Zhao Ji of Song Huizong agreed to Zhao Gou's request and allowed him to enter the court as an official. Zhao Gou has a clear attitude, and he can hold the position of a military general, regardless of whether he is high or low. At the same time, Zhao Gou discussed with Song Huizong and Zhao Qi, and said: "Father, the martial arts assessment will be held soon, and the child wants to be the invigilator of this martial arts assessment, I don't know what my father thinks?" ”

Song Huizong and Zhao seemed to look at each other, and said suspiciously: "You want to become the invigilator of this martial arts?" Then do you know that the martial arts examination and the imperial examination are the two important things of the Great Song Dynasty, which can not be held by ordinary officials, and they need to be respected people! ”

"It is precisely because the martial arts scientific examination is very important that I have the opportunity to really enter the court, and the child's wish is to become a marshal and lead the army to protect my Song Dynasty!" Zhao Gou said calmly, "It's a pity that over the years, the people who have served as martial arts invigilators in the court and the central government are all civil ministers, and they are very selfish, so they take this opportunity to suppress the generals and cannot get the importance of the court, so they want to change, the balance can only be reused meritocracy, and the ambitious people of the wolf should be eliminated by thunderous means!" ”

In addition, the child wants to be the invigilator of martial arts, but it is very thoughtful. Since the child wants to use the military attache to enter the court as an official, then he must get the support of the military generals, only the military assessment is the only way, to the cousin emperor to reuse the virtuous people, although there are marshals such as Zong Ze in the court, his is not in the court, guarding the border, how can he be comparable to the civil officials! ”

Zhao Gou said a lot of things, and took out the letter handed over to him by Zhou Tong from his arms, and said: "This letter was handed over to me by the master before his death, and I also asked my father and uncle Wang to take a look!" ”

Song Huizong and Zhao seemed to take it apart curiously, and after reading it, Zhao Ji said bitterly: "Under my governance, there are people who want to start an uprising, and I am wrong!" ”

Zhao seemed to be silent, and what Zhao Gou showed the two of them was the letter written by Lu Junyi to Zhou Tong before, which contained a list of people who gathered righteousness. However, Zhao Gou didn't know that several of these people were officials in the same dynasty as Zhao and had a very close personal relationship.

Zhao Gou soothed: "Father, don't worry too much about this matter!" If the child wants to become a martial arts invigilator, he wants to select capable people, and then personally lead the troops to Shuibo Liangshan. If a group of them can be subdued and recruited to the court, it will definitely be a big help. Moreover, nine out of ten of these people have some old feelings with their ancestors. As long as the child personally leads the army to press the border and deal with this matter quietly, without the knowledge of the people of the world, it is beneficial to us, and the Great Song Dynasty can be stable, and then with these people, the forces led by Gao Yu will be rounded to the end! ”

Song Huizong sighed: "Everything will be done according to your wishes, you rest early, and tomorrow I will issue an edict in the court to appoint you as the invigilator of this martial arts examination!" ”

Zhao Gou was in a hurry, he was in a hurry, and he was really a little tired, so he said goodbye and went back to rest. Along the way, he was careful not to be seen. After a while, Zhao Gou came to the room where he had lived for three years, and when he came back again, his heart was a little more comfortable and peaceful, and he lay down comfortably on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

"Brother Huang, have you decided?" Zhao said coldly.

Song Huizong nodded and said, "Lao Jiu can take on the person who can take on the heavy responsibility, and the Great Song Jiangshan Sheji can only pin his trust on him." ”

Zhao nodded in agreement: "Lao Jiu does have this ability, and after coming back this time, he has become more sophisticated, even if it is a major event in the DPRK and China, he can analyze the reasons in an orderly manner, and there is no one who has this mind among many nephews." However, the queen mother who is worried about the younger brothers, they are also a force that should not be underestimated, if it really makes trouble, I am afraid that the harem will change, and it will be unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Song Huizong nodded yes, he also knew that the queen's power had developed rapidly in recent years, and most of the ministers in the court stood behind her and supported the eldest son to inherit the throne. The only candidate in Zhao Ji's heart is Zhao Gou, just because the emperor's eldest son Zhao Heng has a close relationship with Gao Yu, he has already reached the age of crowning and was crowned king.

