In the study, Li Zhang carefully pasted a picture on the wall next to his desk, this picture is a picture of the relationship between the characters, this point is still he learned from Liu E, Liu E in order to prevent officials from cronyism, so he made a chart of all the relatives and friends of officials in the court and hung it in the hall, this method was also inherited by Zhao Zhen, and there is still a chart hanging in the vertical arch hall, and it will be updated frequently.

However, Li Zhang's picture is not a relationship chart of the Great Song Dynasty officials, but a character relationship chart of the Liao royal family, the middle of the chart is Xiao Yunjin, who is now in power, and around Xiao Yunjin, there are Yelu Zongzhen, Xiao Xiaoxian and others, according to the different distances between the characters, the distance between the names is also different, which is more intuitive.

Li Zhang's eyes now fell on another name that Yelu Zongzhen juxtaposed, this name is Yelu Chongyuan, for this guy who lacks heart, Li Zhang didn't have a good feeling, but in order to prevent Yelu Zongzhen from taking power, Li Zhang could only help him.

"Brother An Ren should have already reminded Xiao Yunjin, presumably Xiao Yunjin should not be stupid enough to tell Yelu Chongyuan such a confidential matter, if Yelu Zong really didn't know that his mother was going to abolish himself, even if he wanted to seize power, he wouldn't be so urgent, but if he still made a move before Xiao Yunjin, then Xiao Yunjin would be in danger." Li Zhang looked at the chart and finally whispered to himself.

Li Zhang also showed a contemplative expression when he said this, although he had made a lot of stumbling blocks for Yelu Zongzhen, but he still felt that it was not enough, after all, compared to Xiao Yunjin, Yelu Zongzhen, this arrogant and arrogant guy, and it can even be said that if the guy who is very happy with his achievements comes to power, he will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Great Song Dynasty to recover Yanyun, I remember that not long after Yelu Zongzhen in history took power, he forced the Great Song Dynasty to increase the amount of annual coins, and Zhao Zhen is a weak character, and finally agreed, which is really humiliating.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang immediately took a piece of letterhead, and then took a pen and wrote a letter to Zhao Anren, reminding him that he must not let Xiao Yunjin leave the bowl.

Even Li Zhang specially wrote, saying that he heard that the royal family of the Liao State went to the palace every summer to escape the heat, and if Yeluzong really wanted to seize power, he would probably choose to start at such a time, so please Zhao Anren must remind Xiao Yunjin when he arrives. Because Li Zhang remembered that when Yelu Zongzhen launched a coup d'état, he launched it when Xiao Yunjin went to the palace to escape the summer.

After Li Zhang finished writing this letter, he immediately wrote it into a code word according to the code script, and then transcribed it on a new piece of paper, and then put the secret letter written in the code into an envelope, ready for someone to send the letter to Zhao Anren.

"Everything that can be said has been said, now it depends on whether Zhao Anren can persuade Xiao Yunjin!" After Li Zhang sealed the seal with fire paint, he grew a breath.

He almost pointed out the location of Yelu Zongzhen's coup d'état, if he couldn't change Xiao Yunjin's fate, then he couldn't help it, of course, his performance must be a little incredible in Zhao Anren's eyes, and even almost a monster, but in order to stop Yelu Zongzhen, Li Zhang couldn't care about this, not to mention that this secret letter would only fall into the hands of Zhao Anren, and it would be impossible for others to know.

At that moment, Li Zhang put the letter in his arms, and then went to the Imperial City Division in person, the Imperial City Division seemed to be only the yamen that managed the palace forbidden guards, but in fact it was a spy agency of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was directly under the control of the emperor, and the connection between Li Zhang and Zhao Anren was also approved by Zhao Zhen, so he could use the power of the Imperial City Division.

After the letter was sent away, Li Zhang had nothing to do, so he simply went into the palace to find Zhao Zhen, and during this time, there was a proposal by the minister to ask Zhao Zhen to set up a new one, but Zhao Zhen was not lightly angry, even if he punished a few officials heavily, he couldn't stop the mouths of these officials, so now he can only sulk with himself.

At that moment, Li Zhang came to the Vertical Arch Palace, and sure enough, he found that Zhao Zhen was sitting there with a sullen face at this time, and the piles of recitals next to him had not been approved, and it seemed that he was in a bad mood, Li Zhang stepped forward and said with a smile: "What, Your Majesty is still angry because of those ministers?" ”

"Not only a few ministers, but even the queen mother talked to me today, although she didn't say it explicitly, but listening to the meaning of her words, it seems that she also wants me to set up a new queen as soon as possible." Zhao Zhen sighed at this time, and said helplessly on his face, he could not listen to the words of the ministers, but he could not listen to his mother's words.

"My aunt also spoke!" Li Zhang also showed a look of surprise when he heard this, but it was normal to think about it, after all, Empress Dowager Li, as a mother, naturally hoped that Zhao Zhen would come out of the pain of losing his wife as soon as possible, and the harem could not always be without a hostess, so the matter of establishing a queen would have to be put on the agenda sooner or later.

