    The sky in Bianjing was extremely gloomy, the rain was about to come but it never fell, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.  It¡¯s even more like this in Chui Gong Hall. It¡¯s quiet, very quiet, so quiet that it¡¯s almost suffocating.  Gao Taotao was sitting in the middle, with a particularly cold face, while Zhao Hao was full of resentment. Although Han Qi remained calm, his furrowed brows could not hide the anxiety and worry in his heart.  Xiang Queen stood aside and remained silent.  The imperial concubine Zhu was kneeling down, her hair disheveled, as if she was taking off her hairpin to await her punishment.  The imperial edict, the fatal imperial edict was taken out by her.  Although it was important for the King of Qin to raise troops in Chang'an, if it was in the name of rescuing his wife and children and taking revenge, it was ultimately a personal grudge.  You can make a fuss about this. For the sake of his own personal hatred, the King of Qin ignored the safety of the Song Dynasty and was not considerate of the people's private life.  Although the teacher is famous, his justice will be greatly reduced, there will definitely be some opposition, and the support among the people will also be reduced.  "However, with that imperial edict, King Qin sent troops to Jingnan, to help the country, and for the safety of the Song Dynasty and the legitimacy of the royal family.  Holding high the banner of righteousness is not just to save your wife and children, but also to take revenge.  It is about state affairs, about peace and stability, and about the country and the country of the Song Dynasty.  With such a noble and majestic image, it is easier to win the support of the subjects.  She hated the anger in Gao Taotao's eyes!  ¡°Is he stupid, or is Zhao Zhao too smart?  He always wanted to capture his family members and hostages, so that he could take advantage of them.  But he didn't expect that he would use this incident to dig a big hole and trick himself into jumping into it.  It¡¯s hard to tell whether killing two birds with one stone, Zhao Zhao directly benefited immensely.  After successfully rescuing people, there are excuses. The rumors are false and true, and the lies become true, completely ruining one's final prestige and reputation, and losing the support of the people.  He also successfully used this matter to attract his own attention, causing such a big loophole in the harem, and many major events were ruined by this stupid woman.  Gao Taotao¡¯s murderous gaze fell.  The evil mother-in-law's prestige was no joke, Mrs. Zhu suddenly became frightened and trembled all over.  "Stupid, do you think your son can become the emperor if you take out that edict?" "That's the official's order. I just follow the order!" Zhu didn't know where he got the courage. When the incident happened  .  She had expected such an outcome.  There won't be a happy ending for either side. If he sacrifices himself, he will be satisfied if his son can be fulfilled.  "At this time, you are still so stupid?" Gao Taotao really couldn't understand, how could his son accept such a stupid woman as his concubine?  Maybe he was too kind to the Queen.  Otherwise, how could such a stupid woman survive in the palace?  "Do you think Fukang is helping you? Do you think King Qin will put your son on the throne after entering Bianjing? People who are being used don't even know it!" "Is there any difference?" Zhu asked coldly.  Said: "Can King Yang let go of my son when he ascends the throne? Instead of others who will die in the future for unknown reasons, it is better to give it a try now. There is still hope." Zhao Hao's face turned pale. He was just a prisoner of the country.  Calling it cruel and unkind, he said angrily: "Stupid, Xu'er is my nephew. My empress's grandson, how could I" "De Zhao and Defang, the sons of Taizu, are also nephews of Emperor Taizong, and the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian  "My grandson, but what happened?" Zhu's eyes wandered, and she looked at Gao Taotao for the first time, and said, "They are both sons, so why does the Queen Mother prefer her second son? Although Xu'er is young, he is also your grandson."  Ah. It's not fair for you to do this!" "That's enough!" Gao Taotao shouted coldly: "Pull him down and lock him up. If one day King Qin comes to Bianjing, let's see if he will let your son go.  "Zhu's crying sound gradually faded away. Gao Taotao looked up at Queen Xiang and said leisurely: "Why didn't you tell me about the imperial decree earlier?" "I" Queen Xiang was speechless.  He probably knew that the imperial edict that Zhu stole from him caused trouble.  She had been very careful and did not take it out early because she was afraid of causing trouble.  But he didn't tell Gao Taotao.  As a wife, she naturally betrayed her husband and violated his "last wish".  Gao Taotao didn't ask any more questions, and she also fell silent, still feeling strong self-blame in her heart.  After all, he underestimated the determination of the eldest son. His preference for the second son made the eldest son psychologically unbalanced. Even until his death, he did not trust his biological mother.  Maybe you shouldn't think about putting your second son on the throne for the sake of the so-called overall situation.  Perhaps it would be better for him to hold his grandson on the throne and listen to politics behind the curtain than the current situation.  What a pity Gao Taotao smiled bitterly and said: "Zhong Zhen, open your eyes and see, all your hard work finally made wedding clothes for others!" "Go, go take care of Zhong Zhen!" Gao Taotao  Dejected and powerless, she no longer wanted to blame Queen Xiang.?, she seems to be right!  "My Lady, don't be sad. The matter has come to this, let's think about how to deal with the current situation!" Zhao Hao was a little anxious. He felt very unjust. He obviously didn't do anything, but now the world is serious, and he is a heinous person.  