The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 555 Am I Wrong?

Everyone was puzzled, even if Zhao Gou explained the reason in detail, they still felt a little unbelievable.Even so, everyone still obeyed Zhao Gou's order.No matter what their identities are, as long as Zhao Gou is the backbone, they will not worry about being useless.

Gao Chong is also the general of the auxiliary country, although he has a false name and no real power, he can't leave the capital at will, and he can't disappear without reason.Therefore, Zhao Gou decided to let Gao Chong live in Gao Chong's house directly, and the old lady stayed with Zhao Gou.

Even though Gao Chong was a little reluctant, he had no choice but to agree.In addition, Zhao Gou also told Gao Chong not to disclose anything about this place, and offenders would be dealt with by military law.Gao Chong is not a person who likes to talk too much, he nodded and agreed.

Zhao Gou didn't write a letter to Zhao Yougong, nor did he tell Gao Chong what to do, just let him go.As for how to persuade Zhao Yougong, that's up to him, otherwise he will find another place to live, or live in Liu Guangshi's house.

Zhao Gou is not worried about where Gao Chong lives. With his ability, he can live wherever he wants.Even though Zhao Yougong hadn't come here for a long time, Zhao Gou believed that Zhao Yougong would not just watch Gao Chong living on the street, so he boldly arranged other things.

Steward Wang obeyed Zhao Gou's instructions and searched for a suitable mansion. He couldn't go to inquire about the news in a fair manner, but disguised himself.After three days of searching, Steward Wang found a more suitable mansion and bought it for 1000 taels.If it weren't for seeing that the decoration in the mansion is not bad, I'm afraid it can be bought for a few hundred taels.

"Young master, I have found the mansion, when will I move there?"

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Let's move over tonight!"

Butler Wang nodded, he turned and went out, and then ordered the others to start packing up the soft things.In addition, Steward Wang also prepared four carriages, one for Wang Shishi and the old lady, and the other three for quilts and the like.

Since Zhao Gou seldom returns to the mansion, there are relatively few objects, and there are more fine and soft ones.Zhao Gou didn't take the rest with him, and there was an extra carriage that was empty. Finally, Zhao Gou thought that it would be better for him not to show up, so he just sat in the carriage.

When everything was packed, everyone immediately set out out of the city gate, and Zhao Gou asked Gao Chong to go to Chu Palace.Moreover, Zhao Gou told Gao Chong to go back after an hour.Because he knew Zhao Yougong too well, if he knew that they left overnight, he would definitely come to chase him.

The city of Bianjing is divided into inner palace, inner city and outer city, and the county palace is located in the inner city.Now their new residence is in the outer city, and they have to go through the Suzaku Gate to get out.Generally speaking, the city will be closed at night, and entry and exit are not allowed.

However, Zhao Gou was not worried about this, because Steward Wang and others had the right to enter and exit the city gate at any time, so they went out through the city gate blatantly.Even if the generals who guarded the city saw it, there was nothing they could do, because each of them had an imperial gold medal, which was the right given to them by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

"Let go!"

Steward Wang and the others all left. As for where they were going, the city guard general didn't ask much.Because this is not the scope of his jurisdiction, he has no right to ask.

After Zhao Gou and others left the Zhuque Gate, they crossed the Sili Bridge and did not exit the Dailou Gate. Instead, they walked southward for three miles directly on the Sili Bridge, and came to a place that was rarely seen.When Zhao Gou and others entered the new mansion, they were all stunned.

"Brother, how did you find this place?" Gong Cang stared at the pitch-black surroundings, and heard the sound of wind and running water. It must be a sparsely populated place.

Li Shien also nodded, and said in surprise: "Brother, can people really live here? Why does it look like a place for the elderly!"

Steward Wang said with a triumphant smile, "This is a place for the elderly!"

Zhao Gou asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?"

Steward Wang replied: "Young master, there are few people here, surrounded by mountains, and surrounded by green mountains and green waters, it is a rare treasure. Originally, the owner of this mansion was an official in the court, but later his family fell into decline. It was bought by merchants with money.”

"However, it is really inconvenient here. They were also suppressed by other forces soon after. After all, they are merchants, and the government is very shameless, so they gradually left the capital. It just so happens that the young master wants to find a quiet place, then I I happened to think of this place, so I came to have a look, and sure enough, I found it was still there, so I bought it, and even got the house deed and land deed.”

"You guys set off immediately, go to Dai Loumen, and then go out of the city!"

