"Why did Kou Qing's family say this? Muskets and artillery are weapons of destruction, what does this palace want them to do? ”

Empress Cao exclaimed.

Kou Ji said coldly: "If Niangniang takes it and hands it over within three days, I can not blame the past." ”

Empress Cao's face changed, stared at Kou Ji and gritted her teeth and said: "Kou Qing's family, this palace knows that you are in a high position, and this palace also knows that you are deeply favored by the official family. But that doesn't mean you can bully this palace! ”

Kou Ji glanced at Empress Cao coldly, flicked his sleeves and left Yanfu Palace.

Empress Cao's face turned blue and white for a while.

Even Zhao Zhen had never given her such a look.

Kou Ji is in a hurry.

Koji also went too far.

Empress Cao gritted her teeth and felt the need to tell Zhao Zhen about it.

Although she has a request for Kou Ji, it does not mean that Kou Ji can be arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in her eyes.

If the royal family is allowed to be bullied, then what kind of royal is it.

If for the sake of that throne, if you want to give up the dignity and majesty of the royal family, then what else is there to fight for the throne?

If you get it, it's just a puppet.

As soon as Empress Cao was about to enter Yanfu Palace, she saw Concubine Zhang Guifei, Concubine He De, and Concubine Zhou Shu, and they all arrived at the gate of Yanfu Palace with blue faces.

Empress Cao saw that their faces were not good-looking.

They also saw that Empress Cao's face was not good-looking.

They are all smart people, and they don't need to say it explicitly to know what happened to the other party.

Apparently, Koji had sought out each of them and threatened each of them.

The four of them glanced at each other, and without saying much, they entered the Yanfu Palace together.

Inside Yeonfu Palace.

Zhao Zhen knelt in front of the coffin with a stubbled beard, his eyes a little distracted.

I haven't washed and trimmed for a long time, and Zhao Zhen looks very sloppy and decadent.

Zhao Run knelt behind Zhao Zhen, and his image was similar.

Just no beard.

After Empress Cao, Concubine Zhang Guifei, Concubine He De, and Concubine Zhou Shufei entered Yanfu Palace, they all knelt in front of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen felt them kneeling beside him, and his distracted eyes were a little more bright.

Zhao Zhen's voice was a little hoarse, "Fourth brother bullied you?" ”

Empress Cao knelt down in unison.

"Ask the official to call the ......"

Zhao Zhen said faintly: "Except for the fourth brother, no one can force you to this part." ”

"Ask the official to call the ......"

Empress Cao and the four of them repeated what they had just said again.

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on the four Empress Cao, and asked lightly: "Who did Fang Meiren frame the prince?" ”

Queen Cao naturally can't speak, and it is impossible for her to harm her son.

Zhang Guifei, He Defei, and Zhou Shufei did not speak.

Zhao Zhen retracted his gaze and said with some disappointment: "Do you know why I trust the fourth brother?" ”

Empress Cao and the four still didn't speak.

Zhao Zhen said faintly: "Because the fourth brother will not deceive me, let alone harm me." Although the fourth brother did some things in private that couldn't be put on the table, after all, it was all for me, for my Great Song.

He really took care of me like a brother. ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on the four Empress Cao, and said coldly: "What about you? You are my pillow people, and it stands to reason that you should be closer to me, more like relatives.

But have you really treated me like a relative?

Now that I am only a year old, you will help your sons fight for this and that.

Are you looking forward to my early death? ”

Empress Cao and the four of them looked terrified.

Zhao Zhen's voice raised a few points, and said: "I'm not afraid of saying taboo words, half of my country was given by my ancestors, and half was beaten down by me."

I will pass on the country to whoever I want.

Who will sit in the future is not something that you can decide by fighting over and over.

That's what I decided. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the coffin beside him and snorted coldly: "Today in front of the queen mother, I am not afraid to tell you a few truths. I once wanted to pass on the country to the fourth brother, but the fourth brother was unwilling to accept it. ”

Empress Cao raised her head and stared at Zhao Zhen with a frightened expression.

