Zhao Gou was driven out of the palace by the guards in a trance, and was stunned for a long time before believing that everything that happened in front of him was true, turned around in a daze, and returned home without looking back.

The moment Zhao Gou, who was depressed, stepped into the door of the mansion, Steward Wang greeted him and said in a low voice: "Young master, the prince is here!" ”

"Uncle Thirteen is here?" Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped into the door, only to see Zhao Gou talking and laughing with everyone amiably, and seeing Zhao Gou coming back, he nodded with a smile, and Zhao Gou hurriedly said, "Thirteenth uncle, when did you come?" Why didn't you notify earlier? ”

Zhao Ru smiled: "Just come for a while, you don't have to be like this, there will be people coming later, wait a while!" ”

Zhao Gou glanced at it puzzled, didn't say anything, and sat down, Zhao seemed to order someone to bring the tea to Zhao Gou, and then continued to talk and laugh with everyone, leaving him out in the cold.

Zhao Gou was bored and thought, "Why is Uncle Thirteen here?" Could it be something, or something else? What the hell is going on? ”

About half an hour passed, Zhao Ru smiled and said, "Steward Wang, go and open the door!" He should have arrived! ”

Steward Wang nodded, and went to open the door in person, and it was Zhao Yougong and a few adults who came into view, but none of them entered the mansion, Zhao Yougong nodded, and then rushed in.

Everyone wanted to enter the mansion but were a little worried, and finally the steward Wang smiled and said: "Your lords are here, the young master has something to do, and I told you to go to the side hall to wait, and come after seeing a distinguished guest!" ”

So the people entered the house, but they were taken to another place by the king's steward, and he also ordered the others to serve cakes and tea for everyone to enjoy.

Everyone came to the house for the first time, thinking that Zhao Gou's mansion must be magnificent, but they didn't expect it to be so simple, and all the men in the mansion had never seen any maids or maidservants.

Suddenly, everyone remembered their own mansion, not to mention that there were a few maids and maids, even if there was no splendor, there were still a few famous calligraphy and paintings, or jade, rockeries and the like, and there was also a bit of literati atmosphere, and the most feeling in the county king's mansion was the courage of a military general, and they were full of admiration.

Zhao Gou was curious about who it was, and was a little surprised to see Zhao Yougong in a hurry, and Steward Wang came back after a while.

When Zhao Yougong saw Zhao Gou, he was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of his father who was also here, and he was taken aback and said in astonishment: "The child has seen his father!" ”

Zhao Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Get up!" Sit down first, we'll talk about it later! He looked at Steward Wang who came behind him, "Have you arranged it!" ”

"Everything is under the orders of the prince!" Steward Wang replied respectfully.

Steward Wang heard that Zhao seemed to say that there would be distinguished guests coming later, so he asked him to arrange it in advance, he thought it was a joke, but he never thought it was true, and when he saw other people, even he was shocked.

"Hmm!" Zhao seemed to nod and motioned for him to go down first, and then looked at Zhao Yougong, Zhao Gou, "I know the purpose of your coming here; I know what you're doing, and I'm here to tell you that some things aren't as simple as they seem, and things aren't going bad! ”

"Gong'er, my father knows that you are worried about what to do if Go'er is removed from all official positions, and he also knows that there are several people who came with you, but they were taken to another place by the housekeeper to wait!"

Zhao seemed to tell me that Zhao Gou's dismissal was unexpectedly and in the process of being cleaned up, and he smiled calmly: "I didn't mean to come here alone, and the emperor ordered me to come!" ”

"What does my father mean?" Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong looked at each other, and looked at Zhao Qi in unison, not understanding why he said so.

If it was really the emperor's intention, why did he deprive Zhao Gou of his power in front of the Manchu civil and military forces and let him close his house, they still didn't understand why the emperor did this.

Zhao seemed to know their thoughts, and said in one sentence: "You have been in the officialdom for too long, and some things are not as simple as you think!" Although this operation has achieved results and has made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, it is just that you are too reckless and too eager for quick success, which seems to be calm, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent! ”

"The Great Song Dynasty is to emphasize literature and suppress martial arts, this is the national policy that Emperor Taizu has been implementing, even Emperor Taizong does not dare to change it easily, even if the first emperor reused and promoted Wang Anshi, the change has achieved outstanding results in the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately it cannot be implemented in the end, do you know why?"

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong nodded, "There are too many reasons why I can't continue, even I feel that if Da Song doesn't change the law once, the future is worrying, but if you really can't go on, it will damage the interests of many people." ”

"Even if you have the hearts of the people, but the state cannot be entrusted to the people to manage, only the literati have the policy of governing the country! If it is completely dependent on the people, the country is in danger! ”

"You guys were too reckless this time, acting hastily, and deliberately concealing the number of people, and almost made a mistake! If it weren't for your arguments in the court, and your reasoning, and the emperor's favor, if you were to become another official, I am afraid that you would have been dismissed from office and directly put into prison! ”

"You really don't know how thick the sky is, this time the matter is still within the expected range! Although you have thought of the rhetoric and have enough reasons to survive, and the fame of the world has been made many times and four times, it is kind to the people, beneficial to the literati, and beneficial to the military generals, so that nothing uncontrollable has happened! ”

"If there is going to be a change, it's not now! The emperor's gaze is like a torch, not worse than you, only longer than you, has not made much action, Xu Xu Tuzhi is too worried, even if you really want to do it, you have to be convinced, when the time is ripe, everything will fall into place, that time is the real reform, let the Song Dynasty rise! ”

"When is the right time?" Zhao Gou asked impatiently.

"You don't have to think about this, when the time comes, it will definitely give you a chance to show your talents! It's useless to be anxious now, you'll know when the time comes! Zhao seemed to be smiling, and said mysteriously: "At that time, the emperor and I had only one request for you, no matter what the price is, you must succeed, and you will never allow failure, can you do it?" ”

"Never break your word, you will do it!" Zhao Gou replied unswervingly.

"That's great!" Zhao Yi smiled and instructed: "There is another matter, you should take the time to go to Pan Mansion!" This is etiquette, and it is also a gratitude for his life-saving grace, and it is rightfully deserved! ”

Zhao Gou nodded solemnly, he knew what Zhao seemed to say. When he was degraded, how much had to do with Pan Lianggui, after Zhao's click, Zhao Gou understood the meaning, if it was really calculated, it was indeed right, Pan Lianggui saved his life, even if he didn't have anything in the end, he should visit in person to express his gratitude, and it is also a kind of wooing, with Pan Lianggui's assistance, it is like a tiger with wings, just like Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, an indispensable person.
