Zhao Yurui arrived outside the palace and found a place without sunlight to stand quietly. Opposite him was a eunuch not far away, who must be someone close to the official family. Yao Bi went up and said a few words to the eunuch, and the eunuch nodded.

, glanced at Zhao Yurui and didn’t say hello.

Zhao Yurui smiled at the eunuch.

Yao Bizhi came over again and whispered: "That is Murong Ying's confidant Zhang Hua, a close servant of the official family."

The official position is not small, he is also known to everyone, and he is at the same level as Yao Bizhi.

Zhao Yurui said calmly: "It's quite impressive."

"Hehe." Yao Bizhi laughed dryly with gloating.

Then he added, there are only two people inside, the Minister of Rites Zhen Dexiu and the Prime Minister Shi Miyuan. You can go in later. The younger one will leave first.

"Yao Douzhi, walk slowly." Zhao Yurui said quickly.

The sunshine at noon was relatively strong, and it was useless for Zhao Yurui to stand under the eaves of the main hall. After a while, he felt the scorching sunlight pouring down.

He quickly stepped back, and now he was leaning against the main entrance of the hall.

Zhang Hua moved his mouth, but didn't say anything. He just looked at Zhao Yurui again.

Zhao Yurui smiled at him again.

Zhang Hua then forced a smile and nodded.

Is Murong Ying probably supporting Zhao Hong? Zhao Yurui suddenly thought of this question.

Otherwise, Zhang Hua would have no reason to be so cold towards a clan like his.

Because last time he entered the palace, Murong Ying barely paid attention to him.

Just when he was thinking wildly.

Suddenly, he faintly heard what seemed to be some quarrel in the hall.

Emperor Song Ningzong was a very talkative person. Song Ningzong generally did not quarrel with ministers, and was often tolerant and accommodating.

Could it be that Zhen Dexiu and Shi Miyuan had a quarrel?

But the quarrel stopped after a while.

Zhao Yurui pricked up his ears and thought about it, but heard nothing.

After a while, someone seemed to come out angrily.

Zhao Yurui hurried away from the door and looked carefully, but he saw Shi Miyuan with a three-goat mustache coming out first.

"Meet the Prime Minister."

"Meet King Yi."

The two met almost at the same time.

With outsiders here, Shi Miyuan also restrained himself and took Zhao Yurui's hands first, with a very satisfied expression.

"Let's go." Shi Miyuan patted Zhao Yurui's hand slightly.

Zhao Yurui followed Shi Miyuan into the distance, getting further away from Zhang Hua.

At this time, Shi Miyuan's back was facing Zhang Hua, and Zhao Yurui was facing Zhang Hua. He subconsciously looked up and found that Zhang Hua kept looking this way. Zhang Hua was far away now, so he definitely couldn't hear what they were saying.

So I look here from time to time.

"The king wants to visit the palace more often." Shi Miyuan said at this time: "Not only do I want to pay homage to His Majesty, but I also want to pay homage to Yang Shengren, and I also want to see more of Mrs. Zhong."

Shi Miyuan said directly: "These three people are not only the elders of King Yi, but also the three most powerful people in the imperial city, especially Mrs. Zhong."

Shi Miyuan said calmly: "She can now speak well in front of His Majesty."

Zhao Yurui immediately said: "I will keep Yurui in my heart, Prime Minister, please rest assured."

After Shi Miyuan hesitated for a moment, he suddenly turned around. Seeing that Zhang Hua was still far behind him, he turned back again.

Then he looked at Zhao Yurui and said: "Just now, the Minister of Rites, Zhen Dexiu, proposed to Your Majesty that you make Prince Zhao Hong the crown prince. This is the fourth time he has done this this year."

When Shi Miyuan spoke, he kept staring at Zhao Yurui's face.

Zhao Yurui's face was calm and showed no emotion, as if it was a conditioned reflex: "Ah".

He groaned, then looked up at Shi Miyuan with a confused expression, as if to say, isn't this what it should be?

Because at this time, Zhao Yurui really didn't know that Shi Miyuan had the intention to depose Zhao Hong.

He also walked on thin ice in front of Shi Miyuan, speaking and acting cautiously.

