Lin'an City changed drastically overnight. The next morning, the city began to implement comprehensive martial law. Teams of troops ran around the city, and the people of the whole city quickly received news from the military.

King Li Yanqing of Jin treason rebelled and attempted to attack Lin'an City. The palace immediately issued a series of decrees to deprive Li Yanqing of all titles and official positions, demoted him to a commoner, and issued a reward of 100,000 taels of silver to arrest Li Yanqing.

The government began to seize Baoyanzhai on a large scale. Baoyanzhai's owner Li Daqi had already escaped from Jiangxia in advance and escaped.

Soon, the second decree was spread from the ban. The emperor was temporarily suspended for five days due to serious injuries in the Li Yanqing rebellion.

In the morning, six prime ministers, Fan Zhixu, Lu Yihao, Gao Shen, Zheng Wangzhi, Fan Zongyin and Zhu Shengfei were invited to Zhizheng Hall to discuss matters by the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji.

Gao Shen got on Fan Zhixu's carriage and immediately whispered: "There was a palace coup last night!"

Fan Zhixu said without saying a word: "Everyone can basically guess this. I heard that Mr. Cao died of illness last night. Li Yanqing went to Cao's mansion to pay condolences and was almost arrested. Is that true?"

Gao Shen nodded, "The news is true. I heard from Cao Yan that Miao Fu led 15,000 people to surround the Cao Mansion, but Li Yanqing escaped from the tunnel and should have successfully escaped."

Fan Zhixu sighed softly, "Actually, I just cared about the situation of the official family. If I guessed correctly, the official family has already."

Since the other party spread the news that the emperor was seriously injured, it would leave a foreshadowing for the next step of the emperor's death. Fan Zhixu felt particularly sad. Finally, a king who could lead the Song Dynasty toward the revival disappeared so quickly.

Gao Shen was silent for a moment and said: "No matter what the situation of the official family is now, the Supreme Emperor will never dare to announce the death of the official family. At most, abdicate by taking care of his injuries as an excuse."

After a pause, Gao Shen said, "There is another important news I want to tell you."

"What news?"

"Early this morning, Li Yanqing led his army to defeat the pursuers in Huzhou, and Deputy Chief Yang Chu was killed."

"How did you know this news?"

Gao Shen smiled faintly, "Li Yanqing sent someone to tell me this morning, and he said he would not return to the northwest."

Fan Zhixu was thinking, it seemed that the drama was far from over!

The carriage they were riding in drove into the palace. Along the way, the soldiers were facing a great enemy. All the court rooms were searching, but they didn't know what they were searching for?

Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu were both quite surprised. Is the coup not over yet?

When the carriage slowly drove past a guard soldier, Gao Shen suddenly asked him in a low voice: "What happened?"

The soldiers standing guard looked at both sides and lowered their voices: "The whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Prince are unknown."

Although Zhao Gou has not officially held a ceremony to enthrone the crown prince, he issued an edict a month ago to grant Zhao Yan the crown prince. This is a sign of the establishment of the crown prince. The ministers have basically recognized Zhao Yan as the crown prince.

Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu looked at each other and were both shocked. The whereabouts of the Crown Prince were unknown, and I am afraid that the Supreme Emperor would not be able to sleep well.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Zhizheng Hall. Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu got off the carriage and walked directly into the lobby. The other four had arrived. Everyone sat at the table and remained silent. Everyone knew that a court coup had occurred. It would be better to remain silent at this time to avoid disaster from the sky.

Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu didn't say anything. They walked into the lobby and sat down. The atmosphere in the hall began to become strange.

At this time, Fan Zongyin sighed, "This result is not what I expected."

The other five people continued to remain silent, and Fan Zongyin suddenly shed tears and his voice choked, "I'm sorry to the official family!"

Lu Yihao said lightly: "Nothing says now makes sense, wait for the result!"

In the side hall of Chuigong Hall, Zhao Ji was furious and pointed at Liu Zhengyan and Zhang Wei and cursed: "No child can be seen. He is only two years old, so he must have been hidden. Have you searched me completely?"

Zhang Wei said tremblingly: "Weichen has searched from beginning to end three times, and searched every corner, but he really didn't find the child."

Liu Zhengyan added: "After investigation, there may be a clue."

"What clue?"

"Beizhi counted all the eunuchs and palace maids, and found that there was a missing little palace maid, who was the personal palace maid named Li Cai'e, who was missing. She was missing. Beizhi suspected that the child was taken away by her."

"This palace maid is gone?"

"I don't know yet, but Bei Zhi has found her address, she is from Yuecheng, Kuaiji County."

"Send someone to her house immediately to intercept me, and search me again!"

"Abide by the order!"

Zhao Ji suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "Have you searched for the back mountain?"

Zhang Wei was a little hesitant, "There are only two temples and Meihua Temple in the back mountain, but Beizhi has sent someone to search."

