A few days later, Zhao Kai and Gao Yu returned to the court.

did not dare to go through the city gate during the day, but quietly entered on the second watch day covered in the night.

He immediately entered the palace and did not go out of the imperial city until midnight.

Zhao Ta listened to Zhu Xiaoyi's report in the study, thinking in his heart, this time Zhao Kai was afraid that he would stop the formation, after all, the defeat was greatly damaged in reputation, and it was difficult to save and make up for it.

He picked up the silver lamp, picked out the lantern flowers, looked at Zhu Xiaoyi and said, "What are the legends in the city recently?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyi immediately couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Back to the prince, the biggest discussion in the market is that in addition to the defeat of King Yun, it is still those two new plays, and now Ouyang Renzhi is no one who doesn't know, every time he mentions it, it is a scolding, and everyone shouts and beats." ”

Zhao Ta nodded, and said, "How is Ouyang Bei?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyi laughed so much that the corners of his mouth were scooped up this time: "Lord Wang, Ouyang Bei is hiding in the opera garden right now and doesn't dare to go out, I heard that as soon as he went out a few days ago, he was beaten with rotten vegetable leaves, and there were people who splashed swill, and now someone is staring at him outside, and as soon as he sees him coming out, he shouts loudly, and the neighbors come to crusade." ”

Zhao Ta also smiled and looked at Zhu Xiaoyi: "Don't remember to learn from him, he is wandering on weekdays, this can be regarded as a punishment for him." ”

Zhu Xiaoyi said yes again and again, and Zhao Ta suddenly looked at him strangely and said, "Can you start a family?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and felt faintly bad in his heart, and said cautiously: "Small...... hasn't started a family yet, if you have a family, how dare you not report it to the prince, but the little one has a good match. ”

Zhao Tan frowned and said: "What's good, hurry up and start a family, otherwise I will arrange a job for you to perform on stage next time!" ”

Zhu Xiaoyi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said yes again and again, thinking that the prince's trick was simply too ruthless, and it was useless to beat and scold, but it was embarrassing to be thrown all over Tokyo, like a rat crossing the street, but it was really faceless, too miserable.

The next day, the palace issued an order to let Zhao Ta go to court three days later.

The atmosphere of this celestial court meeting was gloomy, and the ministers were all silent, and there were no people who sang praises and praises, and there was no even a start.

Zhao Ta glanced at Zhao Kai beside him, and saw that this third brother was skinny and thin, and his eye sockets were deep-set.

Emperor Daojun was silent for a long time before he spoke, first saying that the defeat of Fantian Tiger was not occupied by the right time and place, and even if the soldiers were lost, it was not the fault of King Yun.

When the ministers heard this, they all understood in their hearts that this was not only for Zhao Kai to open up, but also to excuse his own family, after all, after losing the battle, the official family also had the responsibility to use people.

So the ministers began to go out of work, looking for all kinds of reasons for the big defeat, and finally came to the conclusion that Tian Hu's side also suffered heavy losses, in fact, it was a defeat for both sides.

Zhao Ta looked at all this coldly, and always felt that Emperor Daojun's performance was not quite right, it stands to reason that he was partial to Zhao Kai, but the defeat that the world knows must also symbolically lower some punishments, but at the moment Emperor Daojun seems to have no such intentions.

Zhao Ta was puzzled in his heart, this kind of defeat was not something that could be wiped out by the ministers by touting it.

When he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Emperor Daojun say above: "Although King Yun's conquest of Tianhu is unfavorable this time, it is not completely useless!" ”

Zhao Ta was stunned when he heard this, what does this mean? He looked at the ministers, and saw that all of them were as puzzled as him, only Zhao Kai and Gao Yu remained silent, as if they had known that the emperor would say this.

I saw that Emperor Daojun paused for a few breaths and continued: "On the way back from King Yun, I met a thief from Liangshan in Shandong Province who came to vote, saying that he was deterred by our court, and he was loyal, and he was willing to raise the whole village to surrender and serve the court loyally. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhao Ta couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and he didn't believe that Zhao Kai met Liangshan's people on the way back, not to mention that Liangshan had nothing to do, what did he send people to the north for? This is clearly Emperor Daojun lying.

The ministers were also puzzled at this moment, looking at each other, puzzled in their hearts.

Zhao Tan frowned and thought secretly, if it wasn't for Zhao Kai who met Liangshan, then where did he contact Liangshan?

Originally, there was no fake courtier's hand in this matter, but Fan Lou Li Shishi pulled the line, and Emperor Daojun contacted his own family, and then there was a matter of recruiting peace.

In the meantime, Song Jiang made money, Yan Qing took it, Li Shishi maneuvered around, and finally Yan Qing saw Emperor Daojun, told him about his loyalty, and Emperor Daojun promised, so he sent someone to Zhao'an.

But now that Yan Qing is under his own command, who else on Liangshan can do this?

