The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 73
Chai Rong has been wary of Zhang Yongde along the way, and even Li Chongjin can't see Chai Rong.

On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin met Chai Rong a few times, which shows Chai Rong's trust in Zhao Kuangyin, and the ministers are all guessing what the emperor is doing.

"Your Majesty, should you think about it again, Zhang Yongde is the son-in-law of the late emperor, and you still don't know if this matter is true or not, let Weichen check it out."

In the military tent where they rested halfway, there were only Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin in it. Zhao Kuangyin heard that Chai Rong wanted to revoke Zhang Yongde's post of capital inspection and let him take it, so he persuaded him.

"Ahem, Kuangyin can't say anything about this matter. If they let it out, they will fall into their tricks. I will kill him by surprise and let him continue to do his inspection and dream of being the emperor."

Chai Rong is really terminally ill now, coughing a few times before he can say a few words, so scared that Zhao Kuangyin hurried to help him.

In Bianjing City, there was even an undercurrent. In fact, it was nothing, but Zhao Xu ordered Miao Xun to add fire to this matter.

At that time, Zhao Xu said to Miao Xun: "Sir, find the most reliable person, let everyone in Bianjing know about this matter, and everyone knows about it."

Miao Xun frowned: "My lord, it's a bit risky to do this. This is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the entire family. Besides, what good is it for us? It's good for Zhang Yongde!"

Miao Xun didn't have a prejudice against Zhou Chao, because he believed that Zhao Xu was the person he wanted to assist, and everything about him was centered on Zhao Xu.

"Mr. Miao, just do it. You will know the rest of the matter naturally. By the way, how is the progress of the thing in the mansion?" Judging from his tone, he is most concerned about the rest.

Miao Xun was relieved when he heard this, and he didn't insist anymore. The lord has his purpose in doing this.He heard Zhao Xu ask him about the progress of that matter again.

Since Zhao Xu didn't do anything later, he immediately asked his cronies to carry out construction in the back garden, and Zhao Xu told him that he would meet him in half a year.

I was very puzzled, but I still did it. It has been more than ten days, and it continues every day, and it is almost finished.

"Don't worry, everything is going on according to your orders, my lord, so don't worry!" Miao Xun thought about building something like an underground arsenal.

"It's hard work, sir, but sir,"

For a while, the streets and alleys of the capital were rumored to be the emperor, and it was so well-founded that people had no choice but to believe it.

At this time, Chai Rong still returned to Bianjing, and all the rumors seemed to disappear without a trace.

But Chai Rong did not let down his vigilance because of this. On the way back, he kept thinking about checking and becoming the emperor.

He was also thinking of a surefire solution. Originally, he wanted Zhao Kuangyin to restrain Zhang Yongde, but now his determination became stronger.

Chai Rong rushed back to Bianjing non-stop, and entered Kaifeng directly regardless of the civil and military officials who were greeted at the gate of the city.

As soon as he returned to Kaifeng, Chai Rong issued a series of personnel change orders with lightning speed while dragging his sick body.

Appoint Fan Zhi and Wang Pu to manage government affairs. These two people are his confidantes, and they are also very prestigious and capable.

Wei Renpu was also appointed as a privy envoy, who also served as a privy envoy, and Wu Yanzuo was also appointed a privy envoy, who was also a high-ranking official in charge of deploying troops.

Han Tongde, Marquis of Duyu, was also the Jiedu Envoy of Songzhou, and the Taiwei of the Jiajian School. This Han Tong was also the Deputy Commander of the Guard Division.

Then there is Zhang Yongde, Chai Rong's purpose of doing these things is to guard against Zhang Yongde, since there are such rumors, you will not be allowed to do all the checks in gang fights.

Naturally, Chai Rong removed Zhang Yongde from the post of inspector, but ordered him to be the inspector Taiwei.

He appointed Zhao Kuangyin, whom he trusted the most, as the inspector in front of the palace, plus the inspector Taifu, and also the Jiedu Envoy of the Zhongwu Army.After finishing this series of things, Chai Rong recovered from his illness with peace of mind.

"Father, congratulations on becoming the inspector of the capital this time and becoming the highest officer of the Dianqian Division, but father, you must be careful."

In the small courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao's father and son were talking alone.

When Zhao Kuangyin came back from the palace that day, when he knew Zhao Xu's return, he was also ecstatic, and it could be said that he wept with joy.

Zhao Xu disappeared strangely that day. Only the boat he was on was still on the river, and there were many guards with him in the water, but Zhao Xu was not found.

Later, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to send more people to search along the river but found nothing. He gradually lost confidence and thought Zhao Xu was dead.

Chai Rong also specially named Zhao Xu the Founding Marquis, giving him a very high honor, but can this be exchanged for his son?

At that stage, Zhao Kuangyin was also in a trance, and later he had a son named Zhao Dezhao, who gradually recovered.

