Zhao Gou arranged everything well, and let everyone go back to rest. The next day, after Zhao Gou had done all his morning exercises, he got up again and went to the Privy Council. This time, everyone got up at the same time as Zhao Gou and did morning exercises with Zhao Gou. It's just that their injuries have not recovered, and they can't practice with Zhao Gou. Before Zhao Gou left, he also left his thousands of taels of silver tickets and handed them to Shen Liang and Zhao Zhen, and left.

There is no need for an early dynasty today, so there is no need to see Song Huizong, so Zhao Gou went to the Privy Council as soon as possible to check whether everyone had arrived at their posts. When Zhao Gou entered the door of the Privy Council, someone had already arrived. Then, one after another, everyone arrived, and no one was ever late again.

In the next ten days, Zhao Gou was familiar with all the matters, and even the procedures of the twelve rooms needed to be understood clearly. Since Zhao Gou issued the order, the officials in the Privy Council, regardless of their official positions, have all taken up their posts on time and have never been absent. The crowd is not as casual as before, dealing with the things in hand seriously, and everything needs to be done seriously. It's just that when Zhao Gou finishes it, he will randomly check the affairs handled by several officials, and if he finds that he has passed the test in confusion and has not carefully reviewed it, he will be deducted by Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou's position in the Privy Council became more and more stable, and everyone admired him more and more. The rewards and punishments are clear, no matter how high or low, even if he makes a mistake himself. Everyone was convinced, no longer thinking that Zhao Gou was just a twelve-year-old boy, but a real boss, and unanimously agreed with his order.

In the court, Zhao Gou was isolated from the beginning, and Gao Yu and others continued to make trouble, which was quietly resolved by him. After Wang Li's incident, Zhao Gou acted much calmer, no longer impetuous, and was anxious for quick success. In the end, the ministers of the Privy Council attached themselves to Zhao Gou, and if someone impeached him, not only would he not fall into the ground, but he would also stand on the same line with Zhao Gou.

Song Huizong saw that Zhao Gou had won people's hearts, and everyone was defending him, and he was happy in his heart. He knew that the Privy Council had become his sphere of influence, and after Song Huizong listened to the government, the ministers of the court and the central government also adapted to it, and gradually some local officials and officials of various departments also re-wrote their scripts, and some major military and political affairs were handed over to the Privy Council to deal with.

Some people are happy and some are sad!

"This county king, the old man really underestimated him, and in just a few dozen days, he took the people of the Privy Council under his banner, and he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, as if he was covering the sky with one hand. It is impossible for our people, the people acting for the king, or even the officials of the other two factions to find out a little information from the Privy Council, and they are very strict. ”

Gao Yu's face was gloomy, remembering that a few days ago, he invited the Privy Council officials who were attached to his door before, but they rejected them one by one, and he no longer had any contact with him. During this period, Zhao Heng, the acting king, also sent someone to invite, but he also returned in vain. Even the officials of the two parties of the reform faction and the conservative faction in the DPRK and China could not break into the Privy Council, and they couldn't help but be a little angry, and said angrily: "I think that back then, if it wasn't for Captain Ben, they would not have been able to enter the Privy Council as officials, and they never thought that they would change their masters and forget their old favors, which is really hateful." ”

"Don't get angry, Captain!" One of them laughed in a calm and low voice, "At the beginning, we didn't dare to touch him, just because the one standing behind him was the current saint. After the observation of the lower officials, the saint only turned a blind eye and wanted to coordinate the strength of the two sides. Now, the king of Quang Binh seems to be in complete control of the Privy Council, so the division of power between the court and the central government is close at hand. ”

"If the lower officials are not mistaken, the emperor is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and he does not really intend to protect the county king. Perhaps the king of the county was only twelve years old, and he was still a teenager, and it was reasonable for the holy lord of his father to take care of him. Next, it depends on how we act, if we want to fight the king of the county, it seems impossible to start from the Privy Council, why don't we start with this martial arts exam? ”

Gao Yu asked, "Martial arts exam?" ”

"Not bad!" The man smiled sinisterly, "Lord Taiwei, have you forgotten who the chief examiner of the martial arts examination is?" Even if the king of the county is the chief examiner, there are still the three of them together. As long as we take a little action and let the martial arts exam have unexpected results or some mistakes, the king of Guangping County, as the chief examiner, will inevitably be severely punished by the emperor. ”

"The martial arts examination is one of the two major events of the dynasty, and it is equivalent to the imperial examination, if there is a problem, and then an official impeachment, even if the emperor favors the prince of the county, it will not help, it will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the court, and they will attack it en masse, wouldn't it be happy; In addition, the acting king's side must be the first to make a move. Nowadays, the position of the king of the county in the court is becoming more and more stable, and the more unfavorable it is to the king. ”

