What Cao Jingxiu said, Empress Cao can naturally understand.

But as the queen of the dynasty, this kind of hostage coercion to achieve things is definitely not what she thinks.

And now the situation is different from the beginning, when King Yan had no hope, so he went to fight hard.

In order to prevent the generals in Beijing from coming forward to quell the rebellion, he thought about using his relatives to threaten his life.

So he said, "This move is not appropriate, the situation in the palace is under control now, just wait for the official family to die.

If I personally read the edict in front of the ministers and pass the throne to the little prince, this matter will be justified, and then the hundred officials can only recognize it.

Why do you want to do such a thing, but you will be talked about."

Cao Jingxiu thought about it seriously, and felt that what Queen Cao said was reasonable, so he didn't continue the topic just now.

Instead, he said, "In that case, the official's illness must be kept strictly secret, so as not to be seen by others.

These other people are easy to say, but if Ouyang Daxianggong and Han Daxianggong enter the palace to see the driver, what if they see something."

This is indeed a problem, although Zhao Zhen's condition has been well concealed, even Zhao Zhen himself does not know.

But Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu are both human spirits and well-informed, so if they really notice something, it will be really troublesome.

So I really thought of a way to separate these two people for a few days, of course, the most important of them was to separate Han Qi.

So after pondering for a while, Empress Cao said, "It's not been a day or two since the official family has been sick, and it's not so easy for them to notice that something is wrong.

Imperial Doctor Song also said that the official family's body will not last a few days, as long as it lasts for a few days.

Didn't I say last time that it was because of the league's blessings that the official family's health improved, and this time I just used this reason.

Let the ministers go to the Great Xiangguo Temple for me and pray for the blessings of the officials."

Cao Jingxiu replied: "This method is not bad, but it is impossible for the two prime ministers to go together, what if it is the great minister Han who stays at that time."

Since Empress Cao had an idea, she naturally had a plan for this, so she said, "You go to the county lord of Pingning and let his little grandfather come forward and impeach Han Qi in the court.

Let's just say that he has a wrong heart, colluded with Zhao Zongquan, and plotted against each other."

Hearing this, Cao Jingxiu suddenly realized: "Yes, although this impeachment can't shake the position of Han Daxianggong, it will always make him have some scruples.

It just so happens that at this time, I need to pray for the blessings of the official family, and if I want to come to the Han Dynasty, I must rush to go and show my loyalty to the official family."

But after the affirmation, Cao Jingxiu had doubts again: "These two things are connected, is it too much of a coincidence, will it make Han Daxianggong aware of the abnormality."

Empress Cao didn't care about this question: "Even if you detect an abnormality, the main purpose now is to drag it out for a few days.

Even if he really reacts to something wrong, it will take time to think about it and investigate the cause and effect when the time comes.

Han Daxianggong is a scholar, and he knows the gains and losses best, and when the dust settles, he will naturally make the right choice."

Cao Jingxiu nodded after hearing this, and said, "Okay, then I'll do this right away, and do you want to lobby Zeng Chaosheng and Bi Zhong."

….

Let them pay attention to it in the next few days and be prepared for the unexpected that may arise."

Empress Cao thought about it, but still said, "Now the palace must maintain normalcy, just like the previous official family was sick.

Only in this way will it not be reminiscent of something possible in the palace.

Zeng Chaosheng and Bi Zhongyou don't want to tell the truth for the time being, they just say that the old illness of the official family has recurred, so let them be careful."

There were no other problems, so Cao Jingxiu retired to do things.

Empress Cao then sat on the edge of Zhao Zhen's bed, and waited until Imperial Physician Song came over with the boiled decoction, and personally fed Zhao Zhen to drink.

After everything was done, Zhu Neijian stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, you have not come to rest in the past few days

, why don't you go back to the Funing Hall to rest first, here we are watching.

When the official family wakes up, I will send someone to inform you."

After hearing this, Empress Cao shook her head and said, "I don't feel at ease when I return to Ciyuan Palace, so I'm still here waiting for the official family to wake up."

Seeing Queen Cao's resolute attitude, everyone did not persuade again, but went down to prepare tea and fruits, which were convenient to eat at any time.

As for Imperial Physician Song, of course, he is also staying here, observing Zhao Zhen's state at any time.

In this way, after half an hour, Zhao Zhen finally woke up in a daze.

At first glance, I saw Imperial Physician Song, and asked, "Imperial Physician, how is my body now?"

