In fact, when Sheng Lanci and his wife came to the front yard and told Rong Sleepy Crane not to let Gongsun Xi marry the Zhao family, the reason why Rong Sleepy Crane agreed was because of his respect for Sheng Lanci and his wife, and his love for Sheng Weiqiao, but there was another reason, that is, he was also considering transferring Zhao Shi, the current commander of the Northern Frontier Army, to a more capable commander.

For example, Sheng Lanci and his wife are tacitly acknowledged to him, Xu Zijing.

In the past two days, Rong Sleeping Crane has been thinking about how to achieve his goal without angering Zhao Shi.

But he didn't want Zhao Shi to mention it himself at this time, which made him a little surprised: "Although my uncle is from a civilian background, since ancient times, there have been many people who have been able to control the army, and there are also many cases of civilian officials controlling the army! This time, Meng Boqin defected to Ruru, and he also lured the wolf into the house, intending to trample on the jackals! If it weren't for my uncle presiding over the overall situation, I am afraid that the north would have collapsed long ago, and neither the army nor the people would have been able to escape!"

"How did you think of entering the court now?"

Zhao Shi glanced at him deeply and said, "I went to Northern Xinjiang earlier just for your father, if it was just me, I would be very unwilling." After all, your aunt went early, and I have always remembered her, and I did not continue the string. Your cousins and sisters, it's already very pitiful without your own mother to take care of you, and my father is not around, how lonely do you say?"

"Although your grandmother and your little uncle's family are dedicated to them, Mizhen is also a father now, and you should know that no matter how good others are to your children, if you don't take care of them personally, you will be indebted after all. ”

"If it weren't for the pressure of the situation, the Zhao family was forcibly tied to your father's ship by the first emperor early in the morning, I would never have stayed in the north for so long, knowing that the children under my knees are gradually growing up, but I can only spy on their appearance day by day and year by year from the family letter...... Now that I have come back to the vicinity of Chang'an by chance, I occasionally have the opportunity to reunite with my family, and I simply don't want to leave!"

"Anyway, my ability is nothing in the army, and abdicating to let Xian avoid blocking the way of a good general, and I can also enjoy the joy of family...... What's so bad?"

Rong Sleepy Crane tried it several times, and Zhao Shi said this way.

Although Rong Sleeping Crane still suspected that he had other intentions, he was also happy to see it, so after staying a few times, he agreed, and asked him about his requirements for errands after entering the court.

On this day, the uncle and nephew had a long talk, and after talking for most of the day, Zhao Shi said goodbye and left.

When he returned to the Zhao Mansion, Old Madam Qin sent someone to guard the door early in the morning, and when she saw it, she greeted him and said, "Master, Old Madam asked you to come back and go to the back hall immediately!"

When Zhao Shi arrived in the back hall, he greeted Mrs. Qin, and said, "Mother, this matter is a long story!"

After asking Mrs. Qin to wave back left and right, she stepped forward and whispered about Queen Meng, and finally said, "I have a total of two daughters under my knees, and Tao Ji has already ended up as an orphan and widow, do you want Tao Cheng to have a bad life? That Sheng Xi didn't know the identity of Queen Meng, but he still did such a thing with the queen, it can be seen that either he has true feelings for the queen, or this person doesn't know the importance of it, and he is not a person who can be entrusted with big things!"

"No matter which one it is, it's not a good match for Tao Cheng!"

"Wouldn't it be good that this family business has not been completed now?"

"You don't have to prevaricate me with such words!" Old Madam Qin said unhappily, "Men, there are occasional confusions! Anyway, the queen is not the real lord of the six palaces, and now it is said that the puppets are all worthy of her...... Even His Majesty has become a pure pretense, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is alone now! Who knows if she wants to exchange her future support for a person who is close to her chastity?!"

"There's not even such a thing at all, it's just that Mi Zhen is going to poison the queen and the queen's pregnancy sooner or later anyway, so make up a story for them to prevaricate!"

Zhao Shi listened quietly, and finally said calmly: "Mother, even if this is the case, what can you do? As you said, Mizhen doesn't need to be coerced by us at this time! Tear her face to the bottom of the matter, and don't say whether it's interesting or not, just say whether it's worth it?"

He also said, "And I have already told Mi Zhen to ask him to find someone else to preside over the Northern Xinjiang Army and let me enter the court!"

Old Madam Qin's eyes suddenly widened: "Are you crazy?!Knowing that Mi Zhen will take revenge on us, you still want to give up your military power?!"

"Not to mention that I'm not good at leading troops, just because Mi Zhen's enthusiasm for us is far less than when he was in Northern Xinjiang, and now it's the time for him to use troops, if he takes the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian, will he let him drive me away by himself?" Zhao Shi said lightly, "What's more, for King Gaomi, I have been in Northern Xinjiang for so many years, so that none of the children under my knees have grown up under my own watch!"

"Since Northern Xinjiang is no longer necessary for me at this time, what am I still doing with this?"

I took the initiative to bring it up, and Mizhen felt a little guilty and happy, so I took advantage of this effort to find a good husband for Tao Cheng in person. ”

"Presumably, even if the Sheng family still wants to continue to make trouble, Mi Zhen will always help stop it, right?"

"In this way, it can better ensure the future of Tao Ming!"

"......" Old Madam Qin was silent for a long time, and only after a while did she get tired and said, "You've thought about it, so that's it!"

