One Hundred and Sixty-Six: Background Exposed?
After Zhao Gou finished the military salary, he went directly to Yaohua Palace.
Concubine Wei and Empress Meng were talking and chatting in the hall, and the fight was hot.
As soon as Zhao Gou came, the atmosphere was a little tense in an instant. In front of Concubine Wei, Empress Meng didn't want to disclose her relationship with Zhao Gou, so the two had to cooperate carefully and not show clues.
Concubine Wei still mentioned the matter of Chen Daochang, and there were no outsiders at that time, just talking about the old past when she was young and frivolous.
Concubine Wei obviously let him recognize his son in order to satisfy Chen Daochang's dying wish, and this time when she brought up this matter again, Concubine Wei felt that she had no way to explain it to Zhao Gou.
But Zhao Gou didn't show any discomfort at all, he didn't have a trace of uneasiness about who his father was, and such calmness made Concubine Wei at a loss.
Zhao Gou asked, "Daochang Chen, well, let's call him that, where has he gone now?" ”
Concubine Wei said: "When he came back from you, he said that he was going out to do a big thing and complete the last piece of the puzzle." I'm the one who was grounded and didn't know where he went. ”
Zhao Gou asked with interest, "The last piece of the puzzle?" After speaking, he looked at Empress Meng with an inquiring gaze.
Concubine Wei and Empress Meng didn't know what this so-called last piece of the puzzle meant.
Zhao Gou only guessed a little, but he couldn't be sure.
Chen Daochang estimated that before the curtain came down on his life, he would prepare for Zhao Gou to win the hearts of the people in the world, and the specific method might be to spread: December Likang, Wang Dao Tang Tang.
This is the content of the bag that Concubine Wei once gave him.
He Zhao Gou already has the strength to compete for the world, and now he has the support of the people.
Although he Zhao Gou is very convincing in the Daze District, his influence is not yet up to the whole Song Kingdom and even the whole world.
Suddenly, a palace maid came in and reported: "Niangniang, the Emperor Taishang has called you and the prince to go to the Palace of Eternal Life to talk." ”
Hearing this news, Concubine Wei directly trembled, as if she had been recognized by Emperor Huizong.
Zhao Gou said: "The news of my coming to the capital soon spread to the Palace of Eternal Life, and before I went to visit my father, he took the initiative to come to me, there must be something important to discuss." But this time I called my mother together, and I didn't know what it meant. ”
Concubine Wei cried in fright, her face pale: "Gou'er, did you say that your life story was discovered by him?" ”
You must know that although Emperor Huizong is not on the emperor's throne now, but the world's major events are Xiaoqing, if he wants to find out, nothing can hide from him.
Regarding Zhao Gou's life experience, only she and Chen Daochang knew about it in the whole world, could it be that it aroused the vigilance of Emperor Huizong so quickly and came to a conclusion?
When Concubine Wei thought of this, her hands and feet were weak, and she grabbed Zhao Gou's hand and said, "My son, the Emperor must have discovered something, you should leave quickly, leave me alone." ”
Zhao Gou laughed and said, "You are too nervous, even if he is all over the world, he will not understand my background so quickly." You can rest assured. It's the New Year soon, and I've already prepared a gift for him, how can I say goodbye without saying goodbye? ”
Empress Meng also immediately said: "Sister, don't worry, this matter is not as terrifying as you imagined." If Zhao Gou didn't say goodbye, wouldn't there be no three hundred taels of silver here, but wouldn't he recruit himself? ”
Concubine Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The secret of this matter is only known to me and Daochang Chen, if it weren't for satisfying one of his dying wishes, I would rather bring this truth to the grave." The Emperor has never taken the initiative to summon me, but this time I was suddenly summoned, and I was indeed a little nervous. ”
Empress Meng said: "Zhao Gou has prepared a lot of gifts for the Emperor Taishang, you guys prepare a little, hurry up and enter the palace." ”
Here, Zhao Gou and Concubine Wei made a brief preparation, and then led people to carry two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and went to the Hall of Eternal Life.
Emperor Huizong was very happy to see Zhao Gou, and a smile was written on his face.
"I heard that you and Liang Shanbo's people recently had a tough battle, which hurt Liang Shanbo's vitality, is it true?"
