Queen Mother Song said: "There is no need to worry about this matter. The Ai family has appointed Prime Minister Zhuang Ping, General Li Rubing, and Zong Zheng Zhang Ying as the ministers of government affairs. In the future, they will work together to assist the new king, and there will be no problems in the court."

"The Empress Dowager is not the old minister who is worried about the world. The new king is young, and the queen has lived in the deep palace for a long time and is not in political affairs. Will the affairs of the court completely fall into the hands of Zhuang Ping, Li Rubing and Zhang Ying? The old minister also heard that Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing have a very good relationship and are also ally for many years. Although Zhang Ying is a master of the clan, his ability is limited and he cannot beat Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing. Then the entire Zhao will fall into the hands of people from other families. Queen Mother, you said, when the new king grows up, how can he fight with Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing, who are powerful in the court and the country?" Lin Qingfeng said.

"I wonder what the two military advisors think should be done?" asked Empress Dowager Song. She had thought of this question for a long time, so she asked Zhang Ying to serve as the Minister of Administration. The purpose was to check and balance Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing. However, after Lin Qingfeng said this, Empress Dowager Song felt more and more that Zhang Ying would not be the opponent of Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing. Even with the support of the entire royal family, it would be difficult to compete with Zhuang Ping.

Lin Qingfeng said: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry. The new king is young and the empress does not understand political affairs, but the empress dowager is different. When the empress dowager was by King Wei, he also commented on the affairs of the court. Now the empress dowager can completely imitate the old affairs of Empress Dowager Mi in the pre-Qin period and temporarily take charge of the government affairs. When the new king grows up, he can return the power. I believe that with the empress dowager, Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing, they dare not act recklessly."

This is Lin Qingfeng's purpose. It is difficult to balance Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing with their current strength. Even if there is one Zhang Ying, it cannot be done. Only by letting Empress Dowager Song stand at the front desk and take charge of the government in the name of Empress Dowager Tai. Empress Dowager Song is the main palace of King Wei and has a high reputation both inside and outside the court and the country. Even though he is a female person, there is no precedent for women to regent. Therefore, as long as Empress Dowager Song is brought out, even if Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing are in power, they dare not act recklessly.

Empress Dowager Song thought about it seriously and thought Lin Qingfeng's words were very reasonable, but Empress Dowager Song was also a little hesitant. Although she could come forward to the regent, most of the civil and military officials in the court were Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing. She supported Zhang Yuan's succession and offended a large number of royal families, and was isolated and helpless. Under this situation, even if she came forward to the regent, it would be difficult to curb Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing.

"What Military Advisor Lin said is reasonable, but although the Ai family is the queen mother, they have no strength in the court. Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing, one of them, controls all officials and the other holds military power. The Ai family is alone and alone. How can they fight with them? Even if the royal family led by Zhang Ying supports the Ai family, it is difficult to do it, and the royal family may not necessarily support the Ai family." said Empress Dowager Song.

Seeing this, Lin Qingfeng knew that the time was ripe, so he said, "If the empress dowager has doubts, then the old minister and Zuo Sheng can help the empress dowager."

"I wonder what the military advisor has to do?" asked Empress Dowager Song.

Lin Qingfeng said: "The Empress Dowager, the Old Minister and Zuo Sheng also have some reputation in the court and the army. If the Empress Dowager trusts the Old Minister, he can appointed the Old Minister as the Minister of Responsible. As for Zhang Ying, the Old Minister can convince him to support the Queen Mother. In this way, three of the five Ministers of Responsible support will be enough to compete with Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing."

Zuo Cheng, who was standing by, was suddenly surprised. He didn't expect Lin Qingfeng to come for this purpose, but it has to be said that if they were in power, they would definitely gather a large number of old ministers. As long as Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing followed the rules, they would never be the opponents of them. After all, as the two major military advisors under Zhao Xin's command back then, they were not so easy to deal with. Even if Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing did not follow the rules, they were not afraid. After all, with their prestige in the army, they could instantly divide Li Rubing's military power. Even if they didn't have 50%, they could still get 30%. In this way, they would have the capital for fighting.

"This..." Empress Dowager Song hesitated a little.

"The Queen Mother can't trust us?" Now Lin Qingfeng didn't need to speak, Zuo Sheng, who was beside him, asked while the iron was hot.

Empress Dowager Song said hesitantly: "The two military advisors, the Ai family can naturally trust them. But in this way, wouldn't it be a pity for Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing? The Ai family is worried that they will not agree."

Lin Qingfeng smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry. Now that the late emperor has passed away, the Empress Dowager is the biggest in Da Zhao. As long as the Empress Dowager agrees, Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing will have their old ministers here, and they will agree."

Queen Mother Song thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, since that's the case, it's not too late. Tomorrow, the Ai family will summon all the civil and military officials to announce the affairs of the regent and the two military advisors to assist the government."

