Zhao Hao heard Tong Guan say this, his heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "Could it be a plan to lose the pawn and protect the car?" ”

Tong Guan laughed and said, "Exactly! Gao Yu was derelict in his duties, and in any case, he was abolished...... Even if he saves his life, he is still degraded to the common people, never used, and has no use value, and has been regarded as an outcast by Cai Jing and his party. And Gao Yu has a very close relationship with King Yun, Cai Jing and others, if the son is investigated and Cai Jing and King Yun are involved, then Cai Jing and his party will inevitably be defeated. How does Cai Jing not know about the stakes? Therefore, he simply concocted evidence and pushed the case to Gao Yu alone, so as not to provoke fire. ”

Zhao Hao showed an interesting look in his eyes, but a slight chill flashed in his heart, the battle between the court and the court seemed to be just a verbal sword, but in fact, it was murderous. The hall full of literati doctors, all of whom seem to be gentle and elegant, personable, in fact, most of them are honey-bellied swords, ruthless people, don't say that once they catch the flaws of their opponents, they will fall into the well and kill the killer, even if they are their own teammates, once they have no use value, they will be betrayed and framed.

Puzzled, he asked, "Why is it like the real thing?" ”

Tong Guan's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "The official family wants to recover the sixteen states of Youyun and achieve a thousand years of achievements, doesn't Cai Jing know?" However, it has always been exquisite, which is very in line with the will of the officials, why did he repeatedly obstruct Lianjin to destroy Liao and rebel against the holy will in this matter? It is not for the state, but for private interests. ”

Zhao Hao: "Oh? ”

Tong Guan said with a smile: "The mutual market trade between Liao and Song Dynasty, especially the bulk trade of salt and iron, is controlled by Cai Jing and his party. All business travelers who travel to and from the border of Liaodi must hold the Qilin Order to pass, otherwise they will not only be unable to pass the checkpoints along the road, but may even be empty of people and money. The unicorn orders were all issued by the Taiwei Mansion, and the benefits in it, not to mention millions a year, were all obtained by Cai Jing and Gao Yu. In addition to the issuance of the Qilin Order, large transactions such as salt and iron cannot be touched by caravans under the names of Cai Jing and Gao Yu, and the profits are tens of millions...... If the Liao State is destroyed, and the land of the sixteen states of Youyun is returned to the Song Land, how can you not feel distressed if tens of millions of dollars are lost in vain? Therefore, Cai Jing and his party would rather disobey the will of the officials than protect the Liao State. ”

Tong Guan paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for the letters from Tongliao, Cai Jing and Gao Yu colluded with the Liao people for personal gain, and exchanged letters, how much more than 100 letters a year? Therefore, the letters in the iron evidence are true and false, false and true. A few of the letters from the Liao are true, but the letters with the Liao people plotting rebellion are false, and it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish between true and false. ”

Zhao Hao asked with a puzzled face: "However, the concocted letter is almost exactly the same as Gao Yu's own handwriting, and my son is also quite knowledgeable about calligraphy, so I can't see the difference." ”

Tong Guan smiled bitterly: "Cai Jingzhi's calligraphy is famous all over the world, and it is the best in the world with its ability to confuse the truth." In his early years, although Cai Jing claimed that his thin gold book only had eighty percent of the official family's skills, he repeatedly pretended to be the handwriting of the official family and falsely transmitted the holy oracle, and even the official family himself was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it was not a problem to imitate Gao Yu's handwriting. ”

Zhao Hao finally understood it completely, and he unconsciously admired Cai Jing'er tightly.

This old man is not only decisive and ruthless, but also very skilled, no wonder he can be a very popular minister, control the government for decades, and win the trust of Shenzong, Zhezong and Zhao Ji.

Tong Guan looked at Zhao Hao and asked respectfully, "I don't know what the son wants to do?" ”

Zhao Hao smiled faintly: "It's rare for Cai Jing to work so hard, I had to fall for him." ”

Tong Guan laughed and said, "Wonderful, the son is really smart!" ”

Zhao Hao has a ghost in his heart, if he can push all this matter to Gao Yu and avoid disputes, it will naturally be the best of both worlds.

Although Cai Jing didn't know that Zhao Hao was the main messenger behind the scenes, he knew that Zhao Hao had no foundation in the court, and when he encountered this kind of bizarre and strange case, it was impossible to solve the case within a month.

