Shi Donghai clasped his fists and said, "Master, we can't sit still and wait for death. Last time we launched an attack on the court, which led to Zhao An's crazy revenge. Now Xia Zhi is unstoppable. He must use thunderous means to wipe out everything and control the overall situation."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple.
Sir, it’s time to rebel.
If you don’t kill someone now, you’ll be waiting to be killed.
Chen Yuan was trembling with excitement. As long as his father succeeded in forcing the palace, he could become the prince!
Chen Guogong stared at Shi Donghai gloomily, "They have explosives, what should we do?"
"What do you think this is?" Shi Donghai took out an explosive formula from his arms. Chen Guogong was startled, "How did you get it?"
"It was sent by the Queen Mother, telling us not to interfere in the salt manufacturing business."
"Why did the Queen Mother help me?"
Chen Guogong took the formula and fell into deep thought.
He knew that the salt seller was from the Luo family, and he also knew that some of his relatives' troops had entered the capital. However, the fight between the two sides was only under the water and did not move to the court, because a real fight would be of no benefit to anyone.
Shi Donghai said: "The Queen Mother needs money, so she can only arm her relatives. She may have ideas about the imperial power, but we can promise that it will not be too late to turn around and deal with her after suppressing everything."
"It can't be that simple." Chen Guogong snorted, "Now the salt manufacturing business has made everyone in the government and the public panic. The aristocratic family wants me to stand up and take charge of the overall situation. If I take advantage of the Queen Mother, wouldn't I stand with her? To deal with aristocratic families?”
Shi Donghai thought for a while, then took a step forward and said, "If I go to the harem to meet the Queen Mother, I might be able to find out what she has to say."
"Hurry over and Yuan'er will give the formula to the craftsman and try to configure it."
Duke Chen Guogong gave the order, and Shi Donghai and Chen Yuan exited the study together.
Chen Guogong came to the window and looked in the direction of the palace. His old face twitched slightly, "I have endured this for so long. I will never make a mistake. It's time for the throne to change hands."
Tianshui courtyard.
Zhao An learned from Jiuyin with a one-meter-long horse-cutting sword and swung it in a decent manner.
Cui Shixiang ran over panting heavily. Xu Ruqing, who was sitting under the tree watching the excitement, was shocked when he saw it and hurriedly greeted him, "What happened?"
"The disciple who just monitored the Duke's Mansion said that there were many carriages entering the palace, and there was trouble in the paper shop in the capital."
After hearing this, Zhao An did not stop waving the sword, and continued to practice in a strict manner, "Is someone making trouble in the salt shop?"
"No... Oops! Sir, you should stop."
Cui Shixiang became anxious and came up to seize the sword.
Zhao An said: "There is nothing to worry about. It is reasonable and reasonable for the Queen to invite relatives of the family to the palace for a gathering."
"Sir, have you ever thought that there are dead soldiers hidden in some carriages? What if we suddenly enter the forbidden palace?"
Xu Ruqing asked worriedly.
"No, there are guard posts on the way into the palace, and they will be closely investigated. However, there is a saying that is right. Someone has sneaked into the palace. They should be trying to find out the truth about the imperial court and prepare for forced execution."
"what should we do?"
"Nothing else to do, Chen Guogong won't take action in a short time, just watch the show."
Zhao An took the sword again and patted Cui Shixiang on the shoulder. The latter was completely confused, "Sir, why are you so sure that Chen will not attack immediately?"
"Forcing the palace to rebel is not a child's play. A single oversight will result in losing your head. How could Chen Guogong be so reckless after enduring it for so long? So what he needs to do now is to find out the reality of the imperial court and come up with a way to deal with it. He will not act rashly. Take action.”
Zhao An had already prepared a way for Chen Guogong to rebel. If he didn't go, he would whip him away.
As for who was included in the carriages entering the palace, they could probably guess that they were heading for Luo Qingshuang.
Because Luo Qingshuang's real behavior is not like a queen mother who serves the country and the people, she is just a troublemaker.
Furthermore, her promise to let Luo Xiaoxiao launch a new salt business was too abrupt.
She is obviously such a stubborn person. Last time she promised to give Eunuch Zhao dividends and let him act as an agent for new salt to fight against the family, but she just didn't want to stand up and reform the business.
Now she has changed her mind temporarily, which seems to mean that she wants to pull Chen Guogong to block the gun in front, and only Chen Guogong can do it.
But if Chen Guogong seizes power, there will be no point in her restructuring the business, so it's unclear what she really wants to do.
This can be verified by what Cui Shixiang said just now.
Generally speaking, aristocratic families would never allow anyone to poop or urinate on their heads. It stands to reason that Xinyan is so popular that they would have already knocked on the door. However, now they are all like quails, watching eagerly as Xinyan's business is in full swing. It shows that someone big is suppressing it.
"Old witch, old witch, Mr. Chen comes to you, are you going to give the Empress a knife? Let's see what your choice is?"
Zhao An collected his thoughts, lowered his eyes and continued to wield the sword.
As he gradually becomes proficient in sword skills, each swing can make an astonishing sound of breaking through the air.
In Cining Palace.
The gauze curtain covers the graceful phoenix body.
Luo Qingshuang looked at Shi Donghai who was kneeling on the ground with half-squinted eyes, not daring to raise his head, "Why did you come to the Ai family, sir?"
"May I ask the Queen Mother, is Eunuch Zhao here?" Shi Donghai was very vicious and went straight to the point with one sentence.
Luo Qingshuang smiled and said, "That servant has always been with His Majesty, so naturally he is not here. What? Sir, do you want to see him?"
"Hey, Your Majesty has appointed a minister to verify a matter. Please tell the truth to the Queen Mother."
"Say it."
"Why did the Queen Mother give the formula for explosives?"
Shi Donghai raised his head, a pair of triangular eyes looking directly at Wen Wan's face through the gauze curtain.
Luo Qingshuang yawned, and her expression became more and more lazy, "Since sir, the Ai family will answer you. The Ai family has been in the harem for so many years, like a canary trapped in a cage, always wanting to return to the family. The Ai family has no control over what the Chen family wants to do, but the Ai family hopes that after the Chen family comes to power, they can cede the south of Daxia to the Luo family, and we will not interfere with each other. The business of Xinyan is very booming, and we can each take half of it."
Shi Donghai was stunned.
He couldn't believe his ears. Is this what a queen mother of a country could say? They actually want to divide Daxia!
Absolutely appalling!
Luo Qingshuang sneered and said: "Sir, don't you believe it? The Ai family is hiding troops in the new city just to protect themselves. As long as the future emperor keeps his promise and gives half of the land to the Luo family, the relatives will never start a war. Let's divide the north and the south and live in peace. Nothing happened. In this way, if the Ai family goes south to be an orphan and leave their name in history, it will not be in vain to stay in the empty boudoir for so many years."
Cining Palace was quiet.
Shi Donghai is a think tank under Chen Guogong, not a stupid pig. This statement is too absurd. Even if he wants to believe it, the Duke may not agree.
"He will agree. If he does not agree, he will not be able to invade the palace. I will give you time to think about it."
Luo Qingshuang waved her sleeves and issued an order to expel the guests.