Zhao Shi looked at his mother's expression, and knew that Old Madam Qin had been angry about the Zhao family's behavior of being forcibly kidnapped by the first emperor to King Gaomi for many years, and she was worried that she would end up in a miserable end, and she was afraid that she would not be able to get the corresponding reward in the end.

Now that she has handed over her military power so easily, even if she has ample reasons, for Old Madam Qin, it is tantamount to denying her tireless calculations over the years, and she can't help but be gloomy.

However, Zhao Shi didn't plan to change his mind, Old Madam Qin was tired, and he was actually tired.

The courage to retreat from the rapids is not the courage that everyone can have, but for the current Zhao family, it is the best choice.

After all, the birth of Rong Ruibin means that the status of Sheng Weiqiao, who is already deeply favored by Rong Sleeping Crane, has been further consolidated.

In this case, the Zhao family, who has an overcalculated Sheng Weiqiao criminal record, does not want to be settled by this quasi-queen or the quasi-queen in the future...... How can you not be extra knowledgeable?

Now you are not sensible, and when you get into trouble in the future, it is not so easy to pass the test if you are low!

Moreover, Zhao Shi is really fed up with the perennial separation with his children!

He also wanted to personally honor this mother for a few years while Old Madam Qin was still there.

Of course, he did this, and the Zhao family, which was originally very important in the court, may not be as good as before in the future.

The problem is that it will not fall suddenly and fall into a miserable situation.

…… Due to Zhao Shi's initiative to abdicate, the change of the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army was faster than Gongsun Xi's marriage with Huan at night.

This is mainly because Zhao Shi and Xu Zijing are not muddy people.

One decided to leave, and the other decided to take over.

made an appointment in private, and after handing over in front of a cadre of generals in the barracks, after a few greetings, Zhao Shi took the old servant and the guards to leave, while Xu Zijing stayed to establish authority and inspect...... That's it.

For Xu Zijing, who was born in the army and climbed to the position of commander by virtue of military exploits, even if he left northern Xinjiang for many years and regained his identity as a commander, he is still handy...... Back then, he was forced to leave Northern Xinjiang, but in fact, Xu Zijing, who liked martial arts and hated literature, had no interest in mixing in the court.

He has a similar preference to Old Lady Sheng, that is, to kill Ruru.

How indignant and reluctant he was when he left Northern Xinjiang back then, how excited he was to regain military power at this time.

And his inauguration directly caused panic in Chang'an City, especially the palace and Meng Guiyu.

Because Xu Zijing did not have any outstanding political achievements when he was the Marquis of Ning Wei, but when he was the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, he was worthy of the name of the meritorious service.

This person was born to eat the bowl of rice of war, and he has a close relationship with Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife.

Now that Rong Sleeping Crane has taken away his uncle, please take the throne of this uncle, who knows if he wants to do it?

Empress Dowager Meng summoned Meng Guiyu to ask for advice as soon as possible!

Meng Guiyu: "......"

He also wanted to know what to do now, okay?

"Auntie, he didn't dare. Taking a deep breath, Meng Guiyu comforted the Queen Mother, "No matter how great his merits are, no matter how famous he is, he is not the prince after all!" And His Majesty's current heir is not him, the queen and Zhaoyi are both pregnant, and we swore that the babies conceived by the concubine are all male heirs...... At this time, if Mi Zhen dares to seize the palace by force, it will be a murder of the king and usurpation of the throne! Such a reputation, with his little foundation, can also bear it?!"

But although Empress Dowager Meng is not very smart, she has only had personal experience before, and immediately retorted: "Earlier, the rebel Wang Rongjing wanted to rely on force to commit trouble! It's just that God bless the emperor, he didn't succeed! If he succeeds at that time, what do you think can be done by talking about it?!"

He also said, "And the emperor is unconscious now...... Turning around, he said that you have been falsely preaching the holy decree, but in fact, the emperor actually approves of his succession?"

Meng Guiyu's face was ugly, he was upset enough, why didn't this aunt open any pot and mention which pot?

But I still have to hold my temperament and continue to coax: "Just because the anti-king Rong Jing has already done something to refer to the deer as a horse once, and Mi Zhen is Rong Jing's own son, if you draw a scoop according to the gourd, how can people in the world be fooled again?"

"What's more, in addition to the consent of the heir's parents, the biological parents must also nod!"

"And Princess Gaomi's attitude is not to mention, King Gaomi will never agree to this!"

Empress Dowager Meng was still uneasy: "What's the use of him not agreeing? Don't you always use such words to prevaricate the mourning family! Don't you know when the mourning family doesn't know? Mizhen has no father-son friendship with Rong Jing, where can Rong Jing control him?!"

Meng Guiyu was about to answer, but at this moment, someone from the palace hurriedly ran in, and after a hasty salute, he looked at Meng Guiyu and said, "There is news from outside the palace, something happened to the eldest princess Yifeng!"

"What?" Meng Guiyu suddenly changed color, no matter whether he was in front of the Queen Mother, he stood up and strode towards the palace gate, while asking, "What happened to Guixin? Who did it?!"

He values his younger brothers and sisters, and since Meng Guihuan left, the only remaining brother and sister have almost become his heart.

Now that I heard that Meng Guixin had an accident, how can I not pay attention to it?

But even the aunt of the land has no time to pay attention!

The palace people followed up with interest, and said in fear: "I heard from the person who reported the news...... It was the work of the King of Mizhen!"
