It is not difficult to guess that King Rong is going to rebel. Doesn't Zhao Hong know that sometimes he is too defensive and makes people suspicious.
Are you so on guard, for fear that others will not know that you are going to do something bad
Moreover, although the spies of the Hou's mansion could not get close to Zhao Hong, Song Jing's every move could still show it.
Song Jing heard the imperial decree and was packing up her belongings at the beginning, preparing to go to the fiefdom.
I only brought chicken soup into the study once, and stayed for a long time before coming out, and I was often restless in the following days.
In this way, you can tell others that the lord was pulling the wangfei and those staff members to discuss poetry, singing and painting in the study. The reason why the wangfei was upset afterwards was because she was too happy, who would believe it? Who will write a letter
Coupled with the imminent movement in the capital, is it true that the current emperor is a fool
Tang Lihua found it ridiculous. From the perspective of God, what the hero Zhao Hong did, what he thought was a clever plan, looked like a joke.
The emperor has been in power for more than dozens of years, and his control over the capital is not to say impregnable, but if any one person can take his throne, if the rebellion succeeds, he, the emperor, will be gone long ago.
Obviously in the plot of the novel, Zhao Hong is quite a normal person, he has his own plans, and after becoming the emperor, he didn't make any big mistakes.
Why as long as he has a little bit of butterfly wings, his road will be smoother than before.
Without the empress dowager's attention, and completely disappointed the emperor, he lost his head.
At this time, no matter what your thoughts are, you should return to your fief honestly, keep a low profile, and slowly grow your power. When the time comes, no matter the current emperor or the new emperor on the throne, you can plan slowly and fight hard. fight.
Now that you have already entered the emperor's small book, the emperor knows that you are dishonest, and he will definitely not think that you are going to fief, so he is relieved.
On the contrary, this time should be the time when the surveillance is even stricter. They don't know what it means to sneak into a warehouse. There is basically no suspense about this conspiracy.
Tang Lihua was indifferent, but she could probably guess which forces Zhao Hong would use. The first was Zhang Wenshan, Minister of Rites who had correspondence with Tang Lihua.
Even though Zhang Wenshan is just a minister of the Ministry of Rites, his son-in-law is the commander of the imperial guards, and the entire capital city is under his jurisdiction.
The letter that Zhang Wenshan learned of the real cause of his second daughter's death was sent to him by Tang Lihua.
In fact, Tang Lihua didn't expect Zhao Hong to be so cruel. When she knew, Zhao Hong had already poisoned the poor girl, and Tang Lihua was helpless.
Tang Lihua, who originally didn't want to just want to watch the show, thought for the first time that she didn't want to make Zhao Hong feel better.
So Tang Lihua passed on the letter with a very simple purpose, just to see the attitude of the Minister of Rites. If they don't love their daughter, then no matter how much Tang Lihua does, it will be useless.
But in the end, Tang Lihua was still satisfied. After the next few trials, Zhang Wenshan thought that Tang Lihua belonged to the eldest prince, so he only cautiously revealed that he would avenge his daughter, only let the eldest prince succeed in his career, and allowed him to sue for old age. Township.
After that, Zhang Wenshan rushed to the forefront as the Three Princes' Party in the imperial court, which was instructed by Tang Lihua.
This is to gain the trust of the third prince and break into the inner layer.
Then remind the third prince inadvertently that his son-in-law is the leader of the imperial guards.
Time is running out, and the third prince needs manpower if he wants to rebel, and the imperial guards are undoubtedly the best candidates. If the imperial guards can really be used by him, then the victory rate of this incident will be at least increased by several layers.
Zhang Wenshan showed his greed in a timely manner, expressing that he had something to ask, and he wanted the Zhang family to be the mother family of the princess forever.
Zhao Hong agreed, not dissatisfied, but very satisfied.
If he can ascend the throne, Song Jing will definitely be the queen. Although the queen's mother family has no relatives, he will be promoted, just for the queen's face.
Zhang Wenshan gained Zhao Hong's trust, but it was impossible for Zhao Hong to tell Zhang Wenshan everything about such a major event. He didn't even say when to do it or what plan to do, and only let Zhang Wenshan wait for the signal.
This is Zhang Wenshan's arrangement here, as well as Zhao Hong's own guard. Now that he is a prince, he can openly recruit his own guard. Although it cannot exceed 50 people, at important moments, these 50 people, Still somewhat useful.
In particular, these fifty people were all replaced by dead soldiers raised by themselves.
On the last day of King Rong's departure from Beijing, the queen in the palace proposed to go to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors. It was already the day to go to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors every year.
Now that he has a family, he should let the gangsters see.
The empress dowager loved the third prince in the past, and she couldn't bear to say this, so she agreed with the empress's words and told the emperor that night.
The emperor orally ordered Rong Wang to stay in the capital for a few more days, and then go to the imperial concubine after worshiping the ancestors in the Taimiao.
King Rong received the order and took the princess to buy a lot of things in Baiyu Tower the next day. He looked very relaxed, really like an idle prince.
The Taimiao is on Wuyi Mountain outside the capital city, and the ancestor worship is accompanied by a group of masters, the emperor, concubine Xiao Gui, and several princes.
Just before the trip, the queen mother suffered another headache, so she could only be kept in the palace, and she was absent from the trip to the Taimiao.
A mighty team went out of the capital. Besides the royal family, they were accompanied by officials from the imperial court, including Marquis Ning Yuan.
