Chapter 900: Seizure of the Throne (5)

Of course, Zhang Yuan will not go to the informant, his own difficult situation forced him to take risks, there was no good way to deal with it, but now there are big things with the party, which is exactly what he can't ask for.

What's more, even if you go to the informant, with Yuan Hao's suspicious and violent character, Yuan Hao will inevitably have a guess of 'why they want to plot with you' afterwards, once this guess is generated in his mind, then he will wait for bad luck.

Zhang Yuan screened the officials who had a deep relationship with him one by one in his stomach, and finally determined three people who could be discussed and wooed, the first was his own sworn friend, Wu Hao, who came to defect to Li Yuanhao back then, was both a fellow villager and a fellow party, Zhang Yuan also brought him less, Wu Hao was naturally the first choice, and more importantly, he was currently in charge of Yin Zhengjidian in Xingqing Mansion, with about 3,000 patrol soldiers in his hands.

The second person is the great Confucian Le Maocai in the middle of the court, the reason for choosing him is not because of how much power he has, but because he once worked with Yeli Renrong to create the Western Xia script, and became a scholar and Confucian respected by everyone in the Xia Kingdom.

And the third person is the most important person, this person is called Ren Jingde, this is the Great Song Jing Yuan Road and the state of the general judgment, six years ago at the beginning of the Song and Xia war, the Xia army did not attack Hezhou, but this person took the initiative to lead the troops to surrender to Western Xia, almost let Hezhou fall.

As a general, his status is naturally not high, and Li Yuanhao did not treat him as a garlic, but this person knows how to welcome him, and sent his fifteen-year-old biological daughter into the palace to Li Yuanhao. Ren Jingde took Zhang Yuan's door again, and in the next few years, it was smooth sailing, and the official was the commander of the Xiangqing army, with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the garrison was Lingzhou, which was only a hundred miles away from Xingqing Mansion.

For these three people, Zhang Yuan is 100% sure of coming over, Wu Hao needless to say, it is a sworn friend of a pair of pants, and both glory and loss are lost; Gu Lemao is a person who does learning, Zhang Yuan is a Song person, he has read poetry and books, but it is a pity that he has tried many times, but when it comes to poetry and sage books, he is naturally the head is the Tao, Gu Lemao yearns for Song culture, and he sits and talks with Zhang Yuan every time, and introduces Zhang Yuan as a confidant; Now Gu Lemao is in a worrying situation, he has come more often, all kinds of complaints have fallen into Zhang Yuan's ears, Zhang Yuan is not afraid that he will not obey, the usual complaints have been recorded in the booklet, and when the time comes, he only needs to throw the booklet in front of this nerd, and the nerd will naturally be at his mercy.

What is difficult is this Ren Jingde, not that he is worried that he will not participate, in fact, after he came to power, Ren Jingde's position is about to be lost, and he is the most hateful to the Han people, and it is impossible for the Han people to hold high positions and important positions after he takes power, which is the best opportunity to impress Ren Jingde; And Ren Jingde's biological daughter in the palace, Concubine Ying, has been out of favor for a long time, and Ren Jingde will not ignore his situation.

And the trouble is that this Ren Jingde seems to be very ambitious, he helped him at the beginning and also pulled a henchman for himself, if the killing of Yuan Haoli Prince can be successful, Ren Jingde will also have a lot of credit, in the future, this Ren Jingde may not be able to control himself, but this is a matter of the future, now this level must be passed first, and then I will think about bringing him down in the future.

After determining the candidate, Zhang Yuan began to contact and explore the action, but he didn't expect it to be very smooth, and the danger brought about by not hiding Pang taking power had already made Ren Jingde, the commander of the Lingzhou Xiangqing Army, restless, when Zhang Yuan secretly arrived at the Lingzhou military camp and vaguely mentioned this matter to him, Ren Jingde actually immediately agreed to this plan, especially when Zhang Yuan showed Ren Jingde the secret letter of Empress Yeli, Ren Jingde was excited and almost laughed.

Xia Guo should also be regarded as this calamity, after the defeat, famine and the Xia country in power, the surface calm has long hidden the countercurrent of thought, at this time, the Xia country, like the wasteland of the withered grass, only a spark can be ignited, but the lack of the person who lit the fire.

……

On the eighth day of the first month of March, it was still a rainy day, and in the afternoon of the same day, Li Yuanhao got up from the back of his sleep and ordered someone to put someone in the back garden and almost sit in the pavilion to enjoy the drizzle of early spring; Li Yuanhao ordered a group of flowery palace maids and concubines to play in the rain in thin silk clothes, drinking tea, while laughing at the beautiful scene of them being soaked in the rain and sticking to their bodies without underwear, the silk clothes were translucent, and after the rain was wet, they were attached to the body, and the clothes looked at the hazy mountains, red beans and green grass valleys, which made Li Yuanhao happy; The palace ladies and concubines shivered coldly, and they didn't dare to disobey the holy will, so they could only endure it and shiver coldly.

After watching it for a while, Li Yuanhao's interest came up, and he pulled the little palace maid who poured wine next to him, and took down his skirt and underwear three or two, and then went on a big campaign in the pavilion; It's just that the scenery is that maybe the expedition is too much and too dense, Li Yuanhao feels that his body is a little uncontrolled, and he is a little powerless after a few happy times, which makes Li Yuanhao and his annoyance.