Unexpectedly, Shi Miyuan showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and said calmly: "Our Song Dynasty has the rules of the Song Dynasty. Prince Zhao Hong has just established Ji Guogong not long ago, how can he do it in one step?"

"We have to wait at least a year and a half to discuss this matter."

Why are you talking to me about this kind of thing? Zhao Yurui finally became alert, and he clearly felt that Shi Miyuan seemed to have something to say.

How could a powerful minister like Shi Miyuan talk to Zhao Yurui in front of the emperor's door about things that were originally irrelevant to him?

He raised his head again, with a suspicious look on his face. After a moment, he gritted his teeth: "The Prime Minister is wise, and Rui supports the Prime Minister."

Shi Miyuan definitely didn't ask him to express his support or not, because his support was nothing.

But this is like the Zhao Yurui that Shi Miyuan likes.

A little clever, but not very smart.

The dissatisfaction on Shi Miyuan's face turned into a smile: "As long as the king supports you, you can get used to the life in the Wei Palace."

"Thank you, Prime Minister. Everything is fine. It's incomparable to Yu Rui's previous days. If it weren't for the Prime Minister, Yu Rui would still be weeding in the fields."

Shi Miyuan was even happier: "Okay, okay, if you have any needs in the future, you can contact Mo Ze. Mo Ze is my confidant."

Zhao Yurui immediately said: "The expenses in the palace are not enough, can you ask your majesty for an official rank?"

"..."Shi Miyuan.

Shi Miyuan was just being polite, but he didn't expect Zhao Yurui to actually ask for money.

He frowned: "If you have an official rank, the seventh rank of civil servants and the fifth rank of military generals, you have to go to court. Going to court too early is not a good thing for you. If His Majesty asks you about state affairs, I am afraid that you will not be able to handle it."

As expected, Zhao Yurui's face showed an expression of fear and shrinkage.

Shi Miyuan said it nicely because it was for his own good. In fact, he did not want Zhao Yurui to have too many contacts with the ministers of the court. Zhao Yurui, who was closed-minded, ignorant, and knew nothing, was obviously easier to control.
p>

"I will ask someone to send some money to the palace tomorrow. If there is not enough, I will talk to you again." Shi Miyuan finally said.

"This--how is this so embarrassing---" Zhao and Rui Rao blushed despite being so thin, and quickly waved their hands in excitement.

How can you take the money of a powerful minister?

"That's it." Shi Miyuan was very angry, and after saying that, he turned around and left.

Whether you want money or beautiful women, I will give them to you, but of course this power must be given to me.

Watching Shi Miyuan leave gracefully, Zhao Yurui drooled with emotion from the corner of his mouth.

Lao Shi has been so kind to us, and I hope we will start well and end well in the future.

Zhao Yurui recalled it carefully, but of course, as always, he couldn't remember how Shi Miyuan ended in history.

While walking back to the Chui Gong Palace Gate, Zhao Yurui regretted not studying the history of the Song Dynasty properly.

When he returned to his original position, a figure walked out of the room, it was Zhen Dexiu.

Because of the hot weather, Zhen Dexiu held the Jinxian crown in his hand. It was also the first time for him to see Zhao Yurui. He was stunned at first. Fortunately, Zhao Yurui was wearing a four-clawed python robe and also held a mink crown in his hand.<

/p>

The two looked at each other, and Zhen Dexiu and Zhao Yurui clasped their fists almost at the same time

"King Yi."

"A true servant."

Zhen Dexiu didn't say much, nodded to him with a smile, and stepped aside.

"Prince Yi has an audience." At this moment, Zhang Hua behind him shouted with a sharp throat.

As soon as they entered the Chui Gong Hall, Zhao Yurui saw the emperor wearing a straight-legged futou and sitting in front of the royal case.

This kind of straight-legged futou is a hat crown commonly used by monarchs and ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are two slender straight legs on both sides.

Last time Zhao Yurui took this hat into the palace and deliberately threw it in the lotus pond, because he had straight legs and it was really easy for him to hit something and fall.

This time he is wearing a sable crown, which can only be used by the third prince and the clan heir king or above.

Seeing the emperor wearing a hat, Zhao Yurui quickly put the mink crown on his head.

"Meet my uncle with Rui. Long live my uncle."
