"A bunch of waste!" The seventh prince, Zhao Gongqi, could only step forward and kick his subordinates. Seeing them fall down, he still couldn't understand his hatred, so he gritted his teeth and kicked a few more times. Can't stop, what use do I need you?"

Seeing the master's anger, a group of servants didn't dare to breathe, they knelt down and bowed their heads to admit their mistake, anyway, it was right to do this gesture now.

Seeing this, Zhao Gong not only didn't calm down, but became angry, and stepped forward to kick his heart one by one. They were all useless trash.

Concubine Zheng hurried over to see her son's incompetence, her face darkened immediately, and she stepped forward to stop her, "What are you doing?"

Seeing his mother, Zhao Gong finally calmed down, pursed his lips for a while, and then said with a dejected face, "Mother, they all ran away."

The originally good situation is now ruined, and if they let the tiger go back to the mountain, they will definitely make a comeback.

Concubine Zheng had received the news a long time ago, she was annoyed and furious, but she knew more clearly that now is not the time to throw herself into chaos, the more unfavorable the situation, the more calm and composed she must be.

"Things have happened, and it's useless for you to vent your anger on them. After all, we were at odds." She comforted her son.

If it weren't for the fear of causing criticism and attracting attention, she would have sent away those disturbing things in the name of the old emperor, and it would not be so troublesome now.

Then she sneered, "The monks can't leave the temple if they can leave. They left by themselves, but their wives, children, relatives and friends can't leave. Now there is no need for a fig leaf anyway. Just put these people in prison and control them. We can't let them go anymore." Run away, this is the hostage we are holding in our hands." His expression suddenly became fierce, "Now declare to the public that these are all rebellious officials and thieves who murdered the emperor's life, if they dare to rebel, they will use these hostages to threaten them……"

"But, concubine mother, we don't have a jade seal, so the imperial decree can't be issued..." Zhao Gong obviously still has concerns. bit.

Concubine Zheng glanced at her silly son, what kind of dreams are there at this time, act first, push the old emperor's death onto those lowly bastards, and then seize the opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. The throne has been firmly established. After a long time, the history books have been tampered with. Who knows the inside story?
But she didn't say this to hurt her son, but clapped her hands and asked her confidant to bring something for her son to see.

When Zhao Gong saw that the jade seal was actually on the plate, he was overjoyed and snatched it away, "Mother Concubine, where did you find it? With it, things will be easier..." Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly found that the jade seal was actually a jade seal. It was a fake, so he looked at his mother in disbelief, "Mother Concubine, you..."

"That's right, this jade seal is a fake, but if we don't say it, and if the courtiers don't say it, who in the world will know it's a fake?" Concubine Zheng said complacently, "Tomorrow will hold a grand court, just announce it as we said, and then take it If this jade seal is released, if someone jumps out and says it is a fake, then let him go to see the first emperor directly."

Looking at his mother's cold side, Zhao Gong couldn't help shivering, as if he didn't know his mother, and thought of his father belatedly, "Where's the father?"

At this moment, a servant staggered in and cried, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty was killed by a thief and passed away..."

Hearing this, Zhao Gong looked at his mother with a blank face in astonishment, then took a few steps back, and suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, looking at his mother in horror, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Concubine Zheng ignored her son's gaze, and when she turned her head to face the crowd, tears burst out of her eyes suddenly, and she cried sadly, "Your Majesty, why did you go like this?"

Then everyone knelt down together again. After hearing the secrets, they probably had to be buried for the old emperor. When they thought of losing their heads, they couldn't help crying, which made Concubine Zheng cry very much. false.

The development of the matter was very rapid. Zheng Guogong rushed into the palace, and soon took control of the palace in the name of his nephew. At this time, Zhou Commander of the three battalions entered the palace, and after receiving the order, he went to arrest the fourth prince, the sixth prince, and the eighth prince. The prince's wife and children, as well as relatives and friends, were sent to the prison, and the prison was overcrowded for a while, crying loudly.

As for Zhao Jin, he is not married, has no children, and has limited personal relationships, so he can't handle any hostages. Concubine Zheng is naturally very annoyed, but the matter has come to this point, so she can only admit it with her nose.

Just as he was about to expose the matter, the Seventh Prince and Concubine said, "Isn't he deeply in love with the prostitute who was recognized by the Han family? Then put everyone in the Marquis of Weiwu's Mansion in prison. If it's not enough, there are As for the Duke of Wei's mansion, I don't believe he can't handle him..."

