The previous situation in Kaifeng City, although the wind was getting tighter, still maintained the necessary balance after all.

The core of this is Li Yunxiao, the general in charge of the army, who sits in the Yamen of the Nine Gates.

Now it's okay, Li Yunxiao, who is in charge of the army, was assassinated, and his life and death are still uncertain. While the careerists celebrated with each other, the situation in the capital suddenly became tense.

"Please come here." After Concubine Xue heard that Li Yunxiao had been assassinated, she cheered up and sent someone to ask for a flower folding.

Soon, the folded flowers appeared neatly in front of Concubine Xue, "The concubine knocks on the mother!" ”

Concubine Xue pointed to the brocade stool beside her and motioned for Zhi Saihua to sit down and speak, Zhi Saihua hesitated slightly, and had to walk to Concubine Xue's side.

After sitting down in a proper manner, Concubine Xue frowned and said, "Presumably you have heard the news of Li Yunxiao's assassination?" ”

"Yes, the concubine already knows." Zhe Saihua looked at Concubine Xue with red eyes, and suddenly straightened her waist and said, "Mother, the situation is already very serious, and the concubine asks the concubine to grant the concubine the right to control the family generals to prevent the rebellious ministers and thieves from attacking and harassing." ”

Concubine Xue nodded heavily and said, "I just have this intention, I don't want you to be a really smart kid." ”

As the saying goes, fight a snake and hit seven inches, at the moment when Li Zhongyi and Li Yunxiao had accidents one after another, if the careerists choose to use force to solve the problem, the best target of attack will definitely be the ruling palace.

In today's ruling palace, it can be said that there are old and small, and there is only one person who knows military martial arts.

At this time of turmoil, Concubine Xue could only choose to believe in Zhesaihua and entrust her to command the guards and generals stationed in the mansion.

"Well, if you take this, the guards and generals in the house will be given full command to you."

At the critical moment, Concubine Xue unequivocally presided over the overall situation, and did not drag the mud and water at all!

In Shi Shouxin's mansion, Shi Shouxin looked at Zhao Kuangyi who was sitting opposite, and his mood couldn't help but be extremely complicated.

Zhao Laosan is indeed a scheming guy, and his ruthlessness is indeed refreshing.

It's just that Shi Shouxin still has a question, why hasn't Zhao Kuangyin shown up yet?

It stands to reason that for such a big matter, Zhao Lao Er should come forward to preside over the overall situation, instead of only sending Zhao Kuangyi as a representative.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, if you don't take advantage of the great opportunity of Li Yunxiao's assassination to set things right, once the old Li family wakes up, there will be big trouble.

"Then the ruling palace, please entrust you with Brother Yuen Long and brother." Shi Shouxin has been preparing for a long time, and he really doesn't want to miss this good opportunity.

Life is full of choices and gambling, and if you lose the gambling, the whole family or even the whole family will be unlucky.

If you are lucky enough to bet right, the glory and wealth of the sky will make you happy to the clouds in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry. It was a poisonous arrow that hit Li Yunxiao, and there was no way to save it. Zhao Kuangyi's face showed determination, he had been preparing for a long time, and killed Li Yunxiao, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again.

"Okay, I'll gather people and do it." Shi Shouxin raised hundreds of old subordinates in the farms in the suburbs, all of whom were exceptionally skilled murderers.

Zhao Laosan took the initiative to propose that the people of the old Zhao family attack the ruling palace, and gave the palace with relatively weak defense to Shi Shouxin.

According to the plan of Shi Zhao and the others, the robbery of the little emperor and the culling of the old Li family must be carried out at the same time.

Once you succeed, you will coerce the little emperor to order the world, and the big thing will definitely happen!

Today, the Li family's time for the Chai family is still short, and most of the important ministers of the court are still Zhou ministers. Objectively speaking, the little emperor still has great appeal.

"Your Zhao family also has nearly a thousand relatives in the suburbs?" Shi Shouxin suddenly asked Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi smiled and said, "Actually, there aren't so many, it's just that they are all marksmen." ”

Shi Shouxin understood in seconds, the Zhao family brothers were really caring people, and they had made sufficient preparations in advance, just waiting for the chaos in Gyeonggi.

"Okay, let's get ready, and when the time comes, let's fight together!" Shi Shouxin patted Zhao Kuangyi's shoulder vigorously, and sighed heavily, "Success or failure depends on our luck." ”

"Lao Shi, don't say such depressing words, although it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. However, if we are unprepared, we will win. Zhao Kuangyi looked very confident.

After Zhao Kuangyi came out of Shifu, he rushed back to the Zhao family non-stop, after all, it was Zhao Kuangyin who was in charge of the army, not him Zhao Kuangyi.

"Big brother, Shi Shouxin is ready there, just waiting for our family to cooperate." As soon as Zhao Kuangyi saw Zhao Kuangyin's face, he put the whole plan together.

Zhao Kuangyin stared at Zhao Kuangyi with a strange expression, and after a long while, he slowly asked him: "I have three questions, you can answer them, and I will do my best to support you." ”

"Just ask." Zhao Kuangyi arranged everything and waited for Zhao Kuangyin to nod.

The so-called brother is no better than the younger brother, Zhao Kuangyi knows Zhao Kuangyin's temper very well, and he will never dare to act rashly if he does not force Zhao Kuangyin to the last step of desperation.

