Zhu Mian was originally born in the low-level working people but entered the court, first took refuge in Cai Jing, and then switched to Gao Yu's family, all the way to the top, the official fortune was prosperous, and he used power for personal gain, and he did everything possible to seize and rob, accumulate private property, and live a rotten life.

Now, he is in the position of the envoy of the Weiyuan Festival, and the official residence is from the second grade. When Zhu Mian became an official, he didn't think about the people, but because he had more power, more personal gains, and a windfall. In his opinion, as long as Song Huizong is coaxed, he can rise to prominence, and all this is also instructed by the crown prince Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan wanted to take this opportunity to test Song Huizong's attitude, and tested Zhao Gou again. If Song Huizong has a clear attitude and no longer likes the strange stones in the world, then he will have to change his strategy; If Song Huizong did not change at all, Zhao Gou would anger Long Yan if he stood up, and he would inevitably be punished.

It's a pity that the prince Zhao Huan's strategy was not implemented, but Zhu Mian was unexpectedly promoted to the envoy of Weiyuan Festival, and Zhu Mian was appointed to the bureau. In addition, Zhu Mian was also issued by Song Huizong a holy decree, asking him to go to Suzhou to take charge of his affairs and pay tribute to Huashigang to build a garden.

On the first day of Zhao Gou's reign, he was smiling, and he never made a speech from beginning to end, even if he knew that he should be restored, Song Huizong continued to collect Huashi Gang. Zhao Gou still stood still, standing by and watching, only he knew what he was thinking.

After the early dynasty said this, and then dispersed.

The ministers of the court who were attached to the crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu and others came to congratulate Zhu Mian on his promotion, and Zhu Mian responded with a smile. Zhao Gou and the others turned around and left, unwilling to stay here for longer, glanced at Zhu Mian deeply, sneered, and said secretly: "It's just the beginning now, you can enjoy the last time!" ”

That night, Zhu Mian held a banquet and invited the courtiers to gather, but Zhao Gou and his forces did not receive the invitation. However, Zhao Gou didn't think so, such a gathering was dispensable for him, and what he had to do was something else.

"Steward Wang, you let Gong Cang come to see me!" Zhao Gou returned to the mansion and immediately ordered Wang Wudao.

Wang Wu bowed down and left, hurriedly brought Gong Cang, and said, "Back to the young master, Gong Cang is here!" ”

Gong Cang said: "Young master, what is the matter with your subordinates coming here?" ”

Zhao said: "Gong Cang, you take my letter to a place, and it must be handed over to the letter, and then you stay there, and when the matter is almost settled, you will go back to Beijing to report the situation to me." In addition, you go with 100,000 taels of silver tickets. ”

Gong Cang nodded, then turned to leave.

Zhao Gou looked at the back of Gong Cang's departure, and muttered to himself: "Zhu Mian, you are the key to my re-entry into the court, and I really thank you for your help." If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have had the chance. Of course, I also want to thank my good big brother, what a plan! ”

The reason why he did not express his opinion in the court and did not dissuade him guessed that it was a trap. Zhao Gou is not uncommon, and such a scheme is accustomed to it in later generations. Moreover, Zhao Gou saw that his father was a little happy on the surface, but there was no joy in his eyes, so he guessed that these things were all illusions, used to confuse everyone, telling them that he was still the emperor and had not changed.

Zhao Gocai didn't take any action, in his opinion, Huashigang worked hard and hurt the people and money, and should not continue to collect. However, Song Huizong gladly accepted Zhu Mian's proposal, and also promoted the envoy of Weiyuan Festival, and sent him to Suzhou, in charge of the affairs of the bureau, and continued to collect tribute from Huashigang.

With his understanding of his father, he would not be so mediocre. If there was no previous relationship, perhaps Zhao Gou was also deceived by the appearance of his father, just like Song Huizong in history, after real contact, he found that his father was not as simple as it seemed, and it was really hidden.

Since his father and emperor are acting, why should Zhao Gou interfere. If he really spoke out to stop it, he was afraid that the prince Zhao Huan and others would definitely not let him go, so Zhao Gou never said a word, just waiting for the changes.

Zhao Gou smiled weirdly and said, "Since you want to play, then I will accompany you to the end, but this time I want to see who kills the deer!" ”

In the next two months, Zhao Gou was still in the court, and he was still silent, which made the crown prince Zhao Huan and others inexplicable, and they always felt that something was strange, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

"King Jun, why have you ignored everything in the past two months? What the hell is going on? Liu Qi said in a deep voice, he, Yang Yizhong, and Wu Lan stayed in Beijing to hold official positions, and the position was not high but had unexpected effects.

Zhao Gou understood the reason why his father left the three of them by his side, just because the three of them represented a force behind them, and these people were not attached to any force, which was also the help that Zhao Ji left for him. Sure enough, after Fang La's incident, the families of the three of them no longer blocked contact with Zhao Gou, but had a close relationship with him.

Zhao Gou appeared in their mansion from time to time as a guest, that is, in order to win over each other. This time, Yang Yizhong, Liu Qi, and Wu Lan gathered in Zhao Gou's mansion, their official positions were not high, and they could not enter the court, but when they heard their fathers return to the house to explain the situation, they came happily and wanted to ask clearly.

"Three brothers, don't be in a hurry!" Zhao Gou saw that the three of them were anxious, and said comfortingly.

Yang Yizhong hurriedly said: "King Jun, if this continues, I'm afraid that our power in the court will be wiped out." ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said nothing, he didn't have any expression on his face, and he was also anxious, just because there was not much time left. Zhao Gou knew that there were some things that could not be rushed and had to wait. It was only at this time that Zhao Gou understood that waiting was also a painful thing.

Wu Lan answered: "If it goes on like this, people's hearts will be scattered, and I am afraid that there will be danger!" ”

Zhao Gou knew what the three of them were worried about, and Yang Yizhong, Liu Qi, and Wu Lan entered three of the Shangshu Province respectively, namely the Military Department, the Officials Department, and the Criminal Department. Although the positions of the three of them are not high, they have attracted many people in the three ministries, and they are all lowly officials.

Don't underestimate these people, they are well-informed people and have a wide range of friends. Although the three of them have some relationship with Zhao Gou, the forces they rely on behind them make it difficult for the crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu and others to do too much, so they let them act.

The actions of the three of them were also guided by their fathers, and Zhao Gou had also seen this list, there were many three sects and nine streams, but there were not too many people who really satisfied him, only a few people. Now, after two months, Zhao Gou's forces have gradually formed a small force, which is carried out in secret, and they dare not blatantly support Zhao Gou, and these people have a humble status, so they can't get into the eyes of the crown prince Zhao Huan at all.

Zhao Gou glanced at it, saw that Liu Qi and the other three were anxious, and said loudly: "Three brothers, wait a minute, I will definitely give you a good news." Don't think that these two months are really just going to the court, not participating in anything, but the time has not come. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Liu Qi asked straight to the point: "The time has not come?" What the hell are you waiting for? ”

Zhao Xian wanted to continue talking, but heard the Wang steward outside shouting: "Young master, Gong Cang is back!" ”

"Let him in!" Zhao Gou was overjoyed, glanced at Liu Qi and the other three with a smile, and smiled mysteriously: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the next thing is the real beginning!" ……”
