Chapter 997 Taking Off the Mask ([-])
Zhao Zhun guessed right, Su Yu jumped over from You Xiaowei camp.And Zhao Zhun plowed the land by himself every night, and it was You Xiao who rode the watchtower and reported it to King Qin.At this time, King Qin just didn't want to come in with great fanfare, otherwise he could have let You Xiaoqi clear the field.

But Su Yu didn't want others to know that he had been here.

Avoiding the sight of all watchtowers, they sat among the ruins.Zhao Zhun said that he did not want to be involved in party struggles again, and his move was considered wise and safe.

But Su Yu didn't think so, Su Yu hoped to win over Zhao Zhun.If Zhao Zhun can join the Xianwang faction at this time and attack Zhao Di together, then Zhao Di will be in bad luck.

"I won't go with you." Zhao Zhun sighed in a low voice: "You guys quarrel, even if you win the quarrel, so what? Can you still quarrel to the point where the military power changes hands? Whether it's third uncle or Uncle Seventeen, they are all from our own family, as long as the military power is in the hands of our family, I have nothing to worry about..."

"What if King Kang isn't Uncle Seventeen?" Su Yu interrupted suddenly.

"What did you say?" Zhao Zhun was slightly surprised.

"Haven't you heard that some people suspect that he is just a stand-in?" Su Yu stared at Zhao Zhun.

Zhao Zhun smiled wryly: "Did you listen to what Zhao Huang said? Oh, forget it, don't believe his nonsense. Uncle Seventeen has been in seclusion for ten years, and when we meet again ten years later, how can there be no change. The reason why Zhao Huang made The rumor of Uncle Seventeen was because he owed a lot of money for drinking outside. At that time, Uncle Seventeen had just taken over a division. Zhao Huang thought that Uncle Seventeen was rich, so he went to borrow money, but Uncle Seventeen did not allocate money from the military salary. Give it to him. Everyone knows that lending money to Zhao Huang is equivalent to beating a dog with a meat bun. Not to mention Uncle Seventeen, even I would not lend him money. Then Zhao Huang held a grudge, saying that Uncle Seventeen ignored And the friendship between classmates and so on. I remember that at that time, Ying Gu went to Qi Wang's mansion to find Zhao Huang and scolded him."

"King Xian also has this suspicion." Su Yu said.

"Of course he will doubt it." Zhao Zhun said quickly.

Su Yu said very seriously: "You think that King Xian doubted King Kang because of factional disputes. But have you ever thought that it is because King Xian has doubts that why there are factional disputes? If there is no doubt, Xian Wang The king has long since stopped fighting."

Zhao Zhun stared at Su Yu: "You were cheated by third uncle."

Su Yu smiled wryly: "No, the virtuous king didn't tell me this, I guessed it. Yesterday I held a baby kiss banquet at home and invited many old princesses and concubines. I talked with them in private. They I also feel that Zhao Di has changed a lot before and after the retreat."

Zhao Zhun shook his head: "Ten years, how many decades can there be in life, how can there be no change? Can you at the age of 20 be the same as you at the age of 30? I also think he has changed a lot, but so what?" ?”

Why do you feel that Zhao Zhun's words are more out of helplessness?Su Yu snapped his fingers: "I asked those old princesses and concubines, and no one visited him during those ten years. Don't you think it's strange?"

Zhao Zhun thought for a while: "No, someone has seen him."

"Who?"

"My mother."

"Except for Concubine Feng?"

"I do not know."

"Didn't the concubine go there by herself? Where are the two old eunuchs in your house, have they seen King Kang who is in retreat?"

"You're right, you did bring the eunuch with you. But only my mother entered the room by herself, and the eunuch was screened out."

But Concubine Feng is dead.

Su Yu sighed, and stood up: "Since Brother Huang has no intention of participating, let's forget it. I will never force it. And I very much hope that one day, we can be regent side by side again."

Zhao Zhun stood up: "You really think so?"

Su Yu nodded, and said with a shameful smile: "Brother Huang is a very hardworking person, more diligent than my younger brother."

Zhao Zhun knew what Su Yu meant. The King of Qin cooperated with the Queen Mother and dumped a lot of bad things to Prince Geng's mansion. Zhao Zhun was already tired and thin this year.

Zhao Zhun gave a wry smile, and sighed again: "I said long ago that I have no future, and the military power will never fall into my hands. But my greatest wish is the last wish of my father. My father often said that this A generation of outstanding people will come out in succession, and they should show great ambitions and unify China. It is a pity that I am not capable enough, and I am embarrassed. Although the third uncle has great ambitions, the military power is not completely in his hands, and the seventeenth uncle only wants to wait for the little emperor to grow up. But when the little emperor grows up, it will be more than ten years later, these outstanding people are old, can they still fight?"

Su Yu shrugged noncommittally.

Zhao Zhun paused for a moment, then said again: "You want to find out if Zhao Di is a substitute, why bother to look far away?"

"How do you say that, brother?"

"The person who knows the most secrets in the imperial city is not the princesses, concubines, and princes, but the chief executive."

Of course Su Yu asked Lao Diaosi, but Hu Rong couldn't tell the key point, he just said to talk to some old friends.But after talking for several days, there was no reply.

……

The gate of the original Prince Geng's mansion has been installed with a new plaque, with the words "Jiuquanhou" written on it.Hearing the name of the title, one knew that this was a marquis who had just been conferred by the imperial court, and this person was Zhao Yuan, the adopted son of King Kang.

