Donghua Gate Loft.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was livid, and he looked at Liu Guangyi, who was lying in front of him without any breathing, with slightly red eyes.

As soon as he entered the palace, he immediately learned that a group of thieves had kidnapped Queen Fu and Guo Zongxun.

Zhao Kuangyin's restless heart suddenly became cold, and he rushed to the scene angrily, only to see that the seventh child, Liu Guangyi, had been dead for a long time.

Zhang Dejun stood aside in embarrassment, cowering and at a loss.

He and Wang Zhengzhong returned to the imperial city first.

Wang Zhengzhong rushed to various gates of the palace and arranged for soldiers to blockade the imperial city.

Zhang Dejun went all the way to Wende Hall, hoping to return to Queen Fu and control her if necessary.

When they arrived at the Wende Hall, they learned that Queen Fu had left. Zhang Dejun instantly realized that something was wrong.

When he first heard that Guo Rong was going to kill Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Dejun was extremely panicked.

He and Zhao Kuangyin had already boarded a boat, and if they wanted to capsize, everyone would have to capsize.

Something went wrong in the chaos, and I went straight to Wang Zhengzhong in a panic. Now that I thought about it carefully, I realized that I was so afraid of Guo Rong that I didn't even try to hide it at all.

With a glimmer of hope, he went to the back hall to find Queen Fu, and learned that Queen Fu took several princes to the Zichen Hall to put Kongming lanterns to pray for Guo Rong.

At this moment, Zhang Dejun knew something was wrong.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Here Guo Rong just asked Queen Fu to kill Zhao Kuangyin, but then Queen Fu turned around and went to pray for Guo Rong?

There is obviously a problem.

Zhang Dejun hurriedly came to Zichen Hall, and what he saw was already a mess.

Wang Zhengzhong arrived one step ahead of him and had already led his troops out of the city to find the whereabouts of the abducted Empress Fu and Guo Zongxun.

Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi also came later.

Listen to the whole story.

Fan Zhi's face turned pale and he whispered: "It must be Fu Yanqing. Apart from him, no one can do this, and a saint will not just follow others casually... It's over, it's over!"

Queen Fu and Guo Zongxun are the trump cards in their hands. Without them, the game will not be successful.

Guo Rong's prestige was too high. Even if he was alive, even if he only had one breath, Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi would not dare to control him.

To control Queen Fu, Guo Zongxun is the only choice.

Guo Rong let him fall into a coma normally. He never woke up and had no other thoughts.

Then he threatened and controlled Queen Fu with the lives of Guo Rong and Guo Zongxun.

As long as they remove Luo Youdu, the only threat that can pose a threat, they can turn defeat into victory.

The loser has no power to influence public opinion.

But now the most critical killer move is gone, and all their plans fall through at this moment.

Fan Zhi was trembling, his eyes were confused, and he felt that tomorrow was his death anniversary.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said: "Quick, don't worry about whether to arouse the enemy or not. We can't sit back and wait for death. First send people to Luo Zhai and Han Zhai to control Luo Youdu's family, control Han Tong, and his family."

stand up."

At this moment of life and death, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care so much and immediately arranged for his confidants to go to Luo Zhai and Han Zhai.

After waiting for less than half an hour, Luo Yanxuan, who went to Hanzhai, reported back empty-handed: "The Hanzhai has been empty."

Fan Zhi was dumbfounded and said: "How could this happen?"

Even Han Tong was on guard against this, let alone Luo Youdu's Luo residence?

Luo Yanxuan showed a little panic on his face at this time and said: "I passed by Tianshui Lane on the way. I didn't see many patrol soldiers from the Guards and Military Division on the street, which is a bit abnormal."

There is no curfew in Dazhou now.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, the curfew system has existed in name only.

Because it was too chaotic, the court's curfew policy could not be implemented smoothly at all, so it was simply open to the public.

It is precisely because of this that the prototype of the night market was formed during this period.

Small shops selling fried food, snacks, and gadgets are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain...

The Great Zhou Dynasty was governed by two generations of Guo Wei and Guo Rong, and the politics became very stable. In order to maintain public order, a curfew was imposed for a period of time.

It turns out that public security has indeed improved, but tax revenue has dropped a lot.

It's a bit of a loss.

After study and discussion, the court compromised on the tax and canceled the curfew again.

Tianshui Lane is a well-known red light district, crowded and noisy, and is a key area patrolled by the Guards and Military Division.

Now that the patrols in Tianshui Lane are gone, it shows that someone is secretly gathering troops.

Besides Han Tong, who has this ability?

Zhao Kuangyin's chest was heaving up and down. He looked at his hands and felt like a chess piece. Wherever he went, others were able to take the first step. No matter which way he went, he was manipulated by others.

This feeling made him very manic and crazy.

Han Tong was already preparing to counterattack. Once Luo Youdu reacted and joined forces with Han Tong, the only thing waiting for him would be death.

He slapped his face with both hands, and a trace of madness flashed in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, and he said: "Lao Liu, continue to blockade the imperial city. No one is allowed to enter or exit. If someone attacks, try your best to defend... Yanxuan, follow me."

Fan asked: "Where is the palace commander going?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Go kill Luo Youdu!"

Five simple words, full of domineering and determination.

Fuck the machinations!

Damn your foresight!

The fist is as big as the sky and the earth.

In this world, the winner is the king.

Fan Zhi said anxiously: "Didn't we plan to trap him and kill him?"

Zhao Kuangyin mocked: "Do you think you can succeed?"

Fan Zhi was stunned for a moment.

They discussed and discussed, everything was agreed upon, and the plan seemed to be flawless.

The result was a wake-up call. The two most critical people, Queen Fu and Guo Zongxun, were kidnapped alive in the palace.

I can't play at all.

All calculations become a joke.

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Your brain is similar to mine. It is a pig's brain. It is controlled everywhere and is played like a monkey. If you can't play with others, don't be embarrassed. I don't want to play anymore. Luo Youdu colluded with Han Tong and planned a mutiny.

Rebellion, internal cooperation and external cooperation, intends to overthrow the great Zhou Dynasty. Now I am going to gather troops to kill the rebels."

He said and strode away.

Fan Zhi stared blankly at Zhao Kuangyin's figure, with a sudden flash of brilliance in his eyes.

The current situation is like a chess game, played openly and covertly.

They are the most disadvantaged party and have almost no way to survive.

Zhao Kuangyin's move directly overturned the chess game and muddied all the waters.

What follows will inevitably be a chaotic battle, and the one who survives will be the final winner.

Maybe you can win!

Fan Zhi respectfully bowed to Zhao Kuangyin and said: "Fan Zhi congratulates the palace commander on his triumphant return!"

**********

South Bank of the Yellow River!

West of Huazhou City.

Zhou Jun military camp.

Luo Youdu did not rest, but was looking at a pile of information on the table, thinking about tomorrow's showdown with Fan Zhi.

It is not difficult to win over Fan Zhi, but what is really difficult is how to involve Zhao Kuangyin.

How could Zhao Kuangyin be deposed?

Fighting Fan Zhi is not the goal, Zhao Kuangyin is the real opponent.

Luo Youdu originally admired Fan Zhi. He had been prime minister in the Zhou Dynasty for many years and had done many great things.

Guo Rong, a militant, was able to conquer Western Shu, fight against the Southern Tang, and defeat the Khitan in a short period of time, and Fan Zhi was indispensable.
