Zhao Zhen understands the thoughts of Kou Ji and Liu Heng.

It is precisely because Zhao Zhen understands that Zhao Zhen is unwilling to continue to give him two problems.

He forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart and said the words to kill Zhao Yuanyan.

Kou Ji solemnly arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order......"

Kou Ji withdrew his hand and looked at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun smiled and said, "Don't worry......"

Kou Ji nodded, and said to Chen Lin, who was standing beside Zhao Zhen without saying a word: "There is Lao Chen's father-in-law, who protects the official family and my grandfather." ”

Chen Lin bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "The Kou Gong Department only needs to do big things, the official family and the Taishi, our family will take care of it." ”

Kou Ji didn't say anything more, and took Liu Heng out of the capital hall.

As soon as Kou Ji left.

Chen Lin said loudly: "With the imperial avant-garde, stationed in the capital hall. ”

With Chen Lin's order.

The imperial guards in the palace all gathered in front of the capital hall.

One by one, they are wearing armor and holding blades, and they are all full of murderous aura.

Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair, staring at the imperial guards outside the capital hall, gritted his teeth and said, "She knew that the Eighth Emperor Uncle was going to usurp the throne, but she didn't tell me. I was very unhappy.

But if it's not happy, it's not happy.

I still have to keep her safe.

Chen Lin, divided into eighty percent of the imperial avant-garde, went to the dormitory of the Queen Mother, Concubine Li, and Concubine Yang. ”

Chen Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly admonished: "Official, don't do it." If there are thieves lurking in the palace, the two percent of the imperial avant-garde will not be able to protect you. ”

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Do as I order." ”

"Official!"

"Are you a slave, or am I a slave......"

Chen Lin lowered her head with a bitter face and said in a mournful voice: "Slave maid...... Compliance ......"

Just as Chen Lin was about to leave, Kou Zhun patted the beauty couch he sat down on and shouted: "By the way, go to the imperial dining room, and let the chef of the imperial dining room cook some of the old man's favorite food and send them over." ”

Chen Lin paused, faced Kou Zhun, agreed, and then withdrew from the Shishitang.

After Chen Lin left.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Zhun and said in a mournful voice: "Master, tell me, what should I do?" ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, faced Zhao Zhen, and said suspiciously: "What should be done, Kou Ji will do it for you, you just sit down and wait for the news." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the location of Liu E's bedroom, and said helplessly: "I mean...... If the Queen Mother appears in the Shishitang today, how should I deal with it? ”

Kou Zhun was stunned again, and pretended to be very casual and said: "Then it depends on whether the official family is willing to hand over the power in his hands." This matter is all up to the wishes of the officials, and if you ask the minister, the minister doesn't know how to answer. ”

Zhao Zhen said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Taishi has always been wise, can't he give me an idea?" ”

Kou Zhun patted his forehead and pouted: "The old minister has resigned, and the affairs in the court, the old minister should not take care of it." This time he returned to the court, and Wang Zeng and Li Di begged hard, so the old minister had to come out to preside over the overall situation.

Once the world is peaceful, Lao Chen will still have to return to Ruian Town and continue to open a school. ”

Zhao Zhen said with an ugly face: "I don't want to hand over power. Master, you have worked tirelessly to train me for many years, and you have taught me hand-in-hand for many years. Now is the time for me to confirm the knowledge imparted by the Master, and I don't want to be in the background.

But there was no way to stop the Queen Mother from reaching into the court. ”

Kou Zhun pursed his lips and said indifferently: "The old minister can't ...... either"

Zhao Zhen said stubbornly: "I don't believe that the Taishi can't help it. ”

Kou Zhun said faintly: "The old minister is now living with his fingers on his fingers, and he will live one day at a time." The old minister will spend the rest of his life cultivating more talents for my Great Song. There is no leisure to interfere in your family affairs. ”

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "I heard that the Taishi is running a school outside the city, and there is still a lack of a plaque, so I can write a plaque and give it to the academy in my own hand." ”

Kou Zhun groaned: "The old minister's academy recruits all the children of the poor family, and the royal pen of the official family is dispensable......

Zhao Zhen continued: "How about I allocate 10,000 taels of gold from the inner treasury every year to subsidize those poor students to study? ”

Kou Zhun groped the beard on his chin and said in a low voice: "The old minister intends to install those students before entering the office, go to various governments to serve as small officials to experience, I don't know if the official family can help the old minister?" ”

Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "I will let the people of the Imperial City Division start to handle this matter." ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhun nodded, "That's good...... The old minister has a sentence that can be given to the official family. ”

Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

Kou Zhun said six words lightly.

Zhao Zhen was stunned and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?!" ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't figure out Kou Zhun's intentions.

Kou Zhun explained lightly: "Since the official family wants to give a plaque to the school opened by the old minister, it is better to make an extra piece, with the words 'The harem shall not interfere in politics' written on it, and hang it on the vertical arch hall." ”

The expression on Zhao Zhen's face froze.

