Chapter 318: Killing

Zhao Ta, who was in the center of the turbulent 'royalist' storm, was very embarrassed at the moment, this storm seemed to be very beneficial to him, and it was also for his good, giving Zhao Huan who was trying to 'seize power' a powerful counterattack, cutting off his idea of 'giving way', and raising his prestige by several levels again. But in Zhao Ta's view, this is just an appearance, in fact, not only was he put on the fire to roast, but the Great Song Dynasty was likely to return to turmoil, and the dream of Zhongxing died halfway.

In the current situation, if he refuses to let it, people will say that the emperor is originally greedy for power, but he wants to put on a show and buy people's hearts with fake benevolence and righteousness; Let, to be honest, he didn't want to let it, and he didn't plan to let it, because he was worried that once he lost power, his years of hard work would be ruined, and the brothers who followed him from birth to death would also face a bloody purge, and they thought that they were no longer the little servants of the palace, and now they all held heavy power and had male soldiers, how could they sit and wait to die, then a civil war would be inevitable, and the Great Song Dynasty would also fall into war until it ran out of vitality, and even split and lost the country.

"Li Jun, see Xi, how did the words I said to the Emperor Taishang spread that day?" Zhao Tazhi said that to characterize this incident, it is necessary to first find out whether the turmoil is deliberately manipulated by people or just an accidental event, and then countermeasures can be made.

"Your Majesty, after being investigated by his subordinates, this matter was first spread by a tavern outside Donghua Gate, and some of the inner servants who went out of the palace often secretly went there to drink a few glasses of wine and have fun, according to the owner of the tavern, it was a small yellow door that drank too much and was the first to expose this matter, as for who spread, because it was when there were many guests in the tavern, many people heard it. It's hard to find for a while, but my subordinates are trying to investigate. As for the little yellow gate, because people often come here in the palace, he can't tell the specific face. I only know that Lu Dao is not very old and looks like he is about twenty years old! Li Jun said.

"Well, don't check those people anymore, even if we find him, we only need to excuse him on the grounds of hearsay, we can't continue to track him down if we catch him at all!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, "If this matter is intentional by someone, this person is too smart, he chose a chamberlain to release the news, and he was drunk again." I can't help but let people believe it a little first, and when the news is spread out in public, we can't find out everyone, even if we catch someone, there is no legal crime, and it is difficult to find out who is behind the scenes! ”

"Your Majesty, the servants in the palace who were on duty that day in the palace have secretly checked, but there is no record of leaving the palace in those days, even if the palace attendants leaked the news to their companions, and the attendants who can leave the palace except for a few managers. There were only five or six people in charge of the purchase, but there were no more than 20 people among them. The people who were able to serve this ministry were all old people from the past house, and the youngest was in his thirties. They have followed His Majesty for many years, and of course they know the consequences of doing so! Seeing that the emperor looked at him, he hurriedly reported the results of his investigation.

"That's weird. Is it possible that someone who left the palace without permission did it? Zhao Ta asked again.

"Your Majesty, this possibility is completely non-existent. It happened during the day, and there were guards patrolling around Miyagi, how could it be possible to sneak out? Jianxi shook his head and said. The guards here are tested, even if Lu Xiaoyao wants to mix in during the day, it is impossible, as for the emperor's success, he doesn't know.

"Did the chamberlain on duty that day ever ask, to whom did they talk about it?" Li Jun asked to see Xidao.

"I have already asked, and they said that when they saw the Emperor Taishang angrily coming to see His Majesty, they did not dare to approach, they were all waiting outside the palace, and they didn't hear anything at all, and the warriors on duty in the palace could prove that they were indeed outside the palace and did not enter the palace. And I've tried that if you close the door of the temple, you won't be able to hear what the people in the temple are saying! Jianxi said depressedly, he couldn't figure out if there were still masters in this palace, with two tailwind ears.

"So all the rumors outside are untrue?" Li Jun listened and turned to the emperor and asked.

"Not necessarily, at least the emperor rushed into the palace angrily, and he also said that he could not give way, and other words...... Hehe! Zhao Ta smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile, only he knew the things in the hall that day.

Zhao Ji was angry and did worry that he would give way to the factor, in fact, the main reason was because the new Liao Wangfu was located on the side of Jinglong Palace, and the residence of the Emperor Taishang was the neighbor, and after so many years, he still held a grudge, of course he was not happy to live with Zhao Huan, so he entered the palace and Zhao Ta had a big fight, and Zhilu Dao promised him to choose another place, and let him pick a few of the good things he scavenged from the Liaoyang Mansion before he gave up, and it was rumored that it was thousands of miles away from the outside world.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed people instigating them in this way, but I don't know what their purpose is?" Li Jun listened to it and had a bottom in his heart, if someone wanted to take the opportunity to hype up so that he could get the emperor's favor, but judging from the information he had now, no one showed up to claim it, so it didn't make sense.

