In this matter, Zhao Hao was an outsider and did not participate in it. If there is any involvement, it is to add fuel to the fire, and to some extent contribute to the final result.
If it weren't for him showing off his might, Chai Minyan wouldn't know that Lin Zhao was convicted and imprisoned, so how could he beg the Empress Dowager?
Zhao Hao has always held a grudge against Lin Zhao for several years. This time Lin Zhao asked, he was undoubtedly quite happy, and it could be regarded as a revenge, he was looking forward to it infinitely, but the final result disappointed him.
Lin Zhao was safe and sound, acquitted.
Not only did he not die, but he also had the title of Earl Weiyuan, and the earl naturally could not be compared with his princely title. But there was another thing that broke his heart, or hit him hard.
That is the Empress Dowager who gave her marriage and asked Chai Minyan to marry Lin Zhao.
At that time, he happened to be in the surging Baoci Palace, and the front foot mother brought back the bad news that his grandmother was not allowed to marry, and the back foot heard the decree of marriage.
Zhao Hao doesn't necessarily like Chai Minyan much, but it is undoubtedly a face-saving thing to marry the first beauty in Bianjing as the princess, even if it is good to take it home and make a vase!
In addition, he knew that Chai Minyan liked Lin Zhao, and if he could snatch his love with a knife, it would be a kind of revenge for Lin Zhao. It is also good not to be able to take revenge on him personally, and to ravage his woman. In this matter, Zhao Hao's heart is a little distorted, just to satisfy vanity and revenge, and at the same time, why not be a kind of jealousy?
So he begged his mother Gao Tao to come forward to preside, and he didn't dare not agree if he wanted to come to the Chai family. But I never expected it. The old grandmother actually stepped in sideways. Match Chai Minyan to others.
Zhao Hao couldn't figure it out. Old grandmother, what's the matter? I have always loved myself, why is he so determined in this matter? Don't love your grandson, but you want to cheapen others? What's going on? The decree has been made, and the matter cannot be changed. Because of filial piety and humility, he couldn't go to the Empress Dowager to theorize.
If it was someone else, it would be fine, but Chai Minyan's husband was Lin Zhao, the person he hated the most.
The revenge failed, and it was also slapped in the face loudly. made Zhao Hao extremely faceless. When this matter spreads, many people will undoubtedly look down on themselves again and laugh at them secretly. Zhao Hao was very angry, Zhao Hao was very melancholy, and even almost crazy.
What made him even more depressed was that when he heard that Uncle Cao Guo recognized Chai Minyan as a righteous daughter, Zhao Hao couldn't cry or laugh even more! They have a deep relationship with the Cao family, and their father Zhao Zongshi passed on to Renzong and Empress Cao, who is Cao Tong's nominal nephew. And Gao Taotao himself is the niece of the Cao family, a dual relationship. It's very intimate.
No matter how you calculate it, Cao Tong is Zhao Hao's uncle. Chai Minyan is his cousin when he is his daughter-in-law, so his husband Lin Zhao is his cousin-in-law. Not to mention the woman who robbed herself, her rank was still higher than herself, Zhao Hao was really annoyed.
As a result, Zhao Hao involuntarily hated his grandmother Cao and his uncle Cao Tong. Of course, the one who holds the most grudge is undoubtedly the big enemy Lin Zhao!
If there is a chance, this revenge must be avenged!
Zhao Hao went out of the palace angrily, and Gao Tao was helpless in his eyes!
To be honest, Cao's decision also made her a little abrupt.
The grace of saving lives is completely understandable, Zhao Fukang and Cao Tong are the most important people to the Cao family, and it is normal and understandable to sell Chai Minyan to save face.
Just going to the court in person, is it too concerned?
There is also Cao Tong who recognizes the righteous daughter, knowing that Chai Minyan is the same age as several grandchildren, why not recognize a granddaughter? The same is lifting, the same intimacy. Why do you have to recognize a righteous woman? What is the embarrassing situation we are in today? Is it really just a whim?
Gao Taotao always felt that things didn't seem to be so simple, but he couldn't say what went wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The most depressed are undoubtedly Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing, who are fidgeting and melancholy about the moon at the moment.
