Chapter Ninety-Six: Hole Cards

As soon as Zhao Mingyue's words fell, Ling Kun and Xiao Ran jumped up in shock. Except for Han Jiangxue, everyone at the scene knew what the coup meant, that is, to overthrow the existing regime.

"Your mother wants to be Wu Zetian?" Ling Kun asked.

Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know, the eldest brother is under house arrest, and he came out to say that the queen mother wants a coup d'Γ©tat, and I must stop it." ”

"Oh, it's definitely not that she wants to be the emperor, she is just like my aunt, the kind of queen mother who is in charge." Xiao Ran said.

"Yes, Xiao Ran is right, she must abolish your third brother and set up your eldest brother, and then she will take power in the back. And your eldest brother didn't cooperate, so he was put under house arrest. ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded and said, "It must be like this, but how can I stop it?" ”

Ling Kun sighed: "Are you sure you want to stop it, it's your own mother." ”

Zhao Mingyue covered her face and squatted on the ground and wailed: "My mother-in-law, what are you doing here?" ”

On the one hand, she gave birth to her and raised her mother, and on the other hand, she was the country left by her brother and ancestors, what should she do? My mother's coup was successful, I don't know what will happen to their Zhao family? stopped the coup d'Γ©tat of his mother, how will the third brother lose his mother? She was once again fascinated by the authorities, her mind was in a mess, and she was completely out of order.

Ling Kun looked at Zhao Mingyue, but he couldn't speak, after all, she had to make this choice by herself, as long as she decided, then he would also fight for her.

However, Zhao Mingyue raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Ling Kun, what do you say?" Shall I listen to you? ”

When Ling Kun saw her expression, it was like a hammer hitting his heart. In an instant, he decided to take up this matter for Zhao Mingyue and couldn't make her sad anymore.

He leaned down and grabbed Zhao Mingyue's shoulders, helped her to the chair and sat down, and said, "Mingyue, don't worry, with me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory solution." ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded, a string of pearls rolled off her eyes, and asked, "How do you solve it?" ”

"Let's make a deal with the crown prince first, and we'll help him crush the coup d'Γ©tat, on the condition that he will become emperor in the future and no longer hold your mother accountable."

"Well, that's all there is to it. But can we crush the queen mother's plan? Zhao Mingyue said worriedly.

Ling Kun rubbed the cards in his hand again and said: "The coup d'Γ©tat is actually the same as playing cards, if you want to win her, it is best to know what hole cards she has in her hand." ”

Zhao Mingyue's eyes lit up and said: "No wonder Kou Zhun went down at this time, it turned out to be like this, so the new deputy prime minister Li Changling must be the queen mother's person?" ”

"Of course, and Wang Jien's old guy with a bad stomach, it must be too." Ling Kun said.

"Yes, it must be, maybe this idea was from him, and the last time I asked me to marry Wang Yingjue was his bad idea for his mother."

"There is also the palace marshal, your mother's own brother, who controls the forbidden army in the whole capital."

Zhao Mingyue's face suddenly changed: "Yes, there is also an uncle, from the inside to the outside, from the civil servants to the generals, all of them are the queen mother's people, how can we stop it?" Forget it, I'd better go back and persuade her. He said that he stood up and wanted to leave.

Ling Kun grabbed her and said, "At this time, do you think she will listen to your persuasion?" If you want to go back, you won't be able to get out, and you'll be startled. ”

"What then?" Zhao Mingyue stomped her feet and shouted.

"Let's go see the prince first, see what hole cards he still has in his hand, and talk about the deal by the way."

"Well, okay, let's go to Kaifeng Mansion to find him." Zhao Mingyue said hurriedly.

"Don't go to Kaifeng Mansion." Ling Kun said.

"So where to find him?"

"The prince must have been monitored, it's not appropriate for us to openly go to him, let's quietly go to Liu E's courtyard and wait, we will definitely come back."

"How did you know he was coming?"

Ling Kun smiled: "I'm a man, of course I know men, if you're there, I'll go every day." ”

Zhao Mingyue's face flushed, and she smashed her fist in his chest and scolded: "Stinky hooligan." ”

However, in this way, Zhao Mingyue's unusually nervous heart relaxed a little.

Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue came to Liu E's courtyard and said that they had something to look for the prince, and they didn't know if he would come.

Liu E blushed and nodded: "He comes every day, but the time is uncertain, and the errand in Kaifeng Mansion is very busy." ”

"Alright, let's wait here."

Liu E made tea for the two, and the three of them chatted about waiting for the prince. However, before he could wait long, he heard the maid shout, "The prince is here." ”

Liu E hurriedly stood up and went out to greet her, and Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue also went out.

Several people saluted Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng saw Zhao Mingyue and Ling Kun, and quipped: "Mingyue, what is the relationship between you and Lord Ling?" How to be inseparable? "He didn't know that Zhao Mingyue had been living in the Ling Mansion all along, otherwise he was afraid that he would be shocked by the big teeth.

Zhao Mingyue blushed and shot back: "Third brother, you came back to see Liu E just after noon, is there no errand in Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

"Haha, that's not it, it's just that I'm irritable and want to find a place to rest, you guys came just in time, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Mingyue and Ling Kun glanced at each other, did Zhao Heng already know?

Zhao Heng took out a plate wat from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Mingyue and said, "This is sent to me by Prime Minister Lu Duan early in the morning. ”

Zhao Mingyue took a look, and saw two words written on the board wat: "Da Gradual", she frowned and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"I guess he told me that my father was seriously ill and asked me to enter the palace to serve, but I couldn't enter the Long Live Palace after entering the palace, and no one knows what is going on in the palace now. I don't know what the father and the queen mother mean, the father is seriously ill, and the children should stay on the sickbed. Zhao Heng spread his hands and said.

Ling Kun pondered, "In this way, the prime minister is not their person yet. ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded.

Zhao Heng was puzzled: "What are their people, our people, what are you talking about?" ”

"Third brother, let's go in and talk, there's something big." Zhao Mingyue pulled Zhao Heng into the room first.

"What's the big deal?" Zhao Heng asked.

"The queen mother put the eldest brother under house arrest, and the eldest brother secretly gave me a message, saying that the queen mother was going to make a coup d'Γ©tat, and asked me to find a way to stop it."

Zhao Hengda was taken aback, stood up from his chair, his face turned blue and pale, and only after a while did he say, "Why?" ”

"I guess she wants to be a big brother."

"Then why the coup d'Γ©tat, this throne was supposed to be the eldest brother, I never wanted it, and now I can return it to the eldest brother." Zhao Heng was a little excited, and his voice was very high.

Zhao Mingyue frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, the eldest brother's condition is unstable, he goes crazy from time to time, and the succession will not last long, the queen mother's purpose is to make Yunsheng the emperor, and she controls the power in the back." ”

"Sss Zhao Heng gasped, he and his eldest brother could fight, but they couldn't let the imperial power fall into the hands of other families. It seems that there will be a fight to the death soon
