Chapter XIII Purpose
"Wang Xiang really eats lamp grass and farts, this king worked hard, tens of thousands of people died, and he exhausted the wealth of Hedong for several years, so he took the land of only four states, and the fifty-two counties in the six states in the southeast were all occupied by the chaotic people, in your eyes it is still a small matter, so what can be regarded as a big thing?" Zhao Ta was so angry that Wang Hao coaxed himself as a three-year-old child.
"Prince Yan, I have my own plans for this matter, don't bother the prince!" Wang Hao was choked by Zhao Ta's words and argued strongly.
"This king sees that you are an accomplice with Fang Thirteen, he started an incident in the southeast, and you are in the capital as an internal response, neither reporting to the saint, nor transferring troops to quell the chaos, you cooperate very tacitly! Is it that after robbing the Zhao family, he allowed you to climb the throne and sit on the dragon chair, huh?! Zhao Ta stepped forward and said viciously.
"Prince Yan's words are serious, my Wang Huang is fiercely loyal to the saint, and heaven and earth can learn from it..."
"Bullshit, you are loyal to the saint, why do you want to prevent this king from meeting the saint, this king sees that you are a collaborator, and wants to take my Zhao family, today this king will kill you first, and the future trouble has been decided!" Zhao Ta picked up the iron bone in his hand and smashed it.
"Ah..."Wang Huang is also very clever, knowing that Prince Daoyan is 'two', except for the emperor and Niangniang, no one else is in his eyes, and he will fight when he says to fight, so he has already paid attention to it, and when he saw Zhao Ta hammering him, he shouted and ran away. The others were also bluffed into believing the conversation between the two, and it was really interesting to think about it. Seeing that Prince Yan was about to do it again. Although he persuaded him to calm down, he took two steps back, this fairy fights, and he can't make a little ghost to suffer, at least don't splash blood!
"Holy help..."Wang Hao ran into the Wende Hall with a smoke, Zhao Ta knew that he was on the ground, and he couldn't break in anymore, otherwise it would be reasonable and rude, so he stopped and threw the iron bones on the ground. The warriors in front of the palace quickly surrounded him, and there was no need to ask, they had no right to dispose of it, but could only report to the emperor. It didn't take long. Then the chamberlain Xuan Zhao entered the hall, he straightened his clothes, and strode in with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang urgent newspaper in one hand.
"Tatar, why are you spreading wild in the palace again, chasing after the king?" As soon as Zhao Ta entered the hall, he saw his father sitting in front of him in regular clothes, with eye feces hanging from the corners of his eyes, obviously being noisy and returning to sleep, Zhao Ji said unhappily, Wang Huang hid aside. The face was full of grievances, and he must have sued Zhao Ta fiercely.
"Qi Qi Father, this person should not only fight, but also deserve to die, the southeast people have changed, swept the fifty-two counties in six states, and even Hangzhou has been lost, but he has evil intentions, deceived his father, and wants to destroy my Zhao family!" After Zhao Ta gave the salute. Pointing at Wang Hao, he said sharply.
"Ta'er can't talk nonsense, the people of the southeast live and work in peace and contentment, how can there be a civil uprising!" What Zhao Ji has heard for so many years is the good news that the country is rich and strong, the four Yi are subjugated, and the people are happy. When I heard at first glance today that someone had rebelled, how could I believe it?
"Father. This is an urgent report sent by Chen Hengbo, headed by the thief Fang La, who gathered millions of chaotic people, and captured Hangzhou City last year, killing Chen Jian, Zhao Yue, and Zhao Ting, Zhizhou, and all the officials in Hangzhou City were killed by thieves! Zhao Taju said in a hurry.
"Bring it on!" Zhao Ji didn't look like his son was talking nonsense, and when he opened it, his face became more and more ugly, and what he said was even more serious than what his son said, "Prime Minister Wang, is there such a thing?" He turned his face to Wang Huang and said, at this moment he still had luck in his heart, and he didn't want to believe that such a big thing would happen under his rule.
"Your Majesty, those people in the local area like to say that the small things that are the size of sesame seeds are bigger than watermelons, so as to reap the benefits from them, the southeast has always been peaceful, even if someone is making trouble, it is just a hundred and ten rural fools to invade the people, how can they capture the state capital, it must be those local officials who make a big fuss and exaggerate, the emperor should not be gullible!" Wang Hao still didn't want the emperor to know the truth at the moment, and wanted to control things within his ability. …,
"Father, as far as I know, the southeast civil uprising happened as early as October, at that time it was indeed a small trouble, but the local handling was not effective, and eventually caused a big disaster, and now the Jiangnan mob is everywhere, threatening Gyeonggi, but the king Xiang will press all the urgent reports in the middle of the book and do not tell, his heart can be punished, and please ask the father and the emperor to investigate!" Zhao said.
"Oh, can the king have such a thing?" Zhao Ji asked again, he knew that although his son was 'mixed', he had always done things in a measured manner, and he would never joke about such a big thing, and his tone was much harsher between his words.
"Prince Yan, don't think that if you have made some contributions in the northwest, you can interfere in the affairs of the court and the central government so much, how did you know about the affairs of the Zhongshu? I don't know anything about these things. Wang Hao's heart was weak at the moment, and he questioned Zhao Tadao, but he also left himself a way back in his words.