"How can you be sure that Li Zhongyi will be defeated at the hands of the Khitans? Did the Khitan send an envoy to tell you, or did you see it with your own eyes? Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth and asked extremely important questions.

The key to the whole thing is, is Li Zhongyi really defeated, or is he a fake defeat?

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyi was speechless for a while and couldn't answer the question, Zhao Kuangyin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and then asked: "Even if Li Zhongyi's army is defeated, is he dead?" Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

This question, Zhao Kuangyi is even more difficult to answer, all the rumors in the world are just rumors, who really saw Li Zhongyi die?

"Last question, Li Yunxiao showed up early and didn't show up late, and as soon as he appeared, he was shot to death or injured by the crossbowmen you arranged, do you think there is such a coincidence in the world?"

Zhao Kuangyin's three questions, one question is more powerful than the other, one question is more tricky than the other, and one question is more difficult to answer than the other.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyi couldn't even answer a question, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but sigh heavily, and said coldly: "Such a big matter, you actually secretly discussed it with Shi Shouxin, have you thought about it, if you fail, the entire Zhao family will be finished with you?" ”

"Brother Zeping, you tell him the truth about the Gyeonggi Township Army." Zhao Kuangyin suddenly raised his voice and called Zhao Pu, who had been guarding outside the door, in.

"Third son, before Li Zhongyi came to the Northern Expedition, he actually left behind 30,000 elite forbidden troops, pretending to be a rotating township army, stationed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, you are really confused." As soon as Zhao Pu entered the door, he even blamed Zhao Kuangyi.

"In addition, the Li Jiajun is different from other armies, even if you really shoot Li Yunxiao, there will be a substitute general coming up immediately." Zhao Pu stomped his feet as he spoke, and complained fiercely to Zhao Kuangyi, "Third son, your reckless behavior is really a big mistake." If you are not ready for anything, you dare to act rashly, alas, the loser ......"

Zhao Pu scolded halfway, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to recycle.

"It's all at this juncture, it can be said that the arrow is ready to fly, and I have to send it!" Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a resolute face.

Zhao Kuangyin knew what Zhao Pu meant, since Zhao Kuangyi, a stupid boy, had already scared the snake, it was better to make a mistake and simply fight.

"What to fight? Are you the head of my family? Zhao Kuangyin had an expression of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, and suddenly raised his arm and high-fived heavily.

"Old Miao, tell them, what happened?" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't wait to kick Zhao Kuangyi to death, a fool.

Lao Miao is the battalion commander of the Tiger Wing Army, the center of Zhao Kuangyin's confidant, and the descendant of the lineage.

"In the Northern Expeditionary Army, there are our people. It's just that because the camp is extremely tightly guarded, it is difficult to send the letter out. Lao Miao sighed and gave a detailed introduction, "It's just that my luck is not bad, and I finally found the task of escorting him, so I secretly sent the letter." ”

To tell the truth, Li Zhongyi not only did not lose the army, but repelled the Khitans and took Youzhou. What's more, Li Zhongyi has already proclaimed himself emperor in Youzhou and changed the name of the country to Han ......" With the deepening of Lao Miao's introduction, Zhao Kuangyi's whole person was not good, dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and his mind was blank.

"Third brother, you are making nonsense in private, and you almost missed a big thing, and you will drag the entire Zhao family into a state of no return." Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to kick Zhao Kuangyi to death.

However, the matter has come to this point, and no matter how much Zhao Kuangyi is blamed, it will be useless.

The facts are all there, and Zhao Kuangyi is not allowed to deny it, so he has to hang his head and let Zhao Kuangyin scold and scold.

Zhao Kuangyi lowered his head, but Zhao Kuangyin was not good at scolding him, after all, fighting tiger brothers and going into battle with father and son, Zhao Kuangyi's fault was that he always thought he was smart and arbitrary, and he didn't communicate with Zhao Kuangyin at all.

Up to now, even Zhao Pu, who claims to be a wise star, can only stare helplessly.

Zhao Kuangyin stomped around indoors, and after not knowing how many times he turned, he sighed violently and said: "The matter has come to this, since I have no power to return to heaven, I can only survive in death." ”

"Second brother, do you have a way?" Zhao Kuangyi is the initiator, his situation is the most dangerous, and he naturally cares about his own life and death.

"What can I do? If you are a traitor, our whole family will become a traitor, will you be able to escape? Zhao Kuangyin was completely angry and scolded Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi knew that he had broken the sky, so he had to keep his head down and be honestly trained, but he didn't dare to talk back as usual.

"Since Shi Shouxin is going to attack the palace, he can only fulfill him."

When it came to the real fate, Zhao Kuangyin's so-called characteristics of emphasizing morality and friendship were instantly broken, and it was changed to a dead friend who did not die and a poor man.

"As for us, we definitely can't escape, we can only put them to death and live later." Zhao Kuangyin grabbed Zhao Kuangyi's ears and muttered quietly for a while, Zhao Kuangyi was stunned, "Ah...... How could this be? ”

"Hmph, don't do that, do you think Li Zhongyi will spare our family?" Zhao Kuangyin glared at Zhao Kuangyi angrily, and scolded in his heart, what is not angry, he is a fool if he conspires to get his own pills!

Zhao Pu saw that Zhao Kuangyi was not very happy, so he sighed and persuaded: "If you don't do this, all the people involved, without exception, will rob their families and exterminate their clans, and there is no reason to be lucky." After all, it was Li Zhongyi's initiative to plan, if he didn't catch a few big fish, how could he give up easily? ”
