The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 59 Undercurrent surges, all parties deploy

After Zhao Gou arranged everything, he asked everyone to go back and rest.The next day, after Zhao Gou finished all the morning exercises, he got up again and went to the Privy Council.This time, everyone got up at the same time as Zhao Gou and did morning exercises with Zhao Gou.It's just that their injuries have not recovered and they cannot practice against Zhao Gou.Before Zhao Gou left, he left his thousands of taels of silver bills and handed them over to Shen Liang and Zhao Zhen, and then left.

There is no need for an early court today, so there is no need to see Song Huizong, so Zhao Gou went to the Privy Council immediately to check whether everyone was on duty.When Zhao Gou entered the gate of the Privy Council, someone had already arrived.Then, everyone arrived one after another, and no one was ever late.

For the next ten days or so, Zhao Gou was familiar with all the matters, even the procedures of the [-]th house needed to be understood clearly.Since Zhao Gou issued the order, officials in the Privy Council, regardless of their official positions, have been on duty on time and have never been absent.Everyone is not as sloppy as before, they deal with the things in hand seriously, and everything needs to be done carefully.It's just because Zhao Gou will randomly check the affairs handled by several officials when they are finished. If they find that they have passed the customs and have not reviewed carefully, Zhao Gou will deduct their salary.

Zhao Gou's position in the Privy Council became more stable, and everyone admired him more and more.Rewards and punishments are clear, regardless of whether he is high or low, even if he has made a mistake, he will be treated equally.Everyone was convinced, no longer thinking that Zhao Gou was just a 12-year-old boy, but a real boss, and they unanimously agreed with his orders.

In the court, Zhao Gou was isolated and helpless from the beginning, and Gao Qiu and others launched successive attacks, but he quietly resolved them.After Wang Li's incident, Zhao Gou acted more calmly, no longer impetuous, and eager for quick success.In the end, the ministers of the Privy Council attached themselves to Zhao Gou one after another. If someone impeached him, not only would he not make trouble, but he would also stand on the same line with Zhao Gou.

Song Huizong saw that Zhao Gou won people's hearts and everyone supported him, and he was very happy from the bottom of his heart.He knew that the Privy Council became his sphere of influence. After Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty came to listen to the government, the ministers of the court also adapted.

Some people are happy and some are worried!
"This county king, the old man really underestimated him. In just a few dozen days, he took the people of the Privy Council under his banner. He didn't dare to violate the slightest, as if he was covering the sky with one hand. Whether it's our people, the people who acted as the king, or even It is impossible for the officials of the other two factions to obtain any news from the Privy Council, and they are very strict."

Gao Qiu's face was gloomy, thinking of the Privy Council officials who had been attached to his sect a few days ago, but they rejected them one by one, and no longer had any contact with him.During this period, Dai Wang Zhao Heng also sent someone to invite him, but they returned without success.Even officials from the reformist faction and the old-fashioned faction in the DPRK and China could not get into the Privy Council. They couldn't help being a little angry and said angrily: "I think back then, if it wasn't for Taiwei Ben, how could they have been able to enter the Privy Council as officials. I never thought of changing one." Master, forgetting the old kindness is really hateful."

"Don't get angry, Taiwei!" A man calmly laughed in a low voice, "At the beginning, we didn't dare to touch him, because the person standing behind him was the current Holy Majesty. After the observation of the subordinate officials, the Holy Majesty just opened his eyes. Close one eye, want to coordinate the strength of the two sides. Now, Guangping County King seems to completely control the Privy Council, so the division of power in the court is close at hand."

"If the lower official's guess is correct, the emperor is sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, not really intending to protect the county king. Maybe the county king is only 12 years old, and he is still a boy. It is reasonable for the father, the emperor, to take care of him. Then It depends on how we act, if we want to attack the county king, it seems impossible to start from the Privy Council, how about we start with this martial arts exam?"

Gao Qiu asked, "Martial arts exam?"

"That's right!" the man smiled sinisterly, "Master Taiwei, have you forgotten who the chief examiners of the martial arts exam are? Even if the county king is the official chief examiner, there are three of them together. As long as we Take action, let the martial arts exam have unexpected results, or some mistakes, when the time comes, the king of Guangping County will be severely punished by the emperor as the chief examiner."

"The military examination is one of the two major events in the current dynasty. It is comparable to the imperial examination. If there is a problem, and then there are officials impeaching it, even if the emperor favors the county king, it will not help. It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court. Wouldn't it be quick to attack? In addition, Dai Wang's side must be the first to attack. Now that the county king's position in the court is more stable, it will be more unfavorable to Dai Wang. It’s a matter of course.”

