In Qi Niang's opinion, no matter what the relationship between Ji Ning and Zhao Yuanrong is, it should not affect her status with Zhao Yuanrong, she just helped Zhao Yuanrong win the throne, and she does not need to be involved in the personal grievances between Zhao Yuanrong and Ji Ning.

So she chose to come to Zhao Yuanrong to "complain", she thought that she was not known to Zhao Yuanrong and Ji Ning about doing this, but she didn't know that Ji Ning's original purpose in looking for her was to force her to find Zhao Yuanrong without a way out.

Zhao Yuanrong was very angry because Ji Ning wanted to rescue Zhao Yuanqi, so that she had no intention of dealing with the affairs of the court, so at this time, a little eunuch came to communicate, saying that Zhang Junming, the left minister, was here.

"Needless to say, this Zhang Xiang must be talking about the remnants of the clan such as King Chong, do I have to be a decisive king to meet the wishes of these courtiers?" Zhao Yuanrong was a little annoyed, but she had nothing to do but be patient to see her.

Waiting for Zhang Junming to come, before he could speak, Zhao Yuanrong said: "Zhang Zuoxiang is here, don't you want to talk about the prince of Chongwang, right?" ”

Zhang Junming said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister wants to discuss this matter with you. ”

Zhao Yuanrong said coldly: "Zhang Zuoxiang, I said before that I have been on the throne for a short time, and I don't want to make a big killing for the stability of this court, since in the matter of Chongwang's rebellion, Chongwang's prince is not directly involved, and I also intend to amnesty the world, so I will exempt him from his crimes and let him be a commoner!" What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty, you are cutting the grass and not eradicating the roots, if you continue to do so, the treacherous people will inevitably take advantage of Your Majesty's mercy and secretly plot to rebel, and Your Majesty has no need to save any face for the remnants of those clans in many things, only by eliminating these people, Your Majesty's throne can be stabilized." Zhang Junming said.

Zhao Yuanrong listened to Zhang Junming's attitude very resolutely, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Zhang Zuoxiang, do you have to disobey me?" ”

Zhang Junming looked very arrogant and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is dedicated to the stability of the court, not for his own selfish interests, please let Your Majesty know it!" ”

In this contradiction between monarchs and ministers, the first to soften must be Zhao Yuanrong, because she lacks the domineering spirit of an emperor, she still respects the courtiers in her heart, before she ascended the throne by force to seize power, but in fact, it has something to do with Ji Ning's secret schemes, if it weren't for Ji Ning, Zhao Yuanrong would not be ruthless.

Zhao Yuanrong was a little discouraged and said, "You go back first, I still have to think about this matter, for the time being...... First escort the prince of Chongwang back to the capital, let him live in the old site of Chongwang's mansion, and send heavy troops to garrison, so that he must not escape. ”

Zhang Junming said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is appropriate for this person to be remanded to the prison of the Criminal Department, this person is a first-class prisoner of the imperial court, if he stays in the old site of the Chongwang Mansion, I am afraid that someone will rob him, which is not what the imperial court wants." ”

Zhao Yuanrong glared at Zhang Junming, she found that many times she couldn't directly reject this left minister who was beginning to take power, and she finally sighed: "Then do what you want!" ”

"The old minister obeys!" After Zhang Junming finished speaking, he respectfully retired.

After Zhang Junming left, Zhao Yuanrong couldn't help but sit down and stared at the folds on the table in a daze: "It seems that I still lack the courage to be an emperor, women will always have some omissions in the government, unless...... I can overcome my shortcomings, but how easy is that? Alas! Maybe I can only think about how not to go against Ji Ning's wishes, and still satisfy the imperial court......"

……

……

In the capital, in Princess Pingwan's mansion, Zhao Yuanzhan also just learned about Zhao Yuanqi.

At this time, in front of Zhao Yuanzhan was her concubine Liu Ting, and next to Liu Ting, was Zhao Yuanyang, the fourth prince who had always had a close relationship with her.

After Zhao Yuanrong ascended the throne, Zhao Yuanzhan completely lost power in the court, although Zhao Yuanrong did not kill his brothers and sisters, but he took all the power in the hands of these people, and did not allow these people to leave the capital, saying that they were allowed to stay and prepare to participate in the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, in Zhao Yuanhan's view, this is his sister's house arrest of himself.

House arrest is house arrest, but at least these Zhao people are not stopped from moving around the capital, and even Zhao Yuanyang can swagger to her mansion.

“…… Sister Emperor, what do you say this new emperor is going to do? I heard that she had a promise to King Chong, and said that she would not embarrass the people of Chongwangfu, so she didn't even kill the people of Chongwangfu, and this time the prince of Chongwang was captured after more than a month, and I am afraid that he will be acquitted......"

Zhao Yuanyang seemed very incomprehensible, and when he spoke in front of Zhao Yuanyang, his tone seemed to be saying, the new emperor was simply crazy, he didn't know how to turn at all, and he was just a tendon.

Zhao Yuanzhan sneered: "Isn't it a good thing for us that she doesn't kill the prince of Chongwang?" The courtiers are now beginning to have opinions about her, those people in the court, but everyone hopes that the people of the Chongwang Mansion will die as soon as possible, so as to ensure their interests in the court, after all, many people have secretly gone to Chongwang, and no one knows where these evidences are now placed by Chongwang. ”

"Sister Huanghuang, you said that if we can find this evidence, will we blackmail and control many people in the court?" Zhao Yuanyang asked looking very expectant.

Zhao Yuanzhan said: "Let's not talk about where these criminal evidence are, just say that you can find these criminal evidence, how to blackmail these people head-on?" Will these people willingly listen to us? Why don't you think about it directly, as long as we secretly support the killing of the prince of Chongwang, we can win a lot of people's hearts, and now we have to plan to do some ruthless things, can we only sit here and wait for death? ”

"What the eldest sister means is that we still have to ...... Conspiracy? Zhao Yuanyang asked tentatively.

Zhao Yuanhan sneered: "Do you still need to ask this kind of question?" Do you want to wait until the girl Wenren dies normally, or dies of a sudden illness, so that you can have a chance to ascend to the throne? Why did you choose such a useless person, you don't weigh your own ability, whether you can compete with Wenren! ”

Zhao Yuanyang, who was directly taught by his eldest sister, looked very embarrassed, but he still had to listen carefully, just because at this time he could only rely on Zhao Yuanzhan to help him give advice.

Zhao Yuanyang can't be the crown prince, and he won't be the emperor in the future, and no one is willing to give advice to Zhao Yuanyang.

"Don Ma, now you go to inquire about the prince of Chongwang, you didn't do that well before, and I don't want to be true to you, but if you don't do this well, don't blame me for not forgiving you!" Zhao Yuanzhan said, "In the next few days, I will visit a person, this person's ability is not small, maybe he can help me achieve something great!" ”