I have mixed feelings.

If Zhao Zhen really followed what Kou Zhun said, he inscribed a plaque and hung it on the vertical arch hall.

That would be equivalent to a slap in Liu E's face.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not need to ask more, and they also knew who Zhao Zhen hung this kind of plaque on the vertical arch hall.

This move can certainly solve the matter of Liu E's return to the court, but it will also offend Liu E to death.

Zhao Zhen was embarrassed and said, "Taishi...... Isn't this a bit inappropriate? ”

Kou Zhun said lightly: "The old minister just gave the official family a one-and-done suggestion, whether to take it or not, it is in the official family." However, the conditions that the official family promised to the old minister must be honored. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded with a deep groan.

Just when Zhao Zhen was worried about hindering Liu E from putting her hand into the court.

Liu E was pacing back and forth excitedly in the dormitory.

"Zhao Yuanyan finally made a move......"

Yan Shu said with a bright smile: "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, Niangniang can return to the court today." ”

Xia Zhu said indifferently: "Niangniang, now is not the time to be happy. ”

Liu E paused, stared at Xia Zhu, frowned, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Xia Zhu said lightly: "Shicai, someone sent a message to the minister, saying that the official family had mobilized a group of imperial guards to protect Niangniang. Obviously, the news that Zhao Yuanyan is about to usurp the throne is still known to the officials. ”

Liu E narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What did Kou Ji tell him? ”

Xia Zhu nodded, "The minister thinks so too." ”

Yan Shu smiled faintly: "What if the official family knows?" Zhao Yuanyan was about to raise troops, and Cao Wei, Gao Chugong and others were not in Bianjing. It is simply impossible for the officials to come up with a countermeasure on the fly.

It's still in our hands.

No one can stop the mother from returning to the court. ”

Hearing this, Liu E nodded in agreement.

Xia Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." The official family is not alone, and there are Kou Zhun grandchildren behind him. Kou Zhun is good at decisiveness, Kou Ji is good at planning, and with their ancestors and grandchildren taking action, there may not be no way to resolve Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion. ”

Liu E said in a deep voice: "Cao Wei, Gao Chugong and others were dispatched out of Beijing, and the two armies of Japan and Tianwu have now been dispatched by us. Could it be that Kou Zhun's ancestors and grandchildren can still conjure up soldiers and horses out of thin air? ”

Xia Zhu stared at Liu E and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, have you forgotten that Zhu Neng, the guard of the imperial city, still holds the second guard of the Dragon God in his hand. ”

Liu E frowned and said, "Zhu Neng can still throw down the imperial city, and he can't lead the troops to quell the rebellion." ”

Xia Zhu groaned: "It's hard to say...... If the official family listened to the slander of Kou Zhun's ancestors and asked Zhu Neng to send some soldiers and horses out to quell the rebellion, Zhao Yuanyan might not be able to stop it.

Zhu Neng's reputation is not obvious, but his ability to lead troops to fight is not weak.

If he hadn't come from a bad background, he might have become an important minister in the court.

If he led some of the soldiers of the Dragon God Second Guard out to quell the rebellion, he might not be able to resist Zhao Yuanyan's rebels by taking advantage of the city wall. ”

Liu E frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this point, and it will be too late to make arrangements......

Xia Zhu shook his head and said, "That's not ......."

Liu E stared at Xia Zhu and asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Xia Zhu stared at Liu E and said seriously: "Niangniang can send someone to wait at the gate of the outer city, as long as Zhao Yuanyan leads the troops to appear outside Bianjing City, let people open the outer gate of Bianjing City and let them in."

In this way, Zhao Yuanyan could break through the outer city without much effort and go straight to the inner city walls.

When the time came, Kou Zhun Zusun sent Zhu Neng to lead the people to quell the rebellion.

Niangniang can also appear in the court on the grounds of the critical situation, and order the two armies of Japan and Tianwu to send troops to quell the rebellion. ”

When Liu E heard this, her face changed, and she said decisively: "No! The outer city wall is tall and heavy, and there are many large ordnance on the city wall, which is the best barrier to wear down Zhao Yuanyan's troops.

If this layer of consumption is missing, the probability of Zhao Yuanyan leading the army to break through the inner city will be greatly increased.

The mourning family can't take the lives of the official family, and the Zhao family's Jiangshan Sheji takes risks. ”

Xia Zhu said hurriedly: "But if Niangniang doesn't do this, in case Zhu Neng leads the army to annihilate Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion under the outer city wall." How did you turn the tide and appear in the court? ”

Liu E pursed her lips, frowned, and didn't say a word.

Xia Zhu continued to admonish: "Niangniang, we have been planning for more than half a year, for today. If you lose the opportunity because of your hesitation, then we will plan in vain for most of the year.

