Zhao Laosi and Zhao Laoer each said goodbye, and then went home.

On the way home, Zhao Laosi turned his head and glanced at the second child coldly, he felt that this second child was a character who had more than enough success and more failure, and it was better not to let him know many things.

Zhao Laosi did not tell the second child that he colluded with the Xixia people, nor did he tell the second child that he was ready to use the Imperial Forest Army to force the palace.

Although there are only less than 2,000 people in the Imperial Forest Army, because of the elite weapons and well-trained, it is the most elite unit in the Bianjing Forbidden Army, and more importantly, the Imperial Forest Army is guarded in the palace and is directly responsible for the safety of the emperor's relatives in the palace.

After he established the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid his yellow robe repertoire from being staged on others, he abolished the official position of the supreme commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace before he became the emperor, and replaced the commander of the Imperial Forest Army with the commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace and the deputy commander.

Therefore, the status and power of the leader of the Imperial Forest Army have been greatly reduced. At the same time, the Song Dynasty implemented a change of military law, and the candidates for the commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace were to be changed in less than two or three years, so it was not easy for anyone to hold the brave and warlike Imperial Forest Army in their own hands under the emperor's nose.

But now the opportunity has appeared, because the current palace in front of the forbidden army commanded Shi Chong once received the favor of Zhao Laosi, many years ago when Shi Chong was still the commander of the infantry army outside Bianjing City, he had malaria once, and it was Zhao Laosi who sent medicine to cure Shi Chong.

Zhao Laosi had contact with Shi Chong a few days ago, although he had not yet clarified his plan, but Shi Chong made it clear that he wanted Shi Chong to be the first to look forward, which boosted Zhao Laosi's confidence in the fight for the throne a lot.

Zhao Laosi wants to invite Shi Chong's deputy, Chen Yaochuan, the Marquis of Yu Hou in front of the palace, to the mansion through Shi Chong tonight. Explore Chen Yaochuan's tone. He decided that if Chen Yaochuan was an unreasonable and stubborn person, he would find an opportunity to kill Chen Yaochuan in order to clear the way for Shi Chong to control the Imperial Forest Army.

……

In the main hall of the Qiwang Mansion, the lights are bright, as bright as day.

Zhao Laosi sat in the master's position, he looked at Chen Yaochuan on his right, this was the first time he met Chen Yaochuan, this Chen Yaochuan turned out to be a middle-level general in Qin Fenglu, at the end of last year, when Zhao Laoda was not sick, he had just been promoted to the capital of the forbidden army in front of the palace.

Chen Yaochuan looked like a tiger. With round shoulders and thick legs, he is a fierce general. He was worried about Boss Zhao's current situation, although he was a senior general of the forbidden army in front of the palace, but he hadn't seen Boss Zhao for several days, and what made him even more anxious was that he couldn't enter some of the core parts of the forbidden palace, and he couldn't find out the current situation of Boss Zhao.

Tonight, Shi Chong told him that Zhao Laosi was going to invite him to Qiwang's Mansion for a small gathering, although Chen Yaochuan was very suspicious in his heart. But he thought that since Zhao Laosi was the emperor's younger brother, it was very likely that he knew the current situation of Zhao Laosi, so he happily went to the meeting.

The hall was empty, and it was a somewhat deserted night feast.

A large paulownia table. There are only Zhao Laosi and one or two people next to him, Zhao Laosi's life and death are uncertain, Zhao Laosi knows that arranging a singer to accompany him at this time will cause Chen Yaochuan and other forbidden army soldiers to be disgusted.

Chen Yaochuan drank a few glasses of stuffy wine, and he wanted to open his mouth to ask Zhao Laosi. But Zhao Laosi often said "drink, drink" to block him back.

Shi Chong sat there and feasted on it, and said to Chen Yaochuan: "Your Highness has long heard of the general's name. I've always wanted to get to know the general, and today he heard that the general will come, but he's happy! ”

Chen Yaochuan snorted coldly and didn't say anything, in his heart, it was inappropriate for a prince to see two generals of the forbidden army in front of the palace in private, it was easy to cause discussion among courtiers, if he didn't worry about Boss Zhao's current situation, he really didn't want to participate in such a party.

"General Chen!"

Zhao Laosi raised the glass of wine, and he said to Chen Yaochuan: "Although you and I are acquainted for the first time, this king has a feeling of familiarity at first sight, come, come, you and I can drink three cups." ”

After speaking, Zhao Laosi personally filled the empty glass in front of Chen Yaochuan, and then picked up the wine glass and handed it to Chen Yaochuan.

Chen Yaochuan didn't expect Zhao Laosi to be so enthusiastic, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick it up, and said in his mouth: "I can't help it, I can't help it, how can I let His Highness pour wine for the last general." ”

Chen Yaochuan's fingers had already grabbed the wine glass, he was holding the wine glass and was about to send it to his mouth, who knew that Zhao Laosi's two fingers were still buckled on the wine glass, and when he handed it over, the wine glass poured into Zhao Laosi, and the full wine in it came out and spilled on Zhao Laosi's shirt.

Shi Chong on the side saw it, and he was dissatisfied, and he said, "General Chen, be careful, don't stain this gorgeous dress of His Highness." ”

Zhao Laosi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

After speaking, he took out a silk silk and wiped the wine on his body.

At this time, Chen Yaochuan may have found that Zhao Laosi was still easy to get along with, and he finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness is a sibling of the official family, but you know what the current situation of the official family is, the last general has not seen him for more than ten days, and he is really anxious." ”

Zhao Laosi saw that Chen Yaochuan had finally entered the orbit he had originally set, he took back the silk, raised his head and looked at Chen Yaochuan, shook his head with a stern expression, and never spoke.

Chen Yaochuan was a little anxious, he put down the half cup of wine in his hand, and asked, "Could it be that the rumors outside are true, and the official family is really poisoned." ”

Zhao Laosi sighed and choked up: "Yes, it's true, the current situation of the official family is very bad!" ”

Chen Yaochuan sat there in a daze, he lowered his head, looked at the cup in front of him, this tough guy's eyes were foggy, he has been Zhao Boss's personal bodyguard since he came to Bianjing, more than ten days ago, Zhao Boss also told him that his physical condition is getting better and better, and he wants to take him to Jinmingchi to play, but he didn't expect that Zhao Boss couldn't afford to be poisoned after that.

"Damn Li Kang!" Chen Yaochuan gritted his teeth and said.

Zhao Laosi was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Yaochuan cursing Li Kang, he knew that Kozlo used music to control Chen Meiren to poison, and he didn't mean to frame Li Kang, I don't know why there are rumors inside and outside the capital that Li Dare poisoned Zhao Boss.

However, this is not a bad thing for Zhao Laosi himself, and Zhao Laosi should also reconcile: "It's really a wolf's ambition, he is so vicious, I knew that I should have killed him with a knife in the first place." ”

Shi Chong on the left of Zhao Laosi is a powerful character, he listened to Zhao Laosi's words, and thought to himself: "If it is really Li Dare who poisoned, how could he go to such great lengths to save the official family in front of him, it is rumored that Li Dare is angry with the official family for the matter of the eldest princess, I think most of these rumors are not true, if Li Dare wants to marry the eldest princess, why did he ask the official family for marriage that day, and marry two women as equal wives, I am afraid that this matter will never be as simple as rumored."
