Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 544 It's Him

Before returning to the palace, the emperor ordered Zhao Hao to follow him into the palace, and the rest of the people did what they were supposed to do.

Xie Jue went directly back to his own mansion, Jun Jiuyi hesitated for a moment, and went into the palace anyway, but went back to his bedroom first.

The emperor took Zhao Hao all the way back to his small study, and after seeing the surprised look on Zhao Hao's face, he said, "It's easier to talk here."

These days, he finally understood that only what he said in his small study could be kept secret, while in the imperial study outside, no matter who he spoke privately with, it would be known in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Hao nodded, and when he took off the helmet, he also took off the white belt on his head.

This is the emperor's bedroom, and it is not appropriate to show filial piety here.

"Go, stay outside." The emperor said to Eunuch He, and then said to Eunuch Ding: "Serve tea."

Eunuch He backed out with a wink, and retreated all the people outside to the outer courtyard, and guarded the door by himself. After Eunuch Ding made tea for the emperor and Zhao Hao, he backed away silently and stood by the window .

When Zhao Hao saw this posture, he secretly praised him, and then took out a few letters from his pocket.

There are the two letters that Ling Chuanye brought over, the Tongguanjun newspaper that his men hijacked on the road, the letters that he occasionally got when he led the army to attack the supply troops, and the letter that he never wanted to escape after he regained the border town. Letters recovered from the counselor.

The emperor looked at one of the letters, and his face darkened. In the end, with tears in his eyes, he cried out in mourning, "It was I who harmed Lord Zhen!"

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. You don't blame your Majesty for this matter. It's those treacherous ministers who are too hateful!" Zhao Hao knelt down on the ground, knocking his head on the ground and said.

The emperor wiped his eyes, put those letters away carefully, then helped Zhao Hao up again and said, "If it wasn't for my incompetence, how could I let these traitors succeed!"

Zhao Hao slandered in his heart, you know, but the expression on his face was moved: "Your Majesty, don't say that, my minister..."

The voice paused, and Zhao Hao said: "I also collected some evidence this time. I heard that the emperor was assassinated a while ago, and the main messenger was Cai Bing?"

"Yes." The emperor said bitterly, "The person who colluded with the Beirong people is probably also a member of the Cai party."

Zhao Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it's either a member of the Cai party or Cai Bing."

The emperor was surprised: "Cai Bing?"

Although he knew that Cai Bing had great ambitions and wanted a puppet emperor, the emperor did not expect that Cai Bing would collude with the Beirong people.

After all, Cai Bing is already the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he is so powerful that even he, the emperor, has to look at his face. What good does it do for him to collude with the Beirong people?
"I can't figure out why Cai Bingzhi would do such a thing, but I know that he dared to assassinate the emperor, so I understand." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "Being the king of Anjun is incomparable. Be emperor yourself."

The emperor said ah, like enlightenment, he understood.

Yes, Cai Bing wants to be the emperor!
To be a powerful minister, one only needs to hold the emperor in his hands, but after all, this world is still the Song Dynasty, and if one day the monarch's family has a Ming emperor succeeding to the throne, this powerful minister will be able to do it.

But the emperor is different. The emperor can last forever, but to be an emperor means changing the dynasty. Then, the first one who disagrees is naturally the Zhao family's 40 frontier troops.

Cai Bing wants to destroy the Zhao family army first, and let Da Song make his emperor Jun's family lose the most powerful shield!

The evil in his heart...

Seeing that the emperor had figured it out, Zhao Hao continued in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, with Cai Bing alone, he can't accomplish anything. What his fellow party members have done is even more disastrous to the country and the people. I hope that the Emperor can dig them up this time. Otherwise, the roots of the big tree are dead, even if one of its trunks is cut off, the rest will also cause the big tree to fall."

The emperor's expression changed, and he said: "Zhao Qing's words are..."

Zhao Hao sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, when I left last year, I said that even if I took away the grain from Beicang, it would only last until spring, but this spring, the imperial court did not send a grain of grain. It wasn't until May that some food arrived in the border town one after another, your majesty, do you know how many people in the border town had starved to death at that time?"

The emperor said with a face full of shame: "Yes, I am incompetent."

"Your majesty." Zhao Hao looked at the emperor and shook his head and said, "It's not that the emperor is incompetent, but that the courtiers are incompetent. It's because the courtiers below have a different heart! Majesty, forgive me, you don't understand, so I don't know much about the incompetence of the Spring Festival." What is the scene of Guancheng without food, but those officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households don’t know? What should be the amount of food and salaries transported to Guancheng in previous years, and what is the amount now? Without food, people will starve to death , there will be a mutiny when there is no food and wages, don’t those old officials who have accumulated many years know? If they don’t know, then the emperor, what do you want them to do? Such people who only know how to eat the king’s salary but don’t know how to relieve the king’s worries, what are they going to do? use?"

Zhao Hao's voice was very low, but it was full of anger, and the tone was not fast, each word was whispered, but it hit the emperor's heart like a heavy hammer.

Seeing the change in the emperor's face, Zhao Hao felt a little uneasy.

What the hell, Xie Jue asked him to speak frankly and harshly, saying that no matter what the emperor would listen to, it was not reliable!
The emperor in his previous life was always confused until the end, when the Beirong iron cavalry approached the capital, he still reused Cai Bingtong, and was finally forced to abdicate and died under the rebellion.