Zhao Zhen smiled sarcastically: "Do you know that you are afraid? I tell you this just to let you know that I don't mind spreading the word. ”

Empress Cao gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Official, this country is the Zhao family's country......"

Zhao Zhen glared and said with a smile: "Jiangshan is the Zhao family, that's right." But it is not only me and my emperor who have the bloodline of the Zhao family.

There are countless clans.

My country was snatched from my grandfather from my grandfather.

I can give them back. ”

Empress Cao and the four of them trembled.

Zhao Zhen smiled hideously: "I can also pass it on to my grandson!" As long as I send an edict to Han and let my grandson change his surname to Zhao, my country can be passed on to him.

I can also send an edict to Baofu, so that Su'er's son can change his surname to Zhao, and I can also pass on the country to him.

The fourth brother got a lot of books back from Da Shi, you can go and take a look.

In the far West, it is common to pass the throne to grandchildren and nephews.

You know in your hearts who stands behind my grandson and nephew.

They want to fight for the throne, have you fought for it? ”

The four of Empress Cao were speechless in horror.

They felt that Zhao Zhen was crazy.

I can say that.

Zhao Zhen is very clear, he is very clear.

"I am not telling you this, I am not trying to intimidate you, but I want to tell you that I have many options. The Emperor is not my only choice.

In my eyes, it is far more comfortable for my emperor to be an idle prince than to be an emperor.

So you all give me a little restraint, don't force me. ”

"Concubines don't dare to ......"

"I tell you now that even if the fourth brother does something disobedient, I will not deal with him. for his life is my life.

As long as he lives, he will not watch anyone murder me, nor will he watch anyone remove me from the throne.

I feel that I can live for a long time, and the fourth brother can live for a long time.

So you all give me a little bit of restraint. ”

“……”

The four of Empress Cao knelt in front of Zhao Zhen and didn't dare to say a word.

Zhao Zhen's words had too much impact on them, and at the same time, they were too scary to say a word.

Zhao Zhen stared at the four of them and asked, "Now, tell me who did the thing about Fang Meiren framing the prince." ”

The four remained silent.

Zhao Zhen sneered, "You guys are so good!" Chen Lin?! ”

"The slave is here!"

Chen Lin quietly appeared beside Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen pointed to the four Empress Cao, "Tell the four nobles about it." ”

Chen Lin bowed and said nonchalantly: "The ladies have long had the intention of using other concubines in the palace to compete for favor.

Fang Meiren's brothers did not succeed, and there were a lot of troubles in Bianjing City and their hometown.

Concubine Niangniang saw the opportunity to control Fang Meiren, so she stepped forward to help Fang Meiren solve the trouble, so as to master a lot of Fang Meiren's handles.

At the same time, Fang Meiren's cousin and Zhang Bing were also placed in the appropriate position in case of emergency.

When Concubine De was outside Bianjing City in the past, she often asked her sister to pretend to be her to welcome guests in the Taoist temple.

Among them is Tiewen Bear.

After Concubine De entered the palace, she often recruited Tiewen Xiong into the palace to explain the Taoist scriptures.

In the meantime, he lured him with money and officials and lured him as a confidant.

But in fact, Tiewen Xiong is the person of the queen mother, as early as the beginning of the Tiansheng Dynasty, Tiewen Xiong was the door of the Cao family where the queen mother was recruited in Zhending Mansion......"

Chen Lin said this, and deliberately paused.

Concubine He De's face changed greatly, and she looked at Empress Cao in dismay.

Empress Cao's face was a little ugly.

Chen Lin continued to say lightly: "The two ladies wanted to pull His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress Niangniang off the horse, but they were unwilling to do it themselves, so they found the concubine Niangniang.

The concubine didn't want to stick to this matter, so she entrusted the matter to the virtuous concubine.

The virtuous concubine couldn't resist the concubine, so she made a move.

Therefore, the matter of Fang Meiren is the person from Concubine Shu and Concubine De, and it was planned by Concubine Xian.

If a few maidens want evidence, the slaves can go to Tianqing Street to invite the heirs born to Tie Wenxiong and Cao's daughter to come over. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Lin stepped aside.