The two looked at each other and laughed for a long time, and then Tong Guan asked: "As soon as Gao Yu dies, the three yamen will be leaderless, and the official family must choose someone else to replace him, I don't know what the son thinks about this matter?" ”

Zhao Hao looked stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Tong Guan said: "Cai Jing's party must elect Yang Jian, this person is deeply favored by the official family and is the most promising; The second is that the Qingliu party will push Li Gang back to the dynasty and take office. ”

Zhao Hao smiled and asked, "Who do you want to recommend?" ”

Tong Guan said respectfully: "Li Gang is not liked by the officials, and there is almost no hope, but if Yang Jian is allowed to do it, the power of Cai Jing's party will not decrease but increase...... The old slave recommended Liu Yanqing, the envoy of the Baoxin Army and the deputy commander of the Ma Army, to serve as him. It's just that Liu Yanqing is originally from the Western Army, and if it is recommended by the old slave, the official family will be suspicious; If it is recommended by the son, then the official family knows that the son and the Western Army do not have too many entanglements, and there will be no suspicion. ”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, although Liu Yanqing performed well in the Battle of Square, but he collapsed without a fight in the Battle of Baigou River in history, which caused the Liao and Jin people to despise the Song army extremely much, so that the later Jin people went south, and let such a mediocre person take charge of the Sanya Forbidden Army, isn't that to make the Jingshi Forbidden Army completely rotten?

A person suddenly appeared in his mind, and he had a conclusion in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Who to recommend, this son has his own idea in his heart, just don't let that Yang Jian succeed." ”

Although Tong Guan was a little disappointed on his face, he didn't dare to say anything in front of Zhao Hao after all, but fortunately, Zhao Hao promised not to let Yang Jian succeed, and he could be regarded as having achieved his goal, so he didn't say anything more.

……

The Imperial Study.

Zhao Ji sat behind the bookcase, his face was cloudy, a little lonely, a little angry, and when he saw Zhao Hao come in to salute, he didn't get up, but waved his hand slightly.

Zhao Ji asked, "Is it verified?" ”

Zhao Hao said respectfully: "It's all verified, this is a conspiration between Gao Yu and the Liao people." The soldiers and horses who killed the king in the paddock were all Liao spies, and Gao Yu abused his power, so that the Liao spies came from the north, all the way unimpeded, and then ambushed the soldiers in the paddock. ”

Zhao Hao respectfully opened the brocade box, gently put it on top of Zhao Ji's bookcase, and then took a few steps back and stood with his hands down.

Zhao Ji had a suspicious look in his eyes, took out the letter in the brocade box, picked up a letter and read it carefully, just read one, his expression became not calm, and his eyes were full of light.

However, this guy was very delicate, and did not continue to read the second letter, but carefully studied the letter for a long time. He was originally a master of calligraphy, and Gao Yu served him for 20 years, if it was a forged handwriting, it would naturally be difficult to escape his eyes.

Finally, Zhao Ji put down the first letter and continued to read the second and third letters......

Gradually, the light in Zhao Ji's eyes became more and more terrifying, the muscles of his face twitched sharply, his body trembled slightly, and it took a long time to calm himself down, and he asked angrily: "Why do the Liao people want to harm me?" ”

"Because Your Majesty wants to join Jin to destroy Liao, the Liao people think that Your Majesty is a saint who has not been born for a thousand years, if you can harm Your Majesty, then the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos, and you have no intention of going on a northern expedition, so you will commit murder."

When Zhao Ji heard the words "a saint who has not come out for a thousand years", his face softened a little, and he asked in a deep voice: "I treat Gao Yu well, why do you commit treason and kill the king?" ”

Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The minister is not a high-ranking minister, I don't know what he thinks...... However, the minister knew that if His Majesty went north to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Youyun, it would greatly damage the interests of Gao Yu. The mutual market on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasty is under the control of Gao Yu alone, and all business travelers who pass must hold the unicorn order issued privately by the Taiwei Mansion before they can pass the checkpoints along the road, otherwise not only will the property be confiscated, but it will also be difficult to protect their lives. The bulk trade of salt and iron is all controlled by Gao Yu, and others cannot touch it, and if you touch it, you will die. The benefits of the Qilin Order, the salt and iron markets, more than one million a year, if His Majesty recovers the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, everything will be in vain. ”

There are thousands of relatives in the Imperial City Division, who are responsible for monitoring hundreds of officials and investigating intelligence, Gao Yu's activities in the north, Zhao Ji has already heard about it, but he has been turning a blind eye.

Bang~

Zhao Ji couldn't suppress his anger anymore, grabbed the stone inkstone on the bookcase and threw it on the ground, it was still insufficient, and he pushed it hard, pushing the entire bookcase to the ground, and the furnishings on the bookcase fell to the ground with a bang.

Gao Yu has followed Zhao Ji for 20 years, and the friendship between the two is actually quite deep, and now I hear that Gao Yu is actually the mastermind of this rebellion, so how can he not be angry?

After a long time, Zhao Ji calmed down slightly, and asked angrily, "Who else is involved?" ”

Zhao Hao said respectfully: "No other officials have been found to be involved. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes were full of murderous energy, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Kill, all the doors are beheaded!" ”

"Obey the order!"

A big stone in Zhao Hao's heart finally landed.
