And these changes in their eyes were not unexpected by Zhao Dongting.

Looking at the suspicious eyes of these people in front of him, he could only sigh in his heart. People's hearts are like this, no matter who they are, they will probably think that it was his Zhao Dongting's hand.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk and said, "I didn't do it. โ€

Wen Tianxiang and the others did not answer.

At this time, silence is undoubtedly the best option for them.

Zhao Dongting didn't seem to intend to wait for them to speak, and said, "I have already sent the king to Xinyang City to investigate, and there will always be a day when this matter will come to light." I didn't expect you to believe in me like this, but all of you are the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am worried that you will see me like this......"

There was a deep sincerity in his eyes, "I only hope that you will give me some time to not make any decisions out of dissatisfaction until the king returns from the decree." Just two days ago, Vice Minister Chen Wenlong had already proposed to me to return to his hometown, if you follow suit, we will be ...... Development will stagnate......"

Zhao Dongting was able to say this, which can be said to be really heartfelt.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, except for the mentally handicapped emperor Zhao Yu, who was played with by the traitor Jia Nidao, who begged Jia Nidao in such a low profile, I am afraid that there is no emperor who has begged his courtiers like this.

Zhao Dongting actually didn't need to be like this.

With his current prestige in the court, even if Zhao Xianzhen killed him, this Great Song Dynasty court will never collapse because of this.

He really didn't want to have a gap with these old ministers. watched these old ministers ask to return to their hometowns one by one.

They all came out of Lin'an at the beginning, and they have paid too much for the Great Song Dynasty over the years. Saying goodbye to old age is not the ending they should have.

Hearing this, Wen Tianxiang and the others were all moved.

They were still convinced of Zhao Dongting, although they did not believe that Zhao Xianzhen was not killed by Zhao Dongting. But to give Wang Wenfu time, he is willing.

Moreover, all of them still have the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts.

As long as they are not completely disappointed in Zhao Dongting, even if Zhao Dongting doesn't say so, they are afraid that they will not follow Chen Wenlong's example to tell the old.

Lu Xiufu did not have.

Chen Wenlong told the old man because he used to have a close relationship with the Empress Dowager Xie and others. At that time, the status was even higher than that of Lu Hideo and others.

He was venting his frustration.

After a short silence, Zhang Jue took the lead in kneeling on the ground, "Minister Zhang Jue, obey the order." โ€

He didn't have a good impression of Zhao Xian and the others, and besides, Zhang Ru's grandfather, the current royal family, it was normal for him to have such a move.

Even if he was truly sure that Zhao Xian was killed by Zhao Dongting, he was afraid that he would still choose to support Zhao Dongting.

Immediately after, Huang Hua, Liu Hongyi, He Dongqiang and others also knelt on the ground.

Liu Hongyi received great favor from Zhao Dongting, but Zhao Dongting was a diehard loyalist, while Huang Hua and He Dongqiang were born in the righteous army, and they didn't care so much about Zhao Xian's death.

In the end, Zhao Youluo, Dong Zhen, Wang Yinglin and others also knelt down.

They may not have a deep relationship with Empress Dowager Xie and others.

Only Wen Tianxiang was still in a trance.

He has been loyal to the Great Song Dynasty for decades, which means that he cares more about Zhao Xian's death.

The Great Song Dynasty was raised in the hands of Zhao Dongting, but if he killed Zhao Xian. Wen Tianxiang is afraid that he will make the same choice as Chen Wenlong in the end.

Zhao Dongting's eyes fell on Wen Tianxiang's body, and he couldn't help sighing, "Isn't the military commander even willing to give me this little time?" โ€

Among these people, the one who worries him the most and worries him the most is Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang is the head of the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty and the commander who controls the Fujian Military Region. Any of his actions will have a great impact on the Great Song Dynasty army and Sheji.

His reputation among the people is far from being comparable to Dong Zhen, Huang Hua and others.

It can even be said that if Wen Tianxiang dies for old age, not only the Fujian Military Region may cause chaos, but also the people, and there will also be voices condemning Zhao Dongting.

Fortunately, after Wen Tianxiang felt Zhao Dongting's gaze, he slowly raised his head, and finally knelt down: "Minister Wen Tianxiang leads the order." โ€

Zhao Dongting finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as these people are not chaotic, then no matter how chaotic the Great Song Dynasty is, it will not be chaotic.

As for Yue Peng and Su Quandang, who have not yet arrived in Changsha, he is not worried. These two most famous young generals of the Great Song Dynasty must be devoted to him.

