Wang Jien continued to add fire to Li Changling and Hu Dan: "Two adults, you have to get the idea early, look at Kou Zhun, he is an important person in the election of the prince, and he is younger than you, when will you be able to come out with him?" He is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't even care about the emperor, can you have a good life in the future? Two, as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and only by taking chestnuts from the fire can you achieve immortal achievements. ”

"But father-in-law, our current status can't affect the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty." Li Changling asked.

"Hehe, your current identity really can't do anything, only by squeezing Lu Duan and Kou Zhun down, can you have the right to speak in the province of Zhongshu."

"Sss Li and Hu gasped at the same time, that is to say, as long as they cooperate with Wang Jien, they can govern Zhongshu Province before the abolition of the crown prince, so after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, won't the first and auxiliary prime ministers be the two of them?

"Father-in-law is going to get the prime minister and deputy prime minister down?" Li Changling asked a little incredulously.

"No, Lu Duan is already old and confused, it's not a problem, as long as Kou Zhun goes down, it's okay, and the big thing will be done."

"But Kou Zhun is currently in the middle of the holy family, and he has no handle, how does his father-in-law plan to let him go down." Hu Dan asked.

"We have our own way to do this." Wang Jien immediately explained to Li Changling and Hu Dan, and the two were overjoyed: "This is easy, we will definitely be able to do it." ”

The three of them planned in detail for a long time before Wang Jien hurriedly left to serve the emperor.

The next day, the emperor was in a slightly better spirit, and when he saw the queen who was by his side all night, he said quite distressedly: "Queen, thank you for your hard work, just have them here, you go back and rest." ”

The queen wept and said: "Your Majesty is like this, how can the concubines sleep with confidence." ”

"I feel much better, you can go back with confidence."

The queen nodded and said, "In this case, the concubines will go back and rest for a while, and come back to accompany the emperor later." ”

Coming out of the Long Live Palace, Queen Li did not go back to the harem to rest, but went straight to the South Palace.

Zhao Yuanzuo has basically recovered after this period of recuperation, the Xu Wang incident has been handled relatively satisfactorily, and the third brother of his compatriot has become the prince again, everything is developing in a good direction, so he is in a very good mood.

Knowing that the queen had arrived, Zhao Yuanzuo took his wife to immediately go out to greet him and pay a big salute.

The queen sat down and said slowly: "Yuan Zuo, let's be even, the mourning family has just come out of the Long Live Palace, and I will come to see you by the way." Then he instructed the Cao family and the servants to say, "You all go out, and the palace and His Highness have a few words." ”

The Cao family took the palace maids and eunuchs out, and the queen motioned for Zhao Yuanzuo to sit down and speak.

Zhao Yuanzuo sat on the chair and asked, "The queen mother came out of the Long Live Palace, but because my father was seriously ill?" ”

The queen nodded and said, "Your father is afraid that time is running out." ”

Zhao Yuanzuo's face immediately darkened, and he covered his face with his hands and cried. He is the most affectionate person, and he will go crazy when the third uncle dies, not to mention that his father is not good now.

"Yuan Zuo, now is not the time to be sad, the mourning family has come to you to discuss something important."

Zhao Yuanzuo sobbed a few times, barely held back his tears and asked, "Please make it clear to the queen mother." ”

Empress Li asked, "Do you know about the Golden Alliance?" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo was stunned, not knowing why the queen wanted to mention this. Of course, he knew that the Golden Kui Gate, and the reason why he went crazy again and again was almost always related to this Golden Kui Alliance.

That year, Zhao Yuanzuo's grandmother, Empress Dowager Du, was seriously ill, and before she died, she called the former emperor Zhao Kuangyin to the sickbed and asked: "Son, do you know why you can get the world?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It is all the blessing of the ancestors and the blessing of the mother. ”

Empress Dowager Du shook her head and said: "It's because the queen of Zhou is young, if Chai Rong has an older son, can you win the world?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, but he didn't know what his mother meant.

Empress Dowager Du said: "In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the future, you should pass the throne to your second and third brothers after a hundred years, and finally to your eldest son and youngest son, so as to avoid the suspicion of the lord and the young country, and ensure that the Zhao family is forever on the river and will be passed on for generations." ”

Zhao Kuangyin is a filial son, his mother's last words, how dare he disrespect, so he agreed. However, Empress Dowager Du did not believe it, so she asked Prime Minister Zhao Pu to make an alliance, and Zhao Kuangyin signed it on the spot and hid it in the Golden Kui, which was the Golden Kui Alliance.

Because of this Golden Kui Gate, Zhao Guangyi was able to become the emperor, and because of this Golden Kui Alliance, Zhao Yuanzuo's third uncle Zhao Tingmei and two elder brothers Dezhao and Defang died inexplicably, and Zhao Yuanzuo also went crazy.

Now, no one dares to mention the Golden Kui Alliance anymore, why did the queen make a special trip to mention this matter?

Zhao Yuanzuo nodded to the queen with a puzzled face, meaning that he knew.

The queen said solemnly: "The Golden Kui Alliance was set by the founding ancestor, and that is the ancestral precept, and our juniors must not violate it." Therefore, after the death of your father, you are the only person to succeed to the throne. ”

Zhao Yuanzuo was shocked, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Queen Mother, by all means, Yuanzuo is incompetent, and he has no ambition and ability to lead a country." Moreover, his father has already appointed a crown prince, and the succession has already been arranged. ”

"The emperor's arrangement is not appropriate." The queen was a little excited, stood up and shouted in a low voice, then felt a little out of shape, sat down and said, "Yuan Zuo, as long as you are willing, I will arrange the succession for you." ”

"No, Erchen doesn't want to, Erchen has no intention of taking the throne since he was a child, he just wants to reunite with his family. The third brother and his son are the same mother, since he is already the crown prince, if I succeed to the throne, where will I put him? ”

Empress Li couldn't imagine that there was really someone who didn't want to be the emperor, and she was so resolute and didn't hesitate. She gritted her teeth with a gloomy face and said, "You are so ignorant? ”

"The son has disappointed the queen mother, and the son is guilty."

"Hmph, this is not for you, you must succeed to the throne, if you really don't want to be the emperor, it will be passed on to Yunsheng after a year and a half."

Zhao Yuanzuo Mouran raised his head and said, "This is the true intention of the queen mother, right?" You want Yunsheng to be the emperor, and you are in charge of the government in the back. ”

"Presumptuous!" Empress Li shouted angrily, her face was blue and her eyes were full of anger. Seeing that he couldn't reach a consensus with Zhao Yuanzuoda, he said coldly: "You have to be the emperor of this emperor, and you have to be the one who is not right, you just wait here for the yellow robe, and see what else you have to say at that time." ”

"No, Queen Mother, I don't agree, and I don't agree with ...... death."

"Shut up." Empress Li shouted outside, "Someone." ”

A large number of guards and palace maids and eunuchs came in with the queen, and a few people in the south palace also followed.

The queen pointed to Yuan Zuo's wife, Cao, and the people in the southern palace and said, "How do you serve the great prince?" became more and more sick, and even sought death and life in front of the mourning family. From today onwards, the harem will send people to serve the life of the eldest prince, in order to prevent the eldest prince from seeking death, the mourning family will send twenty internal guards to protect him, except for the full-time imperial doctor, no one else will be allowed to disturb the prince's recuperation. ”

Cao's face was puzzled, would she not know about her husband? It's all right. But no matter how you think about it, you don't dare to disobey the queen's order, and you can only thank the queen for her great grace and take people out.

Empress Li left behind the guards and palace maids who had been prepared long ago, and put Zhao Yuanzuo under house arrest completely.