"It's not just the queen mother, even the little lady is looking for me today, and what she says is almost exactly the same as the queen mother, it seems that there must be collusion." Zhao Zhen said helplessly again at this time, although neither Empress Dowager Li nor Concubine Yang said it explicitly, he still felt the pressure from the palace.

"And what are your plans?" Li Zhang also asked again when he heard this.

I saw that Zhao Zhen was silent for a while at this time, and finally sighed and said: "Look at it again, I really don't have the mind to stand up now, unless the queen mother picks out and forces me, I won't agree." ”

Li Zhang was not surprised by Zhao Zhen's attitude, after all, it was really difficult for Zhao Zhen, who had always missed the old love, to set up a new queen in such a short period of time, and it was estimated that Empress Dowager Li also knew her son's character, so she didn't make her words clear.

However, as soon as Zhao Zhen's words fell, he suddenly saw an attendant come to report, saying that Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng came to see him together, which made Zhao Zhen also stunned, Li Zhang looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise at this time and said: "These two people are not also here for the establishment of the new queen, right?" ”

Zhao Zhen also thinks the same way, don't look at the relationship between Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng has eased a lot, but there is still little contact with them, if they want to come to see Zhao Zhen together, it must be a major matter, and now Zhao Zhen can only think of this matter.

However, the two prime ministers asked to see each other, and Zhao Zhen couldn't help but see them, so he had no choice but to announce them in, and soon saw Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng enter the main hall, Zhao Zhen immediately asked: "What is the important thing for the two Aiqing to come?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a twist that Luoyang just sent!" I saw that Lu Yijian directly took out a piece of music from his sleeve at this time and sent it to the front road, his face was full of solemn expression, and even Wang Zeng behind him had a serious face at this time.

Seeing that the two of them were not here for the sake of the future, this made Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang both show surprised looks, and then Zhao Zhen took the fold and opened it, but after just a few glances, he was shocked and shouted: "The hat demon has reappeared in Luoyang!" ”

"The Hat Demon?" Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this strange name, and then he felt that this name was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Yes, in the second year of Tianxi, the hat demon made waves to make the east and west of the capital uneasy, fortunately, the emperor dealt with it properly, and the matter of the hat demon calmed down, but this time Luoyang reappeared the hat demon, and the minister was worried that it would cause the original riot again!" I saw Wang Zeng step forward at this time and said, when the hat demon was in turmoil, he and Lu Yijian were personally involved in quelling this matter, so they came to see Zhao Zhen together.

"This is terrible, last time the hat demon appeared in Luoyang first, and then appeared in the capital, even the army was involved, if the hat demon appears again this time, I'm afraid it will be another big chaos!" Zhao Zhen also said to himself anxiously at this time, it seems that he also knows the seriousness of the hat demon.

"Wait a minute, can anyone explain to me what a hat demon is?" Li Zhang finally found an opportunity to interject at this time, he really didn't understand what Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian were talking about, he only knew that the hat demon seemed to be very powerful, and it was affected by it from Luoyang, Xijing to Kaifeng, Tokyo.

"Cousin doesn't know about the hat demon?" Zhao Zhen also showed a surprised expression when he heard Li Zhang's words, looking at him as if he was looking at a monster, after all, the reputation of the hat demon was simply too widespread, just like the "divine bird" that fell into the capital, not to mention the capital, even the entire Great Song Dynasty knew it.

"This ...... I just heard Wang Shenzheng say that this hat demon is a matter of the second year of Tianxi, and you also know that I was injured in the brain later, and I don't remember the previous things very clearly, but the name of the hat demon feels very familiar to me. Li Zhang explained with some embarrassment, he hadn't crossed the second year of Tianxi, so he naturally didn't know what happened before, but looking at Zhao Zhen's appearance, it seemed that everyone should know about the hat demon?

"I remember, cousin you fell from a tree and was injured when the divine bird came into the world, and it's normal not to remember what happened before, and because the influence of the divine bird is too great, and later the people in the capital only care about the divine bird, so no one mentioned the previous hat demon, but before the divine bird, the hat demon was known to everyone in the capital, and even reached the level of smelling and changing!" Zhao Zhen also immediately remembered when he heard this.

"Is the Hat Demon scary?" When Li Zhang heard Zhao Zhen talk about the hat demon, an emperor in the hall actually showed a look of fear, which made him ask even more curiously.

"It's terrible, if it wasn't for the emperor's proper handling back then, maybe it would have caused chaos in the capital, or even serious, even the whole world..." Lu Yijian also suddenly interjected at this time, but in the end he kept silent, but other people also knew what he was going to say, and even Zhao Zhen showed a natural expression, although he was still young at the time, but he also felt the tense atmosphere in the capital at that time.

Hearing Lu Yijian's words, Li Zhang was also more curious, and immediately asked Zhao Zhen and the three of them about the hat demon again, through the mouths of the three of them, Li Zhang knew that such a bizarre thing as the hat demon had happened in history, and this incident even shook the rule of the Great Song Dynasty at that time!
