Chapter 212 The front door drives away the tiger, the backward wolf!

Shen Cangyu's position as regent depended on the help of those around him, but most of his influence was in the army and at the border.Most of the people who followed him from the downfall were generals in charge of the army.And Zhao Ying was born as a civil servant, and has been released all the time, so he has nothing to do with the generals... at all.

Moreover, most of his forces in the capital are cunning old foxes. Since Shen Cangyu has settled down with him, he will not change his course easily until he shows his downcast appearance.Those who can do it, and those who have exposed holes, after all the calculations, there are only a few people to talk to.

Among them, Lin Zimo is the most worthwhile and the easiest to calculate! !

First of all, his family background is extraordinary, pulling him alone is equivalent to pulling Shen Cangyu's lesser half of the border generals' power at the same time.Secondly, he is young, and his personality is not too stable, so he has a chance to strike.The second and most important thing is that he has little knowledge and experience, so it is easy to show his sincerity.

Of course, Zhao Ying's so-called Lin Zimo's "short-sightedness" does not mean that he is not knowledgeable enough, or that he is not strong in martial arts, but...he was confined in the capital for beating a child, and he rarely went to school, and he studied too much. It's just talking on paper, and experience is definitely not enough.Even in the court hall, with Shen Cangyu sending someone to help, he could barely hold on, but in human affairs, there must be flaws.

In particular, when Princess Yuan returned to Beijing and inquired about the news with Princess Jian, she heard that the Lin family had a very strict family education. No, besides, there is no such thing as his name in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion outside...

A full-blooded young man, young Aimu...can you forget about men and women?After hearing the news, Princess Yuan decided to use some 'means' on it.

However, originally, both Zhao Ying and her were going to focus on Shen Cangyu, and Lin Zimo was just passing along.But in the current situation, there is no hope for Shen Cangyu...

"Liang'er, Shen Cangyu... Really can't work harder?" Zhao Ying suddenly turned her head, and asked such a question to her young daughter, her attitude was actually very serious, without any perfunctory or embarrassing feeling.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. He and the regent princess seem to be very affectionate, and they have no intention of forming an alliance with us Zhao Ying." Zhao Liang'er's face darkened, recalling the scene of being humiliated in the imperial garden just now, her voice was a little hesitant Said: "And...his attitude is very firm, he doesn't give in at all, and he doesn't regard my Zhao family's favors as nothing."

Generally speaking, the regent who is in power and the young emperor's family, before the little emperor grows up, even if it's just to save face, he must maintain a "befriending" attitude, no matter how much he hates his teeth at the time, he will die, no matter what. It is more or less meaningful to maintain the surface.But Shen Cangyu's attitude towards her just now was completely torn apart, without any sympathy left!
According to common sense, even if Shen Cangyu is unwilling to accept her, he can still say good things, there is no need to embarrass her face to face, rejecting her so straightforwardly and mercilessly...

Could it be that there is something she doesn't know about it?Does Shen Cangyu have other tricks?Zhao Liang'er's eyes darkened, and she fell into deep thought.

However, she is a woman, so she can't help but think complicated, but Zhao Ying doesn't feel this way at all, she just pays attention to the superficial 'facts', "Since there is no hope for Shen Cangyu, let's just put this idle trick in It's on the table!"

The so-called free move was naturally Lin Zimo, who turned his head to look at Princess Yuan, and asked in a deep voice, "You and Princess Rong...how did you plan? You still decided to use that...what Xu Lingzhu? You Are you sure you can control them? After all, they are Shen Cangyu's stepmother and cousin, and they... will turn towards us?"

"What Princess Rong? It's just a mere stepmother!! Neither King Rong nor Shen Cangyu has ever recognized her? A cousin... You really have face! Hehe!" Princess Yuan sneered, her face full of disdain and contempt, "Xiaoshan The little girl who comes out of the ditch is just pretending!"

"Those two are idiots. Although Xu Lingzhu is better than Xu Jifei, she is naturally petty and too weak. If I can't even control them, will my princess's name be ruined for nothing?" She raised her face and hummed He let out a sigh, not that Man Zhaoying underestimated her so much, but sighed helplessly: "Actually, if there is another choice, I really don't want to use them. These two are stupid, Confucianism is Confucianism, but they know each other." The time is too short, even if I'm sure I can handle them, but in the end...not sure enough!"

"Mother, they are already the best choice. Everything...you have to take some risks." Zhao Liang'er comforted her with a light smile, "That Xu Lingzhu's temperament is really not good for the public. But his appearance and demeanor are barely acceptable. , the identity is also appropriate, in a short time, we will not be able to pick such a good candidate!"

"Actually..." She rolled her eyes and said with some hesitation: "Since the matter between me and the regent is no longer possible, it is fine for me to marry Lin Zimo. The Zhao family's attitude is so cautious and defensive... I'm afraid that even if we succeed in scheming Lin Zimo, he will make trouble and just refuse to marry me."

