The crown prince Zhao Huan trembled and was frightened, he held a lot of power, and when he saw his father's cold gaze, he was still frightened, what made him happy was that his father did not reproach him in person, and left him a little thin face. As for the official position of the Privy Councillor, he wanted to get it at his fingertips, and he didn't care about it.

Gao Yu was also frightened, he didn't expect that Zhu Mian's affairs would involve a lot, and the entire court was shaken. After Zhu Mian's turmoil, which swept through the court, the forces around the crown prince Zhao Huan were also scattered piecemeal, and the two highest positions in the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province were replaced.

"The emperor's trick of 'drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle' is really clever, quietly controlling the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province, and hitting the prince hard, I am afraid that the next step is to support the king of Guangping County to ascend the throne. If this is really the case, I am afraid that the emperor's heart is still biased towards the king of Guangping County, and the situation is worrying! ”

Gao Yu frowned, lowered his head and pondered, thinking of this, his whole body was shocked, and his eyes were smeared with a layer of sorrow. All along, they thought that the emperor was really watching from the sidelines, allowing the two brothers to compete for the throne; Judging from the current situation, Song Huizong's heart is still biased towards Zhao Gou.

If this is really the case, I am afraid that this time Zhu Mian's matter will not be as simple as it seems. Gao Yu had some doubts in his heart, this was a play jointly performed by the emperor and the king of Guangping County. Now, the crown prince Zhao Huan has no real power in his hands, all military power and political power have been deprived, and the positions of the Privy Council envoy and the governor are vacant.

Previously, the governor of Zhongshu Province has never been replaced, and there is a temporary replacement of Shangshu Wang Huang. It's good now, but in the end, there was a lot of joy, but it became Song Huizong's power. In this turmoil, the biggest beneficiary is the current emperor.

Originally, the crown prince Zhao Huan and others joined forces to control the government, and they didn't want this turmoil not only to make Song Huizong break this situation, but also put them in a dilemma. Moreover, this turmoil also fulfilled Zhao Gou, but Zhao Huan suffered heavy losses.

Song Huizong originally planned to turn a blind eye and let Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou compete for the throne, but he did not plan to intervene. However, the information brought by Zhao seems to have brought from Suzhou told him that Zhu Mian was doing something wrong in the local area, and at that time he had the intention to kill him, but the time was not ripe.

While Zhao seems to be investigating Zhu Mian, he also found that there is a force in the dark that is also investigating, and in the end, each other's well water does not interfere with the river water. Today, the transcript and evidence of Zhao Gou in the previous dynasty greatly surprised Song Huizong, and he also remembered what Zhao seemed to say.

"Brother Huang, the spies sent to Suzhou by the younger brother reported that Zhu Mian did not say anything wrong, but also in the name of tribute, forcibly seized and occupied fertile land, and the officials in the southeast region were all counted by him, as if they regarded the southeast region as their own territory."

Zhao seemed to be surprised: "In addition, there is one more thing to clarify with the imperial brother, the spy I sent said that not only will we investigate Zhu Mian again, but there is also an unknown force that is investigating." Moreover, the man also said that he saw people from the old Jiufu in Suzhou. ”

Song Huizong was surprised: "The people on the Old Nine Mansions? So, that force is Lao Jiu's? But how is this possible? ”

Zhao seemed to think for a while and said, "Brother Huang, that person didn't find out what was going on with that force, so he didn't let us go any further." If it's really Lao Jiu's people, that's really a good thing. If he didn't guess wrong, Lao Jiu waited quietly for more than a month, afraid that he would soon start the operation. ”

Song Huizong smiled undeniably, the only thing he couldn't figure out was when Zhao Gou had such a group of forces hidden in the shadows. However, it didn't hurt for him, but he was happy. If those people are really Zhao Gou's, it means that Lao Jiu, who has been waiting for more than a month and has been silent all day long, is finally going to act, and he is still resolute.

Song Huizong was very pleased and approving: "Such a person is worthy of the throne, and Lao Jiu has lived up to my expectations." ”

Zhao Ru said: "Brother Huang, then what should I do next?" ”

"Withdraw all the people you sent out, if it is really Lao Jiu's doing, you will be able to see it in a few days. Since he wanted to make a move, we didn't have to intervene. However, it's okay in this way, if you really don't do anything, then you will be beaten passively, and how can you fight with the prince and others. ”

Zhao seemed to nodded, he knew what the imperial brother meant, and he didn't object. Song Huizong watched Zhao Qi leave, looked at the information in his hand again, and said lightly: "It's time to strike, I won't come forward again, I'm afraid that nothing will happen to the Great Song Dynasty in the future!" ”

It just so happened that the evidence that Zhao Gou took out showed that the force was his person, Song Huizong also guessed it in his heart, but his face was silent, until the evidence was in front of him, he knew that Zhu Mian's wolf ambition was just that, and he actually made a lot of complaints, and his anger was not pretended, but really angry.

"Where is the hussar general Zhao Gou?" Song Huizong said solemnly.

Zhao Gou bowed and replied: "The minister is here!" ”

"It's time for the Great Song Dynasty to put things in order!" Song Huizong said lightly, "You have participated in the meritorious performance, and I have given you the position of supervising the imperial history, and investigating any ministers in the Qing Dynasty who have favoritism and corruption." If it is verified, I will give you the right to cut first and then play. ”

"Come forward!"

Zhao Gou stepped forward respectfully, Song Huizong stood up from the dragon chair, and said in a straight voice: "I have given you the sword of Ru Shangfang, if I come in person, you have the right to dispose of any position that obstructs your supervision, no matter how high the official rank or how powerful it is." ”

"I want to do a good job of how many of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are like Zhu Mian and others, and find that one person killed one, and found that two killed one pair. I want everyone in the world to know that anyone who dares to bend the law for bribes and engage in favoritism in the Great Song Dynasty will be killed! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gou replied loudly: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Song Huizong nodded with satisfaction, let Zhao Gou go down again, then looked at Xu Jingheng, and said, "You have the responsibility to do this time, and I order you to help from the side." If there are more Zhu Mian and his ilk in the DPRK, you should know what the consequences will be. ”

Xu Jingheng bowed down and replied: "The minister obeys the order, and he should do his best!" ”

The crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu and others looked at each other, holding back the surprise in their hearts, they didn't expect that the emperor was really angry this time, and the turmoil caused by Zhu Mian was just the beginning. I'm afraid that what will happen next will be even more difficult to deal with.

They thought that Song Huizong held the power of the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province, and once again held great power in his hands, and would definitely give Zhao Gou one of the positions, but they didn't want him to do the opposite and give him the position of supervising the imperial history with low authority, you must know that this position made everyone tremble.

Zhao Gou himself was a hussar general, a county king, and a privy councillor, and led a large army to quell the rebellion of Fang La and others, and the means were very good. If he becomes the superintendent of the imperial history, I am afraid that there is really a chance to eradicate the cronies around Zhao Huan one after another, and then the crown prince Zhao Huan and others panicked.

Song Huizong's move really shocked all of them, those who were honest and upright did not change their faces, and those who had ghosts in their hearts changed their faces suddenly. Song Huizong wanted to eradicate all the corrupt people in the court, but he just gave these people a warning and told them to restrain a little, so as to make Zhao Gou stand on the court.
