"Your Majesty, why didn't the county king give a reward?"

Zhao Gou was stunned, Zhao Yougong was also stupid, and even the emperor was stunned. Because it wasn't Zhao Yougong who said this, he wanted to be upset for Zhao, but there was another person who was faster than him. That person was the Seed Master, and said sonorously: "If there is no His Royal Highness the King of the County, how can the Northern Expedition be quickly resolved; Without His Highness, our army would not know how many people would die. ”

"Now the ministers have been rewarded, why the first meritorious minister has not had any reward, the old minister thinks it is really unfair. If the emperor doesn't reward His Royal Highness, the old minister will be deserved for this merit! The old minister dared to ask the emperor, and he should reward the meritorious minister; If you don't reward Your Highness, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world! ”

Song Huizong said coldly: "Old man, are you threatening me? ”

"The old minister doesn't dare!" The Seed Master Dao also knew that he had lost his words, but he didn't care about it, if Zhao Gou, the marshal of the first class merit, was not rewarded, they were just assisting from the side, but they were high-ranking officials, and the Seed Master Dao felt really uncomfortable.

The two of them, Seed Master Zhong and Zong Ze, followed closely and asked the emperor to give Zhao Gou a reward, and they didn't want to see Zhao Gou clearly make a single achievement, but he couldn't get anything, which was really unfair. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yougong, Gao Chong, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others also knelt down.

Their meaning is obvious, if Zhao Gou didn't have a reward, their feats would just be a joke, it would be a naked slap in the face. Therefore, all of them, without exception, fell to their knees and begged the emperor to take back their orders.

It's just that Zhao Gou, who is the party concerned, did not move, looking at everyone lightly, he did not have any complaints in his heart, nor did he have any surprises, and even these had already been considered. It's just that what surprised him was the attitude of the planter, he thought that the planter would not really belong to him, but he didn't expect this to see, and the planter also became his own person, I don't know if it's good or bad.

Song Huizong greatly rewarded the meritorious ministers, but turned a deaf ear to Zhao Gou, this is not only the generals who followed Zhao Gou on the expedition did not understand, but even the ministers in the court were stunned, looking at Song Huizong dumbfounded, they didn't know what to say, they could only wait and see the changes.

Among the people present, only the crown prince Zhao Huan was the happiest, he heard that his father had rewarded them all, and he felt very uncomfortable. In such a scene, Zhao Gou actually didn't get anything, which made him very happy.

And, seeing everyone kneeling on the ground and begging the emperor, Zhao Heng, as the crown prince, took this opportunity to fall into the ground.

"You are so bold, you openly threaten the emperor, as a courtier, you should obey the emperor's will, what kind of system do you have, it is simply the opposite, openly threaten the emperor not to say, and even commit the following crimes, angering Long Yan, it is really an unforgivable crime!"

The crown prince Zhao Huan was angry and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the sons think that they must have been secretly instructed by someone to do this. Now they are openly disobeying the holy decree and are guilty of their crimes. The sons thought that their merits could not cover this great crime, and they should be dismissed and investigated. ”

"Wei Chen thinks that they are disobeying the holy decree and deserve to be punished heavily!"

Suddenly, as soon as the words of the crown prince Zhao Huan fell, he was approved by some restless ministers. They are all civil servants, and they wish that the generals would always be under them. If all these people are rewarded, then the power of the military generals will be very close to the Wenchen, and they will lose their greatest advantage after a long time.

"Alas! ……”

Song Huizong's face was gloomy, his face was pale, and what he was angry about was not the behavior of Seed Master Dao, Zong Ze and others, but the attitude of the crown prince Zhao Huan. I thought that the prince had learned to be obedient after what happened last time, but after this incident, he realized that Zhao Huan had not learned to be obedient at all, and was even stupid, which was simply stupid.

The way of the emperor is that the balance is the most important, and he wants to help the crown prince Zhao Huan to compete with Zhao Gou, but the prince Zhao Huan is simply a mud that can't be supported. If it was a smart person, at this time, he would not have beheaded Master Dao, Zong Ze and others at all.

