Wen Ji had just returned from the Western Regions, and his family was reunited. He caught up with the New Year's Day of the ten-year anniversary of the reign of peace. What a good day. If the emperor hadn't been sick, Mr. Wen would have celebrated it very much. After all, at his age, even though he was in good health, he couldn't tell when it would be gone.

There is no way, and the passing years are not good, so they can only get together for a reunion dinner. Although it is not as lively as they imagined, they are all close relatives and family happiness, which is also excellent.

After drinking and eating, Lao Wen went to the study room, and Wen Jifu followed his father very well.

He incited the Khitans to advance westward, took the opportunity to destroy Seljuk, wipe out Eagle Fort, and march into India. His contributions, Wen Ji had just soared into the sky, and now he is a Pingzhang incident in the Western Regions Province and is the most popular candidate for the Minister of War.

The change of leadership is imminent, and he also returned to the capital.

The father and son sat down in the study. Before his son could speak, Lao Wen took out a handwritten order and stuffed it to Wen Jifu, signaling him to take a closer look.

Wen Jifu held it in his hand and looked carefully three times. His face was unstable. Finally, Wen Jifu put down his hand and coughed lightly.

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

Wen Yanbo snorted softly, "The country cannot be without a king for a day, what else can I do!"

"father!"

Wen Jifu stood up in shock, "Don't make mistakes, otherwise our family will be dead!"

Wen Yanbo was unmoved, "Now the emperor is seriously ill, and it is natural for the Empress Dowager to take care of the emperor. It is natural and Wang Ning'an can't stop him... But don't worry, my father will not take action easily. I have to wait. After waiting for one more day, Wang Ning'an's reputation for being loyal. When his father is sure to win, he will lead the Political Consultative Conference and make a fatal blow!"

Lao Wen stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, full of fighting spirit.

"How many years have passed! Wang Ning'an bullied me several times and regarded me as a puppet. This time, my husband's chance to take revenge has come. I must make him suffer, be unlucky, and collapse! Revenge the humiliating revenge over the years!"

The more he spoke, he became more and more excited, but Wen Jifu's face became darker and his hands were trembling.

"My real father! If you do this, your son will have to immediately cut off the father-son relationship with you!" Wen Jifu said seriously.

"What?" Lao Wen jumped up, "You are crazy! What a mess! Your father is so old, it's not for you!"

"You are dying sooner for us!"

Wen Jifu ignored anything, and reached out to pull his father aside.

"Dad, do you know how powerful Your Majesty has?"

Wen Yanbo was impatient, "You boy just say whatever you want, don't go around the circle with me. Your father eats more salt than you eat, and you won't scare me!"

Wen Jifu had to take a deep breath and try to calm his mood.

"Dad, I have to say that in recent years, Your Majesty personally led the troops and led the team to charge, attacked and defeated them invincible! Sweep the Khitan, Seljuk, and Tianzhu! More than 70% of the soldiers in the army are willing to work hard for Your Majesty! Who can afford this force!"

Lao Wen is familiar with the officialdom, the business circle, the financial power, and even the power of the New Politics Society. But there is only one circle that cannot be fought in, that is, the army, and he knows the least about the situation in the army. "Don't talk nonsense. Although I have always suppressed military men in the Song Dynasty, there are many soldiers who have only recognized their superiors and do not recognize the emperor. I don't believe that His Majesty has such great prestige. He has only led the army for a few years. Do you think that a father is a three-year-old child?"

Wen Jifu was sweating in his forehead. Fortunately, he came back, otherwise his father would have a dead end if he misjudged the matter.

"Dad, listen to me. Although Your Majesty has not been leading troops for a long time, he has studied royal martial arts since he was a child. In short, it has been more than ten years. In the past twenty years, His Majesty's seniors and younger brothers are now in the army and hold important positions. They are loyal and have no doubts at all..."

Wen Jifu talked endlessly, telling Lao Wen about what he saw and heard.

In fact, as early as ten years ago, Wang Ning'an successively suppressed the aristocratic families, including the Wang family army, the Zhong family army, and the Zhe family army, all of which were disbanded and reorganized the army.

Many people think that Wang Ning'an will leave his own power in the army and even take the huge army for himself. In fact, this is not the case.

Wang Ning'an promoted military education and reformed the officer training system.

The first lesson of every officer who learned from royal martial arts is to be loyal to the emperor. They have their own responsibilities, and the army is the pillar of the Song Dynasty.

They will not interfere in the government affairs easily, but I'm sorry, who dares to touch the emperor and overcome the bottom line of endurance in the army, these people must work hard.

This kind of loyalty is not only a rule or system, but also a result of Zhao Shu. He personally led the army several times, shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and fought together. This is amazing. The general had the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor in his mind. After personally contacting the emperor, he quickly took root and sprouted, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and was unshakable!

"So, our Majesty's influence in the army is even greater than that of Wang Ning'an?" Lao Wen said disbelief.

Wen Jifu smiled bitterly, "Dad, the power of King Yan is of course unfathomable, but he cannot be put on the table. Your Majesty wins over the hearts of the people. Only Your Majesty's orders are yours. Dad, who dares to compete with His Majesty in this power?"

Lao Wen finally calmed down. He slowly reached out and held Empress Dowager Cao's handwriting in his hand. From beginning to end, one word at a time, looking carefully... After Empress Dowager Cao was blocked, she was furious. She knew that she could not speak alone and was eager to win over various forces. Among them, Wen Yanbo, who was in charge of the Political Consultative Conference, was the help she wanted most.

