Zhao Huan's unconventional behavior not only stunned the peace negotiators, but also Li Gang, Li Ruobing and others from the main war faction.

But Li Ruobing reacted very quickly. While the cowards of the peace negotiation faction in the Zichen Palace were still in a state of confusion, Li Ruobing hurriedly bowed and worshiped: "The official sage!"

As soon as Li Ruobing expressed his stance, Li Gang, He Guan and others from the main war faction also reacted, and then they all bowed and worshiped: "The official sage!"

Zhang Bangchang glanced around, wondering whether he should second or object, but Wu Min, one of the young masters, stood up and said loudly: "I object!"

"The officials had palm thunders, hot air balloons and other magical weapons but did not activate them. They did not rush to make them until the Jin soldiers came to the city. At that time, Li Shaozai's words were not wrong. This is one of the reasons."

Wu Min bowed to Empress Dowager Meng behind the bead curtain, and then continued: "The emperor is the biological father of the official family. Now the emperor wants to release Li Shaozai, but the Queen Mother said that the official family left an edict to kill Li Shaozai. This move will put the emperor on the throne."

Where is the relationship between the father and son of the official family? This is the second one."

"Is there a third reason? There was no edict before the official army was sent out, but now the Ai family has issued such an edict."

Before Wu Min finished speaking, Empress Dowager Meng behind the beaded curtain directly pointed the finger at Wu Min: "Does Wu Shaozai think that the Ai family is acting like an imperial edict?"

"I don't dare!"

Empress Dowager Meng used her strength to resist, so Wu Min had no choice but to bow down and admit her mistake, but there was no hint of admission in her tone: "Of course I don't dare to doubt the Empress Dowager.

However, now the emperor wants to release people, but the officials want to kill people. The two decrees are completely opposite. I think it is better to wait for the officials and the emperor to return to Bianjing before discussing."

"Why."

Empress Dowager Meng sighed inaudibly, and couldn't help but think of what Zhao Huan said to her before setting off.

"Most of the people in the court are unreliable, because whether they are nephews, emperors, or emperors of Liao and Jin, they are needed to rule the world, so they have nothing to fear.

When my nephew was in the capital, he was able to overpower them. Now that my nephew has led his troops to conquer Taiyuan, I am afraid that the emperor will not be willing to give in. There should also be many people in the court who are dissatisfied with my nephew.

However, their willingness to jump at this time is in line with my nephew's wishes. He also takes this opportunity to see more clearly and deal with it if it is discovered early to avoid causing trouble in the future."

Empress Dowager Meng remembered very clearly how frightening the impatient taunts on the officials’ faces and the sneers at the corners of their mouths were!

It is precisely because of this that Empress Dowager Meng has now begun to doubt how stupid these people in the court can be——

Judging from the emperor's temperament of forgetting his righteousness for small gains, cherishing his life for big things, and easily retreating from difficulties, as long as the officials are tougher, the emperor can only be the emperor. Even if he is unwilling to do so, he will not

What kind of storm will it cause again?

This is a consistent fault of the Zhao family emperor and cannot be changed.

At that time, how will these people who are now jumping out to support the emperor in the court face the current officials?

If the Guan family was defeated in Taiyuan, it would be fine. If the Guan family continued to win a great victory in Taiyuan, or even just a tie, none of the people who jumped out in the court today would be able to get a good deal!

But to say that the official family might be defeated in Taiyuan City, Queen Mother Meng was the first to not believe it——

When Wanyan Zongwang's troops besieged Bianjing, it was clear that he was destined to die. Didn't the current officials turn the danger into danger and Wanyan Zongwang ended up rushing north in a hurry?

And in order to prevent these bureaucrats in the court, who the officials call "pig teammates" from secretly causing trouble, the officials not only brought a large amount of equipment, but also directly issued the order to prepare food and grass long before the expedition.

In every state and county it passes through, there is no need to transport grain and grass from behind.

In order to prevent that coward Zhao Jixiang from jumping out and causing trouble, the officials not only invited themselves to listen to the affairs behind the curtain, but also promoted a large number of officials to the front line, and at the same time handed over the military power in Bianjing City to He Guan.

While leaving Li Gang, the Grand Prime Minister, and Wang Zonglio, the Palace Commander, to secretly check and balance He Guan, the officials also took He Ji, who was in charge of the Imperial City Department, to Taiyuan.

Even Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou, who could really be used by Zhao Jixiang, were brought there together.

Even if we take a step back, even if Zhao Jixiang really runs back to Bianjing, will those officials who were promoted by Zhao Huan be willing to follow Zhao Jixiang to cause trouble?

If Zhao Jixiang, who has a lot of unresolved internal problems, wants to bribe these people to solve the problem, can he bribe everyone? Can he afford that price?

In particular, He Guan, who was promoted to Tongzhi Privy Councilor and controlled most of the military power in Bianjing but his son was in the hands of officials, Li Gang and Li Ruobing, who were in charge of the battle themselves, and Wang Zongli, who was in conflict with Gao Qiu's front division commander.

, will they turn to Zhao Jixiang?

Thinking of these messy things in her mind, Queen Mother Meng couldn't help but shook her head slightly, and then turned to Wu Min and said: "Whether Wu Shaozai dares or not, it doesn't matter. After all, this edict is not for you Wu Shaozai."

