As soon as Zhao Xu's voice fell, the people he brought quickly rushed into the hall and began to clean up.

When Empress Dowager Xiang heard that Zhao Xu was going to send her out of the palace, her face was indifferent, and she said disdainfully: "You want to dispose of me outside the palace?" Is this any different from being in the palace? ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Where the queen mother says, how can there be a reason for a son to deal with his mother in the world." Didn't my mother miss my father? I sent the queen mother to the closest place to heaven, how about the Yuqing Temple outside the city? ”

Just now, from the words of the Empress Dowager Xiang and the smell of sandalwood, Zhao Xu thought of a way - there were a lot of women in the Song Dynasty clan!

On the grounds of missing the Empress Dowager, it is very appropriate to send out of the palace to cultivate or visit the Buddha to express sorrow!

Empress Dowager Xiang was finally really moved, her eyes were flustered, and she said, "You want me to become a monk?" ”

This 'monk' is really a 'monk', but it's not just out of the palace, who cares about life and death outside the palace? Even if someone asks, a sentence of 'sick duke' can gag everyone's mouth!

Zhao Xu had already turned around and said, "Liu Heng, take care of the queen mother, if something happens to her, you will all be buried with her." ”

Liu Hengyi held the handle of the knife and said with a deep color: "Obey the order!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu's back, her face was as pale as paper, as if she had expected the ending, she looked at Zhao Xu's back, and shouted urgently: "You let me go, I promise, after the old woman dies, I won't do anything, you are pro-government, you are the emperor, I promise!" ”

The so-called 'guarantee' is worthless in Zhao Xu's eyes.

He strode out of the Qingshou Hall and went straight to the palace gate.

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu's back, her body suddenly slumped on the chair, there was no trace of blood on her face, and her eyes were full of fear.

Zhao Xu dealt with the Empress Dowager Xiang and hurried to the palace gate.

He has no real power, Empress Dowager Gao is in a coma, if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, he and Empress Dowager Gao must be the soul of the sword!

Zhao Xu passed through the Daqing Gate and came to the Xuande Gate, only to see that there were torches everywhere upstairs and downstairs, as bright as day.

Seeing that there was no fight, Zhao Xu was relieved, took a deep breath, relieved his nervousness, and stepped forward expressionlessly.

Chu You quickly came over to greet him, and while accompanying Zhao Xu to the city wall, he said in a low voice: "Official, they don't seem to have the intention of breaking into the palace, but they haven't retreated either, they seem to be waiting for something." ”

Zhao Xu didn't know in his heart whether the relationship between the Empress Dowager Xiang and the outside of the palace was in collusion with others; Who is this Meng Yuan and Zhao Hao, and what is the purpose of breaking into the palace, they can't be immediately explored.

"Zhou He, what did he say?" Zhao Xu's footsteps did not stop.

Chu You said: "No one dares to believe him now, he is afraid when he sees so many swordsmen, he doesn't dare to say it clearly, his words are vague, King Yan and Meng Yuan don't believe him." Later, he said that there was something wrong with Cining Hall and called him back. ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly when he listened, and went up the city wall quietly.

Zhao Xu stood on the city wall, looking at the black and oppressive human heads below, as well as the cold swords and soldiers flashing everywhere, his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly, and he couldn't suppress his nervousness.

If this one is not good, the soldiers under the city will rush up and chop Zhao Xu into meat paste with the knives in their hands!

But Zhao Xu knew very well that he couldn't retreat, let alone let anyone see his nervousness, he secretly held his breath, still expressionless, and when his eyes swept in the crowd, he saw his old father-in-law, his beauty Meng's grandfather, Du Yuhou of the guards of the infantry yamen, Meng Yuan.

Next to Meng Yuan stood a middle-aged man in a beautiful dress and very wealthy - Zhao Xu's second uncle, Zhao Hao, the king of Yan.

Zhao Xu looked at the two quietly, judging their positions and thinking about countermeasures.

Zhao Hao and Meng Yuan also saw Zhao Xu coming, but they didn't move, and they were also looking at Zhao Xu.

On weekdays, the official family, who is as gentle as jade and silent, as if he has no anger, actually did such a big thing tonight - seized the military power of the palace and blocked the palace!

The current palace is an endless abyss for Zhao Hao and Meng Yuan, it is pitch black, you can't see anything, you can't hear it, and you don't know what happened inside.

