Su Jin was a little desperate, according to the current situation, the possibility of success in this matter is too small, and it is very likely to set himself on fire.

However, Empress Yeli's other words pulled Su Jin out of the quagmire of despair.

"This palace can control the two teams of guards in the palace, a whole thousand people, what the palace tells them to do, they will do, because their chief guard will be the henchmen of this palace."

Su Jin was overjoyed and said, "Is this true? ”

Empress Yeli said: "At this time, how can this palace deceive you, this is a major matter related to life and death." ”

The guards in the Western Xia Palace were divided into ten teams, each team of 500 soldiers, and five teams of 2,500 troops were on duty every day, who were in charge of the defense of the front and rear palaces, and were rotated every two days; The captains of the two teams of guards mentioned by Empress Yeli are the fine mother of the ninth team and the tenth team of Wu Luo Bubu, both of whom are from the Xixia tribe and have been on duty in the palace for many years, and their qualifications are the two oldest.

Su Jin asked cautiously: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, why would the queen mother dare to conclude that the two of them would listen to your orders?" This is not an ordinary matter, and this matter is also a matter of life and death for them, and they don't have to take this risk. ”

Ye Li Dulan's face turned red, his expression was quite strange, and he said softly: "Although Lord Su can rest assured of this, this palace guarantees that they will do their best." ”

Su Jin said: "It's not that I don't believe the queen's words, this matter is too important, and I want to try to eliminate all uncertain factors." ”

Ye Li Dulan glanced at Brother Li Ningling, who was standing aside, and said, "The emperor went to help the queen mother make a pot of tea, I want to drink what you made yourself, your tea making skills are good." ”

Li Ning Ling Ge wanted to listen to the reason, but the queen mother's words were obviously meant to separate himself, he could only go to help Ye Li Dulan enter the house to make tea, and took this opportunity to Ye Li Dulan blushed and said to Su Jin: "My lord must know the reason, and this palace will not hide it, but you are only allowed to know about this matter, can you agree?" ”

Su Jin was a little puzzled, what was he doing mysteriously, just asking for a reason.

"The queen can rest assured, my mouth is notoriously tight."

Ye Lidulan beckoned, "Come over with your ears." ”

Su Jin leaned over his ears, and Yeli Dulan said softly in Su Jin's ear: "They are my mistresses, do you think they can not listen to me?" ”

Su Jin suddenly realized, it turned out to be such a relationship, the queen's lover, it is natural to help the queen with all her heart, and the queen wants to kill the king, if these two people dare to say half a word, the queen only needs to release her personal feelings, and these two cowardly guys will fall to the ground in the whole family, and they can't die anymore.

"You don't think that Bengong is a lewd woman, Bengong can't help it, in order to protect himself, Bengong must use all means, including selling his body."

"I admire the queen mother, but I really wronged the queen mother by doing this." Su Jin said against his will.

"That's not all, do you know the pain of being in the palace? I am also a woman, the emperor has long lost interest in me, and I also need someone to love me, both of them are Angzang men, and they are also good men in a million, and it is normal for me to fall in love with them. ”

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said: You are shrewd, and you have solved the physiological problem by attracting forces to solve it, killing two birds with one stone; Su Jin is reluctant to dwell on this topic, according to this, this

There is no need to worry about the name of the fine mother and the burial cloth, in this way, things are much simpler.

"Things have become simpler, with these two teams of manpower, at least the troubles in the palace can be solved, we must choose the date to start, we must choose the day when these two teams are on duty in the inner palace, so that the safety of the prince and the safety of the queen can be guaranteed."

Ye Lidulan nodded and said, "This is nature, do you still need any arrangement?" ”

Su Jin frowned and thought: "Let's make an assumption, if we succeed in the palace and kill that person, the situation in the palace can also be controlled by us, so how can we claim it to the outside world?" ”

Ye Li Dulan said: "It is said that the emperor died violently, and according to the rules, the crown prince ascended the throne." ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "No, if you don't hide it, you will immediately mobilize the people in Beijing to make trouble, as long as he claims that the emperor was killed by the prince, all the people will fall to his side, and then things will develop in an irreversible direction, and in the end, the benefit is that you don't hide Pang and the little prince, but we made wedding clothes for them." ”

Ye Liduran exclaimed: "As soon as you say this, this palace thinks that this will indeed be the case, so what should I do?" ”

Su Jin paced slowly: "If you have to respond externally, I don't believe that there is no opponent in the court who has not hidden the false Pang, and if there is no hidden false Pang, someone will lose power, so who are the people who have lost power?" ”

Yeli Dulan thought for a while and said: "It's not that there are no opponents who don't hide the false Pang, Shang Shu Ling Zhang Yuan is one of them, Shang Shu Ling is the head of the hundred officials, but the emperor has set up another post of Xiangguo, so that Shang Shuling has become the deputy of Xiangguo, Zhang Yuan is of course not happy; In the court, he and Wuzang also attacked each other, but the emperor did not favor anyone, I am afraid that this is the result that the emperor wants; However, Zhang Yuan's reputation has fallen greatly since he negotiated peace with your Song State, and he has basically been in an extremely disadvantaged position in recent years, I heard that he had asked for his resignation, and the emperor almost agreed to him. ”

When Su Jin heard the name Zhang Yuan, he immediately remembered that he had designed to tease Zhang Yuan during the Weizhou peace talks that day, but he didn't expect that he was no longer staying in Huizhou, but returning to Xingqing Mansion.

