When leaving the imperial capital, King Kang Zhao Gou was in a very heavy mood, and Princess Kang, who was in the same car, seemed to have something on her mind, and both of them ignored each other, but they both knew that the other party was uncomfortable.

In the end, King Kang Zhao Gou still didn't have the courage to take on the charge of killing his father, he chose to do it in another way, but he didn't expect King Han to agree.

"Your Highness, tell you something." and

"What's the matter, you can tell me." King Kang Zhao Gou is an extremely wise person, he can guess what Princess Kang wants to express, but he still hopes that the other party will confess to him.

"I have."

These three words are like a thunderbolt from the sky, almost knocking King Kang down, it is obvious that what Princess Kang said is different from what he imagined, he didn't think about this problem, and he didn't know how to face it.

"I'm sorry." Princess Kang couldn't cry, anyway, the man opposite had not failed him, but he made him a green hat king.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, is it useful?" King Kang held his head in his hands, and this shame made him feel the urge to kill. But reason told himself that once he killed Princess Kang, then his prince would be the end, and what would he talk about being an emperor.

Princess Kang didn't know what to say, after all, she was the one who cuckolded King Kang.

"Take him away, be my princess well, after a while I ascend the throne, I will crown you as the queen, and I am not to blame for the previous things." King Kang made the biggest concession, although he wanted to get rid of Princess Kang in his heart, but before the Great Song Dynasty had the ability to destroy the Han Kingdom, this green hat could not be taken off.

"It's not good, he knows, if you take his own flesh and blood, he will definitely not pass your Highness. Besides, if you want to reign over the world, you can't provoke the King of Han. ”

"In that case, why are you telling me?"

"It is to make you mentally prepared, and the child will be born in the future, and you will panic." Princess Kang stabilized her mind, and she said in an unquestionable tone: "You are the one who aspires to be the emperor, you can't have any stains on your life path, this child is yours, no one can deny it, not even King Han." Of course, after you destroy the King of Han, how to deal with our mother and son is a later matter, but before that, you are my husband, I am your princess, you are the emperor, I am the queen, if I am left as a boy, it is the prince, and no one can change it. You know very well, so this matter, you don't have any ideas, the top priority to control the Great Song Dynasty is to become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, when the Jin army goes south, you can become the savior who can turn the tide, so that you are qualified to compete with the Han King, otherwise, you are destined to be trampled underfoot. ”

"Then do you hate King Han? Would you rather follow him or follow me? ”

"Of course, you are willing to be your queen, you know this very well, being a queen is much better than being a concubine, provided that you can have enough strength to defeat the king of Han. If you are defeated in the end, I will not bury you with you, and I am still willing to follow King Han. ”

Contradiction complex, obviously this beauty in front of him is a contradiction complex, but King Kang has no heart to consider these problems, for him, dealing with the complicated situation in the capital is the last word, and he can't just rely on Lin Lingsu's words to let himself put his life into it.

can't be wrong, at this moment, King Kang Zhao Gou knows that he can't make a single mistake, he can't make a mistake at all, once he is wrong, he can't turn back.

What is the capital like, why did the official family poison the emperor, and why did the emperor make up his mind to abolish the official family? This is a question mark for King Kang, and the most important thing for him is what is the attitude of the civil and military officials, and what is the attitude of the meritorious family.

The capital, the capital has been in a mess since Yuwen left in the void, and Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, followed Mei Zhili's advice and did the stupidest thing, that is, poisoning the emperor.

Mei Zhili, this shameless and despicable guy finally chose a path that no one could understand, and on the seventh day after the Son of Heaven poisoned the Emperor, he chose to tell the truth, of course, this guy will definitely not accept that it is his own idea.

Emperor Zhao Ji couldn't believe his ears, and after being silent for a long time, he asked eagerly: "Are you sure that the Son of Heaven sent someone to poison me, why did I have no warning?" ”

Poisoning, poisoning does not necessarily have symptoms. Mei Zhili lowered his voice and asked, "Your Majesty, have you found that you can't do that kind of thing recently?" ”

"You, you, why do you ask?" The most taboo thing for men is that thing, especially at the age of the emperor, who is even more reluctant to mention it to outsiders.

"Because the poison under the official family is to make people lose that ability first, and then they will feel sleepy, tired, drowsy, and eventually die."

Death, Emperor Zhao Ji is greedy for life and afraid of death, first for the imperial power, it seems that survival seems to be more important. If he had a choice, he would still choose to live, even if it was a lifetime of house arrest.

