Chapter 279: Killing

Returning to the Condensation Palace, Zhao Ji no longer concealed the excitement on his face, and immediately ordered the eunuchs waiting in the hall to prepare the four treasures of the study.

Obviously, our Great Song Dynasty artist emperor is going to recite poetry.

However, before the ink was polished, a rumor was heard outside the house.

Messenger sent Zhang Di to ask for a meeting!

Immediately, Zhang Di, who was haggard and dusty, walked in, and as soon as he saw Zhao Ji, he fell to the ground: "The old slave visits the official family, and wishes the official family ten thousand years!" ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Ziqi (Zhang Dizi) has worked hard all the way, get up!" ”

Who knew that Zhang Di fell to the ground and cried: "The old slave deserves to die for his crimes, and he also asks the official family to give him his crimes!" ”

Zhao Ji looked stunned, only then did he see Zhang Di look like this, he looked very depressed, and hurriedly asked, "Ziqi invited, what is the reason?" ”

Zhang Di sobbed and told the story of the thief who he met on the road, poured sweat medicine, and snatched the horse and the holy decree.

Zhao Ji's face changed, and he asked, "The holy decree has not been transmitted?" ”

Zhang Di cried: "Exactly, please give the official family!" ”

Zhao Ji asked, "Can you see Tong Daofu?" ”

Zhang Di hung his head and said: "The army has left Mozhou, and I have never seen Xuan Shuai, but I have only seen two deputy envoys in Mozhou City. ”

Zhao Ji was stunned again: "The two deputy envoys did not go out with the army? ”

Zhang Di said: "The two deputy envoys suddenly had diarrhea before leaving, and they were suspected of being ...... croton."

Zhao Ji's face changed again, and then asked, "Have you heard the news of Tong Daofu in Mozhou City?" ”

Zhang Di's face darkened, and he said hesitantly: "This ......"

Zhao Ji said angrily: "Speak! ”

Zhang Di then said: "The old slave also found some rumors in Mozhou City, it is said that since Tong Xuanshuai set out on the expedition, everything has been decided by the Duke of Longde County, and the old slave also heard that ......"

The expression on Zhao Ji's face became more and more solemn, and he asked, "What did you hear?" ”

"Xuan Shuai entered Xiongzhou City and never left the city again...... All the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are dispatched by Zhao Jungong, and the troop arrangement and strategic arrangement are all subject to Zhao Jungong's orders......"

"What?" Zhao Ji's face changed greatly, he grabbed the merit recital in front of him, threw it in front of Zhang Di, and asked, "Why is this recital, but it is said that Tong Daofu personally led the three armies to fight and defeated the Liao army at the Baigou River?" Who is deceiving me? ”

Zhang Di said hurriedly: "The old slave is also hearsay, I dare not be sure. But...... The old slave's holy decree was stolen, and the two deputy envoys were jawed, and now the battle of the Baigou River does not mention the Duke of Longde County, whether it is a coincidence or artificial, and the old slave does not know......"

There was no trace of a smile on Zhao Ji's face.

After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Stand down!" ”

……

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Hundreds of officials gathered in the vertical arch hall and lined up to wait for Zhao Ji to go to court.

After a while, Zhao Ji came slowly surrounded by Liang Shicheng and the eunuchs, but his face was relatively gloomy, and he did not bring any joy at all because of the victory over the Liao.

In any case, whether Zhao Hao is the protector god or the first favorite minister, for Zhao Ji, he is just a pawn to use after all. The reason why Zhao Hao is favored is nothing more than that he can bring Zhao Ji all kinds of benefits, such as money, prestige, health, beauty and various enjoyments, as well as balancing the various forces in the DPRK and China, so that Zhao Ji can do a balanced way. But one day, when Zhao Ji suddenly felt that Zhao Hao's chess piece was out of control, it was very terrible for Zhao Ji.

The legend of the candle shadow axe, the emperors of the past dynasties were also extremely strict with the clan, and now Zhao Hao has not only become the only official in the clan, but also led the troops to fight several times, which has been unprecedented in the 140 years since Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne.

Zhao Ji favors Zhao Hao, which does not mean that Zhao Ji has no heart to guard against it at all. In fact, let Zhao Hao serve as the commander of the three armies, and when Zhao Ji calmed down afterwards, he regretted it. However, I still thought in my heart that the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces was Tong Guan after all, and the commander of the capital was only responsible for formulating the combat policy for the battle. Who knew that Zhao Hao didn't know how to converge and advance and retreat, and it was already a very serious matter for Zhao Hao to dominate the guests and take over the kitchen.

If Zhao Hao is just noisy and overpowering Tong Guan, maybe there is a little bit of young madness in it, and the holy decree was stolen, the two deputy envoys of the prison army were jawed beans, the battle of Baigou River deliberately concealed Zhao Hao's merits, and the behind-the-scenes instigators of the three things pointed directly at Zhao Hao, if this is the case, then it is not a young madman, but a deliberate act, a conspiracy!

Zhao Hao didn't know how to advance or retreat, forcibly controlled the three armies, and deliberately blocked the surveillance of the holy decree and the prison army, what did he want to do?

This is the problem that Zhao Ji can't sleep after thinking about it all night.

Seeing Zhao Ji coming, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

After the monarch and ministers saluted, Cai Jing took the lead and said loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the battle of Baigou River, killing 30,000 enemies, the Liao people fled from the wind, and recovered the sixteen states of Youyun, which is just around the corner, and this is the blessing of the saint!" ”

Before the words fell, Cai Jing and his party came out one after another, and the voices of congratulations were like a tide, and all kinds of words about Zhao Ji's horses filled the entire hall.

If it was in the past, Zhao Ji would definitely be Longyan Dayue, but at this moment, he just smiled reluctantly and waved his hand casually, which was regarded as a gesture to the hundred officials.

