Chapter 353: Secret Fight (3)
As soon as Su Xiaocheng and the others were rescued, the guards of the brothel immediately discovered the abnormality and quickly chased after them, but they could only pass the news to Kaifeng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Linger received the news a day later, and after receiving the news, he couldn't sleep well, for fear that he would be implicated in this matter and be beaten by Zhao Guangyi again.
But he didn't dare to hide it and not report it, so he could only take advantage of serving Zhao Guangyi to report the matter.
And the facts were not what Zhao Ling'er expected, after Zhao Guangyi heard the news, he screamed angrily, and the big slap fell on Zhao Ling'er's face like a torrential rain, violent and urgent.
It's just that after a while, Zhao Ling'er's two faces swelled up, like steamed buns.
He stood there and didn't dare to move, until Zhao Guangyi was tired, he suddenly knelt on the ground and begged Zhao Guangyi to spare his life.
The anger in Zhao Guangyi's eyes did not disappear at all, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Didn't you arrange for Xiao Yi and their senior brothers to guard it?" Who can save from them? ”
Zhao Ling'er lowered her head and replied with a little grievance: "Your Majesty, you said earlier that you would recruit Xiaoyi and them to return to Beijing to escort them, so I transferred them back." ”
"You." Zhao Guangyi realized that this incident was his mistake, but he didn't think that he should be held responsible, and continued to ask: "Didn't I let you kill Su Xiaocheng and them before?" Why are they not dead after seven days? Also, how did these gangsters find them? ”
Zhao Ling'er replied: "The first time the slave asked the little eunuch to pass the decree, it was indeed to let Xiao Yi and them kill Su Xiaocheng and others, but Xiao Yi and they didn't do it, because they felt that the matter was very important, and they were worried that someone was falsely preaching the holy decree, so they sent someone to Beijing to inquire, and then the emperor said that he would escort Su Xiaocheng and them into Beijing, and the slave did not let Xiao Yi kill Su Xiaocheng and others. ”
"As for why the gangsters knew the hiding place of Su Xiaocheng and the others, it should have been the little eunuch who followed the last decree, and at that time, Xiaoyi and the others had already been ordered to enter Beijing, and the guards of Su Xiaocheng and the others were ordinary guards, so they were probably not the opponents of the gangsters."
Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed with a deep light, and he said after a while: "It is appropriate for Xiaoyi and others to send people to Beijing to inquire, which just shows that they are cautious and loyal to me, so give each of them a reward of 100 copper coins." ”
Zhao Ling'er was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Zhao Guangyi to suddenly divert the topic again, and after nodding, Zhao Ling'er asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what about Henan Mansion?" ”
"You don't have to worry about that matter, pass it on to the ministers' imperial study to see it." Zhao Guangyi said coldly.
Zhao Ling'er couldn't figure out what Zhao Guangyi was thinking, but he also invited Mu Gong and Lu Mengzheng and others according to his words, and when everyone saw the slap marks on his face, they immediately guessed that it was Zhao Guangyi, and after looking at each other, all the ministers sighed slightly.
Thinking that Zhao Ling'er is usually quite favored by Zhao Guangyi, he is his absolute confidant, but Zhao Guangyi can still play such a heavy hand, which shows that he is cold, and the ministers are naturally a little worried, afraid that one day Zhao Guangyi will treat him like this.
An emperor can make his courtiers so jealous, but it can be regarded as some achievement, albeit a negative achievement.
In the imperial study, after the ministers arrived, Zhao Guangyi also arrived and sat on the dragon chair.
"Everyone Aiqing, Zhao Gu's family members have been released by me." Zhao Guangyi said in the first sentence.
The ministers' faces were overjoyed, and they said secretly: "Is the emperor enlightened?" ”
Listen to Zhao Guangyi again: "Speaking of which, I don't have anything to be sorry for Zhao Gu, but I just kidnapped his family, and now that his family has been put back, he can stop fighting, right?" The world is already in chaos, does he still want to fight for his own selfish desires? ”
This......?
When the ministers heard Zhao Guangyi's remarks, they couldn't help but look at each other, deeply confused by Zhao Guangyi's logic.
According to Zhao Guangyi's meaning, the reason why Zhao Gu raised troops was because his family was arrested, and now that Zhao Guangyi has released his family, he has to stop the army, as if he robbed other people's things, causing others to chase after him for a few streets, as long as he changed his things, others had to go back.
Where does this make sense?
His words, even the most corrupt Confucian, can't stand it, it's just unreasonable.
Zhao Guangyi glanced at everyone slightly: "The so-called monarch wants the minister to die and has to die, even if I shouldn't arrest Zhao Gu's family, but now it has been returned, and it has not caused harm to anyone, does he still want to continue to attack the monarch with his ministers?" This is not a gentleman's doing, is it? ”
The ministers continued to be confused, and they couldn't figure out what kind of madness Zhao Guangyi was doing today, asking Zhao Gu to withdraw his troops for a while, and splitting the land to the king of Western Xia and Yunnan for a while, without the slightest principle at all.
It is precisely because of the lack of principles that Zhao Guangyi will kill Su Xiaocheng and others within seven days, and bring people to Kaifeng for a while, which makes Xiaozhuzi and them follow the vine and rescue Su Xiaocheng and them.
If Zhao Guangyi had made up his mind to kill Su Xiaocheng and them at the beginning, they would definitely have died a long time ago, although killing them should not be a big deal, but it is better than a chicken and a flying egg.
This is also one of Zhao Guangyi's biggest shortcomings, he is not smart enough, he likes to play some cleverness, he is not persistent enough, and he likes to make random ideas, change orders day and day, and have no certainty.
"Then I don't know how the emperor plans to settle Zhao Gu, the Duke of Zhuoguo? Even if he retires from the army, and the Song Dynasty is still prosperous, it is impossible for the emperor to let him stay in the north, right? Li Fu asked.
"Then we have to see what Zhao Gu wants, which Aiqing is willing to negotiate with Zhao Gu about Zhao'an as a recruiting envoy?" Zhao Guangyi said.
"Let the minister go." Li Fu thought for a while and said.
"No, Li Aiqing, you are suitable to go, Lu Aiqing, are you willing to go?" Zhao Guangyi said a hint of cunning in his eyes, and asked Lu Mengzheng.
"Yes." was named by Zhao Guangyi in court, but Lu Mengzheng had to agree.
Zhao Guangyi laughed: "Okay, Aiqing, you can go and explore Zhao Gu's tone and see what he wants to do before he stops." ”
"Yes."
Zhao Guangyi nodded, and then let the ministers leave, this meeting, which was called a discussion, but was actually a direct order, was over.
The ministers were also helpless, except for Lu Mengzheng and Li Fu who said a few words in this meeting, the others had become a background decoration at all, but who called Zhao Guangyi the emperor, these officials did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
After everyone came out of the imperial study, they were busy, they were all high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty, in important positions, and they were usually busy to death, but they were not as willful as Zhao Guangyi, they wanted to hold a meeting, and after a delay in this meeting, they were not sure that they would be busy until late today.
