Chapter 263: Return to the capital
There was a lot of talk about it, thinking that this method seemed to be feasible as well.
"The emperor is young, and the mourning family is old, so he is naturally powerless to deal with the affairs of the court. If you manage the government with Taiwei Li, the mourning family can also rest assured. ”
"But......" Zao Wou-Ki wanted to say something more, but this Bai Su was a little angry and said:
"Lord Zhao, whether I am the emperor or you are the emperor. I made you prime minister, aren't you happy? ”
When Zao Wou-Ki heard this, he had no choice but to smile and say, "The emperor is wrong to blame the old minister, and the old minister is really frightened, so this is why he is like this." ”
That Bai Su naturally didn't want to listen to his explanation, so he said: "Okay, okay, this matter is settled, everyone go back." ”
Zao Wou-Ki was naturally very displeased, it seemed that he had become the prime minister, and his status was higher than before, but in fact, his power was divided by half. I thought that Zhuo Siyi's woman was just a slightly scheming woman, but I never expected that I could let myself be negligent and fall for her.
Li Taiqing also understood that the Queen Mother did this because she was worried that Zhao Wouji's power was too great and would threaten the throne, and she was just a pawn used to contain Zhao Wouji.
Zao Wou-Ki is not a good person, he is already very unaccustomed to his style, originally this Zao Wou-Ki still intended to pull himself into his command, but now he has become his sworn enemy. In the future, life in the palace is afraid that it will be uncomfortable. For now, I have to wait for when Wei Chi Jin will appear, and then I will discuss with him again.
After Zhuo Yu and his party arrived outside the city gate, everyone decided to disperse in order to hide people's eyes. Lian Cheng naturally had to follow them to Yu Chi Jin's mansion.
After the group arrived at the mansion, the secret guard reported: "Your Highness, you can be regarded as back, the palace has changed." ”
"What? Who is the current emperor? Zhuo Yu hurriedly asked.
The secret guard said: "It's the widow of the Bai family, Bai Su." ”
When the four of them heard the news, they were all shocked. Especially for Mo Yu, before leaving, it was just Situ Yu who was imprisoned, but it had only been a little more than a day, and the emperor's position had already been occupied.
Wei Chi Jin thought that the strength of the army under his command was so strong, the Queen Mother and they would actually skip themselves and directly set up Bai Su as the emperor, it seems that in the days when they were away, the Queen Mother's actions were not small.
"I didn't expect her to succeed." Lian Cheng said on the side.
"Your Highness, do you want to send someone to fence off the palace?" Mo Yu asked on the side, this emperor has only just ascended the throne for a few days, and his age is not very old, if he takes the opportunity to force the palace, he will naturally not succeed.
"No." Yu Chi Jin shook his head.
"Why not, when is this happening?" Lian Cheng said anxiously on the side, if Zhuo Siyi starts to manage the government, it will definitely cause a bloody storm.
"Because now, Situ Ji is still in their hands." Zhuo Yu said on the side.
"Is it because he is alone that the whole world is put in it?" Lian Cheng asked rhetorically.
"That's not all." Yu Chi Jin suddenly spoke.
"The Queen Mother, they know that the vast majority of the military power is in my hands, but they will still do this, I suspect that they have prepared in advance."
"What does Your Highness mean?" Mo Yu asked on the side.
"The Queen Mother already has a group of soldiers in her hands, plus those that Zhuo Siyi has recruited by herself over the years, although it is a small amount compared to the team in my hands, but what if I rely on the strength of others?"
"You mean the Queen?" Lian Cheng asked.
"Yes, although Jin Su is helpless in Zhao State and has no mother to help, she is also the queen of Wu State. If she thought about taking the opportunity to annex this Wu Kingdom with King Zhao, it would not be a difficult thing to take advantage of my absence. ”
"But you're back now......" Zhuo Yu said.
"Although the combined forces of them are still weaker than mine, if they really want to fight, the forces of the two sides are still indistinguishable, and Situ Ji is still in their hands at this time, so they dare to conclude that we will not act rashly."
"Is that all we have to do is be so indifferent?" Zhuo Yu said on the side.
Yu Chi Jin didn't speak, and he didn't know what to do for the time being.
"But what is certain right now is that since Zhuo Siyi has used Situ Ji as his bargaining chip, he will definitely not ask for his life, and he is still safe for the time being." Zhuo Yu said on the side.
Mo Yu nodded approvingly on the side, but Lian Cheng couldn't sit still, and said, "Speaking of which, don't you still know what to do?" ”
"Now we can only wait and see, and we don't know where Situ Ji is at the moment, first think of rescuing him, and then talk about anything else." Zhuo Yu said.
Wei Chi Jin sent another secret guard and explained that they were going to find the place where Situ Ji was being held.
At this time in the palace, Zhuo Siyi also got the news that this Wei Chi Jin had appeared and had just returned to the house.
"Queen Mother, Yu Chi Jin is back." Zhuo Siyi said.
"It's just time for him to come back." The Queen Mother said while pruning the flower branches on the side.
"Also, now the entire court is the Queen Mother, if this Wei Chi Jin wants to do something, he has to think twice."
"But how did you convince the Empress to help us?" The Queen Mother asked.
"It's not that the queen doesn't know the queen's thoughts about Yu Chi Jin, it seems that she is helping us, but in fact, she is just for herself, I guess she wants to use the power of the army to suppress Yu Chi Jin, so that Yu Chi Jin may look at her differently." Zhuo Siyi said.
"You still have a mind, otherwise, I'm afraid we won't succeed this time."
"Everything is the credit of the queen mother, and the sons are just running more errands on the side."
Zhuo Siyi thought that this Jin Su was really simple, and she really believed in her own methods, and felt that Yu Chi Jin would look down on her because of her great power, and sure enough, she had a low status since she was a child, and she always felt that everything was the reason for her low status, and it was precisely because she knew her weakness that she was able to persuade her.
"It's not too early, tomorrow that Wei Chi Jin will go to the morning court, and you should go back and rest early." The Queen Mother said.
"The queen mother, the ministers will retreat first." Zhuo Siyi said.
"However, I don't know how that lieutenant Chi Jin Ming will react." The Queen Mother was a little worried.
"Don't worry, the queen mother, Yu Chijin will never dare to act rashly, don't forget that there is still Situ Ji in our hands." Zhuo Siyi said.
