"Hahaha……"

Yanxi Hall, Zhao Gang came down from the court and arrived here accompanied by the eunuchs who were close to him.

The sad look on his face disappeared instantly, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Mother, this time the child's throne is secure." Zhao Gang said to Queen Xie proudly.

Sitting on the throne, Queen Xie frowned when she heard this and scolded: "After all, he is also your father. Now that he is in trouble, how can you be so happy? If it spreads and let that old dog Dou Wei know, He will chew his tongue in court again."

Then she stood up and came to Zhao Gang, straightening his clothes and saying, "You have to firmly sit on the throne before you can have anything to worry about. Before you ascend the throne, you still have to be careful."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Zhao Gang nodded, but he still couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

The third prince is now a useless man, and the second prince is trapped in Xiancheng with his father.

Among the current princes, no one can compete with him.

This throne is not his, but whose.

After the new year, he will be thirty-five years old.

After waiting for so long, it was his turn to take the throne.

Otherwise, how long will he have to wait?

Zhao Heng's expression was caught by Empress Xie, and she said: "You are duplicitous. Although the third prince and the second prince cannot compete with you now, don't forget that the fifth prince Zhao She has not been honest during this period. Liang Kai spread rumors in the capital." A lot of money was spent to win over officials for him, which meant that he was competing for reserves. "

After a pause, she continued: "The eight powerful families, the Ma family is now greatly weakened, and there is nothing to be afraid of. The Fan family is far in the southwest and has little influence in the court. The Dou family and the Xiao family have joined forces, and the Han family and the Wang family have joined forces. None of them should be underestimated, but the Liang family has been working in the south for many years, and they have also developed the art of forging cannons some time ago. They are probably very hidden, so they should be dealt with carefully. "

Zhao Gang didn't take it seriously after hearing this, "The queen is confused. The food of the world is coming out of Xie's family, but the King of Yan is also one of ours. We are afraid of what they will do."

Queen Xie shook her head, "How can distant waters quench the thirst of nearby people? If there is chaos in the capital, King Yan's soldiers and horses cannot fly over. If we want to pass through the territory of the Han family and the Wang family, they have to agree, right?"

Nodding Zhao Gang's head, she added, "Moreover, after you ascend the throne, King Yan will be a big problem after all, and King Yan may not really help you. At the moment, the Xie family and King Yan are just borrowing help from each other, and you are not Bewitched."

Zhao Gang laughed and said, "Queen Mother, you are too small-minded about your children. After all, Queen Yan's family is just a common people. When my general ascends the throne, how can he be allowed to sit firmly in Yanzhou."

Queen Xie nodded slightly.

After sitting for a while and chatting some more, Zhao Gang got up and left.

Upon hearing the news about Zhao Heng's figure, Empress Xie's eyes flashed with fierceness, "Your Majesty, you have been covetous and merciful all these years and have only accepted concubines every year. Now you are favoring a despicable prostitute. You will also take her with you during this Northern Expedition." You really deserve it.”

Decades later, she and Zhao Heng had long lost the affection they had back then. Instead, they had a lot of grudges over the prince's affairs over the years.

For her, the most important thing is that her eldest son can ascend the throne as emperor.

This is not only for Zhao Gang, but also for himself.

There were fights among the princes, and there were also fights in the harem.

Concubine Dou and Concubine Han are easy to get along with.

If their son ascends the throne, they become empress dowagers.

How could she have a good life in the future?

Thinking of this, her eyes became more determined, and soon she found her brother.

If Zhao Heng really can't come back, the establishment of a new king will be done within this month.

"Congratulations to the Emperor, long live the Emperor."

Here, as soon as Zhao left the Yanxi Palace, the eunuch Gao Wei who accompanied him bowed fiercely to him, with flattery on his face.

Since ancient times, when a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

This is a truth that every eunuch accompanying a prince understands.

Now Gao Wei seemed to see a great road ahead of him.

Wasn't the chief steward Liang Cheng just a eunuch who used to serve the emperor?

But at the moment, besides him, there are other eunuchs in the prince's palace.

In order to stand out in the future, he must please Zhao Gang.

"Hahaha, you are sensible." When Gao Wei shouted "Emperor", Zhao Gang felt as if he had drank honey.

Gao Wei saw Zhao Gang's expression in his eyes and became even more proud.

An idea popped up in his mind. This method would definitely make Zhao Gang happier.

Prince De's Mansion.

This is the residence of the third prince.

Dou Wei came here in a hurry after going down to court.

The news that Zhao Heng was trapped in Xiancheng is now probably known to all the nobles in the capital.

It is impossible for the third prince not to know.

Therefore, he needs to comfort him as soon as possible.

After all, most officials currently agree that the eldest prince will succeed to the throne.

When Dou Weiwei entered the door, he saw the third prince waiting in the front yard.

The third prince hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, what's going on in the court now? How do you plan to deal with it?"

Dou Wei then expressed his thoughts to the third prince.

"After the court, I discussed with Xiao Cheng. If the emperor is really captured by Beidi and goes north, I will join hands with his Xiao family to send you to the throne." Dou Wei said.

Xiao Cheng is now the general of Dasong Zhenguo.

This title is not just because of the powerful family.

It was Xiao Cheng who led the Forbidden Army and the Xiao family's troops to repeatedly repel the invading Tibetans.

Later, the Nanman rebels in Yizhou were quelled.

In recognition of his achievements, Zhao Heng gave him the official position of general of the country.

After arriving in the capital, Xiao Cheng and Yang Feng jointly took charge of the Forbidden Army.

Yang Feng commanded the left guard in front of the palace, and Xiao Cheng commanded the right guard in front of the palace.

He can mobilize at least half of the 100,000 imperial troops currently in the capital.

With such help, it would not be that easy for Zhao Gang to ascend the throne.

"If there is General Xiao, the matter will be half done." The third prince heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he is now disabled.

But he got married at an early age and has a son.

Now, he has no fun in the rest of his life, and the only thing he cares about is the throne.

Even if he can ascend the throne for a day, he can still pass the throne to his son.

"Uncle, if something big comes true, I will agree to any conditions." Zhao Mu held Dou Wei's hand tightly.

Patting Zhao Mu's hand, Dou Wei said softly: "I am your uncle. If I don't help you, who can I help?"

As if thinking of something, he frowned again, "But besides the Xie family, I'm afraid there is another trouble."

"Uncle, are you talking about the Liang family?" Zhao Mu asked.

During this period, the Liang family was very active, changing their previous attitude of not participating in the battle for the crown prince.

Dou Wei nodded, "You don't need to worry about this. In the capital, our Dou family and Xiao family are still the most powerful at the moment. The Liang family cannot make a big splash."

The two talked about some more things, and Dou Wei returned to the mansion.

Immediately, he sent people to Wuguan to keep a close eye on Xiancheng's movements and look for opportunities to secretly contact Beidi.