Zhao Gou said: "They are all Tofu fathers, and the people of Liangshanbo are not worth mentioning in front of the heavenly soldiers, if it weren't for the preparation of going north to aid Liao, the head of Liangshan Bo Wusong would have already been offered." ”
Emperor Huizong's expression was pleased, and he said calmly: "The eighth prince is loyal to the country, and your mother has also made great contributions." I have decided to bring her out of Yaohua Palace and be by my side day and night. It was the queen who played with it before, which caused unhappiness between our husband and wife. In the future, when you are on the front line and concentrate on leading the troops, you don't need to worry about your mother. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Wei's expression was excited, obviously she didn't expect Emperor Huizong to make this decision.
Yaohua Palace is a cold palace, the unfavored concubines are trapped there, and the supply and treatment are the worst, and when she returns to the palace, her situation can be greatly improved.
Concubine Wei directly knelt at the feet of Emperor Huizong and thanked her.
Zhao Gou clearly saw a flash of hideousness and disgust from the eyes of Emperor Huizong.
He has no shortage of women, and on the surface, he is high-sounding, but he still dislikes Concubine Wei very much in his heart.
Zhao Gou was amazed at the true purpose of his decision.
Could it be that the king's life history has been revealed?
Concubine Wei can pay tribute on the surface, but on the other hand, isn't it also a move by Emperor Huizong to contain Zhao Gou?
So, what exactly did he find? What are you worried about?
Emperor Huizong helped Concubine Wei to get up, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai, you have lost weight." You have a good son. ”
Concubine Wei wiped her tears and said to Emperor Huizong: "Emperor Taishang's blessing is great, this is all the blessing of our mother and wife, and Zhao Gou has this achievement." ”
Emperor Huizong asked people to bring up a lot of silk and satin to give to Concubine Wei, assigned five palace maids to Concubine Wei to serve, and arranged a separate dormitory in the Palace of Eternal Life, which was busy for a while.
Emperor Huizong set up a banquet to entertain Zhao Gou, and the two of them ate and drank in front of the palace.
Zhao Gou felt that the thorn was in his back, and Emperor Huizong's strength was not revealed as always, but he was testing Zhao Gou everywhere.
Emperor Huizong suddenly smiled bitterly, suddenly shook his head and said, "Go'er, do you know why I let your brother be the emperor while I live in seclusion behind the scenes?" ”
Zhao Gou said: "The four realms of the Great Song Dynasty are peaceful, the farmers and industrialists perform their duties, each has its own business, there is nothing in the world, and the emperor should live for the rest of his life and share peace with the people." As for his elder brother, he was originally the crown prince, with rich experience in governing the country, and even won the essence of his father, and he was obedient to the emperor when he became the emperor. ”
Of course, these are all pretty words.
Emperor Huizong said: "You are only half right. ”
Zhao Gou pretended to be surprised: "Is there anything else I don't know?" ”
Emperor Huizong said: "Under the surface of Taiping, there is an undercurrent. The Jin Kingdom has risen, what does it rely on? It's a hidden warrior. The reason why I took a break from my busy state affairs was to eliminate the hidden warriors in the world. In this way, our Great Song Dynasty can have long-term peace and stability. ”
"The Hidden Warrior?" Zhao Gou pretended to be puzzled and said, "My father has never talked about this matter. ”
Emperor Huizong smiled coldly, stared at Zhao Gou's eyes for a while, Zhao Gou's thirsty gaze made him unable to distinguish the truth from the false, and said in his heart Could it be that Zhao Gou really knows nothing, it is obviously impossible, it is estimated that Empress Meng has already told him about the hidden warrior.
And Zhao Gou pretended not to know anything, as if he and Empress Meng had never been to Handan to steal the map of the Lingyuan Mine.
Of course, Emperor Huizong can't say anything.
Zhao Gou pretended to be stupid and stunned, as if he was playing with his cleverness, but he Emperor Huizong took the initiative to say it, and it seemed that he himself was too lacking in the city.
Behind his back, he continued to target the hidden warrior and Zhao Gou, and with Zhao Gou's strength, he must have discovered something a long time ago.
Since you Zhao Gou is pretending to be stupid, he Emperor Huizong will not take the initiative to have a showdown with you.
After all, he has a trump card in his hand, and that is Concubine Wei.
Concubine Wei is Zhao Gou's mother, and now that Concubine Wei is directly controlled by Emperor Huizong, he Zhao Gou will inevitably be jealous, and he will be much more honest in the future.
Of course, this is not the goal, he also needs to know how much Zhao Gou knows about the real Lingyuan Mine map.
After all, the real map had been stolen, and he was sure that it had something to do with Zhao Gou.
