Chapter 124: The Conspiracy to Usurp the Country

At the gate of the prison, the forbidden army gathered, and there were strong bows and crossbows to guard it, and the front was blocked by horses and antlers, and the defense was extremely tight.

Seeing that someone was approaching, the feathered arrows were already aimed at them, ready to shoot at any time.

Na Yu Hou hurriedly moved forward, negotiating something with the other party, and finally the forbidden army in front moved away from the antlers and let Zhao Hao and the other three in.

Although it is said that in places like prisons, in addition to appearing in and on TV, it is unlikely that there will be a prison robbery or escape incident in hundreds of lifetimes, but the prevention work is extremely strict.

In addition to the forbidden guards at the gate, there is also a 20-zhang long Yongdao near the door, and there is an iron gate at both ends of the Yongdao, which can only be opened from the outside.

Zhao Hao and the others walked into the corridor, followed the cell head forward, both sides were black railings, and when they arrived at the pass inside, the cell opened the iron lock and opened the door, which was the official prison house.

The cells on both sides are separated by single rooms, and the inside of the prison has been peaceful for so many years, and it has always been a relatively bleak place where rats are rampant. Now that there are a lot of anti-thieves living in it at once, they have gained a bit of popularity, and they are no longer so desolate.

When Zhao Hao just walked in, the prisoners in the two cells did not pay attention, this was not the time for dinner, they only regarded the prison head as a patrol, the prison leader led the way, Zhao Hao and Na Yuhou walked side by side, Wu Song and Fang Baihua and others followed behind, and when they walked through the two cells, the prisoners in one of the cells noticed that there were prisoners again.

It's just that Zhao Hao and the other three people have changed their faces, no one recognizes them, and after a few glances, they only think that a few more heroes have been imprisoned - their enemies, my heroes, and those who can be imprisoned in the prison are all heroes for them.

The group walked to the innermost cell, and the Marquis Yu lowered his voice and said to Zhao Hao: "I'll wait outside first, son, please take care of yourself...... Heaven and earth are heavy, the time should not exceed two incense sticks, and please understand that if something happens, even the Duke of Chu will not be able to bear it. ”

Zhao Hao nodded, and the Marquis Yu and the prison turned around and walked out, but locked the door again, and then heard the sound of the iron fence outside.

It is possible to explore the prison, but it is absolutely impossible to break through the two airtight gates and the two iron bars behind it that are thicker than a thumb.

In the passage in the middle of the cell, only Zhao Hao, Fang Baihua and Wu Song were left.

The felons in the cells seemed to have a premonition of something, and they stood up one after another, lying in front of the fence at the door of the room, and looked at the three of them.

However, Fang La's room was very quiet, and I saw Fang La's hair scattered, his clothes were ragged, and his face was full of beards.

"Big brother!" Fang Baihua couldn't hold back any longer, lying in front of the fence, and shouted at Fang La.

"Eleventh sister!" Someone on the side exclaimed, and then someone stopped him again.

Fang La was originally staring at Fang Baihua with her eyes open, looking at Fang Baihua suspiciously, when she heard Fang Baihua's voice, she jumped up in shock, rushed to the front of the fence, stared at Fang Baihua tightly, and asked in a hissed voice: "Eleventh sister, you are here!" ”

Fang Baihua grabbed Fang La's handcuffed hands, but she was silent in tears.

Zhao Hao sighed and removed the disguise talisman between himself and Fang Baihua, revealing the faces of the two.

"Zhao Hao!"

The crowd lying at the door of the cell was once again messy, and their expressions were extremely complicated.

After a long time, Fang La calmed down Fang Baihua, who was trembling from crying, and turned to Zhao Hao: "Son, don't come unharmed!" ”

Zhao Hao arched his hand towards Fang La, and then turned around towards the leaders of the righteous army on both sides, and then slowly walked to the fence: "Holy Father, suffer!" ”

Fang La didn't speak, just glared at him.

"Seventh Brother Fang and the two sons are safe and sound, and now they are hiding in Bangyuan Mountain, there are still 3,000 elites there, and the remaining more than 100,000 brothers, most of them have returned to their hometowns, and there are only more than 3,000 people who have been beheaded......"