Su Quandang didn't say anything, just talked about Yue Peng. With Yue Peng's belief in Zhao Dongting, even if Zhao Dongting asked him to kill Zhao Xian, he would never hesitate.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand to get everyone up.

Then, his expression became a little solemn again, "And in addition to this matter, I have another thing I want to explain to you. โ€

He looked out the window, "The recent turmoil in the rivers and lakes of Tanzhou is very likely to have a great relationship with the Bauhinia Villa, the holy land of martial arts, and Emperor Gong was assassinated again, I suspect that someone is plotting behind it, and its purpose is to hinder the development of my Great Song Dynasty, and even want to cause civil strife in my Great Song Dynasty." You and all of you can still trust me as a person, but there are countless civil and military officials in my Great Song Dynasty, and when the Empress Dowager and others return to the court, the assassination of Emperor Gong spreads, and it is difficult for me to predict what choice they will make. Duan Qilin has just been proclaimed emperor in Dali, Zhao Yu is in Shuzhong, and the Yuan Dynasty seems to have close contacts with their base camp in the past two years, so it is difficult to say whether they will take this opportunity to send troops to the Great Song Dynasty. โ€

Zhao Dongting turned his head, and his eyes fell on everyone's faces again, "I, I want you to prepare for a big battle." โ€

Wen Tianxiang and others were moved again.

They obviously hadn't thought so far before. They don't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes in Tanzhou, Zhao Xian was assassinated, and they only focused on Zhao Dongting, and they were afraid that they didn't think much about Dali and the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, hearing Zhao Dongting say this, there was undoubtedly a feeling of mentioning it in his heart.

Zhang Jue said in a deep voice: "The emperor can rest assured, after the ministers return to Jingzhou, they will immediately start to prepare." โ€

Wen Tianxiang and the others also nodded closely.

Compared with Zhao Xian's matter, this may be undoubtedly more important in the upcoming war.

Zhao Dongting said again: "Don't make a big show, everything is going on quietly." โ€

There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "If Dali and the Yuan Dynasty dare to invade our borders, what we have to do is not only to repel them, but to beat them painfully." โ€

After two and a half years of peace with the Yuan Dynasty, although the current Great Song Dynasty is still in the midst of rapid development, the accumulated national strength has been able to barely support the war.

Although Zhao Dongting originally wanted to seek stability and take every step of the way, if the Yuan Dynasty and Dali dared to start a big war first, he was not afraid to start a war.

On this day, in the imperial study, Zhao Dongting, Wen Tianxiang and others discussed for a long time, and Wen Tianxiang and others left.

After a short time, they went straight back to their respective territories.

After all, no one knows whether the Yuan Dynasty or Dali are already preparing for a big war. If you really wait until the Great Song Dynasty is in turmoil to prepare, it is likely to make the Great Song Dynasty fall into passivity.

In the evening, Zhao Dongting set up a small banquet to entertain Li Xiushu. Helian City was also invited to take a seat.

was eating and drinking, but there was a eunuch outside the hall to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Xuan asks to see you." โ€

This made Zhao Dongting not even care about the banquet, nodded apologetically in Li Xiushu's slightly puzzled eyes, and immediately walked out of the main hall.

Xuanxue was already waiting outside the hall.

Zhao Dongting took her to a distance of about a few tens of meters from the main hall and asked, "Do you already know the whereabouts of those people?" โ€

Xuan Xue nodded, "They are in Yiyang County at this time. โ€

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then it seems that they are really from Bauhinia Villa." โ€

Yiyang was in the middle of Changde and Changsha, and there was no reason why he couldn't wonder if these people had learned that Bauhinia Villa was besieged on the way back to Bauhinia Villa, so they stayed in Yiyang.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting did not hesitate any longer, and said to Xuan Xue: "You immediately go to Wuding Hall to spread my message, and let the empty worship lead people to arrest all these people." โ€

Xuan Xue was slightly moved, "The emperor wants to send an empty offering?" โ€

Zhao Dongting said: "Those people are all strong, and only when they make empty offerings can they be 100% sure." โ€

Right now, Hong Wutian and Madame Xu followed Wang Wenfu to Xinyang City, and no one in the entire Wuding Hall could be sure that they were the opponents of those assassins, except for the empty eternals.

Xuan Xue heard Zhao Dongting say this, so she didn't say anything more, and hurriedly walked towards Wuding Hall.

It wasn't long before Kong Qiangu left the palace with several old people from the original Yanyu Hall. Several people dressed in black robes, under the guidance of the spies of the Military Intelligence Department, drove their horses straight to Yiyang.