In the edict, Empress Dowager Cao mentioned that Wang Ning'an imprisoned the emperor and made a ill-intentioned plan. He asked Mr. Wen to help the country and rescue His Majesty back to the palace...

Of course, Lao Wen understood Empress Dowager Cao’s thoughts. He carefully calculated and found that this matter was really profitable.

First of all, Wang Ning'an was a minister and Empress Dowager Cao was a king. Wang Ning'an suffered a loss. Empress Dowager Cao was the emperor's biological mother again. The emperor was sick. She asked to take care of the emperor and welcome the emperor back to the palace. It was natural and no one could say anything.

Wang Ning'an blocked Empress Dowager Cao, and ignored the rule of the king and his subjects, and was to alienate the mother-son family relationship.

No matter what happens, Wang Ning'an ignores it when he says it.

Since Wang Ning'an ignored him, he held the political meeting and could join forces with Empress Dowager Cao under the banner of the people, relying on the name of great righteousness to attack Wang Ning'an.

Wen Yanbo has calculated carefully that his chances of winning are quite good.

After being bullied by Wang Ning'an for so many years, Mr. Wen is also full of resentment. As long as he has the chance, he wants to step on Wang Ning'an.

But after listening to his son's analysis, Lao Wen felt a little disappointed.

He didn't take Zhao Shu seriously before, thinking that he was a young emperor, and he had a baby. Without Wang Ning'an, he would be nothing. After his son said that, Lao Wen suddenly felt that Zhao Shu was even more difficult than Wang Ning'an.

The emperor was originally a demigod, and Zhao Shu worked diligently, personally led the troops to fight, fought so many victories, expanded the territory, and made unparalleled contributions.

The common people and ordinary soldiers will not pay attention to how much the King of Yan has done secretly, nor will they care about how much effort the imperial magistrate has put in. They only know that Your Majesty is the commander of the three armies, Your Majesty will fight in person, Your Majesty will be invincible!

That's enough!

To be honest, Zhao Shu is definitely the most popular emperor since the founding of the Song Dynasty. He enjoys amazing prestige. The deeper this prestige goes into the people and the deeper it goes into the people's soldiers, the stronger it becomes.

Wang Ning'an has high-end combat power, while Zhao Shu controls the morale of the people. When these two forces are combined, the so-called advantage of Empress Dowager Cao is simply a mirror and is not worth mentioning!

"Dad, if you really force the palace and want to steal His Majesty in your hand, even if Wang Ning'an lets go, the generals of the Imperial Army will not agree... I might as well tell my father another thing. I came back after receiving a letter from Murong Qingchen!"

"ah!"

Lao Wen's face turned pale in an instant, "Why, the army moved?"

"Um!"

Wen Jifu said bluntly: "The Prince of Yan Wang Zonghan has returned. He is His Majesty's most trusted confidant and the deputy commander of the Young Officers' Corps among the Imperial Guards."

"Deputy Commander? That Commander?"

"It's Your Majesty!"

"ah!"

Lao Wen almost lay down, don’t bring such a scary person, Zhao Shu, are you crazy? If you don’t want to be the emperor, why are you going to be the leader? Are you twitching your head?

Wen Jifu ignored his father's surprise and continued, "Your Majesty suddenly fell into the water. The news has spread. Now many people in the imperial guards think that the civil officials are unfaithful and want to frame the emperor! Since the civil officials are not trustworthy, they must dispatch to defend His Majesty the Emperor! Defend the Song Dynasty! Now the Liaodong Province, the Western Regions, the former Seljuk, as well as the Tianzhu, Fusang, Bohai, Jiaozhi, Lingnan... The garrisons from all over the country have been moved. I can also tell my father, the Privy Council, the General Staff, the Ministry of War, the Royal Martial Arts Academy... These forces are gathering quickly. Go and rob Your Majesty. If you dare to take action, it will be a war of war. Hundreds of thousands of imperial guards and countless border troops. They can tear all the imperial court into pieces!"

"How dare they?" Lao Wen asked in surprise.

"What's there anything you dare not? You can even kill the lord and father. Are you not allowed to advise the soldiers?" Wen Jifu said disdainfully.

Having said this, Lao Wen was completely stunned.

He was silent for a long time, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. After a long time, Wen Yanbo suddenly grinned and burst into tears.

Wen Jifu was so angry that he became a father!

"Dad, are you okay?"

"What's wrong with me!" Lao Wen said angrily: "I'm happy! So happy!"

Wen Jifu's face turned dark, but his father was still crazy, and he was very crazy!

Wen Yanbo was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he turned Empress Dowager Cao's handwriting in his hand. After a while, he finally showed a fox-like expression.

"If you want to reply to the Queen Mother for your father, Wen Yanbo will follow his horse's lead!"

"ah!"

Wen Jifu was stunned for a second, and suddenly exclaimed, "Dad, are you going to sell Empress Dowager Cao?"

"Don't say it so badly! Your father is loyal and can be seen every day. I am supporting the country and interfering in politics in the harem. This is a taboo in all dynasties. As an important minister of the court, he shoulders the hopes of the world. If you cannot help the righteous and eliminate evil, you might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill him!"

...

Wen Jifu shook his head, and had no choice but to come out of the study room, and when he looked up, he saw Gou Yaer sitting there in blue clothes.

"How is it, your father isn't confused?"

Wen Jifu shook his head quickly, "My father is sincere in planning the country and must stand on His Majesty's side."

Gouyaer smiled and shook his sleeves, got up and left, walked to the door, turned around and said, "I don't expect Mr. Wen to be a gentleman, I just hope he will be a smart person! Empress Dowager Cao will attack tomorrow. I will wait and see, waiting to see Mr. Wen's performance!"
