Chapter 1003 Taking Off the Mask ([-])

"Do you know how nasty the mob is?"

In the middle of the night, Zhao Zhun was still working in the study. At this time, Zhao Min stunned the guards, walked into the study, sat in front of Zhao Zhun, and asked such a sentence.

Zhao Zhun stared at Zhao Min without saying a word.

In a sense, mobs are no less hateful than military disasters.When people lose the shackles of the law and do bad things without being punished, people are very scary.

Instigated by King Qin, people showed the most despicable side of human nature.Kang Wang's mansion was burned to ruins, and mobs ran around, beating, smashing, looting and burning wantonly.Some maidservants were even dragged into the room and abused by a group of wretched men.

In the panic, it was Zhao Min who protected Concubine Liang from the palace, otherwise Concubine Liang would not be able to break out.She, who still has her charm, falls into the hands of the mob, and her fate will be worse than that of a maidservant.

After escaping from the palace, Concubine Liang didn't even dare to go back to her mother's house, so Zhao Min hid her in a small private house in Beishi.

Zhao Min said to Concubine Liang: Don't be afraid, because I am here.

Zhao Min was usually a little stunned, but when he said such a sentence suddenly, Concubine Liang showed distrust in her eyes, as if she was asking: Why?
Zhao Min could see what she was thinking, but Zhao Min didn't say anything.

In fact, Zhao Min is the spy who King Qin deceived everyone and arranged beside King Kang.

I still remember that the first time Su Yu and Zhao Min met was in Wanhualou.At that time, Zhao Min went to the Prince Yu's Mansion to dig treasures. After digging for several days, he didn't find a single coin, and instead spent all his money.So he took his sister-in-law Zhao Ying to ask Suzaku to borrow money.It turned out that Su Yu lent him 50 yuan, and after he found the money, he went to Jingtong to ask Su Yu to pay back the money.

And the Jingtong is the lair for training spies.

It's like the addictive poison pill that Cao Yuzan deliberately made, but in the end she didn't wait for the day when Kang Wang went crazy, and everything was over.

In fact, Su Yu's chess move is not like this.

Zhao Min, who is good at martial arts, lurks beside King Kang. He has the ability to kill with one blow, but King Kang doesn't trust Zhao Min enough.After hanging around for a while, Zhao Min became farther and farther away from King Kang, and the chances of seeing King Kang became less and less.And Kang Wang was always with Zhang Kang, so Zhao Min never had a chance to do anything.

But Zhao Min is a person who refuses to admit defeat. He kills Zhao Qiang, thinking that by doing so, he will gain Kang Wang's favor and absolute trust, and then goes to Kang Wang's side.

He once said to Zhao Fan: A scholar dies for his confidant.

So his purpose of killing Zhao Qiang was not pure, he was still clearing the obstacles for Su Yu to ascend the throne.He thought that since Zhao Qiang was still alive, it would not be Su Yu's turn to be emperor.

Although he acted recklessly as a stunned young man, objectively, he did promote the development of the matter.It prompted the two factions of the virtuous king and the king of Kang to completely tear their skins apart.

After a great battle, King Qin drew up a list and asked Jingzhao Mansion to post it in the streets and alleys.The people on the list are all those whom King Qin wants to pardon, and let them go to King Geng's mansion to find Zhao Zhun.

Concubine Liang's name was impressively listed, but Princess Liang did not dare to meet Zhao Zhun, for fear that it was a trap, but Zhao Min sneaked into Prince Geng's mansion and sat in front of Zhao Zhun.

The reason why I came secretly was because Zhao Min was not on the list.

Because Zhao Min's crime is too great to be forgiven.

After he killed Zhao Qiang, it was absolutely impossible for Su Yu to admit that he was a spy again. If King Xian knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous.At that time, Su Yu was really speechless.

Although Zhao Min was stunned, he was not stupid, he knew that Su Yu would not see him now.After meeting Zhao Zhun today, he will leave Luoyang.Because he wants to tell Zhao Zhun the location of Princess Liang, and at the same time get a night ban card from Zhao Zhun.

After getting the waist card, Zhao Min tied up Zhao Zhun, gagged his mouth, successfully left Luoyang, and met Zhao Fan and Zhao Ying who were waiting for him at the ferry.

Zhao Ying said: "The money given by King Qin has been received."