The hundred officials behind Cai Jing retreated to their original positions in turn, only Cai Jing was still still, and Liang Shicheng asked suspiciously: "Does my husband still have a plan to play?" ”

Cai Jing didn't seem to see Zhao Ji's displeased look, and said indifferently: "Exactly!" ”

"Please!"

But seeing Cai Jing straighten his purple robe and clear his throat, he said loudly: "The battle of Baigou River washed away the shame of my Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and it was really a great joy for my dynasty." However, the commander of this battle is my Great Song Dynasty, and I will raise the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty, so the old minister will ask His Majesty to reward the Duke of Longde County and reward the Northern Expedition army, so as to stimulate the morale of the three armies, and go straight to Yanjing, and then recover the entire territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, with the wish of all the ancestors and ancestors! ”

Before the words fell, Wang Huang on the side was displeased, and said angrily: "My husband's words are ridiculous, the commander of the Northern Expedition is Tong Xuanshuai, when did he become the prince of Longde County?" The recital of the Duke of Longde County also made it clear that this battle is the full merit of Xuan Shuai, and the husband wants to pull out the discord? ”

Hahaha~

Cai Jing let out a burst of wild laughter and said coldly: "Xianggong Wang, it's not advisable to cover your ears and steal the bell!" As soon as Tong Xuanshuai entered Xiongzhou City, he did not go out of the city for half a step, the three armies listened to the dispatch of the Duke of Longde County, the battle of Baigou River, the Duke of Longde County was the first soldier, and he fought hard to kill the hinterland of the enemy, what face did Tong Xuanshuai dare to call the whole merit? Besides, there is only a Lund County Gong, and I haven't seen Tong Xuanshuai's recital, I'm afraid that Tong Xuanshuai is still sleeping in Xiongzhou City at this time, where did he get the kung fu to write the recital, and Xuanshuai has not gone out of the city for half a step, where to start writing the recital? ”

Wang Hao couldn't help but be furious: "My husband is talking nonsense to each other!" ”

The two were above the court and immediately quarreled fiercely.

The more Zhao Ji listened, the more angry he became, and he immediately stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked away!

Liang Shicheng was stunned, looked at the stunned officials, and had to shout: "Retreat!" ”

……

When he returned to the palace, Zhao Ji was still full of resentment, and he only felt that there was a fire of ignorance burning in his heart, and he was impetuous and very bored.

Bang!

Zhao Ji struggled to punch and smashed on the bookcase, but he was still angry, grabbed an item on the bookcase and was about to smash it out, but suddenly stopped.

What he grasped in his hand was a priceless treasure, the copper galloping horse in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhao Hao confiscated the property of Zhang Yue's family in Xiantai, North Beijing Road.

The image of the copper galloping horse is vigorous and handsome, and it has a unique style. The horse neighs with its head held high, its torso is strong and its limbs are slender, its legs and hooves are light, and its three legs are soaring and galloping forward, and one foot is stepping on the swallow. People are called Ma Ta Feiyan, when he was hidden in Zhang Yue's mansion, some people had to buy it with 100,000 yuan but couldn't.

Zhao Ji looked at the horse stepping on the Feiyan copper galloping horse, and suddenly like a deflated ball, he slowly put the copper galloping horse on the bookcase, turned back to the trembling little eunuch beside him and said, "Pass Zhang Di, I want to go out of the palace for a walk." ”

Zhao Ji, a merry emperor, naturally only can't be idle in the deep palace, and every time he goes out of the palace without permission, he takes Zhang Di with him.

After a while, Zhao Ji had already changed into a Confucian shirt, dressed as a middle-aged scribe, and came to the Bianhe River under the escort of more than a dozen masters of the Great Interior.

On both sides of the Bianhe River, as in the past, it is prosperous and colorful.

Zhao Ji chose an expensive and elegant painting boat, boarded the painting boat with everyone, and entered the hall of the cabin.

In the hall, the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant, and there are pretty singers, and the delicate voice is like a yellow bird, which is refreshing.

Zhao Ji found a table near the window of the boat, asked for a table of wine and food, and while listening to the singer's singing, he turned his head to enjoy the colorful river, and the troubles in his heart suddenly subsided a lot.

In the hall, there are not many guests, most of them are rich sons, scholars and literati, or talking loudly, or reciting poems, but there are not many people like Zhao Ji who drink stuffy.

Soon, the voices of several scholars at the adjacent table attracted Zhao Ji's attention.

"Happy, happy, my Great Song Dynasty has been suppressed by the Liao people for more than 100 years, and today's son is in the battle of Baigou River, killing the Liao people to lose their armor and abandon their armor, and they don't dare to look north, it's just too happy, when the floating white!"

A young man wearing a white jade crown slapped the table, said excitedly, and then raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

"Didn't you say that this battle was the complete work of Tong Shuxiang?" A gentleman wearing a pin on the side asked.

"Tong Shuxiang, hehe......" Another scholar in a blue Confucian shirt laughed coldly, "This is just a cover for the son, I am very strict against the clan, if the prince does not do this, can he be on the ground?" When Tong Guan conquered Western Xia, it was only a miserable victory, General Liu Fa died in battle, and almost the entire army was wiped out, why not say it? With his Tong Guan, he can win a big victory of 30,000 and less than 5,000? ”

"In the city, who doesn't know that this is the son's war exploits, and everyone's hearts are bright. According to the news from the north, Tong Xuanshuai didn't even take half a step out of Xiongzhou City, and the victory of Baigou River had anything to do with him? ”

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, just as I am talking excitedly, Zhao Ji's face has changed greatly, and he can't sit still anymore, so he led Zhang Di and everyone away.
