The key problem is that Cao Yu can't think of a reason why Zhao Zhi didn't vote for him.

once took the initiative to worship under the door of Prime Minister Wang Yanqing, but was unceremoniously rejected by Prime Minister Wang Yanqing.

But it was originally what happened in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, but it can be said that there were only Bao Zheng, Wang Dynasty, and Ma Han who were present at that time, and it was impossible to spread the matter, but it was still spread.

What do literati care about most? But it's face!

The Western Xia repeatedly sent troops to invade the Great Song Dynasty, it was precisely because a literati of the Great Song Dynasty failed to try in the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, so he thought that it was difficult for him to display his talents, and as a result, he rebelled against the Song Dynasty and joined the Western Xia, and now he has become the military advisor and minister of the Western Xia.

Every time the Western Xia marched into the army and killed, burned and looted the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it was because of the literati's prodding, really surnamed Zhang Mingyuan, just because he failed to pass the Jinshi exam, he killed countless people in the Great Song Dynasty.

So with Zhao Zhizhi's talent, may he not care about face? Therefore, it is almost impossible to vote for Prime Minister Wang Yanying again.

And what can the little emperor and the queen mother give Zhao Zhi? Except for an imperial city division, he obviously can't give anything, but he can let him become a concubine and become the prime minister of the new Great Song Dynasty.

So Zhao Zhi, who once took the initiative to vote for Wang Yanqi and was rejected, what reason does he have not to vote for himself? What reason do you have to regret it?

So after discussing it with his two sons, Cao couldn't help but settle down when he used the concerns he originally had in his heart.

……

Still listening to the rain building.

First, because the street is good, the front door is open enough, and it is also more convenient to enter the palace, almost close to the Bianjing City Palace, and all the way along the way has been under the control of the Imperial City Division.

Not long after Cao Yong left, Wang Yanyi entered through the side door in casual clothes, and the key question is that Tingyu Building is still a restaurant, so naturally everyone can enter.

The privy envoy Cao took advantage of the elegant room he had just left.

Prime Minister Wang Yanqing has a pit on his face, as if he had a lot of pimples on his face when he was young, and he usually doesn't smile.

Finally seeing Zhao Zhi alone again, Wang Yanqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and saluted first: "Zhao Gongzi, I apologized for my contempt for you at the beginning." ”

The ruler of the Great Song Dynasty apologized to himself.

Zhao Zhi couldn't help but smile and salute back: "Lord Wang doesn't need to be polite, but I, Zhao Zhi, am not a stingy person." I don't hide it from Lord Wang, but here I just entertained Lord Cao, the privy envoy, and I think Lord Wang already knows. You may be seated, Lord Wang. ”

After all, it was not close to Bao Zheng, but the old man was rejected by Bao Zheng twice.

So when I heard it, I couldn't help but get straight to the point: "I heard that Zhao Gongzi wants to do a business with Benxiang, I don't know what business Zhao Gongzi wants to do with Benxiang?" ”

Zhao Zhi also smiled directly: "Carry it in." ”

Suddenly, the two imperial city guards carefully carried into a huge mirror, and this time they didn't use anything to attract Wang Yanyi's attention, and their eyes couldn't help but flash with doubts. 2020

But then Zhao Zhi explained with a smile: "This treasure mirror, in fact, the Imperial City Division got two sides from overseas, but unfortunately the first emperor didn't have a chance to see it, I am going to sell it to Lord Wang cheaply, and ask Lord Wang to make a price." ”

Wang Yanyi's eyelids jumped directly, and he still smiled without saying a word: "I don't want Zhao Gongzi to be able to do business, if the Queen Mother said that there were two sides, the Prime Minister and the Privy Envoy would not have competed."

I don't know if Zhao Gongzi is willing to tell the truth, what did he talk to the privy envoy before? ”

It is indeed straight to the point, Zhao Zhizi has also seriously thought about it, the privy envoy Cao Yu is thinking about rebelling against himself as the emperor, but the prime minister Wang Yanying knows that it is difficult for him to rebel successfully, but he is thinking about the empress dowager Liu Mo, and now he is safe.

