The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 595 Lead the snake out of the hole
"His Royal Highness, there is a gentleman outside the residence who wants to see him!"

"Sir, do you want to visit me?" Crown Prince Zhao Huan sneered when he heard the servant's report, "I have neither fame nor fame, what's the use of seeing me? What I want to use are those real celebrities, mere gentlemen, that's all. Send them away directly, and if such a person comes again in the future, just send them away."

Even though Zhao Huanhu is in Pingyang and has no power in his hands, he has his own dignity and arrogance, so he definitely won't let everyone see him.If someone from a famous family came, he would definitely greet him in person, but now the people who came were just nameless people, Zhao Huan would never see him at all, if he did, it would be a waste of value.

"The man was sent away?"

"Go back to His Royal Highness, no!"

"No?" Zhao Huan yelled sharply, "I can't handle such a trivial matter even if I ask you to do it, so what's the use of keeping you!"

"Your Highness, calm down!" Seeing that the prince was furious, he didn't dare to stand still. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Prince, the man asked the villain to bring a note to His Highness, saying that His Highness will see him when he sees it, please. Your Highness, spare the villain!"

"Nothing!" Zhao Huan roared angrily, and heard him say that the man had a note, and he also wanted to see what kind of abilities that person had, and he could meet him with just a note, so he Let the servants present the note up.

When Zhao Huan saw the note, he was stunned for a moment, put the note away again, and ordered his servants to invite the man into the mansion for a while.

Seeing that Zhao Huan immediately changed his attitude, the servant let him secretly breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, he took advantage of others and almost lost his job and even his own life.Now that the smoke cleared, he hurriedly got up and invited that gentleman into the mansion.

"Sir, you almost killed me!"

"Could it be that you have offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? It's just that this incident has passed, and you will not be punished in any way, and there may even be rewards afterwards."

The servant and the gentleman were talking while walking, originally wanted to extort some benefits, but was ignored by the gentleman, and he was not angry.If this person is really valued by the prince, then he has to curry favor with him. If this benefit offends the distinguished guest in front of him, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"Caomin has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Zhao Huan raised his toes and asked loudly, "What do you mean by writing on it?"

"Of course it makes sense!" The gentleman replied calmly, "I wonder if His Royal Highness accepts this gift?"

"You are really brave. You must know that assassinating the current prince is a capital offense!" Zhao Huan looked at the gentleman expressionlessly, and seeing that he didn't look flustered at all, he couldn't help admiring him, because the note said It was a sentence: "I am the one who assassinated King Yan!"

"Aren't you afraid that this palace will report this matter to the emperor?"

"His Royal Highness does not dare to do so, nor will he do so!" The gentleman calmly smiled lightly, and then said: "If His Royal Highness really does this, how can I meet with you? Since His Highness did not play, and even I am receiving you, which means that His Royal Highness also agrees with what Caomin has done."

"Huh!" Zhao Huan snorted coldly, but didn't speak, because what the gentleman said was exactly what he thought in his heart.

"Today, the grass people came to pay a visit to the crown prince, just to help the crown prince ascend the throne. I wonder if His Royal Highness would dare to cooperate with you?" Now that his goal has been achieved, and he has entered the prince's mansion, he will no longer hide his intentions. , Straight to the point and say it.

"Why do you?" Zhao Huan said succinctly, looking at him intently.

"As long as I have enough money and a huge network of contacts, as long as the prince is willing, I can re-establish a strong strength for you, so that you can inherit the throne with peace of mind." The gentleman said confidently, "money can pass through the gods." , As long as you have enough money, you can win people's hearts, and you can even install eyeliner in the palace, always pay attention to the movement, and you can find the slightest trouble."

What Zhao Huan lacked the most was money and connections. These were exactly what he needed most, and they were also his weakness.If there are these two things, then he can do great things freely, and he can compete with Zhao Gou, and even the throne can be obtained at his fingertips, which is a matter of course.

Zhao Huan had no choice but to seriously examine the gentleman in front of him. He saw that he was about forty years old, with delicate features and a bit of heroism in his brows. The light in his eyes made him not to be underestimated.

So, Zhao Huan ordered his servants to serve tea, and personally invited him to sit down and drink tea, and served cakes.It can be said that the status is different all of a sudden.

"Dare to ask Mr.'s name!"

"Dharma name Cizhao!" The gentleman said with a smile.

"It seems that the real person is only over forty years old, how can he have such power?"

"His Royal Highness, the award, I will be [-] in a few years!"

"I really can't see it!"

Zhao Huan was shocked, there was no trace of age at all on the surface, at first glance he was only around forty, how could he be sixty, and he didn't know how this man kept his appearance, which made Zhao Huan even more convinced of Ci Zhao The ability of a real person.

"Your Majesty forgot to tell His Highness one thing, King Yan may be fine!"

Zhao Huan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's nothing serious? Why is there so much trouble about this matter?"

"It should be the method used by the King of Yan!" After thinking about it, Master Cizhao also felt that this matter was a bit strange, and only this argument could make sense.

If he was a member of the imperial court, if he knew that Qinglong Envoy was the connector, he would definitely not let him enter the palace, and just arrest him one by one.Since the Azure Dragon Envoy still completed what he ordered, that person did not take any action, that is, he wanted to find out who was behind the scenes. Only the person involved wanted to know who it was, so he stood still and observed everything secretly.

Therefore, the real person Ci Zhao suspected that Zhao Gou had nothing to do, and the news was just a trick to bluff people and lure snakes out of their holes.Moreover, since then, all members of the League of Assassins have disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of them at all.

At the same time, Zhao Gou in Youdu Mansion also received information from Yan Qing, which clearly stated that the contact person was an eunuch, and he saw that person entering the palace through the back door and disappeared.After Zhao Gou saw it, his brows were furrowed, he couldn't figure out who this person was.

"Could it be the queen, or someone else in the palace?" Zhao Gou muttered to himself, and said, "If it's the queen, it doesn't make sense. I don't have any enmity with her, let alone she can't give out so much silver. Who is doing it?" Operate all this behind the scenes?"

Now someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes in order to force him to submit, that is to say, someone wants his own life.Originally, Zhao Gou withdrew all his forces from the capital and retreated to the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.Thinking about it now, I decided to keep some forces there to investigate the movement in the capital, maybe there will be some clues.