A treacherous prince who wanted to usurp the throne and murder his brother and nephew.  "Yes, where are Zhao Zhao's troops?" "They have left Tongguan and are heading to Luoyang!" Han Qi was worried, this was a very dangerous place.  Chang'an is too close to Bianjing, and now from Chang'an to the east, it is a smooth journey from a high altitude, and there is no dangerous place to handle.  The only city of Luoyang is barely a barrier, but how long can it stop the Western Army?  "What does Han Xianggong think should be done?" Han Qi said: "Military matters are not the most important. Although the Western Army is elite, Bianjing has 200,000 to 300,000 imperial troops and the city is so tall that it will not be easy to capture. If necessary, we will still  Troops can be mobilized from various places to consolidate the city's defense" "That's right, send an order to Daming Mansion immediately and let Wu Chong lead the Hebei army to serve the king!" Although the Beijing camp is there, Zhao Hao still doesn't feel safe.  In his opinion, if he adds the elite Hebei Army, he will be able to feel at ease.  "But what about the northern border? Once the Hebei army withdraws, the Khitan people will definitely have some changes, so it's better to be cautious!" Han Qi said: "Now we can no longer easily make moves that lose the support of the people. In fact, for this plan, the people's support must be  "That's the most important thing." "How do you say it?" Han Qi said: "The key to being able to defend Bianjing is not the number of troops, but the hearts of the people in Bianjing and the hearts of the officers and soldiers. If we can prove the king of Qin to the world!  "I told a lie, it's not the case, the situation might be better." "But what should we do?" Zhao Hao scratched his head anxiously, and suddenly said: "It would be great if the emperor could wake up and explain himself."  The best proof! If something unexpected happens, Zhao Zhao will have nothing to say now." Han Qi shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "How can it be so easy? Now that King Qin has sent troops, how can he want him to go back?  It's difficult. Even if the official comes forward to explain in person, he will say that he was coerced by us and used the lives of the queen and the prince as perjury. As for letting the sixth prince ascend the throne, he will also say that it is a delaying strategy and a puppet.  The trouble will never stop. " Zhao Hao was speechless. It sounded like it was a dead end. How could things develop to this point?  Gao Taotao said in a deep voice: "He has been planning for so long and has been waiting for this day. How can he give up so easily!" "We have to find a way. Half of the country in the northwest is already in his hands. If he lets his troops surround Bianjing,  That's okay!" Zhao Hao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, extremely uneasy.  Gao Taotao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and the regret in his heart deepened. Maybe the second son's quality was worse and he was not worthy of such praise.  It is right for a country to have an elder king, but if it is such an elder king, is it a blessing or a curse?  No, Zhao Hao has already used his brain and said: "Although their wives and children are gone, the Queen Mother and Zhao Fukang are still there!" Ever since the marriage to Chai Minyan fell through, this guy has long stopped treating Cao and Zhao Fukang.  Becoming a grandmother and aunt.  At this time, a cruel and cruel idea came into play.  "No, the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess are of high status and must not be neglected!" Han Qi was the first to object.  Zhao Hao said angrily: "In the final analysis, theythat is, the Empress Dowager has some relationship with the empress. The empress recognizes her aunt, but does the old lady recognize her niece? Zhao Fukangdoes he have anything to do with us? They are Zhao  Zhao's dearest relative, shouldn't he use the rat weapon?" "Your Highness, wake up. If you do this, the officials and people will continue to criticize you, and even the troops guarding the city will mutiny without waiting for King Qin's army to arrive." Han Qi was helpless to the extreme.  , he regretted that he should not have agreed to serve as the prime minister, so that he would be in such a state of supervision.  Seeing that Zhao Hao was still a little unconvinced, Han Qi only had to look at the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao. Only she could shock Zhao Hao.  After a moment of silence, Gao Tao said: "Zhong Ming, don't talk nonsense. Everything in Qingshou Palace is as usual. Just strengthen protection." "Yes!" Zhao Hao would never dare to disobey his mother.  Gao Taotao sighed and said: "Mr. Han, everything in the court depends on you. No matter what, we have to stabilize the officials. We can't cause trouble now!" "Yes!" Han Qi felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. Since King Qin announced  As soon as the troops left Chang'an, the officials in the court began to prepare for action.  Many people are passive and slow at work, and some are unknown, but their inner attitude is the same - wait and see!  No matter which one, King Yang or King Qin, wins, they will still be officials of the Song Dynasty, and their glory and wealth will still be there.  I hope these people can help meDefend the city?  Han Qi just smiled bitterly.  Maybe there are many people who have already made peace with King An of Qin. Bianjing City seems to be impregnable, but there are many loopholes inside?  Calling on all places to raise troops to serve the king?  Officials in the capital are watching, so why not the local government?  For this plan, the attitude of Wu Chong, the envoy to Xuanfu on Hebei Road, is particularly critical. It seems that efforts must be made as soon as possible.  When Han Qi was about to resign and leave, Queen Xiang suddenly ran out of the palace and cried with joy: "Queen Mother, the officials are awake!"
