Chapter 572 Suspicion

There was only one chair in the room, but it was given to Zhuang Bufan, who seemed to be very comfortable to sit on, but at this time Zhuang Bufan was willing to stand, because sitting in the chair, he always felt very depressed and frightened. △¢Top Novel,www.

Zhao Yougong didn't plan to be verbose, and went straight to the point, "Zhuang Bufan, this king asks you, why did you choose Bai Shijing today?" Remember, you only get one chance, think about it! ”

Zhuang Bufan only felt that there were thousands of steel needles all over his body, his throat surged, and he kept swallowing saliva, he opened his mouth to say something, and swallowed it back, and soon layers of sweat oozed from his forehead. Zhuang Bufan didn't know how much Zhao Yougong knew, so he didn't dare to lie, because there was only one chance, and if he lied, he might die immediately, but he had to tell the truth, and he also had scruples.

About half a pillar of incense, seeing that Zhao Yougong was already extremely impatient, Zhuang Bufan seemed to have made up his mind, he gritted his teeth, slid down from the chair, and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, please let go of the small one, the little one is helpless." Half a month ago, a mysterious person took away a pair of children of the villain, saying that he wanted the villain to choose Bai Shijing as the helper, and after Bai Shijing took the position, the person would let the villain's children come back. ”

Listening to Zhuang Bufan's words, Zhao Yougong was secretly shocked in his heart, half a month ago? If what Zhuang Bufan said is true, it means that someone already knew that Qiao Feng was going to step down half a month ago, and even Xu Ziqing's plan was shattered in advance. If it weren't for that, that person wouldn't have laid out in advance and let Bai Shijing be the leader. Tang Miao was by his side, he heard Zhuang Bufan's words so clearly, seeing that Zhao Yougong frowned, Tang Miao immediately bowed his hand. "Your Highness. This is an omission on the part of subordinates. Failure to detect it in time. ”

"No, it's no wonder to you for this matter, you are in charge of the Dark Hall for the first time, and you have limited manpower, so it is impossible to pay attention to the various rudders of the Beggar Gang. This time we were calculated, hum, we messed up Xu Ziqing's plan, but we fell into the prepared plan of others. ”

At this time, Zhao Yougong was becoming more and more certain. This matter was done by listening to the gang of people in the Yuge, and they could silently control a few rudder masters of the beggar gang, except for listening to the Yuge, it seems that no Jianghu organization can have such great ability. Zhuang Bufan was threatened, and the other three rudder splitters were no better. When he came to the door, he whispered to Tang Miao, "When Zhuang Bufan was captured, did anyone find out?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, this time my subordinates personally led people there, and Zhuang Bufan was in the peach forest at that time. After repeatedly confirming that there was no eyeliner staring, his subordinates started to capture this person. ”

Tang Miao's ability to do things. Zhao Yougong is still very trusting, Tang Miao is thoughtful and observant, if he says that no one finds out, then there will definitely be no problem. Exhaled, Zhao Yougong came to Zhuang Bufan's side, and with a flip of his right hand, he untied the rope on Zhuang Bufan's wrist, "Zhuang Bufan, this king will let you go back now, as for what to do, you should be clear, right?" Remember, don't play any tricks with this king, even if you don't use life and death charms, this king has thousands of ways to take your life in an instant. As long as you are honest, this king promises to return you a pair of children who are alive and kicking, but if you go against this king, not only will you not see those children, but even the rest of your family will be unlucky. ”

Zhuang Bufan believed that Zhao Yougong must be able to do what he said, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice, before quietly returning to Taoyuan Forest under the escort of several dark hall experts. After Zhuang Bufan left, Tang Miao asked, "Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to send someone to erase Bai Shijing?" ”

"No, don't you think everything is too superficial? If it were you, would you push the chess pieces that you have cultivated so hard to in front of everyone? ”

"This" Tang Miao is an extremely smart person, and after a little thought, he somewhat understood the meaning of Zhao Yougong's words. It is true that Bai Shijing became the leader of the gang, but Bai Shijing also attracted attention and became the target of everyone, it is estimated that not only many beggar gang children have doubts about Bai Shijing's position, but even other forces outside the beggar gang will stare at Bai Shijing, so that Bai Shijing who is exposed to the eyes of everyone is very dangerous. If it were him Tang Miao, he would never let Bai Shijing take the position so quickly, he would try his best to let Bai Shijing live behind the scenes first, and when the time was ripe, he would take out Bai Shijing and let his henchmen replace him, so that he could control the beggars without being completely exposed. The same is to be a helper, a direct superior, and an indirect superior, which are definitely two different results.

"Your Highness, do you mean this matter is not over yet? Bai Shijing is also a pawn on someone else's chessboard? ”

"Yes, this is exactly what this king intended, you send someone to keep an eye on it, it is estimated that it won't be long before there will be movement, hum, dig a pit for this king, I don't know who it is that fell into it in the end!"

After dawn, as if nothing had happened, Zhao Yougong rested for a long time, and then led the people back to Bianliang. However, as soon as he returned to Bianliang City, Zhao Yougong heard a news that shocked him, and on the second day after he left Bianliang, Emperor Huizong signed a letter of alliance with the envoy of the Jin State Wan Yansu, since then the Song and Jin countries have become friendly countries, and the content of the letter of alliance will also be announced to the world on the fourth day of August.