Zhao seems to be worried about things that are not unreasonable, even if Zhao Ji himself is the emperor, sometimes he can't help himself. If there is no support from these ministers, then he is the commander of the light pole, and he will not have any real power, frowning, and said in a deep voice: "The affairs of the queen are indeed a little troublesome, even the ministers of the court and the central government have moved closer to the eldest son, and have proposed to set up the crown prince several times, I am also annoyed!" ”

"In that case, what should we do?" Zhao seemed to say, "Brother Huang, there is one more thing!" Lao Jiu asked me about the villa on the way back to the palace, and I prevaricated, and I thought it was time to tell him. ”

Song Huizong shook his head and sighed: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, the time is not yet ripe." If you tell him rashly, or let Lao Jiu have too much power in his hands, he will not understand the sinister hearts of people, let him hone more, and after the crown, talk to him again, it must be much better than saying it now. ”

Zhao Yi nodded, thinking about it, he felt that Zhao Ji was right, and was about to continue, when he was angry, he hurriedly covered his chest with his hands, his face was pale, and his face overflowed with blood.

"Ahem! ……”

Song Huizong said: "Haven't you fully recovered from your injuries? ”

Zhao Ru wiped the blood from his mouth and face, and said indifferently: "It's been so long, this injury will stay on me forever, and I'm used to it!" ”

"Thirteenth brother, thanks to you all these years. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to stand alone! Song Huizong sighed.

"Brother Huang, you don't have to worry about the injury of your brother!" Zhao Ru smiled, "No matter what, I have to hold on until that time, otherwise what face will I have to see my father!" ”

Song Huizong and Cai Wang were not born to the same mother, but also the brothers of the same father. The two have the same ambition, but Zhao seemed to be seriously ill and almost died last time, and although he did not die that time, he also left behind old troubles. Every rainy weather will be dull pain, this time I don't know why, why did it happen, if it wasn't for Zhao seems to have learned martial arts, his body is different from ordinary people, I'm afraid he would have died. It's just that the tough body has been getting weaker and weaker in recent years, and Song Huizong knows that there is no way to go on like this, and there is nothing to be done.

The next day, Song Huizong changed his previous style, no longer immersed in calligraphy and painting, and went to court early. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was stunned, and Song Huizong, who had not been in court for several months, appeared in front of everyone again, and even Gao Yu was a little surprised: "Why is the emperor listening to the government today?" ”

Song Huizong reused Gao Yu and let him rise to the top. Gao Yu also lived up to his expectations, and was stunned to be in charge of the government as a captain. No matter how big or small, he will handle everything on behalf of the emperor, as if the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, just like Cai Jing, and even surpassing Cai Jing at the beginning. Moreover, many ministers of civil and military affairs are looking forward to Gao Yu, and what Cai Jing did not do, Gao Yu did.

At the beginning, Cai Jing's power was huge, and even Song Huizong was afraid of three points, and he didn't dare to do too much, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and with the help of other ministers, he got rid of him. Cai Jing walked alone, which made everyone afraid, and if he made too many enemies in the DPRK and China, he would fall and scatter.

Gao Yu learned from Cai Jing's failure and shared it with everyone, taking a tactful path. Moreover, Gao Yu was loyal to Song Huizong, never caring about personal gains and losses, so that he had a good reputation among the hundred officials, and there were very few people who opposed him, even Song Huizong couldn't catch his handle, there was no way to deal with him at all, and there was no excuse, so he could only let Gao Yu's power expand day by day.

If it was just to deal with Gao Yu alone, Song Huizong could still do it. It's just that it's easy to deal with him alone, and it's difficult to uproot his power. If it is not handled properly, it will be revived, the government and the opposition will be shaken, even the people say that he is a faint king, and then the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably experience a big cholera, so he can only rely on Gao Yu, and bury himself in the art of calligraphy and painting, but his mood is getting heavier and heavier, and he can't sleep and eat all day long.

Song Huizong sat on the dragon chair, dressed in a golden dragon robe, majestic, holding his head high, glanced at the ministers lightly, saw their stunned expressions, and said majestically: "Go to the court!" ”