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly, "You did a good job!" ”

The four of them had no way to hide anything.

They also had no way to ask Zhao Zhen to show evidence.

At this time, ask Zhao Zhen to show evidence and carry Zhao Zhen to the end, and the end will be miserable.

happily admitted, but Zhao Zhen will be spared.

After all, they are the ones who have the prince's side, as long as they don't make a big mistake, Zhao Zhen will not execute them.

"The concubine is guilty!"

Zhao Zhen flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "If you are a husband and wife, I will not dispose of you, so as not to spread it out and make people laugh." The queen mother also did not want to see the royal family being said to be a place of filth and filth.

But don't your children, think about it.

If you want to fight for the throne, I will give them a chance.

In the future, when each prince became an adult, he was assigned as an official incognito.

The prefect of the county, the prefect, the prefect, and the two prefectures are inspected, step by step, and whoever rises up, I will let whoever ascend to the throne.

I will not interfere with them.

Neither shall you interfere with them.

If they do so, I will demote them to commoners.

If you all think that your son can be the emperor, then let them out and see how many catties and taels they have, and see if they have the ability to take my place.

The prince is old, and he has reached the age of going out, so he can be regarded as taking advantage.

But he is the crown prince and deserves to take advantage of it.

I won't favor him too much, I'll put him on the border. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen ignored the ugly faces of the four Empress Cao, and said coldly: "You'd better take my words to heart and don't disobey them."

Otherwise, I will pass on the throne.

I dare not say that I have surpassed all the emperors of the ages in terms of martial arts.

But in heart and courage, I am far superior to any of them.

They are afraid of death, but I am not afraid!

They don't dare to pass on the throne, I dare! ”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he pointed to the door of Yanfu Palace, "Now, let me out, don't disturb the queen mother's peaceful sleep." ”

After the four of Empress Cao apologized, they withdrew from Yanfu Palace.

The four of them stood outside the palace, their faces were very ugly and complicated.

If it was in the past, Chen Lin uncovered their faces, and they would not hesitate to make a mess.

But now, they don't want to make trouble.

Because there's no way to make trouble.

Zhao Zhenming told them that his choice was not only his son.

Zhao Zhen even counted his grandson and nephew among them.

Although the emperor's relatives were cleaned up by Zhao Zhen.

But there is still a lot left.

Zhao Zhen has too many choices, so many that they can't shoot or fight.

If Zhao Zhen went crazy, he really passed on his throne to his grandson who was far away in Korea.

Even if they tried their best to grab their hands, they couldn't sit still.

Although Zhao Zhenyuan's son-in-law in Korea has not yet added a grandson to Zhao Zhen.

But as long as people want to, they will definitely be able to add a grandson to Zhao Zhen.

It doesn't matter at all whether Kou Tianci and Princess Baoqing can give birth to a son.

As long as people are thick-skinned enough, any son of Kou Tianci can become the son of Princess Baoqing.

And Zhao Zhen's choice is not only his grandson, but also his nephew.

Zhao Xu is already pregnant, and she is already pregnant.

I don't know if it's a man or a woman, but it proves that Bao Zheng and Zhao Xu are healthy and can give birth.

As long as the husband and wife are ruthless and keep giving birth, they will always give birth to a son.

Not to mention the clan.

Since losing power, losing great wealth, and being raised as pigs, one by one has done nothing but give birth to babies.

Now there are more than 400 people in the same clan as Zhao Run.

Even the next generation of Zhao Run came out.

Zhao Zhen is still in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the longer he lives, the greater the number of clansmen.

Faced with a large number of heirs to the throne, they couldn't compete.

The only thing they could do was to do what Zhao Zhen told them.

Zhao Zhen pinched their weakness.

They rely on the prince by their side, and they are not afraid of being beheaded if they make mistakes.

Zhao Zhen knew what they wanted, so he used what they wanted to take them to death.

Zhao Zhen's words were atmospheric, saying that he would pass the throne to his nephews, nephews, nephews, and grandchildren.

But who it will be passed on, only Zhao Zhen knows in his heart.

