Chapter 190: The Halter of the Wild Horse
At the moment when the gate of the capital was closed, a stagecoach galloped in and went straight to the direction of the palace.
Wang Yingjue's recital was drafted by Feng Ruhai, this old fox knows the emperor's mental tricks completely, knows what they are most afraid of, and what they care about the most. So when Zhao Heng saw the first line of words, he stood up suddenly.
The twist is first of all, if Ling Kun rebels, where will the Great Song Dynasty go? Ling Kun, as the general of the Zhuguo, commanded the envoys in front of the palace, and was directly in charge of all the troops of the forbidden army. If Ling Kun had a rebellion, the Great Song monarchs would have no room for resistance.
This is also the most worried problem of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu became the emperor because of the military power in his hands, and he put on a yellow robe, so he was most afraid that his soldiers would follow their yellow robes. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi have always been cautious in this regard, and when they arrived at Zhao Heng, the reason why they entrusted Ling Kun with a heavy responsibility was that the situation was urgent and there was no way, and secondly, they could see that Ling Kun had no intention of rebelling.
But why did Wang Yingjue bring up this matter, is there such a sign? He continued to look down, and did not say that Ling Kun had an antisense throughout the article, but only listed a few facts, which were decided by the emperor himself.
First, Ling Kun and the princess of Liao have a close relationship, Xiao Ran, the princess of Liao, once lived in Lingkun's mansion for a long time, in the battle of Song and Liao years ago, Ling Kun had already laid the most important pass to seize Youyun, the Flying Fox Pass, but Xiao Ran came forward to intercede, and Ling Kun actually gave the Flying Fox Pass and Niujiao Pass to the Liao State.
Zhao Heng scolded when he saw this: "Bastard, this is the country's country." He knew about this matter, but Ling Kun reported at the time that he was in a hurry to go south into Sichuan, so he talked about making peace with the Liao State and dismissing the troops, but he didn't expect that there was such a cat in the middle.
After reading the first one, Zhao Heng was trembling with anger, but after reading the second one, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The second article is that Situ Jianghua, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Shu Kingdom, is Ling Kun's fellow elder brother, Ling Kun was riddled with evil diseases when he was a child, and it was Situ Jianghua who served him with a handful of and urine, and he was as kind to him as a mountain. Now that the senior brothers are fighting each other on the battlefield of Shu Kingdom, it is unknown what Ling Kun will choose.
Is there still a choice? What a dangerous relationship, what a dangerous person, he never thought that he would hand over the army to such a person. Zhao Heng wiped the cold sweat from his head and continued to look down.
The third list is that Ling Kun and Helian Jingying, the princess of Western Xia, have a close relationship, and the two have fought side by side in Wudang Mountain, and their words and deeds are very intimate. Moreover, Ling Kun also walked all the way to Sichuan with the prince of Dali, and the relationship was also very good.
Although these two things are not a big deal, why does Ling Kun frequently associate with important people in the enemy country, and what kind of heart does he have?
Let's look at the last one: The day before yesterday, Situ Jianghua presented Ling Kun with the beauty of Shu Kingdom, Ling Kun had an affair with a beautiful woman in the military camp, and was broken by Zhao Mingyue, the princess of Yan Kingdom, and ran away angrily, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Seeing this, Zhao Heng roared angrily and knocked the big table beside him to the ground: "Bastard, bastard, bastard." β
Zhao Heng has always been a humble gentleman, Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, the eunuchs around him had never seen him so angry, so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shouted: "The emperor is angry, take care of the dragon's body." β
Zhao Heng kicked the eunuch over: "What a bullshit dragon body, no matter how good you are, you won't even have a place to bury yourself." β
The eunuch was so frightened that he did not dare to answer.
Zhao Heng hurriedly walked around twice, pointed at the eunuch and said, "Go, call Kou Zhun to me, immediately." β
"Slave slave slave...... The slave obeyed the order" The eunuch stood up and ran outside, and was stopped again when he arrived at the door: "Wait, send someone to Wan'an Palace to have a look, and ask if Princess Yan has come back?" β
"Yes, yes, the minion will do it."
After the eunuch left, Zhao Heng smashed the imperial study to pieces. Not long after, Kou Zhun, who had been sleeping with his concubine in his arms, received an edict from the emperor and entered the palace in a panic. Seeing Zhao Heng like this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Your Majesty, what happened?" β
"See for yourself." Zhao Heng threw the fold to Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun picked up the fold, and came down in a cold sweat before he finished reading, Ling Kun was his protΓ©gΓ©, and he recommended it with all his might, something really happened, he Kou Zhun was also a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty through the ages.
"What do you think?" Zhao Heng asked.
Kou Zhun kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, if this is all true, then the matter will be strict."
It's heavy, Ling Kun is an unruly wild horse, only Princess Mingyue is his halter, if Princess Mingyue really breaks with him and runs away, then he will behave as he wants in the future. β
Zhao Heng asked the eunuch: "By the way, has the princess come back?" β
"Back to Long Live Lord, the princess has just come, and she is in a very bad mood, and the Queen Mother personally slept with her."
Zhao Heng and Kou Zhun gasped at the same time, it seems that this thing is true.
"Tell me, what should I do?" Zhao Heng asked Kou Zhun.
"Your Majesty, the princess knows these situations best, early tomorrow morning, the emperor will personally go to Wan'an Palace to verify, if these things are true, immediately send an edict to Ling Kun to come back, as long as he comes back, he will be relieved of his military power and his official position."
"Isn't this a startling snake, if he doesn't dare to come back, will he directly turn back?" Zhao Heng said worriedly.
Kou Zhun said: "No, the emperor will attach a secret letter to him at the same time as passing the decree, which means that Princess Yue is not thinking about tea and dinner, looking for death and life, it is very critical, let him put down all the errands at hand and return to the capital to deal with it immediately, if Princess Mingyue has a mistake, he will definitely ask him for capital crimes, so that he will definitely come back in a hurry." β
"Good way, good way, in this way, don't go back today, just live in the palace, prepare the holy decree and secret letter, and once it is verified clearly tomorrow, send someone to Sichuan to spread the decree as soon as possible."
Kou Zhun worked overtime overnight, Zhao Heng was in a hurry all night, and couldn't sleep at night, so he finally drove Wan'an Palace in the morning.
At this moment, the Queen Mother had just gotten up, and she was hugged by Zhao Mingyue all night, and she didn't even turn over, and her arms and legs were almost stiff.
Zhao Heng arrived at Wan'an Palace and saluted the Queen Mother.
"Why does the emperor have time to come to Wan'an Palace today?" The Queen Mother asked.
"Queen Mother, my son-in-law has something important to talk to Mingyue." Zhao Heng's tone revealed that he was anxious.
"This, she had a nightmare, and she didn't sleep until dawn, do you want to let her sleep for a while?" The Queen Mother is embarrassed.
Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll wait a little longer." β
However, he was so anxious at the moment, where could he wait, he walked around at Zhao Mingyue's door, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Mingyue, are you up, I have something important to ask you." β
