The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 188 The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry
Prince Zhao Huan was puzzled and said: "The talent of the ninth younger brother is obvious to all, why did the emperor choose him to be a supervisory censor?"

If Song Huizong really wanted to support Zhao Gou as an enemy of himself, he should not have given it to the supervisory censor.Although the matter of Zhu Xi caused Zhao Huan to suffer a lot of blows and lost his power.However, more than half of the ministers in the court belonged to him, and they were not injured.

According to Zhao Huan's guess, Song Huizong really wanted to help Zhao Gou, so he should find another job instead of becoming a supervisory censor.Unless there is another purpose, and this purpose is to attack one's own power.The supervisory censor is neither in name nor in name only, but a real minister with real power.

Therefore, what is Zhao Huan's suspicion of Song Huizong's motive?Or, Song Huizong didn't want to support Zhao Gou, but to let his power fall apart.As the saying goes: if the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, as long as the seven people headed by Zhao Huan collapse, everything will come to fruition.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan frowned, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the father really wants to abolish the position of the prince of the palace?"

Everyone thought of the same question, even Gao Lian was not calm.Before, Gao Li was confident that the emperor would not do anything to them.However, after calming down, they all found that they were wrong, and they were wrong too much, that is, Zhao Gou is not Zhao Ji, so they couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

"If things are really as expected, I'm afraid this matter is not the case!" Zhao Huan said in a deep voice, "I am the current prince, and I will never allow him to climb on top of my head again to show off his might." This time, we must do everything possible to prevent his actions and limit his growth."

Wang Fu said, "What is the prince's plan?"

Zhao Huan ignored it, looked at Liang Shicheng and Li Yan, and said, "What unusual behavior did Royal Father have recently?"

Liang Shicheng said: "The emperor has not done anything recently, but the emperor's thoughts are getting deeper and deeper, as if he has changed a lot."

Li Yan nodded in agreement, and said: "Reporting to the prince, the slaves also feel that the emperor has become different from usual!"

"Why do you explain this?" Zhao Huan asked anxiously.

Liang Shicheng went on to say: "Even today's matter, the evidence of Zhu Xi's matter is solid, and there is no problem. However, the county king does not know where the evidence came from. Even if the county king has some skills, it is absolutely impossible to have such power to deceive the emperor. Cultivate power privately."

"If it wasn't for the emperor's assistance, I'm afraid no one would dare to do this. Even the local officials and county guards would not dare to disobey Zhu Xi. The southeast area has become his world. If there is no emperor's permission or help, There is simply no way that much evidence can be gathered."

"What really surprised the servants is that the attitude of the emperor seems to have changed all of a sudden. Even if neither of us can enter the body, the whole person is mysterious, and even the concubines in the palace don't care. Among them, he was silent."

"I'm afraid..."

Zhao Huan saw that Liang Shicheng was hesitant to speak, and said anxiously, "What are you afraid of?"

Li Yan knew that Liang Shicheng had something difficult to say, so he was the only one who could do it for him. He said, "I'm afraid the emperor already knows about our relationship with the crown prince, otherwise he won't refuse us. If he didn't guess wrong, the emperor is guarding against us. , Even sometimes when I look at the emperor, I feel a feeling of heart palpitations, which has never happened before."

Zhao Huan was stunned, Gao Qiu was dumbfounded, Wang Fu was dumbfounded, Tong Guan was silent, this time they were really scared.Today's Song Huizong hides so deeply that they are afraid, never before.Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, literati have rarely been killed.

However, Song Huizong repeatedly beheaded and killed literati, as long as the criminals deceived the emperor, they were all imprisoned in the sky prison or executed.The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, and it was also an era when literati occupied absolute dominance.Song Huizong's change made them a little unprepared, and they were more worried.

"You mean, Father has already begun to doubt our relationship?" Zhao Huan was silent for a long time, frowning, staring at Li Yan and Liang Shicheng, and seeing them nodding again, said: "If Father I really doubt it, why didn't I investigate clearly? Could it be..."

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan was stunned and silent, staring at them with wide eyes; Gao Qi, Tong Guan and the others were also dumbfounded, and so on, I am afraid that the emperor knows more things than they think , and Song Huizong couldn't personally come forward for all this, so he sent Zhao Gou to investigate and deal with the truth in the name of monitoring the censor.

"Prince, I don't know if the old minister thinks what we are thinking is true or not." As expected of a veteran in the officialdom, Gao Qiu pointed at the core of his words and said, "It all depends on the next actions of the county king. If it is true, it will be true." Starting with us, I'm afraid it won't be long before we see it; it's a blessing or a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided! However, we can't sit still and wait for death."

If it is a high ball, it will make Dashi a little better in everyone's heart, but I am still a little worried.So, after Zhao Huan discussed with everyone again, he decided to seal everything up that night. If some people knew something before, then there is no need to hide it. Only things in the dark cannot be discovered by the emperor, otherwise They really don't have enough heads to chop off even one extra head.

At this time, when Zhao Gou returned to the mansion, he didn't say much, just took a bath and lay down to rest.Steward Wang and the others couldn't ask more questions, they could only wait. If Zhao Gou opened his mouth, they would be able to ask more questions.

That night, Zhao Gou had a good night's sleep comfortably, but Prince Zhao Huan and others held candles to talk at night. It was not until dawn that they turned and left in a hurry.Zhao Gou smiled as if he didn't take the matter to heart, and he didn't know what he planned.

For the next period of time, Zhao Gou still stood still, watching the situation quietly, and did not take any action. Even if he was holding Shang Fang's sword, he had no intention of doing anything at all.Such slowness made Xu Jingheng anxious.

Really the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry to death!

Seeing that Zhao Gou had no intention of doing anything, Xu Jingheng boldly went to Zhao Gou's county palace in a state of anxiety.Xu Jingheng was impatient and upright. Seeing the days passing by, Zhao Gou didn't take any action, and asked straight to the point: "Lord Yushi, when can we do it?"

Zhao Gou smiled lightly and said, "Master Xu can't wait?"

"Nonsense!" Xu Jingheng cursed fiercely in his heart, suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "The emperor expects the county king to do something, and he doesn't want to see the county king doing nothing, and he doesn't want to pay attention to the behavior of the officials. I'm afraid I'll lose the emperor's kindness."

How could Zhao Gou not know that Xu Jingheng's words were thorny, and he didn't care at all, and said: "Master Xu, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, have you ever heard of it? Sometimes, the dog will jump over the wall when he is in a hurry, and he must leave behind .Since we have to do it, we should cut the weeds and roots without hesitation, and we must not leave any hidden dangers. Presumably, the ministers of the court and the central government are like ants on a hot pot at this time, fidgeting, and the effect I want is to make them terrified. Wouldn't it be better to be entangled!"
