In the winter of the first year of Jianlong, the Great Song Dynasty was safe and sound.

Xu Yongzhi took everyone to hold a small funeral for Huo Yizun, Tian Dabang and Huo Xiang also came, and Huo Yizun's remains were decorated like a wizard and buried deep in a feng shui treasure outside Tokyo.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, people were not accustomed to being like many rural villages today, dressed in white funerals, invited to sing, and ate for three days - they had just experienced five generations of funeral, and people were no strangers to death, nor were they particularly solemn, and began to spend money on the deceased, which was the style after gradually becoming peaceful.

Wizards have a kind of mournful avoidance of death, unlike amateurs, and if a wizard does not live to be seventy years old and dies, everyone thinks that he dies early and will avoid him from afar, and no one will attend the funeral of the deceased early except relatives and friends.

But the people of Shanzido are different, they have long been free from the superstition of ordinary people about death, and they will not have an extreme panic about the arrival of the limit like a wizard.

As Huo Yizun's daughter, Ah Crisp thanked everyone, there was not so much crying and wiping tears, there were not so many howling and sobbing, everyone knew who the enemy was, and everyone also knew who to go to settle this account.

After the burial of Huo Yizun, Tian Dabang, Huo Xiang and Tian Kokou went home, and Koko usually still lives at home in Yuzhou, and comes when something happens.

Xiaogui also went back to Jinling City first, and it was time to go back to Li Yu to get back to his life, he has been running outside for the past few months.

After sending off the people who were leaving, Xu Yongzhi called Duan Meimei, Master Zhang Huan, Xu Taishi, Li Sigui and Chen Xiaohuan together.

The new home has not yet been built, and it is still the house of the Yamajido.

Mercy set up the charcoal fire in the living room, and silently withdrew herself, closing the door.

"The Queen Mother's health is not very good." Xu Yongzhi got straight to the point.

"What disease?" Li Sigui immediately understood that this was a big deal.

"Quench your thirst." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Drink plenty of hot water!" Zhang Daochang looked puzzled.

This person is proficient in swordsmanship, but in terms of medicine, he is far worse than the people in Shanzitang.

"It's not a good treat." Xu Taishi said.

"I'm so sick that I'm hungry, but I can't starve my body, it's really hard to recuperate." Duan Meimei said.

"This disease is sweet and fatty, and you have to eat coarse grains, but in the inner courtyard of the palace, the old lady is a person who loves food, so it's not easy to talk about." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I'll go!" Duan Meimei said.

"How do you curse?" Xu Yongzhi said.

"No, I said I'll accompany you in the palace." Duan Meimei said.

"Accompanying?" Xu Yongzhi was taken aback.

"You hope that the old league girl can recover, right?" Duan Meimei said.

"Yes, the old lady must live a long life." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Okay, I'll cook for her, she likes me, let her eat with me, and her body can be well." Duan Meimei said.

What Xu Yongzhi was still worried about just now was actually solved by Duan Meimei, and put Duan Meimei next to the old queen mother, the old queen mother is safer, and she will be safer.

"Then you husband and wife don't see each other......" Xu Taishi was also quite hesitant and brought up this matter.

"It is enough for the old lady to form good eating habits for a year." Duan Meimei said.

"Why do we have to be healthy? Is this old lady's body really so heavy? Chen Xiaohuan said a little puzzled.

"Very important."

Xu Yongzhi nodded, he knew that Chen Xiaohuan was not so familiar with the affairs of the palace and the Zhao family, and now that Huo Yizun was gone, Tian Kokou was not always in Tokyo, and many things had to be discussed with this junior sister.

"The eldest brother is the emperor, but he is not born to be an emperor, he is first a filial son, a brother, and then a general and an emperor, if the old queen mother is willful and wants to coerce and persecute the eldest brother, the eldest brother will also be very troublesome."

"Lao Mengniang wants King Jin to be the emperor's younger brother and be the prince of this country, which will make the eldest brother very embarrassed, and it will also make the court fall into division, and in the end, either the official family will sanction the King of Jin, or the King of Jin will act against the official family, and the world will fall into chaos."

