Chapter Ninety-Seven: It Turned Out to Be Him
"What?" Zhao Shu heard Zhao Yan's words, and sat up straight from the bed all of a sudden, if others said so, he would definitely not believe it, but Zhao Yan is a person who has a fairy fate, and the dream world makes Zhao Shu feel very incredible, so he absolutely believes Zhao Yan's words.
"Daddy, our Great Song Dynasty is inferior to others now, but we can't swallow our anger, the person behind the scenes burned our important high-yield crops, and dozens of people died because of him, we must not let him go in vain, I know Daddy, you are worried that the other party's accident in the Great Song Dynasty will make it difficult for the Liao State to take advantage of the opportunity, but if the other party suddenly dies of illness after returning to the Liao Kingdom, then what does this matter have to do with our Great Song Dynasty?" When Zhao Yan said to the end, his face also showed a cold murderous aura.
"Third brother, do you really have such a ability?" Zhao Ji was also shocked at this time, if he could really let the mastermind behind the scenes accompany the funeral for this matter, it could be regarded as giving Da Song a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, big brother, you don't have to doubt it, as long as you let me know who this mastermind behind the scenes is, then he will definitely not survive this year!" Zhao Yan said very confidently, he had already considered all the details of the killing very clearly, although it could not be 100% successful, but at least more than ninety percent certainty, as for the remaining one, it depends on whether God gives face?
Seeing that Zhao Yan was so confident, Zhao Shu also pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and looked directly at Zhao Yan and said: "Yan'er, you must know that this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, if there is any mistake, our Great Song Dynasty is likely to be blackmailed by the Liao State again." Even the other party is likely to propose to increase the New Year's coins again, so the father has to be careful! ”
Although Zhao Shu did not directly agree in his words, Zhao Yan heard that the other party was also a little moved, so he spoke again at the moment: "Daddy, our Great Song Dynasty can't always take the New Year's coins to keep safe, this is tantamount to cutting meat and feeding the tiger, after a long time, the stronger the tiger is, the weaker we are, so we must find a way to fight back." Now there is a father and a big brother to take care of the government. Erchen helped me to open a new weapon in the Great Song Dynasty, and I believe that in a few years, I don't have to look at the face of the Liao State anymore. ”
Zhao Yan paused when he said this, and then assured: "This time, the minister is absolutely sure." Just follow my way. I'm afraid the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't even know how he died. Not to mention the suspicion of our Great Song! ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Shu's face finally showed a hint of ruthlessness, and he immediately commanded loudly: "Okay." My father agreed to this matter, and Huang Wude is temporarily at your disposal, and he can help you do whatever you need to prepare and use! ”
"Thank you Daddy, but this matter is not enough to rely on Erchen alone, but I need the help of my eldest brother!" Seeing Zhao Shu agree, Zhao Yan was also very excited, but he didn't forget to pull Zhao Yan in, no matter how Zhao Shu was also Zhao Shu's heir to the throne, he had always been very valued by Zhao Shu, and now Zhao Shu handed over this matter to Zhao Yan alone, he was worried that it would make Zhao Yan think crookedly, so he pulled him in.
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Yan pull Zhao Yan in, and then showed a clear expression, and then laughed and said: "Okay, Yan'er, you are too young after all, and you don't have any experience in doing big things, it's better for your eldest brother to help watch on the side, since that's the case, then let Ji'er and Wude be in charge of specific matters, Yan'er, you just have to come up with ideas." ”
"Haha, that's great, Erchen is also trying to ask for help to participate in this matter!" Zhao Yan and Zhao Shu obviously thought too much, Zhao Yan was not a cautious person, or he was a very confident person, and he was not worried that Zhao Yan would pose a threat to his throne at all, so when he heard that he could also participate in this matter, he simply felt excited.
Although Zhao Shu's condition has improved a little, he still can't be too tired, he just said so many words, and he felt a little tired at this time, so let Zhao Yan and the three of them go out to discuss at the moment, and he won't ask about this matter anymore, after all, he is the emperor, and he only needs to make decisions on some big resolutions, and specific things will naturally be handled by others.
At the moment, Zhao Yan and Huang Wude came to the palace where Zhao Ji lived, the palace of the Song Dynasty should be the smallest of the Central Plains dynasties, the predecessor of the palace was only a festival embassy, and later it became the palace of the Great Song Dynasty after several expansions, but even so, the area of the palace is still not very large, and the internal buildings are not as regular and atmospheric as the palace of the Tang Dynasty, and even although Zhao Ji is the quasi-prince, there is no special east palace in the palace for him to live, but a palace is drawn on the east side of the palace, nominally known as the East Palace, But in fact, it is connected with the palace where Zhao Shu and the concubine live.
