The time slowly came to the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the news that Zhao Gu announced a rebellion in the sixteen states of Yanyun finally gradually spread to Kaifeng City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zhao Guangyi learned of this, his anger was irrepressible, and he directly threw the things on the dragon case to the ground in the Zichen Palace, and cursed loudly, without the demeanor that an emperor should have.

All the ministers in the palace sighed, they had long been aware that Zhao Gu had been suspected and calculated again and again, and sooner or later something would cause trouble, so they had been very worried about the arrival of this day, but they didn't expect that this day would come after all.

Especially the governor Li Fu, the relationship between him and Zhao Gu can be said to be the closest among all officials except Zhao Pu, hearing that Zhao Gu rebelled, he couldn't even raise his anger to come, Zhao Gu went all the way, he was in contact with the most, he knew that even if Zhao Gu was a rebellion, it was also forced out by Zhao Guangyi.

opened his mouth, Li Fu had the heart to intercede for Zhao Gu, but in the end he didn't speak, deep in his heart, he might also feel that Zhao Gu had not done anything wrong, but years of feudal education made him unable to question Zhao Guangyi's mind.

Mu Gong went as the prime minister, but he was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, Zhao Gu has done things without revealing anything, and now the north may not know what it has become."

Zhao Guangyi glanced at Mu Gong with an almost crazy expression, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Zhao Gu, Zhao Gu, there is a way in heaven, you don't want to go, you have to go against me, right? I thought that as long as I grabbed your family and made you willing to do things for me, it would be enough, but you have to embark on this desperate road, so good...... Come on, go and bring all the family members of Zhao Gu, the traitor, to Kaifeng, and I will behead them in front of the whole world! ”

What the!

As soon as Zhao Guangyi's words came out, the ministers of the full hall directly let out an irrepressible roar, all of which were shocked and inexplicable!

It turned out that the emperor actually kidnapped Zhao Gu's family and threatened him? No wonder he rebelled directly!

Many radical ministers watched Zhao Guangyi's gaze change, and they no longer respected at the beginning, but became jealous, and even those ministers who had always been conceited and upright gentlemen looked at Zhao Guangyi with a hint of vigilance.

The ministers couldn't help but think in their hearts, will the emperor one day also arrest our family members and threaten us?

What Zhao Guangyi didn't know was that after he released the news, he directly touched the bottom line of the ministers, and from this moment on, he began to gradually lose the trust of the ministers.

Since ancient times, there has been a gap between monarchs and ministers, some reasons are because the courtiers offended the monarch, but more because the monarch did something that made the courtiers sad and jealous, the courtiers are not afraid of the monarch's incompetence, nor are they afraid of his mediocrity, as long as the monarch can still listen to persuasion, they have a way to govern the country, even if it is okay to maintain the status quo, but if you meet a monarch who does not play cards according to common sense, almost crazy, even the most loyal courtiers, I am afraid that they will have fear and jealousy of him, right?

Zhao Guangyi's move is completely crazy, since ancient times, how can a monarch use the lives of his courtiers as a threat to let him do things for himself?

If everyone did the same, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

The most important thing is that after Zhao Guangyi did this, he didn't mention it to anyone at all, and he actually planned to enslave Zhao Gu for the rest of his life, which is really shocking.

The so-called everything must be said to people, which means that a person who is upright and upright cannot let people know about anything, and although all the affairs of a country cannot be made public, at least in addition to the emperor, the prime minister, the prime minister, these high-ranking officials should be clear, Zhao Guangyi is not even willing to tell them, so he plotted to kill the prince of the dynasty without authorization, which is clearly ignoring the power of the ministers, ignoring the law, and ignoring the world.

At this moment, even Mu Gong and Lu Mengzheng were a little scared, if he was suspicious of Zhao Guangyi one day, would he also grab his family and threaten him?

What's even more worrying is that if Zhao Guangyi is allowed to do this, won't the world be chaotic? If the future monarchs did the same and followed Zhao Guangyi's example, wouldn't the entire Great Song Dynasty become his slaves?

As soon as Zhao Guangyi's words came out, it was no exaggeration to say that he had offended all the officials present at the same time, so no one took his words at all, and the scene fell silent for a while, and even Mu Gong and Lu Mengzheng ignored him at all.

The ministers were unprecedentedly united at this moment, collectively confronting Zhao Guangyi's autocracy and domineering, which was the first confrontation between the minister's power and the monarch's power in the Great Song Dynasty.

As soon as Zhao Guangyi's words came out, when he saw the reaction of the ministers, he knew that he had made a mistake again, and hurriedly explained.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't mean to kidnap Zhao Gu's family, it was really what Zhao Gu did that made me too uneasy, and I had no choice but to do it. Don't you all know that he privately owned 20,000 soldiers and horses in Western Xia? The most important thing is that he is secretly controlling Xia Weibing and Li Jiqian, and confronting the Great Song Dynasty, how can I allow him? This is already equivalent to a rebellion, and it is not an exaggeration for me to kidnap his family, right? ”

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, Duke Zhuo Guo had been living in seclusion in Jiangling Mansion for more than a year, and you forced him out, and it was reasonable for him to react in order to protect himself." Li Fu stood up and said, his tone did not hide in the slightest, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi was about to get angry, but seeing that the other ministers did not refute Li Fu's intentions, he forced it down and said: "But the plan for the western expedition was formulated by him, which caused the defeat of Yi Dechao and the loss of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, can't I cure him?" ”

"When Yi Dechao burned down the granary of Western Xia and defeated it repeatedly, didn't the emperor say that you made this plan?" Li Fu said again.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhao Guangyi's eyes: "I said so at the beginning, but it was because Zhao Gu decided to retreat, and I didn't want to cause him trouble because of this, but it was a fact that Yi Dechao was defeated. ”

Li Fu sneered: "Facts? Your Majesty, you should also know that Zhao Gu's initial plan was originally very good, but Mi Dechao was a person with great ambition and talent, and he was embarrassed and useful, which led to the failure of the Western Expedition, how could Zhao Gu be blamed for this matter? ”

"Bold Li Fu, are you questioning my abuse of private information?" Zhao Guangyi was hit by Li Fu one after another, and he was already angry, and he couldn't hold back anymore and reprimanded.

Li Fu was not convinced, and said, "Isn't it? Yi Dechao was mediocre and incompetent, he killed tens of thousands of soldiers during the Northern Expedition that year, and killed tens of thousands of people during the Western Expedition, but the emperor did not think of killing him at the beginning. ”