In this game, they lost, inexplicably, and lost in a mess.
Obviously, victory was already in sight, but in the end, he suddenly killed the queen mother, turned the tide and reversed the situation.
The core is here, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager to control the situation, even if the Zhe family and the seed family came forward together, even if there were still survivors in Dashun City, what could they do?
As long as there is no pressure from above, they dare to ask for beheadings directly, and Emperor Zhao Ji will cover them up afterwards. It's a pity that they don't have this opportunity at all, even if the knife is already on Lin Zhao's neck, they still haven't cut it down......
Is Lin Zhao's luck so good? He planned like that, but he couldn't help him. The strong sense of frustration made Wang Yan question himself a little. He thinks highly of himself, but he has repeatedly lost to Lin Zhao, and the psychological blow is really not small.
Is he really inferior to Lin Zhao? God is helping him?
Chai Minyan?
Wang Yan thought of this first beauty in Bianjing, and from a moment of glimpse by the Iron Tower Lake, Wang Yan was amazed by Chai Minyan's beauty and admired it very much.
Last year's Qixi Festival, by the pond of Jin Ming, he also once showed his love to the beauties with a song "Eyes Charming", but unfortunately Lin Zhao's "Queqiao Immortal" stole the limelight. There is a way that a gentleman does not win people's love, Wang Yan decided that it was Lin Zhao who snatched love with a knife, so he held a grudge. But he forgot that Chai Minyan had never belonged to him, and he didn't even look at him properly.
The son of a dignified prime minister, is it not as good as Lin Zhao, who was born as a servant?
Jealousy, Wang Yan didn't realize that his jealousy had become stronger and stronger.
Lu Huiqing was also in a bad mood, and she planned to take revenge for her participation this time, but in the end, she couldn't take revenge, but instead took the life and reputation of her third brother, which made her also suffer.
When the gains really outweigh the losses, and the big blow, Lu Huiqing has hatred. In addition to hating the great enemy Lin Zhao, Wang Yan is also among his hatreds, if he hadn't brought himself in, how could this be the situation? The third brother will not die, and many things can be avoided.
There is also a way for people like Wang Yan to make the best use of it. Pull his dead brother as a scapegoat. Although it is also a last resort expedient. But Lu Huiqing always had an uncomfortable feeling in her heart. Perhaps the younger brother's spirit in heaven will blame him. After all, it is a deep brotherhood, and the two siblings died, and Lu Huiqing is not sad or sad, which is fake.
Now in addition to Lin Zhao, there is one more name on his revenge list, and that is Wang Yan. And Wang Yan, who thought he was smart, didn't realize this......
Both of them were in a heavy mood, looked at each other without saying a word, and were silent for a long time before parting. When Wang Yan returned home full of melancholy. only to find that his father Wang Anshi did not rest, but just stood silently by the window.
The window was open, and the half-round bright moon was sprinkled on the window, and Wang Anshi's back looked a little desolate and lonely. In Bianjing in winter, the cold hit people, but Wang Anshi didn't seem to be aware of it and didn't care.
Today's events have touched him a lot, his reputation and authority have been damaged, and his face has been disgraced, and the prince who has gone through ups and downs can bear it.
The most difficult thing for him to accept is undoubtedly the change in Lee Fugui. How did a promising young man become like this now? I supported him so firmly. didn't expect it to end up like this, Wang Anshi felt very uncomfortable. At the same time, there is a feeling of being deceived, and the feeling of being deceived by friends is really uncomfortable, and there are ...... All in all, this is a great blow to Wang Xianggong.
Wang Anshi also began to doubt his judgment, it turned out that he also made mistakes, maybe he did something wrong in some things......
Wang Xianggong, who is known for his stubbornness, can realize this, which is really commendable. But what is it like to have a long-held belief in your heart that has been held on for a long time to be shaken? At this moment, Wang Anshi was a little painful.
Wang Yan stood at the door, looking at his father's somewhat lonely and melancholy back, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. Am I wrong? Is it wrong to keep his father's phase, power, and the glory of the royal family?
The biggest difference between their father and son is that Wang Yan may be more enthusiastic about power, while Wang Anshi may have a great ideal in mind......