Zhao Ji was so smart that he immediately saw that Zhang Wei was a little quarrel. He immediately said angrily: "Go and search the back mountain immediately, and you can't let go of every grass!"

"Abide by the order!"

The two stumbled and ran away.

Zhao Ji was upset. The coup was only half successful. Li Yanqing ran away, and the whereabouts of the prince Zhao Yan were unknown. Fortunately, he was cautious and did not announce Zhao Gou's death, otherwise things would be in trouble.

"Your Majesty, everyone from Zhizhengtang has arrived. Why don't they go back first and discuss it another day?" Huang Qianshan said carefully.

"No need, just follow the second plan and go through a few months first."

The Zhizheng Hall was still silent. At this time, the guard shouted: "His Majesty the Supreme Emperor is here!"

Lu Yihao, Fan Zongyin and Zhu Shengfei quickly stood up. Zheng Wangzhi hesitated for a moment and stood up. Fan Zhixu and Gaoshen did not move at all, and seemed to hear it.

After a moment, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji walked towards the hall, and the four of them hurriedly bowed and said, "See Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor!"

Zhao Ji nodded, but saw Fan Zhixu and Gaoshen sitting there motionless. He was immediately displeased and glared at them fiercely, "What's the problem with the two husbands?"

Fan Zhixu stood up and said, "I want to know the situation of the official family. Can you please inform His Majesty of the Supreme Emperor?"

"He has issued an order this morning, and he is seriously injured and cannot participate in the court for the time being."

"Can you allow me to visit the official family to understand my feelings for the king?"

Zhao Ji still refused him rudely, "The emperor was seriously injured and could not meet guests. Let's talk about it later!"

Fan Zhixu was silent for a moment and took out a memorial from his arms, "I am old and I am afraid I will find it difficult to be competent for the important position of the prime minister. This is my resignation. Please transfer it to the emperor."

Zhao Ji did not agree or refuse, and his eyes turned to Gaoshen again, "What do you mean by Xianggong Gao?"

Gao Shen also took out a resignation statement and put it on the table and said, "Mr. Cao died of illness. I want to help deal with the funeral. I don't care about the court affairs for the time being. I think it's better not to affect the operation of the court. It's better to give virtuous people."

After saying that, Gao Shen took a deep look at Huang Qianshan behind Zhao Ji.

Gao Shen and Fan Zhixu did not discuss in advance, but submitted their resignation at the same time. The two looked at each other, and they felt a little sympathetic.

Zhao Ji's face looked very ugly. He wanted to dismiss Fan Zhixu and Gao Shen and give his position to Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan. But now is not the time. After the court stabilizes, he will find fault and dismiss the two. Unexpectedly, they resigned first, which really made Zhao Ji a little embarrassed.

However, Zhao Ji's embarrassment was only a moment. It was better for these two people to resign, so it was easier for him to make his own arrangements. He must absolutely control Zhizhengtang in the next month, so Fan Gao and his resignation were just right.

Zhao Ji immediately went downstairs and said, "Since neither of you can be competent as prime minister, I will allow you to resign!"

Fan Zhixu and Gaoshen bowed to everyone, turned around and quickly left Zhizheng Hall.

At this time, Zhao Ji turned around and said to Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan: "The Zhizheng Hall is indispensable. You two will take over temporarily. Let's talk about it when there is a suitable candidate!"

Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan were overjoyed and bowed together, "Thank you for your kindness!"

The two of them took the initiative to take the position of Fan Zhixu and Gaoshen. This was decided by Zhao Ji in advance. Huang Qianshan was the right prime minister and Wang Boyan served as the Privy Councilor. Neither of them was polite.

Especially when Huang Qianshan sat in Fan Zhixu's right prime minister, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the eyes of the left prime minister Lu Yihao. Logically, it should be that he should take over as the right prime minister. When will the villain Huang Qianshan be taken over?

But now Huang Qianshan is riding on his head, Lu Yihao has to suppress the strong dissatisfaction in his heart and try not to show his face.

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "Please sit down everyone!"

All the six prime ministers sat down, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan smiled, and they finally realized their wish to become prime minister. Especially Huang Qianshan was even more happy. He actually sat in the right prime minister's position, how could he not make him happy?

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "The official family is seriously injured and will not be unable to manage the government for a long time. However, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day. Therefore, I discussed with the official family that during the period when the official family is recuperating, I will be the Regent and will be the emperor to handle the court affairs on behalf of the emperor. Do you have any opinions?"

If Li Yanqing is caught, then Zhao Gou's death will be buried on Li Yanqing's head and he will ascend the throne as emperor openly.

But he was run away by Li Yanqing, so Zhao Ji decided to maintain Zhao Gou's existence before Li Yanqing was arrested and became the regent. After killing Li Yanqing, he announced that Zhao Gou was seriously injured and then officially ascended the throne. This is Zhao Ji's second plan.

For Zhao Ji, who was eager to ascend the throne again, this was only a few months, and he could afford to wait.
