Zhao Gou's heart moved when he heard this, he had long wanted to overthrow Zhao Yingluo and regain the power of the court.

Now Du Chong took the initiative to send it to the door to ask for cooperation, which is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So he pretended to ponder for a moment and then said, "This matter is very important, and I need to think about it. ”

Seeing that Zhao Gou did not directly refuse, Du Chong was secretly happy in his heart and hurriedly said: "The minister understands that this matter really needs to be carefully considered. However, the minister believes that His Majesty the Aether Emperor will be able to handle the matter properly. ”

Zhao Gou stood on the painting boat of the Bianhe River, admiring the sparkling water on the surface, but his heart was burning with unwilling anger.

Since his abdication, he has endured the humiliation of being hollowed out day and night, and whenever he thinks of the fall of the power of the government, he is like a fish in his throat.

"Your Majesty the Emperor," Du Chong's voice interrupted Zhao Gou's contemplation, and he bowed with a smug smile on his face, "The minister has a plan, which may help His Majesty regain power." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Gou's eyes, but he deliberately asked indifferently, "Oh? If Du Qing has any clever plan, you might as well talk about it. ”

Du Chong looked around to make sure that no one was listening, and then said in a low voice: "The minister has discussed with Wan Qiaowei and He Zhu, and they are willing to help Your Majesty."

As long as you unite a number of courtiers and hand over a joint letter to demand the repatriation of Wan Yan Zongyi and Wan Yan Yan, you can take the opportunity to put pressure on the queen mother and regain the government. ”

Zhao Gou's heart moved, but his face was silent: "Wan Qiao and He Zhu?" Are the two of them reliable? ”

"Infallible," Du Chong swore assuringly, "both of them are loyal to Your Majesty and greedy. As long as they promise heavy profits, they will definitely serve His Majesty. ”

Zhao Gou nodded slightly, but secretly sneered in his heart.

He knew the greedy nature of Wan Qiwei and He Zhu, but he was also aware of their ambitions.

The reason why these two people are willing to help him is nothing more than to see the interests of returning to power.

However, he also needs such allies, and their goals are the same, at least for now.

"Okay," Zhao Gou said in a deep voice, "just act according to Du Qing's plan." However, I will meet them personally to ensure their loyalty. ”

"Minister, let's arrange it." Du Chong bowed down and withdrew from the painting boat, secretly proud in his heart.

He knew that once Zhao Gou joined forces with Wan Qiao, He Zhu and others, there would be a bloody storm in the court.

Wan Qiaoxuan and He Zhu were both surprised and happy when they learned that Zhao Gou was going to see them in person.

They know it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but they also know the stakes involved.

The two discussed for a long time and decided to express their loyalty to Zhao Gou first, and then test his bottom line.

When the two came to Zhao Gou, they knelt down together and swore loudly: "The ministers are willing to serve Your Majesty and go to the soup to fight the fire!" ”

Zhao Gou looked at the flattering smiles of the two, but he sneered in his heart.

He knew that what the two of them were talking about was nothing more than a scene, but he also needed such a scene to strengthen his position.

So, he personally helped the two of them up, and said warmly: "I believe in the loyalty of the two. As long as I can return to power, I will not treat them badly. ”

Wan Qixiao and He Zhu looked at each other and smiled, secretly proud in their hearts. They know that they have successfully taken the first step.

Next, as long as they act according to the plan, then the power of the court will definitely fall into their hands.

However, what they didn't know was that Zhao Gou didn't really trust them.

In his mind, these two are just pawns.

Once they are used, what their fate will be, Zhao Gou will not care at all.

In the early morning of the second day, the sun fell through the clouds, reflecting the entire Kaifeng City in a golden color.

Du Chong got up early, and after freshening up and dressing up, he sent someone to invite Wan Qiaoyu and He Zhu to come to the mansion for a talk.

After a while, Wan Qiaoqiao and He Zhu came to Du Chong's mansion one after another.

Both of them are important ministers of the court, and they are busy with official affairs on weekdays, so being able to take the time to come to Du Chong's mansion at this moment shows their respect for Du Chong.

Du Chong warmly welcomed the two into the study, ordered someone to serve fragrant tea and pastries, and then began to talk about business.

Du Chong talked about Yan Yan's matter in detail, and expressed the hope that Wan Qiaoyu and He Zhu could come forward to unite the courtiers to put pressure on Zhao Yingluo.

He said: "This matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and if we can successfully persuade Zhao Yingluo to return Princess Yanyan, we can not only ease the tension between the two countries, but also win more benefits for the imperial court." ”

Wan Qiwei and He Zhu couldn't help but move in their hearts after listening to Du Chong's words, they knew that if this matter was successful, the merit would be in the society and the benefits would be in the future, but if they failed, they might get into trouble.

Therefore, the two did not agree immediately, but looked at each other and were silent.

Seeing that the two of them were hesitant, Du Chong added another fire and said: "The two adults are important ministers in the court and are deeply valued by the emperor, and this is the time to share the worries and solve problems for the court. What's more, Lord Han Fang has promised to give the two adults a generous reward, and he will never let the two adults work hard in vain. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Han Fang and motioned for him to express his position.

Seeing this, Han Fang hurriedly took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Wan Qiyu and He Zhu and said, "This is a little care, please let the two adults laugh at it." ”

Wan Qiaoqiao and He Zhu took the silver ticket and glanced at the numbers on it, they couldn't help but be happy, they knew that this silver ticket was enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

So the two of them no longer hesitated and agreed: "Since Du Xianggong and Lord Han value us so much, we should do our best to handle this matter." ”

After getting the promise from Wan Qiwei and He Zhu, Du Chong was overjoyed, knowing that his plan was half successful.

A few days later, the day of the court meeting came, and hundreds of officials gathered in the palace hall, and Zhao Yingluo still sat on the dragon chair with the little emperor Zhao Yang in her arms.

After taking care of some daily affairs, Wan Qiaoyu stood up, held a sword in his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a book to play. ”

Zhao Yingluo frowned slightly when she saw that it was Wan Qian, she naturally knew that she had assisted Qin Hui in framing Yue Fei in history, but when she disposed of Qin Hui, she didn't find his handle, so she left him behind.

"What's the matter with Wan Qing?"

Wan Qiwei raised the sword above his head and said, "The minister, together with a number of ministers, asked His Majesty to return Princess Wanyan Yan to the Jin Kingdom. ”

After speaking, he handed the slasher to the chamberlain next to him and asked him to present it to Zhao Yingluo.

Zhao Yingluo took the slash handed over by the waiter, and after glancing at the content on it, she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, and a pair of phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light.

She glanced at the ministers standing with His Royal Highness, and already understood in her heart that all this was done behind the back by Han Fang, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom.

"Wan Qiao!" Zhao Yingluo suddenly shouted, and the voice echoed in the hall, making everyone's hearts tremble.

When Wan Qian heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and responded: "The minister is here." ”

Zhao Yingluo smashed the slash in his hand at Wan Qiao, and said angrily: "You are so bold!" Dare to unite with the courtiers to force the palace! Say! Who instructed you? ”

Wan Qiaowei was taken aback by Zhao Yingluo's sudden attack, he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is angry, the ministers and others are also for the country and the people, and there is no intention of forcing the palace." Han Fang, the envoy of the Jin State......"
