Although Shi Chong thought so in his heart, he said quietly on his face: "This detoxification still needs to poison people, and I don't know where this Li Kang is now, I heard that the Infantry Division and the Horse Soldier Division have sent people to search for Li Kang everywhere, I don't know if I can find him." ”

Zhao Laosi's face was heavy, and he said in a sad tone: "Even if you find Li Kang now, I'm afraid it's already too late." ”

"What?"

Shi Chen and both of them opened their mouths wide and looked at Zhao Laosi in surprise.

Zhao Laosi shook his head, poured himself a glass of wine, lowered his head and sucked it all into his mouth, and when he raised his head again, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.

"Is the official family ......?"

Chen Yaochuan hurriedly spoke, but his eyes were staring at Zhao Laosi, and he didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

Zhao Laosi nodded, and he said: "The reason why the Queen Mother didn't mourn was because she was afraid that there would be chaos. ”

"Mess? Who would dare? ”

Shi and Chen said in unison, they knew that it was their unshirkable duty to defend the safety of the palace.

Zhao Laosi raised his head and sighed: "After all, Xu'er is too young, the master and young are easy to be humiliated, this is the first time that the Great Song Dynasty has been founded for more than 100 years, and it is the first time to face such a serious problem. ”

Shi Chong and Chen Yaochuan glanced at each other, both of them buried their heads and did not speak, they all knew that Zhao Xu was now nominally the crown prince, if Boss Zhao died, besides Zhao Xu, could there be anyone else who could inherit the unification.

Zhao Laosi saw that the two of them did not speak, so he continued: "The two shoulder the important task of garrisoning the forbidden palace, and this king does not need to hide from the two. is really a good candidate, but the imperial brother insisted again and again that he made Xu'er the crown prince, otherwise, King Yong would have become the prince long ago. In the past, the royal brother was still in good health, so he could naturally make Xu'er the crown prince so that he could teach him the way to be a king, but he didn't expect the royal brother to die in the middle of the road, and Xu'er was still young, which made people feel at ease. ”

Shi Chong exclaimed: "Does the Queen Mother want to change the new monarch now!" ”

Zhao Laosi nodded silently: "The queen mother really has a meaning." This is the reason why her old man's secret is not mourning, she wants to find an opportunity, and then issue a decree to succeed King Yong. Today, the king found the two to convey the will of the queen mother, hoping that the two generals could support her old man's decision. ”

Shi Chong saw Zhao Laosi looking at himself and Chen Yaochuan with blazing eyes, and hurriedly pulled Chen Yaochuan and said, "Don't worry, the prince and the two of us are deeply favored by the emperor and trusted by the queen mother and the official family. Shouldering this heavy responsibility, he should do his best to support the decision of the Queen Mother and the two princes. ”

Shi Chong saw Zhao Laosi several times, and already vaguely knew that Zhao Laosi wanted to establish Zhao Laosi as the king, and now he saw that Zhao Laosi had confessed to himself the will of the Queen Mother. Hurriedly pulled Chen Yaochuan to express his position, he was thoughtful, and when he made a statement, he did not forget to express his allegiance to Zhao Laoer.

Chen Yaochuan saw that Shi Chong had already spoken. also responded: "The last general is at the disposal of the Queen Mother and the princes and General Shi. ”

Zhao Laosi saw that both of them had already expressed their positions, and he nodded with satisfaction: "The two generals really understand the righteousness, and this king will thank the two generals on behalf of the queen mother!" ”

After speaking. Zhao Laosi and Shi and Chen successively made a move.

Zhao Laosi knew that it would be more convenient for him to let the second salted fish turn over and become the emperor, or it would be more convenient to act in the name of Gao Taotao, and he also knew that Gao Taotao, who was thousands of miles away now, would definitely not agree with his proposition. But what can it be, Zhao Laosi believes that as long as his knife is on the neck of his mother Gao Taotao, Gao Taotao will definitely change his mind and make Zhao Laoer the emperor. At that time, if those civil and military generals in the court still have any different opinions, as long as Shi Chong and Chen Yaochuan are ordered to come forward to punish them, they are afraid that those civil and military generals will not bow down to them.

coerced the queen mother to order the ministers, this is exactly Zhao Laosi's plan.

……

This dull banquet ended quickly, Zhao Laosi was very satisfied with Shi and Chen personally sent the two out of the house, looking at the back of the two of them leaving, Zhao Laosi felt that things were still moving smoothly in the direction he expected.

Zhao Laosi turned around and returned to the study, there were two people in the study, one was Zhao Laosi's henchman Liu Yun, and the other was the national teacher of the Western Xia Kingdom, Kozlo.

Zhao Laosi walked up to Liu Yun, and he asked, "Can you find out, what is the weakness of this Chen Yaochuan?" ”

Liu Yundao: "I found it out, this Chen Yaochuan came to Bianjing at the beginning of last year, and he was with a Feng in the Fan Building. The dust woman is getting better, a few days ago, in order to redeem the woman, he once embezzled the military salary and filled his pocket. ”

Zhao Laosi was stunned and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this black boss is still a man of temperament, and this embezzlement of military salaries is a serious crime, isn't he afraid of being punished?" ”

Liu Yun also said with a smile: "There is a knife on the head of the color character, this Chen Yaochuan is now holding the knife on his neck, and he can't complain about others." The villain has already asked several ministers to write a letter of advice on Chen Yaochuan's greed for military salaries, and will send someone to Chen's mansion tomorrow to tell him that he is the prince, you will send someone to take him down, and the villain thinks that from now on, there is no need to worry about this General Chen not obeying the will of the prince. ”

"Good!"

Zhao Laosi praised Liu Yun's ability, and he moved his gaze to Kozlo.

Seeing that Zhao Laosi was about to speak, Kozlo shook his head first and said: "Lord Wang, there is still some trouble in controlling the affairs of the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, and the national teacher continues to let that Chen Meiren do it, but I didn't expect that Chen Meiren has been on a hunger strike for five days, her physical strength is exhausted, and she is in a coma on the couch, and the soul dementorship Dafa of the national teacher has no effect on her." ”

Zhao Laosi nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, there should be other ways." ”

Kozlo still shook his head, he said: "This forbidden palace has been too tightly guarded recently, and the national master originally thought of sneaking into the palace and personally drugging the queen mother, so as to perform the soul dementoring method on the queen mother, but there is no way to do it." ”

Zhao Laosi knew that Kozlo had misunderstood what he meant, and the other way he said was not to let Kozlo enter the palace now, his own way was that as long as Shi Chong and Chen Yaochuan supported him, he would have a way to get close to Gao Taotao, and when the time came, he would be both soft and hard, and he would not be afraid that Gao Tao would not listen to him.

Rather than using Kozlo's Soul Dementorship to turn Gao Tao into an ignorant walking corpse, Zhao Laosi felt that his method would make it easier to gain the trust of those officials in the court who opposed him and the second child.

……

Zhao Lao Er returned to his Yongwang Mansion, and he sat alone in the study.

The people have already sorted out the books that have been drying for an afternoon, and Zhao Lao Er greedily breathes the fragrance of the pages, which is a habit he has developed over the years, as long as his mood is tense, he likes to breathe the fragrance of the paper, which can often make his nervous mood temporarily calm.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, you go back to the house and wait, Brother Wang has his own way to make you the Son of Heaven."

Thinking of the last words that Zhao Laosi said when he was separated from him during the day, Zhao Laosi felt like an outsider, and he knew that Zhao Laosi must have done a lot of things behind his back that he didn't know......

Thinking and thinking, Zhao Laoer's nervousness did not relax. (To be continued......)