Seeing that the Emperor Taishang was silent, Mei Zhili knew that everything was true, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, maybe you will find the antidote one day." ”

"Antidote, it seems that you still don't know about the Great Song Emperor, since he decided to poison me, he will definitely not give me a chance to detoxify, let's say how long it will take for this poison to devour my life."

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Emperor Zhao Ji lost the courage to find the antidote, he looked straight at Mei Zhili, and said viciously: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I have countless ways to kill you." ”

"Your Majesty, it is said to be a year, if you find an imperial doctor to recuperate, maybe it will take a little longer, I can't tell you the specifics."

One year, one year is enough, but Zhao Ji is still a little unwilling, and he then asked, "Why did the Son of Heaven poison me?" ”

"Because, the official family blames the king of Han, so it is logical for the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State to unite to deal with the Han State, in order to avenge Your Majesty, so the official family and the Jin State are united, you must know that without the help of the Jin State Iron Cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army will definitely not be able to defeat the Han army."

"What, the official family wants to cooperate with the Jin State?" As soon as the Jin State was mentioned, the Emperor Zhao Ji was furious, if it was not for the cooperation with the Jin State, a country with wolf ambitions, the Hebei Road would not have been lost, and he would not have passed on the throne in a hurry, which eventually caused the situation that the Jin State was poisoned.

"Because, it is rumored that the queen gave birth to a thousand daughters to the king of Han, and the king of Han supports His Majesty, under the effect of these two things, the official family decided to unite with the Jin country to deal with the king of Han."

"Of course, does it have something to do with me, for fear that I will seize his throne?"

Mei Zhili did not dare to answer in the face of Emperor Zhao Ji's question, but this was enough to explain the problem.

Emperor Zhao Ji's face became more and more ugly, and he asked angrily, "Why do you want to tell me, is someone instructing you to do this, so that our father and son can kill each other?" ”

Mei Zhili said in a firm tone: "The minister doesn't want to be a slave of the country, the minister is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and finally the son of the Zhao family, but the minister will definitely not be a slave of the country, once the Song and Jin join forces to destroy the Han, the final result will definitely be the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter whether the Han State or the Jin State wins, who wins, will not allow the self-proclaimed orthodox Great Song Dynasty to exist." ”

Emperor Zhao Ji believed what Mei Zhili said, in his opinion, the literati would not defect to the Jin State, and they would all be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, not the Jin State of a foreign race, let alone the Han State that tried to usurp the throne. The Great Song Dynasty has always been with scholars and doctors, and it is natural for scholars to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, especially important ministers like Mei Zhili, who are full of poetry and books, and will be even more loyal to the Zhao family.

"Go down, I'm tired."

Emperor Zhao Ji was really tired, and after Mei Zhili left, he gritted his teeth and said: "Emperor, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind, I can give you the country, I can take it back, I can give you life, and I can destroy you." ”

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhao Ji sent someone to secretly recruit Lin Lingsu into the palace.

Lin Lingsu, the old immortal, finally chose to agree to help Zhao Ji, for him, to help Emperor Taishang regain the throne, on the one hand, it can be regarded as a return for the kindness of his acquaintance, and on the other hand, he does not want the Great Song Dynasty to fall into the hands of the Jin people.

Zhao Ji's most trusted person is Lin Lingsu, and only this person can help him regain the throne.

"Your Majesty, since you have been poisoned and do not have a long lifespan, what is the point of regaining the throne?"

"It makes sense, I don't have the idea of ascending the throne anymore, and besides, if I ascend the throne, there is still no way to face the Jin army going south, so even if I have a few decades of life, I will not ascend the throne. The throne will be handed over to Lao Jiu, only he has the ability to turn the tide, resist the Jin army going south, and finally regain the world from the hands of the Han King. Liu Zhenglong is a chaotic minister and thief after all, and he will become the gravedigger of the Great Song Dynasty. The mention of Liu Zhenglong made Zhao Ji's heart ache, and he felt sorry for himself: "It was I who didn't know anyone, and finally raised tigers to cause today's situation, I hope that I can eradicate this fang with my own hands in my lifetime, or that sentence, what I can give him, I can take it back." Don't think that you can take over the world by mastering the army, this world is always in the hands of civilian officials, in my hands. ”

Truth or falsehood, Lin Lingsu couldn't help but think a lot in his heart, he wanted to repay Zhao Ji for his kindness, but it didn't mean that he could have no principles and no bottom line.

