The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 245
Zhao Yougong's words solved the doubts in Zhao Gou's heart. He originally thought that Zhao Yougong was the murderer who killed Zhou Yunqing, and his senior brother and others felt alienated from him.Now, Zhao Gou thought of this matter when he learned everything. This matter must be explained clearly to everyone, otherwise there may be accidents in the future.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong left together all the way, Zhao Yougong went back to the mansion directly, and Zhao Gou went to the Overwatch Council.

However, Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou walked side by side, which still attracted the attention of many officials.A few days ago, there were rumors that Zhao Gou visited the Chu Palace many times in private and had a good talk with Chu King Zhao Yougong.Originally, it was just a rumor, but today when I saw it, I realized that it was not as simple as a rumor, and all the officials speculated about the relationship between the two.

At the same time, Gao Qiu, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, without a smile on their faces, and all of them looked dignified, and then nodded solemnly when they met each other.Everyone took a look and then dispersed, their eyes were heavy, they turned and left without making a sound.

That night, Gao Qiu, Wang Fu and others gathered in the East Palace by coincidence to discuss important matters again!This time, the challenge they faced was higher than ever. Zhao Gou alone made them helpless, and there was another difficult Zhao Yougong, so they had to treat it with caution.

Prince Zhao Huan said angrily with a pale face: "There is already an opponent who makes me a headache, and now there is another one. If the two of them are really united, it will be a big force. If it is For the others, there is nothing unexpected about this palace, but he wants to be united with that guy, I am really angry!"

"I haven't shown up for many years, but he turned over. The last time he was punished, if the father didn't love him, and he was the only son of the thirteenth uncle, that alone would have completely prevented him from turning over. Originally How can such a change occur in the planned things, and the success falls short!"

Gao Qiu and the others were shocked, they were in the same spirit as Prince Zhao Huan, and they had been by his side for a while, they were old Jianghu again, how could they not know who Zhao Huan was talking about.They didn't know much about Zhao Yougong, King of Chu, and they didn't inquire about his deeds, nor did they have any communication.

Today, after hearing what Prince Zhao Huan said, they remembered that incident many years ago. Gao Qiu and others had also heard about it. Li Bangyan knew this incident even more. I like it, and I have seen Zhao Si before.

That incident was even circulated among the people, but I didn't expect it to be a trick set up by the seemingly weak prince, in order to eradicate dissidents.Everyone was astonished and looked at the furious Zhao Huan one after another. They all remained silent. They didn't say much, and they didn't dare to intervene. It's safer to keep silent at this time.

"The king of Chu has not shown up in the court these years, and there are previous incidents. I am afraid that his power is not as good as before. Even if he joins forces with the king of Guangping County, the opinion of the ministers is irrelevant, and it cannot influence the overall situation. King Pingjun's thunderous attack caught us off guard, judging from this momentum, I'm afraid it will be someone else next."

Gao Qiu's face was solemn, and he analyzed methodically: "The king of Guangping's move of 'defeat each' is indeed brilliant. Even if we want to ask for mercy, we can't do anything. We can only watch them be executed. Zhu Xi is not very old. The effect is that success is not enough but failure is more than failure. If he dies, he will die; Tong Guan's beheading was beyond the expectation of the minister, and he will definitely not leave any clues because of his prudence in handling things, I am afraid that someone helped him."

Wang Fu lowered his voice and continued, "Tong Guan's incident was done a few years ago. At that time, no one else knew about it, even I didn't know about it. If you want to know the details of the corruption case, you must investigate the files from a few years ago. .If I guessed correctly, I'm afraid that this supervisory censor is not as simple as he appears to be, or the King of Chu is secretly helping him!"

Liang Shicheng took a sip of tea, recalled the past with Tong Guan and others, nodded in agreement, and said: "Wang Youxiang is right. At that time, the miscellaneous family was in charge of Da Nei, and he had frequent contacts with them; Even the miscellaneous family were shocked, he swallowed all the silver taels by himself, it is expected that he would not be able to swallow so much silver taels by himself, and besides Cai Jing was still around at that time, I am afraid he would have a share too."

"Okay, shut up!" Prince Zhao Huan sternly said with a cold face: "They are all dead, and it is not a pity to die! The next step is the most critical time. If I have not guessed wrong, I am afraid The two of them must have other conspiracy!"

"You don't know much about Zhao Yougong, and you underestimate him too much. Don't think that he has no power after being away from the court. If I guessed correctly, the power originally belonged to Uncle Thirteen, and his previous power The subordinates will stand by his side, which means that the next thing is a head-on confrontation that is evenly matched."

The person Prince Zhao Huan fears the most is Zhao Gou, who turned the tide with his own strength. Not only did he lead the army to quell the Liangshan rebellion at a young age, but he also wiped out the Fangla rebellion, making great military exploits; It is also an outstanding feat. I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who have achieved this level since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou's methods and resourcefulness are difficult to guess, and he responds calmly and calmly when encountering problems.Moreover, no one knew what was going on in his heart, he was unpredictable, and he was really a great enemy. What made him most jealous was that Song Huizong's attitude was known to be partial, and the object of partiality was Zhao Gou. It is the most important and most taboo thing; he is the eldest son of the emperor and the prince, the future prince, not only will not get the status he deserves, but even the power in his hands is not as good as Zhao Gou, which is indeed a big difference in comparison. cut.

The person Prince Zhao Huan hated the most, Zhao Yougong, was not only crushed by him since he was a child and humiliated, but also mercilessly ridiculed by Zhao Yougong when he met him. The kind of bitter hatred made him show a ferocious smile, I can't wait for Zhao Yougong to die immediately.

Today, the combination of these two people is a real catastrophe and a big challenge for Prince Zhao Huan.In this battle, only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed; if he really loses, he is afraid that his position as the crown prince will be lost, and he will lose his value.

"His Royal Highness, why don't we spread the word and slander the reputation of King Chu again, so even if we stand in the court, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to get more reuse!"

Zhao Huan shook his head, and directly denied: "It's been so long since that incident, if I mention it again, I'm afraid something will go wrong with Lao Jiu's method. It's best not to cause unnecessary trouble at this time."

Everyone's faces darkened, and after much deliberation, they couldn't find any way to target Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong. This was the most troublesome thing.If they continue to be beaten passively like this, I am afraid that the forces that have finally gathered together will fall apart, but no one in their hands is clean, even Prince Zhao Huan himself is not clean, and he does not want to admit that he has no way to deal with it, but he has to admit that he is helpless.