"Okay, that's it!" Gao Yu clapped his hands and praised, and said with a cruel smile: "I don't believe that the three of them can't fight with a young man, if they can't win even a child, then there is no need to stay by my side, keep them away from the court, so as not to affect me in the future." ”

So, Gao Yu followed the man's advice, and then wrote a letter to Zhang Bangchang, Wang Duo, and Zhang Jun, and also gave 10,000 taels of silver tickets as a small gift. The three of them saw that Gao Taiwei personally instructed and sent silver taels, how could they miss the opportunity in vain, plus they were already ready to become the chief examiner this time, and when the time came, they made a lot of money, but they were stabbed by Zhao Gou, which shattered their dreams, and they hated it in their hearts, and they also hit it off, and agreed without hesitation.

The words were divided into two ends, and Zhao Huan, the acting king, was also uneasy, and Zhao Gou's position became more and more stable, and he became more and more nervous and worried. From beginning to end, he thought that he was the best choice for the crown prince, but he didn't expect his ninth brother to appear, not only showing extraordinary ability, but also being all-round in civil and military affairs, which was deeply loved by Song Huizong, which made him, the eldest son of the emperor, a little nervous.

"Chitose, are you worried that the King of Guangping will be threatened?" The attendant on the side asked in a low voice, Zhao Huan sighed and nodded, and said with a cruel smile: "Chitose, it's better for the villain to go and assassinate him, as long as he is dead, there will be no threat to Chitose, and the country will still be yours at that time." ”

"Confused!" Zhao Huan scolded in a low voice, "This younger brother of this king is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and on the first day of his tenure, he dared to dismiss the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, which is a second-class officer." Even if he is really guilty, he needs his father to decide, and he never thought that his father would remain silent about it, no matter if he didn't ask, even if someone mentioned it, his father didn't care. ”

"The deputy envoy of the Privy Council died in prison, and his father did not care about such major matters, nor did he pay attention to them, but praised Lao Jiu's way of doing things, which shows his father's favor for him. If this king did not guess wrong, the dead father of the king's deputy envoy already knew who did it, and he had been reluctant to mention this matter, and he intended to protect it, and the ministers of the court and the central government were not human spirits, and they all knew that this matter was intentionally protective, and even the old puppet did not make any moves, you must know that the deputy envoy had a lot of relations with him, and they were all silent, so it was very problematic. ”

"Lao Jiu's resourcefulness is not weaker than any minister in the dynasty, just on the first day, he beat the king's deputy envoy, and the guards guarding the door feel that they are not his opponents, do you think you are his opponents? If Lao Jiu finds out that you are the king's person, it is not to provoke a fire; If the father knew about it, it would be fratricide, and the father would definitely punish him severely at that time, and he couldn't take any chances. ”

That person thought about it, Zhao Gou's martial arts were just the tip of the iceberg. However, even the guards had to admire the actions of that day, which showed that Zhao Gou's martial arts were very high. Although they didn't know where Zhao Gou's martial arts came from, Zhao Gou's profound martial arts was a fact that could not be ignored, so they could only retreat in a huff.

"Report Chitose, King Xiaoliang came to the door to pay a visit, I wonder if Chitose will receive it?"

Just when Zhao Huan was at a loss and frowned, someone came to report and whispered: "King Xiaoliang, what is he doing in this palace?" ”

Zhao Huan was ready not to meet, the Great Song Dynasty was taken from the hands of the Chai family of Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin promised to let the Chai family be the hereditary king, so King Liang was the title of the Chai family of the Later Zhou Emperor. However, on the surface, the Zhao family will be polite to the Chai family, and they will not really tear their faces.

Suddenly, Zhao Huan remembered something, held back his refusal, triumphant, and thought happily: "Perhaps, this person is still of some use." ”

So, Zhao Huan agreed to meet King Xiao Liang who came from afar.

At the same time, Zhao Gou was also summoned to the palace by Song Huizong and asked how the next martial arts examination would be arranged. Zhao Gou replied one by one, everything was ready, as long as Song Huizong gave an order, it could be executed immediately. Zhao Ji was a little relieved to hear everything arranged by Zhao Gou, and after the two chatted for a while, they asked Zhao Gou to prepare to leave and prepare for the martial arts exam in three days.

Zhao Gou said goodbye and left, but he didn't know that the martial arts examination had already been an opportunity for various forces to "show his strength", and he wanted to take advantage of this to bring down Zhao Gou and make him ruined. Although Zhao Gou didn't know what kind of accident it was, he also knew that something would inevitably happen in this martial arts exam, so he muttered calmly; "It's time to come or to come, so let me wait and see! Don't let me down! ……”