Zhao Liang'er frowned, "When the time comes, the matter will fail, and my reputation will be ruined. If I don't get married, I won't be able to have a good marriage... Then I will lose my wife and lose my army!"

"Liang'er, stop talking. That Lin Zimo is just a mere warrior, so he is not worthy of you. The reason why your father and I want to give you up to Shen Cangyu is because you have entered his house. To help the great cause of the Long Live Lord, you cannot be sacrificed for it, but Lin Zimo is nothing, it’s just a free move, and it’s a waste to give you to him, even if he is the wife.” Princess Yuan hurriedly wanted to Dispel her daughter's thoughts.

Two steps forward, she grabbed her daughter's shoulders and comforted her: "Good boy, don't worry, mother has already planned it out, and you must have a good marriage." Then, she turned her back and glanced at her with the corners of her eyes. After looking at Queen Mother Zhao, her eyes were full of deep meaning.

You can't marry the regent, and the little emperor, even though he is ten years younger than Zhao Liang'er and in poor health, his status is enough to make up for all the unhappiness.

As long as they do this, they can successfully suppress Shen Cangyu, occupy half of the court, and after five or seven years of hard work, the little emperor will be thirteen or four years old, which is enough to conceive a woman, and her daughter can enter the palace by herself , Seize the position of the Empress of the Palace firmly.

At that time, Liang'er was just in her early twenties, the most fertile age.As long as she can give birth to the prince smoothly, even if the little emperor doesn't live long and dies early, it won't hinder her.

In particular, although she thinks highly of herself, if she doesn't use any cruel means, such as directly killing a killer, it will be a deadly decision.Just relying on her and Zhao Ying to directly defeat Shen Cangyu... She has to admit that it is really not an easy task.Moreover, even if Shen Cangyu is defeated in the battle, Duan Sidao will still be there to support him!
It is quite a good situation to be able to stand on top of each other, or to kill one party and compete in two.At that time, even if the little emperor grows up and is able to govern himself, if he wants to intervene, he must get the support of one party... And they, as the little emperor's uncle and aunt, the "supporters" he decided, just want him to marry Cousin... even if she is a little older, what does it matter?

He couldn't help but refuse!
"This..." Zhao Liang'er rolled her eyes slightly, seeing Princess Yuan's expression of special meaning, and in an instant, she understood her thoughts. "It's kind of interesting..." She said in a low voice, in a voice that even Zhao Ying couldn't hear except Princess Yuan, who was closest to her.

"My son, I can't tell. It's your luck that Shen Cangyu rejected you!" Princess Yuan embraced her daughter, put her lips to her ear, and whispered, with a smile in her voice, "You're going to do it for me!" The great cause of your aunt and the little emperor, no matter how much effort you put in, even if you lose your whole life...how can it compare to my own mother's honor to the world, and the respect of all peoples!"

After hearing her mother's words, Zhao Liang'er's eyes turned slightly, and she didn't answer, but she couldn't hide the twinkle in her eyes for an instant.

"Since this is already the case, let's decide to use this Xu Lingzhu!" Zhao Ying looked sideways slightly, and saw his wife and daughter whispering there, and his expression changed for some reason.But he didn't ask at all. Instead, he stood up straight, blocked the Queen Mother Zhao's sight, and spoke to divert her attention, "Mrs. People go looking for her, as long as they catch her weakness, they won't be afraid of being disobedient."

"It's just that, after controlling her family... how to push her and Lin Zimo together, I need the empress dowager's help!"

With Xu Jizhu's family background, it is absolutely impossible for him to marry Lin Zimo, who is carrying a large sedan chair, because the two are not compatible at all.Therefore, if you want to succeed, you will naturally use 'unconventional means'.

"Brother, there is no problem. Just tell me what to do when the time comes!" The Empress Dowager Zhao didn't notice her brother's 'sinister intentions' at all. Hastily agreed to come down.

"Empress Dowager, my father sent people to Qingshan County, I'm afraid it will take some time, Xu Lingzhu and Lin Zimo... are not busy for a while, but the matter of seizing love and bestowing an official is all about speed, and Long Live Lord must hurry up." Deal with it!" On the side, Zhao Liang'er, who had already packed up the mood of "Mother Yi Tianxia", walked forward slowly, looked at Queen Mother Zhao with a smile, and suggested softly.

Originally, she only regarded Empress Dowager Zhao as an 'aunt' who could climb the ladder and give her power over the world, but now, since this might become her mother-in-law, then...her attitude is naturally more gentle.

