Chapter 1588: Sleeping on the Dragon Bed Overnight, Refuting the Imperial Edict

Liu Changshi is Liu Bingzhong, and he is from the same faction as Princess Chabi.

Chief Steward Yang is Yang Guo, who belongs to the military.

Before Su Mingzhe left, he handed over all matters to the three people, which showed that he trusted them.

Little did he know that his entrustment would directly break down the defenses of those old and young men of the Jin Dynasty.

A hundred years after the Jurchens established their nation, their population surged from tens of thousands to two or three million.

After the Tatars and the Southern Song Dynasty jointly conquered the Jurchens, their number dropped sharply to less than 100,000.

The century-old national dream has completely turned into a fantasy bubble.

These old and young people were unwilling and dared not to surrender to the Tartars and the Southern Song Dynasty, so they could only live in temples or hide in deep valleys and mountains, barely trying to survive.

Now, the royal family's last jewel has finally married Su Mingzhe, the future emperor, giving everyone a glimpse of a bright future.

As a result, when Su Mingzhe entrusted the state affairs, he gave the old and young people of the Jin Dynasty no care, which immediately irritated the already fragile hearts of these old and young people.

Su Mingzhe left the capital city with three thousand guards of honor.

These old men and young men hurried to the palace and asked to see Xiaolongnu and Wanyan Ping.

They will use all their skills to teach the two women how to compete for favor with other women.

……

Su Mingzhe rushed to Lin'an at a fast speed.

However, the mountains and rivers are far away and there are many difficult passes.

Even if he was faster, it would be the Spring Festival of the second year of Baoyou when Su Mingzhe arrived in Lin'an.

In order to express his respect for Su Mingzhe, the "father prime minister", the young emperor Zhao Chun personally went ten miles outside the city to greet him.

"Saint, you must not do that!"

When Su Mingzhe saw the little emperor was about to kneel down to him, he hurried forward to support him.

He has not yet attempted to usurp the throne. If he asked the little emperor to kneel down before him, he would probably be scolded by the whole world.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty worships you so much!"

Shi Songzhi kowtowed three times obediently, then smiled coquettishly at Su Mingzhe.

He knew that Zhao Chun was Su Mingzhe's child, and even if Su Mingzhe usurped the throne and became emperor, he would not harm Zhao Chun.

However, he was the prime minister of the Song court in Lin'an. If Su Mingzhe really usurped the throne, he would probably not have a good ending.

……

Su Mingzhe followed the welcoming team into the Lin'an Palace. For some reason, as soon as he walked through the city gate, he felt that the eaves of the palace were too low and the dragons on the pillars were not exquisite.

That dragon throne is so petty, not as good as the dragon throne he has in the capital.

Ok?
Su Mingzhe suddenly noticed that there seemed to be an extra dragon throne next to the little emperor's dragon throne.

Just as Su Mingzhe was guessing, he was pushed in front of the dragon throne by everyone.

Does this mean... that he wants to be the regent himself?
……

“Your Majesty…Your Majesty…”

Tang Anan used all her strength to pat the man's chest, but she couldn't stop the man from closing the distance between her and her.

Seeing the distance between them constantly changing to negative numbers, Tang Anan had no choice but to accept her fate and called the maid:

"Qingmei, why don't you take His Majesty away quickly..."

"No need to hug me! It's a rare occasion for our family to be together... Besides, Chun'er is already asleep, what are you afraid of?"

Su Mingzhe's outstanding military achievements make him awe-inspiring without even getting angry.

The two maids, Jinju and Qingmei, did not dare to disobey the man's order. They lowered their heads and retreated, not daring to look up at Tang Anan's ashamed and angry eyes.

……

Although Tang Anan felt a little fascinated by the thrill of reunion after a long separation.

However, she is now the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty. As a political creature, physical pleasure can not stop her yearning for power.

Seeing the man keep asking for more, Tang Anan was afraid that her son would wake up, so she could only keep begging:

"Your Majesty, let Chun'er sleep outside."

"It's not easy for our family of three to be reunited. I want to see Chun'er a few more times."

Su Mingzhe was determined and refused to let the maid take the little emperor away.

