Zhao Zheng entered the palace early the next morning and went to greet the Empress Dowager Du.

Although Chinese New Year's Eve has just kowtowed, externally, he Zhao Zheng only recovered his royal status yesterday. As the younger generation of the royal family's nephews, on the occasion of the New Year, it is unreasonable not to enter the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother.

Although the blood relationship is much worse, in terms of generation, Empress Dowager Du is an aunt, and she still likes this nephew quite much.

When he saw Zhao Zheng, he nodded again and again: "Okay, my family Wulang is really a talent." ”

"The Queen Mother praised it."

Zhao Zheng smiled, this kind elder now looks healthy and in good spirits, but in the memory of her previous life, Empress Dowager Du did not see the osmanthus of Jianlong's second year and died.

I really hope that it is a deviation in the historical record, or that the butterfly effect has been created to allow the old man to live a few more years. Maybe in this way, the tragedy of the old Zhao family's fratricidal struggle may be avoided.

"You have the ability, I know this, help the official family to do things, this country belongs to the Zhao family, and the children of the Zhao family have the responsibility to maintain it wholeheartedly." Empress Dowager Du spoke seriously, and the reason why she agreed with Zhao Zheng to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors was precisely because of this.

"Do your best."

Empress Dowager Du nodded and said with a smile: "I believe that you will do well, as for your marriage with Fu Li, Si Tianjian is already choosing an auspicious day." However, the heavenly family marries a family, the palace marries a daughter, this pomp and etiquette is very important, so these three media and six appointments, all links are indispensable.

It will take some time to do the same, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are now busy with the Spring Festival in February, and I am afraid they will not be able to do it. Therefore, this matter will need to be handled after February, so you don't have to rush. I will personally watch it, and the queen and your second sister-in-law will personally handle it, so you can rest assured. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother, but you old man must not be tired, take care of your body." on this. Zhao Zheng is sincerely grateful.

"Well, don't worry, with your warm kang and earth dragon, this winter is very comfortable, and your health is good!" Empress Dowager Du said with a smile: "The official family should wait for you in front, my wife will not delay the time, you go!" ”

"Yes, the little nephew is retiring!" Looking at Empress Dowager Du's ruddy complexion, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but think, I really hope that the kang will help her body. Able to prolong life.

……

In the vertical arch hall, although it is said to be the New Year, the emperor does not dare to slack off at any time. Whether it is the internal affairs of the Great Song Dynasty or the shape of the Ten Kingdoms, we must always pay attention to it.

When Zhao Zheng arrived, Zhao Kuangyin also held a document and said: "There is news from Jinghu that the Gao family in Nanping is increasingly lax in controlling the Jiangling generation, and Zhou Xingfeng in Hunan is seriously ill and bedridden, and it seems that time is running out. Jinghu seems to have a sign of chaos. ”

"Brother Huang is planning to start with the Jing Chu generation as an incision?" Zhao Zheng asked casually.

"What do you think?"

Zhao Zheng immediately nodded and said: "It's not bad, the two lakes of Jingxiang hold the middle reaches of the river, and you can send troops from Nanyang and go south directly along the Han River." If it is in the hand, if it is in the south, it is a wedge driven.

In this way, the three kingdoms of Tang, Shu, and Southern Han were separated, so that they would not be united. Moreover, along the Xiangshui. Along the old road of the Lingqu in the Qin period, you can directly crusade against the Southern Han Dynasty; Going down the river to the east, you can approach Jinling, the capital of the Tang Kingdom; Go up the river, or go west along the Yiling Ancient Road. You can enter Bashu, which is the key place for my Great Song Dynasty to unify the south. ”

"It seems that your kid's vision is good, and he has some insights into strategic planning." Zhao Kuangyin immediately praised.

Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "The last time my brother sent an envoy to the Tang Kingdom through Jing Chu, he had this idea when he looked at the route and terrain all the way. What's more, whether it was the late Han Dynasty, Wei, Shu, and Wu's struggle for Jingzhou, or the Sui Dynasty's Yang Guang's annihilation of Chen, they all had similar strategies, and their subordinates were just learning from them. ”

"Well, it's hard because you're young, but you have such insight, it seems that I still look down on you." Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "If you find an opportunity to go to the army for some training, maybe you will be a commander in the future." ”

"The royal brother praises falsely, and the younger brother is ashamed."

Zhao Kuangyin put down the paperwork in his hand and asked with a smile: "In addition to asking the Queen Mother for peace, what do you have to say to me?" ”

"Brother Huang, there have been good things in the past two days."

"Oh? Let's hear it. Zhao Kuangyin seemed interested.

Zhao Zheng said, "First of all, there was a trace of the camel on Chinese New Year's Eve, and just yesterday, the assassin who assassinated you also had a clue." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin's face turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "What did you find?" ”

"The green robe on the assassin's body has found some eyebrows, and from the clues in his possession, it is related to a person."

"Who?"

"Shi Shouxin!"

"Him?" Zhao Kuangyin was obviously shocked, there was still a little disbelief in his eyes, but there was also strong anger.

Zhao Zheng immediately explained the details of the ins and outs, and also bluntly expressed his guess, saying: "Brother Huang, the younger brother always feels that this matter is a little strange, there has been no news for two months, and suddenly he found out, which is a bit too coincidental." ”

"You're saying there's something else going on here? Go on. Zhao Kuangyin frowned, not knowing if he wanted Shi Shouxin to be the mastermind behind the assassination, or if he had other worries.

"Killing the king and assassinating the driver is a major crime of punishing the nine clans, and in order to keep it secret, killing people is the safest way. But whether it was at the beginning, or later the younger brother Wuzhang River Dyeing Workshop scared the grass and sparkled the snake, the other party did not do it, which is the first suspicion. ”

Zhao Zheng continued: "It just so happened that he appeared yesterday, if this person was really favored by Shi Shouxin to do such an important thing, how could he be so unhelpful and missed in front of a few firefighting officers?" The younger brother even suspected that this person was likely to be arrested on purpose to attract attention, which is suspicion 2.

After entering the Imperial City Division, it didn't take much punishment, so this person confessed everything, Shi Shouxin's vision was not so bad, right? What's more, the information given by this person is light and easy for the Shi family to get involved...... The younger brother is foolish, and he takes the risk of raiding his family and exterminating the clan, so he will not act so imprudently, which is the third suspicion. ”

"You mean, this matter was not Shi Shouxin's doing?" Zhao Kuangyin asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Zheng was truthful: "The younger brother is not sure, but I think it may be someone who wants to confuse the public, and even set up this bureau from the beginning, the purpose is to blame General Shi." As expected, within a few days, I will definitely be able to find some clues or evidence that support General Shi's assassination. ”

"Hmph, sure enough, there is a little ghost making trouble behind his back." Zhao Kuangyin's face was gloomy and full of anger.

"Brother Huang, it is obvious that someone wants to plot against him, and he can't sit in the dark and let go of cold arrows, and now he wants to separate the relationship between you and General Shi. After all, whether General Shi is the envoy of the German army, or the commander of the forbidden army's guard Sima Bujun, he is in a high position! ”

Zhao Kuangyin said coldly: "Send someone to keep an eye on Shi Shouxin, check if there is anything abnormal, and find out who is behind the ghost." Dig out all these ghosts for me, I want to see if they are blue-faced fangs? ”

At the moment, there is really the meaning of gods and ghosts, and since the emperor has spoken, then the ghost catching operation will start immediately.

As for Shi Shouxin, whether he is related to the assassination of the monarch or not, he is the key target of supervision, and at least he cannot be used by others at the moment. As for the future, Zhao Kuangyin shouldn't want him to become a hidden danger and threat!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng's heart moved, is Zhao Kuangyin at this moment already brewing a glass of wine to release military power? (To be continued......)