This alliance, unlike the previous maritime alliance, the alliance involves all aspects, not to mention military cooperation, the Song and Jin will also trade without taxes, and the merchants of the Jin Kingdom can be taken special care of in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, Zhao Ji made such a big sacrifice, the Jin people will also show their generosity, the alliance records in detail, he Song and Jin jointly attacked the Liao Dynasty Nanjing, Zhuozhou, Yizhou and other places were all returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jin people only need money and grain in Nanjing.

Why did Huizong Zhao Ji rush to sign such an alliance with the Jin State, a large part of the reason was that he was forced by Zhao Yougong, Zhao Yougong led the troops to conquer the north, and his military achievements were prominent, and his prestige became more and more sufficient, especially in the hearts of those low-level soldiers, how could he still recognize the official family? Zhao Ji won't watch that nephew grow stronger step by step, he needs to do something, and the alliance between Song and Jin is a good way. Beiding Youyun is the wish of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the wish of countless people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the details of the covenant have not yet been announced to the public, Zhao Yougong has Yang Lian and Xiao Liufei, two infernal affairs, and on the night of his return, he got the manuscript of the covenant, sat in the candlelight and looked at the so-called covenant, only half of it, Zhao Yougong threw the covenant on the table, and became angry, "This Zhao Ji, has a pig brain, and he actually gave the Jin people a guest treatment." ”

What is the guest treatment? In fact, the Jin people were not bound by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and they did not raise taxes when doing business, which was a bit like the diplomatic immunity of later generations, but it was far more powerful than diplomatic immunity, and it can be said that with this covenant, the Jurchens could walk sideways in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

Xiao Zhiyun didn't understand why Zhao Yougong was so angry, she picked up a few pieces of handmade paper and looked at it, and then chuckled, "Interesting, is the Zhao Guanjia going to use benevolence to influence those Jurchen barbarians?" ”

"Probation? Hmph, I'm afraid that in the end, I will raise the tiger too fat and lose my life! Zhao Yougong let out a long sigh, why couldn't Zhezong Zhao Xu live for two more years, even if it was not too late to die after the edict was established, his death, the Great Song Dynasty fell into the hands of Emperor Huizong. Huizong Zhao Ji is an artist, he lives in a dream every day, manages the country, not with the emperor's wrist, but with the brush in his hand, he swiped the pen and splashed ink according to his mind, with oil paint, and wanted to depict the Great Song Dynasty as in the dream. It's a pity that Zhao Ji is not a magic pen Ma Liang, he can only paint good dreams, but he can't paint reality.

It's not impossible for Song and Jin to form an alliance, but you can't give too much sweetness to the people of Jin, otherwise you will have a big appetite, and the little snake will become a giant python, and one day, a big drama of a snake swallowing an elephant will be staged.

No matter how angry Zhao Yougong is, he can't change the reality after all, and now that the document has been issued to the Ministry of Rites, it is waiting to be announced to the world. If you stop it, you can only stop it when you negotiate, but unfortunately this time Zhao Guanjia played a clever trick and took advantage of his departure from Beijing to negotiate the covenant. Zhao Yougong didn't blame the Intelligence Department, he asked the Intelligence Department to focus on the Jiangnan side, plus there were Concubine Liu and Yang Lian in the palace, and he didn't worry too much, but Zhao Ji's negotiation speed was so fast that Concubine Liu and Yang Lian didn't even have time to react.

On the fourth day of the eighth month, notices were plastered all over Bianliang, and the content was naturally about the alliance between Song and Jin. The common people don't know what the aftermath of the Song-Jin Covenant is, they only know that the current official family has the ambition to take back the land of the clouds, so the voice of "the official family is wise" is being recited in the streets and alleys, and for a while, the limelight of the Zhao official family actually overshadowed the nephew who had made great achievements.

In the palace of the king of Chu, Zhao Yougong ignored the voices outside, it was superfluous to say anything at this time, it was better to take advantage of the time to ponder the current matter. At the stone table, His Royal Highness Zhao and Wang Yuyan sat down, Zhao Yougong held a wet handkerchief, wiping his sweaty forehead, Wang Yuyan frowned, holding a brush in his hand, nodded for a while and shook his head for a while.

Recently, the little lady of the Wang family has been thinking about how to help His Royal Highness Zhao study martial arts, Zhao Yougong intends to create a new martial arts and integrate what he has learned together, Wang Yuyan has long known this, but this kind of thing is easier said than done. Zhao Yougong saw that Wang Yuyan's delicate forehead was already full of sweat, walked over and wiped it for her with a handkerchief, and comforted her with a smile, "If you can't think of a way, don't force it, look at your urgency." ”

"Your Highness actually has a way, but I don't know if Your Highness dares to give it a try?" Wang Yuyan blushed and smiled shyly.

Zhao Yougong was very surprised, sat on the stone pier next to him and asked, "What is the way?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, before leaving the palace, the slave family had thought about this, and read the classics in the Zhuangzi, and found that there was really no new learning in the real sense of this martial arts, it was nothing more than a novel concept. But a new concept of martial arts, ever-changing, but there are two Luo, one is the epiphany after the accumulation of time, and the other is to break through the self under the predicament. For example, the creation of the Vajra palm by the Bodhidharma Patriarch is a breakthrough of the self when he fights with the Mahayana Venerable, and the flower finger is the epiphany of the Zen master after accidentally watching the flowers and plants sink.