"That's good, let's do it!" Gao Li applauded, and smiled viciously: "Ben Taiwei doesn't believe that the three of them can't fight against a young man. If they can't even win a child, then there is no need to stay." They are by my side, let them stay away from the court, so as not to affect me in the future."

Therefore, Gao Qiu followed the man's suggestion, and wrote a letter to Zhang Bangchang, Wang Duo, and Zhang Jun with his own handwriting, and also sent 1 taels of silver notes as a small gift.The three of them saw Gao Taiwei personally ordered them to send silver taels. How could they miss this opportunity for nothing? In addition, they were already prepared to be the chief examiners this time. With one kick, their dreams were shattered, and their teeth were itching with hatred in their hearts, and they hit it off immediately, and agreed without hesitation.

The words were divided into two parts, and Zhao Huan, the acting king, was also restless. Zhao Gou's position became more stable, and he became more nervous and worried.From the beginning to the end, he thought that he was the best candidate for the crown prince. He didn't expect his ninth brother to appear. He not only showed extraordinary abilities, but also was versatile in both civil and military affairs. He was deeply loved by Song Huizong, which made him, the eldest son of the emperor, a little nervous.

"Qiantui, are you worried that the king of Guangping County will be threatened?" The attendant asked in a low voice, Zhao Huan nodded with a sigh, and said with a grin: "Qiantui, it's better for the villain to go and assassinate him. There will be no threat to Chitose, and the country will still be yours at that time."

"Stupid!" Zhao Huan scolded in a low voice, "My younger brother is not an easy-going lamp. He dared to be disrespectful and dismiss the deputy envoy of the Privy Council on the first day he took office. He is a second-rank official. Even if he is really guilty, he must Royal father made up his mind, never thought that royal father would keep silent about this, no matter whether someone asked about it, even if someone mentioned this matter, royal father would not care."

"The deputy envoy of the Privy Council died in the sky prison. The emperor didn't care about such important matters, and he ignored them. Instead, he praised Lao Jiu's way of handling things, which shows that the emperor loves him. If the king guessed correctly In other words, Wang Fushi's deceased father, the emperor, already knew who did it, and he has been reluctant to mention this matter, and he deliberately shielded him. Which of the ministers in the court is not a human being, they all know that this matter is intentionally shielding, even Gao Qiu Everyone didn't make any moves, and knowing that Vice Envoy Wang has a lot to do with him, so he kept silent, then there is a big problem."

"Lao Jiu's resourcefulness is not weaker than that of any minister in the court. He beat the Deputy Envoy Wang on the first day. The guards guarding the gate felt that he was not his opponent. Do you think you are his opponent? If Lao Jiu finds out that you belong to this king, it won’t be an offense; if your father finds out, it will be brotherhood, and your father will definitely punish you severely when the time comes, so you can’t take the risk.”

That person thinks about it too, Zhao Gou's martial arts are just showing the tip of the iceberg.However, even the guards admired his actions that day, which shows that Zhao Gou's martial arts are very high.Although they didn't know where Zhao Gou learned his martial arts, the fact that Zhao Gou possesses advanced martial arts cannot be ignored, so they could only retreat angrily.

"Report to Chitose, King Xiaoliang came to pay a visit. I wonder if Chitose will receive him?"

Just when Zhao Huan was at a loss and frowned, a servant came to report and whispered: "King Xiaoliang, what is he doing in this palace?"

Zhao Huan was prepared not to meet him. The Great Song Dynasty was taken from the Chai family of Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin promised that the Chai family would be hereditary king. Therefore, King Liang was the title of the Chai family of the Later Zhou Emperor. He has always had some grudges against Liang Wang's lineage, worried that they will make a comeback, so he is also on guard against them, lest they take the opportunity to wait for the opportunity to move.However, on the bright side, the Zhao family will be polite to the Chai family, and will not really tear their skins apart.

Suddenly, Zhao Huan remembered something, held back his refusal, and thought triumphantly, "Perhaps, this person is still useful."

Therefore, Zhao Huan agreed to meet with King Xiaoliang who came from afar.

At the same time, Zhao Gou was also called into the palace by Song Huizong and asked about the arrangements for the next martial arts exam.Zhao Gou replied one by one, everything is ready, as long as Song Huizong orders, it can be executed immediately.Zhao Ji was relieved when he heard everything Zhao Gou had arranged. After the two chatted for a while, he told Zhao Gou to leave and prepare for the martial arts exam three days later.

Zhao Gou said goodbye and left, but he didn't know that the martial arts examination had already been "a chance to flex its muscles" by various forces, and they wanted to take this opportunity to overthrow Zhao Gou and ruin his reputation.Although Zhao Gou didn't know what kind of accident it was, he also knew that something would happen in this martial arts exam, so he murmured calmly; "What should come will come, let me wait and see! Don't let me down That's good!..."
