In the corridor on the side of the temple gate, five candidate sects are waiting for the final result.

Zhao Mengqi was a little bored, and when he saw Zhao Mengguan sitting opposite him, he couldn't help but smile, "Brother Mengguan, Xiao Wang has a doubt, can you help me answer it." ”

Not knowing what Zhao Mengqi wanted to do, Zhao Mengguan suddenly became nervous, "Palace... Your Highness, please speak. ”

"Xiao Wang wants to know, in order to become a prince, you did not hesitate to change your name and surname, but now that your dream has come to naught, do you want to change it back?" Zhao Mengqi's question was really unkind.

As the saying goes, you don't slap people in the face, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you scold people, but this Zhao Mengqi didn't have any scruples at all, and even the other three were stunned.

Zhao Mengguan's face was about to explode, "The succession has been decided, how can there be a reason to change it, Your Highness must not laugh at it, not to mention that the result may not be ......"

"Hahaha, cousin Mo Qi, I'm just sad for my aunt, after all, the benefits have not been reaped, and the only son is gone, it is really a meat bun beating a dog."

The other three had a chill, this loyal king is really bad, and they have to stay away from him in the future.

At this time, three Banzhi guards walked in and saluted Zhao Mengqi first, "Your Highness, the lowly rank is ordered to arrest Zhao Mengxi, and if you are disturbed, please forgive me." ”

After speaking, the two guards stepped forward to detain Zhao Mengxi, who looked confused, and blocked his mouth and dragged him out.

The other three were frightened, and Zhao Mengqi was indifferent and asked the guards who were left, "Is the result of the palace decided?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it has been decided, the official family has sealed the Tongping Chapter for you, and the official will should be given to you later, and the official family will let you go back to the dormitory first."

Although they had already expected it, after hearing the exact news, the other three were still very depressed, and they were even more worried in their hearts when they inexplicably dragged Zhao Mengxi away.

The people who participated in the seizure of the crown from ancient times, the loser will not end well, not to mention that he saw that King Zhong seems to be a very grudgeful person just now, so he is even more panicked.

Zhao Mengqi glanced at the three of them, walked over and patted Zhao Heyun and Zhao Mengqi on the shoulders, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, maybe, we can make friends in the future." ”

Zhao Mengguan saw that he deliberately ignored himself, didn't this mean that he didn't care about the two of them, but he wouldn't let himself go?

But Zhao Mengqi did not continue to scare him, but explained to the guards, "You arrange people to send the three of them out of the palace." ”

"Oh, do as you are told."

Looking at the back of the three of them leaving, Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but have some doubts.

Originally, he thought that Zhao Mengxi was Concubine Yan's pawn, and Zhao Mengguan was Concubine Qian's pawn.

So when he set up the back hand, he chose Zhao Mengxi to open the knife, after all, Zhao Mengguan is Lao Zhao's nephew, and Lao Zhao may not agree.

But judging from today's situation, Zhao Mengxi did not get any strong support, but Zhao Mengguan received support, which seemed to be beyond the ability of the Qian family.

It's a pity that he lacks channels to get information at hand, and many things can only be speculated, and he can't figure it out, so he has to give up for the time being.

This is also a helpless thing, there is only one Huang Wolf who can be used reliably around him, and Chang Geng and Zeng Ba and others who escorted him to Shaoxing last time can be regarded as serving him, but they are just a group of killers, and they can't expect to help him do more.

It seems that the matter of recruiting cronies is imminent.

"Ah Lang, the little one is here to take you back to the temple."

Huang Zhi came over with a few little yellow doors, interrupting Zhao Mengqi's thoughts.

Zhao Mengqi walked out of the corridor room and looked in the direction of the palace gate, as if there was no intention of dispersing the dynasty there, so he had to extinguish the idea of talking to Lao Zhao.

On the way back to the harem, Zhao Mengqi asked casually, "Huang Zhi, where can I find someone who is better at finding out news?" ”

"Ah Lang, what do you want to know, just ask the little one?"

"Ask you? That's right, you know half of what is going on in the palace, but what about outside the palace? ”

"Eh, Ah Lang, what are you doing outside the palace... Oh, Ah Lang, don't be angry, the little bones are hard, don't kick your feet...... In fact, Ah Lang, you have to know that things outside the palace are also simple. ”

"Simple? Where does this begin? ”

"Lin Abbot is to promote the Imperial City Division, he didn't tell you?"

