Chapter 191, the fourth child's poisonous plan
Gao Taotao sat on the chair and accepted the greetings of Zhao Lao Er and Si Lao, she saw that the two of them had finished fighting, so she said lightly: "Hao'er, Hao'er, you can go back if there is nothing else, the mourning family is tired these days and wants to take a rest." ”
At this time, Gao Tao cheered up and looked majestic, just like the distressed mother who hugged Zhao Ying and cried just now.
"Queen Mother, we just met Ying'er, and now we want to meet the royal brother."
Zhao Lao Er said as he observed his mother's face.
To Zhao Laoer's disappointment, there were almost no emotional fluctuations on Gao Tao's face, and she still said lightly: "The official dragon is not in good health, so it is not appropriate to disturb, you better go back?" ”
Zhao Laosi pondered for a moment, stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, the child brought some Cordyceps from the Western Regions, wanting to make up for the imperial brother's body, and asked the queen mother to let the child see the imperial brother's body to see if he is suitable for supplementation." ”
Gao Tao shook her head, she glanced at the brocade box in Zhao Laosi's hand, and said, "Zhao Hao, you put down the brocade box and you can go." ”
Zhao Laosi was shocked when he heard this, he remembered that Gao Taotao would never call his name directly, and he thought, could it be that Gao Taotao saw something.
Zhao Laosi's face was calm, but his heart was a little empty, because the person who instructed Zhao Laosi to poison Zhao Laosi behind the scenes was none other than himself.
It turned out that Zhao Boss wantonly hunted and killed the Xixia people, but ignited the hatred of the Tangut people, and the Tangut people knew that as long as Zhao Boss existed for a day, they would have no possibility of peace talks with the Song State.
At present, the Western Xia knew that after a series of decisive battles, the national strength was declining, and it was urgent to suspend the war and recuperate, so the Western Xia people still decided to take the risk of letting people go to Bianjing to see if there was a chance to assassinate Boss Zhao.
This time the Tanguts sent someone else. It is Helian Yunjia's master Kozlo, this Kozlo was originally a black-clothed cannibal, after arriving in the Western Xia Kingdom more than ten years ago, he was introduced as a guest, and later he was named a national teacher by the king of the Western Xia because of his meritorious work in cultivating fine work.
Kozlo's most proud apprentice is Helian Yunjia, this Kozlo also likes to bring female disciples to warm the quilt when teaching his disciples kung fu and skills, and Helian Yunjia has always been Kozlo's favorite female disciple.
Kozlo had heard that his female disciple had been captured by the Song people, and he had already traveled to Bianjing overnight to rescue Helian Yunjia, but he didn't expect to get the news that Helian Yunjia was dead halfway through. In his grief, he received a new order from the king of Western Xia, that is, to infiltrate Bianjing and assassinate Boss Zhao.
After Kozlo arrived in Bianjing, he quickly got on line with Zhao Laosi, and learned about the martyrdom of his two apprentices and everything that happened in Bianjing City a few days ago. Kozlo hated Li Dang to the core, but Li Dang had already gone east at this time, and Kozlo only had to sigh.
After Zhao Laosi had been frustrated in his plot to appoint Zhao Lao Er as the prince, he had already decided to keep his eyes on it, and Kozlo's arrival ignited the hope in his heart. The two conspired together and decided to use Chen Meiren, who was next to Boss Zhao, to carry out a plan to poison Boss Zhao.
Zhao Laosi handed over the brocade box to the eunuch beside him, and he was inevitably a little surprised when he saw Gao Taotao's face unshocked. He pondered: "Then Kozlo swore that the boss would die of poison a few days ago, why didn't the queen mother see any obvious sadness on her face, could it be that the boss really hasn't returned to the west yet." ”
Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Lao Si left Qingren Palace a little helplessly, they wanted to go to Zhao Ying to find out the news.
But Zhao Ying did not come out to see Zhao Laosi and Zhao Laoer. She asked the palace maid to tell Zhao Laosi and the others that she needed to rest because of her tiring journey. It is inconvenient to see each other today, so I will make a special trip to visit the house of the two royal brothers another day.
Zhao Ying's avoidance made Zhao Lao Er guess about Zhao Lao Si's situation again, he stared at Zhao Lao Si, and said softly: "Could it be that the eldest princess of Yue Guo knows some secrets that we don't know, so she doesn't want to come to see us." ”
Zhao Laosi looked back at the Shuyu Pavilion where Zhao Ying lived, and shook his head: "The eldest princess of Yue has just arrived in Bianjing, she doesn't necessarily know anything, maybe she is really tired, this sweetheart is hunting down and killing her all over the world, can she not be tired?" ”
Zhao Lao Er had a different opinion, he said: "Just because everyone in the world is chasing and killing her sweetheart, she should want us to complain, and let us help her intercede." ”
Zhao Laosi smiled: "Let's help her intercede, this is so possible, she is not sure whether Li Dare poisoned the imperial brother now, and how she will intercede." ”
Zhao Lao Er suddenly stretched out his hand, patted the fourth brother's shoulder, and said, "Fourth, you tell the truth to Brother Wang, is the poison on the royal brother's body from you." ”
Zhao Laosi looked behind Zhao Laosi, he saw several Royal Forest Army soldiers looking this way, he smiled mysteriously, and pointed behind Zhao Laoer but was silent.
Zhao Lao Er also saw those royal forest soldiers when he turned around, and he knew that there were many high-pitched ears and eyes in this palace, so he was silent.
Zhao Laosi looked at the second child's suspicious look and was a little dissatisfied with the way he concealed things from him, he was secretly amused in his heart, he thought: "Poisoned, this king is good at poisoning, this king not only poisoned the boss, but also poisoned you, but you don't know it now, that day, when you know that I poisoned, I'm afraid that you have already died." ”
Zhao Laosi gave the second child a chronic poison. medicine, if the dose is not increased, Zhao Lao Er will not be able to die within two or three years. Zhao Laosi knew that if he wanted to really change from Zhao Hao to the king of Zhao Song, he must now rely on Zhao Laoer, as long as Zhao Laoer was made the emperor for two years, and then he would be violent. died of illness, and the next emperor's throne was his own, because Zhao Lao'er's children were even younger than Zhao Xu.
Let Zhao Lao Er make wedding clothes for himself, this is exactly the fourth child's poisonous plan.
Since he couldn't see Zhao Ying, Zhao Laosi decided to return to the palace immediately, and he wanted to discuss with Kozlo about competing for the throne.
In Zhao Laosi's view, those civil officials in the court are all grass on the wall, he clearly remembers the right prime minister at that time, and the current left prime minister Cai is indeed such a representative, Zhao Xu was not the prince that day, and Cai did support the establishment of Zhao Lao Er as the prince. Jun, but later when Boss Zhao woke up, he changed his mind and wanted to make Zhao Xu the crown prince.
Zhao Laosi secretly clenched his five fingers, he knew that civil officials were not reliable, as long as whoever had a strong fist, the civil officials would listen to whomever they wanted, so if he wanted to help Zhao Laosi succeed in ascending the throne, the key was to rely on force.
For this reason, Boss Zhao has secretly befriended several generals of the forbidden army, and now the most important thing is to continue to expand the results of the battle, and take down the two supreme commanders of the Imperial Forest Army, that is, the forbidden army in front of the palace, as soon as possible, and obtain their support.
