"Father, the son still has something to play, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" Zhao Gou said hesitantly.

Song Huizong replied: "You and I are father and son, you don't have to be formal, just say what you have to say!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Gou said in a deep voice, "Father Qi, the crown prince is also involved. ”

"What?" Song Huizong was taken aback and said, "The prince is also involved?" ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Just because the crown prince is the eldest brother of the son, and he is the current prince, the future emperor is the prince." If this matter is announced to the public, I am afraid that all the people in the world will be cold to the Great Song Dynasty and have complaints about the royal family, so they have never taken action. ”

Song Huizong was silent, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter. Although he prefers Zhao Gou to inherit the unification and become the crown prince. However, Zhao Gou didn't have this idea, and Zhao Ji knew this better than anyone else. After all, he had reminded him openly and secretly that Zhao Gou was just unmoved, or looking left and right, or not picking up the stubble.

If Zhao Gou has the determination to serve as the crown prince, then this matter is really as Zhao Gou said, and the prince Zhao Huan is involved, then he can quickly cut through the mess, directly depose him, and Zhao Gou will take the throne. But Zhao Ji also thought that if Zhao Huan fell and Zhao Gou took the throne, he would inevitably be unconvinced, and some people even said that Zhao Gou secretly framed the prince, in order to seize the position of the prince, which was counterproductive.

Zhao Gou originally informed Zhao Ji of the matter, and he realized that the prince's corruption was not limited to silver taels, and some officials in the court and China were also secretly recommended by him to the top or helped him. If this is true, then the crown prince will not only be deposed, but will also be imprisoned.

"How many cases did the prince participate in? How many taels of silver are there? Zhao Ji shook his head bitterly and asked with a wry smile.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has participated in more than ten cases, totaling eight million taels of silver." Zhao Gou reported truthfully, Zhao Ji thought he was finished, and Zhao Gou added: "In addition, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the same stream with Gao Yu and others, he secretly installed a group of people as officials, and also caused innocent officials to be demoted and exiled. ”

Zhao Ji knew that Zhao Huan had always had ambitions in his heart, and he was ambitious, trying in vain to compete for the throne, which was originally a society of the jungle. Zhao Ji did not oppose Zhao Huan's ambition, but praised it greatly, only ambitious can achieve great things, which Zhao Ji has always encouraged. However, he didn't expect Zhao Huan to take the wrong path, not only to embeze and accept bribes, but also to secretly cultivate power.

As a prince, it is understandable to cultivate power, but he is not cautious enough, and he has been caught, so the evidence is even more conclusive. If Zhao Huan is really disposed of, Zhao Ji is reluctant. In any case, the crown prince Zhao Huan is his eldest son, and it is impossible to really kill him directly in a fit of anger.

If you don't kill, it's hard to convince the public. After all, Zhao Ji personally issued an order that no matter how big or small an official is, as long as he is caught, he will be killed if there is real evidence. If he doesn't kill him, let Zhao Huan get away with it, I'm afraid that all the people in the world will not accept it; If he kills him, he can't bear it, and he is really in a dilemma.

"What do you think is going to do with it?" In the end, Zhao Ji really couldn't think of any good solution, so he kicked the ball back.

Zhao Yan had expected Zhao Ji to say this, and said with a smile: "Father doesn't have to worry, after Gao Yu is arrested, with the prince's ability, he will not sit still, and he will definitely find someone to help." In this way, this matter can just be a natural triviality. ”

"That's all I can do!" Zhao Ji was angry, but he suppressed the anger in his heart, his face was full of helplessness, he didn't expect that the crown prince of the dynasty was the same as the minister of the court, and he had no long-term vision. Although he is scheming, he is not above board, which makes him very disappointed.

Zhao Ji has given Zhao Huan too many opportunities, and every time he thinks that Zhao Huan is his eldest son, he doesn't get to the bottom of it. If it is really investigated, Zhao Huan's position as the crown prince will definitely not be kept. Now the only person he can turn to is his mother, who is now the Empress Zheng.

"Prince, why do you have time to come here today?" Zheng looked at Zhao Huan, who looked strange, in surprise, and when he saw the crown princess Zhu Lian again, he asked with a smile.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he knelt down and cried silently: "Queen Mother, only you can save the child's life!" ”

Empress Zheng of Xiansu was startled and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

So, Zhao Huan told the original story of the incident, and he didn't even hide what he had done. Because he knew that Zhao Gou could bring Gao Yu down, then what he did would basically not be missed, and it was better to confess it himself.

"Prince, you are so confused!" The queen scolded with hatred, "As the crown prince, you should actually do this, knowing that it is against the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, but you hit it up, and you didn't know to turn back until your head broke and bleed, it's really confusing!" ”

"The child begs the queen mother to save the child!" Prince Zhao Huan didn't know whether he was worried about his position as the crown prince, or whether he regretted what he had done, and his face showed guilt.

When the queen saw Zhao Huan like this, she thought about it and agreed. However, she could not guarantee how things would turn out, so she could only try her best to persuade them. Now she didn't have time to delay here, and walked directly to the emperor's palace, in order to intercede as soon as possible.

The queen asked the crown prince Zhao Huan and the crown princess Zhu Lian to go together, and she interceded with the emperor in person. Because of the previous Empress Dowager Xiang, Zhao Ji had a shadow in his heart, so he opposed the harem to interfere in politics. Therefore, the queen is the mother of a country, but she is not sure, you must know that she is only in charge of the harem and has no real power.

Even if she had a group of forces before, but these were all uprooted by Zhao Gou, and even she was almost affected. If it weren't for the fact that some years had passed, I am afraid that with Zhao Gou's means, he would have been able to dig up a clue. Because of this, after the power held by the queen was handed over to Zhao Huan, she completely cut off contact, and Zhao Huan was in charge.

It's just that the crown prince Zhao Huan is indeed not a talented person, but the queen just likes it. After all, Zhao Huan is not her parent, but he is better than her own.

At the same time, Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong were discussing major matters in the palace, and the queen and the crown prince Zhao Huan and others were waiting outside for a while. A moment later, Song Huizong's discussion with Zhao Gou was over; The queen is the mother of a country, and their status is similar, but the crown prince Zhao Huan hides the truth of some things, and he is pitiful, which makes the queen unwilling to come forward to persuade her.

One day husband and wife 100 days!

If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even if Zhao Ji doesn't care that he is his son, then he has to take care of the queen's face. Therefore, Zhao Huan went to the queen for help and asked her to intercede.

Song Huizong was slightly stunned when he saw that the crown prince Zhao Huan, the crown princess, and the queen who had not been seen for many days were also here, and then saw Zhao Gou smile understandingly. Suddenly, Song Huizong suddenly realized, he finally understood what Zhao Gou meant by what he said before.

I thought that sentence was just a joke, but I didn't expect the prince Zhao Huan to really ask for help, and that person was actually the queen, which made Zhao Gou a little stunned, and he didn't know where to start.
