As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, the mother who was holding the Queen Mother worked hard, and suddenly the Queen Mother screamed in pain, and she couldn't care about the Queen Mother's dignity, so she cried out to Wang Chong for help: "Ah~ It hurts!" Brother save me! Brother save me! ”

That spineless miserable appearance, Wang Chong simply didn't see it.

He knew that his sister had always been like this, to put it nicely, it was obedient and gentle, and to put it badly, it was weak and cowardly, and it was also because she swore that she knew Ci'an Palace and the Empress Dowager very well, and it was indeed inconvenient for him to meddle in the affairs of the inner palace everywhere, so he reluctantly trusted her.

Who knew that a single thought would bring disaster to the Wang family.

Wang Chong knew that the Wang family was gone, but he was unwilling to give up like this and bow down to the Zhao family from then on. After years of immersion in officialdom, he quickly made up his mind after hesitating for a moment.

——Since it has become inevitable to submit to the Zhao family, then take advantage of the fact that there is still a trace of initiative at the moment, and hurry up to fight for a little more benefits for the Wang family.

"Heh, the current situation is over, if the Wang family is willing to follow, is it possible that the Empress Dowager and the Zhao family can abandon their previous suspicions and accept them sincerely?" Wang Chong did not lose the battle, and he was not weak because of the Queen Mother's plea for help, and asked in a cold voice, "The Wang family abandoned everything and followed the Zhao family before, and I didn't see that the Zhao family had much trust and reuse of the Wang family, but tried their best to exclude the people of the Wang family from participating in the confidential affairs.

"If not, how could the Wang family take such a big risk and put the Empress Dowager under house arrest?"

Although Wang Chong's words are not nonsense, but they are always strong words, and now that the Zhao family has gradually gained the upper hand, whether it is the Empress Dowager or Zhao Zhongfu, they will not easily allow Wang Chong to fool the past.

"In this way, it is my Zhao family's fault." Zhao Zhongfu retreated to the Empress Dowager with a knife, laughed angrily, and asked, "I only ask you, if the Zhao family doesn't trust your Wang family, then how could they agree to hand over the security responsibility of Ci'an Palace to your Wang family?" ”

The Empress Dowager warned Wang Chong that the Wang family without the Empress Dowager could only be regarded as a chaotic minister and thief, so what about the Zhao family that had lost the Empress Dowager?

Zhao and Wang both want to be dominant, and they can't trust each other at all because they just want to win over and use each other. Even if the current situation does not allow them to continue to fight and consume themselves, it will still be difficult for one of them to submit to the other for the time being.

Wang Chongyan sneered when he heard this, he didn't appreciate it, and directly pierced it: "Look at what Lord Zhao means, he wants my Wang family to 'make credit for crimes'." That being the case, then why don't our Wang family break the kettle and do the big thing! ”

"What's big?" Zhao Zhongfu's expression was stunned when he heard this, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was a little harder.

Wang Chong sneered, stood up, and said with righteousness: "Our Wang family has been an official for generations, and we are loyal to the master, how can we be willing to rebel?" This feigned agreement to cling to the Zhao family, but it was just an expedient measure, wanting to wait for an opportunity to share the worries of the Holy Lord's rebellion?

"Otherwise, why would my Wang family want to put the Empress Dowager under house arrest and treat Mrs. Qinghe County with courtesy?"

The Empress Dowager and Zhao Zhongfu were stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood that the Wang family was planning to step on the Zhao family in a vain attempt to ascend to the sky in one step!

What a guts!

"Okay, you Wang Chong, you are worthy of being a foreign envoy, this ability to see the wind and rudder and reverse black and white is really perfect!" Zhao Zhongfu jumped to his feet in anger, glared angrily, and pointed at Wang Chong, who was firmly protected by the guards, and couldn't wait to go up directly and cut him to pieces.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager knew that the life and death of the Empress Dowager could not threaten Wang Chong at all, or the ambition of the Wang family, so she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, changed her expression, and reprimanded bitterly: "Confused!

"The Wang family has been an official eunuch for generations, and Lord Wang has now achieved a book, how can he not even see the current situation clearly?"

is heartbroken, hating iron but not steel, as if Wang Chong is not her enemy under house arrest, but her own son and nephew who is deeply trusted and relied on.

"We Mingren don't say secret words, the Zhao and Wang families are here for the interests of power, so this time they will be used by people with intentions to discord and make us fight and consume." The Empress Dowager said bitterly, "As the so-called 'snipe and clam fight, fishermen profit', Zhao and Wang are opposed, whose handiwork is this, can't Lord Wang see it?" ”

After that, in order to show her sincerity, the Queen Mother motioned to the Queen Mother's grandmother to let her go.

As soon as the queen mother regained her freedom, she immediately hid behind Wang Chong, hung her head and shrank back, and the whole person almost curled up into a shrimp, wishing that she could not hide completely behind Wang Chong, so as not to show a corner of her clothes to be noticed by others.

Wang Chong looked at his timid sister, and then looked at the empress dowager, who was upright and graceful, and couldn't help vomiting blood in his heart.

are also people who have been queen mothers, why is the difference so big?!

He is confident that he is much better than his peers in the Zhao family, but he doesn't have a sister who is as calm and capable of things as the Empress Dowager!

With a secret hatred in his heart, Wang Chong calmed down from his disappointment and disappointment for his sister-in-law.

Don't look at the Empress Dowager's words, but to put it bluntly, it is not the same as Zhao Zhongfu, not only is he unwilling to give away a little of the interests of the Zhao family, but he wants to take advantage of this matter to let the Wang family take another step back and truly become a vassal of her Empress Dowager and the Zhao family.

As the de facto patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Chong would never allow such a calamity to happen!

"In that case, then I don't have much more to say." Wang Chong took a step forward, drew his sword forward, and said in a cold voice, "Just fight with all your strength and see who will kill the deer!" ”

The Empress Dowager and Zhao Zhongfu's sisters and brothers did not expect Wang Chong to be so decisive, and they were both stunned.

There is a saying that "barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes", seeing Wang Chong's desperate posture, the Empress Dowager and Zhao Zhongfu, who were originally firm and angry, couldn't help but hesitate.

The Wang family was forced into a desperate situation, and they could fight hard regardless of life and death, but at the moment, the Zhao family, which seemed to be a sure winner, could not help but take every step of the way, and they could not make a mistake by half a step.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and the Empress Dowager and Zhao Zhongfu had no choice but to give in first, and said: "The relatives are painful, the enemies are fast, such a thing, Lord Wanwang thinks twice." If the Wang family really has the sincerity to cooperate, then we might as well take a break from the war and calm down and have a good talk. ”

As soon as Wang Chong saw that he had a way to do what he was planning, he also put away the posture of "you live and die", and put away his knife and responded: "My Wang family never makes trouble for themselves. ”

But not afraid of trouble.

The Empress Dowager and Zhao Zhongfu understood Wang Chong's subtext, and couldn't help but have a headache, but they had to respond sincerely: "Of course." My Zhao family doesn't want to ask for trouble. ”

Neither soft nor hard shot back.