In this way, Lin Lingsu went to the imperial capital and finally reached an agreement with Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han.

After returning to the capital, Lin Lingsu met the Emperor Zhao Ji, for him, there was no one to stop him from entering the palace, and the guards of Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, were simply decorations.

Emperor Zhao Ji asked, "Say, what are the conditions for the fang?" ”

"The King of Han accepted the conditions of the Emperor Taishang, but emphasized that King Kang must make a blood oath to protect the survival of the descendants of the Zhao family, and if King Kang intends to deal with the King of Han, then the Zhao family will be cut off. Without this blood oath, King Han would never have dealt with the Son of Heaven, no matter what conditions he promised, it was useless. ”

Blood oaths, do oaths work? At the beginning, Taizu also vowed to assist the young master, but in the end, Chen Qiaoyi mutinied, and the yellow robe was added. Emperor Zhao Ji pondered for a long time and said: "Let me come to this oath, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince King Han, and Lao Jiu will not agree." ”

Emperor Zhao Ji didn't expect that the blood oath he made would eventually become a talisman for the Zhao family.

The blood oath is to be written in the blood of the oath-taker, and this time it will also use the seal of the Emperor Zhao Ji, only if this blood book is approved by the King of Han, the forces of the King of Han ambush in the capital will act.

came and went, and on the third day of the third month of the fourth year of Jingkang, on this day, King Zhao of Kang entered Beijing.

In the Longde Palace, Emperor Taishang Zhao Ji, King Kang Zhao Gou, Lin Lingsu, and Zhiduoxing Wu Yong were present. With Lin Lingsu, the number one master of the Great Song Kingdom, he is not afraid of being overheard, and it is safe to talk in the secret room.

Emperor Zhao Ji said: "You also know the matter, I will not go around in circles, I only have one year left to live, I hope to see King Kang ascend the throne, and see Song and Han join forces to drive the Jin Kingdom out of the Great Wall." ”

Listening to Emperor Zhao Ji say it himself, King Kang Zhao Gou is really dead, it seems that the imperial brother really poisoned his father, and it is also true that the imperial brother and the Jin State conspired to deal with the Han together. It seems that now either the fish is dead or the net is broken, and there is absolutely no turning back.

King Kang Zhao Gou knelt on the ground and said reverently: "Erchen is willing to be a sinner for the Zhao family, and will never let the Jin army step into the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Very good, let's say, is it the court to depose the Son of Heaven, or to seize the palace by force?" Emperor Zhao Ji's eyes showed murderous intent, he had already decided to get rid of Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, but he was hesitant about what way to choose.

King Kang Zhao Gou didn't know what way to choose, so he asked: "Father, you said that method is good, which is more conducive to the stability of the court." ”

"Let's let Wu Xue say it." Emperor Zhao Ji just wanted to dig a pit for the King of Han, how could he easily pass Wu? You must know that this guy is representing the King of Han, and his idea is more meaningful.

Wu Yong knew before that the Emperor Taishang would dig a pit for himself, so how could he be easily fooled? He smiled and said: "The first plan is to send assassins to deal with the Son of Heaven Zhao Huan, but theoretically speaking, it should be the crown prince to succeed him, although the prince is only seven years old, but the prince is the first in line to the throne." The second plan is for the four major families to come forward and unite with the forbidden army to launch a palace mutiny, and finally force the Son of Heaven to abdicate and pass the throne to His Royal Highness King Kang. The third plan is to unite the courtiers to depose the official family in the court, and then the Emperor Taishang will ascend the throne, and then pass the throne to His Royal Highness King Kang. ”。

Wu Yong's meaning is very clear, King Han only gave three plans, the final decision is in the hands of Emperor Taishang, in the hands of King Kang, if there is a pit, everyone jumps together, no one can avoid it.

Each of the three plans has its own merits, and it is impossible to talk about which one is the best policy and which one is the lower policy. The first plan is the most direct, and the Han Wangfu will come forward to solve the problem of Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, but in that case, King Kang Zhao Gou's accession to the throne is not justified, which is equivalent to King Kang Zhao constituting a chaotic minister and thief who plotted to usurp the throne. The second plan is the most moving, and it is difficult to say how it will be written in the history books, at least the drastic changes in the court of the Great Song Dynasty will be known to the whole world. There is only the third plan, which is small, reasonable, and legal, but it takes one more detour, and there will be variables in the middle.
