Evening.

A very unfavorable news came.

In other words, this news is very unfavorable to Zhao Defang's people.

Zhao Kuangyin fell ill again, and summoned many imperial doctors to see a doctor, and even various rumors came out.

"Your Majesty is ill. ”

"I heard that Empress Dowager Du has come to visit. ”

"It happened too suddenly, I hope Your Majesty is fine, otherwise we won't have time to react." ”

"Martial Guard, if there is an accident, can you rely on the Golden Gun Class to stabilize the situation?"

"What do you say? There are only four or five hundred people in the Golden Gun Squad, and besides, I am only an envoy of the guards, and I am not a commander, so I am afraid that I will not even have the right to give orders at that time. ”

"Alas, time is too short. ”

"The main thing is that in the final analysis, the influence of the four princes is too weak to control important departments. ”

"I don't know if the kingdom division has attracted one or two powerful figures. ”

"Hanging, why do you support the four princes? People with a little strength will definitely choose the more promising King Jin and the King of Martial Arts. ”

A group of people in the team sighed, they were helpless to take refuge in Zhao Defang, and later saw that Zhao Defang had brought together a big man like Wang Chen, and there was still a little expectation, after all, Wang Chen's status is noble, even if he has no real power, at least "boundless mana" Ah, but on the contrary, the news that Zhao Kuangyin fell ill again suddenly came out, Wu Ling and the others were worried, even if Wang Chen's face was big, he always needed time to prepare, now so suddenly, if the emperor died, it would definitely be impossible for them to help Zhao Defang ascend the throne, only to accept the fate of failure.

……

The other side.

In the palace, Zhao Kuangyin, who was rumored to have fallen ill, was sitting calmly and leisurely drinking tea at the small round table in the dormitory, listening to a series of reply messages from the people below.

He took a sip of tea, "What's going on over there with King Jin?"

A young man with an even body and calloused hands said respectfully: "In the afternoon, the King of Jin summoned several high-ranking ministers to come over. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, and asked again: "What about the martial arts county king?"

Another man with a scar three or four centimeters long that had been cut off from the corner of his eye on his face said, "It's the same." ”

Zhao Kuangyin sneered, "I'm not dead yet, and they started to make trouble?"

The three or four men in the room were speechless.

"What about the four princes?" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked again.

Someone answered: "The four princes are still the same as usual, in addition to learning arithmetic from the national teacher, they also learn martial arts from Wuling, the guard of the Golden Gun Class. ”

Zhao Kuangyin showed a satisfied smile at this time, waved his hand and said, "You guys go out first, and by the way, call Mr. Bai Yun and them in." ”

"Yui. ”

Four men went out.

Zhao Kuangyin sat there pinching the lid of the cup and fell into contemplation, he didn't want to pass on the throne to Zhao Guangyi, in fact, he didn't really want to pass it on to Zhao Dezhao, as the saying goes, knowing the son is more than the father, others don't know Zhao Dezhao's character, Lao Zhao can't know yet?

Zhao Dezhao's personality is too indecisive and not suitable to be an emperor.

In fact, Lao Zhao admires Zhao Defang the most, but unfortunately Zhao Defang is too young, even if he succeeds to the throne, he can't suppress Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao, maybe it will also make the Zhao royal family collapse, so Zhao Dezhao is the choice that Lao Zhao didn't choose, and now he hears that Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao are taking action, but Zhao Defang is still as usual, and he sighs in his heart.

It's better to be a younger son.

About three minutes later, two or three Taoist priests with immortal wind bones walked in outside, and two monks with bitter faces.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stood up and said, "All the real people and masters are polite. ”

The three Taoist priests and the two old monks said they didn't dare.

The eldest of them looks to be in his 100s, but his body is still very strong, and he is the ancestor of Chen Tuan in myths and legends.

is a hundred-year-old person, even Zhao Kuangyin has to give a seat.

Everyone greeted each other for a while.

In the end, Zhao Kuangyin changed his words, squinted his eyes and said, "I invite all real people and masters to come over and ask for something." ”

Chen Jun never spoke.

