Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy.

Princess Taiping said solemnly: "Chang'an seems to be calm on the surface recently, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent."

"Yesterday, the Qianniu Guards who were supposed to be rotated after the month suddenly took over half of the palace's city defense without my order."

"The six elite artillery battalions of the Youzhou Army, affiliated with the Huang Banner Division, approached Chang'an for thirty miles without authorization and brought the palace within the range of the artillery. They called it the encirclement and suppression of the demons of Heifeng Village."

"This is why I urge you to come back."

Speaking of this matter, a look of solemnity flashed between Princess Taiping's brows.

She is not afraid if only the remnants of the former emperor rebel. The elite Youzhou Army troops stationed in Chang'an and Luoyang alone are enough to defeat all the rebels.

But what is worrying is that some of these troops with unknown intentions support Shangguan Wan'er and her son, and some support Yinzhu's mother and son.

The only people who truly supported their mother and son were Fan Xin's direct troops, and most of these troops were stationed in Youzhou and the Bashu battlefield.

Hearing these words, Fan Xin frowned, with a sullen look in his eyes.

Youzhou Army has a total of 400,000 people, of which Lin Tie's 200,000 people were founded by him, which can be regarded as a hard-core direct force.

The remaining 200,000 people were commanded by Huang Qi and Fang Zheng respectively, and were recruited later.

He didn't expect that when these two guys had no hope of promotion, they would decide on his second son Fan Jing and third son Fan Ying.

Of course, it is impossible for the two children to have any interest in imperial power at such young ages. The two women, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Yinzhu, must have played a key role. "

"How many of the Sixteenth Guards have you mastered?" Fan Xin asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Princess Taiping hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Only the Yulin Guards obey my orders, and the remaining Qianniu Guards and Jinwu Guards come from the sects of my two sisters."

"Li Longji will start fighting among himself before he is eliminated. None of them are fuel-efficient."

Fan Xin sighed and said to Princess Taiping: "Don't worry, the throne has been ordered by elders and younger ones since ancient times. As long as the boss governs diligently, no one can usurp the throne."

"Not even the two women Shangguan Wan'er and Yin Zhu can do it."

"Husband, what did you say!" Princess Taiping stood up suddenly and stared at Fan Xin with her eyes fixed on her, trembling.

"Do you support our child becoming emperor?"

Fan Xin nodded: Yes, through observation during this period, I found that the boss has a stable character and is considerate to the people, and he already has the image of a benevolent king. Some time ago, he told me that he wanted to pardon Li Longji's descendants. "

"Although I don't agree with letting the tiger return to the mountains and not eradicating the roots, leaving the country and the country to him is the best choice."

Looking at her husband with a look of admiration on his face, Princess Taiping felt excited and moved.

What is exciting is that all the military power in the world is in the hands of Fan Xin. With his support, no one can shake the status of mother and son.

What was touching was that Fan Xin could choose to side with her among the three women and children.

To be honest, she has never encountered this kind of affection in her life.

It was even stronger than the touch her mother had given her.

Being looked at by two women like this made Fan Xin feel a little embarrassed even though he was thick-skinned.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and get some sleep. I'm really tired..."

Looking at Fan Xin who was sleeping on the chair, Ying Niang stood up and said.

"Queen Mother, do you want to wake up King Yan?"

"No need." Princess Taiping sighed softly and walked barefoot from the bed to him.

"The distance from Youzhou to Luoyang is at least 1,800 miles."

"My husband can come back so quickly. He has barely slept."

"I must have made meritorious deeds in my previous life. God would give me such a good man."

"You and I will work together to help Fan Xin onto Longtan and let him have a good sleep..."

……

One night passed, the dark clouds shrouding Chang'an suddenly dissipated, revealing the long-lost sunshine.

Princess Taiping was not the only one in a good mood, Zhang Shuo was also one of them.

"Haha, what a great Li Xiuyuan, he is indeed the talent that this pavilion likes."

"It was with his sharp tongue that he turned Kong Mengling's mess around."

Putting down the secret letter, Zhang ordered people to pass it on to the dynasty, including Tan Longbin and others.

When everyone saw Kong Mengling finishing swimming in the Yongding River and then going to the Beacon Tower, everyone had a smile on their faces.

"I really didn't realize that Kong Mengling was so incorruptible and diligent when he was a civil servant."

"As a result, once he took office as the Governor of Youzhou, he felt like a completely different person."

"Mom, you can eat and ask for things better than me. It's like a starving ghost reincarnated."

Tan Longbin laughed and cursed.

Zhang said he put away the secret message and stroked his beard with a smile.

"Since Kong Mengling has stayed in Youzhou, let's leave him alone."

