Chapter 486: Zhao Ziyan
Zhao Shuo looked at the secret letter sent by Qin Hui, and his face was cloudy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The content of the info message is to inform Zhao Shuo that Mongolia may harass the coastal lands controlled by Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Shuo had known about this matter for a long time, because these days, the news of the harassment of the coastal generation has spread to Chang'an like snowflakes. And Zhao Shuo also gave a solution, that is, to send troops to coastal housing to protect the people.
Aren't you here to harass? Zhao Shuo provided the garrison with small cannonballs and muskets. When he came, the distance was bows and arrows and muskets, and when he was close, he threw small cannonballs, and Zhao Shuo's adjustment directly disabled the 'pirates' who came to attack.
As for the identities of these 'pirates', Zhao Shuo had already guessed. Moreover, Zhao Shuo also knew that this strategy was proposed by Qin Hui to Zhao Gou.
Qin Hui was in a hurry to find a contact, and Zhao Shuo also knew, but was the contact person so easy to find? Zhao Shuo had already sent a message to the contact person, and without his order, he couldn't see Qin Hui in private, otherwise he would be killed.
Qin Hui failed to find a contact, so he had to send someone to negotiate with Mongolia first. When the Mongolian side heard this, they sent people to harass them, thinking that this plan was good, and they could finally vent their evil anger. In addition, Qin Hui gave the promise of the Great Song Dynasty, the property seized by Mongolia will belong to Mongolia, and if there is a loss, the Great Song Dynasty will bear it with Mongolia, and promised, after the incident, to give Mongolia two huge warships.
This was a great temptation for the weak Mongols. So, after the two sides negotiated, the Mongolian navy immediately set off, divided into several teams, and launched an attack on Zhao Shuo.
This is also the matter of Zhao Shuo's counterattack.
And now, almost half a month has passed, and Qin Hui actually sent someone to send a secret letter, saying that the Mongolian fleet was going to attack Zhao Shuo's coastal places, isn't this an afterthought?
Hum! Zhao Shuo snorted lightly, Qin Hui decided that he couldn't find a contact person, and he was worried about being punished by Zhao Shuo, so he came up with such a strategy.
"Who are you?" Glancing at the envoy who delivered the letter, Zhao Shuo asked.
"Zhao Ziyan." The envoy was neither humble nor arrogant, and said sonorously.
"Zhao Ziyan?" Zhao Shuo frowned, he seemed to have seen this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Hasn't the prince seen me as a person, nor have you heard my name?" Zhao Ziyan was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Shuo's attitude, and his language suddenly became stern.
Zhao Shuo didn't answer, but deleted it in his mind. Zhao Ziyan, Zhao Ziyan, Zhao Ziyan......
"You are a filial ......" Zhao Shuo was about to say that it was the father of Xiaozong Zhao Yan, but thinking about it, it was still Zhao Gou who was the emperor, so he hurriedly changed the words later. Are you, Zhao Yan's father? ā
Zhao Ziyan nodded. "Exactly."
Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Ziyan with some confusion. In his memory, Zhao Yan and Qin Hui don't like each other. Now Zhao Yan's father is helping Qin Hui deliver the letter, which is really unexpected.
Seeing that Zhao Shuo didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Ziyan couldn't hold back a little. He came to Zhao Shuo, not just to help Qin Hui deliver the letter, he came to Zhao Shuo for his own business.
"Lord Wang, I am the sixth grandson of Emperor Taizu, according to the genealogy, you still have to call me uncle......"
Zhao Ziyan talked eloquently, but Zhao Shuo couldn't help frowning, what is the situation, come to recognize your relatives? Whether this guy is sick in the brain or not, everyone knows the relationship between him and Zhao Gou, and now come to confess to him, isn't it boring to ask for it?
"Okay, okay, uncle is no, okay, okay......" Zhao Shuo interrupted Zhao Ziyan. Uncle, if you have come to deliver a letter, and now that the letter has been delivered, you can go, and if there is anything else, please let us know. ā
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly. "To be honest, I really have a lot of things to do, and I really don't have much time to ......"
"Lord Wang, this is your attitude towards the clan royal family?" Zhao Ziyan looked at Zhao Shuo, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.
Zhao Ziyan is Zhao Yan's father, the biological father of Song Xiaozong in the future, and he has a considerable right to speak in the Great Song Dynasty. Such a person, Zhao Shuo knows, it is better not to be offended.
"Hehehe......" Zhao Shuo chuckled. Don't blame uncle, don't blame it. You know, my other uncle was bent on killing me, so, to be honest, I was a little scared when I saw my uncle......"
Zhao Shuo pulled the contradiction onto Zhao Gou, which poked Zhao Ziyan's pain and resonated with him. "Although Zhao Gou has some ability, he is cunning and scheming, and he will eventually harm others and himself."
Hearing Zhao Ziyan say this, Zhao Shuo felt a little relieved and asked tentatively. "Uncle, then you came to me, what the hell is the matter? It won't be for me to send troops to attack another uncle, Zhao Gou, right? I don't want to do this kind of cannibalism. ā
Zhao Ziwei waved his hand. "I'm here to get justice for my son."
"For your son, come to me to seek justice?" Zhao Shuo frowned. For Zhao Ziyan's son, Zhao Shuo only knew Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan was adopted by Zhao Gou, and now Zhao Ziyan came to him to seek justice, he was really confused.
"Alas~!" Zhao Ziyan let out a long sigh, obviously, and realized that there was some ambiguity in what he said just now. "Lord Wang, that's right. My son Zhao Yan was recruited into the palace by Zhao Gou when he was only three years old and adopted as an adopted son. My family was not happy, but Zhao Gou is the emperor, and he has no son now, thinking that the child may be able to go further in the future and ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Honor, so he endured everything. ā
"But after this Zhao Gou recruited my son into the palace, he ignored it, it has been more than two years, and there is no mention of the establishment of the prince."
"What's even more annoying is that there is another Zhao Zhuo who was adopted with my son, and this Zhao Zhuo is very popular with Zhao Gou......"
After a long pause, Zhao Ziyan continued. "If there is no emperor's order, we will admit it. Therefore, I discussed with Zhao Gou in private, and if he wanted to make Zhao Zhuo the crown prince, please let me bring Zhao Yan back. ā
Zhao Ziwei sighed. "I really don't want my son to be thrown in the palace like this, but Zhao Gou actually vetoed my proposal, and said that I was lying about the government, and then drove me out, I don't understand, I did something wrong for my son."
"Uncle, what do you want to say after you say so much?" Zhao Shuo asked.
"I want to negotiate a private agreement with the prince." Zhao Ziyan lowered his voice.
"Private pact?" Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Ziyan with a serious question. What kind of official position Zhao Ziyan has in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Shuo is not clear, and Zhao Shuo is not clear about his status. He can only be sure that Zhao Ziyan's connections in the Great Song Dynasty should be very extensive and there should be some influence.
But a private pact with such a person? Zhao Shuo couldn't make up his mind, and he couldn't make up his mind.
