The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 592
"Senior brother, please announce to the public after you go back that I was seriously injured and unconscious!" Zhao Gou no longer entangled with Yue Fei about Hanyuejian, and directly ordered him another matter.

Yue Fei looked at Zhao Gou in confusion, and said, "Could it be that you were injured?"

"no!"

"Why?" Yue Fei was taken aback. Although he was not injured, he said that he was seriously injured and unconscious. This made him very strange, and he didn't know what Zhao Gou planned.

"Because this is something that has been agreed a long time ago!" Zhao Gou smiled slightly, and Yue Fei had no choice but to obey orders.

So, after Zhao Gou and his group entered the boundary of Youzhou, all the people panicked and hurried towards Youdu Mansion, especially Yue Fei and others galloped on horses, looking for doctors everywhere to come to diagnose.The news that the newly appointed King Yan was assassinated and seriously injured on the way spread like wildfire. The whole city of Youzhou and even other prefectures have strictly checked pedestrians, and people are in a panic.

At the same time, all the officials and the emperor in the capital thousands of miles away heard the news.

"What, King Yan was assassinated?" Song Huizong was furious, and said sharply: "I will pass on my will and order the Ministry of Punishments, the Ministry of Households, and the Privy Council to jointly investigate this matter thoroughly. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, everyone involved will be demoted and punished." Salary for half a year."

"Observe the decree!" The eunuch immediately went down to deliver the decree, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"How could Gou'er be seriously injured by an assassin?" Song Huizong couldn't understand it. With Zhao Gou's martial arts, it was impossible to succeed. Even if the assassin's martial arts were high, there was no way. Everyone in the sixteen prefectures of Yun knew it, and it was passed into the ears of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

"The ninth brother was assassinated and seriously injured? This is impossible!" When Zhao Yougong heard the news, his first reaction was that it was impossible. His thoughts were exactly the same as those of Song Huizong. He could retreat safely among thousands of troops, even if he encountered an assassin, he would not be so seriously injured and dying, he simply didn't believe it.

In the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace, Prince Zhao Huan was in the study, and his servants came to report that he was not emotional, as usual, and then let him go down.He and Zhao Gou were already in the same situation, wishing that Zhao Gou would die early and lose a competitor.

Even though Zhao Gou was far away from the capital, in Youzhou, thousands of miles away, Zhao Huan was still worried and wished he could die immediately.If Zhao Gou really died, the other princes in the court would not be his opponents at all, Zhao Huan thought so: "It would be great if I died!..."

The news of Zhao Gou's assassination quickly spread throughout the entire capital. For the common people, these things are irrelevant and have nothing to do with them; those who closely followed Zhao Gou's movements were greatly shocked, secretly delighted, and also surprised. This also sparked intense debate in the early court.

"The king of Yan was assassinated and was seriously injured and dying. You must have heard the news!" Song Huizong was furious, and said: "Since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there has never been anyone who dared to assassinate an official of the court, let alone a prince in the court. , this is an unprecedented event, and it must be strictly investigated and punished.”

"Throughout the past dynasties, assassins and chivalrous men abound, and they do not obey the orders of the court. Nowadays, the assassins in Jianghu are so bold that they dare to openly assassinate the prince of the current dynasty and my prince. Pass."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, can you trace who did it?"

Wang Yun bowed and replied: "Report to the emperor, I haven't found out yet!"

"Privy Council, can you track down the culprit behind the scenes?"

Zhao Yougong bowed and replied: "Report to the emperor, the minister has not yet traced it!"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, have you tracked it down?"

"Back to the emperor, no!"

……

After Song Huizong questioned several people, all of them answered two words 'no'.Immediately, Song Huizong Longyan was furious, and roared: "No! No!... What use do I want you for? No one in the world can track it down. You are holding the imperial salary but doing nothing. What use is it for me to keep you! "

"The emperor calm down, the dragon body is the most important thing!"

Seeing that Song Huizong Longyan was furious, everyone knelt down on the ground.

"The dragon's body is the most important thing!" Song Huizong snorted and roared: "I gave you high officials and rich salary, not to make you do nothing. Could it be that after King Yan left, no one in the court could share my worries? King Yan When the front foot reaches the boundary of Youzhou, someone assassinates the rear foot, it must be organized."

"According to my decree, the king of Yan was assassinated and seriously injured and dying. The Beijing Central Tai Hospital immediately dispatched an imperial doctor to make a diagnosis and treatment. He traveled day and night. If the king of Yan made any mistakes, he would not have to return to Beijing. He should apologise. The Ministry, the Privy Council and other departments have all put down everything in their hands. Unless it is a very urgent matter, they will focus on tracking down the culprit this time. They must give me a satisfactory answer within ten days. If there is no answer after ten days, you don’t have to stay in the court The hall is up, and all of them will be sent to the army for a thousand miles."

"The minister leads the order!"

Zhao Yougong and the others gave a wry smile. It is really difficult to track down the culprit within ten days. You must know that this incident happened in Youzhou, not in the capital.Even if it is given another month, there may not be any results. Everyone knows it well, but there is nothing they can do.

"Retreat!"

Song Huizong got up impatiently and left, and everyone had to send them off respectfully, and then they all left.Zhao Yougong, Wang Yun and the others all had mournful faces. It was really unbearable for this matter to fall on their heads.Everyone knows that companionship is like companionship with a tiger.

After this incident, everyone could see clearly that even though King Yan was really not favored, he was still a prince.Now the prince was assassinated, seriously injured and dying, and he was looking for famous doctors. If this happened in the Song Dynasty, it would be a naked slap in the face of Song Huizong.

All the court officials left in silence, only Zhao Yougong knew that the emperor was concerned about Zhao Gou, because Zhao Gou was injured and dying, which was related to the later matters.If there is really any eventuality, I am afraid that Song Huizong will regret it, and at that time he and others will really be dispatched to the army.

Zhao Gou didn't know that the news that he was seriously injured by the assassination gradually turned into dying, and he didn't know that because of his injury, there was a lot of trouble in the capital, and even the Jianghu sect was attacked by the court.As for the person concerned, he lay leisurely on his own bed. His understanding of the veins was not weaker than that of the doctor, and his internal energy changed at will, making the people who took the pulse shake their heads and sigh, saying that they were powerless. The shocking waves caused panic among the people in Youzhou, and they dared not go out of the city casually even during the day.

"This drama has reached its climax, and the next stage is the end!"

Zhao Gou counted the time, these days he is not feeling well, lying in bed all day and pretending to be seriously injured, it is really uncomfortable.It's just that in order to track down the culprit behind the scenes, they can only hold back temporarily.Because this was negotiated with the assassin leader, as long as he got the news that he was seriously injured and dying, his mission would be completed. In this way, he could gain the trust of that person, or he might be silenced.

Therefore, Zhao Gou specially instructed the leader of the assassins, and secretly sent out a letter to ask people to assist him, so that he could find out who had the courage to pay for the murder in one go.
