In Lin'an Imperial City, the Prime Minister's residence was filled with dignitaries and guests. All the officials of the Song Dynasty were present. Today was the birthday of Prime Minister Shi Miyuan. No official dared to be absent without reason. Those who were qualified to enter the Prime Minister's Palace were all officials of fifth rank or above, and congratulatory gifts were also sent to those below fifth rank. , otherwise you have to be careful about your official title. It can be seen from this that the prime minister has great influence on the government and the public. According to later generations, Shi Miyuan was a standard second-generation official. His father Shi Hao was the prime minister during the Xiaozong period. He was quite talented and learned. He once wrote a letter to vindicate Yue Fei, advocated resistance to the Jin Dynasty, and recommended Lu You to the emperor. He can be regarded as a wise man of the generation. Prime Minister, Shi Miyuan was just the opposite. He was an opportunistic capitulator. After the failure of the Northern Expedition against the Kingdom of Jin during the Kaixi Year, he united with Queen Yang in the palace to kill Han Yuzhou, the main war faction, thus becoming the leader of the Song Dynasty. The prime minister and the privy envoys hold great military and political power, and their power is overwhelming. Yang Kang had met Shi Miyuan before. At that time, he was the young prince of the Jin Kingdom. He had a natural sense of superiority towards this powerful official of the Song Kingdom. Shi Miyuan naturally did not dare to offend him, but now he had to congratulate the Prime Minister with a smile on his face. Shou, fortunately he has the status of King Yi and does not have to be as servile as those officials. His Majesty the Emperor looked at the officialdom in front of him and felt that life is really interesting. When you change your identity and change your perspective, you will have a different perception. There is no need to care too much about the ups and downs of life, as long as you are still alive. , there is still a chance to start over. Shi Miyuan didn't pay too much attention to His Highness Prince Yi. He was waiting for the Crown Prince Zhao Hong. He had already heard His Highness the Crown Prince's comments about him. As a fifty-six-year-old man, the Prime Minister had experienced countless Damn, he was able to control the Song Dynasty for twelve years. He was definitely a scheming person. It is said that hearing is false and seeing is true. The Prime Minister believes in his own eyes rather than hearsay. Those who deliver the news will always have one purpose or another. They must not be disbelieved or credulous. He wants to use this birthday banquet to see the attitude of His Highness the Crown Prince. This attitude It will determine his next move. The dethroning of the crown prince is a national matter, and there must be a justifiable reason. The prince Zhao Hong is the emperor's nephew, so he is not willing to do anything unless necessary. Prince Zhao Hong came here and asked his chamberlain to give him a congratulatory gift. The gift was a blood-red coral, which was crystal clear and highly ornamental. It stands to reason that this gift is so precious and the Prime Minister should be happy. This shows that His Highness the Crown Prince cherishes the Prime Minister. However, Shi Miyuan knew that this coral was presented to the palace from Enzhou. Enzhou belonged to Guangnan East Road in the Song Dynasty and later became Enping County in Guangdong. His Royal Highness was hinting that he would be brought to the palace in the future. Exiled to Guangdong area. The Prime Minister thanked His Highness the Crown Prince, but he already had some concerns in his heart. Then the decree came from the palace. Emperor Zhao Kuo cared about his ministers and specially gave him imperial wine for all the ministers to drink. The scene became lively. Thank you Yili and King Yi. His Highness watched around the coral. "It's really inappropriate for His Highness the Crown Prince to do this!" Xie Yili said in a low voice. Xie Dacaizi was a student in the palace, so he naturally knew the origin of this coral, but he did not expect that the prince would send it as a gift so blatantly. Zhao Hong did not target Shi Miyuan like this before he became the prince. At that time, he was just an ordinary person. An idle prince, national affairs have nothing to do with him. Once he became the prince of the East Palace and assisted the emperor in handling state affairs, he deeply felt the overwhelming power of Shi Miyuan. Even the emperor Zhao Kuo was at the mercy of him. He is the future emperor. This Song Kingdom belongs to him, not Shi Miyuan. Zhao Hong sneered in his heart. After today, there will be no more Shi Miyuan. The reason why he chose this coral was not to imply Shi Miyuan was exiled because of the color of the coral, which was blood red. Yang Kang was silent. He was paying attention to a maid. There were countless maids at the birthday banquet, but His Highness King Yi only paid attention to one person. Xie Yili followed Yang Kang's gaze and saw only an ordinary-looking maid. The maid was Pouring the wine, Xie Da Caizi expressed doubts about this classmate's aesthetic sense. His Majesty the Emperor felt that the maid seemed familiar, and judging from the way the maid poured wine, she must be skilled in martial arts. The maid was walking slowly with the wine pot in the direction of Shi Miyuan, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor had rich assassination experience. Look, this is exactly the rhythm of an assassination. Yang Kang was angry. If you want to kill Shi Miyuan, I would have killed him a long time ago. I am still waiting for you to assassinate him. If you kill him, who will support me to become the emperor of Song Dynasty? Once Shi Miyuan dies, Prince Zhao Hong's position will be secure. It was even harder to get to the top. He watched the maid pull out the dagger from under the tray and stabbed Shi Miyuan "Prime Minister, be careful!" His Highness King Yi shouted. Too late to speak, but soon enough, the wine glass in His Highness King Yi's hand was thrown out of his hand, and he threw it at the maid's arm. This throw was also skillful. His Highness King Yi did not know martial arts, so he could not use internal force in this throw. It can only be brute force, and it cannot be highly accurate.?, if it happens to hit the dagger, it may arouse suspicion. The arm has a large range and is easy to hit. It can also change the trajectory of the dagger and save Shi Miyuan. The wine glass hit the maid accurately. The maid originally stabbed Shi Miyuan in the heart. After being hit on the shoulder, she stabbed the Prime Minister's shoulder with a shake of her hand. Blood spattered out. Shi Miyuan fell to the ground, with chaos happening around him. A group of military generals gathered around the maid. The maid secretly hated her and looked back at the person who ruined her good deeds. However, when she saw Yang Kang's face, she suddenly showed surprise. "It's you?" the maid exclaimed. His Majesty the Emperor finally recognized from the maid¡¯s eyes and voice that this was Murong Yan, a descendant of the Murong family who followed Prince Li Chengzhen of Xixia. The mask on his face was made by Murong Yan. No wonder she recognized it? At this time, Yang Kang faced two choices, one was to kill and silence him, the other was to save Murong Yan and ask what was going on. She should have followed Li Chengzhen in his plan to restore the country. How could she go to Lin'an Mansion in disguise to assassinate Shi Miyuan? What's the conspiracy behind this? Murong Yan did not stop after recognizing His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin. Instead, he spread out his body skills to shuttle among the crowd. Murong Yan was not the only assassin. Other assassins in disguise also drew out their sharp blades and rushed outside. For a moment, the guests fell into one. , the screams continued, and the birthday banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion was ruined. Yang Kang took advantage of the chaos and left, followed Murong Yan, and covered her whereabouts. Finally, the two met face to face in a small alley. "Your Majesty, please save His Highness the Prince, he was captured by the Mongols." Murong Yan pleaded. Mongolia, Xixia, Shi Miyuan, Zhao Hong, Song State, Jin State His Majesty the Emperor connected these keywords together, and finally understood the purpose of this assassination. Mongolia wanted to let Song State and Jin State go to war so that they could settle down Fisherman's advantage, and the assassin who came this time was the master of Xixia Kingdom. (To be continued.)