"Inappropriate." Zheng Guogong said, "Mighty Marquis has always supported His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness. We can't chill the hearts of the heroes, so we can't touch the Han family now. As for Wei Guogong, his family has always held a neutral attitude on the surface, but in reality He is also a secret supporter of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, so he cannot move."

Concubine Zheng heard her brother's implication that she would not move for the time being, but it would not be too late to turn against the water at the critical moment, so she nodded in agreement with her brother, then looked at her daughter-in-law to comfort her, "You are still young, It is understandable to be careless, and you will naturally grow up if you learn more in the future.”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." The Seventh Prince replied obediently, but she didn't think so in her heart, she just felt that the mother-in-law was favoring her natal family, no, she couldn't let her mother-in-law kick her natal family away, she had to find a way Increase the voice of the mother's family.

On the contrary, the Seventh Prince Zhao Gong who was sitting on the side did not say a word. He looked at his mother, wife, and uncle as strangers at the moment. No one asked his opinion, and his mother was even more arbitrary. puppets in their hands.

Seeing her son's silence, Concubine Zheng pretended to ask her son's opinion.

Zhao Gong sneered, "Mother and concubine can decide."

What Concubine Zheng wanted was this sentence, now that the old emperor is dead, this world should be hers, and she can finally enjoy the taste of power once again.

At the great court meeting, she sat in a high position as the empress dowager, looking down at the officials, and now there was no one standing in front of her, and she was more proud than ever before.

The Seventh Prince, as the successor of the new emperor, is also sitting in a high position. At this time, he is watching the false will being circulated in the hands of the officials. He straightens his back subconsciously. I can also think clearly, first sit on the throne, and then slowly clean up those who stand in the way, one day he will be able to be the master of the house.

It's not that no one has noticed that the will is inappropriate, but now except for the seventh prince, the other princes, including the eldest grandson, are not only invisible, but they are also labeled as treason and regicide, and their wives, children, relatives and friends are all under their control. Da Prison, how many heads do they have enough to be chopped off?

So everyone kept silent and silently passed the will to the next one.

Empress Dowager Zheng spoke at the right time, "Now that the last emperor's edict has been confirmed, it's time to prepare for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony..."

"Ma'am, Mr. Shoufu hasn't arrived yet?" Cifu wanted to struggle for a while. After all, Shoufu hadn't confirmed the authenticity of the edict. Old man Feng was never ambiguous in major matters. It just depends on whether he is determined now?
Empress Dowager Zheng's mother and son secretly scolded the assistant for being a traitor and cunning, but Feng Shoufu's absence at the scene is not a problem. The mother and son looked at each other, and Empress Dowager Zheng said, "Where is Feng Shoufu? Why is he still missing?"

At this moment, the little eunuch hurried into the palace, and then whispered a few words into the ear of the newly appointed eunuch, the palm print eunuch. The palm print eunuch's expression changed, and he hurried forward to report to Queen Mother Zheng's mother and son in a low voice.

"Feng Shoufu has passed away?" The Seventh Prince couldn't hold his breath, and asked in surprise.

All the courtiers were in an uproar when they heard this. Although Feng Shoufu was always old-fashioned and liked to pretend to be dead, he was always in good spirits. Why did he die suddenly like the old emperor?
Cifu felt his hands trembling. Feng Shoufu died at a very timely time. It seems that he had expected this bloody storm long ago. One was to avoid disaster, and the other was for his descendants, so he chose to die at this juncture. But being involved in this turmoil, it would be fine if the Queen Mother Zheng and her son had been sitting firmly on the throne, otherwise, the entire family would be implicated.

The Empress Dowager Zheng glanced at her son, what was she shouting at this time, so she directly passed her son and said, "Feng Shoufu must have followed the former emperor. Feng Shoufu has made great achievements in assisting the government in these years, so he should be given the posthumous title of Wenzheng to enjoy the Taimiao. What do you think? "

Feeling his mother's sharp gaze, the seventh prince coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, "Mother Concubine... what the Empress Mother said is very true."

The Empress Dowager Zheng nodded in satisfaction, but she sneered in her heart. She spared the third concubine and did not arrest her and sent her to prison. This old man Feng is ignorant. He chose to die at this time. She was not as good as he wished, and wanted to avoid disaster ?No way, she made the decree of sharing the Taimiao. Old man Feng had better pray that their mother and son will sit on the throne forever, otherwise the Feng family will have no good fruit to eat.

