Zhao Ji was quite upset: "No!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bangchang rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you again."
Zhao Ji frowned slightly. "Lord Zhang, why are you here to see me when you're not busy with government affairs in the palace?"
"I thought about this for a long time last night, and I still think that only by asking the Supreme Emperor to ascend the throne can we protect the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Ji was slightly annoyed: "What's the point of talking to you? I will not govern the country anymore. Li Gang and others are outstanding, and I believe in their abilities."
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, you cannot stand idly by. Please return to the palace to preside over the government!" Zhang Bangchang bowed and said.
Zhao Ji was shocked: "What did you call me?"
Zhang Bangchang ignored Zhao Ji and shouted to the eunuchs behind him: "You guys, hurry up and help His Majesty change his clothes!"
A eunuch brought over a golden tray covered with red silk. When Zhang Bangchang uncovered the red silk, Zhao Ji was shocked to see a dragon robe on it.
Several eunuchs came over to change Zhao Ji's clothes. Zhao Ji was shocked: "You, what do you want to do!"
Zhang Bangchang lowered his head and watched with a smile. Several eunuchs ignored Zhao Ji's struggle and forced the dragon robe on Zhao Ji.
Zhang Bangchang hurriedly bowed and said, "Long live His Majesty! Long, long live His Majesty! Quickly help His Majesty return to the palace for court!"
Zhao Ji still wanted to struggle, but once he was wearing the yellow robe, he had no way to retreat.
The regent usually discussed state affairs with the other ministers in the Political Affairs Hall. Major matters were decided by Li Gang and the other three. If a decision could not be reached, the ministers would vote to resolve it. Every five days, the ministers would go to the Purple Palace to discuss matters again.
Today, the ministers were discussing state affairs in the Purple Palace, and Li Gang and others were wondering why Zhang Bangchang didn't come.
Suddenly, outside the Purple Palace, Zhang Bangchang came with several eunuchs and Zhao Ji in triumphantly.
Zhao Ji, wearing a dragon robe, came to the main hall surrounded by several eunuchs.
Zhang Bangchang was secretly surprised. The expressions of the ministers were not surprise, but fear. Everyone watched all this in fear and shock.
Zhao Ji was carried onto the dragon throne, and Zhang Bangchang said triumphantly: "Your Majesty is welcomed to the throne. Long live Your Majesty!"
There was no expected cheering, and the ministers below continued to watch in horror.
Zhao Ji felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to struggle, but he was surrounded by eunuchs and sat on the throne, and he had no choice.
Zhang Bangchang was furious: "His Majesty has ascended the throne again, why don't you bow down to him?"
Li Gang looked at Zhang Bangchang like a monster, which made Zhang Bangchang feel uneasy. Not only him, but all the ministers looked at Zhang Bangchang with this look, which made Zhang Bangchang feel even more uncomfortable.
Finally, Zheng Zhonghe, the official in charge of the academy, stepped forward with a heavy expression. "We just received word from Jeju City that His Majesty has recovered from his illness. The prince's enthronement has been postponed, and His Majesty will return to the capital in a few months."
Zhang Bangchang's head buzzed, and he felt dizzy. Fear spread throughout his body, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. His legs gave out, and he collapsed into a deep sleep.
The emperor was still alive, and he supported the emperor emeritus to ascend the throne. This was tantamount to treason, a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of his clan!
Zhao Ji was so flustered that he almost fell off the throne. If Zhao Huan knew that he had proclaimed himself emperor in Bian Jing, even though they were father and son, his life would be in danger.