As soon as these words came out, Imperial Physician Song immediately hesitated, because according to Empress Cao, she couldn't tell the truth, so as not to stimulate Zhao Zhen.

can let himself lie to Zhao Zhen, but Imperial Doctor Song doesn't dare, after all, he is bullying the king.

Seeing that Imperial Physician Song didn't know how to answer, Empress Cao immediately said, "Your body is fine, this coma is only because it was some time ago.

If you're busy with work without your body fully recovering, you'll be fine as long as you recuperate for a few days."

After speaking, he didn't forget to say to Imperial Doctor Song, "What I said just now is right."

Seeing this, Imperial Physician Song immediately replied, "That's true, as long as the official family recuperates in peace, they will definitely recover."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded lightly, and did not continue to ask.

Then Empress Cao found an excuse and sent Imperial Doctor Song back, lest he stay here and be in trouble if he missed in front of Zhao Zhen.

After the others sent them away, Empress Cao returned to the bed and asked, "Guanjia, you have been sleeping for so long, you should be hungry, why don't I ask the imperial dining room to send some food."

Zhao Zhen was also quite weak at this time, so he said softly, "It's okay, the queen will arrange it."

Then Empress Cao ordered people to go to the imperial dining room, asked them to make some white porridge, and fed it to Zhao Zhen one bite at a time.

After eating these, Zhao Zhen seemed to have recovered some of his spirits, but his body still felt very tired.

Then he said to Queen Cao, "I see that your face is not very good, so let's go back and rest quickly."

After all, now that I'm down, you have to stand up alone at this time, and you must not fall."

Empress Cao replied, "Don't worry, I can still hold on, so let me accompany you here more."

….

Zhao Zhen said, "What are you talking about, we still have a long time in the future, so don't rush at this time.

And after I ate, I was a little tired, and I wanted to rest for a while."

Hearing what Zhao Zhen said, thinking that there was not much time left for her and Zhao Zhen to meet, Empress Cao's face couldn't help but change.

But he quickly reacted and knew that in front of Zhao Zhen, it was really inappropriate for him to show this kind of feeling.

Dang Yang answered, "Okay, then the concubine will serve the official family and lie down first, and then rest in the Hui Ciyuan Palace.

Wait for about the hour, and the concubine will come again, and then I will accompany you to dinner."

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything after hearing this, and lay down again under her service, slowly closing his eyes.

Then Empress Cao left the Funing Palace, of course, before leaving, she didn't want to tell Zhu Neijian,

"If something happens to the Funing Palace, you must send someone to the Ciyuan Hall in time to inform yourself."

After Zhu Neijian agreed, Empress Cao left with confidence.

Then the Funing Hall fell into a silence, especially after Zhu Neijian saw that Zhao Zhen's breathing was smooth and seemed to be asleep.

Zhu Neijian called all the palace maids and eunuchs in the inner room to wait outside, so as not to disturb Zhao Zhen's rest.

But what Eunuch Zhu didn't know, when there was no one in the inner room, Zhao Zhen also quietly opened his eyes.

At first, only a gap was slightly opened to observe the situation inside.

It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no one that Zhao Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until a long time later that Zhao Zhen's eyes began to converge, as if he had made some decision in his heart.

Then Zhao Zhencai closed his eyes again, thinking in his mind how to break the current situation.

At the beginning of the unitary period, Empress Cao rushed over on time, asked Zhao Zhen what he wanted to eat, and asked the imperial dining room to prepare.

After eating, Empress Cao waited in the Funing Hall until Zhao Zhen fell asleep before returning to the Ciyuan Palace.

That night, the news that Zhao Zhen was in a coma again spread from the palace, which immediately made the hearts of many people in Bianjing City pinch up, including Han Qi.

If it weren't for the news that Zhao Zhen had woken up early the next morning, I was afraid that many people in Bianjing City would have to close their doors.

It is precisely because of Zhao Zhen's coma that no one dared to be absent from today's court meeting, basically all the officials who could go to court in Bianjing City came, including Li Hao.

The entire court meeting was co-chaired by Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, and the first thing discussed was the decree of Empress Cao, to pray for Zhao Zhen in Daxiangguo Temple.

For this request, the officials of the imperial court naturally did not oppose it without a long eye.

Then the rest is to discuss the specific candidates, originally according to Han Qi's meaning, this time let Zhao Zongquan go.