Jisuke's hands trembled even more, it seemed that he was going to be sick, and he was going to die of illness.

A false edict allowed the Seventh Prince to successfully ascend the throne in the capital, and immediately set the year name as Chongde, and granted amnesty to the world.

Chang Xi, who was far away in Yiyang, received the message of safety from Zhao Jin at the first time, and finally let go of his hanging heart, and the same message was also received by Mr. Xie Si at the first time. For this reason, he sat in the study After a long time, he finally reached the point where the world was in chaos. He frowned. At the beginning, Zhao Jin went to Beijing to avoid this kind of situation. Self-disruption.

After walking out of the study and discussing with his father, he said to Chang An, the elder follower beside him, "Madam Chang, please come to Xiefu to have a talk."

Chang An responded, then bowed and retreated.

The old man Xie looked at his son, "The matter has come to this point, we must work together to overcome the difficulties. Don't worry about Chang's daughter anymore, you have to see her ability."

This woman alone can make up for the shortcomings of her son and others. Now that troubled times are coming, she should abandon all prejudices.

Master Xie Si nodded and said yes, "Father, don't worry, the son knows it well."

The old man Xie didn't make a sound anymore, the traitors and officials in the capital were punished by everyone, and now not only can they gain righteousness, but they even have Emperor Daxing's edict and the jade seal of Chuanguo in hand, then the general trend is on our side, and the odds of winning Bigger than expected, he didn't have much to worry about.

Chang Xi received the invitation from Lord Xie Si, without hesitation, she went directly to Jiefu, and only by uniting all forces can she achieve her goal.

The front yard of Xie's house was quite lively today, when Chang Xi arrived, he was directly led to the study room where he knew the Fourth Master.

At this time, there were quite a few people sitting in the study room, and no one was surprised when they saw Chang Xi coming in. This Yiyang upstart jumped up too fast, and they had already learned not to look at her with old eyes.

"Chang Niangzi, please." Master Xie Si went out to greet him personally.

Chang Xi nodded towards Master Xie Si, and went straight into the study room without any hesitation. The other people in the room also knew Chang Xi, so they all got up to say hello, and the scene was very harmonious.

The people in this room are all nobles from the southeastern gentry, and they are all clear in their hearts. Chang Xi has money, food and medicine, which are urgently needed at present, not to mention her ambiguous relationship with Zhao Jin. Why bother to offend others?So, where can I still stand up to the airs of the past?

Chang Xi didn't put on airs, but looked directly at them generously and peacefully. This was her first appearance in this circle, and she was a complete success.

After sitting down and discussing in detail, she had a clearer understanding of the energy of this group of people. It can only be said that their abilities are just like that. After years of accumulation, they are not as good as her achievements in more than half a year. No wonder everyone couldn't stand the airs, and no wonder Zhao Jin raised food himself before.

The fourth master Xie felt Chang Xi's gaze, and his face was a little hot, so he could only support himself, "The situation was unknown before, and everyone dared not let go of their hands and feet to do it. Now that this situation has come, naturally they will no longer be intimidated. , the troops in the Northwest are directly descended from Prince Duande, and our recruitment over the years is also a big force, as long as the money and food are available, the chances of winning are great."

Chang Xi felt hehe in his heart, it sounded like he didn't know what to do, but in reality, only they knew.

But she didn't reveal it on the face, she just said, "Has the route been arranged for this food and medicine shipment to the northwest?"

Master Xie Si heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that this was the problem, and he finally managed to save some face, so he said: "This was planned early in the morning, starting from the southeast, and our people are guarding along the way. Nothing is lost."

When Zhao Jin was still young, the old mighty Marquis Wu lived in the northwest. They had already started to lay out the layout of the south and the north at that time, and worked hard for more than 20 years to get through this road.

Chang Xi nodded, thinking that this group of people are really not good at doing business, otherwise they would have made a lot of money by relying on this way for more than 20 years, so why worry about not having enough money to prepare military funds?
Forget it, she didn't say anything, so as not to poke the hearts of these old men again.

"At that time, I will personally lead the team."

Master Xie Si was as astonished as everyone else when he heard the words, and then quickly stopped him, "Ms. Chang, no, this is too dangerous. What happened, we can't explain to the eldest grandson?"