Zhao Min smiled, boarded the boat, and said while shaking his oar: "Zhao Yu had planned it long ago. When Zhao Qiang was assassinated, he thought that the virtuous king would definitely fight, but when he went to the virtuous king's mansion, he heard the virtuous king changed his words and said that he would not fight." During the conversation, he encouraged the virtuous king, but the virtuous king said he was worried about the spread of the war, and the situation was out of control. Zhao Yu once told me that the virtuous king had many opportunities to fight, but he missed them all. It can be said that the virtuous king wanted to seek It can also be said that this is the weakness of the Xianwang character. The Xianwang is easy to hesitate."

Just like the title of the virtuous king, he is a gentle person. If he was not born in a royal family that must fight for life and death, then the virtuous king must be an old patriarch with strong family values, admirable, kind-faced, and kind-hearted.

……

After several days of back-and-forth negotiations, it was finally decided to retain the Daxing Emperor and Cao Yuzan as the Empress Dowager.However, all military power of Cao Yuzan was removed, and the list of secret agents was handed over.During this period, Li Wantang fled and disappeared.

Transfer Cao Sheng and Zhao Yafu to Yunzhou to replace Gongsunxiong to guard the frontier.

Gongsunxiong and Zhao Yafu switched positions. Gongsunxiong became the general of Jinwu, and Zhao Yafu became the general of Yunzhou.Cao Sheng and Zhao Yafu led the second division to set off immediately, and Gongsun Xiong returned to the court at the same time.

Kang Wang Zhaodi actively cooperated with the whole army to rectify and reform, and all the main members of Kang Wang's faction were dismissed and replaced by members of the Xianwang faction.At this time, Meng Qi and Ximen Zaipei also said that they should not hand over all the military power to Zhao Yu, otherwise it would be equivalent to Zhao Yu becoming the emperor.

Under the intervention of the clan, the Xuanjia Army was divided into three divisions. Qin Wang Zhao Yu, General Zhang Yunlong, and Wang Sun Zhao Feng were each divided into six divisions.There are two remaining divisions, one is the second division taken away by Cao Sheng, and the other is Jinwuwei (third division).

Gongsun Xiong is the general of Jinwu in name, but the actual controllers of Jinwu Guard are Qin Wang Zhao Yu and Wang Sun Zhao Feng.And Gongsunxiong's fifth division still stayed in Yunzhou to monitor Cao Sheng's second division.

The reason why Emperor Daxing was able to be preserved, there is another factor that has to be mentioned, Kang Wang Zhao Di was poisoned to death.

He died with his loyal slave Zhang Kang.

Whether Zhao Di committed suicide or homicide has become an unsolved case.

No one admitted to killing Zhao Di, but Zhao Di was locked in the hut at that time, where did he get the poison?

Some people speculate that after Kang Wang was arrested, he never changed his clothes, and his poison was hidden in his clothes.

Others speculated that Zhao Di was poisoned to death by Cao Yuzan.Because Zhao Di died, the chances of Daxing Emperor and her surviving will be even greater.And the final result of the negotiations is indeed the case.But Cao Yuzan vehemently denied the matter, saying that he was innocent and never poisoned King Kang.

Others said that Zhao Yu, king of Qin, poisoned King Kang to death, because King Kang assassinated Zhao Yu many times, and the hatred between them was as deep as sea.

Of course, some people said it was Zhang Yunlong, because Zhang Yunlong wanted to avenge those brothers who were poisoned to death, with an eye for an eye.

Others said it was King Xian, or Zhao Feng, because they wanted to avenge Zhao Qiang.

Anyway, this group of people has a motive for killing, but no one admits it.But Kang Wang's death was nothing like this.No yamen will take care of this matter.

Sigh, Kang Wang, who used to be so glorious, died in such a muddle-headed way.

In addition to Kang Wang's death, there was another secondary factor that affected the negotiations.The Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom sent a letter of credence requesting the rebels to release the Empress Dowager Cao and Emperor Daxing.Otherwise, the Liao Kingdom will regard the Liang Dynasty as a "state of injustice", will no longer recognize the "Alliance of Yuguan", and send troops to avenge the Empress Dowager Cao.

