In the Chugong Hall, the imperial throne was empty. Officials glanced at the imperial throne from time to time and were talking in private.

Kou Zhun stroked his beard and whispered to Yang Yi beside him: "Your Majesty comes to us today, I don't know what to discuss with you."

Yang Yi frowned and thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Is it... it's for the establishment of the last century?"

Kou Zhun thought about it and shook his head: "It's unlikely."

Yang Yi turned his head to look at Ding Wei, then leaned against Kou Zhun's ear and whispered: "Didn't Ding Wei's group of people play with something?"

Kou Zhun glanced at Ding Wei and replied calmly: "To remain unchanged, respond to all changes."

Yang Yi nodded slowly and looked up. He happened to see a group of eunuchs coming out of the side hall with Zhao Heng. He quickly straightened his body and stood down with his eyes down.

"The emperor is here!" a little eunuch sang.

All the officials below quickly silenced and stood respectfully in the scene.

Zhao Heng sat on the imperial throne and looked down at the officials.

After the officials made a routine visit, Zhao Heng immediately said tiredly: "It's not a big court meeting, just sit there, just sit there."

Everyone took their seats thanks.

"I have a very important matter to discuss with you today."

When everyone heard this, they immediately sat up straight and looked serious.

Ding Wei sat down and bowed: "But I don't know what important matters to discuss with Your Majesty?"

Zhao Heng pondered and refused to answer, and felt a little unconscious, and everyone couldn't help looking at each other.

"Your Majesty!" Kou Zhun couldn't help it and bowed to ask.

Zhao Heng came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, cheered up and spoke.

"My dear friends, my throne has been inherited from my father. My father succeeded my uncle. When my father ascended the throne, he said that he would return power to my uncle's sons a hundred years later. Later, for various reasons, I succeeded to the throne."

Everyone looked at the emperor in confusion.

Zhao Heng paused and continued to speak: "In recent years, my health has been deteriorating and I am not energetic. The prince is young and cannot manage the government. I want to abdicate to the emperor's brother Defang, but I wonder what my dear friends think?"

Everyone was shocked and stood up together.

Zhou Huaizheng was also shocked and immediately turned around and knelt in front of Zhao Heng, kowtowing repeatedly: "Officials, must not! must not!"

Ding Wei also advised: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

Among all the officials, Kou Zhun was the most intense and opposed loudly: "Absurd! It's too ridiculous! How could Your Majesty have this idea?"

Yang Yi also looked anxious and advised loudly: "Your Majesty is confused! Please ask Your Majesty to take back the order quickly. I will never dare to obey the order!"

Wang Qinruo also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty has been in charge of the throne for many years, and the country has been settled. How can the throne be allowed to be lenient to others?"

Seeing that all the ministers opposed it, Zhao Heng couldn't help but frowned: "I'm asking you to discuss this, and I'm not immediately issuing an edict to inform the world! The Eight Kings are wise and better than me. What's wrong with me in abdicating him?"

Kou Zhun took a step forward and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is wise, but this move has nothing to do with whether the Eighth Prince is wise or not. It is because the country has been settled and the world is returned to its heart. If the orthodoxy of the royal family suddenly changes, it may cause turmoil in the world. Now Liao Xia is looking down on our Song Dynasty. Isn't this an opportunity for others to take advantage of?"

Ding Wei rarely agreed with Kou Zhun and said anxiously: "What Kou Gong said is very true, for the sake of the people of the world and the country, your Majesty must not have this idea again."

Zhao Heng clicked on the two of them, and his tone was a little sarcastic: "You two are rare to have the same political views!"

He glanced at the other ministers, and saw that some of them were thinking and not excited, so he pointed at one of them: "Wang Dan, tell me."

Wang Dan looked at Zhao Heng and said vaguely: "Uh... I think all the words are reasonable, and as for returning the power to Taizu's lineage, it seems to make sense. I think it is better to make a long-term plan and long-term plan. This... should be considered more."

