Chapter 397: Surprise

The Han family was originally a Han Chen who was born as a slave in the palace, and Han Derang also led the palace army to go out many times, and most of the commanders in the palace division guards were familiar with each other, and at this moment, they took the henchmen generals Guo Taibao, Xiao Zhen, Zhang Su, etc. as minions, and they led the battalions and firmly grasped the palace division army in their hands. He slowly patrolled with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and from time to time sent his own soldiers to ask the reactions of the various battalions and the relatives of the outer clans, the weather was cold, and frost flowers were formed on the iron armor, and he was unconscious.

Seeing that the sky was dawning, he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the imperial tent and slept for a while. Although the relatives and nobles in the court and the central government were raging, under the thunder, no one dared to provoke a rebellion, and in the future, some unruly people were slowly cut off, and the overall situation of the emperor's succession to the throne was stabilized. After this battle, the status of the Han generals in the Liao State was also greatly improved.

In the Great Song Dynasty Bianliang ban, Emperor Zhao Jiong didn't know when he had insomnia, and after rejecting the concubines who served in the bed, he still tossed and turned and couldn't lie down, so he simply put on his clothes and looked carefully at a secret letter received in the evening.

Zhao Pu enumerated in detail the collusion between Lu Duoxun and Zhao Yanmei, who stayed in Xijing, and Lu Duoxun not only secretly sent his henchmen to befriend the prince many times, but also said wildly, saying that Zhao Jiong's body was weakened after two arrows from the Liao people in the Gaoliang River, and he was afraid that he would die soon, and he would definitely support Zhao Yanmei in the court and then do the thing of brother and brother.

Although he knew that Lu Duosun and Zhao Yanmei had a close relationship, and it was not the first time he had seen this letter, Zhao Jiong still gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his head burst out, which touched his two heart problems, one was the matter of brother to brother, and the other was the defeat of the Sorghum River. Lu Duoxun was the prime minister he single-handedly promoted, and he was originally the candidate to replace Zhao Pu's position in the court, but he actually befriended the emperor's brother Zhao Yanmei to try to seize the throne, which was a heinous crime.

The sound of drums outside gradually heard, Zhao Jiong could no longer sleep, so he simply put on his clothes and got up, summoning the Hanlin bachelor Cheng Zhi Cai Fang, the bachelor Hu Meng, Wei Weiqing Cui Renji, and the governor of the catering department Langzhong Teng Zhongzheng to meet them, and the official family only circulated Zhao Pu's recital to these four people once, so that they immediately arrested Lu Duoxun's henchmen and subordinates and tortured them for the crime.

The anger of the Son of Heaven was extraordinary, and the case was widely implicated, Lu Duoxun was stripped of his official title, and his family was exiled to Yazhou, even if he encountered an amnesty, he would no longer be forgiven. Zhao Tingmei was demoted to the Duke of Fuling County and exiled to Fangzhou, and Zhao Jiong also sent close officials to monitor nearby. The rest of the officials implicated included Zhao Bai, a Chinese scrivener, Yan Mi, Wang Jixun, Fan Deming, Zhao Huailu, Yan Huaizhong, and others who were subordinate to the palace.

This year, the winter in Bianliang was particularly cold, and in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Pu, who was already in the age of ear shun, hugged a cyan down coat, sat opposite Wang Yu, and the fire was blazing next to him, but Zhao Pu still seemed quite afraid of the cold, and sighed: "Old, it seems that the old man should also return to his hometown, and the affairs of the court only depend on you juniors." ”

"The Prime Minister is gaining the trust of the saint, how can he retreat lightly?" Wang Yu complimented him inappropriately, his eyes showed a trace of worry, Zhao Yanmei is the big tree in front of Zhao Dezhao, now that this big tree has been cut down, Zhao Jiong's eyes will fall more on Zhao Dezhao, maybe in the blink of an eye, the official family will be able to make Zhao Dezhao crushed.

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the official family uses Lu Duosun to replace the old man's position in the court, Lu Duosun is down, the old man is an eyesore, the emperor's heart trick is nothing more than the way of balance. Zhao Pu said leisurely, hugging the big puff on his body tighter, although the down puff duffer produced by Fuhaixing is not as elegant as a leather robe, it is better than lightweight, especially suitable for elderly people like Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu, who is old and refined, is draped on his body, and there is a detachment that seems to be about to turn into an immortal.

At that time, Zhao Pu had already relied on his support for great meritorious officials and prime ministers, Lu Duoxun was just a small intellectual, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin changed Yuan Qiande, Zhao Pu casually responded to the peace, but on the second day, Lu Duoxun played that "Qiande" was the name of the year used by Wang Yan of Hou Shu, and he was so angry that Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he used pen and ink to paint Zhao Pu's face to humiliate him, and also reprimanded Zhao Pu for being far less knowledgeable than Lu Duoxun. Since then, the two have formed a deep feud.