As for who lived there, Zhao Gou didn't want to ask any further questions, so he asked Steward Wang and others to leave immediately from Dailou Gate, in order to make everyone think that he had already left.Even after tracing, they had indeed left the city.Moreover, those carriages all left the city together.

This is the illusion given to everyone, and it will be fine to go back to the city with the people tomorrow and lead the horses.Zhao Gou, Wang Shishi, and the old lady began to clean the place again, spreading out some quilts and sheets.

After all, it was already this hour, and everyone was tired, so Zhao Gou asked them all to go down and rest.

The words were divided into two parts, and Gao Chong headed to Chu Palace swaggeringly after Zhao Gou left for an hour.When he knocked on the door, the butler of the Chu Palace came out to open the door, and saw that he was wearing a silver-white armor, so he knew that he was a soldier, but he was alone, and he didn't bring anyone with him. , he saw clearly that it was him, and quickly let him enter the mansion.

Since Gao Chong had followed Zhao Gou a few days ago, and Zhao Gou had visited Chu Palace several times, the housekeeper recognized him immediately.

"General Gao, why are you here late at night?"

"Housekeeper, I'm looking for your prince, but I wonder if he's in the house?"

"Wait a moment, general, I'm going to call the prince to come out!"

Gao Chong sat on a chair bored, quietly waiting for Zhao Yougong to come.A moment later, Zhao Yougong appeared in front of Gao Chong, and saw him in armor again, which made him very strange.Moreover, there was a burden next to Gao Chong, and he said in surprise: "Brother Gao came to the house late at night, he didn't come to catch up with me, did he?"

Gao Chong smiled and said: "I have come to join the prince, from now on I must be bothering the mansion!"

Zhao Yougong was stunned for a moment, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Are you kidding? Besides, you are not from Jiudi's side? Why did you come to my house for no reason and said you want to live here? Could it be that Jiudi treated you badly?" , or what's wrong? By the way, why didn't you see Lingtang?"

Gao Chong smiled wryly: "I don't know where they went, if it wasn't for the desperation, I don't want to disturb the peace of the prince!"

"What did you say?" Zhao Yougong was taken aback, and asked, "Where did what go?"

Gao Chong replied: "Now the young master, mother and others are no longer in the Prince's Mansion, and I don't know where they have gone. If it wasn't because they all left, I couldn't live in the Prince's Mansion alone! If so Unreasonable!"

Zhao Yougong said in shock: "Ninth brother, he...he left?"

"Back to the lord, that's exactly it!" Gao Chong sighed, and said in frustration: "The young master took my mother and others left the capital overnight, and I don't know where they went. If it wasn't for my identity as the assistant The general of the country is also a member of the court, and the young master said that it is inconvenient to take me, so he let me come and join the prince."

"The young master said that with the relationship between the prince and him, it is impossible to ignore it. If the prince refuses, or if you feel that I am bothering you, then you can find another place, and you can't live on the streets! Alas!... If it is not With this identity, I can leave together!"

Zhao Yougong didn't want to get entangled with Gao Chong, so he sat up abruptly and said in a deep voice, "When will Ninth Brother leave?"

"It's been an hour already!" Gao Chong quickly replied.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhao Yougong was a little annoyed and said angrily.

"Isn't it the same if I said it earlier?" Gao Chong asked in surprise, "Don't tell me you still want to go after him, my lord?"

"What are you talking about!" Zhao Yougong became angry from embarrassment, and didn't bother to talk to him, so he turned around and left the house.

"The young master really knows the king of Chu too well!" Gao Chong thought to himself, seeing Zhao Yougong rushing out, he rode straight away, as Zhao Gou's subordinate, he couldn't just sit idly by He could go with Zhao Yougong, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

Zhao Yougong rode on his horse and kept patting his horse's back until he reached Zhuque Gate. The guard was surprised when he saw that it was the King of Chu who came, and hurried down to the gate to greet him, "Your Majesty has seen His Highness the King of Chu!"

"My lord, let me ask you, have you seen a group of people going out from here before?" Zhao Yougong asked straight to the point.

The man quickly replied: "Returning to the prince, there was indeed a group of people who left the city before. They all held the exit tokens, which were bestowed by the emperor, and the lower officials could not stop them."

"The king knows these things, I just want to know where they are going?" Zhao Yougong looked at the man impatiently, he really didn't want to listen to the nonsense, and asked Zhao Gou and others directly direction of departure.

Seeing Zhao Yougong's angry face, the man quickly told him the location.

