After all, deposing and enthroning a monarch was a major event that shook the foundation of the Song Dynasty. If they failed, their family would not be able to escape a knife on their necks. Although the infinite temptation after success led Han Tuozhou here, the uneasy mood made Han Tuozhou extrely anxious, and his palms were full of sweat. He rubbed his hands and walked back and forth at the city gate.
The guards went in for only a mont, but in Han Tuozhou's view, it seed that he had been waiting here for half his life. He gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his feet, as if he had made up his mind to go back. He was hesitating, he was regretting, and he was afraid.
At this mont, soone patted Han Tuozhou on the shoulder.
Just this pat, all the entanglent and timidity in Han Tuozhou's stomach were patted away. Like a gambler, he bet his future and the lives of his entire family on a palace coup that might happen today or tomorrow.
The one who patted his shoulder was the eunuch Zhang Zongyin. Zhang Zongyin's face was calm, as if nothing had happened in the palace. He asked, "Lord Han, what do you want to talk to about?"
Han Tuozhou's eyes flickered, and he wanted to speak but didn't.
Who is Zhang Zongyin? Having spent so many years in the harem, where many won fight for favor and sche against each other, he is very smart. He guessed at a glance that Han Tuozhou's visit was related to the death of the emperor. Thinking back to the emperor's eccentric remarks in recent days, he felt that sothing would happen, but he didn't expect soone to find him. He looked up at the sky and sighed, "The world is going to change."
Han Tuozhou imdiately slled the flavor of Zhang Zongyin's four words and said, "Master Zhang has a sharp vision, which makes admire him. I am here to discuss the change with you."
Zhang Zongyin pulled Han Tuozhou aside and whispered, "What do you an, sir?"
Han Tuozhou leaned against Zhang Zongyin's ear and said, "The emperor passed away, and the whole country was in grief. But the emperor was very sad because of his deep relationship with the emperor. If there is any grudge, he will refuse to preside over the funeral affairs by saying that he is not feeling well. Although this action cannot be said to be perverse, it is against human ethics. Even ordinary people cannot tolerate it, let alone the ruler of a dynasty. Many ministers in the court submitted morials to persuade the emperor, but the emperor refused to approve it. Even the left pri minister resigned due to illness, and officials began to think about resigning and returning ho. If this continues, the country will no longer be a country. Now, several adults who are anxious about the fate of the country want to..."
Zhang Zongyin said: "What do you want, adults?"
Han Tuozhou said: "You already know it, why do I have to say it clearly?"
Zhang Zongyin said: "It seems that you are still on guard against , so why do you co to ?" After that, he pretended to brush his sleeves and prepared to turn around and leave.
Han Tuozhou stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Zongyin's clothes, and said with a smile: "I ca to discuss with you because of our past friendship. Since you want to make it clear, I have no choice but to speak my mind. You have decided to establish a new king."
Zhang Zongyin was also a man who had seen many storms and waves, and was not frightened by "establishing a new king". He thought for a while and asked: "Can you tell who is the person in charge?"
Han Tuozhou said: "Mr. Zhao Ruyu, who knows the Privy Council."
Zhang Zongyin said: "Then I am relieved." Then he took Han Tuozhou to Cifu