On the contrary, Zhang Shouzhen, another famous Taoist priest today, asked softly: "Your Majesty, what is the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said: "Recently, a demon with boundless magic power has infiltrated the palace, although the guards around me are strong in martial arts, but after all, they are mortals, I have no choice but to take him, I want to ask you real people and masters, is there any way to get rid of this demon!"

That's right, Zhao Kuangyin is indeed sick again today, although he is not so sick that he fell down as rumored, but he feels that he is really as Wang Chen said, and he is worried that Wang Chen will threaten the Zhao family after his death, so he simply invited the three most famous Taoist priests and two old monks in the world to discuss how to break Wang Chen's mana!

……

The next day, the sun was shining.

Of course, Wang Chen didn't know that Zhao Kuangyin was going to do it to himself, and was taken out of the palace by Zhao Defang as an arithmetic teacher as usual.

When the carriage passed by the Jin Palace, Wang Chen saw that several court officials happened to walk in, and he felt a little strange, so he asked the coachman to stop, opened it and went to the Jin Palace.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guangyi also threatened Wang Chen on the side before, but after Wang Chen scared Jiao Jixun, Zhao Er changed his mind and took the initiative to say to Wang Chen, "Well water does not violate river water" and something like that, even so, in fact, Zhao Er was still very unhappy with Wang Chen in his heart.

It's just that Zhao Er knows the severity of the matter, and the most important thing now is to compete for the throne, not to be angry with Wang Chen.

In the big study on the east side of the Jin Palace, there were more than a dozen court ministers sitting, and Zhao Guangyi was also sitting there, since he heard that Zhao Kuangyin was sick, he was already a little lawless, ready to enter the palace and ascend the throne at any time.

Someone spoke.

"I heard that the fourth prince has been very close to the national teacher recently. ”

"yes. ”

"Do you think the national teacher and the four princes will threaten us?"

"Hehe, you're thinking too much, the four princes are still young, and the national teachers don't have any real power, what threat can they pose to us?"

"By the way, King Jin, I have already said that the palace envoy is moving, and the most important thing now is to get the news of His Majesty as soon as possible, and you have to personally go out to persuade Wang Xingtou. ”

"Well, I know that Wang Xingshou and I are good friends, and it shouldn't be difficult to move him. ”

"If we say that the king is the head, and the palace envoy is our person, then the entire palace will be under our control, haha. ”

"Be careful!"

"What are you afraid of? Your Majesty is now seriously ill and bedridden, and it is up to King Jin to handle the affairs of the court. ”

"That's right, congratulations to King Jin. ”

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty is not feeling well, what are you talking nonsense? Let's talk about today's major affairs in the court. Zhao Guangyi pretended to reproach a few people, but his face was like a flower.

Then they really began to discuss the affairs of the government.

But just now all those words were heard by Wang Chen, who was sitting in the carriage, and he laughed dumbly, saying in his heart that taking down a palace envoy is also called controlling the entire palace?

Hey, did you ask me?

Wang Chen smiled very happily, he is Wang Jien's step-son, as long as he wants, Wang Jien will not stand beside anyone, but well, Wang Chen decided to let Wang Jien play Infernal Affairs with Zhao Guangyi.

……

The carriage stopped in front of the door.

Wang Chen walked quickly inside, and before he entered the study, he saw a panicked scene through the window, and everyone gathered together in twos and threes to be startled.

Zhao Defang didn't rush over with Wang Chen after picking him up just now, as if he had something to deal with.

Wang Chen was the first to walk in.

As soon as he got inside, he was surrounded by a large crowd.

Because considering the importance of the matter, Wang Chen kept a clear eye every time he talked about major matters to prevent anyone from spying on them, and it was precisely because of this that Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao did not know that they were the third force vying for the throne.

No surveillance was observed.

Wu Ling hurriedly said: "National Teacher, the things you explained have been done. ”

Wang Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Very good." ”

They are talking about the fact that Gonggong Zhang sent someone to deliver a letter to Liao yesterday.

After saying this, Wu Ling said with a worried face: "I heard that His Majesty is sick, are we hopeless?"

