Kou Ji led a group of soldiers and horses to the front of the vertical arch hall, and Queen Cao was also relieved to see Kou Ji.

Empress Cao covered her back with a halberd, bowed down and said, "Brother Kou ......"

Kou Ji hurriedly dodged, and quickly returned the salute, "Minister Kou Ji, see the queen's mother, don't dare to accept the queen's mother's gift." ”

Empress Cao didn't say much about this matter, pointed to the corpses of the imperial avant-garde on the ground, and said calmly: "This palace went to the palace of the concubine to ask for peace, and ran into this group of thieves plotting, saying that they wanted to murder the official family.

The palace was afraid of disturbing the thieves, so he quietly rushed to the Vertical Arch Palace, identified the hidden thieves in the imperial avant-garde of the Vertical Arch Palace, and followed the royal avant-garde to kill the thieves who came to attack.

It's just that the palace doesn't know if there are still thieves lurking in the imperial avant-garde, so they don't dare to leave the palace gate without permission.

Now that the Ministry of Kou Gong has arrived, the main palace can also breathe a sigh of relief.

I wonder what the war is going on outside the city? ”

The royal avant-garde, hearing Empress Cao's words, smiled bitterly, but no one opened their mouths to refute.

Although they have merit in killing thieves, the thieves are from the imperial avant-garde.

Empress Cao has this suspicion, and it is natural for her to have this.

Kou Ji took advantage of the light reflected in the vertical arch hall to look at the blood stains on Empress Cao's clothes, and secretly admired.

The women who came out of the Cao family really didn't have a simple one.

All of them are tiger girls.

Empress Cao was not afraid of danger, and after quickly identifying the loyal traitor, she led the imperial avant-garde to fight back.

This can be done not only by possessing strong force, but also by extraordinary courage and shrewd wisdom.

It's really good to have her by Zhao Zhen's side.

Kou Ji admired Queen Cao in his heart, but the movements in his hands did not stop, he bowed to Queen Cao and said, "Hui Niangniang, the evil head is dead." Reinforcements are clearing the remnants of the rebels. ”

When Empress Cao heard this, she let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm tired of the Ministry of Labor!"

"Don't dare!"

"Please enter the palace with the palace and report the war to the official family, so as to calm the hearts of the official family."

"As it should be."

Kou Ji left Liu Heng to lead the soldiers and horses on the imperial city, and accompanied the imperial guards to guard the gate of the vertical arch hall.

He followed Empress Cao into the Vertical Arch Palace.

One enters the temple.

Don't wait for Koji to give a gift.

I heard Zhao Zhen hurriedly ask, "Kou Ji, how is the war outside the city?" ”

Kou Ji looked around at the expressions of everyone in the vertical arch hall, and arched his hand: "Back to the official's house, the evil leader has been ambushed, and the reinforcements coming from all over the place are clearing the remnants of the rebels, I believe that in the near future, the rebellion will be put down."

When the minister was guarding the city, he heard that the rebels were in ambush in the palace, so he immediately brought people to protect the official's family. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no smile on his face for the rest of his life.

"That's good...... That's good......"

After Zhao Zhen comforted himself for a few words, a reluctant smile appeared on his face, and said, "My comfort, Kou Ji, you don't have to worry. With the queen protecting me, I can sit back and relax. ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "The queen is heroic, she can naturally protect the official family, and it is the blessing of the society that the official family can get this virtuous queen." ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, his eyes fell on Empress Cao's face, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

In the past, Zhao Zhen was thinking about the Zhang family wholeheartedly, and after this catastrophe, he also had some positions of Empress Cao in his heart.

Empress Cao felt the tenderness in Zhao Zhen's eyes, and her heart was also warm.

Just when Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao were flirting with each other, Kou Zhun shouted in a big way: "The Queen Mother still wants to use the Tianwu and Japanese armies to send troops to seize military power, but now it seems that the Tianwu and Japanese armies are not available." ”

When Liu E heard this, she snorted coldly and did not speak.

Xia Zhu and Yan Shu all frowned, and they also did not speak.

Guo Huai shouted smartly: "This rebellion can be quelled so quickly, and that is also the credit of the Queen Mother." If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Niangniang who sent someone to hide beside the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan in advance, and killed the evil leader on the spot, it would not be so easy for the soldiers and horses in the city to exterminate the rebels. ”

After Guo Huai finished shouting, he didn't forget to ask Liu E for credit.

"Right? Empress! ”

it!

Pig teammates!

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he cursed in his heart.

Guo Huai was helping Liu E ask for credit, but at the same time, he also stabbed Liu E in the heart.

The things that Liu E did behind her back, can she really get what she said in the court, and will it be Guo Huai's turn?