Zhao Zhen can scare people, but the four of Empress Cao don't dare to gamble.

Zhao Zhen looked at Empress Dowager Li's coffin and let out a long sigh after Empress Cao and the four left.

He felt tired.

Empress Cao's four women with the prince's side, he really didn't want to move, and he didn't want to move.

He has enough of the bitterness of mother and son separation.

He didn't want his son to suffer like this.

So after he knew what happened, he chose to let them go.

"Father's ......"

Zhao Run has been kneeling behind Zhao Zhen, and quietly watched the big drama of Zhao Zhen reprimanding his mother and several of his mothers.

Zhao Zhen's words made him feel very disappointed.

He didn't really have a strong desire for that position.

But he felt that it was better for the meat to rot in the pot than to give it to others.

He felt that Zhao Zhen was going to pass on the throne, which was simply stupid.

Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Run's call, glanced back at Zhao Run, and after seeing Zhao Run's expression, he said faintly: "Think I'm a fool?" ”

Zhao Run hesitated for a moment and nodded stiffly.

Zhao Zhen grinned and said, "I thought that I was surrounded by some deceitful things, but I didn't expect that there was another one who was willing to tell me the truth." ”

Zhao Run said in a deep voice: "Mr. said, if the son deceives his father, then he will be a son of man in vain." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and smiled: "It's good to be honest." Everyone in the world feels that honest people will be bullied and will suffer. But this rule is useless to my royal family.

I can say whatever I want.

I can do whatever I want.

If you are not convinced, you will hold it back.

I couldn't hold it back, so I killed him. ”

Zhao Run hesitated for a moment and said bluntly: "Father, you are too domineering. Mr. said that as a gentleman, there is no need to hide things, just be dignified. ”

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Am I domineering? It's because I'm not domineering enough that I'm bullied. So I want you to be a little more domineering. ”

Zhao Run hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if my father doesn't look down on his sons and is unwilling to pass on the throne to his sons, then it shouldn't be passed on to others." ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned.

Zhao Run chuckled in his heart.

Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed out loud, "Good boy! I love it! ”

Zhao Run was stunned and said, "Father doesn't blame his son? ”

Zhao Zhen asked rhetorically: "Why blame?" ”

Zhao Run said hesitantly: "My father just told my mother that I want to pass on the throne to ......."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled: "I said it, so what?" Did I also say that I have the final say on who the throne will pass to? ”

Zhao Run nodded.

Zhao Zhen said meaningfully: "So...... I have the final say on who the throne will pass to. ”

Zhao Run nodded as if he didn't understand.

Zhao Zhen stared at Zhao Run and said with a smile: "Don't you think it's unfair for me to take out the throne that originally belonged to you and let people fight for it?" ”

Zhao Run smiled bitterly and said frankly: "Mr. said, if you want to worry about the throne, the first thing you have to do is to live past your father." Mr. also said that if the son can't survive his father's emperor, what's the use of fighting for the throne? ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he sighed with emotion: "The fourth brother still sees it thoroughly. ”

Zhao Run continued: "Mr. also said that my father is a long-lived person, so let my sons be obedient. Erchen also felt that his father would definitely live a long life.

Therefore, the throne is not robbed.

But father, you can't stop the son of the son from robbing. ”

After a pause, Zhao Run quickly added, "It's your imperial grandson." ”

Zhao Zhen laughed.

After laughing, he said to Zhao Run mysteriously: "It's not necessarily ......."

Zhao Run was stunned for a moment, staring at Zhao Zhen suspiciously.

Zhao Zhen didn't say much about this topic.

Zhao Zhen said to himself: "I still have a doubt in my heart that has not been solved, and after it is solved, I will know how to pass on the throne." ”

Zhao Run was about to ask, but saw that Zhao Zhen had already turned his head to look at Concubine Li's coffin, and muttered to the Empress Dowager Li's coffin.

Zhao Run listened carefully, a little dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhen was discussing his faux pass with Concubine Li's coffin.

Zhao Zhen said and laughed when he was keeping the spirit of Concubine Li, it really shouldn't be.