Zhang Qian, the Chongban of the inner hall, also said: "I saw a lot of imperial doctors entering His Majesty's bedroom yesterday, and came out with a frown, if something really happens to His Majesty, we ...... Alas. ”

"National teacher, what can I do about this?" Lu Qin, the official of the west head, was so anxious that he turned around, "Why don't you hang your majesty with great mana?"

Wang Chen smiled and said, "What if something happens to Your Majesty now?"

One of the petty officials said: "Our climate is not yet fledgling, and if something happens to Your Majesty, there will definitely be no way to help the four princes compete for the throne." ”

Wang Chen observed Zhao Kuangyin last night, and saw that Lao Zhao was eating quite fragrant in the house, not like a sick person at all, as soon as he heard it, he knew that this news was released by someone with a heart, as for whoever released it with his toes, he knew that it must be Lao Zhao, what purpose he could guess one or two, it was very likely to lure the snake out of the hole, and the probability of targeting Zhao Guangyi was very high.

With the existence of the Golden Kui Alliance, Lao Zhao can't do it directly to Zhao Guangyi, but once Lao Zhao really has an accident, Zhao Guangyi will definitely be desperate to find a way to get the throne, or even launch a palace coup.

Of course, these things are all speculation, Wang Chen can't tell everyone, he stretched out his hand and pressed it, stabilized the army's heart and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty won't have anything to do in a short time, what we have is time." ”

Everyone stopped talking, but their eyes were still a little uncertain, if it was really a pure rumor, they wouldn't believe it, but the problem now was that they had two people who served in the palace, and they saw the imperial doctor coming in and out of the emperor's bedroom with a worried look.

How can this not be worried?

Zhao Kuangyin really died, with their current strength, there is no hope for Zhao Defang to compete for the throne!

Yes, there is no hope at all, this is not an exaggeration, but a real description.

Seeing them like this, Wang Chen was also angry and funny, buddy is also a "boundless" national teacher outside, you don't believe it when you speak? Wang Chen smiled, "Okay, I will reveal a great news to you, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside, even if the emperor dies now, I have a great confidence that the four princes will succeed in ascending the throne!"

When Wu Ling heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Which high-ranking minister have you wooed?"

Zhang Qian also turned his worries into joy, "It's only been a day or two that someone is willing to help the four princes, and they are still a great national teacher!"

They also understand that with Zhao Defang's "face", there is no hope of letting others take refuge at all, but now, as soon as Wang Chen comes forward, he actually has a bigger face than the prince, and when no one thinks it is impossible, he really won over the big guy!

For example, Zhao Guangyi is like Yahoo that is about to go public in the 90s, everyone knows that once it is listed, it will definitely rise sharply, and the number of people who will naturally add to it is countless, Zhao Dezhao is slightly worse, but at least it is also a large enterprise that is expected to be listed.

But what about Zhao Defang?

To describe it in one word - workshop.

Yes, a small workshop, a small workshop that could collapse at any time, which famous venture capitalist would invest?

But Wang Chen did it!

The main question now is - how big is Wang Chen's face and what level of boss he has reached.

An official in his thirties hurriedly said, "National Teacher, who have you wooed?"

Another person with a mole on the corner of his eyebrows also said: "Yes, national teacher, who is it?"

"I won't say who it is, just guess the grade. Wang Chen sold it.

The thirty-year-old official boldly guessed: "From the third grade?"

Wang Chen shook his head, "No." ”

Everyone has begun to get excited, you must know that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Sanpin master is already a very good existence!

Zhang Qian immediately said: "Zheng Sanpinquan and six Cao Shangshu level?"

Wang Chen smiled: "It's not right. ”

Wu Ling inhaled, "It's difficult...... Could it be that he is a second-grade master at the level of the six books?"

They knew that since Wang Chen dared to say it, he must be a powerful figure, and the second grade of the Song Dynasty had almost touched the pinnacle of power!

Wang Chen said: "It's even more powerful than this." ”

Lu Qin said loudly: "It can't be a person at the level of a prime minister who knows the affairs of the Privy Council, the governor of the government, and the affairs of the Privy Council, right?"

