The queen was a little worried.

"Daddy, Taiwei Gao and Lin Chengyong have never dealt with each other, we should be careful now that Lin Chengyong and Prince Dongping join forces!"

Sikong Man snorted.

"Prince Dongping, my father probed him, this person is timid, he will never dare to wade into troubled waters easily, I am worried that the surname Gao and the surname Lin secretly colluded, fortunately, the old guy went with his relatives!"

"Yes, so you must hurry up, now Lin Chengyong and Prince Dongping are not afraid of joining hands with their father, once the surname Gao comes back, the situation will be difficult to control!"

Now the forbidden army of Gale City is divided into three, the first is Sikong Man's forbidden army guards, the second is Gao Taiwei's forbidden army infantry, and the third is Lin Chengyong's forbidden army cavalry, the cavalry is the strongest, but the number is the least, in addition, Sikong Man also controls the Imperial City Division, and Gao Taiwei controls Dali Temple.

"Dad, you don't have to worry too much, my father-in-law is dead, and my daughter has arranged for Zhao Huawen to take the holy decree to Bingzhou to take back the power of the military talisman and crown him as the general of the town!"

"What, such a big matter, you, why don't you discuss it with your father, before my father came, he was going to let Xing Jiang, the head of the forbidden army, go to the state, and I entered the palace now, just to get the holy decree!"

Sikong Man almost jumped.

The queen was also a little flustered.

"Manager Xing has not entered the palace because he has been unwell recently, and his daughter suddenly received a message from the flying pigeon last night, and General Zhao happened to be on duty, so he asked him to leave overnight to rush to the state, and his daughter was about to tell you about it today."

Originally, the time of the accident between Gonggong Tong and Zhaoju was not distinguished, but the officials of the state did not dare to report it, and for the first time, they only reported that Zhaoju and Gao Taiwei had lost contact, and it was not until yesterday that a message was sent to confirm that the marshal was dead.

"Zhao Huawen is in charge of the imperial front, how can he be qualified to be the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the state?"

"My daughter has named him the general of Zhenguo, and the will given to him is to take back the talisman and lead 10,000 cavalry back to Beijing as soon as possible, and then Gale City will be in our hands, even if Captain Gao comes back, the three of them will be useless together!"

Sikong Man pondered for a moment and said: "Daughter, you are a risky move, such a life-threatening matter, give Zhao Huawen an outsider, is it reliable, in case Zhao Huawen is Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he entered Beijing, what do you use to control him?" ”

The queen was stunned.

"Dad, the Zhao family has also been an official for generations, his father retired from the Privy Council, this person is clever, and he has been looking for opportunities to show allegiance to me, when I asked yesterday, he immediately swore a poisonous oath that he would never betray the Sikong family."

"No, you must hold his handle, Dad will wait for him to go out, he will order someone to monitor the Zhao Mansion, and he must not let his family take a step out of Gale City, once this person enters the city, it will not be that he will obey your command, but that we must all listen to his command, so his chess piece can only play a deterrent role!"

"Yes, Daddy, or are you thoughtful!"

"Also, if Zhao Huawen really brings the army back and lets him stay thirty miles away from the city, he must not be allowed to bring the army into the city, as long as General Zhao is obedient, Lin Chengyong and Prince Dongping can be deterred!"

Zhao Zhen listened to what they said completely something that he couldn't see, and couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, the queen and Sikong Man had already laid out, but others couldn't reach such a height at all, and the harem concubines fought to the death, in fact, there was only one way to compete for favor, and it was difficult to succeed without the support of external forces.

Next, Sikong Man and the Empress talked about some details.

Xuan Ling pulled Zhao Zhen out of the ventilation pipe and said in a low voice: "The queen will not attack you for the time being, I guess she will ask you why you came to see your father, what do you say?" ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it.

"Erchen will never say that he is here to deliver the antidote."

"And what do you say?"

"The sons miss each other and want to see their father, that's all."

"No, this doesn't make sense, if you don't have a suitable reason, the woman won't believe it!"

"If you don't believe it, don't believe it, anyway, she plans to scrap it when she helps me up."

Xuan Ling looked at Zhao Zhen and asked, "The queen said that you went to see Jing Guiyi and Concubine Hui yesterday, why did you save Concubine Duan?" ”

"Because what Erchen can really believe in the palace, except for the mother, there is only Concubine Duan, and it is Concubine Duanfei who pulls the thread for Erchen and Mother, otherwise we don't know when we will be able to meet."