And judging from the experience of dealing with this person in this life, I can only say that this person is a good person...

But no matter how good a good person is, he is still an emperor after all. If you say this, no emperor would not mind, right?
Hey, who cares, so what if you mind?

Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can't be as bad as the emperor in his previous life who continued to be so confused, and finally the country was ruined and his family was destroyed.

The emperor brought the tea bowl on the table and put it down again. After going back and forth a few times, he sighed deeply: "It's my fault, I always think, I don't know those things, so let those who know those things People make decisions, but who would have thought that such a group of wolf-hearted people would be raised, I almost became a big sinner who has no face to face his ancestors!"

If it wasn't for Zhao Hao's bravery to turn the tide of the battle, if Cai Bing had succeeded, the Beirong people would have broken through and entered, and the Great Song Dynasty had also changed its name and surname!
Looking at the emperor's appearance, Zhao Hao asked: "So, what is the emperor going to do?"

The emperor was stunned: "This..."

Zhao Hao sighed again in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, this case involves too much. If it is handed over to the Military Department of the Privy Council or even the Cabinet for investigation, I dare to tell you that it will definitely not be settled in the end."

The emperor's heart moved, thinking about the quarrels in the court for the past few days, thinking about the conclusive evidence found by the punishment palace but still being repeatedly pushed by the cabinet and those courtiers, his brows furrowed deeply.

That's right, Cai Bing has so many cronies, and if the case is going to become a big one, it will be unimaginably involved, and those people will fight desperately to resist.

One is not good, let alone using this to clean up the court, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Zhao Hao.

"Zhao Qing, what advice do you have?" The emperor asked with a sigh after thinking for a while.

Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Your Majesty, if this matter is to be investigated, there must be someone who stands with you and is above the cabinet to lead the matter. Under this person, let the ministers and The main force of the Imperial Guard is investigating and punishing, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is cooperating with the Ministry of Justice, so that they will not be led away by the nose."

To stand together is to have common interests. Zhao Hao is talking about members of the royal family. After all, Cai Bing wants to rebel against Jun's family!And the status should be above the cabinet.

The prime minister of the cabinet is a first-rank, and the prince above the cabinet is naturally a super first-rank prince!

The emperor slapped his thigh and said: "I know, it's just right! A virtuous king is suitable!"

Zhao Hao's brows twitched unconsciously, Emperor, are you playing cards according to the routine?

This person should not be your son Kang Wang!

Why did you suddenly appear as a virtuous king? !

Could it be that you know that if you do this, you will definitely offend people everywhere, and maybe even the civil and military officials in the court will have objections to him, so you are reluctant to let your own son do it?

No, the emperor is not so smart, is he?

The emperor glanced at Zhao Hao's face, uh, remember, Xie Jue said a few more words outside first, but Zhao Hao was very dissatisfied, so he glared at Xie Jue angrily.

Could it be that he was worried that Xie Jue would not deal with it fairly?

With a light cough, the emperor softened his face and said: "Zhao Qing, don't worry, although the virtuous king looks like that, ah, he is actually very good, and he is very capable! You know, it was last year During the flood, he single-handedly helped Quanzhou and Fuzhou survive the flood, and the fleet he led traveled far away, and he was determined..."

Looking at himself, the more he said Zhao Hao's expression became more and more wrong, and the emperor felt embarrassed to say any more.

Well, this may be a bit exaggerated, and he doesn't know what happened to Xie Jue when he went to sea.

But there is one thing the emperor knows.

Clearing his throat, the emperor said: "The virtuous king is the son of the former crown prince. My brother, the prince, was framed by Cai Bing back then. As a result, hey, the virtuous king and Cai Bing had revenge for killing their father! We will definitely not protect Cai Bing , and, do you know about the fake silver case this time?"

Zhao Hao pondered for a while, and said, "Rong Yu sent someone to pass the letter to the minister, but I don't know the details."

The emperor chuckled lightly and said, "That case was actually found out by King Xian himself, but he borrowed the hands of Rong Shizi."

Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and let out a sigh.

The emperor smiled and said: "I know, I know, only Zhao Qing, as for my nephew, my prince brother taught him how to pee, even the first emperor, and he was also trained by him as the crown prince. He was only ten years old at that time. At the age of [-], his decisiveness and judgment are far above mine, not to mention, after so many years of tempering, this time, I will entrust the full power to you two, you just let go and do it."

In the past, he was always worried, afraid that the government would be messed up because of his ignorance, and that the world would be affected by his reckless actions. On a deeper level, it was because of his own laziness that he let the court go, so that until now, Even with the overwhelming evidence of Cai Bingzhi's crime, some people still want to overturn the case.

And he really didn't know what to do.

But he doesn't know how to treat the courtiers, but he knows who to use now.

Anyway, Xie Jue is from the Jun family, the royal family, and Zhao Hao just came back from the field of life and death, and saved the border of the Song Kingdom.

Believe them, they are always right!
Zhao Hao looked at the emperor dumbly, and nodded when the emperor said again that I believe in you.

Well, the mind of a member of the royal family is indeed beyond his straightforwardness to guess!
