Chapter 176 The Emperor's Resistance

After the eunuch went out for a while, Zhao Heng rushed to arrive with a worried look.

The Empress Dowager was sitting at the table and feeling sulky. Zhao Defang stood on the other side of the table with a bitter face, not daring to speak.

Zhao Heng didn't care about going to see the others, and when he saw the queen mother hurried forward to comfort him: "Mom, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with you?"

When the empress dowager saw Zhao Heng coming forward, she glared at him coldly: "Where am I uncomfortable? I'm going to make you angry!"

Zhao Heng was stunned, and then he found Zhao Defang standing beside him: "Ah! Lao Ba, are you here too?"

Zhao Defang nodded.

Zhao Heng understood and smiled bitterly to the empress dowager, "Mom, this is a national event, don't get involved."

The empress dowager stood up angrily and pointed at Zhao Heng and cursed: "You know that this is a national event? Then you dare to be so hasty? Do you know what the throne means? It not only means glory, but also responsibility! Your father passed the throne to you, not only letting you kneel down, but also to make you shoulder the responsibility of protecting my Zhao Song Jiangshan. Now that powerful enemies are surrounded by tigers and wolves, the Song Dynasty is far from stable, and you are actually abdicating?"

Zhao Heng was scolded by the empress dowager and couldn't raise his head: "Mom, listen to me, my son has a son's difficulties, son..."

Before he could finish his words, the Queen Mother pointed at him and cursed: "You have a big problem! You want to throw the throne to Lao Ba! So, Lao Ba is much more reliable than you! My mother also believes that Lao Ba will be a good emperor! But now is this a matter between you and Lao Ba?"

The Empress Dowager pointed at Zhao Heng with an excited expression: "You threw the throne to Lao Ba. Have you ever thought about what the people in the world would think of him? Have you ever thought about how the civil and military officials from all over the world think? Have you ever thought about the Khitans and Xixia people taking advantage of the people of the Song Dynasty to take advantage of the opportunity to invade? It's simply a bastard!"

Zhao Heng was speechless when the empress dowager said, and could only politely say: "My son follows his mother's teachings, and his son will... be able to act cautiously."

The empress dowager was so angry that her chest was undulating, as if she was about to faint. Zhao Heng quickly helped her sit down and nervously ordered the eunuch: "Hurry up! Go and pass on the imperial doctor!"

"What kind of imperial doctor is said to me? My mother's heart disease cannot be cured!" The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Heng in anger: "You still have to act cautiously? Are you trying to make your mother angry to death, right? Lao Ba is here, Lao Ba and your mother firmly oppose your abdication. Just give your mother a happy word, whether to change your mind! If you refuse to take back Cheng's life, mother will go to the nine springs to see your father immediately!"

Zhao Heng was extremely helpless and glanced at the Eight Kings, so he had to say, "Yes! My son no longer had this idea, so don't be angry anymore."

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Go back and reflect on me! I don't want to see you, an unfilial son!"

The Empress Dowager suddenly stood up and greeted Zhao Defang: "Old Eighth, accompany my aunt out for a walk."

Zhao Defang hurriedly stepped forward to support the empress dowager, threw a look of self-seeking blessings at Zhao Heng, and helped the empress dowager walk out.

Zhao Heng looked at the backs of the two with helpless expressions and sighed: "I came out at noon and couldn't return in the dusk. I went up to the pavilion in the smoke and looked at the snowy mountain. I was in a group of ways and was willful in my life. There were so many idle guests under Luo, and I was the most idle. Alas! It's enviable..."

In Yanfu Palace, Liu E was reading a book indoors, and suddenly Zhao Heng walked in listlessly. Liu E hurriedly put down her things and went up to greet her.

Liu E accompanied Zhao Heng to the seat, looked at Liu Heng's face, and asked in confusion: "The official family is in a bad mood?"

Zhao Heng sighed: "I just scolded me by my mother."

