Liao Yunzhi, this kind of thing, you can only say it in private, in front of the soldiers, you can't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Wu's fierce gaze swept Liao Yunzhi twice, and then withdrew his gaze.

Liao Yunzhi was sweating profusely, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Zhao Wu and said, "The subordinates are guilty, and the subordinates should die!"

Liao Yunzhi proposed this plan, there was no malice, in fact, it was for Zhao Jiajun.

The Zhao family army made great contributions on the battlefield in the north. He should have been rewarded by the imperial court, but the imperial court sent him here to suppress bandits. He did such a thankless job.

Now, he is worried that if he returns to the imperial court, he will be reprimanded by the emperor, and the imperial court will pursue it and be punished. At the same time, the achievements of the Zhao family army on the battlefield will be erased. For such a thing, as Zhao Wu's loyal deputy, Liao Yunzhi would naturally be filled with righteous indignation.

He wanted to use the bandits in Qingcheng Mountain, pretend to be the bandits in Heihuling, and act as the task of suppressing bandits for the Zhao family, which was also for the benefit of the Zhao family army and Zhao Wangfu.

However, he didn't expect to bully the monarch to this point, which would bring disaster to the Zhao Palace.

Now that Zhao Wu said these words, Liao Yunzhi reacted, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Although Zhao Jiajun made many contributions to the war, the politics of the imperial court are not well understood today. The emperor was young, and the Empress Dowager and his relatives controlled power. Unlike other aristocratic families in the capital, the Zhao Wangfu did not flatter the Queen Mother and her relatives, and won the hearts of outsiders. This naturally raises concerns among those in power at the top.

Even if military achievements were made, the imperial court would discover the shortcomings of the Zhao Palace, so that the merits of the Zhao Palace, and prevent the Zhao Palace's power from becoming too great.

This kind of thing often happens, and even Liao Yunzhi, the deputy general of Zhao Jiajun, can't look past it, so he thought of a way to prevent Zhao Jiajun from being constrained by the imperial court again.

And Liao Yunzhi put forward this plan. He thought that although the bandits in Qingcheng Mountain were not from Black Tiger Ridge, they were all mountain bandits after all. Moreover, they were indeed wiped out by the Zhao family's army. There is no problem in bringing them back to the capital to report on their achievements and accept the reward.

It's just that Liao Yunzhi didn't think of another layer.

Even if the Zhao family's army pretended to be a thief from Heihuling and took him back to complete the task of suppressing bandits, it would not be without trouble in the future.

Killing the enemy on the battlefield, the Zhao family army has no opponent.

But when it comes to intrigue and power, they are no match for the imperial court.

This time, the imperial court sent the Zhao family army to Heihuling to suppress the bandits. It was a good idea to eliminate the victorious results of the Zhao army in the north. Regardless of whether the Zhao Jiajun returns with the bandits this time or not, the imperial court will eventually find a way to suppress the Zhao Jiajun. This is not the first time.

It is better to return empty-handed and accept the punishment of the imperial court than to be deceived like this and be caught.

To a large extent, the exploits of the Zhao family army in this bloody battle of the Northern Expedition were negated.

The imperial court did not dare to do much. After all, they still have a place to use the Zhao family.

Although this situation really made Zhao Jiabing feel very suffocated, in the final analysis, they were the emperor's courtiers, and of course, they had to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Even if the imperial court did something wrong, they had to bow their heads and admit it. They couldn't say a word, this is exactly Zhao Jiajun's style.

Anyone who does not believe, disobeys the holy order, or is dissatisfied with the ruling of the imperial court and expresses dissatisfaction, will be charged with treason.

Before the Zhao Palace, there were several Wuhou families in the capital. Those soldiers were the founding fathers. Compared to the Zhao Palace, they are more powerful. Because they expressed their dissatisfaction with the emperor, they all put on the hat of rebellion and were killed.

Over the years, the reason why Zhao Wangfu has been able to maintain its glory and wealth is because it adheres to the principle of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and suffering small losses is a blessing rather than a curse.

Otherwise, they will be wiped out like other princes.