Meng Yuan looked at Zhao Xu for a while, lowered his head in thought, and stepped forward.

Zhao Xu watched Meng Yuan come over, his heart tightened, and in a blink of an eye, he suddenly shouted: "Zhao Hao, Meng Yuan, what are you going to do?" Lead troops to block the palace gate, are you going to rebel? ”

Zhao Xu's big drink was extremely abrupt in the cold and silent night, and it spread very far, and everyone present almost heard it clearly.

Meng Yuan's footsteps immediately stopped, and he looked at Zhao Xu with a straight face, his brows furrowed.

Zhao Hao was startled when he heard Zhao Xu's shouting, and hurriedly ran over and shouted at Zhao Xu on the city wall: "Official, we are just here to see the queen mother, and we have no offense, and we also ask the official family to let the queen mother come out to see it." ”

Zhao Hao is the half-brother of Zhao Xu's father, Shenzong, and the Empress Dowager Gao is naturally his mother-in-law.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Hao's expression and snorted coldly: "You brought the people who guarded the Yamen of the infantry army to surround the palace gate, and let your grandmother come out to see you, Zhao Hao, can't you wait to usurp the throne?" Meng Yuan, and you, do you all have to rebel? Where is the commander of the three divisions, get out of here! ”

Zhao Xu shouted, his voice was domineering and stern, echoing endlessly in front of the palace gate.

Many of the people under the walls looked at each other with fear on their faces, they were not here to rebel.

Zhao Hao was flustered by Zhao Xu's eyes, and said again and again: "Don't misunderstand, the official family, I just came to visit the queen mother, I have no other intentions, I will never dare to mess around, retreat, retreat, give me a ...... back."

Although Zhao Xu looked down on Zhao Hao's expression, he also roughly understood that the backbone should be this Meng Yuan.

Who is this Meng Yuan?

Zhao Xu groaned in his heart, continued to take the lead on his face, occupied the righteousness, and scolded loudly: "Presumptuous! Is that how you came to see your grandmother with so many troops? I think you want to kill your mother and kill the king, and plot rebellion and usurpation! I'm standing here, not taking a step back, trying to kill my grandmother, stepping over my corpse! All the soldiers obey the order, I will live and die with you, and fight to the death with these traitors and traitors! ”

Zhao Xu's voice was resolute, and he snatched the knife of a soldier beside him and held it high in his hand for everyone under the city wall to see.

Zhao Xu gave an order, and the soldiers on the city wall drew their bows one after another, raised their guns, and aimed them at the city.

Countless people under the city wall changed color, and many people couldn't help but retreat, and the neat formation became chaotic.

Meng Yuan listened to Zhao Xu's words, secretly screamed in his heart, looked around, and didn't know whether he was worried about the shaking of the army's heart, or who he was looking at, he was silent for a moment, and then took two steps forward, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "The official family has misunderstood." The minister came here because he was worried that someone would make a rebellion and plot to kill the official family and the empress dowager, and he had no intention of being a minister. Please see the Empress Dowager. ”

Zhao Xu looked at him, clutched the handle of the knife, and said, "Come on, put the spider plant, invite King Yan and Marquis Meng Duyu to come up, and follow me to see my grandmother." ”

Chu You has always been very nervous, worried that these people are really desperate to attack the city, and this bit of people in his hands can't be stopped at all, not to mention that the situation in the palace is unknown, and I don't know if there is their internal response.

Seeing that Zhao Xu had regained the initiative in a few words, he immediately waved his hand and ordered someone to prepare a hanging basket.

Zhao Hao listened to Zhao Xu's words and subconsciously retreated.

If this enters the palace, life and death are not all up to Zhao Xu. If Zhao Xu really wanted to seize power and assassinate the Empress Dowager, he would definitely be dead end!

Meng Yuan also frowned, and Zhao Xu's words blocked him at both ends. When he entered, he was sure that he was a knife and he was a fish; But if you don't go in, it's a rebellion.

How to choose this?

This is the power that the emperor is born with, and not everyone dares to rebel, especially in a hurry.

Meng Yuan knelt on the ground with a solemn expression.

The situation was more dangerous than he expected, and the officials upstairs not only controlled the forbidden army in the palace, but also used sharp words, directly pressing them to the edge of 'rebellion', unable to move, and there was no way out.
