Zhao Yingluo lay on the delicate bed, and the brocade quilt gently covered her slender figure. Her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of pain appeared on her jade-like face, and the wound on her right shoulder seemed to still ache, constantly reminding her of the thrilling assassination.

She couldn't help but feel a wave of resentment in her heart, her father was really confused this time, how could he so rashly hand over the power of the court to the imperial brother for the time being? Isn't this an obvious opportunity for those with bad intentions?

However, complaining is complaining, and Zhao Yingluo knows that the most important thing now is how to deal with the situation in front of her.

Although she is a princess, she is now injured, and she needs at least ten days to calm down and recuperate before she can return to the court.

In the past ten days, there must be turmoil in the court, and she must plan a countermeasure in advance.

"Wang Shouen." Zhao Yingluo called softly.

Wang Shouen, who had been waiting beside him, immediately stepped forward when he heard the voice, bowed down and said, "What does the princess command?" ”

"Has Wen Boyuan ever been replaced?"

Wang Shouen shook his head and said, "Back to the princess, it has not been replaced." Wen Boyuan is still the commander of the palace. ”

Zhao Yingluo's heart was relieved, as long as the military power was still in the hands of Wen Boyuan, then she would have a chance to turn the tables.

"Pass on the order of the palace, and order Wen Boyuan to secretly and strictly check the entry and exit personnel of Kaifeng City, the Imperial Palace and King Kang's Mansion, and once a suspicious person is found to be out of the city to transfer troops, he will immediately take it down for interrogation. If anyone dares to disobey the order, they will be killed! Although Zhao Yingluo's voice was weak, it exuded a fierce murderous aura.

"In addition, if the imperial brother issues an edict asking Wen Boyuan to hand over the command, you tell him not to hand it over. The main palace has its own arrangements. Zhao Yingluo added, a sly glint flashing in her eyes, and she obviously had a plan to deal with it.

"The slave and maid understand." Wang Shouen nodded in response

"You immediately go out of the city to the town in the north of the city to spread the order of the main palace, so that the 100,000 private soldiers of the main palace are ready to stand by at all times. Once there is a change in the city, immediately enter the city Qin King. ”

She knew that her private soldiers were her last hole cards, and she couldn't use them easily until she had to.

But now that the situation in the court is unpredictable, she must prepare for the worst.

Wang Shouen took the order and left, Zhao Yingluo lay on the bed, looking at the sky outside the window that was gradually darkening, but her heart was clear.

She knows the days ahead are going to be tough, but she's confident she can win it.

When night fell, there was silence in Kaifeng City. Pedestrians on the streets had long since returned home, and only the occasional barking of dogs broke the silence.

Wang Shouen shuttled through the dark alleys, his figure fluttering like a ghost.

He came to a hidden mansion and knocked softly on the door.

A moment later, a faint glow came through the crack in the door, and then the door slowly opened. A figure dressed in black appeared at the door, it was Wen Boyuan.

The two looked at each other, and they both knew each other's intentions in their hearts.

Wang Shouen whispered Zhao Yingluo's instructions to Wen Boyuan, and Wen Boyuan nodded in understanding.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, go back and tell the princess, I will definitely handle this matter." ”

Wang Shouen nodded in agreement, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Wen Boyuan stood at the door, looking at the sky in the distance, this battle in the court had just begun, and he had to win!

Zhao Gou knew that his sister Zhao Yingluo was not an easy character to deal with.

She is smart, decisive, has the means, and more importantly, she also holds military power in her hands.

Therefore, Zhao Gou dismissed Zhu Shengfei from his position as a privy envoy on the day of the temporary administration of the dynasty in order to weaken Zhao Yingluo's influence in the army.

However, he also knew the importance of the position of commander in front of the palace, but there was no suitable person to replace Wen Boyuan's position now, so he was not in a hurry to remove Wen Boyuan.

And Zhao Gou also knew that Zhao Yingluo would definitely make a move against Wen Boyuan, so he had to be cautious.

On the second day, above the court, Zhao Gou sat on the dragon chair, his eyes swept over His Royal Highness's ministers, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

On the day of the temporary administration of the court, most of the courtiers in the court have become his confidants, and most of the officials standing under His Royal Highness at this moment are officials who bow down to him and obey his orders.

However, when his gaze fell on the position that should have belonged to Wen Boyuan, the commander of the palace in front of the palace, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart.

Wen Boyuan did not go to court, which was an extremely rare thing in the past.

Zhao Gou frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his heart, but he quickly covered it up.

He coughed lightly and asked, "Qin Qing, the position of commander in front of the palace is planning to be replaced, I don't know who you recommend?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Hui stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Emperor Qiqi, there is a candidate for the minister, who is worthy of this position." ”

"Oh? Who is it? Zhao Gou asked with interest.

"The minister Baoju Liu Guangshi, who had served as the commander of the palace earlier. Later, for some reason, Her Royal Highness the princess was demoted to Shudi, and now it is the time to employ people, Your Majesty may wish to recall it and entrust it with important tasks. ”

Qin Hui said slowly, with a hint of cunning in his tone.

Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard this, and Liu Guangshi was quite prestigious in the army. If he can be recalled and entrusted with important tasks, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.

"Good! According to Qin Qing's words, he immediately ordered someone to draft an edict and go to Shu to recall Liu Guangshi. Zhao Gou said decisively.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "Too Emperor and slow!" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see an official walking out of the crowd, it was Zhang Jun, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. He walked to the front of the hall with a solemn expression, bowed and saluted: "The Emperor, the minister has a plan to play." ”

Zhao Gou frowned, a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said patiently: "What is Deputy Envoy Zhang's performance?" ”

"Emperor Taishang, the minister thinks that it is not a wise move to recall Liu Guangshi at this time."

Zhang Jun said in a deep voice, "Although Liu Guangshi once served as the commander of the palace capital, he has been demoted to Shu for several years, and he is already unfamiliar with the situation between the DPRK and China. And its temperament is irritable and difficult to control, if it is rashly recalled and entrusted with important tasks, it is afraid that something will happen. ”

When Zhao Gou heard this, his face suddenly sank. He looked at Zhang Jun coldly, and a wave of anger surged in his heart.

He knew that Zhang Jun was one of Zhao Yingluo's henchmen, and he stood up against him at this moment, obviously at the behest of Zhao Yingluo.

However, just when Zhao Gou was about to attack, Qin Hui suddenly spoke: "What Deputy Envoy Zhang said is not true. Although Liu Guangshi was relegated to Shu for several years, his prestige and experience were still there. And his temperament is strong, loyal and reliable, and he is exactly the person His Majesty needs. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and bowed to Zhao Gou and said, "The Emperor Taishang is discerning, wise and martial, and will definitely be able to recognize Liu Guangshi's loyalty and talent. The minister is willing to guarantee with his life, Liu Guangshi will live up to the expectations of the emperor! ”

Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay! With Qin Qing's words, I am relieved! Immediately ordered someone to draft an edict and go to Shu to recall Liu Guangshi! ”
