Chapter 331: The Rise of the Prince (10)

The sudden middle-aged man pulled this seemingly calm political handover back into the turmoil.

He strode in majestically, completely looking down on all beings.

Queen Wu Yashi didn't look at him at all, she just squinted slightly.

asked Grandpa Wei, "Grandpa Wei, who is making a fuss?" ”

Queen Wu Yashi can see it clearly, but she wants to pretend not to know. The purpose is to use a contemptuous tone to attack the opponent's momentum first.

Gonggong Wei leaned over and replied: "Hui Niangniang, that's Lord Suo Zhongtang." ”

"Oh, Suo Zhongtang?" Empress Wu Yashi pretended to be surprised.

Concubine Xiao saw Suo Zhongtang suddenly running over, and unconsciously hid behind the queen.

Perhaps at this moment, only she knew best in her heart why Suo Zhongtang appeared in this place.

Suo Zhongtang still held his arrogant head high, he was much younger than Prime Minister Fang, and he was in the prime of life. He believes he has a lot to do in politics.

smiled very hypocritically, and only bowed slightly when he saw the queen.

Called: "Queen Mother." ”

Empress Wu Yashi only nodded slightly, she didn't take Suo Zhongtang in her eyes at all.

Although he knew that the comer was not good, he should not be able to set off any big waves just like Suo Zhongtang.

still has contemptuous eyes, and doesn't give Suo Zhongtang any face at all.

"Suo Zhongtang, what are you doing here?"

Suo Zhongtang clenched his fists with both hands, "Back to the queen, the old minister is here to assist His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

It's weird, who needs him to help.

Looking at Suo Zhongtang's posture, it seemed that he was determined to snatch a minister who cared for his life.

He tried to force the Empress Wu Ya to delegate power to him on the grounds that the crown prince was young and mentally demented, and was not enough to support the entire court.

In fact, Queen Wu Yashi had expected such a thing a long time ago, but she didn't expect Suo Zhongtang to be the first person to jump out.

What about the prime minister who has always liked to control the government? Why didn't you move at this time?

"Suo Zhongtang, I'm afraid you won't have to worry about this matter......"

Queen Wu Ya's voice did not fall.

A man's voice came from outside the hall.

But this time it was different, this time the man's voice was low and old, and he knew that he was a certain age when he heard it.

When Queen Wu Yashi heard it, she knew that it was Prime Minister Fang who was coming.

Speak of the devil.

It's no wonder that there is such a big event in the palace, will he be absent from the prime minister?

Sure enough, as Wu Yashi expected, Prime Minister Fang also came to seize power.

As soon as he came in, the first thing he saw was Suo Zhongtang, and then he saw the queen and Concubine Xiao.

He seems to have forgotten etiquette, or maybe he thinks that in this kind of scene, the queen and Concubine Xiao will not pursue these small problems.

So he directly crossed the step of saluting and challenged Suo Zhongtang: "Lord Zhongtang, it turns out that you are one step ahead of me." ”

Suo Zhongtang saw that it was Prime Minister Fang's old guy who came, and replied with a smile: "Haha, it seems that the news of the Prime Minister is also very fast." ”

"Where, where, it's still a step behind Suo Zhongtang."

The two of them insinuated at each other like this, and they didn't take Queen Wu Ya in their eyes at all.

"Huh." Empress Wu Yashi smiled coldly, "I see that the news of the two ministers is very fast." This palace only knew less than half a pillar of incense before you, and besides, this palace has been staying in the palace. And you are outside the palace. ”

"This ......"

Suo Zhongtang and Prime Minister Fang instantly felt embarrassed.

If you want to say that the two of them have a lot of eyeliner in the palace, I'm afraid that even the emperor knows when he farts.

But if this kind of thing comes out of the mouth of the queen, the meaning is different.

"Hmph, we're all old acquaintances. If there's something to say, don't hide it. ”

Father-in-law Wei drew a chair and asked the queen to sit down.

Concubine Xiao stood aside.

She seemed to be so afraid of Suo Zhongtang that she didn't even dare to raise her head.

Suo Zhongtang spoke first, "Since the queen mother has said everything about this, then I and Prime Minister Fang are not polite." Emperor Zhao once instructed the two of us before his death, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne one day, please assist me and Prime Minister Fang! ”

Suo Zhongtang's words are very clear, he is here to force power.

The look on Prime Minister Fang's face was slightly wrong.

This detail was accurately captured by the Empress Wu Ya.

So he asked, "Prime Minister Fang, what do you think?" Is there really such a thing? ”

The reason why Empress Wu Yashi dared to ask such a question was that she didn't believe that Emperor Zhao would say such a thing at all.

Hehe, no one will believe it. Would a man who had deposed his son twice as crown prince really say such a thing?

Could it be that he will really take precautions for Li Haochen?

And so kindly arranged two ministers with outstanding political achievements for him?

Wu Yashi didn't believe it at all.

Prime Minister Fang also laughed, he was an old fox.

In the past few decades of ups and downs in officialdom, he knows better than anyone how to see the wind and steer the rudder and keep warm.

This time was no exception, and he was ready to betray his teammates.

Suo Zhongtang, I'm really sorry.

Prime Minister Fang touched his white beard and pretended to be stupid.

"No, Emperor Zhao didn't say that."

Ooh.

Suo Zhongtang was stunned.

What is this?

He stared at Prime Minister Fang with his eyes, what the hell are you doing with this old guy?

Prime Minister Fang did not hesitate to stand on the queen's side.

This is not because he has always liked to serve the queen, but because he wants to monopolize this right.

A piece of cake, one for oneself, and one for another, I'm afraid it's still different.

He replied categorically that there was no such thing, that he didn't know anything.

Suo Zhongtang was very embarrassed. He felt like he was now a one-on-two, and he didn't seem to have much certainty about winning.

But it seems that he is unwilling to lose the game like this.

So I had to fight this battle head-on.

So he came up with another way to say: "Emperor Zhao has died, and it is impossible to judge whether this kind of thing is true or false." Prime Minister Fang, how do you prove that Emperor Zhao didn't say this? Maybe it's because you're old, and you don't have Alzheimer's disease. ”

"What do you say? Do I have Alzheimer's? Prime Minister Fang was angry, "Suo Zhongtang, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, you don't know if my brain is normal on weekdays." ”

Suo Zhongtang pursed his mouth, "That might be enough." ”

"You...... You! Hmph, since that's the case, how can you prove that Emperor Zhao said this? ”

"Naturally, I can't prove it, but the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obvious to everyone, and if you want to ascend the throne, you will inevitably need to be assisted by a good general. And you and I are the best candidates! ”

Suo Zhongtang did not give up, and he was still trying to reach a consensus with Prime Minister Fang.

Prime Minister Fang has the intention to leave him alone and become independent.

"That's true, but I'm afraid it only takes one good general, and that's the old minister!"