Zhao Zhen confessed his guilt to Concubine Li, and thought that Concubine Li loved him so much that she would definitely not punish him, so he would forgive her rudeness as Concubine Li.

Zhao Run couldn't believe his ears at all.

And bargaining with the dead?

If he hadn't seen Zhao Zhen crying as he spoke, Zhao Run would have thought that his father was an unfilial son.

Everything that happened in Yanfu Palace, Kou Ji didn't know.

After Kou Ji thought that Empress Cao and the four of them had given an ultimatum, they returned to the council hall, left all the government affairs to the three courts, and left the palace and returned to the mansion.

Then sit on the house and wait quietly.

I waited for three days, but I didn't wait for any news.

Kou Ji sent someone to invite Yang Wenguang and Di Qing to the mansion.

After Yang Wenguang and Di Qing got the news, they rushed to Kou Ji's mansion on their horses.

Koji had them led to the study.

Before the two of them could sit down, Kou Ji spoke in surprise.

"I'm going to blow up the equipment workshop outside the city!"

Rao is Yang Wenguang and Di Qing are well-informed, and they also shuddered when they heard this.

The two stared at Kou Ji with horror on their faces, their eyes full of disbelief.

The equipment workshop outside Bianjing City can be said to be the most important military center in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the largest armament forging place in the Great Song Dynasty.

blew up the equipment workshop outside Bianjing.

There will be a long period of fault in the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty.

If it happened that the enemy attacked the Great Song Dynasty at this time, then the Great Song Dynasty would have an embarrassing situation of lack of armaments.

The only thing that could be done at that time was to requisition firearms from other forbidden troops who had not been fighting.

Firearms have been in the military for several years.

Some of the new soldiers who joined the battalion could not even fight without firearms.

When the time comes, firearms will be requisitioned, and the recruits in the forbidden army will probably be abolished.

"Brother, you should know what the instrument workshop means to Da Song. Although our Great Song Dynasty has set up two firearms workshops in the north and northeast.

But in terms of scale, there is no way to compare with the equipment workshop in Bianjing.

Once the Bianjing City Equipment Workshop exploded and there was a war, there would be no shortage of shells and iron bullets. ”

Di Qing shouted in horror.

Yang Wenguang nodded solemnly on the side and said, "That's right!" The instrument workshop in Bianjing City is your hard work for many years, and you are really willing to destroy it?

That's what you've spent more than a decade building on.

After the explosion, more than ten years of hard work were gone. ”

Kou Ji said calmly: "More than ten years of hard work, if it is ruined, it will be ruined." You can rebuild it when you go back. With the experience of the last time, it should be very quick to build again. ”

Yang Wenguang shouted a little bitterly: "What is it for? ”

Kou Ji looked at Yang Wenguang, "First the gunpowder was lost, and then the muskets and artillery were lost, there must be a big conspiracy behind it." I don't want what I've made to be turned back on my head.

Now I can't find a clue, and no one is willing to admit it.

So I had to make a big fuss and blow up the equipment workshop.

As soon as the equipment workshop is blown up, the entire Great Song Dynasty will pay attention to this matter.

All those who were contaminated with gunpowder, muskets, and artillery were dug up one by one.

When the time comes, the people behind will either take the risk with muskets and cannons.

Either stand up obediently. ”

Yang Wenguang looked stunned, still digesting Kou Ji's words.

Di Qing understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words.

Gunpowder, muskets, and artillery are now secretly stolen, and as long as they cut off their heads and refuse to show their heads, they will not find out.

But make the matter bigger, to the point that it is enough to punish the nine clans.

There will always be people who will be timid.

There are always people in the know who can't help but come out and report.

Some of the people involved in this matter will also be dug up by everyone in the Great Song Dynasty.

For example, soldiers who fled with muskets and artillery.

There will definitely be some among them who are timid, and there will be those who leak.

As long as there is a leak, you can immediately check it down and catch the real culprit.

"Can't you find a way to check it again? It's a pity that the equipment workshop was ruined. ”

After Di Qing understood the joints, he opened his mouth with a look of pity.

Kou Ji shook his head indifferently, "There is no time to delay!" ”