Because if Cao rebelled, his king Yanqi would definitely not be able to sit as today's prime minister; As for his own rebellion, Cao Yu is also a big enemy, and in the end it will only be a lose.

So when Zhao Zhi heard this, he also said directly and truthfully: "The reason why Lord Cao wants to hand over the gold to me in person is precisely to buy me and prepare for a rebellion later." In this way, the forbidden army of Bianjing City, and the forbidden guards of the Imperial City Palace are all in his hands, I don't know how Lord Wang is going to deal with it? ”

Finally, Wang Yanyi's veteran couldn't help but tremble imperceptibly, and muttered again: "Since Zhao Gongzi invited me to do business, do you want to curry favor with both sides?" Aren't you afraid that you will die in the end and have no place to be buried? ”

Zhao Zhi smiled faintly: "Business is business, if Lord Wang buys my mirror, I am not afraid of Cao taking advantage of it, not to mention Lord Wang's restraint." ”

Wang Yanyan raised his eyelids: "I don't want to underestimate Zhao Gongzi again, but I have the courage to fish in the troubled waters of Bianjing City." If I don't buy it, if Zhao Gongzi takes advantage of it, there will be no place for me in this Bianjing City. Zhao Gongzi is forcing me to buy it. ”

Zhao Zhi still smiled casually in the prison: "I don't dare to force the Prime Minister, I just want to do business with the Prime Minister." Could it be that Lord Wang also wants to rebel and become the emperor? ”

As a result, when the words fell, Wang Yanyi couldn't help but be silent, and after a while, he raised his eyelids again and said, "Zhao Gongzi, can you tell me, do you want to use the Imperial City Division to stand on your own?" Or loyal to the emperor and the queen mother? ”

Zhao Zhi still said casually: "Hasn't Lord Wang heard that I am loyal to the country?" ”

Wang Yanqi snorted directly and said: "Zhao Gongzi wants to change the entire Great Song Dynasty with the power of one person, but he doesn't know that the Liao envoy of the Liao State who collects New Year's coins will soon come to Bianjing."

There was also news from Western Xia that this time it would send envoys to Bianjing for negotiations; At the same time, the Tibetan tribes and the southwest Dali will also send envoys to come; Zhao Gongzi never thought about how the Liao envoy would react if he heard that Zhao Gongzi's loyalty to the country? ”

Zhao Zhi was stunned: "Lord Wang is really worthy of my prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the news is better than everyone else, it's good to come over together, I just want to meet them and let them all be honest." Does Lord Wang buy it or not? ”

Wang Yanyi also groaned again: "With such a treasure mirror, it can be said that it is a miracle to have two sides, and it is impossible to have a third side." But since there are two sides, I will definitely not spend another five million taels of silver, and ask Zhao Gongzi to make a price. ”

Zhao Zhi also thought about it seriously and said: "The two mirrors of the Imperial City Division spent a total of one million gold, that is, Lord Wang paid five million taels of silver, and the Imperial City Division also lost money. In that case, how about I make the decision to sell four million taels of silver to Lord Wang? ”

I didn't want the old guy to blink an eyelid and said, "Three million taels." ”

Zhao Zhi directly gritted his teeth with hatred, and couldn't help but stand up and walk back twice, as if he was struggling in his heart.

As a result, after only two trips, Zhao Zhi directly endured the pain and said: "Okay! Just three million taels! It's just that I also ask Lord Wang not to reveal it. Otherwise, if Lord Cao knew that Lord Wang only spent three million taels, I am afraid that he would be annoyed and angry, and then the consequences would be something that Lord Wang did not want to see. ”

……

Soon Wang Yanqi also left, the real feeling of dancing on the tip of the knife, just holding tens of thousands of new troops had to play with the two giants of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but stand on the second floor of the Listening Rain Building again, and one person quietly looked at the railing, looking down on the world of the Great Song Dynasty.

But he didn't know that there was no sound, and a figure stood a few steps behind him, but he only quietly looked at his quiet back and waited, and suddenly Zhao Zhi turned around and saw a figure standing in the door.