"The most important thing right now is to place as many of our people as possible in some key yamen while Fan Xin is not interested in taking over the power."

"When the time comes and people gather around her, I don't believe Taiping and her son can still make waves."

Chao Chao nodded and said angrily: What Mr. Zhang Ge said is even true.

Fan Xin dismissed me as Luozhou Mu, now it's time to take it back.

Zhang laughed.

"Don't worry, someone will naturally mention this matter to the emperor during the court meeting tomorrow morning."

Speaking of this, he hesitated: The only thing that worries me now is the garrison.

I wonder if General Qianniuwei and General Jinwuwei will agree to help us regain the late emperor's kingdom?

When Tan Longbin mentioned this, he patted his chest and promised.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ge. Both generals were favored by His Majesty Li Longji back then. They have not been taken seriously since they were recruited."

"I have been dissatisfied with the imperial court for a long time. Once we issue an order, we will definitely lead an army to blockade the palace."

"By that time, everyone inside and outside Chang'an will be our people. I forgive her, the little emperor, for not abdicating the throne!"

"Okay, I will leave the important task of supporting the Tang Dynasty to you."

Zhang said standing up and raising his glass, and the other four also stood up.

"cheers!"

……

The next day, in the Tai'an Hall, hundreds of officials came here early to wait for the young emperor to go to court.

Since Di Renjie's treatment and cultivation, Zhang Shuo has naturally become the first person.

"Mr. Ge, do you think His Majesty can come today?"

Several confidants asked in a low voice, the emperor has not been in court for more than ten days.

They worried that they would have to wait in vain again.

"Don't worry, everyone, today is the great court meeting. As long as the little emperor still wants to make a difference, he will definitely come out."

"I just don't know whether he was carried out or carried out."

When Zhang said this, he had a half-smiling expression on his face.

During the conversation, the bell rang, and Princess Taiping accompanied the young emperor to the dragon throne and sat down.

His eyes swept over the ministers one by one. When it was Zhang's turn to speak, he didn't know if it was an illusion or something.

He felt as if the Queen Mother smiled.

Suppressing the surprise and doubt in his heart, Zhang Shuo took a deep breath and led the officials to speak loudly.

"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"All my dear friends, please live in peace."

Getting up from the ground, an authorized official stood up from the queue.

"Your Majesty, since the Luozhou government has been reorganized, the position of Patriarch is still vacant."

"I think a minister should be elected as soon as possible to fulfill his responsibilities!"

"Prelude!"

What surprised Zhang Shuo and others was that the Queen Mother agreed without even asking.

"Your Majesty, the six yamen have been seriously short of staff recently. Can we add a few more people?
The result is the same as before, accurate.

At this moment, everyone was completely relieved, and secretly thought in their hearts that it seemed that the Queen Mother and her son were really in trouble, and could not even take care of such a thing. Seeing everyone's expressions one by one, Princess Taiping sneered in her heart.

If you want to take something first, you must give it first. Since these idiots are seeking death, then give it to them.

"Dear ladies, do you still have any other books to write?"

"what?"

The ministers were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Finally, Zhang said that he had handed over his hands.
"Back to Your Majesty, no more."

"Then retire from the court!" Princess Taiping waved her sleeves and robe and walked towards the harem with the support of her maid.

Looking at the backs of mother and son, Zhang said his face darkened, and for some reason he felt a little nervous in his heart.

It's as if the emperor is confident.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang Ge, congratulations to Mr. Zhang Ge, our good days are coming soon!"

"Yes. In the past, none of the people we nominated were approved. Today, His Majesty has agreed to them all."

"It seems that the little emperor is exhausted, hahaha!"

Zhang said he was not fooled by the public praise and said solemnly.

"Go and write to Li Xiuyuan and Wang Lun in Youzhou immediately and ask them to confirm again whether Fan Xin has arrived in Youzhou."

"Why do I feel a little scared in my heart?"

Several close ministers looked at each other and secretly thought that Zhang Shuo was really a far cry from Di Renjie.

Li Xiuyuan patted his chest and promised that Fan Xin was on his way back to Youzhou. Why didn't he believe it?

As time goes by, more than a month passes in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the little emperor was hiding in the harem all day long, all the ministers couldn't sit still.

One after another, Zhang Yue was persuaded to launch a coup and forced Taiping mother and son to abdicate.

However, Zhang, who had not received a reply from Youzhou, would not let go even if he was killed, so he asked everyone to wait a little longer.

As a result, the wait lasted another ten days.

In the morning of this day, an urgent messenger came to Zhang's house with a secret message.

"Mr. Qizhengge, there is a secret message coming from Youzhou!"

"Send it over quickly!"

