No matter what happens in the palace, the most important thing is to grasp the key people in their hands, and they will be invincible.

At the beginning, when Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were fighting for power, in the end, it was Sima Yi, an outsider, who seized the power of Wei.

There are two reasons for its success.

On the one hand, it is true that Sima Yi is scheming and deceived the people sent by Cao Shuang to test him with the method of pretending to be dead.

On the other hand, when Sima Yi launched a coup d'état, the first thing he did was to control the Queen Mother and Emperor Wei in his own hands, occupying the righteousness, and the soldiers under him naturally would not do anything to Emperor Wei, which made the Cao Shuang brothers captured.

"Yes, just listen to the sermon. Should it go to the Ten Princesses first, or go to the kings first. Empress Dowager Zhu was already panicked, and when she heard Cai Dao say this, she hurriedly responded. However, she threw Cai Dao a difficult problem.

In terms of emotion and relationship, Cai Dao should indeed go to the tenth princess first, but according to the situation in the palace, the possibility of a palace change is not impossible. In case Zhao Xu died suddenly, once someone had bad intentions, the easiest and most effective way was to control one of the kings in his own hands. The eldest prince Zhao Ban is still young now, and he inherited the unification as the emperor's younger brother, and it didn't happen in the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Cai Dao's most rational approach now is to immediately take Empress Dowager Zhu and Zhao Ban to lead the troops to the palace of the kings, as long as the kings are controlled, even if the people with bad intentions control part of the forces in the palace, they will do nothing. Because, the sons of the first emperor Song Shenzong, in addition to the official family, are now in the palace of the kings.

In the face of these little princes, the soldiers will throw rat bogeys. The remaining officers, as long as Cai Dao is allowed to be a high-ranking officer, their subordinates will naturally not lack ambitious people.

Cai Dao replied categorically: "Zhuwang Palace, Queen Mother, you can send your personal eunuch to personally hold your decree and let people lead troops to protect the ten princesses, and if the situation allows, he will immediately bring people to the Zhuwang Palace to meet you together." If the conditions do not allow, let him lead someone to avoid the tenth princess elsewhere. ”

Immediately, he didn't bother to ask the Queen Mother, and directly ordered the Queen Mother's personal eunuch and instructed: "Gonggong Zhu, it's you." The Queen Mother gives you only one task, that is, to protect the ten princesses, you don't need to defend the ten princesses' bedroom, you just need to protect the lives of the ten princesses. Also, the Queen Mother's decree should not be used indiscriminately, it can only be used to protect the ten princesses, do you understand? ”

Immediately afterwards, Cai Dao asked the Empress Dowager Zhu to write three edicts, and the Empress Dowager was emotional at this time, and her hands were trembling, but Cai Dao couldn't take care of so much.

The first way is to give Gonggong Zhu to protect the ten princesses.

The second way is to let people go outside the palace and pass it to the Di family.

The third and final edict, Cai Dao also gave the deputy head of the Cining Palace's guards, and the content was to order him to lead troops to protect the safety of the Meng clan.

Empress Dowager Zhu listened to the content of this edict and didn't say anything, after all, the Meng family is the biological mother of the eldest prince Zhao Ban, in addition to such a big thing, it is also a proper etiquette to send troops to protect her safety. Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhu wrote three edicts according to Cai Dao's original words, and at the same time acquiesced to his arrangement.

Afterwards, Cai Dao immediately took the guards of the Cining Palace, the protector Empress Dowager Zhu and the eldest prince Zhao Ban, and led people to the palace together.

Along the way, those palace guards who really felt at a loss, from officers to ordinary soldiers, saw Cai Dao, Empress Dowager Zhu and the eldest prince, and they had the backbone in their hearts.

Listen to the Queen Mother's words, and nothing will go wrong. After all, this is the order of the biological mother of the official family, not to mention, the direction they are going to is not the official family's bedroom, but to the palace of the kings, which is not a major matter of rebellion.

Now, everyone in the palace can feel that there is indeed chaos in the palace, and it is not small. However, most people are still in the dark, and no one knows the exact details.

It's incredible.

Because, for such a big thing, the Queen Mother has been kept in the dark. Therefore, most of the forbidden troops encountered by this team were willing to act with the Queen Mother.

The number of people in the team is gathering more and more, and the palace of the kings is not too far from the Queen Mother's Cining Palace. Therefore, it only took less than half an hour, and Cai Dao and they were about to reach their destination.

However, when everyone had already seen the palace of the kings, the soldiers in front suddenly came to report that they had also encountered a pair of forbidden troops in front. This side reported the order of the queen mother, but the other party shouted that he was ordered by the emperor to come to receive the kings, but he rushed to use the knife first.

This side was intimidated by the momentum of the other party and suffered a big loss.

Cai Dao held up the generals in front of the Queen Mother and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, who instructed the people who moved on to the brothers in front, Poor Dao is not clear, but one thing, Poor Dao can be sure. Those people were not sent by the government. Think about it, if they can make a holy decree, will they still use it? The Queen Mother, her old man, will naturally go back. But these people preemptively took the lead, and they were clearly thieves. ”

"Brothers, protect the kings and avenge the fallen brothers. Rush with me! As he spoke, Cai Dao drew the saber at his waist and was about to rush in the direction of the enemy.

Of course, Cai Dao is making a show, the soldiers are in danger, and he will definitely not be in danger.

So, the head of the guards beside Empress Dowager Zhu immediately stood up, he was going to play a double reed with Cai Dao, and said impassionedly and loudly: "Cai Daochang, you can't be brave!" You are still needed to sit here and protect the kings, so I'll leave it to us! ”

"Yes! Daochang Cai, Empress Dowager Zhu and the eldest prince also need you to take care of them here, and the murder will be left to us! ”

“……”

The generals under his command didn't see that the two were really acting, but they all loyally stopped Cai Dao.

"Oh well! Listen to orders. The passage in the palace is narrow, and so many people rush over together, no matter who has the advantage in terms of strength between us and the other party, it can't be reflected here. Therefore, it is only necessary to stand up to the opponent in front of you. If any of you are familiar with the environment and passages, you can recommend yourself and lead your troops back to the other side's flank, even if it is over the palace walls. Most of the soldiers in the palace don't have bows and crossbows, so you can wait until the forces on both sides reach the designated position and work together to defeat each other. Do you understand? After this battle, the Queen Mother and her old people will definitely not treat you badly, that is, the brothers who died in the war, I Cai Dao promise here that their families will be settled. After saying that, Cai Dao cut off the bun on his head with a knife.
