Chapter 128: The Five Sons
Zhao Kuangyin listened to the narration of the waiter, and couldn't help laughing, it seems that he really didn't choose the wrong person. Before, the Imperial City Division was at a loss, and there was no way to start, and even Zhao Pu, a confidant and think tank, was helpless.
Unexpectedly, with Zhao Zheng, the sword took the right move, although there was no substantial progress for the time being, but clues have been found. If there are clues and directions, you can check it, no matter how much, sooner or later there will be progress, Zhao Kuangyin is very optimistic about this.
"Where is Zhao Zheng now?"
Zhao ...... Lord Zheng took the Li guards out of the palace, and the slaves didn't know where they went. ”
"Oh!" Zhao Kuangyin answered and stopped talking, he hoped and believed that Zhao Zheng could give him a satisfactory answer.
"Do you have any other orders from the officials......" the chamberlain asked in a low voice.
"No, let's go down...... Wait a minute! Zhao Kuangyin suddenly stopped the departing chamberlain and ordered: "Sue the Imperial City Division, and call Zhao Zheng the fifth son in the future." ”
The surname of the Great Song Dynasty is Zhao, and there are many ministers with the surname Zhao in the court, so it is inevitable that the simple title of Lord Zhao will not be clear. In order to make it clear, the waiter had to call Zhao Zheng by his name, and Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was inappropriate, so he suddenly came up with such a title.
The waiter's heart shook slightly, as if he was a little surprised, but after a while, he returned to normal and took the order.
It was only at this time that Queen Wang, who had deliberately avoided it, walked back and said with a smile: "Official, forgive the concubine for asking more, but about Zhao Zheng's news?" ”
"Yes, this kid is doing something for me!"
Queen Wang said: "The concubine heard that he has made a lot of meritorious contributions recently, and he even bravely escorted him yesterday!" ”
"It's true!"
"The official family forgives the sin, the concubine should not be involved in political affairs......" The queen wanted to say something, but she thought of the rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so she wanted to stop talking.
"Don't be nervous, just say whatever you want about this!" Zhao Kuangyin is very tolerant of his wife, and he doesn't pay attention to the affairs of the harem. Is a king of strength and power to be swayed by a woman? Count the years when those heroines were in power. Usually accompanied by a soft egg monarch.
Queen Wang said softly: "The concubine thought that he had saved the car meritoriously, and saved our family that night...... Especially Defang, if he hadn't made a timely move, he might have ...... Watching Defang grow up day by day, the concubine was terrified. I feel more and more that I should thank Zhao Zheng, and Niangniang (Empress Dowager Du) also said the same, it is inconvenient for the concubine to come forward, so I think if it is suitable, can the official family ......"
"I know this!" Zhao Kuangyin groaned: "The reward that should be there will naturally not be without him, but at present, it is just a hindrance...... As for what you want to thank. It's not that there is no opportunity, and when the time comes, you will return him a favor in person......"
"This ......" Queen Wang is a little confused, as a queen, she can't communicate with ministers privately, so it is inevitable that she is a little inexplicable.
"You'll know when the time comes!" Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "Dezhao and Defang, you bother a lot and educate well." However, the royal family needs to flourish, and I would like to have a few more princes! ”
Queen Wang said gently: "Yes, the concubines have already started to prepare to select some virtuous and suitable women for the official family to enter the palace." ”
"There's no rush here. Don't you want another one yourself? Zhao Kuangyin smiled, his face was no longer solemn and majestic imperial performance, and his identity was transformed into a warm husband.
Seeing that the sky outside the hall had darkened, Queen Wang reacted. Although he is an old husband and wife, he is still a little shy.
Zhao Kuangyin instructed: "Let the nurse take the second prince to rest!" ”
"Yes!" The nursing mother and palace maid knew that the official family was going to stay in the queen's bedroom, so they all left with understanding. As for Xiao Defang, although he is a little reluctant to his parents. But he didn't cry very sensibly, and he felt a little self-reliant at a young age.
……
The Funing Hall was a little more affectionate, and the room in the courtyard of the deep house somewhere in Bianliang was still gloomy.
"Zhao Zheng is the envoy of the imperial city!" The brocade-robed man snorted coldly: "I didn't expect Zhao Kuangyin to take such a move. What an unexpected! ”
"In addition to guarding the Imperial City, the Imperial City Envoy also has the duty of reconnaissance and espionage, so I think he should be in charge of investigating yesterday's assassination!" I don't know why, the black-clothed warrior couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard the news.
"If you ask for it, it must be so!" The brocade-robed man said, "Have you found the details of Zhao Zheng?" There was such a person who suddenly appeared that night, and it ruined our big business, and now he is mixed in...... I wondered, where is he sacred, and where does he come from? Could it be that we were tricked from the beginning? ”
"This ......" the black-clothed warrior said: "This Zhao Zheng is indeed too mysterious, and at present, his subordinates have only found out that he was a monk in the Dingli Academy three years ago, and it seems that he is from Bazhou...... Because there was no special attention paid to it before, the investigation is now a bit rushed and there is no progress...... However, I heard that Zhao Kuangyin told the Imperial City Division to privately call Zhao Zheng's fifth son. ”
"Fifth son? Hehe...... Strange, strange! The brocade-robed man said: "I really can't figure out what this Zhao Zheng is all about, it's incomprehensible!" ”
The black-clothed warrior had no choice but to say truthfully: "The subordinates have investigated clearly...... It's just that Zhao Zheng must have started to investigate that incident now, do we need to do anything to deal with it? ”
"Cope?" The brocade-robed man asked, "Did the assassins ever do it all?" Are there any clues left? ”
The black-clothed warrior thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "No! ”
"That's good, it's okay to respond to all changes with the same, and if there is a move at this time, it will miss the horse's feet." The brocade-robed man's eyes were sharp and calm, as if he was confident.