After all, the last time I went to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, it was Zhao Zonghan who went, that is, the Duke of Qi and Zhao Zonghan came together.

For Han Qi's proposal, the other people in the court didn't have any opinions, just when Han Qi thought that this matter would just pass.

"The lower officials think this is inappropriate." I saw Qi Heng walking out of the court class as he spoke.

….

Originally, as soon as they heard this voice, everyone was still wondering who was so iron-headed, until they saw that it was Qi Heng, and everyone felt that it was quite normal.

Although they didn't say it specifically, the ministers who were able to participate in the court meeting were all smart people in a million, so how could they really not see their position.

After all, one of these two people supports Zhao Zongquan and the other supports Zhao Zonghan, and it is reasonable for Qi Heng to jump out against it at this time.

Seeing this scene, Han Qi said directly: "It is a matter of course for the eldest prince to pray for his father's health and worship God, I don't know what the doctor thinks is wrong with this move."

Qi Heng said, "It is filial piety for a son to pray for his father, so there is naturally no problem."

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Han Qi couldn't help but ask, "Oh, I don't know why what the doctor said is inappropriate."

Qi Heng replied, "If this move is really for filial piety, then naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

But this matter should not be recommended by Prime Minister Han, after all, you were extremely close to the eldest prince at the beginning, is this election really selfless?"

Seeing that Qi Heng directly aimed the finger at Han Qi, he was really stunned by the people below.

Among them, Li Hao was muttering in his heart at this time: "The little grandfather is becoming more and more ruthless now, this is going to be a frontal hand-to-hand fight with real swords and guns."

After hearing this, Han Qi directly said angrily: "Advise the doctor not to talk nonsense, I have some personal relations with the eldest prince, but it has nothing to do with the government.

When you say this, you are preparing to slander the court as the court's chief assistant."

Qi Heng really didn't care about Han Qi's threat, and said directly: "Yanguan already has the authority to do things, so it is difficult for the prime minister to want to block the salt road.

And whether I'm talking about slander or not, don't you know in the heart of the prime minister!"

Han Qi was angry and took a deep breath, but he really couldn't do anything about Qi Heng for a while.

After all, using the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court to check and balance Zaifu has always been the emperor's means of restricting the power of the prime minister.

Even in the later stage of the original plot, after Zhao Zongquan ascended, under Han Qi's monopoly of power, in the face of the persecution of Taiwan, he could only let Zhao Zongquan come forward to denounce him.

[In view of the general environment,

Now in this situation, Han Qi really has nothing to do with Qi Heng for a while

, just as the two sides are arguing.

Suddenly, an inner eunuch walked in from the apse and said, "The official family has an order, this time I went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, and there was no need for the prince to go, and it was replaced by the Great Prime Minister.

The two ministers can discuss now who will go to the minister's national division, so that I can go back and report to the minister."

The inner eunuch said that the two of them would discuss it themselves, but their eyes looked straight at Han Qi.

Of course, Han Qi understood what he meant, if he really had the intention to let the two of them discuss, he would not let himself decide immediately.

Obviously, before coming out, the official family had already made a decision, and saying this was just a formality, plus the previous argument did not have a good impact, and he intended to make up for it.

So he came out directly and said, "In that case, then this time I will go to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for the blessing of the country."

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to ask Ouyang Xiu's opinion: "Grand Minister Ouyang, I don't know if you are willing to give me this opportunity."

Of course, Ouyang Xiu had no problem, and he didn't think about earning money in this matter, so he immediately replied, "Then it's going to bother Prime Minister Han."

After getting the letter, the inner eunuch retreated to the harem and went to report the news to Empress Cao.

After the inner prison left, Han Qi saw that Qi Heng was still standing outside, and he was really angry.

But there was no choice but to say coldly: "Doctor, if you don't quit the class, don't you have other things to discuss with the officials."

With Han Qi's voice, everyone's eyes once again focused on Qi Heng, all wanting to see if he was going to make some trouble.

But I saw Qi Heng reply: "The lower official has nothing to report, so he will quit the class."

As he spoke, he walked to his place, which disappointed everyone, including Li Hao, as if they had seen a lot less excitement.

After that, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu discussed other matters with the hundred officials, and then dispersed and left.

At this time, Empress Cao had already received a letter of permission and knew that Han Qi had promised to go to the Great Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings.

From knowledge to strength
