The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 236 Time is running out
After Zhao Si told Zhao Yougong to take a good rest, he left quietly; Zhao Yougong was also really tired, there were too many things to think about, his physical fatigue made him put it down for a while, and he fell asleep directly.No matter how important things are, his exhausted body is too much for him to bear.

After Zhao Gou came out from Chu Wang's mansion, he returned to his own mansion. Steward Wang and others were on guard day and night. They also participated in the extermination operation and never closed their eyes.After Zhao Gou came back, he saw that they were all waiting in the mansion; when Steward Wang saw Zhao Gou's return, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Everyone is tired tonight, let's go to bed early!" Zhao Gou said with concern.

After hearing Zhao Gou's order, Steward Wang and the others didn't dare to support their bodies. They were indeed tired, and it took a lot of fighting to make this a trivial matter. It was really hard for them.Zhao Gou felt sympathetic to them, which moved everyone very much, so they stopped insisting and went down to rest one after another.

Now, with less than an hour before dawn, Zhao Gou didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat on the chair, carefully recalling everything, and remembered what Fangzheng said, including Zhao Yougong's attempt to usurp the throne. .

Zhao Gou was even more sure that his father and uncle Wang must have something to do with Mingjiao, but they didn't tell the truth about some things, so they could only speculate; he already knew that Mingjiao was behind Zhao Yougong's matter, and his intuition told him this matter It's not really over yet.

Zhao Gou also thought of the alliance between Song and Jin that he faced soon, and all these things came together.Immediately, Zhao Gou felt that Alexander, the treacherous officials in the court, had not been eliminated; the generals in the army had no real power, and the civilian officials were the masters. If that day really came, I was afraid that the consequences would be serious.

"Time is running out!" Zhao Gou muttered to himself.

"Young master, you haven't rested yet?" Steward Wang's voice came, he looked at Zhao Gou in surprise, and seeing his brows furrowed tightly, he couldn't help asking.

Zhao Gou turned his head and looked at Steward Wang in surprise, seeing that he didn't go down to rest with the others, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and said, "Butler Wang, why didn't you rest?"

Steward Wang smiled slightly and said, "Although I'm a little tired, I'm not too tired to move, and besides, it's getting late, so it's okay to take a little rest!"

Zhao Gou nodded after hearing this, and Steward Wang sat on a chair beside him with a smile.In the county palace, as long as no outsiders come, everyone can sit down freely, especially if they are alone. This is Zhao Gou's order, so everyone is relieved.

"Why is the young master worrying?" Steward Wang's eyes were bright. He had been by Zhao Si's side for many years, and he had already read into people's hearts. Without seeing the sleepiness in Zhao Gou's eyes, he guessed that Zhao Gou was definitely not asleep.

So Steward Wang came back quietly, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Gou sitting alone on a chair. The pensive look on his face made him understand that Zhao Gou was very preoccupied.However, Steward Wang also knew that there were some things that he could not guess. Even though Zhao Gou was approachable, sometimes he still recognized his identity clearly and did not dare to go beyond it.

Now, Zhao Gou knew that Steward Wang was a real butler, worthy of being the butler of the villa; in the huge Amber Villa, when Zhao seemed to be away, he would take care of everything, which showed his ability and that everyone had no doubts about his orders. It can be seen that Steward Wang is very good at dealing with the world.

Others didn't notice their own thoughts, but Wang Steward saw through them; although they said it in a more cryptic way, they actually knew their own identities and dared not go beyond them. Zhao Gou knew all about this.So, he didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Not long ago, my father asked me to take over the villa and become the owner of the new generation!"

"The young master should have agreed to the emperor's request!" Steward Wang told the truth as expected. He was not guessing randomly, but he understood the truth of the matter to some extent. You must know that when the villa was managed by him, he was involved in many things. .

Moreover, Zhao Si also once said to him that Zhao Gou will be the next owner of the villa; this incident was caused by Zhao Yougong, and it is bound to give Zhao Si the determination to step down, just because Zhao Gou has more than one time Said in front of him that he was tired and wanted Zhao Gou to take over.

After Zhao Yougong's matter was quelled, they all came back, only Zhao Si, Zhao Yougong, and Zhao Gou did not return, Wang Butler guessed that this incident was an opportunity.Although it was much faster than he imagined, it was still natural.However, Steward Wang didn't know whether Zhao Gou knew the purpose of the villa.

"Then, the young master must be for the covenant between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. I wonder if my subordinate guessed it right?" Steward Wang said tentatively, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled lightly.

Steward Wang knew the purpose of the villa, and Zhao Gou knew the reason, and he was a little surprised to see him tell the reason for his worries.After all, even if he knew about the covenant between Song and Jin, he couldn't have guessed it so accurately. He asked curiously, "How did you guess it?"

"Since the young master has confirmed that he is the next owner of the villa, then the subordinates will not hide anything anymore!" Steward Wang said calmly, "Because the Song and Jin countries formed an alliance to jointly resist the Liao Kingdom, the subordinates also participated in it." However, I went to meet and negotiate with the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin with the owner of the villa, and finally there was a slight change because some people in the court did not know what to do."

"The young master's words just happened to be heard by the subordinates. Since time is running out, then it is this matter and nothing else; if there are other things, I am afraid it is a traitor in the court. With the young master's You must look farther, then it is only the matter of the alliance between Song and Jin."

Zhao Gou stared at Steward Wang incredulously, marveling at his subtle observation and thoughtfulness.He knew that Butler Wang must have something special to be the butler of the huge Amber Villa. Now that he thinks about it, he really found a treasure.

"The young master is worried that Jin will become the second Liao Kingdom?"

Zhao Gou showed a dignified expression on his face, and said loudly: "It's not worry, but the fact that Jin Guo's ambitions can be discovered by anyone who has been in contact with it, unless it is those with bad intentions!"

Steward Wang heard Zhao Gou's affirmative voice, as if sure, and felt a little strange, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.However, these housekeepers did not ask, and it is better not to know some things.He also understood that Zhao Gou was worrying about what to do. The matter was imminent. If measures were not taken as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous.

As a housekeeper, there are some things that Steward Wang will not solve on his behalf, nor will he express his thoughts, unless Zhao Gou asks, otherwise he will only hide them in his heart and become a permanent secret.Zhao Gou didn't tell him about his plan, but only asked about the villa, and Steward Wang also told him everything he knew, without any concealment.

After Steward Wang told Zhao Gou what he knew, a strategy emerged in his mind, which might be useful.The current situation does not allow him to think too much. Only by dealing with the hidden dangers in the Song Dynasty as soon as possible can we better prepare for foreign enemies. Otherwise, when that day comes, I am afraid that internal and external troubles will endanger the Song Dynasty and the historical tragedy will repeat itself. It is not him The desired result can only be achieved by speeding up the pace.