"Traitor Zhu Mian, I went with Ling Mei to kill him, and the head of the Zhu thief has been taken by Ling Mei to help the source of blood sacrifice to the dead brothers......"

"I gave up the prosperity of Jiangnan this time, and entered Beijing alone, for my own dreams, and for the dreams of the Holy Father and your brothers......"

"I ventured into the prison today, firstly, to let my brothers and sisters meet, and secondly, I want to tell the Holy Father: Zhao Hao promised the Holy Father, and he will never break his promise!"

Zhao Hao's last sentence was very slow, but it was categorical, which moved Fang La.

"Okay, the contemptible man really didn't misunderstand the son, Fang La died without regrets!"

The two of them high-fived and said no more.

Over there, Fang Baihua was meeting the generals one by one, these famous rebel generals were all ragged and haggard at the moment, and they had long since lost their majesty, provoking Fang Baihua, a murderous female demon, with tears in her eyes and sadness. Especially when she saw her sister-in-law Zou, she couldn't control her emotions and grabbed Zou's hands and cried. However, Zou seemed very calm. originally thought that the whole door was destroyed, but now that he heard that his two sons had been saved, he had the intention of dying without regrets, with a smile on his face, he gently touched Fang Baihua's head and comforted this woman who was always coquettish in front of him in the past.

This kind of parting sorrow also infected Zhao Hao, and also went forward to meet the generals, shaking hands one by one, and the generals were also moved in their hearts, although they did not say much, but the words "Childe cherished" came from the bottom of his heart.

"Childe, if you have a word, I hope to listen carefully!"

A pale face appeared in front of Zhao Hao, his expression was very excited, and a pair of seemingly weak but powerful hands tightly grabbed Zhao Hao's wrists.

Fang La's strategist General Lu!

General LΓΌ, who was originally a student, was abandoned by the imperial court because of his criticism of Hua Shigang's policies. After the Fangla uprising, he organized people to follow in Fuyang. After Fang La occupied Hangzhou, he advocated first seizing Jiangning, which was not heavily guarded, holding the Yangtze River, and then taking advantage of the situation to seize the southeastern prefectures and counties. Fang La was too optimistic that the extremely corrupt Beizong Dynasty could not send heavy troops soon, and the rebel army could calmly seize Jiangnan, but Tong Guan's army quickly moved south, and Fang La had no danger to defend, and was swept all the way by Tong Guan.

When the Song army approached Hangzhou, General LΓΌ said that "Hangzhou should be withdrawn immediately", believing that this was "the only feasible plan". Fang La was unwilling to give up the city of Hangzhou, which he had won in a bloody battle, and was defeated.

And the best thing is that the historical Lu general actually escaped from the Gangyuan Cave under Han Shizhong's nose, and finally organized a man to resist the Song army.

"General Lu, 65 in force, 81 in intelligence, 72 in politics, 65 in command, 70 in health, and 90 in loyalty to Fang La."

Zhao Hao saw that this person seemed to have something important to say, and his expression became solemn at the moment, looked at General Lu, and said in a low voice: "General Lu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Lu Jiang's voice was slightly hoarse, and he said in a deep voice: "Gongzi is a member of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song Court has the strictest precautions against the clan, and has always only preferred Lu Jue, but he is not responsible for the power, even if the prince has immortal arts, it is even more difficult to achieve great things!" ”

Zhao Hao knew that he would have something to do, so he didn't answer, just looked into his eyes and listened to him continue.

