Zhang Dian slammed directly into Lin Long's shoulder, knocking her into a panic, and when he walked in aggressively, Tai Hou looked straight ahead expressionlessly. Shao Bowen heard the Queen Mother sigh very slightly—a sigh that was extremely imperceptible.

Shao Bowen turned his head, this sigh was overshadowed by Zhang Dian's angry voice, he raised his arms and walked over, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing point. He was old, but the sharpness of his eyes was not inferior to Shao Bowen's, and the gaze of everyone looking at him together could not make him timid.

He walked in this cold and huge hall, which was a place he was all too familiar with, and every day when he went to court, he always arrived early, and looked at the officials in the court, who were late, or tired, and were all taught by him. He doesn't like anyone, and he is very strict with everything, and his harshness is also reflected in his view of nothing, as long as he is incapable, no matter how likable he is, he can't stay for long.

He walked over and said sharply: "Queen Mother! The old minister has been waiting for you for so long, I can't imagine that now, you still have the leisure to talk to people here!...... "He glanced at Liu Anshi and Shao Bowen, snorted coldly in his nose, and said with a smile: "I can't think of it, it's because of these two people." Why, the Queen Mother is reluctant to execute her old acquaintances because she hasn't seen them for a long time?"

The Queen Mother said calmly: "When did the mourning family say that they wanted them to die?"

Zhang Dian was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the Empress Dowager who ordered the Weichen to arrest them?" Wechen thought that the Empress Dowager meant this, and almost cut them first...... However, Weichen thought that the emperor was still unconscious, so even if Weichen wanted to 'play', he couldn't play anywhere, so there was no need to be in such a hurry, so he gave up. ”

Although he said this to the Queen Mother, his eyes glanced at Liu Anshi on the side. Liu Anshi was very angry, and when he looked at him, his eyes were as if he was about to kill. Seeing his reaction, Zhang Dian was proud in his heart, and said: "Lord Liu, I was too anxious to see you, and I was too busy, so I directly asked a few little minions to clean you up, the means may be rude, Lord Liu must not be surprised." ”

Liu Anshi sneered: "I understand, Prime Minister Zhang is very busy, working day and night, but be careful about your body!"

"I'm in good health, don't worry. The prime minister has been doing it for a few years, except for the occasional cold, he has never felt unwell. Zhang Dian raised his head and smiled, "After all, I haven't suffered any major crimes, let alone inhuman torture in the prison, I don't have to worry about my life and death, my old man is very strong." ”

However, Zhang Dan's hatred of Liu Anshi is not because Liu Anshi is a "flashy" person; if Liu Anshi can be regarded as flattering, then there is no one in the world who cannot be flattered. Although Liu Anshi's status is slightly lower than him, he is his equally deadly opponent, once the two start to argue, the court will immediately become a battlefield, you come and go to the death, I can't wait to drag each other into the infernal hell, and the grudge has been a long-standing thing.

"You can't say it too much, Prime Minister Zhang. The atmosphere was like a spark bursting, Liu Anshi suppressed his anger and said slowly, "You can't say too much, this is the truth I realized in prison." After all, people don't know when they will run out of luck. ”

Zhang Dian said disdainfully: "No matter when, it will not be this time." He lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Lord Liu was too bored in the days when he was a prisoner, and he never said a word to me, why is he still talking to me now?" He turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, it was Wei Chen who was impulsive just now, thinking that the Queen Mother was looking for him for something, but I didn't expect that it was he who kept talking so that the Queen Mother had no time to pay attention to Wei Chen's request, right?"

The Queen Mother said in a cold voice: "You are quite bold. What did the mourning family do before, what did it say, and what does it have to do with you?"

Zhang Dian smiled: "Yo, Weichen forgot." Weichen has been in the court for many years, watching the emperor grow from a child to an adult day by day, he didn't understand anything at first, and he needed the support of the queen mother, and the minister also saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart......"