Although the words of the Seed Master Dao, Zong Ze and others are incorrect, they do have merit to the Great Song Dynasty, and such merits are not ordinary. After all, the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is a major barrier for the Great Song Dynasty. It can be said that even if they really make a mistake, they can make up for it and will not be punished.

However, the crown prince Zhao Huan was eager to behead them all, and even pointed out that the person behind the scenes was Zhao Gou, which made Song Huizong very disappointed. If he really beheaded all the meritorious ministers such as Seed Master Dao and Zong Ze, then the Great Song Dynasty would really be finished.

Moreover, he also got a mediocre reputation, killing meritorious officials and digging his own graves, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to escape the name of a faint king. In that case, the Great Song Dynasty will really be finished. As for Zhao Gou's ability, Song Huizong knows better than anyone else, comparing the two, Song Huizong still can't help sighing, both of them are his own sons, why is this one so stupid, if the Great Song Dynasty is handed over to him, it is really difficult to judge the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou never spoke, was silent, and looked at all this lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. In fact, Zhao Gou knew better than anyone else that this was Song Huizong's strategy, and if he was rewarded again, he would be a prince, but his age was not at all.

If he is crowned a prince, then there is really no one before or since. If it is a foreign surname, he can be crowned king with his merits. It's just that his surname is Zhao, and he is a descendant of the Zhao family. If Zhao Gou is really crowned as a prince, then what do other princes think.

Now that Zhao Gou is in charge of the military power of the Great Song Dynasty, if he is really crowned a prince, Song Huizong will not worry that Zhao Gou has the heart to rebel. However, others will not sit idly by. After all, Zhao Gou is not old enough and holds great power, if something unimaginable really happens, it will really be irreparable.

Old handsomes such as Seed Master Dao and Zong Ze are willing to stand by Zhao Gou's side, which can be said to be a beginning. It is not only a good beginning, but also the beginning of Zhao Gou's troubles. Now, I am afraid that after Zhao Gou's military order is issued, the generals of the entire Great Song Dynasty are only the first, and even the holy decree may not be effective.

If in the period of war, there is Zhao Gou in charge, then the Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji is safe and worry-free. The current Zhao Gou seems to have become the biggest problem, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause dissatisfaction among the generals of the Great Song Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, even Zhao Gou's descendants would not want to directly refuse the reward, if that was the case, the gains would outweigh the losses.

So Song Huizong also had a headache about this matter, and he really didn't know how to end it. If it is not properly disposed of, the consequences are endless; Properly disposed of, safe and secure. In the end, Song Huizong did not stop doing anything, and directly let Zhao Gou bear all the responsibilities.

"As the king of the county, you are the prince, and the commander of the Northern Expedition, but you don't know how to control the generals under your command!" Song Huizong shouted angrily, "As the commander-in-chief, you have an unshirkable responsibility. Spread my will, cut off all the positions of the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the king of Guangping County, the three divisions of the Kaifu Yi and the general of the hussars, and retain the title of the king of the county, and everything else is the same as the commoners. ”

"It's not fair!" Seed Master Dao, Zong Ze and others still wanted to argue again, but Zhao Gou didn't give them a chance, and kept silent, Zhao Gou, who was calm and calm, was not calm this time, and fought directly to the end, retorting loudly, which made Seed Master Dao, Zong Ze and others startled.

"Oops!" Everyone was worried, because Zhao Gou's questioning was the biggest taboo, which made them startled and secretly screamed badly.

"That's your responsibility!" Song Huizong shouted angrily, "Spread my will, cut off the title of the king of Guangping County, and demote him to a commoner!" If anyone intercedes again, he will be guilty of the same crime and retreat! ”

Zhao Gou made great achievements, and everyone thought that Zhao Gou would get a more generous reward. However, unexpectedly, Zhao Gou not only did not have a reward, but also because of the intercession of Seed Master Dao, Yue Fei and others, he fell into it, and finally depreciated again and again, not only lost the name of the marshal, but even the title was gone, and he directly became a commoner.

Song Huizong's favor and trust in Zhao Gou is well known to everyone in the court, but for some reason, this time he directly turned against him. Song Huizong was even more ruthless, depriving Zhao Gou of everything and demoting him to a commoner. It can be said that this scene made everyone stunned, not knowing which one it was singing, thinking thoughtfully.