Tang Anan had no choice but to use the diversion method to distract the man:

"Your Highness, Chun'er is already five years old. The court has been trying to arrange a tutor for Chun'er for several times. Do you have a suitable person?" "Wait another two years..."

Su Mingzhe now only has the Empress Dowager Tang Anan in his eyes and doesn't want to think about these problems.

Besides, after the Chinese New Year, Zhao Chun would only be four years old.

Su Mingzhe felt it was a bit too early to find a teacher for him at this age.

"Even if I start school two years later, I still have to prepare for this tutor earlier."

Tang Anan didn't necessarily want to find a teacher for her son, but she wanted to distract the man's attention from her by discussing these topics so that she could have more rest.

……

Su Mingzhe made no secret of the fact that he slept on the dragon bed overnight.

When Xie Daoqing learned of Tang Anan's experience, he was so angry that he smashed a lot of porcelain in the palace.

At night.

Su Mingzhe arrived outside Xie Daoqing's palace and said that he wanted to go in to pay his respects.

Xie Daoqing was so frightened that he quickly pushed the late emperor's concubine Jia out.

When she found out that Concubine Jia had slept with Su Mingzhe, she couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"This bastard didn't even let an old woman like me go. I'm afraid all the concubines of the late emperor will be killed by him!"

……

Although Xie Daoqing calls herself an "old woman", she is actually only forty years old. With her naturally fair skin and the plump and healthy figure of Xue Baochai, she is no less tempting to men than Tang Anan.

Of course, Concubine Jia, who had been favored by the late Emperor Zhao Yun for more than ten years, was equally good.

Concubine Jia was the elder sister of the treacherous minister Jia Sidao. She was one year younger than Xie Daoqing. She had been extremely beautiful since childhood and had a beauty that could topple a country. She entered the palace in the third year of Baoqing and had been favored until Tang Anan entered the palace.

Before the death of the late Emperor Zhao Yun, Concubine Jia had been unwell and had been recuperating.

Now that she was sent to Su Mingzhe's bed by Xie Daoqing, Concubine Jia was ashamed and angry, but she was helpless and finally chose to accept her fate.

After all, she is not alone. Behind her, there is a Jia family that needs her care.

……

It seemed that Su Mingzhe was staying in the backyard of the imperial palace.

The two queen mothers, Tang An'an and Xie Daoqing, finally realized that Su Mingzhe really wanted to usurp the throne.

Unlike Xie Daoqing who was terrified and could only pray for God's blessing, Tang Anan knew that her son was Su Mingzhe's child. She wanted to work hard to let Su Mingzhe be at ease and be a "Lü Buwei".

That was the reason why she asked the young emperor to respectfully address Su Mingzhe as "Father Prime Minister".

……

The news that Su Mingzhe rushed to Lin'an and was formally appointed as the "Prime Minister" by the young emperor soon spread everywhere.

The news spread everywhere.

The world was shocked.

In history, there are not many people who can be called father by the emperor.

Historically, Jiang Ziya was honored as "Shangfu" by King Wu of Zhou.

Guan Zhong was honored as "Zhongfu" by Duke Huan of Qi.

Lu Buwei was honored as "Prime Minister" by Ying Zheng.

Fan Zeng was honored as "Yafu" by Xiang Yu.

Zhuge Liang was honored as "Father Prime Minister" by Liu Chan.

……

Closer to the Southern Song Dynasty, there is Emperor Dezong of Tang who called Guo Ziyi "Shangfu" and Emperor Shengzong of Liao who treated Han Derang "with the respect of a father".

All the ministers mentioned above who could be called father by the emperor were great figures with great reputation and power in the court.

Now, the young emperor of Lin'an respectfully calls Su Mingzhe "Father Prime Minister". What is the purpose of this?
……

When the pseudo-emperor Zhao Guiqian of Nanchang heard the news, he jumped for joy and immediately ordered people to prepare a "Call for Rebellion".

In the edict, he not only scolded the young emperor for being incompetent, but also scolded Shi Songzhi for being a treacherous prime minister who was misleading the country. Finally, he stated that he would send 500,000 troops to conquer Lin'an.

……

"Xianxia Pass was breached so quickly?"

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that he would hear such bad news after only being in Lin'an for a month or two.

Is it no wonder that this is a warning from heaven?