After receiving the letter, Zhang said he tore open the envelope and quickly browsed the contents.

Then he laughed loudly, and the doubts that had been weighing in his heart for several days disappeared instantly.

"Come here, call all your ministers!"

Half an hour later, in the Zhang Mansion lobby.

Dozens of civil and military officials sat on both sides, looking at Zhang Sai, who was at the head.

"So, Fan Xin really went to Youzhou to deal with the Fan family's corruption and perversion of law?"

"Not bad!" Zhang said calmly, stroking his beard.

"Before, I have been worried that this son has secretly sneaked back to Chang'an. Now it seems that I am overthinking."

"Li Xiuyuan and Zhang Lun said in their letters that they had personally verified that the seals and certificates were all genuine."

"Not only that, even Fan Xin's personal bodyguard Liuzi is also there."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were relieved. Although Fan Xin's private visit in disguise was a bit shady, it was still better than him returning to Chang'an and causing trouble.

"In that case, what are we waiting for! Immediately notify the two generals and let them Changan Palace!"

"We will lead people directly into the palace and force Taiping mother and son to abdicate!"

Tan Longbin said through gritted teeth.

"That's right! Fan Xin's atrocities have made the world angry and people resentful. If I don't restore my Tang Dynasty artifact right now, how long will it take!"

"Mr. Zhang Ge, just give the order. We Li Tang have been waiting for this day for too long!"

Faced with everyone's urging, Zhang Shuo smiled slightly.

"Everyone, I have been waiting for such a long time, not more than a day."

"Before restoring the Tang Dynasty, we have to go to Tai'an Palace to test it out."

“This way you can know yourself and your enemy, and be victorious in every battle!”

"What a great idea!" everyone said together.

……

Guanfeng Hall, Imperial Garden.

At this moment, Princess Taiping was wearing plain clothes, standing on a futon with bare feet, and learning gymnastics from Fan Xin.

According to what this guy said, practicing gymnastics once a day has the effect of relaxing muscles, strengthening bones, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Not to mention I feel really comfortable after practicing.

"How do you feel? Do you feel warm all over your body?"

Wiping his sweat, Fan Xin asked with a smile.

"Thanks to your Bezoar Angong Pills, I've been feeling much better recently. I think it won't take long for me to return to normal."

Princess Taiping put her feet together, slowly finished her exercises, and glanced at Fan Xin.

There was a look of satisfaction on his face.

At this time, Yingniang walked over in a hurry and whispered a few words in Princess Taiping's ear.

"Oh? This old guy is coming to visit me?" The Lord of Taiping Palace sneered.

"Tell him to meet me in the palace!"

"Yes!"

After Yingniang left, Princess Taiping wiped her sweat and said to Fan Xin.

"You hide first and see how I deal with this old guy."

After that, he walked towards the main hall...

In front of the palace.

"Mr. Zhang Ge, the Queen Mother is resting in the palace due to illness. Please keep your voice down when you enter later."

"So as not to disturb her old man, you know?" Ying Niang reminded her.
"Thank you, Chief Manager. I understand."

His eyes glanced at Yingniang, and Zhang Shuo said slightly seriously

To be honest, his heart is very complicated. On the one hand, he really wants to welcome Li Longji back.
On the other hand, he was afraid of Fan Xin's powerful force and did not dare to make the slightest move.

So here he is.

He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the Queen Mother had really lost her support.

Still trying to hide their eyes from others, trying to find an excuse to catch them all.

On the way to the main hall, Zhang Shuo took the opportunity to look back at the imperial doctor of the East Palace, who nodded and gave him a reassuring look.

Arriving at the bedroom, Zhang Shuo took a deep breath, raised his hands in the air and knelt on the ground.

"Old minister pays homage to the Queen Mother!"

"Get up." Princess Taiping's feeble voice came from behind the gauze curtain.

Hearing this, Zhang Shuo felt relieved and came to the front of the dragon collapse to lift the curtain.

When he saw the Queen Mother's face as pale and breathless as a silk thread, tears came out at once.

"Queen Mother!"

Looking at the cabinet prime minister who showed his true feelings, Princess Taiping sneered in her heart.

"Queen Mother, I heard that you were bedridden, so I specially invited a miracle doctor named Xilaile from Cangzhou to take a look at you. What do you think?"

"Ah, what's wrong with you, Queen Mother? Someone come quickly!"

After some busy work, Princess Taiping covered her mouth and said.

"I've been thinking about Zhangge since I came here. Since you're from Cangzhou, let's take a look!" He said and stretched out an arm from the curtain.

"I've been ill for a long time, so you should take a closer look."

"Yes, Queen Mother!" The miracle doctor bowed and walked to the bed and put his hand on the pulse.