Do Xia Zhu and Yan Shu eat dry rice?

Liu E was furious, trembling all over, eager to swallow Guo Huai alive.

Xia Zhu and Yan Shu stared at Guo Huai, speechless in shock.

They never thought that there was such a pig teammate lurking around them.

Through the reactions of the three of them, Guo Huai also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and sat down on the ground in fright.

"Heh......"

A mocking sneer rang out in the Hanging Arch Hall.

Kou Zhun stroked his beard and said faintly: "The Queen Mother actually knew in advance that the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan was going to usurp the throne......

After a pause, he said: "But I didn't inform the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, nor did I inform the official family ......."

"Awesome!"

The last three words, Kou Zhun said in a sarcastic tone.

Everyone in the vertical arch hall looked at Liu E's gaze, and it became very strange.

Those important ministers who had helped Liu E speak before couldn't wait to hide from Liu E at the moment.

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in pain.

There are some things that he knows in his heart, but he doesn't announce them to the public, so he has an opportunity to cover them up.

But after announcing it to the public, then he must take a stand.

Liu E's actions are not exaggerated to describe as 'ill-intentioned'.

Zhao Zhen must punish Liu E to a certain extent before he can give an explanation to the hundred officials, as well as the soldiers and people who died in the rebellion.

"Hey......"

Zhao Zhen sighed.

The mother-son relationship he worked hard to maintain was finally buried in the hands of Liu E.

Zhao Zhen was about to open his mouth and asked Chen Lin to escort Liu E back to the palace again.

However, he had just opened his mouth and had not yet made a sound.

I heard Liu E grit her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yuanyan is the blood of Taizong after all, the brother of the first emperor, and the uncle of the official family. If he has the intention to usurp the throne, but he can't bear it, who can help him?

Even if the mourner speaks out, who can punish him?

The mourning family sent people to hide around Zhao Yuanyan, also just in case.

The mourning family did this all for the sake of the official family. ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he said loudly with disdain: "What a bunch of high-sounding reasons. If the Queen Mother was really for the good of the official family, why didn't she let Zhao Yuanyan kill him when he waved his troops into Bianjing. Instead, he had to wait until Zhao Yuanyan hit the foot of the imperial city and the imperial city was in danger before making a move?

If the queen mother is really for the good of the official family, how can she take this opportunity to force the palace to the official family and force the official family to hand over the military power?

What to say is good for the official family.

It's all an excuse.

You just want to satisfy your own selfish desires, you just want to reappear in the court, empty the official family, and be a hidden emperor.

Everything you do is to satisfy your lust for power.

Since it is to satisfy your own selfish desires, don't always talk about official affairs.

The old man felt disgusted when he heard it. ”

Liu E was just about to sneer at each other, but she heard Kou Zhun continue: "As the saying goes, the most poisonous woman's heart, this is really true. You are not the biological mother of the official family, and you have no kindness to the official family.

You just want to use the official family to achieve your goal of controlling the imperial court. ”

When Liu E heard this, she was shocked.

Kou Zhun said so many words, the most ruthless was the sentence 'You are not the biological mother of the official family after all'.

This was not said to Liu E, but to Zhao Zhen.

This is to divide her and Zhao Zhen's feelings.

"Mourning the family...... Mourning ......"

Kou Zhun snorted coldly, "Enough! Do you still want to be clever even now? Who allowed you to kill Zhao Yuanyan? Who gave you the qualifications to kill Zhao Yuanyan? ”

Xia Zhu saw that Liu E was speechless by Kou Zhun, so he decisively opened his mouth to help, "Isn't it right for the Queen Mother to kill the traitor?" ”

Kou Zhun sneered: "Without asking the official family, you killed an imperial uncle, where did you go to the official family?" Do you still have an official family in your eyes? ”

Xia Zhu opened his mouth, just about to speak.

I heard Kou Zhun continue: "And! When you sent someone to kill Zhao Yuanyan, did you ever think about how to explain to the King of Chu?! ”

Liu E, Xia Zhu, and Yan Shu stood in place in a daze.

When they set up the bureau, they never considered Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu.

Liu E, who was scolded by Kou Zhun, couldn't speak, so he stopped paying attention to them.

Instead, he said to Kou Ji: "After the rebellion is suppressed for a while, quickly send the old man to the Ruian Courtyard." The old man didn't want to accompany some fools and was burned to death in the palace by the King of Chu. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

In the past.

Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Chu, ordered the East Palace for the sake of his two cousins.

Now that his own brother has died, he will probably order the entire palace.

The crisis in the palace did not disappear because of Zhao Yuanyan's death.

On the contrary, because of Zhao Yuanyan's death, it became more dangerous.

When Zhao Zhen heard Kou Zhun's words, he lifted his heart again.