Zhao Zhun said that Zhao Yuan is a small-minded person who likes to make calculations and always plays tricks behind his back.As for his ability, I can't compliment him, but this kid is lucky.He was the leader of the assassination team sent by King Kang. During his tenure, someone killed Zhao Qiang.At the same time, an assassination operation was launched against King Qin.

Although the assassination of King Qin failed, his positive attitude was recognized by King Kang.It was precisely because Zhao Yuan was obedient.He would fight wherever Kang Wang pointed, so he was appointed by Kang Wang to replace Zhao Zhun and become the new representative of Kang Wang.In the future, he will ascend to the court and compete with the right regent Zhao Yu.

It is said that Zhao Yuan's abilities are limited, but the think tanks around him are not vegetarians.They can make up for Zhao Yuan's shortcomings.And Zhao Yuan only needs to charge for Kang Wang, serve as a shield, and abandon the car at critical moments to protect the handsome.

Zhao Zhun's words were not a secret to Su Yu, but later Zhao Zhun either intentionally or unintentionally revealed to Su Yu that Zhao Stork was dead.

How did he die, Zhao Zhun said he didn't know.

Su Yu returned home and organized officials to investigate Dali Temple Prison and confirmed that Zhao Guan was dead.Officials requested an autopsy, but Dali Temple said the prisoner's body had been burned and an autopsy was not possible.

"It's only been two days since I died. Before the family members saw the body, the Dali Temple disposed of the body. Dali Temple doesn't follow the rules, so don't blame us for making a big fuss about it. Xu Luochen, this matter will be handed over to you." Here you go."

In the early morning of the next day, King Qin was discussing important matters with his staff, during which time Xu Luochen came to the palace to listen to King Qin's teachings.Of course, the words "listen to teachings" are his own words.

After being named by the King of Qin, Xu Luochen raised his head proudly: "It's just a small essay, it's easy to come by."

Xu Luochen was a wretched person, and the Kang Wang Zhaodi he wrote was just as wretched as him.He described Zhao Guan's death as Kang Wang Zhao Di's murder, destruction of corpses and traces, and the killing of Zhao Guan's family.First write how Zhao Guan respects his adoptive father, how he goes through life and death for his adoptive father, and at the critical moment he leads the army to fight back against Prince Rui.As a result, after he made so many achievements, he was squeezed out, framed, and finally died tragically after he came to King Kang's hands. In the end, he couldn't even find his body.

As soon as this article came out, it caused a violent reaction.There was that young man with justice in his heart who ran to the gate of Dali Temple Prison and raised a flag to protest.Ask the officials of Dali Temple to take the blame and resign, and curse Feng Zhao for his sanctimonious and greedy mediocrity.

When Cao Yuzan saw that the incident was getting serious, she immediately announced that Feng Zhao, the minister of Dali Temple, was not in Luoyang and had gone to Erdaogou to investigate the "Case of Mutual Assault and Death of Classmates".The case is being widely concerned, and the common people still believe that there is grievance.Everyone appealed collectively, and the court gave the people a satisfactory answer.

Feng Zhao came back and told Cao Yuzan that there was no grievance, but that the classmates beat each other, resulting in the death of one of them.Things are simple and clear.But at this time Cao Yuzan said, no, if the common people want to listen to grievances, then there must be grievances, otherwise your reputation as an upright official will not be guaranteed.

Then, Cao Yuzan ordered that Erdaogou Academy be dismissed and sent to prison, and the magistrate of the county where Erdaogou is located was relegated to a remote county as postmaster.

The people rejoiced, holding slogans, beating gongs and drums to celebrate the victory.People say that it is everyone's unremitting efforts that have upheld justice.Facts have proved that Feng Zhao is the only master of Qingtian, long live Feng Zhao!
Because of this incident, Feng Zhao got a serious illness and recuperated at home.

"Cao Yuzan is really good at stirring up trouble, diluting the hot spot I just started..." Su Yu rubbed his forehead: "No, I want to make Zhao Guan's matter hot again. Tell Tan Qin'er to launch the navy. This I don’t believe it’s going to be popular if I put in 500 million yuan for the first time.”

His Royal Highness the King of Qin has a good reputation, but he is not as good as Han Jian and Dian Feng when he charges into battle; he is not as good as Zhu Xieke and Gongsun Xiong when he commands a large army; he is not as good as Lao Huang and Hu Rong when he fights alone;But engaging in public opinion has always been King Qin's dominant project. If the three tricks are cut down, King Kang's team can't keep up with the rhythm.

If this continues, King Kang's reputation as a gentleman will inevitably be destroyed.

At this time, I don't know who it is, and offered Kang Wang a plan: Silence is golden.

It means that if you can't do it, then don't do it, so as not to embarrass yourself.Now King Kang's reputation is still good, because for a long time, King Kang's image of a gentleman has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be destroyed by King Qin's agitation.Kang Wang only needs to make a summary and refute those things on a regular basis.When the king of Qin has more and more means, people will think that this is deliberately framed, and they will not believe the king of Qin.From now on, Kang Wang sent a collective silence, only watching Qin Wang play alone, but to see what other tricks he can come up with.

Faced with this situation, King Qin laughed loudly.

"Silence is golden" is also a saying.Since it is a "statement", there are conditions for its use.And such unconditional silence like theirs, in Su Yu's view, is just looking for a beating.
