The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 316
Zhao Gou was kicked out of the palace by the guards in a trance, he was stunned for a long time before he believed that what happened in front of him was true, turned around resentfully, and went back to the house without looking back.

The moment Zhao Gou, who was in a depressed mood, stepped into the gate of the mansion, Steward Wang greeted him and said in a low voice, "My lord, the lord is here!"

"The Thirteenth Uncle is here?" Zhao Gou was taken aback, and quickly entered through the door. He saw Zhao Si talking and laughing with everyone amiably, and saw Zhao Gou coming back, nodding with a smile. Zhao Gou hurriedly said: "Thirteenth Uncle, When did you come? Why weren't you informed sooner?"

Zhao Si smiled and said: "I just came here for a while, there is no need to be like this, there are still people coming later, let's talk about it later!"

Zhao Gou looked puzzledly, and sat down without saying anything. Zhao Ru ordered someone to bring tea to Zhao Gou, and then continued to chat and laugh with everyone, leaving him aside in the cold.

Zhao Goubai was bored and thought: "Why is Uncle Thirteen here? Could it be something, or something else? What's going on here?"

About half an hour later, Zhao Si smiled and said: "Butler Wang, go and open the door! He should be here!"

Steward Wang nodded, and went to open the door in person. It was Zhao Yougong and several adults who came into view, but none of them entered the mansion. Zhao Yougong nodded as a signal, and then rushed in.

Everyone wanted to enter the mansion but they were a little worried. Finally, Butler Wang said with a smile: "My lords are here. The young master has something to do. I instruct all my lords to go to the side hall and wait until I see a distinguished guest!"

As a result, all the talents entered the mansion, but they were taken to another place by Steward Wang, and he also ordered other people to serve cakes and tea for everyone to enjoy.

It was the first time for everyone to visit the mansion. They thought that Zhao Gou's mansion must be magnificent, but they didn't expect it to be so simple, and all the men in the mansion had never seen any maids or maidservants.

Immediately, everyone remembered that in their mansion, at least there were a few maidservants and maidservants. Even if they were not resplendent, there were still a few famous calligraphy and paintings, or jade, rockery, etc., which also had a bit of a literati atmosphere. What they feel most is the courage of military generals, and they admire them endlessly.

Zhao Gou was wondering who it was, and was a little surprised to see Zhao Yougong in a hurry, and Steward Wang came back after a while.

When Zhao Yougong saw Zhao Gou, he was about to speak, but when he saw his father was here, he was startled unexpectedly, and said in astonishment: "I have seen my father!"

Zhao Si nodded with a smile, and said, "Get up! Sit down first, we'll talk about things later!" He looked at Butler Wang who came behind him, "Have you ever made an arrangement!"

"Follow the lord's orders!" Steward Wang replied respectfully.

Steward Wang heard that Zhao Si said that there would be distinguished guests coming later and asked him to arrange in advance. He thought it was a joke, but he never thought it was true. When he saw other people, even he was shocked.

"En!" Zhao Si nodded, signaling him to go down first, and then looked at Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou, "I know the purpose of your coming here; I also know about your affairs, I came here to tell you, Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, and things are not developing in a bad direction!"

"Gong'er, Father knows that you are worried. What should Gou'er do when he is dismissed from all official positions? He also knows that there are still a few people who came with you, but they were taken to another place by the steward to wait!"

Zhao Si eloquently explained that Zhao Gou's dismissal was unexpected and was being cleaned up. He calmly smiled and said, "I didn't come here alone, the emperor ordered me to come here!"

"What does the emperor mean?" Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong looked at each other, and looked at Zhao Si in unison, not understanding why he said that.

If it was really the emperor's intention, why did they deprive Zhao Gou of his power in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and let him close the house, they still don't understand why the emperor did this.

Zhao seemed to know what they were thinking, and said straight to the point: "You have been in the officialdom for too long, and some things are not as simple as you think! This operation, although it has achieved results, has also made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. , It’s just that you are acting too recklessly, and you are too eager for quick success, it seems to be calm, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent!”

"The Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. This is the state policy that Emperor Taizu has always implemented. Even Emperor Taizong did not dare to change it easily. Can't go on, do you know why?"

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong nodded, "There are too many reasons for not being able to continue. Even I feel that if Song Dynasty does not come to a reform, the prospect is bleak, but if it is really unable to go on, it will damage the interests of many people."

"Even if you win the hearts of the people, the country cannot be entrusted to the people to manage. Only literati can govern the country! If you completely rely on the people, the country will be in danger!"

"You guys were too reckless this time. You acted hastily and deliberately concealed the number of people. You almost made a mistake! If you hadn't argued hard in the court, every sentence was reasonable, and you were favored by the emperor, if you were another official, you would just I am afraid that I have already been dismissed from office and sent directly to the prison!"

"You really don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and this incident is still within the expected range! Although you have thought about your arguments, you have enough reasons to survive, and Gou'er has become famous all over the world over and over again, which is a kindness to the people. , It is beneficial to the literati, and it is beneficial to the generals, so that no uncontrollable things happen!"

"If you really want to change, it's not the right time! The emperor's eyes are like a torch, not worse than yours, but only longer than yours. He hasn't made any big moves. Xu Xutuzhi has too many worries, even if he really wants to do it. It is convincing, and when the time is ripe, everything will come to fruition, and then it will be the time for real reforms and the rise of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"When will the time be right?" Zhao Gou asked impatiently.

"You don't have to think about it. When the time is right, you will definitely have a chance to show your talents! It's useless to be impatient now, and you will know when the time comes!" Zhao smiled mysteriously, and said mysteriously: "At that time, the emperor and I only had one thing for you. A request, no matter what the price is, must succeed, never allow failure, can you do it?"

"Never break my promise, I will do it!" Zhao Gou replied firmly.

"That's great!" Zhao Si smiled, and said: "There is another thing, you should take the time to go to Pan's residence! This is etiquette, and it is also a way to thank him for saving his life, as it should be!"

Zhao Gou nodded solemnly, he knew what Zhao Sian said.When he was demoted at the beginning, it was more or less related to Pan Lianggui. After Zhao Si's advice, Zhao Gou understood the meaning. It is also a kind of wooing, and Pan Lianggui's assistance is even more powerful, just like Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, an indispensable person.
