The starry sky gradually dimmed, and the morning star hung high in the sky, making it even more dazzling. The hot summer has ushered in the middle of the year, and it is also a day of unbearable heat. People in this season have to get up earlier than usual, Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou got up and retired after seeing the sky, and went to the side hall to wait for the court to summon them.

The eunuch led the way ahead, and it looked a little weird when he was originally wearing a lantern; At this time, the day came early, even if it was five or six o'clock, the sky was already slightly bright, and it was not real to see the lantern, so Zhao thought about it and asked them to extinguish the lantern, and then let them retreat.

"Li Bangyan's death, presumably the ministers already know, and then it's up to the prince to do it?" Zhao Yougong saw that Zhao Gou had opened the eunuch, and when there was no one around, he smiled straight to the point, he remembered that the prince Zhao Huan was in the court with a blue face, and he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so he was very happy in his heart.

Zhao Gou turned his head and smiled slightly: "Cousin, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Why be afraid? Since I was a child, I have never been afraid; Even if he is the crown prince, I may not be much worse than him! Zhao Yougong glared and replied confidently.

Zhao Gou laughed, squinted his eyes and said, "No wonder Uncle Thirteen said that you are not afraid of heaven and earth, and it is true!" …… However, Li Bangyan's death is a trivial matter, and the real important thing is later. Even if the initiative is in our hands, I am afraid that they will not sit idly by. ”

"This time, we were unprepared for the surprise, which caught Li Bangyan off guard; I'm afraid that this move will not have an effect on others, so I can only choose other moves. Besides, the prince is not a good stubble, and the other people are not good either, they will never be caught with their hands tied, and they are bound to take action. ”

Zhao Yougong said solemnly: "This operation is mainly carried out by you, and they are bound to get rid of you as soon as possible without knowing it; Judging from Li Bangyan's death, I am afraid that they are already in a hurry to jump over the wall, and if they are forced to do so, they are afraid that the soldiers will make dangerous moves, and they will take the risk to get rid of you before they stop! ”

Zhao Gou smiled confidently: "Do you think I will be afraid if they really do that?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Zhao Yougong replied without hesitation, he had personally seen Zhao Gou's martial arts, and even if the crown prince Zhao Huan sent someone to assassinate him, he would not hurt him; Taking 10,000 steps back, Zhao Gou's martial arts are enough to deal with all assassination operations, so there is no need to worry at all.

"Isn't that it?" Zhao Gou's face became a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about acting secretly, just be afraid of coming openly, you must know that the forces in their hands have been cut off a lot by me, but I am afraid that they are also their outcasts, which has helped them to streamline a lot, and those who remain are some difficult and conspiratorial people." ”

Zhao Yougong understands Zhao Go's words, and his consideration is not unreasonable. If the crown prince Zhao Huan really made a dangerous move and secretly sent someone to assassinate him, he would not be afraid of Zhao Gou's martial arts at all; If he didn't use this trick and used another trick to attack directly from the court, then it was really impossible to prevent it.

"Now, the most important thing for us is to restrain the people below and not make any mistakes. If they are caught, they are afraid that they will inevitably be publicized through their mouths, and when the pressure from the court roars, I am afraid that my father will be difficult to resist, so I have to do it as a last resort, and the plan for today is to 'respond to all changes with the same'! ”

Zhao Yougong said approvingly: "What a 'change with the same'!" ”

Zhao Gobinggui quickly took down Li Bangyan, he was ******** even the emperor didn't say hello, and took it directly, it can be seen that he doesn't care about this, which means that the emperor is supporting him in the back, so he doesn't have to worry; Everyone knew who Li Bangyan was, and when he was arrested and killed by the crown prince Zhao Huan, Zhao Gou confronted him head-on, which was equivalent to declaring war.

Now that Li Bangyan is dead, the crown prince Zhao Huan is missing a eunuch who serves in the palace, and he is still a high-ranking person, so there is one less person to listen to the news. In this way, the actions of the crown prince Zhao Huan will be reduced, and he will not be able to know the emperor's whereabouts and thoughts at the first time, so everything will return to the original point.

In addition, Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan declared war head-on, it seems that there is no wind and grass, in fact, it has officially begun, from tomorrow, the only fortunate thing is that Zhao Gou has the initiative, and Zhao Huan is passive. If you want to be invincible, the only way to turn passive into active is to guess that Zhao Huan will inevitably take action, even if he can endure it, others are unwilling to endure it anymore, because no one knows that he will be next if he endures it any longer.

"So, what are we going to do when we wait for the court?" Zhao Yougong asked in a low voice.

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "We don't have to do anything later, just keep our eyes open and watch the play, there will inevitably be a big show waiting for us to watch!" ”

"Watching a play?" Zhao Yougong looked at Zhao Gou puzzled, looking a little puzzled.

Zhao Gou explained: "Yes, it's just watching a play! ”

After Zhao Gou's explanation, Zhao Yougong understood what was going on, and he felt right when he thought about it. You must know that Li Bangyan is the person of the crown prince Zhao Huan, no matter what, he will not hesitate to stand on Zhao Huan's side, even if he is ********, he still has an official position, and he can still speak in the court.

Now that Li Bangyan's death is only known to a few people, they will not really be stupid enough to say that it was the crown prince Zhao Huan who sent someone to assassinate him, if Li Bangyan did not do enough this time, then the next ministers will have opinions about him. From Zhu Mian, Tong Guan to Li Bangyan, the three people who died one after another are still one of the most important people in the prince's group, and if they don't say anything, they will show Zhao Huan's indifference and selfishness.

This is the time for Zhao Huan to show his ability, and it is also the time to win people's hearts, and whether he succeeds or fails will be known at this court meeting. Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong came to be surprised to find that there were already several officials in the side hall, and they were stunned when they saw Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong coming together; After a moment, they were relieved again.

Everyone stepped forward and bowed down and shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”

"Excuse me!" Zhao Gou came with the mentality of watching the play, and was in a particularly good mood, and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency also came so early?" ”

Everyone hurriedly replied, "It's not too late for the king of the county!" ”

The crowd was embarrassed, and they were all worried about what happened last night, knowing that they already knew what had happened last night. Moreover, the parties also talked and laughed with them as if they were nothing; Recalling the scene of Li Bangyan's arrest, everyone's hearts tightened and trembled, for fear that they would become next.

Everyone looked at Zhao Gou's gaze with a little fear, knowing that Zhao Gou's methods deeply frightened them; As for Zhao Yougong, the king of Chu, he had a cold face that no one should enter, so that they didn't dare to come forward to say hello. Zhao Gou didn't embarrass them, smiled and stopped talking.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong sat on the chairs, one with a cold face, the other with a smile, no matter how they looked, they felt that the smile was cold, like an unsheathed blade, killing people without blood. Due to the arrival of the two of them, the topics discussed before did not dare to say much now, and the atmosphere of the whole side hall was depressed, like sitting on pins and needles, fidgeting and wanting to go but not daring to leave, wanting to speak but not daring to say more, so they had to remain silent, they did not dare to joke with their own lives.
