Chapter 816: Let's muddy the waters of the Jingshi first



Chapter 816

"Because among the several princes, the most strategic one is the five princes, and the five princes have a lot of relationships in the army, so in order to clear the obstacles, Zhao Linfu will inevitably get rid of the five princes......" Zhang Jiuling stroked his long beard, his expression looked very dignified.

"The other princes, even if they have a heart, but first of all, they have no military power, and second, the queen is still there, as long as Zhao Linfu can put on a posture of wanting to ally with Chen Guifei, Chen Guifei will definitely not be embarrassed by Zhao Linfu, and it can even be said that the death of the five princes may have something to do with Chen Guifei to a greater or lesser extent."

Hearing Zhang Jiuling's analysis, Ximen Zhongxiong was enlightened, while Zhao Shangshu was shocked. "This, this can't be, how could Empress Chen be in cahoots with Zhao Linfu, you must know that guy wants to replace Tang."

"Brother Zhongxian, you have to figure out one thing first, after Empress Chen was seriously ill and didn't wake up, what do you think she wants to do the most?" Zhang Jiuling sighed and asked Zhao Shangshu.

"This ...... Presumably trying to make his son the crown prince, right? Zhao Shangshu pondered for a while, and said with a light in his eyes.

"Yes, but there is one thing, before the Son of Heaven fell unconscious, did he have a will, which prince was designated as the crown prince? Not really. Zhang Jiuling spread his hands and said with a wry smile.

"Yes, Zhao really hasn't heard of this." Zhao Zhongxian nodded affirmatively.

"So, in the case that the Son of Heaven is unconscious and can't be a director, if the courtiers are asked to discuss who should be appointed as the crown prince, do you think that Empress Chen, who has a young son and a strong mother, has the ability to override public opinion and make the eleventh prince the crown prince, or even ascend the throne as the emperor?"

"Of course it can't be, the Son of Heaven is seriously ill and unconscious, and it is a great disadvantage for Yu Sheji, since he should choose a virtuous prince as the crown prince, so that he can ...... Hey, I see, maybe, in the eyes of the queen mother, Her Majesty's adult concubines are her enemies. Zhao Shangshu finally figured out the twists and turns inside.

"Yes, and for the queen mother who was kept in the dark, Zhao Linfu, who once helped her ascend to the queen's throne, is far less threatening to her than those of His Majesty's concubines......" Ximen Zhongxiong also said with a bitter face.

Now the situation is very clear, although they have been able to guess the truth, but the problem is that this queen mother, with them, has no intersection at all, but because of the queen mother in order to fight for the throne, the ministers loyal to the court are very despised.

And Zhao Linfu, the prime minister who was also spurned by the loyal ministers, supported the re-establishment of the Son of Heaven, and made great efforts to make Chen Guifei the queen. Naturally, it is not surprising that Empress Chen feels that Zhao Linfu is the person worthy of her trust.

As for Zhang Jiuling, Zhao Zhongxian, and Ximen Zhongxiong, they have always been not very good at dealing with this queen mother, so can they still go to the queen mother now, and tell the queen mother with a serious face, in fact, Zhao Linfu's alliance with you is ill-intentioned, he is to replace the Tang Dynasty, and you and your son will soon be killed after Zhao Linfu controls everything.

If she really wants to do this, Queen Chen will not turn her face and let the guards beat her brothers on the spot, even if it is merciful, and maybe this woman thinks that she and the others are dividing her alliance with Zhao Linfu, and when the time comes, Zhao Linfu may turn her head and clean up herself and the others as soon as possible.

The three important ministers of the court, one is a famous official of the Ministry of Officials, one is a dignified secretary of the military department, and the other is a famous Confucian general of the court, but at this moment, they all feel that it is really difficult to move forward in such a situation.

"Alas, the current situation is really ......" Zhang Jiuling's face was helpless and entangled, and he couldn't imagine that the situation that suddenly appeared made them really powerless and couldn't solve it at all.

"By the way, what's going on over there with Old General Duan, but what's the movement?" Zhang Jiuling's gaze fell on Ximen Zhongxiong and Zhao Shangshu and asked.

"The old general is no different from before, it's just that the Son of Heaven is not in Beijing during this time, and the old general has a lot more time to go to the barracks......" Zhao Shangshu said meaningfully.

