In front of the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, the prime minister's guard of honor was lined up, and Li Zhongyi walked in four directions, slowly pacing from Santang to the yamen.

The sound of whips on the quiet street, one after another, more than 100 heavily armed Yuan Sui, and the official authority who hugged the left and right in front and back, were only higher than the pomp and circumstance of the big leaders inspecting the grassroots level.

The carriage started smoothly, and Caijiao, who had already hid in the car in advance, waited for Li Zhongyi to sit down, and then served the fragrant tea.

Li Zhongyi held the teacup in one hand and took a sip, but his mind flew into the deep palace.

According to common sense, if there is nothing important in the palace, it will not be in broad daylight to summon the Zaifu into the palace.

In this era when there is no radio, no television, and no Internet, if the prime ministers rush to the palace in a panic, it is easy to cause emotional instability among the people.

When Li Zhongyi boarded the car, he consciously ordered to go down, don't worry, and walk slowly.

Halfway to the road, the eyeliner hidden around the palace sent back the news, and the ministers entered the palace one after another.

Li Zhongyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Kang Mazi played Long Keduo's horror scene, he definitely didn't want to be played for the second time.

In fact, although Li Zhongyi did not completely lose his military power, as long as Chai Rong did not die, he could only let him be rounded and flattened in this Kaifeng City.

Unless, Li Zhongyi is ruthless, his parents, brothers and sisters, and concubines don't want it, and he directly escapes from Kaifeng City and rebels.

But the problem is that Li Zhongyi has already offended the Khitans fiercely. With his current strength, he has to deal with the military counterattack of the entire Great Zhou, and he also has to consider the Khitans who may go south at any time. The strategic dilemma of fighting on two fronts can be seen at a glance.

Once Li Zhongyi pulled up the anti-flag. Zhao Lao Er didn't talk about him, even Li Qiong would immediately draw a line with him. then decisively participated in the counterinsurgency war and became Li Zhongyi's sworn enemy.

Fortresses are always the first to be breached from within!

Li Zhongyi is still very young, and the military strength he has mastered has a great victory in the face of any military general in the DPRK and China alone. However, Chai Rong's body has collapsed and is about to embark on the road of no return, as long as Li Zhongyi does not die, he can afford to wait.

Notice. The one who has the last laugh is the real winner!

Li Zhongyi's car drove to the gate of the palace, and the atmosphere here was quite normal, and the guards in charge of guarding the inner hall did not increase significantly.

The chamberlain led the horse for Li Zhongyi, led him unhurriedly, and walked to the door of the vertical arch hall.

In front of the door of the vertical arch hall, there was no sense of tension when Li Zhongyi was deceived into the palace last time, and there were only three or four attendants standing in front of the door. and several large internal guards of the fourth class of the inner sanctum.

After Li Zhongyi stepped into the hall, he was not surprised to find that the rest of the ministers in the political hall were except for Li Qiong, who was far away in the south. It's all here.

Everyone sat on the brocade bench peacefully, or drank tea, or closed their eyes to recuperate. For Li Zhongyi's arrival, he was almost indifferent.

Li Zhongyi sat on the outermost brocade stool without revealing a trace. A palace maid with outstanding appearance took the initiative to walk over. Tea was served.

Well, it was the palace maid who came forward to serve, which just confirmed Li Zhongyi's previous judgment that it was likely to be Queen Fu who summoned the group to enter the palace.

If Chai Rong still has an appreciation for Li Zhongyi, and the kindness of his promotion makes Li Zhongyi somewhat grateful, then Queen Fu has always had a great prejudice against Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi has never figured out why Queen Fu has a bad impression of him, but she trusts Zhao Lao Er very much.

cough, in fact, it was Zhao Lao Er who took the Chai family's country. Moreover, Chai Zongxun had just turned 20 years old, and he died of a sudden illness, which is also a big mystery.

Li Zhongyi sat silently on the brocade bench and drank tea, no matter what Empress Fu asked them to enter the palace, he didn't plan to get involved.

After about two cups of tea, the chamberlain said: "The queen mother has arrived, and His Royal Highness the crown prince has arrived." ”

Under the leadership of Fan Zhen, the prime ministers stood up together, bowed their heads, and slammed them to the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be even, give a seat." Queen Fu, who had some red circles under her eyes, held the young Chai Zongxun with one hand, and signaled to everyone that there was no need to be polite.

After Empress Fu and the crown prince were seated, the ministers followed behind Fan Zhen and sat down in turn.

In front of the emperor and empress, not only do you not need to kneel and salute, but there are seats and tea to drink, so you can't knock melon seeds.

Li Zhongyi secretly sighed, and his originally depressed mood became very good.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my family has just sent a message that my mother suddenly fell ill...... It's already dead. Empress Fu had red circles in her eyes and wiped her sad tears fiercely.

Oh, I see, all the prime ministers present, in addition to knowing the inside story, suddenly realized: Dare to love is Queen Fu's mother died.

According to the rules of the imperial court, when the queen's mother died, she must send important ministers above the third rank to mourn.

Empress Fu summoned all the ministers into the palace to discuss the matter, and Li Zhongyi didn't need to think about it at all, she already understood her thoughts: she wanted to use the respect of the prime minister to save face for her mother's family.

There was no such precedent before!

Although the imperial court has always advertised that it rules the world with filial piety, it is never uncommon to send the prime minister to the country's house to mourn.

As long as it is not a matter of life and death, Li Zhongyi made up his mind and kept silent as usual.

