574,Southeast upheaval(4)
Two days later, the city of Tokyo first rushed out of a few horses to the southeast to report the news, and then, the Zhao'an delegation headed by Wang Hao officially set off, from Tokyo to the southeast, coincidentally, this day also happened to be the day when the prince returned to Tokyo.
One of the details is quite eye-catching, when Wang Hao set off, almost all the princes and ministers in the capital came to see him off, and when Wang Hao left only an hour later, the prince and his entourage also arrived in Tokyo, but only a few young brothers of the prince and a few ministers in Zheng Juzhong came to greet them with a group of insignificant East Palace staff, Mo said that it could not be compared with the grand scene when the prince was ordered to go to the southeast to suppress bandits half a year ago, and it was also completely inferior to Wang Huang, because everyone knows, Due to the unshirkable responsibility in the fiasco of the southeastern army, the crown prince is likely to be finished, and to greet him at this time is to oppose the new prince who is about to appear!
Zhao Huan looked at the sparsely populated greeting team in front of the city gate, only to feel disheartened, and then saw Zheng Juzhong's white-haired appearance, he couldn't help but burst into tears, "Uncle, I ......," although he is not his own uncle, he has to scream at this time.
Zheng Juzhong forced a smile, "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't cry, now is not the time to cry, you still have a chance!" There's one more person who can help you! ”
The prince was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?!" ”
Zheng Juzhong put his mouth to the prince's ear and said a name in a voice that only the prince could hear,
The prince looked at Zheng Juzhong in a daze, with a bit of shame in his expression, "...... this?" ”
Zheng Juzhong grabbed the prince's wrist and said in an excited voice in this way that was almost a transgression, "His Royal Highness the Prince, now is not the time to consider dignity, you look at the old minister, and then look at the ministers behind the old minister, we have staked everything on you, even if you are not for us, please think about the queen who treats you as your own!" ”
The prince looked directly into Zheng Juzhong's eyes, and only nodded vigorously after a long time......!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wang Huang as the minister, adhering to the will, all the way unhurried, this slow has a full reason to swagger, he everywhere, along the way officials are eager to rush, do their best to tie up with him, he this way from Tokyo to the southeast thousands of miles away that is what a scenery, and when he finally arrived in the southeast half a month later, but a lot of money!
Tong Guan personally led the generals to greet Wang Huang, Wang Huang took out the holy decree, Tong Guan and others immediately knelt on the ground to receive the decree, the will was very simple, the emperor affirmed Tong Guan's role in the last defeat of the southeast army to turn the tide, and encouraged Tong Guan and the southeast people to continue to be loyal to the country.
Wang Hao is the minister of the Qin Mission, even if the official rank is lower than Tong Guan, but Tong Guan still has to be extremely respectful to him, but when the two of them entered the camp alone and got out of everyone's sight, Tong Guan and Wang Hao's appearance immediately came to a big reversal, Wang Hao immediately respectfully supported Tong Guan to sit on the top position, "Last time, thanks to the letter sent by the Taishi in advance, I and Mr. Enfu were prepared in advance." ”
Tong Guan smiled, "Is King Jia okay?" ”
"Okay, since the news of the defeat of the Southeast Army came, the Holy Lord has begun to summon His Royal Highness King Jia to accompany him to paint and appreciate the stones, and it can be seen that the Holy Lord still loves King Jia a lot!"
"That's good, what is the attitude of the Holy Lord towards the crown prince?"
"Hmph, Zhang Di said that the saint was furious that day, threw Wang Huan's secret music to the ground, and scolded the stupid person three times in a row, and it is already conceivable who is scolding. On the first day of my arrival, the Holy Majesty ordered the prince not to enter the palace after returning to Beijing, and to let him go back to the East Palace for a few days of closed reflection first. Now that the city of Tokyo is going viral, he can't sit in the crown prince's seat for a few days! Wang Huan is the person who the emperor "secretly" placed in the southeast army to monitor the prince and Tong Guan, but unfortunately, his identity has long been recognized and used by Tong Guan.