Zhang Jiuling let out a sigh of relief, and finally showed a little joy on his face: "Yes, now the twelve guards of the Beijing Division, although many of them are under the command of Old General Duan in the past, but if they don't move around, how can they tell the good from the bad?" ”

"This is also, all these years, Zhao Linfu has been secretly reaching out to the military, although the Son of Heaven has always been very vigilant about this matter, but it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao someone did not succeed, not to mention, just from the attack on Her Royal Highness the princess, it is at least proved that Cao Hu'er, Kolch and Xu Shou are all under Zhao Linfu's orders......" Ximen Zhongxiong said with a sad face, the border towns have let Zhao Linfu's old boy infiltrate, who dares to guarantee that there is no one in the sixteen guards of the Beijing Division?

These words couldn't help but make Zhang and Zhao's expressions a little ugly. The more I dig deeper, the more I feel that the current situation is so shocking, and it can be said that they are now feeling more and more powerless to complain, well, it should be said that they are really powerless to complain about the current situation.

The Son of Heaven is critically ill and cannot be a director, and now he is still in the palace, under the heavy protection of heavy soldiers, and those people are either Empress Chen's people or Zhao Linfu's people, they can't get close to the Son of Heaven at all.

Even if it's closer, what? Anyway, this brother found out that when everything needs to rely on strength to speak, their ability is even better than that of a general under the command of Old General Duan.

"It's really aggrieved, I knew that this was the case, Zhao should have stayed in the army, but there were soldiers around him, so he wouldn't be so helpless now, except for turning his lips, he could only stare dryly." After Zhao Zhongxian was worried for a long time, he patted his thigh and said.

These words made Ximen Zhongxiong couldn't help but look gloomy, if it wasn't for his foot disease, how could he leave the army, and he would have been gone for more than ten years. Now, even if there is a full stomach, it is useless.

As for Zhang Jiuling, apart from rolling his eyes, he didn't know what to say. "Let's stay in Beijing, in fact, there is still some use, at least, we can pass on the news to the outside world, at least, with our loyal ministers, we can also share some of Zhao Linfu's sight for General Duan......"

"But right now, Zhao Linfu didn't show a hideous face for the government and the opposition to see, and we couldn't do anything, alas, ......"

Zhao Zhongxian's words made Ximen Zhongxiong's eyes narrow: "Perhaps, maybe there is a way." ”

"What's the method?" Zhang Jiuling and Zhao Zhongxian asked in unison towards Ximen Zhongxiong.

Ximen Zhongxiong touched his nose and slowly said his idea a little embarrassed.

"This method works!" Zhang Jiuling narrowed his eyes, and after thinking about it for a long time, he nodded affirmatively. "Zhao Linfu now wants the Jingshi to be stable, so that he can arrange it calmly, we just can't do it as he wishes, at least, if the entire Jingshi becomes panicked, lend him Zhao Linfu ten guts, he will inevitably have scruples."

"But in this way, the most fearful thing is that he will take risks." Although Ximen Zhongxiong had an idea, he knew the consequences of this idea.

"Take the risk, I wish he was taking the risk now, it's better than after the dust has settled, he will act calmly, right?" Zhao Shangshu also figured out this truth, slapped his thigh, and gritted his teeth viciously and said.

"Do you need to inform Old General Duan? Two digits. After Ximen Zhongxiong nodded, his eyes fell on the two of them.

"Old General Duan's side? Forget it, no matter how much we move around on General Duan's side, it will easily arouse Zhao Linfu's vigilance, which is inappropriate, not to mention that under the troubled waters, it will confuse Zhao Linfu's sight, and it will be more convenient for General Duan's side to act. After Zhang Jiuling pondered for a while, he slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice.

After Ximen Zhongxiong and Zhao Zhongxian glanced at each other, they also nodded silently and said no more.

"Rumors, ridiculous, ridiculous, how can there be such rumors?! Check the old man, where did this rumor of slandering the old man come from! Zhao Linfu's angry roar revealed the study, startling the guards guarding outside the study couldn't help but shrink their necks, peeked at the study tremblingly, turned their heads back, and continued to work hard to stand up for their posts.

And the expressions of several cronies sitting in the study were also very ugly, but they didn't dare to disturb Zhao Linfu, who was on fire. Rumors, not so much rumors, are more like the truth has been leaked.
