"Concubine Wan Niangniang doesn't know what you are looking for us for? It must be some kind of confidential matter at such a late hour, right? "Xi Fengren understands and behaves.

Father-in-law Chang also echoed: "Yes, our Concubine Wan Niangniang is about to give birth, at this time the emperor went out to cultivate again, I don't know what to do with the harem in the days to come, and no one will choose a name for the birth of the little prince." ”

Yang Shi saw that these two people didn't have a respectful attitude at all when they saw Concubine Wan, and teased Concubine Wan from time to time, how could he, as the man behind her, not stand up and speak for her. Concubine Wan was afraid that Yang Shi would be impulsive and miss a big event, so she touched his foot under the table and signaled him not to come nonsense. Yang Shi received this message and had no choice but to give up.

Concubine Wan herself also knew that the two people invited were because she no longer had Li Yuanri's backing like before, and she had become frivolous towards herself. But she still showed a calm smile very maturely, "It's true that the king went out to cultivate, but the world of Western Xia is still surnamed Li." My kid didn't have a name, so he was also surnamed Li. Do you think I'm talking about it? ”

Chang Gonggong and Xi Fengren both nodded awkwardly in agreement, Yang Shouwei was in a very complicated mood, knowing that this child was his own, but he still had to admit that this child was owned by someone else, this feeling must be uncomfortable in every parent's heart. Guard Yang sat there in a daze without saying a word.

Concubine Wan pretended not to see it, and continued: "It doesn't matter if the child's name is named, you can take it after birth." It's just that our mother and mother don't know how to live in the future, and now that the king is no longer in the palace, it is not possible to rely on it, so I think of our two highly respected adults in Western Xia, I think you two must have a high opinion, right? ”

Hearing this, Xi Fengren and Chang Gonggong glanced at each other, and finally got to the point after going around for a long time, this Concubine Wan Niangniang just wants to let Longzi have a guarantee after he is born. And the reason why they came was also to use the child in Concubine Wan's belly to achieve their goal of taking power.

The two sides hit it off, but Xi Fengren was still not at ease, and said tentatively: "Concubine Wan, you are too worried, now Xixia is in good order under the governance of Princess Xiaoxiang, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a peaceful scene everywhere." The little prince is also of royal blood, how can Princess Xiaoxiang, who is an older sister, not take more care of her younger brother, won't this throne be the little prince's in the future? ”

"Alas, what you think is too simple, we don't say secret words, you and Father-in-law Chang should also see it, after this Princess Xiaoxiang is in charge of the government on behalf of the king, what else do you old ministers have to say, everything is up to her, she can do whatever she wants. Just like this envoy sent an envoy to Mongolia to form an alliance, I heard that this princess rejected Lord Xifeng's opinions many times, and finally decided to form an alliance with Mongolia after listening to those few gods from Nanchu. Now that she is only acting as the king, she is already so high-flying and domineering, and she doesn't take you seriously, if it takes a long time, she can't tell what she will do, maybe she will drive you home to retire. ”

Concubine Wan's words also spoke to the hearts of Chang Gonggong and Xi Fengren, which is also the reason why they are willing to let go and force the palace, compared to giving up the power in front of them to live a lifetime at home, they are willing to gamble, and if the bet is right, it will be a catastrophe.

"Since Concubine Wan Niangniang is quick to talk, then we won't beat around the bush with you. The reason why the two of us agreed to you this time is for the sake of Princess Xiaoxiang's rule. You also know that now Her Royal Highness the princess is acting as the king, and she doesn't take us old ministers in her eyes at all, but begins to promote some of her own people, which is obviously to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and when the power she cultivates rises, she will kick us all away. So we have long wanted to find Concubine Wan Niangniang and discuss with you to let the little prince sit on the throne as soon as possible. Once the little prince is born, we will jointly force the princess to step down and support the little prince to become the king. I promise that I will do my best to support the little prince to ascend the throne smoothly. Xi Fengren said very sincerely.

Father-in-law Chang also echoed beside him: "That's right, Concubine Wan Niangniang, I grew up watching the king, and I have the deepest relationship with him, and the king has to give up three points when he sees me." But now that this little princess is in power, she is against me everywhere, and I want to treat some people better, and she will say irresponsible things and block them, which really chills the hearts of us old people. ”

These two old ministers resonated, and this matter hit it off. There is nothing left to go around in circles on either side. Directly open Chen Pugong, spread out all the next plans and explain it clearly.

Xi Fengren suggested that the disappearance of Li Yuanri should be used as an incision, and he was forced to enter the harem to check the situation. and then directly support the newborn little prince to be the king. In this way, no matter how much the princess has the right, she can't forget the rules set by her ancestors, the throne is passed on to men but not to women, and the elders are not passed on to the young. Chang Gonggong also said that he would do internal response in it. At that time, Concubine Wan only needs to be the queen mother comfortably and listen to the government, and Yang Guards will also be able to fly Huang Tengda to be a big official.

The two sides made a detailed plan and gathered all the soldiers and horses, and when Concubine Wan gave birth to a dragon son, they rushed in and proclaimed themselves emperor.

Just a week after the envoy of the Western Xia envoy to Mongolia, the child in Concubine Wan's belly also fell to the ground, and sure enough, she was indeed a little prince. After learning the news, Xi Fengren and Chang Gonggong entered the palace overnight to confirm the matter with Concubine Wan, preparing to launch a coup d'état tomorrow morning.

On this morning, Chao Xi Fengren acted according to the plan discussed with Chang Gonggong in the evening, and first said in front of Princess Xiaoxiang: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I haven't seen the King of Xixia in person for many days, and it has been rumored that the King is not in good health, but we are courtiers are not allowed to enter to greet the Holy Lord, it is really inappropriate, I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess agrees that we will go to the harem to visit the King of Xixia together." ”

The news that Li Yuanri was resting in the palace was that Princess Xiaoxiang was worried that the news of the disappearance of the king would cause a nationwide riot, so she deliberately blocked it, and even many ministers didn't know about it, but she knew that he knew the news in advance. So how could he make such a request made Princess Xiaoxiang feel incomprehensible.

The princess said: "The king is sick, do you want to go in to see him to disturb his rest and hope to aggravate his condition?" I see that you do a good job in your political achievements and do a good job in the livelihood of the people in Western Xia, this is the greatest care for him. You don't have to go through the formalities, you have to go into the palace to visit him. If there is nothing to do, I will retire from the court, and I will also go to see how my father's illness is. ”