Su Jin asked Zhang Yuan in detail, this Zhang Yuan is not simple, as a Han man, he has been based in the Xia State for more than ten years, Yuan Hao trusts him very much, and he has also won the respect of many party officials, which shows that this person is still successful.

Su Jin carefully considered the possibility of winning over Zhang Yuan, this step seemed to be a risky move, but once Zhang Yuan joined, after the matter came out, the external force would completely reverse the situation; But if Zhang Yuan is unwilling to join and informs Yuan Hao, the whole plan will be stillborn.

This is a dilemma, Su Jin is difficult to weigh, but after a moment of thought, Su Jin decided to take another risk, because this risk is worth taking, first of all, Zhang Yuan's situation determines that he has a great chance that he will not go to the informant, the expansion of the power of the Wuzang clan has almost compressed Zhang Yuan's living space, judging from his resignation, he must feel powerless to return to the sky, otherwise a person who would rather betray the Song Dynasty and return to the Xia Kingdom with infamy behind his back, in order to realize his ambitions, how could he give up lightly? Secondly, even if Zhang Yuan informes, what kind of benefits can he get for himself? Could it be that if he didn't hide the false Pang, he would abdicate and make him the boss of the court? No way!

Su Jin carefully considered all possibilities and came to a harmless conclusion, he decided to visit Zhang Yuan in person, and moved Zhang Yuan to come out to deal with the aftermath for him.

……

Zhang Yuan's mansion is on the shore of Heishui Lake in Dongcheng, where the trees are shaded, the lakes and mountains are beautiful, it is a good place, but the court officials are unwilling to live here, there is an unwritten consensus in the Xia court, who lives by the Heishui Lake, it means that who is about to retire, although the scenery of the Heishui Lake is beautiful, it is a taboo in the mouths of officials.

Of course, Zhang Yuan also knew this taboo, but he wanted to move here to show an attitude of resigning from the government; Although he didn't want to retire at all, the situation told him that he was powerless to return to the sky, because he didn't have a stunning sister to give to Yuan Hao to have fun, and he was not a party member with pigtails, no matter how many ideas he had helped Yuan Hao and how many things he did for him, he was kicked away in the end.

When he tentatively asked to resign, Li Yuanhao hesitated and did not allow him to resign, and it was this hesitation that made Zhang Yuan understand that he was no longer an indispensable figure around the emperor, and he had been marginalized.

There are other people with the same fate, and the sudden rise of Pang who did not hide it made many old ministers like Zhang Yuan indignant, but no one dared to talk more, because there was that tyrant on top, and the consequences of talking too much were unimaginable, and they became a group of people who sympathized with each other, and occasionally gathered by the Heishui Lake to feel sorry for themselves, but they were helpless.

On the first day of the first month of March, on a drizzly afternoon, a carriage drove on the path by the lonely Heishui Lake, and the carriage stopped outside Zhang Yuan's mansion on its own, and a figure wearing a hat jumped down from the carriage, followed by a delicate woman in red, and the two came to the closed door of the mansion and knocked; The janitor opened the small door in the rain, and the man in the hat handed a name card in, and after a while, the door of the house opened, and more than a dozen nurses poured out, and the future people were tightly surrounded by them.

Zhang Yuan, dressed in a black shirt, walked out of the door quickly, stared at the man wearing a hat and asked, "Who are you?" Where is the man on the name post? ”

The person wearing the hat slowly lifted the hat, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, don't come unharmed, the old man is visiting, your welcome ceremony is very special." ”

Zhang Yuan saw the face in front of him clearly and suddenly said in shock: "Sure enough, it's you, you dare to come here, you don't want to die." ”

The man in the hat smiled and said, "If the ants are still stealing their lives, how can I not die?" The reason why I came to look for Mr. Zhang is that there is something more important than my life to find you, Mr. Zhang will not be so stingy, he won't even let me enter the mansion, I have come all the way to this place. ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and suddenly arched his hand and said: "Okay, there is nothing to do, the old man will see what tricks you play, please come in, come here, close the door and latch, serve outside the hall, I finished talking to this guest, you have to entertain him for me." ”

The nurses agreed in unison, and flashed a way away, Su Jin laughed and arched his hand: "Please!" ”