At that moment, Zhao Zhen entrusted himself to Concubine Duan, and he said that he and his mother met for the first time.

"Okay, I tell you, the queen is not easy to deceive, you might as well tell her the truth, Concubine Duan has helped you, you have been grateful to her, and you want to find someone to bring her something to eat, and you want to see me, you are entrusted by Concubine Yuan, and Concubine Yuan wants to know my condition!"

Zhao Zhen was stunned.

"What did I have to do with Concubine Yuan, and she didn't tell me, how could I frame her for nothing?"

"In the palace, Concubine Yuan is the most incomprehensible concubine I can't see, every time something happens, she can stay out of it, and the queen is also very jealous of her, now you muddy the water, the queen will not confront Concubine Yuan, she will only step up her precautions and act secretly, so that you can deal with the past temporarily!"

Zhao Zhen felt that his father didn't seem to like Concubine Yuan, because of this, his father was also hot and cold to King Qi, not as close to the crown prince.

In fact, Xuan Ling didn't like King Qi a little, because he felt that Zhao Shu didn't look like him.

Zhao Zhen didn't know this, he couldn't help but ask: "This, isn't this harming Concubine Yuan?" ”

"The queen was going to attack her, early and late, and I have no choice but to lose the car to protect the handsome, and sacrifice the concubine first to buy time."

"Then if the queen asks her son, how did she get in touch with the concubine, what does the son say?"

"You kid, you're still too honest, you can't lie at a critical moment, just say it to the Queen Mother when she whispered to you."

"Yes, thank you for your father's advice, but how do you get out of the predicament?"

"Wait, wait!"

"What chance?"

Xuan Ling smiled coldly.

"Father is already sober, if he returns to Renming Palace, he will definitely find an opportunity!"

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"If the queen wants to help me ascend to the throne and use it as a puppet, what should my sons do?"

"You can only make up for it."

"Father, among the ministers, who can the sons and daughters trust?"

Xuan Ling thought about it, leaned on Zhao Zhen's ear and whispered a name, Zhao Zhen sighed, and was about to ask again if there was a way to rescue Concubine Duan, when footsteps sounded on his head.

"It's not good, the queen's people are here, I want to lie back on the bed, you must be careful not to show flaws."

"Yes, thank you, Father!"

Xuan Ling said tremblingly and crawled to the bed and lay down, stretched out his feet, his eyes widened, and he looked demented.

With a snap, the top cover opened, and a ray of light shot down.

When Zhao Zhen was taken out of the Qingshou Palace, he saw the queen's phoenix chariot heading towards the Chunnuan Pavilion, and thought to himself: "Is the queen going to see Lord Lin and Prince Dongping, what is she going to tell them?" ”

Spring Warm Pavilion.

After a beaded curtain, the queen sat down.

Outside the curtain, the three of them stood solemnly.

These three people are Prime Minister Sikong Man, Privy Deputy Envoy Lin Chengyong and Prince Zhao Dongping.

Since Lin Zhaoyi's accident, Lin Chengyong has lived in a simple house, and he doesn't seem to care about the government as before.

"I don't know if the queen has summoned me to wait, what is the important matter to discuss?"

At this time, Sikong Man stepped forward and bowed, and Lin Chengyong and Prince Dongping also saluted together.

"Well, this palace has summoned you three ministers to come, and there is indeed something important to discuss."

"Oh, I don't know what the mother wants to discuss?"

"Recently, the palace has heard some rumors outside, it is Guan Lichu's matter, have the three adults heard of it?"

Sikong Man did not speak.

Lin Chengyong saw that Sikong was silent, so he had to speak: "Niangniang, the rumors outside are insignificant, but the minister is talking about it. ”

"Well, what are the ministers talking about?"

Lin Chengyong stepped forward and saluted again.

"Niangniang, everyone says that the family can't be without an owner for a day, and the country can't be without a king for a day, and now Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and he can't manage the government, someone must come out to preside over the overall situation."

"Yes, this palace summoned the three of you today to discuss this matter!"

Lin Chengyong smiled.

"Niangniang has the world in her heart, which is really a blessing for Dawei and a blessing for the common people."

"Lord Lin praised it falsely, you say, who will preside over the overall situation?"