"What's the matter?" Liu E was surprised. She knew that the queen mother had the most kind temper. Even if the palace maid and eunuch made a mistake on weekdays, she could not bear to scold her as long as it was not a big mistake. How could she scold the emperor for no reason?

Zhao Heng was silent for a moment before he spoke in a stern voice: "I wanted to abdicate the throne to Lao Ba, but before the edict was finished, Lao Ba rushed to me and got angry. He finally got rid of him, but who would have thought he would tell my mother again..."

He looked at Liu E with a wry smile and spread his hands: "It's conceivable that I was scolded by my mother."

"You... do you want to abdicate?" Liu E was stunned.

"This emperor is so unfree, I'm tired. Plus that night the divine messaging, but..." Zhao Heng sighed:

"There is nothing more than that. Once you become an emperor, you can't help me, and you can't help me if you don't do it. If you don't, you can only cause you to suffer and make things difficult for me."

Liu E came back to her senses, held Zhao Heng's hand excitedly, and her voice trembled: "For me, the official family can even ignore the country. I... I don't know how moved I am, so how could I feel?"

Zhao Heng gently hugged Liu E in his arms: "I am just a kind of infatuated person who doesn't love the country and the beauty, but... I don't abdicate, and once the gods sue again, I'm afraid they will implicate you..."

Liu E raised her eyes to look at Zhao Heng with tears in her eyes, and she felt extremely grateful. After a while, she said softly: "Martial wife is one and she is together, and she is not implicated. If you can be with you, I am willing to die."

Zhao Heng looked at Liu E affectionately and wiped away the tears from her cheeks: "E-male, you are so nice... Why can't others see your goodness?"

Liu E smiled mischievously and snuggled into Zhao Heng's arms: "I am your woman, my goodness is enough as long as you know it."

The two of them leaned tightly together, their faces filled with sweet smiles.

Zhao Heng was thinking, and after some confusion, he made up his mind and suddenly said, "I became this emperor. No matter what I do, they would say anything. This is not allowed, that is not allowed! Okay, I will not be the emperor, right? But they still don't agree! Then, I will continue to be the emperor, and you..."

Zhao Heng held Liu E's shoulder and gently separated her, looking at her: "And you must become my queen! This is the only requirement I have to fight for myself as an emperor!"

Liu E was stunned and sat upright: "The ministers will not agree!"

Zhao Heng was so tough that he became tough at this time and said in a deep voice: "E-niang, I know your concerns. You don't value fame and don't want me to make things difficult for me, but you must also understand my mood. I want to give you a name and let you stand by my side upright, and I can spare no expense for this."

Liu E and Zhao Heng shook hands, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes.

Zhao Heng grabbed Liu E's hand and emphasized seriously: "Since I cannot abdicate and cannot untie that cause, I can only work hard to strive for another result!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Liu E and said mysteriously: "Maybe after you seal it, you will not be punished if you have the destiny!"

Liu E looked at Zhao Heng in shock, looked at Zhao Heng, and finally lowered her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Okay, even if they call me a demon concubine who harms the country and the people, I will be your queen!"

Zhao Heng nodded excitedly: "Yes."

Liu E suddenly looked up again: "But I have a request, you have to agree before I will be your queen."

Zhao Heng looked at Liu E unexpectedly: "What are the requirements?"

Liu E raised her finger and said with a smile: "We make three rules, not to waste the people, not to hurt money, and not to hold the grand ceremony of the posthumous enthronement. We only pass on the edict of the posthumous enthronement to the Secretariat and announce the matter in the palace."

Zhao Heng responded with shock and excitedly: "How can this be done! The ceremony of the post-book is so hasty, it's so aggrieved you!"

"Don't feel wronged." Liu E shook her head and smiled slightly: "If you really want to compensate me, then..."

Liu E tilted her head and thought, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhao Heng: "I like fireworks! Then, let's set off a gorgeous fireworks for me at the ceremony after the book to celebrate!"

Zhao Heng looked at Liu E affectionately and nodded slowly: "Okay! I, please obey my decree!"
