There is never a shortage of speculators in official circles, and this law applies to any dynasty.
So slowly, more and more censors from the Yushitai and admonishers from the Yuan Yuan began to impeach and slander Shi Miyuan.
These people didn't scold Shi Miyuan very harshly at first, but later they saw that the trend of scolding Shi Miyuan became more and more intense.
So they started scolding him fiercely, saying it was so unpleasant. Shi Miyuan was so angry that he couldn't breathe several times and almost died.
Xia Zhen felt uneasy when he saw that the situation in the court began to turn inexplicably, as if there was an invisible hand pushing and controlling it.
Thinking of the changes that Zhao Yun showed during the investigation, Xia Zhen felt scared, worried that Zhao Yun was behind all this.
If this is the case, then he must make up for it quickly, otherwise, once Zhao Yun takes power, Xia Zhen will die without a burial place.
So Xia Zhen quickly released Xia Gui and Xia You and sent him to the palace.
It turns out that the two of them were imprisoned by Xia Zhen before.
In the evening, Xia Gui came to Funing Hall disguised as an ordinary guard, and knocked on Zhao Yun's window without telling anyone.
When Zhao Yun saw Xia Gui coming, he sent Xiaohuangmen away.
"I, Xia Gui, pay homage to your Majesty and ask for your forgiveness."
As soon as they met, Xia Gui immediately knelt down and apologized to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun helped him up and said, "I know that your uncle Xia Zhen did all this, so how can I blame you?"
Xia Gui wanted to apologize to Zhao Yun on behalf of Xia Zhen again, but before he could speak, Zhao Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xia Zhen, don't beg for mercy. I know his difficulties. As long as you are loyal to me, I can give him a chance.
"
After saying that, Zhao Yun looked serious and said: "Xia Gui, tell me, how can I master the Palace Division as quickly as possible?"
The Dianqian Division is the army that guards the imperial palace, and it is also the main army that guards Lin'an City. Mastering the Dianqian Division means controlling the palace and Lin'an City.
Xia Gui's heart was shocked and he said uneasily: "As long as your Majesty is in charge, you will have the right to hold power, and you can directly control the front department and all the armies of the Song Dynasty, and no one can stop you.
If you do not have the title of pro-government, your Majesty will have no legal support. To forcefully control the front office of the palace is that your Majesty is taking the lead in causing a mutiny, and that is your Majesty is taking the lead in disturbing the legal principles of the Song Dynasty. The world will be in chaos, your Majesty will also lose the support of the people, and your safety will be unpredictable."
Zhao Yun's face was gloomy. Obviously, this answer surprised him, but it was the truth.
What Zhao Yun thought about most before was how to get Xia Zhen's support. Now it seems that this idea is a bit naive.
In terms of the reality of the Song Dynasty, even if Xia Zhen completely turned to Zhao Yun, it did not mean that Zhao Yun could control the palace affairs department.
Because the Dianqiansi was not Xia Zhen's private person, it was composed of one person after another. The bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty allowed them to supervise each other, and the relationship between mutual restraint was ubiquitous.
If what Xia Zhen did was in line with the laws of the Song Dynasty, the people in front of the palace would certainly obey his orders.
But if what Xia Zhen does is not in accordance with the law, then others will not cooperate, and Xia Zhen will not be able to command the front department. If the situation is urgent, Xia Zhen may even be directly counterattacked.
Otherwise, the Palace Chief will listen to Xia Zhen no matter what. If Xia Zhen controls the palace and Lin'an, wouldn't he be the emperor?
"Pro-government, pro-government."
Zhao Yun muttered and fell into deep thought.
Zhao Yun didn't want to pro-government, but Shi Miyuan and Empress Dowager Yang were in the way. Their eyes and ears were everywhere, and he had to do it secretly if he wanted to see anyone. How could he pro-government?
"No, I want to be in charge. If I can't even deal with Shi Miyuan and Queen Mother Yang, then what's the point of dealing with Jin Guo and Meng Yuan?"
Zhao Yun made up his mind and said: "Xia Gui, you have three things to do for me. First, secretly replace the guards of Funing Hall. These guards must be absolutely loyal and be able to obey my orders at critical moments.
Second, Zheng Qingzhi is one of my people, so establish a secret communication channel for me with him. Third, arrange for me to meet with Wei Jun Wang Han Xiaozhou as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements as soon as possible."
"You have to act quickly. Now both Shi Miyuan and the Queen Mother are having headaches from Yan Guan. They are focusing on how to deal with Yan Guan's bombardment. They must take this opportunity to complete these three things as soon as possible."
"Yes, your majesty, please rest assured. If Xia Gui fails his trust, he will die to apologize."
"Go ahead."

In Cining Hall, Zhao Yun came to pay his respects. Before he entered, he heard Empress Dowager Yang getting furious inside.
"What are these people going to do? Who is planning all this? Let the Ai family investigate thoroughly, especially Zhang Xingzhong. He is the one who started the fire. Let the Ai family investigate him."
"Yes, Queen Mother, please calm down, I will go check it out now."
Jia Chong responded carefully on the side, with sweat on his forehead. When he saw Zhao Yun come in, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty. For the first time, he felt that Zhao Yun was so kind.
"My child, please give my mother a greeting."
Zhao Yun respectfully raised his hand to salute Empress Dowager Yang and said hello, with a respectful attitude that made it impossible to make a mistake.
"Um."
Empress Dowager Yang didn't even raise her head. She said she had a memorial in her pocket and was still reading it, but her eyes were burning. It was obvious that this was another memorial that she didn't like.
"It is good for the Queen to worry about state affairs, but she must also take care of her own health. It is too hard for the Queen to review the memorial so early. Please pay more attention to her rest."
Queen Mother Yang raised her head and glanced at Zhao Yun, then lowered her head again.
"Yun'er, have you heard about what happened in the court these days?" Queen Mother Yang asked casually.
Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on."
"It's not like these officials are buzzing like flies. It's really annoying." Queen Mother Yang said while peeking at Zhao Yun's reaction.
Zhao Yun comforted him and said: "Yanguan has been raised by me for hundreds of years with good food and drink. He has been raised for a long time with a tricky taste, a temper like an ox, and a body full of thorns. If the queen mother feels upset, she can find a way to pick a few imperial sticks.
That’s the arrogance to kill them.”
"Hey, it can't be that simple. Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you. Just go back."
"Yes, mother, please leave me."
After Zhao Yun left, Queen Mother Yang's eyes suddenly became sharp and she asked Jia Chong: "Have the official family had any contact with outsiders in the past few days?"
Jia Chong bowed and said: "Go back to your Majesty, the official family has been in Funing Palace all the time. They have never seen outsiders or left the palace."
Empress Dowager Yang paused for a while and said: "This wild boy made such a big fuss some time ago that Mr. Shi stopped him after beating him for a while. How can it be so simple? Keep a close eye on the Ai family and monitor him closely."
"yes."
Just when Zhao Yun paid his respects to Empress Dowager Yang, Xia Gui was already secretly dispatching people and all those he trusted to the Funing Palace. This chapter has been completed!
