After more than ten years of silence, the network of that year slowly developed unknowingly. When people thought that Wang Pang had been forgotten, no one noticed that those Wang Pang’s old troops had grown and gradually became the main force of the Song Dynasty army. If it were not for Xi Rather than the sequelae of the failure of the reform, those at the bottom who have tasted the benefits of the reform and benefited from it have experienced the frustration and distress caused by the suspension of the new law. This power is not enough to accumulate.

Nowadays, people in the palace who know the inside story of the emperor's body are restless, and ministers in the court are still arguing over the redistribution of interests. They turn a blind eye to the crazy exploitation of so-called royal relatives like Gao Gongji after they are suppressed. Everyone has their own concerns.

Zhao Xu just wants to stabilize himself. If he is not the life-saving straw that Zhao Xu desperately wants to grasp, Zhao Xu will find an opportunity to burn him. Wang Pang knows this better than anyone.

One whip and one tael of silver did not hit Gao Qiu, but King Ji.

The servant hurriedly ran back to the palace to see the banquet. The door of the living room was closed tightly. There were three shadowy figures in the room, saying something and nodding.[

"Stop, have you finished what the prince told you?" Manager Chang, the prince of Prince Ji's Mansion, stretched out his hand to stop the servant.

"Mr. Chang won't let anyone go around the king."

"Don't let people go"

"If you don't let him go, it doesn't count. He even told King Ji to give him a tael, so he'll give Gao Qiu a whip. Just now, Gao Qiu has already received a hundred lashes."

"What?" This sentence was full of surprise and atmosphere, and the tone of my voice couldn't help but rise a lot.

"Who is making noise outside?" The three people talking in the room stopped talking. Prince Ji, Gao Gongji, raised his brows and asked impatiently.

Manager Chang signaled his servants to wait at the door for him to open the door and took two steps forward and said: "Prince Ji, the servants just replied that King Zhennan not only refused to let him go, but also threatened to give him one tael of silver with a whip."

"What's one tael of silver per whip?" Zhao Hao frowned.

"Tell me what you want." Mr. Chang called the servant in to do something. The servant didn't dare to go any further when he stepped into the room. He stood timidly beside Mr. Chang and brushed aside the scene he saw in Wang Pang's Mansion.

"Pah!" The wine glass in front of Gao Gongji flew over and landed impartially at the servant's feet, smashing into pieces. "Who does the king think he is? Come here and speak, and the guards will snatch him back for me."

"Wait a minute," Zhao Hao said aside, "Prince Ji, why is Wang Pang still making a bonfire like a child? Haha, this will also anger you, Prince Ji."

"It's so annoying that he used my money to beat my people." After Zhao Hao said this, Gao Gongji calmed down a little: "King Wu, tell me if this king is looking for death on his own. He doesn't even have a bodyguard in his house." He who dares to claim to be the prince and the emperor is just too stupid to cut off his title, and even give him fourteen years of remuneration. Thinking that I will get angry at him, he will get all the money in vain without doing anything."

"Brother, please calm down. What King Wu said makes sense. Why do we need to be acquainted with him? At this time, it is more important to discuss important matters." Gao Gonghui also advised at the side.

Gao Gongji's fat chest puffed out and he took a few deep breaths and pointed at Manager Chang: "Go and see and ask this prince how to release him."

Manager Chang took the order and went out. Zhao Hao smiled slightly: "I am just a Cuju coach. Wouldn't the prince be so angry just because he won the New Year's Cuju competition against a few of us?"

"Forget about an ordinary Cuju coach. This Gao Qiu is in charge of the Cuju clubs in our states. Every year during the league, we have all the pressure on the gambling houses and clubs in various places. Besides, he married Zhu Zizhen's daughter, even though his seniority has dropped. He is also Concubine Zhu's niece and son-in-law. To be honest, he is from Prince Ji's palace. To be honest, it is not difficult for him to set up his own business. It's just that this kid knows that he has no foundation and knows how to understand current affairs." Gao Gongji said angrily.

Zhao Hao sneered and then said seriously: "The two princes are good at making money. Your combined capital is probably more than the emperor's treasury. Now even my brother, the emperor, can't do anything. If you two take action this time, just help me." Aren’t you afraid of being wasted?”

Gao Gonghui said hurriedly: "We are also close relatives. Didn't you just say that it seems that the emperor can't survive for long. Now that the two princes are so young, even if they can't inherit the brothers' inheritance and use the capital of King Wu to have a auxiliary king, that's right. It's just my aunt." The empress dowager won't even let King Wu get close to the palace now, which is a bit unkind and my brother can't stand it."

These two people have almost emptied the national treasury in the past few years. Anyone with a discerning mind knows it well. The Queen Mother can't help but give them a few words. But after all, they are close relatives and courtiers. They can't rely on the harem and have their own ways of making money, and they can't cut off the wealth of these two people. As for Zhao Hao and others He also had his own plans. The emperor sent him away from the capital because he was worried that the history of the Song Dynasty family would repeat itself, such as the Chenqiao Mutiny and the Candlelight Ax Shadow. These were all things that everyone knew but could not make public [

Of course, everything is based on interests, especially for the two brothers Gao Gong Hui and Gao Gongji. They are willing to spend a large amount of money to support Zhao Hao to quickly consolidate his team and the relationship between the DPRK and China. This is naturally related to There have been some recent rumors that the news, which was forbidden to spread outside the palace, was gradually known to some people through different channels. Of course, it was not only Gao Gonghui who knew about this, but also Wang Pang and even Tong Guan, who hurried to the palace.

