When Li Gang heard that the two palaces were coming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the disobedient Zhao Gou among the princes of the Eighteen Roads out to greet him.

And Zhao Gou and the people also knelt on the ground.

The Queen Mother Wang ordered everyone to sit down, and said with a majestic face: "I just heard that you are here to discuss state affairs, and several princes are also there. Today is the autumn of the country's survival, and you can come to King Qin from all over the country, and the palace is very pleased. Helplessly, the people of Jin Guo were too powerful, and they actually took the emperor captive, and now life and death are uncertain. Therefore, I asked Empress Meng to do it for me first, which is to express my condolences to the listed general Aiqing. It's an eventful season, and I can't bear to mention it. ”

As he spoke, Wang just shed a few tears.

After the words were finished, the generals were also wet.

Li Gang stood up and said to the Wang family: "Queen Mother, just now the eighth prince threatened the old man and wanted to attack the old man. also asked the Queen Mother to mediate. ”

Wang Shi sighed and looked at Zhao Gou: "Eighth prince, you have been fat recently, and your brother is now taken captive by the Jin people, so you can't sit still and want to move the old generals and former ministers of the previous dynasty." ”

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Li Gang is rude, and he has a very bad reputation for climbing ashes, I just can't see him jumping too high, and he doesn't look worried about his family and country at all, he can't be angry for a while, how dare he slaughter the Li family!" ”

When he said the words of slaughtering the Li family, his eyes drifted to Li Gang, and he deliberately accentuated his tone.

The queen mother's position is obvious, that is, she can't let Zhao Gouquan be the regent, the emperor has no bad news, and she can't set up a strong person to be the regent, only the weak one can do it, even if the emperor can't come back, the power will not fall into the hands of other families.

And the people who dared to work against Zhao Gou among the princes of the Eighteenth Route probably figured out the meaning of the Queen Mother, and may even have obtained her secret order.

Wang said: "The eighth prince has led troops for the country for many years, and he has also made great contributions, and now the emperor's life and death are uncertain, and he must take the lead in setting an example and overcoming the difficulties together." After all, you are still young and vigorous, and you may not have the ministers and veterans of the country who are well-informed. ”

Zhao conceived a smile, pretending to talk with a shelf, like a frog at the bottom of a well.

Originally, he wanted to rely on the victory of leading his troops to drive away the Jin soldiers and take down these princes, but unexpectedly, the princes did not cooperate at first, and then it was the queen mother who got in the way.

It seems that Lao Tzu crossed over and still underestimated the stupidity and greed of this era.

When Zhao Gou heard this, he thanked him, and said in his heart that you should show off and see who will be beaten at that time.

Wang took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "Lord Kang, I heard that you brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into the capital, the capital was almost alarmed, before the palace had an order, you let these soldiers and horses temporarily stationed outside the capital, the people in the capital were panicked, just afraid that people with thieves would spread rumors and disturb the people's hearts." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Queen Mother, these are King Qin's soldiers, they have not been rewarded yet, and tens of thousands have already entered the city, if they are thrown out, I am afraid that they will mutiny." ”

Wang's face was ugly, she also knew about the treasury, the emperor almost emptied the treasury when he went out to fight, where is there any money to reward.

Her face sank, and she didn't speak.

Li Gang smiled and said: "Queen Mother, I don't think Zhao Gou will reward the soldiers if he brings them." ”

Wang said: "Why did General Li say this? ”

Li Gang said: "Zhao Gou is not the blood and blood of Emperor Huizong, about his life experience, someone knows what is going on, I have already secretly sent someone to call just now." If it is true, it is a deception, these people are all chaotic ministers and thieves, they have too late to escape from death, how dare they expect a reward? ”

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the Queen Mother's face.

Zhao Gou also said that Li Gang should die just now, and at this time he found the clue, it turned out that the Wang family was the obstruction, obviously this scene was designed by her and Li Gang in advance, because she was obviously not too surprised when she heard the news.

Wang said quietly: "Prince Kang has led the troops meritoriously, how can you slander him?" ”

Li Gang said: "Queen Mother, the old minister didn't want to break it, but for example, many people today are pinning their hopes on Zhao Gouquan's regent, and it is difficult to ride a tiger. ”

Wang looked at Zhao Gou and said, "Lord Kang, do you know what Li Gang meant?" ”

Zhao Gou said: "My father has ascended, and my brother is also going north, some villains are willing to say whatever they want, and no one can testify, they are just to achieve ulterior purposes, and the minister Zhao Gou only thinks that he Li Gang has a fart." ”

Li Gang said in a fierce voice: "You Zhao Gou lied!" When I knew this shocking news, I was also very skeptical, but then more and more witnesses appeared, I couldn't help but believe it, and they could prove that Emperor Huizong's Dengyao was also inseparable from Zhao Gou, and may even be the culprit. ”

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Zhao Gou, he was afraid that he would immediately show his original form in the face of such a severe accusation.

After all, if Li Gang might have been talking nonsense just now, now in the presence of the Queen Mother and the Empress, he still insists on it, there must be someone who proves it.

However, Zhao Gou still had an unwavering face, and his calm appearance made the accusers of him hate him.

Seeing that Zhao Gou was not moved at all, Wang said in his heart that he would let you know that he was powerful for a while, and a trace of hideousness flashed in his eyes, and he paused: "Old General Li, you said that there is a witness, then pass on the witness, and the palace will confront him well." ”

After a while, I saw a group of hidden warriors walking in behind a general, kneeling on the ground to greet the Empress Dowager and Empress Meng.

Li Gang said to those hidden warriors: "What you will see and know is to say it, and in front of the Queen Mother, explain Zhao Gou's life experience clearly." ”

Those hidden warriors seemed to have memorized their lines in advance, starting from the dungeon of Emperor Huizong with a clear eye, talking about the imprisonment of Chen Daochang and Concubine Wei, and talking about the fire in the Palace of Eternal Life, which is vivid.

When Li Gang saw that they were finished, he pointed at Zhao Gou and said, "You can see clearly, is this person?" ”

The hidden warrior said: "It is him, Emperor Huizong disappeared that night, and he had a confrontation with him before he disappeared." ”

Li Gang turned to the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, what the testimony said is not fabricated, Zhao Gou's background is at least questionable, and he must not be the regent of the country." Fortunately, the Queen Mother came in time, otherwise we, the courtiers, would have been completely led by the nose by Empress Meng and Zhao Gou. ”

Wang looked at Empress Meng and said, "Empress Meng, when are you favoring Zhao Gou, Old General Li didn't tell me in time." The eighth prince's life experience is mysterious, this is a major matter related to the country, do you have to wait for him to succeed in power, and then expose him in turn? ”

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, the scene was instantly terrifyingly quiet, and suddenly she heard the sound of someone drawing her sword.
