The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 226

"Thirteenth brother, you step back!"

Song Huizong Zhao Ji walked forward slowly, he knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would be heart trouble for both of them, although he didn't know it, but he also guessed a thing or two from Zhao Yougong's mouth.In Zhao Yougong's view, all the culprits are himself, even Zhao Si's death is blamed on him.

If it really counts, it is indeed related to him. It is indeed his idea that Zhao Si faked his death and hid himself in the dark. This is not wrong, so that the father and son have not seen each other for more than ten years.Although Zhao Ji knew that Zhao Si had seen it secretly, he didn't dare to get too close, but he was worried that his identity would be exposed and cause more trouble, so he kept holding back.

As for the other matter, Zhao Ji didn't want to explain at first, because Zhao Si had been with him for decades, and they were brothers, so how could they not know each other's heart!He guessed that it must be a good thing done by the remnants of the Mingjiao, everything was just a bureau, and the development of things later was beyond Zhao Yougong's imagination.

Zhao Si caught a glimpse of Zhao Ji coming over, he hesitated to speak, Zhao Ji nodded, and then he retreated in peace.What kind of person Zhao Ji is, Zhao seems to know better than anyone else, let alone the relationship between the two, even a courtier Zhao Ji would not do ungrateful things, some things are beyond his control.

"You Gong, I can tell you that I have never sent anyone to assassinate you!" Zhao Ji said confidently, "Whether you believe it or not, it's just someone else's plan. Your father's fake death was indeed my idea. I don’t deny it, it’s just that the assassination and grave digging you mentioned are indeed things that were created out of nothing.”

"The only things I can tell you are these. If I really want to deal with it quickly, I don't need to wait for my thirteenth brother to die before I can do it. I can also do it while I am alive. As for what I have done since I became the throne, I don't need to do it." Tell you to know, some things are better if you don't know!"

"Whether you believe it or not, I will never admit what I have not done, and I will never deny it if I have done it. Even if the thirteenth brother is dead, you are still my nephew. You are the one I watched growing up , don’t I know your skills?”

"What's more, the thirteenth brother didn't die at all. How could I send the inner guards to assassinate you? At the beginning, you made a big mistake, and as a last resort, your father and king came forward to plead guilty to Zhou Tong. Which is right and which is wrong? , everything is in the past and there is no need to pursue it, but the concern you and your father have for you has never changed."

"If it hadn't been for the great impact of that incident, I would have decided to dismiss you from office and let you contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors in the mansion without leaving home. I hope you can hide your strength and bide your time and serve the Song Dynasty in the future. I have always valued you very much. I originally planned for you When you enter the court as an official, your previous powers will be returned to you, and you have even told your father that when you grow up, you will inherit your father's previous official position."

"It's a pity that you did too much this time. You know that the palace coup has far-reaching effects. Even I can't completely suppress it. I have given you many opportunities, but I have been unwilling to take action. I just hope that you can wake up and turn around. , what you have done has disappointed me to the extreme!"

Zhao Yougong stared blankly at Zhao Ji, seeing that he didn't waver in the slightest and looked calm and composed, he believed half or seven in his heart.After Zhao Yougong knew that Zhao Xi was not dead, and heard Zhao Ji's words, he already knew in his heart that the assassination was just a play, in order to let him go on the road of Gongbian.

Although he knew that Fangzheng and the others stayed by his side with ulterior motives, but Zhao Yougong never associated their identities with the previous assassination, so that he ignored the most important thing.Then, Zhao Yougong turned around and looked at his father, seeing him nodding, it meant that everything was just his own misunderstanding.

It's really ironic, if Zhao Yougong knew that his father was not dead, Zhao Yougong would not have embarked on this road of no return, and all of this was ruined by himself.If he calmed down and thought about it, then the matter would become simpler, but at that time he was assassinated, but found out that it was Ouchi's bodyguard, and it was still a sensitive period. Anyone would think that it was Zhao Ji's success, and he couldn't complain He does.

It's just that Zhao Yougong went too far this time, even if it's murder and arson, as long as the incident is not serious, Zhao Ji can find a way to suppress it and keep his reputation.This time, Zhao Yougong led an army to openly invade the palace, launched a coup d'etat, and wanted to usurp the throne.If Zhao Yougong was not a descendant of the Zhao family, and Zhao Si was hiding in the dark, Zhao Si might not be spared.

Immediately, Zhao Yougong, who had figured everything out, immediately became decadent. He fell to the ground and looked at the crowd with empty eyes. He was filled with remorse, but it was too late even if the thing had already been done. Some things had already happened and could not be undone. up.

Zhao Si looked at Zhao Yougong, who was decadent and ashen-faced, and knew that he regretted it in his heart. He knew his son Mo Ruofu, even though he hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, he still clearly knew what Zhao Yougong was thinking.Then, he turned around and saw Zhao Ji's heartbroken look, and he also knew that his imperial brother had no choice but to kill him.

Zhao seemed to be entangled, thinking and thinking, kneeling on both knees and pleading: "Brother Huang, I have something to ask!"

"I know your request, but there is no room for change in this matter. I don't want to but I have to do it!" Song Huizong was not surprised. He had already guessed what Zhao Si was begging for. He spared Zhao Yougong's life, but he had to pay the price for doing some things, and no one could help him, so he had to bear the consequences himself.

Zhao Si seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden, his temples were turning white, and he pleaded with tears streaming down his face: "Brother Emperor, don't you teach your father and son to live up to you! You Gong and his subordinates have committed crimes against your superiors, attempted to usurp the throne, and annexed the imperial silver. Capital crime, but he is the only son of my younger brother, and he has gone astray because of neglect of discipline all these years, Brother Wang Huang forgives him, and my younger brother is willing to die for him!"

"Father!..."

"Uncle Wang!..."

Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou shouted in unison, Zhao Yougong didn't expect that his father would still replace his sins with death; Zhao Gou was very surprised, he could understand the pain in Zhao Si's heart, but no matter how serious the crime Fault, Zhao Yougong is still his son in Zhao Si's heart, so he can only look at his father expectantly.

Zhao Ji's eyes were red, and he said heartbrokenly: "I don't want You Gong to die, but he has gone too far this time! If he hadn't prepared early, I'm afraid the real Song Dynasty is in danger, and he can't control the government at all with his ability. , At that time, Da Song was really in chaos!"

"I can turn a blind eye to anything, but this is not allowed! I watched Yougong grow up. Can I not know what kind of character he is? I have always regarded If I did it myself, I would also find ways to show mercy, but I have no choice but to do so!"

"Thirteenth brother, don't resent me, I can't help myself, and I have difficulties!..."