Master Li is very romantic, he once asked Yan Qing to strip, watch the tattoos, and caress and tease with his fingertips, if it weren't for such a handsome and strong man, who is good at everything, even if he makes money, he is afraid that Master Li will not do anything for Liangshan.

And the same is true of Emperor Daojun, vulgar people don't talk about narration, they will blast out at a glance, even if they want to see it, they are the kind of people who are proficient in blowing, playing and singing, have a romantic character, and have a character, so they can say something.

Zhao Ta's mind was racing, and all kinds of characters in Liangshan flashed one after another, and finally he raised his eyebrows, thinking of one person.

Lehe, it is very likely that Song Jiang sent Lehe over!

Le and nicknamed Iron Scream, born also talented, proficient in all kinds of music and singing, and able to speak, good at mouth, at that time Le and Zhao'an were appreciated by Wang Duwei, and then did not go to the battlefield, it was a good ending.

In the original Liangshan plan to recruit An, Lehe was also a minority involved, his status in Liangshan was not high, but if he could participate in this matter, it can be seen that the strategy!

Zhao Ta thought of Lehe's hymn:

All kinds of music will be learned, the beginning and the end of the work, and when it comes to guns and martial arts, it is like sugar and honey and love.

Exquisitely dressed, handsome and clear-mouthed. Able to sing people called iron calls, music and intelligence are innate.

That's probably the person!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ta's face couldn't help but be clouded, he already knew what Emperor Daojun was going to do.

I saw that Emperor Daojun seemed to be very satisfied with the shock of the ministers above, and then said slowly: "The thieves in Liangshan Shuibo are large and small, there are more than 70,000 people, although some of the old and weak family members in it cannot fight, but they are also considered to be the forces of the party, although the king of Yun is not good for conquering Tianhu, but it is a great achievement to subdue Liangshan!" ”

The ministers all reacted at this time, where does it matter whether Zhao Kai got the Liangshan Cheng, in short, no matter who gets it, it is always a great achievement, and at the moment it was defeated by Tian Hu, the face of the court was lost, and the royal face was gone, this thing could finally be recovered, so he praised it loudly.

Emperor Daojun nodded above and said: "Since this matter is the credit of King Yun, then the matter of going to Liangshan to recruit an will also be from King Yun." ”

Zhao Kai took a step forward and walked out of the class and said, "Erchen is willing to share the worries of the official family and serve the imperial court." ”

Emperor Daojun smiled: "This is very good, this matter still needs you to go with Gao Yu." ”

Gao Yu also went out to receive the decree when he heard this, and then Emperor Daojun issued a holy edict, and the two of them led their troops to Zhao'an Shuibo Liangshan in Jeju, Shandong Province after half a month.

The ministers all praised it, and Emperor Daojun couldn't help but be proud on it, even Zhao Kai's uneasy expression when he first went to the court also became relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Ta looked at all this coldly, it seems that Emperor Daojun is determined to pass the throne to Zhao Kai, tens of thousands of forbidden troops died on the battlefield, and returned defeated, this kind of thing can be wiped clean for him, and the implicit meaning behind it is self-evident.

According to the normal development, the Jurchens suddenly attacked, and the soldiers were trapped in Tokyo, and Emperor Daojun did not have time to change the crown prince, so he could only hurriedly pass the throne to Zhao Huan, and after the Jin soldiers who were trapped in Tokyo withdrew, Emperor Daojun felt that it was not a taste, and he wanted to regain the throne, but the result was unsuccessful.

And now that Yan Agu has been killed, the Sea Alliance has been postponed, and the time for the Jurchen general attack on the Liao State will naturally be delayed, so that there is enough time, and it is impossible to say that the Daojun Emperor is really likely to change Zhao Kai to the crown prince before the Jin soldiers come to attack!

Putting aside personal grievances and only evaluating objectively, Zhao Ta actually thinks that Zhao Kai is still somewhat stronger than Zhao Huan.

Judging from Zhao Huan's series of operations after ascending to the pole, even if Zhao Kai is incompetent and does it badly, he will do it like that at most, and he will not be more disappointing than Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan is almost a pile of things, even if there are dozens of choices, he will choose the worst one, and the one with the worst consequences is also wonderful.

And although Zhao Kai has been deflated after fighting with him again and again, he doesn't look very bright, but that is because he has insight into the opportunity ahead, and he can't just say that Zhao Kai is stupid.

And Zhao Kai opened the mansion outside, and he was familiar with the market, and he had an understanding of the military and people's livelihood.

And Zhao Heng is raised in the palace, fiddling with the flowers, birds, and birds in his yard all day long, what is the pattern of the world, and the rise and fall of major events?

Of course, as the crown prince, he can do it if he wants to care, but the problem is that Zhao Huan never cares about this, he doesn't have the society in his heart, only the chair.

And a person who covets the throne and tries by all means to ascend to the throne may not be worse than the righteousness, but he does not have a family, country, and society in his heart, and the people of Li are worse.

It's just that...... This is the comparison between the two, even if Zhao Kai is stronger, but that is only compared with Zhao Huan.