After all, even if the Empress Dowager Zhao is her real aunt, she is indeed much older than the little emperor, and she is not a good match.Even if things go well when the time comes, and the Empress Dowager Zhao and the little emperor have no choice but to accept her, she still hopes that the two sides will not quarrel too rigidly, and that the Empress Dowager Zhao will have some 'sincere feelings' towards her.

In the harem, even if one sits in the empress position, it is still very important to have the support of the empress dowager, especially the empress dowager of the emperor's biological mother.

Didn't you see that the Concubine Pei was able to overwhelm the harem for so many years, even the Empress Yuandi and Emperor Yongping's true love, Duan Xiurong? Didn't she rely on the eccentric care of the Empress Dowager Pei, the mother of Yongping Emperor?
"Don't worry, Liang'er, I understand! I will never forget about your father." The Queen Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Liang'er with a smile on her face, and clapped her hands thoughtfully, "Eh... since it is Bing is expensive, so I will not delay, I will go to the emperor and ask him to give orders tomorrow morning."

"Brother, sister-in-law, wait for a while, I'm going to find the emperor!" After a hasty reminder, she turned around and walked out of the hall. Regardless of the night, she went directly to find the emperor who had been tired all day and had already rested early. The little emperor went.

"Auntie...you are really impatient!!" Looking at the back of Queen Mother Zhao going away, Zhao Liang'er suddenly chuckled, with a very delicate expression, "With such a temper, I really don't know how she got the position of Queen Mother!" She shook her head, her tone was calm, as if she didn't have the slightest malice, but the meaning in her words was a little hard to fathom.

"She is the youngest daughter. She was pampered by your grandfather and grandmother and grew up pampered. Even if she married Prince Gong, she didn't make much progress!" Princess Yuan curled her lips and smiled sarcastically: "Actually, with her ability, don't It is said that being a queen mother is not qualified even to be a princess of the county. If she hadn't been uplifting, she would have given birth to a son in one day. Wait until now? Sit in the position of the queen mother!"

"Yuan'er, don't say that, she is like this..." Zhao Ying stepped forward, hugged his wife's shoulders, looked at her daughter seriously, and said meaningfully: "Isn't it just right for us?"

"You say that...it makes sense!" Princess Yuan was stunned, then bent down and laughed, "By the way, my husband, I just had a sudden inspiration and came up with an idea, it's about our daughter's destination, let me tell you Listen, let's see if it's possible..."

This family of three was in the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhao, grandly planning the marriage of her son, who was also his own nephew, but they didn't feel it was inappropriate at all, and they were not shy at all.

The tiger at the front door has not been driven away, but the wolf at the back door has entered... Whether the Queen Mother Zhao has achieved a balance between the two parties, or led the little emperor into the dilemma step by step, it is really unknown!
……

At the mouth of the palace, Shen Cangyu and Luo Chuchen naturally didn't know what the three members of the Zhao family were up to. They were already exhausted after only concentrating on dealing with Xiaopingan.

After the little emperor got rid of his filial piety, he worked harder every morning, even if he didn't make a decision, he still had to sit on the dragon chair every day to watch the court and listen to the government.Even, on the second day after his filial piety, he stole the favor of his new uncle Zhao Ying, and arranged him in the household department as a second-ranked left servant.

Regarding this, both Shen Cangyu and Duan Sidao were caught off guard. Their original intention was naturally that they did not want to be mixed up in this pool of water that was finally calmed by many Zhao families. It is naturally the best plan for him to hold him down and let him keep his filial piety for three years.

Originally, they had prepared countless means to guard against Zhao Ying's sudden attack, but they didn't expect that this man was so urgent and decisive, completely disregarding the reputation of the little emperor, and directly affected the Queen Mother Zhao, and seized it right away. Love, bestowed on the official, is really a soldier who is very fast, cruel and ruthless.

Zhao Ying's conditions are not up to Duoqing's standard.After the little emperor issued this imperial decree, rumors began to spread throughout the court and even among the people, "Sure enough, children are timid. Even if they are emperors, they have to be accompanied by elders and uncles to be at ease." , after all, they are his biological grandfather and grandmother, and they are not even allowed to be filial to their son...'

It really smeared the little emperor.

On the other hand, Zhao Ying is clean and tidy. She has gained both fame and fortune, and she is not troubled at all.

I just feel sorry for the little emperor and the empress dowager Zhao, who thought they would be safe from now on with their backer, but unexpectedly, they attracted Zhongshan wolves, and they didn't know what would happen to them!
Zhao Ying's hands were too dark, and the little emperor's decree was too sudden, neither Shen Cangyu nor Duan Sidao could react, so that he succeeded.Zhao Ying took off her filial piety the next day, and went directly to the Ministry of Households to report, as a rule, she went to work.

I have to say that Zhao Ying's ability to handle government affairs is still very good, and he is the little emperor's uncle, so he has an advantage in himself, and he has attracted a group of royalists to surround him, even if it is just a few newcomers. For the time being, the official and veteran couldn't do much, and he was able to survive under the attack of Shen Cangyu and Duan Sidao.

