Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 162
Empress Song also knew that she should act in a hurry, but she still had a lot of worries.

"Although I haven't met King Wei a few times, he is cowardly, timid and fearful. He has always been greedy for pleasure. He seems to have no ambitions, so he may not be willing to cooperate."

Zhao Pudao, "What the queen said is not necessarily true. From my point of view, the king of Wei, who seems to be indifferent to the world, is actually quite powerful and ambitious. People who are greedy for pleasure may not have great ambitions, but they must have ambitions, and their desires are hard to fill. Therefore As long as there is a little temptation, the other party will definitely take the bait."

Wang Xiuzhi nodded secretly, Zhao Pu's generation of famous ministers, vision is definitely not given for nothing, since he said so, he must be right.

"Empress, the old prime minister has been in power for many years, and you can't make a mistake when looking at people. Think twice, empress."

Empress Song sighed, "Now that things have come to an end, this is the only way to go. I ask the old Xiangguo to work harder, and I will go to King Wei and explain the matter!"

"The old minister accepts the order!"

Since Zhao Pu agreed, he naturally did not dare to neglect. He didn't even have time to eat dinner, so he changed a car and secretly rushed to the palace of Wei King Zhao Tingmei to inform King Wei of the matter in detail.

Zhao Tingmei is indeed what Zhao Pu said, although she looks cowardly and fearful, she is also ambitious and quite ambitious.

At this time, after listening to Zhao Pu's narration, I thought that it would be fine if it was someone else, but if I cooperated with Zhao Pu and cooperated with both inside and outside, then this matter would really be possible.

"Old Xiangguo! This matter is thanks to you and the empress who think highly of me. This king has the intention to act. But now that the Holy Majesty is fainting, this matter is extremely serious. If there is no personal promise from the empress, this king still feels..."

Zhao Pu knew that he had agreed, but he wanted to hear Queen Song's promise face to face.

So he immediately arranged a car battle and entered the palace secretly again.

According to what she had agreed with Zhao Pu and Wang Xiuzhi before, Empress Song bluntly said that before the emperor fainted, she was quite dissatisfied with the expansion of Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi's power and was also deeply worried.

He once said personally that he intended to support Wei Wang Zhao Tingmei to replace Zhao Guangyi.

Sure enough, Zhao Tingmei couldn't stand the temptation, her ambition and greed went to her head,
In fact, this person is indeed very powerful, and he also knew that Empress Song and Zhao Pu might use him as a gunman, but the opportunity was right in front of him, and he had to try to know whether he would succeed or not, so he still agreed to cooperate.

So at the court meeting the next day, after a group of civil and military officials saluted the vacant dragon chairs in the main hall, suddenly a pair of servants came out in a file.

Empress Song arrived suddenly.

All the ministers were surprised. After seeing the ceremony, the Queen unfolded her sleeves, and immediately a chamberlain held out the imperial edict and read out:
The empress ordered Zhao Tingmei, king of Wei, to supervise the country temporarily, and ordered Zhao Pu to return as the prime minister.

At Yi's order, a kind of civil and military minister immediately blew up the battalion.

"How could this happen!"

"This... this is too sudden!"

Because it was too unexpected, everyone in the court was in an uproar.

Empress Song frowned tightly. Although it seemed that the well was calm, her heart was already beating wildly, and she was in a mess again.

Zhao Guangyi's complexion changed several times, and he barely held back his words, but wherever his eyes met, someone immediately jumped out to object.

Several censors were already furious, and they questioned the authenticity of the imperial decree, suspecting that it was Queen Song's coercion and disorderly government.

That is to say, Queen Song was the mother of the country and a female, so they could barely maintain restraint. Otherwise, even if Zhao Kuangyin was here in person, they would have already stood up and fired.

The scene became more and more chaotic, but Zhao Tingmei kept sneaking glances at the third brother Zhao Guangyi, her face was as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, I saw people outside the hall flickering. The old Prime Minister Zhao Pu, who had always been resting at home, actually came to the court with a serious face and robes.

Seeing that Zhao Pu arrived, Zhao Tingmei felt at ease, took a few steps forward, came to the crowd, and declared loudly, "Everyone, listen to me! Yesterday, the holy dragon body Daan suddenly woke up, and specially asked people to take the king and Zhao together. Xiangguo has been recruited to the palace."

hiss!
Whoa!
All the ministers in the hall gasped together, is it true?

Seeing that the response was good, Zhao Tingmei became more courageous and continued, "At that time, the Holy Father personally passed down the decree, allowing me to temporarily serve as the supervisor of the country, and ordered Zhao Pu to return to the court and show his former glory. I dare not go against the Holy Will and have already agreed. come down."

Zhao Pu came to the front of the hall, first knelt down to worship Queen Song, and then bowed hands with King Wei, King Jin, and all the ministers.

"What the king of Wei said is very true. This happened last night. Mr. Zhao has been greatly favored by the sage, and he dare not disobey the king's order. That's why he came to the court on purpose today."

"Oh! That's how it is!"

"Since that's the case! That's all."

Empress Song, King Wei Zhao Tingmei, Prime Minister Zhao Pu, the three heavyweights finally suppressed the chaos above the court with the unanimous voice.

Everyone expressed their support.

In fact, many people still have doubts, but they think they are powerless to change this situation, so they have to admit it.

There are also some people who have recently been angered by the arrogance of Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi and his followers, but dare not speak out.

Now that there is the power of Wei Wang and Zhao Xiangguo who can compete with it, I can't help but be happy to see it succeed.

Jin Wang's party was immediately isolated in the court and became a minority.

At first, Zhao Guangyi's complexion changed drastically, and his face was full of anger, but slowly, he found that his party was alone and alone, and he was afraid that he would not be able to cause too much trouble, so he had to temporarily avoid it, signaling that his party should not come again for the time being. clamor.

So the hearts of the ruling and wild people finally settled down.

Empress Song let out a sigh of relief, and drove back to the palace.

When the court came down that day, Zhao Pu ordered people to go to the palace and the county palace to secretly warn the queen and concubine,

At this time, the crisis has not been overcome, Zhao Tingmei is not popular enough, and cannot last long, and King Jin will never admit defeat, and will definitely take action. The most urgent task is to ensure that Zhao Dezhao returns as soon as possible.

In the palace, Empress Song estimated the time needed, saying that Zhao Dezhao should return to Tokyo in 20 days at the earliest.

Wang Xiuzhi shook his head repeatedly, saying that Zhao Dezhao would be able to return to the capital within ten days at the earliest.

"How can you be sure of this?"

Empress Song was surprised.

"The Queen Mother's information is based on the information from the last survey report. The concubine has already sent messengers to Lingnan. The information they sent back is of a later date, so it is naturally more accurate."

Empress Song nodded, and let out a long sigh of relief in her heart, "Since this is the case, and it will be ten days soon, then the palace will feel at ease."

Here the concubine was talking, and a little servant outside the door overheard their conversation.

This person is Wang Jien's spy who stayed here.

Hearing this important information, he immediately found an excuse to sneak out and secretly reported the news to Wang Jien immediately.

Wang Jien remained calm on the face, but his heart exploded.

So, it's no wonder King Jin suffered a disastrous defeat in court.