"Do you still need to ask, there must be someone who covets the emperor's throne, and thinks he knows the emperor very well, and wants to make the 'abdication' known to the world, so as to achieve the attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, and then someone will be supported as the new master!" Seeing Xi said indignantly, what he thought was relatively simple, but it coincided with Zhao Ta's concerns.

"But now, both the DPRK and the people are overwhelmingly demanding that His Majesty not abdicate, and His Majesty only needs to push the boat down the river, and it is difficult to move His Majesty at all. Li Jun was confused, now that the public opinion of the government and the opposition is raging, it is impossible for the emperor to abdicate.

"Yes! For what? Jianxi couldn't figure out what these people behind the scenes were thinking, and things had gotten messed up to this point, but they were still waiting.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that the Jurchens are making trouble, and they are putting back the King of Liao just to help him ascend to the throne?" Li Jun thought for a while and then said.

"What good is it for them that the Jin Kingdom supports the throne of the Liao King? I don't think it's possible. Jianxi shook his head and said.

"Of course there are benefits, the King of Liao is cowardly and easy to control, and His Majesty beat them to an embarrassment, forcing them to sign an alliance under the city, of course he doesn't want His Majesty to take power." Li Jun explained.

"I don't think so, the King of Liao is narrow-minded and has no room for people, and he will repay him. And the Jurchens seized his throne and took him away and suffered a great humiliation, I think no one in the Great Song Dynasty hates the Jurchens more than him, if he takes the throne, the first thing he does is probably to destroy the Jin Kingdom! Jianxi said.

"I also think that Wushu is a smart person, he knows who the Great Song Dynasty is in the world now, even if he really has this intention, he will not be in a hurry at this time, and now it is a critical moment for peace talks, he will not make such a decision!" Zhao Ta thought for a while and said.

"Who could it be, and why would he stir up trouble?" Li Jun, who can be said to be the head of the dark world of the Great Song Dynasty, is also puzzled and can't figure out who would do this.

"Are we complicating the problem?" Zhao Ta turned around the hall a few times and said, "The cause is that the little yellow door in the palace listened to his companion talk about what happened that day, and he was not an eyewitness, just hearsay. Later, he drank too much wine and bragged, adding fuel and vinegar to the boasting of things that there were no at all, but he had no malice, so he wanted to make people look down on him, so as to show his status in the palace; Then some people in the tavern or in one of them told what they had heard as a joke to others, and then spread it everywhere, because the news was passed around a few times, and each of them added his own conjecture to it, so that the truth became more and more true. ”

"Your Majesty thinks that such a big thing happened just because of a few rumors, and there is no driving force behind it?" Li Jun said with some surprise.

"Well, at least initially, of course, it is not excluded that someone deliberately spread the news, but even if there is, he does not want to make a big deal of it. This is the reason why the theory of giving way was only circulated in the market at first, but it did not cause any turmoil. But the rumors have caused some people to be uneasy, these people may be businessmen, or they may be the recipients of the benefits of my accession to the throne, including you, so they want to do something to stop this from happening, and there is the Chamber of Commerce and the Tooth Bank! Zhao Ta continued to analyze, "Although these people do not have any power, they are very influential among the people, which further aggravates the uneasiness of the people, and at this time, some people want to take the opportunity to do something......

"His Majesty is a student of Guozijian, and Fu Que Shangshu was instigated and organized by someone, but these people are preventing His Majesty from giving way, and there is no malice!" Li Jun seemed to understand what the emperor meant, but he couldn't grasp the point.

"Yes, the students have no ill intentions. But don't forget that these students are all future officials at all levels of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were born in Shilin, and their trouble represents the opinion of some scholars. After I succeeded to the throne, I offended many officials because of the rectification of the rule of officials, and then changed the tradition of promoting literature and suppressing martial arts, which caused many scholars to be dissatisfied. Zhao said.

"Your Majesty, you mean that those who are hostile to Your Majesty are manipulating this matter, but their purpose should be to force His Majesty to abdicate, how can they achieve their goal?" I still don't understand.

"Kill!" Li Jun understood the methods of those people, "They want to hold His Majesty high first, and do not hesitate to praise His Majesty as a benevolent and intentional king, so in the face of the former emperor who has returned to his homeland, he will respect and give way like the saints of the previous generation, and return to the king of Liao, then these people will return to officialdom in the purge after the king of Liao reascends the throne, or be promoted to the knighthood, which is really poisonous!" ”

"Oh, I see!" Jianxi patted his head and said, "If the goal of making the emperor abdicate is not achieved, they will take advantage of this turmoil to attack His Majesty, provoke new disputes, cause turmoil in Shilin, and then take the opportunity to support the King of Liao on the throne!" ”…… (To be continued......)
