Among them, Bi Zhongyou had the biggest reaction. After all, he often stayed in the palace and pretended to join Empress Cao.
If something really went wrong in the palace, it should not be hidden from him at all.
Dang Ji asked: "First Prince, is this letter really written by an official?"
This was also a question that everyone present was eager to know. For a moment, everyone looked at Zhao Zongquan.
At this time, Zhao Zongquan replied: "I still recognize Guan Jia's handwriting. This letter is indeed written by Guan Jia himself.
In addition, I also have here the calligraphy treasures originally given by the officials, which are also stamped with the official seals. You can compare them and take a look. "
After speaking, he took out another letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Ceying.
After some comparisons, everyone was completely convinced that this letter was really written by Zhao Zhen himself.
Bi Zhongyou was really panicked now, and immediately said: "Empress Cao has never told me about such an important matter. Could it be that they have begun to doubt me?"
To be honest, this question is indeed what Zhao Zongquan wants to know. If Bi Zhongyou didn't have the handle, he is confident that he would not dare to betray.
And now it has indeed reached the final stage. The palace has become the key to victory. It is the time when Bi Zhongyou must contribute, otherwise Bi Zhongyou will probably be abandoned in this discussion.
Faced with Bi Zhongyou's words, Zhao Zongquan asked: "You often come in and out of the palace these days, don't you feel that there is anything wrong at all?"
Under the attention of everyone, Bi Zhongyou thought again and again, and finally said: "Really not, everything in the palace has been business as usual recently, no one has been mobilized in either the Imperial City Department or the Palace Front Department.
The only thing that has changed is Funing Palace, but those are normal changes, and they are similar to previous years when the official family was seriously ill. "
Seeing that Bi Zhongyou really couldn't ask anything else, Zhao Zongquan simply didn't think much about it.
Anyway, the matter has come to this, and we can only give it a try. After all, even if Zhao Zongquan wants to give up now, those who have placed heavy bets on him cannot give up.
So Zhao Zongquan simply said: "Let's not mention the previous matters for now. Time is running out now. Once the official family dies, Queen Cao will inevitably pass on the imperial edict and make Zhao Zonghan ascend the throne.
If they really deceive the courtiers, let's discuss what the government should do next. "
Seeing Zhao Zongquan's question, Zhao Ceying immediately said: "Nowadays, there are female officials in the court causing trouble, and the palace is backed by the queen of the court, and the power is overwhelming.
If we want to put an end to this chaos, we have to do it for the sake of justice and justice. I also ask my father to accept orders at this critical moment and lead us to rescue the official family. "
Seeing that Zhao Ceying was so impressive, Zhao Zongquan was naturally willing to let him continue, so he added a few words.
"There is no need to mention this again. No matter what the Queen does, she is still my aunt and your aunt.
Although she has done something wrong now, it is not up to you and me to comment. It is better to inform the two Grand Masters as soon as possible and let them make a decision. "
After hearing this, some people were really confused, thinking that Zhao Zongquan really wanted to inform Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu.
I just wanted to answer the call and praise Zhao Zongquan for his filial piety.
Then Zhao Ceying said again: "Xiangong Han is currently praying at the Daxiangguo Temple, and many people from the palace are around him.…
Passing the news hastily, in case it alarms the enemy and alerts Empress Cao, then the official family and Mr. Han will be in a bad situation.
Moreover, the official family only has two princes, father and Zhao Zonghan. At the same time, in this letter, the official family has made it clear that Zhao Zonghan will not be allowed to succeed to the throne.
Thinking about it this way, the official family must have made up their mind to make his father the prince.
It is just and logical for the prince to lead the ministers, and no one can say anything wrong. "
At the end of the sentence, I didn’t forget to ask the others: “I wonder if you adults have any problems with what I just said.”
These words have been said for this reason, and even the stupidest person can understand the meaning of the father and son's words.
Immediately everyone began to express their loyalty, but everyone still wanted to save some face.
Until Bi Zhongyou said: "When the survival of the sincerity is in danger, I also ask the prince to plan for the world and the people, and to command the ministers to bring order to the chaos."
Others were still a little reserved at first, but seeing that Bi Zhongyou was shamelessly calling him Prince, they all changed their titles at the same time.
Zhao Zongquan was very happy to hear this, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was not until a while later that Zhao Zongquan calmed down and said, "Don't say any more. Without an official edict, the name of the crown prince can't be counted.
Let's discuss it first and see what to do next. "
Seeing that it was time to talk about business, everyone began to put away their flattering faces and began to sit upright.
Bi Zhongyou once again said first: "The official family had no intention of letting Zhao Zonghan succeed to the throne, and they wanted Li Hao to rescue him.
It would be better for us to directly replace Li Hao. While Empress Cao is not paying attention, I will lead the people in front of the palace to rescue the official family. "
Regarding Bi Zhongyou's idea, Zhao Zongquan thought about it and said, "Sir and horse in front of the palace, how much control do you have now?
You know, once we really do this, we will really break up with Empress Cao.
If we fail to rescue the official family at the first time, Empress Cao will definitely label us as rebels based on our status. By then, we may not be able to win people's trust based on this letter alone. "
Now the pressure came to Bi Zhongyou, who heard Bi Zhongyou say: "Many of the people in the palace who are in front of the palace are children of aristocratic families, and it is really difficult to grasp their thoughts.
But the situation at the Imperial City Division is similar. Zeng Chaosheng's ability to fully mobilize the manpower is probably not as good as mine.