"Enough. The Queen Mother couldn't stand his repeated crossings and delays, and said with a thin and angry face, "What do you want to say to the mourning family?"

This remark is in the heart of Zhang. He knelt down, his head still held high, his voice raised higher than just now, and said, "Queen Mother, until now, are you still living in illusion and don't want to believe in reality?"

The Queen Mother sat down in a chair next to the emperor's seat, the reflections of the surrounding walls stung her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were lowered, and a cold light was shining from them, and she said, "'What has come to this'? What is it, to what extent, why hasn't the mourning family heard of it?" That being said, cold sweat kept seeping out, like cold dew in the early morning.

"Is the Queen Mother still pretending not to know, but still refusing to let go? Seeing that the Queen Mother's attitude was calm, Zhang Dian was even more resentful, and gritted his teeth and said, "Queen Mother, I don't know if you still remember the situation when the first emperor was in poor health, and the first emperor held on for a few days before he died?"

At the mention of this matter, the Queen Mother felt very uncomfortable, and when she spoke again, her voice was like a steel string plucked, a little tremor in the silence, and she also raised her head and said: "The emperor has already driven the crane to the west, and there is no need to mention this matter." ”

Zhang Dian smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it again? Weichen knows that when the rules should not be mentioned, the Queen Mother will start talking about the rules." Weichen understands that the Queen Mother has always believed that 'more things are better than less', but that is the rule of the harem, which is different from the rules of the previous dynasty. The Queen Mother doesn't have to think about it, if you don't want to answer Weichen, Weichen will answer for you. Three days! From the beginning of the appearance of symptoms, from the beginning of the decay of the former emperor's body, he was in a deep coma, and only lasted three days! Three days later, he drove west. Do you still remember what kind of chaotic situation was in the palace at that time? The first emperor died suddenly, the situation became a mystery, and at that time Weichen was rushing to find a way to cure the emperor, who would have expected that the queen mother had already made her own initiative and supported the young emperor to the throne......

The Queen Mother said: "Are you complaining about the choice of the Mourning family? Is there any problem with the Mourning family? The eldest Praise King Zhao Shen has been abolished as the crown prince by the former emperor, and then disappeared quickly, do you want to find him back to be the emperor? Impossible." Shoot them in order, and the next thing is the emperor. The choice of the mourners is reasonable and reasonable, so what are you not satisfied with? Is it because you are not present, so you are not at ease or what?"

"The Queen Mother," Zhang Dian said with a smile, "Looking at the current situation and the situation of the emperor, do you think your choice was right at the beginning? I chose an emperor who was so weak that he was riddled with diseases, had a cowardly personality, and was not yet under control, and now he doesn't even have a single heir, so is his existence really necessary?"

Liu Anshi shouted angrily: "Prime Minister Zhang, you are really bold! Do you mean to say that the emperor himself is a 'problematic' person?"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and interrupted: "The mourning family has something to say." The emperor has no heirs, and it is by no means his own problem. That was the belly of his favorite Empress Liu, who was not angry, and she gave birth to a few times, all of them were monsters. The mourning family was really scared, and then simply asked someone to pour red flowers on her, so that she would never be able to have children, so as to alleviate the horror in the mourning family's heart. But you have also seen that the emperor still only favors her alone, and at this age, the mourning family can't interfere. So Prime Minister Zhang, if you want to say that the emperor 'has a problem', the mourning family is the first to disagree. ”

"That's not what I said, Queen Mother. There is a problem, but Lord Liu said it. But it doesn't matter. Zhang Dian said slowly, "The point is that the emperor's situation is very critical now, I didn't want to say it, but if the emperor is in the same situation as the previous emperor, then with the emperor's current weaker physique, and his past of having his soul replaced, it is really unknown how long he can last." If there is still no way to cure the emperor, Queen Mother, do you still want to 'repeat the mistakes of the past'?"

The Queen Mother's eyelashes trembled, her brows furrowed, and her eyes were piercing, it was a sparkling lake after a stone fell.

