Qin Hui said angrily, "If we don't seize her military power, it will be a big hidden danger! The left prime minister protects her so much, could he be secretly colluding with her and trying to rebel?"

Zhao Gou was reminded by Qin Hui that his doubts arose again. In the past two years, Lu Yihao had always said good things for her. If he had to say that he had colluded with Zhao Yingluo, it was not impossible.

"Prime Minister Lu, how do you defend yourself?"

Lu Yihao said sternly, "What the officials and veterans say and do are all for the stability of the Song Dynasty. Once her military power is removed, or she raises an army to resist, there will be internal fighting in the Song court. How can the Jin people stand by and watch?" ?Either she accepts the edict and transfers military power to the court, but once the Jin people attack, who can stop them?"

Qin Hui sneered and said, "According to what you say, my great Song Dynasty has to rely on a woman to protect me. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at me?"

Zhao Gou's face was gloomy, and the doubts in his heart could not be eliminated. He would never allow anyone to challenge his throne.

"Lu Qing, do you have any other suggestions?" Zhao Gou asked in a deep voice.

Lu Yihao was anxious. Qin Hui was obviously targeting Zhao Yingluo deliberately. He wanted to kill Zhao Yingluo.

"The veteran still believes that depriving her of military power is not feasible! It will bring big trouble to the Song Dynasty."

Seeing that Lu Yihao defended Zhao Yingluo in this way, Qin Hui continued to slander her and said, "Lv Yihao has defended her several times, and his treasonous intentions are obvious! Please ask the officials to punish him."

The doubts in Zhao Gou's heart became more serious, "Prime Minister Lu is already old. He should enjoy his old age and should no longer work on state affairs. If you are granted the title of Crown Prince and Taibao, you can become a scholar!"

When Lu Yihao heard this, his face suddenly became miserable. The officials finally dismissed him from his official position, but only let him leave the court in a more honorable way.

He calmed down his ups and downs of emotions, walked to the middle and knelt on his knees, "Old minister... I thank your majesty for your grace!"

After the salute, he stood up, took off his pipe hat and put it in his hands, turned around, lowered his head slightly, and walked silently out of the hall.

Looking at his gray hair and obviously rickety body, Zhu Shengfei felt a sense of desolation, as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died. Prime Minister Lu had been dismissed from office, and the warlords would probably have an even harder time in the court in the future.

"Pass the imperial edict, please ask the Supreme Emperor and his brother to move to Lin'an! The imperial family of the Song Dynasty will accompany them! Shen Wanshu has raised private soldiers with evil intentions. She will immediately deprive the princess of her title and all military rights. The private soldiers she has raised are temporarily under the supervision of Lan Gui Rule! Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Wang Zaixing, Wang Shan, Wen Boyuan and other generals were transferred to the northwest to secure the frontier fortress."

Zhu Shengfei wanted to stop it, but it was in vain. Without Lu Yihao, the veteran war faction, who could compete with Qin Hui and other surrender factions?
The most important thing is that those in the main war faction are also afraid that Shen Wanshu will have rebellion. Rather than letting her cause civil strife, it is better to seize her power as soon as possible!As for fighting against the golden man, there is someone else who can take her place.

……

At the end of May, the summer grain harvest was harvested. Zhao Yingluo was busy instructing farmers to plant corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes and other summer crops when a servant hurried to the field.

"The Supreme Emperor urgently summons the princess to the palace!"

Seeing how anxious he was, Zhao Yingluo replaced the farmer, mounted a fast horse and galloped towards Kaifeng City.

When she rushed to the palace, Emperor Zhao Ji, Zong Ze, Lu Haowen, Li Gang, Yue Fei and others were all in the Zichen Palace! .

What surprised her even more was that there was Douzhi Zengze in the palace!

Zhao Yingluo was stunned and glanced at Lu Haowen. Lu Haowen spread his hands and expressed that he didn't know what was going on.

Seeing the important people arriving, Zeng Ze walked up to Emperor Zhao Ji and spread out the edict, "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty issued an edict... to find out that Shen Wanshu was raising private soldiers with evil intentions... to deprive her of the title of princess... and escort her to Lin'an for disposal..."

When Zhao Yingluo heard this, she immediately understood Zeng Zhi's purpose. Zhao Gou had a showdown!He finally became afraid of the power he had and began to take action against himself.

After hearing the edict, Zhao Ji was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. "You are a disobedient and unfilial son! You don't even listen to my words! You are so angry with me! You are so angry with me!"

The faces of the rest of the people were also extremely ugly. If they really followed the edict, all their efforts over the past two years would have been in vain!

Lu Haowen gave Zhao Yingluo a look, meaning do you want to show off your cards or not?

After Zengze read out the edict, he looked at her haughtily and said, "Shen Wanshu, will you go to Lin'an with our family?"

"Go to hell, you big-headed ghost! Tell the officials that I took care of you well in Kaifeng City. I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the climate in Lin'an, so I won't go!"

Seeing her openly resisting the decree, Zengze said angrily, "How dare you! How dare you resist the decree? Someone will come and tie her up and take her to Lin'an!"

Zengze gave an order, and Si Lanjue of the Imperial City, who had followed him to declare the edict, immediately rushed into the hall with his people and was about to swarm him.

However, at this moment, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wang Zaixing, Wen Boyuan and other generals drew their swords and stood in front of her. Yue Fei was not angry and shouted sternly, "If anyone steps forward, blood will be spattered in five steps!"

Seeing that these generals were openly defending Shen Wanshu, Zeng Ze was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, "You... you... do you want to rebel? If you don't stop, you will also be held accountable!"

Yue Fei snorted coldly, "The princess, as a woman, led us to defeat the gold thief. It's fine that the officials didn't reward her. Instead, she issued an edict to seize her military power and escort her to Lin'an. It's really chilling! If that's true, what will happen to us and others? It’s better to do the opposite!”

Facing the crowd of people, Zhao Yingluo actually didn't panic because she had a revolver in her hand!Whoever doesn't have a sharp eye rushes ahead, she will be the first to shoot him.But she didn't expect that Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others would actually resist the decree for her.

What surprised her even more was that Yue Fei, a great loyal minister in history, actually spoke of rebellion at this time.

Lan Jue considers himself unparalleled in combat power, but Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others on the opposite side are not weak either!Even if he has the help of his subordinates, he may not be able to kill these battle-hardened generals on the opposite side.

The scene was at an impasse for a while.

At this moment, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji spoke, "Zengze, you are waging war in the Zichen Palace, aren't you afraid that I will deal with you?"

Zengze apologized and said with a smile, "What did you say, Your Majesty? I came here under an order. Shen Wanshu conspired to rebel and had evil intentions. She must be taken to Lin'an for questioning."

Zhao Ji snorted coldly, "Plotting to rebel? Who is rebelling against?"

"Of course it's the Song Dynasty!"

"Do you know who she is?"

Zengze was taken aback for a moment and asked with some doubts, "Your Majesty, please tell me!"

"She is……"

Just as Zhao Ji was about to reveal Zhao Yingluo's true identity, an old woman's voice came from outside the palace, "She is the daughter of the Supreme Emperor, the current princess!"

Zhao Ji looked up and saw that it was his imperial sister-in-law, Empress Dowager Yuanyou, the wife of Emperor Zhezong.

Zhao Yingluo looked back, who could it be if she wasn't Queen Mother Yuanyou?
Zhao Ji stood up and walked down the steps, and quickly came to Queen Mother Yuanyou, "The emperor's sister-in-law is not in Lin'an for rest, why are you here in Kaifeng?"