The imperial palace looks more solemn and solemn at night. The guards behind Tong Guan make a sound of neat footsteps. In front of them is a group of palaces, where Chongning Palace is located.

"You guys go over there and take a look." Tong Guan dismissed the guards behind him.

Behind the tall wall of the palace, a palace maid was looking over here. She saw Tong Guan striding towards him and greeted her, "General Tong, are you sorry? Concubine De is losing her temper." As she spoke, she heard something breaking in the palace. sound

"Yeah" Tong Guan said muffledly but felt a little unhappy.

As soon as she stepped into the main hall, she saw Concubine De sitting on the dressing table. She stood in the front hall and took a picture. The palace maid and the eunuch were lowering their heads and listening to Concubine De's scolding. Concubine De looked up and saw Tong Guan who had just entered. Her eyes lit up and she immediately recovered her gaze. He was angry: "And what do you do as imperial guards?"

Tong Guan was stunned for a moment and then lowered his head and said: "Concubine De, calm down..."

Before he finished speaking, Concubine De angrily shouted: "You all, get out."

The maids and eunuchs hurriedly left the hall with their heads lowered and backwards, leaving Tong Guan standing there alone.

After everyone left, Tong Guan stood up straight, put his hands behind his back and hummed, turned around and closed the door of the hall with a bang. The little palace maid standing at the door facing Tong Guan shrank her neck and looked outside nervously to observe what was going on around her.

"General Tong, what do you think we should do?" Concubine De's tone became much softer now.

"How many times have I told you not to ask me what time it is now? What if I am discovered by the Queen or someone from the Queen Mother's Palace..."

"Okay, okay, I don't have it in my heart." The dignified imperial concubine softened her tone under Tong Guan's scolding.

Tong Guan walked to the side without saying a word and sat down. Concubine De slowly stood up from the dressing table and walked to Tong Guan's side. She kept putting her hand on Tong Guan's shoulder, as if trying to find a connection but hesitated. Tong Guan felt Concubine De's Change: He patted De Fei's hand and smoothly removed her hand from his shoulder.

"How is the Emperor's health?"

"It's still the same as before. I heard that I'm getting seriously ill again."

"It is said that"

"Of course I heard, otherwise what else can I do? Your Majesty has been in Chongning Palace for several months. Otherwise, how dare I call you General?"

"You called me just to tell me how many months have passed, Your Majesty." Tong Guan glanced at Concubine De. This woman was already in her thirties, but she was still very well-maintained. She was more charming than a mature woman back then, but it was a pity.

Tong Guan was tired of seeing these things and was tired of seeing them, let alone the emperor who had three palaces and six courtyards.

"Isn't this enough? The emperor has the closest relationship with the slave family. If he is not here, where can he go?" Concubine De said with a bit of sadness.

Tong Guan was actually a little angry when she said in front of me that the emperor and she were in good terms, "Then you think about it here, I may not go anywhere else, I'm leaving."

Concubine De also felt that she had said something wrong and hurriedly grabbed Tong Guan: "General, wait a minute. Ever since the birth of the eleventh prince, the queen has treated him as one of her own. The emperor's body is getting worse. Even the queen mother always asks whether she should follow him."

If the late emperor had not established a prince as soon as possible, the status of my mother and son in the palace would be in jeopardy. General Tong, you should think of a way." [

"Is there anything I can do to force the emperor to establish a prince? Don't tell me what I can do. Now the ministers in the court can do anything. Several times the prime minister proposed the prince's proposal in the court, but the emperor suppressed it. You are an imperial concubine and you don't know what the emperor is doing.

How do I know what I think?"

"If you don't know, you have to find a way. After all, Xu'er is also your flesh and blood. Do you want to watch our child be kicked out of this imperial city?"

"What did you say?" Tong Guan's eyes widened in surprise.

Instead, Concubine De calmed down and said calmly: "Don't you see how Xu'er looks like the emperor? Now, as the right general, you hold more than half of the power of the imperial army. Do you still have the weight to speak in front of the emperor? Now not only can I not see you,

Even Xu can't go to the emperor's palace. I heard that the queen mother has banned several princes from entering the palace. This is all due to their collusion. Once the eleventh son is appointed as the prince, the queen mother and queen will have the power. Don't say that we, mother and son, are not safe.

Even you and I don’t think it’s going to be okay. Have you forgotten how you had enmity with the Gao family back then?”

Tong Guan also recalled from Concubine De's words just now that Zhao Xu was actually his own flesh and blood. This was really a knife with the word "sex" in it. He had hidden it for so long, but it still left irreversible consequences. He accepted Concubine De's words.

It's even more exciting for Tong Guan. The Gao family himself got into a big disaster back then, and he's already on the same level as the Gao family brothers. What if the imperial power falls into the hands of the Queen Mother?

"Mr. Yang, what's wrong with you?" The palace maid's voice deliberately raised her voice outside the palace gate, and then Yang Jian said outside: "I have been ordered to deliver Korean ginseng to Empress Dowager De."

"Enter" De Fei stepped away from Tong Guan who was still there and returned to the dressing table.