Shao Bowen raised his head in silence and gentleness, his eyes were calm, and it was a cloudless sky. There was a faint smile in his eyes - ah, I see, it turned out to be such a past, it turned out that the secret of the royal family that my father said was this.

While he was thinking, the Queen Mother spoke: "Then Zhang Dian, what are your next plans?"

Just what he wants. Zhang Dian immediately said: "The minister thinks that the emperor is in danger and may not be able to be saved, and once there is a battle for the throne, the country will be in turmoil." Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to establish who will be the new emperor. ”

After listening to what he said with her eyes closed, the Queen Mother sneered and said solemnly: "The mourning family understands what you mean. The country is unfortunate, and the emperor has no sons, so he is prone to the world's changes, so he should make a decision early. ”

Zhang Dian didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so compliant with him, he was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, the Queen Mother Mingjian, the Queen Mother said this, and Weichen was relieved." ”

"—Queen Mother. Liu Anshi stepped forward and wanted to say something, but Shao Bowen pulled him back and whispered in his ear: "Don't interfere when making decisions." ”

"But—"

Shao Bowen said: "Liu Anshi, you are no longer a strategist. You're just a prisoner now. Wake up. ”

Liu Anshi was choked half to death, and then he reacted, so he had to give up and calm down.

"Emperor Xian, that is, Emperor Shenzong, had a total of fourteen sons. "But from the first son to the fifth son, and the seventh, eighth, and tenth sons, all of them died." The emperor is the sixth son. According to the order, there are five imperial brothers under him, namely the ninth son Shen Wang Zhao Ji, the eleventh son Duan Wang Zhao Ji, the twelfth son Yan Wang Zhao Yu, the thirteenth son Jian Wang Zhao Bi, and the fourteenth son Yue Wang Zhao Si. Then, on the point of inheriting the unification......"

He looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, and her face was extremely solemn. After pondering for a long time, the atmosphere was so silent that it was about to turn into stones, and finally, she got up from her seat and stepped down, her expression relaxed, and she said slowly: "You all know that among the several princes of the first emperor, there is no son of the mourning family, and even the current emperor is not the son of the mourning family. Therefore, the mourning family will never favor anyone, and as for who will inherit the throne, it is naturally competent, and the mourning family does not matter. ”

"It's even better that way. "Then in the order of the eldest and youngest, will—"

"What?" the Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "Deciding who the emperor is is a matter for civil and military officials to discuss together, and the mourning family can't just listen to your side." Do you think it's appropriate for you to go and finish the things that the mourning family has given you, and then wait for the civil and military officials to do what they should do last night, and then come to discuss this matter when the time is right?"

"Wait, this—" Zhang Dian said, "but the Queen Mother, the emperor is already ......"

"What is already?" the Queen Mother said slightly, "The emperor is still doing well, and there is still the best famous doctor in Bianjing City who is treating him." ”

Zhang Dian raised his head sharply and said, "Lin is stunned, but isn't he already ......?"

"What's going on?"

The indistinguishable voices of the male and female sounded faintly, the miserable sound of the flute in the silence of the distance. When the Queen Mother heard this voice, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the door with anticrative anticrisy - a beautiful man with a noble and compelling handsome man took a cup of tea and strode in leisurely, with an elegant gait like flowing clouds, a light gait, his temperament was extremely graceful, his face was extremely feminine and charming, and his snow-white face was clean and dazzling.

Compared with Zhang Dun's bold rampage, he is more natural and calm, as if he is a fox goblin that took root here hundreds of years ago, and the Queen Mother is his root, where the Queen Mother is, he follows him, the two are attracted to each other, and there is little separation. His eyebrows were raised, and his jawline showed an extremely smooth arc as he bowed slightly. His lips opened slightly, and he said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhang, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, can you stand this old bone?"

Zhang Dun took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and said, "Father-in-law Tong, what kind of wind blew you here?"

