Chapter 276: A Discussion

Time back to Zhao Gu in Western Xia just received the holy decree, Kaifeng City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The news of the recovery of the whole territory of Western Xia has already spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty, the people of Kaifeng City are the first to know, after knowing the news, the people have hung out red lanterns, lit up artillery battles, to celebrate this hard-won victory, its atmosphere is warm, than the New Year is more lively.

Above the court, the officials knew the news early, and they slapped Zhao Guangyi on the back again, making Zhao Guangyi rise high, almost shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Someone immediately proposed to add officials to the soldiers of the Western Expedition, but this offended Zhao Guangyi's rebellion.

He was already jealous of Zhao Gu, and always hoped that Zhao Gu would fall to death while walking, choke to death by drinking water, and sleep to death, so he naturally didn't want to add an official to Zhao Gu, especially after the success of the Western Expedition, his jealousy of Zhao Gu reached the point where it could not be attached.

Just imagine, how big is the land area of the Great Song Dynasty? Western Xia accounted for one-sixth of the land area of the Great Song Dynasty, plus the sixteen states of Yanyun that had been recovered before, it can be said that Zhao Gu had laid down half of the country for the Great Song Dynasty.

With such a contribution, how can it not make Zhao Guangyi sleep, and Zhao Gu also invented greenhouse technology, Shenwei Thunderbolt, and before that, he suppressed bandits twice, dealt with the displaced people who fled due to natural disasters, and also brought thousands of hectares of farmland to Kaifeng, and its prestige among the people is also not to be underestimated.

If he is really given a meritorious service, I am afraid that a princely title will not be enough, but the Great Song Dynasty has always only had a dead prince with a different surname, but there has never been a living founding prince.

Don't you know that since ancient times, there has been an iron law that a different surname cannot be crowned a king? Even if the relationship between the monarchs of the Great Song Dynasty and the ministers was quite gentle, they had never been crowned princes with different surnames, at most, they were posthumously crowned after the death of the heroes, and they were not hereditary.

But Zhao Gu's merits are enough to deserve the title of prince, and he is also the founding prince of the country, the kind that can be inherited by future generations.

This is going to kill Zhao Guangyi, with Zhao Gu's natural resources, if he becomes the prince of the Great Song Dynasty second only to him, he will inevitably be supported by more and more people, but Zhao Guangyi is obviously not talented enough, Zhao Guangyi has reason to suspect that if Zhao Gu is allowed to mix in the Great Song Dynasty for another three years, he will be the emperor.

Just when the ministers were discussing how to seal Zhao Gu, Zhao Guangyi finally broke out.

"Add the seal, you will know the seal, and when Zhao Gu's credit is greater than the sky one day, I'm afraid you will push him to be the emperor!" Zhao Guangyi shouted violently.

At this time, there are no idlers in the Zichen Palace, and the people who can participate in this court meeting are all high-ranking officials from the third rank or above, all of whom are the pillars of the three provinces and six departments, and the other is the top officials of the three envoys, the Privy Council, and the top officials of the three yas, or a military general like Cao Bin.

But Rao was like this, and everyone was taken aback when they heard Zhao Guangyi speak like this in front of everyone.

This is a heart-wrenching statement!

If anyone dares to speak to Zhao Gu at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that they will push him to be the emperor in the future?

Zhao Guangyi was really angry this time, unlike the previous few times he couldn't bear it, so for a while, there was silence in the Zichen Palace, and none of the ministers dared to speak.

"Ouch."

Suddenly, a high-ranking official shouted, and then fell down with a pale face, and the official next to him immediately went to call the imperial doctor, and at the same time carried him down and rectified it.

After a while, several more officials fell, as if they had been contagious, and they were carried down with them.

One after another, there were more than 20 high-ranking officials left in the Zichen Palace, and these people were Zhao Pu, Lu Mengzheng, Cao Bin, Hu Yanzan, Pan Mei, Yang Yanzhao, Zhang Qixian, Zhao Changyan, Kou Zhun, Chen Xinghua, Li Fu, .......

All in all, these people are the highest officials or deputies of various departments, and when they stop here, they can almost represent the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guangyi regretted it at this time, he always knew how to forbear, although the purpose of forbearance could be guessed by anyone, but after all, it was not put on the surface, but as soon as his words came out today, he knew that he had done something wrong.

As an emperor, he actually said such a heart-wrenching remark when a courtier had no sin and was not present at all, which showed his jealous and jealous nature.

In this way, once the news spreads, who else would dare to do things under him? What should his descendants think?

"That...... I drank two more glasses of wine in the morning, and my head was a little dizzy, so I'll talk about this later. Zhao Guangyi rubbed his forehead and pretended to be weak and said.

All the courtiers nodded their heads to show their understanding, and then said goodbye and left, and went out, but saw that those high-ranking officials who were not lightly ill were all waiting outside the palace gate safe and sound, everyone looked at each other, shook their heads, and then went back to their respective homes.

From this point of view, where these officials are sick, they are obviously pretending to be sick, they don't want to bear Zhao Guangyi's suspicion, and they are afraid that Zhao Guangyi will force them to express their position, so they pretend to be sick and retreat.

Zhao Guangyi naturally knew about the scene outside the palace gate through the reports of his subordinates, but he was helpless, not to mention whether he really controlled everyone in the court, even if he really completely controlled these people, after his heart-wrenching words were spoken, these people would probably have other thoughts.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Gu said to Zhao Ling'er: "It seems that it's time to start your plan." ”

Zhao Ling'er took a deep breath: "The emperor can rest assured, I will arrange for my henchmen to deliver a 'fake' holy decree, 'deceive' Zhao Gu's army, and then arrange someone to assassinate him secretly, and I will never let him return to Kaifeng alive." ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded and sighed: "Today, I am too anxious, seeing that the ministers support Zhao Gu, I have lost my sense of proportion, so even if Zhao Gu dies on this road, although the ministers do not say it on the surface, they will be more and more sure that I assassinated him, but the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

Zhao Ling'er naturally knew that Zhao Guangyi was too impulsive today, but he still persuaded: "Let them know if you know, anyway, except for Zhao Gu, everyone else has no soldiers and no power, so what can they do?" Your Majesty, you are the Emperor after all, who dares to disobey your will. ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "Now I can only think like this, you go down and make arrangements, you must kill with one hit." When I am tired, I command someone to carry me back to rest. ”

"Yes."

Zhao Ling'er found eighteen eunuchs and carried Zhao Guangyi back to the palace in a sedan chair.