When the emperor went out, he was accompanied by all the civil and military officials, and there were guards in the capital.
The emperor was worried about King Rong, and he was also worried about his eldest son who was ambitious for the throne.
So before leaving, the fifth prince was left in charge of the imperial city, and with the empress dowager, the emperor was at ease.
Ever since the emperor left the capital, Tang Lihua ordered the Hou's mansion to be closed, and no one was allowed to leave the mansion.
The ingredients in the mansion had been fully prepared a few days ago, enough for the master and servants of the mansion to eat for five days.
Tang Lihua also ordered the guards in the mansion to guard all the front and back doors, not allowed to go out or enter.
I only told my servants that the old lady is afraid that there will be no guards in the capital, and it is better to be cautious when the young people come to the door. When the emperor comes back, the ban can be lifted.
The servants dare not say anything, they can only insist.
Now the Hou's mansion is in charge of the second house, Hu Shi. Every time she is the housekeeper, she will specially call Gong Liangyuan and Gong Liangqin to teach them how to manage things.
Tang Lihua didn't stop her either, Hu was a sensible person, Tang Lihua was satisfied with her, and she didn't know how much better she was compared to Sun.
Tang Lihua made all the preparations in the Hou's Mansion, but unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager's palace came to order Tang Lihua to enter the palace.
After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager should have been prepared. Tang Lihua ordered Gong Liangxuan to guard the Hou's Mansion, and followed the servants into an inconspicuous carriage, finally entered the palace gate, and went directly to the Empress Dowager's Palace.
Sure enough, as Tang Lihua guessed, the queen mother was safe and sound, and the excuse for illness was just an excuse.
"Come on, sit down." The queen mother said directly when she saw Tang Lihua, and then sighed.
"An Ding can still remember decades ago, just like today, you and I..." The queen mother recalled the past.
Tang Lihua really got it out of the original body's memory, the queen mother wanted to say something.
Decades ago, when the emperor was still the prince, the queen mother was the queen.
The difference from now is that the first emperor took the princes and ministers to hunt in the paddock instead of going to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors.
The same thing is, that day was also the day when the situation in Beijing changed suddenly.
The original body and the empress dowager were trapped in the palace, but the first emperor had already prepared for it, and he was not harmed in that turmoil, but the first emperor took this opportunity to depose and imprison the ambitious prince.
In the end, only the emperor, who was the tenth prince, and the fifteenth and seventeenth princes, who were still in their infancy, were left.
The first emperor was not in good health, and this turmoil also made his blood surge. The betrayal of his sons, no matter how iron-blooded their wrists were, the one who should be hit still got hit.
The first emperor passed on the throne to the ten princes, who is the current emperor.
But now, the queen mother and Tang Lihua knew it well, and someone else was thinking about it.
Tang Lihua was silent and did not interrupt the Queen Mother's memory.
"I thought the third child had the best temperament, and it was the eldest who couldn't bear it first. Now it seems that I am old and I am not sure about people." The queen mother sighed.
Tang Lihua bent down, "The queen mother may not know people well, but the third prince is your grandson, so she trusts too much."
The queen mother looked tired, "Forget it, just wait with Aijia for An Ding, Aijia only hopes that he will not disappoint Aijia."
After hearing a muffled sound in the air, Tang Lihua knew that the Queen Mother's expectation was doomed to fail.
Not long after, the servant rushed in, "Reporting to the queen mother, a guard with a knife broke into the harem, please ask the queen mother to take refuge with the slaves."
The servant broke out in a cold sweat. He just had a quick glance, and there were already maids and eunuchs in the palace who had died under their swords.
In the current situation, if someone broke into the harem, he didn't need to think about it, but he knew that something was wrong.
The queen mother swept away the old man who was worried about Sun just now, stood up and waved her sleeves. She has been pampered for many years, and the aura of being at a high place burst out, "Hmph, so what if you have a knife. Ai's family is the queen mother, how can you be afraid of him?" ?”
The servant was shocked, and his whole body was subdued to the ground, not daring to raise his head, trembling.
Tang Lihua stepped forward and stretched out her hand, the queen mother took her hand, and the two walked out of the hall, followed by the palace people behind.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were full of anger, "After all, Ai Jia thought highly of him. If he is so ignorant of the general rule, will it be so easy to be the emperor in the future?"
This anger was aimed at the King Rong who launched the coup, and the ancestor worship at the Taimiao was deliberately caused by the third prince and the empress.
And the queen mother and the emperor are not just planning, they just want to see what King Rong can do.
There is not even a bit of suspense in a battle that is doomed to fail.
Just after walking out of the palace gate, a group of guards with knives came straight to this side. The knives in their hands were still dripping with blood, which showed that they had killed someone just now.
The few people were timid and were already trembling with fright.
When it was in danger, the ladies behind her stepped forward and used their bodies to block the Empress Dowager and Tang Lihua. In this situation, they would rather die by themselves than protect their master's life.
"The Empress Dowager, the Eldest Princess, hurry up and enter the house, the servants will stop them." A big court lady said anxiously.
The Empress Dowager didn't seem to have heard of them, seeing them getting closer, the grand maid pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and was about to rush over.
However, the leader put down the knife in his hand and knelt down, "Your subordinates will see the Queen Mother, and you must die for disturbing the Queen Mother."
The queen mother nodded, "Protect the palace, those who are blind and have other thoughts, drag them elsewhere and kill them."
"Your subordinate obeys orders." The orderly voice made a group of precarious palace people unable to recover. What is going on here