Li Yuanhao's unhappiness was noticed by a chamberlain beside him, and he leaned close to Li Yuanhao's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has obtained a new pill, and after eating it, he can strengthen his body and be full of energy; The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, so why not order His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to offer that thing to try, it may be quite effective. ”

Li Yuanhao said angrily: "Are you satirizing my incompetence? Are you getting impatient? ”

The chamberlain hurriedly knelt down and confessed: "How dare the old slave, the old slave is just thinking about the emperor's body, and he is talking too much for a while; The old slave did hear that since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got the drug, he sang songs all night, stayed up all night, and the next day he was still in good spirits without any tiredness, which shows that the effect of that thing is extraordinary, and with this miracle medicine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should offer it for the emperor to enjoy. ”

Li Yuanhao leaned back in the chair, the exercise just now made his back sore, and the lower side was dripping and not very comfortable, thinking that it was because of his lack of physical strength, and when he heard what the waiter said, his heart moved: "Sure enough, it has this effect?" ”

The waiter said: "You will know as soon as you use it, why not ask the prince to offer it and give it a try." ”

Li Yuanhao thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go and pass the decree and order the prince to bring that thing into the palace." ”

The waiter said with a smile on his face: "The old slave obeys the order!" ”

The chamberlain hurried out of the back garden, but did not go directly to the palace gate, but took a detour and plunged into the Tianyi Palace. Through the heavy curtain, the chamberlain knelt down and saluted, and whispered to the curtain: "The old slave sees Niangniang." ”

Behind the curtain, Ye Lidulan's cold voice sounded: "Wu Gonggong, how is the matter?" ”

The waiter said: "The emperor ordered the old slave to pass the prince into the palace to offer medicine, and the old slave was fortunate not to disgrace his life." ”

Ye Lidulan's voice revealed a burst of excitement, and he paused and said: "Very good, you quickly go and invite the prince into the palace, and ask the prince to pass through the Tianyi Palace before meeting the emperor." ”

"The old slave obeys."

"Thank you for your hard work, Father-in-law Wu, there will be a good reward in this palace, go ahead."

The chamberlain kowtowed and bowed out.

After the curtain, Ye Lidulan sat upright, her eyes slightly closed, and the light blue smoke from the beak of the incense burner beside her shrouded her whole person in a haze.

I don't know how long later, a sigh came from the corner of her lips, Ye Lidulan opened her eyes, and instructed the maid beside her: "Make tea, the prince is here." ”

The two palace maids looked at each other, and they were quiet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't even see a shadow, but the queen said that he was coming, and when she was suspicious, she heard the palace maid of the outer palace shouting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see the queen!" ”

The two palace maids hurriedly went to make tea, only to hear the rustling of footsteps, the curtain was lifted, and the crown prince Li Ning Lingge walked in with a pale face holding a box.

Brother Li Ning Ling said goodbye with a trembling voice, standing there helplessly, Ye Li Dulan waved away the palace maid, got up lightly and walked in front of Brother Li Ning Ling, stretched out his hand to stroke his sweaty face and said, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Erchen...... Unafraid. Brother Li Ning said with a trembling voice.

Ye Lidulan said: "If you are afraid, don't do it, our fate is left to God, because my mother doesn't want my son to bear the name of killing his father." ”

Brother Li Ning licked his dry lips and said, "But...... But ......"

Ye Lidulan's voice suddenly became sharp, and his tone became indifferent, and he said word by word: "If you are my son of Ye Lidulan, you should not be afraid at this time; Do you know that today's events are advancing and retreating, everyone's lives are tied to you, and at this time, you must be as useless as a warrior who goes into battle to kill the enemy; Either the whole Yeli clan, and the thousands of people who participated in the planning of this matter will be beheaded, including the lives of you, my mother and son; Either after tonight, you will be the Lord of Great Xia, and you will be the supreme emperor, which of the two do you choose? ”

Li Ning Lingge's eyes suddenly glowed, straightened his back and said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the son knows what to do, and the son is no longer afraid." ”

Ye Li Dulan laughed silently, stretched out his hand to take Li Ning Lingge's body, hugged him in his arms, and said in his ear: "You just have to concentrate on killing him, other things have already been arranged for my mother, there is no need to mention it in the palace, there is Lord Zhang Yuan outside; The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiangqing army in Lingzhou have already secretly camped outside the city, only to sanitize him, our mother and son will no longer be afraid, in the future, you will strive to govern, or destroy the Liao people, or destroy the Song people, establish the meritorious deeds of the ages, and become the emperor of the ages, everything starts today. ”

Li Ning Lingge's panting sound became thicker, and his hands clenched into fists, making a rattling sound of bones bursting.

"Take this dagger, which is a precious gift from your great uncle, and you will take this dagger and avenge your uncle with your own hands." Ye Lidulan stuffed a dagger as thin as a cicada's wings into Li Ning Lingge's hand, and Li Ning Lingge took it without saying a word, stuffed it into his waist and covered it with clothes.

"The queen mother, the son-in-law has gone." Li Ning ordered Brother to kneel down and kowtow, and turned away.

Ye Lidulan stood dumbfounded, his teeth clenched, and tears welled up in his eyes.