Wang Chen laughed and said, "It's still not right." ”

What the?

Or is it not right?

Everyone was stunned, "Is it ...... Is it Xue Xiang or Shen Xiang or Cao Xiang?"

When they talked about these three people, they were all a little trembling in their hearts, no way, whether it was Xue Juzheng, Shen Yilun or Cao Bin, they were all super bosses who were really in power, according to their previous thinking, the big guys at this level were no longer the realm they could imagine, and they didn't dare to think of an existence that they usually couldn't imagine!

Wang Chen saw their expressions and smiled happily.

Wu Ling said dryly: "National teacher, you said it." ”

Another young official asked, "Yes, national teacher, don't sell guanzi, what level is it?"

Wang Chen smiled and said two words, "Super product!"

As soon as these two words came out of Wang Chen's mouth, the scene suddenly became silent!

Superb?

In fact, under the system of the Song Dynasty, there was no such level as supergrade, but they all heard what it meant, and the only ones who could be called supergrade were the emperor, empress and queen mother!

Emperor, Empress or Empress Dowager?

No matter which one it is, the help to Zhao Defang is immeasurable, for example, if it is the emperor, then Zhao Defang's succession can become justified, if the queen, the emperor dies, Zhao Defang can also get the news as soon as possible, and rush into the palace to make arrangements, as for the queen mother, if it is really her old man, it may be more effective than the emperor's support!

Some people may not know how much energy Empress Dowager Du has, but in fact, it can be seen from her forcing Zhao Kuangyin to set up the Golden Kui Alliance that Empress Dowager Du can influence the inheritance of the throne!

These officials present, even if their status is low, but who doesn't know what "super product" means, which means that Zhao Defang, who they took refuge in, is really likely to inherit the throne!

"Huh?"

"Oh my God!"

"This ...... Is this true?"

"Super, really super, really super??"

Wu Ling almost fainted.

Zhang Qian and the others who supported Zhao Defang as emperor were also so excited that they were about to jump up, happiness came too suddenly, and it was too unexpected, and everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves!

Only Wang Chen pursed his lips, and said in his heart that the super product has a fart use, and it really comes to the critical juncture of the battle for the throne, and it depends on whose fist is bigger, but he is not ready to reveal the information of Wu Desi, the East and West Ban of the Palace Front Division and Song Wei for the time being, for fear that this group of people will leak the news, as for saying that the super product doesn't matter, to say something unpleasant, even if there are spies from other forces among these people, they dare to question the emperor, empress or Empress Dowager Du in person when they hear the word "super product"?

And Wang Chen wished that there would be a spy to pass on the news to Zhao Guangyi or Zhao Dezhao, in that case, these two people would definitely be cranky, so as to do irrational things, once this is really the case, hey, don't need to buddies to kill Zhao Kuangyin with their own hands, there will be people who are so anxious that they can't kill Lao Zhao, naturally, Wang Chen doesn't have to let Zhao Defang bear any infamy of "killing the king", which is very important, not afraid of scribbling in the history books, but afraid that someone will take the initiative to start a war in the name of "killing the king".

Justifiably obtaining the throne, no one can speak, even if Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao are still powerful, at least they must hold their temper for a short time, Wang Chen has time to slowly fight for their rights, if someone really uses the name of killing the monarch to start a war, then the problem will return to what Wang Chen was worried about at the beginning.

Therefore, he can not let Zhao Defang bear the name of killing the king, try not to carry it, and it is best to let Zhao Guangyi end up with Lao Zhao as recorded in the history of the wild.

At that time, Zhao Defang was right.

At that time, Wang Chen can make no one speechless, and successfully become the real person in charge behind the Great Song Dynasty, of course, the premise is to use Zhao Defang to seize all the power into his own hands after he ascends the throne, as for Zhao Defang to listen to him or not, he can't help it, the entire palace is Wang Chen's power, and the emperor dares to be disobedient? Then let's consider the question of how many days he can live, why does an emperor who has no real power dare not listen to Wang Chen's words? Unless he is tired of living!