Will the Liao Kingdom send troops?
Su Yu felt that Empress Dowager Xiao was bluffing. At this time, the situation in the Liao Kingdom was similar to that of the Liang Dynasty. After Liao Emperor Yelu Chongguang was nailed to death with an arrow, the little widow surnamed Xiao supported the young emperor to take power, and then relied on her two elder brothers to control the military power , against several princes of the Yelu family.She has a lot of troubles all day long, how can she have the heart to send troops to Liang Chao?

But Cao Yuzan held the book of credence tightly in his hand, waving it to talk to the virtuous king.Seeing the hysterical look of the little widow, I suddenly felt that she was quite pitiful.Su Yu once thought, if he really killed Cao Yuzan, would he feel sad?
Come to think of it, Su Yu is not that cold-blooded.

Moreover, the relationship between Cao Yuzan and the Empress Dowager Xiao is really good, and they often exchange letters.Cao Yuzan also thought about choosing a prince's daughter, making her a princess, and marrying the young emperor of the Liao Kingdom.

However, this matter was rejected by a group of courtiers, who felt that marrying the princess would be detrimental to the dignity of the country.

Later, Cao Yuzan said, let Liao also marry a princess, so that the two countries will be evened out.But the ministers also said that it would be shameful for our great country to be equal with Fanbang, unless he married two princesses from Liao Kingdom.As a result, this matter was messed up by a group of people, including Su Yu.

Because Cao Yuzan had no good intentions, she wanted to marry Zhao Tangsu to Emperor Liao You.

Emperor Yelu Chongguang of the Liao Dynasty was shot to death by King Qin's army. At this time, marry the daughter of King Qin?

If Cao Yuhan had said that the one who married was Zhao Zhun's daughter, then Su Yu might not have objected.

Because Su Yu believes that the marriage between the two countries also has a positive effect.Moreover, they are sending princesses to each other for intermarriage, so they can live on face-saving.

Now the little widow surnamed Cao has no spells at all, and the military power that she has worked so hard to get for many years has been completely taken away by the King of Qin.The huge secret service organization created with great care and fear was also dismantled by King Qin.

The little widow sat in the carriage returning to the palace, her face was ice-cold, she looked at the howling little emperor, and pushed her away.It was as if the child had not been born to her.

She returned to the Changqiu Palace, beat and beat, looked at the mountain of memorials, and ignored them.

……

The virtuous king Zhao Xuan has not been in court for more than 20 years, and today he went to court and announced a series of major events.

The most important of them are Min Yue, Cao Sheng, and Zhao Yafu. They cannot return to the court without the imperial edict, otherwise they will be punished as treason.The left and right commanders of the Habayashi guards were dismissed, and all the Habayashi guards were replaced.The new left and right commanders will be Zhao Yu, King of Qin, and Zhao Feng, King of Wan'an County. The two kings will each send their right-hand assistants to garrison the Imperial City.

After a big battle between the two factions, the overall situation needs to be stabilized, and there is still a lot of work to be done, but the old man will no longer intervene, and the king of Qin will take full power to handle it.He just gave Wang Sun Zhao Feng the title of "Wan'an County King". Originally, this was Zhao Qiang's wish, but now it fell on Zhao Feng.

Of course, the imperial edict still needs to be spoken out by the Empress Dowager Cao. Although the little widow was very reluctant, she still said it.

Cao Yuzan's military power is gone, and there is not much civil and political power left. Now she is more like a spokesperson.

Qin Wang Zhao Yu is the only regent, and he controls three provinces and six ministries with one person.

At this time, only three powerful families were left who could wrestle with the King of Qin in the court.Among them, the family members of the Tang clan are close relatives of King Qin.

The old man of the virtuous king never showed up again after going to court once. It is said that the old man intends to go hunting.Su Yu felt that the old man's wish must be fulfilled, and he had already sent people to inspect various royal hunting grounds. When all the security measures were in place, he would let the old man go there to have fun.

The virtuous king said that Tang Zhen is still in the west to caress the people, and when Tang Zhen returns to the court, he will discuss the major issues of unification.

However, whether to unify the warlords first or unify the Three Kingdoms first is another problem.

Xian Wang committed his old problem again and fell into hesitation.He believes that if the Zhao family wants to eliminate the Sanmen Clan by themselves, it is wishful thinking.The best way is to unite two of them and eliminate the third.But the current situation seems to be very difficult to do.It would be too risky to unite with the Tang family and start a war with the Meng family and the Ximen family.The worse result is that if the four families go to war, foreign enemies will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