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Zhun with an ugly face, and said in a low voice: "Master Taishi, don't leave the palace, if the eldest uncle makes trouble, you have to come forward to stop one or two." ”

Kou Zhun stiffened his face and said unhappily: "Official, the old man is over sixty years old, and he is already an old bone, but he can't stand the toss." ”

As long as it wasn't Zhao Yuanyan killed by Kou Ji, how Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, made a fuss, Kou Zhun didn't care at all.

No matter how much trouble Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, makes, it is Liu E's pot.

No one would blame a man of true temperament.

will blame Liu E for causing trouble.

Zhao Zhen said with a bitter face: "I and Kou Ji, I can't stop Uncle Huang." ”

After all, Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Chu, went crazy, and he didn't even care about the throne within reach, so how could he care about this nephew who had just ascended the throne for a long time.

Zhao Zhen was able to send someone to forcibly take down Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu.

But if Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, was forced to harm himself, he could only watch Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, burn something to vent his anger.

Kou Zhun raised his eyebrows and snorted: "That's not good, Kou Ji wants to go back to the house with the old man." The old man has been in poor health these days, and he needs Kou Ji to wait at the bedside. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji with a distressed gaze.

Kou Ji shrugged his shoulders and spread his palms, indicating that he could not do anything.

Empress Cao saw Zhao Zhen's embarrassment and stepped forward slightly, "Please also ask the Taishi to stay in the palace and help the official family relieve the siege." ”

Kou Zhun's eyes fell on Queen Cao, and said slightly respectfully: "This time, the queen stepped forward, which really let the old man see the heroic women." Far better than some of the people who are behind the scenes.

The Great Song Dynasty has such a queen as you, which is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty.

If you really want the good of the official family, you should take the official family out to avoid trouble, and let Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, make trouble.

When he finished making trouble, he was angry.

Then send someone to reconcile it. ”

Empress Cao saluted Kou Zhun and said seriously: "If the official family escapes from the battle, it is not appropriate to throw the trouble to a group of slaves and maids. I heard that the Taishi had founded a school outside the city and transferred it to the children of the poor family, and the palace was willing to save some money from the monthly order and provide for 100 students. ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhun groaned.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "I am willing to spend some money from the inner treasury to support all the poor students in the academy founded by Taishi. ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhun shook his head and said, "If the money is not rich, the old man doesn't care, and the old man is not short of money." As a minister, the old man should relieve the worries of the official family. ”

The people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Instead of feeling that it was wrong for Kou Zhun to take the opportunity to knock on the bamboo bar, he felt that Kou Zhun knocked a little lightly.

The school founded by Kou Zhun recruited poor students in order to cultivate talents for the imperial court.

It is naturally a matter of course to ask the court to contribute some money.

In fact.

has the identity of Kou Zhun and founded the school, even if he doesn't say anything, Zhao Zhen should also reward a sum of money from time to time to subsidize the school.

However.

Bad things like to come one after another.

Just when Kou Zhun just promised Zhao Zhen to stay in the palace and help Zhao Zhen deal with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu.

Two bloodied instrument supervisors carried Zhao Yuanyan's head and entered the vertical arch hall.

Unwaiting for the masters of the instrument to return to Liu E.

I saw Kou Zhun staring at the heads in the hands of the instrument supervisors in horror, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who?!" Whose?! ”

Zhao Zhen shouted with a blue face: "Talk back!" ”

Although the master of the instrument supervisor said that Liu E was in control on the surface, they did not dare to disobey Zhao Zhen in public.

Immediately.

The instrument supervisor who was carrying the human head said in a deep voice: "Back to the official's house, this is the head of the rebel leader!" ”

Zhao Zhen stumbled down from the imperial steps, ran to the instrument supervisor master, stared at the head carefully, and after seeing it clearly, he took three or five steps back in horror.

Kou Zhun jumped up from the beauty couch as if his butt had been burned by fire, and screamed.

"Trouble!"

Kou Zhun quickly rushed to Kou Ji's side, and pulled Kou Ji to run out of the palace.

while running out.

While shouting at Empress Cao, he said: "Please also ask the queen to take the official family to live in the royal palace outside the city for a few days to avoid trouble." ”

The master of the instrument prison killed Zhao Yuanyan, leaving behind the whole corpse, and Kou Zhun could still maneuver around.

After all, the fault lies with Zhao Yuanyan.

Kou Zhun justified and refuted with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu.

But now the master of the instrument prison not only killed Zhao Yuanyan, but also cut off Zhao Yuanyan's head, so the fun is great.

Even if Zhao Yuanyan made a big mistake, he shouldn't have his head cut off.

That was his last dignity as a royal family.

Now that dignity is gone.

Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, was bound to be angry.
