Chapter 611: The Forces Behind It
The prayer hall was a lively scene at this time, everyone was unaware of the approaching danger, and Song Qingping also pretended to ignore the happening at this time, with a smile on his face, clinking glasses with the guests on the scene, like a fully competent groom official, but his heart was seven up and eight down at this time.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!"
Just when everyone was very lively, they suddenly heard the voice of the guards outside the door, and everyone heard that the holy decree had arrived, and they knelt down on the ground one after another.
"Feng, the day carries the emperor's edict, saying: Today is the great day of the Song Dynasty's dinner set up in the prayer hall, all the guests enjoy themselves, but the hour is late, tomorrow you adults can still have things with you, I announce that today's dinner is over, please leave the palace from the north gate, return to the palace."
This holy decree came inexplicably, all the adults present looked at me, I looked at you, and they all seemed to be a little puzzled by what was going on, but since it was an order from the emperor, they naturally didn't dare to ask anything, so they kowtowed one after another.
"Lord Cheng of the Ministry of War, Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Public Affairs, Lord Liu, Lord Sun, the emperor invites all the adults to the Emperor of Sanhua Hall to set up a banquet in person at this time, and entertain all the adults to talk about important matters with them!"
Hearing this inexplicable words, these named adults were even more confused, so they looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you and don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.
"Obey the order!"
Although I don't know what happened when the emperor summoned them again, these adults are not clear about each other's positions, and they don't find anything strange in this, so they can only obey the order.
After that, all the guests dispersed, but for some reason the emperor ordered everyone to leave through the north gate.
Song Qingping looked at the expressions on the faces of the ministers who had left, only then eased up a little, and the whole person was relieved, Qin Zhao should already have a way to deal with it, but he knew that the Queen Mother had gathered not thousands of troops, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and so many troops had been deployed around the capital, this battle could not be avoided no matter what, Qin Zhao frowned tightly.
The ministers left the hall one after another from the north gate, and the other adults who were named went to the Sanhua Hall one after another, talking to each other along the way, and did not find anything strange in it.
But when they arrived at the Sanhua Palace, they were dumbfounded, when did there be so many guards in the Sanhua Palace.
"Your Majesty, have you asked a few of our ministers to come over, but you have something important to discuss?"
Seeing this, Lord Liu was a little unclear so he spoke, and when the rest of the adults saw this situation, their faces turned pale, and they seemed to realize something, so many guards were guarding here, as if they were waiting for them to come, and sure enough, Qin Zhao pursed his lips tightly, waved his sleeves, and the guards next to him swarmed up.
"What are you guys doing? Your Majesty, why are you arresting us? ”
Lord Liu still shouted in horror without knowing why, but Qin Zhao just frowned tightly, these guards under him got the emperor's order, and they were even more merciless, and arrested them one by one.
"I'm really sorry for you, I want to do something today, and I ask you to cooperate, there are just a few rooms in this Sanhua Palace, a few adults, let's live in this Sanhua Hall these days!"
Qin Zhao said this coldly and waved his sleeves to leave, Guan Tongshu also came out of the room at this time, followed Qin Zhao in a sedan chair and left here.
Lord Huang and Mrs. Li also left the scene, only these adults looked at each other, but they couldn't look at each other, and were taken to the room by these guards, saying that they were letting them stay, but in fact, they were imprisoned.
After making a series of preliminary plans, seeing that this hour was passing little by little, and it was about to enter ten in the morning, Qin Zhao's heart also sensed a touch of nervousness at this time, and Guan Tongshu was sad at this time because of the disappearance of the two children, and he didn't dare to leave Qin Zhao's side for a moment.
At this time, the location where they were was Qin Zhao's study, Guan Tongshu sat in the dormitory in a daze, squatting in place and waiting for Chen Li to bring back the news, but the time passed minute by minute, and Chen Li had not come back to report the news.
Guan Tongshu was anxious at this time, but she didn't dare to disturb, and at this time, Lord Huang, Taiwei Li, and Lord Song were all looking at the huge sand table above with Qin Zhao in the study, and inside the sand table was the layout of the capital and the surrounding areas.
Qin Zhao and Taiwei Li were simulating
。 "The Queen Mother now occupies the position of the North Gate, although the North Gate has not arranged any troops, but its position is very high, which is convenient for the Queen Mother to command, and now we have sent people out, see the right time, if you can, you will arrest the Queen Mother back, but this plan is probably not feasible."
Qin Zhao was very serious at this time, he was already very familiar with the landform in the capital, and he must know more about the mountain in the north than him, although the distance from the capital seems to be a little farther, but in fact, its location is very high, and all parts of the capital can be taken into view, and the queen mother is also very cunning, knowing this, occupying this desired position, they are very passive at this moment.
Qin Zhao's words, several other people nodded in agreement, since the Queen Mother would choose this position in the north, she had already been optimistic about everything, and knew the advantages of this position, and she would inevitably be guarded by elite soldiers next to her.
Only a spy reported that the mysterious power that the Queen Mother came into contact with came from the people, a person named Zhao Yuanzheng. This Zhao Yuanzheng's family was poor when he was young, but he wandered the rivers and lakes over the years and met ordinary brothers on the rivers and lakes. Now these brothers are even more appealing, and when they learned that he was going to do such a rebellion, instead of dissuading him, they even recruited troops from all over the country, so that they had more than 100,000 troops under the Queen Mother.
So on the surface, it seems that we want to deal with the Queen Mother, but in fact, we have to deal with this person named Zhao Yuanzheng. ”
Qin Zhao said.
"A folk person in the rivers and lakes dares to do such a big thing, I don't think he wants this head, this kind of rebellion is not pediatrics, but what is the relationship between the queen mother and him, the people of the rivers and lakes have always paid attention to temperament, why would they help the queen mother do such a trivial thing?"
Taiwei Li obviously didn't understand the fact that he had been marching and fighting in the army all the year round, so he asked from the bottom of his heart, Qin Zhao heard this, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I was also puzzled at first, but with the further investigation of the spies, it was clear the reason for this, it turned out that the person called Zhao Yuanzheng was not someone else, but the playmate of the Queen Mother when she was a child, the two grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and when they grew up, they also made a private decision for life, but I don't know why the Queen Mother entered the palace to choose a concubine. The relationship between the two has just been broken, but it is said to be broken, but in fact, it is not completely broken, every time the Queen Mother goes out of the palace to burn incense over the years, she will meet with this person called Zhao Yuanzheng. ”