Maybe everyone was figuring out the pros and cons behind this matter, and for a while, the hall was cold.

Wang Pu glanced at the old god's presence, he opened his mouth, and wanted to take the initiative to show favor to Queen Fu. However, he was worried that he would damage his good reputation, after all, if he flattered the queen too much, he would definitely provoke Shilin's criticism.

Li Gu kept his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, and he didn't look at Queen Fu at all. Li Gu, who has been with him for many years, knows very well in his heart that at the moment when he is critically ill, patting the queen's ass in such a hurry is likely to cause big trouble that is suspicious of Jinshang.

Wei Renpu and the Fu family, as well as Empress Fu, don't have much to do with each other, and he is now thinking more about how to support the family San Lang on the road as soon as possible.

As the new prime minister, Wu Tingzuo wanted to go to the Fu family in the Daimyo's mansion. Offer your sincerest condolences and condolences.

The problem is, after all, Diem Dinh Zuo is the new prime minister. Before Fan Zhen spoke, he was not good at getting past the prime minister. Take a direct stand.

Li Yun has always kept a straight face, he really wants to take the opportunity to count a few words from Queen Fu, the reason is actually simple, in the early years, he and Fu Yanqing had old grudges.

Before the Battle of Gaoping, Li Yun, who was strong and strong, even had the courage to collude with the Northern Han and Khitan in private, and did not take Chai Rong, the emperor, in his eyes at all.

In the vertical arch hall, everyone has a different mind. There are deep calculations of pros and cons.

Sycophants are definitely a psychological science, and if you shoot well, you can soar immediately. Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty, a very smart sycophant kung fu, made the Empress Dowager Cixi very cool, and since then she has walked through a smooth road to the top of the clouds, ranked in the feudal territory, and finally entered the military plane.

Even if Li Zhongyi had the heart to ease his relationship with Empress Fu, he was absolutely unwilling to have such a critical moment. Leave the capital.

Compared with his previous life, Zhao Lao Er was inspected in front of the palace and mastered greater military power. If Li Zhongyi hadn't been in the capital, God knows what would have happened?

Someone set their eyes on Fan Zhen's body. Everyone else can avoid this matter, but Prime Minister Fan, who is deeply trusted by Empress Fu, can not shirk it. It is even more impossible to dodge.

Anyway, everyone is here, and things have to be solved. Let the Prime Minister carry the problem.

When Li Zhongyi put down the teacup, his gaze inadvertently swept over Queen Fu. That rare beauty in the world, I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart.

This former concubine, who has been married for many years, is the current queen, why can't she give birth?

Could it be that he has drunk the avoidance soup? Once this thought hit Li Zhongyi's heart, it took root and could no longer be dispelled.

The truth that the heavenly family has no family affection, Li Zhongyi has long known it, perhaps, in order to ensure Chai Zongxun's position as the crown prince, Chai Rong deliberately secretly did something to Queen Fu?

With the rich experience of Li Zhongyi and the famous doctors, there are countless drugs that want to sterilize women. However, due to the limited grasp of medicinal properties, most of the avoidant decoctions or sterilization drugs contain musk.

Musk can promote the secretion of various glands, has sweating and diuretic effects, its water-soluble components have the effect of stimulating the uterus, a small dose of long-term smell of musk, can cause infertility, a slightly larger dose is very easy to make a woman immediately abort.

Just when Li Zhongyi was a little distracted, Fan Zhen coughed lightly and set his eyes on Li Zhongyi, who was sitting near the door.

"No blame, bother you to go to the Daimyo's Mansion, okay?" Fan Zhen is worthy of being the old and spicy prime minister in power, and his tone seems to be discussed, but in fact, it is an arrangement that has been set.

Li Zhongyi was secretly annoyed by his distraction, but in front of Empress Fu, it was really impossible for him to say anything to refuse.

It's one thing for Empress Fu to have opinions about Li Zhongyi in private, and Li Zhongyi publicly swept her face, which is definitely enough to be taken to a new political height by this cautious woman.

Facing everyone's blazing eyes, Li Zhongyi brewed a good mood and found a reason to politely refuse.

Unexpectedly, Chai Zongxun, who had been pretending to be dumb, suddenly stood up, walked in front of Li Zhongyi, recklessly took his hand, and pleaded: "Master, since the queen mother married her father, she has not returned to her hometown for many years, and I have never seen my grandmother, so you can draw a portrait for me, right?" ”

Good guy, Li Zhongyi only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, if it was just Queen Fu, he would have nothing to worry about.

The problem is that Chai Zongxun, with the respect of the crown prince, entrusted him, the prince's teacher, to draw a real portrait of his grandmother back, and with full filial piety, he really has no reason to refuse.

"Okay." Li Zhongyi gritted his teeth and was ruthless, so he had to agree to go to the Daimyo's Mansion to save face for the royal family.

Wei Renpu blinked, but what he thought in his heart was, once he died today, wouldn't Empress Fu's maiden family be going to ascend to the sky overnight?

Since Chai Rong took over the throne, among the royal relatives of this dynasty, only Chai Yuniang, a female streamer, has been crowned a princess, and the rest of the Chai family, although the lord is prominent, the position is not high, and the power is not heavy.

However, Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, is a big warlord who holds military power and territory, and such a strong relative is definitely not a blessing for the imperial court!

At the scene, Xianggong, who has similar ideas to Wei Renpu, is very crowded! (To be continued......)

PS: There is at least one more!