"Don't be verbose anymore, Wang Xiang, you will go to Zhongshu to find out about this matter immediately, report quickly, Ta'er, you should also go back to the house first, don't cause trouble again, otherwise I will punish you!" Zhao Ji was very annoyed, but he still trusted Wang Huang.
"Yes, the retainers are retired!" Zhao Ta sighed and said, now that he has uncovered the pot, the purpose has been achieved, and as for what happens in the future, it is not up to him to control.
Although Zhao Ta had selfish intentions and only revealed the matter after pacifying Lingxia, he also knew that the northwest of the Song Dynasty was an old political and economic center, but in fact, the south of the Yangtze River had risen rapidly, and there were successive political officials, such as Wang Anshi, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dan, Cai Jing, Cai Bian and others, who almost monopolized the power of the Song Dynasty after Shenzong, and there were more officials in the court out of Jiangnan; The economic development is more dependent on the supply of Jiangnan, the Song Dynasty to give the Liao State, Xixia nearly one million coins every year, itself has to have tens of millions of funds to operate, these money are provided by the people of the southeast, it can be said that the prosperity of Kaifeng City, since the beginning of the Song Taizu, is supported by the Jiangnan. The turmoil in the southeast will inevitably lead to the turmoil of the country, and this exquisite empire needs money everywhere, and it is inseparable from money all the time, and if it cannot be squeezed in the southeast, it will inevitably turn to squeeze the Central Plains, and then the Great Song Dynasty will become a dilapidated house full of holes and leaks, and the Zhao family will really collapse immediately!
And Zhao Ta also knew that it was impossible for Lu Dao to rely on this matter to bring down Wang Huang, not to mention that the emperor let the thief catch the thief, and after finding out the most, it was just Wang Huang who pushed the responsibility to others, and he was scolded at most. Another reason is that Wang Hao is not actually embattled now, everyone shouts and beats, on the contrary, after taking Cai Jing's class, he overthrew all kinds of unreasonable policies in the Cai Jing period, and for a time the regulations were clear and according to the law, and the smoky upper class of the Song Dynasty suddenly had fresh air, and was being loved by the whole country, and the history books had to call it 'Quartet Ran called virtuous', so the timing was not good, and he could only comfort himself with 'not not reporting, the time has not come'.
And then there is an unspeakable reason - that is, the 'friendship' between Wang Hao and his father... Everyone has a private life, even if it is the king of a country, and they need some behind-the-scenes relaxation. Especially a high-IQ emperor like Zhao Ji with special tastes, only when he really enters his private life can he stand tall in the public officialdom.
Cai Jing and Tong Guan did this before, and they successfully integrated into Zhao Ji's true life through elegant tastes such as calligraphy, painting, bamboo and stone. But compared with 'friendship', Cai Jing and Tong Guan are inferior, the two of them walked into the elegant part of Zhao Ji's private life, which is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although this is very stylish, but in front of Cai Jing and Tong Guan, Zhao Ji couldn't help it, they are elegant people, to maintain a positive tall image, they are still too far away in terms of privacy, and they are not really integrated into the deepest part of a person's heart.
In fact, no matter how upright a person is, there is a demon in the deepest part of his heart, and he wants to eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, kill people and set fires, and do whatever he wants. It's just that in a normal society, you have to endure it, and you have to pretend to be a person. But in front of Wang Hao and a few other 'cronies', Zhao Ji can reveal his true form, and he can do whatever he wants, such as doing small business, drinking flower wine, climbing over the wall and visiting the kiln... You can do anything dirty together. …,
"Together in the mountains, together in the countryside, together with the gun, together with prostitution" is what we often call the 'four irons', is the ultimate friendship between men, such a degree of solidity, how can it be the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, flowers, birds, fish and insects of the hobby ticket friends can be compared? Therefore, Zhao Ji is not suspicious of Wang Huang at all, because this is a bad friend and an encrypted friend, and the relationship between the two is super porcelain, even surpassing Zhao Ta and his father-son relationship, Zhao Ta also has self-knowledge and can't be unconvinced, knowing that with his current strength, if he wants to move to them, he can only stop in moderation.
But Zhao Ta also knew that Wang Huang was also more harmful.
And people like Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and others started their own businesses from scratch, and with their own abilities, they fought their way out of the conspiracy traps and bullets, stepped on countless competitors, and climbed to the highest peak position of the empire, which also determined that they acted smartly, rationally, and knew the depths of the Tao. But it also determines their harmfulness, even if they can toss again, they have a bottom line, they know what to do and what not to do, they understand that the empire is a boat, if they mess around desperately, they will lead them into the whirlpool together, and everyone will drown.
But Wang Huang is different, he belongs to the 'rich second generation', his success is too quick and easy compared with the 'older generation', and the high-ranking officials and gold and silver beauties that others can't get all their lives are almost at their fingertips. In other words, they don't know how to be afraid, just like the current second generation of officials and the second generation of rich, they will shout 'My father is ** what can you do to me, thinking that there is no such thing in the world that is unfair to their own Lao Tzu and money, so they are more unscrupulous.
Now Wang Hao and the others are already standing at the top of the empire, looking around, it seems that every land and every person is tossed by them, and they can be harmed. Success after success, responsibility again and again, made them believe that it doesn't matter what they do, and there are no consequences for what they do, so they mess around in every corner of the empire and make all kinds of messes...
