Qi and Guan Bo, jointly presided over the government affairs as long as there were three prime ministers jointly initiating the affairs.
Summon courtiers at any time to discuss and make decisions on state affairs."
The civil and military ministers looked at each other.
The meaning contained in this edict was too unusual.
The appointment of two prime ministers in one edict was a huge event in any dynasty.
This would completely disrupt the political structure of the court, but in a certain To a certain extent, Gao Shang and others had presided over the affairs of the Regent's Palace for more than ten years when Zhao Ziliang was away from Chang'an, and they were still able to make the government develop in the direction that Zhao Ziliang originally envisioned.
This shows that they are still capable.
Although they were acting in the name of Zhao Ziliang, they were now acting as official prime ministers of the imperial court.
This did not seem to be unacceptable.
It's just that the two yamen have two more top officials, and the previous three prime ministers have become five prime ministers.
This situation of having five prime ministers at the same time occurred in the periods of Xuanzong, Suzong, Daizong, and even Taizong Gaozong. .
At this time, the scent of medicine floated from the inner courtyard of the palace.
The scent of the medicine was very strong and lingered for a long time.
When the ministers who knew a little about pharmacology smelled the scent of the medicine, they thought that the amount of medicine used was so heavy, which shows that the regent The king's injuries were serious.
He even used the century-old wild ginseng used to hang himself.
Could it be that he was really in danger?
The ministers and generals dispersed with their own thoughts.
Although they left, they always paid attention to this place.
Each minister sent servants to keep an eye on what was going on in the palace, and some even bribed the palace's waiters and maids to inquire about the details.
Situation thoughts.
On the first day, a highly skilled physician from the Imperial Hospital was invited to the Prince Regent's Mansion to treat the Prince Regent's injuries.
He was invited there from the morning and did not return until night.
The next day, two more imperial doctors were invited from the Imperial Hospital to the Regent's Palace from morning to afternoon, but they still did not return.
On the third day, four more imperial doctors were invited to the regent throughout the day.
Then the regent's palace sent people to notify the families of all the imperial doctors who came to the palace, asking them to bring changes of clothes to these imperial doctors.
It seemed that later I have to live in the palace for a long time.
For three consecutive days, as many as seven imperial doctors were invited to the regent and stayed in the palace to treat Zhao Ziliang's injuries.
This matter spread to the ears of the court ministers, which made these ministers start to think about it.
Some even asserted that Zhao Ziliang's injury was serious.
It must be serious and even life-threatening, otherwise so many imperial doctors would not be invited for consultation.
On the night of the third day of May, Zhao Ziliang was sitting on a wicker chair in the pavilion next to the lobby of the palace.
There were fruit snacks and tea on the small table next to him.
He didn't look the least bit injured.
Ambergris was burning in the incense burner in the corner.
Two The eunuch stood behind him with a cattail leaf fan to fan him to repel mosquitoes.
Gao Shang, Li Bi, Zheng San, Li Muchen, Du Zongwen, Zhao Bei, Er Zhu Xianzhong and other civil servants and generals lined up on both sides, with Zhao Ting standing beside him.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Li Mi, how is the situation outside?"
"In the past three days, rumors have spread throughout the government and the public.
Almost even a three-year-old child in Chang'an City knows that the king was assassinated and was seriously injured.

He is afraid that he will die soon."
After Li Bizhan said tremblingly, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang looked over, and a ray of light swept over his eyes, which scared him so much that he almost knelt down.
At this moment, he felt that the power of the saint king was indeed not It's something a mortal like him can bear.
Zhao Ziliang suddenly laughed, "There's more."
Li Mi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and had to continue: "Those selfish people in the officialdom began to wait and see and stopped interacting with other people, while the officials who cared about the world and the people of Li were worried.
On the one hand, they were worried about the king's injury, and on the other hand, they were worried about the king's injury.
On the one hand, they are worried that the situation in the world will be affected by the king's injury.
The people in Chang'an City are already panicked, and the commercial trade in the market has been seriously affected.
The merchants are worried about the situation.
The king's injury has caused political instability.
Political instability will inevitably affect trade.
Therefore, merchants are now afraid to place large orders.
Wei Chen is careful that if this continues, the news of the assassination and serious injury of the king will spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty.
It will inevitably lead to unpredictable situations.
In addition, starting from the morning of the assassination of the king, a large number of people in Chang'an City have successively built shrines for the king in their homes or went to temples and Taoist temples to pray for the king."
Zhao Ting, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but said: "In the past few days, people have been gathering in front of the palace.
They don't eat or drink.
They just sit cross-legged on the street in front of the palace and mutter something.
Most of them are for their fathers."
The king prayed for his blessings.
I was worried that they were starving, so I sent someone to prepare three meals a day and send them there on time."
Zhao Ziliang's eyes became moist when he heard it, and a sense of sadness surged into his throat, "What have they done for politicians?
Whether they were greedy for pleasure regardless of the life and death of the people in the world, or whether they brought a stable and prosperous life to the people, they are all Remember, they clearly distinguish between hatred and gratitude.
Even if someone in the future accuses me of ruthlessly killing the royal family, monopolizing power, and evading the emperor, it will not matter."
All the ministers knelt down one after another, Gao Shang raised their hands and said: "Your Majesty, history books will never be written like this.
Your Majesty's achievements are unparalleled and no one can deny or change them."
Zhao Ziliang sat upright from the wicker chair, looked at the crowd and said: "Gao Shang, Li Mi, Zheng San, tomorrow you will jointly convene the court ministers to hold a court meeting, and continue the content of the court meeting that was canceled last time.
I want to see what happens in this court.
How many people will have different aspirations because of loneliness and serious injury?”
The three of them looked at each other and agreed: "I obey the order."
Zhao Ziliang then ordered Lu Zhi: "Continue to spread the news, saying that Gu's injury has worsened and he is unconscious.
The imperial doctors are at their wits' end."
Now everyone understands Zhao Ziliang's intention.
Once the news gets out, when Gao Shang and others convene the court ministers to hold a court meeting tomorrow, there will definitely be officials who are not firm in their stance, act according to the prevailing situation, or have problems themselves.
Officials deliberately delay or obstruct the implementation of decrees on rectifying officialdom, and the consequences of this will inevitably lead to the resignation of a large number of officials