"Father, the night is heavy and the weather is cold, you be careful of catching a cold!" After being silent for a long time, Wang Yan finally opened his mouth to remind.
Wang Anshi's thoughts were interrupted, and when he turned to see his son, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Yuan Ze, where have you been?" ”
"I'm going to Jifu's house, Erlang is gone, it's the same situation today, I'll go and comfort him!"
Wang Anshi nodded lightly: "It's good to have this heart, but there are some things you shouldn't get involved in too much." ”
"Father?" Wang Yan's heart moved suddenly, could it be that everything he had done, did his father know everything? Wang Yan suddenly looked like a child who had made a mistake, and he was inexplicably a little cramped and uneasy. At the same time, another thought also faintly came to my mind, did my father know that he had always acquiesced to this?
So the character of the father? This is where Wang Yan's uneasiness stems. Sometimes he and Lu Huiqing are villains, just because his father is a decent man and a gentleman, and he disdains some things and it is inconvenient to take action. In Wang Yan's heart, his father is his role model. Even if he himself often does bad things ruthlessly, he hopes to have a fair and strict father, and at this moment......
Wang Anshi sighed: "I hate that I knew too late, all the mistakes have been cast into ......" As the prime minister, as a father, especially after the incident, can Wang Anshi still not know at all? Especially the drama of "righteous annihilation of relatives" staged by Lu Huiqing made Wang Xianggong suspicious. He is stubborn, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, and some things can be seen with a little scrutiny.
In this way, Wang Yan's heart felt a little better, and he said in a deep voice: "Father, the child is still confused for a while, and I hope to ......."
"Needless to say, fathers know that if it weren't for their father's recklessness, you wouldn't have ...... if you recklessly insisted on supporting Li Fugui" After Wang Anshi thought about it carefully, he already knew that he was at fault, and some of his son's practices were also to help him. It's just that there are some mistakes in the way, but Wang Anshi, who dotes on his son, feels that it can be forgiven.
"It's a pity that it ended up ......"
Wang Anshi's face gradually became a little more severe, and he said in a low voice: "Yuan Ze, your idea may be good, but the approach is a bit excessive." The fault is Li Fugui, the fault is for his father, it has nothing to do with Dongyang, this time I almost hurt him! ”
"But ......" In an instant, Wang Yan was sure that his father was still the father of the righteous gentleman before, and he was still kind. It's just that his stubborn character has spread to too many places, and many times it has become an obstacle. For example, in this matter, even the emperor took action. But why does the father have such a woman's kindness? Non-toxic not husband. Decent stubbornness will not make a big deal.
Wang Yan was a little disappointed. But he didn't dare to talk back to his father, he was indeed at fault in this matter. just whispered: "Yes, the child knows that he is wrong!" ”
"It's good to know your mistakes, put your mind on the right path in the future, and you apologize for your father on Jifu's side!" Wang Anshi's love for his son was a little too much, and he never criticized him harshly. He only felt that as long as he said it, his son would definitely learn a lesson. It will definitely be corrected.
Just, is that the case?
Wang Yan agreed, but just apologized to Lu Huiqing? Eighty percent of him won't go. It is precisely because of this that he lost the opportunity to ease relations with Lu Huiqing again and again, and finally pushed this deep and dark-bellied villain to that point......
"Alright, it's not early, let's go rest!"
"Yes!" Wang Yan turned around and was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Father, now Wang Shao has gone to the northwest to arrest Li Fugui. In case he talks nonsense......"
"Don't worry so much, it's over. Go with the flow, nothing to be afraid of! "I have missed it once, and Wang Anshi doesn't want to miss it a second time.
"Yes!" Although Wang Yan was still faintly worried in his heart, things had developed to this point, and it was no longer beyond his control.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The situation in the northwest is indeed not so optimistic, as Zhao Ji and Zeng Gongliang worried, how can Li Fugui easily hand over the military power and obediently return to Bianjing to die, unless he is a fool.
Li Fugui knows what he is doing, so he has been highly nervous, afraid that something will go wrong again.
Therefore, he sent people to pay close attention to the situation in Bianjing, keep abreast of the latest developments in Lin Zhao's case, and be ready to deal with it at any time. As a last resort, Gyeongju still has the final say on its own one-third of an acre. It is close to Western Xia, when necessary......