So as long as you can catch him by surprise, you still have a good chance of succeeding. "
After hearing these words, Zhao Zongquan really did not dare to bet his fortune and life on Bi Zhongyou.
Of course, in order not to affect Bi Zhongyou's enthusiasm, Zhao Zongquan still praised him, but added at the end: "We should still take a multi-pronged approach. Besides Commander Bi, who else has other ideas."
Everyone below looked at me and me, but no one answered for a while.
Shen Congxing immediately thought of a question: "In this letter, the officials mentioned that Li Hao should go to the western suburbs camp to lead the troops with military talismans.
But if the military talisman is in the palace, it is impossible for Li Hao to get it under the current situation.
I think the official family will definitely not let it go. Does that mean that the military talisman has been handed over to Li Hao at this time? ”….
After hearing Shen Congxing's conjecture, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that this seemed impossible.
Only Zhao Ceying was thoughtful and said: "According to what Shen Congxing said, this matter is not impossible. After all, during the Yanwang Rebellion, Li Hao was given a military talisman.
I remember hearing someone say that I had held the military talisman for a long time at that time. "
Shen Congxing replied: "Yes, Li Hao has always been trusted by the officials. This time when the officials were in trouble, Li Hao was the first person they thought of.
I think that if Li Hao knew that the official family was in trouble, he would definitely not stand idly by, so can we work together with Li Hao this time?
Most of the people in the palace, whether they were from the Imperial City Department or the Palace Front Department, were from Li Hao's old department. It would be much safer if he came forward.
Secondly, he can use the military symbols to mobilize the troops of the western suburbs camp. Once an unexpected situation occurs, this is much more convenient than us deploying people privately. "
The idea proposed by Shen Congxing is naturally a good one. After all, the probability of success is greater and more guaranteed.
After hearing this, Zhao Ceying agreed: "Yes, father. As long as Li Hao agrees to support us, and we already have the upper hand, it will be very easy to correct the chaos this time."
But Zhao Zongquan didn't think so. If the power in Li Hao's hands were weaker, maybe he would still agree.
But when he thought that the power in Li Hao's hands could directly determine the outcome, Zhao Zongquan did not dare to agree to cooperate.
After all, Li Hao had repeatedly rejected his attempts, which made Zhao Zongquan really distrustful of his position.
So he said: "Li Hao is a man of uncertain minds. If the news is revealed to him in advance, who can guarantee what choice he will make.
Rather than guarding against him in fear, it would be better for us to work together. "
Seeing Zhao Zongquan say this, Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing were naturally embarrassed to say anything more.
After that, Zhao Zongquan asked everyone again and listened to their opinions one by one.
In the end, I decided to give it a try. Of course, the victory would not be decided by the palace alone, but by using the maximum strength and using the people from the western suburbs camp.
I only heard Zhao Zongquan say: "Commander Bi, after you return to the palace today, pay more attention to the defense in the palace, especially the defense situation in front and behind Funing Hall.
In addition, communicate with the cronies and let them be prepared. Once they get the news from me, they will be ready to attack Funing Palace at any time.
Of course, in addition to Funing Hall, you must also find a way to control Xihua Gate. "
After Bi Zhongyou heard this, he immediately agreed.
Then Zhao Zongquan then assigned tasks to others, asking them to contact the troops in the western suburbs camp so that they could also be prepared.
As long as the palace took action, they would have to quickly leave the western suburbs camp and go straight to Bianjing City.
After entering the city, it depends on the specific situation. If everything goes well in the palace, then it will be enough to temporarily put the capital under martial law.
But if the progress in the palace does not go smoothly, then all the city gates of Bianjing City need to be closed as soon as possible, so as not to be like King Yan last time, who was connected with the inside and outside by Li Hao, resulting in several city gates not functioning as they should. The effect of blocking the enemy.

, Zhao Zongquan continued: "In addition, I asked you to do this, and it is indeed for their own good.
After all, there will be so many soldiers and horses entering the city at that time. Although they can be closely guarded, there will inevitably be some oversights, and it will be bad if they are bumped into.
You will lead the people to maintain order, and others will know my attitude, so naturally they will not dare to be too presumptuous. "
To a certain extent, these high-sounding words gave Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing an excuse to step down, so they agreed.
After talking about the final arrangements, Zhao Zongquan asked the two of them to go down and make preparations.
But before leaving, Shen Congxing suddenly said: "First Prince, should you tell the Zheng family about this matter so that they can be more or less prepared."
Zhao Zongquan naturally knew that Shen Congxing was worried about his sister. In fact, if possible, Zhao Zongquan would also like to recruit the Zhongjing Hou Mansion to join the group.
But the Zheng family had always kept a distance from themselves, and it was really hard for Zhao Zongquan to trust them.
So he said: "It's better not to tell the Zheng family the news, so as not to cause trouble. When the time comes, it's better to send people to guard the surroundings of Zhongjing Hou Mansion and not to be disturbed."
After hearing this, Shen Congxing didn't worry too much. He just made a plan in his heart and asked Xiao Duan to lead others to guard him.
When we get here, everything has been prepared step by step. Just wait for everything to be ready, and the storm will break out.
But what Zhao Zongquan didn't expect was that as the western suburbs camp began to connect, Gu Tingye would be alerted.
After all, without Zhao Zongquan's knowledge, Gu Tingye had already made a list of people to whom he would seek refuge, and kept it up.
This time, I suddenly discovered that these people who were being watched were communicating with each other too frequently, and there were signs of gathering in their respective camps.
Now Gu Tingye couldn't sit still, so he immediately sent a message to Li Hao and agreed to meet for discussion. .
