Zhao Lan has been under the pressure of Zhao Rao all her life. Whether it was when Zhao Yong was there before or when the Fifth Prince ascended the throne, she seemed unable to dare to be in front of Zhao Rao no matter what she did. She was very unwilling.
When the late emperor was around, although Zhao Rao was alienated and indifferent to him, everyone could tell that the late emperor's favorite daughter was Zhao Rao, otherwise he would not tolerate her being so presumptuous, and even let her freely enter and leave the palace as she liked, other princesses The contact between the prince and the minister is to form a party for personal gain, but Zhao Rao bribed the minister without any scruples, and the emperor turned a blind eye to her, and what made Zhao Lan most resentful was that Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng teamed up to frame her mother and concubine .
Even if her mother and concubine did something wrong before, it's all over. Is the former queen a good person
The first emperor had always favored Zhao Rao, and even made the fifth prince the crown prince because Zhao Rao brought the fifth prince by his side, but so what? Isn't the Fifth Prince separated from Zhao Rao? If Cheng Zheng hadn't protected Zhao Rao and seized the Fifth Prince's throne for her, how would there be room for Zhao Rao to survive now
She thought that she would bow down to Zhao Rao for the rest of her life, but she never thought that Cheng Zheng would be killed by Lu Yaoyao, Lu Yaoyao is really her noble man!
Now that she has teamed up with the fifth prince's old department, she will force Zhao Rao to abdicate no matter what.
Zhao Rao looked at Zhao Lan who looked forward to, and the smile on his face became more and more indifferent.
"The choice you gave is to ask all the ministers to force me to abdicate?" Zhao Rao looked at Zhao Lan with a half-smile and asked.
"This throne doesn't belong to you in the first place." Zhao Lan said, "Now it's just returning to the original owner."
Zhao Rao smiled, "Is it the return of the property to its original owner, or do you, Zhao Lan, want to use someone else as a puppet?"
"Third princess, don't talk nonsense with him. We have already controlled the city gates in the southeast, northwest, and as long as we capture the palace, this witch must surrender." The third son-in-law said to Zhao Lan.
"It's still too late for you to surrender!" Zhao Lan said to Song Hongao and other ministers.
Zhao Xiang shouted, "Third Sister, do you know what you are doing? Don't retreat and get out of the way."
"I know exactly what I'm doing!" Zhao Lan said, "You are greedy for life and afraid of death and afraid of Zhao Rao, but I am not afraid. For the sake of the royal family's dignity, I must not let Zhao Rao bury Cheng Zheng in the imperial mausoleum today. It's also for the fifth prince, second sister, don't you think it's pitiful for the fifth brother to be locked up in the palace?"
"Are you for the fifth younger brother, or for yourself?" Zhao Xiang asked, "We all know it well."
Zhao Lan sneered, "It seems that you have been reused recently, so you have completely fallen for Zhao Rao."
"Third sister, don't make the same mistakes again and again!" Zhao Xiang frowned. She knew the hatred in Zhao Lan's heart very well. She probably thought that Zhao Rao had killed Concubine De and the Second Prince. It has nothing to do with His Majesty, you know that."
"I'm not here today for them, but for my fifth brother!" Zhao Lan shouted.
Zhao Rao looked up at Song Hongao, "You persuaded me to be tolerant in consideration of sisterhood, but now I can't even think about being tolerant."
Song Hongao glanced at Zhao Lan, and sighed helplessly in his heart. This scene was the last thing the late emperor wanted to see, but it happened anyway unexpectedly, "Please order, Your Majesty."
"What is the crime for forcing the palace to rebel?" Zhao Rao asked quietly.
"The crime should be punished by the nine clans." Song Hongao replied in a deep voice.
Zhao Rao looked at Zhao Lan indifferently, "Zhao Lan is my sister, if she is Zhu Jiu Clan, wouldn't I be implicated? Put Zhao Lan into the dungeon, I will decide later, as for the others... Zhu Jiu Clan No need, everyone who participated in today's palace will be killed on the spot."
Hearing Zhao Rao's still calm order, Zhao Lan suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness. For today's forced palace, she had secretly planned for a long time, and it was impossible for her to make a mistake. Why is Zhao Rao so calm? Shouldn't she be nervous
"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Hongao replied in a deep voice.
Zhao Lan and the third son-in-law looked at each other, and became even more suspicious of Zhao Rao's words.
"Ministers follow me to the main hall, and wait for the Marquis of Zhen Guo to eliminate the rebels before sending the Marquis of An Ning for a ride." Zhao Rao walked to the side of the coffin and put his hand on it gently, "I'm very angry that they want to mess up your last journey , It would be great if you were here, they must not dare to do this."
"Sister!" Zhao Xiang looked at her nervously.
Zhao Rao didn't look back at her, but walked straight to the main hall.
The other ministers looked at each other, glanced at Zhao Lan, turned around and left with Zhao Rao.
There is not only one empress in the world, the imperial concubine of the Yuan Kingdom is also a woman. For the past four years, Zhao Rao has treated his ministers politely and has not done anything stupid. Compared with the fifth prince's selfishness back then, so what if she is a woman? The most important thing is to restore Qi to its former prosperity.
"Don't regret it!" Zhao Lan looked at those ministers and gritted her teeth angrily. This was different from what she imagined. She thought that there must be ministers who were dissatisfied with Zhao Rao's ruling. Didn't they usually scold Zhao Rao behind his back? ? How come at the critical moment, everyone's jaw dropped, and they all turned against each other
"Third Princess, you shouldn't be in the palace today." Song Hongao looked at Zhao Lan calmly.
Zhao Lan said, "I'm not coercing the palace, I just want to set things right!"
Song Hongao shook his head and sighed, "You think you have controlled the city gate, but in fact General Huo can't bring troops to help you at all."
"What did you say?" Zhao Lan's face changed slightly.
"It's not without reason that Your Majesty has gained the late Emperor's trust and favor for so many years." Song Hongao said, "Your Majesty has long known about your every move."
"Third princess, don't listen to his nonsense, we are acting in secret, Zhao Rao can't find out." The third son-in-law immediately shouted.
Zhao Lan looked nervous, she was indeed a little worried, "Song Hongao, you don't need to say these words to confuse me."
"Since you don't believe me, then I can't help it." Song Hongao said, he raised his hand, "Take down the third princess and the third son-in-law."
"Rush into the palace and catch that demon girl Zhao Rao, and you will all be successful in the future!" The third son-in-law waved his arms, asking the soldiers behind him to rush into the palace.
Da da da-
Those soldiers were still dreaming of being prosperous and rich in the future, but neat rows of elite soldiers appeared behind them.
Under the sun, the armor of those soldiers shone with a cold luster.
Zhao Lan's complexion has changed drastically. How could the National Guard Army, which is hundreds of miles away, be here
"Put down your weapons and surrender." Song Hongao said, after all, today is Cheng Zheng's funeral, so it would be better if there was no blood.
"Everyone follow me to kill!" The third son-in-law roared angrily, since they are all dead anyway, it is better to fight to the death.
Zhao Lan stood in front of Song Hongao, looking in the direction of the palace sadly.