Hastily entangled for several months, Zhao Ying was in a difficult situation several times, and was tricited countless times, but he got everything right and left, hooked up the four strings, and by some means, he even approached Duan Sidao and made him stop his movements , just stand by and watch...

Only Shen Cangyu was left, fighting Zhao Ying alone.

To be honest, for Shen Cangyu, even if Zhao Ying is good at dancing, with his current power, if it is not easy to crush him, it will not take much effort.However, the identity of Zhao Ying, the little emperor's uncle, is too sensitive.Obviously, he is the 'incarnation' of the little emperor in the court. If Shen Cangyu goes too far, it will easily arouse the vigilance of neutral courtiers.

After all, even if he is a 'mascot', the emperor is the emperor, the lord of the people, as long as he sits in the palace hall, on the dragon rider carved with nine dragons, he is no longer an ordinary person! !
The imperial power granted by heaven—in the eyes of the common people, the emperor—is another existence that can be called a god that distinguishes mortals.

Concerned about Zhao Ying's identity, Shen Cangyu didn't even dare to be cruel, so she could only suppress Zhao Ying and prevent his power from expanding, but she had no choice but to tolerate her own existence!
"He is the son of Mr. Zhao, the 19-year-old second place in the list. He has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has something to rely on behind him... This Zhao Ying is even more difficult to deal with than Duan Sidao!" Shen Cangyu leaned against Luo Chu in the Qingcang courtyard. On Chen's body, he was biting the beef strips in his mouth one by one, his snow-white teeth alternated with the sauce-colored beef, making a "squeak, squeak" sound, as if he was biting Zhao Ying's bones.

"Oh? A mere Zhao Ying... If the crown prince hadn't been abolished for committing crimes, he wouldn't even be allowed to enter the cabinet, how could he be as good as the old Chief Assistant Duan?" Luo Chuchen raised his eyebrows, not quite believing it.

Who is Duan Sidao?Assisting Emperor Yongping to ascend the throne with one hand, and serving as the chief assistant for 30 years, he is truly a person who is under one person and above ten thousand people!The level of Emperor Yongping's handling of government affairs... To be honest, without Duan Sidao's help, I am afraid that the people of the Great Jin Kingdom would have been in dire straits long ago. A mere Zhao Ying... It's not that Luo Chuchen has high eyesight and low abilities, and looks down on him. To the outside world, people who have not even participated in the political center of the capital say that he is better than Duan Sidao?Why is she so unbelievable!
"It's not that he's powerful, he's better than Duan Sidao. He took the lead, and his situation is much better!" Shen Cangyu gently stroked Luo Chuchen's hair, sighing faintly.

Duan Sidao is really powerful, he is also a minister without a master now - King Chang'an is dead, and Shen Cangyu preempted the two heirs, Duan Sidao doesn't even have a master like 'A Dou', he is What can Babel's ability do?
Moreover, he is also nearly 70 years old, and after being so stimulated, his energy has long been inferior to before. Now that he is right with Shen Cangyu, it is just unwillingness and self-protection. Heart! !
After all, what's the use if he just fights for it?He doesn't even have anyone who can assist him... He can't take the position by himself! !

——The conditions are not allowed at all!
"Zhao Ying is in his prime, and he is leaning on the little emperor, which is considered to be righteous. Even if the means and experience are far inferior to Duan Sidao, to me, he is much more dangerous than Duan Sidao!" Shen Cangyu With a long sigh.

"Then... what are you going to do?" Just leave it alone and let it grow?Luo Chuchen looked down at him, hesitant.

"What should I do? Let's do it!!" Shen Cangyu spread her hands, "In my situation, as long as Zhao Ying is 'honest', I won't be able to deal with him casually, but I can do this for the time being and wait. He made a move!"

Moreover, although Zhao Ying is considered capable and not impatient, his wife has a violent temper and has little patience.As for Zhao Ying... Maybe she had a lot of help from his wife and natal family back then, but she couldn't get tough with Princess Yuan. He was a relatively famous "wife slave". 'I killed Zhao Ying's sons.Zhao Ying was cautious and could bear it, but Princess Yuan...

I think it won't be long before the Zhao family will make a move... Shen Cangyu lowered his eyes, curled his eyelashes slightly, and cast a shadow, "Chen'er, you don't need to worry, I have my own ideas." He reached out and patted Luo Chu Chen's shoulder, smiling and comforting, with a sense of certainty in his words.

"Since you said that, I won't ask any more questions, but if you need my help with anything, just tell me!" Luo Chuchen said with a smile, as if thinking of something , suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, Aunt Lin sent someone to send me a letter, saying that she wants to marry General Lin, and let me go to help the staff!"