Zhao Yan took them to a relatively quiet study, and as soon as he came in, Zhao Yan asked Huang Wude a little impatiently: "Huang Neishi, you can sue me now, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, right?" ”
Huang Wude also replied immediately after hearing it: "King Qiyu, the main envoy behind the scenes is actually Zhang Renxian, the deputy envoy of the Liao State Mission, although this person is young, but he has an extraordinary background, his father is Zhang Xiaojie, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion of Liao, this Zhang Xiaojie is one of the most favored ministers of the Liao Emperor, and he has the secret spy agency of the Liao State in his hands, Zhang Renxian has helped his father deal with some espionage affairs when he was a teenager, and some time ago it was he who secretly contacted the secret spy of the Liao State in Tokyo, and then used the dark line dead soldiers in the palace to destroy the two high-yield crops. ”
"It's him!" Zhao Yan gritted his teeth and said, he never thought that the person behind the scenes turned out to be Zhang Renxian, who had a relationship before, but then he said to Huang Wude with some annoyance, "How did you do it, you actually let the spies of the Liao State sneak into the palace, so that the lives of Daddy and eldest brother can't be guaranteed?" ”
Huang Wude held the Imperial City Division, the largest spy agency in the Great Song Dynasty, and was nominally in charge of affairs such as the entry and exit of the palace, the guards of Zhou Lu, and the opening and closing of the palace gates, but in fact, the real function was to manage all espionage matters at home and abroad.
Regarding Zhao Yan's questioning, Huang Wude couldn't help but smile bitterly: "King Qiyu, although we have not been at war with Liao for many years, in fact, the secret confrontation has never been broken, especially since both sides often send spies to each other to inquire about the situation, and even train some people to lurk in each other's place for a long time, these people call it a dark line, not only we have the dark line of Liao here, but we also have our dark line on the Liao side." ”
When he said this, Huang Wude paused for a moment and then said: "These dark lines have lived in the other party's country for many years, and they are usually impossible to distinguish at all, and they will only be used when they encounter particularly important things, so we can't know whether the dark lines of the Liao Kingdom are mixed in the palace." However, there is no need to worry about the safety of His Majesty and King Ying, firstly, there is absolutely no problem with the guards around His Majesty and others, and secondly, the assassination of the royal family is too sensitive, and it may lead to an endless situation between the two countries, so even if there is an opportunity, the two sides do not dare to use the dark line to do such a stupid thing. ”
"Yes, there is no need to worry about assassinating the royal family, no matter how arrogant the Liao State is, they don't have the courage to do so." At this time, Zhao Yan also spoke, and then he asked Zhao Yan very curiously: "Third brother, what way can you kill people thousands of miles away?" ”
Hearing the words of Huang Wude and Zhao Ji, Zhao Yan was relieved, but for Zhao Ji's later question, he hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell this method?
I saw that Zhao Yan thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "Big brother, this method is harmful to the heavens and harmony, if it is spread out, it may be used by some people with ulterior motives to do something harmful to the heavens and reason, so I don't plan to sue anyone for this method, and even I will only use it once in this life, and I will never use it again in the future!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Shu couldn't help but nodded, the method of taking people's lives thousands of miles away is indeed a little terrifying, and the less people know about this method, the better, but Huang Wude next to him said a little anxiously: "King of the county, this method of taking people's lives thousands of miles away can be called a sharp weapon of the country, if it is used properly, it may be able to bring unexpected benefits to my Great Song Dynasty, so the old slave thinks that it is better for you to tell the old slave about this method, and it will be more convenient for the old slave to act in the future." ”
These people in the Imperial City Division are doing some dirty work, including some murders and the like, if they can have the means to take people's lives thousands of miles away, it will definitely make their actions much easier
"Don't even think about it, if you have this kind of means, I'm afraid that not only the Liao State and Western Xia won't be able to sleep, but also the officials of my Great Song Dynasty will not be able to sleep, maybe you will be impeached by hundreds of officials, and then I'm afraid that even your father won't be able to protect you, so this kind of means is a curse or a blessing for you, you still have to die of this heart!" Zhao Yan unceremoniously refused. The chief official of the Imperial City Division is nominally the Imperial City Envoy, but the Imperial City Envoy is a Jilu official and does not actually hold power, and the people in charge of the Imperial City Division are the internal servants around the emperor, which is a bit similar to the Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Wude is not a stupid person, he knows that although Zhao Yan's words are a bit exaggerated, they are not all to scare him, after all, the method of taking people's lives thousands of miles away is already a first-class magic method of immortals, and the Imperial City Division has the duty to monitor hundreds of officials, if there is such a means, wouldn't it be possible to kill any official silently, which will indeed cause panic among hundreds of officials, maybe it will really give rise to the situation that Zhao Yan said, plus Huang Wude saw Zhao Yan's resolute attitude, so he didn't insist.
"Since that's the case, then we won't ask, third brother, what are you going to do, and what preparations do you need us to make, although the order is, Huang Neishou and I will definitely do our best to cooperate with you!" Zhao Ji also spoke at this time. (To be continued!)
