The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 177 Uncle Emperor, You Are Here!

Zhao Gou was very grateful. He knew that what Song Jiang and others were worried about was not only Song Jiang coming, but also his uncle Sun Li.In order not to attract attention, or to be known by interested people as an excuse to impeach Zhao Gou, only the four of them came here in a hurry to remind Zhao Gou to be careful.

After Song Jiang and the others ate and drank in the county palace, they woke up early in the morning and received an imperial decree, telling them to leave the capital in a few days.Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't think much about it. It wasn't until Wu Yong, the military strategist, woke everyone up that something was wrong.

The departure of Song Jiang and others did not cause any loss to them. The official position was promoted and the power was increased. They were all military officers, especially the third-rank and fourth-rank officials. But only a few people remained.

Everyone thought to themselves that something was wrong, so they all came to the Prince's Mansion by coincidence.At this time, Zhao Gou was not in the mansion, and was in the process of beheading Fang La, and they did not send anyone to urge them, but stayed in the mansion waiting for Zhao Gou to return.At the same time, they discussed in private again, each expressing their thoughts, only to find that several of them were thinking about the same problem, and they were even more anxious.

Song Jiang and others left, and Zhao Gou stayed in the court alone. That was the real isolation and helplessness, and the far water could not save the near fire.The more they thought about it, the more surprised they were. The emperor's will was conveyed through the Privy Council. Song Jiang and others speculated that the prince Zhao Huan was playing tricks in it, but they didn't know that it was Song Huizong's own decree, and the reason was not understandable to outsiders.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is the Crown Prince's obstruction!" Wu Yong, the military adviser, frowned and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Gou replied: "This matter has become a foregone conclusion, and we can't change it. After all, this is the emperor's will. Could it be that he really disobeyed the imperial decree and was unwilling to leave the capital? If he did that, wouldn't it be to give them an excuse to arrest us?" Catch them all."

"Furthermore, my brothers have fought side by side with me, and they have already become one body. One is prosperous and one is harmed! If the brothers disobey the imperial decree, the consequences will be unimaginable. No matter how you say it, we are still courtiers, and the emperor has not really lost sight of the facts! "

"Taking ten thousand steps back, the crown prince is not that capable. If he blatantly passed on the imperial decree, wouldn't he be driving himself to a dead end? Even if the crown prince has changed a lot in the past year, he would not dare to do so. If If I guess correctly, the emperor must have personally ordered it."

Everyone was silent, they thought the same in their hearts, but they had to admit that this imperial decree was issued by Song Huizong himself.However, they didn't dare to think this way, because it was really Song Huizong who did this, which would have driven Zhao Gou to a dead end. How could he fight against the huge power of Prince Zhao Huan with his own strength.

If Zhao Gou said the facts, it directly shows that Song Huizong's favor for Zhao Gou is far from before, and it can also be said that he was abandoned, and the situation is grim.Song Jiang and others were in a state of anxiety, but Zhao Gou was indifferent and looked at it openly.

Although he didn't know the real intention of his father, Zhao Gou believed that with the emperor's trade-off technique, he must find a balance point. It was impossible to make Prince Zhao Huan's family grow bigger, and he would definitely give him some support.So far, Zhao Gou didn't know what kind of help his father would give, but he never worried.

"Brothers, don't worry, things are not as bad as you think, nor will they be so good." Zhao Gou looked at Song Jiang and the others with a smile. At that level, I'm afraid that we will not say that we will be promoted this time, and even our own lives will be in danger. Since the emperor has an imperial edict, we can just follow orders. Presumably this matter should be the beginning, and the follow-up is the real one. Wonderful place."

Lu Junyi frowned, and asked in surprise, "Is that true?"

Zhao Gou nodded firmly, and said: "Not to mention very sure, there are also seven or eight points. Brothers, don't forget, the emperor is my father, and even if the tiger's poison does not eat the son, so what if the father loves the crown prince?" .Did my brother never think about it, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages!"

Everyone said in unison: "How can the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?"

"Brothers leave the capital, so it is a kind of protection for me!" Zhao Gou said, "My brothers are recruited into the court, and they are military officers. If they stay in the capital, I have no real power. , I’m afraid I can’t stand the rules of the court; the elder brothers are also jealous, if you really see the injustice, you can’t help it in all likelihood, and the consequences will be even more serious.”

Everyone suddenly realized that they hadn't thought of this.As Zhao Gou said, they were all recruited into the court, and they were born recklessly. Some of them were court officials before, and they chose to become bandits because they couldn't understand the behavior of some people in the court. There are many rules in the court, and they I can't bear my temper, I'm afraid it will be another disaster.

Thinking about it from another angle, Song Jiang and others felt that Song Huizong didn't want to dismiss the forces under Zhao Gou's command, but rather a kind of protection, not like abandoning him, but rather helping him.

Immediately, everyone suddenly became enlightened, and their tightly locked brows relaxed, and then they said a few words to Zhao Gou, and then they left.

When they left, Zhao Gou remained motionless, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, since you're here, you don't have to hide, you'd better show up!"

Zhao Si was surprised and said: "You boy, how do you know I'm here?"

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "Uncle Huang, you love me the most. It is impossible to let me ignore you. You will definitely come. Besides, Uncle Huang's lightness kung fu is good, but he appeared in my mansion quietly. , if I don’t know, that’s okay!”

"You kid!" Zhao Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at Zhao Gou lovingly.

Zhao Gou said: "Uncle Huang, I'm afraid it's something important to come here this time!"

Zhao Xi nodded and said: "It was something important, but now it seems that it is the same whether you say it or not."

Zhao Gou said: "Uncle Huang, it should be the emperor's will that you come here. In this way, my previous guess was correct?"

Song Jiang and others were here, and Zhao Gou found that Zhao Xi had come quietly.However, he didn't say anything, and he only pointed it out after they left, because he just wanted to see why his thirteen emperor uncles came here.However, Zhao Si's words made him understand that his previous guess and the purpose of Zhao Si's coming here are almost inseparable.

Zhao Xi came here to wake up Zhao Gou, and he also came here according to his brother's order, to give some advice.Zhao Gou's words, as well as his thoughts, were quite unexpected. At that moment, Zhao Si felt that Zhao Gou had really grown up, and guessed Song Huizong's mind just by guessing.

"What a pair of father and son, they really have a good heart!"

Zhao Gou asked: "Uncle Huang, I understand what Father Huang means. I'm afraid some people also understand the truth. What if they find out?"

Zhao Si smiled and said: "This is not something you are worried about, you have your own way to deal with it. Your resourcefulness is really comparable to that of the emperor's brother, and it is worthy of being a father and son. It is really good that you understand that, some It’s hard to say clearly, you will find out in the future, don’t let us down.”

Zhao Gou is a smart man, he also guessed the general purpose of Zhao Si's visit, and after hearing what he said, he already understood clearly in his heart.Some things can't be said, it's better to keep them in your heart!Zhao Gou nodded solemnly and said, "Uncle Huang, don't worry! I am no longer a child, and I can still understand some things!"

Zhao Si nodded in relief, looked at Zhao Gou kindly, and praised: "Old Jiu, you have really grown up!"
