The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 246

The crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Qiu and others are well aware that many things have been committed by the hands of everyone, and if they really want to investigate, they may be doomed.Zhao Gou made illustrious military exploits before, and returned to the court to make meritorious deeds. He has always been law-abiding, and he is still a law-enforcer, so he has no way to start.

Zhao Yougong is a person who has been away from the court for several years, except for the incident back then, he has not left any evidence of crime, so he still has no way to start.Even if they framed it, it would be useless; everyone was like ants on a hot pot, terrified but helpless.

Prince Zhao Huan and others have negotiated for a long time, but there is still no suitable strategy to deal with it; moreover, they have already guessed one or two of Zhao Gou's plan and broke through one by one.If it is a pot, I am afraid that the risk will be greater, and the most effective way is to break them one by one.

Now the situation has been turned upside down, Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong became the main attackers, Prince Zhao Huan and others became the defenders, there was no way to avoid them, so they had to bite the bullet and go forward.Zhao Gou didn't need to use any tricks. An open and aboveboard investigation could not help him or stop him, so he had to let Zhao Gou continue to break through.

If Zhao Gou was really defeated one by one, Prince Zhao Huan worked hard for many years and finally got his current status, how could he willingly give up.Even if he was passive, Prince Zhao Huan would not really give Zhao Gou any chance. He strictly asked Gao Qiu and others to restrain themselves, not to make a high profile, and try not to confront Zhao Gou and others head-on.

As a Taiwei, Gao Qiu also has a lot of handles in his hands, but he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, so he is not in danger for the time being.As for Wang Fu, Li Bangyan and others, it is different, especially Li Bangyan's identity is the most sensitive, he is the chief eunuch in the palace, he must be careful, and he is also an important pawn lurking beside the emperor, if there is any mistake, They fell into a completely passive situation.

Everyone's face was ashen, frowning, and they left the East Palace with solemn expressions. Prince Zhao Huan's face was also not good-looking. He never thought that he would face such an embarrassing situation one day.Zhao Huan kicked the table in front of him angrily, grabbed his hands tightly, sneered again and again, and said in a low voice: "I will never stand still, even if I have to do it!"

At the same time, Zhao Gou met Zhao Yougong late at night, and the two of them stopped meeting at the Chu Palace and went to Amber Villa by coincidence.Seeing the two of them coming, Zhao Si nodded with a slight smile, turned and left.Originally, Zhao Si was going to withdraw from the villa, but Zhao Gou finally asked him to stay, but Zhao Si had already let go of the responsibility, and everything was entrusted to the two of them. As long as they discussed important matters, Zhao Si would leave and would not participate.

Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou nodded respectfully, and after watching Zhao Si leave, they sat down.Zhao Gou said straight to the point: "Who are we going to deal with next? Do you have any suggestions?"

"Director Li Bangyan!" Zhao Yougong smiled lightly and said it without hesitation, as if he had already thought of the answer.

Zhao Gou nodded in agreement and said, "That's what I mean too!"

Prince Zhao Huan guessed right, Zhao Gou's plan was to defeat them one by one.Now, the situation is in his favor, so he should make good use of it.The two of them don't have any handles, but the Prince Zhao Huan's party basically has a handle, as long as they handle it properly, they can be broken, and they will be punished one by one.

Zhao Huan is the eldest son of the emperor and the present prince, Zhao Gou is not willing to confront him head-on, otherwise his power will be completely exposed.In addition, Zhao Gou and the crown prince Zhao Huan are fighting each other, even if it is not for the throne, some people who care about him will say that he is wrong; Zhao Huan is the legitimate orthodox crown prince, he is just the king of the county, and he has not even reached the prince, so he must not leave .

Even if Zhao Huan had more power in his hands, as long as the main personnel under his command were cut off, it would be a mess. At that time, Zhao Huan was just a bare-bones commander and could not stir up any storms.Zhao Gou's main purpose was not to seek the throne, nor did he want his father to depose Zhao Huan as the crown prince and make him the crown prince.

Zhao Gou's real purpose was to cut off the treacherous ministers in the Song Dynasty. Prince Zhao Huan did not use any means to achieve his goal, but chose to join forces with these people, and he could only blame himself for his bad luck.It might be better if it was to win over other courtiers, but it is a pity that these people have a handle in their hands, no matter how good they are, they are worried about being found out, and any one of them can punish them.

After analysis, Zhao Gou finally determined who to deal with next, and Li Bangyan was the first to bear the brunt, because of his identity, and because he was the closest to them, he was also the best target.As long as Li Bangyan is cut off, the prince Zhao Huan and others know every move of the palace, and the important chess pieces are cut off, the next thing will be much easier.

Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou had exactly the same thoughts, he knew that hitting a snake would take seven inches, and only a serious blow to a vital point can give a fatal blow.Although Prince Zhao Huan was unkind to him, Zhao Yougong would not really put Zhao Huan to death.After all, Prince Zhao Huan is also his elder brother, some things have to be estimated, others are irrelevant, and they can be dealt with as they want.

"Li Bangyan is far better to deal with than other people!" Zhao Yougong said with a slight smile as if he knew what Zhao Gou was thinking.

Zhao Gou asked in surprise, "How do you say that?"

Zhao Yougong said: "Li Bangyan's father, Li Pu, was originally a silversmith, and he himself likes to communicate with Jinshi. As long as there is any need for those who go to Beijing along the way to take the exam, Li Pu will help. It is precisely because of this that Li Bangyan got it. The name of Jinshi."

"However, he has some talents, and he is handsome, bold, graceful, and writes good articles. Since entering Beijing, his reputation has risen and been appreciated by the emperor; however, Li Bangyan likes romantic places. If not for this, I'm afraid he wouldn't be a eunuch."

Zhao Gou asked curiously: "Could it be that there are some secrets in it?"

"It's indeed a secret. Relying on his connections in the capital, Li Bangyan was arrogant and unscrupulous. He actually had a quarrel with others in Yihong Courtyard because of a woman, and it turned into a fight. Never had that person practiced so well." Martial arts, Li Bangyan can only be beaten when he fights with him, and that man's vicious mind directly deposes him, making him inhumane forever."

"That man abolished Li Bangyan and attracted the servants, but he still ran away. However, Li Bangyan's bright future was completely abolished at that time, and he became a eunuch. This is Li Bangyan's shame. Li Bangyan is in the palace. His status is getting higher and higher, gradually revealing his true nature, becoming unrestrained again, and getting worse, if you want to bring him down, you only need to thoroughly trace your identity and you will be able to solve it."

Zhao Gou nodded with a sudden realization. He himself is the supervisory censor, and he doesn't need to set up a trap at all. He can judge Li Bangyan's crimes by directly investigating Li Bangyan's daily behavior.However, Zhao Gou still felt that there was something in Zhao Yougong's words, and he didn't fully explain it, so he said with a smile: "Cousin, if this is the only reason, it may be difficult to bring down this person. Could there be other reasons?"
