Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

In the evening, all the ministers in the court hurried into the palace.

The emperor, Zhao Zhuoxi, and the prince also moved to the imperial study.

In front of everyone, it was impossible for the emperor to kill Zhao Zhuoxi, so Zhao Zhuoxi put away the gun.

He leisurely moved a stool and sat down carelessly, with half-closed eyes and a sarcastic smile on his lips, looking at the court officials in the room who were arguing fiercely.

Qin Yuan's faction stated that Yan Gang's threat to the emperor was instigated by the queen, and that he should strictly investigate the queen and Prime Minister Zhou.

Zhou Xiang's faction stated that Yan Gang's threat to the emperor had nothing to do with him or the empress, and asked Qin Yuan not to make random connections and cause discord between the emperor and the empress.

Jiang Jiu was also confused by what he heard, and found that the ancient scholars did not use dirty words when they quarreled, and they were really good at quarreling.

However, this is not Zhao Zhuoxi's main purpose.

Jiang Jiu discovered a problem. It was too difficult for Zhao Zhuoxi to replace the prince and ascend the throne.

Not to mention that half of the court officials were Zhou Xiang's men, and some were isolated ministers. Just talking about the military strength, none of them were in Zhao Zhuoxi's hands.

Although Prime Minister Zhou does not have military power, the emperor does.

Emperor Ning holds four tiger talismans in his hands, which control all the military power of Daning.

Even though other military powers are in the hands of the marshals and generals, if you really want to fight a war and mobilize troops, you need the emperor's tiger talisman.

Therefore, Jiang Jiu understood how difficult it was for Zhao Zhuoxi to ascend the throne.

When he was so young and was forced by Prime Minister Zhou to hand over the imperial edict and the tiger talisman to the emperor, he hated it as much as he does now.

not the right time yet.

However, since Zhao Zhuoxi returned to Beijing, he was not without preparation.

Just when everyone was arguing heatedly.

Suddenly, urgent news came from the army on the front line.

"The Northern Qiang Kingdom has sent 300,000 troops to attack our dynasty. Your Majesty, please dispatch the troops."

As soon as the Marquis of Zhenguo returned to the capital, the Northern Qiang began to rebel, so the Marquis of Zhenguo immediately requested permission to return to the northern border.

The emperor had to agree even if he didn't want to. He issued a tiger talisman and ordered the Marquis of Zhenguo to immediately mobilize his troops and set off.

In less than a quarter of an hour, news came from the front line that the southern Nanli Kingdom was also attacking Daning. Two hundred thousand troops had crossed the river. Once they reached the canal, the attack on Daning would be unstoppable.

The emperor was a little flustered. "The south has always been guarded by the Marquis of Zhennan, but at the end of last year, the Marquis of Zhennan reported to me that he was unwell. Now we should send a team to support it..."

But who should we send?

The emperor set his sights on Zhao Zhuoxi, whose fiefdom was closest to the south.

But he couldn't leave the capital. Once he left, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains.

At this time, Qin Yuan's son-in-law Lu Cheng, the son of a general under the Marquis of Zhennan and also a famous general, was willing to lead troops to support.

When Zhou Xiang saw this, he realized that it wouldn't work because he had no one under his command.

With a turn of his eyes, he saw the Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran, who was busy with his own business.

He then recommended to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness Prince Ling can lead the troops."

It is hard to say that there is no conspiracy behind the simultaneous attacks on Daning from the north and the south.

Since the emperor does not want the ninth prince Zhao Zhuoxi to leave, he cannot let Qin Daxueshi's people get any advantage.

So when Daning was in danger, Zhao Zhuoxi and the emperor decided to take a step back.

Since the emperor didn't want Zhao Zhuoxi to leave, he just lived in the palace.

Didn’t Zhao Zhuoxi want the prince to threaten the emperor? The prince also lives in the palace. Since the emperor is seriously ill, he should be by his side to take care of him.

As for the Queen, regardless of whether she assigned Yan Gang to threaten the Emperor, Yan Gang was already dead and there was no evidence, but Nishang found the secret order between the Queen and Yan Gang.