"First, the body of the prince's clan is difficult to be a powerful minister, but he can be a favored minister first. Zhao Ji can do everything, but he can't be a gentleman! Its piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, garden architecture, juju safari, gold and stone carving, everything is bad...... It's especially good for women. I heard that Gongzi is also erudite and talented, and he has immortal arts, and he is good friends with Wang Wenqing, and it is not difficult to become Zhao Ji's favorite minister. If you can be a favored minister, you should be cheap and worry-free in the court, and even if the scholars and doctors criticize, it will be difficult to hurt the son. ”

"If it's just a favored minister, I'm afraid it's no different from Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan and the like. Therefore, if the prince is a favored minister, he must focus on gaining fame, or helping the poor and eliminating evil, or paving roads and bridges, or punishing traitors, or risking death to admonish...... Since the prince is a favored minister, if he does not hold real power, the official's heart of prevention will not be too great, and everything that can increase his reputation can be done, even if there is a thrill, it is difficult to kill himself. Gongzi wants to let the people of the world, especially the scholars, know that Gongzi is loyal to the country and jealous of evil, which is what the world wants...... Although scholars are not things, they are the ones who bring disaster to the country and the people, but before the son ascends to the throne, he must rely on the tongue and ink of the scholars. This is also the second. ”

"Third, although Gongzi cannot hold the power of the army, the battle of Poliao is imminent, and sooner or later there will be a battle with the Jurchens.

General Lu talked eloquently, and Zhao Hao listened extremely seriously, because General Lu's words hit his mind, and the general direction almost coincided.

"The official family is extremely protective of the clan, how can they let Zhao join the army to participate in the war?" This is a question that has been entangled in his heart for a few days, and when he heard Lu Jiang's words, he couldn't help but ask.

Lu Jiang laughed and said in a low voice: "Zhao Ji, although he is mediocre and incompetent, he is not stupid, and he is the best at balancing, which is the so-called imperial scheming." Childe didn't see the smart Cai Jing, but he was repeatedly belittled a few times, but why? This is Zhao Ji's way of balancing, he doesn't want Cai Jing to be the prime minister for many years, so he sits big, so he just suppresses it. Now in the DPRK and China, although the five thieves and other traitors secretly collude with each other, they are fighting openly and secretly; Originally, Lin Lingsu was lonely and helpless, but now with the addition of Wang Wenqing, he can be regarded as a faction; Other imperial histories, civil servants, military generals, harems, relatives, clans, eunuchs, etc. are also full of factions. However, no matter what faction or department, it is just Zhao Ji's chess piece, and he knows how to balance and will not let either side sit big. Tong Guan has been fubian for 20 years, how can Zhao Ji not be suspicious, so he appointed Gao Yu as the commander of the front division of the palace to control the forbidden army of the Beijing division to contain Tong Guan. If the prince is a favored minister, he can also follow the way of balance and become a faction of Zhao Ji's clan to contain Tong Guan or Gao Yu, although he may not be able to control the military power, but it may not be impossible to supervise the army. ”

Hearing the words, Zhao Hao was dumbfounded. This person is really a genius, not only can he see the situation of the entire court extremely thoroughly, but he can also see the Supreme Ninety-Five official family clearly.

Win Zhao Ji's favor.

Gain fame among scholars and warriors.

Follow Zhao Ji's way of balance, and you will get things done.

Although it was only a few words, it drew a blueprint for Zhao Hao. The identity of the clan, coupled with the expectations of hundreds of military officials in the world, so that once one day there is a chance to soar into the sky, there will not be too much resistance......

"Although the Great Song Dynasty is rotten, there are not a few loyal military generals, if it is a direct rebellion, it will be even more difficult, only ......"

General Lu finally looked at Zhao Hao, took a deep breath and said: "Only when the Jin people go south and then stand up, when the Jin people go south and the soldiers surround Bianliang, when Zhao Ji and his son show their mediocrity and incompetence in front of the subjects of the world, when the Great Song Mansion is about to collapse, it is the day when the son's yellow robe is added and the king will reign in the world!" ”

Zhao Hao was so shocked that he almost jumped up...... He wondered if the system's judgment was wrong, why didn't this person have an intelligence of 81?

General Lu slowly put down Zhao Hao's wrist and said in a low voice: "Lu is just talking in generalities...... It's easy to plan, but it's easy to get things in the middle, so how easy is it? Childe is good for himself...... May the prince come to the four seas, don't forget the original intention, don't live up to the people! ”

Zhao Hao was stunned for a long time, heard the sound of the cell door, and knew that the time had come, so he had to say goodbye.