"My plan for my eldest brother is to send His Royal Highness the eldest prince Dezhao to the old queen mother, every day after school, let the child go to grandma to do homework, grandma is willing to point fingers at her son, in fact, the main thing is loneliness, I feel that I am old, talking doesn't count, send my grandson over to her to manage, she can feel better." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What a clever trick," said Li Sigui, "the king of Jin can please the old lady because he has been at home in his youth, and he has been with the old lady, and the old lady loves him a little more, so she wants him to be an emperor too, but if the old lady has a deeper affection for her grandson......"

"Understood," Chen Xiaohuan nodded, "Senior brother is thoughtful. ”

"This man is very gentle, you see him, he will never do things that separate other people's flesh and blood, and it is this kind of sweet routine to shoot." Duan Meimei's mouth was disgusted, but in fact, her tone was full of pride.

"That's right, if it were me, I would definitely say it to the emperor, your brother will oppose you and send him to Cangzhou......" Zhang Huan said.

"Master is also compassionate, many real conspirators will directly ask for the life of King Jin, King Jin can live to this day, thanks to a good brother like Buddha." Xu Yongzhi said.

That's right, killing Zhao Guangyi is actually Zhao Pu and Zhao Zeping's suggestion.

Zhao Kuangyin received a letter from Duan Meimei through Xu Yongzhi before, so he invited Zhao Pu to talk secretly.

Zhao Pu's words were very simple: take advantage of the fact that King Jin's wings are not full, just kill him.

Killing a brother will not make you an emperor Huai, don't believe it, look at Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

As soon as this suggestion was mentioned, Zhao Kuangyin shook his head like a rattle.

"Don't say such things again, Zeping, I treat you as a brother, and the second brother is my own brother, don't persuade me to do this kind of thing to kill my brother. Li Shimin killed his brother to protect himself, but without Li Shimin's embarrassment, he still attacked his brother with great power, that is, Qin II and Emperor Yang of Sui. ”

Don't look at Zhao Kuangyin's late reading, he is more powerful than many Confucians in this regard.

Killing the King of Jin, Zhao Pu didn't dare to mention it again.

Xu Yongzhi's strategy, Zhao Kuangyin's temper, Zhao Kuangyin felt that Xu Yongzhi was a gentleman, and the tricks he used and the suggestions he gave were all dignified, but Zhao Pu didn't think so, Zhao Pu felt that Xu Yongzhi was just to please Zhao Kuangyin, cherish his feathers, and not want to dirty his hands, a minister should be like Zhao Pu, dare to say the most terrible words, for the emperor to choose.

"If the old queen mother can live healthily for ten years, Dezhao will be older, and at that time, there will be adults to protect him, and the king of Jin will not dare to make a mistake." Li Sigui said.

"It's a bit difficult to live ten years to quench thirst." Duan Meimei was sad.

"You let the old lady often go in Sister Xuanqiao, let her go to the old lady to massage more, and let her grandfather also enter the palace to treat the queen mother, her family's medical skills are very unique, and there are still some ways." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Madam, don't worry, in fact, there are two or three years of work, and when the old queen mother and Dezhao's grandparents are close, she will plan for her grandson." Li Sigui groaned.

"I have a clue here, and I want everyone to discuss it." Duan Meimei saw that the matter of the old queen mother was decided, and began to mention the matter of the second sister-in-law.

"The second sister-in-law has been asking me about her man's whereabouts recently." Duan Meimei said.

"Which second sister-in-law?" Xu Yongyi's face was surprised.

"The daughter-in-law of your second brother of King Jin, Princess Fu." Duan Meimei said.

"It's really a headache second brother, you go on." Xu Yongzhi said.

"King Jin has not returned home a lot recently, saying that the office is too late, and he is staying in the house outside the yamen. The second sister-in-law felt that it was not credible, so she asked me if I knew anything. Duan Meimei said.

"What did you say?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"I said, I haven't been in the house, but the woman inside is only afraid that it is Li Forsythia." Duan Meimei said.

"And what did the princess say?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

The princess asked who Li Lianqiao was. Duan Meimei said.

"By the way, I'm afraid she doesn't know." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I told her about this woman's various murderous deeds, this is a wicked woman who suspects her best friend and wants to break her best friend's tendons." Duan Meimei said.

Chen Xiaohuan looked at his feet, which still hurt when it rained on a cloudy day, all because of Forsythia Li.

"You can't freak out the princess?" Xu Taishi asked.