At this point, it is no longer important to be famous or not, life is the first priority. Lee Fu-gyu's loyalty and ideals have long been worn out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this point, and now he is already a traitor who has committed a serious crime, since this is the case, he will simply be bad to the end!
Of course, this is also a last resort, otherwise who wants to fight for the risk of ruining the family and leaving a stench for thousands of years to rebel? In Gyeongju, the emperor tasted so good, Li Fugui was easily reluctant to leave.
Fortunately, the news from Bianjing has always been good, Lin Zhao was first convicted, and then sentenced to beheading. Li Fugui is quite happy, which means that he passed the test smoothly, presumably Wang Xianggong's father and son operate a lot in it, and the official family also helps him.
It's the best of both worlds!
However, this time it has caused so much trouble, and it is rare to be concerned, and it seems that it needs to be low-key in the future. Of course, if a few decent feats are taken out, these unnecessary troubles can also be erased. But this time, you have to be careful, you can't be as reckless as the first time, so that the army is defeated, and in the end it causes such a big mess.
It was also at this time that Wang Shao, the general judge of Huanzhou, sent a message, saying that there were signs of Western Xia invasion, and asked him to go with him to resist the enemy and discuss countermeasures. was planning this matter, and the opportunity came, and Li Fugui was quite happy. Although he was only the governor of Gyeongju, he was in charge of the military of the entire Huanqing Road.
Wang Shao respectfully asked for instructions, which made him very satisfied, and he didn't care about the fraud. So he brought only a small number of his own soldiers. But he didn't expect that there was a trap waiting for him, and when he was discussing in the tent, the Huanzhou army suddenly surrounded the big tent.
Wang Shao then read out the emperor's decree, stripped Li Fugui of his position as governor of Gyeongju, and returned to Bianjing to make another appointment. The holy purpose is to make a move, Wang Shao has such a hand, and Li Fugui, who is like a frightened bird, immediately thought that the matter was exposed.
In fact, at that time, Lin Zhao was still convicted, although the emperor doubted him, he would not punish him, at most he would let him die early and retire for the rest of his life. But Li Fugui has a ghost in his heart, so he reacts very strongly and has a tendency to rebel.
It's just that he himself has been controlled, and Wang Shao has a holy will, even the Gyeongju generals who are loyal to him on weekdays have hesitated.
If you want to raise your arms and shout, how easy is it to win food? That's a rebellion! Lee Fu-gyu has been controlled, and the Gyeongju army is leaderless. The generals also know what will happen after the rebellion? Is it an opponent of the imperial court? Even if he took refuge in Western Xia, he lived an inferior life.
What's more, they all have parents and relatives, all of whom are in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they can walk away, but their wives and children will have to suffer. Therefore, even if Li Fugui kept shouting, the Gyeongju generals were still in a wait-and-see attitude.
Wang Shaoyi was bold and led the army to Gyeongju, holding a holy decree to deter many generals in Gyeongju and regain military power. Of course, it is not so easy to take full control of Gyeongju.
As soon as the secrets were sparse, Wang Shao didn't expect that when he was concentrating on gathering the military power of Gyeongju and stabilizing the border defense. Li Fugui's confidant Chen Qiao, gathered the dead to launch a surprise attack, rescued Li Fugui, and then fled towards Western Xia.
After Li Fugui and Liang Yibury cooperated in several things, they had already secretly communicated with each other, but they didn't have much contact. Li Fugui was not worried about going to Western Xia, although he had spread rumors to frame Lin Zhao, which then affected the reputation of the Empress Dowager Liang. But Li Fugui believes that he is in control of the entire Huanqing Road, and even the situation of the northwest frontier defense of the Great Song Dynasty, and believes that the Western Xia people will not refuse him, and will definitely treat him well.
Therefore, Li Fugui believes that escaping to Western Xia is his last way to live.
Wang Shao was secretly annoyed, a little self-blamed, and several pursuits were in vain, so he had to report to Bianjing truthfully. Interestingly, it was also at this time that Li Fugui's charges had just been exposed.
In this way, it seems that it is still a wise move for him to flee first! (To be continued.) )
