Du Wenhao said: "Father-in-law Jiao, please speak." Gonggong Jiao glanced at Du Wenhao: "I heard that when the adults came back, they had some misunderstandings with Prince Yong and Lord Cao, and took two princes hostage, and also cut Lord Cao, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Yes, there were Prime Minister Cai Qu and others at that time. They framed me for leaving my post without permission, so that the emperor died of illness, and wanted to put me in prison for punishment, I was anxious, and in a fit of anger I took King Cao as a hostage, and then King Yong came forward to change King Cao, and went with me to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother retreated and chanted, and he accompanied me to the gate of the palace, and ordered everyone not to trouble me, and this matter was not allowed to be pursued again. That's it. This King Yong is really true to his word, very righteous, and no one really comes to trouble me these days. Hey hey"

Father-in-law Jiao was very puzzled and glanced at Du Wenhao. asked: "Lord Yong talks about righteousness, did you say this to your master Shen Shengping?" ”

Du Wenhao shook his head: "He went out early in the morning." Never came back. ”

"That's right, Master Du, you and I are good brothers, our family just reminded you, don't tell outsiders about our family."

Du Wenhao hurriedly said: "How can it be, father-in-law, please say." My mouth was tight. ”

"Well, that's good." Gonggong Jiao leaned his head over and said in a low voice: "Brother must pay attention to Lord Yong, this person is not as you imagined!" ”

Du Wenhao was shocked: "What? King Yong doesn't talk about credibility? ”

"We don't dare to say that, but. Now that it is a critical juncture of life and death, Lord Du and our family have always been good, and our family can't bear to see you face danger without knowing it. What kind of person is King Yong, you go and ask your master Shen Shengping, he has been in the court for decades and knows very well. ”

Du Wenhao really looked at Gonggong Jiao, and saw that he didn't mean to joke half-separately, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden in his heart, he held them hostage in public, and he could endure such a thing, he always thought that King Yong was open-minded, but he never thought that this might be his expedient measure, and when he competed for the throne, he naturally wanted to establish a united front extensively. The fewer enemies the better, so spare yourself for the time being, and settle accounts after the autumn, and now that you are still useful, you will send Cai Jing to buy it, but. He can be said to have bullied him in public, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter for a prince, if he is not broad-minded, once he succeeds in ascending the throne. It's normal to find a reason to kill yourself and get rid of your hatred.

Thinking of this, Du Wenhao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Gonggong Jiao for reminding me, I must be careful." ”

Father-in-law Jiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: Be careful? Hehe, can you avoid this kind of thing? ”

"Then, please advise my father-in-law!" Du Wenhao took out another handful of silver tickets from his arms and handed them all over.

This time, Father-in-law Jiao pushed the money back: "Master Du, we can't ask for your money." ”

"Why?"

"Our family also has something to ask you, and the key to solving your problem is what our family wants to entrust you."

Du Wenhao couldn't understand, and looked at him suspiciously: "What does my father-in-law command, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Jiao Gong said fairly: "Our family hopes that when you see the Queen Mother later, we can persuade her to make a decision as soon as possible." Whether it is to set up the six princes or let Brother Yongyu end up with his brother, he must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise"

"How else?"

"According to our understanding, in the past few days, King Yong's activities have been very frequent, and our family is worried, alas, the queen mother's personality is too weak, if "alas! The change of Xuanwumen cannot be repeated! ”

Du Wenhao's heart was in shock, the change of Xuanwumen? Wasn't that a bloody battle for the throne of Tang Taizong? Li Shimin killed his own brother and younger brother, and only then did he win the throne. Could it be this King Yong"? Du Wenhao didn't dare to think further. He asked, "Does King Yong have any specific actions?" ”

"This" is not clear to our family, but we only know that in the past few days, the guard infantry and the guard horse army have been frequently transferred, and the generals in the division have also been replaced. Speaking of this, Gonggong Jiao lowered his voice and said to Du Wenhao: "The commanders of the guard infantry army and the guard horse army are all now all the people of King Yong!" ”

Du Wenhao couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. If the news of Gonggong Jiao is true, then King Yong is ready to do both, if he can't inherit the throne peacefully, he will have to solve it by force and kill his own nephew. He lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Lord Yong" is not such a person, right? ”

"No, Master Du just opened his eyes and looked at it carefully. It's not good for us to talk about this kind of thing. ”

Du Wenhao asked, "Who is the commander of the front division of the palace?" ”

"It's Lord Wei Wei, the one whose daughter was once sick and was healed by you and saved her life.

