Chapter 290: Distress

"Lord Wang, I appreciate what I did this time!" The crown prince Zhao Huan looked at Wang Hao with appreciation, smiling, and could not hide the smug look in his heart.

Wang Hao suppressed the joy in his heart, and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie appreciates, this is the work of the prince, and the ministers dare not take credit!" ”

After Zhao Huan listened, he was even more proud. Now, the whole Bianjing City is rumoring about that poem, and the wind has turned to Zhao Gou, which is something he is happy to see. Zhao Gou's limelight is too strong, whether it is officialdom, the military, or the people, he has a high reputation, this time he made a big fuss about him and achieved unexpected results, and the goal has been achieved.

'Deji' is Zhao Gou's word, he doesn't remember it himself, but he didn't think of it because of the many things, and he didn't remember it when he was young before. All the officials who participated in that banquet knew that this word was given by the emperor himself, so Zhao Huan, Wang Hao and others knew it.

Wang Hao secretly sent people to spread rumors, causing the emperor's jealousy. Originally, this abacus played extremely well, but it was omitted that the emperor's love for Zhao Gou was extraordinary, and it was not what he wanted at all, so this time it seemed to be in an uproar, but in fact it was harmless.

In addition, this time Zhao Gou is behind the scenes, which is nothing more than a trick to let him fall in. Sure enough, Wang Hao was not only deeply trapped in it, but also smug, thinking that there were no flaws, but in fact, there were many loopholes, Zhao Gou had already understood that everything had been standing still, and he was waiting for the opportunity to annihilate in one fell swoop.

Wang Hao spread rumors about Zhao Gou, saying that he had the intention of cavalry rebellion, and insinuated that he did not directly explain, this is the cleverness, so that the people speculated that the officials in the court and the central government already knew everything, so some ministers could not bear it, and directly participated in Zhao Gou's book, and some of them benefited Zhao Huan and others, so that Zhao Gou could not retreat.

As everyone knows, this has strengthened the emperor's determination to pass on the throne to Zhao Gou. If it weren't for Zhao Gou, he couldn't accept it for a while, and he never thought about it, but he was afraid that Zhao Huan would smash his own foot this time. It's just that he doesn't know about this, since Li Bangyan's death, Zhao Huan's eyeliner beside Song Huizong has all disappeared, so he has to guess the emperor's thoughts, which have never been confirmed.

According to his own understanding of his father, even if he spoils Zhao Gou, there is a bottom line, and Zhao Gou's rumor has made him deeply involved in the storm of public opinion, and there are ministers who will help him to participate in the performance, which will definitely arouse the emperor's vigilance. If it is not bad as expected, Zhao Gou will inevitably be severely punished, even if he is not beheaded, he will have to take back the power in his hands, just like Zhao Yougong, at that time he had already ascended the throne as the emperor, and he was afraid that Zhao Gou would not succeed.

"Ninth brother, don't blame me, everything is your own fault! If you don't want to compete with me for the throne, I don't want to take dangerous moves, you press again and again, if you don't take action again, I'm afraid that my father won't have my shadow in the eyes of the emperor at all, then what's the point of me as a prince! ”

Wang Hao and the others looked at the ruthlessness on Zhao Huan's face, squinted their eyes, and smiled weirdly, and felt a chill all over their bodies. Zhao Huan's ruthlessness is unknown to others, they naturally know that there are many people who will do whatever it takes for the throne, and they will become the king and lose the throne, he never thought that as long as Zhengda Guangming firmly occupies the position of the crown prince, he will definitely inherit the throne in the future, this is Zhao Huan's lifelong pursuit, and he has never wavered.

At this moment, Zhao Gou was not as excited as Zhao Huan, the whole person looked preoccupied, his face was full of sadness, his head drooped, and he kept walking forward with his head down, which caused everyone to look sideways, even Zhao Yougong looked at Zhao Gou in surprise, and shouted several times without responding.

Zhao Yougong knew that the emperor's words affected Zhao Gou, and he thought about it empathically, but he was not necessarily much better than Zhao Gou. If he didn't know something that Zhao Gou didn't know, he was afraid that Zhao Yougong would mistakenly think that this was a test, but he believed that the emperor's previous words were serious, not like a joke, let alone a temptation.

"Ninth brother, what are you thinking?" Zhao Yougong stepped forward quickly, patted Zhao Gou's shoulder to make his sloppy eyes return to clarity, and said with a smile: "Aren't you still thinking about the emperor's words?" Actually, you don't have to worry, there are some things that we are not thinking about now, are they? If you think too much, it will only add to your troubles! ”

Zhao Goumu nodded, his dull eyes had a glimmer of light, and he said in a daze: "Cousin, do you know what my father just said?" If I had really thought about it, I wouldn't have been so bothered, but I really hadn't thought about it; As you said, we are not thinking about this matter at the moment, but there is always something wrong in my heart, and I always feel that my father's words are not like a joke, but like they are true! ”

"True or false! That's just the emperor's words, you don't have to take it to heart! Zhao Yougong smiled and replied lightly: "No one can take it away if it's yours, and it's not yours who can't force it." No matter what the emperor says, you just need to remember that some things are true or false not now, but later. ”

Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Yougong with a sloppy look in his eyes, and muttered, "Cousin, do you say that what your father said just now is true?" ”

Zhao Yougong saw Zhao Gou like this, and sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Zhao Gou to be unable to think about it for a while, this matter has been haunting his mind for a long time, and he wanted to answer and heard Zhao Gou muttering in a low voice: "It must be a joke, but this joke is not funny at all." ”

Zhao Yougong shook his head helplessly, and sighed silently: "Ninth brother, this matter is not a joke, but true. ”

However, seeing Zhao Gou like this, Zhao Yougong still held these words in his heart, and had to look at Zhao Gou. Even if Song Huizong Zhao Ji knew that what he said just now had some impact on Zhao Gou, he didn't expect that it would make Zhao Gou's soul unwilling.

Zhao Gou didn't know how to get out of the palace, his mind kept circling Zhao Ji's words, to be honest, he really didn't think about ascending the throne as the emperor. Even though there are many advantages to ascending the throne as emperor, it is true that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages at the moment, and the matter has not yet reached that time.

Zhao Gou clearly remembered that even if he ascended the throne as emperor, it was after Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured by the Jin soldiers. However, Zhao Ji's words made him feel a bad premonition in his heart, and he always felt that the historical trajectory had quietly changed, not only Song Jiang and others, but also Cai Jing and others were beheaded, this is the way to go, he did not question it, but the development of the situation in front of him always felt that Zhao Huan would be deposed and renamed the prince, and that person must be himself, and if he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible, so Zhao Gou was indeed a little irritable.

This is the reason why the authorities are obsessed with bystanders. If his father said this to Zhao Yougong, he could have analyzed it seriously, but when it was his turn, he died down, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to think.

"Is the throne really important? Although there are many things that are better handled by ascending to the throne as emperor, it is just that now is not the time. If the father is not sincere, but deliberately tempted, what will be the result if he really agrees, this matter is really beyond his expectations, it is really troublesome! ……”

Zhao Gou returned to his house without looking back with a sad face, Zhao Yougong saw him leave, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, his eyes narrowed weirdly, and he muttered gloatingly: "Ninth brother, your martial arts are indeed stronger than mine, but you are still a little worse when you meet the emperor!" …… Ginger is still old and spicy! ……”