After a moment of silence, the brocade-robed man said, "What is Zhao Yanhui doing?" Was yesterday's incident accidental, or did Zhao Zheng do it deliberately? ”
"It must have been accidental!" There are too many unbelievable things about Zhao Zheng, so the black-clothed warrior is not very sure, but speculates: "It doesn't look like it's intentional...... It's like an accident. Yesterday, there was an assassination, Zhao Yanhui hurriedly summoned the son who spent all the time and wine home, but on the way he happened to meet Zhao Zheng who was going to the Wei Palace's mansion for a banquet. The vehicles of the two collided unexpectedly, and Zhao Yanhui's stupid son was arrogant, so he put up a shelf to make Zhao Zheng apologize, and he also wanted to snatch the treasure in Zhao Zheng's hand, so there was the rest of the ......"
"Hmph, it's useless!" The brocade-robed man said: "Zhao Yanhui's reputation is ruined in the hands of this unsuccessful cub." It's okay to let those gentlemen encounter a little setback, or let them know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and a gentleman actually provokes Zhao Zheng, which is really self-defeating. ”
The black-clothed warrior said disdainfully: "It's ridiculous that Zhao Yanhui, he actually went to cry to Zhao Kuangyin and call the shots for him, but the result was ......"
"Not necessarily, in fact, Zhao Yanhui is not a temptation, a temptation of a group of people, but unfortunately the result disappointed them." The brocade-robed man smiled coldly, as if he was very ridiculous, as if he was full of ridicule, and a little proud.
The black-clothed warrior said: "Lord, if Zhao Kuangyin is really ignorant of his conscience and ungrateful, you are also ......"
"It can't be said that it is ungrateful, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooking is inevitable, and the emperors of the past dynasties are all right." The brocade-robed man paused slightly and sighed, "In comparison, Zhao Kuangyin may be relatively benevolent...... Zhao Zheng served as the envoy of the imperial city, and he gave a resounding slap in the face to all the heroes, and I was no exception...... Maybe there will be such a day. ”
"There may be some good for the big things that the lord is about to do......," the black-clothed warrior replied with a vague expression, carefully word by word, lest he say something wrong and anger his master.
The brocade-robed man smiled: "That's true, it's a good thing, now there should be many people scolding the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Zhao family...... In this way, there will be many invisible allies, but ......"
"Is the lord worried about Zhao Yanhui?" The black warrior was cautious and tentative.
The brocade-robed man nodded and said: "That's right, martial artists are too impulsive and easy to get hot-blooded, my son was annoyed when he was beaten, and he was stimulated by Zhao Kuangyin like this, so it's no wonder that Zhao Yanhui is not angry." He is too impulsive, if he can't restrain himself and does something out of the ordinary, there will be trouble, and if he spoils the old man's big thing, it will be really unforgivable. ”
"Lord, how is that good?"
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to knock and knock, but you have to keep an eye on me, I'm really afraid that Zhao Yanhui's blood will be on the head, and he will immediately make something out of the ordinary......" The brocade-robed man inadvertently showed a little worry, since Zhao Zheng appeared, there would always be a little surprise in his plan. A person who is good at planning is most afraid of the unexpected and uncontrollable, so it is inevitable to be worried.
"Yes, don't worry, my subordinates will be on guard!" The black-clothed warrior believed that he was capable of preventing and controlling a knot.
The brocade-robed man seemed to be relieved, nodded, and then asked, "How is the progress on the camel's side?" ”
"It's not bad, it seems to have eyebrows!"
"Keep an eye on it, that's the point!" The brocade-robed man clenched his fists, and his gaze became particularly solemn.
……
Han Wei stood in the darkness with his eyes flickering, as if he was a beast ready to attack.
That's exactly what he's feeling in right now, his mind full of hatred and a madness that borders on paranoia. Successive failures had worn out almost all of his patience, and he didn't know what he would have done if he hadn't had the last shred of sanity.
The great enemy Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, and the throne became more and more stable, while Zhao Zheng repeatedly spoiled his good deeds and has always been proud. This time, he injured the son of the Jiedu envoy, but there was no, and he became the imperial envoy that everyone was afraid of, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
I don't know how many times I fantasized about stabbing Zhao Zheng to death in my mind, and he even had the urge to directly lead someone into the protocol house...... However, Lingtai's last shred of reason told him that he couldn't do this, revenge needed to be considered in the long run, and there was still a chance.
Standing under the tree, seeing a few men in coarse linen clothes walking by at the entrance of the alley, Han Wei took a deep breath, collected his mind, and walked over...... (To be continued......)