Wang Qinruo and the masters of the instrument supervisor are all hiding by Zhao Yuanyan's side.

If something happens, they will quickly strike and kill Zhao Yuanyan.

With them, it is impossible for Zhao Yuanyan to break through the inner city. ”

Yan Shu listened to it for a long time, and was gradually convinced, and immediately arched his hand: "Niangniang, the minister thinks that Xia Zhu is reasonable. At the beginning, we set up a lot of secret hands, just to prevent Zhao Yuanyan from attacking the inner city.

But if Zhao Yuanyan can't even break through the outer city, then many of the secret hands we have set up will be in vain. ”

Liu E struggled: "The mourning family is unwilling to take risks with the official family's Jiangshan Sheji. ”

Xia Zhu took a step closer to Liu E and said in a deep voice: "But I lost today's opportunity, Niangniang will not want to appear in the court again in the future." Although Kou Zhun retired, the official family and Kou Ji still grew up.

If Niangniang loses this opportunity, then if you want to plan again, you have to continue to wait.

But the longer you wait, the faster the growth rate of the official family and Kou Ji.

Once the official family is familiar with the government and politics, Kou Ji goes further.

Then the two of them joining forces will be enough to turn the court into an iron bucket.

At that time, even if you have three heads and six arms, it will be difficult for you to return to the court. ”

Yan Shu added on the side: "If you lose this opportunity, I am afraid that you will have to hide in the deep palace for the rest of your life." After the official election, your strong intervention has made the official family estranged you.

This time, in order to return to the court, Zhao Yuanyan wanted to usurp the throne, and you chose to conceal the official family and plan secretly.

Once the official family finds out about this, the gap between you and the official family will become even greater.

You are not the biological mother of the official family after all.

If the official family has a grudge against you and wants to deal with you secretly, no one can stop it. ”

In order to admonish Liu E, Xia Zhu and Yan Shu said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

Liu E's weakness in every sentence.

Whether it is losing the opportunity to return to the court or being secluded in the deep palace, Liu E can't bear it.

Liu E gritted her teeth, looked at Xia Zhu and Yan Shu, and said in a trembling voice: "Mourning family...... The mourners who listen to you are ......"

A rare hint of joy flashed on Xia Zhu's face.

"I'll leave this matter to the minister."

Xia Zhu threw down this sentence, and without waiting for Liu E to speak again, he withdrew from Liu E's bedroom.

Liu E looked at Xia Zhu's departing figure and sighed.

"Hey......"

on the Imperial City.

Zhu Neng also sighed, looked at Kou Ji, who was waiting for his barbecue to eat under the battlement, and said faintly: "Why did you come to this troubled water?" ”

In front of Zhu Neng, there was a small stove, and the silver frost charcoal was burning in the stove, and the blazing heat emitted by the burning of the silver frost charcoal could be felt by Kou Ji from a distance of three feet.

Zhu Neng copied two copper drills of about one and a half feet in his hand, and there were two legs of mutton tied to the copper drills.

The leg of lamb has been roasted on the fire for a long time, and the face is browned and exudes a faint meaty aroma.

Zhu Neng took a knife, slashed twice on the leg of mutton, cut a gap, and listened to the popping sound of the drops of mutton fat dripping on the silver frost charcoal.

Kou Ji stared greedily at the leg of mutton, shrugged his nose, and asked, "When will it be roasted?" ”

Zhu Neng subconsciously replied while smearing oil on the leg of mutton: "It will take half an hour to ......."

After a pause, he raised his head and stared at Kou Ji in amazement, "You haven't answered my question yet?" Don't you worry about me Zhu Neng, afraid that I Zhu Neng won't be able to hold the imperial city, and all the people who came to supervise the war specially rushed to supervise the war? ”

Kou Ji stared at the leg of mutton and smiled indifferently: "How can I not trust you, Uncle Zhu." With you sitting in the imperial city, even if Zhao Yuanyan leads a million troops to kill him, he is not your opponent. ”

Zhu Neng widened his eyes and said angrily: "It's an exaggeration!" If Zhao Yuanyan really led a million troops to the foot of the imperial city, I would have no second way to go except surrender. ”

Kou Ji pointed to one of the leg of lamb, "Quickly apply oil, or it will dry." ”

"Oh!"

Zhu Neng was reminded, hurriedly looked at the leg of mutton, and saw that the leg of mutton that had not been brushed with oil was a little dry from the roast, and hurriedly applied oil.

After Zhu Neng smeared oil on the two leg of mutton, he was suddenly stunned, stared at Kou Ji, and said angrily: "You kid told me for a long time, but you still haven't told me, what are you doing in the city?" ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "If you come to sleep, eat mutton by the way." ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Neng looked confused.

Seeing this, Kou Ji explained: "Zhao Yuanyan's usurpation of the throne is a big deal. The official family always had to send a cronie to watch and report to him at any time. ”