"The Empress Dowager is wise!" Zuo Sheng and Lin Qingfeng praised.

The next day, the Empress Dowager Song summoned all civil and military officials to discuss matters in Chengqian Palace. Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing walked side by side. Li Rubing asked Zhuang Ping strangely: "Zhuang Xiang, what can you do when the Empress Dowager summoned the ministers today? Is it for the new monarch's throne ceremony?"

Zhuang Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know this true nature, but I heard that Lin Qingfeng came to Jinyang and entered the palace with Zuo Sheng yesterday."

"What! Military Advisor Lin came to Jinyang? Can you tell what happened?" Li Rubing was surprised. After Zhao Xin passed away from illness, Lin Qingfeng resigned from office and retired. He had not been concerned about the world for many years. Now he suddenly came to Jinyang, and he might have some plans.

Zhuang Ping said: "Lin Qingfeng must have been invited by Zuo Sheng. As for what their purpose is, it is unknown, but there is no need to worry too much. Only the general and the general join forces, even Lin Qingfeng cannot threaten us."

Li Rubing walked into Chengqian Palace with a nervous mood and found that Empress Dowager Song had sealed the throne and was sitting under the throne. Li Rubing also found Zuo Sheng and Lin Qingfeng from the crowd entering Chengqian Palace, and the two of them were quite close to Zhang Ying, which made Li Rubing's worry even worse.

"Meet the Empress Dowager!" The ministers saluted to the Empress Dowager Song.

Queen Mother Song nodded and said, "Today, the Lords were summoned to come because the late emperor left a will, so the Ai family had no choice but to leave the harem and come to the previous dynasty."

"What! The late emperor left the will? When did it happen?" Zhuang Ping, who was in front of him, was surprised. You should know that since Zhang Xian fell ill, he had been confused and had no chance to leave any will. What medicine was sold in the Empress Dowager Song?

Empress Dowager Song said to Zuo Sheng who was standing behind: "Zuo Military Advisor, the last emperor's will is in your hands, so you can read it."

"Yes!" Zuo Sheng went out of his line, then took out an edict from his sleeve, and read it loudly: "The emperor's edict: Since the defeat of the Central Plains, my dragon body has become increasingly corrupt, and I am afraid that it will soon be in the world. After my death, the throne will be inherited by the prince Zhang Yuan, the empress dowager Song's regent, and the government affairs will be decided by the empress dowager Song, and I respect this!"

When the ministers heard this, they were surprised and wondered where Zuo Sheng's will came from. Zhuang Ping went out and asked, "Zuo Military Advisor, I wonder where your will came from? As we all know, the late emperor did not leave any words before his death. Why did Zuo Military Advisor suddenly take out a will now?"

Before Zuo Sheng could answer, the Empress Dowager Song said, "Zhuang Xiang, this will was left by the late emperor before he fell into a coma and was kept by the Left Military Commander. The Ai family has confirmed its authenticity. Could it be that Zhuang Xiang is questioning the Ai family?"

"I dare not!" Zhuang Ping lowered his head and replied, questioning Empress Dowager Song. Of course, Zhuang Ping would not do this. You must know that whether it was the Lang Meng Incident or the current throne dispute, the reason why they were able to overwhelm the ministers was that the Empress Dowager Song gave them the title of righteousness. If he questioned Empress Dowager Song, wouldn't he questioning himself?

"Since that's the case, we will follow the will of the late emperor and be regent by the Ai family. However, the Ai family is just a wife and does not know much about the affairs of the court, so they need the help of the ministers of the regent. Therefore, the Ai family decided that after the new king ascended the throne, Prime Minister Zhuang Ping, General Li Rubing, Zong Zheng Zhang Ying, and Zuo Sheng was also appointed Sikong, Lin Qingfeng as Situ, and the five were appointed as the ministers of the regent to assist the new king!" Seeing that Zhuang Ping had suppressed Zhuang Ping, the Empress Dowager Song hurriedly told the appointment of the ministers of the regent to avoid long nights and dreams.

When everyone heard this, they were silent. Although they were somewhat confused about Zuo Sheng and Lin Qingfeng as ministers, they did not doubt that Zuo Sheng and others were not qualified to be ministers. After all, in terms of prestige, even Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing were slightly inferior to them. What qualifications do they have to question? However, Zhang Ying was very dissatisfied. Zuo Sheng and Lin Qingfeng were invited to deal with Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing, but now these two men became ministers in a blink of an eye. They felt that they were being put on a verge, but because of the scene, they did not immediately attack.

Zhuang Ping and Li Rubing were very dissatisfied with this, thinking that Empress Dowager Song was guarding against them, but they could not express any opinions about Zuo Sheng and Lin Qingfeng. After all, these two people in terms of qualifications were their seniors, so the proposal was happily approved.