Du Wenhao didn't know that this Miss Wei was good at singing and dancing, and she was deeply favored by the Queen Mother, and she was ready to give her to the six princes as the imperial concubine in the future. It was the recommendation of Miss Wei, who would rather die than heal by caesarean section. Only then was he able to treat the Empress Dowager. Only those who have entered the officialdom. Speaking of which, I still owe her a favor.

Du Wenhao asked, "Isn't this Lord Wei Anwei waiting for the front of the palace?" When did you mention the commander? ”

The supreme leader of the temple division is the commander. There is also a deputy commander below, and then Du Yuhou. Two levels worse.

Jiao Gong said fairly: "The Empress Dowager asked the emperor to mention it half a year ago. ”

Du Wenhao asked: "What is this Lord Wei'anwei's attitude towards the succession to the throne?" ”

"Then you need to ask? His daughter is the imperial concubine of the inner designation. Once the sixth prince ascends the throne, he will be the queen! He naturally desperately wants to protect the six princes on the throne. The Empress Dowager died. Lord Wei's guards in front of the palace guarded the palace heavily. This is probably the reason why King Yong has not done it for a long time. ”

Du Wenhao thought to himself that the Empress Dowager's move to promote Wei An was really far-sighted, which was equivalent to giving the six princes a talisman. It came in handy at a critical time.

Suddenly, Du Wenhao remembered something and asked: "These three officials only have the right to lead the troops, the power of the troops is in the Privy Council, and there is no military command arrow, he can't mobilize the army." Don't

Jiao Gong said fairly: "That's the case, but they do have a problem with mobilizing the army, I'm afraid that the privy envoy Han Jin is already their person!" ”

Du Wenhao shook his head and said, "No! If the privy envoy is already a man of King Yong, he can mobilize the army. Why don't you order Wei An's palace army to be transferred outside the city or somewhere else, will the six princes be finished soon? ”

Father-in-law Jiao nodded and said, "Yes, what is going on, our family doesn't know." ”

"Then what is the queen mother now, what does it mean, does my father-in-law know?"

Gonggong Jiao shook his head slowly: "Since the death of the emperor and the empress dowager, the empress dowager has been crying, almost not saying anything, let alone mentioning any matter of succession to the throne. ”

"Then the father-in-law didn't say a few words?"

"Our family is a minister, and ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, this is the ancestor, and our family never interferes in this kind of thing. We just hope that we can be safe. However, when it comes down to your own affairs, you have to think about it. Let's stop the Queen Mother for a long time! ”

Du Wenhao nodded, and the two got out of the car. Walked to the gate of the heavily guarded palace, entered the palace after showing the waist card to verify his identity, and walked quickly to the queen mother's bedroom, where the queen mother was keeping a watch.

After the report entered, the Queen Mother summoned Du Wenhao to meet him.

Du Wenhao entered the dormitory and passed through the porch. Finally came to the main hall courtyard money, the gate was closed, the leading officer took Du Wenhao to enter from the side corner door, it was a small courtyard, walked up the steps across the patio, and the palace maid who was waiting at the door gave a blessing, and then raised the door curtain. Du Wenhao bowed in, and the curtain was lowered.

All the windows in this house were closed and unlit, and the light was dim and empty. On the soft couch in the middle, there was a noble lady crooked, wearing a long black skirt with a snow-white plain belt tied to her belt, and her face was hidden in the dark. I can't see it really, but judging from my figure, it is the Queen Mother.

It stands to reason that when the queen mother sees a foreign minister, she wants to separate the curtains. But this time the curtain was pulled aside, and next to the queen mother's soft couch, there was a chair.

Du Wenhao stepped forward and saluted deeply: "Humble Du Wenhao, see the Queen Mother." ”

The Empress Dowager's voice was a little hoarse, and she waved her hand: "Get up, you go to the mourning hall to worship the Empress Dowager first, and then come over to talk." ”

"Yes!"

