The two thousand palace guards in the Imperial City Division have been replaced by the Imperial Army.
The entire palace city was protected by ten thousand Dragon Xiang troops and was not airtight. Without Zhao Huan's order, a single fly could not fly in.
Today, Japan is a grand dynasty meeting, but all the civil and military officials cannot enter the palace. Although there was news that the prince and the officials said they were sick and did not dynasty, the group of people were still stuck outside the Mingde Gate and refused to leave, yelling to see him.
Official or prince.
Zhao Kai stood in a clear and sturdy manner in the distance.
And he was surrounded by Lu Yihao.
Bai Shizhong hurriedly walked and bowed and said, "Your Highness, the situation is obvious. The official family has obviously been under house arrest by the Eastern Palace. He pretended to be the official family to close the palace city, and he must have been secretly pursuing the rebellion that forced the official family to abdicate.
Your Highness must not be careless about what happened."
Lu Yihao also advised: "Your Highness, I also think that you should stop and suffer from chaos!"
Zhao Kai chuckled and said, "So what can we do? The imperial guards in the Beijing camp were all made by the Eastern Palace. We were blocked outside the palace. Can we still send troops to attack the city?"
Bai Shizhong's eyes flashed: "Your Highness, the three thousand troops of the Imperial City Division are still in our hands. If it really doesn't work, then forcefully break through the palace gate and rescue the official family!"
Zhao Kai shook his head: "It's not appropriate. The prince is ruthless, but I cannot be obscene with the emperor. Don't be in a hurry, let the ministers make a fuss outside the palace to see if the prince can hold on."
At this time, the Crown Prince Zhao Huan took people to the city gate tower, and behind him were Zhang Shuye, Li Gang, Wu Min and others.
Zhao Kai winked at Lu Yihao.
Lu Yihao immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Your Highness, our ministers have not seen the official family for several days. Please let Your Highness release the palace ban and let me go to the palace to meet the emperor!"
Zhao Huan smiled indifferently, but said nothing.
Li Gang's hair and hair were all hung up and said in anger: "Lu Xiang, now the official family is in a bad state, and is resting in the palace. You are the prime minister of the court and the head of civil officials. You do not want to be loyal to the king and the country, but gather important officials to attack the palace ban and disturb the disturbance of the
What is the intention of the saint?!"
Bai Shizhong also walked up and shouted: "Li Xiang!! Since the official family is ill, it should not block the palace ban and prevent us from visiting the saint! Moreover, Taiwei Zhang transferred the imperial guards into the palace without authorization and replaced them.
The palace is prohibited from guarding, this is an illegal act!”
Zhang Bangchang and several censors of the Tao also agreed: "Your Highness, blocking the palace ban and blocking court officials from paying homage to the emperor, is an act of violation. You also asked Your Highness to stop the horse and release the palace ban. Otherwise, it would be a plan for the Song Dynasty, our generation
The censor should advise him by death!”
The censors were filled with indignation, excited and kept shouting.
Several of them even began to prepare for a farce of a famous Qingliu minister hitting the palace gate, but they would definitely not be able to hit them. After all, the power is in their own hands, but they always have to see some blood.
Zhang Shuye looked at the riots in front of the city gate tower. Although there were still many people hiding in the distance in silence, the large group of people in front of him accounted for at least 30% of the civil and military officials in the court.
Uncle Zhang frowned.
He knew very well that today was just a test by Yun Wang Zhao Kai, and he did not really launch the general attack.
Otherwise, what these censors today criticized were not "unruly" but great rebellion and human ethics!
Zhao Huan was silent for a long time, suddenly sneered and shouted: "Listen, your father refused to attend the court because of illness and was resting in Yanfu Palace. This palace was ordered by the emperor to supervise the country. You can retreat quickly. If you dare to roar and gather in the palace again,
If you disobey your orders, you may not be able to use thunder means!”
The murderous imperial guards immediately bowed and arrowed to the outside world.
The rain of arrows flew across the crowd. Zhang Bangchang and others were frightened and immediately fled to the distance.
Zhao Huan was already prepared to live to the death. If he really wanted to force him to the point of being impatient, he might really order all the so-called important officials of the Song Dynasty outside the palace to be slaughtered.
Of course, if he really issued such a violent order, it would be hard to say whether Zhang Shuye would firmly implement it.
Zhao Huan looked around and his eyes fell on the little yellow gate with his head down half behind him.
His face twitched, and he immediately turned around and walked down the city gate tower.
Zhao Huanping retreated and smiled bitterly, "When will you dress up as a yellow gate and mingle with me?"
Wang Lin smiled without saying a word, but said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I want to see Cao Rou, please help me!"
