Zong Ze slapped himself a few times in front of everyone's eyes, and the fan was loud.

Zhao Gou saw that the time was almost up, so he went down the ladder directly, grabbed Zong Ze and said: "Old general, how dare Zhao Gou!" As the saying goes, brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes, and the treasure of this king is you, the general! ”

Zong Ze stopped, and there was a burst of gratitude on his face, the old man insulted you Zhao Gou's woman like this, you didn't mind at all, you really had a king's mind, and at that time, you were convinced by Zhao Gou again.

Seeing this, everyone also praised Zhao Gou, and said: "A good brother is like a sibling, a wife is like clothes, and the prince is really as big as the sea." ”

Zhao Gouxin said, each other, everyone has a heart, don't you really know that I am staging Liu Xuande's plan to win people's hearts in anger?

Now the most important thing is that the emperor was captured by the Jin people, although Zhao Heng is safe, these old foxes still hope to be able to rescue Zhao Heng.

Zhao Gou Zhengse said: "Now it's time for my military power to be returned to all of you, I hope that in the future, we will work hard to save the emperor in the future." The emperor is blessed with all the heavens, and this king thinks that this time will not be long. ”

This sentence is another pitfall, diverting everyone's attention to the Mandate of Heaven.

If you Zhao Heng can't come back, it's your fate, it's not that we don't have to do our best, but we also give the generals and princes of the Eighteen Roads a step.

The generals were really not fools, and one of the princes sighed: "The emperor was captured by the Jin people this time, is it also the meaning of God?" The Jin people only have interests in their eyes, regardless of the usual etiquette, they are afraid that the emperor will suffer in their hands. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the generals' mood was low.

Zong Ze said: "The country can't be sterile for a day, although the emperor was captured by the Jin people, fortunately, we have Prince Kang here, able to preside over the overall situation, and the recent confrontation with the Jin people is enough to prove that Prince Kang's ability to preside over must not be under the emperor." ”

Zong Ze's sentence is an introduction, that is, to see the reaction of the generals.

Zhao Gou's gaze slowly swept over his face, noticing the change in the expressions of each of them.

Suddenly, a prince came out and said: "Although the folk song is not believable, I have long heard that there is a rumor: the king of eight people in the waist, the ambition is rampant, the December Likang, the king is soup." You think, isn't this waist eight king just gold? alluding to the rampant ambition of the Jin Kingdom, that is, to capture our emperor. December Likang is the name of Jingkang, and Likang, this Kang, should be on King Kang. If you want me to say, this is also providential! ”

Everyone saw that it was the princes of the West Road who said this, who was less than forty years old, with a dignified appearance and a heavy mouth, and this character was a famous person in the west of Tongguan.

When the princes of the Eighteenth Road heard this, they immediately felt that the matter had reached a critical moment, and it was even possible to support Zhao Gou's yellow robe.

Zhao Gou hurriedly said: "General, the folk song thing should not be taken seriously, the emperor is just being captured by the Jin people now, it is our concerted efforts to save the royal family, and make meritorious contributions, it is also a drunken talk to say this." ”

Everyone talked for a while, and sure enough, some people left the table drunk one after another.

The princes of the Eighteenth Road walked for a while, and there were only a few people left, such as Liang Yin, Zong Ze, Guanzhong Kaiyuan, and Hanzhong Cui Fuzhi.

Cui Fu took advantage of the drunkenness and hugged his fist at Zhao Gou and said: "Lord, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Even in Guanzhong, I have heard a lot about the big things that the prince did in Western Xia. In terms of strength and qualifications, the prince is the best candidate. Even if someone is not convinced, it is just a random bet. Rather than supporting others, I would rather choose you, the prince. ”

A general came out directly and said: "When the limit of seven days is reached, the prince has handed over the military power, which is enough to prove that the prince is not greedy for military power, and asked me to say that the prince is the emperor, which is the meaning of God." ”

As soon as Cui Fuzhi's words landed, all the generals knelt on the ground one after another, and there was a sound of support.