Du Wenhao got up and was about to ask where the mourning hall was, but he had already heard the sound of the Buddha horn chanting again in his ears, and there was a faint cry. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a nearby door open, and the voice was coming from that side. He bowed down and took a look, and sure enough, in the huge hall, several white yarns hung down from the top. Behind the white veil, there was a huge black lacquer coffin more than one person high. Two rows of monks in yellow robes are chanting Buddhist scriptures while holding wooden fish and holding New Year beads.

There were several women sitting on the ground in front of the mourning hall. They are all plain, although the light in the room is dim. Du Wenhao still could tell that it was the queen, Concubine Zhu De, Lin Jiehao and other concubines.

There is a spiritual plaque erected on the center of the mourning hall, and all kinds of tributes are placed in front of it, with thumb-thick incense, and the hall is full of smoke.

Du Wenhao walked to the incense case, looked at the spiritual position of the Empress Dowager, remembered the old lady's kindness to him, couldn't help but feel sad, picked up his robe and knelt down, and cried on the ground.

His cry caused the queen and other concubines to whimper, and there were bursts of mourning in the mourning hall for a while. Crying.

As soon as the women cried, Du Wenhao was embarrassed to cry, just now this cry, despite the time period. The depression in my heart has also been significantly reduced. He kowtowed nine more times.

peeking in, I saw that the concubines were also looking at themselves, and the pretty faces of the pear blossoms with rain showed a sense of relief, as if they had seen a savior.

Du Wenhao smiled reluctantly, and was about to get up, but his eyes fell on a woman and couldn't fall off anymore.

This woman is plain, with willow eyebrows like smoke, plain teeth and red lips, apricot face and peach cheeks, ice muscles, endless sorrow, endless grievances. The pitiful appearance is even more touching, but it is the queen of the country.

It can really be said that he wants to be quiet, filial piety, and the sorrow under the beauty of the queen at this moment makes Du Wenhao even more heartbroken, and he really wants to go over and hug her into his arms, kiss her tears at the corners of her eyes, caress her milky face, and soothe her softly so that she doesn't want to be sad.

Just when Du Wen disappeared and was extremely depressed, the monk next to him rang the magic bell, which made him clear, and he hurriedly opened his eyes, not daring to look at it again. After climbing the three pillars of high incense and prostrating on the ground, he got up and exited the mourning hall.

Back in the living room next door, Du Wenhao was still a little distracted. bowed to the Queen Mother, and even forgot what to say.

The queen mother wanted to forget Du Wenhao's existence, and still lay on the soft couch with her body crooked, and after a while, she waved her hand, pointed to the chair next to her, and motioned for Du Wenhao to sit down on the chair. He remained silent again.

The Queen Mother didn't say it, and Du Wenhao himself naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he sat quietly and waited.

After a while, the Queen Mother said quietly: "There is something very tricky in the mourning family, and I have always wanted to find someone to come up with an idea. ”

Du Wenhao sighed in his heart

, Yongchu and Sima Mi both guessed to read a little. The keen observation of this scheming politician is simply astonishing. If you want to play politics, you are no match for them.

The Empress Dowager said: "The emperor died suddenly. He did not leave any edict, and he did not even have time to crown the crown prince. The ministers of the court and China are now divided into two factions, one is Cai Quwei, who supports the succession of King Yong, and the other is Sima Guang, who is desperate to let the six princes succeed to the throne. Let the mourners listen to the government. The mourning family has no idea. You, you're an outsider, help the mourners come up with ideas

Du Wenhao already knew that the Queen Mother would be ran, and he was also thinking about this along the way. The question is coming to an end, but I still don't know how to answer this question, and I didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask it directly. He didn't know that in the past seven days and seven nights, the Queen Mother had almost not closed her eyes, and she had been thinking about it in her mind, so she didn't beat around the bush, and asked the first sentence.

Before Du Wenhao came, he wanted to help King Yong persuade the Queen Mother to let King Yong inherit the throne, but just now after listening to Gonggong Jiao's words, Du Wenhao hesitated, in case what Gonggong Jiao said was true, this King Yong is a. A person who does not speak of credibility and injustice, after assisting him to ascend the throne, he in turn settles accounts with himself after the autumn. Isn't that a shot in the foot?

This matter is related to the life of the family, we must not be in a hurry, we must plan and then act!