"Old man Lin? Raise the Imperial City Division? ”

"Yes, he is an old man in the official family's hidden mansion, and the key point of the Imperial City Division naturally has to be in the hands of a trustworthy person."

Zhao Mengqi has been here for more than ten days, and he has probably figured out a little bit of the situation.

To a certain extent, there are three institutions that are most important to the imperial power in the Great Song Dynasty, one is the palace front division, the other is the guard division, and the other is the imperial city division.

The political structure of the Great Song Dynasty was first inherited from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and had a strong military government style.

Therefore, the entire Great Song Dynasty seems to emphasize literature over military force, but the military power is firmly in the hands of the royal family, and the most obvious feature is that high-level eunuchs and high-level military attaches are actually the same system.

These three divisions, from the name, at first glance, are the departments responsible for guarding the security of the imperial city, which does not seem to be a big deal.

However, the front of the palace division and the guard pro-army division are collectively called the 'two divisions', and the subordinate institutions of the front of the palace are all commanding the envoys, and the subordinate institutions of the guards and pro-army divisions are commanding the envoys, and the guards and pro-army infantry are commanding the envoys, and the guards are all commanding the envoys.

And these 'two divisions and three ya' are the supreme command body of the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty, and the armed forces directly under the central government of the entire Great Song Dynasty are subordinate to these three ya.

I am careful that it is a difference!

The guards of the palace are divided by the three divisions, and when they go below, without the imperial city division, they are still divided by the three ya.

For example, the forbidden army in Shaoxing, the main force is the fourth general in the southeast, and there are nine commanders below, each commanding 500 people, but these nine commanders are subordinate to the front of the palace division, the guard horse army division and the guard infantry division.

This is the balance and restraint of the Great Song Dynasty, assuming that a certain military leader wants to rebel, first of all, he has to subdue the people of three different systems quietly, and then say, this difficulty can be imagined.

The two divisions and three yas control the armed forces, while the imperial city division controls intelligence and surveillance, and these three divisions together ensure the stability of the imperial power.

This is the lesson that the Great Song Dynasty learned from the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, and the foundation of state power is actually force.

From this point of view, whoever masters the three divisions will master the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, at this time, Zhao Mengqi realized that the old man Lin, who was always invisible, was so important.

……

Ciyuan Hall.

In the bedroom, broken porcelain tiles are spread all over the floor.

"Rubbish! Eater! ”

Yan Guifei was angry, and the towering in front of her fell together, but no one dared to look at it.

It all stems from the news that has just arrived.

"This Wei Guansun is so incompetent, out of five people, he is only ranked fourth! But as long as he can be of some use, even if he is second, he can talk about it in front of the official family, give him a chance, and now he is not a fart! ”

Yan Guifei was annoyed, "And those ministers, they promised well, and in the end, they were all on both sides!" ”

"Guifei is angry, your body is the most important." Lu Yunsheng bowed his head and persuaded, and then explained, "Concubine, speaking of which, our influence on the court is too weak, those civil officials are all people who want to save face, for fear that they will have too much contact with the harem, and they will be labeled as a lucky villain and a traitor to the concubine party, if only the Qian family was willing to help......"

This Lu Yunsheng had a closed door in the Qian Mansion last time, and he has always held a grudge, and seized the opportunity to take eye medicine in front of Yan Guifei.

"Damn the Qian family!" Yan Guifei gritted her teeth, "At the beginning, Qian Li took the initiative to ask me for cooperation, but at the critical moment, she turned her face and denied it, one day, I will make them pay for it!" ”

Originally, using the influence of the Qian family, he would definitely be able to gain more support among the civil officials, and in many things, the harem could not intervene, but the Qian family could come forward like a fish in water.

Therefore, the Qian family suddenly broke off cooperation, which caused great damage to Yan Guifei.

"I heard that the head of the Qian family intends to show favor to the loyal king......"

"What!? It's just a matter of breaking the cooperation, they still dare to betray their position and lick that fool's feet!? Is it really easy to bully? ”

Lu Yunsheng saw that the time had come, a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Concubine, the little one has a plan, which can not only teach King Zhong a lesson, but also make the Qian family's plan to take refuge in King Zhong be stillborn!" ”

"What's the plan? Come on. ”

"Concubine, as long as ......"