Zhao Huan was stunned for a long time and said embarrassedly: "Why do you waste your time and energy on this matter again? I... I admit that I did not pay attention for a while and accidentally made a big mistake..."
Wang Lin suddenly interrupted him: "No, Your Highness, you must not accept this matter, otherwise Your Highness will never be able to remove such stigma in this life!"
"But……"
"No, but! From now on, Your Highness will firmly deny this matter... As for the rest, everything is left to me!"
Wang Lin hurried away.
Zhao Huan looked at Wang Lin disappearing into the shadow of the deep palace walls, his eyes flashing.
He actually wanted to admit this, but he and Cao Rou did have a good thing at that time, and they were knocked out by Zhao Ji on the spot. Both the evidence and physical evidence were there, and he couldn't even make a profit.
Unless, Cao Rou, who was witnessed, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids were killed and silenced.
That would not happen either. This matter was rumored in and outside the palace. If he really did this, it would undoubtedly become one of the latest evidences of crime and become the handle for Zhao Kai to frame him.
The problem is Cao Rou is still the daughter of Cao Kun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
It's not just about killing.
In this case, if Zhao Huan killed Cao Rou and silenced him, it would definitely arouse the rebellion of civil officials.
Linglong Palace.
This place was Cao Rou's bedroom. After the incident that day, she was blocked in the palace by the angry Zhao Ji, expelling all the deacons and eunuchs and palace maids.
The imperial guards guarding the palace saw that the Crown Princess Zhu Lian walked to the palace gate under the support of a small yellow gate and held the crown prince's order, so they did not dare to stop him and let the two of them in.
After entering the quiet Linglong Palace, Zhu Lian turned red, looked at the small yellow gate beside him, and whispered: "Sir Wang, there is no one here, you can let go. If you go to ask questions, I won't
Go in."
Zhu Lian actually didn't know what Wang Lin wanted to see Cao Rou suddenly, and why he insisted on letting her accompany her.
In her opinion, there was no need to see each other again, because the scandal that shocked the palace was a sure thing, even if Cao Rou was silenced, it would not stop the spread and spread of the scandal.
Wang Lin helped her all the way, and seemed to be polite, but Zhu Lian could detect some kind of murderous intent and distrust he had hidden, and a strong sadness appeared in his heart.
Because Zhao Kaixin's official concubine is Zhu Fengying and her sister, the prince now has a lot of suspicion about her and the Zhu family.
Not only the prince, but even Wang Lin in front of him seemed to not trust her.
A crystal tears rolled in Zhu Lian's eyes, and she was about to cry.
She wanted to explain but couldn't speak.
Wang Lin chuckled: "The Crown Princess should go with me, so that she can also give me a testimony."
...
The door of Cao Rou's bedroom was open, and a woman with long hair was about twenty-three or four years old, sitting silently on the threshold, holding her cheek with her hands, looking up at the clearing sky just now.
She was dressed in white, her starry eyes were shining, with a bit of coldness, and her whole body was filled with a sense of indifference of being resisted and far away.
She slowly stood up and looked at Zhu Lian, whose face turned red and even the corners of her mouth were trembling, but she was extremely calm.
Zhu Lian was originally a "victim", but now they met, but they showed timidity. Instead, the "third party" was more calm and unrestrained.
Wang Lin laughed in his heart and stood quietly aside.
He saw countless people, and Cao Rou in front of him was clearly a woman with a cold personality and a firm mind. She was neglected in the palace like this, and she was resentful and lonely in her heart, but she was indulged in lust, but she could not bear the loneliness and took the initiative to hook up with her because she could not stand the loneliness.
Zhao Huan, Wang Lin actually didn't believe it.
From the beginning, this matter began with conspiracy and ended with conspiracy.
Zhu Lian remembered that Cao Rou had a good relationship with her in the past two years, and the two often came and went and were intimate.
I thought I had found a sister in the palace who could express my thoughts, but in the end I was attracted to the house and attracted a vixen with an already unpredictable intention.
She harmed the prince and herself, disrupting all her originally peaceful life.
Zhu Lian said excitedly: "Cao Rou, why do you do this?"
Cao Rou silently: "You should ask the prince."
Zhu Lian was so angry that his body trembled: "If you hadn't been planning and seducing him repeatedly, how could the prince fall into your trap?"
"Even if you plan, it will take the crown prince willingly." Cao Rou's voice was strangely cold.
"You... are so shameless!" Zhu Lian's delicate body shivered, his face turned pale, and he was shaking.
Cao Rou smiled lightly and turned around.
Wang Lin stepped forward to support Zhu Lian.