"Well, it's good" Tong Guan nodded with a satisfied smile, "Almost!" ”
Wang Hao looked at Tong Guan, his eyes were full of endless worship, "This is thanks to the Taishi, the Taishi has been absent from Tokyo for a year, we have been taken advantage of by the prince and Zheng Juzhong, Mr. Enfu and I are helpless, and then the prince was sent to the southeast by the saint, Mr. Enfu and I only wanted bad things, and worried about the prince for a day and night, but I didn't expect that the Taishi would give the prince to ...... with just a little trick,"
"Uh-huh......?!" Tong Guan's face sank slightly, interrupting Wang Huang, "Don't talk nonsense, the old minister is loyal to the emperor and the Great Song Dynasty, how can he say that he is scheming?" It's no wonder that the prince was carried away by the false victory and insisted on going his own way, so he fell for the tricks of the thieves, and it has nothing to do with the old minister! ”
Only then did Wang Hao realize the gaffe, and hurriedly cooperated, "Yes, yes, the master looks at me, my mouth is really a dog thief who can't spit out ivory!" ”
Tong Guan smiled at this time, "Jiang Ming doesn't have to be like this, by the way, ...... you come this time?" ”
"Oh," said Wang Huang at once to Tong Guan 1510 all that had happened that day, and to tell him all the emperor's will for him.
Tong Guan pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, this plan is very good, after this defeat, the southeast army suffered extremely heavy losses, and the old man is still worried about how to resist the next attack of the Qishan bandits, so it is just right, the old man can have more time to rearrange the battle situation." ”
Wang Hao asked, "Taishi, how do you think Zhu Wu and the Qishan Bandit will react to our request?" What if they reject us all at once? ”
Tong Guan smiled, and instead of answering, he asked, "Jiang Ming, in your opinion, what is the difference between Zhu Wu and Zheng Linfeng?" ”
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Different? Nothing different, right? They are all reckless, and they all rely on launching dog legs to oppose us. ”
Tong Guan smiled and shook his head, "They have a big difference, that Zheng Linfeng has never been the king, but this Zhu Wu has been the king." ”
Wang Huangqi said, "Is there any difference between this? Even if Zheng Linfeng is not the king, what is the difference between him and a king now? The reason why he is not a king is just to cover people's eyes and ears. ”
Tong Guan's smile became even stronger, "Wrong! The difference is big, doesn't Zheng Linfeng have ambitions? No, then why didn't he claim the throne? Because he is very smart, he knows how to restrain his ambitions, and this just shows that his ambition is not as simple as being a king! In comparison, this Zhu Wu is different, he couldn't wait to become the king after only capturing half of the Liangzhejiang Road not long after he started his army, what does this mean? This shows that although Zhu Wu is ambitious, he has no brains, and he is even short-sighted and greedy for quick profit! He is much easier to deal with than that Zheng Linfeng. ”
Wang Hao's eyes lit up, "What does Taishi mean ......?" ”
Tong Guan said, "To deal with people like Zhu Wu, it is necessary to make a lot of profits, and promise all the promises that can be made, so that he feels that even if he follows us, he can also ensure the glory and wealth of his life, as long as he can pay a big enough price to make him believe this, plus his grudge with Zheng Linfeng, even if we don't let him attack Zheng Linfeng, he will beg us to let him go!" ”
Wang Hao couldn't help but applaud, but then hesitated as if he remembered something, "But...... Shall we make him believe us?"
"I said, it's a big enough price!" Tong Guan smiled mysteriously and said slowly, "I heard that Zhu Wu has not yet married, and our Royal Highness the Prince's own sister, Emperor Rongde, seems to have reached the age ......of marriage this year. ”
Wang Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Tong Guan meant, Emperor Rongde is the half-sister of the prince Zhao Huan, who is eighteen years old, if she can marry Zhu Wu, not only can she play a role in confusing Zhu Wu, but also can once again deeply hit the prince's party!
"Good!" Wang Hao said, "Let's talk to Zhu Wu first, if not, we will induce Zhu Wu to say this condition, and then I will ask for the Holy Will!" ”

Note: Emperor Ji, Song Huizong imitated the title of "Wang Ji" in the Zhou Dynasty, and renamed the "princess" of the imperial family as "Emperor Ji". This system was maintained for more than ten years, and it was not until the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty that the old system was restored.
In addition, Emperor Rongde Zhao Jinnu was only fifteen years old at this time, please allow me to make her a few years older for the sake of the plot。。。。。。