."

After saying that, Empress Dowager Meng ignored Wu Min who looked confused, and then said to Wang Zongliu, the commander of the front department: "This decree is for the front department. Commander Wang can recognize the official's handwriting.

, you can tell at a glance whether it is a false edict or not."

Wang Zonglio, who had been secretly educated by Zhao Huan countless times, naturally knew whether the edict was true or false.

When Zhao Huan wrote this edict, Wang Zonglio was watching from the side in order to deal with a situation similar to today!

Wang Zonglio even knew clearly that the edict left by Zhao Huan was not one or two copies at all, but many copies, including one for canonizing the eldest son of the emperor as the prince!

Of course, acting still requires a complete performance. If you can stand in the Zichen Palace, no one's acting skills are not up to par——

It can even be said unceremoniously that any official with a job in the Zichen Palace knows better about acting than the treacherous president of Zishan!

Carefully taking the imperial edict written by Zhao Huan from Li Gang's hand, after looking at it carefully for a long time, Wang Zongli bowed and said: "Quizui Queen Mother, this edict is indeed written by the official's hand. There is no way that I can make a mistake."

Recognize the official’s handwriting.”

Empress Dowager Meng hummed and ignored the ministers in the palace. Instead, she directly ordered Wang Zonglio: "Since Wang Qing can confirm it, is Wang Qing following the imperial edict? Or is he resisting the imperial edict like Wu Shaozai?"

"Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief in front of the Palace, Wang Zonglio, has received the imperial edict!"

Holding the imperial edict in both hands and raising it above his head, Wang Zonglio bowed to the beaded curtain behind the dragon chair and said, "I am a minister of the Song Dynasty. I dare not violate the official decree!"

"In this case, Wang Qing can act according to the imperial edict."

Empress Dowager Meng stood up from the chair, glanced at Wu Min, who was blushing, and then glanced at the ministers in the palace, and then said: "They say that the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son, if you can even look at this

I don’t understand, and I don’t know what sages’ books I have read? Retreat from the court.”

…

"You bullied me too much! How dare he! How dare he!"

The fine celadon cup was smashed to pieces, but Zhao Jixiang didn't feel any distress at all: "He is disobedient and unfilial! He is a traitor! He is a traitor!"

Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, who rushed to Bozhou in a hurry, both lowered their heads tightly, and no one spoke to persuade them.

The emperor's order to release Li Bangyan sank to the bottom without even making waves, and even became a reminder for Li Bangyan and others——

Originally, what was said today was to ask the queen to be beheaded, but as soon as the emperor's order arrived in the capital, Li Bangyan and others were directly slaughtered. The hanged Li Chuan did not even leave a complete body as imagined.

Instead, it was spread throughout the towns.

This situation is equivalent to Zhao Jixiang feeling uncomfortable after being slapped on the left side of his face, and he has to slap the other half of his face on the right side as well.

"What did Taiyuan say?"

Sitting back on the chair angrily, Zhao Jixiang said: "What do the people in Taiyuan and Jin say about food, grass, supplies?"

"Go back to the official's house,"

Tong Guan bowed and said: "Before the current expedition, we issued an edict to the counties and counties along the way to collect food and grass. Bows and arrows and other items were drawn from Bianjing City, and there was no need to resupply along the way.

On the other side of Taiyuan and the Kingdom of Jin, because Lao Nu’s men have to avoid the official army, they haven’t come back yet, and Lao Nu doesn’t know what to do.”

"Send someone over again!"

Zhao Jixiang said angrily: "Doesn't the Kingdom of Jin just want annual coins? I'll give it to him! If it doesn't work, I will cede all three towns in Hebei to him!"

"Official family?"

Quietly raising his head and looking at Zhao Jixiang, Tong Guan cautiously probed: "The Imperial College student Chen Dong organized a large number of Imperial College students to jointly submit a letter, demanding that Cai Jing, Li Bangyan and others be killed today. If the officials request to personally conquer the state capitals along the way, they will not be allowed to do so."

Prepare food and grass, are you afraid those students will talk nonsense again?

In addition, the Jin people's request for three towns in Hebei has long been spread in Bianjing. Today, Wanyan Zonghan's troops who are besieging Taiyuan are personally conquering Taiyuan. In Bianjing city, not only are there many good family members who bring their own dry food to join the army, but there are also many gentry who donate money to help the army.

If the official family agrees to the Jin's conditions at this time, I'm afraid there will really be an uproar?"

"boom!"

Another fine celadon cup was shattered into pieces. Zhao Jixiang's face became distorted: "You mean, I still have no way to deal with him. I can only watch him solve the siege of Taiyuan, and then

Are you going to watch him return to Bianjing again?"

"Actually, that's not necessarily the case."

Gao Qiu frowned and said: "When marching and fighting, the most fearful thing is to send orders out of many places.

Before the current expedition, I said that I would not give the formation map. If those generals have the formation map in their hands, I am afraid..."

"Come on, what the captain said is absolutely true."

Tong Guan secretly resented Gao Qiu's meddling, but on the surface he could not get angry. Instead, he said with a smile: "It's just that we have already said that we won't give you the formation map, so what's the use of the captain's method? Even if we give it, will they listen?"