Lu Duoxun offended Prime Minister Zhao Pu, in order to avoid trouble, he took refuge in Zhao Kuangyi, the king of Jin, and after his brother and brother, Lu Duoxun's official position also rose. Under the suppression of Lu Duoxun, Zhao Pu's brother-in-law Hou Renbao was an official in Lingnan for nine years, Hou Renbao was afraid of dying in a foreign country, and asked Zhao Pu to help him transfer back to Beijing, but Lu Duoxun simply suggested that the official family order Hou Renbao to crusade against Jiaozhi, and Hou Renbao died outside the mountain the following year. Zhao Pu's son Zhao Chengzong served as the governor of Tanzhou, he married the royal sister Yan Guochang Princess and the daughter of the founding father Gao Huaide, Lu Duoxun was dissatisfied, Zhao Chengzong returned to Beijing to marry less than a month, and was ordered by Lu Duosun to return to Tanzhou.

Seeing that the old enemy for many years, like his wife and brother, ended up in Lingnan for the rest of his life and died in a foreign country. Zhao Pu, who should have been happy, only had a desolate feeling in his heart, he had been camped in power all his life, if he dared to offend him, and the person who fought against him to the end, except for this Lu Duoxun, there was really no one else, watching him climb step by step from a young jinshi to the hot position of prime minister, the power was as powerful as he was back then, and finally fell into a tree and a mulberry, and his family was in Lingnan, Zhao Pu instead gave birth to a trace of the feeling of rabbit death and fox sadness.

"The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking. He picked up a cup of warm rice wine, drank it all, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and sighed to Wang Yu, "Since Lu Duosun served as the secretary of the military department, he has excluded dissidents and installed many protΓ©gΓ©s in the military department. The old man got the grace of Taizu's acquaintance, but in the end, for the sake of power, he did something unconscionable, and before returning to his hometown, he did his best to talk about his modest efforts, and he would meet Taizu under Jiuquan in the future. ”

His words surprised Wang Yu, Lu Duosun fell, the political situation in the DPRK and China was turbulent, the Manchu dynasty was old, the winner of this more than ten years of prime minister's battle, Zhao Pu before the rapid retreat, to unknowingly put a few people in the military department, it was as easy as a hand.

"In the next generation of Wugong County King, thank you Prime Minister!" Wang Yu said in a deep voice, Zhao Pu's face was not sold to him, to put it bluntly, he was still preparing for Zhao Dezhao's success in the future, and his family still had the merit of supporting it.

"That's it," Zhao Pu waved his hand, staring at the cold plums outside the pavilion, the delicate white flowers, and the branches covered with snow, "The old man has seen countless people in his life, and he claims to be insightful about the world, but he has never been able to see through the vassal king in the west. The secret power has to be careful when dealing with him. At present, there is no war with the Liao State for many years, and there can be nothing in the northwest, and the imperial court should be able to soothe it, but it's a pity that it ......" Zhao Pu sighed.

"Xia Guan understands. Wang Yu replied respectfully.

"At present, Cao Han led the army to garrison the northwest of Tun to guard against him, but Cao Han will be transferred back sooner or later to do big things, and the northwest defense must not be empty at that time, so that this son can take advantage of the gap to enter and seize Guanzhong. ”

Wang Yu nodded, silent, looking absent-minded, Zhao Pu's eyes froze, he took the wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "Secret Quan, are you worrying about the King of Martial Arts?" He paused, took a sip of warm wine, and sighed, "The original Cai Daitao's good plan has become cold lips and teeth." I drank another glass of rice wine.

Seeing Zhao Pu's expression, Wang Yu's heart moved, and he stood up and said, "The younger generation has no good solution. The old Xiangguo has a heart for the society, and please look at Emperor Taizu's face, give some advice, and save the king of the county!"

Zhao Pu accepted it calmly, and the so-called scholar is the emperor's teacher, which is a due honor. He looked at Wang Yu and said slowly: "The art of war is said to be real and virtual, and virtual is real. ”

Wang Yu's eyes lit up, as if he had touched some kind of trick, and asked: "The younger generation is stupid, and I ask the old Xiangguo for guidance." ”

Zhao Pu put down the wine glass, knocked on the table and said: "The official family has been judging the case in Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and has a lot of knowledge of people's deceit, the king of martial arts is blindly low, and when King Yanmei of Qin is still there, the official family will not think much about it, and now the big tree has fallen, if the official family concentrates on observing the behavior of the king of martial arts, the traces of forgery will be too obvious." He paused, saw that Wang Yu's face changed slightly, knew that he had understood this section, smiled slightly, and continued, "The so-called advance is retreat, but there is a good opportunity now, the king of Wugong County can go to the table to intercede for the king of Qin, and ask the official family to take care of the feelings of brotherhood." ”
