Besides, on September 12, Zhao Guangyi and the ministers went to the early dynasty as always, dealing with complicated state affairs, although the ministers looked at Zhao Guangyi with strange eyes, but no one dared to show it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As he was talking, a eunuch suddenly walked in from the side door and handed Zhao Ling'er a bamboo tube.

Zhao Ling'er handed him over to Zhao Guangyi without a trace, Zhao Guangyi took it apart and took a look, and immediately threw the bamboo tube out.

"Okay, you Zhao Gu, you dare to rebel openly!"

The ministers were stunned, not knowing what kind of madness Zhao Guangyi was smoking, and they all looked at him.

Zhao Guangyi pointed to the bamboo tube and the letter inside, and said, "Look at it for yourself." ”

The ministers nodded, and the deacon, Lu Mengzheng, was the first to read it, and after reading it, it was passed on to the others.

However, I saw that there were two letters in this bamboo tube, both of which came from Western Xia, which were written by Xia Weibing, the Duke of Xia Guo, and Li Jiqian, the Duke of Anguo.

There is not much difference between the letters of the two, and there is only one meaning in summary, that is, the tribes of Western Xia are grateful to Zhao Gu for coming up with the method of dividing the grass, and they are grateful to Zhao Gu, so they set up an immortal card for him at home, hoping that Zhao Gu will live a long life and continue to contribute to the construction of the Great Song Dynasty.

The letters of the two also said that although Zhao Gu set the Western Xia, but I don't know when another huge force appeared in the Western Xia, this force is strong, far from the two of them can resist, so I hope that Zhao Gu will continue to take command, protect the safety of the entire Western Xia, and let the herdsmen graze with peace of mind.

After reading this letter, the ministers were all shocked, their eyelashes were even empty, where did they not understand the meaning of Xia Weibing and Li Jiqian, they clearly knew that Zhao Gu was in trouble, and wanted to keep Zhao Gu!

Just imagine, if Zhao Gu was really so loved by the people in the territory of Western Xia, if Zhao Guangyi took the liberty of killing Zhao Gu, would the people of Western Xia agree? At present, the Western Xia has just been pacified, to put it bluntly, the power is still in the hands of the Western Xia people, if they rebel, wouldn't it become a joke to Dingding Western Xia?

What's more, the final meaning of the two is also very intriguing, when did a powerful force appear in Western Xia? Even Xia Weibing and Li Jiqian are not opponents? This is clearly a lie!

It is estimated that these two people want to threaten the imperial court through this force. Once Zhao Guangyi continued to be suspicious of Zhao Gu, they would secretly kill the officials sent by the imperial court to Western Xia, and then push it to this force, and if Zhao Gu was not safe for a day, they would not let the imperial court accept Western Xia for a day.

In this way, wouldn't this nominally recovered Western Xia become a state within a state again, and the Great Song Dynasty had his territorial rights, but he had no control at all.

It's hard to ride a tiger!

This is the feeling of the ministers after reading the letter, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to successfully receive the Western Xia, Zhao Gu must not move, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will never have the strength to go west for the third time. In other words, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to receive Western Xia, it must let Zhao Gu live a nourishing life.

Whether to accept Western Xia or kill Zhao Gu became a choice that the Great Song Dynasty had to make.

But the ministers all know that Zhao Guangyi is the only one who wants to kill Zhao Gu, and now it depends on his choice, whether he will choose strong national strength or choose to satisfy his own selfishness.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Zhao Guangyi, making him shine more and more.

What the ministers thought was different, Zhao Guangyi felt that Zhao Gu had established such prestige in Western Xia, and if over time, Western Xia restored its national strength, it would inevitably grow stronger and stronger for Zhao Gu's power, and then they should cooperate inside and outside, can Zhao Guangyi, the emperor, continue to be the emperor?

It was also at this moment that Zhao Guangyi became more and more determined to kill Zhao Gu, even if it might cause a rebellion in Western Xia, which might make the minister very disappointed in him, he would not look back.

So, Zhao Guangyi said: "Have you all seen it clearly? Zhao Gu colluded with the Western Xia Fanbang with the intention of threatening the Great Song Dynasty, and now you still want to add an official to him? In my opinion, it is better to kill him directly while he is still in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"But Your Majesty, Western Xia is currently also my Great Song Land! The people of Western Xia are also the people of my Great Song Dynasty, although the practices of Xia Guogong and An Guogong are to be discussed, but as courtiers, they have the right to write a book to discuss the government, according to the ministers, they just want to keep the Marquis of Zhao, and I hope Your Majesty will be tolerant! Li Fu frowned, but he was the first to stand up and object.

Zhao Guangyi's eyes narrowed: "Li Aiqing, are you interceding for Zhao Gu?" ”

Li Fu Yiran was not afraid of Zhao Guangyi's threat, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers often hear that the Holy Son of Heaven will never be punished for not teaching, not to mention that Marquis Zhao has contributed to the Great Song Dynasty, but he has no sins, even if he really makes a mistake, you should tolerate her and comfort him, instead of punishing him on trumped-up charges." ”

"Li Fu!"

Zhao Guangyi stood up from the dragon chair suddenly: "You are so bold, you dare to question me!" ”

Li Fu hurriedly lowered his head: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just has something to say, and I hope the emperor will think twice!" ”

With a cold smile, Zhao Guangyi said: "I know, you once went to Liao with Zhao Gu to envoy to the Liao State, I'm afraid that the two of you will be embarrassed at that time, right?" And he once gave you the attention of governing the homeless, but the personal relationship between the two of you is very good! ”

The implication is that the reason why Li Fu interceded for Zhao Gu was entirely because the two of them were embarrassed.

Li Fu, as the most orthodox literati, and led the position of the right counselor, where could Zhao Guangyi slander him like this, and he was immediately angry.

"Your Majesty, this is a bit of a curse, the minister is the right counselor, the head of the official, what can't you say? If the emperor is wrong, the minister can naturally say it, and ask the emperor to retract what he just said. ”

Zhao Guangyi continued to sneer: "I forgot, you are still the right counselor, well, I will remove you from the position of the right counselor, see if you dare to say more." ”

Saying that, Zhao Guangyi directly issued a holy decree and removed Li Fu from the post of right counselor, Li Fu was speechless with anger, from ancient times to the present, there are really few officials who have been convicted for their words, but he, Li Fu, has experienced this feeling today.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Li Fu trembled and said, "Since you want to be removed, please ask the emperor to remove my post of Kaifeng Mansion Yin." ”

"Okay, as you wish." Zhao Guangyi also moved the real fire, and immediately removed Li Fu from his post as the governor of the palace.

At this point, Li Fu was shocked and became a white body, and he was no longer an official.

When other officials saw this, where did they dare to say more than half a sentence, Zhao Guangyi at this time seemed to be crazy, and where did he listen to half a sentence of persuasion from others.