Zhao Yougong directly ordered him to open the city gate, and then went directly out of Zhuque Gate to continue searching until he reached Dailou Gate, and heard the same answer again, this time Zhao Yougong did not continue to pursue.It's not that he doesn't want to chase, but that he doesn't know where he went.

As long as you leave Bianjing City, the sky and the earth are so big, how to find it.Moreover, they are not ignorant of Zhao Gou's ability, and with the help of Wang Steward and others, it is not difficult at all to eliminate the traces of travel.That would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Zhao Yougong believed that even if the imperial list was posted, Zhao Gou would not be found. As long as he really wanted to hide, no one would be able to find Zhao Gou.

Zhao Yougong was very annoyed, he was really angry, finally sighed helplessly, and then went back to the city together with Gao Chong.As for the convenience of Zhao Gou and others leaving the city, it is not the responsibility of these guards. They are also following orders. If Wang Steward and others hadn't shown the arrow of the imperial order, they would not have risked their lives to let them go.

In the end, Zhao Yougong agreed to let Gao Chong live in his house.

At this moment, Zhao Yougong did not return to the residence immediately, he entered the palace with Gao Chong.Because Zhao Gou left quietly, this matter is unusual, and it is impossible to find Zhao Gou, the only way to let the emperor know.

"Qizou the emperor, the ninth brother is gone!" Zhao Yougong and Gao Chong bowed and shouted, and then Zhao Yougong was very depressed. Whenever he remembered that Zhao Gou was no longer in the capital, his heart trembled suddenly, and he felt very regretful. If it hadn't been for him for a long time I have never been there, and it is unlikely that such a thing will happen.

Song Huizong was very happy. After hearing the news reported by Zhao Yougong, his smile froze, and the flaws in his hand came out, and he said tremblingly, "What did you just say?"

"The ninth brother is gone!"

Zhao Yougong said it again, his tone became more serious, he hated himself even more in his heart, and he also blamed the emperor and his father, if it wasn't for them, how could Zhao Gou leave the capital and just disappear.Now that things have happened, even blaming is useless.

"How could he disappear? A good living person, you said he disappeared, how is this possible?" Song Huizong's stiff smile seemed very reluctant. He really did not expect such a result, which was really unexpected. Besides, it made his heart skip a beat.

"I've already gone to see it, the ninth brother has already left!" Zhao Yougong told about his pursuit of Zhao Gou and his party, and also went to the former county prince's mansion, which was already empty and lost its former style. , which made him really believe that Zhao Gou had left.

Song Huizong's face was ashen, and he said in a deep voice: "Didn't I let you pass on the decree? Didn't you pass on my decree?"

Gao Chong hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the emperor, I have conveyed the emperor's will, but the young master has made up his mind, and I have persuaded it before, but it has no effect. In addition, the young master also said that if you want to let go, you have to let go." Thoroughly, he is already a commoner, so he shouldn't live there, he has to find another place."

"Did he forget that he is still my son? What a bastard!" Song Huizong cursed angrily. He was shocked when he heard that Zhao Gou had disappeared, and he was even more furious when he saw Gao Chong say so.

"You know he's leaving?"

"Wei Chen knows!"

"Since you know why you didn't stop him? Even if you can't stop him, can't you report it to me? Even if you can't see me, you can still report the news to the king of Chu. How can you let him go!" Song Huizong asked Looking at Gao Chong carefully, anger could erupt at any time.

Gao Chong smiled wryly: "Returning to the emperor, the king of Chu knows the young master's abilities best, and the humble minister is not an opponent. Even if he knows, there is nothing he can do!"

Song Huizong was taken aback for a moment, and most of his anger disappeared.What Gao Chong said is not unreasonable, Zhao Gou really wants to leave, it is impossible not to hold back.Besides, Gao Chong was not Zhao Gou's opponent, he was still under his command, so how could he really resist to the end, but Zhao Gou left, the news really caught him off guard like a bolt from the blue.

Even though Song Huizong thought about several kinds of results, he never expected this result, and it was also the most unacceptable result for him.Song Huizong recalled many things about Zhao Gou. He was worried that Zhao Gou would really be gone forever, so he secretly blamed himself: "Did I make a mistake?"

If Zhao Gou really never returned and let go of him, then Song Huizong would be a sinner through the ages.No matter in history or now, they are fatuous and incompetent monarchs. The most important thing is to force away meritorious ministers. Even Song Huizong couldn't bear such infamy. That man is still his own son. As a father, as an emperor, How does he explain to the people of the world.