"Do you still need to ask, the one who can make me worry about it day and night is naturally the Queen Mother. Tong Guan smiled and showed the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother has been wronged, if I don't show up again, the Queen Mother will cry when I turn around, I don't know how many people I want to ...... the Nine Clans."

Zhang's complexion became less pretty. Seeing Zhang Dian, who is not afraid of anyone, only when he sees Tong Guan, he feels that he has encountered a natural enemy. Tong Guan is like an unfathomable, and impenetrable secret, his smile hides infinite murderous intentions, since Zhang Duan offended him, and he quietly rectified Zhang Dian's four sons one by one, Zhang Duan no longer dared to be arrogant in front of him. He is not as powerful and angry as the annoying child of Duanwang, but he is a person who does terrible things, a reckless person - even if everyone else is reasonable, his father-in-law can be willful and unreasonable: who let the queen mother spoil him!

“...... Father-in-law Tong came really at the right time. Zhang Dian smiled, "Weichen is discussing important matters with the Queen Mother, and it just so happens that Gonggong Tong is not there." ”

"What about now?" Tong Guan said casually, walked over here without stopping, picked up the cup, put it on his mouth and blew it gently, and then sent it to the queen mother's mouth, and said softly: "The queen mother, the slave heard that you want to talk to someone, thinking of the dry and cold of this winter, if your beautiful voice is broken, it is really worth the loss." So the servant asked someone to make some rose Pu'er tea, and you can take a sip to warm your body and moisten your throat. The temperature is still the temperature you are most accustomed to, so you can drink it with confidence...... Yes. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "It's still the most intimate to mourn the family." Tong Guan never makes the mourning family angry. ”

"The Queen Mother should be happy all day long, and she shouldn't be angry. provoked the queen mother, the slave has always felt that he is a bad person. The Queen Mother drank slowly and boiled a whole pot of tea. Tong Guan said.

When the Queen Mother finished drinking tea, Tong Guan looked up at Zhang Dian and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, what did you just say? I heard you talking about 'Mr. Mu' in Bianjing City, didn't you?" He smiled, his eyes were unfathomable pools of lake water.

Zhang Dian said: "Ah, yes. That Lin Jingjing, it stands to reason that he should be dead. The dead do not come to the palace for healing. So, Wei Chen thought, could it be that someone is pretending to be ......"

The Queen Mother burst out laughing. The Queen Mother's voice was as crisp as a wind chime, striking, hitting her heart. Zhang Dian looked at the Queen Mother in surprise. She was so stunningly beautiful that the years had left almost no trace on her.

After laughing, the Queen Mother slowly smiled, rubbed her temples and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, your imagination really makes the mourning family laugh! What do you think, use the disguise technique to pretend to be Lin Jingjing, and then go to murder the emperor?"

Zhang Dian fell into the tip of the bull's horns at this moment, and was a little puzzled, and asked: "That...... How's that?"

"There is only one Lin Jingjing in Bianjing, that's right. But Lin Jingzhen also has a daughter, whose ability is comparable to his. Since Lin Jingzhen couldn't save him, he could only let his daughter come here for him. ”

"What?" Zhang Dian suddenly felt five thunderbolts, and stumbled, "Female...... Daughter?Lin Jingzhen has a daughter?"

"Yes, Prime Minister Zhang, haven't you almost had 'other' sons and daughters several times, don't you make a fuss. But Prime Minister Zhang, I also have a question for you......"

Tong Guan pounded the shoulder for the Queen Mother, neither so slight that it was powerless, nor so heavy that it smashed the bones. But at this moment, his eyes were like a sharp sword piercing past, stabbing into Zhang Dun's body.

Tong Guan raised his voice and asked, "Prime Minister Zhang, it's His Royal Highness Duanwang to find Lin Jingjing." Lin was stunned and died, it was just now. And it was my business to follow Duanwang all the way to Lin Jingzhen's residence and see Lin Jingzhen's body. But I am very sure that when Lin Jing died, there was no witness from anyone other than me and His Royal Highness King Duan. I'm very sensitive to my surroundings. ”