Even though the Queen did not instruct Yan Gang to threaten the Emperor, she still interfered with the court and was summoned back to the palace and confined to her house for three months.

This means that Zhao Zhuoxi only has three months left to force the emperor to abdicate.

Both sides took a step back, and the Marquis of Zhenguo and the Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran rushed to the front line.

In this way, even if Zhao Zhuoxi forced the emperor to abdicate, he would have to deal with the Marquis of Zhenguo and the Sixth Prince Zhao Zhuoran.

At this time, the emperor still had complete trust in these two ministers.

After all the court officials left, Prime Minister Zhou suddenly called Jiang Jiu out of the palace.

He looked a little anxious: "Why are you still hanging out with the Ninth Prince? Grandfather brought you back to the Zhou family from the Chang family because he wanted to protect you."

Yes, Jiang Jiu’s real identity is Zhou Xiang’s granddaughter.

Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and said, "When I was in Su City, the prince treated me well. I didn't want to enter the palace at first, but he abducted me here..."

Zhou Xiang was anxious: "Once you come in, you can't get out."

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that Zhou Xiang was still very concerned about her.

"If you can't get out, then you can't get out. There's no point staying there."

Zhou Xiang looked at Jiang Jiu carefully for several times and suddenly understood.

"Have you been in love with the King of Qi for a long time? Think carefully. If you really follow him, I will not have a granddaughter like you."

Jiang Jiu snorted coldly: "I didn't consider you a grandfather in the first place."

"I don't have a father either. I only have a mother who passed away a long time ago. And my mother's death is related to Madam Chang..."

Zhou Xiang was so angry that he threw his sleeves and said, "You'd better take care of yourself."

Jiang Jiu watched Zhou Xiang leave angrily, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Zhao Zhuoxi came to her side and took her waist: "Don't be sad, life is full of regrets. One more is not too many, one less is not too few. I will live back in the original palace. Let's go back."

Jiang Jiu is a time traveler, so naturally he has no blood relationship with anyone here.

When it comes to feelings, it’s natural that you develop feelings when you spend a long time with someone.

To Jiang Jiu, Prime Minister Zhou is not as close to him as Ni Chang.

"Let's go back to the palace. What should we do here?"

Zhao Zhuoxi pinched Jiang Jiu's smooth little face.

"Don't think I'm useless. I was able to enter the palace because everything was arranged. Now all the guards in the palace are my people."

"After tonight, all the palace maids and eunuchs will be cleared out, as will these secret guards..."

Jiang Jiu glanced around and saw that Zhao Zhuoxi had a shadow guard team of about a thousand people, all of whom were elites.

But she had only seen a few of them, and they were all masked, with only their eyes showing.

"Have you imprisoned both the Emperor and the Empress?"

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled slightly. "How is that possible? They stayed in the palace all day anyway. I didn't stop the court officials from seeing them. How can I say they were imprisoned? I only imprisoned the prince."

To strike the snake, strike it at its most vulnerable part. Whether it is the empress or the emperor, they all want the prince to ascend the throne.

Now Zhao Zhuoxi only needs to have someone keep an eye on the prince.

"What's next? What should we do?" Jiang Jiu asked again.

Zhao Zhuoxi was confident: "Next... something big is going to happen in Daning."

In the Queen's bedroom, Queen Zhou didn't understand. She just went out for a while, and when she came back, the sky had changed.

She was so angry that she paced back and forth in her bedroom.

"Who can tell me what happened?"

The ones taking care of the Queen's bedroom today are Nanny Qian and Luyao.

Luyao is the top star in Huamanlou in Sucheng. She is an excellent swordsman and of course she is also Zhao Zhuoxi's person.

In addition to Luyao, there were several other girls from Huamanlou. Before Zhao Zhuoxi came to Beijing, they were all sent to the palace through various channels.

Nanny Qian patiently explained to the Queen, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Imperial Guards attempted to assassinate the Ninth Prince, but was counter-killed by the guards around him. The Emperor then had him apprehended, but he turned around and accused her of being your idea..."