Zhao Heng's eyes turned to a minister again and asked: Where is you?

This minister is a minister of the Ministry of Works. Except for the rainy season, he can say a few words every year when controlling water in the rainy season, he has no say in the court on weekdays. When he suddenly asked about it, he was stunned.

After a while, when everyone looked at him, he could only stumblingly: "Well... I also think that if Your Majesty wants to abdicate, there is a reason for Your Majesty to abdicate! Your Majesty’s opposition to the opposition to the opposition to the opposition to the opposition to the opposition to the opposition to the opposition to the opposition to the two. This...is important, Your Majesty might as well consider it again..."

All the ministers bowed together and bowed: Your Majesty, please think twice.

Zhao Heng sighed, lowered his eyes, and saw Zhou Huaizheng still kneeling there, and waved his hand powerlessly: "Okay, don't worry, get up!"

Zhou Huaizheng kowtowed, stood up and stood on one side again, with a look of panic on his face.

Zhao Heng looked depressed on the dragon throne: "I am reckless about this matter. I will think about it more."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Ding Wei stepped forward and bowed, "I think Your Majesty was worried and troubled about Concubine De and was in a daze, so he thought of abdicating. I thought that the harem should be settled, so that Your Majesty could concentrate on state affairs. Concubine De has recovered now, so I would like to make Concubine De the Empress!"

Ding Wei knelt down with a lift of the robe.

Wang Qinruo and other officials from Ding Weishang knelt down one after another: "I would like to make Concubine De the Empress!"

Kou Zhun glanced at Ding Wei angrily, took a step forward, and knelt down: "I object!"

Yang Yi and other officials from Kou Zhun also knelt down one after another: "I object!"

Ding Wei sneered: "Mr. Kou, what is your intention to stop Concubine De from being the queen?"

Kou Zhun looked up and sneered: "If some things are said too clearly, I'm afraid your subordinates are not good-looking, right?"

"You..." Ding Wei's face changed.

Kou Zhun's face darkened, stared at Ding Wei, and said coldly: "Who did the prince come from? Can it hide it from the world?"

He looked at Zhao Heng again: "Your Majesty should know what Liu's origin was back then?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng on the stage was furious and clenched his fists.

But Kou Zhun had no scruples at all and said loudly: "Liu's family was born in poverty and humbleness, so he was not worthy of being the lord of the six palaces, so he was not worthy of being the example of the world, and so he was not worthy of being a mother to be the world!"

Yang Yi and other officials sent by Kou Zhun agreed one after another: "I agree!"

Everyone looked at Zhao Heng's face and thought he would explode, but unexpectedly, he looked angry, but for some reason, suddenly pressed it down, turned tired, and waved to everyone powerlessly: "Let's discuss it again, I'm tired."

The ministers were all puzzled, but the emperor had already ordered that he could only bow and retreat.

After the ministers dispersed, Zhao Heng did not rush to leave. He looked at the sky outside the palace with a tired look on his face, thinking that he was not in his mind.

Zhou Huaizheng stood sideways, lowered his head slightly, and had not seen the emperor's orders for a long time. He couldn't help but look up in surprise, and saw Zhao Heng sitting on the dragon throne, with two long lines of tears hanging on his face at some point.

Zhou Huaizheng was shocked and shouted in a low voice: "Official family."

Zhao Heng looked straight ahead and smiled bitterly: "Huaizheng, you said I... Is this emperor particularly cowardly?"

Zhou Huaizheng was stunned and whispered: "Why did the official say this?"

Zhao Heng sat there, looking at the empty hall, and showed a sarcastic smile: "I want to build a house, but they don't allow it; I want to marry a wife, but they don't allow it. Okay, I said I won't be this emperor anymore, right? They still don't allow it! Tell me, how many things can be done in my life that I want to do?"

Zhou Huaizheng was also a little sad when he heard this, but he still whispered: "The officials, the ministers spoke a little more intensely, but they still pretended to be His Majesty in their hearts."