But no matter what, he couldn't compare with his eldest son, and this became an eternal pain in his heart.

Now that he returned safely, even Zhao Kuangyin, who never shed tears, shed tears, but these were tears of happiness and tears of excitement.

"I'm also restless. His Majesty called me into his military tent on the way early in the morning. He thought I explained an incredible thing. This incident has a great relationship with His Majesty's personnel transfer today."

Zhao Kuangyin also didn't say anything, it wasn't him who said it, but he didn't dare to say it, although he also heard rumors about it from people in the capital, but he didn't dare to say it.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he shook his head helplessly and smiled. His father was really cautious, but it was this kind of caution that made him ascend to the emperor's seat.

Zhao Xu clapped his hands twice, whoosh, there were a few more people beside him, all of them were in black clothes and black faces. In addition to the night at this time, they had already merged with the night.

Zhao Kuangyin also knew in the past few days that his son had a secret power, which seemed to be in charge of the old man named Miao Xun.

Although in his own mansion, Zhao Kuangyin was unable to command them, which not only made Zhao Kuangyin smile bitterly.

I also asked Zhao Xu why he wanted to train these people. Zhao Xu's reason was simple. He had been assassinated many times, and he had to do it to protect his own safety.

"You stay twenty feet away, and no one is allowed to approach." Following Zhao Xu's order, these people quickly moved into action.

Seeing that the yard had been tightly sealed off, Zhao Xu said, "Did father say that the checks are for the son of heaven?"

There is a reason for being so careful. Even the most wise monarchs in the past dynasties would be worried about their ministers.

They would always arrange for someone they trusted the most to watch them in case they did anything wrong. Zhao Xu had read many stories about this in his previous life.

Whether it is true or not, there is always nothing wrong with being careful, especially during this sensitive period.

Zhao Kuangyin became anxious when he heard this: "Xu'er, don't talk nonsense, those are all rumors, don't talk nonsense, have you heard that?"

"Father, there are no outsiders here. Not only do I know that this matter is true, but I also know that it is a three-foot-long wooden board with these words written on it, right?"

Zhao Xu looked at his father who was about to become the emperor with a half-smile. He would become the emperor in less than half a year, which Zhao Kuangyin could not have imagined.

"How do you know? Could this be you?" Old Zhao thought it was arranged by his son, the instigator.

"Haha, Dad, where are you going? How could I do such a thing? Don't worry about how I know, just say it, right?"

Zhao Xu kept muttering in his heart, his father can really think about it, what good does it do for me.

Although Zhao Kuangyin was puzzled as to how his son knew about it, he still nodded and said yes. That day Chai Rong showed him such a wooden board.

"So Dad, this matter must have been done intentionally by someone with a heart, otherwise who would have trouble with Zhang Consort? This is a major event to destroy the nine clans."

So this must be due to the great enmity I have with the concubine, and I have no enmity with the concubine, why did I do this, besides, I don’t have the ability to put this thing in the emperor’s memorial and bring it to the army together right!
Zhao Xu said these words from the perspective of human nature, so Zhao Kuangyin couldn't stop nodding.

"Father, since you have become the inspector of the capital, don't think too much, and do your best to serve the emperor. I don't have a new position yet. I wonder if His Majesty will arrange a new position for me?"

Since Zhao Xu came back, he really didn't have a new job, and he never went to '"work!" He felt that even if Chai Rong used him this time, he would not give him real power.

After all, Zhao Kuangyin was already inspected by everyone and had a high position and weight. For Zhao Xu, Chai Rong would definitely not give him real power.

"Xu'er, don't worry, I will go see the emperor tomorrow, the emperor doesn't know that you have returned safely, I think the emperor will definitely use you."

Seeing Zhao Xu's lonely face, Zhao Kuangyin quickly comforted him, but he really didn't know what his son was thinking.

Zhao Xu was really thinking about something right now. He was thinking about how to imbue his father with some righteousness, so that he could better ascend the throne for his father.

So he said solemnly: "Father, I don't care about these things. What I care about is when the world will be peaceful."

As he spoke, he took up the position, leaned his hands on his back, paced and said:
"In 907 AD, it was the fourth year of Tang Ai Emperor Zhaoxuan Guanglie Xiao Emperor Tianyou. The Tang Empire, which had existed for more than 200 years, collapsed. Later Liang and Later Tang appeared one after another. Later Han, and our Great Zhou Dynasty countries in the Central Plains.

In addition, there are Wu, Southern Tang, Wuyue, Chu, Former Shu, Later Shu, Southern Han, Nanping (Jingnan), Min, Northern and Northern Han, which is a small country. "

Every year there are constant wars, the people are in dire straits, and the people suffer unspeakably. The people don't deserve such pain. They should live and work in peace and contentment.

But no, all this is caused by this era. "