...
"You are really planning for two years just to finally lead the prince into the throne." Wang Lin said lightly.
Cao Rou looked at the little yellow gate in front of her whose temperament suddenly became like a sharp sword unsheathed, and her expression changed slightly: "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is-"
Wang Lin chuckled: "Your plan seems to be perfect, but in fact there is a fatal loophole!"
Cao Rou's eyes were cold: "Is that so? The loophole you said is nothing more than me, but since the day I entered the palace, I have long put life and death aside. I am alive and proved that if the prince killed me to silence me, his crime would be
It's even more obvious."
"No, the loophole is not in you, but in the official family."
Cao Rou Gujing Bubo's expression finally changed a little: "What the officials saw with their own eyes, in full view of everyone, everyone's mouths melted gold and destroyed bones. Could it be that the prince can prove his innocence?"
"Learning may not be false, and seeing may not be true. The official family and the prince's father and son have a deep affection. How can they be confused by some appearances and rumors?"
Cao Rou showed a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "I know very well that the official family is a human being. If he can swallow this anger, then he is not an official family. In fact, no man in the world can stand this place, right?"
"You are right. Any man in the world will regard his wife's cheating as a great humiliation. But the problem is that you have no relationship with the official family, and you are just a title that is advisable, and you are actually with ordinary palace maids.
There is no big difference. There are three thousand palace maids in this palace, and the prince won one or two, and three or five were accepted. Even if the courtesy is not in line with the courtesy, it will not lead to rebel against the father and son of the official family."
Cao Rou's eyes froze: "Nonsense! I have been in the palace for several years and have been favored by the officials!"
Wang Lin laughed: "Although you have been in the palace for a long time, you have always been the lowest nobleman and have not been favored. There are all records in the palace, so it is not difficult to find out. I just went to the late autumn, considering your Cao family's Face, the official gave you a second-class title. And at that time..."
A faint smile appeared on Wang Lin's lips, and he thought to himself: Zhao Ji was already powerless at that time!
"Of course, I don't want to talk to you about these things. After all, whether you are favored by the government is not the key to the problem. The key is that the government may not be as angry as you imagined. He did not depose the crown prince. It’s not that you are afraid of the prince’s control of military power, but in his heart, you are really an irrelevant woman. Although he is angry, the emperor’s face cannot be held back, but for you... it is far from being a tragic person with the prince. .”
Cao Rou's face changed drastically: "Impossible! Who are you? You are talking nonsense here!"
Wang Lin shrugged and showed the Emperor's Sword with the Dragon and Phoenix Pattern.
Cao Rou looked pale and sat on the ground.
"If I'm not mistaken, your man should be Zhao Kai. You can sacrifice your life for your man to ascend to the throne."
"Or, for your Cao family, I don't know what kind of glory and wealth Zhao Kai promised your Cao family, but I know that as long as the wind in this palace changes, Zhao Kai will destroy your Cao family as soon as possible."
"Impossible!! He won't do that...he won't! Never!"
Cao Rou's mood had been completely disrupted by Wang Lin's words. She cried hysterically, and had long lost the coldness and rationality that she had begun.
"What he relies on and plans is nothing more than the deposed of the crown prince by the official family, or the crown prince takes risks, which leads to a palace change! But if the palace change does not happen, he will definitely cut off the contact with your Cao family as soon as possible... Think about the consequences!"
"Who are you?"
"Wang Lin from Qingzhou."
"Think about it carefully, you are not willing to die. It seems that you are not afraid of death... But if the lives of hundreds of people in your Cao family are alive, don't you care?"
...
"Sister Wang, why did you ask me to see her?" Zhu Lian trembled.
Wang Lin was silent for a while before saying, "The Crown Princess heard it just now, the Crown Prince is actually innocent."
"Really?" Zhu Lian suddenly sneered.
She remembered a lot of things in the past few days. Cao Rou used to come to the East Palace, but she did not avoid Zhao Huan when she had a banquet. Zhao Huan's enthusiasm for her now is not a clue.
So in the face of her questioning, Cao Rou responded calmly and asked her to ask Zhao Huan.
Although planning is planning, it is by no means one-way seduction.
"Wang Lin, do you suspect that I colluded with Cao Rou?"
"At present, the Crown Princess is not a person in the game. However, the two daughters of the Zhu family have successively married Donggong and Yun Wang. Even if they are the leaders of the official family, it will inevitably make people feel a little doubt... I have tried something just now, please ask me. Don't blame the princess."
Zhu Lian's pretty face was covered with frost: "If Young Master Wang can break the deadlock and save the Eastern Palace from water and fire, even if I die, I will not complain!"