"She's not frightened, she's also a tiger girl, but she's worried about Zhao Er and wants to catch Li Lianqiao, I said that this woman doesn't dare to be a demon in Tokyo City now, just because there is Master and Xiao Phantom in the town, if you send it to the door to fight, you will be ruined." Duan Meimei said.

"Well said." Xu Yongzhi nodded.

"She asked me what to do, and I persuaded her, King Jin is now a hot clan king, and women like Li Lianqiao will rush to stick to him, if King Jin goes, he will ......" Duan Meimei looked at Xu Yongzhi.

She wasn't sure.

"Am I talking too much?"

She was afraid that Xu Yongzhi would be angry.

"No, this trick is very good, you were called temporarily, and I am happy to hear such a clever decision." Xu Yongzhi looked at Duan Meimei.

"If you don't understand, just ask, what will happen after King Jin becomes a vassal?" Zhang Huan asked Li Sigui.

Li Sigui smiled and said nothing.

"You may not understand it if I tell you, just like I won't mention learning swordsmanship from Lao Dao." Li Sigui thought to himself.

"Master, Kaifeng Mansion Yin, has been the standard configuration of the crown prince for five generations, so the official family sealed the Kaifeng Mansion of King Jin, and some people suspect that King Jin is the default heir of the official family, but if King Jin can really go to Shanxi to be a vassal king and fight against the Northern Han and Khitan, on the one hand, it will be good for him to practice fighting with soldiers, and on the other hand, he will withdraw from the competition for the throne. If the princess reveals her desire to go to Shanxi to live with the old lady, once the old queen mother and the official family reach a consensus, King Jin will have to go. Xu Yongzhi explained.

"This is actually a way for the King of Jin to avoid trouble, and it is also a means for the princess to be able to recapture the King of Jin, and if he goes to that place, he will not be of such high value to Li Forsythia." Li Sigui said.

"In addition, I also have a selfish intention, that is, if King Jin leaves Tokyo City, I hope to ......" Duan Meimei looked at Xu Yongzhi, "I hope that you can become the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion." ”

"Stupid, that's the prince." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Adults don't need to be modest, in fact, it would be best if Kaifeng Mansion Yin could be served by a foreign surname," Li Sigui said, "and the official family will also like it." ”

"After this matter is discussed, I will talk about the matter of the Peach Blossom Spring, the conquest of the Peach Blossom Spring is estimated to be in the autumn of next year, and this year's army will go east and west, and it will cost a lot of money." Xu Yongzhi told everyone.

Indeed, with the rebellion of Li Yun and Li Chongjin being quelled by the army, all the states and counties clearly understand the power of this new court surnamed Zhao, and no one wants to challenge Tokyo Bianliang anymore, but the use of troops twice a year is the limit of Bianliang's strength, and before next winter, Zhao Kuangyin needs to make the troops repair and enrich the treasury.

"The advanced brother (Chen Model) was imprisoned in the Peach Blossom Spring, and we couldn't save him for almost a year, and now there are two channels, the first is to put pressure on the Yu family through Xiao Fan's parents and grandfather, so that they don't dare to harm him, and the second is that I asked the official family to issue a direct order to Li Yu, and asked him to order Li Forsythia to treat Chen Model preferentially, otherwise I will ask Li Yu about his crimes, and the will should be there in these two days."

"It's here, my brother has sent me a letter, saying that he has been suddenly allowed to use non-offensive spells in the past two days, and he has not been idle, he has turned the prison into a luxury inn, and is holding a banquet in it, and now all the prisoners in the prison are his little brother." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"That's good, I've always been grateful to him for coming forward, in the past few months, we have to make all preparations, but the difficulty in front of us is to attack our old queen mother, my old alliance girl."

"Leave it to me, I will take Sister Qiao and the child into the palace tomorrow to ask for peace, and I will mention to her that I will stay with her." Duan Meimei said.

"I'll pretend to be a maid and go with you." Chen Xiaohuan said.

"I can protect myself now." Duan Meimei said.

"Ahem, it's me, I want to go to the palace and see the world." Chen Xiaohuan said.

Duan Meimei looked at Chen Xiaohuan's eyes and immediately understood.

This girl is avoiding suspicion.

When Madame entered the palace, it was not good for her to live in the Xu family.

"Okay, let's go together!"