Therefore, Du Wenhao bowed and said: "Weichen is grateful for the trust of the Queen Mother, Prince Yong and the six princes have their own merits, and it is indeed difficult to choose."

I wonder what the Queen Mother thinks? ”

The Empress Dowager said quietly: "If the mourning family has an idea, there is no need to ask you to ask." ”

"The Queen Mother has to have one, right?" Du Wenhao wanted to see what the Queen Mother's heart was like. Then it's time to respond.

The queen mother already regarded Du Wenhao as her own person in her heart, and did not hide it, sighed, and said: "The unification should be inherited by the eldest son, this is the legacy of all dynasties, let the emperor and grandson inherit it, which is in line with orthodoxy, but the emperor and grandson inherit the throne." It is inevitable that the mourning family will listen to the government, but the mourning family does not understand national politics at all. How do you listen to politics? Think about it again, the two children of the mourning family are also the pillars of governing the country and the country. If the emperor and grandson give up the throne to them, the mourning family will be relieved, and they are afraid that Sima Guang's ministers in the court will not follow. Alas! Besides, Yan Er and Gu Er have a strong nature, and from this point on, they have to get what they want to change the law, and now they say that they want to inherit the throne, if they can't. I am afraid that the two of them will embarrass the emperor and grandson in the future

Du Wenhao bowed down and said, "The Queen Mother is wise! ”

The Queen Mother was stunned: "How can you say this?"

"The Empress Dowager has insight into King Yong's heart. This is exactly what Wechen is worried about. Who is the king is not the most urgent matter now! ”

The Empress Dowager was slightly taken aback: "Then what could be more urgent than this?" ”

"Yes!" Du Wenhao said: "The change of Xuanwu Gate. Imminent! ”

"Huh?" The queen mother has been closed for the past seven days, hiding in the deep palace, not knowing anything about the outside world, plus she is weak by nature, but she has been pushed to such a crucial position as deciding on the choice of national leaders, she can only chant poems, sing and dance, but when it comes to major national affairs, she has no idea at all. In vain, I heard Du Wenhao say that the Xuanwumen Change, the historical event of the bloody palace coup in the Tang Dynasty, as the queen mother, how could she not know, and what she was most afraid of in her heart was the palace coup. So I can't help but feel excited. Hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Du Wenhao knew that she didn't ask about national politics and didn't know the danger inside, so he leaned and said: "The Imperial Forest Army in the capital is divided into three parts, the front of the palace guard division, the guard infantry division and the guard horse military division. But now, somehow, after the death of the Holy One. The first two armies of the three teams have been controlled by King Yong, and the first army behind them is controlled by Lord Wei Anwei, the man of the six princes

"Huh? How could this be? The Queen Mother's voice trembled.

"Yes, although King Yong has two armies, Wei An only has one army, but Wei An's first army is the guard in front of the palace, the elite of the elite, and currently controls the palace, which can be defended by the strong walls of the imperial city. So the two factions are now evenly matched. But no matter who you decide to succeed to the throne, it is likely that the other party will use force to seize power. At that time, the tragedy of fratricide like Xuanwumen was afraid that it would be repeated in our Great Song Dynasty! ”

The Queen Mother sat up straight suddenly, grabbed the white silk on her waist, and asked nervously, "No!" How do you know? ”

"It was Gonggong Jiao who told Weichen on the way here, but it has not been verified, if the queen mother thinks it is necessary, Weichen can send someone to verify the situation. But please make sure the queen mother comes up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise, when the heir is announced, I am afraid that it will be the day of the disaster of my Great Song Dynasty! Even if this news is false, it is good to be prepared. ”

The Queen Mother's pale face was even more bloodless. The hoarse voice added some tremors of horror, "So, what do you think should be done about this?" ”

"Take back all the military power of both sides!"

"How to take it back? What if they don't want to set? ”

Du Wenhao was stunned for a moment, he really didn't have any ideas in this regard, it was best to go back and discuss it with Master Shen. At the moment, he hugged his fists and said: "The situation is unclear now, and it is difficult to take targeted measures." ”

"What can I do about this? The Queen Mother looked desperate. If you want to know what will happen next, please go to 6 muscle cluster chapters for more, support the author, and support genuine reading