At least Zhao Ta didn't see a trace of Mingjun from any of them.

Whichever is in the upper position, it is difficult to stop the iron hooves of the north rolling, and the blades are sharp.

However, in this court meeting, he determined that no matter how difficult it is for Emperor Daojun to change his mind, it can be regarded as something to gain.

When he returned home, Zhao Ta pondered for a long time, sent someone to find Yao Pingzhong in the army, and called Luo Jinshui again.

Since Yao Pingzhong returned to Tokyo, he often came to the house, not to discuss anything with him, but to see the yellow horse.

The yellow horse is now getting fatter and fatter, and under the nonsense of eating and drinking, there is no trace of sturdy appearance on his body, but he looks like a big-bellied grasshopper, but his eyes still like to be a thief, and he still doesn't want to see Yao Pingzhong.

Called the two into the study, and it took more than an hour to go out, Yao Pingzhong's expression was solemn and complicated, but Luo Jinshui was confused.

Zhao Ta confessed one thing to the two of them, and set up a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Tokyo as the main altar of Mingjiao in Gyeonggi.

Yao Pingzhong couldn't get off the thief ship at the moment, he knew that Zhao Ta had too many secrets, such as the entanglement with the three Uighur princesses, such as Zhao Ta's personal martial arts were extremely strong, such as Zhao Ta actually entered the Ming Sect and became the right envoy of light.

What makes him most helpless is that he has also become the banner envoy of Mingjiao, and his name and surname are on the list of believers on the main altar of Mingjiao, even if he is a pseudonym, isn't it him!

It's no longer clear, from the moment he saw Liyan Nazha in Luzhou City, he, a general of the Western Army, got on Zhao Ta's ship.

Originally, there was still a return, after all, it was just a child's play to join the Mingjiao at that time, if he went down, he would return to the Western Army in the future, and he would not see the people of the Mingjiao, and he had little contact with Zhao Ta, so the matter would be light, but now, it will be light, but now, it ......

Although Yao Pingzhong's face was serious, he was stunned and stupid in his heart, just like Luo Jinshui.

King Qin had just vaguely revealed that the Central Plains Ming Sect might rebel?

This is worth it, this is not an unclear thing, this is simply five thunderbolts.

Rebellion and rebellion is the biggest crime, it is to connect the nine clans, if Mingjiao is a rebellion, it is not comparable to those cottages, in terms of the number of Mingjiao, it is a real rebellion, the same as Tianhu Wang Qing!

And he also listened to a lot of Mingjiao scriptures, Mingjiao believes in Mingzun, that is the only god, there is no surrender and peace.

If Mingjiao is the opposite, then what is he? What is Zhao Ta? I can't explain it at all!

Everyone has secrets, and it's good to not leak them, but what if they leak them?

All losses were lost, and he was completely tied to King Qin's warship!

The generals of the Western Army have never been involved in the affairs of the court, let alone the affairs of the royal family, but once they are tied to the warship of the King of Qin, they will not be able to help themselves!

Yao Pingzhong was stupid, and then he was worried, there was no way, it was all the truth on the surface, so let's do it!

He glanced at Luo Jinshui next to him, and Luo Jinshui whispered: "General Yao......"

"Hmm!" Yao Pingzhong sighed and said, "Don't say anything now, you come with me and find a place to talk secretly." ”

Luo Jinshui was so panicked that he thought more than Yao Pingzhong, because the Mingjiao disciples in Tokyo were not only King Qin, Yao Pingzhong and him, but also brought back so many people from Luzhou.

These people don't know King Qin and Yao Pingzhong, but they know him, although these people know that the above is the right envoy of light, after all, Zhao Ta opened the scriptures several times when he was in Luzhou, but they don't know the true identity of the right envoy of light.

Originally, according to his previous courage, he would have been frightened when he heard this kind of big event, but Luzhou and his party had more or less exercised some courage, and at this time, they trembled and Yao Pingzhong out of the mansion.

Yao Pingzhong stood outside the gate of the mansion and thought for a moment, he has always lived in the army, and he has not set up a house in the city, but such secrets must not be discussed outside, he knows that Liu Qi has a house that is free, and now Liu Qi is not there, just over there.

He led the way in front, followed by Luo Jinshui, and went straight to the east of the city......

Zhao Ta sat quietly in the study, neither reading nor writing, and he sat still after the two left.

When it came to buying Zhuangzi outside the city, he didn't let the people in the house do it, nor did he let the people in the broken jade building do it, but only found Yao Pingzhong and Luo Jinshui.

The matter of Mingjiao is too big, if you want to cut it off, then you should kill it, and none of the disciples brought back by Luzhou will be left.

But if he wants to run it, then except for Huang Gu, Yao Pingzhong, and Luo Jinshui, he will not let anyone around him know, whether it is the palace or the broken jade building, no one else can know that he is secretly running the Ming Sect.

The affairs of Mingjiao should not only be separated from the palace and the broken jade building, but also from Fujian and Longyou, and should be operated independently, without the slightest relationship with the side!