Liang Yin knelt on the ground, just constantly looking up at Zhao Gou, just afraid that he would miss the excitement of the moment when Zhao Gou agreed.

Those who support it are also looking forward to it, and their hearts are surging.

Zhao Gou looked up to the sky and sighed: "You don't know the destiny of heaven, the way of heaven is unknown, and you can't do it." ”

Cui Fu shouted: "Lord, I am willing to release the seal to the prince!" ”

Chong Kaiyuan also said: "Lord Wang, if you think that there are few soldiers, I am willing to release the seal to the prince." ”

Zong Ze Zhengse said: "Lord Wang, if you don't take it, you will be blamed." Those of us have already bet our fate on the prince. ”

Zhao Gou stepped down, touched his hand on the heads of Chong Kaiyuan and Cui Fuzhi, and said to the crowd: "All the generals are drunk, how can you be drunk and discuss national affairs?" Go and rest. ”

After speaking, Zhao Gou just left.

The generals looked at each other for a while, and Zong Ze suddenly said: "We are all military generals, and the weight is not enough, so it is natural for the prince to have this concern." Now that Emperor Zhezong, Empress Meng, is in the Xijin Mansion, why don't we invite Empress Meng to preside over this matter? ”

Chong Kaiyuan said: "Just now, the prince just touched my head with his hand, which is obviously interesting." Now the prince does not agree, the first is that the people's hearts are unstable, and the second is that our weight is not enough, if Queen Meng comes, no one will have any dissent. ”

Cui Fuzhi said worriedly: "Will Empress Meng agree to Zhang Luo's matter?" ”

Liang Yin smiled in his heart, and said in his heart What do you know, as long as the prince nods, Queen Meng's life can be dispensed with, and the matter of Zhang Luo is too simple.

Seeing that the generals did not object to his proposal, Zong Ze said: "Now that the arrow is on the bow, it has to be sent, and the top priority is to send someone to Xijin Mansion." ”

However, Empress Meng actually arrived in Dingzhou that night.

If it weren't for something happening in Xijin Mansion, she would have gone to Daze District to see Zhao Gou a long time ago.

When Empress Meng arrived at Zhao Gou's tent, she simply talked about gossip, and she went straight to the point: "Zhao Heng was captured, it was his own bad life, as long as the people of the Jin Kingdom asked for money, the court would not give it, and you Zhao Gou would never be a good person!" Fight rice to raise grace, bear rice to raise revenge! ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Lao Tzu's hard-earned money, are you still afraid that you won't be able to spend it?" ”

Empress Meng smiled: "You promise to do this, with this money, you can buy people's hearts." In addition, if there are people who support you in the kingdom for a day, you must not come up and promise them, and when you see clearly the hearts of the people and make sure that you are in the majority, I will teach you how to do it. ”

Zhao Gou nodded, in fact, he did the same.

Empress Meng took a sip of wine and said, "Even if you are in the majority, don't come up and claim the throne, start to have the right to regent state affairs, give those who haven't had time to react have some time to prepare, so that they will also have the opportunity to prepare to get close to you." Otherwise, if you claim to be honorable, they won't be able to get a piece of the pie, and even if it's yours, they will stand opposite you. ”

Zhao Gou nodded, and said in his heart that although Lao Tzu knew a little about the routines of the feudal era, there were still places that he couldn't figure out at critical times.

For example, it is clear that the strength has reached the point of being the king, but he is still blindly modest, pushing and pushing, which seems hypocritical, but in fact it is an inevitable link designed for the further consolidation of royal power.

"Baby, I remember everything you said, so let's start with this regent state affair." Zhao Gou also took a sip of wine, and said with a clear face on his face.

Empress Meng was also shocked when she saw his expression of calculating everything, and she put it on anyone casually, this is a great event to be an emperor, and she must be so excited that she can't sleep, and Zhao Gou is still so calm, as if she is discussing what to eat next.
